Okay, so, I have an nTelos SGH-r760, which is their version of the epic 4g touch. I rooted it using the USCC rooting method, because it's the exact same phone, just with different firmware on it. However, the recovery mode I have apparently breaks every backup I make (md5 mismatch for every single one), so I can not restore my backup of the stock rom. I want to do this because every rom I flash breaks my mms (which I can live without), and my data(which I can NOT live without). So my question is this: does ANYBODY have a backup of the stock nTelos rom that I can have? I am in desperate need here. Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I can't post links in my reply because I newly registered. If you google just the word ntelos, the first search result seems to have a link to the ROMS on rootzwiki dot com. Good luck

Hi
I have rooted my Hero and have a custom ROM installed but the GPS does not work and I use it all the time.
I have looked around the web and these forums on pulling the original ROM from the device but it is all to confusing. My wife has a Hero from the same carrier as I use. Is it possible to pull the original ROM off her phone and then I could flash it to mine and get back to original.
Sorry if this is a re-post.
Ta,
Ross

Yes I have tried all the RUU ROMs and they will not load on the phone.
You could visit HTC.com and download the original rom from there, it will work (but then, so should the roms the previous poster linked to).
Perhaps you can share with us, why flashing is not working.

Got a FTP site from the local agent, does not work they say there is a problem.
If I use the web site, it does not accept mine or my wife's serial number.
A friend just found a serial that works and it actually downloads - RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver witch is available in the Sticky.
Decided to try it again in case there was a download error. Same problem:
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.

When i go to the HTC website and look for ROMs to download, there isn't any at all. I don't even see the page that asks for my serial number.
The HTC webpage is here : http://www.htc.com/sea/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=283&act=sd&cat=all

Sorry about the wrong forum. Maybe a mod can move the thread.
Are you saying flash the radio to fix the GPS issue or so that I can flash back to the old original HTC ROM?
You could try installing a standard build from here:
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...oms-radios-in-update-zip-format-for-gsm-hero/
Just wipe and install as usual from the recovery screen.
Some of them are even rooted, or you could root yourself after. That way you will have everything working and stable (including GPS) and also have the advantage of having root as well. Just a thought.
PS.I use HTC Generic 2.73.405.5 which I rooted myself (just seach xda for how to do this) and everything works perfectly.

what i am saying is:
i had this exact problem just yesterday: i could enable gps, but there was no icon in the statusbar, and position was not aquired by any app. no error in logcat. i tried to reflash mcr3.1 without wipe, nothing. wipe, then reflash, nothing. when i reflashed my radio it worked again, even after restoring my nandroid backup.
Can't you just get the official update in update.zip format and flash it from the recovery screen? That should work. Easy as that.
Or do a nandroid backup of your wife's phone and recover it on yours, though it probably doesn't work that simple because of serial keys inside the phone's hardware and stuff..

Perhaps you could explain why this OP is in the wrong forum ? If someone swaps to a custom rom, then needs help to recover in some way as a result, why should that not be asked here ? and if not here then where ?
Just asking
he has a problem and asks a question about it. comes to mind that the q&a (as in questions & answers) category might be the right, doesn't it?
since he is not developing anything, and that question is in no way related to develop anything it is for sure wrong in the development section. people tend to post here because they download the roms (which are obviously developed) from here, one more reason for a rom download subforum...
First of all, I hope this is posted in the correct subforum and please forgive me if it is not...
I recently flashed my HTC Droid Incredible 2 to Cricket for my girlfriend to use temporarily until she purchased a new Cricket phone. I used QPST to modify the necessary settings from Verizon to Cricket and everything worked out perfectly.
Now, I am wanting to restore my DINC2 back to Verizon and was wondering if anyone knew of a quick method of doing so. I am not sure if I am able to remember all of the different carrier settings I modified in QPST to revert it back to Verizon, so I was wondering if there is another way I could flash it back. The phone is rooted and I have a NANDROID backup of the stock ROM from Verizon, but I don't believe that it would restore any of the additional settings I modified.
I am unfamiliar with what exactly an RUU other than the fact that it is a package of the ROM, radio, etc. all in one. Can I somehow flash a RUU through RECOVERY mode to restore it to a stock (hopefully rooted) Verizon phone? If anyone can please help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!!

