Returning rooted phone

As a quick FYI, I've returned two rooted Revolutions to Verizon with clockwork and both went through just fine. Anyone been charged for returning a rooted phone?

returned my bricked rooted+rom'd LG ally without a problem.

Does anyone have the bloatware that came with this device? I will be shipping back my revo to Verizon in exchange for another phone, and I'm back on the stock room, but I'm missing bloatware. Also, how can I get the stock boot image back? I think they'll realize I was rooted when they see the Droid boot animation lol .

If you have a back up from when you first rooted it should give you the stock boot.img. Then flash the stock rom found in the dev section. Then using revotoolkit.apk reinstall stock recovery. Then gingerbreak to unroot. Then update to zv6 from the about phone area and you should be good to go.

crap...
I formatted my SD card recently, and kept my latest backup , but not my original
Is there anything I can do in regards to the boot.img?
Could someone be kind of enough to make a CWR zip file for me?
I'll even pay you $5 bucks or whatever sounds good.

My recommendation would be to flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129117
If it gives you the option to update, perhaps you should try that, and it may unroot your phone.
As far as CWM, I doubt the clerks are going to play with recovery... (that's not a guarantee, however).
If you are really desperate and scared, you should use the VZW tool for reflashing the phone, but I AM NOT RECOMMENDING IT. The tool has been known to do bad things to phones that need expert help to undo if not done properly (not only that, it's a pain in the arse).

Can I flash the boot image from that nandroid?
I was going to use the tool to run the downgrade again but I keep getting errors that I was not getting when I first rooted the phone. Mostly .msi installer package errors when selecting the .tot file.

If its in there it should be fine. If not i can make a zip of the stock boot.img when i get home but it will be about 7 central time.

I don't think the boot image was included with the earlier ROMs. I *probably* have a few boot images from when I was working with Cubed on CWR, but I don't know which is which, and some of those actually can cause bricks. Boot image was p8? I don't even remember now.
As far as selecting the .tot file, it requires the support files... They come with the LGNPST Store & Lab... they would look like:
LGNPST_GenericModels_Ver_3_0_17_0.msi
I'm not positive which one is the right one as it's been a long time. Sorry this is vague, but I went through the process once, and then never again.
The person whose phone we recovered through this method had an issue after the flash where everything looked kosher, but the data would no longer work (no 3g, 4g, etc), and required Cubed's intervention to repair. So I haven't touched it since.

-mtmichaelson, thanks man, i'll just wait for you to be safe! I can wait. I'll buy you some brewski's.
-Majorpay: Yeah, I'm not too sure I want to play around with that program lol. It worked perfectly when I first rooted the phone, although I had to manually register the .dll but now it doesn't work at all.
Thanks again for all the help guys! ****, you guys have great support for this small Revo community.

Zv4 to zv7 update discussion

I thought I might open this up since I didn't see it anywhere. Anyway, ill start with my side.
I was on revolt 1.5 (big thanks mtm) and had a haphazard way of getting to zv7. Anyway, I restored stock without wiping, both system and boot.img from thecubeds original factory band, started up fine. Then used revotoolkit to restore stock recovery, downloaded the update and updated sucessfully. I then rooted with the esteem method, free and clear, and restored, among other things, my apps with data that I backed up in ti. Everything was generally fine, with minor hiccups from restoring app data so just manually wiped data from problem apps one by one. After that, gingervolt had come out and I figured that if I flash it over my current setup, worse case scenario I go back and wipe data and install from scratch. But, as luck had it, after taking awhile to rebuild the dalvik cache, everything was fine and dandy.
So how did yours go? Any stories or experiences? Thought this would be good for general discussion and as insight for everyone.

yes tell all as I have heard going right from v4 to v7 was a no go.

You beat me to the punch...I was on Revolt 1.5 and loving it but I want GB. So I downgraded to the stock rooted nandroid backup found here. I went to settings> about phone> software update and...nothing. I tried a few times, I waited for awhile and nothing. I then flashed the z4 tot file, nothing, I updated the z6 file and rooted that and nothing (see a pattern?) I am currently running the Z6 rooted file.
Any help would be appriciated. By the way mtmichaelson you are the man.

