I had my phone rooted so I could install apps to the SD card. I unrooted the phone, and reinstalled the default boot manager. All of this was done from the Note2 Toolkit.
Now, my phone is saying that there is an update, but when trying to install the status bar is getting halfway, and then erroring. I am not sure what is causing the error, or how to find out. Is there a way I can find the cause of the issue? Is there a tool that can verify the integrity of my ROM and partitions?
Thank you.

So, I've been thinking that I may just use the Toolkit to restore the latest ROM on the device, but I worry about bricking the phone. Does anyone know if that is the correct way to fix this?

Hi guys
I rooted my desire with unrevoked 3, and now I want to install stock froyo 2.2 update and it doesnt seem to work. It stops unpacking update after restart and shows exclamation mark and the droid, pressing menu from there brings up clockwork recovery. Is there any way to easily get this working or are the two options to either unroot or install custom rom?
In case of unroot, do I have to reflash the whole device loosing all settings and apps?
Hope someone has an answer for me, starting to get anxious to try the new rom out
Am having exactly the same issue. First I thought there was something wrong with the download as the Clockwork Mod says 'failed to verify full file'. Can someone help?
There are many stock roms with root access on this forum. Can't you just use one of them? If you flash the official upgrade, it will overwrite HBOOT as well, making it impossible to root the phone again until someone finds a new rooting method.

Ok first of all since you have rooted your phone, did you make a backup? Did you use nandroid? Have you made a gold card? Okay this what I did with my phone. Use the stock ROM from UK 1.21.405.2 WWE version and flash that to your phone (rooted of course with gold card).
Once you have flashed the UK ROM you should get a system software update. BUT......you have to make sure you download one of the rooted Froyo that can be found in xda.
DON"T DO WHAT I DID AND USED A STOCK (unrooted) Froyo! Because now I can't root my phone until someone in here finds a way and shares it.
Ok, how do I flash one of the rooted roms and how do I go about installing it and still keeping the data on the phone? I know there are guides all over this place, but I find them a bit hard to understand a lot of the time...
Happy to use a custom Rom. There are so many here though - any suggestions?

Try them all It's fun and addicting.
But will flashing a custom rom wipe the device, and how do I go about getting all apps, sms'es and so on back on the device? I guess nandriod backup has something to do with it, but how do I use it right?
Titanium backup in market. Restor all data and apps. thet use all.
Titanium backup won't run...
Hmm, titanium backup is installed but it won't run claiming I don't have root or busybox is not installed. Installed busybox installer, it says I have root, but stops saying it might not have enough privileges or it is unable to mount...
What next? Anyone got any bright ideas? Thinking more and more about wiping device with a clean RUU and getting the stock 2.2 update, but would like to keep all my info, sms's and so on...
Hi,
I just noticed this was ready to download on my phone today. I downloaded and went to install, but the ClockWordMod Recovery doesn't let me install the update saying, "Image Verification Failed". I assume the problem is that the phone is rooted, and searching through the forums I heard this update isn't really anything big, just removing some German apps or something.
Is there anyway I can stop this update from notifying me? Or anyway to install? My phone is rooted but I'm not bothered about keeping it rooted as at the moment, there is nothing I need the phone to be rooted for. So, either way is fine for me.
Thanks!
If you want to unroot it, just flash generic ruu, more info here http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-unroot-the-htc-desire/
Than simply check for updates and update it
Or wait for few hours for rooted version of this rom
Hi!
I have a branded Desire and installed the update via Recovery. I had to disable the verification to do that (Goldcard inside). But all I got was a boot loop and my phone was derooted. I tried much (e.g. delete my data) and after a couple of hours I found the simple solution: Simply install the update again. Then I rooted my phone and restored the NANDROID Backup I made before I started the update because all of my data was gone.
Then I installed the Update again and this time it worked at the first time. All data was still there. I rooted it again and everything is fine. Don't know why my phone got a boot loop after first try but second try was perfect!
My suggestion: copy the zip from the download folder to the SDcard (made to a Goldcard!!!!) root and to the PC. Just if you need it more than once. Then make a Backup in the Bootloader. Then Install the update via Recovery. If anything goes wrong install the update again!
First of all, yes, I am an idiot, and yes, I have looked through the forums but just have to make sure I am downloading the correct thing.
So, a while ago, I rooted my t-mobile galaxy s3.
Today, I wanted to download a root-compatible app, it didn't work, turns out that my root somehow became disabled ( I might have accidentally wiped the superuser binaries)
So, I try to re-root my phone...several times. I finally think I have it rooted (using the official xda guide on how to root), and everything was fine, until i try to use superuser and it turns out that I am not rooted...for whatever reason. I do a hard reset a couple of times, it still shows that I am running alternate software and cannot update. I try to flash a stock rom to my phone, and that just simply fails on odin.
Now, I have completely formatted the SD and internal storage (probably very stupid), and I am just wondering how I could possibly flash a stock rom onto my phone, and if you could please link one because I believe the one I tried was not for my device.
If not, please provide some suggestions on what I should do. My device works, so it's not really time-sensitive, but I do want to re-root my android after I revert to stock roms, properly this time.
Thank you for your time and help!
Fixed
Fixed the problem, will be posting tutorial in the morning for anyone who might have the same issues!

