[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] marcmarshall:
I need to return my Dinc2 to Verizon for a replacement. I flashed the "return to stock" image from the very helpful post by Condemned Soul http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=24854198 so now I am still s-off and the bootloader reads "Revolutionary" and s-off (see attached image). I read in posts that this is not an issue for Verizon and that they will not give me a hard time about a void warranty. I just want to verify this before I send the phone in as I am also cancelling my service with them.

Has anyone had a problem regarding warranty with returning a phone that is s-off to Verizon? Can I return it with S-off as I have read posted? I don't really want to risk bricking it changing to s-on.

Here is the state of the phone now:

Android version- 2.3.4

Software #- 5.10.605.9

Baseband- 20.32W.30.0813U_1.09.01.1111

I have attached a pic of the bootloader

Thanks.

It don't matter, I sent mine in the same way and they didn't say anything lol.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jonathanm1978:
What exactly is this, or what do the two terms mean?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] marcmarshall:
Thanks. After checking further I could not find anyone who had a problem. I sent it this afternoon. I plan on selling the replacement.

What terms are you asking about?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jonathanm1978:
S-on and S-off
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] marcmarshall:
Security on/off. If you plan on doing any flashing this is one of the first things you need to learn about, after you learn how to use the search function :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jonathanm1978:
Coming from an optimus s that I learned to flash on, and going into a "root your s3"thread, then to a custom Rom thread, I never saw the terms mentioned. And I read them many times along with other Rom threads.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] marcmarshall:
This only my 3rd smart phone. I had the HTC Incredible and Inc 2 before. Maybe that LG doesn't use it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
S-ON/OFF is specific to HTC, it's their way of letting you use the HTCDev unlock to flash custom ROMs without unlocking everything, so theoretically it's harder to brick your phone.

Yeeeees! Samsung heard us (at least some of us) and the Jelly Bean is going to be released for a lot of mid-end and old high-end phones! I have an Ace Plus and even it is going have the candy update! But for galaxy tab 7 and variations owners, bad news .... Better take a look at the news:

It's gonna take a few months, but I'm so happy........... . :):):):):rolleyes::p:p:rolleyes::rolleyes::o:o
[Android General] Mazurofon:
Even galaxy mini 2 is getting Jelly Bean:eek:
[Android General] gabriel2anjos:
They updated some mid-range, but for me the Galaxy Mini with it's 800mhz processor isn't that able to get the update. But who cares? It's good for galaxy Mini owners! :)

[Android General] gabriel2anjos:
The Galaxy S advanced is also the SII lite or something like that, isn't it?

BTW, I really hope that it doesn't come with that ugly TouchWiz, only with. the stock launcher. And u people?

And some posts above, sorry, I was talking about the Galaxy Mini 2.

[Android General] sacaudill:
Finally, Samsung is getting serious about pushing out new updates! If they would only do it for all phones that support JB then we would be in business!
[Android General] Hrustus:
Ch@t ? Galaxy Mini 2? :eek:

Where is Y?! :D
[Android General] stevie13.xo:
Touchwiz 4.0 with jellybean? I'd beg to differ.
[Android General] gabriel2anjos:
Forget it man.... Sorry, but galaxy Y is really hardware weak. But I think that it have a JB custom rom, maybe cyanogenmod 10?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budisuharto:
Guys need a bit of help here.

I was on ICS wanam rom initially and I did 2 things:

1. Changed my csc

2. Did a wipe etc and updated to JB wanam rom

Now the internal sdcard folder becomes sdcard0, and more frustratingly, the data is gone, ie the pictures, music etc that I saved on internal sd card. App settings etc that are backed up via titanium are intact, but the pictures, music, downloaded files etc are missing.

The strange thing is, my wallpaper is still the same, even though I can't find the source file on my internal sd!

My gut feel is that, the data isn't actually deleted, but stored in some obscure location that I can't access.

Can someone help please? Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chaitanyapatel8880:
If you were using ICS before and than you flashed it to JB than it will WIPE EVERYTHING in the phone except External Sd Card. you can try to recover them by using some of software in the market available to recover deleted files.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budisuharto:
I didn't know that at all :( Why was it not mentioned anywhere?!?! When I went from Froyo to GB, I don't recall everything being wiped.

If I load up an ICS nandroid backup, would it recover those?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chaitanyapatel8880:
Sadly it happened to me also but I was able to recover a few files with a recovery software through my Laptop. I think you should try something like that... may be you can recover something. and something is always batter than nothing... :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BOZG:
Every single place that I've seen mentions of wipes or CSC changes warns of data deletion. I don't think you're looking hard enough.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budisuharto:
Yea I read those, but I thought it meant wiping the configs,system file, etc, and not stuff on the internal SD card. Even when you go to Settings, Factory Reset, it says 'pictures, media files' etc are excluded from the wiping.

