Long story short I bricked my phone going from nero5 to bionix, I odined back to stock but couldn't get into the green clockwork recovery, I must have rebooted over 40 times. I also noticed after I used odin, all of my pictures and music was still left on the phone along with update.zip and bionix file, I don't know if that matters or not. So far I updated to 2.2 via kies, but I'm not feeling the stock froyo. I remember I had issues getting the green recovery when first using 2.1 but I now I'm completely buggered : ( .
Might have to reinstall packages a couple of times in 2e recovery, but as long as you left the update.zip you should be ok. If not, you may need to grab the original update.zip and re flash it after you delete the old one
Yes...... what mcghee said .......... or..... just do oneclick root it will over write the update folder.
Im sure all the info is here already but im pretty nervous about bricking my phone. I'm on 1.2.6 but it kept asking me to update over and over and i would hit no but it popped up at the wrong time and i hit yes and it rebooted the phone and tried to do it. I pulled the battery out to stop it and booted it back up but now in my notifications it says next time i connect to wifi it will install 4.1.57. So my question is do i have to flash back to a stock rom (im on the gingurblur rom) before i can run the update. Also i used aroot to root the phone so since i already rooted if i flash back to stock rom and update to 4.1.57 ill retain root?

In order to update you will need to flash 4.1.26 if you don't then while trying to install the update it will fail. Once you update you will lose root and you will lose gingerblur as there isn't one for 1.57 right not. But you can keep root if you follow these instructions. Hope this helps.

PS. None of this will brick your phone just read all instructions and you'll be alright.

Since I installed Aura 1.2.1.0 on my phone the power button has been getting really hot. I just installed Homebase v5 and its still the same thing. So im thinking its not the rom. Any ideas?
That's odd. The bottom of my phone gets hot, but not the power button. If you're on att or even if youre not, I suggest trying to get a warranty replacement.

someone here said they fixed it by doing a factory reset; i suggest wiping EVERYTHING through fastboot, then clearing data/cache/dalvik in CWM and then reinstalling a stock ROM (fruitcake for example)
I did a clear data, cache, and dalvik wipe. What would be the difference in doing a fastboot wipe?
replace it
replace it b4 your warranty is out. my power button failed. and to many of these scripts require the power button to select options
Odd this happened to a homebase mega build I set my old man up with just last week did a back factory wipe then restored data and no problems so far, I though he left it in the car or sun or something when he said it was the finger print/power button. Even sat down and checked it out couldn't reproduce the problem or guess what happened no fp profile was even set active so. As mentioned above when in doubt replace they just upped the insure deductable x.x the 1st of this month
I got this once
removed the battery and reboot the device .. problem solved
I've rebooted, pulled the battery, got it working off the power cable (doesn't get hot then). Theres a warrant service place by work so ill revert it back to stock and just get it replaced.
I've had random moments when the phone felt like it was heating up towards the bottom, especially using the HKTW 2.3.4 build, but never on the power switch. I'd suggest just get a warranty exchange to be on the safe side. Better replace it now than when your warranty is over.
I know im gonna get flamed but how do I go back to the stock rom? Do I flash fruitycakes or sbf? I've read the threads on reverting back but their didn't seem to be any consistency.

fruit cake is the safest way to go back to stock. you can also flash the 2.3.4 gingerbread sbf file with rsd lite, but do NOT attempt to flash back to Froyo if you ever did the Gingerbread OTA update. if you're not sure, then just be safe and never revert back to Froyo.
flashing the gingerbread sbf file with remove your unlocked text on bootloader and revert you to a pure stock state.
So I took it to the warranty repair center and they replaced it no problem. Said shes seen it happen a few times already.
Alright, I have had my Bravo since January, rooted and flashed the BravoX RC2 rom along with a theme. During the summer, my wife was eligible for her upgrade, so we decided for me to upgrade to the Atrix on the condition that she was able to get the Bravo.
The phone has always had some freezing issues since updating to 2.2, but I think lately she has been getting very annoyed with this.
I would like to return the phone completely to stock, but due to the time since I last worked on it I'm a little unsure on how to go about it.
I wasn't expecting to get the upgrade when I did, and it was time sensitive so I didn't have time to remove my modifications to the Bravo before I gave it to her as I was planning, but a factory reset had removed all of BandroidX's apps, but left root access, the rom, and theme.
So, I know I will need to flash the 2.2 SBF to the phone in order to reset it completely to stock.
Because the phone currently is rom'ed and themed, do I need to first try to reset the phone using the BravoX bootstrap recovery?
Or does flashing the SBF completely overwrite everything that I've done with the phone erasing the rom, icon theming, and will it remove root access?
If you flash the sbf your phone will be completely stock... fresh froyo. Root access and everything else will be gone.
So, there won't be issues/conflicts with flashing the SBF all the way after having rom'ed and themed?

