Hello everyone, Im in desperate need of a sprint zio rom dump. A while back i uninstalled the default home screen as i have been using launcher pro for a few months or so. It seems that when i did this, it removed it from the recovery image also. After performing a hard reset on my phone this afternoon the phone boots up without a home screen and im unable to open any programs or anything. Can someone please help with a .img file or update.zip dump of the current or old sprint rom. I cant find one anywhere through my countless hours of searching the net. The recovery mode only lists the wipe options and does not show any kind of update from zip. The cricket clockwork method listed wont boot giving an incomplete rom error.
The lack of support for the sprint version is quite depressing. Their site does not give any kind of downloads either as it only states to run the OTA update using the homescreen.
Thanks alot goes out in advance to those that can help me with my tough situation!
If anyone has a working 2.2 rom for sprint they can boot our recovery and backup then copy the backup folder from clockworkmod from their SD and upload it. If you only need Launcher2 I can send it to you.

i have launcher2 and a backup of every other apk on my sd card. My problem is i have no way of installing them back onto the phone. The hard reset has turned off usb developer mode and im stuck. The only method i can see to repair this is using fastboot and dropping the sprint image back on top. I tried creating my own update.zip and running it using the android tool but unfortunately this method was only for os upgrades hence why i am here stuck without a solution.
Use adb with USB debugging or terminal emulator and push the files to /system/app
Example my files are in the root of my SD card
In adb shell or terminal emulator, su for root access. Then type "cat /sdcard/appname.apk > /system/app/appname.apk" then type "chmod 0644 /system/app/appname.apk"
Then reboot and see what happens.

How can i use adb if usb debugging is not enabled and there is no way to turn it on? To be clear my phone boots directly to a black screen with no home screen. I have no way to get the to system menu. The only thing i have is the notification bar at the top and the search does not work. I dont get any notification that a call is incomming but i do with txt msgs as it shows in the notification bar.
I need a bootloader, fastboot, or a recovery method that will allow me to install the apk again. Booting to the os is useless.
Your USB debugging should have been turned on a long time ago aswell as unknown sources. Hopefully someone with sprint 2.2 can use openzio's clockworkmod to backup their system.img then you can use fastboot to flash the system.img

"After performing a hard reset on my phone this afternoon the phone boots up without a home screen and im unable to open any programs or anything. "
The hard reset unchecked this setting as its never been on by default.
I really do hope someone can help me out here. Im stuck with a fix in reach just need the files
You need to use fastboot to flash the system.img
If you can't enable USB debugging you cannot use adb to push any files. Did you ever use openzio's recovery to perform a backup?

Solved - What i did to enable dev mode again was simple. I uploaded an apk to my own website and sent the url to my phone via txt msg. I opened the url and it said i need to enable Unknown sources and presented me with a beautiful shortcut . Once i got in i was able to enable usb debugging and unknown sources allowing me to use adb once again. Thanks for your help and i hope this post will be useful to someone in the future.
Im still in need of that rom dump if anyone can please provide.
Best I got is a stock 2.1 Sprint ROM from when we were trying to port it to Cricket.
Let me know if u want that.
That would work just fine, please share?
Idea... flash stock 2.1 rom. Update to 2.2 if sprint has the OTA 2.2 update, then if possible use openzio's recovery to backup using nandroid. That way you have a stock 2.2 system.img to use to save your phone from disaster.

