How do I unroot my phone, step by step?

I needed to unroot my phone a month or more ago to return for warranty. I failed, I thought I'd returned it, as is, but I haven't.

I've got Friday, Monday through Thursday (during working hours) to get this thing in back to unrooted stock. I don't know if it is actually worth returning in unlocked old gingerbread state, but I guess if all else fails, that's what I'll do, next Thursday.

It's current state is:

***UNLOCKED***

MECHA XD SHIP S-ON

HBOOT- 1.05.0000

MICROP-/

RADIO01.48.00.0930w_3

eMMC-boot

Jul 18 2011, 14:51:08

I need total for dummy steps to:

Flash an old radio (I need for dummy step-by-step and which file ).

Flash some version of stock (dummy steps and file).

Then I need steps for returning to "locked".

Then I should be able to do OTA and it will be stock HTC Thunderbolt ICS?

I know adb, HTC Sync & HTC drivers are installed, but I don't remember how to access and run adb.

What I know about the failure before is that I was getting stuck when at running running the PG05IMG.zip in recovery to

***RELOCKED***

*** Security Warning ***

There it is Main Version is older!

Update Fail!

I've read the pinned how to return to stock gingerbread, unroot, but I really don't understand it now. I am not sure what to do or not do there and it doesn't match what I was doing before.

There's a thread where one guy had same problems and resolved them, but I don't know exactly what he did and didn't get a chance to attempt the same resolution. I had commented that thread. If someone can find it and understand it better than I, maybe they can translate what I need to do?

I know adb, htc sync and drivers are installed, but I don't remember how to run access the adb I have installed, now.

I'm kinda desperate, Verizon wants a ridiculous $569.99 for this relic! (I'm going to use and lose my insurance, for a $99 deductible and just say I lost the damn thing, before I pay that, but I don't know if that claim would go fast enough to match the 30 day hold, I can't start until 7/9). I'll return the "warranty replacement" and buy something decent retail & if verizon is too obnoxious, goodbye grandfathered data, hello T-mobile. But then I'd be without a working phone, which I need for work & the returns aren't allowed to be done or count in store (wtf?). So, I have to deal with USPS and 15 day suspense, while an outrageous bill (and $45 taxes) hangs over my head.

I just got my pair of Google Glass from someone as a gift. This is allowed in the Glass terms of service. However, since I was not the one chosen to be an explorer I do not have access to the Mirror API in my Google account. I plan to develop some really cool apps for Glass but I can't do it without access to the API so I am wondering if anyone out there with API access wants to partner with me in exchange for access to their API. I wouldn't need your Google login, you would just have to create Mirror API projects and invite me to them.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abcd200:
Unrooted stock HD+.

Installed some apps and did not try the nook library for a while

(library was working before).

Then tried the library and was getting a message

library has stopped unexpectedly. Library was stopping though it was definitely opening for a second.

Restored from a backup (CWM) and reinstalled some apps etc ... checking if library works.

Then I re-enabled a setting in Power Toggles.

play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc&hl=en

The setting description is in goolge play :

"Android currently does not support adding a notification which is always on the top. You can enable an accessibility service which pushes the widget on the top whenever a new notification arrives.

On the main application screen, click the pin icon in the notification section, and enable the “Power Controls” accessibility service to make the widget pin to the top of the notification area."

And after that I got the message library has stopped unexpectedly when I tried library.

Disabled the “Power Controls” accessibility service -and library is working.

Well - I sure googled the problem before I restored from the backup.

But by the way non-rooted stock even doesn't enable to clear the library cache.

So whoever will google this problem next could find this thread :).

Hi Guys,

Just changed to the XDA2s from the XDA2, and i've got real problems getting my TomTom GPS to work. All set up fine on the standard 2, but it just won't work with the XDA2s. Does anyone know how to get it linked!!

Cheers

[General Accessories] xanth:
I don't know if this'll help so sorry if this isn't relevant, but I'm using a Navman GPS with the Tom Tom software, which although is different hardware does work ok.

