[Q] stock recovery

Im on ota from the first leak. Then i flashed the scv7 without making a backup. I downloaded an app that allows you to manipulate the radio and now my texting doesnt work. I normally would fxz back but i don't think there is one for the second leak or ota. If i load into stock recovery and reset to factory will that bring it back to stock ot back to scv7 without a launcher like it would if i reset to factory in a custom recovery

Hate to say it man but I think you're hosed. Factory reset will not fix your text issue.
You need to fxz back but you CANNOT as we don't have an ICS fxz.
Time to get a replacement.

No. It will only wipe user data, and the radio modifications would either be system or radio.img modifications.

This is exactly what we were warning everyone about - IF YOU WANT TO ROOT AND MOD YOUR PHONE ON ICS, STAY ON THE FIRST LEAK ONLY! There is no safety net fxz for anything higher than leak#1 yet. (Sorry, for the caps lock, but it wasn't directed only at you.)
Can you boot into custom recovery (probably not, from the sound of it)? Not sure what and how bad things are messed up, but you can't re-install the OTA through stock recovery.. I don't suppose you made a system.img before this happened? If you can't get into custom recovery, then your only hopes at this point is to flash something with moto-fastboot in AP Fastboot mode - i.e. system.img and/or radio.img - but, that probably won't help unless they are images from your own phone.

Yea everything works but the text messaging . I actually flashed the multilingual stock thinking it would fix but it didn't.

Yea, like I said man. Unfortunately, we have no way of fixing your issue right now. You need a replacement phone.

Yea thats where i got the number for it I was really excited when it was fixed. Thanks again for your support

[Q] GT-I9003L update

Hi all! I'm trying to update my Samsung Galaxy S (GT-I9003L). It's rooted.I get an OTA update but when I try to apply it, it says "Kernel verify fail. Update fail"
My current firmware version is 2.3.6, my baseband is I9003LUBKPD, my kernel version is is 2.6.35.7-CL765780 [email protected] #1 and my compilation number is GINGERBREAD.UBKPE
I think the problem has to do with the phone being rooted. I unrooted it using the clockwork mod recovery menu, but it didn't work either.
Is there anything I could do?
Thanks!!!

Its giving that error because u r rooted.
Rooting changes your kernel.
And even after unrooting ur device from recovery the kernel remains the same.

So, does it mean I'm out of luck?

No.
U may flash stock rom.
And later from settings u may update ur phone.

Is there a way to just restore the recovery kernel without flashing the whole rom?

(I tried to find the answer before asking but I haven't been able to) Do I need to flash the full stock rom? Or is there a way to just restore the stock recovery kernel? I'm asking because when I rooted I just flashed the PDA file to the phone, but I'm still using the stock rom.
And... is there any guide or tutorial to do this?

-Removed for Personal Information-

I have one way to help.
Keep the stock fw file on sdcard and then by using mobileOdin, select kernel and choose the rom file.
And dont forget to uncheck the rooting options at bottom.
But be sure you have a backed up ur current rom.
As i m not sure if it will definitely work or not.

just flash the entire stock firmware if you want to get OTA

[Q] Can't flash any GB Roms... From ICS

So I'm on He'll fire Sandwich 1.9 and every time I try to flash a rom that's GB based it keeps saying "installation aborted (bad)"
I've downloaded it from my G2X and from my computer multiple times and it says the same each time... Wtf someone please help.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Are you using CWM or ROM Manager? If the answer is CWM, did you use ROM Manager or NVflash?
Also, have you tried a different ROM, or just the same one?

Basically what the first reply was, but wanted to add in so you know,
If you used ROM Manager to do basically anything, you need to NVFlash CWM and than always use CWM to flash anything. ROM Manager does whats called a fake flash of CWM.
And than yes, which ROM(s)?

trying that now....

well i tried flashing stock and it works but when i rebooted after the LG boot Screen the screen is all black and the backlight just keeps flashing on and off... any suggestions?

Search the G2x development forum for Batch Cleanup Tool. Run that, then flash a stock ROM. Boot that ROM once, then try a custom ROM.

I downloaded the cleanup batch and ran it.... proceeded to install the stock ROM and still stuck on a black screen with the backlight flashing on and off. I think I've tried everything to fix it and nothing works....

Which stock ROM are you installing? Have you tried downloading it again, to make sure it's not a bad download?
Also which CWM are you using? if you're using touch, rev ert back to an older version

[Q] Going from Jelly Bean to GingerBread

I need help im tired of jellybean. Theres too many things not working for me and i want to go back to GingerBread. I try to flash GingerBread roms but it just brings me back to CWM recovery. Is there a way to go back or im stuck on jellybean. I even tried to flash an Icecream Sandwich rom but it just brings me back to CWM recovery. My recovery is 6.0.2.8.

You probably should just one-click to stock and start from there.

I don't think you can downgrade from an mtd ROM if you were using one. I think you will have to return to the stock 2.3.6 first, and then flash another ROM if you would like.

That means you were using an MTD ROM before, so you have to restore to stock. There's an easy way to do with the Heimdall One-Click

I'm sure somebody knows an answer to this, but I'm just gonna say it. You need a case.

Way to respect the OP by still making the useless reply and besides don't you think it's a little late for a case?
And do a search
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T769 using xda app-developers app

I
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
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 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 or if you want you could just skip flashing superuser.zip and just flash a custom rom.
*BOOT LOOP MIGHT OCCUR*
To fix boot looping after flashing stock ICS just boot into stock or custom recovery and wipe data and cache then reboot and you're good to go.