If you flash 2.2 from ADB it will work... but some people are having issues with PRL/ESN and stuff not being read

You will actually need to use fastboot to flash the images.
"fastboot erase system"
"fastboot flash system system.img"
"fastboot erase userdata"
"fastboot flash userdata data.img"
"fastboot erase cache"
"fastboot reboot"

Hi, i've decided to jump off the official rom and go to custom, i've decided to go with MIUI
I just wanted to ask a few questions.
After looking on the website, i found out that it comes with its own recovery, do I have to install this to get OTA updates? or could I just install updates with my own recovery image? (I have 4EXT)
Also, is there any other good roms you recommend?
I also don't want to jump into changing partitions (yet)
EDIT: I have made a nandroid backup and i'm ready to go, I just wanted to ask, I currently have the rom GRJ22, I had a look on the internet for it and on this forum and I have downloaded the image incase I want to revert it
the file I have is called: "PASSIMG_Passion_Google_WWE_3.10.1700.1_GRJ22_release_signed.zip" Is this right? it was from shipped-roms.com
After looking on my phone the 3.10... part is the build number, mine is 3.11... does this make a difference?
Make a nandroid backup before you flash.
That's it.
OOPS double post
I have, I just want to make sure that I can get the rom my phone is running now
but I think I might just flash now as its only the build number thats different. specified in my first post. I have also seen that the recovery doesn't matter
Ok then, I am going to flash this rom now but I have a small problem
I have 4EXT as my recovery, when I select recovery when I turn my phone on (Power + trackball) I get a picture of an android and an exclamation mark
I know I have recovery, as I can load it through the 4EXT app, how EXACTLY do I access it through the other menu, as I would need this incase somthing goes wrong
Ok then. I tried going into my bootloader again so i reflashed it.
After this it worked. So i waited for my phone to load up then i tried again and it diddnt work!
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
If you get the android with the question mark, it means your recovery got reverted back to stock. You no longer have 4EXT on there. You will need to reflash it before you can do anything else.
Why does it keep reverting. How can i stop it?

Just tried it again and the same thing happened on the second load. Whats happening?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Because you didn't listen, and didn't make nandroid backup, but tried flashing a stock ROM instead. It overwrites the recovery. Not a smart move - you don't have custom recovery anymore, and need to reflash it.
You might want to spend some more time reading and understanding, what nandroid backup does, what flashing a ROM does, and why you shouldn't be flashing stock ROMs unless you want your phone completely back to stock.

The ROM comes with it's own recovery, which would explain why this is happening. Make sure you read the entire thread for that ROM. The best way to get into recovery on a MIUI ROM is through the MIUI power button.

Ok, I don't know if my messages I posted were understood so i'll do it again
I am on the STOCK rom atm and am trying to go onto MIUI
After flashing 4EXT, I reboot my phone and load up the recovery, which works for the first time, after my phone boots up, I turn it off and try it again and it loads to the stock recovery
All I want is to find out why it does this and fix it so I can install custom roms, as I dont really trust it as if somthing goes wrong then i'm stuck
I was thinking it could be because my bootloader is still locked or the OS reflashes it on bootup but that was just a guess
When you are running stock, anytime you reboot, the stock OS checks the recovery, and if it is not the stock recovery, it reflashes it. There are files you have to remove to prevent this from happening, but I can't remember which ones they are.

Recently, I have been doing some research on android os development trying to figure out a way to get android 4.0(ICS) successfully running on LG Thrill. I see that it's possible from this YouTube video http://youtu.be/YjEDY5yh90M BUT I have a few questions regarding some info found during my research. The Galaxy Nexus is equipped with a TI OMAP 4460/Dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A9 chipset/CPU and the Thrill is equipped with a TI OMAP 4430/Dual-core 1 GHz Cortex-A9 chipset/CPU. The difference between the two are explained in detail here http://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-texas-instruments-omap-4430-and-vs-4460/ Other differences between these two devices are display, bluetooth hardware, wlan hardware, camera. Can an experienced Dev give me some input on whether I'm in over my head or on to something?
I have an sgs2 and would be interested in helping port ROMS over to the thrill but don't know enough to really get started...
I have been trying to get ICS on the thrill using this guide bit.ly/NCledu and ended up with this bit.ly/NrZ3YY It won't boot, but I was hoping an experienced developer could work with what I have.

