Ok so I flashed the x10 homescreen for x8, caused my phone to bootloop, was using 2.1.1.0.a.6 Rom 3 UK branded.. Instead of recovering my backup I flashed with seus for clean install, seus then downloaded the firmware again which I thought was strange flashed it normal now my handset looks to be debranded all 3uk stuff gone boot anim, apps, data settings. What would cause this?

Maybe you changed your SI-Number?
Nope.... I wouldn't know how too. Still very new to se android phones, had HTC's before x8

What have you done with your phone? Have you installed JIT or something like this?
It was rooted, ap2sd, xrecovery and jit enabled. Thats it really have had mini-cm on in the past.

Interesting. Have you installed JIT through Auto-Install script or through manual way?

The only other things I've done are change bootscreen with boot animation changer of market place and I removed the 3uk standard apps. But all of those things should of come back when I reflashed with seus
Sent from my E15i using Tapatalk
Yes but the flashable zip for JIT adds a new build.prop with a different SI-Number. So you flashed your phone with SEUS and it detected the new number and... you are branding free^^

Cool. Thanks for that, much appreciated. XD
Was quite confysed. Can you manually edit build.prop?
Sent from my E15i using Tapatalk
Yes it's possible. Install Root Explorer and get the file /system/build.prop
You can edit everything in it.

Yes. Copy it with Root Explorer in your card, change it and put it back. It's in your system files. You will find it easy. Be very CAREFULL, do not change sth you don't know what it is...
(I think you cant's edit it where it is because of the permisions you may have)
If you have root you can edit it directy in phone with Root Explorer.

Why do you want to unroot?
or an easy way , just use SE Update service and re-install the latest update from Sony Ericsson
Don't need to update the software just for that. It can be done on the easyer way.
Use Super One Click, it was very easy for me to root my X8 using it. I believe it is easy to indoor too.

Manual unroot:
Remove su, busybox and xrecovery.tar from /system/bin and push original chargemon in case you had xRecovery, clean up /data/local/tmp to remove RATC or psneuter exploit and uninstall Superuser. And if you've maybe chmodded any files in /system that are not listed above, first go to xRecovery and fix permissions.

Hi guys , I'm in trouble since I've got my Nexus One. I could never flash anything. IT's a Vodafone one, and this it's specifications:
Nexus One
Version 2.2.1
Compilation FRG83D
Kernel 2.6.32.9-g6642e39
See the attacked files...
I was just trying to update my nexus one from 2.2.1 to Gingerbread.
1- How can I do ??
2 -And why my cell can be updated ??
I do the same process told everywhere :
1 donw vol + power
2 Recovery
3 power + up vol
And here where it breaks :
--- Install from sdcard.....
Finding update package ....
opening update package ....
Verifying update package ....

I don't know ...
I'm using Hboot 0.35.0017
You've obviously downloaded the wrong Gingerbread roms. Maybe you are trying to flash a custom rom, not the official update.
Or maybe you're not renaming the update zip file correctly, it's easiest to do from a command prompt.
Make sure you have the right update zip. The updates name will be long and weird, that's why after you've downloaded the right zip, you then need to change its name to update.zip (note : its not update.zip.zip). Then put the uodate.zip file on to the root of your SD card which means the zip needs to be not inside any folder.
Tip: I suggest you Google 2.3.3 manual update. The file will be somewhere on the internet. Good luck.

Did you make sure you renamed the update file on your sd card to "update?"
Stock recovery, so you can only flash stock updates.
You're on Vodafone, who modify their OS, so you cannot flash a stock Google update.
You need a stock Vodafone update, and I don't think one has been released yet.
Your options are:
1 - wait
2 - passing to a Google stock
3 - root

From what I understand, there are no obvious signs that Vodafone have tweaked their ROMs. There are plenty of threads on how to switch Vodafone to stock Google though, if you don't believe me?

Thanx to all guys !!
I've discovered that my cell was no able to be flashed 'cause it was a ****ing Vodafone's cell !!
Soo I installed a nem fastboot and after I took Rom Manager, and there's the solution. Rom Manager has been crucial. Excellent App !! With it I could change de recovery and then install whatever I want.

