I looked around and couldnt find a post that acctually answered my question. I'm a noob to the forum so if i missed it i appologise. i was wanting to do a factory reset on my bionic .902. However i wasnt sure if the .893 one click will work with the .902. I used titanium backup to uninstall a few things which has caused a force close on my factory text messaging. i have done a built in factory reset it changes nothing. i did not sync so titanium backup wouldnt change the settings i still get force close. basically i want to restore and start over. i would appreciate any help you can give me.
R3l3as3droot and for3v3r root can take you back to stock 886. You may want to try that. You will have to get back up to date afterwards but it should solve your problem.

How would I restore my Captivate completely back to stock - as if I were to just purchase it and pull it out of the box?
The situation is I uninstalled some apps with titanium backup and it wouldn't let me reinstall them or restore them. My swype lags and freezes the phone, it was actually doing that before I played with the AT&T apps - but now I need to get it back to stock so I can take it in for a replacement. Or, if taking it back to stock would fix swype then things would be fine.
How do I get all the original applications back on the device and get things back to normal so the people at AT&T do not notice it was played with and try and blame the swype issue on me?
I appreciate it!
You can restore the /system directory to stock.

That is the best we can do until the stock rom comes out.
I had a situation in which i was stuck in FC situation loop...nonstop. Made it to settings and factory reset in between FC's and fixed my problem. Had previously booted into recovery to reset and i believe this to be the source of corruption.

ODIN from Designgears is the way to go....
My program AIO Captivate tools has the restore to stock option in it. Here's the link.
EDIT: Holy Craptivate! This is an ancient thread.

@rockosifraidi, Why do you keep resurrecting ancient threads? This is your third one...This is just as annoying as someone posting a question in the dev forum....

Follow this link: http://www.psouza4.com/Droid3/PetesMotorolaRootTools_v1.05.zip
Download the Pete Motorola Tools, this now has an option to unroot, as well as root again if you need it
NOTE: Do not use "restore /system/app" It is *only* for the Droid 3.
NOTE #2: This does not restore renamed/deleted apps. If you want to return it to complete stock, re-add or re-rename the app you deleted or renamed before unrooting.
Again, we still have no SBF, so all returning to stock methods will have to be manual for now.
Excellent thanks for this
is this a temporary make shift unroot method? or a fully functional....as if we had an SBF file type unrooting.
It's makeshift in the fact that it's not a complete system restore, as explained above. For that, we'll need a full SBF.
So in other words, the Verizon warranty is still void. I feel like this is the main reason why people un-root.

If you haven't *deleted* anything, or if you un-freeze everything *before* you un-root, then it will bring your phone to complete stock. What this doesn't do is restore your system if you've deleted or frozen apps. All of these precautions must be taken *before* un-rooting.
Once that's taken care of, un-rooting will bring your phone back to how it was before it was rooted and hence, your warranty will be back in tact (for all the Verizon reps know, technically your warranty is still void)
Does anyone have a list if stock apps? I know I deleted Kindle, NFL, & Blockbuster. But I cannot remember what else I may have deleted. {{YIKES}}

Does anybody know how to restore "Guided Tours 2.3.4". I made a backup of this app, but now it won't restore in TB. It just hangs. I've tried restoring as just the app, and with app and data.
Any info is appreciated.
will this stop my Bionic from boot looping on start up? all i did is root so i can restore my Apps. i didnt even do data just the apps and when phone reboots its nightmarish string of boot loops till i factory wipe. i have no clue why its doing it. 3 days of hell for me.
also dont forget to do factory reset
also dont forget to do factory reset!

I am also looking to restore Guided Tours & News. If I unboot, can I get my phone back to stock even if I've deletex Guided Tours & News?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
Let me know if this is correct. If I remove apps, then un root. can I re root, replace apps, then un root again to be back to stock?
Thanks in advance if anyone knows for sure.
Does this work on Windows XP? Pete's Root Tools are listed under Windows 7.
I see this is an old thread. I need to unroot to return to Verizon. I rooted .902 with Motofail and wondering if I could use Pete's to unroot. No apps removed just froze. I need to send this back tomorrow. Thank You

Hey, so I rooted my Bionic yesterday and everything went well. I started deleting the bloatware with Titanium Backup, then I realized I should ahve been just freezing them instead.
Should I unroot it and reset the phone? Will that bring all the bloatware back for me to freeze once I root it again?
Thanks!
You can purchase the TBH app and debloat and rebloat as needed.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
Doesn't the TBH app just change your apks to have a bak extension? I don't think it will reinstall them if you deleted them, it will only undo the change. However, flashing the fxz will put them all back if you really need them.

Read the stickies in the dev forum. You will not get your files back without running the FXZ (new SBF) and resetting to factory new. Team Black Hat app will not doing anything to apps you deleted.
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.
Someone out there has to have this!
....I hope

Wont it fail because I'm not coming from stock? And if I go all the way back it wont work because ill end up with a hybrid?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
I'm in the same situation. Yes, all attempts to upgrade fail because our sys filed don't match our radio. I need this nandroid as well.

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'm in the same boat here too. I hope someone can find a way to fix it soon. I'd really appreciate a backup too, but I understand the concern about data.

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.
So I rooted my Bionic.
Then installed titanium back up. And then backed everything up.
Then I committed the mistake in uninstalling some bloatware and then I read that some people are not getting updates due to deleting the apps and not freezing them.
I said...FUUUUUU there goes ICS!!!!
So I went back in, did a restore app+data and still some didn't come back.
I restored them manually and I thought...It's all good now.
But no.... I have crossed out in titanium back up the following two files.
com.android.music
No back up yet
and
com.pv.android.verzion.mod
No back up yet
I cant get them to "uncross".
Does anyone know anything of these two apps...and if so, Am I still screwed?
Thanks
If someone does not provide you with them, you can always just FXZ back to stock 902. I'm on ICS so I can't get them.
