[Q] Can only get into recovery after attempting Juopunutbear S-OFF

I wanted to S-OFF after being stock locked, with the OTA ICS update. I performed HTC dev unlock successfully. After that, I may have gone wrong during one of several steps.

-Pushed AmonRa recovery 3.15 to my phone (seemed to be successful)

-Flashed ICE-EnableRoot.img (got an error message saying it was unsuccessful, but when I rebooted my phone, SuperUser was installed).

-Flashed vigorOTAStockRooted.zip (because I wanted to try the S-OFF method from stock GB rom)

-Ran HTC Rezound S-OFF Kit By Hasoon2000

-Made sure HTC Drivers were installed

-Enabled USB Debugging

-Put in blank SD Card

-Run Juopunutbear v.6 If You Are On Gingerbread

After running Juopunutbear v.6 for Gingerbread, my phone screen went blank and HTC's splash screen came up momentarily, and then my phone screen went dark. The cmd box that popped up then gave me an error message saying I had to install the HTC Drivers. I went to HTC's website to download the drivers. When I tried to install them, I was told they were already installed.

I can reboot my phone into Hboot and AmonRa recovery and I can do anything from there. But when I try to start my phone, I get the HTC splash screen and then black screen. The orange LED lights up when my phone is powered off and plugged in via USB. When I try to boot from Hboot, I either get a static HTC splash screen or splash screen going to a black screen.

This is what my Hboot screen reads:

*** TAMPERED ***

*** UNLOCKED ***

VIGOR PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-2.25.0000

RADIO-1.22.10.0421r/1.22.10.0424r

Any advise would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
[HTC Rezound] topgun1953:
For starters, you are on ics firmware so you should run the ics version of juopunutbear. I suggest flashing a rooted Rom based on the ota and then try again.
[HTC Rezound] jtayag:
I successfully flashed one of the stock ICS ROMs! What got me all confused to begin with was the prerequisite that I had to be on a stock Gingerbread ROM or the 3.14.605.5 ICS leak. That's why I tried flashing the original Vigor GB ROM on my phone. I still want to get S-OFF, but I need to read the instructions more carefully. Thanks for your help!
[HTC Rezound] tomtripp21:
So I just need to flash my backed up boot.img, and then flash the 3.14.605.12 RUU? Then re-root and retry the OTA Global Update?
[HTC Rezound] dragonstalker:
pretty much. From looking at everything looks like you are on ICS, but its not letting you reprogram. usually happens when an update fails. When you run Juonobear and run the ics upgrade over again, it should reboot like 3 or 4 times. Sounds like you never let the process finish. Final note, i'm not sure where you got your firmware from, but your radios do not look familiar. Not saying they are wrong, just not radio's i've ever seen flashed. BUT, I don't usually change radio's unless there is a huge need for it. you should be on radio's 10r/08r that come with the original ICS firmware update. I'll watch the thread throughout the day to lend support where I can. Hope this helps.
[HTC Rezound] tomtripp21:
Now I'm a little confused, sorry. I need to run the juopunutbear program again? My radios are 2.22.10.0801r/2.22.10.0803r, Hboot 2.27. I'm downloading the .12 RUU from Android Police. I've tried re-flashing the boot.img from my nand backup, but it keeps saying:

C:\mini-adb_vigor>fastboot flash boot.img

unknown partition 'boot.img'

error: cannot determine image filename for 'boot.img'

edit: I fixed the flash, I forgot to add the partition in the command, duh... So I flashed my backed up boot.img, now I just need to flash the .12 RUU?

