FOUND - Need 55.1.27.MB865.AsiaRetail.en.03 India retail firmware

Hi,
I have an Indian Atrix 2. I recently rooted it and un-installed some system applications like Email and Gmail etc. using Titanium Backup without taking a backup. After doing it everything works fine but I am getting force closes every now and then with messaging app.
I am wondering if any Indian users here can post Indian Retail firmware backup so that I can update my phone back to factory state. I tried factory reset but that didn't help either.
Firmware version is 55.1.27.MB865.AsiaRetail.en.03, android 2.3.6.
UPDATE: Download "5.5.1-EDEM-27-SEARET_cfc.xml.zip" from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php
That's what I was looking for

If you tell me how, I'd be happy to help. I'm not yet rooted though.

How to root 2.3.6 ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396650
Then dowload and install A2 Bootstrap ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346977
Then install CWM ROM Manager ---> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager&hl=en
Run the bootstrap, reboot into recovery, and make a backup.. The system image will be stored on your sd card.
This is how one would do it with the US version, hope it all works for the Indian version..
Note that this will copy your system and data in it's current state... it won't give you the stock FXZ that you are looking for.. but you might be able to get clever and grab only the stock apps you need and push them to your device..

Just thought of this, not sure if it will work - have someone with an your version of stock rooted A2 make a titanium backup of all the apps and data, then make a CWM backup as briefly described above, and get you a copy the backup file. Then, put it on your sd card in the clockworkmod/backup folder, use Titanium Backup and the "Extract from Nandroid" option. Choose the critical system apps that you need and restore (maybe the apps only, no data).
Actually, maybe you could skip the CWM part entirely and just copy the stock Titanium Backup files into your TB folder on your sd card..
Maybe somebody here knows a bit more about this? And can't you just get Gmail from the Play Store?

Thanks, been a bit busy. This is exactly how it needs to be done. I have mine rooted, so I can use CWM to restore the backup taken this way. I would really appreciate the help.
I flashed all the custom roms but all are AT&T based, have lots of restrictions, like network selection doesn't work, tethering doesn't work, *#*#4636#*#* menu doesn't work.
This could be of help to other people too. If AT&T roms work on mine than I believe there's no difference in hardware on our's or US devices, so US people can flash it too to have a real android device with no restrictions whatsoever. And if a developer can create a custom rom based on this that would be wonderful.

Will appreciate the help if you could do this for me. Its a little complicated process but once you follow the steps it is fairly easy, hardly took me 15 minutes to root. And please backup your apps after rooting with Titanium Backup and then factory reset and take a CWM backup here, that way none of your personal information will be there in backup file.
I know I am asking for something that will take some time.... I am around if you need help with any of the steps, do let me know.

Hi did Ya get wat ya had asked for - pls let me know if ya found the 55.1.27.MB865.AsiaRetail.en.03 India retail firmware... eveN m In need Of 1

Sorry mate, I didnt find what I was looking for so I gave it to service center. And they are processing a replacement for me. But just now I found this http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php
Go to your phone's settings, about phone and see if you find below information listed there:
edison_emara-user 2.3.6 5.5.1-EDEM-27 70 release-keys2012-01-20 19:57 Off.Bld LUD_EDISON_R1E_PATCH_23_120120_1943 crh1090280_M570_PC_CARD_RAINB
If I remember our is same version as above. If it is, go to above link and download "5.5.1-EDEM-27-ASIAOPS_cfc.xml.zip" and flash it using RSD Lite. And if you find it risky, just extract system.img from this zip file and go to fastboot mode (vol up+vol down and power on, select AP Fastboot) and in cmd type fastboot flash system system.img and it should flash system image only to your phone.
This should make it work, I wish I had my phone with me. Try if you are comfortable and understand the process well. Good Luck

And if you can, could you please upload a screenshot of Setting - About Phone screen here? So that I can match that information with other versions uploaded on that link, we may find retail Indian firmware, may be...

Ok guys, good news. I had a backup of my phone before giving it to service center. N I confirm that "5.5.1-EDEM-27-SEARET_cfc.xml.zip" file given at http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php is the Indian Retail Version everyone is looking for. I just matched the versions with my backup and this is exact same copy we need. So guys flash it without worries...