So even if I load up an old Nandroid, the files aren't recoverable?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budisuharto:
confirmed that restoring old Nandroid backup doesn't recover the pictures/media/etc.

Change CSC wipe is deadliest type of wipe available!!!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BOZG:
Yeah, unfortunately all is lost. There is a moral in this - always have an off phone backup!

Out of curiosity, I believe that once you try to change CSC there's no warning. Is that true?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budisuharto:
Yup. I always back up with Nandroid and Titanium and SMS backup and restore. But when the internal SD data is wiped, it's useless because some of the backups are stored in the internal SD which got wiped!

And yes, no warning prior to or after the CSC change. So be very careful!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ABC_Universal:
I lost my internal sd data once due to that csc thing as well. Fortunately I made a full backup a week earlier. Yet it's still very very frustrating.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheLastSidekick:
Now, I don't want to make rumors or anything, but this isn't a rumor. Listen to my line of logic for a second, even if the SGH-t989 doesn't get Jelly Bean, the SkyRocket will at which point a complete, stable version of Jelly Bean can be ported. Know that we know it's incoming, we just need to play a waiting game..

They mentioned Galaxy S II LTE, which is identical to the T989. So even if it's not released to T-Mobile officially one of the great devs here will port it, no doubt.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EdwardLThompson:
I was running CM9 and then went to MIUI and then back to CM9. Ever since I have not been able to do a proper update to the CM9. Got fed up with it and tried to roll it back to one of the Nandroid backups. It got stuck for hours. Pulled the battery. Tried to go through the process of installing CM9 again fresh. Used Darkside SuperWipe and it kept freezing on "Wiping Cache" and the same thing when I use CWM (v6.0.1.4)! I have attached two screen shots. It reads:

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

Then when I ask it to format the cache it get frozen.

How can I fix the cache? I cannot boot into CM9 or anything for that matter. I just get the awesome little Cyan Dude and the warp background flying at me continually until I pull the battery. Can anyone help? Is there any way to get ADB to work with out turning on USB Debugging on the phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Psychotic-Cerebellum:
Same issue with Clockworkmod Recovery

Sorry to say I can't answer your question, but actually just downloaded cm9 and was trying to factory reset in order to prepare to flash it and ran into the same cache issue. I tried everything and still couldn't get around it, almost bricked my phone, got stuck in a loop. Hadn't even done anything yet, except download the cm9 Rom. Also freezes when trying to wipe cache and when trying to restore a backup when it gets to the cache. I'll be keeping an eye on your post, and Ill let you know if I figure anything out as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
I hate to say it but... use TWRP. It looks and works better. Trust me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EdwardLThompson:
I trust you but on the Team Win Recovery Project's changelog you can see that it has not been updated in almost a year! CWM is updated much more frequently and also I enjoy having the touch version! Very convenient.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mintharis:
I've been reading that CWM v6.0.1.4 is causing problems with our phone. Would advise downgrading back to 5.0.2.7 and use the darkside scripts to wipe. I haven't had an issue with this version since it was released (other than needing to use darkside scripts lol).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EdwardLThompson:
Thank you my friend. What you describe is exactly what happened to me. Tell me, what version of CWM Recovery do you have? Were you coming from stock? Which CM9 was it? Nightly, stable?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EdwardLThompson:
Please pardon my ignorance as I am relatively new at all this. How do you downgrade CWM? I am unable to boot the phone into the ROM. Can it be done through Recovery? ODIN?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mintharis:
I've looked around but I can't find a download for 5.0.2.7-- at least not one that's labeled specifically for our phone. It can be done in many different ways, flashing via recovery or Odin would definitely work, just need to find the right file.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Psychotic-Cerebellum:
Same version as you've got. Was actually coming from Jedi Mind Trick v8 and was going with the nighty. I loaded a backup of my stock ICS, which of course froze during the restore once it got to the cache, but I let it sit for like 15 min or so and then reset it and surprisingly it loaded up fine despite the fact that I had to reset it during the restore. I'm trying to follow up with the advice these two guys gave me on my post (really the same thing they've told you). With my extremely limited knowledge in this field I'm still working it all out and trying to make sure I ask the stupid questions so as not to mess anything up, well at least not too bad, lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] VoiD_Dweller:
Go into rom manager and scroll down to previous versions
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mintharis:
I don't have ROM manager installed. Does it provide a tar that can be flashed via Odin?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sc0rp1n0x:
Newer Recovery

Clockworkmod 6 doesn't need the Darkside tools anymore. I had a similar problem but it was causing my phone to lock up. Just try using the regular cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe and see if that works for you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Pugnap00:
I can confirm this, I have a samsung galaxy S II and I was having HUGE problems with the newer version of CWM. Cache would not clear at all even with darksides super wipe. My CM9 was stuck in a boot loop because I had forgotten to clear my cache and factory reset, and I was not able to do this at all, so i thought i was screwed.

However what i did was flash an older version of CWM (5.0.2.7) through odin, and BAM I was able to clear all my data with no problem and reflash CM9. Works perfectly now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mintharis:
Can you please provide a link for the 5.0.2.7 tar you flashed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] UnseenMaster:
CWM v6.0.1.4 has pretty much made my phone useless. When in Recovery I can't even scroll down or up. I even tried restarting my phone to downgrade but I have no response from my MENU, HOME, BACK or SEARCH button.

WORD OF ADVICE. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM CWM v6.0.1.4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ksrikanthreddy777:
Simple Solution is that the Cache in your device is large, it has to be cleaned, For this use Darkside cache wipe. It Solves the problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Pugnap00:
suffuciently hungeom

Here you go,

Look at step 6, it will have links to the tar based on your carrier. Its actually 5.0.2.6, works just the same though.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mainmast2:
That happened to me as well when I was going to update to CM10. The faq for CM10 says you need to update to a Touch version of CWM which ROM Manager really wanted to install the Touch version. CWM shows it's version 6 and the menus were different but when I was finally able to get a ROM to boot in Safe Mode it reported CWM as being version 5.x. I could not mount or dismount the Cache in CWM. ODIN brought it back to stock but I messed around with the partition checkbox and hard bricked it. Otherwise it looked as tho things would have been ok after using ODIN to start over.

Darkside's wipe wouldn't work (either version) in this case.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ClaireH:
screw cwm im going to twrp

ok same thing happened to me..but there are files i need in the phone and i dont think i want to use cwm after this...so can i use odin to flash it to twrp and recover my files through the twrp usb mount?

(lol nvm, i flashed a older version of cwm through odin and then recovered my files then got twrp)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Psychotic-Cerebellum:
Like I said in my earlier post had your exact problem and did exactly what was recommend here, and it worked beautifully. Solved all my problems, no residual effects to speak of. Now I can flash my roms in peace.

Anyone post step by step?

Hey guys,

i have same problem, i use CWM 6.0.2.8 with darkside and now have some issue below:

- Can't boot to rom (loop)

- Can't use CWM, when i try install new zip it stop working:( Seem early i can move up move down or select from CWM but can't use any function:(

I don't know how to downgrade CWM to 5.x:(

Anybody help me. Im very thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EdwardLThompson:
I had to install TWRP. The problem occurred after running the Darkside Wipe Script. It apparently causes conflicts with CWM 6.x. I installed TWRP and everything has been running smoothly since. I had never tried it before but I actually prefer it to CWM. It has a lot more features and touch is FREE.

GO TO THE POST BELOW FOR THE RECOVERY AND INFO. PLEASE THANK HIM

CLICK ME FOR POST.

This is his topic full of stock recoveries and what-not

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

Bear in mind that I do not have the time to restore to stock, and then check it for myself if you can extract the stock recovery without root, but you probably can. Please refer to the quote I will post below as I have little time to clean this post up.

Please thank user Davy Jones for actually finding the solution!

My post starts here

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

Alrighty that's wonderful. I am trying a guide right now and I will see if I am successful at extracting a recovery and I will report back.

EDIT

I've made wonderful process, and I've extracted a 10mb file which what the recovery.img supposed to be resized to.

So i've basically typed in

After this, I got a huge list of the partitions, and using this I've confirmed that mmcblk0p22 is the block that contains the recovery (I also made sure that I didn't extract something else, etc by checking what the userdata and sdcard size is supposed to be?

Then I typed in

and got

So I ended up with a 10MB file sitting in the root of my internal memory (known as sdcard)

Now I will try to confirm if it is the same file as my recovery.

EDIT

Well after more digging around.. I found this and where it says "Download - Recovery Image Method (using dd):" It shows that the block which the recovery is in in actually the same as the one above, so there was an easier way. Oh well! At least we confirmed that we have the correct file, the question is, can we flash it, guess I'll try after I get home.

If you want to try this out on a NON-Rooted one, you'll have to go to Settings>Developer Options>Root access and allow ADB.

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

Quote ends here.

Hopefully you're a Koodo owner reading this and have noticed the title.

Many of us Koodo owners, have rooted, installed a custom recovery, and have started the flashing frenzy, but we have forgot one thing.

No its not making a NAND of the stock ROM, its the fact the we forgot to backup our stock recoveries! I know it might not be a difference compared to the Telus recovery, but we still need to be sure, that when we want to update, or if we want to return the phone, what we are fully stock.

So what I'm asking you, is to make a backup of your Koodo stock recovery, and share it with us :D

Unfortunately I do not know how to extract a recovery.img. So hopefully an XDA member will post a guide in this to help us extract the .img

or as always, Google is your best friend :D

Cheers, and thanks

EDIT

Those are the instructions.
