Before I do anything else to screw this up!
I'm sitting at an exclamation in a triangle
here what I did..
1. installed stock/rooted rom
2. used clean flash to put on stock recovery
3. ran OTA Keeper to back up root
4. downloaded and started OTA update
it then rebooted and began but then Red Exclamation In A Triangle
anyone know where I should go or what I should do from here?
Thanks.
If your pc detects the phone- you'll prob have to do an ruu.exe to get it totally stock and then start over.. I did it earlier but I was having a diff problem (stuck in hboot)-- never got triangle/exclamation. I used the ruu from scottsroms (1.02.605.6).
yeah ok... I'll look into that. I haven't turned it back on yet.. Thanks
Just realized i forgot to "un-root" with the OTAKeeper app... I'm hoping that's what I did wrong. It booted back to where i was and said the update failed. So... I'm a tryin' again.
Thanks for the reply.. One can feel soooo alone when making mistakes
There's some other information in the OTA threads in "general" of others that have had the red triangle and were able to work around it.. I didn't read the specifics but check in there.

Why wait?
I'm going to run through those steps later and check out the other threads. I'm able to get back to my phone as the update looks to of just been aborted....
If you guys don't have wives, keep it that way, I want to work on this all day but...... so I'll check in later and post how it goes. I don't see why those steps won't work though... Thanks a ton guys.
I planned on waiting until the official build of ICS & Sense is released OTA, especially after today's news about the new features in Sense 4.0, which I'm actually extremely impressed with.
Cool- well I'm sure you've already read elsewhere- but you can't really go wrong w/ any of the custom ics roms in the dev section. If you can handle a very occasional screen flicker every once in a while they're pretty much perfect.

Did you lock the bootloader?

No. I didn't. That was my mistake. Dumb of me. I'm gonna do the ruu and start over later, I'm out n about.

Why lock the bootloader? There are a bunch of us who were able to successfully OTA without doing so. My radios are all updated as well as the OS. If you debloated, you need to reenable the bloat prior. No need to unroot either.

Had Ineffabilis from 12/29, was great, put Clean ICS on it from 1/24, worked well except for the bluetooth pain in the patookie. (and I use bluetooth ALOT)...
I flashed back to GB, I have Team Bamf on mine right now because it included the kernel. I am getting ready to put clean rom on it with the new main ver but I would like to put the new radio's on it first.
Can I put the new radio's on it without going through the steps above (flash stock, re lock, ruu, ota update, unlock, flash, etc) and if so how?
Thanks!
Figured it out. Gonna make a post.

Right now I'm on Vigor Stock Rooted WWE 1.02.605.6 Deodexed . That's my mistake, right? I've got all the bloat.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
It's possible the deodexed part of it is the problem.
Do you have a nandroid made from right after you flashed Amon Ra recovery? Also, did you flash a stock recovery or do you still have Amon Ra? It won't work unless you have stock recovery.
If you don't have a nand, you can either run RUU (if you don't have the updated mainver issue) or have a look in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467329
con247 has made a stock ROM with the OTA in it so you don't have to download the update.
There aren't any instructions on what to do with the file you download and I didn't use his method so I can't really help but hopefully you'll get it. I don't remember it being spelled out in the thread anywhere which is why I decided it was just as easy for me to use my nand and flash a stock kernel and recovery and download it myself.
I had stock recovery and kernel at the time I ran the update. I've since went back to amon and I've downloaded vigor ota stock rooted and I was about to try that.
Oh and...I'm pretty sure my earliest back up was not my original, I think I made the mistake of flashing a Rom before my first backup
I do however really wish I had some instructions for the vigorotastockrooted.
& one last thing.. Ive never had mainver update.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
Yeah, I wish there were instructions for that stock + OTA too.
The OTA will update your mainver but to the official release that is in the OTA. Just so you know, I can now not flash the dbs kernel I was using before because I'm getting a "mainver is older" message.
I was trying to reflash kernels because my wifi is not working now, when I select "turn on wifi" that changes to "error". I had restored my nand of the Innedfabilis ROM I made right before reverting to stock and updating with the OTA. Just mentioning it since I'm posting here to try to help you and I guess it's just full disclosure.
Hmm. I'm thinking of sticking pre-ota as well, at least until I feel more confident about it. Thanks
Edit.... I ended up using con's vigorOta and xtreme tools (for simpler lock/relock) to update . Thanks for the help/insight!

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.

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.
Please I need answers to this issue, not people blaming me for being such a noob. I reprogrammed a Verizon Droid Razr for my colleague here in Nigeria, we both work for a CDMA network. The phone was fine, voice, text and data working until yesterday he told me the phone lost network. I asked him what happened before then and he told me he did an update (the ICS update), so everything went back to Verizon defaults and I needed to reprogram again. I got to reprogram it today but there was no data so I figured I would go back to GB 6.12.181 which the phone was on before the update. I chose DroidRAZR Utility 1.6 which I have on my laptop to do the job. After this my woes began. The phone now stops at the Motorola logo and after that goes blank. I tried again but it was the same response, and I discovered that the recovery changed too, and where I should hit both volume buttons to get the option to wipe all I see is automatic update inside recovery. I tried to remove the sdcard, but I guess the update file he received is in the internal storage. How can I get the phone working again, whether on ICS or GB, whichever would work. Or do we have a total brick? Please I need urgent answers. Thank you all.
Pls people, Help Me!
After Upgrading to ICS you CANNOT downgrade back to 2.3 again, part of ICS does NOT allow downgrading, if its CDMA and you can get to bootstrap you could flash the ROM again, use the sdcard in another device to copy the rom, but it MUST be ICS you CANNOT install GB anymore