I am sure you can. Hardware is same. I had Indian version and when I screwed it without taking the backup, I flashed AT&T stock ROM and it worked flawlessly so Indian ROM should work on yours too. Only difference is, Indian ROM is not restrictive like AT&T, its what non carrier branded handset should have, everything works. I would suggest try it. I don't think there will be an issue, and even if you come across any issue, you still have stock AT&T FXZ/SBF to flash... So nothing to loose in my opinion.

I assume you have motorola usb drivers installed, could be found on Motorola support site easily (cant tell you the link now, at work right now).
Then just wait for firmware download to finish. Install RSD Lite and run it. Turn off your phone. Now hold Vol Up+Vol Down together and press power key, you will see 4 options, select AP Fastboot. Now connect your phone to PC using cable. Now the RSD Lite screen should show your device listed in the white blank box. After that click on "..." icon on RSD Lite and select the firmware file you downloaded. After all this, just hit the Start in RSD window and wait patiently for few minutes. Once it is done your phone will restart and boot into your new firmware. That's it... Enjoy
Do let me know if you need any further help. Right now I am planning to go home, will only be able to reply tomorrow morning hopefully.
Sorry, cant mail you right now, no access to personal email sites at work

It didn't work? Hmmm... I don't have my phone to try anything new yet, will get a replacement next week. Anyways, in my other thread here in General Section, xda Dev "cogeary" is working on a custom ROM based on Indian Retail ROM with additional features taken from Chinese ROM, like call recording, spam SMS/Call blocking. So its just few days till we start getting real good ROM's here. So keep visiting here.
Facebook, yeah. But I don't add strangers
Just kidding, will add you, though I hardly use FB, just have it to keep in touch with old friends.

"starting services" does not stop...on boot up

Hi all , just joined xda-developers but i spend straight 14 hours trying to fix this DAMM photon q yesterday
all i got in the end is a normal boot after following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001108
BUT at the startup , the screen comes like for a millisecond and then this " starting services" logo doesn't go at all...it just continues forever
any help would be appreciate .

Can you explain what your setup is, and exactly what you've done to get where you are?
For example, you were bootloader official unlocked, on CWM and asa-10, etc.
Thanks.

bootloader is not qaulified for official unlock... and its my friends phone so he gave to me since he was unable to use it.. i thought i could give it life again.. so...i don't what esle info you want but i did EXACTLY what that thread told me to do... and still the that thing does not go ..

Still doesn't tell me what you've done, what state the phone is actually in, etc.
I thought my question was pretty straightforward. Unless you provide more detail, I don't know how anyone will be able to help you.
Is this a stolen device? Why is it not qualified for the official unlock? Either way, how does that play into what's wrong with the device?
Did you have custom recovery on it? Give some details!!!

i think i am a noob at explaining things but let me try again...i don't know the exact history of this phone , my friend gave it to me yesterday and its not stolen ... he paid his insurance every month but then who know what he did... i have no idea why its not qaulified for the official unlock probably because he bought a new phone on the same line so the company deactivated this phone..
ok so when i got the phone yesterday , the bootlocker logo appeared and i was unable to do anything ...then i installed CWMrecovery and it was successfull and then i installed every possible rom available online as far as i know but same thing happened with all of them ..... successfully installed , it reboots and little square thing saying " starting services..." and then it does not go away at all ... but at the same time i am able to bring the top menu ..and go to the settings and everything from there but i can't go to home screen since ...it is black and is occupied by "starting services.."
so finally i came accross this thread for master reboot and i followed it ....i installed TWRrecovery and made backup and then restored a backup providers by that guy ... i flashed new stock recovery after that... so following his thread , he told that if all went successful ... it will return to original stock
and now i am at the same screen as previous... " starting serivces..." my friend told me he tired to root it and he messed up really bad ..so i believe there is still some old files in the internal storage from previous rom versions.... but i deleted everything......wiped, data facotry reset and then
installed a clean backup provided by the thread starter...... and everyone else had success except me ...
i hope i answered your questions if not .. i would aprreciate if you tell me what exactly you want to know ..... thanks

i also tired every US ROMS from here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/asanti_c/list.php
and all of them showed " starting services.." after i installed them from sdcard using CWMrecovery.

we have full RSD lite backups now to restore a phone can be found in this thread

[Q] Nexus 5 Stuck in four circles after installing app

Hi Amazing people
I have somehow managed to kill my phone. I tried updating one of my apps and the performance went downhill. I then tried to restart the device and it got stuck on the four spinning circles. I can access recovery mode but I don't want to wipe the device as it has files I still want.
Can I boot the nexus into Safe Mode from powered off state?
or what do you recommend without me losing my files???
Help ME please