I have the backup img in the file where I have fastboot, adb, etc.. What am I doing wrong?
[HTC Rezound] tomtripp21:
I have now tried to flash the .12 RUU in Hboot but it will not flash it, probably because my firmware is newer right? Back to the drawing board....
[HTC Rezound] tomtripp21:
Still to no avail I am getting nowhere. I flashed the stock recovery and did a factory reset from Hboot. Nothing, I have tried flashing the newest RUU, nothing, I'm flashed back to ra-recovery. Can anybody give me a solution step by step to get a ROM loaded and booting?
[HTC Rezound] tomtripp21:
Well I finally got it up and working. I loaded the old firmware and was able to restore by backup. Thanks to all who chimed in with helpful advice. I'm hesitant to retry the Global update, but I might go ahead and give it another shot.
[HTC Rezound] dragonstalker:
Glad you figured to restore the firmware. It's not hard to flash the global. Run the firmware, then run the recovery then flash Rom. Do it right in that order n you don't have any issues. Use 2 sdcards if you need to because the firmware upgrade won't delete the ph98 off your card. You will need to do it manually.

Root with CF-Root in stock recovery + Back up your existing kernel

Full Un-CF-Root and Restore your previous kernel

No need to a PC, no Odin, no Yellow Triangle or counter

Only one file flashed in stock recovery

Credits to Chainfire: http://www.chainfire.eu/

If there is one popular root method, it is for sure the CF-Root kernel one.

So, do not miss the original CF-Root thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

Advantages of CF-Root kernel are:

Original releases need to be flashed in odin, so you need a PC.

After flashing in odin, you get a Yellow Triangle and increase your custom flash counter. You need a special application called Yellow Triangle to reset these.

If you end up with a bootloop after flash (this can happen if you flash the wrong kernel) or you want to change your mind, you have to look for your previous kernel to flash it back

Unrooting needs you to flash a full ROM in odin, simply flashing previous kernel will not remove root.

In this thread, I got rid of these issues, putting the CF-Root kernel in a zip that can be flashed directly as an update in stock recovery.

The CF-Root files included here will backup your existing kernel to external sdcard (Kernel_Backup.img)

Later, you can restore your Kernel_Backup.img and fully unroot using the attached CF-Unroot file

CF-Root + Backup existing kernel files:

- Download the CF-Root zip file corresponding to your Kernel.

- Put the CF-Root zip file on your External SD (needed for stock recovery).

- Boot into stock recovery (volume up+home+power), and select "apply update from external storage".

- Select the CF-Root zip file from external SD

- It will backup your current kernel to Kernel_Backup.img file on the external SD and apply CF-Root for your kernel

Download:

CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXX_LPB-v5.2-CWM5-PROPER

CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPS-v5.4-CWM5

CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEZ_LPU-v5.6-CWM5

CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_LPX-v5.6-CWM5

CF-Unroot + Restores your Backup Kernel from SD Card

To completely remove CF-Root without having to flash a full ROM in odin, use the attached CF-Unroot.zip file

It will restore your Kernel_Backup.img file from external SD and remove all root files and CWM Manager application

It is unsigned as you are supposed to only use it on CF-Root Kernel when you have a Kernel_Backup.img made with previous method
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
FAQ / Fix for common issues

After flashing CF-Root kernel, you end up with no root access:

This is not caused by my script, but can happen even under odin when you flash many kernels

If it happens to you, just run the attached CF-Root-Fix.zip attached here. It will put superuser and cwmmanager application in /system

You used my CF-Unroot.zip file without the Kernel_Backup.img file in ext-sd

You should have read the instructions!

But do not worry, the script should now abort and nothing is done

You can use the CF-Unroot script to flash any kernel over CF-Root kernel

Just extract the zImage or boot.img file from the kernel you want to flash and rename it to Kernel_Backup.img

It can be useful to quickly try some kernels. Keep in mind that mobile odin can also directly flash zImage files.

So this is the bigger part you were talking before.. nice one. I see the successful signing gave you lot of new ideas ;) Anyway keep up the good work Phil!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
No, this part is easy. Can be helpful for many people not having PC, or when you're on the road, flash a ROM and want a root...

I am looking to make CWM permanent... but this moves me to custom kernels, while all my guides were about keeping stock kernel

Also, it will need a kernel build for each kernel version, no other way till now. So people will need to rely on me to build each kernel. Not sure I have the time for such a support.

