[Q] CM7 to Stock 2.3.4

Hey,
I'm new to Android, and still pretty bad with it, so when I set out to flash a custom rom last week, I never bothered to setup a backup. I didn't think it was going to be as complicated to get back to the way it was when I took it out of the box. I guess I'm still use to the iPhone. Now, I'm not completely happy with my phone and am looking to go back to stock.
I've looked in to it, and it seems easy enough, but I just have a couple of questions:
Pre-CM7 I'm pretty sure my phone was GRI54, and i9020, It's now GRI40. Does this make any difference?
And, finally, where can I download an official version of this?
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks.

I've downloaded the i9020a one, but when I'm trying to update it it's saying "Installation aborted". I tried doing it from clockwork mod - and I don't know anything about it. Do you know where I'm going wrong here?

I haven't been able to find anything for this. The closest I found was someone saying 'use this one instead', but that got me stuck at the Google screen.

Sorry, maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I've tried using that zip a few times (286d814dee5b.signed-sojua-GRJ22-from-GRI54.286d814d.zip 12mb) and it says install failed.
I boot into recovery, factory reset, wipe cache, install zip from sd card, pick the file, agree.

Have you checked the MD5 hash to ensure the download isn't corrupt?

yes, the default for all stock 2.3.4 roms will restore the recover back to stock on each reboots you have to rename/delete the install-recover.sh script to prevent it from happening

Sorry? I have to delete the files to keep clockwork from being removed?
All I did was flash it, restart, and clockwork was still there.
Also, my phone's internet speeds seem really slow now. Could this be from now having a different build? (GRI54 -> GRJ22)
Sorry for my complete lack of knowledge. It's quite obvious I jumped into something that's much over my head.

A stock rom has the script. So flashing it will also restore stock recovery. If the rom you installed does not restore the recovery partition, the the rom was not completely stock.

I've never used it myself.
Looking over the zip file, the script has been renamed, so it's not 100% stock.
Normally you would need to root the phone to change the file name.
Perhaps renaming the file in the zip will correct the issue?
try renaming /etc/install-recovery.sh.bak to /etc/install-recovery.sh and re-apply the zip. ( no need to wipe )
That rom was posted by dsixda, he may be able to confirm what needs to be done.
If you had root, it would be fairly easy to rename it.

This doesn't seem to work. It does gets you back to stock rom but I still have the old modem I flashed, old APN, CWM Recovery and still there and factory reset doesn't works. Just hangs with the little Android guy and an exclamation mark.
Is there something like ODIN for Nexus S to go back to stock?

This should work:
http://android.grdlock.net/index.ph... S&PHPSESSID=9dc0c107b878587d1e0b21ec1e3130ef
This should bring you to stock 2.3.3 for the i9020a
Then apply the official patch:
http://android.clients.google.com/p...5b.signed-sojua-GRJ22-from-GRI54.286d814d.zip
This will then bring everything to stock 2.3.4 with proper baseband and recovery

[Q] recovery v5.0.0.8 for the Sensation link not working

Hi there,
I am working through the Guide to Unlocking your Sensation and the link to recovery v5.0.0.8 for the Sensation is not working.
Is there another place I can download the file?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lizzie.
Edit:
Looks like someone updated the MultiUpload Link. Thanks guys!

You may download it from here: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/ Just search for ....pyramid.img and flash from fastboot.
But I suggest you to get the latest v 5.0.2.0. Works fine in every aspect.

Make sure you are connected to the internet via mobile or wifi. Then go to Rom manager. Open the app and press Flash ClockworkMod recovery and the bottom should list your old one and the phone will flash the new one automagically

now if i try unlock bootloader with htc dev method
fastboot oem get_identifier_token ---> [ERR] command errror !!!
Edit : WrongForum ....

may i ask how to flash the .img file?

I'm using the guide to S-OFF etc...
It states to use recovery v5.0.0.8.
A file called PG58IMG, I cant find this, I've S-OFF'd and I'm looking to update and then use recovery.
What's the best file? Does it need to be the Zip file?

I have uploaded CWM 5.0.2.0 here: http://www.axifile.com/en/EC384AC809
MD5: 85b5f10c9afe33fb50396bd5f54bc7de
I just flashed it on my phone and it seemed to work fine, I was on 5.0.2.0 and still am ;-)
I uploaded and downloaded it and it's the same MD5 as the one on my phone that worked.
Just rename to PG58IMG.zip boot up from scratch (Power and Vol -), vol + to flash. When it wants to reboot after flashing pop the SD-card out and rename it after booting.

