PLEASE Help! How to Revert back to stock - CWM;Fastboot;Odin & ToolKit don't work!

Please help! Please teach me how I can revert my phone to stock so I can start all over again.

My phone reboots itself every min or so. I tried to fix it with no luck. ((The behavior of the phone makes me feel that the phone itself is in read only mode!)) That being said, I can still transfer file to the phone through USB. Anyway, I "think" the easiest way to fix it is to revert back to stock and start over again. I have tried the following but NOTHING works

In Android - Factory reset (the phone freeze and reset when press)

Under CWM - Wipe cache/data; flashing new rom; restoring old working CWM backups (CWM will run all my request but no changes were made after reboot)

Fastboot - recovery google stock img (Fastboot will sent the data to the phone but no changes were made after reboot)

Odin3 v1.85 - Added a PDF / .tar google stock rom (Odin successfully finished the whole process (PASS!) but no changes were made after reboot)

Galaxy Nexus ToolKit v7.5 - successfully finished flashing google stock image and newer CWM (Odin successfully finished the whole process but no changes were made after reboot)

I do see an error under CWM when restoring

"E:error in /cache/recovery/last_log

(Read-only file system)

Could I somehow made all my files read only? If so, any idea how to fix it?

I am using bigxie's JRO03C Deodexed Rom for weeks. Any advise will be appreciated! Thank you!

Nexus GSM

4.1.1 - bigxie's JRO03C Deodexed ROM

CWM 5.5.0.2

Baseband UGLC1

Kernel 3.0.31

Build number JR003c

Bootloader PRIMELC03
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hortonj54:
Not sure if it will be any different but I used Wug's toolkit and had success when the galaxy nexus toolkit didn't work for me. Hope that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1stHTCphone:
Thanks for your advise! I just tried Wug's Toolkit v1.5.2 with no luck. It does the same things as if I use fastboot to flash the stock image myself.

1/ fastboot bootloader... the phone said OKAY

2/ reboot bootloader

3/ fastboot radio... phone said OKAY

4/ reboot bootloader

5/ flash update image...flashboot said wrong bootloader & radio version...

Again, I feel my phone right now is in read-only mode. Neither programs and user can input or change anything. However, Android itself can make changes as I can see calendar reminder pop up. Arg... I am :crying::crying::crying:

I followed efrant's guide and many other similar guide. The phone will talk to my computer and will prompt "fastboot status - good" after each fastboot command; however, once I boot up the phone, nothing is changed! WTF... =(

tool kits should be illegal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1stHTCphone:
Most of the tool kits use Fastboot.... anyway.. I am at the point I will try anything... And I cannot sent the phone for repair since it has been rooted and unlocked bootloader...:crying::crying::crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atifsh:
Didn't understand what didn't change?

You should be in stock 4.04

If you are getting fc or seeing old files just do factory reset.

Or you can do this before you start flashing.

Fastboot erase cache

Fastboot erase boot

Fastboot erase system

Fastboot erase userdata

Now do the flash part

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Etc.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Well, if fastboot is not working there is one of two things that I think could potentially be the problem:

-- You are using an older version of fastboot.exe. Not sure if it makes a difference, but it may. Get the latest version from here.

-- There is a hardware problem. In this case, you may still be able to flash stock using a custom recovery assuming you have one installed. See below.

1) Get the LA03 bootloader from here.

2) Get the XXLA1 radio from here.

3) Get the IMM76I stock kernel from here.

4) Drop the IMM76I system.img file (from the factory image) into the attached zip file.

5) Download the attached IMM76I recovery.

6) Flash all of them in CWM in that order.

Hey guys,

Quick question. Which one to choose? Optimus 2X or SGS2?

I do realise the screen is much better on the SGS2, but is slightly too big.

Opinions?

