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
There doesn't seem to be any guide on rooting the mytouch 1.2 and putting CM 5.0.7 on it, but many people seem to be following the guide at Theunlockr
I just read a few people posting that the sappimg file is corrupted or there was issues, so I'm kind of nervous about using it.
Files I have from Theunlockr
GoldCardTool.cab
FenderWRoot.zip
MT3G Original Radio and SPL.zip
recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img
sappimg.zip
CM 5.0.7
update-cm-5.0.7-DS-signed.zip
Do i also need the google addons? Can't seem to find a link anywhere
I recently rooted my 1.2 using the unlocker's guide, for some reason after I rooted it was stuck at the magic boot screen, but then I just booted into recovery and was able to flash a rom that way... Whats the newest radio right now anyway?
p.s. Yea it's pretty safe if you follow it exactly, just know if you mess up the radio and flashing part your screwed...
yea you need google add on... here it is http://kanged.net/mirror/download.php?file=gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed.zip
you dont need that FenderWRoot.zip... since you're flashing cyanogen 507 instead
oh and that sappimg worked for me when I rooted last month

Thanks so much for the link and the help. So if i follow the instructions, when it gets to step 10, use update-cm-5.0.7-DS-signed.zip instead of FenderWRoot.zip?
Since the instructions don't cover the google apps, how do I actually install it? I'm trying to read as much as possible before touching anything
Thanks again
right flash cyanogen 507 and then flash the google add on apps right afterwards then reboot...
no need for FenderRoot ROM... its just the old stock ROM
Yep cyanogen has built it into the kernel already it seems....

Hello.
I just got this phone, and it is UNLOCKED and stock 2.1 on it.
I would like to update to the official 2.2 and keep the unlocked, can someone point me to the right direction and tell me how that will be done?
I heard the 2.2 is not out officially, but it is leaked, so that leaked version is the full 2.2 stock or something missing?
I heard something about rooting, flashing, but I am not sure what that means as I just got this phone.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

root the phone 1st then download rom manager then pick a rom eugene's , sombionix, or master are all good read up on them and then pick one
down load it on to your computer then load into the internal sd card then reboot in to recovery or through clockwork (rom manager) and load it up.. If you can't follow read up on the sticky's in this forum it explains way better.........
Look in here for all your needs and tools that you'll want to get started on getting Root, ClockworkMod Recovery and a Custom Rom.

Look in here for all the different Roms. (ie Android 2.1 roms or Android 2.2 roms)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=711
Just like oka1 said, you need to root your device first. Then get rom manager from the market and install clockworkmod recovery through it. When your done with that download any rom you want and put it on your Internal Memory (Phone Storage) on the root of it. Then flash through Clockworkmod. Hope its enough. ;D
Words are sounding very complicated, but I am sure its not just need to learn how to do the steps....
Also the 2.2 will fix GPS, and have Full Flash browser right?
Can I use this to root? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739300
Also if I brick this phone as I am new at it, can it be recovered?
And where do I find the stock 2.2, please?
Thanks.
Look in the development forum or use search. It's all there, and trivial to find.
My signature should teach you everything you need.
for the rom, go to the development section... There is a sticky called the bible. It has everything.
I personally would flash nero v3 (not the beta 3). Most on here agree it's amazing.
Also, Vibrant's are REALLY hard to brick... Worst case you can use odin to get back to stock 2.1. Thid is also covered in my signature.
Now, with all that said... Samsung promised froyo by year end. You may want to wait a few days (I'd still take nero over an ota, just giving you all the information. They may not deliver)

Please help -- how to flash this new stock gingerbread rom to a rooted g2
I have a rooted G2 running CM7, but the gps is totally dead. I'm too much of a noob to flash a new radio, which I think would do the trick. Flashing this stock gingerbread rom seems like the perfect solution because it includes an updated radio and i am just sure it will fix the gps problem.
I bought the phone rooted and I know how to flash new rooted roms through clockwork (so easy), but I have absolutely no idea how to flash a rom like this that updates everything.
I'm sure this question has been asked here before, but can someone just point me to a step-by-step instructions about how to flash this particular stock gingerbread rom to a g2 that is rooted and has clockwork installed?
Thanks~! This is my first post.

