Hi, I'm new to all of this. Yesterday I spent a good 9-10 hours messing with my phone, rooting, flashing CM10 with CWM, realizing data doesn't work on it, and trying to revert back.
I finally managed to revert back to stock this afternoon via (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762204), but the stock provided in the OP left me on a startup loop. So I used (http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SCH-I535) in the comments, which worked. I am running SCH-I535, so that's all well and good, but after flashing with Odin, I got an error that I was apparently "roaming". Not sure if this is common when reverting to stock or not, but I'm not sure if it's a big deal either, since I was looking to switch to AOKP instead. BUT, I can't root now. I'm using "Root Debug FS" to root, which worked for me each time before. Now I'm getting the following messages:

Well i too jumped the gun, After installing CM 10.1 build 18 i think it was, my phone has been with no service even with stock OS. I'm super noob at this stuff, and there are so many threads leading me in circles. i'm almost considering buying a new phone....
In betting both of you need to go back to a stock ICS and use the reprovision code in the dialer. You can Google that code. Before doing that check to make sure you have a imie.
To the OP you flashed the latest JB correct, you never said which one you used. If that's the case the root method you're trying will not work. Under development there us a thread for rooting the Jb update.
. LISTEN TO THE POSTER AFTER ME. I THINK HE HAS MORE EXPERIENCE WITH THE CM10.1 THEN I DO AND I MAY BE GIVING YOU EXTRA WORK!
If I helped you in some way.... pass on the favor and help the next person!

I do seem to have an IMEI. And yes, I flashed the latest build, sorry for lack of clarity. I'll go ahead and look up a stock ICS, though I'm not sure what a reprovision code is, could you explain?

Ah, sorry, thought you might just be replying to the other guy. I can't seem to access the "mobile networks" settings, as it's grayed out. Am I looking in the wrong area? Settings > More settings > Mobile networks
EDIT: I downgraded from JB to ICS in hopes that that would restore data working on my phone. Nothing. I'm going to hold off on bothering with AOKP, because if it's not working on stock, I doubt it'll work on a custom ROM.
I still can't figure out how to change cdma subscription to ruim/sim. "Mobile networks" is no longer grayed out, but I don't see an option for cdma subscription or anything similar.
Any help? Other suggestions?
You most likely lost you imei/min or something, you can check in settings>about phone>status. Easy way to correct it is to flash a older stock ICS image and use the reprovision code. Flash this in odin then type this in the dialer *2767*3855# and that should fix ya back up. Flashing anything carries a risk of dropping your imei but it happens much more on AOSP roms.

Hmm, that stuck me on a boot loop. I'll try to find another stock ICS. When I dialed that under JB, it sent me to a Verizon line, was that supposed to happen? Is there anything I'm supposed to do from there?
Nevermind! Tried the code under ICS and it worked! Thank you so much to everyone for your help. You're fantastic!

Ya it wont work on JB, it only works on early versions of ICS. They removed it due to a exploit where someone can trigger that code and wipe your phone and crap.

I have searched google far and wide, found a few cases of similar issues but haven't found a solution yet. Got my T-mobile g2 /DZ about 2 months ago, love the hardware and the form factor, but I cannot stand stock froyo. First of all:
Phone build/firmware (?) number is: 1.22.531.8
Release keys: cl277427
I initially tried rooting the phone with visionary r14, which gave me a temp root, then rebooted when I tried perm-root. Ever since then, the program hangs when trying to even temp root (I have tried visionary r11,12,13, and 14, as well as uninstalling and reinstalling countless times [not to mention downloading from different sources]).
After a bit of searching, decided to try rage method - again it didnt work (terminal emulator > /data/local/tmp/rage - permission denied) no matter how many times I tried it.
Tried rage method with gfree (both .02 and .04), which is where I had the most success. I managed to get s-off, but still no superuser access. The problem occurs when I enter the code /data/local/tmp/root
described in this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...Subsidy_Unlock.2C_SuperCID.2C_and_Radio_S-OFF where it tells you how to 'lock in' the root.
After entering the '/data/local/tmp/root' code, I get an error message that reads something like:
mkdir failed for /system/xbin/, File exists
cp: can't stat `/system/xbin/busybox': Not a directory
Unable to chmod /system/xbin/busybox: Not a directory
/data/local/tmp/root: /system/xbin/busybox: not found
cp: not found
cp: not found
Unable to chmod /system/bin/su: No such file or directory
I have checked, double-checked, and triple-checked that I have pushed busybox etc correctly, and they definitely write to the folder as I am not getting any error messages in CMD.
I would greatly appreciate anyone who can give me a straight answer as to what to look for (somebody said you can't have a file/folder on SD card called 'su' so I have checked that). This is driving me crazy - I bought the G2 thinking froyo would be so much better than Symbian/Motoblur, but I am really disappointed. Even Launcherpro etc are pretty lame compared to some of the custom roms out there.
Please help me!
Alternatively, seeing as I have s-off, any way to flash a rom without superuser? Sorry for the noob question
s-off and gfree ? i don't have g2 version, only desire z. but you can always flash clockwork recovery from adb fastboot. using that, you can switch to other ROM or backup the current one...

