Looking to put my wifes Inc 2 back to stock. We just got the phone from verizon via replacement for bricking hers during the new software update. As soon as I got it I had it rooted. Now, the camera will not work at all. So before I go back to Verizon I really need to get it back to stock. So I checked the Inc 2 Dev forum and didnt see anything but the ChinaCom update. I need the VZW WWE stock 2.3.4 So if anyone could point in the right direction, thatd be fantastic. Ive also tried flashing 4 separate ROMs and 3rd party camera apps, it just FC's. So Im going to take it back AGAIN and see what theyll do for me.
Thanks!
Try here for the RUU

Scroll to the near end of the thread, I believe this is the latest version he posted in early November:
RUU_Vivo_W_Gingerbread_S_VERIZON_WWE_4.08.605.3_Radio_1.09.01.0722_NV_VZW1.92_release_212888_signed. exe
There really should be more of an ability to reset to factory, literally.
It's nice being able to wipe all user data and stuff but the custom rom still remains.
Sometimes people need to return a phone or need to go back to stock to install an OTA update ya know!
But custom roms are generally superior so whatever.

I Agree with this. There's been plenty of times where I have needed to sell or bring the phone back to the store, but without it being TRULY stock, they wont do anything. Plus alot of folks don't want to buy a rooted or S-Off phone becaues it voids the warranty.
There needs to be a way to completely revert to stock. Like it was out of the box. As easily as possible.

I just did the root, nand, and radio
However I didn't know that I was going back to 2.1
What are the cons of 2.1 vs 2.2 and how long usually before there is an updated rooted 2.2?
Thanks
2.2 is out officially??? Where/how can I/we get it?
It just automatically downloaded when I got my phone yesterday. Now I'm wondering if I should go back and update and wait then re root later or just wait.
Are you sure you had 2.2? Where did you get your phone? What is your hardware version?
Positive I had it. I got it at walmart yesterday. As soon as I activated it downloaded like three updates.
I was using flash etc.

Flash lite?
Flash works with 2.1 also (at least on the evo)
I'm not really sure. I just know it said 2.2 and not 2.1.
also my hardware is 2.2
I wish I would've known I would've backed up before rooting. I didn't see any reason since the phone was new with nothing on it.
I just checked and it said no updates available.
So in order to go back to stock all I have to do is reflash with the stock rom. Just throw it on sd and flash as normal?

Just flash RUU from your computer.
Settings > About > Hardware, your Hardware Version is 2.2, NOT 002 or 003?
no its 002 sorry running on two hours of sleep here.
Ok i'm going to try to go back to stock then upgrade.
at least I know I can root it again. maybe faster next time too.
well I unrooted and got some prl updates but no firmware
here goes
Take the battery out of the for about 5 sec then put the battery back in and go in to recovery and try reflashing the rom that work for me
One of three things happened..
You are either have a nexus one and are in the wrong forum..
Are mistaken that you had 2.2 prior to root..
Or you're just trying to mess with everyone..
2.2 is not out in any way officially on any HTC phone, so you couldn't have had it. And no, you couldn't have been the only person in the country to have accidentally gotten it somehow.
Can i get the link for the orginial unrooted froyo 2.2???

If I'm not mistaken, there isn't really an "original" download link. You'd have to go to your phone's manufacturer for a stock ROM customized to their specs or you could always grab a copy of Froyo's source code and compile your own beast.
Someone correct me if I am wrong please....
I always keep getting Android acore process close and I tried factory reset it dident work so i wanna reflash froyo

Oh I get it. Well, I'm no expert by any means but if you're fully rooted, have a recovery flashed and are flashing different ROMs onto your phone you'd want to be sure you're wiping data/cache/dalvik to minimize any potential issues. I've seen a few people with Acore issues using ADW Launcher. Is that what your exact problem is? Reason why I ask is because there are LOTS of different threads with people helping others troubleshoot Acore issues in ADW.... use the search button for more information.
If you're interested in flashing an unrooted Froyo ROM keep in mind you're going to lose root if you go that route and that there is no way to root the OTA HTC update at the moment (which means once you flash to unrooted Froyo you're stuck there until a dev root's it). The easiest way to go back to original, unrooted Froyo for the HTC EVO 4G is to go to Settings > System Update > HTC update.
I hope this helps you.
I already downlaod froyo via ota and i dont have adw i have nothing just the new froyo and it keeps force closing i have no root nothing and i dident have root before either

