if you could email me that back up it would be greatly appreciated! Do I just use custom recovery to install that then manually flash the stock recovery?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danl94:
Still looking for help here!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stovie_steve:
Hi danl94

I'm having the exact same issue as you mate. I need to also revert back to stock. Can you post a link for the nandroid upload if you receive it? I would be entirely grateful for your help!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swanseatom:
Sorry guys for the delay,

Here is the 4.1.2 backup, It was provided to me by Gandalf Greyhelm but in the spirit of XDA and helping ppl get back to stock im sure he wont mind it being passed on i will pop a PM over to him shortly.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/93927975/4.1.2 1.44 O2_001.zip

If you are on hboot 1.54 you will need to restore in CWM > manually flash recovery from the nandroid.

Then use a usb otg cable and mouse to accept the ota as the touchscreen wont work.

I've been lazy in backing up my phone >pulling the backup > wiping phone> making clean backup of 4.2.2 > uploading > restoring.

I'll try and get it done a bit later tonight.

If you have the OTG cable the 4.1.2 backup > OTA is very effective worked great for me.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danl94:
hi unfortunately I don't own an otg cable so how do I go about doing this, it seems straightforward i just don't have one of those cables :(
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uronfire:
is there any way of backing up stock recovery on 2.24.206.7 hboot 1.54

i dont want to lose stock recovery as i cant find it anywhere
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danl94:
For this do I relock the bootloader before or after?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cauldron-Born:
Hi guys :) thanks for the link have been searching for an 02___001 rom/backup for ages :) however..... (lol) im having loads of problems flashing/updating this have tried several different methods, i either get a 'can't flash bios' error or a 'can't open /dev/tty0: No such file or directory' could you tell me is this from an O2 UK HTC One V phone? if so, please... what am i doing wrong, i just want my phone back (sob) lol :) many thanks for any help :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uronfire:
After you flash the backup and stock recovery that's inside the backup
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danl94:
Really sorry for bugging ya haha but inside that zip file I downloaded above there is a recovery.img do I take that out then flash the nandroid or leave it in? A short guide would be appreciated!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danl94:
Right is this what I do?

Restore the nandroid backup...

Then flash boot.img...

Then flash recovery.img...

Or do I just flash the recovery without the boot? Remembering I'm on 1.54, Ive bought an otg cable so that bit is solved, just this last bit :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uronfire:
I think its just the recovery you need to flash .

I'm not sure about the hboot maybe the guy who posted the link could you help you better .
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
boot.img is past of the nandroid so should't need to flash it

This works 100%. Only need a otg cable and a mouse to accept the ota.

I didn't even relock the bootloader
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stovie_steve:
What is the status of your bootloader after the OTA just out of curiosity?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uronfire:
Tampered

Unlocked

S on.

Only way to get tampered away is to get s off.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyker88:
Have u a last backup for m7 o2? Have everyone made a nandroid backup with 2.24.206.1 or 2.24.206.7 version??

THX in advance :))
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guywithdesire1992:
Huge thanks to Swanseatom for uploading the O2__001 Nandroid backup.

What's the correct process to do this then?

I have S-OFF so ability to use revone to make my bootloader appeared LOCKED rather than RELOCKED and tampered to disappear.

So I'm guessing.

Wipe phone.

Remove tampered.

Lock bootloader.

Revert to S-ON.

Restore backup.

Use OTG cable to update to newest OTA.

Flash Recovery.

Will this update my HBOOT version also?

Is that in the right order? Any help would be appreciated. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nextNME:
Follow original thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2380325

First I’d like to thank everyone for all their work so far with the Verizon S4 rooting and modding. I wouldn’t be writing this if I didn’t have so much info online already. I’m standing on the shoulders of giants. Hehehe.

Here is what I ended up doing:

1) To start, download all these (ODIN, Recovery.pit File, VZWS4 root .zip, SafeStrap.apk, ME7 modules):

http://ge.tt/3ywGajs?c

2) And Stock S4 recovery .tar.MD5 here (if you need to reflash back to stock, or to unbrick)

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8owp4iT4wQnUFdVaGp4czFmWUE&usp=sharing

3) Install Android Terminal Emulator on your phone:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en

4) Format your SD card to exFAT using your computer.

5) Extract the RootForVZWS4.zip to your SDcard (DO NOT put it in any other folders, it must be extracted on the SD top level). Then put the SDcard back into the phone.

6) Enable Developer Mode on your phone.

7) Check USB debugging in Developer Options.

8) Allow Unknown Sources under Security.