Can you give me a bit more detail? About to try and flash a pre-rooted modaco rom. Will probably have to wipe the phone so if it doesnt work I will try gfree again on the wiped phone

Still needing help on this
Hi,
i was trying to change the /system permissions using adb shell... commands shown in the attached screenshot
my main purpose was to install CWM for which we need to push modified recovery into /system/bin which requires rw permissions....
to do that i used the command chmod 6 /system from root and then tried to mv recovery file from sd root to /system/bin but that failed
when i checked the /system attributes using stat -c %A /system it returned "d------rw-"
after that i tried to mount the system from shell command but failed... then the phone got hanged and when i removed the USB cable it rebooted straight into recovery...
since the ive tried to check directory listing with adb ls /system command but it returns nothing... adb ls /data also shows only 3 files... i had taken a backup of /system using adb pull but i dont knw how much that'll help...
i did not take any backups before that... was trying to install CWM so that i could take rom backup....
im not able to boot the phone normally...
i would like to know if i can go back to original state?? if not is ther any other solution like flashing a new ROM or something...??
i would like to extract contacts nd messages if possible...
System config:
- Samsung Galaxy S 4G... everything stock
- Rooted!!
thanks in advance...

'chmod 6 /system' did what you asked it to do. chmod, on a basic level, uses three (3) sets of permissions: global, group, and user. What you effectively did was set the user permissions to rw but blanked out everything else (like chmod 006).
If you can get into the shell, do this:
chmod 755 /system
That should put it back the way it was (7 = rwx for global, 5=rx for group, 5=rx for user)
See if that helps. Report back and let me know.
Real quick; I had my permissions backward. Although you still want 755 it should've read like this:
rwx for user
rx for group
rx for global
I had them backward.
Thanks stephen_w for ur reply...
I cant get into shell when i enter adb shell it throws this message
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: Permission denied (13)
any idea??

I was worried about something like that. My guess is that your best bet is to see if you can get into download mode and flash a new ROM. Were you on Froyo or GB before? If you were on Froyo & you're trying to get to GB you'll need to insure you flash a ROM with the right boot loaders first, like chadster's KG4 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183413).
Let me know if I can be of help.
I was worried that I would have to flash a new ROM. Not that i mind doing it but ive not backed up anything!! I'd atleast like to see my contacts somewhere... let me know if that's possible...
So there's no other way to come out of this deadlock??
Im on Froyo... If its possible to roll back to stock Froyo it'll be great... If not i'll go for GB... Ive nothing against GB but i'd like to be sure everything works the way it was b4...
Its great to know you have and understanding of my problem... thanks mate...

