[Q] Fail to update 2.3.6 after stock flash Skyrocket i727

Can any one tell me what i did wrong?
I used a I727UCALC4_OneClick package to flash my at&t i727 to android 4.0.3. For some reason my home button and search button did not work so i said to return back to stock.
I flashed the phone with SGH-I727-UCKJ2-k0nane thru ODIN to return to stock 2.3.5 . I then tried to do a OTA update to 2.3.6. The update downloads and starts installing , reboots the phone and fails to finish.
Any help please ? Thanks

I tried doing this myself last night. Remember you will lose your root once taking it to 2.3.5, so re root using Odin, then, reboot. Then follow the root instructions as outlined by user k0nane here at xda. Then get into clockwork mod recovery mode and restore to the backup version you did of 2.3.6...much easier process than trying to flash stock. Hope that helps.

You might have renamed the backup, the backup might be corrupt, or you did the backup with a different version of cwm than you are trying to restore it with.

If this helps I got here a copy of my mhx lite 2.3.6 I made before going to 4.0.3

so cwm doesnt restore a backup if it was not made with the same cwm version ?

i was able to fix the md5 mismatch and it restored successfully, however it does not boot now. It stalls and the samsung logo.

Try using the restore I linked, something just seems wrong with yours

Sometimes it does and sometimes it has problems

Also did you flash the right modem as well?
Correct me if I'm wrong but cwm doesn't backup the modem as I recall

Its mhx superlite 3.1 but if the rom will work you can later on flash whatever you want. Atm you seem to be stuck with an unusable phone so anything is better.

Go to sammobile.com
make an account
go to firmware section
type i727 in the box
scroll down and download the tar
extract with 7zip
Flash in odin
Then drink beer and such

i was able to flash tru cwm a att rom that worked. Everything works ok now.
It is possible to transfer my data from the backup into this working rom ?

Just flash modem. To match firmware....

UCLA3 modem, firmware and rom were flashed and everything works great. I only need to transfer my user data from the backup. Can i flash only the user data to the phone from that original backup?

pretty risky if the backups corrupt anyway... but you can try (i would make a back up first)

CM10

I have installed CM10 rom and I want to change it. It will not let me can someone tell me what I can do

Change to what? Another jb Rom or an ics or gb Rom?
If another jb then download your Rom to your phone, boot to recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvic then flash
If ics or gb you will have to Odin or heimdall back to stock...jellybean is in a different format (MTD) then ics and gb currently the only way back is heimdall or Odin to a stock firmware
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

I'm assuming you want to downgrade from an MTD version of CM10? If so, you're going to want to revert to stock and install a custom kernel and CWM recovery so you can start flashing again.
Here's how:

How to back to GB from CyanogenMod 10 alpha 4 by dhiru?

1.repartition from odin
2.took and the battery and place it
3.flash xxkpe pda,modem,bootloader,csc
4.wait until phone booting and reset all data(press *2767*3855# in dialpad)

without pit or with pit?:silly:

I'm not sure bro but what you mentioned is the right way to go back to GB. But im not sure what did Dhiru told you about modem. What im doing is i have my backup custom rom of GB. So if i want to go back to GB i just restore it from CWM.

dude, a very simple instruction from Dhiru, do not flash modem with odin, it will corrupt your partition of CM alpha 4 which is using MTP system.
Alfix, have explain that use adb push to push the modem.bin of your choose to the /radio partition if you face radio issue or use a CWM flash zip to flash in recovery mode.
so, due to the new mtp partition system introduce by Dhriu CM10 alpha 4, the odin will not be use to flash anything. including the custom kernel.
how to go back to stock? you need to use odin with pit file, Lalotion case is a accident.
1. makesure your odin can detect your phone....
2. flash pit file first or together with XXKPE tar with or without bootloader. DON'T tell me it wont work, me and most of the member have done that, IT WORK!!
3. after flash KPE, your phone will reboot as normal.

Your method is quite confuaing me. For doing restore kernel.should be same which was used at the time of backup. GB kernel is entirely different from cm10 kernel. Then how u restore it??

And then full wipe

[Q] after update to JB, not able to downgrade

Since upgrading to JB 4.1.2, I am not able to downgrade to ICS. After the flashing ICS via odin or for that matter mobile odin, is complete, it goes into a boot loop. Only way way out was again flash Jelly bean, it worked. Is there any firmware with full components like pda separate file, CSC separate file and phone separate file? I have heard that we need to flash these separate files via odin to downgrade. can anybody give a download link for the same?

