Quick question for you all.
I currently am s-off and running fresh's rom.
I would like to move to the Stock w/ Goodies 3.28.
Can I just do a factory reset on my phone and then flash the stock w/ goodies ROM? or is there more to it. I have used fresh since I got my OG EVO and never tried anything else, so I don't know how to switch roms.
I'm assuming that to update the radios and prl i can just use the Full Firmware zip located here: http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...dio-Collection&p=220556&viewfull=1#post220556
Do I need to update the hboot, recovery or boot img files?
TIA

You don't need to update hboot, recovery, and boot image. When you switch roms you should always wipe: cache, dalvic cache, factory reset, and system. Note that this does erase everything so back up your contacts, texts, and apps you wish to keep

Thanks for the quick response. I'm running titanium backup as we speak. I figured it was good to have a backup either way.

Hi,
I accidentally updated to Gingerbread on my Thunderbolt, and I forgot I rooted my phone, by the time I remembered it already had a blue android and an explaimation mark. So I did some random crap, and probley made it worse.
First I did the vol down power thing went to factory reset it loaded CWM v4.0.1.4
I wiped cache patition
Dalvick cache
and Battery stats
then I wiped data/factory reset
It loaded like it was brand new everything seemed fine till I updated and did same thing so I wiped the data again and now it keeps auto updating so I have to keep my internet off
and it's annoying as crap
I'm a noob so I don't understand stuff
should I go ahead with this guide:

I couldn't understand it and if your not rooted why would you unroot I don't get that part...
Do I still have root?
What does flash exactly mean?
Current Specs (I don't know what to give but I'll guess)
Thunderbolt
Top says
Mecha XD S-OFF
HBOOT 6.04.1002
eMMC-boot
Android Version 2.2.1
(tell me if you need any other info)
Should I upgrade to gingerbread any way
Download a customer rom, put it on your sd card and flash it in CWM. I'm running BAMF forever and like it. There are plenty of roms to choose from. This should stop the update. After running the rom if you decide you like stock better you can flash the stock rom back and take the update. You will loose root.
Pull the update off the SD. It will stop flashing it

I had a friend who's phone auto updated and is stuck on the htc boot screen. Will deleting the update off the sd card work also? Her phone is not rooted, just hoping to save her from having to replace it.
And how do you forget you rooted your phone?
If pulling the update off the sd what do i need to look for
i have a similar problem

1) The phone will not boot all the way up?
2) is the recovery stock or CWM?
3) do you have a recent back up made?
4) do you have s-off?

1. it boots up all the way, turns off after 10-20s each time, regardless of what action i'm taking
2. cwm recovery
3. no backups recent or not
4. i don't know if i 'have it' but when i load hboot the status is 's-off'
Does it crash or shut off? Maybe a hardware problem?
It powers down the normal way.

If you clear the cache, the shutdowns will stop.
But the OTA will download again, and in a few days you will have to repeat the process.
A custom ROM fixed me, but now the same thing poped up.
May go back to stock .... trying xdabolt, but in the process lost my data.

What am I looking for on the SD card to remove?
sounds like you still have s-off. Anything you are trying to save like app data is gone if you do not have a back up. I would down load a customer rom or even one of the rooted stock versions with the latest OTA and flash that with CWM recovery. Be sure to clear cache and dalvick wipe first when you flash it. There are RUU you could use to return it to stock, but you will lose root. I'm running BAMF forever 1.0.9 and like it. Play around with some roms and if you don't like them use a RUU to restore you back to stock. Most important is make sure you read up on things first.
Hey I endded up just unrooting using this video
(can't show video url)
(Search how to unroot on youtube you should see it by nat3mil and I think that's only if you have revolutionary)
and I guess the video would work too.
If you restored to factory settings using power and vol down buttons and wiped the data in the revolutionary thing, and then followed the video...
phones working now and the video's idiot-proof
just posting this if anyone else needded to unroot

You would think but I have seen people who after being on here a year still don't know the difference between flashing something in ROM manager or recovery.

unrooting is good and all, but if that happens again, just look around for the newest ruu and find a rooted version. most ruu get rooted that day... heck i had 2.11.605.5 rooted b4 verizon released it (the 2nd leak, the one WITH working vm notifications) thanks to eris of course. then you'd be up to date, stock, rooted... all you'd have to do is wipe dalvik, cache, and system... keep the data (if coming from sense 2.1 rom) and you'd be good.
i don't mess with sense 2.1/3.0 hybrid or 3.0 roms anymore, for this very reason. a ton of incompatibilities between the roms and framework, causing you to have to wipe data when switching... what a pita! i haven't wiped data in months. keep the data always to make life easier...
if you have problems, use clockwork's "fix permissions" and reboot. problem not solved? then retry rom installation WIPING EVERYTHING, then at least you tried to keep your stuff. titanium backup is great for backing up apps + data, so you can import the data back when you're stable on the new rom... just restore the apps + data for the necessary apps, and app only for the stuff that doesn't mnatter... never restore system apps + data for roms with severely different basebands or from completely different roms. unrooting won't be necessary next time
I had my phone half rooted, OTA came and I selected to defer, well I forgot and now I have the security warning.I tried flashing through the bootloader on my SD card the stock file and I still have the security warning. I use my phone as my internet source so it's been a big PITA. The phone starts, goes to 1x, then 4G, then restarts over and over.
Won't load into recovery, won't factory reset, using HBOOT USB and the command prompt the device isn't recognized.
Right now its as follows:
S-ON

