I am 100% sure you cannot downgrade Nokia firmwares without bricking the phone. I read about one method somewhere, but it was very complicated.

If I were you, I wouldn't be worried, now that you have the RM-803 firmware, next time there is an RM-803 update, you should be able to update via Zune/Nokia Suite without having to go through the method you used at the beginning of the post.

Now your phone is an RM-803 so Zune will recognize it as so and update it normally hence the beauty of debranding where you don't have to wait for operators.

Hello guys i'm new to the site.

I want it to ask if i could flash my lumia 710 (t-mobile US) with the RM-809 VAR T-MOBILE BLACK version that appears in navifirm.

my nokia is DLOAD. Would that be a problem?
[Windows Phone 7 General] tbird635:
I was wondering that too.

Also, there's two T_Mobile 8773 fw's listed for each color phone. One appears to have been released 06/04/12. The other 05/29 . What's the differences?

U should do a full wipe and factory reset. Go to advanced, and do a battery stat wipe and a dalvik cache wipe. If it doesn't works, then u bricked your phone. Read a thread about unbrick the X8. Here's one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1011071

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drknzz:
Don't Give Up

It has happened to me, just flash the x15 Basebands needed for custom Roms, without the x15 Baseband, a custom rom will just make your phone bootloop.

Use latest Flashtool.

Hope that helps.

(If you are unsure which X8 you have, just remove the battery and look at the sticker beneath it. In any case, if you flash the wrong one you will just lose 3G until you flash the right one, so no worries)

I had a black E4GT set up running Blazer 3.8 with EK02 modem. I just got a brand new white E4GT. I want to transfer all my apps and settings and such to the new phone. Can I do that by doing a Titanium backup on the black one and then copying the file over to the white one and doing the restore there? I plan on flashing the white one to Blazer 4.1 and FB27 modem first and then will do the restore. Will that work and is that the best way to do it? Shouldn't restore using CWM right? Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daryelv:
Could just swap the boards and do it that way, but you'll be as the same exact place (Blazer 3.8) on your new phone.

I would restore everything into a Blazer 3.8 fresh install and then work on upgrading to Blazer 4.1. Restoring apps using Titanium Backup from Gingerbread into ICS can lead to problems though and I would recommend against it.

-Daryel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frankquattrone:
I was going to the Blazer 4.1 version that is still GB. In that case, this should work right? Just wondering if somehow there are differences between the black and white ones that would mess things up in the restore. I usually also restore system settings because it's such a pain to re-set everything. Hoping that won't cause a problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daryelv:
Sorry, I assumed Blazer 4.1 was ICS. My fault.

The internals between black and white are completely the same. You should have pretty good luck with transferring settings from one phone to the other.

-Daryel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frankquattrone:
Worked pretty well. Restored system data too so kept almost all my settings, wifi points, etc. The one thing that's not working is the audible tones for the dial pad, screen selection and screen lock sounds. I've tried checking and unchecking the options but that's not working (it worked for haptics though). Is there any way to fix this without wiping everything? Is there a clear data for these settings? Thanks.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
As per the CM Blog, It was planned to have a final stable release of CM7 to incorporate all the changes that have gone through since the last stable came out, and also since the nightlies stopped. However, now that CM9 nightlies have started, (For some devices), I don't know whether this plan (To get 7.2 Stable) is still on or not.

Basically, if you are already on the local builds by cobje / Erwin, you won't get anything else, apart from a "Stable" in the file name, and the ability to file bug reports on the CM bug tracker (Which will not help, given that CM7 is almost dead)

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Riomaru:
Ok I tried using this All-in-one software to flash a kernel and it sent it over and wrote it but its stuck on the HTC logo, and yes I can boot into HBOOT and recovery, is there anyway I can restore straight back to everything factory?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GuestK00403:
Sounds like the wrong kernel for the Rom was flashed.

What rom/kernel were you trying to flash ?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Riomaru:
I was trying to flash the holiradar Final rom, but it said I needed the newest kernel so, I didnt flash the rom yet but I went on the AIO program and flashed the holicakes 2.6.35.14 and when it wouldnt boot up after that...

So what do you suggest I do?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GuestK00403:
So you are going to need to flash the kernel that goes with the holicakes 2.6.35.14 rom.

Should be on the same site.

You can user CMD to fastboot flash boot boot.img and then the rom will boot.

From what I can tell on the rom page there is a kernel download section.

---------------------------------

Looks like he is instructing you to flash the kernel a different way than I have listed above, but both ways will work.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Hunt3r.j2:
DO NOT TRY, FACTORY RESET WILL DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AND MIGHT ACTUALLY MAKE THINGS WORSE.