Thanks for your reply lashton. Please can you point me to a guide on how I can restore the phone to ICS. It is stuck on Invalid Flash Mode now and the battery is low, but I want to make a factory cable to use tomorrow and see if I can get the phone working again. I just need to know this is possible to restore to ICS.
Thanks.
What you have is soft brick. And yes you will be able to go back to ics but now gingerbread. Look online there are plenty of people that have soft bricked their phones thinking they could just go back to GB. Lol including me. Happy digging! =)

Please dear sir Chuckleb0ne, kindly guide me on how to do this since you have experienced it before. I have only till tomorrow to get this working as the phone has my friend's official company line on it, he must be able to use it for calls tomorrow. Down on my knees, tears streaming down my eyes... pleading for help...
OK. I managed to construct a factory cable and it supplied power to the phone, so far so good. I tried to use Droid Utility 1.7 to unbrick (option 2) but it didn't work, I mean the fastboot flash went through but I still cannot go further than the Invalid Flash Mode screen, no matter what. I can't even go into recovery. That's a major issue, I think. If I could get into recovery I could sideload the ICS zip I copied on the sdcard with the Utility tool. I next tried option 1, which is Prepare for sideloading ICS on any GB. It didn't work either. Please people, what next before I go crazy. We do not have Verizon here so their support is out of the question, or even returning the phone. I must fix this, with your help, because I have run out of ideas here. Help needed!
Try to boot through BP Tools. The phone must be unplugged. If you can reboot that way then just rewrite the boot .img, I want to say its option 9? Kinda sounds like what happened with my phone, but after I saw the dead android with the door open I believe I could still get into stock recovery and side load .211.
Guys, I got it back on. I used DroidRazr Utility 1.6, 1.7 and this file - Blur_Version.6.12.181.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip, all three in combination. the blur file on my sdcard, fastboot restore to 181 with Utility 1.6, move into recovery, wipe data and cache, fastboot 211 boot.img from Utility 1.7, back to recovery, flash the blur file on sdcard... ladies and gentlemen, we have a working Droid RAZR on ICS 211. Happy mode activated...
Nice job ezeuba! I'm trying to find a way to get my RAZR back to GB because I HATE ICS. I've been using it for 2 days and I want to smash my phone. I keep finding people saying that it is not possible, although I have found 1 or 2 references stating that it may be possible but is very risky. I am willing to take any risk at this point as my phone is pretty much useless to me now anyway and it is at very high risk of being utterly destroyed. It amazes me how fast you can go from love to hate with a device. This fiasco reminds me of the day I "upgraded" from Windows XP to Vista. At least Microsoft left me the option to go back...
Question: When you did "fastboot restore to 181 with Utility 1.6", were you back to a working GB 181? Were you forced to move "up" to ICS or was it your choice? Thanks in advance for any information!
See! Once you do a little digging you come up with a solution. And now you probably feel incredible for doing it yourself.

To answer your question first, no I didn't have a choice to stay on Gb or move up to ICS. I only did fastboot to 181 with Utility 1.6 in order for the phone to even boot up to recovery. Prior to that I only had "Invalid Flash Mode" error, no recovery, nothing. So, after fastbooting 181 I got to recovery, wiped data and cache, went back to Utility, 1.7 this time, and flashed boot.img for 211, then went back into recovery and sideloaded the downloaded 211 update file on my sdcard. After that could I get full boot to ICS on the phone. No need dreaming of reverting back to GB, it's not possible, at least for now with a locked bootloader.

You are right. Nothing a bit of research would not solve, if you are really determined to get it to work. It was your assurance that it was certain to work that fired me up. I was afraid the phone was dead and about to be buried.
Thanks.
Thanks ezeuba! Fortunately ICS is starting to grow on me. I was able to load the old Gmail app which was my main issue and find some other workarounds for various other issues.
So I want to go back to stock unrooted on my SCH-I545. I restored my stock rom nandroid like the various threads here say to do. And it does seem to be stock software again. Or I should say I have all of my bloatware and stock look back again. But I have two problems now. First is that the about phone still says synergy rom in the about phone section of the settings and it still has the synergy boot screen. Second it is still rooted.
How do I go about completing the process to get it back unrooted and stock? Or does anyone know of a step by step guide to doing this?

Doing a nadroid wont remove root because you had root when you made it. When I need to return my phone to bonestock and unrooted I odin. It takes care of everything in one shot. The stock images arw posted in the dev section.

Hey guys,
Yesterday I tried to update my ViperOne from 2.5 to 3.2 and being the dumbass that I am, I didn't read the note saying my wifi wouldn't work unless I have 4.4.4
It installed fine but I wanted to go back so I followed Viper's guide on reverting to another version. After hours of dicking around, my phone got stuck on the white htc screen. I did power + vol up and got to the recovery menu and remembered that I had a backup of my stock firmware. Lesson learned (always make backups)
Anyways, i booted into the back up image and now everything is working.
My question is, is my phone ok? After the white screen I'm kinda scared I might've ****ed something up. If it's working then I don't have to worry about anything, correct?
Thanks for your help!

You need s-off to update firmware. Once you have s-off, then the firmware I would recommend for use on AT&T's network is 3.28.1540, which is posted on the ROM thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/development
Otherwise, your other option is to return to full stock ROM and stock recovery and install the official 4.4.4 OTA once it rolls out from AT&T (rumored mid-December) which will automatically update the firmware. After the OTA, you will then need to re-install custom recovery, to flash a custom ROM.