If the phones rooted you can prolly get into recovery VIA hboot.
If its not rooted you can prolly find a ota ruu and flash it in hboot. U can do that if its rooted too but ull lose root. Or if its a locked s off there's methods to roll back to factory and turn s on. And yes delete the orig update off the card

Anyone, or flash to Gingerbread? I really need my 4G my OG DROID battery is f**ked, I NEED THIS PHONE WORKING!
I have S-Off, the leaked May Hboot, an ICS ROM (Nils' Business ICS 3.4 S-off version), but the ICS radios simply do not work.
Today I tried them and had barely functioning cell reception, crap battery life, and only 1x data.
Then I flashed the OTA GB radios, and everything was perfect. Lightening fast 4g, killer cell reception, and great battery.
Why?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
The Beeb
Try this one. There are a couple floating around that may have problems but this one works for me
ICS Latest Radio
Just remove everything in the name before the PH and flash in bootloader (I know, you know this but others may not)
May also want to match the kernel
Thanx, Nils. I'll try it after work today.
BTW, I'm on your new kernel release, and it's running great.

Pretty sure you were so let me know how you make out.
If it ain't broke don't fix it. There are people who would kill for "Lightening fast 4g, killer cell reception, and great battery. "

After updating radios, may need to have stock recovery installed and do a factory reset in hboot, then reflash recovery, rom, & kernel.

Just mentioning is all. I had issues myself with data+voice until doing the above. Now I have spot on 4g and calls are crystal.

That was with the older leak, same radios.

+1 you probably NEED to do this.. I know I always do..
In superchilpil's firmware thread he does say to wipe and reinstall or you'll have 4g problems.

"YOU MUST FACTORY RESET IN THE BOOTLOADER TO FIX DATA ISSUES"
Actually it was Snuzzo who informed me that I need to do that after not reading all the words on the flashing instructions. You know figured I would just skip that part well thats fine if you want your data dropping in and out, no 4G and just general ****tyness..
I did a wipe/factory reset in bootloader, and then restored a CWM Backup of Nils' ROM.
When that didn't work, I did it again and wiped everything and started over with a fresh install... No joy.

You have to have the stock recovery in order to factory reset in the bootloader. If you have a custom recovery such as cwm or ra it won't do the reset needed for the radio to work correctly.
Flash stock recovery
Factory reset
Boot to make sure radios work right
Fastboot install custom recovery
Restore backup

I'm on the latest leak (or official if you prefer) rooted with s-off and CWM.
I'm getting terrible battery life and from what I have read, it could be a bad flash. Can I take the same rom I'm on, charge fully, and just flash it again in recovery? Or do I have to lock my bootloader and go back to stock recovery?
Thanks guys,
Just flash via hboot,it's a stock ruu, you'll have to re-root and reinstall your recovery.
Can I do all this while avoiding wiping or will it wipe everything when flashing?
I'll be honest, I have no clue if it wipes your data, it possibly does, so make a backup of your data partition, you can restore this after flashing, note to wipe battery stats after restoring.
flashing the ruu will erase everything and put the phone the way it was when you took it out of the box, so back up everything you dont want deleted

ok i recommend getting on hboot 2.28 with the updated radios of 2.23.10.0123r/2.23.10.0124r for s-on users and going to a 4.12 or 4.2.2 based rom for most stability...i also reccommend using twrp...while flashing from rom to rom you have to wipe more than just those 3 or you will have errors from any rom you go to as its still reading from prior roms if not done correctly. heres the proper method:
Wipe ALL data/factory reset x2
Wipe /data x2
Wipe /cache x2
Wipe Dalvik-cache x3
Wipe /system x3
wiping system and dalvik cache is very important amongst the others....if you dont know how to do all the mentioned above pm me and ill get you links and instructions...also note that the 4.3 based roms are having mms issues...so if its only on those roms that your having an issue than theres nothing me can do at this time till we figure that fix out

I'm trying to flash the Santod Stock ICS, debloated, deodexed ROM onto my phone.
I'm coming from Stock GB, and I have already got S-OFF and Root with the HTC Thunderbolt All-in-one-tool.
However, I am currently confused and stuck on what to do next. The catch is that I dont get my service through Verizon, but through Mobi PCS in Hawaii which basically just offers 3G and this required me to pay someone locally to hack the phone and input manually the data settings.
Now, I notice that in the instructions for flashing this ROM is to totally wipe the partitions. Is this really necessary? Only asking because I don't want to lose the data settings and possibly have the phone not be able to have service or have to pay for the settings to be put back on.
I have already created a backup through 4ext, so I think I should be fine with that part. Is there a way for me to back up the data portion of the phone, wipe the partitions, and restore it after I flash the ROM? Besides all that, which radio should I flash first before the ROM?
I would really appreciate some help if anyone has the time.
Thanks
Since you made a nand backup in 4ext you should be OK to do a full wipe (yes you have to full wipe, data,cache and system). If something is wrong then restore your backup and you should be OK. The problem I see you having is that you will have to flash the new radios in order to flash ICS. I'm pretty sure that will mess up any settings you have for the modem which means you would have to get your phone flashed to that service again.

Nah you don't have to wipe the SD. Also, since you have to do a full wipe you can use an app called titanium backup to back up user apps and data. Make sure you don't restore system apps from gingerbread into ICS.
