Back to stock. - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I'm selling my phone and thus need to go back to stock. Lock the bootloader, unroot and flash a stock L29 ROM.
How do I go about that?
Thanks.

Hi all,
This is probably a stupid question. I'm on an L29 180 rooted rom & get constant App freezing.
How do I go back to stock or fix my issue? I've trawled through the forum but can't get any clear instructions for the L29..
Thanks in advance

[Q] Semi-noob question about returning to stock.

I did a search and couldnt find the answer to this.
I have a TMOUS Sensation 4G, i went ahead and did s-off, rooted, and installed an ics rom. I loved the rom, but decided to go back to stock due to radio issues i just couldn't get figured out with multiple attempts. So, i'm back to current stock firmware and am un-rooted. The only thing i haven't done is gone back to s-on. Does anyone no if that will effect me getting the OTA to ICS when released?
Thanks for the help!
No being S-off will not keep you from getting the OTA update when it gets pushed. You just have to be running the 1.50 software and have the stock recovery.
Check out this thread and follow the instructions in order to install the ICS OTA.

nexus s help....!?!?

Well I was running stock 404(i9020t) rooted with matrix kernel, and trying to prepare for jb ota in a few days I decided to go back to stock thinking having a non stock kernel, I would miss out on jb ota. So I proceeded to flash what I thought was my stock image for my phone (i9020t) but it turns out it was for (i9020a). After I realized that wasn't the correct image I halted my process. I'm currently on stock 404(i9020a),but my bootloader is still unlocked. So my question is 1. Will this affect me getting jb ota 2. If not will the ota correct my phone baseline 3. What steps should I take to achieve the stock 404 for my specific phone? I've read through multiple posts so I'm guessing I need some simple explanation. Thanks in advance.
Mod plz remove. I solved my problem. thx.

[Q] Has this been tried?

So up until a week ago I was running CM11, but for the past month I was having battery issues so I decided to revert back to stock to test if it was the battery or the ROM. So I flash my phone back to stock and update to 4.4.2 knowing that I still had all the tools still available in case I wanted to flash back to CM11. Now today I wanted to flash back to CM11, but I wanted to make sure the methods were still correct to flash back to CM most concerning the bootloader, and to my dismay I found out that everything changed for the worse. On the bright side I was able to root my phone but unfortunately I flashed CWM recovery so now I can't get into recovery, but I can still access my phone so its not hard bricked to the point I have to JTAG, but my first question is how do I revert back to system recovery, I made a nandroid backup before I flashed the recovery but would that still work? And my second question is are there any ROMS you can install that allow you to run a custom recovery or allow you to flash back to 4.1.2? Either way, I'm glad I decided to double checks facts before proceeding or I would've had a bricked phone.

No custom recovery and no flashing back to 4.1.2. It is safestrap only and 4.4.2 touchwiz ROMs only, of which there is only one right now. Unless you are willing to send your phone to mobile tech videos and pay them $50. They are apparently ale to revert you're phone to 4.1.2.
You should have done a little more reading of all the warnings available in the forums before going back to stock and taking the update to 4.4.2.

Ok, that answers my second question, but is there anyways to reflash the stock recovery for 4.4.2?

There is if you can find one, but I don't think it's posted anywhere. Your best bet is to just Odin flash a stock 4.4.2 rom and start over again.

How to back to stock ICS 4.0.4 from OMNIROM 4.4.4 bigpart?

Hi all,
I am using OMNIROM 4.4.4 bigpart in my old EU Wingray XOOM 32GB but I have lots of performance and stability issues (browser crashes, apps freezing, very slow system....). After reinstalling it I still have problems and I want to check if it's due to the device itself...
To test that, I would like to go back to the stock Android 4.0.4 ICS that I was using in my European xoom before the jump to EOS, CM and OMNI.
Could anybody help me on how to go back to stock? Where to download the stock rom? how to remove bigpart? Is it really required to remove bigpart to install the stock rom?
Thanks for any help given.
The best way to go back to factory image is to go back to Android 3.1 honeycomb , firmware HW169

once you are back to android 3.1, keep check update. until you get the latest 4.12 or stop at 4.0.4 if you wish.

Thanks a lot for answering.
So... I have to download the original Honeycomb software, "reflash it" and update until I get 4.0.4 or 4.1.2 ...
My doubt is ... do I have to "undo" the "bigpart"? Or will the stock firmware install perfectly in my "bigpart" xoom?
Thanks!
the bigpart issue I am not to sure of
Of course you need to undo BigPart. It's well document in Xoom Android development section of this forum.
You need to flash the non-big-part TWRP (2.8.0 or other), wipe everything, reboot intot TWRP, format Data, wipe everything again, reboot into TWRP again. Then you can flash original image using fastboot.
Just to stick my nose in, (and go slightly off topic) have you tried My Android Jellybean 4.2? before you go back to honeycomb you might want to give it a go, runs very smooth and very few bugs (if any!)

Eh?
I didn't find anything in forum, could somebody help me how can i go back from bigpart to stock partition?
I tried to go back to stock last month and it was a nightmare trying to get it to boot back after the update. My only advise is to leave the thing alone. Or do a wipe in twrp or cwm. BTW, I still can not get my device to boot or enter recovery after my dumb ass tried to get back stock firmware.

I just flashed mine from omni bigpart back to stock 3.1 cause my 1yr old daughter can't keep her hands off my phone...was time consuming researching how to do it. But it works perfectly...I wound up running some script somebody wrote and it pretty much did everything for me... not in front of my PC at the moment but if you are still fighting it PM me and I'll give ya everything you need...
