Just a real easy question regarding 2.1 roms and my Hero. Say I need to go to stock for warranty work, would I be able to use say RUU or a Nandroid backup to go back to Stock?
I can't find a easy Yes/No answer and have used RUU but need to use the workaround to recover from the 110 Error that is posted here. Really want to try 2.1 but don't want to do something irreversable to my phone in case I need it worked on.
Thanks in advance!
i also been asking this question nobody seems to give a clear answer...am on my 30 day trial with hero but just in case i decide not to keep the hero how do i go back to stock and unroot...i didnt do a nandroid after rooting just have the backuprecovery.img file...????so do we just run the ruu and thats it are phone is back to stock and unrooted????????
yes 10chars
regaw u are wise guy from wath a read on the forum..
i seen that theres pple having error 110 trying to go back to stock am afraid i might bump into this error when i run the ruu to go back to stock i have decided to return my hero to bestbuy after 3 weeks...wath are the steps i should take to avoid these error 110????????????
i know theres a sprint hero ruu 1.56 at geekfor me from fresh is that the right one??????
Search the forum for Error 110 and there's a thread that has a 100% fix to it, it worked for me. I would need to fastboot oem boot to get my phone back on after a 110 error but works perfectly fine now.
And always always always nandroid backup, I made sure to do it as soon as my phone was rooted and after I get things installed and set up the way I like...

if you want to flash the new recovery and reverted back to the stock ruu then u have to re-root using the same method you used to root in the first place. if you already have root then just flash the 1.6.2 recovery with the same method you used to flash 1.5.2 since from what i've read you've already done that before. if this is beyond your comfort zone you might want to stop messing with roms all together.
Dude go read everything u are asking for is on here ie. Fix for ruu problem, 1.6.2 release logs..... u call regaw a wiseguy i call u a lazy guy who cant find simple information. If ure gonna reply crying just dont, man up and read or leave your phone stock.
I always nandroid back to 1.5, or flash a 1.5 ROM before I RUU
if you updated to a custom Rom, and needed to get it back to stock for warranty issues. all you'd have to do is run the proper ruu, and you'd be set
tanx for the advice guys just ran the ruu and got the error110
ill have digg up and find the solutions on the forum tanx guys
Just picked up the dell streak from Rogers ... and going to upgrade to dj steve's build 1.3. Before I even attempt to do this I am trying to find info. on how to backup the stock recovery.
I can not find any information on how to backup the stock recovery... I have not seen the stock recovery for download with this build 1.6 build 7921 either.
I would like to do this just incase I have to put the phone back to stock to return the device... so if some one can point me in the right direction that would be great.
I thought fastboot would help me in my quest to backup the stock recovery but nothing that I can see would do such a thing.
The other thing is I have not seen 1.6 build 7921 stock rom either so I would assume that I need to install clockwork recovery and backup my rom using nandroid?
I believe these are the only 2 things I need if something messes up and I need to return the phone back to stock?
Thanks,
chunkd

BUMP ~ in the same boat here, want to be able to downgrade back to 1.6 and upgrade with the ota update when it becomes available. Anyone?
same boat..
i cant get the build 7921 to the O2 build either
I am on rogers. no problems doing it. it took a while for me to figure it out. basically you have to go to o2 1.6 then up to 2.1.. then 2.2.
I have also successfully downgraded back to 1.6 (when i was on 2.1). But there is no reason to ever want to run an official dell build when steve's builds are so much better.

how did you get onto O2 1.6? any guide that will work from 7921? thanks
I followed one of the guides on here. you should find a 1.6 US to 1.6 O2 guide somewhere. The thing that screwed me up was getting the right drivers for windows. that was a biggie. took me a few hours of reading to finally figure it out.
http://android.modaco.com/content/d...-dell-streak-android-1-6-with-online-kitchen/
this might help. i cooked my own custom 1.6 rom before upgrading to 2.1. I had a problem with the flashing buttons because i had my baseband mixed up. so downgrading back to 1.6 with a custom firmware fixed it. then i updated to 2.1.
then i flashed this:
http://android.modaco.com/content/d...r-the-dell-streak-android-2-1-online-kitchen/
read through the thread. for both flashes you require a specific recovery utility. and the corresponding baseband. And some knowledge of fastboot and installing a custom recovery menu.
There is a bit of a learning curve but once you set it up flashing new updates is a 5 minute procedure.
I wish i can sort out all of the exact files used but i downloaded so many different ones trying to get my streak going and i am now unsure of the exact files used. It just took me a lot of trial and error. Also got stuck in the boot loop a few times...
there is lots of threads on here. i suggest you do lots of reading. it took me a good solid 12 hours of playing around to finally get it going. mind you i am completely new to android phones and flashing... Believe me i was frustrated quite a few times thinking i bricked my phone. But be patient and do lots of reading.
sorry i can't help anymore then that.
Hello guys, So I got my phone about a week ago. Bought it used cause didnt wanna shell so much to find the price of it drop down to a 1/4 of it by the end of the year. Anyways, so I have searched the internet left and right for my problems and am a few hours away from being hospitalized lol. First I had to learn so much about the andriod os itself. Then there are versions with their unique names. Then there is rooting and all the ROMS out there. I am in the IT industry, just not on the development side of it and boy oh boy, did I have my hands full. I cant even imagine to think what your avg joe would go thorugh but then the avg joe buys it to surf the web and make calls only lol. Anyways, Im gonna list the problems and will appreciate any help but the driod gurus here.
So the whole time im thinking ok when I buy the phone im going Froyo. When I get the phone it already has it. Im scratching my head thinking, the guy he said he did no updates, its only rooted, how in the world does it have froyo?!?! Then I found out that the later version actually came with froyo from the factory. Ok so then I wanted it unlocked. Well to have it unlocked, you need to have apps, right? Theres no friggin app store on the damn thing!! Im thinking ok lemme do a fresh reset of the phone and it should be back, well that didnt help. Did more research and the guys said that maybe its there, just no icon so try searching on the phone. Well theres nothing there. Then I found out a million others crying over the same issue but theres like no solution that really worked for the majority (at least i didnt come across one). So i thought, you know what, im gonna just post it here and see what responses I get. So help me out guys, how do i go about this?
I guess you can use odin to go back to STOCK JFD.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13132341#post13132341
Guess you have to skip step 1 though.
I would use odin to go back to the old factory firmware. Then if you want you can use kies to upgrade back to 2.2, or you can root and use a custom rom. I can't begin to tell you how much better this phone is running a custom rom.
Go to settings then list the version and kernel in the 'about' tab. This should tell how much your phone is modded. Also just in case you didn't know, the app store in Android is called market because app store is trade marked by apple.