Your recovery version is pretty old, considering cwm 6.0.3.6 is the newest...
So is there anyway to fix this ?
Download ROM Manager from the PlayStore and let it install the latest CWM, or download GooManager and have it install TWRP.
So far as the computer, you'll need to be more specific about 'talk to'.
Might need drivers, might need a new cable, can't tell from what you said.
I think if he wiped already he wont be able to download from the play store, if im reading the OP correctly, you already wiped the device, you flashed the 4.2.2 or 4.2 and it aborted..correct?
Step 1. Okay here's what you can do since the PC isnt reading your phone, reboot or restart your pc put phone in odin/download mode and see if it reads it now. If it does Odin a stock rooted rom, then get goomanger from the play store and install open script recovery which will give you the twrp recovery, then you can attempt the flash again of the 4.2 based rom.
Step 2. If it still isnt reading after a pc restart load your old rom on an sd card and try to flash the old tw rom with that older cwm recovery and see if you can get back at least to a tw rom. If that doesnt work then pull the battery out your phone let it sit for 2min, put the battery back in and get into odin/download mode, and see if pc recognizes the device and connection, if it doesnt, download kies and it might help with the connection issue.
Did that help bro. Let me know?

Op stated the he made a full backup. Should be able to boot directly into recovery and restore the backup?
thanks for the info everyone . the operating system is gone so no luck on play store.
mrkevo3000 yes the roms got aborted half way its weird why it would do that.... my phone has always had issues.
just like that as i am typing this my phone is now recognized by odin so i will what you said load up stock and the reflash my backup and then update cwm.
I will try and update and againg to 4.2.2 and let you know what happens.
I have seen so many flavors any preference one somethiong that might work on i747m ?
ill update this after recovering my phone and attempting reflash.
Also for some reason my sd card is not recognized by cwm and it is only looking at internal again never did this to me before thats why i got stuck.
Last time i attempted a update for some reason my apn settings were locked and could not be changed.
I did the same stupid thing myself. Really can not believe I did it but i was rushing and didn't read what it was, thinking i was doing something else. Was not worried as I had my trusty nandriod backup -.- . I guess I can consider myself lucky as i took it to telus hoping they would buy my story and they sent it to the samsung repair center. Worried all week that if they checked it would be clear i had voided the warranty and i would be paying a high repair cost or buying a new phone. Well I got the phone back an hour ago and they fixed it.... no charge. I guess I can consider myself very lucky.

I would use odin 1.85 and odin a rooted stock 4.1.2 rom.. then go to the playstore and download goomanger and get the teamwin recovery, by hitting menu inside goomanger app, and installing the open script recovery which will install the teamwin recovery, you can flash any pure google rom with that recovery, before you do make a nandroid of your current setup and then flash away, get into a habit of doing at least one back and check the md5 hash of the roms before you flash away... download using your pc instead of phone browsers, sometimes mobile browsers corrupt the files.

I tried to install xposed on my brand new zf2. latest stock rom version. stuck in a boot loop. (only saw the warnings to not do so after it was too late -.- ) whats the easiest way to fix this? anyone? I've seen the ways to unbrick, but wondering if there's a simpler way, since I can enter the menu and all, and I've got ADB installed (already rooted via adb) I assume there's a simple way to reflash the firmware?
thanks in advance for any help
EDIT: specifically, if it makes any difference, I used method 3 in the resources all in one thread to root. (1 click root tool) I'd REALLY like a way to remove xposed from the device and restore the boot without losing some files. I had some data on my micro sd card from my old phone, I saved it to the zf2 and when removing the micro sd card, it seems to have broken, I just tried putting my old micro sd card back into my old phone, and I got nothing. so the amount of potential lost data here is rather discouraging. failing that, is there any way to copy data from the device before reflashing the firmware?
things I have done so far: rooted, installed busybox, then tried to install xposed framework
Hi,
2.20.40.160 firmware for Z00A isn't compatible yet with Xposed.
