[Q] Returning to stock [i9020a]

I just wanted to make sure that I understood the process of returning my phone to stock before I make a mistake.
All I've done since I purchased the phone was root it and unlock the bootloader. I have not loaded any custom roms.
So If I understand this correctly I need to:
1) Flash the Stock Image (which should include the stock recovery?)
2) Use fastboot to lock the bootloader
The reason I'm wanting to return the phone to stock is to receive OTA updates. I never use any apps requiring root, and don't plan on loading any custom roms.
I never did find a 2.3.4 stock image for the I9020A..

you should actually be able to get ota updates no problem. it'll just remove root every time you update.
it's probably not a good idea to lock the bootloader though cause if you ever want to unlock it again in the future you'll have to wipe everything from your phone. your best bet is to just flash stock recovery so you can install the update
i'm pretty sure that works, but hopefully someone else can verify just so you don't get some bad information lol

I heard the same thing about OTA updates. If you're phone is rooted and you're using the original rom, you'll get the update but you'll have to root your phone once again.
I haven't tried this myself so I cannot verify it.
It's just the word on the street, you know!

you need stock everything, so stock kernel, rom, radio, etc... the op should be fine to update if they flash stock recovery though. rooting is simple from there

Thanks kibmcz ! I'm a n00b when it comes to this but when you say flash via ClockworkMod you mean get into clockwork recovery mount the usb, transfer the zip onto the SD card and then <<Install from zip>> ?
Is that the method?

Thanks again kibmcz, so I just completed the flash, then did a fastbook oem lock.
Seems to be working fine except for one thing...
When I go into settings and hit Sound I get a Force close when I try and select a new ringtone...
Should I try reflashing again?

Didn't happen on mine (In fact im using a self rooted rom based on that exact stock zip) try doing a wipe in stock recovery.

after flashing that does it take it back to out of box condition?
reason i ask is because i bought a already rooted and unlocked one here from market place and i want to return it to stock firmware, radio, kernel and such to recieve OTA updates and what not.
your info is greatly appreciated

Using my zip yes... it flashes Bootloader, Radio, Boot, System and on first boot (and any other time recovery changes) Recovery is flashed. All you got to to is lock the bootloader and that wipes user data and usb storage.

hey man i appreciate you coming forward with a solution, ive yet to recieve the phone but wanted to prepare.
my goal is to flash everything back to stock and start completly over whereas i have no clue what method was originally used to root and unlock the bootloader.
when the time comes hope you dont mind a PM if i have any extra questions.

Just did the method using the stock ROM provided by kibmcz "thanks BTW!"
Phone is back to stock, working like it did when I first bought it. Had a little trouble with some Force Close issues but did a factory reset/data clear of the cache and all that before re-flashing, and it seems to be working Vanilla!

So all I have done to my nexus s is root and cwm and kernel. I can do the ota to 2.3.6 or flash your package?

Can you restore a nexus s to "factory" settings to receive OTA updates?

Hi Guys, as subject really! Is it possible to get the phone in a "Google" state to pull down updates, obviously meaning the impending ICS one!

I'm implying that you're on a custom ROM at the moment. You'll have to flash one of the stock ROM images, then you can get OTA's again.
It doesn't matter if you're rooted or have an unlocked bootloader.

Hey mate, thankyou for helping. I've not actually received it yet, bought one off ebay and I am just pre-empting - If you flash stock does the root and unlocked bootloader become standard again??
(I'm upgrading from an old Galaxy 3, so am reasonably familiar with flashing, but want a simple life now and am going stock Google )
B

Nope, flashing a stock image will not affect your bootloader being unlocked. You'll have to run the "fastboot oem lock" command to lock the bootloader again. Check one of the turorials here

//edit: Actually, I'm suddenly not sure of this. Sunday evenings' got me confused. Please wait for someone else to verify.

Thankyou I'll have a look round

I have been flashing several ROMs using ROM Manager and the bootloader wasn't affected by this. The stock OTAs kept unrooting the phone though.

