Request for Virgin Mobile Stock

Hello all,
So I bought my HTC Wildfire S Virgin Mobile on black friday like everybody else. I waited a few days and then rooted. And then I had the brilliant idea to try installing the CM 7.1 Mod for it. And well, I didn't do a Clockwork Backup, and well, it didnt work very well. The phone got stuck on the HTC screen. So finally I installed a different ROM, JikantaruROM, and I managed to get past the bootscreen but I can't use my carrier anymore. So I was wondering if anybody could either tell me how to flash CM 7.1 Unoffical release to my phone, or if anybody knew a way I could get back to the original Virgin Mobile software. It seems that you have all the other stock roms, so I would REALLY appreciate if someone could share the Virgin Mobile rom too.
Thanks in advance,
Wieland959

Seconded. Although I think mine is in a slightly worse case; I kept flashing roms and ended up in a state where it turns on, screen remains black, then the phone vibrates three times and evidently does nothing. So Wieland959, I'd advise you to stop flashing until someone posts the ROM.
And if someone could let me know how to recover from my current state, I'd very much appreciate it.

Your in the same boat I was just in. My solution was to go back to radioshack with the receipt and tell them it just turned off and wouldnt turn back on. Just doing the 3 vibrations. I did spend hours trying to search about how to fix it, but I dont think theres a way unless you use a jtag hookup and some sort of fancy programmer.
@Wieland959, If you want. I just tried to do the OTA update through the settings on the phone itself. It would let me download the file(I believe it should be flashable through the cwm recovery), but when I tried to let the phone install the file, I would get the android with the exclamation mark after the reboot. Ill try to post here, if it will upload. But......
DISCLAIMER!!!!
I take no responsibility for anyone damaging their phone using the file here. This file, as far as I know, should only work with the Wildfire S Virgin Mobile USA CDMA model A510C as this is the phone the file was downloaded from.

Thank you for the file, but I couldn't flash it. What might work though, if you are willing is, if you have rooted your phone, to make a cwm backup and upload that here. From there I should be able to recover and then factory wipe my phone. But thank you anyways for the file. I will keep kicking until the phone doesn't boot.

How are you planning on restoring from backup if the phone doesn't even boot?
Sorry, I'm new to this...

from the recovery, by holding down the vol down button and power button. then select recovery.
also, im in the same boat as OP haha

Okay. I managed to boot my phone and am able to send/receive texts. The rom I used? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367701] It seems to work pretty well. However, I would still like to have the original rom if someone could still upload it.

VM USA Stock Clockwork Backup
Well, I don't know much about stuff like this, but here is my clockwork mod recovery backup. It's just the stock VM USA w/HTC Sense. I have realized that I deleted the bloatware, so that's the only thing that isn't 100% stock. Hope it helps.
*Unzip the file before placing on you sd card. (Contains the clockwork folder, which contains the backup folder,and then the folder that contains the backup itself.)*
**!! Disclaimer! Please run the activate application upon installing as when you call voicemail, it will call my number. !!**

Is this a good rom? I'm looking for some senseless roms that will work with our version of the WFS. will you post if you are able to go back to the Stock Virgin backup that I have posted? Also how much memory is on the rom that you posted?

With the a2sd enabled, you get 150 to 175. It's nice.

I tried it and found my phone only had 75mb of internal storage available!!! Weird!!
Nevermind I figured out the problem. Ok. Just one question is there anyway I can get the nice clock back from the stock ROM?

Is anybody else having mms issues with the experimental ROM?

Thanks for the backup! It worked perfect for me!
would you mind if i posted the link on another forum? i know of a couple people looking for a backup aswell.
You should be able to switch back with the recovery no problem. Correct me if I'm wrong, but to install boot into recovery, install from SD, select specific, and select the zip of the rom. Also, I don't have my phone on me so the wording might be a little different.
MMS is a known issue with the rom from what I've read. I don't have it installed personally.

@brandonhun, Thank you so much. You're a life saver. As far as the rom goes, it still have sense on it and there are tons of MMS errors. So just wait and eventually something will pop up.

Just a heads up wieland, when you get a voice mail and you try to check it from the notifications make sure it's your number, because I ended up giving brandonhun a call. Going through the activation app and rebooting fixed the problem.

I haven't done this ROM change but if its the stock HTC Sense go to personalize and get HTC widgets (perhaps its get more HTC widgets) and you should find an update to the clock widget. That should give you the original clock plus a bunch more new ones.

[Q]What went wrong with my Liquid Smooth ROM?

OK ofcourse as all noobs do when they start a noob thread they state that they are a noob... Well I am a noob. and I need help as we noobs tend to ask for. I Apologize but I have done a fair share of reading and before I go of and destroy the phone further I wanted to give my own thread a try.
ok...
So I got this ATT GS3 everything was cool from the store but I wanted to reverse Apps (I Tinker with code here and there). Which would require a simple root. Great... Followed the Simple self explanatory TUT "How to root your phone without tripping the flash Counter". Started doing my thing blah,blah,blah. should have been satisfied. (Here is where the Noob Kicks In). Saw how sick the liquid smooth rom was. loved the look was just tired of stock. so I did it. flashed the rom (No Backup whatsoever just exported contact list :crying At a first glance I was in love still doing my thing.... then I started noticing the glitches (mainly video related). got a newborn and could never just bust out the camera and play proud daddy. So I decided to go back. this is where the big problem Happened. My PC doesn't recognize the Phone via USB(I've tried 4 other computers). Ive read atleast 10 threads and they all say I should go in the dialer but no one has a custom ROM. So Now I cant even debug apps on my phone. I don't know what to do?
From 4.1.2 to Liquid Smooth 4.2.2
Please Help
Sorry if that seems long.