If your contacts were set to sync with Google or your carrier, then they will sync back to your phone after you flash. Given you were on Froyo, you can grab one of the Froyo ROMs from the bible (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117554). Those will likely be rooted, deodexed, or something along those lines. If you want pure stock, you can grab that from samfirmware.com. You'll have to register to navigate to the firmware, though. I'd post a link but it wouldn't work right. Just go to the 'mobile' link and look for the SGH-T959V stuff. Either way, KD1 was the latest Froyo out there from Samsung.
Yup... I'll check on samfirmware.com..
sad abt contacts cuz dint sync the latest ones with google...
anyway i'll try the other method...
thanks..
Sorry man. Best of luck to you. Let me know if you get it fixed.
hi stephen_w,
I downloaded the T959VUVKD1 firmware from samfirmware.com....
I used odin to flash it...
after switchin on the phone in download mode... i flashed the firmware by browsing the file in PDA and leaving PIT, BOOTLOADER, Phone and CSC blank...
the process started and after cache.fs... below it was message:Complete(Write) operation failed.... it stopped nd showed fail in red...
i held the power key for a long time but then it started to show a phone linked to the computer with a yellow exclamation sign...
what does this mean?? im not able to boot into either recovery or download mode now...
please help...
ODIN will still see it when it looks that way, so don't fret! I had similar issues before but mine was a faulty download. Try using this one. It's not 100% stock as it's been deodexed, but it should work:
http://www.multiupload.com/7L5YDG8X8V
Ya im downloading tat one... Odin is detecting nd working... so i guess re-flashing should do the trick...
Jus to confirm I should leave fields other than PDA blank rite?
Yes, PDA only & let ODIN decide what should be checked.

What update are you trying to install? OTA updates usually require a stock system, so if you've modded your system then you'll probably need to FXZ a clean setup. *Note - ICS has no offical FXZ and should use the appropriate resources according to the version you have.
If you post more info about what you have and what you're trying to achieve then I'm sure we'll be able to help you along.
I'm trying to flash the official AT&T ICS that released yesterday.
I was originally rooted with bootstrap on 2.3.6 with the Lithium Rom.
I unrooted the phone, flashed 2.3.6 with RSDLite to get a clean phone. This is when I tried the OTA which gives me that error.
I have tried multiple scripts here. I've used RSDLite and also the fastboot scripts to return to 2.3.5/2.3.6 from ICS(or GB) countless times.
I've never had this much trouble before.
has anyone had this issue? i can't even find anything about this on google.
well if this helps anyone at all.
I am flashing above 50% battery.
after RSDLite to 2.3.6 I still get this error, but it shows 2.3.6 just fine when I start up again.
When I do the update for ICS it does everything just fine all the way up until "updating STE BP"
this is where it gets held up and throws the error.
updating STE BP ..
assert failed: motorola.steflash("/tmp/steflash")
E:error in /cache/Blur_Version.55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US.zip
(Status 7)
Installation Aborted
I have tried the method of downloading it straight from OTA and also from copying the file from their website to my SD Card and installing this way.
Both methods result in the problem.
the exact method I have been doing is this.
I was originally on 2.3.6 rooted bootstrap on Lithium rom
I did the clean up method for bootstrap and then ran the unroot script.
Then used RSDLite to flash to 2.3.5 (tried straight to 2.3.6 as well)
when it reboots it still throws the error even for 2.3.5/6 steflash
I then do the OTA for ICS over WiFi which again throws the error.
I would extremely appreciate any possible help you guys could give.

While I'd like to tell you that you searching on Google was the right approach, you have come up short because these things have been addressed countless times here on xda. So, anyone else reading this, please include "xda" in your Google searches. That will point you back here, whereas otherwise searching xda FROM xda yields less than satisfactory results at times.
You were on 2.3.6 and wanted to update to ICS, but you had the Atrix 2 Bootstrap app and likely CWM Recovery as well. That said, and if so, you have some file finding and deleting to do:
You will need to delete all the files associated with CWM and the Atrix 2 Bootstrap (if ever installed) via Root Explorer or ADB:
Removing Atrix 2 Bootstrap:
Delete file /system/bin/logwrapper
Delete file /system/bin/hijack
Rename file /system/bin/logwrapper.bin to /system/bin/logwrapper
Delete directory /preinstall/recovery (Note: This directory might not exist)
Since you also installed the recovery on boot you need to restore the following:
Removing Bootstrap Recovery on Boot:
Delete file /system/bin/mot_boot_mode
Rename file /system/bin/mot_boot_mode.bin to /system/bin/mot_boot_mode

Quick question before doing all that again.
Since I did the RSD flash, shouldn't it have made it stock and not require those steps?

No, it doesn't work that way. Post number 8 details how to solve this issue. Simply flashing back to stock doesn't remove the files, and therefore they must be removed manually.

assert failed :motorola.steflash("/tmp/steflash")
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Should I have an unlocked boot-loader or something?

