[Q] need help!

I have an incredible 2 s-off and need to return it to the factory image because of hardware issues! I did a little research and found all different answers! Can some please help me out or point me in the right direction? I am not a complete noob and know a little about adb commands, but sorry for the noob question!

Did you by chance make a backup of your stock unrooted rom.

If you are attempting to completely unroot and restore s-on, as long as you did not use the XTC-clip to obtain s-off, then this thread over at rootzwiki will work. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/1579-how-to-restore-to-stock-from-alpharevx-incredible-2-vivow-only/
This has you flash froyo firmware, which is fine (and needed to be able to temp root to restore the bootloader). After it is all done, you can upgrade back to 2.3.3(or 4) and return it.

Thanks man, greatly appricated, now just gotta get adb to work!

You're welcome.
A really quick utility for ADB I have been using for quick use on Windows machines is a package ChevyNo1 put together on droidforums.net
All you have to do is unzip and run it per the instructions. Takes 10 seconds. Then you just drop any files you want to push into the folder where you extracted it and then issue the push command.
This will help you only if you are on Windows, though which is the one people usually have the most difficulty with getting it set up.

I should mention also that there is a bunch of other stuff on that page that is Motorola related, as he is primarily a Moto developer, but the ADB part is universal.

[Q] Idiotically put i9100 firmware on my Spring 4G Touch - How Screwed am I?

I guess I got a little bit too hyped about ICS and tried to update my SPH-D710 with a nice little tutorial. It worked pretty well until I realized that the modem/wifi/home button (and who knows how much more) don't work. No big deal right? I found the stock firmware and powered up Odin... Except my phone is no longer recognized by ANY computer. I've tried XP, Vista, 7 (32 and 64). I've installed the drivers or Kies and played with every combination I could find... but absolutely NO love.
I can boot into the up-home-power screen that looks like it would allow me to load firmware off an SD card, but I can't seem to get that to work. Is this phone completely screwed?

no you aren't completely screwed. if you can do all that there is hope. there is a couple threads by viperboy about ics. many people who jave been able to turn it on and all that have recovered. either find the threads or ask him. you are very lucky dude.

I've been looking thru viperboy's posts and can't seem to find anything that really applies to me. Is it weird that the clockwork screen won't let me pull anything off the MicroSD? I feel like I've run completely out of options here.

Wait, so you do have a custom recovery installed (CWM).

I think so... It's "android system recovery 3e"... It doesn't detect my SD card though for whatever reason... just gives me "failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)". Is there a certain file system the SD card needs to be formatted with? It's currently Fat32.

in the ics thread from viper in general. lots of people flashed it then wanted to go back. I'm unsure of what they did aa I have never didi it. but I know they got back up and running. maybe the uk drivers idk. but the still is hope dude.

How does this happen? People need to start paying more attention when flashing. You have a $500 phone. How did u flash this rom? By recovery or Odin? If u used Odin it worse cause that means u flashed the international bootloaders and u will need the drivers so your computer can recognize it. Let us know what steps u took.

No you do not have a custom recovery... What you are describing is the android stock recovery. You are not going to be able to flash anything with that. My suggestion would be to get Mobile Odin. Since your radio is not working, you will not be able to download it from the market, thus you will have to get the .apk to an external memory card. Then install it that way. After that, then download a stock tar file to the card. Flash with the mobile odin and Viola you should be up and running.

Exactly what I needed to hear. Appreciate the help!

Actually shredder once you get mobile odin up and running. I would flash a custom recovery/kernel next. Here's a link to Rogue's recovery/kernel. Download the odin tar file. Then flash the file via mobile odin. This will give you a custom recovery. Once you have this, you can then use the rogue recovery to flash a new stock ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341564

First prob is you will need root for mobile Odin. Second is you can not achieve root with file you flashed. I have helped out others in this same situation. Both phones that boot and ones that wont boot. All have ended unsuccessfully. The only way sofar is either Jtag service or play dumb at your local sprint store. I will post some example threads and jtag links for ya. BrB.

Your right... I just figure everyone's already rooted around here.
Hey Indrid, so there is no way to achieve root with what he flashed.

Go to mobiletechvideos.com and have josh j tag your phone for the record our phone is SPH-D710

I think on the second page of ICS port gone wrong. There is a link for Jtag from mobiletechvideos. Or sumthin like that.

What a *****! Thanks a lot for the help guys. I'm on a corp account so hopefully our rep will help me out without too much of a hassle.
Definitely was one of the dumbest things I've ever done, it never occurred to me that there were such drastically different "Galaxy S2" phones!

If it's a company phone, find a large magnet, rub it all over the phone, then call your rep. I have had to call in atleast a dozen warranty replacements at my job because the end user carried their phone into an MRI room (We own/partner with diagnostic imaging centers). Our corporate rep had no issues with warranty replacements. However I will let you know this now. If your rep is a third party company, Sprint changed their policy on how third parties have to handle warranty replacements. Once the replacement is submitted, it must be handled 100% by the actual Sprint Rep, the third party rep is nolonger permitted to process warranty replacements.

