Ill re-lock and try it using both Keiran's recovery and FXP's recovery.

Lets hope for luck

Edit: Dident work. Just as expected
[Xperia Play Android Development] poo-tang:
Don't think you can hotboot without unlocked boot. But if has kept root he can install the recovery installer app or the manual way to install it (thread in this section of the forum).
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Just a reminder, now that I am thinking on it I am not so sure it will work.... not 100% sure, so you might relcok and find you cannot unlock.....
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Oh yeah that right! We have the custom recovery app from google play store.... sweet, that will help..

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pvy.CWMinstaler&hl=en
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
Awesome!

For any unlocked users that are wanting root on 2.3.4 (for whatever reason you might not have it), refer to this good old thread :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] kelvenha55:
backing up right now...
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
wht u going to sue VZW over? patching their bootloader which in the first place wasnt ment to be unlocked?? :D:D:D:D:D

anyways... i checked the FOTA package and its a RedBendEFDPackage... so if anyone has any idea how to reverse engineer those files drop me a p.m. ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Should mention that you need to be unlocked BL to boot recoveryplay.img I apologize for that, however you can uyse the CWM auto installer for our Xperia PLAYS to install a recvoery into our phones....

And awesome on the nandorid backup, cant wait.

Also as I am on an unlocked BL, would doing a nandroid restore of your nandoid, to anyones knowledge, cause issues with my phone if I restore this with my BL still unlocked?
[Xperia Play Android Development] poo-tang:
Nandroid's on Xperia play just back up system (just the rom). So it should not do anything to your kernal or bootloader.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
Yes. However, you will need to extract the kernel from the backup and flash it using fastboot

[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Would doing a complete nandroid restore of the 2.3.4 nandroid, dumb question I know, but it would give me 2.3.4 right? And I would obviously have root and should still be a-ok with my unlocked BL, if that is so then I will give the nandroid restore a shot later tonight when I get home from work
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Oh yeah, wonder if i used DoomKernel would work with this ROM, or if for the sake of a clean install I should flash the VZ 2.3.4 kernel
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
DooM is developing a new kernel for 2.3.4

Use Verizon one for now.

Sent from my CM9 Kindle Fire
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
simple way to get FTF... (should work on LOCKED/UNLOCKED bootloaders)

once u flash the FOTA update check if device boots

then connect it to SEUS/PCC and check for update

it should say that u have latest update

now use SEUS/PCC to "repair device"

that should download the FULL blob_fs onto ur PC for update/repairing ur device

once thats done reboot phone to check if u still on newest firmware

then upload the blob_fs if u dont know how to create an FTF

;)

ofcourse all this should only be tried by experienced/advanced users
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
So if I were to restore the nandroid of 2.3.4, restore nandroid first power off, flash 2.3.4 kernel and hopefully it will all work? And I should still be able to retain my unlocked bootloader, and have root, and 2.3.4 on my phone? Again I know I will have to try it but just wondering on others thoughts of the outcome of this attempt....
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
This update WILL NOT effect your bootloader status. Root can be easily obtained if you have an unlocked bootloader.

Speaking of which, wheres the backup?
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
K, thats what I was thinking. Thank you for confirming my suspicions. No word on the nandroid backup...hmmm....

kelvenha55 - still backing up / uploading the nandroid?
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Anyone be interested in posting a nandroid download link to this thread?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
We say DooM's going to make a kernel, but when are Verizon going to make the kernel sources available?
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Its Verizon... I'd say never.....given their track record.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
my latest GSM kernel based on 4.0.x.x.x FW sources might work ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
If the nandroid is uploaded I am going to try the nandroid with the kernel from VZ, but Doom if you want me to test out a kernel on the 2.3.4 I'll give it a whirl, but currently I am still on 2.3.3 unlocked with you kernel and root.. I opted to wait and see what happened after the OTA was sent out.. and of course this all depends if someone can upload a nandroid of 2.3.4 from VZ
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Work on Verizon 2.3.4? Isnt that kernel a ICS Kernel?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
those are 4.1.x.x.x FW sources ;)

i mean the 4.0.2.A.0.61_62_69 FW kernel sources :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Gottcha, ok. Cool looking forward to it!
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Just curous question. If I relock my bootloader and OTA, then try to use my bootload IMEI unlock code will it work? I am guessing that it will not.....
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
No, boot loader seems patched in OTA. Best to wait for an FTF.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
K. Thanks
[Xperia Play Android Development] hatcyl:
Can people please post results as they try the following:

1. OTA from completely stock.

2. OTA from stock + root.

3. OTA with unlocked bootloader (what method?)

After any if the above, did you brick? Bootloader still unlocked? Did you keep root? Can you get into fastboot?

thanks, I'll promise to put in my fair share of work into this.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
I believe for option 3, Pax and someone else bricked their phones and had to have them taken to VZ for a replacement. OTA on complete stock has been reported to lose root with no ability to root again, and bootloader is completely patched so if you were able to unlock BL prior to OTA you are no longer able to. Trying to OTA with root causes a fail as the OTA will see you are rooted and cancel the upate, files still download but will not intstall.

