[rom] basic stock rom

Here's a basic stock rom in case you need it sometime
the only modifications made are the su and flash_image binaries are included and ro.secure has been turned to 0 so you can adb remount.
How to flash download the rom from here
Place rom on sdcard
wipe data and all else
then flash rom
reboot and do what you need to do

Cool, you never know when you might need this.

Thank you! Appreciated.

How is this comparable to the rom listed here?
bit ly backslash fBEJnU
I want to have a known working recovery before I make any more changes to my phone. I am not exactly a newbie to this stuff (I have a Pandigital Novel that has been rooted and hacked into a nice tablet) but this is taking things to a whole new level for me and I need my phone. So I'm a bit nervous.
Of course I really wish I'd asked around some before I got to work on removing some of the stuff on it already (mostly known junkware from Virgin Mobile and stupid stuff like weblinks pretending to be native apps) after rooting it with superoneclick and installing root explorer. I need to know if your rom or the one I linked to will be able to allow me to roll back to a default installation that I can revert to if there are any issues down the road. Can you help me?
I apologize if this isn't the right place for this question. Thank you for the many mods I have seen you do already. I look forward to trying them once I have a fallback plan.

I'm not actually sure what your talking about but I've posted this on three different sites so far. I do that for the guys that don't go to other forums. There probably isn't any difference in the roms.

I'm talking about the one by takehull posted on sdx-developers here.
Yours is not exactly stock since you added su and flash_image binaries--or does that really not matter?
Thanks for the reply.

I'm not sure exactly how his is different since I didn't build it. I'm gonna guess and say his probably doesn't have the binaries in it, I'm not sure exactly how his is different since I didn't build it. I'm gonna guess and say that his doesn't have the binaries in it. I don't know. Honestly the only way to know for sure that it's stock rom is to get someone that hasn't rooted yet flash the recovery and get a backup of system. I've been waiting for someone like that to come along but ... It hasn't happened yet.
I won't tell you which forums to watch but I'm partial to xda cuz I been on here since my first android phone and it doesn't have those flash ads that pop up cover your entire screen until you click the x.

Well upon further re-reading the other thread I saw this posted:

The only modifications this has are the two binaries that you put into /system/bin when you root. You can remove them by using Superoneclick Root and selecting "unroot."

My only excuse is that it was late when I found the thread and I wasn't reading clearly. Going by that statement his rom and your rom basically seem to be the same things.

Forgive my ignorance, but isn't rooting actually a requirement of obtaining the backup? Or did I misread the instructions somewhere? It'd be nice if someone at Virgin Mobile were to leak the complete rom somewhere so people had a fall back option besides trying to return the phone as bricked. (If that's even possible?)

Sounds like a good reason to pick a forum. Not sure if I'm a member of any places that do that since I run with adblock and noscript enabled most of the time.
Any chance you could link me to written instructions on how to flash the rom you have here? I know you have video tutorials but those are harder to follow for me because I am hard of hearing. Music I can do because it is "beautiful noise" and I can usually find some lyrics to get the words of. Your video HOWTOs are not good for me because I have to strain to hear what is being said.
Thanks again for your time and patience in replying to me.

Thanks. Dude above me, there is a rom flashing tutorial at prepaidandroids.net. We will help you out there. Its a site that specializes in on the Optimus v itself.
(Optimus V - Contracts Suck)

Thanks for posting this. It just came in handy when I was changing my virgin phone number. Part of the process is dialing ##841446# to bring up the activation menu, but the ## prefix on CM7 does not work, apparently only a stock ROM can do that.

Any way to put it on a phone friendly site? No matter what browser I use on my phone it will not download from google docs.

THANKS, this worked perfectly.
It's pretty much as described, a stock Opt V rom, with Super User already set up and installed.
Titanium worked on it no problem as well.

thanks a ton man! i needed to flash back to stock to get my 3G working again. if you flash a custom rom while youre between payments, you know, during down time, you may need to flash back to stock and run the activation app next time you put service on your phone.
worked like a charm. i thought my 3G was broken. im doing a happy dance now!

Anyway I can get a link to the stock rom with all the bloatware removed but not rooted?

[DEV] Root the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II (actual Development only! no Chatting)

Let's get things started over here.
While we wait for the kernel source from Samsung, we can grab some basic information about the phone and use it to get things rolling.
I have the Sprint GSII, but I'm very prominent in that area as well.
Note: USB Debugging has to be enabled to run any adb commands.
Anybody with ADB if you would be so kind as to run:
Code:
adb shell mounts > mounts.txt
and then upload mounts.txt in your adb folder, that would be an amazing thing right about now.
Also somebody with some good internet speeds I would love to have a dump of the system and mounts.
Make a new folder (called SGH-T989-dump) from where you run adb and run the following command:
Code:
adb pull / /SGH-T989-dump
then please compress the SGH-T989-dump folder and upload it for me to use in future endeavors.
Thanks guys.