No, flashing the sbf will erase your custom rom and theme for you.
Do you know how to properly flash the sbf with RSD Lite?
Yes, I've done that a couple of times. Really just done it from stock, or close to stock though, and a little new to working within OS's so was wanting clarification how the sbf sets itself.
I've been able to bring a few "bricks" back to life with there .sbf files. Love the things when flashing roms that have a bad bootloader or something else. Saved my skin several times. So ya flashing a .sbf is a total wipe and fresh install of whatever one you use. Just make sure you have a full battery at the start
I've recently flashed NAE modem via Odin 3.09, also flashed Philz latest recovery. I was doing this so i could flash Rawintellects Stock(ish) ROM.... which seemed so badass. Really wish i could have got it working. Anyway, on to the problem.
Firmware flash went fine, Philz reovery went fine, ROM flash went fine. Now... I BELIEVE (can't remember) that i was coming from a MDL firmware, not sure though. After ROM flash, things were glitchy. No wifi (fixed after following suggestions in his thread. No 3g... fixed after a clean wipe 3X's and fresh ROM flash. And NO SOUND... never fixed. I spent half a day trying to get it right, never could.
So I decided to try another ROM, next was Negalites WondROM. Seemed cool, but had all the same issues. Exact same. Locking up, swipe screen locking up. System crashes, random reboots. NO SOUND. Figured, WTF.... tried another ROM same issues. At this point I thought maybe all these ROMS had the same kernal and that was the issue, so i flashed dif kernals compitable and recommended for dif ROMS. ALL SAME ISSUES. From here I figured it was the NAE modem the phone didn't like for whatever reason.
So now I'm stuck. I want to start over, want to flash MDL modem again, want to put the ROM i had back on here (I believe it was BluKuban or something). I am fairly certain there is now ay to take this phone back to the store and have them repair it, they will surely find something that will void the warranty even though im also fairly certain there is no warranty left on the phone. This phone is a business phone on our business account (one of 6 phones) and we've had buisiness with this sprint location for over a decade so i amy be able to persuade a repair.
Need help guys =(
Fixed
Battery below 40 percent made this phone do some wonky things, after being fully charged this morning, i was able to use download mode and flash stock modem and revert all changes and get factory image. Lost root, recovery, and roms. But everything is back to normal.
Got the info i needed to do this from this guys thread, the only other thread that i found with the same symptoms and issues as me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2662491

NAE wont work on my phone with any ROM, same issues. MF9 works just fine so I don't bother. You could have just ODIN'ed the modem only rather than losing everything.

Thanks, at that point I was happy to get anything to work, nothing lost really, just maybe 4 or 5 roms, a few GAPS packages, dealing with realizing I flashed a 4.4.3 image though.... And reading through everything looks like there is no root method available for 4.4.3 yet.... BUT HEY, got the phone functional and usable.
You can still root your phone...nothing you have done is final

I like two things. 1. Phone works 2. 4.4.3 is fast and battery life is awesome so far. I do hate the bloatware and bright ass yellow splash screen on boot. But i believe i can stick with this until root for 4.4.3 is out.
Gonna miss my ROMs till then. Unless you can find root method for 4.4. It's out for S5 but not S4. I'd be shocked if i was wrong.
You should read up a bit... No reason you can't be rooted on 4.4.3
