[Q][GT-i9020a] How do I reflash back to factory?

Hi, new Android user here.
I was trying to root my Nexus S phone yesterday and I'm having problems. There is a lot of rooting guides out there and I used one from xda and also one from unlockr.com. Managed to root the phone ok (I think), but everytime I flash a custom ROM, the phone won't start at all, it just sits at the boot up screen and repeats itself.
So I'm thinking, I should just start over again. So I flash the stock ROM from xda back to 2.3.1. Everything seems ok, the phone starts up... but it's always stuck on airplane mode and the phone itself doesn't even show stuff like IMEI, mac address anymore.
So now I figure I've probably messed the phone up enough and need help lol. How do I go about reflashing the stock ROM and getting my Nexus back to out of the box condition (Stock ROM and no custom bootloader)?? Any guides or step by step instructions would be very helpful.
Thanks
Did you wipe before flashing roms?

Maybe flashing the KB2 modem would help that but the 9020a came stock with 2.3.3 and not 2.3.1 so that could be it...I'm not sure but that software wasn't meant at all for ours so it could be part of the problem. But if I was you I'd take a look at this thread wich has all the stock software for your phone. Make sure you wipe everything in clockework and then flash the stock rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13123996&postcount=39
dsixda uploaded the stock backup and the stock recovery, you can read more at that link, good luck hope it helps
You can download the full stock ROM from the link below:
http://goo.gl/8P8vl
Move the zip file to sdcard. Boot into recovery and flash the ROM. It should get you back to stock 2.3.4 ROM, all locked.

[Q] recovery

Hi Guys,
Got a bit of a problem, got a sensation xe and tonight i did the s-off and rooted then tried to put a new rom on but it just bootlooped so went to recovery and did a restore and all was ok,
rooted it again and put the PG58IMG back on did the update then it just went as far as the beats logo and looped.
i tried to get into recovery but it wouldnt go and just kept saying no image or wrong image every time i tried, i read some similar threads to this and so eventually i took out the sd card and then got back into recovery but doing a restore didnt work,
took the sd card out and using the pc deleted the PG58IMG which i thought might be causing the problem, tried recovery and it started again but on rebooting it just bootloops again, can anybody help me?
Need to know exactly what you did at the time of flashing? What steps have you done and what ROM?

Ok i followed the guide on here....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 got s-off and root.
tried to super cid and couldnt get it done anyway got s-off and rooted put the PG58IMG in root updated and then took it out of root then tried to put the darkforest sensation xe ics 3.2.1 rom on, got bootloop then went to recovery and did a restore, everything was then ok.
Checked the phone and it was unrooted so did another complete backup looked to see what might be wrong and i thought i had put the wrong PG58IMG on so i went and put what i thought was the right PG58IMG on updated it and then rebooted and it went into a bootloop.
Tried to do a recovery but would not allow it it just kept running through "no image" then "wrong image" then "no image" and so on.
Tried to get into recovery but wouldnt move down so after reading a similar thread i pulled the sim and got into recovery selected the first of the two restore options and it was restoring from cwd rebooted and it started on a bootloop again going to the beats logo this time.
Thank for your help btw.
Forgot to add it was the revolution system. Thanks for any help!

To install ICS roms you need an additional step. Before installing the rom you should supercid and install the new ICS firmware. You can find the link on the second line of darkforest sensation xe ics 3.2.1.
If don't want to supercid follow the instruction here and download the firmware package for your CID (3.24, revolutionary or normal).
Install the new firmware.
Remove the PG58IMG from your sd card
Install the ICS rom.

