Error 404 on the google doc link
I posted a question a few days ago asking how to unroot and revert back to stock. I have a physical phone problem with my device and need warranty repairs.
If I follow your post instr then I will end up with the JB OTA stock image, unrooted with a locked bootloader? If so it's the answer I've been looking for!
Does this work on all versions of nexus s?

No it does not work on all versions of ns... as it has the factory image for soju ( i9023 and i9020 international versions. Does the link work ? Where else could i upload a folder ?

It would get your phone to stock 4.1,1 official google image not rooted... as for the bootloader it locks it. But if not you could just use the "fastboot oem lock" comand

A script can accomplish anything that a user can accomplish on their own by doing the same commands. If there is a hardware or software error on the device that is preventing it from working the manual way then the script won't work either.

Hi ... yes I understand what you're saying. My phone's problem is possibly the micro USB port, seems to be working poorly. Phone charges but my PC and laptop suddenly don't recognise the device when connected by cable. Bear in mind I did drop my phone in muddy grass (ports got mud-filled) three days earlier, causing latent damage only now seen.
SO b4 I take it for warranty repair need to unroot etc but all methods required a working USB cable ... this method seems to be the answer I need. You agree?
You still need usb for this... you have to have usb debugging on....copy the folder to your computer and click run. It will do the rest with a few keys

So...I have not fully understood the OP's method. I foolishly assumed this procedure didn't require USB connection to my PC (which does not work anymore because PC no longer recognises my device via cable after some likely water damage).
Any idea how I can revert back to stock JB or ICS with a locked bootloader unrooted etc WITHOUT connecting to my PC via cable?? I really need to get this fixed under warranty.
Thanks in advance.
it says "waiting for device" and stops there...why??what can i do??
Learn how to do it the manual way and stop with these IMHO stupid damn toolkits.
Not directed at you or anybody but if you're not capable of installing drivers and unlocking with fastboot etc you have no business to actually have root access/unlocked bootloader etc.
any one can provide me mirrror for both cannot download from 4shared

Hei guys!
I first got a U8800, but there was a voltage problem with the phone and I had to return it. The store's authorized service center sent me a U8800Pro in return. The phone is shipped with Build number: U8800PV100R001C00B042, and I've never seen a ROM from Huawei listet with B042.
The problem is that I can't upgrade from Android 2.2.2 to the offical ROMs from Huawei. It just says "update failed" and a yellow warning triangle appears on the screen.
The 2.2.2 doesn't really work with my phone. Wi-fi and general performance is laggy and slow. Well, wi-fi doesn't work at all (needs 10 mins to download a 600KB file :S, but 3G works well thought").
I've been in contact with the service center but they don't really know what to do. They sent me a guide to unlock the bootloader but fastboot on the PC won't recognize the phone when in pink screen or boot loader screen. There is no "power" option in the "Settings"-menu so can't disable the fastboot option there.
I've searched every forum possible and I've got the proper USB-drivers etc etc etc
Does anybody know what to do?
Cheers
Aleksander

I had the same thought myself, but I don't think the phone is broken. Had to wait four months to get the U8800pro-replacement-phone so I'm postponing it for as long as I can.
Has anyone heard of the B042 ROM or at least how I can use fastboot to unlock it?
If you can't update it I'd say that's broken for me, especially if they don't know how to fix it either. And shouldn't you be able to complain on getting back another phone model than you sent in?
About the other stuff I have no idea, sorry.

He is saying that odin didn't recognize the problem with his usb. Perhaps something that could be improved upon. Could've been explained better though
I has a sig
Dear all,
Clearly odin cannot dommage physicaly a usb cable or we are all together living inside the Matrix.
What i try to explain is that my computer have a usb port not well configured. I try to use odin on this slot and odin they PASS but in fact the flash crash.
I change the port and reuse odin and this time it works.
So the only concern is link to the realiability of odin, the fact that it state that the flash was passed and it was not the case.
This tools works well it's only a warning and not at all a critic against it.