Try an RUU. If it doesn't work, wait until someone who knows wtf they're doing posts

I'm in a similar boat lately. My wife and I have had our Dinc2's on cricket for about a year now and we're about to leap back over to the Verizon world. Did you ever figure this out? I was thinking an RUU would return it to stock, but was unsure.
I just got my new ATT GS3, coming from HTC and new to Samsung. I was Reading mrRobinsons's thread about his root method that does not trip the flash counter. It did not list weather or not it would work with this build number, as the build numbers listed are different than mine. It did mention errors possible with certain builds. If anyone could point me in the right direction here, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

First off i am new to android had blackberries and iphones for the past few years and finally decided to upgrade and get myself an android! I have the Note II SGH-I317M Rogers device unlocked to be used with Telus (csc has been changed to so i can use Telus firmware) i learned how to flash roms yesterday after hours of research and i now feel comfortable doing it. In this post though http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016575 i am a little confused. It says "ROM Works with Rogers Note II. See post #3." but apparently those are old versions. Am i safe to use "ULTIMATE ROM v1" from page one? I know this is a little confusing so if you are confused by what i am asking let me know and i will try to clarify.

I don't know this ROM. But if it works. It always works. They wouldn't downgrade. Just make sure you get any modem data if needed. You don't want to flash it and then have no data connection.
To be extra safe always have this ready to go.

Thank you very much! I already have the stock firmware on my computer as a backup and i have backed up the CWM recovery.
One more N00B question though what exactly is modem data?
Again thanks for all your help!

I think he means the NV backup ( Imei backup) so, if your data connection messes up or somehow your imei becomes 0. you would have a backup of it.
I rooted my old milestone many years ago but havee been keeping my devices stock ever since, until today that is. Today I decided I wanted to try to root my Samsung SGH-I747M with Telus and everything seemed to start off smoothly. Once installed the SuperSU stopped working. I tried fixs I had read online such as updating the app, but this did not work. I read on a forum that you could flash something to disable know to help fix the problem. When I tried going this avenue I was not able to reboot my phone. I tried restoring from a backup taken before flashing, but I havent done any of this in so long im not entirely sure the backup took properly. At one point I got a message saying no OS was installed but after restoring this seemed to go away. I apparently do not remember anything about rooting from my milestone and am hoping someone may be able to help me get out of this mess. I am currently downloading the stock firmware and I think I will try flashing it tomorrow. I also was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a thread on xda that went into a more detailed explanation of how rooting works, what specifically roms and flashing all is and does. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The Only problem is I already attempted to follow this and my phone will no longer boot up. Also I tried navigating through the stickies. couldn't find much info for my device. I will be trying to flash the stock firmware tonight but I want to have a clear understanding on what flashing is and what the difference is between os firmware kernel and rom and such BEFORE flashing this firmware tonight. I hope someone will be able to help.

Well that info is already in the Sticky Index. Understanding what you're doing (or about to do) is really important but you gotta start reading, it's all there.
OS, firmware and ROM are the same thing.
When your phone boots, it basically goes: Bootloaders -> Kernel -> ROM (OS).
The kernel has pretty much all the "underground" controls (RAM, Mhz, governor, scheduler, BT, Wifi, etc).
I won't write everything but those are the basics.
Also, having a Canadian variant of the S3 (that's what the M is for), doesn't change much other than flashing bootloaders and stock ROM (which you'll wanna use the Canadian variant bootloaders and Telus ROM for stock). Everything else is basically the same.

Sweet I will definitely check that out. So I did flash twrp to my phone. Is it possible that I flashed the version say for the i747 but not the m version and that is why the phone wont move past the samsung screen? Also should I attempt to get rid of twrp before flashing the stock firmware. This should answer all my questions and then I will explore the stickies some more.

If flashing a stock ROM, flash the Telus one. If flashing a custom ROM, it doesn't matter (I747 or M variant), as long as it's D2LTE.
Your recovery doesn't change anything to flashing with Odin, it will overwrite it.
Flashing the stock firmware fixed my problems. Thanks for all of your help and I will definitely be checking out the links that you sent me before trying to root again tomorrow.