Do you have a CWM back-up from a previous ROM?

you must go to stock ricovery ( with power + volum up ) and then wipe data
( your data are remove ( factory riset )
sorry for my bad ENGLISH

But I have heard that if one wipes factory reset through stock recovery, I am afraid one is liable to get bricked devices.

I would research the factory reset option. It shouldn't brick your device.

NO! Wipe data in STOCK recovery brick your device, but if you wipe in CWM you are safe.

Just to make it clear.. wiping from stock is Safe IF you are in HC or JB ( someone said its safe ) but a big NO in ICS because it causes the tab to be bricked.. wiping from CWM on all roms is SAFE.. pls.. get your facts right..

If you want to downgrade from official JB to official ICS, you have to have .pit file
You can search pit file for P6200 in XDA and using odin to flash official ICS with option re-partition checked
First time, when my friend downgrade without .pit file, tab got stuck at SS logo even wipe everything fully. With .pit file, it succeeded

Is it necessary to have three different files ie pda, phone and csc when using pit file eith repartition checked?

No, just ICS Stock Rom with .pit file
P6200 pit file in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886) works fine

You can downgrade to HC, do wipes and flash ICS.

i usually do encounter this on my 7.7 when i flash hc from ics...what i did was wipe the device using cwm after flashing the older firmware to fix the bootloop...
my friend have tab 7 plus and i'm planning to flash jb on it...is the stock JB recovery free from the brickbug?

Did you check option re-partition in Odin?
By the way, stuck at SS logo is quite often happened if you did not wipe. You should try to perform full wipe.
There is an issue related to wipe using ICS stock recovery, you should use Odin to flash CWM recovery (without .pit file) and use CWM recovery to wipe.

when you are stuck in bootloop flash cwm recovery and do a full wipe..that will fix it...avoid full reset using stock recovery to prevent brickbug

Stock ICS for Blaze?

Hey guys! Maybe I am really bad at finding stuff, but could someone clearly post the stock ICS software for the blaze? For all the recoveries to go back to stock, I keep finding the gingerbread ones. I currently am running CM 11, and if anything goes wrong, I know that I need to use the ICS recovery, rather than the gingerbread one. Thank you in advance for helping a helpless noob! XP

FOR EVERYONE HAVING ANY PROBLEMS RETURNING TO STOCK FIRMWARE READ THIS
So first register at www.sammobile.com, then search SGH-T769 under firmware and download the August 2012 ICS or The Feb 2013 ICS Firmware, wait for the download to finish (took me 30 minutes) then extract which ever firmware zip you downloaded then using Odin click on PDA and select the .md5 file which is located in the extracted ICS Firmware Folder that you've downloaded from sammobile.com
Download the PIT file here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919228
Click on PIT in Odin and then select the one downloaded from the link above
Edit: I believe the pit file download link at that thread no longer works but if I remember correctly the pit file isn't needed (it's not do or die) you can continue without it your phone will be fine
then make sure re-partition isn't checked and start the flashing process after it is done flashing and reboots you'll have stock ICS.
*IF YOU WANT TO ROOT IT READ BELOW*
to root it simply follow the instructions over at the root ics stock thread found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919228
This will flash a custom recovery and once the recovery is flashed using Odin reboot into recovery and flash the superuser.zip then you'll have Rooted Stock ICS Firmware
*BOOT LOOP MIGHT OCCUR*
To fix boot looping after flashing stock ICS just boot into stock recovery and wipe data and cache then reboot or on custom recover wipe cache and dalvik cache reboot and you're good to go.

Thanks a lot man! I was rooting my mom's phone (we all got blazes... Go figure!) and ran into an issue when I ran into a bootloop the first time I tried rooting... When I tried undoing the softbrick, I accidentally loaded the gingerbread stock back on, rather than ICS, and found that her SD partition was inaccessible. Thankfully, using the stock ICS, I reverted back to it and then rooted again when done with that. She's now on ProvisionMod, and its running smooth as butter! I was hesitant to put her on Kitkat cuz I know the camera bug still needs to be worked out... But when that's fixed, I plan on putting her on something like CM 11 when its all said and done. Thanks to all the helpful developers who made all of this possible! You guys are the best!!!!!