The bootloader is locked up tighter than a 16th Century King's daughter's chastity belt, so don't worry about that being an issue. Are you using Root Explorer to delete and rename the appropriate files? Also, you say you've already tried to use the above steps, then used the FXZ back to stock 2.3.6 and you still can't get the Moto Server update, correct?

Yea, I used root explorer to rename and delete files..and yea, even after these and fxz back to stock 2.3.6 I still cant get the update to work. Also, weird thing is it shows no IMEI, no baseband and is always stuck in Airplane mode.

Were you able to verify that the Atrix 2 Bootstrapper files and the Bootstrap Recovery on Boot files were in fact deleted and renamed correctly? Also, which FXZ file did you use in RSDLite?

I got JB OTA update, but it failed after my phone rebooted.
Where do I find the error log? What are the usual troubleshooting steps?
My phone is rooted, but that's the only change I remember making. Can't figure out why update keeps failing.
Couple questions, you didn't install custom recovery did you? I know it says only rooted, but just double checking. Also, did you freeze any apps....any at all?

No custom recovery. No frozen apps.
I haven't had any problems with the previous update (VRLHE).
Is there a log file saved somewhere on the phone with the error message?

Solved!
Found the solution. After poking around in the file system I found install log in
/cache/recovery/last_log
So, if anyone is having upgrade problems that's the log file you should be looking at for error messages.
Turned out I disabled camera click by renaming the sound file and completely forgot about it :silly:.
In my case this was the error message that pointed to the problem:
"failed to stat "/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg": No such file or directory"

Thanks this helped me figure out why I wasn't able to get the updates....although it was a for a different error. I had disabled the shutter sound.

Oh, something silly might be the cause of my issue, as well.
EDIT:
After rooting to view the install_log file contents, it appeared that my install failed because "/system/lib/libjni_emailspellcheck.so" was not on my phone - what a ridiculous error to hold up a major OS upgrade.
I found Incubus' JellyBomb ROM at the VRLHE level and copied libjni_emailspellcheck.so from that to my phone in the proper subdirectory. Re-installed the JellyBean 4.1.1. OTA and everything went fine.
Weatherbug and some other apps are JellyBean-ized, it appears. Cool.

The sneaky bastards at Verizon tried to push the OTA yesterday evening. The phone was in my pocket and it started getting warm. Pulled it out and saw the update failed message. "last_log" showed it couldn't find VzTones.apk. Well, I had deleted that after backing up in TiBackup, but had reinstalled it a week or so ago. Apparently, when ti restored the apk it wound up being named "com.vzw.hs.android.modlite-1.apk", or at least that's my assumption since the icon is the same. I renamed it, but the update failed (dl via wifi this time. Why does it have to download again, by the way?) again because VzTones didn't have the "expected sha1 sums", whatever that means. I gave up and used this method to get the update, root, and unlocked bootloader.
I think I preferred flashing my Moment to this.
Here's a question: Does that 400mb download count against your data plan?
Jp5 tablet jail broke rooted android jellybean. Stuck on frozen boot animation, all files and folders read only, won't chmod or chown (permission denied) out of space message when trying to push, won't pull...adb server won't start tried the. Setprop persist etc. No result. Am won't work pm returns segmentation fault. VM returns 1. Kill all won't work. Wipe all permission denied. Won't master clear etc etc etc...can access via emulator and USB cable but can only look around. Data directory won't ls permission denied. SDcard isn't showing up when ls in /. What else can I add....basically screwed but still persistent and hopeful. please help me, no screenshots available. Oh and tried the rm rf/data* (not sure I wrote that right) in an attempt to free up space to push a service jar, no success. An error shows up in log cat re android os. Hmm, think that's all I remember off the top of my head. There are more errors and faults. Could possibly be related to the ''raccoon'' thing in system/bin I was messing with adb and was curious. Maybe or not. Maybe something else. Help and thanks.

Jelly bean and phones that used jelly bean are no longer viable for today's systems, they are way too un-secured and are severe risks to your personal information, privacy and home network security. Not to mention, most of today's apps are not compatible with Jelly Bean.

Thank you for your reply
I understand I am using obsolete technology, but this is all I have and I am desperate for a solution. I cannot afford anything else. If someone could at the very least explain how to get around the permission denied so I can wipe it, I will be able to reinstall everyrthing else. Thank you for your time and attention to my plight.