Not exactly sure what you are asking. Are you trying to reinstall the market app? Are you trying to root the phone? If you just got the phone and have nothing to lose in terms of information, then Odin back to stock 2.1 and then root the phone again and everything should be there. Directions for Odin are on the Team Whiskey website in Shorty's Locker along with the files you will need to accomplish this. READ the directions carefully and you should be fine and forget about reinstalling Froyo. Froyo changed recovery from 2e to 3e which affected Clockwork Mod. If you flash back to 2.1 and reroot you will be able to install custom ROM's, Kernels and Themes without difficulty.
Steps to use:
Get Odin 1.7 or 1.8
Get the USB Samsung Drivers for your PC. NOT STOCK WINDOWS DRIVERS
Download T959UVJFD - This is your baseband
Download 512.pit file - Drive partition
Read the tutorials on Odin and run the restore. You will be back to 2.1 eclair.
Then root the phone again. I use SuperOneClickv1.7 and it works fine.
Not a problem, it just so happens that I have the Market.apk and as long as its rooted (and sounds as if it is) then you should have no problem installing. I got this apk from the forums here on XDA a couple of months ago and it should still work flawlessly, hope I was able to help and good luck!
use odin to back to eclair and re root everything should work
Also you can get everything you need to go back to stock again here and is noob, and expert friendly

Hey thanks for the zip file. I wasnt exactly sur eon how do you put this on to the phone through kies and didnt really know which folder to put it in. So i went online through my phone and tried it from there but got the message of Cannot download. The content is not supported on the phone. I tried downloading winzip thinking maybe it was the reason but got the same error message

just drop it on your sdcard. Once there you should be able to access it through an app called my files. select the apk and it should install. Once installed reboot phone for good measure and try it.
Yeah I guess I should have explained further, you need to place the file on the phone so if I understand correctly you downloaded it str8 to the phone. As previously stated by madguitarist63 go to my files and check to see if the apk is there. The file should not be zipped, XDA does that and when its downloaded it should be in its raw form which is the apk. All you should need to do is select it and it will show you or ask you if you want to install. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help Im more than happy to assist.

That probably means you are running a Team Whiskey custom rom. Go to settings/about phone and go down the list and look for Software version and I believe you will find the name of the TW rom you are running., Perhaps it could be nero or bionix. Good luck!!!

Team Whiskey is one of the best ROMs on here. I'd reccomend trying Trigger and Simply Honey as well. Follow their instructions for flashing and find the one you like best. I personally like both Trigger and Simply Honey and switch back and forth.
Got any questions about doing this or in general pm me. Im not as much of a noob as I use to be

Thanks to Txwolf for posting that tutorial on what to do for a noob like me. Sorry I didn't find it earlier. I will diffidently be staying away from Rom toolbox and this time I am going to flash CWM and do a nandroid back up.

Yeah I know, I am back up though and I don't plan on rooting again it caused too many problems with this phone and I dont want to have to go through it again. I am kind of glad this happened though because now the phone seems to be running faster than it used to.
Hey guys.
I know this is a lot of ask and maybe even impossible, but I've messed my phone up pretty bad and it's being sold tomorrow. Accidentally tried to update a a rooted device and its stuck in TWRP bootloop.
is there anyway someone can send me a D803 Telus stock 4.4 rom? Or how to get one? the "go back to stock" thread is confusing and the host site to download all the drivers is down at the moment.
thanks, sorry in advance. lol
Wow. How lazy can you be? Go back to stock thread got super easy since a new, easier to use tool has been released.
