I'm gonna be gettin a G-Nex & givin the Charge to my wife. I took it back to stock, rooted it and de-bloated with TiBu. I had been using the imnuts-nofullbatt-debloated421.zip but it's not working with this stock OTA ROM rooted. Is there a fix version out there that wil work with this?

Just applied the latest update for 2.2.1. However before i did that i used 928droid's "stock odexed theme" to get back to as close to stock as possible to avoid problems.
Now how will i go about getting themes again? Can i use their "deodexer" them on the newest 2.2.1 update. Or will i have to manually do it? And even then, are we able to install 2.2 themes on the newest 2.2.1 update?
2.2.1 Deodex issue
I did the exact same as you by returning from 928 to "stock odexed theme", then I unrooted before getting the OTA. I wanted to avoid any problems for the update. I rerooted with z4root and all was well at that point. When I tried to go back with the 928 "deodexer" theme my phone would not reboot. I pulled the battery, started over and had the same result. Probably need to wait for a 928 update that works with system version 2.3.340 as the latest one available is for 2.3.15.
DX - 2.2.1 OTA - LV Overclock 1.3GHz - Best MFLOPS: 27.613 @ 3.04 seconds
This stuff is not for the faint of heart !! Bricking a $300.00 phone is stressfull !!
Okay ... after much trial and error, this is what I did and I have what looks to me to be a stock rooted EE4. I am sure it is not stock as I used imnuts' debloated tar but that's fine, it is working and not trying to send me an update.
Okay, regardless of what I went thru to get to this point, these are the steps I took to have the phone updated to EE4 and rooted.
via Odin 3 I rolled the phone back to ED1 using the [ODIN] Stock Rooted ED1 (downgrade from ED2) [2011.05.18] file found in the Dev forum.
The phone re-booted and was again a stock rooted ED1 and it was trying to push me the EE4 update. I DID NOT update the phone OTA.
I immediately took the battery back out and went back into Odin and flashed imnuts' debloated ee4 file found at [ROM][06-10-2011] EE4 Debloated V4.2.1 in the dev forum.
When re-booting after this flash, the Samsung logo stayed on the screen for what must have been a good 8+ minutes. There was a sexy female voice that would occasionally talk to me and soothe my nerves during this process. The phone rebooted !!
After flashing I rebooted and the phone was trying to push the ee4 update to me. I went into 'about phone' and checked and what it showed was
Baseband Version
i510.06.V.EE4
SCH-I510.EE1
Build number
SCH-I510.ED1
I then went into the build.prop editor using SGS Tools and changed all instances of ED1 to EE4. I believe there are 5 of them to change.
After saving the changes I rebooted the phone. Upon re-start, I went back in and checked the build number and it is
SCH-I510.EE4
The phone is not attempting to send any system updates and it IS rooted.
I then went into it with Titanium and deleted a lot of the useless pre-installed apps.
So far so good. It looks to me like it's where I wanted it.
Dude, that's complicated. But if it works, then it works. Cant complain against that, huh?
Here is what I did.
Flash back to stock ED1 rooted. Take the OTA update, flash droidxcon's ee4 package 3, flash kejar's sdcard fix, flash imnuts debloated v4.2.1, and boom. You're rooted EE4 with EE4 basebands.
After that, I flashed Gummy.
LOL... I think it's actually less complicated than I am wordy !!!
Rollback to ED1
Flash imnuts debloated EE4
Edit build.prop
That's all there really was to it.
That gives EE4 Basebands and EE4 Build
The rest of the book was just me explaining the process I took in checking everything.
But like ya said, it's the end result that matters !!
Is there a version of the no battery popup fix that works with a stock rooted 2.3.6 ep4?
I've used imnuts' debloat-421 version with other roms but I am giving the phone to wife and moving to G-Nex. I have gone back to stock, rooted, mounted system and deleted auto restore stock recovery so it will keep CWM. Then I de-bloated it via TiBu.
But the version of the no full battery popup fix I have does not work on 2.3.6 ep4. Is there one out there that will?
Do you mean the low battery notification/pop-up? Or the full battery? Or in case I'm misunderstanding - something completely different?
I'm sorry, I wasn't clear on my question. I am looking for the kernal that eliminates the full battery popup nag screen that you get when the battery is 100%.
I've used the zip that imnuts provided ... nofullbatt-debloated-imnuts421 and it worked with custom roms. I am wondering if there is one available for a stock rooted 2.3.6 rooted phone.
The craziest thing happened to me, but as of 9PM PST, this worked for me.
I was on UCLF5 rooted, debloated.
I wanted to be 100% stock, so I did this through Kies thinking I'll probably have to go back to 2.3.5 first. Then it would let me upgrade to 4.0.4....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749021&highlight=kies
But when my device rebooted, I was on 4.0.4 UCLF6! All my apps were there. Nothing had to be restored, but I lost root and all bloat showed back up. Still, it saved me hours of work!
This might be a better option than ODIN for some. It's like a unrooted 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 Kies upgrade, but starting from UCLF5. I think this deserves it's own thread because the link above is a thread for people expecting to go back to 2.3.5.
Lastly, this worked for me, but I can't guarantee it'll work for you too. Backup first!
Is there a way to update phone without losing root.. Galaxy s3 to (sprint). Running wicked sensations v2.1. Currently got lj7. :good: Thank you and have a great day.
Not too sure but I think the safest way is to go back to stock rom & unroot, then update youre phone & then root again, the rooting process only takes about 5-10mins anyway. Cant really see why you would wanna go back to stock rom after being rooted & running a modded rom? But hey hope this helps & if so press the thanks button :thumbup:

Stock
I dont want to go back to stock.. Just wanted the update.. There is no way i would ever go back to stock. I love the rom i am currently running.. Thank you for your insight though.. I know freeza has a couple of updates up.. Just don't know which one to do. The odexed or the deoxed one..
If youre just asking about updating youre custom rom.... just make a backup via youre recovery mode, wipe cache, wipe dev cache, wipe/factory reset, then flash the rom, test it & if you are not happy, reapply youre backup? :thumbup:

Flashing
No my custom rom rom is up to date with the newest release. Was referring to the kernel or whatever it is that is being pushed by samsung. When it switched to jellybean 4.1 it was lj7. Which is what i have.. Since then it has updated to 4.1.2 with mb6 and just recently mb1. The newest contains the multi view addon.. This is through google as well.. Anyway it is the samsung firmware, not my custom rom firmware.