That's normal, the OTA's reset the permissions on key folders, effectively SU looses it's execute permissions, removing root. What i do now is download the OTA to the SD card, apply it, re-apply the SU.zip to keep root, modify the restore-recovery script so i can keep CWM, then reboot.
I'm not sure how it's going to go with ICS, but we shall see.

Recommendations on OTA (ATT 4.0.3/4.0/1.73)

Hey all,
I rooted my HOX (1.73, 4.0.3) with the kpenn ne-Click a few days after I got it for the Tether and to de-bloat. Since then I haven't read anything on the One X till I heard Jelly Bean coming along. Anyhoo my question is what the upside of getting the new OTA (4.0.4) would be and how I would go about it if I wanted to (I've never updated before and ATT has stopped asking me to update, also I get nothing when I try to check for an update).
I've been reading around and it seems like most people are on to 1.85 and are flashing 4.1/2.2. My primary uses of my phone are for the media applications/web browsing and I haven't noticed any real drop in performance but I have heard the new updates have sped up the HOX considerably which is something I'm always interested in.
Thanks!

DON'T flash any OTA you will lose your root and will lose your ability to re root because there is no boot loader unlock for the new base. If you want to update and flash a new ROM and want to stick to sense, look at clean rom or xi40. Both are updated on the new base and are heaps and bounds better than the original ATT software :thumbup:

i one-clicked unrooted my phone earlier and freaked out (and the new updates didn't work out on my phone anyway). i ended up getting kpenn's one click again and putting SU back into my phone. Do you have any links that can take me on a step by step process of unlocking my phone and flashing those roms on it? I just love being able to control my phone and pushing it to its absolute limits.

Sigh. I followed the tutorial but I made a few mistakes...
1) I unlocked my phone way earlier than I should have so I wiped everything before I could make a back-up..
2) Re-locked accordingly to see if I could keep updating. I did manage to get to 1.85 like the tutorial said but.....
3) Since I didn't have a custom recovery I wasn't sure how to proceed. I couldn't get the root to flash so I tried using the 1-click 1.85 root since my phone was running 1.85.
....This ended up updating to 2.2 so now I have an unlocked HOX 2.2/4.0.4. With all the bloat.
Dumb dumb dumb. Ugh.

it's UNLOCKED?
you're lucky then.
just push a recovery like twrp then push root. Then you can debloat.

Yep, it's still unlocked. That was around the 4-7th reset I did (I messed up a lot). Do you have a link that shows me how to do that? I'm actually not as bummed about going to 2.2 since it runs so much faster than 1.73 did.

after that look at this thread to install twrp http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777773
then this one to re-root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673935

I notice one of the links is for 1.85. Does that mean that I'll go from 2.2 back to 1.85? I just wanted to make sure since my impression from the forums is that there is no 2.2 root yet unless it was flashed.

no those pages just tell you how to manually install root and recovery.
your bootloader is still unlockable
unlock it
then install a recovery
then install root via that recovery

Ahh, thanks a bunch man.

Sorry if this is repetitive....
So I've checked my phone and currently it states that it is
"Re-locked"
I downloaded a recovery so it's currently on my phone. Furthermore I all ready had a copy of SU sitting in my phone's download folder.
Does this mean that I'm going to...
- Unlock bootloader (that is currently relocked) and have everything erased again.
- Reboot from recovery (of the evita 2.2.img I just downloaded with TWRP)
- Then flash the SU root I all ready have on my phone?

yeah unlock the boot loader. set up the phone again
then install the recovery then root.
to make your unlock stick, turn off fastboot in power options, then power down phone completely then restart it to the bootloader.

Hmm, so my phone is definitely unlocked now. I installed the recovery and I manually flashedthe new SuperSU in that link you posted for me. As far as I can tell nothing is happening.
Note: It says that it installs the recovery but there is no reboot that occurs. I've done this both with the android app and manually and nothing is happening.
I don't see SuperSU and rootchecker is confirming that my phone isn't rooted yet.

so you reboot to recovery, choose the superSU package to install then what happens?
I know this works I've done it quite a few times myself.