I think we are all in the same boat Verizon hasn't uploaded the update to the servers we can download from for now I'm staying stock rooted with stock recovery until they push the update to me so that i can install it when it gets here basically the only thing we can do is wait

My impressions
I was patient and stuck with a CWM/rooted stock V4 ROM.
I uses MT's ROM stock and followed instructions and upgraded through OTA to GB without a hitch. I also erased the internal SD to remove any gremlins from past experimentation.
I used his root zip and it when without a hitch except for the CWM recovery not sticking after reboot.
I notice that the audio output is louder, not one single crash or forced close, faster 4G and GPS, and faster charging. I plan to wait to see how the custom ROMs perform before flashing it and hopefully the CWM issue will be resolved soon.
We all need to thank everyone who has made this possible!

Just curious, what part of the country are you guys in that can't get the update?

I can't get the update and I'm in central California.

As far as secrets, I cant think of many hidden things I did. A little more detailed though, I had revolt 1.5, backed up everything, and didnt wipe any data.
I went to cwr, made a nand backup, and without wiping anything went straight to flash thecubed's root nandroid rip with advanced restore, with the stock system.img and boot.img, and that booted fine.
Then in android, I used revotoolkit to flash the stock recovery, and I think its this step that at least partially 'allows' the update. I guess something where it checks what is installed to check if there's an update.
Then I got the update prompt for zv6, and it updated fine, although it wasnt rooted afterward. Shortly after, I got another update and it updated to zv7 and 2.3.4, still unrooted. Although my apps were still there, some had issues from remnants of data from froyo, like force closes. So I manually, selectively deleted data in 'manage apps' as I found problem apps.
Then I used the esteem root to root it, and after finding the working, updated one it went fine.
After that, gingervolt came out, and although it was warned to wipe data strenuously before switching, I figured that if I at least made a nandroid before flashing anything, then the worst case scenario if flashing gingervolt over stock gb turned out to fail, I could either wipe data anyway and reflash like normal, or by some crazy chance it'd work, and I just got lucky when it worked. It just took a good 5-7 minutes to boot I presume because it has to rebuild the dalvik cache (based on what/how many apps you have?) and here we are. I hope this explains more so others may have success stories.

It may have to do, like I put above, with putting stock recovery + boot + system.img from stock zv4. Try that if you can and report the results if it deems beneficial.

And I completely have to agree haha. After updating and rooting, I got instant gps lock, have yet to have any fc's or reboot besides the usual routines, and I know Ill have to post a ss to prove it but I was able to get consistent 20-30mbps down with a single 42mbps down speedtest on the speedtest.net app, when before even on a great day it would peak at 16mbps. Loving gingerbread, especially since (coming from a droid) its on a phone meant to handle gb. Afaik, gb's mem manager was more built for 512mb+ (correct me if Im wrong), although it manages everything so much better. As good as gb is on my OG droid, there are a good # of screen redraws lol.

I started from Revolt 1.5. I made a NAND banckup, then got rid of CWM with RevoToolKit. Flashed the v6 tot file with LGNPST, updated to GB OTA, then rooted with mt's script. All-in-all it was pretty painless. I didn't do a data/cache wipe until I went to put on Gingervolt.

Odd. On Halloween, in Cerritos, I reverted to stock and got immediate zv6 upgrade download without even going to settings. zv7 came automatically too.
The only thing I can think of is my phone has never been on vz6 before. Are the people who are having trouble ones who downgraded from zv6 to 4 and then rooted?

[NEEDED] 6.893 100% stock backup

Does anyone have a backup of 6.893?
Typically I am very diligent, but somehow I forgot to make a backup of stock.
I have not switched to any other update. I have read through everything thoroughly and I apologize for failing to follow instructions. With 5 android devices and multiple flashes I have never missed this before. And I realized it as soon as I flashed TH3ORYS rom
From what I gather the easiest and most effective way to get back on track is to flash a stock 6.893 rom make a backup and move on from there.
I appreciate anyone's help!
I am also open to using this thread or creating one in delopment to post the stock roms of every version.