First file still missing, and supersu wont be seen in app-drawer unless you download it from play as well.
Every app who wants su will just hang unless you do that because you cant grant or deny access.
I made total unroot today to figure this out, and that was what I came up with. Everything else failed.
About pictures - You can upload them directly to xda. No need to use another host.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong but when I rebooted the phone in 'download mode' it's stuck, saying "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!". What do I do now? I tried running Odin3 but it just said successful but I'm not sure if anything happened.
Update: I noticed that Odin doesn't recognize my drive so I guess it's just stuck in that 'download mode' and I think I know why. I read that the IMEI needs to be recognized and while this was probably not a smart move I followed this guide to root the phone before I put in my SIM card because I have to break it loose and after that I can't use it in my old phone. Question is, what the hell do I do now? Since it says I can't reboot it and I can't use Odin it's a bit of a dilemma.
Update 2: Nevermind, I had forgotten to update USB drivers and then reboot. Question, is it possible to continue without TriangleAway? They warned about potential bricking the phone and I'm not planning on flashing any ROMs at the moment.

Make sure to go to google playstore and download SuperSU and update it, afterwards just download Triangle Away and use it. I rooted my phone 2 days ago and everything is perfect.

I flashed it with CWM then rooted according to the guide, I don't think I know the difference between firmware or recovery.

Ouch. Your WiFi is broken because he told you to flash a US VZW (XT-907) firmware.
Okay. First, you should try to find a 201M restore file. That will get your WiFi back. Next, since you've got a Dev edition, you can bootloader unlock and install a custom recovery, then flash a root zip

While the link I gave him was unidentified as to warnings to non vzw users (now fixed) , the flashing of vzw sw comes in step 8 clearly he would have had to have pulled it from a xml himself if he even got that far. And if he did it would have been from reading the rzr op. As the bare motochopper has no vzw sw inside.

I didn't get the system img at all. I just wanted to flash the superuser files to /data which I thought would set me up to flash the whole thing with Rom manager.
Anyway, thank you for the help. I am downloading the firmware you linked to now. This guide tells me to edit the XML file and remove the getvar text from it, should this apply here as well? (Edit: Cant post outside links, but I think you get my point)
I'm going to use RSD 6.1.4 to restore the firmware. Any further instructions would be appreciated as I have never done this before.

Don't think you'll need to since it's designed for your device. You can try without the edit and do it if it doesn't work. I'll try to find a guide for RSDLite (been a while since I used it myself - fastboot is usually what I use now...

How do you have a path to the newer sw? Is it your carriers ota? If you can obtain the same in the xml form there is an easy root using a modded ver w/ unlocked phone. The ota.zip could also be useful if you take it while you have root. It resides in /cache.

It wasn't your fault for trying to help, so it's ok. I'm glad a solution existed.
I'm more than willing to answer the questions, but I am a layman here so please explain some things for me: What do you mean by SW? I just installed the update by going into about phone -> system update on Wifi. The carriers here don't even support 3G, much less 4G (So now you know why Wifi was important for me).
The phone came unlocked day one when I bought it from a friend's friend. I don't know if he did it that way or if it comes unlocked because it is the developer edition.
I installed CW Recovery using Fastboot. I installed the incorrect superuser file using Motofail which wrote the superuser file but failed at all other steps. I was then unable to either access or remove this superuser apk file.
Since I am back on 4.0.4. now, what's the easy way to get root access and superuser permissions that you mention? I wish other XT902 owners would post here too, generating interest would really help in getting development support for this phone.

Lol no problem, glad to know it worked. Getting root is actually really simple since you're unlocked. All you need to do is flash a custom recovery and flash a root .zip from there... No exploits required
I can try to write up a guide to that if you want

I tried that, and while it did install superuser, it seemed to have no effect. I couldn't get permissions for any app and using ROM manager's functions would just freeze up that particular application. Any ideas?

Once you root on 404 you can grab your update.zip & copy it to your sd . Any rooting exploit would evolve from that Or the newest xml ver of the 404 you just flashed from rsd. You may be able to request it from your carrier.

You can paste the mods from my vzw restore (no vzw software will be used) into the 404 xml & obtain root from a preinstalled cwmr! Then maintain root with voodoo for your ota.
I will help you just read the op. Link is in my signature.

