[Q] Can't flash back to stock

I've downloaded the stock image directly from the Motodev site for my MZ604. It successfully flashes boot.img. When I try to flash system.img, it just hangs. I thought maybe I was rushing it before giving up but I left it going for a couple of hours this morning with no luck. I'm happy with cwm and running ics roms but this is puzzling me as to why I can't get back to stock. My stock recovery img got trashed last month so recovering back to stock isn't an option. Any suggestions?

More specifically, I get a successful send of system.img, the hang up happens while writing.

I know this may not help you but have u tried downloading the file another time and compare the md5 between the file.. If they are the same then i have no idea mine was able to write correctly.. If they are different download it a 3rd time and see which one is truly correct.?

Downloaded from another site and got the same results. I kept rebooting the xoom and repeatedly tried flashing and it finally went through. For some reason, I had to do the same thing for recovery and userdata. It's back to stock and working normally now.
ps now i'm about to root again and flash a nightly lol. I just couldn't understand why it did the same thing last month when i tried to revert to stock and gave up. I was determined to figure it out today.

Awesome to hear! Flash away lol

[Q] Flashed 4G recovery onto 3G phone

Okay.
So, I have tried to UTSE on this and found a thread that directed me to flash a new radio (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884) which I have done but the fastboot is still not letting my phone respond.
So...
My phone is a GT 19023.
I'd updated to jelly bean awhile ago but was having some serious performance problems and wanted to flash back down to ICS or GB. Of course, the recovery wasn't working so I went to Nexus Hacks and downloaded his recovery files, stupidly I didnt notice it was 4G specific (crespo4g), just that it was for ICS and JB. The recovery seemed to work ok, had the new touchscreen version, but then I tried to install a stock GB ROM from my SD card. At the end it seemed stuck on writing radio. Wasnt doing anything so assumed it was ok to reboot. When it rebooted every process was failing so I tried to do the fastboot flash recovery again and the phone just wouldnt respond.
Tht's where I am at now.
Saw another thread and got directed to the link above to flash the radio.
Did that, used the UCKF1 radio, no problems installed fine but the phone still won't respond to fastboot flash recovery using recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-crespo.
Can anyone point me in the right direction PRETTY PLEASE! I'm not a techie guy and its my only phone :crying:

You did a lot wrong here. NEVER DO SOMETHING UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETE KNOWLEDGE OF IT
Also you flashed the wrong radio. I would suggest you to stop as where you are right now.
You need to go complete stock first, by flashing the factory image.

flash failure ICS leak 1 tried to FXZ to the stock ICS

So I decided to start with fresh ICS install coming from leak 1. I didn't care if I ever was able to flash back to 2.3 so I used the FXZ files found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1961310
It started the flash and seemed to be working properly. Seemed to flash the MBM. Then erase the firmware and as It was writing the new It said flash failure. 18/1 or 1/18. After letting it sit for awhile and looking up some stuff I tried again and it keeps getting stuck at flashing MBM. So now what? I thought about trying the 2.3.6 FXZ but if it updated the MBM the first time that's probably not an option..What about just flashing the firmware? Anyway I'm hoping someone can help me out.
Edit:
Well I'm not sure what happened but I have managed to boot into Android. It was a fresh install and had me setup my phone again. When I enter fast boot I haven't seen the phone show up, as I wanted to try and flash again.
I don't know if I have a partial/buggy install or if it's perfectly fine. So far it seems to run alright, it did seem a little buggy when I was first setting it up though. I took some screen shots of the about phone area. Maybe someone can tell me if all the numbers are the same as what's in the FXZ.

The kernel is the ICS one. I guess you're good. :thumbup:

1031 f'd on downdrade 444 to 442

OK, so I got Boost 1031 and I flash them to Verizon 1028 firmware so we can use them on PagePlus.
I have flashed sever with this great guide but yesterday after flashing I allowed it to take te 4.4.4 ota and it worked fine but no 3G. I tried a few things without luck and decided to reflash the 4.4.2 firmware through fastboot. Apparently partition changes and such make this not work well. I guess I'm now stuck with parts of each and I can't seem to get either one back complete.
Symptoms: Reboots every minute or 2 and no wifi service.
I've tried sideloading the 4.4. ota, installing it from recovery and I also installed CWM, rooted and flashed a couple 4.4.4 roms and still wifi not happening and very unstable.
I began with unlocked bootloader, but stock otherwise. I really want to get it back to stock 4.4.2 or 4.4.4
I'm no expert by any means, but no noob either...any help would be much appreciated. I guess when someone release a complete 4.4.4 package I may be ok. Maybe a kernel or radio would work but I haven't found any packaged radios for 4.4.2
Fastboot & recovery are very stable...I'm back on stock recovery now.
BTW I flashed another today for a friend and updated it to 4.4.4 and everything worked fine...even 3G! I think I had a setting wrong in DFS is why 3G would work on the f'd unit.
Moral...Don't try to flash 4.4.2 over the top of 4.4.4

Fiddled around with USCC Galaxy S6: Boot Loops, process com.google.process.gapps...

1. TWRP is up
2. baseband G920R4TYU2BOF7/HW version G9020R4.02
3. No Mods
4. Rooted
So I tried flashing the Vader ROM, I was getting boot loops at the language selection screen. I go back and restore from backups my original stuff. Boot back up and now I'm getting the lovely "process.com.google.gapps has stopped" error. I'm assuming that I may need to find gapps for 5.1.1? I also tried flashing XtreStoLite ROM with the Aroma add on. Everything seemed to be working great with the exception of the data and no signal, which I am to assume is because I'm not using the correct carrier-specific stuff.
Go to download the stock ROM for my phone, and I keep getting an error as well. Odin won't flash it. One thing that I noticed is that the stock rom was 5.0.2 where when I got the phone 3 days ago it came with 5.1.1.
At this point, I'd like to be able to get it back to stock if possible. I jumped the gun and started flashing all sorts of things without checking to see if it would even for with a USCC galaxy s6. Any help would be much appreciated.

UPDATE: Problem seems to have resolved itself with the last restore. no more problems with gapps. However I am curious as to if any of these custom roms will work with a USCC variant
