[Q] Return to COMPLETE Stock? - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

Ok so i need to send my inc 2 in for a refurb. I am currently running AOKP build 37 with aeroevans v9ics kernel and an unlocked BL. How do i return to complete stock unrooted?
i've seached all over the forum and can't find anything. It was easy with my droid x2 because you could just run the SBF with RSD Lite.
I also have the new software version 6.1 if thats any help.

Your running AOKP right now right? According to your first post you are anyways. That means your not running the 6.1 anymore. In other words you should be fine.

hmm never thought about it like that. I guess ill give it a try and see how wise you truly are.

Just tried running the PG32IMG.zip file in bootloader and it didnt work. Still running AOKP. any other ideas. What about an RUU

Hmm. What did it say as it went through the process?

It didnt say anything. It found the PG32IMG.zip file, ran it, and then returned to the bootloader screen. I tried running it again just in-case something weird happened, but same result.
also on a side note im s-on, the 6.1 OTA doesn't allow s-off at this time

I didn't think about that. That could be the issue then. No nandroid backup of your stock ROM right?
I'm thinking the best you can do is find a similar to stock ROM and install that. Most times the service techs don't look to hard at a device to see that it is running a custom ROM.

Great! Use that and then download one of the apps that helps to remove root. One such app is OTA Rootkeeper. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...m9yZy5wcm9qZWN0dm9vZG9vLm90YXJvb3RrZWVwZXIiXQ..
Hopefully that will help.

Taking my phone in to the sprint store tomorrow.. how do i unroot?

So im going to take my phone in to the sprint store tomorrow because the camera is all grainy and messed up now. I tried to wipe it several times but its still grainy. Its probably from cyanogen and all the flashing but i cant tell. What are the steps i can take to go back to stock before i go there? How do i unroot and so on?

Go to the unrevoked site, download the s-on tool, flash in recovery, make sure you become s-on.
Then download a 3.70 RUU in PC36IMG form, or as an exe and then run it.
If you do the exe form, make sure the phone is connected in fastboot before you run.
Read my guide if you used unrevoked 3 I have the links u need. CM wouldnt of caused your cam issues some cams started going bad thats why 0004 got a fix for that.
Also, i have a custom rom flashed in right now.

No, because if you do that, you could be left with s-off, then they'll know you were rooted. That's why you run the s-on first.

NP man all links are there should make it easy as pie. Get the stock RUU PC36IMG.ZIP and the UNREVOKED FOREVER SON ZIP. FLASH THE UNREVOKED FOREVER SON ZIP FIRST IT WILL TURN S ON AND THEN BOOT INTO BOOTLOADER AND IT WILL RUN THE RUU PC36IMG.ZIP .
Make sure you delete them after your back to stock so sprint wont see them on your sd card.
Is much easier if u only do a ruu of the lastest update. U dont need no guide. Only make sure u have sync installed and format ur sd card ones ur done with the process.

It's got the links he needs man plus you have to turn s back on won't do you any good to flash a RUU with it off.
Or flash sprint lovers.. They never noticed me.. And that way you can just flash back afterwards
If you don't turn S on and you flash anything other then stock RUU there is always a chance you will get your warranty voided if they decide to do a hard reset and boot your phone into bootloader they will see it so why risk it.
Do what you want guide has links for you dummy proof lol
Yeah.. im unrooting lol. Its really easy to re-root anyway.

Its a stock rom, for those with s-off. Mainly to get ppl back to stock but rooted, if they desire to.
Is it the chinese - english Stock Rom froyo ?
Just get s-off and tried to flash this rom. Everything went fine but i see no su in programs (( No any root sw wont work. Maybe im doing something wrong ? Ive opened zip and su and busybox is there in xbin folder but no su after rom flashed .
Getting stuck on the htc splash screen any time I try to install this...
I also am getting stuck at the HTC boot splash. I'm kind of new to the custom roms though.
I used fastboot and flashed the boot.img to the boot partition. Then took the /system and repackaged it into a yaffs2 image. Flashed the result to the system partition. Don't know if thats exactly what to do.

You just have to flash it in recovery. Nothing tricky or difficult like what the previous poster described. The instructions for flashing can be found in almost any ROM thread.