You don't root with PG58IMG, that's for the custom recovery. Have you installed the su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip file from the guide?
Hi, yes i have the su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip installed and have removed the PG58IMG from the sd card, but as i say the thing is just boot looping after the beats logo and i would like to find out the next steps to get things back to normal?
Thanks grandelama can you tell me my next move to get back to normal and out of bootloop?
What ROM do you currently have on your phone that doesn't boot? Stock or Darkforest or something else? I'm not sure what rom you restored from the backup... If you restored the Darkforest rom and didn't install the correct firmware as Grandelama said, it will get stuck in a bootloop. If you did install the firmware, try reinstalling the Darkforest rom.
Otherwise, to get your phone working, just do a full wipe in recovery and try to install any gingerbread based rom, for example Android Revolution HD 3.6.13 from here. It should install fine and get your phone to a working condition. Then you can try to get superCID and install the firmware if you want to use ICS roms.
If you have Clockworkmod working and are going to install custom roms anyway, you don't need to worry about installing the su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip file, since all those custom roms are already rooted.
If you have completed without errors the points 1, 2 and 3 of the guide, and you can use Clockworkmod recovery you are now ready to install any NON ICS rom like Android Revolution HD 3.6.13.
Run the superwipe script in Android revolution HD thread, install the 3.6.13 rom and you should boot up allright
If you want to use an ICS rom your missing a step (new firmware) and you need to follow the instructions I gave you in the last post.
Ok thanks guys, i'll try that and let you know how i get on.
Dr Madman i tried the dark forest rom but it wouldnt load so went into recovery and went back to the original stock gingerbread then thinking i had put the wrong 58img changed it and updated but it just bootloaded so did a cwm restore and it still bootloads.
I'm still not sure just what to do next because i'm afraid i might make things worse.
I went into recovery then to backup and restore and then restore and this time restored the second image that was there in CWM it went thru all the recovery, asked to reboot and when i did it still keeps bootlooping.
Why is CWM not getting me back to stock?
Grandelama i'm certain i did what you suggested in your first post but got bootloop after that and CWM got me back but it hasnt worked this time!
Dr Madman,, i could do a wipedata/factory rest wipe cache partition and install Android Revolution HD 3.6.13 because its on the sd card but to be honest i'm just to frightened to at the moment, basically i wanted to go to restore and have it back as stock but it wont! and now i'm not sure which way to go?

If you did what I suggested you have installed the 3.24 firmware for ICS roms, am I right?
Can you tell which exact version did you install? Where did you download it from? The one from the Kohr-Ah thread...mike1986's version or what?
If you installed mike1986's version without Supercid first you will bootloop with both ICS and Gingerbread roms.
yes
Yes i am certain i did but not sure which one, heads all over the place with this, anyway i will check and get back to you.
Thanks.
Grandelama i think? this is the one i used......DOWNLOAD 3.24 Revolutionary: http://goo.gl/82UpA
MD5: 74e67609f67c3ad6ab94cdb89f19f2fa
Is there a way to find out for sure for you?
Thanks
Do you still have on your pc the zip package you used? If that's the case you can find the md5 of your file and with that you can know which firmware package you installed.
Maybe it's a stupid question, but can you tell me which is exactly your CID? What is the output you get with "fastboot getvar cid"? Are 100% you sure you installed exactly the firmware package for your CID?
Grandelama, firstly thanks for your help, i have a hero that i have rooted and had at least a dozen different roms on from 1.6 thru to 2.3 never had a problem but its been a while and this xe is it seems more complicated, either that or my brains going (more likely) anyway the CID is HTC--001 and the MID is pg5813001.
I will look and see what i have and let you know.
The phone i take it is not yet bricked??? so i really dont want to do anything to screw that up(unless its too late?)
I ran restore and got back to normal, should have left it at that but didnt and cant understand why it wont work this time, i thought thats what it was for.
Anyway i will get back to you with what info i have and thanks again
no, not now 100 sure!

Hi,
i had the exact same problem and yesterday i solved it. I tried to flash the latest InsertCoin ICS ROM and failed to first install the new Firmware. When i realized this, i did it but forgot to check the CID, wich was not in the FW-zip.. so.. my phone just bootlooped, came to the splashscreen the rebooted. Your phone is not bricked.
This is what i did to solve it:
First i got Super-CID wich you can read about in this thread: [Guide] to Installing S-off, Unlocking, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on .. it took me about 30 sec to get Super-CID, its very easy if you just read the text.
Then i flashed the new Firmware (3.24.401.1 RUU) that you can find here [DEV] HTC Sensation & HTC Sensation XE firmware | Partitions Info | [22.01.2012]
After that i just flashed the ROM like before and voila, it worked.
Hope it helped some.

[Q] How to make a RUU from a Nandroid Backup ?

Hey Guys
So I unlocked my phone's bootloader last week, and installed The AxiomS ROM.
I was pretty excited given all the epic features. Anyway my excitement soon turned
to regret. My files are getting corrupt (Images, Videos, APK's, everything...) and
my battery life has been very lower than I had on my stock ROM. I thought I might
run into trouble with the Custom ROM so I made a Nandroid backup of my Stock
ROM. The problem is, apparently a stock ROM won't run unless the bootloader is
relocked. So I restored the backup through recovery, relocked the bootloader, but I
got stuck in a bootloop. Only way I can get a ROM on there after I relocked the boot
loader is to run a RUU from the PC (Correct me if I'm wrong :cyclops: ) I don't want
to download an external stock ROM, so my question is - Is it possible to build a RUU
from my Nandroid backup ?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanx guys ! P.S I'm still running AxiomS at the moment...
Will be trying out Team Venom's ViperOneS ROM soon.

