I've soft bricked my HTC wildfire s 5 times lol that's before I found out about nandroid backup :p, so how many times have you bricked/soft bricked your phone?
[General Questions and Answers] Al Capino:
two phones: Galaxy S I9000 and Galaxy note.

Both recovered :D
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
Ok, if it was recovered it was not bricked. A brick is an irreversible f*** up. If your phone is bricked you need a new phone, or factory repair.
[General Questions and Answers] Android311:
That's true
[General Questions and Answers] mtmerrick:
none. :P

closest i've came is an F-ed up ODIN flash, but that was pretty easy to repair.

[General Questions and Answers] Notthedroidyourelooking4:
Well hell, I have a bricked LG E739 right here! Tried to root it over the weekend, and now my home screens won't show up. I can send and receive texts, and also make calls using the "genius" button, but other than that, the phone is pretty much useless.

I managed to get to the factory reset within the applications tab after my phone said I needed updates for some programs, but it showed the android unpacking screen and then shut off. Now it's factory reset, but with the same problems.

I've spent the weekend and a little bit of today trying to use the LG mobile support tool to see if I could update the thing, or use the "recovery phone" option, but it tells me I have the latest version already.

Is there a way I can find a rom somewhere to flash this thing? I don't believe Cyanogenmod supports the mytouch 4g's (LG E739) yet, so I have a feeling I'm going to be on the waiting list for some time...

Bricked my OG Droid 3 or 4 times. Droid 2 more times than I can count. Literally probably 80 times. Droid 2 Global probably 3 or 4 times. Every one was recovered. I'm kind of proud that, lol.
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
Once again, if it was recovered it was not bricked.

On that note, I have never bricked a phone. I have been stuck in bootloops and couldn't get into recovery, but was able to bring it back with a factory image.

[General Questions and Answers] benthe1:
I guess it depends on what you mean by brick. If it's the type of brick you can recover from by downloading some software to your computer and restoring it then I have bricked 3 phones. If you're talking about truly bricking your phone then I have never bricked a phone. I've always been able to recover it somehow.

This OTA broke wifi.

I am unlocked, was rooted, but no longer.

all stock.

and now there is an "error" under the wifi toggle. it can't:mad: be turned on.

Anyone seen this? :confused:
[HTC Rezound] Hag77:
If wifi was really broke from this update I'm sure there would be a real s$&tstorm brewing all over the intertubes. I would try the update again if you wanna stay stock otherwise try reroot and custom rom to see if wifi is back. Personally I only ran the updated version long enough to get the radio and quickly get back to ics..
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
You need to flash the kernel modules for the kernel you are using
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Hey! I have that too... gonna try reflashing the kernel. Was on dsb before update but thought I'd stay stock to check battery life with it. Didn't reflash after restoring my nand.

EDIT: Reflashed stock kernel, wifi error. Flashed dsb, error on flashing the update, "mainver is older" which is exactly what I didn't want to have happen with the OTA.

trickster: When you say modules what do you mean?
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Hey feralicious , how are you trying to flash the kernel ? It's my understanding if you flash in fastboot the mainver of the kernel shouldn't matter. It only has issues if you try to PH98img.zip flash it that the android.text.file needs to be changed in the zip to successfully flash.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
The dsb is flashed in recovery, then goes to hboot to flash the update which is a PH98img.zip file.

I found where scrosler posted a kernel to flash that is for the OTA version and flashed that and I see that my kernel info changed a bit but still get an error for wifi.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21907238&postcount=18

So now I just tried 3 times to restore the nand I made immediately after I downloaded the OTA and I don't know what is going on but it says restored and then when I reboot it's not that stock version, it's already back to Ineffabilis. I realize all things point to operator error but I've been making nands all along and have gone back to them with no problem and this doesn't make any sense! Ugh. All this rooting stuff was going so smoothly until now. I made that specifically so I could go back to stock + OTA that I had on my phone.

I don't know if I can start all over now since I'm already updated with the mainver. Guess I can try to use con247's ROM + OTA but there are no instructions for that.

I guess I need to go to sleep. Maybe do a factory reset tomorrow and try starting from scratch.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Take the boot.img out of the Ph98 file and flash it manually in fastboot .

wipe data/factory in recovery then in amon ra go to developer menu boot to bootloader.. take the boot.img you removed and either place it in the same folder as fastboot or if you have set the path for adb so you can run it from anywhere . Open up a CMD , change directory to the folder with fastboot and type fastboot flash boot boot.img

This will flash the wifi module for you without encountering the mainver issue.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Well it seems that flashing scrosler's newer mainver boot.img should have fixed it. Right now I'm restoring a nand. I made them correctly but wasn't thinking straight about what they were, so I think I was restoring the last Ineffabilis from before grabbing the OTA. I'm now restoring the last one I made that should be stock OTA. Then I'll check wifi on that.

