its been a while since i last used Amaze. i had installed Energy ROM (gb) and exchanged Amaze for Galaxy S2. he tried factory resetting it and said he is stuck in boot screen. I will be getting that phone in few hours and i want to revert that back to Stock rom with ICS. How do i revert back ????
simple guidelines would be perfect.
Thank You.

Info is needed to work with, bootloader version, s-on or s-off, what did he do to get stuck on the boot screen?
he tried factory resetting the phone.

Factory resetting doesn't cause a phone to bootloop or get softbricked, just saying.
Anyways, if you have a custom recovery installed, you could just simply wipe the device and reinstall whatever rom it was.
To go back to complete stock, look for the most recent GB stock ruu file in the dev forum, download it and place it on your sd card. Rename that file PH85IMG, reboot into bootloader, follow all on screen instructions to restore to stock. If the device is s-on, you will need to lock the bootloader before placing that PH85IMG on the sd card.
Or you can look for the most recent ICS leaked ruu zip file to go straight to ICS instead of GB, instructions to use this file remains the same as GB.

So im on das bamf 2.0 with the mr2 radio flashed, i could load the rom and use my phone.But then i decided to unroot the phone, so i flashed the stock rom which worked before and took me back to being on stock and unrooted.But, now when i flashed it said Main Version is lower, in red letters. I now have no root with s-on as well. My phone wont boot because apparently one of the boot images i flashed didnt want to get unflashed. I cant do anything in the bootloader that wont end up with it rebooting the bootloader. I do not have usb debugging on because of the fact that i it FLASHED the pgio5mg or whatever it is that you call it, flashed = turning off usb debugging. Should i try to get a new one from big red? what if they get on to me and not give me a new phone thanks to it saying security warning?
Is there any way for me to be able to use my phone again, whether its getting rooting again or downloading an official gingerbread rom, if thats even out yet?
PLEASE HELP IM ONLY 2 MONTHS IN MY CONTRACT!
Also, at the top of bootloader it says SECURITY WARNING.
u have the wrong radio for the stock phone. u need the MR1 radio. since u still have the PG05IMG on your card it is stuck in boot loop. u need access to a card reader so u can remove that file. that will take care of the boot loop. then just install the MR1 radio.
also if u go to verizon as is, they will not honor your warranty.

You just saved me from a life time of nightmares! But that didnt work, pio5mg or not im stuck in a fruit loop!
The first step after flashing pg05img.zip is to remove it from your sdcard.
Sent from my CM7 ThunderBolt using XDA Premium App
That didnt worrrrrrrk, i flashed the default froyo rom which is , like 23 MB, and it loaded it, but nothing happened it just returned me to bootloader menu!
As long as there is no file named pg05img.zip on the root of your sdcard, you can get into recovery from hboot. Are you able to get into recovery?
From what I understand, if you have the wrong radio for your ROM, the only side effect is that you'll have no signal from verizon. It sounds to me like you just need to reflash the ROM to get the phone to boot properly.

The default FroYo ROM and NO ROM for that matter is 23MB! Should be 300ishMB for Sense based ROMs.

^^ what I was about to say.
The radios are close to 23MB but not the roms.
BTW, @OP, doesn't sound like you followed the directions when going back to stock as the security warning was one of the disclaimers.

sorry i meant to say the defualt froyo radio is around 23 mb, i will try to flash this huge rom again, but now i have to wait like three hours cuz every time i try to flash the rom it says BATTERY VOLTAGE IS TOO LOW, and i cannot go to recovery it just takes me back to the hboot crap. I never read that tutortial guess i shouldve, i couldve sworn all you had to do was flash the defualt rom, DANG IT, i think that since i was on gingerbread this piece of shi doesnt want to flash the froyo rom, the fact that im now unrooted it doesnt want me to downgrade, god im never rooting again!
I rooted my phone by using the 3 click method by the unrevoked teem or whatever they are, i downgraded using the downgradepgoi5mg zip file found inside the folder, i dont know if that hepls but i hope it does.
Hello everyone. I recently purchased the Rezound to test it out and see if I liked it. I have made the decision to send it back and keep my upgrade. I restored a nandroid backup that I made of stock rooted. I thought I was golden and would only need to remove the root apps and re-lock the phone. I went to turn the wifi on and received the "error". I've tried the steps at this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21442702&postcount=3) but I cannot get into recovery to do steps 1 through 3 first. My update to 2.01.605.11 happened immediately once I activated the phone so I am on the newest version.
Is there a way I can get my phone back to 100% stock out of the box? I understand that it will show as "re-locked", but from what I have read that wont be a problem when I return it. I came from the Droid X2 where we could SBF back to stock through RSD.
I should have known better than to begin rooting and modding before I was sure I was going to keep the phone.
Thank you all in advance for your help with this and I hope you all have a blessed day.

The RUU is the closest we have to SBF. Can you do a battery pull and get into HBOOT? If so then you can still run the RUU after you deal with the mainver problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467099
Here is the stock rooted rom. If you dont want to mess with the mainver and ruu.

Thanks guys. I kept fooling with my phone while waiting on your replies. I now have followed steps 1 and 2 in the link I provided above. I formatted my system in recovery as it stated. I am now in recovery but cannot select either of my two nandroid backups. I'm afraid to shut down or reboot. What now?
I'm ready to go back to my X2 where I know what I am doing!

