Hey guys i got a replacement phone from rogers and im trying to flash the software from the new one back to my old one so its still under warranty..
what i did was adb pull /system from the new stock device.. but im trying to figure out how i can push the /system to my old phone so it reverts back to stock..
any help is appreciated..
EDIT: i think i may have figured out the command... will update if im right..
EDIT 2: well i managed to figure out how to push the files, but i keep getting an error saying "no space left on device"
How can i go about flashing back a stock rogers rom? even if someone has 1.6 thats perfectly fine..
nvm actually i think im just gonna end up flashing the 1.6 decrpyted rom with flashtool
that should give me back the stock rogers 1.6 and no root..
is there any way to remove xrecovery? just delete the sd card files?
Mods please feel free to delete this thread!!

How's it going guys. Well I used Odin to go back to stock and it did pass and everything, but the phone is still rooted! Wth?? This didn't happen before so I'm a bit confused right now.
Funny thing is, all the apps that I erased are now back, but Superuser is still there....
Right now, i'm on firmware 2.1 Update-1
The files I used was
Stock-i500-VZW-System.tar.md5
Help would be appreciated!

I'm not sure if that file is an official vzw file or one that was put together by someone else if I were to guess that is the case and the file you flashed contains root...if it still says your on 2.1 update one I think your odin file was really old?
where did you get that tar file?
What are you trying to accomplish exactly?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
trying to just back to stock after updating the ClockWorkMod and totally f'ing up my phone. Every time I send text messages now, people receive blank texts :/
Did you ever find a solution?
I'm basically having the same problem nightmare.. same firmware version on my phone now, did you ever figure out what the problem was/how to fix it??
You need PIT and DL09 package. Will get you to DL09 without root. Upon first boot don't sign into google (so the market doesn't go on an installing spree) and do ota's to froyo.
good day.
After i flashed tha rom i downloaded my phone got stuck on tha boot screen. I tried to do a restore but it says no backup "abort". I did a backup last night. So i know there is one. Do i jus need to reflash tha phone? Im confused
first of all, you're not supposed to flash anything in this forum. this forum is for p500 and p509.
second, if you cant boot past the splash screen, you're bricked. however, i think you can still boot into emergency mode. bad news is, you would only need that for kdz updater (which you can use to flash back the stock rom only if you have the kdz file, which i believe is not available for your phone)
Thanks for tha reply. My phone has been rooted and has cyanogen mod done. I can get to recovery screen so it could be easily done from what Ive read so far. I jus cant find my backup. Does anyone know where i can find tha stock firmware or rom for it?
if you go to nand restore, your backup should be there. if its not there, you either have to find a custom rom for the p506 (i dont think theres any) or you have to flash the p506 kdz file (which i tried to find for you but i cant. ill keep looking) using kdz updater
EDIT: check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087601
maybe you can ask kad_79 if he can make a nand backup for you to flash
Thanks for tha help. Ive been lookin everywhere myself. Not many people messing wit these phones. But i did find sum hacks for it before i tried tha rom. Im gonna do some more experimenting when i get my phone goin again. I dont wanna have to send it to lg. I asked him. Maybe if he dont have it someone else will.
Edit: Ok i found the original rom along wit many others. Its gonna take a while to download cuz im tethering with a slow sony ericsson phone. Cant wait to get android goin again!

sounds good
glad i was able to help. just remember, before you flash any rom, make sure that its compatible with your phone
Its supposed to be tha stock rom. I know to verify my backups from now on. I will post tha link for tha rom when i get my thrive goin again. Ive seen other people lookin for it as well.
Its working!!!
Update: well after several days of trying to figure out how to use fastboot to flash this rom i got tired of searching. i went and got a sdcard reader transferred the zip file to my card and flashed with cwm recovery. My thrive is working like it should now. Im gonna back up everything and start some experimenting now. Thx for the help. anyone has anything they want tested for a p506 thrive, im willing to do it. thx for the help
I cant install ics update for my phone can someone help plz. I cant get s-on to change well I don't know how. but I tried anyway and after install white screen comes up saying sseetthing about older version bing old or soomething and update failed. So i have to put sdcard in girlfriend lg revo to erase PH98IMG.zip then restore nandroid. so how do i change s-on to s-off and wheres a good place to download ics 4.0.3 I get my download from scotts rom which is a good place but is there another way. plz help I want ics.
You want this thread.
Kernels for all Current Rezound ROMs
You want the last one that says, "Currently running a ICS ROM after installing the OTA:"
Download that to your SD card, reboot into HBOOT, it will update the kernel and you will be able to use the phone again.
Edit: Oh and there is no S-off as of yet. But if you are loading ROMs then I assume (yes I know what that stands for) you already have the bootloader unlocked. And that will allow you to flash kernels, which is what you need in this case.

Also, not to burst your bubble, but the ota that you are trying to install, is NOT ics.. Although we all wish it were, its not here quite yet. The ota you are working with is a fix for the radio, some battery drain and a few other issues. Good luck and hope ya get it up and running. I personally seen a big improvement with the new radio, but others have not..

