I'm on the American Wifi only 10.1. I'm unlocked, rooted, and have since lost the backup of stock. I'm on Android Revolution HD 11.2, but would love to get updated to most recent software, even if it meant being stock. Seems like none of the links work for any of the ODIN files... Can anyone PM me or help me out please.. or give me some alternate pathways to some of the newer ROMS.

i have been using my inspire 4g for few years now with the stock 2.3.3 w/o any problem until i accepted the update notification from at&t for 2.3.5 which i hate now. Long story short, it just made my exchange email crap and it became a burden. I do not know anything about rooting so bought a used Atrix 2 hoping to have ICS on it.
But the phone came withe the following:
Android Version: 2.3.5
System Version: 55.11.11.MB865.ATT.en.US
Build Number: 5.5.1-175_EDFFW1-11
As soon as I power on, the setup screen comes in where I enter my google details and it takes me to home screen and all is well. But when I click the 'Contacts' icon, it takes me to AT&T address book directly and starts rotating endlessly. Never give me an option to disable AT&T address book in contacts. It goes directly there and never completes even though I have data and wifi enabled. I tried at&t support as i don't have at&t phonebook registered - they asked me to upgrade to ICS.
Then I tried the OTA ICS upgrade and it always says the 'The device is upto date and no software upgrade is necessary'. It never upgrades the OS. At this point, at&t said they can't do anything and asked me to talk to Motorola. Motorola said this phone is running a version that is not supported so they can't help either. I have been googling and reading a lot of posts in this forum for help without much success.
I did check out the following and asked for help there:

Can someone please point me a thread or give me steps i need to follow to get this phone out of stock and working condition?
I am also working on getting my inspire out of stock OS but would love to get this phone fixed first.
Thanks in advance.

If you want to get the official ICS then here is the fxz for AT&T US phones (if you are somewhere else or using a different carrier, then you probably don't want this and need to supply more info.)
A couple of things to note. Once you upgrade to the official ICS there is NO going back to Gingerbread (unless someone hacked something together and I missed it), but it's best to assume you won't. Make backups before you do anything, better safe than sorry. If you don't like not having an option to revert to Gingerbread, then there are other options, but not the one mentioned.
If all is good and you want to flash the Official ICS, then you can visit the noob guide which will tell you how to flash a FXZ and what is needed.
Thank you. I really don't like the idea of not going back to Gingerbread but at this time my priority is to get this atrix 2 up and running. So am ok to get the official ics but the following says i should go to 2.3.6 in order to get to ics. Is that still true for the link you provided?

The link you posted is for ICS Leak#1, that will get you on ICS and as long as you're on Leak #1 only, you can revert to Gingerbread by using a specific FXZ from the link you posted. Your choice. The Official ICS that I posted has everything and will overwrite everything, so whether you flash from 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 it's going to upgrade the bootloader and system. Just remember, if you use the Offical ICS, then no more Gingerbread. Personally, I haven't wanted or needed Gingerbread since I got ICS.
Dear jsknair.
You can directly flash with OTA ICS update, no need to go to 2.3.4 then update to 2.3.6 the OTA ICS.
I very easy as other guy said study noob guide. After that within 10 min you will be on ICS and its really good you don't think to go back to GB.
I like to thanks Jimbirdman :thumbup:to help me for update my Atrix 2.

This is an easy upgrade (and one I did, going from a 4.1.2 ROM called BoneStock 3.4 to MOAR 7.1 and then to my current TW4.3 ROM, CleanROM 8.0). Its pretty similar to any other ROM you have flashed. You just need to make sure you flash a ML1 modem (which it appears you have already done), then flashing the new ROM.
There are a number of good TW 4.3 ROMs found on the Verizon Galaxy S III Android Development thread, and while I have experience with Mother of All ROMS aka MOAR (recently updated to v8.0) and CleanROM, but each phone is different so what works best on mine (or even what has the features you value most) may differ for you. Best to research each of the TW 4.3 ROMs by reading the specific developer threads and even asking questions once you have researched. The developers and the community is very helpful once you have done your own homework. Pay attention to what the developer instructs in the OP of each thread, as most of any question have about how to install are usually answered in the OP.
The good news... these ROMs are getting rock solid... pretty problem free and smooth. Good luck and enjoy the new ROM!
UPDATE: one suggestion... you may want to update whatever Recovery you are using. I do know going to a 4.4 ROM requires the latest TWRP (the recovery I favor) to 2.6.3.1 which I am pretty sure is the latest version. It may not be required for 4.3, but seems a good idea none the less. You will also note that your files will then be stored in a different place (I am not technical enough to explain this... so do some research on that). This will make a difference when you back up important files (pictures, messages etc) and also when you do the nandroids. And always, always make nandroids!
*I'm sorry if there is a similar post to this, but all posts I've looked through aren't detailed enough or are extremely out dated. Please direct me to the right place. Thank you so much! <3 *
How do I restore my HTC One M8 to the latest stock everything. (OS, firmware, android version, everything)
I'm not a total newbie in rooting and recoveries, but I just can't seem to find the difference between ROMS and firmware.
Here's what happened:
I was running 4.4.3 rooted on my M8, and then I flashed the MaximusHD ROM (because it had 4.4.4) So I thought, why do the OTA update and then install a ROM when I can just simply install a ROM that already has 4.4.4 installed. What happened then was I lost the ability to turn on wifi, which confused me.
On their post someone wrote that you need to update the firmware or else the wifi wouldn't work. This all got me extremely confused, so I tried to switch on a different ROM to see if the problem would be solved.
I switched over to Android Revolution 21.0, which is what I'm currently stuck on. So I just want to go back to stock HTC firmware and os or whatever it's called.
Here's some info about my device:
HTC One M8, international europe edition, unlocked
Android version: 4.4.4
Software number: 3.28.401.7
I can also add Kernel version, baseband version and build number, but are these necessary?
Thank you to anyone who helps me out with this, I am extremely grateful.
Hi there,
I'd suggest reviewing and having a look at this thread: [GUIDE] Return your European M8 to 100% Stock
Thank you and thread closed!
Quick question. I can get a good deal on a Galaxy Note Tab 10.1 that is running 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. It's a wi-fi version, no carrier. Will I be able to update to a newer OS such as Jelly Bean or KitKat? I should be able to just update over wifi, correct? Thanks - Dan