In the Vigor rom collection on the development selection they now have posted the most recent RUU based on the OTA so you can flash that and you will be back to stock. Just have to be relocked and on stock recovery.
OK, so I got a little "cocky" and flashed to another ROM. Apparently it wasn't capability with Rezound as it didn't boot. When I tried to boot into recovery, only could select Hboot. That lead to a loop. Took out the memory card, the SIM chip, battery, cover all to no avail. I finally got Scott's rom that was working back on the phone. But still having issues, the phone constantly reboots. I get to the home screen and/or lock screen it works but then freezes and resets. I no longer have the ability to boot into recovery. When I connect to the MAC (or PC) it says charging only.
When able tried a factory reset but that didn't do anything, I can no longer get to that screen. Did a nandroid backup before playing around with the new ROM but can't figure out how to get to it.
HELP... need your help pretty please
Did you just do a factory reset before you flashed Scott's rom or did you wipe /system as well? Also make sure debugging is enabled as well. Have you tried to boot to recovery with adb?

DOOD YOUR PHONE IS TOTALLY BORKED. PANIC!
Kidding
in all seriousness. What firmware are you on. ICS or GB firmware?
I.E. have you run an RUU, are you s-off or s-on
if you are unsure, just type out like the first 5 lines in HBOOT.

When I was able to select something other than HBOOT I did a factory restore but didn't notice anything different. Also manually deleted. However now when I try to go into recovery mode, only HBOOT is selected and the up/down button doesn't work.
Not sure how to boot to recovery with adp.
Appreciate your wisdom

The last time the phone worked, was running Scott's Clean Rom 4.5, Android 4.0.3
Kernel ver: 3.0.16-g8fa42b5
I believe it's s-off but it's fighting me to get back to the recovery screen
Sadly I'm not sure about RUU
What ROM was it if you don't mind me asking? I mean was it at least for the Rezound if so then it shouldn't be that bad..
I didn't do anything different this morning than last nite, but the phone came back to life. I restored the nadroid backup and it appears to be working. Though getting an error about the SIM card after a reboot.
Don't know what I did wrong when trying to flash or if the ROM just wasn't compatible.
Well I was running the leaked sense ics build and it was causing my phone to overheat so I decided I would switch back to cm7 for a while, when I when I tried to reboot to recovery it just booted showed a black screen then rebooted back to the rom. So I tried to reinstall the recovery from both rom manger and the bootloader nothing worked. I then noticed that it was hard to get my sd card out and that it was slow to load upon boot, odd but it was still readable by the system and I could get to my files on it. I treid a few other sd cards with the same results. It was then I decided it would be a smart idea to try and flash a ruu to try to just return to stock (but leave the bootloader unlocked). I ended up flashing PG05IMG_no_hboot_2.11.605.19.zip from [HOW TO]return to stock (gingerbread) from revolutionary or normal hboot(11/2/11) - xda-developers Which then lead to my phone not booting to rom or recovery all I can get to is the (still unlocked at least) bootloader.
Any ideas on where to proceed? I attempted to run a ruu exe so I can restore it from a computer in case the problem with sd is why it is failing to flash properly but the one I tried 2.11.605.0_Radio_0.01.78.0802w_3_NV_8K_1.41_9K_1.6 4_release_210841.exe required the phone to be booted to the rom to confirm the current build before flashing a new one. Anyone know of a way around that maybe? Or anything?

It may not work but I've had some luck with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703455 in rooting and unrooting, it may be able to see it and do its thing. I know you said you tried different cards but it might be worth looking into reformatting your card in Windows (FAT32) and trying it with a good radio by itself to get it to boot. Then pull or rename the radio zip off the card and then reinstall the ROM or RUU.
hi all its been a while since ive been on the boards because ive been running rooted stock deodexed rom. i havent flashed in a year or so but just recently my settings have stopped.
i continually have been getting this message instantly after ancelling out the message. i cannot get past the select language option. theres no escape.
I couldn't even backup my current rom. so i did a battery pull and rebooted into recovery to flash different roms. I've tried dn3 which was the last rom i had saved to my sd card, and miui7. both yielded the same results of the same message about the settings has stopped. its obvious something has went bad over time. i have done nothing but use it as a phone. no flashing or anything. is there something i need to flash in order to troubleshoot this issue? i do not have the money to obtain a replacement through assurion. also my recovery wouldnt let me restore my 1 backup on my sd card. so is there anything i can do from scratch? any settings zips to flash? Odin? ive searched boards and nothing specific to my device (I605). please help

I'm assuming you are still on the 4.1.2 bootloader, since you were able to flash miui7 and dn3.
If something has gotten corrupted, you could try Odin'ing the stock recovery back onto the device by following the directions on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53624921
After getting the stock recovery on the device, do a factory reset and wipe cache in the stock recovery. Then you can use ODIN to reinstall CWM/Philz or TWRP (whichever recovery you were using previously). Hopefully you have an old backup you could restore... or you can set up your ROM again from the start after rebooting back into the system.
If worse comes to worst and wiping in the Stock recovery doesn't fix things...sounds like you may have to Odin back to stock 4.1.2, and then reroot with CASUAL and start over again. Droidstyle put together a good guide on how to restore the phone back to stock 4.1.2... you can find his guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34891181. I think the 4.1.2 firmware link is down, but you can grab it from Sammobile.com.
You probably know... but don't flash the official Stock 4.3 or 4.4.2 Firmware onto the phone because there's no current bootloader unlock methods for those..... 4.1.2 is the last Android version for our I605's that has a "do it yourself" bootloader unlock method.
