Hi Pal
as you can read thread title, i flashed my MB855 Sprint with US Cellular SBF.
How can i get back to Sprint stock, any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Someone write to the moderator to make it sticky and everyone will know it immediately (maybe) . Should I give the thread another name? I don't know.
2.3.5 sv2 custom sbf/unbrick - in development section
And if there are some unclear points, tell me.
But I think, if someone wants to unbrick, he must give it some time and read and read. So there is link in another thread, where you can read more.
Hi mate,
Thanks for coming here, actually i read it more and more trying to follow all your procedure written over there.
But m stuck @ boot loader unlock process.
Code:
G:\Motorola\Original\Android\MB855\moto-fastboot-win32>fastboo
ata
... FAILED (remote: (00180001))
So without unlocking bootloader m not able to root the phone, right ? no root means none of your procedure gonna works for me, right bro?
Now please you help me step by step.
If you updated to the latest OTA, the bootloader is currently not unlockable. You can only root.

But rest procedures are still not done by me, trying trying.......
You should stop trying before you mess something up. The bootloader cannot be unlocked at the moment, if on the latest OTA.

Hi, I'm sorry for the probably stupid question but I've been trying to unlock and have been having a few issues. I'm running AT&T 4.5.91 OTA (rooted) and would like to unlock.
I have read the warnings about flashing to lower versions and am aware that I am unable to do so. The problem I am running into is that after running the command fastboot oem unlock, I am never given a device id so i can unlock my device. Any ideas on ways I can fix this?

Are you sure you have flashed pudding SBF?

yes just unlocking the bootloader. actually the link is wrong?
Would this be the right procedure? I was reading the wiki and want to ask..
I would do the following...
(I am rooted; BulletProof 2.5.. Android 2.3.4 - Tmobile)
1) Follow this tutorial to unroot and get back to stock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27058110&postcount=44
2) Follow this tutorial to install ICS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26865752&postcount=27
3) AND...Then... I will be unrooted..
How would I root again on ICS?
So is this the right procedure??
and what would I do for (#3)?

You don't necessarily need to use my OTA tutorial if you're gonna restore to complete stock GB, then you can just download the file via the software update option on your phone and let it install the update itself, the guy above answered your final question already.

, go for it then. If you're on tmobile, there's a file that can be used as a PH85IMG to update instead, that may be a bit easier if the OTA is iffy.
ok got the image...
For rooting ICS, do I still unlock the bootloader.. the whole process?
and thanks for all the help so far.

Yes unfortunately bc don't you need a recovery like cwm or 4ext to flash super user? Anyways you should s off. Makes everything super easy.

Does make it super easy, doesn't have to though, it's all upto him if he wants to. Lol at needing my approval, about time you started being confident in what you say dude, you've messed with your own device, you should know which was better for you in your opinion, your opinion matters since you did do it and you know the benefits personally.
Ok, I can give S-OFF another try.. but last time I tried and I was in this rom: "BulletProof 2.5" , it did not work.... so from experience of you guys, what rom have people been the most sucessful getting S-OFF??
You won't need s-off if you using the method I gave you

ok, ill think about the 2 options.. with S-OFF and with S-ON.
but as far as reverting to stock to then flash ICS, no instruction says I need to have my bootloader back locked... I do, right?

Relocked is the same and when attempting s-off, stock rooted rom is a better call, it saves you the hassle that custom roms may cause.
I mean the MD5 sums fail on both PHP8img w/e name... and the nand backup to restore to original ginger garbage.. so I think it's because I have to relock my bootloader by doing OEM_lock or whatever the command is.
do I have to lock bootloader to go back to stock?
and also.. do I need to flash the original kernel?
come on.. someone answer me please... I will make a REALLY good tutorial noob proof for everyone else when I finish doing this.

I was also having problems with my downloads so I downloaded thru my phone. I also found that I had better luck downloading straight from football's account on file factory. You can find his account on stock roms collection page 5 snargaflab post where it says "here"
Hope this helps, as far as locking bootloader when s on I think you do have to lock bootloader. If nobody is helping I suggest you try it out.

