Subject: How do I Upgrade Bootloader 3.01 to v8, with 1.7.3 recovery and a JB Rom installed ?

My A500 is currently configured as follows:

Bootloader Version 3.01

Recovery Version Thor 1.7.3

ROM Version JB-MR1(4.2) device building - v11

I would like to upgrade to the current Bootloader (from v3.01 to v8) so that I can get multi-boot working. I have followed the various posts to obtain the CPUID, but without success. As a result I am stuck at the first step without a valid SBK......

In the Recovery Screen, a CPU UUID starting with 0x037c...... with a length of 18 characters is shown. If I do a full backup from Recovery, and then have a look at the "uid.txt" file under the CWM Backup directory, it contains the same 18 character alpha numeric string.

When I tried the blackthund3r ATX flash tool's "A500Manager" it returned blank values for CPUID and Recovery Version. If I connect to the device using "adb devices" the serial number reported is an 11 digit number.

One of the guides from this forum (forgotten which guide now - I've looked at so many) suggested that maybe having a JB Rom on the old version of the bootloader was causing the problems and that a downgrade to a Honeycomb Rom was necessary. So after suitable backups, I installed the Lightspeed 2.1 Rooted Honeycomb ROM. It didn't change the way that the CPUIDs are being reported. I've since restored back to the JB-MR1(4.2) ROM.

Can someone please advise me:

1) What should the correct CPUID look like - i.e. how many characters, and alpha/numeric, or numeric only?

2) What process should I use in these circumstances to upgrade the Bootloader ?

Regards,

[Motorola Atrix 2] wormmd:
Hi all,

I'm trying to return to stock on a rooted Atrix 2 that was running a custom ROM on 2.3.6. I'm using the moto-fastboot method with the batch scripts and it's been stuck trying to write the system partition for 30 minutes. Can I safely unplug and try again?

Thanks!
[Motorola Atrix 2] wormmd:
The problem fixed itself. After several iterations of batch script and RSD 5.6 with old copies of the necessary files and finally a brand new set of firmware files and RSD 5.6.4, everything magically worked. I am now running stock 2.3.5 and am about to upgrade to ICS. Thanks for all of your help in the past, though, because this wouldn't have been possible without you the first time I did it and it wouldn't be possible now.

NOTE TO ALL NEWBS: Problems normally don't fix themselves. Find the proper way to do things on this forum and don't use my success story as any kind of example of anything other than the power of prayer (or sheer dumb luck, if you're not religious).

Hi guys,

Here's the story.

My uncle had his N7100 charging before going to bed. (with around 40% batt left.)

Upon waking up, its unable to power on/boot up.

While pressing button combos for Recovery/Download mode, no image/backlight but just a red light flash every 2s when pressing the power button.

I've tried;

• Battery pull

• Recovery/Download button combos

• Removed battery for a night

• Plugging in laptop.

• Charging

All these to no avail.

And oh. Its not rooted before. Stock all the way.

TIA

[Sony Xperia ZL] mahmoud.kunbaz:
When I first bought my ZL, I rooted the phone using

binary4 V27 on superuser mode

and that was very fast and simple. I could modify system files and do everything.

One day using my ultimate stupidness, I updated the firmware to 10.1.1.....253 then I did factory reset without doing a backup for my root.

Right now, when I go to settings -----> about ----> I get Kernal version 3.4.0 with android version 4.1.2 but unfortunately It seems like I don't have a rooted phone + I am unable to do any function of a rooted phone like modifying system files or ....etc .

I've tried million ways such as:

1- rooting the phone using the same method --------> the result is stucking at the wight screen and nothing happened.

2- Using motochopper method --------> doesn't work

3- Using the method of installing Android SDK and using the command prompt window to push (Su-busybox-superuser.apk) files to data/local/tmp/ --------> when reach sysrw step (sysrw not found)

tried to type SU (su not found)

tried to use one of the alternative commands like cd /system/usr/we-need-root or ./su-backup -----> file not found

or mount -o remount,rw '' /systemmount ---------> Operation not permitted

I will be following your instructions directly and give u the feed back

I am not gonna move anywhere until solving this issue BC I am getting crazy

I would highly appreciate your help guys , ... Thank you so much in advance
[Sony Xperia ZL] :
Check this out:

I did the same, was on rooted 434 version and updated to 253 and it unrooted. The 253 update can't be rooted by the normal exploit methods, but this post worked for me:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41727431&postcount=39

Took a little time, and everything on my phone was wiped when I had to unlock the bootloader again, but I now have my stock 253 ZL rooted and unlocked. :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] mahmoud.kunbaz:
Thank you so much for your reply but you know, that really seems to be so complicated :eek: :eek: :eek:

Ufffff
[Sony Xperia ZL] :
It's a lot more simple than it looks. Here's a slimmed-down version of the instructions:

Since you're already on the 253 update, you can skip numbers 1 & 2 from the other page and just start with numbers 1 & 2 below.

1) Download from this link the 0.9.10.2beta6 version of Flashtool: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2201189 and run the installer. Make sure to install to your computer's HDD root (ie; C:\Flashtool).