It probably didn't restore the boot.img but you sure can run a stock rom with unlocked bootloader. Try to extract boot.img from backup, unlock bootloader again and flash boot.img through adb or just run the RUU of your stock rom.

Just backup and flash Venom following the directions in the thread precisely. BTW, my SD card was getting corrupted a lot too...stopped when I stopped mounting it as USB storage and using bluetooth and wifi to transfer files. Something with this phone doesn't unmount cleanly for some people.

I actually did do exactly that, as I know the boot image isn't installed with the ROM. Learned to do it when I installed Axiom...
Anyway, I still got stuck in a boot loop... But I'll Try it again. Any way to build a RUU ?

Thanx for the help with the Data... Will give it a Try ! I'm busy downloading The Venom ROM now.
But for some reason It's EXTREMELY slow. Like 10Kb/s... It's quite bad. I've tried with different service
providers (we use like three between our family). Any thoughts ?

I know its an old thread BUT
The OP didn't get an answer to his question and i would like to hear members thought on the subject anyway
Is it possible to make a RUU from any given ROM
Im just surprised that its not been developed on here before now
On my travels i found this
http://www.htcsensationforum.com/htc-sensation-rooting/how-to-extract-rom-zip-from-ruu/
Now if it possible to extract the rom from the ruu why not the reverse ?
You can turn Mustang into Pinto, but you can not turn Pinto into Mustang. Any downloaded rom have 3 files in it - Meta, System and boot.img. RUU have firmware( in addition ) and is in exe format. Just can not be done from back up rom. The easy way would be to download the RUU.
I know that it is "pain in the butt", but that way, you will get your phone back to "normal".

Dead right its a pain especially when HTC release the RUUs when and if they choose to...just how many members do you searching around for RUUs that have not been released...and were talking phones that are 8 months or in some instances older

[Q] HTC Boot Loop and no signal using recovery

Hello All,
I will start this thread with the obligatory "Im new to rooting...." sentence but over the last 2 or so weeks have been doing my research between multiple sites (including this one), getting frustrated at how many "How to...but before you do" guides there are out there adn you tube videos but have finally managed to perm root and S-Off my UK Vodafone HTC Sensation.
I have flashed clockwork recovery without a hitch and managed to download the Cynaogen Rom without to much difficulty.
The problem:
While looking for overclocking ROMs, decided that the Virtuous Sensation ROM might be the one for me.
While doing further research, I discovered that I would need to flash the new PG58IMG.zip Firmware before the ROM would work. To do this, I would potentially be required to SuperCID, which I also did.
SuperCID complete and Firmeware flashed (and then removed from the SD card) I wiped the phone (several times following instructions on this site) and then installed the Virtuous ROM.
Now I get stuck on boot loop with the blue "V" showing for a about a second and then restarting.
Following some further internet checking, I found it may be a bad download of the ROM so downloaded again but the same thing happened. I also downloaded a different Virtuous ROM to confirm it was the Virtuous Sensation ROM that was corrupt but the other ROM got stuck on boot loop, albeit, the blue "V" now shoed for about 5 seconds.
I decided to load a recovery and revert back to the Cynaogen ROM except......sometimes its stuck on boot loop and other times it loads but I have no network coverage.
I have two questions:
Why did the new Virtuous ROM not work with the recommended firmware?
and
How can I restore my phone? I am guessing this problem may be the new firmware but I have read that this one works with Gingerbread and ICS?
Any help would be appreciated...preferably in a non "PHD in IT required" way.
Thanks in advance if anyone can help.
mostly it might be because of Firmware
what firmware you installed (my guess is 3.24 as you said works for both ICS and GB )
but i suggest you to use 3.33 firmware for ICS or above roms and 1.17 For GB roms
here is the firmware thread
OK, just tried flashing the ICS firmware (thanks for reply) from the link you posted, wiped the phone, cache etc and reinstalled ROM.
I get stuck on boot loop but the blue "v" does load for a little longer now.
From doing some more reading I have seen people saying to check MD5 match. Would someone mind explaining what ths is and how to do it?
OK, ignore the MD5 thing, i searched and found and its a match for all downloads.
ROM is an MD5 match also.
Tried all firmware and still stuck on boot loop.....
One thing I have noticed is that when I load usig the vol down + power, it sates that the 58IMG is "no image or wrong image"....could this be anything to do with it?