Yeah very diff. And the epic touch is kinda like the redheaded step child. Buuut it is still the best of all the SGS2 variants. Mali all the way babby.

No not on my et4g .But I did do this on a vibrant but there is a way to force a brick. Then you can start back from scratch. It's called eugene's froyo that does not brick. But it does soft brick the phone and resets the bootloader. This is what is needed for the et4g. I am in talks with other dev's from the vibrant forums to try and get one a phone.

Hey man!
I just did the whole thing less than a week ago my first time too. The method worked on mine & I was 8.5.1 as well so yea it should work!
I'm on Cyanogen 12.1 Oct 23rd nightly release using it to type right now.
If ya have any probs or questions hit me up! I'll be checking in regularly to see if anyone's seen my posts about some bugs I've encountered.
Be sure your device is rooted first, familiarize yourself with the android-sdk stuff on your PC & the tough part for me was ADB (Android Debugging Bridge).
Once you can get the correct drivers to communicate with the kindle (with ADB enabled) it will go fairly quickly.

Here's the ADB drivers from Amazon..

I used iRoot to get root on my kindle but people around here are leery of it cause its a Chinese root kit & nobody's sure what all it does. Its a one click App pretty easy to use. Ya gotta go to your settings and allow installation of 3rd party apps & make sure you're connected to the internet when you run them because they say they use a cloud based platform to search for specific root methods on your device.
http://vrootdownload.com/iRoot/#.Vi6eenwo62c
There's probably a better variant of that app I dunno if this one will work but I bet it will.
http://www.kingroot.net/
There's some Root checker apps you can get for free at the amazon store to see if it worked & ya got root access.
---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 PM ----------
I just wouldn't mess with or install anything else the app suggests once inside. Just click the root button, if it works great, get out don't install anything from inside the app & don't mess with anything else inside the app unless you're the brave & daring type..

The Kingroot developers have posted here before, you can see what they had to say here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461

If I were you I'd try Kingroot first its newer & and from the same people. I used Kingroot on my Samsung S4 late model Verizon & it worked when pretty much everyone else was stumped.
You can remove Kingroot stuff with a one click app called #Supersume & then you can install the more traditional root manager app #SuperSU by Chainfire.
Don't just uninstall Kingroot apps or you'll lose root access & hafta run Kingroot or iRoot again to regain Root access.
The Kingroot & iRoot apps are very easy to use. You shouldn't need a PC at all, I didn't.
Hit me up if any probs..

I've had great success using the instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/kin...k-rom-to-hashcodes-lp-5-1-x-kfhd-8-9-t3149826

verizon apps after unlocking

Hey there,
I have a question, since i got the verizon model on the firmware that can use sunshine to unlock it i would want to ask a question before giving away 25$
if i s-off my htc would it remove the verizon apps from the app drawer and the device? also what about the verizon logo everytime i reboot my device? will it also be removed?
i mean will i have an "official" htc firmware without verizons tweaks?
thanks for your time !

Yes & no. Yes, you will still have an unrooted/unmolested stock Android running. To get root you have to flash SuperSU 2.65 (just installs it as a system app. To do this you may have to install a custom recovery (think pre boot recovery on windows...it's firmware)
No you will not get rid of Verizon bloat crapware. You should use titanium backup to remove unwanted VZ apps. Do your research you could f up your phone if you delete the wrong apps. Su (super user) is the equivalent to admin on a windows machine where you can delete registry keys or trees that destroy the os.
See the thread for rooting m9 great instructions.
& side note, enable advanced calling & test it prior to sunshine. That app/feature now checks for s-off as an incompatible service.

so after doing s-off with sunshine, root the phone and install custom recovery
i can download the official non-verizon firmware and install it ?
or atleast the custom roms that are not in the htcverizon page but the normal htc one m9?
i am sick of the verizon apps etc

DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING FOR A DIFFERENT PHONE
-part of the firmware is radios...file that controls whether or not you can talk to VZ towers.
...just make sure it's for Verizon (hima) -unless you are converting to developer phone...then you gots to find a Guide just for doing that (I'm actually trying to get converted to dev phone now & haven't found a step-by-step for VZ...the cod for Dev doesn't seem to support VZ)
Yup, once TWRP is installed you can flash other roms Willie Nillie...as long as they are Verizon (hima)

Found debloat thread. Look under the main Verizon m9 thread on xda. I am running stock because I like it, but I see a lot of talk about venom if you want a custom ROM. Used CM on my old phone. It was good but marshmallow used too much ram for xt912 moto handset I had. M9 for 130 on eBay was a no brainer...3gb woo-hoo