Information about rooting the Samsung Galaxy S II:
The Galaxy S II is immune to exploits unless it is those of an unsecured kernel. To have an unsecured kernel however, we have to compile from source, against a source that hasn't yet been released (as of this post).
Root can be maintained in the kernel or in the ROM, either or.
ClockworkRecovery Mod can be easily ported over to this device once I have a dump as described above and the output of all the commands above.

dump: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21231693/T989odex.zip
as far as that 'mounts' command... i don't think that's gonna work without root.

I've uploaded everything to my website:
for anybody that wants to take a look.

Hey, if you want we can setup a go to meeting remote session and do anything you need remotely that way you can get exactly what you need from my phone and at the same time I can learn something.
I just got my T-Mobile Galaxy S2 and have not even put the sim card in it.
If you like this idea email me at:
[email protected]
Thanks.

Much Needed
It seems like given how much bloatware there is on the T-Mobile version, it seems like Rooting is an absolute necessity for this particular device. The Sprint version at least lets you uninstall all that crapware.
This is a BIG THANK YOU to all of those working on getting a root done for this device.
If there is anything I can do to help (I'm a bit of a n00b but I can at least try), please don't hesitate to let me know.

luckyduck69 said:
well.. i'll put it this way guys. i've 4 top devs remote into my machine and look at the phone and try various things. all of them have said that root will not happen unless samsung drops source. so... you're in a waiting game just hoping that samsung will be gracious enough to give it to you.
as far as that goes... you should talk to some prior samsung owners how that works. i honestly can't believe (based on sever prior samsung experiences) that source will arrive before 6 months from now. probably closer to a year. so that's the bitter hard truth of the outlook right now. if you're still in buyer's remorse period might wanna use it.

I didn't say that.. I said put a damn device in my hand and I've got a method which, based on previous models, has a 99% chance of success. That 1% is if UART debugging is not present.

UART!
If that does not work, then I'd go inside the device and locate the pre-FSA9240 chip UART lines, connect to them and exploit the battery charging sequence root prompt.
btw.. that video is old. I found a method and the captivate is now a development platform

Are you using it or are you just stating that it's cool? I'm betting that it will take at least a few days to get the parts together.

To figure out which partition the kernel is, and also as an initial "can heimdall even talk to this thing" test, someone needs to install heimdall, enter download mode, and run the following:
Code:
heimdall print-pit
And put the output here.
Preferably someone who is already familiar with heimdall. Download mode is USUALLY accessed as follows:
Turn off device
Hold VolUp + VolDn
Insert USB

Again i wish i was home if for some reason nobody does this throughout today i will when i get home. I am not a dev bit also a quick learner and willing to help in any way possible

[Q] Recovery Image?

Hey guys, on the Forums
As maybe some of you know, I'm hosting/creating a program, that provides the easiest ways of flashing/ rooting your GNex.
I'm currently making a new all-in-one solution. But for this, I need to know, where the recovery.img file is stored, in the phone's ROM.
Could someone please tell me, where it is stored? It is needed, desperatly... AND PLEASE, NO N00BS!!!!!

it's not part of the rom... have a look at the factory images to get an idea http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html

IT may not be part, of the ROM. But it should still locatable, in the EXT or file system. Otherwise, apps, like ROM Manager, wouldn't be able to flash the image, or back it up. If you know, what I mean. But, if no other answers, are present. I shall stick to your's and I will carry on flashing via fastboot mode.
Thanks for the answer though, it is much appreciated.

As was mentioned, it is not part of the ROM. It is located here:

Yes, I am making an app, but for Windows, not for Android. And this application, is using both: the ADB and fastboot
That's why I was asking, becuase then, I could flash the image permanantly, via ADB. But this will now come in the next update, because, before I got your answer, I already published it... ^^

Quick favour please?

I need someone to pull these files for me....I'm doing some expirement on a another s4 varient and I don't have a T-Mobile version so I want someone to do me this quick favour. Thrry are the nv values of the device if you really want to know...
I have no responsibility for a brick , only do this if you know ehsg you are doing...not saying that I will brick your phone. These commands are an unforgivable....they are case sensitive so watchout!
You must have root And Terminal emulator app from the market to do this.
Code:
Su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of=/mnt/sdcard/modemst1.bin
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/mnt/sdcard/modemst2.bin
Then go to your external sdcard and upload the files for me, modemst1.bin and modemst2.bin
If you are running the google edition ROM thats perfect but it doesn't really matter, I really need the files
Thanks!