Hi guys I don't wana use computer. Cause im not at home right now is it possible to change baseband with xrecovery? Cause I can download the file with wifi.
Thanks
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk
No it isn't possible. you can only do so through flashtool
I hoped for the same thing. I wish it would have been made possible. But unfortunately it's not going to happen.
sorry man, the way bb flashing is done is via flash mode on the pc - there is no way for xrec to emulate this unfortunately, it needs to be the old fashioned usb-in-a-pc mode. sorry!
Lol it's ok. Wish there was a way people could do it with phone only just like changing roms cause I wana try cm7 and miui but if I don't like the rom means I have to change my baseband again or they should make rom available for all baseband would be awesome

Grab the BB patches that are floating around... you can flash those with xrecovery and will allow you to do exactly what you'd like.

It allows you to keep your current baseband and flash a non compatible rom however, therefore this would be better if her if she has no access to a pc.
Hmm, you're right. Still, I'm assuming BObSlob meant it was possible to change BB using those patches, because the OP's question was quite clear, she wants to switch BB through xrecovery.
If I'm mistaken i apologize in advance.
Your right lol. But I guess I have to use flashtool when I get home tonight. How long does it take to change baseband? And would I lose root?

You can change the BB without changing your FW, so no you will not lose root. But like it was mentioned you can keep your BB and still use those ROMs if you flash the BB patch through XRec.

No, I meant it as a workaround for the issue, which Ive used myself. This essentially provides you a means of keeping your current baseband and making it compatible with any rom.
Think of it as an actually delivered unified baseband that Trip promised almost two months ago.
Changing basebands is possible through custom recoveries such as ClockworkMod. xRecovery does not have the ability to alter anything in the flash memory because we do not have a fully unlocked bootloader.

Flash the zip then delete the superuser apk..
Sky Go then works. To get root back just install superuser and busy box, root access back.
Only takes 2 minutes.

uninstalled superuser, rom manager, and root explorer.
booted into cwm using the volume key, menu button, and power button.
it appeared to flash/install properly, with no errors as well.
Did you use a different method to flash as it says removing cwm, and i'm guessing it can't remove it if it's in use.
I flashed the zip on reboot un installed su, sorry I just tried again to see your problem, no the problem was me, and just install su from market and busy box to get back root. Sorry when I'm home I'll change the instructions.
Edit: no need to remove any apps.

There must still be something that it detects, not sure what. If your bbox and superuser are deleted there is no root access so I don't know what it's picking up

Hi Brian,
Good to see you're finding an alternative good use for the script. :good:
Just a quick explanation;
The script will only remove those files that are saved in system/ app & system/ xbin folders because of the original need to be able to remove evidence of those files whilst returning to stock (for warranty) via nandroid backup (where firmware wasn't yet avaiable). I could have written the script to remove files from data/ app, but they could be removed via traditional method or factory reset.
All (I know of) custom ROMs will have installed superuser to system, but if you download from the market, obviously the script won't remove it, as it's now installed to data rather than system folder
Code:
set_progress(1.000000);
ui_print("Removing SU, BusyBox & CWM Manager...");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p9", "/system");
delete("system/app/CWMManager.apk");
delete("system/app/CWMManager-SGS3-v3.50.apk");
delete("system/app/CWMManager-SGS3-v3.55.apk");
delete("system/app/CWMManager-SGS3-v3.60.apk");
delete("system/app/Superuser.apk");
delete("system/xbin/su");
delete("system/xbin/busybox");
unmount("/system");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("Done!");
ui_print(" ");
Cheers

Hi Guys,
Not working for me. I originally installed Omega ROM using Samsung GS3 Toolkit. I then installed SuperUser from the market. Switched my super user app from SuperSU to SuperUser using the settings within SuperSU. Uninstalled SuperUser. Flashed the zip in CWM. Root checked says I dont have propper route access. My apps which require root do not get the root access they require but when I attempt to watch content on Sky Go, I get the following message: 'Sky Go is not supported on rooted Android devices.'
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Dan
Found the problem, it was the method of root I was using. I was previously rooted via the SGS toolkit method and files in the root folder. did a complete reset/flash etc and re-rooted via cf root.
but after all that I haven't got any apps on my phone that require rooting :S
