Hi, I just flashed UK Retail firmware from here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2231289 ) and I wanna go back to nonEIFGS Retail. How can i do that ? When I'm trying to flash an old firmware RSD fails and the phone remains in Fastboot.
It's impossible due to locked bootloader.
If there is no way back, can someone leave a tutorial on how to flash CM10.1 ? And if I flash CM10.1 it would be the only ROM in my phone or I need to keep the Stock too ?
PS: Forgive me but on my old phone things were simplier.
First of all - is your phone rooted? I assume it's not. So the first thing to do if you want CM 10.1 is rooting your phone. Then you should install boot menu manager or safe strap recovery. And with one of these tools you'll be able to flash cm or any other rom. It depends on you whether you want to keep your stock rom or just back it up and delete it.
Yes, my phone is rooted and I tried with BMM but when I booted with the custom rom nothing happend and the red let turned on.

You have to install BMM from google play...
Try booting with BPTools.

Hi, I've been having problems with CWM.
I was trying to install a custom rom, but I can't get the custom recovery to work...
I've tried RAZR Bootstrap Recovery, bootmenu manager, and Rom Manager.
With Bootstrap Recovery the screen goes Black and stays black forever.
With the other two, the phone just restarts without going to CWM...
I have already formated the phone every way possible (I think), but everytime I try to install a Custom Rcovery, I always fail
I have ICS (676.226.3.en.EU) on my RAZR (XT910), and root...
Someone told me about the preinstall folder, but I didn't understand.
I'm sorry, but I'm used to Samsung, and the RAZR is way more difficult to customize...
Thanks in advance :good:

Hi guys,
I have problem like this on my stock GB rom (RAZR XT-910 - 2.3.6).
After rooting and installing Razr Touch Bootstrap, device rebooted into recovery but screen is VERY dark (I can see the logo and some text over logo).
Also software appears to be functional - just tried randomly touch the screen in region where the "menu" should be and entered one of the option and screen was OK, but I don't want wipe everything accidentally .
I saw number of people had same problem with different phones on old Recovery versions but no normal solution.
Thanks for your help.
Hey guys Im trying to get my rooted and ROM'ed ME7 Galaxy S4 back to barebone stock as Im trying to sell the phone.
What things have I done to my phone?
Ive rooted my ME7 S4 and then loaed Safestrap recovery and installed a custom rom on slot 1
Now in the process of trying to get my phone back to stock I did a wipe from safestrap on the stock rom slot which reset the stock rom I then booted from the stock rom n downloaded safestrap and was able to uninstal safestrap so now my phone boot up to a fresh clean s4 without any safestrap recovery splash screen
however my problem is in order to sell my phone I have to be able to do a reset from the settings then accounts tab and backup and reset button
however when I do this the phone reboots and has the Could not do normal boot error odin mode
I assume since I removed the safestrap recovery there is no recovery software at all now?
Can anyone tell me how I can get stock recovery back onto my phone and heres the kicker if at all possible to do so without the use of a PC as I currently dont have access to one but if thats the only way still pkease let me know how I can get stock recovery back
Also im not really concern with unrooting the phone as long as I can get back into the stock recovery. Also if anyone is wondering yes I can install safestrap again and it will boot up like how I had my rooted n rom setup
I just need to get my stock recovery back so I can do factory data resets using the stock recovery n not the wipe method from safestrap recovery
thanks for any help

If you're going to sell it, plug it in to your PC and run the Verizon Recovery Assistant. It'll wipe and reinstall for you.
long story short, I bricked my device after I installed the GPE on my non Google edition i wanted to go back to monx rom, so I went into recovery did advance wipe and deleted everything except the external sd card.
When I wanted to flash the rom in twrp it was unable to flash so now I am stuck with a non functioning phone, with the google words on the screen and the device does not turn off.
I wanted to flash an ftf using flashtool, but it does not get recognized as I can't enter flashmode
So please help

Can you power off the phone by long pressing power and volume up together?
finally solved it, it took me 4 hours, fumbling around
i could not even turn off the phone, I did so many things that all I can say be careful when u revert back from GPE to sony rom
You really like to overdramatize everything don't you? It wasn't bricked. The problem is you not reading before you do anything.
What I would of done is flash a 209 base rom via twerp etc recovery and then use flash tool to flash stock 209 sony firmware which should work.
Okay, So the title pretty much says it all. I am stuck at the Samsung boot logo (not bootanimation) and it only shows for about 1 second then reboots and continues.
This started after I tried to flash a rom and it messed up and I tried to flash via odin. I was on MJ9 and and got a bootloop so I did the odin thing. I've used odin before but it is not working well for me now.
I am able to boot into download mode but TWRP no longer works. I was able to flash via odin and it says success but the phone does not reboot like it should.
I have purchased a galaxy nexus on the cheap to hold me over until the nexus 6 is out but if I can fix my note, I would like to.
I know there were other threads about this same issue but it seems that they are all on a different version of the note, or on a s3 or something. Not to mention, I don't see anything that I could try without asking for some help on here. Can someone maybe point me in the direction of the factory firmware (preferably a rootable or already rooted version) that I can flash that will play well with my note.
Thanks guys!!!

Before you tried to flash a custom ROM and things went wonky...were you on Verizon's factory stock 4.3 MJ9 firmware, or on Beanstown106’s modified 4.3 MJ9 with TWRP installed?
Does the phone still boot into stock recovery? If so, you may be able to fix the phone by doing a factory reset.

If you were on Verizon's factory stock 4.3 MJ9, then you won't be able to Odin flash back to 4.1.2 or any earlier Android version because the bootloader has been locked down tight on 4.3 (and 4.4.2) with no current do it yourself method to unlock for those newer versions. You would want to restore the phone back to factory stock 4.3 though, if that's what version you were on before your phone got messed up. You can root the phone on 4.3 with saferoot, then use safestrap recovery to flash some custom Touchwiz ROM's.
If you were on the 4.1.2 based bootloader, (but running Beanstown106’s MJ9 firmware and TWRP), then you would want to restore your phone back to factory stock 4.1.2 and then root and unlock the bootloader again with CASUAL. This would give you the most flexibility with flashing custom kernels, ROM's, etc...
Check out Section 1b in Droidstyle's restore guide at this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34891181. The guide has download links for the files you'll need to restore the phone back to the correct build version.
Hi all,
I have problem with my phone again!! I have exintenz rom installed at the moment but need to unroot and flash stock so I can send it back to Sony
unrooting is easy.
flashing a stock rom is not so easy for me... I cant connect to a pc (the fault is with the micro USB not working properly, it connects but doesn't recognize it). so tft and flash tool is a no go.
Is there a way to flash a stock rom from recovery that will get rid of the recovery as well? no root?
I have found prf creator but that is for a rooted stock rom, i just want stock.
I have an OTA notification but it wont install it just says try again after restarting.
Any advice is great, I think I have been clear but please ask me to clarify if i haven't.

From recovery, no atleast without root.
