Whoops. I did the OTA without doing any research first and now I'm stuck.

I was running the stock GB ROM, rooted with HTCdev unlock, Amon Ra and S-on. I did the OTA that "Prepped" the phone for ICS today and it apparently unrooted the phone. I didn't really dig into it and just went ahead with the ICS OTA. It downloaded and I hit OK and it booted into recovery. Eventually the option to reboot presented and I chose it. Now I'm stuck at the white HTC screen.

I know I should have been paying a little more attention to what I was doing and should have done some more reading before I went ahead with the OTA.

I've done some research but haven't found any solutions that are specific to this OTA. What should I do now? Thanks in advance.
[HTC Rezound] zac41189:
No worries. You do need to be careful but you can fix this.

First relock your bootloader in fastboot with the command: fastboot oem lock

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1810931

Download the RUU file from the android police website and rename it PH98IMG.zip and place it on the root of your external SD card (not in any folders). Reboot to bootloader and your phone will find it and apply the OTA update.

Make sure to remove it from the root directory on your SD after your phone reboots.

You'll be good to go running ICS 3.14.605.12!

EDIT: Just remembered you said you were stuck at splash screen. If you can't get past that you might need an SD card reader to do all this on a pc but its still totally doable.
[HTC Rezound] mattloak:
Thanks, I'm downloading it now.
[HTC Rezound] topgun1953:
and...you'll have to unlock and flash Amon again..:(
[HTC Rezound] thedroidmonkey:
after DL'ing the RUU, how do you put the file on your phone? im stuck on that screen and dont know how to access the phones files to put that file on the root

thanks in advance

edit: sd card reader
[HTC Rezound] Junetastic:
So there's no way of doing this without getting another SD card with the file or using SD card reader?
[HTC Rezound] trizzypballr:
I wish I would have saw this before I installed a ROM hoping that would fix it. How do I get rid of the ROM now to run stock? It was Scotts Clean ROM if that matters at all
[HTC Rezound] LunaticSerenade:
You can flash a stock ROM or RUU.
[HTC Rezound] trizzypballr:
Not to sound like a total n00b, but could you walk me threw that?

I need to lock the boot loader threw fast boot also i read above? How do I do that?
[HTC Rezound] LunaticSerenade:
You would need to boot into fastboot, then type 'fastboot oem lock' I believe.

After that, download http://db.tt/M09JDsfq, rename it PH98IMG, place it on the root of your SD, reboot into hboot, and flash!
[HTC Rezound] trizzypballr:
im confused where im typing at in fastboot though?

---------- Post added at 02:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 AM ----------

Im not sure how to lock it again, but its unlocked and started loading ph98img.zip right away for me. hopefully it works....
[HTC Rezound] LunaticSerenade:
Fastboot is basically adb, but in bootloader.

Hopefully it flashes! If not, I really recommend S-Off over the re-lock business.
[HTC Rezound] trizzypballr:
Im not sure if it actually worked or not... The phone is still acting the same... Stuck with Scotts Clean ROM and every time i use the dialer the phone restarts... I can make calls but as soon as i hang up the phone reboots... If I actually try to dial a number instead of choosing a contact, it freezes for a few seconds and then restarts...
[HTC Rezound] LunaticSerenade:
Yeah, you should S-Off and then flash the PH98IMG.
[HTC Rezound] Slartiwhatever:
Thanks for this. I was able to get my wife's Rezound back up and working. It was previously unlocked.

Unfortunately, however, all of her apps & data were wiped. I'm not sure if this was supposed to happen with the OTA upgrade (and she says she's not really sure what it said before the upgrade), or with the method listed here, or if it was just more of whatever screwup made it freeze up at the white screen in the first place.

Whatever the cause was, I'd now like to root it so I can install Titanium Backup for her, but I can't get into the bootloader as I did before I got the ICS to load. Is there a different trick to loading it? (adb and fastboot aren't recognizing the device at this point, so that method isn't working either.
[HTC Rezound] trizzypballr:
im not sure how to s off?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawaiiDango:
Is there any app, sumthing like a dummy Messages app? maybe i can keep some random operator messages in it, or just keep it blank. i can then simply hide the real messages app from the launcher.

in my college there are frequent cellphone checks, in which if they see some message from ur (seemingly) girlfriend/boyfriend, they simply confiscate ur cell, and call ur parents. if i put an app locker, they will tell u to unlock it. i might be able to fool them with the dummy mesages app. They arent that tech savy to check hidden apps from Apex launcher.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] postfatal:
1: Well as launchers are exactly the same and as I am positive from the information you provided you are using Nova, you simply long press on the app and drag it to the homescreen.