Was going to edit out the whole part about my nands from my previous post since I realized I wasn't remembering correctly but now you've gone and quoted it and spoiled my plan. :p Aha! I see the HTC boot animations so now I've got it back to stock OTA. Drum roll...

and wifi is working!

So the wifi error has to do with restoring a nand of the custom ROM. Tomorrow I'll try flashing the ROM fresh instead and see if wifi remains, unless someone knows that this will not make a difference.

Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] majorhunadadun:
I had this issue and it's from restoring a nand of a stock updated rom after I was in a mainver loop. What I did was go back to a stock gb nand I made and wifi was fine. I took the OTA again and rerooted. I'm good now. Do you have a stock gb nand handy??
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Mine's all good now as far as WiFi as mentioned above. Just have to find out if I can use Innefabilis with the OTA. Thanks.

I did find out that I was not actually rooted after the OTA as I thought I was so that could be what caused it. Root explorer worked and superuser was in my apps so I assumed... But when I went to use Tibu just now it said I didn't have root, so that could be what went wrong for me. Now that I'm sure of root I'm going to try to restore my Innef. Nand and see if it still breaks WiFi.

Hey OP! Have you got your WiFi working?
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
CONFIRMED: Flashing/restoring Ineffabilis breaks wifi.

Wifi is fine with just the OTA but I get the error after restoring a nand with Ineffabilis or flashing it from scratch again.
[HTC Rezound] Hag77:
Did you flash ineff's kernel as well? Everything is workin great here, wifi included.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Argh. The one in the first post of the Ineff thread, stock rooted? Yes. Someone posted in the Ineff thread that they have wifi as well.

I have a feeling it's because I didn't lock before updating?... but I read others saying it wasn't necessary. Starting over. Again.

Well I did everything over again using con247's method. This time I locked and unlocked. So now I'm ready to put Ineffabilis back on.

Hag77... did you restore a nand or reflash it from scratch? And was the kernel you flashed the stock rooted one in the first post of that thread? And did you flash before as well as after getting Ineff back or just after? What is the version/date of your kernel now? Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] remmy5r:
I have tried twice now to dl the ota ROM, wifi doesnt work on it for me. I looked in the kernel file, then ph98img and tried to extract, said path was not valid.... What should I do?

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Download OTA rom, and remove the ph98file from it. Place the OTA rom file on the root of the SD card with the Ph98img file removed. Now , open the Ph98 file on desktop and just pull out the file boot.img ( looks like a silver disc with a white background) Place that file into your fastboot folder that you used to unlock your device with.

Reboot phone to recovery, wipe data/factory reset. Once wiped, install the OTA rom zip .. after that is done installing, go to the main menu of recovery again and select developer menu. In developer menu choose reboot to bootloader. Once in hboot, plug phone into the computer and select fastboot.

It should say fastbootusb highlighted if properly connected and in fastboot.

P.S. you don't extract it, just drag it out of the ph98 and drop it into your fastboot folder

Now, got to the folder with fastboot and the boot.img image and open up a command prompt ...Make sure the command prompt is showing the folder your in as the path .. then just type fastboot flash boot boot.img.. this will send the boot.img kernel image to your phone.

Once, that is done reboot and you should now have the OTA installed with the proper kernel.
[HTC Rezound] Hag77:
I went straight back to my nand backup of ineff- then flashed kernel with fastboot.. I never ever ever flash kernels w/ ph file- not that it can't be done successfully I've just seen too many people run into problems doing it. Flashing kernels w/ fastboot is the only way I trust and it's supereasy (although requires pc).. So to sum up- my path was

relock- ruu to scott's posted ruu

skip all setup on ruu and go straight to the update

reboot into updated phone once

pull battery- hboot- install amonra

restore nand

flash kernel

success
[HTC Rezound] remmy5r:
The ph98img wont let me open it. when I click on it (not to extract) it says its invalid. I redownloaded just the ph98img from the ota rom thread and samething. Will I have to completely re download the ota ROM?
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Are you double clicking on it. Might have to download a program called 7zip. It is a free program that will let you unzip folders. I double click on the folder and I am able to open it up, but I do have 7zip installed so maybe thats why.
[HTC Rezound] FcoT:
The thing is that I am pure stock, just rooted. I went to recovery and recovered to my original and only back up, everything works now, but I am afraid that the update will self push and break it again.