9) Open terminal emulator and type exactly what is shown:

cd /mnt/extSdCard <-Note: there is a space after cd

./pwn

./script.sh

If you’re like me, even though you may see “Permission Denied” in a few lines, your phone is rooted. This is OK. You're rooted when you see the " $ " turn into a " # "

10) Install SafeStrap.apk from your SDcard to get the bootloader.

11) Run SafeStrap from your Apps Drawer, then choose Install Recovery (this will allow you to boot up and enter SafeStrap where you can back up your stock ROM, and install custom ROMs from your SDcard).

12) Restart and you should see a new Boot Screen – hit menu to enter Recovery

13) Backup your phone! Save to SD card!

14) Add custom ROMs to your SDcard and flash them with SafeStrap

15) Flash ME7 modules.zip

16) Wipe cache and dalvik

17) Fix permissions

18) Reboot and enjoy :)

*****If you brick your phone, or want to go back to stock*****

1) Enter/boot to ODIN mode (phone NOT connected to computer).

2) Plug your phone into your computer.

3) Open ODINv3.07.

4) Make sure ODIN finds your phone (Top left box will be blue with your phone ID).

5) Click the big PIT button, and find the “SCH-I545.pit” file you downloaded earlier to your computer.

6) Click the big PDA button, and find the .tar.md5 file you downloaded earlier to your computer.

7) When ODIN has finished checking the files, hit START. Wait a long time, then when your phone reboots, and the program says PASS in green, you’re back to stock.

Please let me know if any links don’t work. Hopefully you all can follow this long post.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kenkamm:
What is the .pit file for? I have never used this when using Odin to restore to stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nextNME:
Hmm. I guess I've never not used it. I just know when I did, it worked... hahaha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kenkamm:
Fair enough, hehe.

Do you have a link to some instruction on using that .pit file?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nextNME:
Sorry, I dont :(

To flash back to stock....

Click the big "PIT" button, and browse for the "SCH-I545.pit" file

Click the big "PDA" button, and browse for the "COMBINATION.....tar.md5" file

ODIN will think for a minute.... then when the message reads <OSM> Leave CS... hit start
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nextNME:
I should probably add that this ODIN flash will remove ROOT and SafeStrap too. The phone will be back to complete 100% Samsung/Verizon stock.

In SafeStrap, I've also wiped the Stock Rom slot, and installed Scotts Clean Rom there.... and it worked (Clean Rom v.1.6.0, Clean Rom Patch v.1.6.5, ME7-modules, Fix Permissions, wipe cache/dalvik)

Disable Service app helps to disable services running in background! (Root access needed)

You can install this app on any device running Android version 2.2 or higher. When opening app you can see a screen displaying all the services running and not running. You can see two tabs General Apps the one installed by user and System Apps that are used by System Applications.

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

Download (Google Play)

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

1 disabled.

1 running currently.

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

Any General Apps service is safe to disable except most part of Google Play Services, but they can make apps inactive so u will have to enable services for each app to work properly when u are going to use them.

General Apps Services safe to disable: (Google Play Services)

Google Play Services

-AnalyticaService(by disabling this one u won t be able to log in your gmail or youtube account)

-GmcService

-NlpLocationRecieverService

-GoogleLocationManagerService

System services safe to disable:

Google Play Store

-PendingNotificationsServices

-ContentSyncService

-DailyHygiene

Google Services Framework

-GTalkService

Keypad

-BluetoothHeadsetService

-SupplementaryNetworkService

Maps

-PrefetcherService

Network Location

-NetworkLocationService

-NetworkLocationService

Unsupported Headset Notifier

-UnsupportedHeadsetNotifier

These services are safe to disable, for example Google Play Stores 3 disabled services won't affect Play Store to work properly, u can still download and install apps. This helps to save some RAM.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kherio:
great one!

I have just discover that app and it looks great.

I'll give it a try and check to disable some services... :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] banciii:
GTalkService

If I disable GTalkService or GTalkServiceProxy, the network sync brakes. (The blue indicators of the network (wifi/mobile_data) in the status bar becaomes grey, which means I don't get most of the notifications, like new FB Messenger message or Foursquare check-in etc.) I thought this services are related to Google Talk (Hangouts), so I can disable it safely, but it looks like it is not that case. :( :P Btw. I disabled almost all the active 'Google Play Services' services and so far, so good, everything works. I am using wifi networks or mobile data for location (eg. in Maps, Foursquare etv.), so I guess I should not disable the other suggested services. :P
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Toon10:
You should also consider to try Greenify, it does the same job and works great
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] banciii:
Yeah, I know Greenify, I am using the donated version for some months now already, but Greenify can't keep every app hibernated. Other apps can wake hibernated apps up, which I know can be cut, but for example in Google Play Services, there are some servies which could be cut off because it is not needed for me, but on the other hand, there are some services which needed for location and as far as I know, Greenify can't distinguish in the app's services, it handles only the whole app, so I guess when another app wakes Play Servies app up, every services start to run in the background which means more RAM use too. :P
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mystique:
So I have found

CampaignTrackingService

to be safe to disable..

and GcmIntentService

not to be safe to disable..