2: Settings > Video call > tick the box that says "always perform video call", then the next time you call someone you should be able to see them and vice versa.

If he's on Cyanogenmod Jelly Bean, Video calling isn't available. If he's on any jellybean rom then he should know the questions he asked :-/
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sparko2010:
Before the s3 hit stateside I saw articles talking about a special s pen like device for the s3. Did it get canned because its not even listed on samsungs site. I googled it and the only things I found were the old articles from a few months ago.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sparko2010:
Never mind. I found it (in the master accessory thread) it is on the Samsung site it just wasn't listed as an accessory for the sprint s3... would like to find a comprehensive review as YouTube yielded nothing that really helped me out.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] eiraku:
You mean the C-Pen? It's just an oversized, overpriced capacitive stylus with a smaller than usual rubber nib. Nothing else special about it IMHO.

I reckon you'd be better of with one of the various Jots from Adonit. Though right now drawing is slightly laggy anyway, no matter what stylus you use.

If you mean some other new fangled stylus that isn't the C-Pen, don't mind me though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PizzaAmerican23:
Ive had my phone for about 2 weeks now, and the GPS is basically unusable. It takes up to 5 mins to get a lock, and sometimes it just never gets one. Even when it does, its not very accurate.

Ive read somewhere that the upgrade to jellybean caused this, and ive been running JN since i owned it, so maybe thats my problem? Anyone else experience this issue? Anyway to test if its just the software?

Id like to figure it out, so if i have to send my phone back i can. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] athakur999:
I think the Jellybean connection was more coincidental than anything else, since a lot of people were having GPS issues (on both ICS and JB ROMs) around the time that the JB OTA began rolling out.

Try disabling "Google's location service" in the location services setting and see if that helps. If it works, then try reenabling it and try again. That seemed to resolve the issues of most people who were having GPS issues a few weeks ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PizzaAmerican23:
With it enabled, i just get the huge circle, and it says my location is somewhere in there. With it disabled, i get "waiting for location", and then "your current location is temporarily unavailable."

Anything else i can try. Like i said before it works, but maybe 1 out of 10 times. Even if it worked half the time it would be useless. If i cant depend on it then its really not worth anything to me. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] azanboy:
Try this GPS fix. It worked like a champ for me and many other people.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PizzaAmerican23:
im not rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PizzaAmerican23:
Ok i just called google play, and asked what i should do. He suggested i do what ive already done (check and uncheck google services, factory reset), both of which had no effect on my GPS. He then told me that a fix should be coming out within the next few weeks, and it should fix it on all devices.

So right now im debating flashing a custom ROM like AOKP or something to see if that fixes it. Im a little worried about doing this to a phone that may be faulty in the first place though. Should i even bother, or should i just wait the few weeks for a fix. If googles OTA fix doesnt fix it back to google it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PizzaAmerican23:
another update: GPS now works (not sure what made it start), but it still takes forever to lock, and is extremely inaccurate. Usually when you use nav, itll tell you when a turn is coming etc, but the gps thought i was over 100yds behind were i actually was. Even when im in my house, it has no idea where i am, closest it can get in down to 3 houses wide.

Im having flashbacks to my captivate - which didnt work at all - but if a gps only works sometimes and when it does doesnt work very good - then its basically worthless. Am i really going to trust it when i need it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] niamul:
GPS status from Google play store. Install it and let it download agps data. That should greatly increase accuracy and decrease lock time. You don't need root to use it.

Hope it helps

[General Questions and Answers] nikkop:
Hi!

So I've got this problem on my tab where I can't boot but I get to a screen that says in Chinese that I need to do a factory reset to reset to default settings, which probably will make my tablet work.

However, I noticed I'm able to use mouse/keyboard on this screen.

So I'm wondering if there's any psychical keyboard shortcut to enter Settings on Android 4.0.2 / ICS?

