Please Help Me Right Away..Please

Hello and thank you for looking at this, i have an epic unrooted that i updated to 2.2 with an update.zip. My epic usb is broken and i need to exchange it and they won't take it with 2.2 on it. I need an update.zip that puts my epic back to 2.1 stock. I need to be able to put it on my sd card and update through recovery. Like i said i don't have root. Please help me! Thank you in advance.

Theres a thread about how to return your phone to stock with odin, also check the wiki. Your best bet is to flash through odin to di18, our dg27, either works...

This Tread may be your savior...Good luck

Oh also you might need to change the the file name to update in order to flash it in the stock recovery.

I did this when I first went to FROYO ( forgot who's post I got it from) If you have the factory ROM just rename name it... update.zip and try that, it worth a shot

i gave him that link earlier
he doesnt have clockwork installed

Easy fix man, break a battery pin off so the phone doesn't power on, and take it back saying it just died. They won't be able to boot it to check the rom at that time and should in store replace it with a refurb. I have done this once, when they didn't want to replace mine for screen wobble.

You could also intentionally flash a file that shouldn't have be flashed, to stick the phone at the boot logo.
Without being able to boot, they cannot reveal what rom is 'running'

Just get a 12-24VAC power brick, like one used on a sprinkler timer. Drag the 2 bare leads from the output around the contacts on the back of the phone for battery, sdcard, antennas, etc... It'll roast the **** out of everything inside of the phone. They'll never know what ROM was on it after that.

So I did something stupid....

I switched back to sprint since they made me an offer i cant refuse and I was getting ready to get my phone put back on sprint and i just realized I lost my micro SD card that i had my stock sprint recovery on.... does anyone have a link to the bone stock sprint rom? I need to reinstall that and start back over....
also I used unrevoked so i have the clockwork recovery how do i switch that to AmonRA

Download OTA #7 updated, stock rom, rooted.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/PC36IMG.zip
Download that file, place on the root of your sdcard, then boot into the bootloader, accept update, reboot, then you'll be on amon_ra.

thanks.... now I just gotta find a good kernel now.... i got the sprint oem kernel running now... I just need to find something that runs good with both the stock sprint and king rom shift unleashed... Ill probably go back to netarchy thats been the most stable for me so far on other roms. I can tell sprint is hurting for customers.... they gave me a 1 year contract, 2 LG Optimus S, and 500 dollars in credit... so basically I have a 10 month contract.

Nice...and from what I here, netarchy kernels work well on sense roms.

Just noticed netarchy is a 2.2 and king Rom is 2.1 so I don't think they will work
Guess I'm on the hunt for a 2.1 kernel now that's like netarchy.. got my des app working again

Well my evo is in the sprint system and i can make and recieve calls but I have no web or MMS, I think the revol wireless settings are still in. I need an OTA update to update everything... only problem is I cant get OTA updates i think the revol wireless PRL is messing with my sprint OTA updateability... or some junk...
tried to flash a 60677.zip PRL via recovery but Amon Ra recovery popped an error about a script.
Anyone else taken their evo to one provider and have to change it back to sprint?

You can't flash prl in recovery, unzip it, put it on the root of your sdcard, type ##775# in the dialer, enter your MSL, choose update prl, choose the prl, click okay, hit menu, choose commit modification, reboot then update profile

Did you download the rom from here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038701 If not, that's the one I would try first.
It kind of sounds like you may have a bad download, either that or you may have accidentally downloaded the system dump instead of the flashable rom? With the file on your computer, are you able to open it up using windows, or does it give you an error? If you're sure you downloaded the right one and that the file isn't corrupted, then I'm not sure. What recovery are you using to flash the rom?

update to 4.22.651.2
I think its clockwork 2.0. I am using stock rom but i rooted using unrevoked. that was the site i downloaded the zip from. im going to retry, I will let you know what happens.
Thanks

If it still fails after you try again, consider switching to Amon_Ra recovery. On the whole it seems like there are a lot more people experiencing flashing problems with Clockwork recovery than with Amon_Ra.

Does this update wipe your phone or only do the update? I don't want to lose my information on my phone. Please let me know. Thanks.

It depends
If your rooted and you are flashing through recovery, then yes you need to full wipe to install it.
If you arent rooted, and you recieve the OTA through HTC software update, then no, it should keep everything the same.
But a couple people I know updated via OTA and there phone is actin real weird now. Jus a word of caution

Ok. Thanks. I am rooted.

Yeah u need to wipe, but if you got titanium backup, u can recover your apps and your phone is synced with google, u can recover your contacts, and if you dload sms backup and restore, you can recover your text messages, the only thing you cant recover is mms. But u can just save all ur mms pics.
Edit- oh yeah ur voicemails will be gone too. Unless you use google voice

[Q] Unbrick GN2 (Firmware upgrade encountered an issue)

Before you guys read this thread, let me just go ahead and say that i AM in fact a XDA noob... so dont hate. I didnt come here for that, but i came for help. Now, i did notice that there were alot of people having similar problems as i was. And yes, i did read all those threads. BUT, the only difference was, they got that error while trying to unroot. I was trying to root mine. I simply tried flashing CWM (and yes i made sure it was the correct flash as well) and it failed. Tried rebooting the phone, and i got that error. I am honestly freaking out right now as to if i have lost my phone or not, so i wouldnt appreciate hate in the comments, that would not help. So please help if possible... Is there a way to fix this?