:(
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Well easiest way to prevent that would be to flash a custom recovery , then the update will fail. Guess , I didn't realize you could back up with the stock recovery never tried it :).

Unless your saying you don't want to Unlock at all, then I am not sure because the update will get pushed to a stock rom with stock recovery. Don't think there is anything you can do except alter some files I suppose , but just as easy to accept the update :)
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
I had this too.. all i did was flash this thing from andybones in recovery and it fixed wifi lol
[HTC Rezound] DigiDave:
I did a nand back up right before I flashed the OTAStockRooted ROM from con247. After going through that whole process, I restored the Ineff back up I just did before the OTA. I fastboot flashed the boot.img I had used when I first installed Ineff. I had used ziggy's kernel so I used the same boot.img and my wifi is working with the ineff v1.0 nand restore.
[HTC Rezound] remmy5r:
Did that, nothing happens. Can someone pull th ph (who has accessed the one from con) or the boot.IMG needed and send it to me? Would that work like that?
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
What kernel did you flash at the end? The one in the first post of the Ineffabilis thread? I've tried flashing that one and also tried the new stock OTA one and neither worked. Both using fastboot.

Btw... are you talking GB or ICS? I'm trying to get GB back.
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
This is quite simple my friend.

OTA has a new kernel.

a new kernel has NEW wifi "Modules"

u need these modules for the new OTA kernel to work

u have two options, simply go back to pre-OTA kernel..

or, use my file here to flash in recovery to give you the wifi "modules" and ge the OTA kernel working on Ineffibilis..

here is my thread on the new OTA kernel..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1467793

flash "file 1" in recovery, its the wifi modules, here is a direct link..

http://dev-host.org/n4vvlfld7qw3/2.01.605.11.zip
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Interesting. I usually grab things out of zips by having the zip in the right "folders" column of windows explorer and then you can see the contents in the right side where it will list files and folders. This is the ONLY zip I cannot do that with. I too get the "invalid" message when trying to do this. I can however unzip it using winrar and that works fine.
[HTC Rezound] Hag77:
I'm on ics- but it shouldn't matter.. Had I been going back to ineff gb I would have used flashboot to flash the gb rooted stock kernel which can still be found on the mikmik site official thread for ineff gb. Bottom line is I'm sure you'll get this figured out- I can pretty much assure you that the ota did not permanently break wifi on GB. As I've encouraged others- ditch the ph file for now and do it in adb! You'll be back to normal in no time.

edit- sry I read your post more thoroughly and saw that you did try fastboot- No error msgs in fastboot? and what command did you run?
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
So... I had the new kernel on my phone after the OTA. So is it that my nand doesn't have those modules? Why did others restore their nand of the same ROM with no problems? I hate the voodoo aspect of all of this, I don't see why the same thing doesn't work for everyone. It's not so simple after all, my friend. :p

Hm... I wonder if I was the only one running dsb kernel before because that installs other stuff before flashing the boot.img. I bet that's it. So my nand could be different due to that. That would make sense. And all I want is for it all to make sense! :D

---------- Post added at 11:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 AM ----------

I think I figured out why my situation is different as I mentioned in my post above. Can you confirm you were not using the dsb kernel as I suspect? DigiDave was using ziggy's kernel and he had no issue.

And I totally agree with using adb whenever possible. All this renaming everything you flash to PH... just to make it "easier" doesn't sit right with me. Too many things named that left lying around and you don't know what anything is any more. I need to know the the whats and whys of what I'm doing.

Thanks for the help!
[HTC Rezound] Hag77:
Your nand does not fully restore the kernel. It still has to be be "finished" by installing it via the ph file or via adb/fastboot (fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img)

No- I never used dsb- only the one newt included.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Yeah, I was just going to edit my post because it occurred to me that I also tried flashing Ineffabilis fresh and that didn't work either. Damn, I really want to get to the bottom of this! There should be a logical explanation. I suppose I should just go flash the modules andybones posted and see if that works but I hate not knowing what happened!

Going to try flashing Ineffabilis again and see what happens... then if it doesn't work I guess I'll have to surrender. :o

EDIT:

Okay, wait... so the dsb kernel installs in recovery, it has a lot of stuff in there besides the boot.img and android-info.txt that installs before it gets around to flashing the boot.img. It had failed before due to the mainver error. So just now I restored my Ineff nand, started the dsb kernel install in recovery, then when it got to the update part where it flashes the PHzip in hboot I flashed the boot.img in fastboot, powered down and put the sd card in pc and deleted the PHzip, rebooted phone and now I have Ineff ROM, dsb kernel and working wifi!