Lock your bootloader via the fastboot oem lock command or use hasoon's tool to do it,
download this file here: http://d-h.st/3VD
Place that on your sd card and rename it PH85IMG do not place it in any folders, etc.
Reboot into hboot via the volume down/power button method, when your hboot finds the file, hit volume up to update, phone will reboot on it's own. You're on ICS.
Unlock your bootloader, install 4ext recovery via hasoon's tool and hit the Perm root ICS/GB option, follow all on screen instructions.
All done, official ICS and you're now rooted as well.
Unlock bootloader then flash this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141129
Then use facepalm S-off
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155069
Follow the steps correctly and you will be able to get S-off. I tried it and it worked for me on two devices

Most people were rooted prior to the OTA but you can root the OTA. I know because I had to do it myself.
wait a minute... we can root with the 2.0 OTA????? What am I missing here?

You must have had an unlocked bootloader or something because this method does not work for people who took the OTA and weren't unlocked beforehand...
The thread name is kind if misleading. Most people on OTA have locked bootloaders and we can't unlock or root or s-off.

This thread is horribly misleading. If you recieved the phone on the ota or you updated your phone before you rooted it you are currently UNABLE to root your phone.

You would have had to unlocked your bootloader before you followed the guide you posted.
And I just realized that on top of this being misleading, it is pointless. You don't have to be on a pre ota rom to get s off. If you are unlocked then you can s off on the ota.

I'm sorry if this is misleading to some but as I stated in the OP I tried this one two devices (only one had an unlocked bootloader prior to attempting this) and a few other people that wanted to get S-off after receiving the OTA and it worked for them so any mis-information is unintentional

My DNA was not rooted or had a prior unlocked bootloader at the time I took the OTA and I managed to unlock my bootloader, root then S-off and load Newt's Sense 5 ROM. I wouldn't have posted this thread if I didn't do it myself and that's why I sited the steps I used. The people that messaged me about it also tried it and it apparently worked for them prior to me making this thread.

We don't mean to be Debbie Downers, but there are just a few very knowledgeable devs working on getting the bootloader unlocked and have so far not managed to do that. What you claim to have done is what pretty much everybody is talking about on this forum and there's a bounty for it too.If you have anything showing you went from the latest 2.xx ota to fully unlocked we'd all give you hero status.

I'm not looking for hero status or any fanfare. I know what I did and wanted to help so I posted the steps that I followed to get unlocked because I didn't do anything special. I posted the method and the only way to prove it would be to get another DNA and do it again because posting a screenshot of my device now means nothing
If the steps I took helped others then I'm happy and if it doesn't then I'm sorry for unintentionally misleading some.
Before bashing or accusing me of trying to mislead I would suggest trying the steps I took because I have no reason to lie and didn't claim to do some masterful wizardry of hacking either

You are wrong about something here. You CANNOT unlock the bootloader of a phone that is on the ota and hasn't previously been unlocked. That is why there is a 500 dollar bounty for the person who finds the exploit that allows us to do that.

The step you listed is to unlock the bootloader. You provided no other info besides that. It is simply not possible to do that if you are on 2.04. If you did somehow manage to do that then explain it and go collect your 500 bucks.

I have a DNA, which I use as my second phone. I was messing around with it and I somehow re-locked the bootloader and turned S-On on. I still have root access, verified with root checker from Play Store. I can't remember exactly what I did when I got the phone... I had S-Off, unlocked bootloader, and root and was running Cryo for Droid v1.1.3. I tried updating to v1.2 and wifi wouldn't enable. I tried re-flashing the radio, but it wouldn't flash. That's when I started messing with it. As of right now, I am on 2.04xxx, running Cryo v.1.2 with root access, but bootloader is locked and S-On. Also, there is no custom recovery. No matter if I try installing TWRP or CWM. Whenever I try to boot into recovery red triangle with red exclamation point. If anyone knows a way to get me back on track I'd greatly appreciate it. Hopefully, they come out with 2.04xxx RUU.

You should be able to re-use the unlock.bin code you got from HTC-dev.com and unlock the bootloader again.

Thanks... It is weird. I got the bootloader re-unlocked and S-Off. I had been trying the same things and then yesterday I tried unlocking and S-Off and it worked. I haven't used my DNA is a couple of months. I don't know much about the DNA, my usual phone is a GSIII, which to me is a bit easier to mod. I'll be donating...