Flashing a radio is easy. Just follow the steps in the radio thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970809
I know the second method (fastboot and radio.img files) is supposed to be safer. But that looks like it might be over your head, and you need the Eng Hboot to do it.
Flashing a ROM is easy, too. Just move the file to your SD card, and flash from ROM Manager. You will see an option "Install ROM from SD Card". Browse to the file, and the rest is the same as if you downloaded the ROM using ROM Manager.
Thanks, but a few more questions . . .

Thanks for the reply! I think you are underestimating how new I am to this, though. My question is really this: does it matter, when flashing the new gingerbread rom for g2 that just came out, that the rom is not just a rom, but also a radio and everything else? it is titled in the "PC10IMG" form, which seems to me, from reading other threads, to be a special thing.
[full title: PC10IMG_Vision_Gingerbread_S_TMOUS_2.13.531.8_Radio_12.52.60.25_26.08.04.30_M3_release_188635_signed]
also, would you recommend that i wipe stuff before flashing? when the person who flashed my phone with me last time did it, he wiped dalvik cache and two others (can't remember which, or where he found them in recovery), and user data as well. but if you go to do it within clockwork, it doesn't ask you to do that, does it? again, i'm sure there is a thread about this somewhere.

well, it's a bit complicate.
supposedly the rom will return your phone to a totally stock state, which will give you the new radio etc, but you will not have root - this was already confirmed. One other forum member mentioned that he flashed the rom and did not loose S-OFF, which is a controversy...
update: lol, dude having CM on your phone means you already have clockwork installed. you just need the /system part of the leak and it's available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074852
Really all he needs to do is run vision efs wipe. This been gone over a million times. CM + gps broke = needing efs wipe. No need to get into radios and all that just yet.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
you can solve your gps issues by following two basics:
1. match libs in /system/libs with your radio version,
2. wipe two partitions like it is explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028405
You don't need the new rom, though - it still has the 2 muted seconds when receiving an incoming call - for me that is the no go.

I thought you were talking about the version of the leak that is mentioned in the last post (#10) and also mentioned above in post #4, which is pre-rooted. Thats the one you want. Flash from ROM Manager.
If you are talking about flashing this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074391
This is the official ROM, and as stated in the previous post, you will lose root. So you probably want to avoid this.
PC10IMG.ZIP files are flashable from Hboot (CWM not required). But since you have Clockwork, I believe you can flash any ROM or patch, as long as its a ZIP file. Its safer to flash from CWM anyway, so avoid Hboot for flashing ROMs.
Not positive, but I think you can keep your data since you are going between similar ROMs (Gingerbread, non-Sense). Wiping dalvik and cache are advisable. Not doing so when switching ROMs can lead to random bugs, and there is no real reason to not wipe them. You can wipe dalvik and cache in recovery. If you want to wipe data, you can also do that in recovery, under "advanced". But you will lose all your user data.
If you flash from ROM Manager, it will ask if you want to wipe. But I've never been clear on what all exactly is wiped (dalvik, cache, data). It might be all 3 of those.
Sorry, I've just stated a bunch of things I'm not completely sure about. So hopefully somebody else can confirm these.
The good news is, do a backup of your current ROM in ROM Manager before you flash anything, and if you screw up anything, you can just go into recovery and load your backup.
please help -- do not want to brick

I actually would prefer this to flashing a version of this rom that someone else has extracted/altered, however little. My fear is two things:
1 -- Will it brick my phone to flash a PCIMG file? (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838484)
2 -- what do I have to do differently to flash a PCIMG file other than what I normally would do in clockwork to flash another rom (for example a CM rom)
THANKS!

I have tried that, to no avail. I see others who have tried that and failed, and things seem to get tricky after that. I agree, I would rather avoid the nitty gritty stuff.
So I am devastated to see that there is no lock animation =(. That was something I was really looking forward to, despite the insignificance.