I just have mine set to: "TomTom Wireless GPS" and in the second box "Bluetooth Serial Port 6". The first time you try to connect it asks which Bluetooth device to link com 6 to and after that I work just fine.

Hope that helps somehow!

Okay, I had upgraded to 10.1 Aries and it was working fine and I tried changing some things with UOT kitchen and I got a "no service" problem. I have tried reinstalling from stock a couple of times but it doesn't make any difference. tried flashing a different modem and that didn't work either. The phone boots up and wi-fi works, but not the phone or data. Tried flashing an efs restore file and that didn't work either. Bill's paid for tmobile. I tried restoring from a nandroid backup and there is no change. IMEI is all zeros IMEI SV is 02 mobile network state is disconnected.

what to do?

Have you upgraded from a GB ROM to an Team Acid ICS ROM? Their upgrade script automatically backs up you efs files.

Try extracting the tar file from the backup and taking the contents and stick it in the efs folder. That worked for me once :/ there is also a script Team Acid posted per my request somewhere in the Stupid Questions Thread.

Flash back to stock then flash aries release 3. Next time u get the no connection turn off wifi and just wait longer. Sometimes it just takes a bit after boot. Reflashing the modem (make sure you are flashing fb padded modem). That should do it. I started reflashing a modem after aries every time then realized i just had to wait an extra 20 seconds after booting up. Release 3 pretty good with this
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TwitchyEye:
I have the same issue. Had been running Aries beanstalk since it came out, switched to dao's pacman and after a couple days it seems the radio chip quit or something. Tried different modems, restoring nandroid, flashed back to stock, went and got a new Sim card. Nada. So... Yeah I had to pay 5 bucks for a new phone lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] turtlepa:
After doing more testing.. Kb5 and kc1 dont flash... You need to flash kd1 and up and make sure they are padded.

And if u do install aries then flash kc1 by mistake it will say baseband unknown imei unknown.. But you dont have to do one click.. Just flash padded kd1 ki1 lb6 anything besides kb5 and kc1. I think it has to do with byte size of modem file.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I don't remember exactly where but there should be a folder on your SD card with all the efs backups created when you upgraded to mtd.

The filename should be efs-backup.tar and it could also have numbers in the backup name
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] CSP III:
mine too. i'm always checking that folder because I always forget whats in it. I see it and am like what the hell is that and then, oh yeah....duh! was never really sure if that was good stuff in there. thankfully never had to use it......yet!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nazcalito:
I tried restoring from some other efs backup but I'll look around and see if there is any more backups. I have the sd card saved on my hard disk as well. There should be several backups. Somehow, though, I don't think its the imei or 10.1 is storing the IMEI in a different place or folder. This is too bad because the Aries version of 10.1 is really nice.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Johnmonkey0:
I pretty much have the same problem. After upgrading to 10.1 I can't get any reception even though I tried flashing stock and padded modems on 10.1.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nazcalito:
i found several efs backups in the backup folder, but expanding them and replacing the efs folder on my phone makes no difference at all, IMEI is still 00000000 ..... unless 10.1 uses an efs folder in a different location that is. This is acting like there is a second backup location for the phone information that,if you don't delete it or overwrite it, restores the bad efs informaiton.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] champ1919:
Nvm... deleted. :o
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nazcalito:
Does anyone know whether the imei information is located in a different location with MTD roms? I have been using the efs folder.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] travbrack:
I have the same problem. I was using Aries 10.1 just fine. Everything worked great. Then all of a sudden I get no signal. I tried restoring back to stock oneclick w/ factory reset several times. I have an EFS backup which I've restored several times both manually and automatically. No signal, no baseband version, no IMEI. It says unknown on settings for IMEI.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] travbrack:
Also worth nothing that while on CM7 I tried every modem without any success. And I did try doing the oneclick back to stock with the same outcome.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Flash the KD1 modem
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
I have a phone that has a dead radio chip, as in it won't connect to bluetooth/gps/or any network with a valid SIM in it, but it still shows Baseband and IMEI when flashed with different ROM's, so I don't think anyone's radio chip died on them.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] travbrack:
Tried it on CM9 with no luck. Tried it on CM7 also with no luck. I've restored my efs-backup.tar over and over so I'm pretty sure I have a good EFS partition.