I came across this, it might be abit outdated but I'm guessing it'll work fine.

I guess by checking System settings etc I can see if it's worked.

If you're changing ROMs did you Superwipe before flashing?
If you Superwipe all data/apps on the phone will be zapped, the SD card should remain intact.

Erm, I've only gone from stock to ARHD 4.1.13 so far...
All I did was S-OFF, CWM Recovery and flash the ROM on.
I haven't done anything else yet.
All my apps and data on my SD card are fine atm.
I do want to flash an ICS ROM onto my phone, I'll be following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767

Yes, that was my exact feeling. I mean if you get a brand new £250 phone, then your not going to mess around with it, are you? No. You are going to try and get the prefect amount of information and clarity so you know you won't mess up.

In the ARHD (mike's) thread there is a SuperWipe script in the downloads. Use that when changing between ROM flavours, or if recommended by the dev when changing versions. E.g., VI from 2.0.0 -> 3.0.0 required a SuperWipe.
MAKE sure you take regular Nandroid backups before/after you changing anything.

That's precisely it, I've had my Sensation for a while now and want to get the full user-experience from it. I know it is irritating for you guys to have to answer the same Q&A's over and over again, I did try reading everything but with so many answers and so many flavours it's a bit overwhelming.
I might write a guide from a noobs perspective (for noobs) on what to do...

Oh right ok, well I've been advised to change my recovery to EXT4, which I'll do tomorrow. Nandroid backups, is that when I go into HBOOT and choose Recovery? That's a good idea. So when I do go to update my ROM to ARHD 6.xxx for ICS I'll use Superwipe to clear out my app etc... So by using recovery I'll keep my app data/saves etc?

Root fail
I do evrything but when i get to bootloader he starts to read fails from sd card and then says phrasing****** and then nothing. How to root

How to upgrade to new latest Asus firmware through custom recovery

Check the device firmware type by going to Setting - about tablet - built number
Download the right firmware pack for your device.
http://www.asus.com/Tablet/Transformer_Pad/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_Infinity_TF700T/#download
Now extract the zip file and you will have another zip file.
Rename that zip file as "EP201_768_SDUPDATE" and place it to an external sd card if you do not have a custom recovery. If you are rooted and unlocked plus you have a custom recovery you don't need to rename it you can place it in internal sd is well.
Now turn off your device. Hold power button including the volume down button and enter custom recovery. For stock recovery it should detect it automatically and will install. once in custom recovery clear your cache and install the file with the name above or whatever name you have. once installation is complete. reboot the system be patient and you have the latest update.
You can obtain root easily using this method.
Just download the DebugfsRoot_Generic_v2.3.zip file from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1706588
extract the content and run RootDebugfs, then follow the on screen instruction and you will have root.
Make sure you have USB debugging on.
To get custom recovery. Download goomanager from playstore and you can install TWRP recovery from the option list. which is Option - install OpenRecoveryScript.
I am not responsible if you mess up your device. do these at your own risk. Nonetheless these steps work perfectly for me.

Renaming is not needed.

You don't need to have stock rom. As long as you have the stock kernel your ok. You will of course lose custom recovery but its easy to download again as i have mentioned in my first post.
There is a lengthy way to do this. But why do that when it takes you literally 2 minute to root it with DebugfsRoot .
Hope it went well for you.

Its easy, it requires ADB drivers instaled in PC and ADB commands to execute.
So, in TWRP you make a full WIPE, format data also.
Then you reboot recovery and over advanced you activate adb sideload.
Then connect phone to PC and send the zip file with command:
adb sideload name_of_the_rom.zip
Then just wait ADB send file to phone and then Recovery start flash of ROM .

With TWRP it works, i tested, other Recovery i dont know if they have sideload option.
Relative to OTA yes, with stock recovery you can have OTA. But i dont have stock recovery from this one since dump dont contain firmware.zip
Dont know if firmware.zip from 2.24.709.1 it will do the trick, but sincerelly i dont wait from OTA updates, its a loss of time

Thats correct, i did not know Mike already put the firmware zip, thanks for tell me in
Another thing, you must unlock bootloader to flash TWRP.
If needed you can have S-OFF and flash latest RUU x.xx.401.x and you are good to GO.
Cheers

Would this work with T-Mobile/AT&T versions?
Also sideloading doesn't touch the "sdcard" content right. We would just need to do a factory reset.

