I rooted my Evo a few days ago. I removed some of the factory programs that I did not use and now I want them back. I have 2.3.3 on the phone. I tried to download the rom and install it. I used rom manager and Clockworkmod both and I got a error status 7. Can anyone point me in the right direction to reinstall the factory rom?
Thanks
Have the same issue with mine i cannot get it to load anymore.
Both of you need to go to the development section, then seach for a stock 4.24....rom. Do a full wipe, then flash it in recovery and you'll be set.
I would suggest finding stock PC36IMG flash thru hboot!
Before I get ravaged, I have wandered from thread to thread to thread trying to find answers and unfortunately, everyone's got a different situation, so I'll try and sum it up here.
I have an Epic 4G that I threw the Samsung/Sprint Froyo ROM on as soon as it as available, after which I rooted it, installed CWM 2.5 and called it a day. I've been wanting to upgrade to Gingerbread, but the official EI22 ROM is obviously giving me issues because of root, so I decide, hey, I can try adding on some other ROMs and finally get into this thing.
Now somewhere amongst all this, I have CWM 5.0 installed and my phone is running both older and newer versions and only 5.0 is letting me restore in case I screw up.
So I grab the Gingerbread restore and after wiping my data, restore it. Gets stuck on Samsung logo. Try this a few times, give up, reload my original Froyo image (only after coaxing CWM to load up 5.0 instead of 2.5). Try again tonight with ACS ICS ROM and 2.5, still stuck at Samsung logo. Wipe and try again, same thing.
So my question is: A) would it be better to go back to Odin and try again despite a stable Froyo image, B) how can I eliminate one of these CWMs, C) has anyone else had these issues?
seems like you did a whole bunch of things... probably best to start clean.. odin to stock froyo. then you probably want to root it from there. after that, you can flash the latest cwm, then latest gingerbread rom
when you installed cwm5, did u flash through rom manager or through recovery?
I honestly just downloaded CWM from Marketplace and I found out how I was able to access it: it's a zip in my Clockwork folder. Once I "install" that, it loads into 5.0 and that's how I've been able to work, but it never updates CWM, I have to keep having to boot into it from the zip.
well u have cwm2,5 u said... try booting into cw, (three fingers) and flash the zip. but maybe you can try downloading cwm from the official cwm thread and flash that zip just to be sure

Yeah, every time I try to flash that ZIP, it just opens up 5.0 instead. I'll have to try doing it from scratch.
isnt that what u want??? 5.x.x.x??

Yeah, definitely.
Okay, Odin'ed back to stock Froyo and rooted, loaded on ACS Recovery. This whole process has killed my battery, so I'm going to recharge before trying to load up a new ROM. It seems like it should be easy from here on out...
You should just start over with a fresh install.
Here are the steps. I made this list before CWM 5 was released, but you can get the CWM 5 ODIN .tar file from that thread which was linked a few posts up.

Yeah I ODINed back with ACS Recovery and now I'm running ACS ICS, which is sooooooo awesome. I think I was afraid about having to ODIN back to stock and losing everything. Now I should still have the Froyo image on there, can't I just run between this new one and that?
Thanks, all!
What do you mean by you have acs ics and still have the froyo image?? are you dual booting
Acs ics = rom.

Something similar happened to me earlier.. when you where in the backup/restore menu did you select the "restore from external sd card" option? And if you did and it still didn't work I recommend starting over fresh.. go here and this should allow you to do so. Qbking's awesome :good:.. Follow his steps and he'll have back in action in no time.
Sounds like you didn't root and install a custom recovery. If you can get into download mode, you can flash one of the one-click stock rooms and then give it root access after.

Hey guys/gals,
I recently bought a Koodo Galaxy s2x. After a few weeks I looked online and saw that there were some JB Roms for my phone. I couldn't resist and tried to flash one after rooting. I didn't have many problems with it, but there were some glitches that started to bug me, so I decided to see about going back to stock (I should have done this first I know). So then after hours(many) of searching, the best I could find was a T-Mobile stock Rom I decided to try and flash it (both times via odin). I also read somewhere that I should use darkside superwipe to clear my cache, so I tried that, but ever since that CWM stopped working on my phone. anytime I tried to do any back up or anything it just froze, and I had to hard boot. Finally I just tried flashing T-Mobile stock ICS, and Odin said "Failed". I decided to just unplug my phone, as I thought I already screwed it up, but after rebooting, the T-mobile Rom worked. I don't understand why it works fine if the Flash Failed. Now, I can no longer connect to kies (I'm hoping official JB will be shipped soon!), and I am wondering if I can somehow return to a stock Koodo Rom, and if it will connect to Kies again, as it previously had. I have looked a lot and have not found anything that I fully understand. I'm not overly experienced, which is why I should not have flashed to begin with. This is the closest thread I have found to help me, but I don't fully understand what all I need to do:
"Haven't seen anyone shared this yet.
Here's the KOODO ICS 4.0.4 stock ROM I used CWM to flash to stock after I tried the custom ROM.
h t t p s : / / sourceforge.net/projects/koo...d.zip/download
I also flashed DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIDE before I flashed this or you can used CWM Recovery 6.0.1.2 to wipe system and cache."
Is it possible for me to get back to stock phone? and still connect to Kies? and then possibly upgrade to JB through Kies if Hercules ends up receiving it?
Thanks for any help you can give me. Here is all my current phone info incase this helps:

SGH-T989

Thanks.
If your ultimate goal is to get Jellybean on your phone, check the development section of this subforum. There are numerous stable and wonderful JB roms (AOKP Milestone 6, Liquid Smooth, CM10).
To get back to your stock ROM, download it from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/koo...d.zip/download
Then, go into recovery (NOT odin), and flash the rom.

That link doesn't work, it says cannot find page. Also, my phone is currently not rooted, does it have to be rooted to flash from recovery? if not what do I do to flash from recovery? I know how to get into recovery, but after that do I use 'apply update from external storage'? Do I have to wipe the cache first?
Thanks.
PS: I just want to be able to get back to stock for now. At least until I learn more about flashing Roms. There is still lots for me to learn, like kernels, radios, Nightly's for official Roms, or even how to properly flash a rom without feeling lost. If I know a way to get back to stock comfortably, It will give me more reason to try some other Roms (once I learn how).
Here is a working link to the stock Koodo ROM: http://sourceforge.net/projects/koodostock/files/KOODO_SGH-T989D_Stock_Signed.zip/download
Are you running a custom ROM right now or your stock ROM? If you're running a custom ROM, it should come with root privileges. If you are running the stock ROM, you can just back it up instead of needing to download the zip from sourceforge. This guide will help you get rooted: http://galaxys2root.com/t-mobile-galaxy-s2/how-to-root-icsgb-on-t-mobile-galaxy-s2-sgh-t989/. After rooting, get into recovery mode (if you can't get the button combinations to work, there is an app. called quick boot which reboots you into recovery/bootloader/etc). If you don't have a recovery or it's corrupt, download ROM manager from google play, and choose the 'install clockwork recovery'. Reboot to recovery to make sure it works, then uninstall rom manager (it's been known to cause bugs if you use it for other things - and I'd recommend other recoveries such as TWRP but it's a bit more advanced). From your recovery's screen, there should be a backup option. Make a complete backup and name it something appropriate. To flash a ROM, download it and put it on your storage drive. Reboot to recovery, and go to wipe. Wipe your data (factory reset), and system (only really need to wipe data in most cases, but be safe). To flash the custom ROM now (or flash the default ROM I just linked), there should be an option to 'install zip from sd card' or something similar. Choose that, browse to your ROM and install it. After installing, go to wipe and wipe your cache+dalvik cache, then reboot. There are several beginner guides sticked in the development forum, along with explanation of terms like radio/kernel/nightly/etc.

Thanks a ton... Worked perfectly! I'm hoping it will connect to Kies once again.. I'll let you know if it works.
Unfortunately, I still can't connect to Kies.. It just sits at the Loading status (for like 10-15 mins). But At least I don't have all of the T-mobile apps and stuff anymore!
hi guys and gals i am taking my first steps into the world of rooting my android phone it is a samsung galaxy note II GT-N7105. well thanks to a few giudes found on these forums it was fairly straight froward(even for me mega noob lol) having rooted my phone i wanted to install a clean blank rom (think that the term for it) i found one, from this site, added it to my interntal memory of my phone, then using clock work recovery mod. phone reboots comes up with lots of difrent opion including install from zip, so follow what it said, got the installed sucessfuly, hit the restart/reboot opion phone boots up and then comes up with android is updating 1 of 84 when it gets to 84 it boots into stock rom with everything still there. having looked around and finding MSKIPS post and His F.A.Q i saw this... I flashed CWM but each time I reboot the Stock Recovery is back
There is an auto recovery restore system on Android that will reflash the Stock Recovery if you flash CWM on a Stock Rom.
Use Root Explorer to Mount the system folder as R/W (or use a free app from the Market). Delete the file recovery-from-boot.p from /system.
so i though ah that must be the problem, at least i now know what to do about it, so i first tryed to rename the file in question, no joy still booted to stock. i then tryed to delete the whole file, it deleted and its still deleted but yet same again, reboot.. oh look android is updating. anything else that i could try? thanks inadvance
