Trying to get back to as stock as possible with root! - Hero CDMA General

??????????

Roman G said:
Just like the title says I want to get back to stock with root! I want my phone to be fresh like from the factory.
I did an RUU about a month ago and since then I have not been able to do a dalvik wipe through recovery, I would like that back!
In the past 2 weeks I have done RUU at least 3 times and after a couple of days I seem to get riddled with FC's just stacking on top of each other, as it sits right now I am getting FC on market and VVM! This is all running 1.5 with like 2 apps installed, and there the same apps I have always downloaded since I have had my phone!
And also what is the fix for the stock 1.5 clock to read the correct time?
Anymore questions just ask
Thanks
Roman

If you rooted correctly you should have a nandroid backup of your 1.5 and should be able to do that. If not I would say RUU then re-root is the next best option for ya.

I am not gonna nandroid until I know its good! I have RUUed 3 times wtih the same results.
I guess my question is which RUU should I use to get my phone back to the day I bought it!
My most recent RUU still had the Flipz PRI auto fix and still no dalvik wipe, so I assume thats not considered stock!
Thanks

You'll want to re-provision your phone once you've RUU'd. Hope you got your MSL.

I have already done that, it was not really my issue was just trying to make a point that that was not stock!

you do know you can wipe dalvik thru adb right?

process com.android.vending has stopped unexpectedly

Im getting this error and force close on one of my Heros when I try installing any of my apps on any of the 2.1 roms. Im coming from Fresh 1.1 and following the same procedure I used on my other Hero on which the market is fully functional. Ive wiped everything over and over and cleared data on anything that looked like it at to do with the market. I also tried fix apk mismatches from recovery. Short of RUU which Id like to avoid if at all possible Ive tried everything else I can think of. In searching I have come across this error code on other android phones, but nothing on the hero and nothing specific to trying to install apps. So has anyone else seen this? And would RUU do anything a full data wipe didnt already?
Reading instructions has its benefits grasshopper...
Download the latest recovery and throw it onto your SD Card, boot into the old version of recovery and flash the new recovery as a .zip update, reboot into recovery again and then wipe your phone again, then install android 2.1, don't reboot yet, make sure your rom either has it's own custom kernal or download one for 2.1 and flash it, open up adb and clear dalvik cache and boot cache, then reboot your phone and you should load without any problems.
Thanks. But I did that from the get go. Aside from flashing a kernal, but Im running Darchtrev2 on the fully functional Hero that I mentioned and thats got a custum kernal built into the rom. So thats what I started with on the second one using the exact same process without success. Does wiping from adb do more than wiping from recovery? Thats one other thing I didnt do after the initial install.... But do understand you correctly that you have seen this specific error before?
Just bumpin the tread in hopes of finding a solution. I dont even mind gettin flamed for asking a stupid question if I could get linked up with a fix! lol I see its getting views, just no ideas I guess... It sucks cuz everything else works fine except the market. I get the list of my downloads, when I tap on one to install I the download button instead of the install button, so Ill tap on it and I get get the progress bar saying its downloading. When it gets to 100% I get the error and force close... Anyone?
I would try wiping again then flashing fresh 1.1 see if that boots and everything works ok then I would redownload the recovery and flash that still running fresh then reboot make sure everyhting is cool, then redownload whatever 2.1 rom you want and wipe and flash.
doing this serves 2 purposes
1. make sure that somewhere along the line none of the files corupted
2. if you still have the same problem then it will let you know where the problem is coming from.
just process of elimination
if you still have problems after that then I would say RUU, yes it is different than just wiping from recovery as it restores a completely stock image and gets rid of everything else. all a data wipe really does is get rid of user data.
just my opinion.
honestley thinnking about it I RUU'd my phone just for giggles then I re-rooted and then flashed DCv1 right from stock and I found that a lot of the little bugs that people where seeing I wasnt so it may not be a bad idea to ruu anyways.
Thanks for the reply and for giving me something different to try. I hadnt thought about trying that. Frustration I guess! It makes sense though. Ill give it shot. Thanks!
Why not see why it fc'd?
Adb with logcat of ...vending....
Find the syntax here: http://developer.android.com/search.html
Just an idea. It may or maynot give you the insight to fix the cause ( like a parameter ...vending... is null fetching on ).
Yeah, Ive been thinking about RUU'n too just to see if making a fresh start would make any difference, but after all the time I spent getting the one Hero working like I want on 2.1 and the troubles Ive had with the second and what Ive read about people bricking trying to RUU or flash recovery Ive been kinda hesitant....

