Hey all,
I followed instructions to finally root my device, and install a rom on it. Not entirely happy with it, as I did it just to get JB 4.1, but I want to know if it's possible to backup the data(contacts, MMS/SMS, and game data preferably) and go back to stock android, maybe just 4.1 stock - I'm in Canada and am on Rogers. Any help would be great! Thanks

Hello can anyone write a tutorial that will send any T989 with custom ROM and RADIO to it's original configuration so Kias can upgrade phone to ICS ? Let's say I am on Darkside with radio from Blaze 4G and I do have my original ROM backed up with ROM Manager ....now what ? From what I understand I need 3 things to make a smooth transition.
1. Original 2.3.6
2. Original RADIO
3. No Custom Recovery (no clockwork)
I may be incorrect on clockwork but I know for sure radio and rom has to be exact. So is there anyone can write a tutorial that will put any T989 and ANY Custom ROM to it's original state ? (I hjope it's even possible)
Thank you.

I guess that link is for old stock ROM (ULKL1) . They upgrade it one more time before IcS to UVLDE. There is thread on general section.
Follow that

Is that mean I'll have to do an upgrade before I can do ICS ? Or I can just go from that straight to ICS ?
if you find the UVLDE md5.tar file in whatever thread it is in, you only need to go back to that STOCK version, there is no further update from that.
You can then do the ICS update after that.

Why not wait a few days for us to play with it first? Updating through Kies could render your device unrootable. With what I have been reading/hearing they may lock the bootloader and make it impossible to root until a security flaw is found and exploited. This could take days to even months if even possible. Like I said, my advice is to wait.

Crap ...... well I am with ICS now and hoping for ROOT ATM meanwhile I just glad whole process was painless and straight forward. One question if possible. So at this stage It'll be impossible to use same guide and return to 2.3.6 stock from before right ?
Thanks !
Hey guys, I'm new the the GN, so I have a question..
Right now I have the GN on AOKP and Der Kernel, I am wondering if I can update to jellybean? If I do, do I need to install a new bootloader?
Nope, just download the zip from this thread:
(assuming you have a GSM Gnexus)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737849
and you're good to go.
(flash through CWM, make sure to do a backup first, and wipe).
Nice. Thanks!
I can flash any JB roms right?

Yes, if you wish to use that rom that will work as well. Assuming your Gnexus is a GSM one.

K. Thanks!
Asked the question because I saw some other guys thread saying he installed Jellybean, and need to install a new bootloader for it to boot up.. O_O
I didnt have too, I had to install the rootfix but thats implemented in version 2 (in the link I provided to you).
Worst come worst, just restore it and install the bootloader.
But I came off aokp and had no issues.

If you want to try the stock JB ROM, see post #2 here.

JB comes with a new bootloader, but it isn't necessary for JB to work. People usually update the bootloader to be able to do OTA updates

Good guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
that should have been the first thing you ever learned, before going custom. most people have their priorities reversed.

Hello All,
I just purchased the T-Mobile edition on the Galaxy S III and I ignorantly updated from ICS 4.0.4 to JB 4.1.1.
I want to root my phone. Am I screwed? Please help me I don't want to screw up my phone.
Thanks for any help.
Why would that be ignorant ?
Yes, you can root JB. Even if you couldn't, you could always flash back to ICS if it was that important to you.
Check out the other forums here and ctrl+f "root" - there are guides that will completely walk you through it. I used the root66 root-injected stock ROM to root my phone, it was the first time I'd ever done such a thing and the guide is well-written and goes baby-step by baby-step.

Any recommendations on the best ROM?
Have people become so lazy that they can't search?
Don't be a jerk. I have tried a few I was just asking what he thought was best that's all.
Comon bro, you made time to criticize but not to help.

Evil1art has a couple of very solid roms. V7 is ics and my favorite but his jellybean build is very good also.
So I rooted my phone a couple months back, and I personally don't like it. I wanna go back to ICS. I personally think ICS was much better. I am currently running cm10.2 Running 4.3 android version. I DO NOT Have the Stock for 4.2 saved when I rooted... I forgot to save it. idk what to do now. I want to go back to ICS cus of some apps and stuff but I don't know how to do so. If anyone can help, that would be great!!! (Videos will be greatly appreciated) I have to go back to stock JB first rite???
TL;DR
I wanna downgrade from cm10.2 all the way back to ICS (v 4? i rrly don't know the versions)
Some information about my Phone
d2att (or something)
Samsung SGH i747
Running 4.3
cm 10.2 20130921-NIGHTLY-d2att
Please Help me. It will be greatly appreciated!