That's generic bootloader function... So its common.. The searching for PG58IMG thing...
Now the best and most effective way is to first cleanup everything usig ruu.. Search for "ruu guide and info" thread by kgs1992 in sensation general section... Use that.. Find the proper ruu and flash it.. Check whether the stock rom(ruu) is flashing or not..If flashing then flash custom recovery and flash your custom rom again

Question
I have checked through a few forums and just want to clarify something before I go down the RUU route:
Will flashing the RUU to stock mean I lose S-Off or perm root? You say I will have to flash a custom recovery image again so I guess that means flashing clockworkmod through HBoot but will I then be expected to flash further firmware?
Thanks, Ill give the RUU thing a go.
I tried all the firmware with te Virtuous ROM and nothing worked but then one of the bottom firmware donloads (3.24 I think, cant remember know following multiple downloads) and booted the recovery.
Now I have signal again!
Thanks for advice, I will try the RUU thing....
Cheers

RUU means everything to stock except SOFF ..so you would lose custom recovery, perm root .but the best part is as you still have SOFF ..you can just flash a custom recovery again ..and flash su zip for perm root again ..done voila
and SOFF means ..yes you can flash any firmware
Thanks for all you help mate, in the end i found Cyanogen 10 ROM which does everything I want so followed all instructions and works fine now.
Thanks again for being patient with a nub......much appreciated!:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Q] Problem with booting roms htc amaze 4g

Hey Guys,
I have a rooted htc amaze 4g i rooted, s-on with Hasoon2000 tool. I currently have the clockworkmod recovery installed but have also installed team wins recovery and 4ext recovery in the past trying to figure out my problem but to no avail. Im currently running the newest version stock ruu for tmobile. I have been having the issue of getting my phone to boot my roms properly and cant figure out why. I have installed CM10 rom and The viper rom. for the amaze and both roms do the same thing. During flashing of the zip files in recovery everything seems to work fine with both roms and install properly. Once installed and i go to reboot the phone, it will get stuck on the boot screen of whichever rom I installed and never actually boots the phone fully. Im at a loss and have many hours trying to get the roms to boot but i can not figure out why both roms always get stuck on boot screen. The viper rom will flash my capacitative buttons on the bottom and vibrate periodically but still wont get past the boot screen, Sorry if i left out any information out or if im making a newbie mistake (which im hoping for). I have an understanding of things but im no expert by any means, just let me know if you need to know more.
Thanks!

so yeah that's a easy fix, your gonna want to take a file out of the Rom (CM10.zip) its going to be called Boot.img and your going to put on your SD card of the phone along with the ROM and the preferred gapps if you want one. your going to need to flash these in this order
Boot.img >CM10.zip >Gapps! if you were to get s-off you don't need to do this you can flash stuff normally.

Do I take the original rom that i extracted the files from, compress the boot img, then compress the remaining files back into the cm10.zip minus the boot and flash in order? Or do i just extract the boot img out of cm10.zip and compress it to zip and flash, then do the same flash with an unaltered version of cm10.zip in proper order?

No no no no your making it hard on yourself bro, zips are a little like folders but when you drag stuff out of it, it copys the file instead of moving it, not all flashes have to be .zip types like I said before go into the cm10.zip with winrar or 7zip and take out boot.img flash the boot.IMG and then the ROM followed by the gapps after, its a good question to ask, if I knew was much as I know about winrar before started flashing roms I would have asked the same thing

you can use any custom recovery with S-on you just need to take out the boot.img for every rom you want to flash, if you dont want to do this every time you need to get S-off, i think you can flash Sense Roms with s-on without the boot.img
(oh and sorry about not noticing that you have s-on in your first post, i was sort of skimming!)

I'm sorry I didn't realize that my post didn't post all the way. I did get teamvenom 1.7.2.3 installed properly once the faux kernel installed like it should during aroma installer and its runnin good. I do like it but would like to try a few more roms for sure before I decide. I did try and do exactly what you said with extractin the boot.img out of cm10 and flashing them seperately with the boot.img flashed 1st then cm10zip second and I am still having the same problem. The HTC screen pops up first then the cryanogenmod boot screen and it gets stuck there. I used to have the same problem the tv 1.7.2.1 andd I then got the updated 1.7.2.3 version which fixxed the faux kernel flashing issue and after that it installed properly. But I still get the same problem with cm10. Sorry if i'm a pest just want me a jellybean Rom! Lol

hmmm i do not know what todo at this point, i think you wanna take it to the official forms for the device, sorry mate.
Edit: maybe try a Sense rom first? also what version of CWM did you have before? only X.x.x is important to know.