Sometimes it's just fun to RUU and do everything again
Alright if you're still having problems then just follow these steps:
Boot into recovery and make a nandroid back up just in case something goes wrong.
Download the latest version of your current 2.1 rom and reflash it from Recovery.
Open up adb and mount the /data directory (adb shell, mount /data)
Enter the following two commands in adb: rm -r /data/boot-cache , rm -r /data/dalvik-cache
Go Back to ADB and type the following commands: cd /data/data/com.android.vending , rm -R cache
Fix UID Mismatches using the tool in Recovery and then reboot your phone

First, sorry for the bump.
I just started getting this error and wanted to know if you figured out exactly what it was so I didn't have to go through that whole RUUing process. Thanks.
don't know if this is your problem, but i know on sushi rom you have to go to manage applications, market, click on it and then click on uninstall updates.. Then apps. will download and install correctly.

But then i accidentally hit the camera button while tryin to remove it from the home screen, it poped up the camera, Said "Updating PRL", force closed like 4 programs, then rebotted it self. Since then, no service. Contacted sprint (Did'nt tell them it was rooted) but they did a few master resets, troubleshooting here and there. still nothing
note: did wipe/factory reset twice and reinstalled toast, didnt work
note: also wiped, then restored my nanoid back up. also didnt work
anyone know how to help me out? would prefer not to have to go to the sprint store then they find out its rooted >.>

Yeah man go ahead and ruu. Or flash fresh 2.0d first and see if that fixes it. His Rom includes a pri fix
sounds like a plan lol.

[Guide] Fool Proof and Simple FroYo 2.2 "Test ROM" Guide for Rooted Phones

Download files and place on SD card:
update-nexusone-FRF50-noradio-signed.zip from Modaco.com (May 24: noradio files added - should work fine for T-Mo & AT&T!)
froyo-rooter-signed.zip from Cyanogen
Titanium Backup -> Backup all user apps
Turn off phone -> Hold Volume Down, then Press Power button
Enter Recovery
Backup/Restore -> Nand backup
Wipe if you have a Sense UI ROM (no wipe needed coming from Cyanogen)
Flash update-nexusone-FRF50-signed.zip
Reboot, you'll get Android-falling-out-of-box
It will reboot into Recovery, select Reboot again
It should boot into 2.2, yay!
You should still have root, but if you want BusyBox (or lost root somehow), Cyanogen has done it again! Go back into Recovery and flash froyo-rooter-signed.zip. Then Titanium Backup will work once again.

so when updating to froyo does rooted nexus one becomes just like the stock one, means do we need to root it again to install custom Rom
Thank you. This is awesome and super easy to execute. Thanks again.
Nice! thanks for the write up.
one thing that confuses me though, i have rooted my phone but have the stock rom (nadroid from cyanogen 506), will i be able to get the OTA when it rolls for the ATT version? Or only manual update for me?
thanks.
Everything works, great post by paul as usual
I followed these steps (was running Cyanogen 5.0.6) and it works perfectly. I have the AT&T/Rogers version. I didn't wipe and all my apps/settings are intact!

