Are there any stock (full reset images) images such as the sbf files for the previous photon that i can flash in something like rsd lite or any other program?
Sent from my XT897 using xda premium
basically this is what we have:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33942232&postcount=12
read the full thread for details, but there was a problem with the system image portion, so Fallen Saint modified it so it would at least flash everything else. if you're unlocked you can flash the factory system separately.
i can't remember where but someone wrote recently that they would post a full file soon.
So no full file yet?

But still no full flash file that replaces everything? Like the sbf for the original photon...

unfortunately not, i don't thnk. here is where that person mentioned it:

i have flashed the file that i linked above, and it seemed to work, reverted all the firmware to factory, except system... so we kind of almost have it. i suppose that doesn't help tho if you are not unlocked and are on the most recent software.
unofrtunately Motorola hasn't released a factory image: https://forums.motorola.com/posts/da76e63e1f.
Thanks... doesn't matter now as i dropped my phone 3 feet onto tile and now vibration, light sensor, tilt (acellerometer etc broke)

Hello xda.
I bought a D2G from eBay that came with MIUI, I wanted a stock android so I downloaded a supposedly stock ROM and flashed it with CWM included in MIUI.
It bricked my phone but I can still get to stock recovery, I've read a bit but I'm still confused of how to unbrick it. I watched a Youtube vid that was a guide to do that, however some people say that one of the files is corrupted.
I already have RSD Lite and the drivers, what do I have to do next, please help me.
Thank you very much.
EDIT: Is very probable that the ROM I flashed wasn't the correct one because it was about 100Mb in size.
EDIT2: If it helps in any way, if I turn on the phone it shows the MIUI logo and then goes blank (well grey).
try wiping data in stock recovery
edit: what was the file name and how did you flash it, clockwork or bootloader mode
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Thank you for your response I'll try that now, by the way, can I charge battery in stock recovery? because I don't know how much do I have left.
EDIT: The file is in the other computer, I'm downloading right now another called DROID2WE_X6_2.4.29_FULL.sbf.zip, I entered MIUI recovery then with that I entered CWM and flashed it. Another question, how do I wipe the data? thanks again
not likely, but if white charging light, next to usb port comes on you should be good

you need 4.5.608 sbf if you want newest software, that can be rooted http://www.droidknows.com/showthread.php/364-Gingerbread-Full-SBF-4-5-608
don't use 2.3.4/4.5.629 unless all else fails because there is no going back

Yes, you're right. Wiping didn't work. I'll download 4.5.608 then. Just if you're curious Cirno is a character from a game known for being stupid.

Well, I didn't bother making a proper logo so I took the one I use at hisouten.koumakan.jp, another wiki.
Thank you, I now have stock android installed. When I saw battery life after flashing... 90%.
are you on verizon?
if so your phone will, try to update, to 4.5.629, which is fine if you are not interested in rooting, but you can not go back
if you do not want to update you need to root with Pete's root tools, and rename motoblurupdater
if you want to know more just ask, or check out the link in my sig

It doesn't matter if you're on VZW or not, stock firmware checks for updates and tries to install them via WiFi/mobile data regardless of your carrier choice.
The files in question to be renamed are
/system/app/BlurUpdater_VZW.apk
/system/app/BlurUpdater_VZW.odex
I had wondered if the wiki was your work, G.Y.
Thanks for compiling that, it's helped me many times.
I think I may have finally done it. I flashed the latest slim rom (vers 6) today, booted into the ROM and set it up. No problems. Then I flashed faux mainline kernel. I followed the instructions for the kernel install, and hit reboot as last step. The phone shut off and did not reboot. I am now unable to turn on, boot into recovery, or download mode. When I attempt to connect to the PC to try and ODIN back to stock, the phone will not connect to the PC. I have the latest Samsung drivers installed and have connected to my PC previously with no problems. I know I downloaded and installed the right version for my phone, I have flashed kernels many times before.
Am I screwed now? I have insurance on the phone, but really would like to get the phone back from the grave if at all possible. Any help offered would be greatly appreciated.
Never heard of the kernel ... Got a link to it???