We're you on stock Rom. How did you try a put CWM on your phone?? Odin??
Best way to install a recovery is Odin or goo manger!!
If you can get the phone into download mode then you can just flash back to your stock firmware...
Unless you flashed the wrong recovery on your phone. Then your in store for brick city.

thanks, i was actually on odin. But i think i found the solution. You see, when i was trying to find a solution on my own, i accidentally ended up installing a verizon rom on my phone which is att. (i didnt know it was verizon) The rom works, but i cant use mobile data, because its not a verizon SIM card. However, i managed to install TWRP recovery with goomanager, and from that i will attempt to install the JediXP14 custom rom. Strangely, it seems the phone is rooted even though i was told it failed. I will let you know on the progress, should be done in an hour or so.

Oh boy..... I smell brick city.. You better be careful what ur doing with Odin... If u are flashing stock firmware in Odin it flashes the radio with it....

Ok guys, i SOMEWHAT resolved the issue. But there are alot better ways of doing it, i was just forced to do it the following way:
The only flash rom i could get to go in through odin was a Verizon rom. It was basically the stock Note 2 rom for verizon.
Now the only problem with this, is that obviously, my phone is ATT and this is a Verizon rom, but it WILL work, but with an exception. Wifi and all will work, you can call and receive messages, but you cannot access the internet via mobile data. So that was another issue that popped up. I tried flashing an att stock rom through odin, but it stayed stuck at "Setup Connection" so that didnt work. The only solution i could think of was to unlock the rom, so i could use data with my ATT sim card. Strangely, the phone thought that it was a Verizon phone when it was an ATT phone, so that was the only option. It required a root but that wasnt a problem. I installed Hidroid off the play store and unlocked it that way, and now everything works fine. There is still an error message in the status bar saying "Non-Verizon SIM" but despite that message, everything still is in working order. If anyone knows what to do once you first get that error message, you could post it below for anyone else having the same problem. And if there is a way to change it back to the normal ATT stock, that would be appreciated as well. Thanks

Maybe you just need to flash att modem with ril for your device. Scroll down and dload the one for att then flash using cwm or twrp. After flashing modem try flashing att rom again via Odin.

Ok guys I resolved the problem. But it took more steps than it needed. This is for people who accidentally flashed the wrong type of recovery to your phone (example, gt-1700 version of cm what on sgh-I317) I'll be renaming this thread if I can. So here's all the steps I took. Now keep in mind that I didn't exactly know what I was doing so I kind of learned on the way, like I said in the beginning of this thread, I am a noob, and I admit such.
1. Install any rom that is in md5 format (preferably with your carrier modem but anything will do) I used a verizon rom. I can't exactly provide a link given my user status though, but I will when I can.
2. If you don't have wifi and downloaded rom under incorrect modem, then download hidroid on the play store and unlock it. It should be simple once getting the app. This will allow you to use mobile data. You'll need it.
3. Download goomanager
4. Press menu button
5. Install open recovery script
Now you should have TWRP installed on your device.
6. Install any custom rom compatible with your device, but make sure it comes with the correct modem as your phone originally had.
7. Flash it through TWRP (make a backup first)
You should be done from there. Now I don't recommend this. There has to be an easier way, so it would be great if anyone could provide that below. But the steps above are the steps I took. Thanks

Easiest is flash att rom thru odin then reboot into recovery factory reset then let phone boot up.

[Q] Networks not working; can't flash new rom with no connection

I rooted this Sprint 4.1.2 Galaxy S III with Samsung_Galaxy_S3_ToolKit_v7.0. But, as that program did not have the option for 4.1.2, I chose 4.1.1. This apparently was a huge mistake, as I now cannot turn on wifi and my data doesn't seem to work either. I have factory reset but to no avail.
I also tried re-rooting with ( honai-android.blogspot.com/2013/05/how-to-root-galaxy-s3-sprint-sph-l710.html ), but that did not work either.
I am very new to Android, let alone rooting. Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks!

No that's a common problem when using the toolkit as opposed to doing the old fashioned way. Has nothing to do with android version as they both root exactly the same. Your going to have to reflash a rom in order to correct it.
Try this first dial ##72786# from the phone earlier to force activation.
Any custom TW rom or you can use Freezas stock rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43722306 this is a rooted stock sprint md4 rom. Download the rom to a computer put it on sd card and flash.

GooManager you don't need an app to download or flash a rom. All roms have their own thread with their download link. I gave you the link to the thread just go to the main post and download the rom and flash it through recovery.
Did you try the dialer code to force reactivation of network? I doubt that will work but it's worth a shot.
If you happened to use one of those real bad toolkit which doesn't install a custom recovery here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Soapch0c5U&feature=youtube_gdata_player this should get you all set up.