I just rooted my N1 for the first time

OK, congratulate me!! Thanks. I did it on the first try, no issue or hiccups what-so-ever.
Now for the info. I'm not sure that anyone will be interested, but I'm guessing other people in my position at least might be.
I'm very experienced with computers, but not working directly with rooting/unlocking devices. But I would say anyone who reads up a bit and can follow directions properly could pull it off pretty easily.
So I run 2.2.2, and I used superoneclick 1.6.3.
After opening superoneclick, I switched it from psneuter to rageagainsthecage. I had no idea if I was supposed to do this, but I read all about rageagainstthecage, and never heard of psneuter.
I had my phone connected to my PC, and I left my SD in the phone, but I unmounted it in settings. I have used ADB before, so I knew the drivers were installed and working, and I hit the button root.
After reading this site, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682, I started with debugging off, and turned it on as it said. I then turned it off, but didn't get a chance to turn it back on and off and on, so I just turned it back on (debugging) when it got to "Waiting for device" for the second time.
That was it! It asked to test and see if root was in fact accomplished, and it was. I then installed setCPU (which is basically the only reason I wanted to do this) and as far as I can tell it seems to be working fine.
I have been reading a lot about this for the past few days, but the actual procedure only took a couple of minutes. Keeping in mind, of course, that I already had ADB and drivers working.
Nothing was wiped off my phone, which surprisingly was hard to confirm on the web. I did read somewhere that only unlocking wipes data, but still, you never know.
I hope this helps anyone else who is new and unsure of the process, and I'd be happy to answer any other specific questions based on what I have learned of the last week or so. I know that people hesitate to ask questions in case they have already been asked lots of times, but are buried and hard to find (because that's the position I was in ).
Thanks for posting your "rooting" experience. I'm sure there are people that will find it helpful.
I think when I did mine, it was something along the lines of:
fastboot-oem-unlock
fastboot flash recovery <whatever>
reboot into recovery and flash rom
Other than the ability to install custom ROM's I've yet to see a huge deal in rooting my phone. Anyone care to tell me what I can do with a rooted N1 that is a must have? So far I tried to change some fonts, which didn't work, and discovered that I have to install a custom ROM to change the color of the notification bar, and I can't make the default Google music and news widgets slightly transparent. So educate me, what's the huge deal with rooting, aside from a custom ROM?
Set cpu of course like being said. I remember the first time I rooted my phone was universal androot it was a breeze. Then I lost root and use super one click to gain out back. Root really easy as well

Hi N1 owners.
I also just root my N1 with superoneclick 1.6.3
After that I flashed CM 6.1.1 and yesterday I tried CM7. Everything has worked fine for me so far, but I have some questions, I hope someone can answer.
1/Can I just flash random roms on top of each other, like i did from cm6 - cm7?
2/ Can I always restore backups, nomatter what rom I come from or to?
3/ when/if official GB come out, can I flash a stock rom and get the OTA update right away?
Sorry, if I ask silly questions ..
Built in trackball colors, call blocker, hide frequently called list in the favorites tab, remove unnecessary apps, tmobile wifi calling, notification bar power toggles, trackball wake and unlock, quiet hours, themes, etc., etc., etc. Just off the top of my head. Oh, and Gingerbread!!!

Unlocking the Bootloader wipes data, rooting does not. This is probably what you read.

1/Can I just flash random roms on top of each other, like i did from cm6 - cm7? Yes you can. Often if the ROM is the next version in a series, you can flash without wiping data or cache, but some ROMs require you to do this first.
2/ Can I always restore backups, nomatter what rom I come from or to? A Nandroid backup can be reinstalled from any ROM, or even just from Recovery if there is no ROM.
3/ when/if official GB come out, can I flash a stock rom and get the OTA update right away? Yes. Either restore your stock ROM Nandroid backup or a passimg.zip.

1. As a rule, if you are going from 1 ROM to another totally different ROM, it's always a good idea to wipe. It only takes a few seconds to sign back in to everything. You can bypass immediate sign in and activate wifi if you need it.
2. Nandroids can be reinstalled anytime. However, a nandroid does not contain your HBOOT and Radio. So if you updated those to use a specific ROM, they would stay in place with the nandroid restore.
3. When GB does finally make it out to our specific device, there is no way you would get an OTA before the ROM devs here had you up and running.
***Also note, the 1-click root tools may or may not work right away with the OTA 2.3. So to anyone that rooted using those tools and unrooted to hurry up and get an OTA, you may be stuck on stock until it gets fixed.

