I wondered if anyone knows of a way to 'repair' the system files on a fully locked Windows Phone without wiping the phone?
I've got a problem on my phone, which I've posted in various places but had no help with yet.
I'm on a Lumia 620 these days. It's a troublesome little thing, but I suppose it is new and teething so I'm sticking with it.
Thanks loads for any help!
My dear friend...
If you need to repair the system files it's because you have an unlocked one and started to play with some files or an update failed.
but since the phone is "fully locked", full flashing is the solution...
My advice, get rid of the official ROM and install any custom that can work with WP Backup, that way you'll have a backup to restore apps and its respective data to the phone, if you do a hard reset or change the ROM you can set your phone the way it was before the change.
WP Backup only work with customs...
Any help about the use PM me.
Remember, goodbye official ROM, HELLO CUSTOM...:good:

It's brand new, unmodified, and never been updated. It may surprise you to learn that files can be corrupted because of file system errors.
And also that you can't unlock Nokia WPs or WP8s.
And that resetting is quicker and easier than re-flashing.
And that I asked about repairing the system files without having to do either. Obviously I know I can reset since I mentioned it in my post.
So well done. A really outstanding reply. So good that I didn't finish reading it. I'll skip the PM thanks.

your on a Windows phone 8 phone and that isn't unlocked/hacked in any way.
sorry to say this to you but there is no way for you to mod/fix System files on a unhacked phone
this means that you Need to do a Hard reset or Flash a new stock Rom (when possible)
So Mr. "PERFECT"...
You ask, and then you insult...
Why don't you sell that phone and get an android, since you are whining about WP, also the post is another idiotic misplaced post, since you have WP8, you have a serious sight problem: "Windows Phone 7 General" <-- This rings any bell for you?
you're asking about WP8 on WP7, you are incredibly "perfect"
I don't really care if you don't like my answers or if it helps you or not at all; next time don't even ask, since you already know the answer and you like to ask only to bash anyone who tries to give you help.

I guess as the title says..
The phone in question is a Lumia 800
A backup was made of the phone before it went to be fixed. This was running 7.5.. i got the phone back and upon trying to restore to the previous point i just got into a reboot loop. After talking to Nokia they say that they reflashed the phone to 7.8 and in the process disabled the restore function.
The reason for the fix.. a dislodged proximity sensor.
Can anyone here please help? I desperately need the information contained in the backup.
Thank you
Anyone have an idea how i could downgrade the software?
Thanks

i won't be of much help, as i know next to nothing.
but i do remember reading on the forums supposedly the files are kept on your laptop in one of the zune folders, so if it is simple info and short amount of data like contacts, or sms and stuff, you may be able to directly access it with some kind of desktop software, notepad etc. And copy it.
Hey fellow xda members! I've had my oneplus for probably a couple of weeks now and have loved it until this issue I'm having since the 4.4.4 update. So, it all started after the update the phone rebooted and I kept getting messages saying unfortunately cm logger has stopped. Same with the calender app which now force closes every time I go to open it. Upon the issues surfacing first thing I try is to uninstall and reinstall updates on the apps for the calendar which didn't resolve this issue so currently I just have it disabled. After that I decided well if I have to I will just do a factory reset. To my surprise I actually am unable to do a factory reset and just says it fails part way in. Hopefully some people around the forum with more cyanogen knowledge than myself can help me out! Ticket is already submitted to customer support but just want to attempt asking here as well in case it is something anyone can help me with. Feel free to leave suggestions to try I am willing to do anything to help it. Thanks a lot!
I found some information over at the OPO forum but no for sure answers. One idea was to unlock the bootloader because it causes an automatic reset since I can not do one from CM Recovery. Anyone feel free to comment on if this would work.
Sincerely,
Jackson
P.S. I am still pretty new to the whole modding of android devices and may not know common practices known by most people on the forum so feel free to add a little more description with a potential fix)

If your phone is acting up and ready to wipe everything ..Just go to settings..back up and reset..It will erase all..like you just bought the phone..Make sure you back up your fules or what not that you need..
Thanks for the reply but my issue is, I actually can't factory reset it because I receive an issue/error whenever I attempt it.

what kind of error?..If it wont let you do factory reset while the phone is on Do it thru stock recovery..Turn your phone off..Hold power+ volume up. and do it form there..use the volume key to navigate. data factory reset.. you can wipe cache too..

Unlock the bootloader, this will reset the phone like its new again
This will also make things easy if you ever decide to root, and you can also flash twrp recovery
One thing to note, this is important, your SD storage will also be erased, so move any data from it to a PC or Google drive etc.
Bootloader unlock is your best bet, this will help your situation in more ways than one.
There's plenty of guides in one plus forum.

Do you realise you're replying to a thread that's a year old?
Hi guys, I'm pretty new to rooting so tell me if i need to give more info etc cause I know i can be a bit vague.
So I rooted my phone no problem via the all in one kit thing and installed cyanogen, but this was right before the big android update so I wanted to switch back and update to that, but somewhere along the line i got rid of all the Roms (I think)
The stage it's at now: I can boot normally but the startup wizard fails, I assume this is because the stock operating system isnt hooked up to run, regardless I can't find a copy or figure out how to run it. (before my TWRP seemed to stop running on startup)
Bootloader: I don't know how it ended up relocked after I'd unlocked it but am guessing that is why i cant access the custom recovery at the moment (twrp)
If anyone is able could you walk me through, or point me to a guide to show:
How to unlock a relocked phone,
How to get a Stock version of Android (anything after 4.0 I guess because it will auto update?) running on there
Tell me if I'm being dumb in any part of this (apart from pissing about with things I don't understand, haha)
OK, So i'm unlocked and back onto TWRP, that was easy though, What I do need help with is working out how to install the factory Operating system again, last time I tried that is what caused the relocking etc so any help would be amazing.
Thanks, Simon

Sorry yes, meant to close this post now that this particular problem was kinda sorted but didnt get round to it last night. Unless you know a way to get the correct firmware for the wifi? Just seems strange it'd update wrong.

