I was multi-tasking and not paying attention when I flashed the entire MR2 ROM onto my rooted phone instead of just flashing the radio. (I know that I am an idiot.)
Oddly enough, my phone didn't brick, but it's back to S-ON. Anyone have any ideas on how I get back to a rooted state?
Re-root your phone.

My dad came home from work today and his stock Inspire 4G has stopped working. Nothing has been done to it. It simply hard locked and turned itself off. Since then I can't get it to boot past the boot loader. Once it's in the bootloader it checks for the PG98IMG.zip and then doesn't respond to anything else. I have tried numerous battery pulls, connecting to the phone with ADB and so forth but no response from the phone. Any ideas? AT&T has shipped him a refurb, but I figured I would take a crack at it until then since his phone would probably be better than some random refurb.
Sad, seems like it's boot looping: on stock rom, no less. My options will void the warranty, though, as it entails installing custom roms:
1. Push a cooked rom by rooting it. The cooked rom should be clean, but it will be rooted, thus, warranty void.
2. Try looking for stock rom for the HTC Inspire, push that using ADB and have the bootloader use it. Hopefully, it should restore stock settings to your inspire and still be replaced through warranty (i wouldn't know, I haven't sent a rooted phone in to warranty yet)
If that fails, might as well call AT&T and say it's a dud.

You could take the pd98img.zip from the ruu and it would do a clean install and more then likely boot the phone up, unless it is a hardware issue. I don't see the need to root it if all he wants is the stock rom.
Btw you can find the pd98img.zip in the guide stickied in the general section.

Wait, how did you get into the bootloader if you dad's phone is stock?
same way you do on a rooted phone power plus volume down..I think you are confusing the bootloader with recovery.

No, I just didn't know you could do that on stock.

I think I'll try this. I'm wondering if it's a hardware problem though. My dad just told me that yesterday it was losing signal and then he would reboot it and it would regain signal for a little while and drop it again. May be a radio problem.
LEAVE IT BE. There is no reason to monkey with it if you already got the refurb, just send it away. Just because you want to poke around like bill nye or something might end up costing your dad $450.
I Agree Leave it be

hi, friends my problem is ike that too. I swithed on to Hboot and pushed to recovery. after that my phone can not read PD98IMG.zip, I wanna install stock rom by sd card but it can not read it. when I stand in it sd card with PD98Img, its "checking" then again staying on Hboot system. please help me how to do it?
Why not just take the stock ruu which installs from the pc?

I have a question about flashing back to stock.
When I got the phone I rooted and unlocked the bootloader, then I made a backup of the stock rom
I have KingCobra on now with 1.88 and my Rogers backup is 1.73 will this matter or can I just flash away?
Do you mean downgrading your phone to 1.73 . If yes refer to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671135

Just find the RUU in a thread or the stock rom and use the RUU to go back to stock if thats what your trying to do. THat way you can also be on 1.85 or 88
if you made a backup using recovery then restoring it will take you completely back to where you were when you made that backup. Restoring that backup will wipe the partitions removing remnants of the previous rom.
I didn't make a backup before i rooted, unlocked and put in CleanROM. What steps do i need to take assuming I found the stock ruu?
same
I'm in the same boat almost. I had 1.85 rooted on the one click path just to have the ability to use free WiFi tethering. Now I was forced to upgrade to 2.20 which is a nice upgrade minus breaking my chrome browser. Anyways I wanted to get rid of stuff I did but it seemed kinda confusing so far. I saw superuser had a clean up optio to uproot but it doesn't do anything.

It's been reported that after people have taken the update chrome will hang when trying to switch between tabs in effect making it useless

I am scared that i know the answer to this but thought i would ask. I was rooted, unlocked the bootloader the whole bit and was running Jellywiz for a while. I decided to go back to stock via restore. My phone started downloading the latest verizon update and without thinking i agreed to it. I lost root and was wondering if there is a easy way to get it back without physically going through the whole rooting process again? i tried installing supersu and doing the update but that did not work. Thanks in advance
You could try Odin-ing a image thats already rooted but honestly to be safe I'd just go through the steps again. I have done that myself once (not on a samsung phone) . Even though it sucks to lose your setup I'd rather be careful then risk a brick. Just my .02 cents though.
I followed this after update no issues

Thank you, i will give it a shot when i get home tonight
all current root methods work with the latest ota...just reroot and enjoy.
Does anyone know any way to get the One S back to as close to stock as possible? I'm returning my phone to T-mobile for service and I can't get 'TAMPERED' to disappear from HBoot without the RUU. Also, now having an issue with every time I turn on the phone it has the developer text on the splash screen even though it isn't entering hboot or recovery.
Does anyone have any ideas on either issue? The only threads I can find are people with pretty much the same issue and no solution or pre 2.35 updates.

Sorry, I should also mention I've loaded a nandroid backup of the stock rom without root and attempted to flash the "stock" recovery. I'm not sure about the recovery because I don't believe it came from the 2.35 software and that's when I started to have issues with the splash screen. Loaded TWRP back on and still same issue.
Also, was having issues after with the device not loading to anything but bootloader until I re-unlocked it then it started fine.
I don't think you're gonna be able to do anything without ruu

That's kind of what I was afraid of. Any ideas on when that could be? Or if HTC would have that file?
from personal experience, dont worry about it, t-mobile wont care.
I had a sidekick that I bricked, and there was no way to even power it on, went to tmobile with custom sw and recovery...
also I had a sensation that i sent back with custom rom and a custom recovery because the phone would not get power, never heard anything about.
I read somewhere online that tmobile returns the phones to stock even before they check them.
if you send it back as is, you SHOULD be fine... ive done it twice.

Could you provide a link for the stock nandroid? It would be much appreciated! I am on CM 10 but can't get back to stock. The stock nandroid I downloaded the other day fails upon restoring everytime.

I just used the one in the dev section.
Phone:
Galaxy s4 (gti9505)
Network: Three.
Right. So I rooted my phone and flashed cyanogen mod 11. On 2 occasions I nearly had heart failure because I thought I'd bricked my phone. However I didn't and am successfully running the ROM no problems. The thing is I don't really like it and wish to go bk to stock. It goes without saying I did a nandroid back up but I kept getting an error while trying to restor using the nandroid backup and have been stuck with this ROM I don't like for a good month. I've read that I can revert to stock using Odin but am scared to do so as it was scary enough flashing this ROM yet alone undoing it.
Does anybody know of anywhere or anyone that could do this for me. I live in the uk, manchester.
Any help seriously apprexiayed.
Thanks guys.

Yes you are right you need odin to flash stock firmware.....just download it from sammobile.com and flash it via odin and you are good to go......but you will lose root after flashing stock?
Hit thanks if it helped?