So what do you lose (if anything) when flashing a new ROM if you backup and do things the right way?
Another question would be if you just flash a new kernal do you lose any/all data?

I've rooted before, and lost root when ota's came. I've rooted again using superoneclick, and am contemplating cm7. But I feel very cautious about flashing a different rom, I'd cry if I bricked my phone. However, I'm probably going to do it during the next week (unless gingerbread ota arrives).

Hmmm, I have been anxious for GB too.... but I'm not sure it's worth it. I don't think it's such a big update. I don't think there's too much of a danger of brinking these days.
I have been contemplating doing what I have to to overclock, see what kind of a difference that makes...

[Q] Mytouch 4G Gingerbread root and unbrick

Hey guys, about a week or two ago, I went to a T-Mobile store to upgrade to 2.3.4. I have been looking into rooting and loading CM7, but im not sure how to do it and what is the best way. I was thinking about doing it with ADB, but im just too chicken to try it. I can't afford to break this phone, so i have to be really careful. If you have any other better ideas as to how I could root 2.3.4, that would be awesome. Also, if you have found any way to unbrick it if it gets bricked somehow in the process, that would be great too. I am an experienced hacker, and am working on starting to develop apps for Android and Apple. Thanks guys, I really need your help.
There is no root for 2.3.4 yet

Then you can count your chances again, or post here about how you and some others missed the obvious.

Just want to note that that guide is not the solution for all Gingerglaciers. Some devices (mine included) cannot make it past the first step due to 'permission denied'.
Who else is in the waiting line for rootage?

I am. I'm not well versed enough to do the downgrade-via-ADB thing. All I want to do is temproot, freeze the bloatware on the stock 2.3.4. I'm not interested in flashing a ROM or having permanent root. From what I understand, this isn't possible without downgrading.

No, it isn't possible. You have to downgrade and install pre-rooted 2.3.4.
It's not really that hard. You could start by trying to set up ADB, and if you get a working environment - you'll know that you're good to go with the guide.
Sorry to raise a dead thread, but I was just wondering if anyone had come across a 2.3.4 root method. I am trying to root my fiancee's device and seem to be getting nowhere.
Apologies also if this has already been addressed.
Thanks guys =]
The rooting method for 2.3.4 involves downgrading to 2.2.1. That's the way it has been, that's most probably the way it'll stay, for a long time, possibly indefinitely.
how to unbrick t-mobile htc mytouch 4g glacier
guys, i successfully rooted my friend's htc glacier mytouch 4g.i noticed dat the backup failed.then i tried flashing this ROM cm-10.1-20130710-Albinoman887-glacier.zip, it was successfully installed.i now clicked on reboot it just got stock on flash screen.i tried factory reset. but any time i clicked on it it takes me back to recovery mode.please help me.my friend is about to turn me to his enemy.
take out your battery, then out it back in
Hold the volume down button and the power button, select recovery (use the volume keys)
Then when your in there, do a factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik (if your using cwm then go to advanced then wipe dalvik)
Then re-flash the rom.

lol you wanna go back to stock?
Ok then, well look around for the PD15IMG.zip for 2.3.4 then put it on your sd card at the root, and then go into bootloader again.

Hey guys, about a week or two ago, I went to a T-Mobile store to upgrade to 2.3.4. I have been looking into rooting and loading CM7, but im not sure how to do it and what is the best way. I was thinking about doing it with ADB, but im just too chicken to try it. I can't afford to break this phone, so i have to be really careful. If you have any other better ideas as to how I could root 2.3.4, that would be awesome. Also, if you have found any way to unbrick it if it gets bricked somehow in the process, that would be great too. I am an experienced hacker, and am working on starting to develop apps for Android and Apple. Thanks guys, I really need your help.

Rooting is easy and safe i rooted mine last week and i don't brick my baby... Just take a giant step to follow the information carefully and read the pdf it helped me too.. And adb is easy to use just takes time.