Have you a custom ROM ? And what is your ROM version ? What are the four circles you are describing ?
You can try going to recovery (stock one if not bootloader unlocked), and erasing cache files android.gs/how-to-boot -reassemble URL I can't post URL without 10 posts- -recovery-mode-for-google-nexus-5/
If it doesn't work you can try to flash all stock fastboot images but it erase all data because you have to unlock it and it erase even the (simulated) SD card (where your photos are).
It is very complicated because you don't have an unlocked bootloader. Can you even boot in the system ? Getting to the lockscreen ? Or you have a bootloop?
Explain more please

Factory reset phone with root and twrp

Hello guys, yesterday I sold my phone. Now im trying to factory reset my Oneplus one in the menu. But when I do that it reboots and gets in a TWRP bootloop. I already backedup my data on my new phone, so I just want to get rid of everything. When I reboot the phone nothing has changed and all my apps and data are still there. Anyone have an idea what I should do? Thanks in advance.

Simply boot into Recovery, tap Wipe and swipe to begin the process. Doing so will perform a regular Factory Reset.

The best way to ensure that the device is ready for sale is by flashing the stock images with fastboot. See section 8 of my guide:

Well the method that I suggested will ensure that the phone is back to a 100% stock state, exactly as it came out of the box.

going back to stock

I flashed TWRP and unlocked bootloader, I am on mha-l29c636b158. How can I return to completely stock? I want to receive updates via ota because I read that there is a new update to fix the touch screen not being responsive. Or is there a flashable stock zip update I can flash?

I spent that past two days rooting and flashing the one rom I could. Had to ignore some Chinese. I am USA 567B167. Got into trouble a number of times. This phone is funky compared to all the rooting I have done. I booted into erocovery, downloaded stock 2GB, wiped and was back to current stock without issue. It bootlooped if I didn't hard reset and wipe cache.

So you just booted to erecovery and from there it automatically downloaded the stock firmware?

You can return stock by use dload update.

yes. I did it twice. that is how many times I got into trouble and was the only solution. It worked great as it gives you the ability to log into wifi with a keyboard present to put in the password, then downloads the stock current rom and flashes it. You have to format data and wipe cache yourself.
Miss Wugfresh root tool. Get you out of any trouble.

It says getting package info failed in erecovery

Erecovery only work for Chinese firmware.
Use the guide above and yes you can receive ota.

I also received the same message. Getting into recovery was inconsistent for me even with TWRP. Sometimes it would do the auto downloaded and fail thing and other times it would go into TWRP. You need to get where you have three choices and pick erocovery and push the start button. This brings up the restore ability. Worked perfect on the USA model.

Yes. Twice. Once to get off of HRT rom that was wonky and another to remove root because I lost Google apps. All accidents and was grateful to discover erecovery put me back on the current B167 version stock.

Completely positive. It happened by accident because I got in a bad place with HRT rom. Came out completely stock and current when no upgrade need. Then I rooted stock and somehow lost gapps including keyboard. Did it again and back to stock. All in erecovery. No other programs or files. It did a 2.5GB download, flashed in Emui and rebooted like when I bought it.

Sorry for the no noob question: I just got my mate 9 and unlocked bootloader and rooted it. Recovery is TWRP 3.0.2-2.
Where do i find this erecovery? Couldn't see any download option in TWRP and even Google didn't know that term. Could anybody please explain step by step how to revert to stock (for the only sake of getting OTAs) once the phone has unlocked bootloader and is rooted using the method from xda with modified boot.img?
Or is it even possible to take OTAs while being rooted with system read only? On my previous phone, the Asus Zenfone 2 this was possible.
Thanks a lot

Thanks for the quick answer. Let me clearify what I understood : this erecovery is available only on the PC?
So basically I wait in rooted state until I receive the next OTA, don't take it but switch off the phone.
Then connect it to the PC and boot it up by holding the volume up + power key.
Then what happens exactly?

Booting the phone while plugged and with volume up will take you to erecovery on ur phone.
There you connect to wifi and the firmware get downloaded into ur phone

Ah ok, this erecovery is still available on my phone even if I already flashed a custom recovery, right?
Then after downloading the firmware, erecovery will flash it and overwrite root and lock my bootloader again, correct?
