[Q] Running CM6 RC1 but I have S-ON??? - G2 and Desire Z General

first off, any help here is gladly appreciated....
As the thread title states.... I'm running CM6 RC1 on my G2...
But for some odd reason , Signature Verification is on (S-ON)
Can someone guide me or help restore this back to (S-OFF)
- Please don't ask how this happened cause I don't know how it happened myself.
I made a nandroid like 2 days ago and was restoring to it through clockwork mod and now it's on. Something must of went wrong along the way or I must of clicked something by mistake.
Without signature verification being off, I cannot revert to the Stock ROM or restore the original recovery image.

Can u still temp root?

Boot into recovery, under the advanced settings there is a toggle for signature verification. Toggle it off and reboot. Enjoy!

wrong
try re-writing the hboot like you did when you originally rooted the phone. as long as you can su you should be able to put it back

I had a similar issue when I had paul's rom and tried to flash the stock rom over it. I had to use hex editior to restore the stock rom and I just rooted. I applied all my goods afterwards and it's been fine since. The problem occured when I tried to flash the stock rom over the paul's which is a big no no.

you are the man!
I used the hexeditor and was able to restore the stock rom perfectly.
If anyone needs any guidance on how to do it , just ask here!

This link should be very helpful for people that need to downgrade. I posted a link to a hex editor in the 6th page .

Help going from OTA Froyo to Cupcake

Hey so I'm on FroYo and I would like to go back to Cupcake. How could I go by doing this? I have an original MT3G.

BUMP for you. I've been wondering about this same thing. What have you tried so far? AFAIK your options are to SAPPIMG it or to root and use rom manager.
Hboot (volume down and power) the sappimg.nbh file that will take u back to stock
Sent from my HTC Magic SparksMod using XDA App
Tried SAPPIMG, it tells me something about the version being newer?
Also tried an OTA 1.6 update in recovery, it just says invalid signature. I've been tiring to root but I can't find a way that gives me a permanent root, I can achieve a soft root only.
thanks for your input guys
I managed to down grade the official ota to 1.5. I see that you tried to use the SAPPIMG so I am including the entire back story:
First off, I had the official ota 2.2.1, which I had downloaded and flashed manually from XDA posts. I had it rooted using the superoneclick method.
I DO NOT recommend this next part: I messed up by using rom manager to try to flash clockwork recovery. It was sloooow, so I knew something had gone wrong. I thought I had broke it, 'cause it would not go into recovery mode after that!
Here's what you should try: In my "controlled panic" I flashed the original 1.5 rom found here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DQWW0Y9N
This got me to 1.5 and then applied the updates to 1.6. I used universal androot to root and flashed the new recovery using rom manager. Then I flashed CM6.1 RC1.
I hope this helps.

Reset my incredible!

Ok so I am having some serious issues with my phone. I have rooted it before the 2.2 update was out for the incredible and I have messed around with it since. I have used unrEVOked's s-off patch and because of it now my phone will not do a couple of things. The system update keeps bothering me to update but when i tell it to do so it fails to restart. Also the My Verizon app doesn't work at all, it fails to recognize my phone (surprise surprise). My phone currently works fine as a phone and data device but those things really bother me and I want to get it back to a factory image. When I go to switch the S-ON with Clockwork Recovery, as I select the update.zip file that switches the S-ON the screen goes black and resets to the menu. I have no idea what to do from here. Does anyone have any ideas?
You need to use the unrevoked s-on tool if you want to go back.
See the faq section at this link.
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever
Also, if you've flashed a custom rom you'll need to install an ruu to get back to stock.
Do a lot of reading first and proceed at your own risk!

Just curious. What radio are you on? I remember reading somewhere that S-Off and on don't support the 9-1 + radios. And what clockworkmod version are you on?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I am using 2.15.00.07.28. Following the guide linked in a previous post on this thread, I changed it to this to make S-ON work but to no avail. I assume i have the latest clockworkmod because i just barely reflashed it with unrevoked. It is vers. 2.5.1.2
Have you tried the official one posted here?
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever
It looks like they have updated it for the new radios. And the one on the guide might be an older version.

You will need to go back to a stock recovery in order to get the VZW OTA to work
the lack of that recovery will make the phone update fail to reboot.