If I may enter Settings I may turn on USB-debugging and save my tablet, otherwise I can't use it.

I'm able to bring the on-screen keyboard up by pressing "ESC" on my psyhical keyboard, and from there I can get into the keyboard settings. But I'd like to get into the settings of the OS if this is possible?

I can't enter recovery mode because of the tablet getting stuck at the logo.

So any useful shortcut I may use?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boxa786:
When I first got my S2 I rooted it to remove some bloatware like orange backup and maps. I was looking to also remove the orange startup and shutdown logos but never found how to do this. Now I want to undo all I've done (not much really) and put it all back the way it was.

Having searched the webs I find all the results about flashing using Odin to a new custom ROM, but I'm sure this is not what I want to do.

I am sure I made a backup of the original files but I can't find them anywhere on my computer. However, I have managed to find some files I must have originally used to root/flash.

Odin

S2Root 1.4.3

GT-I9100_XXKG3_insecure

GT-I9100_XXKG3_original

I have rebuilt my computer since I originally rooted my handset, so when I needed the drivers and installed Samsung Kies it told me I had an update to ICS. I've completed this but Sky Go is still saying my device is rooted and will not work. I've downloaded and tried superoneclick (latest version) but this crashes every time. Opening S2Root, which I'm assuming I used originally, and trying to Unroot it tells me my device is not rooted and aborts the operation.

How can I fix this now?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
Hi there,

The best way to get your phone back to stock is to wipe cache and dalvik cache and do a factory reset.

This will bring everything back to how it was and you will lose root :) you can use Astro to back up all your apps and take screenshots of home screens so you can get it back to how it was.

I see you have the Original Kernel file still XXKG3, you can simply flash this through odin back to your phone and you will lose root access and be back to how it was before root. Just open Odin and flash this file in the PDA section of Odin and hit start :)

Or you can flash an official stock Samsung ROM using Odin..

If you let me know where abouts you are I can send you a link for the appropriate firmware ie Orange carrier branded official firmware, as released by Orange :)

Also is it Gingerbread or ICS you were wanting to revert to?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phil3759:
Factory reset and wipe cache will never remove root :rolleyes:

There are many ways, but for a complete reset to stock, only way is format /system, wipe data and cache, then flash a stock rom in odin. Before, use triangle away to reset counter if needed
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PopAhmad:
Just Flash a stock frimware and all will be done
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phil3759:
It will unroot, but data in /system that comes with root apps will stay
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boxa786:
Thanks for the replies guys.

I have flashed using kies with the latest orange update so this is what I would like to keep. I want to go back to keeping it original as possible (couple more months and I'm due an upgrade and will be selling this)

Ok so going by Phil's process I need to format system? How do I do this?

Wipe data and Cache I think these two are options in Odin right?

Flash a stock ROM? I have that GT-I9100_XXKG3_original that I must have downloaded when I rooted it, will this do or do I need a different ROM?

If you can fully explain this in a step by step guide with using the ROM I already have, then I can simply connect kies and let it update to latest firmware?

Also, what is triangle away and will I need that? I thought if I flashed to original ROM in the steps said above I shouldn't get that yellow triangle?

Why would I need to reset counter?

I am a complete noob at this and appreciate all the help you are giving me.

Thank you

PS. Obagleyfreer can you post a link to the latest Orange ICS firmware just in case I need that too? Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boxa786:
Having done some more googling I found the clear data and cache is when you put the phone in download mode (volume down+home+power buttons). This is also where I can factory reset the phone. I found this on youtube and the video didn't clearly show what options and folders to select if any. So, can you tell me exactly what options and folders to select please?

I'm assuming the above is my first step, then flashing a new stock ROM. Can you post a link to this please?

The video on youtube showed the yellow triangle went away after doing the flash, but he also had a little usb stick which reset the counter. Is there a way I can do this without that usb thing-ma-jig?

What's the best way to backup all my contacts?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
Just do what Phil says.Triangle away is an app to remove traces that the phone has been tampered with,as that can invalidate warranty.You need to learn about cwm and Odin.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boxa786:
I don't know all the steps and exactly what to do, otherwise I would give it a ago. If there is a step by step guide to this, then I'd be more than happy to try it on my own without any questions.

