I was on stock 2.3.6, rooted, and flashed the reboot menu mod, totally forgetting it was for deodexed roms only. Now I have widespread FC issues, usb doesn't work, data and wifi show they're connected but I can't navigate to any websites or anything net related. Zumocast opens but won't recognize my pc.
I didn't make a backup either, I know, dumb move.
So is there any way I can get my phone fully functional again?

Woohoo for me accidentally making a system dump of 2.3.6 odexed (restored the wrong backup ) and not deleting it! I'll upload a flashable zip in just a moment that should return the replaced files back to stock.
BTW this shouldn't be in the dev section
---------- Post added at 11:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 PM ----------
Alright so here it is. Just dismiss all the FC's and reboot into recovery, then flash this (wipe Dalvik and cache partition before flashing).
It might say some irrelevant stuff while flashing, but it should be fine... I just forgot to remove some logging/thanks on previous updater-scripts. Good luck!

I hope that works....couple observations....I am in the process of d/l the stock 2.3.6 deodexed cwm backup in lfabers thread and was gonna try to fix it that way, that file is 166mb....the file you just posted is just 7mb, is that the right file?

Yes, what I uploaded just restores framework-res, framework, and android.policy which are the files that get modified in the reboot in power options mod.

Transfer it to your computer so you will always have it available.
If that is not something you want to do there will always be a RUU available for your phone
copy your backup to a hdd or something to keep it safe just-in-case
i even got 3 instances of my backup. just to be sure as im always flashing. you never know, something might happen.
all I need to copy is the backup from cwm correct?

Once you flash CM7 your life will be so much better
you can also email it to yourself...... just sayin
or dropbox it lol
Before you flash a ROM, try and find the RUU so should the worst happen you can always go back to stock.

I think we get the idea that YOU think CM7 is good. If it was THAT good everyone would be running it, no?

I'm confused now,I thought the backup I made prior to rooting was stock,no?well what did I backup then?
You've backed up your ROM as it is NOW, an RUU can be used to go back to a 100%, out-the-box state. Always worth getting it in case your backup becomes corrupt.
What software version are you running on at the moment?
I'm running ARHD 3.6.2
So you have no idea what software version you were on out the box?
Accidently erased these two files by Titanium backup.Did not create a backup either.
Yahoo.contacts 2.3.5
Yahoo.Mail.Authenticator 2.3.5
Now can`t add contacts. Factory reset did not help. Is there a way around to restore these files?
Go to the development section download the fastboot files then Google rsd 5.6 and use that to flash with. It will take you completely back to stock so backup everything first.
You can also, extract the files from the fxz system.img file, and use adb push to put them in /system/app on your phone.

Thought about that method but from the way his post is worded I figured any mention of pushing the files via adb would receive a great big " what's that?how do I?" Figured flashing the fxz was about the most noob proof way.
You got that right mate. I am a bit technically challenged. Have replaced stock app with Gocontacts. Seems to have solved it. Will wait for the official update. Will that solve it?

Agreed, just thought I would throw that out there, and if he wants to ask and learn something, I would be happy to explain, but flashing the fxz is really the safest way.

You most likely will not be eligible for updates, several who have been working hard to unlock the bootloader have found out the hard way that removing stock apps, has made even qa and dev updates not work.

This is a jellybean port so it should boot and work.

Please hit thanks before u download because this took me weeks to get working. I hope u like it.
MOD Edit: Link removed, its junk, you would not want it anyway
This is system dump based port.
Enjoy

Trying it right now I guess a build compiled from source would be better, but this at least proves we can get this thing booting
this is a port ?
a port from which device exactly ?

because the system dump from JellyBean happened on Day 1 of I/O...Before you try and correct somone, or 'ask a loaded question' do your homework. Cool to see that were able to boot into JB with an ICS kernel. I will try making a source build off of the JB-DEV branch later today after this EXTREMELY long sync finishes,,
Does it boot correctly?

Hello guys,
can you please wait flashing it? I download it at the moment and will test it for you. If my device gets broken it's not a huge probelem:
1. i have s-off (no not made by myself)
2. i have flashed a new rom with wipe 1 hour ago.
SO you don't need to delete your apps or waste your time.
Showing back in, i would say 30mins
So... my question to the OP is, how did you install the rom with no META-INF folder (what actually installs it) and with no boot.img (kernel)? And where are those screenshots?

To make sure, take out your phone's battery after powering down and make sure that you have one of these two phone models (either one is fine):

You messaged me about the IMEI, please keep the relevant information here.
There was one forum user who claimed he was able to edit IMEI numbers for this phone but that was a long while ago.
I just hope you made a backup of your nv_data file before you tried to edit it as that's the only way to make sure you can restore it.

I probably should've checked before trying, but is this for the latest Feb update? It's bootlooping on my Metro Stylo 2 Plus. The download links work though.

Just starting with basics. did you wipe system by any chance?
and is your boot.img unsecure? If not download the Unsecure boot and flash via fastboot or flashing app like flashify apk.
Try restoring your odex stock first and make sure you install this per the op directions only. Let me know if you got it.
Thanks..
If you want a t-mobile rom you must flash any k550 .dz file using the LG UP tool. Even if you do your t-mobile or any other sim card will not work unless your phone is network unlocked.. Meaning you paid for an unlock service or the phone has at least 90 days worth of active service.

When I tested the procedure, that will happen because you have to wipe data and format. Put the zips on your sd_card and flash from there. Ext_sdcard is preferred that's all.. Just don't wipe System ,Internal storage and External.
Ok Thanks. So far running smooth.
Hey, thanks for the response. I tried it several times, restoring my backup after each bootloop. I know your zip only has the four folders you said to delete (and then you flash them back from the zip).
Anyway, I tried flashing a dz file, but it did not work and I got to the miniOS scray looking thing. Luckily I was able to flash twrp back and restored my backup once again.
I am gonna keep trying to put the Tmobile rom on there though because I had the first Stylo and it was locked to Metro, but once I converted to the Tmobile rom, it worked fine. Hopefully that is still the case.
But yeah, thanks for providing the files.
P.S. I think my Stylo Plus 2 is still on the original rom from August, cause I just got it yesterday and didn't update before I rooted.

I have a metro phone. flashed this and works fine.
Your bootloader OEM unlock in developer options must be checked and of course you already unlocked your bootloader via fastboot command..Fastboot OEM unlock..
Make sure you have a permissive boot.img. I posted a boot in the op if needed.... Just some food for thought.