I used this one. Why? I saw them posted somewhere else as while while doing a little research on using RSD and saw that the mirrors on that other link mentioned JP in the file name - I have the Japanese softbank model so I figured this was the one specific to my phone. Turned out to be right.

Try this. Which recovery are you using? ClockworkMod or TWRP?

I did use this one. It didn't work for me. Clockwork mod always gave an error for writing superuser.apk or something.

Can you upload the xml only ~ 1kb
Hi,
I'm a newbie of this gorgeous forum, i've heard of it many times and so, i decided definitely to create an account.
I Have a Nexus 4, 4.4.2 kitkat with the Build KOT49H and about 2 weeks ago i've accidentally deleted, in explorer, 2,95gb mic records files of the program easyvoice recording. They were very important to me, so i stopped using the phone to avoid the overwrite of the hidden/deleted files.
I tried with two methods:
1) Hexamob File Recovery PRO [NEEDS ROOT] , i haven't got root never on my nexus, so the bootloader isn't unlocked too. I can't unlock it because it will wipe all the memory involving the data folders making a total format like the hard reset does. You could say: Backup it?
It isn't so easy, the files that i've deleted are hidden by the memory in the phone (this is why i'm trying to recover it...), unless i'll download or overwrite it putting other files on it, they will certanly be unrecoverable. I stopped using my telephone in order to find a solution to my problem.
So, i've forgot this way to recover my files, and the mean question i ask to you is: Can i root my device in order to use Hexamob without the wipe process?
2) Recuva, Dr Fone Wondershare for Android, Data Recovery, Restoration... ecc ecc
I even tryied to use Windows Softwares such as the mentioned above. But... "luckily" for me, how you should know, many Nexus upgraded with 4.4.2 reports bugs with cable connection with PCs.
Example: when i try to copy all the pictures to windows it give me strange errors ("The library, drive, or media pool is empty.") and i have to copy one to one files per time.
So all the softwares doesn't find the "Nexus 4 MASS STORAGE". I've tried reinstalling automatically and manually drivers many times. Nothing work.
I've only three possibilities to return to use my nexus. Or i wait a google update in order to solve the cable connection bugs, or i wait in april a Dr Fone Wondershare for Android Software Update release compatible with 4.4.2, or i ask to you, my only concrete salvation.
Thanks a lot to all. Really.
Hate to tell you this, but you're sol. You're unlocked, unrooted, and you can't mount the device as a drive letter on the pc. I'd check with the app that's going to be updated in April, but I'm guessing it's not going to work anyway. Let them know you have a nexus 4, I don't think it can do usb mass storage

Subject:Android 4.4.2 for Nexus 4
I have a Nexus 4 with Android 4.4.2 and recently i've deleted very important files and i tryed to use Wondershare for Android to recover it.
It can't well notice my phone because after the second step, it begins by analyzing and at 20% say "The model isn't recognised" and it stop working by restarting the phone.
Please, can you release a version of this software compatible with NEXUS 4 with Android 4.4.2 ?
It is very important for me, i can't use it unless you do it..
Thanks, really thanks, you could save me!

How you've read they didn't mentioned about NEXUS 4 with 4.4.2, but i think the understood. I'm going to write another email in order to point out "specifying" that i'm using NEXUS 4.
Are you sure, i haven't no other solutions...? :crying:
Thanks..
I don't think so if you're not rooted. I'm trying out Dr fone for my own education, but I'm rooted and it seems to be working. It'll take awhile and I might try it unrooted too. I'll let you know what I find out.

If you're rooted it works better than I expected it to. But as you know, if you're not rooted it doesn't work. It's asking for usb mass storage which asfaik the nexus 4 doesn't support. I don't think even the update will be able to get around that limitation sorry

...i should have expected it...
Sorry but, if i try DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582
Will it work?
Or can you suggest me what i should wait to solve my problem? Maybe DooMLoRD or other developer will release a toolik that will be able to root without unlock the 4.4.2 in 2-3 moths maybe, isn't it possible?
so i'll take my file....
Other solutions? There aren't?
Thanks..

Any root method involves unlocking the bootloader first. As you know that wipes your device. If there were away to get around that it would have already been done