IMHO, exept for the N8013 you get OTA/Kies updates up to 4.4.2. If you have a N8013 OTA 4.1.2, for 4.4.2 you can flash Gnabo V7 4.4.2 which by the way is much better than stock.
It is a GT-N8013 running ICS. It can be updated then to Kit Kat, without rooting? This would be for my wife as a gift, she doesn't like all that "tinkering" like I do on my phones, LOL.

The N8013 (i have the same) can be updated to 4.1.2 via OTA o Kies. There is no KitKat for this model, and i do not think there will be. Samsung forgot about it. If you want KitKat 4.4.2 than you have to flash a custom ROM which requires a Custom recovery and for that SuperSU and root. But it is worth it. The Gnabo 4.4.2 ROm is amazing, free from Bloatware and running like Speedy Gonzales Its easy to do.

This is not totally true.. You can flash FACTORY Stock rom for the n8010 to this device. Its totally stock Rom with the Boot- loader removed so it does not Alter the ability to go back. THE N810 IS The same device only its sold internationally. this is the base firmware of gnobo rom...
OP this is your best bed right here to keep as close to stock . She will be with this rom

Yes, forgot about that possibility.
I would like to hook her up with a smooth running, no bloat ROM. I realize it's been gone over in some of the other 1000+ page threads but what does the Gnabo ROM give me over the stock ICS?
hope this helps..

Reasons to update
android 4.2
Samsung 2014 apps. including the new s-note Calender email and Others my mind slipped
Removed a Bunch of crap wear. and Useless apps.
Custom recovery where you can do full backups (can root without updating rom)
Moved Notifications to top Like on phone ( i really love this)
I think its a Bit faster then 4.1.2 stock rom.
You can rum 4.2 AND above only apps.
I am sure there are more
Reasons to not update
The new Multi window ui Kinda sucks. But it does work.
Prob more but for me its functioning file
You will no longer get Factory updates.. (ohh wait Samsung ditched us anyway)
Sounds like Gnobo rom would be best for you . But you read the forums and decide for yourself...
I would go for Gnabo Rom, and if you know what you do flash Boefflas Kernel. Top combination.
Would this ROM still be an improvement over 4.1 Jelly Bean? I was mistaken, it is a GT-N8013 running 4.1 JB.

as i said two post up. I listed pros cons for me... I Like the 2014 note pro apps better then the old s- note and note2013 apps..
you can always root it . Install a custom recovery do a anand backup in custom recovery to external sd card.
install the rom and try it.. if you do not like Restore your backup.. You are way WAY Over thinking this simple solution.. Hope you do not mind me saying so..
Basically, I need a rom/kernel I can flash that is a stock rom. It would be very helpful if it is compatible with the 4 capacitive buttons model.
It is a SCH-R760 and I hope you guys can help me!
( I currently have siyah installed as a mid-way point, it isnt compatible with the model of the phone but it boots into the os so i can actually use it, still looking for help tho )
Hello,
I have sent you a personal message with a link to your stock firmware, it is the 2.3.6 though, that is all I'm finding for your model.
If i remember correctly, the S2 Epic 4G Touch(SPH-D710) firmware will work on your device, it has the 4 capacitive buttons on the bottom. I have the SPH-D710, when I first got it it was used, it had a stock SCH-R760X firmware on it, I restored it to the SPH-D710. The D710 has 4.1.2. stock if you want to try it.
You can find the D710(SPRINT) firmware at "rwilco12's Android Repository" every stock file that exists for the D710 is there, stock and custom recoveries, stock modems, stock firmwares, stock pre-rooted firmwares, everything.