All this leaves me with the question of how would I get off this kernel at some later time? Seems it is integrated in something somewhere, or was it just my nand? But if it was just my nand then flashing the ROM from scratch without using my nand should have worked fine but it didn't. The only thing that worked was finishing my dsb kernel install This concerns me for future kernel changing. I'll ask about this in the kernel thread.

Thanks everyone for helping me work through this!
[HTC Rezound] FcoT:
I wish we could keep this post about stock roms, in order to weed out variables.

I recovered back to stock, because I have a custom recovery. This been on my mind, so today, I tired accepting the OTA again. I am on a stock rom, custom recovery and unlock boot-loader. This time I used root-keeper:cool: to save my root, so I was not rooted.

Weird thing is that during the application, the phone rebooted into my custom recovery, it stalled the rom, but not the new radios. Needless to say, it broke wiffi again.
[HTC Rezound] Hag77:
This is the last thing I'll chime in with- then you can keep it at stock rom talk.. Installing custom rom from scratch w/o nand will also not clear up your kernel prob. The only thing that changes the kernel at all levels from a perspective of a "rom install" is an RUU OTA, etc (at least for now). Installing custom roms (even from scratch) is essentially the same as a nand restore. Your old kernel will still be "stuck" there until you flash it in fastboot or do the the ph hboot trick.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Sorry FcoT.

I looked at your first post again and didn't see too much detail. So before you attempted to get the OTA you were stock ROM and kernel but rooted with Amon Ra? Is that all you changed on the phone?

What steps did you take to obtain the OTA?

Did you relock the phone first?
[HTC Rezound] remmy5r:
Andy, thank you!

PEOPLE DO THIS, IT WORKS!!!! If you dont do this and cant get it to work, its your own damned fault.
[HTC Rezound] remmy5r:
Everything was working fine for me, then I tried running incredikernel and wifi crashed again... thank god for nandroids
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
-- if you are running a ROM based off the NEW OTA ROM 2.01.605.11, you don't need the wifi modules. any other PRE-OTA ROM without being patched, needs the wifi modules if u r using the new kernel.

no voodoo or anything, :)

---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 PM ----------

I posted what I *think* will fix ur incedikernel problems in the other thread
[HTC Rezound] remmy5r:
I replied to it in your thread. I have a pre ota nandroid that still works (I think), for what a person gains from either ziggys or incredikernel, I NEED wifi (dont have cell service where I live). Hopefully they will update so it will work with the new wifi modules.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Logic shows you that's not correct since others didn't have the problem and didn't flash your modules file. I fixed the issue by flashing the kernel I was using when I made the nand. Thought I posted that in this thread already.

Back to you FcoT....
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
do what you want.

now all u did is put the OLD kernel back on, and went back to a nand which HAS THE OLD WIFI MODULES BUILT IN!!

logic shows I am right...

if you want the nand to work with the NEW kernel u NEED the modules. if you want the old kernel it will work..

if u are using a new OTA ROM with new kernel. u r fine, if u go back to old kernel and use new OTA ROM u need the OLD wifi modules.

logic shows I am right...
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
Feralicious, ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Andybones is absolutely correct on this.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Just as an aside.. I just noticed the new OTA RUU is up in the vigor collection thread on Android developement so if your totally confused, stuck or just having a bad day you can now download the RUU and it will put you in the latest stock release !

Also , for anyone having trouble understanding this . With S-On, no matter what rom you flash it never flashed the kernel unless the dev built it into the kernel installer that Con made. Which includes the ph98img.zip which auto loads to hboot and asks to update. If you error out on that part or the rom doesn't include it then the entire kernel will not be loaded and you will have parts of the old kernel matched with the new kernel hence the broken wifi.

Personally, thats why I always pull out the boot.img manually and flash it manually in hboot rather than relying on the auto installer so I know it flashed properly. For those that flashing old nands , fixing wifi its because your old kernel was always there so when you flashed the nand the old parts now matched .
[HTC Rezound] FcoT:
Thanks!

Yes, stock ROM and kernel but rooted with Amon Ra.

I am suspecting that the Update is failing to hot boot the radios, because of the recovery.

I just installed the clean ROM, all good for now.. although I really wanted that 5 bar signals lol Thanks for your time guys.
