[Q] Returning a Liquid E to stock

Hey guys,
Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere, but I've searched around without any luck. Looks like I didn't do a nandroid backup of my stock ROM with Rogers, and now I'm experiencing the hardware problem with the primary speaker not working. Tried reflashing the current ROM on the phone without any luck, and now Rogers is replacing it, but I'd rather not dish out more money when the see it's been changed.
Anyone have any suggestions, or perhaps a stock rom image from a nandroid backup they did with rogers?

Everything you need is in post #11 of this MoDaCo thread- http://android.modaco.com/content/acer-liquid-liquid-modaco-com/317403/acer-lquid-e-rom-upgrade/
Best of luck in getting your device replaced.

That's awesome. Thanks for the link. I'll try this out later tonight.

Ok...so I have been reading and have been quite disappointed...As most of you are aware Rogers and Fido now have the new 2.2 OS out for the Acer liquid e however I am running a leaked version with Malez...and from what I can tell acer did something and because of what I did and from what I can tell I will now not be able to update to the stock rom. From what I can tell it somehow recognizes that the phone is rooted and because of that it cannot be updated..Will this work around help with this problem?

Go to Modaco and search for "fido rogers any phone", something like that.

I did however for some reason I keep getting an error when flashing with the acer tool...I just gave up after a while..tried for over 2 days...I am not sure if it is my computer or some kind of issue with the software

You did what? If you went to Modaco and got the rom by alan009 then you need to flash it with Malez, not acer tools. Acer tools is only meant to flash .bin files. Plus if you read that thread there are a ton of people doing it and asking questions, so no need to get stuck.
Good Luck.

Oh...maybe I did get the info from that post..I was using a set of instructions that I downloaded...It was how to put back your acer to stock rogers rom...It had all the instructions and instructed me to use the acer tool and flash something...It was a while back...I will have to go back and check it out then...I bought the new dell streak and a galaxy s so I kind of put the acer on the back burner...When i get some time i will check it out...thanks man

Looking for stock Recovery.img
Hey guys ^^
I'm looking for the stock recovery.img that comes with Liquid E. The link mentioning where I can find what I need in the above posts has expired but It has lead me to what I believe I need. All except the original recovery.img
I need to send my phone in for repairs. I accidently blew my speakers(both front speaker and back) Its pretty much my fault. Im a welder and I got metal shards in the speakers and I used a magnet to get them out. A big no no lol. Im hoping to pull a fast one on Acer considering I've had the speaker problems where I cant hear the person calling me.
Anywho, I believe I have my old nandriod back up. Im just hoping it not my nandriod back up from my G1. =s Any tips on what I can do to find the stock recovery.img from rogers would be cool and maybe some advice what to check befor I send in my Liquid E? Much Appreciated ^^
PS! My nandroid back up Is rooted I thinks. Do I need to un-root befor I send it in?
If all goes well Ill make sure to put up a link to help the next person in my position. Including my nandroid back up
Ciao - Terry

Bump
I flashed the bin and it replaced Malez, Im assuming this is the stock recovery.img. but now I need to install Malez to restore my nandroid back up. Im not quite sure how to pull out the recovery.img and then put it back in when I'm done. help?!

Um...
I'm going to assume you can not get into download mode or recovery mode?

yes I cant get to download mode or recovery

Same problem. My vibrant does not boot Tried the battery method, removing battery, holding volume buttons while putting it back in. Does not work Any other ideas I could try ?

DEAD Vibrant after OTA
Yesterday I borked my Vibrant. Spent alllll night using Odin to get it back to factory and then allowed the Tmobile ota update figuring that it worked fine before. Well it went to reboot and never came back. BLACK screen. Left it plugged in while I ate breakfast with tears dripping in my pancakes (I went to bed at 6am!) and I noticed the top of the phone was very hot. Not the battery the top.
Sometimes I hate technology but technology always hates me!
Would it be worth building a DIY plug?

First of all, what the HECK were you trying to flash onto your device? The only thing you should be using ODIN for is JFD or JI6. Those are the only official T-Mobile firmware you should be flashing to restore from a brick besides Eugene's Froyo, but that's for like emergencies.
Second of all, If you have the Bell Vibrant, this is the wrong forum.
Finally, there is no ODIN 3.1. You must be using Odin3 1.0 which is VERY unstable. Please do more research before you attempt to do things to your phone.
Address these concerns and we can proceed.