Presently I installed the latest img file with TWRP with the app. There is not reboot that occurs (unless I'm suppose to reboot on my own?). If that's the case then I've been a total idiot.
I've just been installing the openrecovery and then I press "Flash Roms" to flash the supersu. I get a little notification that says "Preparing to Flash" and then nada.

After you install twrp recovery you reboot. Then you boot to recovery and flash the super su zip manually

Wooh! I got it to work! Thank you so much!

How to apply OTA update on Rooted At&t One X

Hi,
I have this AT&T one x, (I m using on NON AT&T network), so cant have an ota update.
Looking at few forums, downloaded the OTA version on XDA (631 Mb)
Saw people writing, that just rename the file to update.zip and then go to recovery and choose install from internal memory.
That dint work for me.
Error: not able to mount sd mem
Then few people wrote to choose install from external mem.
That dint work either.
Error: not able to mount sd mem
Then saw few people saying that I need to root my device and unlock bootloader.
I dint that, and tried from bootlaoder to install from zip.
That also dint work.
Now saw, I few wrote that i need to be S - OFF.
Which I tried doing it, but i m not able to do s-off for myself.
Pls pls pls.... can any of you EXPERTs out here help me.
Waited like for AT&T to release the update, now when it is out, i m not able to make it through.
Your step by step instruction would be highly appreciable.

Be aware, that if you have the AT&T version, and you are rooted, then you probably have SuperCID (in fact, you must have SuperCID, unless it was already changed back). If you have SuperCID you must S-off (or return to the AT&T CID) before applying the OTA, or you will brick your phone!
I am not all that familiar with the process to install using OTA.zip (and haven't done it myself), but it was discussed in these threads:

In this case , do i need to relock my bootloader and stock recovery?
If yes, where can i find stock recovery, i have deleted it.

By "i deleted it" do you mean you installed a custom recovery? If so, yes you need to get stock recovery back on.
Only way I know of to reinstall stock recovery is to run the 2.20 ruu. Since you're s-off, you don't need to relock; just run it.

You probably have a custom recovery. Reboot to bootloader and select recovery and see what you get. If it's TWRP, you'll get a teamwin splash screen and then some options. Stock recovery will just show a screen with a green circle.

And now in case anyone needs help, i can help those people out.
Coz the method is simple, but it is not at all explained clearly in any of the threads.
It has come in bit and pieces.

I have noticed one thing.
That after installing the update and again unlockin the bootloader and rooting, I am not able to see "TAMPERED" being written in the boatloader.
Also, now when I am rooted and also have SU permission, I m not able to switch on my WiFi tether with the files mentioned in the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677261

The "TAMPERED" flag goes away when you're s-off and flash a new hboot.
I believe wifi tether is blocked on the new AT&T base. You can flash a custom rom on the 3.17 base and it should work.

Soft Bricked! (Need help finding RUU)

Hey Everyone!
I've been trying to fix this problem for hours with no luck, and while I've found solutions that have worked for others I can't find one that is specific enough to my situation.
So I just got an HTC One X that is locked to Rogers today from Kijiji, and I love it - great phone. The thing I didn't like was the hoard of stock apps that took up about four pages on the app drawer, so I thought hey, I'll root it and delete them. I didn't have any intention of using any custom ROMs, just wanted superuser permission to delete stock apps. Unlocking went fine (finding the token and what not using the app I found on here), and the rooting seemed to go alright until it turned off and didn't start again. I pulled out the cable from the computer and now things are weird..
I can sometimes get into the hboot, but when I try to just start the phone normally it goes to the HTC splash screen and has red writing telling me "this build is for development purposes only", etc etc. I really wanted to get rid of those stock apps but at this point I just want my phone working again. Am I screwed?
I CANNOT find the RUU that I need ANYWHERE. I've tried flashing both Clockwork Recovery and TWRP, and both are apparently successfully installed, but neither will open for me. This is seriously pushing me towards an iPhone
Thanks in advance.