Now someone who had an unlocked BL via testpoint are claiming they did the OTA and due to already being unlocked BL were able to fastboot into recoveryplay.img or CWM Auto Installer and root their phones. 2 people have said this netiznt (think its how he spells it,) and kalvenha55 (something like that, going off memory)
[Xperia Play Android Development] hatcyl:
So if you unlocked with a code you brick.

But if you unlock with test point you update + stay unlocked?

Interesting...
[Xperia Play Android Development] hatcyl:
Is fastboot completely disabled after update or is bootloader unlocking just stopped?
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Think someone said fastboot is blocked
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
That means I'm not touching it until all VZW BS blocks are removed... though I'm not leaving ICS any time soon.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
I just used the 2.3.4 nandroid backup with DoomKernel and I have working 2.3.4 with root, only problem is none of the wifi modules are giving me wifi... other then that it works great...

Enjoy!!

ALL FURTHER POSTS SHOULD NOW BE APPLIED AT THIS THREAD ABOVE AS THAT IS WHERE THE NANDROID IS.

Also if you dont want to use doomkernel stock kernel from 2.3.3 works too
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
Any fastboot issues for you?
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
None yet. Only issue with DoomKernel is no wifi. It sees my network but wont connect to the wifi... other then that overclock and recovery work..
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
That's a ramdisk issue that needs to be corrected for the R800x. You're currently running the GSM ramdisk.

NOOO! KKRRAAZZYY!!! YOU TOO!!! recently there are many i9003 leaving... but now, we have lost one of the greatest theme maker as well as a modder. but we will continue your path into leading this phone to its full capacity.

but i might not go long with this phone as well. after my phone breaking down on internal sd & motherboard, i might need to buy a new one instead. it still has warranty but the receipt has been misplaced here at home. buying a new one might be a better idea than paying alot to change the motherboard.

wow. you're buying an s3!!!! please pm me and give me pics if you get one!!! but it'll take time before the release on asia. samsung said on the live gadget show it'll go out on may 29.. but first on europe..... then in ASIA. i might buy an s3 but there is a higher chance i'd get an s2...

That was brief Horatio. Now tell us what you did in detail.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] leodasal2:
post

1. what you did before that happened

2. things that might have contributed

3. solutions you have tried

ps; be as specific as possible
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] taroka:
i didn't do any thing first my phone hanged for the first time then i rebooted my phone

then the apps on the sd was not appearing and I was not able to download any game to the sd

so i rebooted the phone again and the problem started
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
what did you do before your device stopped?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] taroka:
then the solutions i tried was install a custom rom aurora and repences when i installed the custom roms the phone hanged at the samsung galaxy y gt-s5360 screen

so i tried doky odin package then the phone started looping on the samsung logo again
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] leodasal2:
if you are sure that you did not do anything and it just all happened then you are unlucky to have to have a factory defect phone

bring to samsung's service center
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Raol Emostar:
Flasing stock firmware is the only thing you can do if nothing works. And is that doesn't work too, get your phone replaced.

can you tell me how :confused:
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] leodasal2:
after flashing the stock rom, do a data wipe and cache wipe but preferably you should have done that before..

if that doesnt solve the problem, try flashing a stock kernel and reflash the stock rom

Don't you remember your stock ROM version? Just search for stock ROM version for the place you live in in Doky's stock ROM post and download the appropriate kernel from the kernel thread.

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] simplyanin:
Stock kernel is the most stable ....

Apply the stock kernel and stock rom ... If then also your phone is not booting .... go to samsung service centre

Your phone is already messed up don't make it worse by applying a custom kernel
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] CarlDeanCatabay:
True. If you'd flash a custom kernel then that would increase bin count, that would void your warranty.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Raol Emostar:
Flash it as PDA leaving all checkboxes default. Read the instructions in the thread!
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] taroka:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmaddcatt:
Hi there,

The recent rash of hard bricks and fried eMMC chips experienced in ICS roms based on leaked ICS binaries has got me spooked. I want to revert to Gingerbread in a safe way.

Current rom setup is: LP5 base, LP5 kernel, LP6 baseband and imilka's CM9 v3.

Current options at my disposal:

Nandroid backup Gingerbread 2.3.6 DarkyROM v3.3 accessible through CWM

Mobile Odin, for flashing stock .tar's

Other? Open to suggestions

Various users have reported hard bricks after invoking the full wipe command in CWM on leaked binary kernels. I believe my options displayed above are fairly safe but can someone confirm this, has anyone succesfully reverted to GB after flashing a .tar in Odin or using a nandroid backup?

Many thanks,

The safe way would be to flash a stock ROM with PC Odin, or flash a safe kernel with PC Odin and do your flashing with that. The methods outlined above don't sound very safe to me, but maybe I'm wrong.

I thought the problem was flashing anything with the leaked repack ICS kernels was where the risk of frying your emmc came from, so wouldn't flashing abysskernel from an ICS recovery carry that same risk, hence the recommendations to flash a GB ROM via PC Odin?