Hi xda!
So a few days ago, late at night and yes i know this probalby was one of the most idiotic things i've ever done, i tried to recover some deleted messages on my phone.
I guess it was one emotional, spur of the moment action and i came accross "dr fone" ...
Bought it on the googly play store, it had about 5M downlaods, 3 stars, so i tought maybe people couldn't recover what ever. So i installed it it than asked me to also install some software on my PC, so i did without thinking. It told me the phone will be rooted because then i can search better so i did. Please remember it was a emotional/without thinking moment, I guess my gut told me it is stupid but i just wanted the messages back. I really hate myself for this i really do and ...
It wasn't able to recover the messages a few minutes later i kind of freaked out, removed the app from my phone, uninstalled the the app from pc and did go to bed with a very bad feeling but i tried telling myself its fine. Next morning i woke up immediately rememberd, frist thing i did was completely wipe my pc (new windows installation, hope that did the trick for the pc) and tried to factory reset my phone.
I noticed kind of a weired message something like "could not find correct software version" (cant recall it right now). Anyway I did make the factory reset and ...
I couldn't stop thinking about this message, at least what i figured out is that its probably because the phone was rooted right?
So i did some further investigations and realized after rooting a phone they would have had full access to the OS and could have done some modifications and a factory reset just clears data from phone but does not reset the OS and ROM. So if they put something bad there it wouldn't be reseted and further now i may not retrieve further updates and so on...
So my conclusion after sleeping a day or two about it is to put a new ROM on my phone because this wipes it clean right?
So i have following questions:
1. Is it possible the bootloader on my phone is hacked and how likely is it? (If likely what can i do about it?)
2. Does putting a new ROM on my phone wipe it clean?
3. I saw that there are Samsung stock roms out there are they legit should i use them? I'm also thinking about Lineage OS, since my phone is ****ed anyway and i might get no further samsung updates. - What are your toughts about this?
4. Guess i can figure this out myself (the other questions are bigger concerns to me) but some pointers for installing the ROM? (guess just watch a guide or so and do it with odin?)
I really really hope you guys can help me/ provide me with some background knwoledge.
Really appreciate your help!
Also thanks in advance (im really concerned)

Flashing a full manufacturers ROM with a full wipe will clean your phone. Flashing a custom ROM or only part of manufacturers won't. You don't say what manufacturer your phone is but I assume it's a Samsung since you mention Odin & Samsung so you want the full 4 files firmware to flash with Odin from a trusted source eg sammobile. com
Edit: I got it back to proper firmware, but now have an issue with re-locking the bootloader so that I can install an OTA and make my sim card recognizable again. "Still waiting for signed boot.img"; can anybody provide a DL link to a signed boot.img for my specific model? [PCO29.114-54-2]
I'll try to keep this short and simple. It's my first post to these forums (hi), so sorry if I say stuff that sounds really simple or silly.
So, for a while now, I was dealing with a lot of really minor issues on my phone that I was told by those I asked was corruption in the android stock firmware. It wasn't anything major, but the issues were building up, and factory resets weren't fixing any of them. So, with my phone already out of warranty, I decided there wouldn't be any harm in trying to fix it myself. After reading up on it a little, I unlocked my bootloader, then I decided I would try flashing a custom ROM.
Well... I didn't even get that far. I was trying really hard to use the TWRP to back up my phone, but it kept getting errors. Looking it up, people said you just have to delete corrupted files to make it work, so I went back and forth wiping the files that gave it issues, until eventually I just decided to give up because there were so many corrupted files, just in the boot folder alone. When I went to turn the phone on and throw in the towel... I got the dreaded bootloop.
I freaked out, and decided that since I could still get into fastboot mode, I would try to stock the flash firmware to fix it. So, I went online, just found stock firmware, ran a batch file that did it all automatically, and...
When I turned my phone on, it was for the complete wrong carrier. Previously, it was a device I bought from T-Mobile, and thus, I was using a sim card and all that from them. Now the device is tied to Cricket, and so, of course, that stuff doesn't work.
Weirdly, there's other issues on the device now too, like when trying to add a Google account, the phone just closes out of everything...
Well.
I do know there's a guide here for how to flash the phone back to original firmware (although they don't have my firmware (M3DE6) listed), but there's other issues now, too. Stuff like the IMEI are totally wiped from the phone's memory now, just being listed as "Unknown" in the phone's settings. Not to mention, everytime I turn on the phone, I get text that says "bad ID" and it takes an additional 10-15 seconds to turn on. Is there any way to fix all this stuff? I don't mind if I have to restore it to OG stockware or if flashing a custom ROM will fix the problem- I just really need my phone to be able to work with my sim card again so I can take and make calls/texts.
I've still got to pay on my phone for a year still via the contract I made with T-Mobile, so it'd really suck if my phone got stuck in an unusable condition like this. If there's anybody who could just help me get it back to WORKING condition (calls/texts, google accounts, etc.), then I would greatly appreciate that. Thanks.

I did find my device's actual stock firmware from another website and installed it, but now the sim card doesn't work. I've heard that if I perform an OTA update, it'll make it work again, but... I can't perform an OTA update because the bootloader is unlocked. I can't re-lock it, because everytime I try, it gives me a message that says "Still waiting for signed boot.img".
Someone said to use the rescue and smart assistant app, but it doesn't recognize my phone, so that's a no-go.
