Hey guys!! i need HELP ASAP!.. i went to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835536&highlight=install and tried to install that theme.. and now my phone loads the SE bootscreen and then it reboots infinite..
anyone can help me??

hi there,you will have to flash your phone or go into xrecovery and do a full wipe,wipe cache partition then into advanced options-wipe dalvik cache then wipe battery stats,let me know if i can help further

then reboot phone after wiping battery stats,should work again then

oh man.. this means i'll lost everything on my phone? i don't have xrecovery installed :/

did you ever have x recovery?

no never.. this is bad? do i need to flash my phone?

yea flash it,download astro file manager,x recovery is in there,is ur phone rooted?

yup is rooted.. should i use this guide to flash it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
can u help me decide wich baseband file should i use? my phone is x10a

yea you could,what baseband you on atm,im on 2.1.54,using this theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935187.x recovery is really handy.download appbrain and fast web installer 2.and sync your apps to it,go to the appbrain site 2.your apps are always there.so if u flash ur phone just reinstall them thru appbrain.http://www.appbrain.com/my_apps

there is no stock recovery,http://www.youtube.com/user/BluechipJ#p/u/34/JmS3nk2Nxl4 install x recovery help and another http://www.youtube.com/user/BluechipJ#p/u/31/mqcLpxT0tQQ,go 4 link 2 its easier

2. the first video, i think they are using xrecovery.. but and old version.. theres a new one.. 0.3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571
i just install the apk and thats it?

thanks! you're awesome!

its ok,you going to install x recovery now?

nope.. later.. i'm installing everything again..

return to stock, USB port borken?

As the title suggests, my USB has not been working for about two weeks, and I finally have time to look into this more. Seems nothing is working... tried drivers from PDANet, different cables, different PC everything. It was working one day and than not the next. Anyhow, is there a way I can return to stock, unrooted so I can get this repaired? Should I take the chance and bring it to Sprint anyway? I do have insurance.... perhaps that's the best way?
Thanks for help!

My best guess will be to boot onto recovery and try to restore from a backup but I'm not entirely sure (since it's for warranty) as u may need to lock the root again and I don't know if that's possible without the pc.

You can download the stock ROM to your sdcard directory using your phone's browser and flash the ROM on CWM.

If you have DropBox app, you can upload the stock ROM to www.dropbox.com and download it using your DropBox app.

Yeah, I was trying to do this yesterday, but I every download link I found has been closed.... any the link posted here doesnt include the sprint version.
man, this sucks.

mine is even worse.i cant bring it to repairs.cuz i hafe the US version of the nexus s. and im in europe..
i imported mine when it got released.

im going to post this in the Nexus S 4G development forum... seems like it's a little more active with more technical details.
I'll try and remember to post back here with what I've been able to do.

DO THIS.
seriously i had the same problem a fortnight ago and thought it was the internal sd, i formated it (didnt work) so i wiped the phone to reflash it. thats when i realized my horrible mistake; but lo and behold the usb was working again so i was able to put a rom on there and flash it. if a wipe and reflash doesnt work try a format first (remember to redownload a rom before you wipe the phone though)

This is the new value pack, i.e new official firmware.
It contains the Al Jazeera widget you were talking about. In addition, it has apps like tquran and prayertimes. It has a new lockscreen and callscreen.
It's perfectly safe to flash it. I got first hand experience.
Just flash it.

I think you need to use Root Explorer and paste those files somewhere. Don't know for sure. Sorry.

Nevermind. Hopefully you figure it out. ALWAYS DO A BACKUP BEFORE ROOTING/FLASHING!!

Just restore back to stock firmware using Odin. You need to download a file called SGH-T769-UVLB7-hitsquad.tar and blaze.pit, load those up in Odin and unselect all options except Reboot. And carefully make sure Repartition is unchecked as well.

[Q] i9505 restore bloatware for OTA lollipop 5.0

Hi, this is my first actual post. I have searched and can't see this query anywhere else.
Ok I'll try to make this as clear as possible, I have read Lollipop 5.0 has been released in the UK for the i9505 and I want to update OTA (which would be when xPosed framework is compatible) but I have a couple problems. I am rooted and I find out now that you can't do OTA if you have previously deleted the bloatware that came with the phone which I have done. Process I have come up with:
1) Use Titanium Backup to backup ALL apps to SD
2) Restore the bloatware by flashing stock Android 4.2.2 firmware to go back to original (can't remember my deleted apps and factory reset won't restore them)
3) Carry out OTA (using CF-autoroot or SU survival mode to keep root)
4) Restore Titanium backups from SD
My questions:
1) Is that process correct?
2) Would flashing the stock rom get rid of my Custom Recovery? Or anything on my external SD?
3) Do I need to unlock bootloader? How do I know if mine is already unlocked or not?
4) Possibly any way to keep my apps layout on homepage?
Extra info: I don't want to get CM, since I had CM11 and didn't like it, prefer the stock touchwiz and custom ROMs have too many bugs.
Would really appreciate any direction on this issue.
Phone info:
Model: Samsung Galaxy S4
Android version: 4.2.2
Baseband version: I9505XXUBMGA

Anyone? :good:

Here is the way
1. Backup using helium app
2. Unroot using SuperSU app (in the setting there is a option)
3. Download stock ROM from sammoble (choose the proper one)
4. Flash it using odin (u need to have stock recovery & bootloader status dosenr matter until u r stock)
5. Before flashing do a hard reset.just to be safe
6. Restore ur app d data using helium(this time u will need a pc)
7. Check for update from settings.
8. & to save ur launcher (touchwiz) there is option in helium
The reason why I don't suggest to keep root cuz at the moment lollipop will run into issues if rooted..later on after u r done with updating u can try rooting.make sure to backup SD just in case something goes wrong
WARNING I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG CUZ ITS U WHO IS DOING NOT ME....well it won't go wrong is u do properly..

Thanks for the reply. Checked out helium app on google play and around the internet, many people are having issues with restoring backups, I'll give it a try while I have a nandroid backup just to see how it works.
Sorry I didn't understand what you meant in the brackets for number 4, can you please elaborate?
Lollipop needs to fix itself! Root is most important for me, I'll update when Xposed is compatible on Lollipop hopefully the root issue will be fixed by then.

It dosent matter what is ur boot loader status,locked or unlocked...if u r flashing a official ROM boot loader status dosent matter.d for flashing a stock rom u need a stock recovery....d for helium if restoring dosent work I move the files manually
Good luck in future :thumbup:

Oh ok gotcha! Hmm since I'll wait until root works I think I might just Titanium Backup since I have the Pro version, might as well use it You say I need a stock recovery, would that appear automatically when flashing the stock rom and get rid of my CWM recovery or is there a certain process to be done in order to get that recovery? (I think it's the former option but just checking Thanksss

Lol every one got different taste .. U have to download stock recovery zip d flash it...use the thanks button lol it ur wish ....simple as tht... Simply get a custom ROM like echo...I m also using GPE 5.0.1 ROM ANDROID L is useless...d all the goodness of amoled screen is useless

I can download the latest official firmware at sammobile.com, look for firmwares, and search your device specific rom/carrier.
Good luck! :fingers-crossed:

Just checked in YouTube the difference between the Google edition and original and the original is much better in my opinion. The main thing is I don't want to lose all the camera features it comes with. And I can't seem to find stock lollipop for the original S4 on Sammobile, have to navigate with my phone since laptop is bust. I'll give it a quick look again.