I'm trying to get into the fastboot boot loader to see if my compiled ics will work on the thrill. I'm following the steps on the android source website which says
To flash a device, you will need to use fastboot, which should be included in your path after a successful build. Place the device in fastboot mode either manually by holding the appropriate key combination at boot, or from the shell with
Code:
$ adb reboot bootloader
Once the device is in fastboot mode, run
Code:
$ fastboot flashall -w
The -w option wipes the /data partition on the device; this is useful for your first time flashing a particular device, but is otherwise unnecessary.
I need to get into fastboot to flash it. I have CWM installed also.
i think you can just use CWM recovery

Nahh. No nightly has ever been compiled for P925. None will be expected until official ICS drops.
As for compiling, if you have an img to flash using fastboot, you're out of luck since fastboot does not work on the O3D/Thrill. What you can do is loop mount the img in Linux, extract the files and put them in a zip file, set up the necessary updater-script and flash it using CWM. It should do the same as doing fastboot.

well in those past two years you have updated to the .13d spl and this a hacked up spl to give you more ram. it isn't fully s-off but rather you are limited.
not sure what you have done to your phone so I can't tell you how to fix it. my suggestion would be to fastboot -w or superwipe from recovery, then flash your rom again (and whatever kernel or mods you want to) also maybe stay away from rom mangaer and also movd to amonra recovery. again only suggestions being I don't know what you did you may as well start fresh

well you can flash the new recovery via terminal emulator if you want, or you can attempt to do it with rom manager (not a big fan of rom manager, kinda sucks)
superwipe scripts can be flashed via recovery (cw or amonra) flashing the rom again in recovery
again not sure what you did, you only said what dosent work, this should make your root apps work
just wiping clean and and a clean install of the rom should make them work

My old sd card went bad so I had to replace it with a new one. I also clicked on the github link he has posted in the forum and I downloaded amonra_bootable_recovery folder/file as a zip. Should I also update the SPL?
Sent from the Redlight District.
well updating your recovery doesn't have much to do with updating your spl but it doesn't mean you shouldn't
the most updated spl for the dream is the .13d
if you have something else then I suggest it as you get acess to additional ram if you do (~14mb)
if you do make sure you first have the appropriate radio or you could brick your phone, either the .25 or the .08 are the only radios that work with the .13d spl
to check what you have right now, power on while holding the camera button

you have the most updated radio and spl, although with the .13d hboot you can not flash a new recovery via fastboot, but you should still be able to via terminal emulator or if you can find the proper image in a .zip and be flashed through your current recovery. of course you should also be able to flash an alternative (amonra) recovey with rom manager. choose whatever way is easier.
and remember that flashing amonra recovery is only a suggestion and will not by itself fix your problem, I just prefer it over clockwork on the g1
mostly you should be concerned with backing up what is needed, wipeing fully, and the flashing a new rom

like isaid earlier you have the best spl for the dream, the only downfall is the semi s-on. but this is only in the fastboot sense, it isn't true s-on and with th is spl you can still have root
easiest way to boot to recovery (if rom allows) hold power, choose reboot, choose reboot recovery. you can also reboot recovery via adb (adb reboot recovery) or various apps allow this too
if this is to much info, power off. then power on while holding the home button

Hello, I installed cm nightly 10.2 (spr version) , but when it boots gives a "fatal" error: the process com.android.phone has stopped.
(to solve the problem I have tried to re-flash the boot.img from fastboot as suggested somewhere)
but it got worst... no access to the device to flash back the old rom, a recover from twrp 2.6... nothing ....
unfortunately now I am "completely paralized..."
I have lost adb (phone not recognized...) and usb-otg is not mounting my external emergency USB (with my recoveries on it...)
I think I need to either get usb-otg to work or adb to recognize my phone...
is a matter of ADB new driver? where I can find the latest??
or a way to make the 10.2 working....
some suggestion??
THANKS in advance !!!
the latest adb can be found in the android SDK. if you dont want to do that theres a fairly recent adb.exe in this package, i believe drivers are there also. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236814
