Background. Was using 2.2 for the longest time, loved Firefly. Went ahead and bit the bullet and decided to go to 2.3 and use Gingerbread. Solid week of great success. However I started notcing my antenna saying no signal. Several Reboots and still nothing worked. Decided I would One-Click Back to 2.1 and start fresh. Well I never had issues with Odin 1 Click before, but now I get in a boot loop (ATT SPlash Screen) I have noticed when its unloading the package after , the last thing i see is CSC and that it boots into the loop. Would love to get my phone back to stock so i can see if its a hardware or software issue with my antenna. I have looked at this link, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&postcount=36 but was afraid I possibly might still have GB bootloaders on my phone. I would think not if Odin finished, but I just want to double check with the community so I dont brick.
Thanks guys.
Can you get into DL mode? IF so, i would try and Odin again. ALthough I looked at the link in your OP, unless your heart is set on 2.1JH7, i would use the Odin3 one click downloader. That will restore your phone to 2.1JF6 as well as flash the correct bootloaders. I have gone back and forth from continuum to cm7 a few times now using that method.
Thanks for the quick reply. however this is the 3rd time trying Odin-1 Click tonight and I still end up in a boot loop. I have redownloaded the file just to make sure I didnt have a corrupt one. I just want a stock system and see if the constant antenna issues continue. (Trust me Ive tried different modems and all those possibilities.) Is it safe with that link? I noticed when i do Odin they flash a sbin and bootloader. I am assuming that puts it back on 2.1
which Odin are you using? Are you using the one click program that gives you stock firmware... JF6 firmware?

Yup thats what I have. It looks like it doesn't load the android system. Soon as it says installing Multi-CSC its done and rebooting. It would seem like its not unpacking the files. I have no status bar at the bottom. I have no idea why its doing this. Here is the crazy part. If i go back to the ginberbread stock, its not a problem to get to boot.
while I'm no expert.. seems like a bootloader thing. Try downloading it again from the link i put up and see if it was maybe a corrupted download.
The bootloaders are the first thing flashed in odin. It stopped after that then you have stock bootloaders. Also if all you see is the white AT&T screen and then it reboots, that indicates stock bootloaders as well. The gb bootloaders have a black galaxy s I9000 screen as the param.lfs image.
I would bet money you have stock bootloaders, use that link you posted that work be perfect. If you go back to gingerbread and want to return to stock bootloaders you'll have to use one click again even though you got a problem from it this time, if you get the same problem you know this worked to fix it.
And lastly usually problems with cell signal are modem related ... Which one were you using, did you even try another one? That would've been my first move instead of going all the way back to stock.
Hey studacris,
I have been using Mosaic (Love the work you guys do over there). I did try and use the other method to get back to Stock Last night and it did the same thing. Just a bootloop. If its plugged into the USB cable it goes directly to the Battery Symbol, if its not the Att 3G bars loop. I can flash to Gingerbread stock and then apply Other Roms. I tried GR-2 and Mosaic again, but still nothing with the signals. I just dont like the fact I cant get back to Stock with those 2 different methods. What I think is odd is when I load Gingerbread, it seems like items are being unpacked and loaded. When i try to go to Stock, everything happens super quick, making me believe nothing ever gets installed on the Internal Card during the unpacking sequence. I am no pro, but thats just something i noticed. Here was my original post on the Mosaic board. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14043766&highlight=Rizz67#post14043766
Okay.
So, I have tried to UTSE on this and found a thread that directed me to flash a new radio (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884) which I have done but the fastboot is still not letting my phone respond.
So...
My phone is a GT 19023.
I'd updated to jelly bean awhile ago but was having some serious performance problems and wanted to flash back down to ICS or GB. Of course, the recovery wasn't working so I went to Nexus Hacks and downloaded his recovery files, stupidly I didnt notice it was 4G specific (crespo4g), just that it was for ICS and JB. The recovery seemed to work ok, had the new touchscreen version, but then I tried to install a stock GB ROM from my SD card. At the end it seemed stuck on writing radio. Wasnt doing anything so assumed it was ok to reboot. When it rebooted every process was failing so I tried to do the fastboot flash recovery again and the phone just wouldnt respond.
Tht's where I am at now.
Saw another thread and got directed to the link above to flash the radio.
Did that, used the UCKF1 radio, no problems installed fine but the phone still won't respond to fastboot flash recovery using recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-crespo.
Can anyone point me in the right direction PRETTY PLEASE! I'm not a techie guy and its my only phone :crying:
You did a lot wrong here. NEVER DO SOMETHING UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETE KNOWLEDGE OF IT
Also you flashed the wrong radio. I would suggest you to stop as where you are right now.
You need to go complete stock first, by flashing the factory image.
So I decided to start with fresh ICS install coming from leak 1. I didn't care if I ever was able to flash back to 2.3 so I used the FXZ files found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1961310
It started the flash and seemed to be working properly. Seemed to flash the MBM. Then erase the firmware and as It was writing the new It said flash failure. 18/1 or 1/18. After letting it sit for awhile and looking up some stuff I tried again and it keeps getting stuck at flashing MBM. So now what? I thought about trying the 2.3.6 FXZ but if it updated the MBM the first time that's probably not an option..What about just flashing the firmware? Anyway I'm hoping someone can help me out.
Edit:
Well I'm not sure what happened but I have managed to boot into Android. It was a fresh install and had me setup my phone again. When I enter fast boot I haven't seen the phone show up, as I wanted to try and flash again.
I don't know if I have a partial/buggy install or if it's perfectly fine. So far it seems to run alright, it did seem a little buggy when I was first setting it up though. I took some screen shots of the about phone area. Maybe someone can tell me if all the numbers are the same as what's in the FXZ.

The kernel is the ICS one. I guess you're good. :thumbup:
So I finally took the plunge to AOSP since I have my note 2 to run stable. First thing I noticed was that the camera got a "can't connect to the camera" error. Fixed permissions, wiped multiple times, tried a couple different AOSP roms and nothing, so I looked deeper and found some file replacements for the data folders, tried that and still nothing. Wiped again flashed a stock rooted image and still nothing, so last resort was 2 different stock rooted and not-rooted images through ODIN. Successful flashes of both and still no camera.
I am stumped i thought my fail safe ODIN would work but it didn't if anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
p.s. my bootloder is unlocked.
::UPDATE::
Ok so after continuing the troubleshoot finally stumbled upon something. After restoring a stock ODIN of ICS from when i first got the phone I let Verizon run through and do its update and after it finished VOILA my camera's working. I honestly don't know how it happened but nothing else had worked, now i have to go through and unlock root and get a custom ROM again. hopefully this can help someone if this happens to them.
ive been trying to get my xt1031 back to stock so i cna use it on another carrier. so i first had a problem flashing to 4.4.4 listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62090152&postcount=1642 so i decided to try 4.4.2 using a batch file found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2646415&page=6 and just replaced the fw files with mine, well it completed fine but now it just hangs at the boot logo without fully booting. so im just trying to get this on stock, dont really care what version at this point
