Okay, so I bought a Note 2 that was rooted and unlocked. It's running CleanRom 4.8 with TWRP recovery. Its baseband is I605VRALL4. I have downloaded everything I think I need to return it back to stock. I have Odin3 v3.07, Kies, and I have the pit file downloaded. I downloaded the alternate restore for VRALJRB like droidstyle said to. My problem is this. Odin does not see this file at all. It will see the pit file, but when I open PDA, it can't find the alternate restore file. I downloaded the original file, and Odin sees it just fine. Here's my question. If I try to flash the original file instead of the alternate restore file, will it brick my device or will it flash it just fine but lock the bootloader? I don't mind having a locked bootloader.
Use 7 zip and extract it first

Also if you want a locked bootloader then you can flash the original stock Image.

Ok thanks. That's where I was getting hung up on. The only difference between the 2 files, is one has a locked bootloader and the other one doesn't correct?

I had a custom rom on my phone and i wanted to flash a new one so i did a system wipe from TWRP and now i have nothing on my phone besides TWRP.
I can still get into recovery mode and into the bootloader, so i was wondering if there was any way to flash a rom to my phone without downloading the zip to my phone?
I thought there was a way to completely flash it through fastboot but i cannot figure it out.
is my phone bricked or is there any way to put a rom on it?
ANY support would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Garrett
Download the DNA toolkit and a Rom and you can sideload it from there

Just use adb push or adb sideload. I assume you know how to use adb.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
If you don't know how to use adb very well like me you could try relocking the device and running the ruu. It worked for me after I formatted data on accident. The ruu is located in the development section.

Hi Guys,
My phone has become almost unusable.
It is currently on version 2.3.6, UCKK6 stock un rooted.
From few weeks I am trying to root it, reset it but nothing is working.
Already browsed through countless threads but to no use.
Below are the things I tried
1) Factory Reset through settings menu
2) Factory reset through stock recovery
3) Factory reset through *# code
4) Update firmware through ODIN
5) Update recovery through ODIN
6) Revert to UCKH7 through ODIN
7) Revert to UCKH7, tried re-partition option as last straw through ODIN
Once the phone switches off all the old data/baseband/firmware/files (before April 30th 2012) is restored and new data (after April 30th 2012) gets delete no matter what.
One thing I noticed while trying to factory reset was below message
Can't access to '/system/csc/ATT/system/'
Need your help as you can see I tried most of the available options

Tried it. Installed the 1.42 and rooted. Once the phone reboots there is no trace of the apk or the root and it is back to the old version.
Somehow after the reboot whatever may be the change they are not sticking and it is always going back to the old version.

Great site! Bookmarked! :thumbup:
Trying to install Josh's Jellybomb rom but it keeps giving a failed error. Here are the steps I did.
I wiped everything and then installed freeza's mi5 update
Wiped again and flashed Josh's Jellybomb rom
That's the furthest I got, it says md5 doesn't match, unable to install zip...
I downloaded the md5 file included on Josh's upload but when I try to flash through TWRP, the md5 file does not even show up..can someone help please?
This would probably get answered quicker in his thread.
But since it looks like your following the right steps I'll give you the quick hint of....
Check to see if the md5 matches the downloaded file before trying to flash it.
The md5 will not show up in recovery.
The md5 is just to check against your download to be sure you have a good copy.
It's possible you downloaded an incomplete or corrupt file.

U can probably use md5 checker in the market.
I'm sure there are a ton of apps that do the same.
I usually just check it on the pc before I copy the file to my phone.
There are a ton of ways to do it. Most good compression tools should have this feature built in even.

Using md5 checker specifically but should be similar to all of them.
Just select file one as the image you want to flash.
Set file two to the md5
Press check
The md5 hash from the file to flash should be an exact match to the md5 checksum
If it's not an exact match then bad download try again.

Thanks, I've checked and it matched. trying to download the files for a third time and this time I'm using the mirror link. Hopefully that will work
I got a HTC One yesterday. Rooted, unlocked, s-off, hboot 1.44 with TWRP. Had an older rom on it by Mike1986. Tried to flash his new GPe and am stuck in recovery now, can't boot, cant get adb, cant get usb. Any help would be awesome. Thanks!
First, this should have been in the q&a forum. But anyway, find a sense ruu, and run that. Find the .exe file as that might work if you cant fast boot.

Hi everyone. Got this phone just a few days ago and updated it to 4.4 the next day. Sadly I didn't do any research before doing so and realized I can't transfer files to the memory card with 4.4. Is there a way to flash the older 4.3JB the easy way? Like the Samsung Odin way? The last time I had an HTC was with the One X and I did not do any tinkering with it. So please forgive my noobness. Or is there another way to have the old access to mem card without having to root? Thanks guys.

I have the vzw HTC one max it was rooted soff with NUsense six 4.4.2 rom installed. Well I left my phone laying on the table and went to the store and when I got back my son had it playing around with it. As soon as I walked through the front door he had this look on his face like OH SH$!. My little boy managed to wipe everything everything on my sd card is gone all of my backups everything. So now I'm stuck on the TWRP recovery screen I'm afraid to turn it off. I can still get to bootloader/hboot stuff. There's no OS installed on my phone. Man I don't know what I'm gonna do. I hope that you or someone can help me out here. Also it says that my max isn't rooted but it's still unlocked.

You can use adb to push a Rom to your phone in twrp I believe.
in Command Prompt,
type "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip" replacing ROM with the EXACT name of the ROM file and including the .zip piece on both ends.

You have to root either way. You will need the weaksauce method of Firewater. You cannot downgrade unless s-off. There's an easy fix for your current Rom too.

Ok. So in twrp go to advanced and choose adb sideload. Swipe to enter sideload mode.
Put the Rom you would like to be running in your fastboot/adb directory. Open cmd prompt to that directory and issue the following command ..
Adb sideload nameofrom.zip
Of course using the actual name of your Rom zip instead of nameofrom.zip.

I gave you instructions how. Sideload the last rom you were using with my instructions. You don't need a functioning SD card to do so. It will send the rom to your phone from your PC via USB and flash it for you.