Thanks :D
[General Topics] insane1990:
Dont even think of buying lg..
[General Topics] xox101:
I have just picked up an Optimus 2x for playing with and as my daily driver. Have to say I'm pleasantly surprised. Using Paranoid Android and phone runs very well. May be a little behind the times now but plenty on Ebay at good prices.
[General Topics] stefantumi:
Never buy an lg phone . Go for the sgs2 .
[General Topics] thihaz:
Sgs2. Lg got 300 something mb ram. Not even 512mb as they advertised. ****.
[General Topics] sandy7:
Go.for s2 which already has a ics...LG still have to wait till q3 to get update...s2 performance is much better than 2x
[General Topics] nbunn:
SGS2 hands down
[General Topics] chrism.brunner:
Galaxy s2 for sure...
[General Topics] jainkashish96:
samsung - bad!

lg - worse!

sgs2 - nice

o2x - optimal

the choice is yours!!
[General Topics] uetfreak:
Well as far as the performance is concerned, both of them are almost same except the RAM thing. But you can get the Optimus 2x at quite fair price. Rest is your choice.
[General Topics] chrism.brunner:
I think the screen on the galaxy s2 is much better.
[General Topics] lilotimz:
complete slaughter by the sgs2. Better processor, more ram, less bloat, has ics and is geared for jb update, and a hell of a better screen. Also Samsung actually backs up the phone unlike LG.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dj2muchxx:
I am interested in trading my nexus for an unlocked note. I plan on using T-mobiles 4g on the note. The GPS is horrible on my nexus and the reason Im trading for the note is because I've read that it is great with gps. That's pretty much the only reason. What are your opinions, how is GPS on ur note? Let me know everything that u think. And I do plan on rooting the note.

Edit : I plan on running cm7 due to the responses here. I've read that it does great when it comes to GPS but I understand that its a hit or miss when it comes to GPS
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] VonEsch:
GPS is hit or miss. Why not keep the nexus also? I'm starting to consider getting a gnex for when I don't want to lug this thing around, plus the updates. I've had this phone since release and have been waiting for ics for the source for the kernel got over clock and find myself waiting for jb ports now. GPS with ics radios is so so.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LittleRedDot:
After the ICS update I can't get a hard lock without wifi on... Really sucks and there are a few more peeps with the same issue. It definitely was a winner with GB, but with ICS it's not (though I'm running stock ICS). If the price is right I say go for it, maybe you'll have better luck with Tmob 4G than I'm having with ATT LTE.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this, there are several of us who would be greatly appreciative.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dj2muchxx:
I updated to stock jellybean. Deoxed and rooted of course. And GPS is working amazingly now. Like never before. I took it for a test run around my city and its just amazing now.

[Nexus 7 General] tylerwatt12:
It's a reset button. I looked at the ME370t's FCC documents and it states in the manual that, it's a reset button, probably a removed feature after Google's advice.

anyone daring enough to press it to see if it's a soft or hard reset? maybe hold it in while the device boots up?

also, I found some preliminary test photo's with the plastic backings.
[Nexus 7 General] Cl8rs:
But there's no hole? Its more of a dent...
[Nexus 7 General] krelvinaz:
You would take the back off to try it.

Via my HTC Rezound
[Nexus 7 General] tylerwatt12:
if this button actually works, or is system mappable i might just take my dremel and drill out that little dent

also I see that Google switched out the NAND's probably to save money

from the H26M42001FMR (8GB Hynix NAND)

to the KE44B-26BN (8GB Kingston NAND)

Where is a good place to get a replacement screen? Any way to get one under the average $90-$100 I see advertised various places?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
$90 is probably your best lowest for a replacement service.

The screen should cost about $60, the adhesive is about $10 (if not less), then add labor time.

If you already have a heat gun and the adhesive, it only costs you the screen(+shipping) and time to unstick the old adhesive from your fingers.

Been there... done that... bought the shirt; bleached it; resold it with my own logo :silly::cool:

The plus side to having a service to replace the screen is not having to pay for mistakes. Their job is to replace the screen, so if something else breaks during the repair, it's usually on the house. Or it becomes another return, and hopefully some money kicked-back for courtesy.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tablador:
Thanks bhundven, I will ask around. I think the part I need is the whole assembly including the touch digitizer, not just the lens. The LCD itself is f-ed up.

