[Verizon HTC One (M7)] SynisterWolf:
nope, unlock is unlock no matter how we got it. if the bootloader says UNLOCKED on the top it good to go. you can turn the phone back to s-on if you like and flash everything rom related inside recovery. you would need to extract the boot.img and flash with fastboot. with s-on you wont be able to update firmwares, radios, splash screens, ect. even if it is an update to what you have because with s-on it looks for HTC signature, if it returns as null it wont apply.

with s-on, you cant ruu unless its an incremental updated ie. if you are version B but want to go to A you cant. Also if version B is acting up and want to ruu, you cant just ruu to version B you would need to wait for version C.

there really isnt a need to S-on unless you want to return it back to VZW. As long as you are careful on what you flash you shouldn't need to worry about bricks. Just check MD5 sums when flashing roms or kernels and you will be good to go.

EDIT:

i would also like to add, the new sunshine S-off app was updated to 2.0 to gain s-off on the newest firmware. if you do decide to go back to s-on but keep unlocked bootloader you can. but you will have to pay $25 for the s-off license key within the sunshine app.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ccarr313:
IMO, unless you are sending your phone in for warranty service, there is no reason to ever put it back to s-on. You are just limiting your options as to what you can do with it.

Edit - this phone is very hard to actually brick also.........most problems I have seen have been people putting themselves back to s-on, THEN ****ing something up, and not being able to RUU because they went back. heh
[HTC One Mini] AdamDowning:
Hey Guys

Rooted and installed a custom recovery on my One Mini M4, Vodafone, but wanting to go back to stock due to some apps detecting root and not working, and also because SuperSU binary will not update. I'm not s-off or anything like that.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Unsure as to what to do -_-

Have a good un,

Adam

Hi

I need the bootloader output I have some stock recoverys in my

dropbox.

Have you tried to use the unroot option in SuperSU.?
[HTC One Mini] apjashley:
There's a nandroid backup here that'll get you back to stock (but it's an earlier version). You may need to change your CID to achieve full stock, I couldn't update from the nandroid until I'd done that.

Hello Xda community,

Alright after exhausting all other options i have decided to turn to our community in hopes that i can come to some sort of resolution for this matter. Okay i own a Sophix Tab-840g past warranty my problem is my software was causing freeze and reboots i left it that way for a while because it wasn't bothering me. So i waited long enough for them to make a new firmware and i upgraded, however upon doing so i was not able to use the touchscreen. Also, i have no back up...... was a bad move in retrospect. I did some research and found that that the freezing was due to the actual firmware and many people had tried to update running into the same situation where the touchscreen stopped working.

The only difference between when i did it and when they did it is the company had there older firmware available still. That is no longer that case they only have the new firmware and after calling they no longer have old software available. Other people reverted back and atleast there tablet worked, however I CANNOT get the old firmware ANYWHERE........in there guide they talk of the use of update "update-tab840-v02-20130315.img" when using there batch program. The only firmware available is the new one “upgrade-tab840-v03-20130607" i'm looking for the older update "update-tab840-v02-20130315.img" to fix my tablet or a way to fix this touchscreen hard reset is out of the option i have already done this method a couple times, i tried installing from sd, and from the computer all with the same error. Thank you so much for reading this and also for any help i procure. I will be uploading the version of my firmware i have no and the old one if i get it so this can the fix for this dreaded problem with so few forums talking of a fix.

Thank you,

Captainsploof

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slashkun:
Hey guys,

I keep trying to get PA to work on my phone and every time i install TWRP i get a new issue. Can anyone help me get back to stock so i can go back to CWM and CM11 which seems to be so much better on the G2?

My issue is that after managing to restore the stock OS using download mode i rooted and flashed TWRP, now when i restarted into TWRP i cant seem to get back to the OS. I did do a backup before playing around but it seems i can restore everything apart form data but even then it does not boot it just goes to a blank screen after the LG logo and the notification light is on but nothing else. Download mode is not working it just has the loading download mode icon and that's it.

I managed to push PA and gapps to my phone using adb push and stupidly decided to try that without pushing some back up roms and now after wiping and trying to install PA and gapps anything further i try to push now tells me its read-only through adb, i have tried doing adb remount and that does not work.

When i try to install PA and Gapps they seem to work but when i restart i am just stuck on the LG boot screen.

Please can you help i really have no idea what do to and i have googled around without much help.

My phone is LG G2 int 32gb

Thanks!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender_007:
You should try to wipe all but internal storage. Then try to restore.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slashkun:
Could you please elaborate a bit more? Im new to TWRP and dont know the options by the prompts i get are: Factory reset / Advanced Wipe / Format Data.

I was just worried that i might wipe too much so have always gone with factory reset on TWRP as it says on their site that should be enough:

teamw.in/whattowipe

Should i do an advanced wipe and try again?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender_007:
Everything but internal. Pictures and your rom etc are on internal :). Yes. Factory reset, too. Other options are in advanced wipe
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lawlrus:
Go to advanced and select everything except internal.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slashkun:
Hey thanks for the help, I have done the advanced wipe and attempted a restore however the data part still fails. I tried to push stuff using ADB again and it is either coming up with a protocol failure and the phone is restarting or it still says read-only file system.