I have to return my phone to Verizon because the power/usb cable connection stopped working. I'm downloading this ROM to my sdcard and will flash with this.
Do you think this will be good enough to not void the warranty? I was linked to this: http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php...X-INCREDIBLE-2-(vivow)-ONLY&p=39759#post39759 but I have no way of connecting my phone to a computer to run the commands.
Just attempted to install this using recovery... upon reboot I'm stuck at HTC splash screen. -this seems to have happened to others as well.

are you pressing any buttons to get into recovery? or is it just bootlooping into it? you tried flashing an ruu? on second thought to flash an ruu, dont you need to have a locked, or relocked bootloader? and that requires fastboot, which is in hboot. damn. maybe you can send it off to htc?

Try Flashing a Sense rom with APM, AKA MyOneV RC 3.0, and reboot into bootloader, and try Flashing an RUU

First of all, the rom is fine. It boots fine, it installs fine. The partitions are fine (it has the same updater-script like CM9), so I VERY MUCH DOUBT that the rom deleted your Hboot or anything... Try downloading One V all in one tool and from there select reboot phone in bootloader. see if that helps.
Thanks,

hey guys... thanks for all the help, i din say anything about the new rom doing this... but well i flashed rc3.0 and restored data, that fixed it... and sounding incredibly stupid it seems my battery was low... anyway its fixed now... i'm gonna try flashing paranoid once more when my battery is fully charged...:good:

looks like some prob with SU, it denies root access, tried updating it from play also tried changing default to prompt and allow, still doesn help... i loved the rom but if it doesnt let me make or take calls... well i guess i'll have to wait for the next update...

Need Stock Rom

I had a backup of stock before root but when i tried to back up to it today it gave me a md5 mismatch so i couldnt back up to it. From what I seen in beaups thread that I need to be on a stock rom and stock kernal for his s-off method to work. Is there a stock rom that I could flash to use the s-off method?
I'd like this answered as well. I think andy's stock rom near the bottom of the page works, but I haven't had a confirmation yet. Also wondering if odex versus deodexed versions matter.
Same boat im in just waiting for somebody to say which one we can use when we are already rooted and unlocked. I dont know how my md5's mismatched on my stock before root backup but I can't go back to it so Im kinda stuck here until we get a answer.

I'd test 1.1 but for some reason it won't let me copy the zip over to my phone... Keeps saying the device has stopped working or has been disconnected. Tried many different USB ports.... Going to have to bluetooth it which is going to take even more time...

IF YOU HAVE A BACKUP I HIGHLY SUGGEST STORING THE BACKUP FILE ON YOUR DESKTOP JUST IN CASE!!!!
Boot into whatever ROM you're on ATM.
Browse to your ClockworkMod (or TWRP backup must have an accessible folder for it's backups) using a Root file explorer, which I happen to use "Root Explorer" and open the backup file you just made.
Inside of that will be a nandroid.md5.
Delete that file and reboot into recovery, and try restoring again.

Ok i found it it was under /data/media/clockworkmod/backup but i dont see any files inside of that that are a md5 file im going to look in the data.ext4.tar file and the system.ext4.tar.a. Does any of those ring a bell? i see the boot.img, data.ext4.tar.a, recovery.img, system.ext4.tar.a, and system.ext4.tar.b. Thats all the files inside the backup i made before i rooted.

Full unroot and stock recovery?

Just wondering how i can do this?
Im having over heating problems while video calling(the phone gets so hot it shuts down) and I need to take it back for exchange. If they see super user im dead in the water.

Just delete the super user app. There should be an unroot option in there somewhere. You shouldn't need to worry about the recovery. But I believe there is a stock recovery in the non carrier branded forum

You could download this rom and once it's done downloading open the .zip up and delete Superuser.apk from either /system/app or Data/app. Then when you boot up it should look normal enough. After that you could just flash a stock recovery
IMO that's your best option since I haven't seen a ruu yet.

Please Help me Dudes
Yo
I have a quick question for the administrators. I was on Cyanogenmod with TWRP Recovery on my Htc one M8, i did everything stock (installed 2.22.401.4 odexx stock rom, with stock recovery, relocked the bootloader and turner S-ON) Now i have OTA update and when i click install now it shows red triangle and the update fails. When i go into recovery it shows something like 2.22.401.4 "something is wrong or missing something-i dont like to go into recovery to see again but i think you know this issue ) Can you please tell me what to do guys i dont want to sell my htc m8 and i want to get the OTA's in the future without any problem. Btw my phone is bought from T-Mobile Macedonia, where i wondered is this t-mobile RUU for all countries T-Mobile devices or just US?
I will be very grateful for your answers dudes.
Thank you in advance.