Flash a different rom via recovery.

'm not an expert but it sounds to me like you will need to use odin as described in this thread.

Yes Using Odin would be a dream but my PC does not recognize the phone.... so IM stuck. there is a ODIN App now does anyone think I should give that a try?. Like I sed I just don't want to make things worst. all suggestions would be helpful

Do you have android debugging checked under developer settings? If no, try that. Had that problem awhile back and that cleared it. Also, have you tried using another USB cable to connect to your computer? Also have run into problems connecting to the computer because of that. Mobile Odin might be your only option if you can get it on your phone. Just search and read carefully.

ok so I used mobile odin to flash the stock image back on the phone... For Future reference After you flash stock image you go back into the phone in recovery mode and wipe all data (Cache,Dalvic, Factory Reset) I had a crazy issue that side tracked me for about 45 minutes. I got a Flashing Samsung Logo. just put it like this I was already on craigslist looking for another phone. anyway USB debugging still doesn't work but. atleast im back to stock incase I gotta deal with Samsung or AT&T I can prolly slide through

Weird.
When you connect your phone to your computer does it charge? Ive had this problem recently and the phone would charge while connected to the computer, I just couldn't use mass storage. Buying a new cable fixed it though. I'm at a loss.
Maybe now you're on stock try the dialer commands you mentioned in the O.P.. If you haven't already.
Anyway, good luck. if you figure it you should post what you did.

Sprint LG G2 Boot looping

hello,
This morning i was using my phone like every day, but i notice that i had no signal so i decided to restart the phone. When it restarted out of nowhere the phone started to boot loop.. i didnt do anything for it to start doing that.. after a long while trying to fix it i gave up and got into recovery and decided to clean install the rom. It did install but after 1 minute of being on the screen it would boot loop.. I download it the same rom and installed it and still kept doing the same thing.. i had a back up so i decided to install it which i did but again after 40 seconds of start up it would boot loop.. finally, i decided to use the LG Flash tool TWICE and it did work but again after a little while the phone turns off and on.. idk what lese to do??? any ideas?

Check if it displays your IMEI in the Settings. If not you should check if you've got a EFS Backup.

OHH wow!! so im basically stock with a brand new phone that boots on and off ..Wow.. well if you ever find an answer can you please share it with me!!! thank you in advance.
I have no idea what kind of backup you are talking about but could we use it from another G2?

Maybe this will help you find out what a EFS-Backup is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451390
I've seen the question somewhere else (to use a backup from another g2) and they said, that it will boot but don't login into the network, cause you'll get a IMEI with 00000 or something like this.
Don't know a answer. I think I must send my G2 to LG and pay a lot of money IF they'll fix it.

OHH i see what you mean... I have added EFS backup to the IOroot scripts so that everyone that roots will have a copy of their EFS partitions on the computer you run IOroot from. Regardless, this current thread will still be a good "heads up" and an alternative for those who insist on using other shady root methods or for those who just want another way to back things up.
I did use IOroot, does that mean that if i connect it to the computer and try to root it again it would fix it? you think???

In the Thread is a step-by-step tutorial how to restore EFS-Files. Make a Backup of these 2 files before you root your phone again! Don't know, if those 2 files got overwritten (maybe with the damaged data) when you root your phone again.

Well just wanted to let you know that i sent my phone to LG for them to fix it. They didnt charge me and all they did was re-flash the rom. if you havent fixed it you should try sending it to them.

wiped everything

I accidentally formatted everything from my phone. I was in CWM and I formatted everything, and now I basically do not have anything on my phone at all. After the LG boot up logo, the phone goes blank. I'm able to go into download mode. I tried following this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2420219, I keep getting failed previousload() a few seconds after clicking the top left yellow icon in LG flash tool. Anyone have any idea whats going on or how to fix this? LG E988.

Hi I didn't find it in one particular section, I had to search everywhere, i spent a good 8 hours straight searching as I really needed my phone to work. I will try my best to start you off though.

That's basically all you have to do. I did, however, run into plenty of issues along the way which is what took up all if not most of the 8 hours. What I did was google each and every issues that occured and I always found answers to it (with some added trial and error).
Here are some of the issues I faced while sideloading that you or your friend may come across.
''device not found''
''cannot read file''
Both of which can easily be solved by googling. I hope I guided you in the right path, feel free to pm me if you need anymore help.

Anyone have any tuts or tips to flash this back!

yeah ill read through that. I honestly stopped using adb a while ago so I forget everything with that. The last phone I bricked was my nexus S! I used FB and ADB to restore it and then root everything up till a bit ago when I just tried and started using the wug tool box.
Its gotten me out of some jams. I was able to get it to stay on the FB bootloader screen long enough (cause it was looping too) to grab it and start flashing. Im back up, rooted, updated and already put in my edit for tethering!
Was scared for a minute though
was having a weird issue anyway prior where it kept telling me my phone was full. Now Im to normal with like 4 gigs used out of 24, until I titanium and TWRP backup