Well if that's the case then maybe there is something going on with your phone physically. If you're running a stock phone and it's putting out that many FC's I'd be hard-pressed to take it back and ask for an exchange. That's just me though.
I flashed the rooted 3.36.651.3 ROM when it came out. Now that .6 is out, and 2.2 has been rooted can I accept the .6 OTA? I am not sure what will happen.
I am fully rooted and unlocked. Will I retain root? I prefer not to wipe my phone if I dont have to. Thanks for helping a confused noob!
You're better off flashing the rooted version of .6 instead of doing the OTA. The OTA will unroot you unless you have Unrevoked Forever, but even then, why risk it? Even if you did do the OTA, you COULD unroot, but that would be more of a "oh, crap, I screwed up, at least I can fix it" way of doing things. I'm not super-familiar with what UF actually does, but definitely don't do anything without installing that and switching to S-OFF. Then you can try the .6 OTA. If it works, great. If not, you'll have to use the new root method (and wipe your phone anyway) to downgrade, then you'll HAVE to flash the rooted version or another custom ROM after that to get up to 2.2 again.
Thats what I figured too. I wasnt sure if the OTA would leave the su and various pieces in place or what... Is it safe to flash the .6 rooted over .3 rooted? Suggestions on which version? I prefer to stay as close to stock as I can. Thanks for the quick reply.
^^What he said^^ Here's one:

If you want stock, use the stock version. There's one odexed and one deodexed. Don't ask what the difference is, there's already answers to that around. Use the wiki link at the top of each forum to find all the ROMs.
As for flashing up to a new version without wiping, that's up to you. Within the same version (stock to stock) it should be okay, but if you're switching to a custom version, you have to wipe. I do anyway just to make sure there aren't fragments or anything lying around that will screw things up. I'm cautious like that.
netarchy recommends doing a full wipe first. Has anyone done an upgrade over .3 successfully? There also appear to people experiencing issues toward the 56th page.... that was my initial concern in why I was asking about the OTA.
cool, I will flash the one Jim M linked. I have been lurking it for a while. Thanks!
after i rooted last night, i tried to update to the ota, and keep root then, i could download the file, but it would not install, started to, but froze everytime, tried it a few times, and just said forget it.

I was just going to ask that. So I went to the wiki ansd got:
Create the page "Deodexed" on this wiki!
I did a search and came up with:
Search: Keyword(s): deodexed ; Forum: HTC Supersonic: EVO 4G and child forums Showing results 1 to 25 of 170

deodexed = you can change things, such as themes, more easliy transported and packed smaller or changed.
odexed = basic stock
That's it in a nutshell from a nut.

Is that you with the bottle in your hand? I think I'll stop at Outback and grab a beer and burger on the way home.
Thanks for all the responses. I was able to use the update and flash right over .3 and now .6 still rooted! I used titanium & rom manager to backup everything in case I needed to roll back. Its been a day without any issues.
Once you root a phone, is possible to go back to a fully stock rom?
backstory:
not long after the s3 was released, i rooted it.
a month or so later, i went back to a stock rom.
what i noticed, my phone never seemed to update to the latest releases.
doing it wrong?
You can Odin back to 100% stock unrooted if you really want. The download link is in the Android Development thread. It has the latest update available both rooted and not. Fact is, there's not much reason to give up root for an OTA as a stock release will be available here within a day or two - sometimes hours. And if you're worried about your carrier if you had to turn the phone in, they really don't care. Just get rid of the custom ROM if you can.

Why would you want to is a better question?
Aside from returning for warranty, I see no reason to ever unroot!

Tried one of the custom ROMs on here, no real issues.
Tried CM10 and it was a total cluster-fok.
Only reason I liked being rooted was tethering and adblocker.
Hello!
So currently I'm looking for some advice on where to go from here. I bought my SM-n910v DE directly from Samsung because I wanted the unlocked boot loader right from the get-go. Once I got it, I decided to root it. I don't exactly remember the exact method to root, I believe it may have been with an app.
Since then, I have not taken any OTAs and so I am still on 4.4! I don't know what disabled the OTA, or if I needed to activate it somehow since I didn't buy the phone from Verizon, and perhaps there was a step I missed when I activated it with them. Either way, I have enjoyed my Note 4 a ton. I like being on 4.4 since I know it'll function as expected and I had read some people talking about later releases being not so great on the Note 4 particularly so I decided to not worry about the OTAs and stay on KitKat.
So I was trying to do some research on perhaps customize it a bit more, and so when I tried a few steps, and I booted into recovery (vol up + home + pow), the blue text above booting into recovery did appear, but then when the green droid first appears, the phone seems to reset itself back into the green droid again, again. It is as if recovery mode (starting with the pic of the green droid with its belly open) restarts again, and again and again. Never getting passed the green droid.
I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to what to do about the OTAs. What is the safest path to a good stable release? do I need to un-root prior to taking an update? Do I have to do updates in succession? Can I even take an OTA with root? will that break things?
also about the loop I'm experiencing. What could it be? If I revert back by attempting to flash a stock firmware, or something, will I need to re-root? Would I need to try? Since I can't even get into recovery, can I even revert?
Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for this forum and the awesome people that help in here!

I would think that yes, you will have to unroot and then I would take it to a Verizon store and ask them to flash it. I know Sprint will. I had a bad ota. They fixed it free as well. I can tell you that 6.0.1 is solid. This one is rooted and running 7.1.1 not bad either. Whatever you decide to do, good luck!

Thanks for the response. I might have to end up going and have them just flash it. I was wondering if I could avoid going over there. If perhaps there was a way to reset the phone through Odin or something. Glad to know 6.0.1 is solid as well! cheers!:good:
