Returning phone

So I'm having issues with data dropping on my phone. I've decided its time to take it to the store. I'm rooted with a Rom on here. What do I need to do to check the counter or whatever it is and restore to stock so they don't know I rooted. Thanks

Odin back to stock.. Search the forum

I still have no clue how to check the flash counter

Unless you flashed custom software with ODIN your counter should be 0. However, search for triangle away.

Are you sure the data drops are phone related and not ROM related?

I had the issue before I flashed this Rom. I was hoping the Rom would fix it lol.
And I first rooted with Odin not sure if that changes the counter or not besides that I've used recovery to flash

What rom are you running? I had really bad data drops on CM10. I'd try one of the touch wiz roms if you already haven't and possibly try a new modem. Modems are better for different people so there's not really one "best" modem for anyone.

Enter download mode. Power off hold vol down home and power, press vol up when its ask you to continue. Read the small text
Your rom may also have a reboot option to reboot into download mode

[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.

[Q] Roaming help for CM 10.1 Flash PLEASE!!

I flashed CM 10.1 and got some errors about network connectivity, so decided to just go back to my backup of a rooted stock image. Afterwards i still see that i dont have network connectivity, and i am now roaming. I Saw some guides saying to flash back to a stock image. But can i do that with an OTA JB version already? and ive read about just "reprovision my phone", will it work even with the rooted stock image?
Thanks
and my IMEI is still in tact

Have you checked your subscription type on what ever ROM you are on. Also the best method is to Odin root66 and disk the repro vision code

I am on the stock OTA JB from verizon at the moment, and ive tried to do the root 66 and the one i downloaded from doesnt have the .tar.md5 file in it: its was from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762204
and im not exactly sure by what you mean subscription type, and can i just do the reprovision code if im just OTA JB with just root?

Under mobile settings there is an option for CDMA subscription type it must be rui/sim, nit sure if it's on stock though.
Also the repro vision code doesn't work on jb that's why you must go back to root66

After you download the one you linked to me you have to extract the .tar. I assume you know how to do this, but just in case right click the zip and extract all

Yes, stay away from CM 10.1. I lost my MEID from doing it which means the phone wasn't able to make or receive calls.

You can lose that no matter what you flash. That's why all ROMs say to back it up before flashing.

Hello flashers anonymous!
Long story short......I flashed an updated kernal for the version I had. It bricked my phone. I odined it back to life. My phone automatically updated itself to 4.1.2, the rom I was running is based on 4.1.1, can someone send me a link for the .tar file I can use with odin to restore my phone back to 4.1.1? I tried to search for it, but I wasent sure which one is the most current version. Thanks everyone.

Follow the "recover from soft brick" directions. There is a 4.1.1 download link on hotfile. Worst case scenario you reflash everything through odin, and lose you root/unlocked bootloader. But that is easy to get back. Something to note is that goo.im is having problems with their servers, so you may have to google the file names on the threads....

Camera fail fix

How do I tell which bootloader I have? Recently I flashed CleanROM 7 from CleanROM 6.0 R2. After finding some glitches I decided to flash back.
Upon going back, now my camera says "Camera Fail" when I try to open it.
I've searched and tried all the recommendations. One that I found suggests trying a previous bootloader.
How would I go about this?

For education purposes, the bootloader is not your problem. There's only two bootloaders to have, unlocked and locked. You need an unlocked bootloader to use custom roms on this device. You want a locked bootloader when you are using a Verizon official, bloated stock rom.
What you want is the modem firmware or just plain "firmware." You can flash in recovery the VRBMB1 firmware zip and see if this helps you. Visually, you'll see a change in Settings/About Phone/Baseband.

I thought that sounded strange. I'll try going back to the previous modem and RPM package and if that helps. Thanks

Yea, Samsung implemented some change in the kernel for VRBMF1 that automatically checks for the trust zone or something to that effect. The trust zone is included with the VRBMF1 firmware so downgrading to a VRBMB1 rom will cause the camera to fail instantly. Basically, Mastamoon and Invisiblek figured out what the issue was and boom, happy community. There are some people who still have issues after this but one less person helps out.