Correct, it work all models EXCEPT SPRINT.
Sideload dont touch anything over sdcard but if you are in 4.1.2 base a wipe data / factory reset and a format sdcard its advised....

so is the second zip file really full stock?
can i ask for a favor can someone provide the data stock apps like flashlight, calculator and the rest in separate zipfile?
i wiped and lost them

I'm a super-noob at this

Hi, I'm new to this forum and I hope I'm posting this in the right section of the forum, apologize if not.
I'm just a super-noob at this overall cell-phone terminology for Rooting, ROMs and etc.
I want to root my phone and input the new Android Jelly Bean on it (I hope that's possible)
I have no idea where to start. When I search online I found some older threads on how to but I'm not sure if it's still viable.
I'll post my phone info and see where this will go.
HTC Sensation z710e
Android version 2.3.4
Software # 1.45.401.3
When I press "power" + "vol down" I see
-Revolutionary-
Pyramid PVT ship S-OFF RL
HBOOT 1.17.1111
Any help, hopefully step by step help will be most appreciated. Thank you for your patience and if you require more info let me know

firstly your device is already on S-OFF which makes things a lot easier
flash 3.33 universal from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
follow the instuctions to the letter
and before flashing check md5 sums(important)
after that flash the new rom from recovery

Great to know my phone's already S-OFF'd
Does that mean I'm rooted or not yet?
How do I check md5 sums?

Thanks for your help and patience

probably you aren't rooted
but consider this
every custom rom comes prerooted
so there is no point to root your current one
about md5 sums:
put the zip in your sdcard
navigate with any file manager you have to that zip
tap and hold on it until it pops up a menu
go to properties
somewhere it will say show checksum or calculate checksum
it will show you a row of letters and numbers
then compare it with the one from the download link and see if it matches
note: once you flash the 3.33 universal(ics firmware) your current rom won't boot because it is a gb one
so you have to flash the new rom after upgrading your firmware
and don't forget to backup your current rom just in case
by the way do you have sdk tools installed in your pc?(adb and fastboot files)

Google md5 generator for Windows. Use the first link that you find.
If you have 4ext recovery, you can check md5 there itself.
Happy to help.

Okay, I checked with an MD5 program suggested, and it codes match. Great!
How do I backup my current ROM? I've heard of Clockwork and 4Ext but doesn't it require a Root?
I plan to use to ROM. How do I flash a new ROM?

No I don't have SDK tools installed, I have no idea what that is.
Also how do I backup my current ROM?

use only the one click root tool to root your current rom
then use the 4ext updater app to download and install 4ext recovery
link in my signature
then follow with the 3.33

from recovery see my last post
since you don't have sdk tools installed start with the one click root tool

Okay so I downloaded the one click tool. I followed the steps, but when I double-click the "root" bat file. the command program pops up but it says repeatedly " 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"
any idea?

i gave an answer in the other thread
check it and lets continue here

Doesn't look like the drivers links work anymore. they got removed. Do i just download htc sync from the main htc website? does that work?
edit: do the older ones work?
edit: I downloaded HTC sync manager...still doesn't work. Can't even get my phone to sync. I'm starting to lose hope doing this

try this one
http://www.mediafire.com/download/8dl8s3l9mr6ggr9/HTCDriver_4.1.0.001.exe
if it fails then you have to install sdk tools

Hey rzr86, I've been away for more than a week so I wasn't able to work on the phone.
Funny thing I found out about my phone, it seems it was already rooted. Good thing because less of a hassle for me now.
So I need to download a ROM backup program, which one do you recommend? I don't seem to have one installed

since you are rooted install 4ext updater app
from that app download and install 4ext recovery touch
link in my signature
then boot to the recovery
go to backup/restore->backup
then you can backup your current rom
after that format all partitions except sdcard from 4ext
flash the new rom
done

I got 4EXT recovery on my phone but when I went into to bootloader (power + vol down) OMG I ****ed something up...I forgot I had the firmware 3.33 zip file on my SD card and I updated so now I have firmware 3.33 and I can't boot my phone.
Can't believe I ****ed this up...any idea how to go back?
Edit: Can I use 4EXT to access my sd card and delete the PG58IMG zip from my sd card, then put in the firmware 1.17 zip and flash that?

Eject sd card let the phone boot up than insert the sd and delete the zip, or use sd card adapter to pc and delete the zip

I can't boot up my phone because I accidentally flashed 3.33 when I'm still using gingerbread.
