[Q] Going back to stock

Hai guise,
So I bought my Galaxy Tab from amazon.co.uk, non-branded without a sim lock. I'm currently running the modaco ROM in addition to the modaco custom kernel (that includes clockwork) and it runs fine. For different unfortunate reasons, I need to sell the tab now. I'm trying hard currently, to find a tutorial on how to revert the changes I made to get an "as-good-as-it-gets" stock galaxy tab.
Any pointers?

Thanks for the tip. That probably won't change Clockwork back to whatever there was before, right?
Edit: Oh, seems like it did. Great. Thanks!

What do I do now? I checked the "re-partition" button in odin. Was that wrong?

2.3.4 OTA has landed!

Happening OTA on my SNS as I type this - WHOO-HOO!

No! Mine won't work, i select restart and install, the phone reported with the little android and box with the update progress bar, half WA through the box changed to A warning triangle,what am i supposed to do, there is now nothing in system updates, please help.

Sorry to hear that SWFlyerUK, I can't help with any suggestions I'm afraid.
However, mine is good and I'm having a play with it now - haven't seen much difference thus far though.

Thanks.
I've tried renaming it to update.zip then restart phone holding down volume up, recovery, the Google screen shows then the box and little android then the warning triangle, I've never been able to get into recovery, always me lol

When on the triangle press up + power again and the recovery menu will appear.

Nope thats not doing anything, the only way for me to turn the phone off is to remove the battery - is my device then "update bricked" So I can't access recovery?
When I first turn on the device with the power + volume up I enter the bootloader no problem, when I scroll down to "recovery" the Google screen is shown with the little unlocked padlock, then the box and android, then that changes to the warning triangle and android then nothing happens, can't turn off or anything without removing the battery.

SWFlyerUK, you should try to press keys in different order, press power first and then volume up.
I stayed 5 minutes as you wondering why it didn't work !!!!
Congratulation JTHM, but can you post your start version and the link of the update please ?

Worked a charm - updating now, thanks mate!

Though I'm now getting an error on install;
asset failed: file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "google/so ju/crespo:2.3.3/GRI40/102588:user/release-keys" || file_getprop("/system/build.prop", ro.build.fingerprint") == "google/so ju/crespo:2.3.4/GRJ22/121341:user/release-keys

I'm currently on 2.3.3, is it because i'm installing the wrong update?
My model is GRH78C I9020XXJK8 and installing an i9020T
GRI40, KB1 update?
My origional update that was download via OTA this morning is no longer on my device.

Correction, I do still have the origional called update.zip, but thats not working either.

GRH78C is 2.3.2 not 2.3.3 which is why you get that error. You need to upgrade to 2.3.3 (GRI40) first before you can use the upgrade. The script checks for GRI40 and it doesn't find it so it aborts.

I got a nice little surprise this morning. The OTA update was waiting for me to install. I didn't have to wait long at all to get. It took a couple weeks for 2.3.3 to land on my phone, but 2.3.4 took a few of days since it was announced. Not too shabby.

Ok so I've got 2.3.3 download, gone to apply the update which got further but was yet again aborted,
I've got assert failed:apply_patch_check("MTD:boot:2949120:ddf4dec1310bc3213cbdee1f4915e86f045755b:2945024:75a5866e391831bdc85dc6a75f81c08f6c5427")

I'm sure its the correct file. 98f3836cef93.signed.soju-GRI40-fromGRH78C.98f3836c.zip

If I'm currently rooted on 2.3.3 will my device still receive updates if an OTA upgrade is available or I have to go manual?

Would a total reformt etc of my phone help?

2.3.1 (SIMfree) when I woke this morning -> automatic OTA update straight to 2.3.4.
As it was automatic OTA I don't have a download link. Nice surprise though.

Try flash 2.3.3 full ROM? That's what I did to remove CM7 and get back to stock in order to update to 2.3.4.

Where do I find a 2.3.3 full rom for my I9023, xxxkb3?
I need it to remove my current CM7 before I can manually flash 2.3.4 into my phone. Would really appreciate it alot if you could guide me.

What do I need to do to ensure I get the OTA update??? Thanks in advance

that status 7 error is you need to update your recovery, that nightly is Android 4.4.2, not possible to install it with your recovery. Go to CyanogenMod 11 thread and follow the directions.

[Q] How to install ROM?

Hi,
I have the Motorola Defy MB525.
My parents and sister have recently changed their phones, so I have 3 Defys. I'm willing to try anything with them, I don't really care if they brick. I'd like to install Android 4.4 KitKat. They're currently running 2.2...
The one I'm using right now is rooted.
Whenever I try to install a ROM from the recovery screen, I get:
"Verifying update package...
..E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log"
Can anyone help me solve this problem?
Thanks,
MatB

...Great, I'm stuck in an endless boot animation... I guess I'll go on with the second Defy... Please help me!

Try to flash back Lollipop stock firmware...
Sent from my ASUS_Z00A using XDA Labs

Enable Adoptable Storage ?
Like the Zenfone 2 Laser (ZE500KL), Adoptable Storage is disabled by looking at the changelog.
I'm about to buy this phone but I do really need it, I know it's possible to enable it back (with adb, etc) but I want to be sure before.
Can someone who switched to Android Marshmallow try to get it back and tell if they've succeeded on the Zenfone Selfie ?

Already fixed after posting that comment. Now working with CM but no more ASUS stock rom.

Can't flash the ROM on my phone
I already tried to flash this ROM with my phone (Build LRX22G.CN_user_1.13.40.661_20151103044030520_2015052101030030000500001) several times via "apply update via sd card" and as well via adb sideload. Both of them don't work. I also tried to flash different Lollipop stock firmwares (WW_1.12.40.382 and WW_1.15.40.1582), doesn't work either. I always get the errors: "E: failed to verify whole-file signature" and "E: signature verification failed". Can somebody help me?
Edit: I ordered the phone from China, maybe that's why I have this "strange" build number? Is there any possibility to flash Marshmallow on a Chinese phone? In my options menu I don't have any updates option unfortunately