Telling me to format system and flash I don't fully understand some points about this process, hence why I asked for more details, like what options do I chose and what folders do I select? You're asking me to go do something without giving me all the variables, would be like you giving a kid your bank card with pin and asking him/her to take some money out. If you don't tell the person the amount, then what's to stop the kid from completely emptying your account? Same principle applies to my situation, you have told me what to do but not given me all the details I need, so I could simply go and format the entire phone and go through every option and selection without knowing what's its doing and if it's the correct thing to do.

Before you telling me the triangle away is an app, I thought Phil was just telling me to get rid of the Triangle I never knew it is an app, so you see, you provided a final bit of information and now I know what this is, I can go and look for it (google ofcourse), once found I will try it, but post back if I have any questions. Such as, do I use this app first or is it the last thing I do.

I am a complete noob at this and details matter loads to me. Being a computer enthusiast building my own computers, I know every little detail counts when it comes to software/firmware settings. So, try to understand all your help is really appreciated and much needed information before I can start off on my own.

Thanks for the read.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phil3759:
Wipe data and cache is done in stock recovery options as you found, not in download mode

Format /system needs cwm. You can get it flashing a cf root kernel in odin. Another way is to get a temporary cwm like in the link in method 1 from my signature. Once in cwm, go to advanced or partition settings and you find the format /system.

Triangle Away is an app that needs root to run

--Just understood your question. Do you get stuck on M logo when startup? Are you able to enter cwm (press volume button when you see a blue led on startup)? If so then try to clear cache/dalvik.. If that doesn't helps and you still have CM9 zip and kernel zip on sdcard, then flash those. That should get you going. Worse case is you flash a sbf via rsdlite if nothing works.

[Blade General] pavanchirmade:
Hey guys,

I installed the ICS ROM, Eco_Blade_Stable_20120701 on my Idea Blade (ZTE Blade Gen2) phone. The ROM installation and the Gapps installation went smoothly and the phone booted normally. I synced my gmail id with the phone too. However, I've noticed that the phone has slowed down considerably post the ICS upgrade (I was using Swedish Snow earlier). The menus appear after a considerable amount of time, the home screen buttons take a lot of time to respond, the app drawer takes ages to open. Scrolling is very smooth though.

What can be done about the slow down? Did I do anything wrong?
[Blade General] Jinxxed:
So you install a rom which attempts to keep speed to a minimum usable level and save battery?

And then you wonder why it's not fast?

Wait... what?
[Blade General] pavanchirmade:
The reason I posted my problem is that the speed is not even usable. I waited 10 minutes for the SMS inbox to open (even though it is empty).

I later tried the update-cm-9-20120529-SNAPSHOT-blade-ColdFusionX-tilal6991-signed and even the Pre-CM9-AOKP-REMIX-RC6.6.9-BLADE-full-signed and all of them are running the same sluggish way.

A bit slower is fine but this is beyond usable. I saw the poll in the ICS roms for the Blade thread and people are using these ROMS for everyday use. That is why I put up this query as to what I'm doing wrong or is my phone not capable enough?

I searched the Blade section for a similar query and couldn't find any. So I created a new thread.

Just because I am a new member here, doesn't mean you should post sarcasm and try to pwn/troll me.
[Blade General] wbaw:
Idea Blade only has 256mb ram, it isn't enough for ICS, other Blades have 512mb.
[Blade General] Jinxxed:
Oh come on, lighten up, you didn't say it was THAT slow. If you had i'd be more willing to help but it seemed like you were complaining that it was "a tad sluggish" when that is what any rom that is specifically devoted to saving battery will be.

That is way too slow though but if as wbaw remarks you do have only 256MB then no ICS will be better.
[Blade General] pavanchirmade:
I checked and there is around 40MB RAM free at almost all times. So is there a workaround for this or should I just forget about using ICS on my phone?

I guess all those who are using ICS on the blade probably have the 512MB one.

OT: sorry for overreacting before. Maybe I was just upset over the ICS roms not working.
[Blade General] rahulsa:
You may experiment with swap with a (class 4 or better) card.

I am using 256 MB swap with a class 4 on CM7.2 It has greatly improved application switching speed.