Not entirely true. His system will be back to 5.5.886, but his kernel/radio will be his previously upgraded 5.6.893. He is off the upgrade path until he gets the matching system file of 5.6.893. Only then can he continue updating. I just went through this exact thing, used the one step recovery, but went back to .886 and had to beg to find someone to send me a CWR back up of their 5.6.893, which got me back on track.

Oh yeah...nevermind. I completely thought you were wanting stock not the ota. That's what I get for speed reading.

I'm afraid I dont, I got back to 5.6.893 then immediately upgraded to 5.7.893 and backed that up, since .6.893 was no good to me any more. I'm sorry.

Giving someone a backup made on your device or restoring a backup made on someone else's device is an extremely foolhardy proposition. You are cloning the Android_id from one device to the other, which means that apps that use it as an identifier will push and pull data from both devices without any intervention from the unknowingly affected user.

correct me if im wrong but, all we need is the system img right because im stuck with a hybrid

Does anyone know if restoring my 5.893 back up will work, or create a hybrid? I ask because I think it is the same radios?

Check your pms and please don't share in case there is some of my data still left in the backup. just download all the files and put them in a folder and put in your clockwork backup folder on your sd/ext, probably the best way is to restore with advanced restore and just restore system only.

I have really been through the ringer today. I started off this morning by noticing that I had no data at all. I was on 6.893 and TH3ORYROM 2.1 and have been for a few days with no trouble until today when I lost data. I tried everything to get it back, but nothing. I called VZW to make sure there wasn't a network problem in my area and they suggested that I try everything that I had already done (bat. pull, sim card re-register, turn off LTE radio, etc). When they couldn't fix anything, they wanted to transfer me to tier 2 tech support, but they apparently need to talk to me on a different phone so they can diagnose this one, but I didn't have access to another phone. So I decided I would try to flash one of the updates hoping it would reflash the radio file and wake it up. When I got home, I used the R3L3AS3DRoot to restore to stock and tried to install 7.893, but the update failed. I searched around and tried every method I could to get any of the updates to install, but nothing worked, still no 3g either. Eventually, in my desperate attempt to fix this myself I decided to wipe everything and start over. I wiped the webtop partition. I think that's what really screwed me up, because nothing else I did was any different that what I've done in the past. After wiping everything, I went back to the R3L3AS3DRoot and tried to run it. No matter which option I selected, it seemed to run fine, but I couldn't boot past the fastboot screen. I tried to fxz using RSD Lite, but every flash I tried failed. Then, in a panic, I came across P3's moto-fastboot method used to "get you back on the update path". I ran that and it freaking worked!! Then I figured I'd try to get up to 7.893, but I've tried absolutely everything I can find mention of and nothing works. Every install fails. I am getting some intermittent 3G now though. And to top it all off, I discovered that none of the nandroid backups I've made will restore and most of them don't even exist. I just discovered that I needed to check "use external storage" for the backups to take. I thought I had been covering my ass by making backups, but they weren't valid. Currently I have stock, rooted phone with an intermittent 3G signal. System Version 5.5.886, baseband CDMA_N_03.1C.57RLTEDC_U_05.15.02, kernel [email protected] #1, and build number 5.5.1_84_DBN-55. As I sit now, my plan is to see how it acts tomorrow and if I still have a lot of trouble with data, I will return it to stock unrooted and take it into a Verizon store and see if they will let me try a new SIM card. I don't really know what else to do at this point.

The latest issue she is having is her Streak will stop charging and not recognize the cable plugged in use until you finally force it to reboot.
She is running an update rooted version of the official honey comb. I am running the same ROM just rooted.