My opinion, you're better off flashing the rooted ROM. If you flash the official PC10IMG.ZIP, you will lose root, and not be able to get it back without downgrading (negating the purpose of flashing the official ROM in the first place).
Are you worried about malicious, or accidentally harmful modifications to the ROM (in the rooted version of the leak)? I don't worry much about ROMs for reputable developers. But admittedly, I don't know anything about that user that posted the rooted version of the leak.
In response to your questions:
1) As the thread you posted indicates, its safer not to flash those files unless you know exactly what you are doing.
2) I think you can flash from Clockwork. But as I said, if you aren't sure what you are doing, its not a good idea. You will lose root, and I think some people have also gotten S-On by flashing the official ROMs also. I which case, you may be pretty screwed (as far as getting root), since you can't flash other ROMs with S-On.
Alright so I've reading through all sorts of different forums and feel lost and exactly what to do. I downloaded the official 2.3 update ROM for the G2 that Football had released off of a mirrored site from my phone's browser then renamed it PC10IMG and moved to the root of the SD card. I then did the whole volume down + power button to load the zip but for some reason it says:

Well, I'm kind of at a crossroads here. I'm running an unrooted 2.2, but since I deleted a few bloats I'm unable to go to Gingerbread over the air. On one hand I can re-add the apks back to my phone and go to the official 2.3.4 or I can root and use a 2.3.4 rom. My question is, which is the easiest to do and are there any drawbacks of having the rooted version of gingerbread? Meaning, does the OTA version have any additional features that I'll lose with the rooted one (updated radio, etc?). Thanks for the time and help everyone on here puts!
Most people here will lean towards telling you to root. There's no downside to rooting, only upsides. You can ALWAYS unroot and return to stock if you need to return the phone for warranty replacement.
I'd say just root. You can install a perfectly stock pre-rooted OTA build if you like the stock look-and-feel (its perfectly stock, just rooted), but at the same time you can always install other ROMs to try out as well.
And either way you get all the bonuses of root, such as ad-blockers, backup apps, etc..
As far as radios, you can flash any radio you'd like. I'd recommend just flashing the recommended T-mous 2.3 OTA radio, which is 26.08.04.30 I believe.
I personally installed this stock pre-rooted ROM and it works perfectly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1211143

A newbie question here... I just rooted my stock Froyo 2.2 and have ROM Manager installed. Do I need to 'Wipe Data and Cache' when flashing this ROM? The guides I read said this should always be done, but that'd mean losing my apps, settings and other data if I'm not mistaken.

Yes, you really need to wipe data/factory reset before flashing this ROM. You can use an app like 'Titanium Backup' to back up all of your apps+data to your SD card, then restore them to the new ROM. DO NOT backup/restore system data though.
Also, its always a great idea to do a nandroid (ROM manager) backup of your current ROM before wiping/flashing the new one

Its not required, but its usually recommended to flash the radio intended for the ROM you're using. You can find a list of radios and the ROMs they're associated with in the dev section. I recommend installing them via the PC10IMG.zip in the bootloader.
Thanks a lot, I still need to learn a lot about this stuff

No problem.
Thanks again... everything went without a hitch.
I left the existing radio for the time being and the new ROM works fine so far.
The only pain was the reinstallation of all my apps, but Titanium took care of that. Just time-consuming

if you buy the full version you can restore them all at once
might work if you want to flash any other ROMs, which im pretty sure youre gonna start doing now that you know how to

Glad it worked. If you ever want to flash ROMs with any decent frequency you'll wanna pay for the PRO version. Its totally worth it.

As far as radios, you can flash any radio you'd like. I'd recommend just flashing the recommended T-mous 2.3 OTA radio, which is 26.08.04.30 I believe.
I personally installed this stock pre-rooted ROM and it works perfectly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1211143
And here's the wiki to follow to gain root properly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...sion#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD

2 weeks ago I had to send my phone in under warranty. They told me to back up my data as HTC would restore (Thank God I didnt listen to them). Anyways, I received my phone yesterday with a replaced main board. My phone wasn't previously rooted and I had already did the OTA etc so couldn't root. I notice they updated me to 2.3.3 stock. Before I do anything this time around I would like to root my phone before putting data back. Is it as simple as following these steps? Im on Bells network. Also where is it I find the radio version??

Yours will be a bit different. Since you're already on 2.3, you'll have to downgrade in order to root. There are some guides being created currently that you can follow. its been discussed in a few threads lately.

So do I need to wait for them to be finished or do they exist? I thought I saw something but dont see it anymore.

These guides are finished, but I'm not sure how proven they are.