Yes, please get an iphone! Redpoint73 resource compilation thread, linked in my signature, has all the RUUs and OTAs you would ever need. Good luck.

Sweet, I found the right RUU but it's a zip file and I'm not able to get into recovery mode on my phone. I can get into hboot but rebooting to recovery from there just shows the HTC splash screen with the "developer only" message" then shuts off again. I've tried installing both Clockwork and TWRP with no luck. Any ideas?

The zip file is an OTA and not an RUU. You would need to extract the recovery from that zip file (may be burried deep). Will be called recovery.img or recovery_signed.img or something to that effect. Fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img then boot to that recovery then install the zip through the phone's stock recovery.

I really appreciate the help but I still can't seem to find the proper RUU. I've tried a few and they all fail. If it helps, the number I get when I typed getvar version-main is: 3.17.631.2
Would someone be able to link me to a download for this particular RUU? Thanks
Edit: Thought I'd update a bit of what I've done. Ive found the one I should need in the list you've provided, but there is no link for download. There is the OTA file but not the RUU. I've been using ARUWizard to try to install the RUU, but any one I've tried so far just says it's not the right one. No other error messages, it just tells me to find the appropriate ROM. I can't understand why this is so difficult to find the right one! It seems like all the other models are readily available. Thanks again!

Rogers did not release an ruu for that software version. Proceed with the ota the way I explained in my last post or s-off if you want to run the ruu for the older software version.

For some reason flashing stock recovery doesn't work for me. It says it is successful but when I try to boot to recovery it just goes right back to hboot or sits on the HTC splash screen. I can install TWRP though. Do you know of a nandroid backup for my phone? cid is Roger001

Try that. Nandroid will not restore your recovery. Only the ROM/kernel/radio files and settings.

I have tried that but unfortunately still can't get into stock recovery. It just goes to the HTC splash and shuts off after a couple of seconds. I know I have the right OTA so if I can get into stock recovery I shouldn't have a problem. Any other suggestions? Am I downloading the wrong version of the recovery?

Extract the recovery from the OTA Zip file. It will be in there somewhere. I have done this myself so I know it works.

Sorry, I forgot to mention, if you are not S-OFF, you need to relock after flashing stock recovery and doing fastboot erase cache.

Hey guys, sorry for the late reply, it was a busy long weekend. Here's where I'm at now. I've managed to install cyanogenmod, which booted up fine and everything looked great, but the touch screen didn't work. After some searching I found it it is because the firmware is too new or something, and to downgrade the touch firmware I would have to S-OFF, which would require me to superCID... and I don't know what any of that is and I'd really just like to get back to stock anyway, so..
I've done what you said. Taken the "recovery.img" out of the OTA file for my phone. I've flashed the recovery, relocked the bootloader and erased the cache. Upon booting to recovery it will either splash the HTC screen then go to a black screen (I used to think it was powering off but it looks like it is on but just not displaying anything). Sometimes it will show a image of a phone with a red exclamation mark with a triangle around it.
I feel like I've royally screwed up this phone and I'd just like to get it back to stock.
Thanks!
Edit: The internet is telling me hold volume up + power to get to recovery from the red triangle, but it just reboots me into the bootloader.

You just need to get into stock recovery. Then you can install that ota zip file. I remember having a hard time getting into it too. I would reflash stock recovery to try to remember how I got to the flash screen but my motherboard is out on rma.

Just posting in case other people have my problem:
I didn't fix it myself, but a friend did for me. He said it wasn't rooted properly so he basically started from scratch and redid that part of it. There is no RUU file for my phone, but he used to AT&T version and it seems to have worked perfectly. Nothing I've noticed so far has any problems.
Anyway, thanks for all the help guys!

Since your friend fixed the issue for you what firmware are you now now. Is it still rooted?

Looks like I have Android version 4.1.1, HTC Sense 4+, and using CleanROM 6.5.0. Is that what you were wondering?
Also, SuperUser is enabled in SuperSU, so that means I'm rooted right?