Those are just bugs of the Honeycomb build that some of us have that were never solved. My best advice is to just flash stock recovery and do a factory reset from there. If that doesn't help flash the ROM again

My best advice is to naturally back up all your apps with Titanium or MyBackUp Pro.... if she has a gmail account then all her contacts will be there automatically
With MyBackUp Pro you can also backup all your text messages I believe.
But it's honestly not that bad of a deal. The whole shebang takes only about 30 minutes between flashing and restoring everything to how it was

[Q] Help with gingervolt 2.0

Hello, I dont know where the help forums are for the lg revolution and it wont let me post for some odd reason so hopefully here, i can ask for help, and not get banned x3.
So im tring to flash gingervolt 2.0 and well, it's not working. Ive tried updating from gingervolt 1.3, adding the 2.1 version of blitzkrieg and a theme. But the problem here is. It just goes to the LG screen then turns off and vibrates again going to the same screen. When i get very lucky it boots into the boot animation and into the device. But some parts freeze if i try to do something and sometimes the boot animation freezes. If anyone knows about this problem or think they can help. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Also i don't want to use stock or gingervolt 1.3, i think 2.09 is so much faster so i'm not wanting to be recommended on another version or another Rom. Thanks.

Restore your back up and try re downloading and trying again

Yes i wiped data. I followed all of the directions. Also i dont like stock at all, are you saying i should try from that. I did that to.

I agree that going back to stock GB would probably be the best solution. Then just start over from scratch

I didn't wipe data before flashing. But it's most likely better off to do it like Kane said and also starting from a Stock GB then flashing GV 2.0

Hi all,
I'm new here, and couldn't find any references to this specific problem, but this thread appears to be vaguely related. I'm GV 1.3 and just tired to update to 2.0. CWM makes it appear as though the update worked, but when I restart the phone, Settings --> About Phone still shows it's on GV 1.3. I tried the update twice; the first time, I chose "Reboot phone" from the CWM menu after installation, and the second time, I powered down. Same result both time.
Per the instructions, I did NOT wipe data, since I was already on GV 1.3.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks!

Thanks spc hicks09
after reading previous posts I was suddenly curious why my revo said 1.3 when it should have said 2.0

Hi all,
I'm new here, and couldn't find any references to this specific problem, but this thread appears to be vaguely related. I'm GV 1.3 and just tired to update to 2.0. CWM makes it appear as though the update worked, but when I restart the phone, Settings --> About Phone still shows it's on GV 1.3. I tried the update twice; the first time, I chose "Reboot phone" from the CWM menu after installation, and the second time, I powered down. Same result both time.
Per the instructions, I did NOT wipe data, since I was already on GV 1.3.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks!

You should be fine. The name was not changed in the file. There are many posts about in the gv 2.0 thread.

Oh, that might explain a lot then. Other than the build number, is there any indication that I'm on 2.0 now? The animated startup graphic is the same as it was before.

If you can overclock without flashing the kernel then you're good. 1.3 didn't have the kernel implemented.

I wouldn't know how to overclock my phone if it smacked me in the face...
I was having some trouble with Bluetooth, so I went back to GV 1.3 and checked the build number. When that didn't help and I ended up having to factory reset my phone to get BT working again, I went back to GV 2.0 again, and noticed a different kernel build number. I guess that's one way to tell that I'm on 2.0. I can't tell any difference in how it works otherwise, though.

Battery problems
Has anyone else had any problems with the battery dying fast after switching to gingervolt 2.0? Since updating from gingervolt 1.3 to 2.0 my battery has been dying significantly faster (from 100% at 7:30am to 20% at 9:30pm with hardly any use and yes I have the extended battery). I am using rom toolbox and have the cpu set to Max: 1305Mhz and Min: 576Mhz with the governor set on smoothass (this was also set on 1.3 with no issues). My phone also will occasionally freeze and reboot at random times. I also noticed that it seems to lag when opening certain apps. Verizon tried to push an update to my phone which thankfully did not go through but i was able to go into the system files and change the system/lib/libme_main.so and change it to system/lib/libme_main.so.bak. That seemed to stop the update from trying to install. I also went to etc/security/otacerts.zip and added .bak to the end. Doing this accomplished nothing and now it wont allow me to remove the .bak from the end of the file. I love gingervolt 2.0 when it is working properly and hope I can get it to run smoothly. If anyone has any suggestions please share.
