Okay i've been running MIUI forever now, but with all the recent problems and lack of support from the dev i've been forced to give up on MIUI altogether, which really really really angers be, but i have no other choice.
That being said, i just tried to restore to my most recent 'stock' nandroid and when i booted up it kept telling me to upgrade to gingerbread, but if i remember correctly if i do this update i will lose my root..
so can someone point me to the newest rooted stock rom. zip link?
so that i can put it in the root folder of my sd card, boot into recovery and flash it?
and go back to plain old rooted stock ?

I (prematurely) update to the leaked version of the Android 2.2 release. I would like to revert back to 1.47.651.1 so I can install Cyanogen 6 Mod. I am fairly new to working with Android ROMs, but I have tried several things.
1.32.651.1 and .6 RUU's do not work. I get "ERROR [140]: Bootloader Version Error".
1.47.651.1's RUU, refuses to see the phone getting "ERROR [171]: USB Connection Error".
I tried multiple "update.zip" files to no avail. I constantly get "signature verification failed" when I try and revert back to these files (renamed as update.zip):
Supersonic_1.32.651.6_rooted.zip
Supersonic_1.32.651.1_rooted.zip
Evo-Froyo-2.2-Rooted-Stock-Odexed-netarchy-signed.zip
I've also tried PC36IMG.zip and receive a "Main Version Older. Update Failed" error.
Is there any way to revert back to 1.47/1.32.xx or am I stuck on this half-baked version of Android?
quite sure there is no root method for the ota update at the moment.
should have read the post saying to wait for root.
last but not least WRONG SECTION POST THIS IN Q AND A
ROFL 100th one today prob
This belongs in Q&A but...
Did you use the rooted or unrooted OTA update?
If you flashed the rooted version you're screwed until someone roots it.
If you flashed the unrooted version, just reboot into recovery and restore the nandroid I'm certain you made before flashing an updated ROM.
Here's another thread about this problem (also in Development)
Once on 2.2, no root...
If you flashed a rooted version of the latest leak I don't think you should have any problems...
I has Fresh 3.0b2 on my phone (based off of newest OTA, but rooted of course) and I just re-flashed the latest CM6 nightly

Just a heads up, for the sake of confusion. I think you got the rooted and unrooted mixed up....
If you flashed the rooted version, you should be able to restore. If you flashed the UNrooted version, you have to wait for a Root method to be found.
Why flash why are you not doing a nandroid when you flash bell cw ask u and then it restores it just the way it was u know like using ghost on a pc

except that nandroid or not, you flash the UNROOTED OTA you are screwed for now. your nandroid will be there, but it won't be doing much for you if we can't root the new OTA.
Sorry about the wrong section; I was reading under development and I didn't think to switch.
Now just out of plain curiosity, how come the stock RUU will not work? I understand it is a different bootloader version, but doesn't it just install over it?

It doesnt work because HTC is not ****ing retarded. If they allowed it to work, what would be the point of them fixing the exploits that allow root?
The last two OTAs have come with bootloaders that have a concept of a minimum version requirement. It's a method to avoid downgrading. Despite the old OTA being "stock" or "official" or whatever you want to call it, it's a lower version than the minimum your current bootloader requires, meaning it would be a downgrade.
Sorry man, you're gonna have to sit tight while some nice dev bails you out.
Thanks for explaining. I don't mind waiting, I under stood the risks. Only thing is that I didn't quite understand how this part of it worked. Thanks for the explanation.

I'd like to know that as well.
Permission denied when running flash_image through adb.
Does not seem to work on 2.2 FroYo OTA
So if you flashed a rooted rom you can just revert with a NAND backup. Are there any other ways to revert back to a previous version?
Also lets say you go from the currently 2.2 roms back to 1.47, can you then turn around and revert to stock?

If you are rooted, you can do whatever. You can find a zip file of the original rom and just flash it from recovery. I'm not sure if it is possible to downgrade your radios when (I've never tried), but it probably is.

The stock 2.2 rom removes the custom recovery, so you cant use nandroid to revert.