What??? What happened to having everything resolved:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483015
If this is a new panic due to trying to get ICS on your phone you really need to study up more before playing around with the phone. As mentioned above, there is no s-off on this phone. And there are plenty of threads about older version errors, the mainver error you most likely got.
But if you go messing about before you know what you're doing then post panic threads every time you hit a glitch without searching... well... that just gets old. Especially when you are trying to do the impossible.

Have you really?? Not doubting you, but what was the improvement??
I went through mainver hell getting the update to work, but after I finally got it working I can't honestly say I've noticed any difference whatever. My phone worked perfectly before the update (best phone I've ever had by far) and it still does but it doesn't seem any different.
not my original phone but got a hold of friends phone
This is my friends phone but i thought i would come on here and see i could help him. but no he is getting a new phone he told me if he wipes everthing clean internal and external the warrenty would still cover because no sing of root is this true because he did already i checked eveything is gone.

What's wrong with the phone?
I'm guessing he's just stuck at the mainver error, aka, something simple to fix.

update
The phone is completely clean external and internal just gave up on it is there a rom I can download to completely restore the phone?
If you are looking to just go back to stock you will need to do a few things.
First is re-lock the phone, details at the link below; this link also has links to the RUU files:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472606
Second is download the latest RUU from the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338916
Remove any PH98 files you might have on your external SD card.
Run the RUU file and follow the directions.
This will revert the phone back to stock. In order to root the phone afterwords, you will need to unlock the boot loader again. Please refer back to this guide to help you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472606
After that its back to installing CWM or Amon-ra recovery.

Dude, check your other panic threads. I've given you lengthy, detailed, step by step instructions in at least one those. You gotta start retaining what you "learn" on here, take notes or at least bookmark certain posts. Or there's always the search feature.
Hi guys most of you are noobs like me but when i get a devise i do a lot of research cuz i tend to mess with them and usually end up
getting bricked or stuck on boot screen but in the end i end up fixing them through lots of research...
OK well today ima help you fix your htc amaze, im not a developer im just an android lover...
First you have to go to this website and download this 457mb zip file http://d-h.st/rfa ...
my guess now is that you have downloaded this file and have somehow transferred it to a micro sdcard
so what you have to do now is boot into your custom recovery which can be 4EXT or TWRP if you dont have
any try flashing it with this http://d-h.st/mue ...
OK Now that we Are on the custom recovery we are going to flash the 457mb Zip file and remember to do a complete
wipe (factory reset, cache and Dalvik) once you wiped this 3 things flash the zip like you would any custom rom...
IF YOU JUST WANT TO FIX A BRICK OR STUCK ON BOOT SCREEN STOP HERE AND CHECK FOR ROOT ACCESS*
IF YOU DONT HAVE ROOT ACCESS YOU WILL HAVE TO ROOT IT AGAIN YOU SHOULD KNOW HOW TO DO THAT
BUT IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO COMPLETE STOCK KEEP FOLLOWING THE GUIDE...
this will take less than 10 minutes from start till end and its NOOB PROOF im an advance noob i know what im telling you...
now you will be booted on stock t-mobile ICS and you will need to check if you have superuser on you app drawer
if you dont have it then good and we can go to the final step which is restoring stock recovery image... to do this is simple
download this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19769336/recovery.img and run "Amaze 3.2" then on the top right box you will
find use your own image or something like than and you will pick the image you have just downloaded....
After this you are done and have an htc amaze like if you have just gotten it from the store...
SORRY FOR THE MESS BUT ITS MY FIRST GUIDE HOPE IT HELPS MANY OF YOU AND IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS SEND ME A MESSAGE AND I WILL RESPOND AS SOON AS I CAN
there's some critical info missing here... first off "Deodexed" isn't stock its "stock like" without bloatware its not the official stock RUU, and next is that Deodexed file for GB or ICS? and what if they have a different carrier besides t-mobile? i think there's a little more information missing but overall this seems like a guide to flash a Deodexed stock rom and get root
Thanks for the extra info ill edit the post with the some of the info u just posted
Sent from my Amaze using xda app-developers app
hey i need help guys. my phone all of a sudden didnt want to boot or factory reset, i thik its missing the boot img im totally new i need help:crying:
Im confused. it says run AMAZE3.2 where is that exactly? or what software? the RECOVERY.IMG how do i flash it?
Thanks. Its a starter but at least it got me in the right direction...
EDIT: OK AMAZE TOOLKIT 3.2... durr
I was wondering a few things if anyone could help. I have the metro version
of the mega. Id like to know if it is possible to get back to complete stock. I flashed
twrp, which is awesome. Also I bought a sd card reader from Walmart so
I can add and remove files to the sd if I ever brick the phone. I have
tried cm11 wasn't for me. I have rooted the phone etc. I'm trying
to get back to the state of when I first got the phone. Currently I flashed
bnb's clean twrp files and am back to stock. I want to get rid
of twrp and go back to thr original bootloader if theres
a way. From what I know the bootlaoder is locked up.
Im thinking about taking the phone back to the store as the
owner knows exactly what I'm talking about when I start grilling
him with questions about different roms and such. Do you
think at the store they may be able to reflash it? I've
tried via odin, but can only flash the twrp and then from there
I am able to flash the clean backup. I totally want to go back
to original. If you guys have any tips, questions or comments
please and thank you.