Edit: Just tried again on cm9 with no luck on mtd padded modem
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] travbrack:
Tried again on 10.1. Anyone? I'm seriously considering buying a vibrant.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TwitchyEye:
There's been a few of us that suddenly and completely lost data. I sent my phone back to T-Mobile. Nobody has come up with a solution.

In my situation I had all 0's for my imei since like August of last year and I hadn't had any problems. I ran Aries beanstalk for a few days then switched to pac-man, and this was before they resolved the call and multiple text issue in the aries kernel. All of a sudden there's no network. It happened some time after getting a call. I already sent my phone back so I failed to get any logs to see if there's some crap that devs could look at to hopefully come up with a solution.

I tried flashing different modems, restoring efs backups, flashing back to stock, and getting a new sim.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
This issue is starting to worrry me. I've run into the issue with Team Acid's CM9 aries and it turned out to be a modem issue which I'm looking into today. I can't attest to other issues that may arise in the JB roms, but it looks like it's specific to jellybean.

The thing I find the most worrying if true is that flashing back to stock didn't repair it. The MTD flashing procedure doesn't not write to the BML /efs partition. This means that if you flash back to stock you should have an intact BML /efs with working files (assuming you had a good IMEI, data, phone calls and sms on stock)

If anyone can come up with specifc steps to replicate the issue it would help us a lot. This is a pretty major bug and it'd be a shame to see more people damage their phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] travbrack:
I guess it's possible I was just impatient and restored my /efs backup too soon without giving it a chance to work. My efs backup might have been bad. Nv_data seems to be the right size though. Would it maybe work to flash an odin backup of /efs?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Go back to stock using this guide and do NOT try to restore backups or flash anything else.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21953878&postcount=2

Once you're running stock make sure everything works (calling, sms, data) and verify that you have both a baseband and an IMEI in Settings > About Phone. After you have verified all this flash bhundven's blastoff v2.5 kernel

https://github.com/bhundven/blastoff_kernel_samsung_galaxys4g/downloads

After you have that flashed, you can flash the aries rom you were having problems with. It's basicallly guaranteed to work.

Sorry it took a while to respond but I got my phone upland running again after losing Bsseband and IMEI with no backup.For those of you who want to fix your phone follow these instructions.

1). Use Heimdall One Click to go back to stock.

2) Use eloelle One Click to get root and CWM....

3) Flash CM9 to go from BLM to MTD safely...

4) Flash any good JB ROM of your choice (Optional).

BEFORE YOU BEGIN HAVE A CLEAN SD CARD INSTALLED AND YOUR SIM CARD OUT.

ALWAYS BACK UP AFTER EVERY FLASH AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE LETTER ON HOW TO FLASH EACH ROM TO ENSURE NO PROBLEMS.

Good Luck.....

Im a noob to this BMM, and very much so not a fan of it. But my issue came after flashing kexec PACman to system 1.

Had non kexec Paraniod Android on system 1, and non kexec PACman on system 3.

Wiped system 1 and flashed the new PAC, gapps, and the new JBX kernel. Went fine, booted up fine.

Went through the startup crap, and went to reboot to System 3 in an attempt to backup some stuff. BMM listed PA on system 3, but system,cache,data img's were all gone.

only thing I lost was my call log and texts which I backup whenever I update.

Trying to figure out what i did wrong for future reference, or if its just a bug. a very very large BS bug.
[Motorola Atrix 2] minhajlk:
BMM uses your data partition to store your system 3 - 6 ROMs in this folder /data/clockworkmod/vitual/. So when you wiped and flashed PAC on system 1 you delete your system 3 - 6 partitions on your /data/clockworkmod/virtual/. Now you need to re-create your partitions and flash your favorite ROMs on 3-6 system. By the way BMM is a cool recovery, just explore a little. Also there is a thread by Ravi on that.