Yeah I gave that a shot when I was trying the guide posted previously. It reset my recovery to stock but when it tried doing the OTA it still failed to reboot. I'll try using the latest S-ON tool. Worked!! Wow! I have never got this far. Now lets see if it solves the problem...
Out of curiosity why even bother going back to stock? You could have most likely fixed all of your issues just by flashing a newer rom.

how to upgrade to froyo while retaining personal data using .zip file

so i finally decided to make the jump and give my epic some froyo love. i spent the majority of my weekend figuring out the best way to do this and wanted to share what i learned especially since this forum gave me invaluable information, scripts, and files that i pieced together to get my phone upgraded to my liking.
my phone was running a bone stock DI18 with the exception of removing a few sprint bloatware apps. what i wanted to do is install froyo DK28 while retaining my call log, text messages, 200+ apps, etc. the best way to do this is to use the DK28 zip file found here and applying it at boot. i tried flashing with odin at first but backing up and importing my old files would have been too much work.
a lot of people had problems with the update tripping up just like this--including me. so here is the workaround i came up with.
first i installed clockworkmod recovery 2.5.1.0 according to this guide. next i cracked open the DK28 zip and found the script that runs the update. it is found in META-INF > com > google > android > updater-script. i found the code with all of the asserts in it and removed the code that checked for the bloatware that most people uninstall. i also removed code that checked for the boot screen animation because that tripped my update up as well.
from there i zipped the package back up, loaded it to my sd card, and booted into clockworkmod recovery. then i went to "Install zip from sdcard", made sure that signature verification was disabled, and then chose the modified DK28 zip from the sdcard. and that's it! once it was done applying the changes i had a fresh froyo upgrade with all my personal information intact.
after that i converted the filesystem to ext4 and flashed a new rom--system only. but what you do after installing the update is up to you of course.
i'll include the "updater-script" file that i modified in case you don't want to go thru the code line by line yourself. the whole package is too large to upload with it included so you will still have to unzip this attachment, download the DK28 update, unzip the update, and replace the file by yourself but this might make it a little easier. i hope this helps someone!
this didnt work for me, nor did installing the original update.zip.
what didn't work? was there an error message?
when trying to apply the update.zip with clockworkmod recovery mode, it runs it, doesnt finish and returns to the menu. When I try it with the stock recovery mode, it errors out saying signature verification failed.

do you have a bone stock version of eclair DI18? mine was with the lone exception being that i removed some of the sprint bloatware. i'll update my post because i probably should have mentioned that. there might be something in that updater-script that needs to be removed or modified to work with your setup. that's the only thing i can think of.

yes i think so. i saw them there but didn't test them. i had a few issues with some of the apps after i converted to ext4 and used cwm to advance restore the frankenstein rom's system underneath my data. i'm pretty sure that is what caused the problems with the apps. not the initial upgrade itself. i think i have a backup i can restore to check. i'll get back to you on that one

MOD PLEASE DELETE Thread is of No use

or just download CM7 and flash that along with gapps (wipe dalvik/cache/factory)
and your phone is not bricked. the definition of a bricked phone is a phone who cannot access recovery/fastboot/etc.. can access absolutely nothing
Well, he does say that his attempts to flash a rom always abort...
OP, we need more details.
Are you using Clockwork Recovery? Which version? Try an older/newer version...
What ROM are you trying to flash? Have you tried others?
What happens when you try a normal boot? You say you get as far as the first setup screen?
Have you tried a Factory Reset of the phone from within recovery (stock or clockwork)?

I think it might be okay now ....after titanium said busybox was installed....i dont think it was done correectly.....after downloading busy box from market....recovery seems to be sticking rather then reverting back to android. Just to check....is there anything i should do to check all is well on my phone and also while flashing i think i changed build number from IR to GH (what are the implications of this move? many thanks...phew

That's normal. See below:
It's normal to lose the recovery after the reboot, the steps to flash the CW recovery needs to be repeated every time you want to access the CW recovery.
This is due the build in protection in 2.3
As some one pointed it out on another topic, the good thing about this is that you'll never lose the stock recovery of 2.3, thus minimizing the chance of a bricked phone.
If you want to the CW recovery to remain permanently, you'll need to rename /etc/install-recovery.sh to something thing else

[Recovery] ClockworkMod Recovery flashable from bootloader

Someone asked if it was possible to flash ClockworkMod Recovery through hboot instead of using RomManager. The answer...yes.
Primary reason something of this nature may be useful, as I see it, is if your recovery is damaged, your ROM is bootlooping, and you don't want to use or have access to ADB.
In that case you would:
remove your sdcard from your phone
place the zip on the root of the sdcard (using an adapter or another phone) and make sure it is named the appropriate "PG05IMG.zip"
place the sdcard back in your phone
boot to bootloader as if you're installing a radio (power+VolDown from powerOff). It will then find the zip, recognize it as recovery and ask if you want to install (if it does not prompt then select "Bootloader" from hboot).
Follow the instructions and after it finishes flashing pull your battery to power off (since the ROM will be bootlooping and hboot will constantly find the zip)
Now remove the sdcard and delete the zip (via adapter or other phone) like you did to put it on the sdcard, then place the card back in the phone.
Boot back to bootloader (Pwr+VolDwn)
Select "Recovery" and use CWR to wipe data/cache, flash a new rom, restore, or whatever you wish.
Obviously not the only reason since some people prefer this method over RM but clearly in that case the whole sdcard switching mess is unnecessary. Just do steps 2 and 4 and reboot when prompted like you do with radios.
Remember to remove any PGO5IMG.zip from your sdcard when done.
If this isn't useful to you, so be it. I just figured I'd throw this out there. Maybe it will help someone.
I will keep this updated as new versions come out for those few that find it useful.
**Credit to Koush and jcase**
All I did was decide to throw them in a zip that was useful in some situations for panicking users.