Almost over 100 views and no one seems want to help here over in tmobile s4......when I mentioned the brick , it was never that serious its not like you going to brick your phone by just doing this......all you doing is BACKING UP the NV partion of the device. Cmon guys

I posted on general but it was moved to QA, I have no idea why...
I really need those files I'm just waiting to do my next step with the testing....
They are not even that hard to get from the device if you have root and terminal emulator...and they ain't hard to upload either....both if the files are 3mb each afaik for this s4 varient.

[G975U] DISCUSSION on Root/BL Unlock

Hello!
I just picked up a SM-G975U to play with.
Before you get your hopes up, Root and BL Unlock is NOT POSSIBLE on USA variants at this time!
I created this discussion so those willing and able can brainstorm with me with hopes of achieving root or unlock.
Now I wouldnt be creating this thread if I didnt think it was possible or without some form of teasers.
Dont ask me how but flashing combo is possible. I cannot and will not share the method/files as they are not mine to do so.
I noticed on combo this time around if you toggle oem unlock there is a tag that says "OEM Unlocked" when you enter download mode. When you long press vol up it also takes you to the unlock screen. After pressing vol up to accept it reboots and wipes data.
I am not sure the steps after this but so far havent been successful in flashing modified firmware. It is possible this is just a visual but I feel this is closer than any past devices ive owned. Anyone with know how on where the flash lock bit is stored would be of great help.
I should be able to flash some partitions after modifying them such as vbmeta or dtbo etc. to hopefully unlock the BL if I only knew what to modify.
This is not a how-to or dev thread so dont expect me to share any files. It is merely to discuss how the BL is unlocked on SD S10 devices to hopefully lead to an unlock down the road.
To my understanding, toggling the oem unlock sets a bit that tells the system that oem unlocking is allowed as well as disables security such as frp. This persists across reboots and firmware flashes etc.
After that, in DL mode there is a tag that also says device is oem unlocked. At this point you need to actually hold vol up to actually oem unlock the device.
After this I am unclear. We should be able to flash custom firmware at which verified boot state will be orange and the flash lock bit is 0. In my case, verified state is still green and flash lock is still 1 and flashes fail unless officially signed.
I know the dtbo is related to verity and vbmeta to verified boot. Vaultkeeeper to rlc. Then you have metadata, a few "keys" related partitions etc etc.
What is everyones take on this? Any ideas/suggestions are greatly appreciated in advance!

Hey OP I know you from somewhere.... epic touch 4g forums?? I cant remember what device you had but anyways great to see you here. You think maybe chatting with the people that got root on enoxy may point you in the right direction. I know its enoxy and we got SD which is different but maybe a shot?*

haha I did own an epic 4g touch back in the day.. was more lurking way back then but who knows lol
for an update, no luck yet lol. been messin with combo on g975u but no easy way in yet. I have managed to change some stuff on efs and other partitions.
the binary checks sammy implemented starting in the s9 devices sucks.
I am still looking though.

i now have uid 1000 access.. with how selinux contexts and ownership is in pie tho i can only access stuff that is mounted rw and system user/group which so far is cache, carrier, efs, data, qdmdbg and various files spread throughout.
dev block wise i can access persistent, and steady partitions.. other than that i can write to the ones that are already mounted.
uid 1000 is a step in the right direction tho... beats shell 2000 uid

not to mention the method for uid 1000 should be there on any sammy device with combo firmware lol

Hi is there anything i can do to help at all cause if so i am willing i have found some stuff online as well posted it in a different post but can share it here if u are interested

I am definitely interested in learning more and being a part of this convo fellas! I have been in the Bus for at least 8 years now and want to learn the next step which is how to navigate around the S10 S10+ Security Features. Anyone mind showing me a few ropes please?

There is no scripts lol. I can't share the method or files to get to combo.

Try and flash G97500 I know on older devices it would boot if you used flash fire not sure if you can dd it or not Odin probably wont like it but worth a try just make a system tar and flash it but you would also need that combo firmware.

I'm rockin' the s10+ (am g975u)....
I want root!
I will make pwmage!
Stay tuned!

i now have uid 1000 access.. with how selinux contexts and ownership is in pie tho i can only access stuff that is mounted rw and system user/group which so far is cache, carrier, efs, data, qdmdbg and various files spread throughout.
dev block wise i can access persistent, and steady partitions.. other than that i can write to the ones that are already mounted.
uid 1000 is a step in the right direction tho... beats shell 2000 uid

Since you have UID 1000 access, wouldn't you be able to dump the partitions off the phone?
If so, why not dump each of the writable partitions and then compare checksums/bits before and after doing the unlock?

I have the g975u and am willing to help however