Looking to release only a few kernels maybe.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Sounds like Chainfire's CF-Root kernel job ... big foot prints :cool:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
After all it is by far the most popular root method :)

This way it becomes extremely noob friendly, just flash a file in stock recovery

Yes, i will resize my foot prints when back to home
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Stileth:
Yeah CF-Root is most popular because it was for long the only reliable method, but since Rachmat3 came with the injection and you polished it to current state of art perfection ;) makes it little bit obsolete :p Why to bother with insecure kernel (and till now with counter increase and yellow triangle [not anymore as sorted by you again :p]) when you can do it in such easy and noob proof way? :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
Insecure kernel is useful for dev purposes and also to recover phone in some circumstances

CF-Root also comes with fixed cwm and a cwm manager, useful for dev and crazy flashers.

Also, i forget to mention customboot.sh and init.d support

So, depends on each one and its needs
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ksilver89:
With these zip, rooting an S2 can be done at the age of 5.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
Also, for the cf-unroot, you can put any zImage file, rename it to Kernel_Backup.img and it will flash your new kernel

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micropizza:
Heya guys. After about 9 hours of my Sunday being taken up reading pages of xda and google results trying to fix this phone, its finally time to ask for any possible help...

My friends' given me his Galaxy S3, he said he dropped it on holiday and now it wont connect to any network. Everything else aside from the notification LED/Light Sensor (are they on the same board?) seems to be fine going by the *#0*# diagnostics

He's never rooted the phone or anything like that, so would have no reason to ever have made an EFS backup. I've rooted the phone now, so I could try some other roms and modems and nothing I've tried all day has made the IMEI or Baseband say anything other than null/null & unknown.

I'm now starting to think something is physically damaged inside, or the EFS is corrupt which I gather you can't do anything about except send it to a samsung service centre.

I've looked at ways to somehow put back in the IMEI as its written here on the phone, but searches just end up looping back to NV-items_reader_writer.exe, but the *# code you use to setup the phone ready for this program doesn't work, it must be just for AT&T models? (this is 3 Network, UK)

Its currently back on official firmware and is still basically a small wifi tablet now.

Any thoughts greatly appreciated!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKunon:
Backup your current efs folder. Than try to flash 3 file stock ROM with repartition and efs clear option. It may resurrect your efs partition. Give it a try if nothing else working.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micropizza:
ok will try this, that's something i've not seen yet - are those efs options in Odin?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKunon:
Yes, it should reformat efs partition and remove junks. But make backup of this partition, ktool or similar app. You should also manually backup nv_data.bin. Its most important file.

Thanks very much! Odin was successful, though unfortunately it didn't work :(

IMIE still "null / null" and Baseband version "Unknown"

I guess it must be damaged hardware, I imagine it'll be very expensive to fix!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKunon:
Last chance is to use kTool from market, its freeware.

Make backup of efs inside app, then tap on menu touch button and select Advanced.

Now format efs partition and after that restore your backup on main page.

There is a chance that this will help. If not, and you have previously maded backup, after formating efs partition restore it manually.

Than you need set correct permissions and owner. Root and 644 for all files.

You can try to use 'fix permissions' command from cwm, but I don't know is it setting also permissions for efs partition. I always use root explorer to change separate files or terminal with recursive command to change them all at once.

Fixed by sending in for warranty

Just an update...I was having all of these symptoms...unknown IMEI, Baseband, etc...basically gave me an expensive media player for a few months while waiting for a fix on XDA. After no update I decided to call up Samsung and after talking to 3 different technicians, I was able to send it in. Just a note for anyone about to do the same, they will try very hard to blame it on the carrier/SIM card, so save yourself some trouble and just say you already went to the physical store of your carrier (calling isn't enough)and they couldn't get it working. Once you get past that, they will email you a printable 2-day UPS shipping label so you can ship it to them for free. It took 2 weeks from the time I called to having a working phone back in my hands.

This was their fix:

Problem found:

NO PCS SERVICE

Solution:

REPLACED PBA

After a quick search I found that the PBA is the motherboard, so it's definitely a hardware issue. Hope you guys are still under warranty because I've heard this is ~$200 to fix otherwise.

Good luck.