Both exist randomly in user and system apps..

how to re-enable with adb in case of bootloop ?

Hello, I tried this app to disable some location related services, but my device freezed and now I experience a bootloop. I have no recovery (no cwm on my device) and I would like to know if there's a way to re-enable disabled services with adb (as I have adb access) ?...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
abd access how, in CWM or system?

Nevermind that, do you have root access(su) in adb?

If you can tell me which services you have disabled
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] seb3773:
Yes, I have root access in adb, (stuck on android bootanimation , but adb is working). I'm at work now, but I will tell you what services I disabled when I'm home. (it was 2/3 location related services). I'm on ICS by the way, maybe this application is not designed to work with this version of android ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
But you must have root access, run su in adb shell see if its working

The app just runs android package manager to enable/disable services should be a problem with any verion of android.

Also if you have adb, it might help if you take logcat since reboot.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zxcasd:

Billingservice in some app like Go SMS can be disabled too..

it's better for you to check what apps are running in background >80% of total time and analyze what service it use

then decide whether it is important or not,,

LatinIME service in android keyboard is not safe to disable..

Any other services causing wicked wakelocks and are they disablable? Is that a real word?lol
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] marknoll:
What's the difference in blue fonts of the words?. Noticed that in services.. I know what the colored numbers mean..but what about the words? Thanks.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ubuntujason:
doesn't the words in blue mean that the service is "running" [currently running] ... i think so, I think red means disabled, blue means running, white means it exists

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] marknoll:
Idk. But seems logical. Lol. Thanks.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] daniu:
Hi

I think backup is somewhat hidden - would not have expected it behind the about button ...

Another question: so far I had been disabling the following wakelocks with wakelock terminator:

***

NetworkLocationLocator

NlpCollectorWakeLock

Checkin Service

NlpWakeLock

EntriesRefresh_wakelock

SystemUpdateService

ConnectivityService

GCM_RECONNECT

***

(not sure if the last one does have any effect ...)

Would it make more sense to just disable the service with disable service or do I need some of the apps behind those wakelocks?

Is there a comprehensive list about which google service is doing what - I mean: besides draining my battery ... it seems there are lots of places where ppl. talk about which services THEY disabled but in the end you need to find out which parts of google THIS PPL don't use - e. g. I do use maps and need GPS once in a while ...

Regards
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ocd_amp:
There is a an app called Disable Service. Get that app.

Second. Check in your running services, specially in Google services, what is running.

For example, I found that disabling InAppBillingService saved about 25 megabytes of Ram, That is a big deal if you are using Gingerbread phone with 300mb of RAM.

Check carefully and also read about which service does what.

I would not follow the original post as it is not entirely accurate. Disabling Analytics service does NOT Stop me from logging into my Gmail account.

OP information is inaccurate.

Google Services have gone out of control. Google manufactures MASSIVE bloatware and does not clean up well after itself.

Is there a full log of things safe to disable available anywhere??

ETA: Google play services, are:

-AnalyticsService

-DeviceConnectionServiceBroker

-GcmService

-GoogleHttpService

-PlayLogBrokerService

Needed???

these open when i open handcent with wifi and data both off. So what the heck is it doing???

If I can ditch these let me know.

I have google play services greenified, but it seems as soon as i open any app whatsoever, these services reappear.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] marknoll:
I just installed greenify with xposed. Then installed tasker and set up a screen time out to greenify it. Works wonders.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ubuntujason:
AnayticsService - Yes [I have it disabled with no known issues]

GCM - * Stands for Google Cloud Message Service, it essentially allows 'push messages' for google and some other programs. I kept it 'enabled' but used Greenify to hibernate any app that uses GCM so I can still get the messages [If you have the paid version of Greenify, you can have it show which apps use GCM and hibernate them without loosing notifications]

I also have Play Log disabled with no known issues

The other two, I dunno...

hope it helps!

Love this program :)

~J
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pawprints1986:
I will have to check out tasker. Would be awesome not having to manually hibernate everytime i do anything whatsoever on my phone (outside of the settings menu).

the only google thing i still have and havent (because i cant) greenify is the play store. but things like my messenger handcent, i dont understand why google services are needed/unhibernate for that.

Ive been scared to try the paid version of greenify due to the xposed framework. I dont fully understand what framework is and i dont want to mess up or start my phone from scratch. it sounds kind of like formatting a hard drive or something...