Be more helpful before you post here in our forum and do more research.
If Odin3 v1.0 is unstable you should offer the ignorant massess here the correct version to use including a link to it.

Listen here little guy, I was talking to him not you. I asked him three questions to verify what he did because if he doesn't even have the right model phone then this is the INCORRECT forum. The firmware he was trying to flash is incorrect and not stock. T959UVJE8 looks to be firmware for the Vibrant but stock firmware is T959UVJFD and the OTA update is T959UVJI6.
Posting in "our" forum Mr. 3 posts? You are telling me to do more research? That's funny.
Everything I mentioned can be found by simply going to the development section and looking in the Bible. I already mentioned that you need JFD and JI6. The latest version of ODIN is 1.7. All of this can be found in less than 2 minutes.

Honestly, you need to start by looking through there. It seems you both have a lot to learn and spoon feeding you isn't going to solve the bigger problem. Hope you get it resolved. Look through there, find the files you need (you need to get use to looking in the Bible) and come back. If you still have problems after READING, I will walk you through it. Good day.

TMobile Vibrant. It does not even start. So, Odin is not even in the picture. I was flashing the 3 button fix for vibrant using update.zip method. It flashed successfully, but after flashing, it never came back on.

I managed to get my Vibrant into DL mode the other day when it was just a black screen by...
-take out battery, sim, and sd card
-plug phone into wall charger (not computer)
-hold volume buttons while popping the battery back in
it took me a couple times, but i guess the wall charger gets a better jolt?
fyi: my vibrant is not hardware locked
hope this works for you

[Q] help on my fascinate!

i have rooted my fascinate and want to run custom roms on it. for some reason, when ever i run a rom that is DJ05, i cant send or receive text messages. so i am stuck with running DI01 roms. can any help me please? i am stuck and dont know what to do. do anyone else have the same problem or am i the only one? is there a fix for it that i havent seen? PLEASE HELP!!!

First, you didn't read and you posted in the wrong forum.
Second, you need to download odin, then flash the modem.bin as the instructions say. Also, do not forget to place the file in pda.
Regarding odin, this phone is a pda not a phone.

I am having this same issue, but I cannot find the correct post about it. Maybe I'm blind? I am really trying the answer

Kudos for at least posting to a related thread.
Find DJ05 modem here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869990
(google "dj05 release")
Also be sure to get a DJ05 kernel (and system like black hole 2+ or super clean 0.7+). I love JT's 11/29 novoodoo. There are more recent choices too (I am currently testing geeknik 12/20, available on rom manager, for instance). Avoid Voodoo kernels unless you fully understand them!
Swyped w/ XDA App. When in doubt, jingle.

[Q] Rip stock radio?

I have searched hi and low, left and right. Oh and just about the entire internet. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to rip a radio/baseband from a phone (Galaxy s/Showcase/Fascinate). I am pretty experienced with adb and other command prompt tools in the sdk. I need to rip a radio to help restore a phone to stock. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

We don't know where the radio file gets flashed to. Have you looked in the Development forum? You should be able to find the DI01, DJ05, and DL09 modems in there if you need them.

Thanks for the info. I tried all of those radio/modems. My stock modem is actually 04K.DJ20. SO I am thinking there is a minor difference between the Verizon and the Cellular South Showcase radio/modems. Which means there might be a minor difference in the fascinate and the showcase. Thank you for the ideas, as I did not think about the other modems.

Didn't realize that you were on the Showcase.

DL18 stock rom all links for downloads are broken

I need to take my phone into sprint and get it exchanged, I need to flash it back to a retail stock rom.. NONE of the links work, all are dead. Can someone please repost a working link. thanks.

Yeah dude, EC05 is what you're going to be after. Get that, use Odin, take it back in and you're good to go.
EDIT: This should help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052813

thanx... this forum is getting a little diluted.
The wiki should tell me what rom to flash to for sprint returns... The need it highlighted in red "use this rom to return phone". Documentation is always a weak trait in developers...
The DL18 links still need fixed if anyone wants them... maybe not...

The DG27 works and you'll get the OTA to EC05 instantly.