2) Make sure you have flashmode and fastboot drivers installed for your device. Easiest way to tell if they're done correctly is to open your Device Manager (in Windows), power off your phone, and plug it into a USB port in each of the modes and make sure no errors show up in the Device Manager.

3) Unlock your bootloader with the Flashtool. It'll have you first go into flashmode, and then prompt you to unplug and plug back into fastboot mode.

4) Download v07 of DooMKernel from this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2230826 and extract the boot.img file from the ZIP. Place the boot.img file into this directory: C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib where the fastboot.exe file is located.

5) Open a command window and type this while your phone is connected in fastboot mode:

cd C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib

- and then:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

- and then:

fastboot reboot

6) If you miss the chance to boot into recovery after that last step, reboot the phone once it has booted all the way and when you see the DooMKernel splash screen press (repeatedly, if necessary) the volume+ button. It should vibrate once. Once in recovery, just select to reboot system and it'll prompt whether you would like to root or not. Select the option to root and once it's done it should reboot.

Then just go and reconnect (in Android OS, not flash or fastboot modes) to Flashtool and install BusyBox, and download whichever SuperUser app you'd like from the Google Play Store and you're all set!
[Sony Xperia ZL] mahmoud.kunbaz:
WOOOOOOW this is really an awesome reply

Well done and well organized :):):)

I will try this very soon and reply to you with the results ;)

I really don't know how to thank you for this help , hope it works fine

Thank you again and again mate :good: :good: :good:
[Sony Xperia ZL] mahmoud.kunbaz:
I am so sorry for these silly questions,

But I honestly couldn't understand how to perform step 6

and lastly how to reconnect to flash tool in android system????

Thanks a lot in advance :o
[Sony Xperia ZL] :
For step 6 just repeatedly press the VOLUME+ button after you reboot your phone, and it will vibrate once after you see the splash screen for the kernel. The light at the bottom should turn fuchsia or pinkish, and you'll know it's going to boot into recovery. Once there, just select to reboot and it'll ask you if you want to root.

The last part about connecting back into the Flashtool is simple. Just boot your phone normally after it's rooted, and once your phone is powered on and USB debugging is enabled then start the Flashtool and plug your phone into your computer with a USB cable.
[Sony Xperia ZL] mahmoud.kunbaz:
Everything has worked perfectly :victory:

I honestly don't know how to thank you

you did a great favor for me

May god bless you

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] theEastonator:
So my girlfriend's Verizon Galaxy S III is in quite the jam. The power button stopped working. She has to use a software button to turn the screen off and the home key to turn it back on.

Verizon sent over a replacement, but she needs to send the original phone in. Problem is, the normal methods for returning to stock all involve Odin, which requires the phone to enter Download mode....which we can't do. The phone won't register the power button being held down. I don't even want to turn it off since I'm not sure it could be turned back on.

So I've been googling around for another way (already having used Triangle Away) and found a couple of sets of instructions (here and here) on using Odin Mobile to flash the phone back to stock. But there seem to be a lot of comments around, especially on the YouTube video guides, of people saying it bricked their phone.

What's the safest bet here? As far as I can tell these are the options:

-Shut down the phone and pray the power button somehow works for getting into download mode (doubtful) so I can use Odin.

-Restore a nandroid / flash a zip of the stock ROM and then use EZ Root or whatever to unroot the phone and hope Verizon doesn't look into it.

-Use one of these sets of instructions for Mobile Odin...though it's not clear which one is best and what files I should be using.

-Just send it in and pray.

Odin Mobile seems like the smartest option...but the instructions out there aren't as comprehensive and up to date as I'd like. I'd rather not brick the phone.

Can anyone help? The phone is currently on AOKP 4.2 Milestone.

I originally accidentally posted this in the international forum. A poster there advised that I use Odin Mobile. What files should I use to move safely back to stock? I've never flashed back to stock before so I'm not familiar with the best source or if there's a specific version I need.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
If all you need to do is get into download mode, you could probably force it with a usb jig. Then you can use ODIN on a pc and restore it that way. I have no idea how to use mobile odin, but I assume it shouldn't be that difficult to do a similar process. People make mistakes by not reading correctly and moving too fast through a process.

You could try to reboot, then while the phone is booting back up hold volume down + home to get to download mode. Just be ready to flash the phone, if your power button is broken you're only going to have 1 shot to do it and no way to verify it worked.

Did you happen to make a nandroid of your stock rooted rom? If so, you could just restore that and unroot it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] theEastonator:
I did create a back-up. Would restoring back-up -> using triangle away -> ez unlock to re lock bootloader -> unroot be just as good as using Odin?

What's the best tool for unrooting? I rooted it for her almost a year ago so I don't remember. I have a Galaxy Nexus myself.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
You can always unroot from a superuser app from within the rom itself. On a stock rom you would simply relock with ez unlock, unroot with superuser app, then phone would be pretty much stock.

All triangle away does is erase the flash counter, you only had to do that once. It won't be tripped unless you flashed something over odin.

I think your best bet is to restore that backup, then accept an OTA update after unrooting and relocking the bootloader. That will overwrite your recovery partition and make sure you're back to full stock. Is your stock backup touchwiz 4.0.4 or 4.1.1? It won't work with a 4.1.2 backup.