I tested flashing the stock recovery from the custom firmware, confirmed it had replaced CWR, then used this to install CWR back.
Primary reason something of this nature may be useful, as I see it, is if your recovery is damaged, your ROM is bootlooping, and you don't want or have access to ADB. In that case you would just pull your sdcard, place this on the root (via adapter or someone else's phone) named the appropriate "PG05IMG.zip", place back in your phone, and boot to bootloader as if you're installing a radio.

If this doesn't work and doesn't have any use for anyone, so be it. I just figured I'd throw this out there.
BTW, this is ClockworkMod Recovery 3.1.0.2 (latest for mecha at time of posting).
Note1: Only tested on Engr hboot with S-off obviously
Note2: I don't have access to an MD5 generator where I am so people that test this should have a booting ROM with RomManager or at least know how to manually reflash ClockworkMod Recovery if it doesn't work.

Here is your package with the 4.0.0.5 Modded Recovery ready to flash in HBOOT.
JCASE created the Recovery, so him the love for it. I all I have done is use it. LOL It gives you the option under "advanced" to "reboot bootloader". So you can install the ROM, then simply boot into boot loader to flash the radio.

In your case it would probably be easier to just use flash_image from terminal on the phone (i.e. flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img) assuming your current rom has it (if not just search and download it) or you have RM installed. The main case I saw this being useful was if you didn't have or want to use ADB and your ROM was unusable (e.g. bootlooping). I may add Jcase's modded recovery to the OP as well since it seems useful/wanted by some.
I thought the one JCase made had issues with nandroid backups installing? I could be wrong but for some reason I remember that issue for several people.

actually,thats allready how it is ive rooted mr2 twice and the mr1 upgrade allready has clockwork installed.
it is that easy,i have done this,and i have also removed the hboot and stock recovery from PG05IMG RUUs so that i could flash without destroying recovery and my eng bootloader.
thanks for putting it together and offering the download, it has many uses, as people will see. the biggest one allready having been mentioned,if something screws up your OS and recovery,its easy to get it back.
did you make up your own android info file? or what did you take it from?
again thanks for posting this,it was commonplace to install inc recoverys in hboot,and ive done it on the eris as well

Figures. It was too simple of a concept not to have been done but I didn't see anyone that had done it in Tbolt. I also hadn't seen anyone mention it was in the custom firmware either and I didn't have time to check this morning before I left for work. I guess I can pull that part out of the OP since you say it's already in there.
thanks for putting it together and offering the download, it has many uses, as people will see. the biggest one allready having been mentioned,if something screws up your OS and recovery,its easy to get it back.

Exactly my reasoning. I've seen to many people unaware of what to do in that situation
did you make up your own android info file? or what did you take it from?

I checked a few from the firmware and radios and they all looked the same so I just pulled one of those.
again thanks for posting this,it was commonplace to install inc recoverys in hboot,and ive done it on the eris as well

First HTC android phone I've owned but as I said, makes sense it would have been done a long time ago for other HTC phones.

Yup. Been using it since it's release. Restored many backups with absolutely no issues.

id be willing to bet most people dont know,lol.they prolly just blindly downloAd rom manager and flash it. i checked to see if it was there,after seeing this as one of the last statements in the root post: Reboot your phone. You should now have full root permissions, an engineering kernel and recovery.

its one of the things i really love about htc. i got used to installing recoverys,splash screens,etc. on my incredible,then started experimenting with img files on my eris,and discovered it was quite possible to simply move the images around kinda neat if you want to try a leaked ruu but dont want to wait for someone to post a CWM flashable roms. just pull out the hboot and stock recovery and flash away
it was quite common to manipulate things in hboot on the inc,but never mentioned in the eris forum,where most of the gurus frowned upon the s-off bootloader.kind of a shame... more bricked eris's prolly could have been revived after the clockwork fiasco if s-off was part of the common root process.
thanx for the android info info. when i make them up,it doesnt seem to matter which one i use. i dont think it even checks the text inside,i think you just need a text document titled "android info" lol
Thank you for the updated 5.0.0.1 cement recovery.
