If your phone has ever been updated to either Android version 4.3 or 4.4.2.... then you can't restore back to VRALJB, VRAMC3, or Root66 because the bootloader is locked and impossible at present for you to downgrade back to an earlier Android version because of security locks of the bootloader.

If you were on 4.3 previously... and never updated to 4.4.2, then you can Odin restore back to 4.3.

If you ever updated to 4.4.2, then you will only be able to Odin restore the phone back to 4.4.2.

Here's some links to a couple of posts where I tried to help others previously: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=57944591 AND http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=56167850

Read through Droidstyle's restore guide closely as well, as his guide should help you to fix your phone.

wow..it finally worked! Here's what I ended up doing:

I downloaded a newer Odin, tried to get 3.10 but it wouldn't launch correctly so got 3.9 and it did open correctly. All buttons besides PIT are different, but I just matched them up to 3.7 (BT is bootloader, AP is PDA..etc). Anyway, I decided to try the latest build rom I could because I couldn't remember what version I was on before yellow triangle of death, so I put VRUFND7 in the AP field and used the PIT file also.

IT WORKED! But...this VRUFND7 file was NOT an alternate file. What I mean by that is this file had the sboot.bin in it, it wasn't stripped like the older files I had tried before. I really did not think that any file with sboot.bin still in it would work. Maybe because the versions of the build files I had tried didn't match up to what I was on, and that's why they kept failing at sboot.

I don't know, just happy to see that damned red Verizon check splash! Anyway, I hope that anyone who was in my situation can be helped from this. Thanks for your advice, mattnmag!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
Cool man. Glad you didn't give up and you got it fixed. Now if you want to root it, check out the GhettoRoot thread. Also, people are reporting that safestrap works for 4.4.2... but you can only use touchwiz ROM'S that are 4.4.2 stock kernel... Alliance 30 is one of the ROM'S I've read that others are using.

Have fun!! :) :thumbup:

Hi all,

I ran into a strange situation, and I need help.

I was using AOKP JB 4.2.1 on my HOX, but before I flashed it, I made a nandroid backup from my original rooted stock JB, of course.

Two days ago I wanted to use this backup and flash my rooted stock JB again, but CWM gave an error message (md5 is wrong) so I was not able to revert back to this nandroid backup.

I have several nandroid backups, but they are my previous ICS roms. After updateing my stock ICS to stock JB over OTA, my HBOOT changed of course.

Am I able to flash one of my older ICS backups, and then upgrade it again to JB with OTA?

Thanks for your help!

Remember to lock your bootloader before installing the update!

No with a stock backup you do not have to lock the bootloader !

Hi all, I come from the HTC One V forum and recently we had our 2 sources for RUUs taken down by HTC and it's lawyers. I've decided to put my skin on the line for the greater good of all HTC users. Thus, I am starting a campaign to obtain as many RUUs as possible before HTC shuts everything down. My list is this so far:

I'm reaching out for the community's help to archive this information before those grubby, fat lawyers cease and desist everything in sight. If you know of an RUU that's not on that list, please submit it here. If your link contains multiple RUUs, just post the whole website and I will sort through it. Please refrain from posting false information.

I had the same issue. Even clearing cache didn't help. Fortunately for only having 3 apps installed, I just updated/installed all 3 and it finally went away.

Their app is lacking in usability. Such as telling you an app is to be updated but not telling you which, plus the loops of signing in repeatedly.

Hi guys!

I've just seen that in the igloocommunity site today has been released a new ICS rom running on top of 3.4 kernel.

So, I downloaded the kernel file, converted the uImage in zImage and merged with FXP204 ramdisk. Actually i didn't yet tested it, because I haven't enaugh time today.

What I've used:

uImage to zImage tools: http://buffalo.nas-central.org/wiki/How_to_Extract_an_uImage

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nickholtus:
won't work!

zimage is device specific, you cant just use one from another device. you need to compile zimage from source, which isn't possible yet, because there aren't any sources for xperia devices.

You will get 3.4 kernel after xperia p jellybean release.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Vaste92:
Uh!

I thought that with that ramdisk this should have worked.

BTW I was just trying doing and learnig something ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nickholtus:
yeah, but ramdisk isn't a problem, ramdisk is less device specific

Zimage cotains all drivers for display, bootloader, wifi, bluetooth, sound and everything else

[Galaxy S II General] eraser0:
hey,

many of us have faced an issue with the battery after flashing the official JB

well this may not be a sol " cuz i don't know what happend!"

so what i did was

1. flashing LPF 4.0.3 wipe data before flashing , not after.

2. flashing the ls8 and the lpx modem at the same time no data wipe

thats it :)
[Galaxy S II General] sergioortegac:
I'll try this :)
[Galaxy S II General] Vazduh:
From the screenshot I see that you have a big problem with reception signal, which, most likely, causes many wakelocks. Change the modem with one from your country. And whats the solution btw?
[Galaxy S II General] Donnie Sins:
I don't get this too. Your screenshot is full of wakelocks, and the only reason your battery isn't empty yet is because your screen wasn't on all the time...

[Galaxy S II General] d1rX:
Sure, but first post what apps you're running in background -- maybe it's not media, but something else like Google Now, location service (maps)? How does your phone "sleep"? Does it wake up?

Anyway, media fix that seem to resolve my problems (no more media scanner in task manager)

no i connected it to the pc for some time

also i didn't disable any service and the battery is lasting for me more than ics

regarding your question, i tend to kill tasks always after i finish using my phone, in fact i clear the ram.