Going through the history of my browser, it looks like I did a bone head and flashed a Nexus 4 kernel to my VZ GS3. Am I screwed?
Possibly ... Your kernel tells your phone what to do and how to do it ... If you can't get Odin to connect there's a big issues but I've never flashed a wrong kernel so research around a bit for more info ... You can't get into download mode or recovery mode??

Hello everyone. So today I tried to root my phone for the first time and all was fine. I could download and use apps that required root access. Then I tried to flash CM 10.1.3, and that's where things got messy. After I flashed, it was saying that unauthorized software was on my phone, and I had to go to verizon. I figured this was because my bootloader unlock didn't work. So I tried flashing a stock 4.1.2 rom, and now my phone's just powercycling. Any ideas? Yes, I am new to this, feel free to yell at me for being an idiot for forgetting some obvious thing.
I think you need to Odin back to a stock build and then repeat the entire process of rooting, unlocking, etc.
I could also be wrong, so we'll get yelled at together.

You'e right lol
@Elerock, does powercycling = stuck at the Verizon LTE splash screen or boot animation? If so, boot into recovery (hold power, home, and volume up) then do a factory reset. Root and unlock following these directions.
Does anyone have Boost ics stock rom? My bootloader is unlocked and I have cwm but s-on. I don't have a way to get on a pc. Can I install through recovery with a nandroid or a .zip with s-on?
Sorry I didn't mean to post this in this thread. I'm not sure how to move it..
A moderator has to move it upon request. Yes, one is available on here, but you are S-On so you may have to pull the boot file from the backup, change name to boot.img then flash it using fastboot (which requires a pc)
However, I haven't been S-On in a long time so I could be wrong about the boot.img...
@russellvone could you elaborate for me.

Thanks for the quick reply! I know flashing probably wouldn't work and I already tried to use a jb nandroid from my brothers phone which didn't work which is why I was wondering if a stock ics unrooted would work
I'm not real sure what happened. All I did was do factory reset in cwm and now its stuck on the HTC quietly brilliant
Haha, that's simple, when you did a factory reset in CWM you formatted your partitions. Your boot.img is still intact but you have nothing on your data, system, etc so there is nothing to load which is why you are not getting past the screen. Only do a factory reset in a custom recovery when like flashing a Rom for example. Which version OS were you on originally before you wiped your phone out ....

I don't have an ICS backup, but I know @russellvone does. He keeps stuff like this on hand for just a situation like this one. However, you should only need to flash the system.img and be good after that. I recommend doing an OTA update in your settings once you get your device back up and going. We will be receiving 4.2.2 with Sense 5 soon.
Anyways, I tagged him as you can see. Just visit back here periodically to see if he replied back. He will, I guarantee you that. He will help you restore your device
Sent from my C525c using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Okay, thanks for the help! Much appreciated!!! Would I have to flash the system.img with fastboot or would it be in a nandroid?
You will use your custom recovery. He will explain the steps. .

You can use a JB backup but you will need the firmware.zip that comes in the JB OTA to flash in rebootRUU to complete the process on your device.
I sent a pm to russellvone about the situation so when he responds he should already be good to go to help you out.

Lol this stuff is so confusing. I'm still a noob on this phone haha. I wish there was something like mobile odin for HTC devices
Also, go S-Off so next time if something goes wrong like this you won't need a PC (unless it is something serious lol).

Yeah I've been checking this off and on. You guys are life savers!! Thanks alot!
Your boot.img is still intact so flashing that Rom should get you booted up just fine. If for any reason you get stuck on the HTC screen then you will need to extract the boot.img and flash it with fastboot (however that shouldn't be necessary since you are still on stock boot.img for ICS)

You still can do with the thread instruction to root, what is important is what comes after.
Make sure you flash latest recovery for your devices after rooting, and then you'll happy to use any rom you like!
Thanks, u guys, however, I have another issue..after this update, I am unable to get to my developers option in settings, it keeps force closing...do u all happen to know work around for this?