So my girlfriend's Nexus S 4g is acting up and shes getting it exchanged for a new one. Cant complain about that much eh? Especially considering its out of warranty. Anyways, i use to have a Motorola Triumph and she liked that one time when my USB port messed up, i backed i went into CWM and backed up my phone, transferred that folder to my new Triumph i exchanged for, re-rooted and went back into CWM, restored phone to how it was a day earlier without spending any time setting it up.

Considering the developer support behind this phone, im sure the same can be done. But i keep running into root solutions that wipe the phone, which isnt a solution for me. I found this post:

http://androidforums.com/nexus-s-4g...s-s-ns4g-no-data-wipe-easy-win-mac-linux.html

And asked a question there i will also ask here:

Looks like once im into the TWRP, i can just click "backup" then once saved, copy that folder to my PC and go and exchange the phone. Then transfer the folder onto the clean new phone, Using the same process now, get it into TWRP as well and click restore and select the backup?

Should i even bother installing superuser.zip?

___

So theres that. Does that sound like it would work or are there any other solutions? Thanks in advance.

5. click ok and allow it to boot into recovery and automatically run the process

When i Select " Install ROM from SD Card" . a pop up comes as "olny premium users may use alternate recoveries with ROM Manager to flash Roms ! otherwise , you must have clockworkmod recovery installed before continuing ! install recovery through ROM Manager first "

What shud i do now guys ???? please help me hope this shud be my lasy question sorry fr disturbing :((( guys pls consider and do reply !
[LG Optimus Black] dcop7:
Install clockworkmod in ROM Manager first. I think it is the first option
[LG Optimus Black] mellomade:
I think u should first flash CWM recovery. In ROM Manager app, on the first line, hit the "Flash CWM recovery" then it will say current version of CWM that u have. Thats a message indicate that u have install the CWM recovery. with that, should be no prob to flash rom with this app from sd card. Not necessarily to have the premium version of rom manager. free version will do the job.

Very constructive. Thank you for your opinion. Don't buy the case. I posted to show a budget case that works with the lock wake function.

For everyone else, it's not too thick and the magnet holds it closed and locks the screen. There's a flap that holds the N7 in the slot by wrapping around the left side and folding under the tablet.

Hey everyone,

My brother currently owns the HTC One S and I guess he's been experiencing some popping crackling noise while listening to music using any

blown speaker......thats really the reason
[HTC One S] makavelicruz:
Well this only happens while wearing headphones. The phone is like brand new too. Is funny because he just told me that while listening to music on youtube, he didn't hear that crackling noise. It's only when he listens to music directly from Pandora or iheartradio. very weird
[HTC One S] Flipnfr3ak:
Hmmm...it doesn't do it in you tube for me too. But this happens only with my external speaker when I'm using the music app. Maybe it's the roms then

I had the same problem. It also would crackle when hooked up to 3.5mm in my car. I couldn't use the square card reader or intuit go payment app that I need for work. Tom the phone back to tmo and they gave me a new one and it doesn't do it anymore and I just rooted my phone.

i posted a thread about this before but no one noticed..but i have the problems only when listening to music from the speaker...i can tell you it's not blown..the majority of the songs are garbled or crackling even on the playstore when you click play..headsets are perfectly fine..youtube is fine too..i think HTC for this phone put some kinda of protection on playing certain songs or whatnots..its annoying cuz you cannot have a lot of ringtones...most are crackling..

Google now is not fully functional for anything other than Jelly Bean ROMs. Cards work but you cant do a voice search and there are other bugs. There is a small work around for voice search that uses another app from the Play Store but it still is not that great. I have it on my phone.

Hi all!

I have an international version of the S3 with a weird problem.

When I have Wifi connected my phone can't sign in to Google talk and wont receive notifications. I can browse and download stuff though.

If i switch to 3G all is well and working. I have tested on different networks and I have a galaxy tab 10.1 connected to the same wifi without problems so it's no ports in the firewall that's causing it.

If I restart the phone it works for about a day then it fails again and I have to restart the phone to get G-talk over wifi.

I have tried setting the phone a static IP, switched "Keep wifi on during sleep" on and off, tried the trick with power saving in debug menu but nothing helps.

Has anyone experienced the same and can someone maybe suggest a fix?

Best regards