Just as a precaution, copy cache folder from SD internal to SD external and delete everything in SD internal DCIM folder. Something else is draining your battery. That 18 hours is too little IMO
[Galaxy S II General] PlutoDelic:
/storage/sdcard0/DCIM only contains Photo and Video folders, both empty. im using the stock file manager, i guess what u've asked me for may be hidden. However, there is a "/storage/extSdCard/DCIM/Camera/cache"
[Galaxy S II General] d1rX:
It is hidden in mine, but if you see the one on excard than you should see one in internal card. You have to look for wakelocks -- install BetterBatteryStats. I don't know any other method. That app will basically tell you anything.

Give this a read. It will get you started on how to find what's causing the wakes
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GaryWS:
Passing my P3 on to my wife and need to get it back to stock.

Got as far as loading the 3.2 firmware from sammobile using fastboot as Odin won't flash.

It recognises an OTA update but fails to download the update. I actually think that it fails to install but in any event it get stuck.

The kernel is still at 2.6.36.3 and baseband is the P7500 one.

I think that the kernel is located in the boot.img but it doesn't look like I am able to overwrite it with fastboot.

The bootloader seems to be replaced but I still have a unlocked bootloader.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pruano:
You need to restore the stock recovery as well, ClockworkMod Recovery wont handle OTA updates.

Do fastboot flash recovery [recovery img] to reflash the stock recovery.

To re-lock the bootloader, try fastboot oem lock (not tried).

Note that it appears that even if relocking the bootloader, manufacturers have ways of knowing if the bootloader has been unlocked. However, since the purpose is to give it to someone else with possibly less technical skills (that does not require the feature), a locked bootloader is an added security.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GaryWS:
thx pruano, the stock firmware contains a recovery image. This writes ok ... I also tried locking the bootloader - it locks ok but with the same results :(

It looks like the kernel might be the problem ...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pruano:
Did you flashed ALL the imgs (boot.img, recovery.img and system.img) from the PDA archive?

You can always erase/format the partitions with fastboot erase/format [boot|recovery|system] before re-flashing the images... (important note: if you erase/format the boot partition, do not leave recovery without flashing a new boot img).

I would also restore the stock modem (you need the one from P7100BUKE2, as P7100BULB4 does not have it) - for this you will need Odin.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GaryWS:
Pruano, using fastboot, the erase command seems to work but format does not. Why do you say that I need Odin to flash the modem? I have done this with fastboot previously using "fastboot flash radio modem.img" ...

Edit: Pruano, you put me onto the right track. The modem was the problem. Once I got the original modem from P7100BUKE2 installed it all worked fine - even with unlocked bootloader.

and just for interest i had to use: "fastboot flash modem modem.img"
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pruano:
Did not know fastboot would recognize that partition, not on the docs.

Always learning.

Yes, unlocked bootloaders do not interfere with OTAs

Regarding the modem, in truth it was a long shot, just a step to restore to pristine state.

The knowledge that the P7500 modem works best with custom ROMs and flashing it as a common procedure is relatively new, no wonder one had to guess that it would interfere with OTAs (as its not obvious, probably the OTA install does some kind of background safety check using the modem firmware as base); good to know for the future.
[HTC One S] PJMAN2952:
I have a problem when I reboot into recovery. The recovery that I am using on my HTC One S is TWRP. When I go into the bootloader and go to recovery, it will boot up to the HTC screen with red text on it. Then the phone will restart and boot normally. Then I would have to go to bootloader again and go into recovery and then it goes into TWRP. I don't know why I have to do this twice. I am not sure what I have done wrong and I can't find a way to fix this. Also I've been trying to flash CM10 and on the first boot, it stays on the animation for a long time. And one last thing. Root checker says I am rooted but when I use Apex Launcher and use a stock HTC widget, it says that it doesn't have root permissions. So can anyone help me with this? This is also my first time on XDA. Another problem. When I restore from a backup, it boots up fine. But then it stays on the lockscreen for couple of seconds and it restarts again. And when I rooted my phone by flashing SuperUser, It didn't say upgrading android. Was it suppose to?

I have determined that the Note 10.1 is perfect for my business (sales rep). I am now looking to buy Notes for each member of my sales team. I was wondering what the best approach is for setting up multiple Notes. Is it possible to create a generic Google Playstore account (i.e. businessname@gmail.com) that could be loaded on multiple devices? That way all the apps I want my salesmen to use will be loaded on each tablet? If that is possible, can the user add a separate Playstore account so they can add their own personall apps?

Good choice :)

you can use multiple gmail accounts no problem. I have 2 on mine, ones a personal account and the other is a shared account.

I had the shared account on another note 10.1so I can transfer between the two using google drive and have a shared inbox. I can install apps with either my personal or shared fine, though have never tried with paid apps.

Also, You would have to manually configure each note!

If you would of read rls15 is having problems booting.

You have to pick developer's choice in Aroma.

And as soon as your phone boots up disable ripple effect.

So do I now. I dont see a solution in the Rom thread
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Addiso:
I just told you what to do? Flash the rom with developers choice and when it's done booted up disable ripple effect before the phone goes to sleeps and locks.

And maybe you just didn't ewad enough because it there was about a hundred complaints of the same exact thing, I'm not kidding.

Your phone will evebtually recognize to get into recovery mode, keep trying since you phone can at least boot up.

That is because you didn't do a clean install (wipe data cache, dalvik cache,factory reset and system). Also you didn't choose developer's choice in the aroma installer.