With that out of the way, don't use the AIO software, use fastboot.exe and flash a boot.img to fix the issue.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
No need to worry, you haven't had enough experience to know that it is normal. It is normal for the phone to not boot into the rom when the kernel doesn't match. since you have successfully flashed the kernel, you now need to boot into recovery (which I hope you have it installed at this point, if you have not, read how to do it and flash recovery) once in recovery, proceed to flash the HoliRaider rom and you'll be good to go.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] newbroman:
in the same boat

Hi All,

I have a similar problem flashing the Kernal with the vivid toolkit (V 2.1) on my Vivid. I think there should be a big warning for that box. I tried flashing the Holicakes Kernal, and flashed it twice as it tells you to, and ended up with the white HTC screen. Then tried flashing back to the stock rom, more than twice now with no luck. In desperation I tried installing the RUU update 3.26.502.56_US but I now get error 150, which indicates a rom mismatch, and yet it is the update for the phone direct from htc.

What should I try next to get past the white screen?

Thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] megatronisabeast:
Did you install a recovery?

Also, it was not a good idea to try and install all different types of things once you thought it was messed up. Anytime you think you may have messed up, stop right then, read about the issue, and if you can't find the solution, ask a question. I think you can get out of this but some people aren't that fortunate.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] newbroman:
vivid white screen

Thanks for the advice I will press on and do some more reading,

I can still get to CWM recovery and have tried restoring the backup image I made, with the same result.

During the kernal flashing process:-

- is the HTC dev lock supposed to be on or off? It is off and unlocked at the moment,

- is double flashing the kernal what is meant by the instruction 'if this is the first time you flash a kernal, make sure to reflash it', or as is suggested in esloan's post on this thread your supposed to flash a matching rom instead?

Thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] megatronisabeast:
You did the right thing by flashing the kernel twice. That is what those directions said. After you flash the kernel twice the next step would have been to flash a rom. I believe it is better to use the fast boot commands for doing this entire process. It sounds like you are still on the holicakes kernel.

What recovery do you have? 5.5.4 or WCX Recovery? You will have better results with WCX Recovery. Also watch this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEWa_lUd2bY&feature=youtu.be

That is by randog. He did a great video and he shows you how to install everything without a program. Do you have the holiradier rom on your phone?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] newbroman:
I was on the CWM recovery.

Thanks for the link to Randog's video, I now have a working phone again.

The major difficulties I had was finding wildchild's webpage with the links shown on the video, mainly because searching for wildchild illuminati took me to a forum with no links to any thing vivid, until you register.

I was also a little worried that I wasn't getting ICS in the ATT_ generic rom, but I needn't have. The key seemed to be locking the phone again and running wildchild's PH39IMG.zip. After that the security warning on the Hboot screen disappeared.

I almost messed the rom flashing part. Randog's vivid does this really quickly, my phone was a good 3 minutes behind and the progress bar was stuck around the 10% way after his phone had finished.

Like Randog says in the video follow the steps and you wont brick and you'll have a working phone.

Thanks megatronisabeast

There were two choices. After boot loader unlock, which I had already done. Using right reading logic, I went to the "next step". Didn't realize ICS meant ice cream sandwich. Dumbass. I used CWM 5.5.0.4. Then I tried to to update the kernel, to*Holicakes2.6.35.14. For some unknown reason. The result is the white screen of death.

I have access to hboot. As well as the recover menu which has a backup and restore option.

NAND restore clockworkmod backup, is available. I'm not sure how proceed.*

At the bottom of the screen:*

I studied quite a bit. Too dumb to get a clear picture of the necessary steps before I began, I guess. Again, what a Dumbass.

I *need a better understanding of the process.

I didn't know about the super guide until it was too late. Rather, I did not understand I had seen the super guide when I saw it. It was from December, called a Holliday guide, so I didn't read it. There were so many guides, it confused me pretty throughly. Sheesh.

I have the htc white screen, reboots every three minutes or so.

I would really appreciate someone who knows to give me some clarification on these issues.

I understand a lot of these issues have been dealt with in this thread. I'm just really apprehensive.

I hope I posted this in the right place. :)

Microbot, you have done pretty much what I did. If you follow megatronis a Brady's advice you will have a working phone. In fact I'm using it right now. Use the generic att zip an you will have ICS less the ATT bloatware.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] megatronisabeast:
Okay mircobot, I am home and can help you. Here is what you should do:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEWa_lUd2bY&feature=youtu.be

Watch that video. Shows you what you will need to do to get everything working again.