This is why you use the rooted ones posted on XDA.
US Cellular has been promising Froyo for the CDMA Desire since October, and I'm tired of waiting so I'm going to root it and flash a Froyo ROM myself. I read through the unrEVOked documentation, and it mentions that if I want to install official updates in the future I need to restore the recovery image, but it doesn't tell me how to get it. How do I pull the stock recovery image from my phone so that I can flash it back on should I need to?
You can't actually backup a whole rom without rooting first. You need the custom recovery to do a nandroid backup which will back up the whole rom. If anything does go wrong or you need to reinstall then you can just use an RUU to do it. US Cellular doesn't have an RUU yet but you can use other CDMA RUU's.
So am I to understand that there is no way to back up the stock recovery, as I would have to overwrite the existing recovery just to do backups in the first place?
Yep, root access is needed to back the whole ROM up
To be honest, it's better with root anyway and a lot better when you install a custom rom.... from my experience anyway.
Hi
I'm desperately looking for any Bell mobility stock 1.34.666.5 or Over.
The camera button is not working so I sent my phone to repair but they send it back because I do not have the right rom that was provided with my phone. I was able to unroot and put back 1.34.666.1 (the only one that is available it seems) but the technical support told me that my phone shipped with 1.34.666.5 and that they can't do anything unless I'm putting back this rom.
I tried getting OTA updates for 1.34.666.1 but it's not available. Minimum rom # to get OTA updates have to be 1.34.666.5
I'm screwed.
Regards
I have a nandroid backup of the stock ROM...it's rooted though.
Will I be able to flash using Clockwork Recovery? I can manage to remove root after flashing, I think.
Yes, flashable via Clockwork.
I'll let you know when I have it uploaded.
...and it's up.
https://xda:[email protected]/_xda/Bell.DZ.Stock.ROOTED.7z
Some notes:
- I only included the system and boot portions of the nandroid backup due to privacy concerns
- As such, you should do a system and boot restore (after a full wipe, of course) under "Advanced Restore"
- As mentioned earlier, this is rooted (so you'll need to unroot)
Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.
Good news, I have been able to return to stock 1.34.666.5. Thank you very much for your backup.
I was thinking going unrooted was to be easy but i'm a little bit stuck.
How can I unroot and put back stock bootloader without flashing a new rom.
If I have to flash a new rom, is there a way to build one based on the backup you provided?
I've look at software update and there's an OTA update available for my phone. I tried to install but because I do not have the right bootloader (I think that's the problem) I'm unable to do the OTA update.
Thanks.

That's good to hear. I'd recommend making your own nandroid backup immediately.
As for the bootloader, you're sure you flashed the ENG HBOOT during the rooting process? If that's the case, I'm not sure where you can find the stock HBOOT...
Yes, I installed the Eng HBoot.
I'm trying now renaming the OTA update.zip, put on the root of sdcard and make recovery to install that update but I got an error about getprop CID?? and the update failed...
Still looking for a solution.
How did you make out Tonkadan? I'm in the same boat. I heard that if you did apply this update that you would not be able to root your phone anymore.
I' still rooted. I'm unable to go back to stock. I'm using cyanogenmod 7 for now but would really want to go back to stock if somone have the official Bell rom over 1.34.666.5.
... Or any way to get OTA updates for RUU 1.34.666.1 that is available on shippedroms.com
If my S3 is stock rom but rooted with cwm recovery loaded, will I be able to get the AT&T OTA JB update once it rolls out with no issues? I understand I might lose root, but is that it? I know it will be a couple more months, just want to be sure the phone will be able to get this with no issues when the time comes.

From what I understand, you need the stock recovery in place for OTA updates, otherwise they will fail. Which makes sense.
Ok that makes since, so closer to go time I can just put the stock recovery.img on there right?? Is it that simple?

flash to stock via Odin, so yes...
-Ryan
Or you could just wait until the update drops and somebody posts a stock rooted version and update it through Odin.
Ok so have to flash the stock rom itself and not just the recovery. I have only really used an older Galaxy S1 to mess with flashing and stuff and never cared about the apps and everything, just would put a rom on there and when needed put it back to stock(borrowed it for a couple months). So if I do a titanium backup of apps+system data I can flash the stock rom, I assume root again and then restore the apps? let it update and Im done, or assuming the stock At&T JB rom is available on XDA I can just flash it on there, root and restore from titanium? Those are the 2 options if I want to stick with stock right?

Right, but it's not usually recommended that you install apps+data with TiBu; better to just install apps only.
-Ryan
Got ya, I do a backup with apps and data to be safe, but you can just restore apps only from that right?

You can. Though could also just let the Play Store redownload your apps for you.
I rooted my phone then used CWM RomManager to make a backup image of the rooted stock rom. Then put KitKat on the phone. Since then I have restored the Rooted stock Rom. Now every time the phone boots I get the Upgrading Android message and the phone is kind of buggy. I am having trouble finding instructions anywhere on how to get it back to complete stock. If someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
Thanks
What stock AT&T rom were you running when you created the backup?
Oh I guess I should have mentioned that huh.. it was 4.3
Have you tried flashing the 4.3 update.zip file you can find in the developers forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387423.
I feel like you ought to be able to copy the 4.3 zip file to your SD Card and flash via recovery and it should work, although I haven't tried it so I can't be sure.