Any other options available? Also what was the advanced wipe supposed to achieve in comparison to the normal one? (just asking as I'm interested in learning about the whole process)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender_007:
hmm..can you enter twrp ? Just install a new one.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slashkun:
Hey,

I'm in TWRP and that works but what do you mean by install a new one, the only Rom option i have is the PA rom i put on the phone that does not seem to do anything and the backup i had that again does not seem to do anything :(
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender_007:
Twrp 2.7? Wipe all except internal. Factory reset, too. Try downloading some other rom and push it via adb.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slashkun:
Yup its 2.7. Should i wipe then try adb push without restoring? (ill have to wait and give it a go on my lunch break) and i have CM11 to install which i have been trying to push using adb but i either get protocol failure and the phone is restarting or it still says read-only file system. Do you think just wiping all except internal and doing a factory reset will help me get past the whole read only file system issue?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender_007:
lets say adb is in c:\adb

start, cmd (you run the cmd)

cd c:\adb

(copy your rom also somewhere with short path, let's say c:\adb\rom.zip)

adb push rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip

or

adb push c:\adb\rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip

adb sideload doesn't have to be enabled
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slashkun:
Thanks for your continued assistance, however its still showing up as as a read only file system in cmd and thus it cannot copy. Do you have any other ideas? I have tried adb remount and it is still coming up with the read only error :(
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wulsic:
The only thing i can think of is to use an microsdreader like meenova and put a rom on the microsd and put it in your phone but i dont know or your twrp supports otg.

Thanks so much for taking the time out to help me, this is way above my comfort zone :(

I have an OTG cable and it is there as an option under TWRP and i tried putting the roms on my 32gb stick and plugged it into the phone using the OTG cable however when i clicked mount OTG it just stalled for a bit and the option was never ticked, also looking through file manager when the cable was connected i did not see anything or the blue light on my usb stick illuminate. If i was doing it wrong please let me know though :D

[MENTION=460765]usb[/MENTION] - try formatting it through windows once again. I've also had some issues with my usb stick.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slashkun:
Just thought i would throw out and update to see if it helps you guys troubleshoot.

After doing an advanced wipe when i use the power off through TWRP it mentioned that i have no SU installed and asks me if i wish to install it. I click yes and it does something quickly then my phone restarts (so not sure if it worked or not) however every time i try and do and adb push to my device now it just comes up with protocol failure and restarts the phone. Just to note when i do a restore to the non-working backup i have when i try and turn it off using that it does not prompt that i do not have SU.

So i hope this helps in some way, nut sure if getting these protocol failure errors is better then the read only errors i was getting but the fact that it keeps restarting my phone does not seem promising when i do this.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wulsic:
Well i guess you now have SU but the best thing to do is try to update the SU.

Try to Enable Usb debugging if it wasn't on yet. (I never had your error)

And also try to execute this when pushing a rom:

adb /kill-server
adb usb
adb push (romname) /sdcard

Or

adb push (romname) /storage/sdcard0

I don't know really about the last part anymore with adb pushing or these sdcard locations I said are right. The last time I used it was when i still had my phone :/

I hope this could fix your problem when you maybe accidently formatted your internal storage. If my sdcard locations aren't right could you correct me then? so people who also have this issue can fix it easily.

Thankyou
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceomaverick:
I am having WiFi issues with current JellyBean Samsung Official firmware. I tried every trick to get the WiFi back without success.

I guess my ROM must be corrupt. Hence I downloaded same official 4.3 JellyBean Android firmware and flashed it with ODIN.

To my surprise, nothing changed on the system except for the root access.

All files were intact: downloads, wallpapers, nova launcher, icon setting, etc.

How is that possible? Shouldn't ODIN clean install the ROM ~ leaving nothing behind.

I am greatly puzzled. I want all the system files as they were on the day one of the device.

Kindly advice a solution.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torecdude:
Hello XDA,

Im using CWM modded custom recovery. Restoring my backup made my phone bootloop and eventually i had to factory reset my phone and start all over.

So im looking for the best way to backup my entire phone as is (Homescreen with folders widgets, settings, all apps and its data...everthing).

I searched in the forum for a couple of methods but im not sure... i have titanium backup pro, does creating update.zip and restoring from recovery do the same work? what about adb backup?

I need a method that can backup and restore just as CWM did for me.

Help would be much appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
TiBu is as good as it gets for backing up data, but nothing but a custom recovery or onandroid (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.onnandbup&hl=en) can do an actual boot/system/data backup. You also might try a different version of CWM or see if they have a fully functional version of TWRP, Make a backup before restoring stuff and test to see if it's working before relying on it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torecdude:
This app is awesome for it self. But im having more trouble restoring then backing up. Are you familiar with other methods of restoring nandroid backups? perhaps not from cwm recovery but apps/module as you posted for backup?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Only way to restore is via recovery. The update.zip for TiBu will restore apps then will restore the data after you reboot.

---------- Post added at 11:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 PM ----------

Been awhile since I've looked at the Atrix forums. Thinking part of the issues might be because of the big system hack to run CM11. Mybe th recovery you have doesn't support it correctly? Doesn't seem to have the newer TWRP versions so doubtful you can install KK roms with it.

http://xdaforums.com/atrix-4g/development/rom-cm-11-android-4-4-4-atrix-bigpart-t2847281

My wife has a pda2k that the phone quit working on, the pda functions are fine. I was able to upgrade the rom and ext rom but when I try to upgrade the radio it always fails. I have been all over this site and the web nothing has worked to flash the radio. When the flash progarm runs I can see the rom and ext rom versions but nothing is displayed for the radio. I have tried all versions of the roms I have found. Always the same the radio fails, I had to remove the radio rom from the dir. to get the others to update, I then tried the radio alone several times, several different waysand it always fails with various errors.