The next thing, you need to download all of the files you will need for getting your phone working again. I would recommend going here:

http://www.wcxxperia-nce.com/index.php

You will have to register to see the vivid forums.

Next decide if you want to be able to tether (generic build) or if you want stock based rom (ATT vivid ics).

Download the zip file. Follow the instructions in the video and should get you up and running in no time. That would be the easiest way in my opinion.

If you can't get it figured out or need more help just post here and we will try to assist.

microbot2_no PH39img.zip

Note: I updated to ICS from att before I unlocked the bootloader, which is still locked as now the phone can't be seen by the program.

Megatronisabeast, thanks for the link to the video. I am a little closer to understanding now. Unfortunately, I don't have direct access to the internal storage, like the guy in the video did. and I couldn't discern the website URL and he never tells you directly, except for "goto wildchilds site" which i couldn't locate.

I now know that I have access to wildchildes recovery. Unfortunately, I can only see the internal storage if I use WC recovery, ("windows wants to format it") then goto USB-MS. Otherwise the computers don't see it when its plugged up. It says "device not found when I try to do something in AIO_toolkit 1.2 Don't know if that helps.

I did find the wcxrecovery.img

It appears that you have to have access to internal storage to load an image to it. PH39img.zip, which I don't have. I can't seem to find the wildchild ICS image, either. when I start my phone, it looks for the ph39img.zip, doesn't see it, goes to the white screen.

I don't understand how to get the image back,Rather, how to access the internal storage again. is PH39img is the same thing as the ROM? Do I have to load PH39IMG.zip and the wilchild_vivid_ICS.ROM, which, again, I can't seem to find.

This feels like a comedy of errors. I wish I would have studied longer. I usually do. THEN, I find "newbie_proof" all in one toolkit.

I Just wanted it rooted. All I had to do was click "root" instead of "kernel". Man, what was I thinking?

If only I had taken the Red Pill.

Thanks again,
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] megatronisabeast:
Look at my post above, the link for wild Childs site is there. You have to register to see the vivid forums. That is also where you will download the files needed to set up the ROM, etc. You won't need the Ph39.img since you already have ics. That is for the bootloader. You can actually send a file to your phone in the recovery. since you already have recovery you would need to download the Android sdk tools, so you will have fastboot. You use fastboot to send the boot image to your phone. Then you would go to recovery and send the .zip file to your phone and flash in recovery. Sorry these directions aren't better, I will try to assist more when I get home, Swyping right now.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] newbroman:
Microbot,

The wildchild files you need are in the first link Megatronisabeast cites

wcxxperia-nce.com/index.php (I'm a newbie and cant post the full web address). You have to sign up to the forum to access the files. The vivid forum will appear once you have registered.

The PH391IMG.zip is not your normal PH39img.zip you have to use the one contained in the WCX_generic_ATT.zip on the WCX vivid forum page. You also need to relock the phone. You are probably better off using the fastboot and the windows command prompt for this.

Can you boot into recovery at all?

Do you have another phone? you could use that to copy the PH39img.zip over. Thats what I did.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Microbot2:
Mcrobot2---

Hi guys,*

Here is what I think I know:

HBOOT is a bootloader, *like a BIOS.

PH39img.zip is the boot file. Like PH39IMG.zip which appears to be a modified version for WC.

Kernel *is the memory and CPU manager.

ROM is an operating system package, or file placed onto the erasable/programmable part of the phones memory. NAND, I think.

S-OFF/ON *is a security check.

.Apk: compressed java file.

.Jar: *java application file.

.odex *files: helper files with most relevant information to compile and run the concerned application as fast as possible, a JIT Kind of thing.

----

I was able to relock bootloader, Yea!

Thanks megatronisabeast and newbroman.

--history--I updated to ICS from AT&T.

I thought I could skip reading for another three weeks because of newbie-proof AIO 2.1. * wrong!

I wanted to root my phone. *I had unlocked the bootloader with htcdev.*

Found hasoons all in one vivid 1.2. Used WC's recovery. I then flashed with hollicakes kernel, twice. Wsod.

Megatronisabeast:*

You use fastboot to send the boot image to your phone. Then you would go to recovery and send the .zip file to your phone and flash in recovery.

-I'm not sure the exact boot img,*

- I think the zip file would be the rom?

Cool, thanks guys.

Newbroman, it might be easier now to follow instruction that are based on a working phone. I read far too many instructions only to run into phrases like"then hookup your mini-USB, set your phone to disk drive" or some fastboot command that only works when the computer see's your device, or fastboot is throwing errors like "invalid signature" when you try to flash a file.

I'm sort of apprehensive about trying this again so soon after getting it back.
