I people!
I wanted to install the official update on my ICS 4 Incredible S that has the ClockworkMod recovery with the superuser and is S-ON.
I made an official OTA update but when I rebooted the phone it locks and stays with the symbol android with a triangle with an exclamation .The phone is unlocked by HTCDev.com. I am back to putting everything as it was with the ClockworkMod recovery. Can you help me to perform the update? Thank you for your attention.
The reference in HBOOT will attach.

In order to apply the OTA you will need to return to a fully stock state. Locked bootloader and replace ClockworkMod with the stock HTC Recovery.

Thanks I'll try and see what happens, then I say anything.
Thank you

I have just been through this too.
Firstly I'd say be careful, ICS for me was not good - bluetooth connections were very fragile (sometimes did not auto-connect when the other device was turned on, and then when it did connect, the phone did not disconnect when the other device turned off. At this point trying to go into the phone bluetooth menu to cycle bluetooth off or manually disconnect caused the phone to crash. I even performed a factory re-set and it was the same)
But if you want to go ahead anyway, it's possible you may also need to have a standard system (un-rooted). Before I performed my update I flashed a standard system.img with fastboot. I'm not saying you will have to do this for sure, but for me since I was already flashing standard recovery.img with fastboot it was no bother to also restore the system.img - so it's just something you can try if your update doesn't work.

Along with the system.img file, you should have also flashed the lib.img file. That may be the cause of the flaky issues you are having with BT connections.

Thanks for the info. I am interseted in your comment both to learn a little more about the software structure and also because it opens up an avenue where I may re-attempt the ICS upgrade. So for these reasons, please allow me to ask:
- Do you mean I should have flashed lib.img before the update? I suppose I must ask what exactly is the lib.img?
The reason I didn't was, as I was running from a standard HTC rom as a base, I was under the impression that I'd only need to revert the parts that I had changed..... which (I thought) were the system (because I rooted) and the recovery (because I'd flashed 4ext)... to bring the phone back to standard trim.
- Are you saying that I might still have ended up with a 'non-standard' lib.img prior to the ICS upgrade? and if so which process (the rooting, installing recovery, or the boot unlocking) causes that?
- Also for this to be the potential cause of problems after the ICS upgrade, that supposes that the ICS upgrade would not have included a 'fresh' lib.img. Without knowing what img.lib is I don't know if this is this likely.. anyone?

OK, I think I misunderstood at which point you flashed the system.img. I thought you had flashed the ICS system.img manually to force the OTA, not that you had flashed the system.img from the RUU/ROM you were currently running. My mistake.
Anyway, since you are eager to learn, hopefully this will give you some answers to your questions. Please reference this diagram from the BlackRose 2.02.0002 thread and perhaps my comments will make more sense.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22789898&postcount=2
If you look at the contents of a RUU/ROM.zip file, you will notice that it contains various img files such as system.img, radio.img, recovery.img, boot.img, etc.
These represent partition of Android. Beginning with GB 2.3.5/Sense 3.0 ROMs, HTC decided to split the system.img into 2 parts, system.img and lib.img.
From the diagram, you can see that lib.img file actually gets mounted as the /system/lib directory, therefore if you flashed the system.img manually as part of trying to get the OTA going, you should also flash the corresponding lib.img so that you have a complete /system structure.

[ODIN][N8013] Prerooted UEALH2 Firmware Package

This post contains a complete firmware update package for N8013 UEALH2. It is based off the Kies images dumped by http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847706
It was rooted and the system image rebuilt using the guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081239 - FYI partition size for N8013 is 1400M
The package is at http://d-h.st/8v0
This will give you a complete restore to stock UEALH2 plus root, without triggering the flash counter.
By complete, I mean EVERYTHING: Kernel, recovery, system, hidden/preload, cache will be returned to the same configuration as if you flashed UEALH2 via KIES - the only difference is root.
Use Odin to flash it.

Entropy will this my issues? Can you go take a look at my help thread and general and look at my picture of my download mode saying custom?
Sent from a Baked Black Jelly Belly

Entropy, will this work on my note even though i'm already running UEALH2? Got my update OTA last night before I had a chance to root it.
Also, if I'm able to use this and I root my device should I be wary about OTA in the future causing device malfunctions? In other words, what kind of update path should I follow in the future?
Sorry for the newb question. New to Samsung. Used to rooting and flashing and updating my old droid 2 global. Never did anything with my prime before I exchanged it for this and haven't done anything with my RAZR yet. I've kind of been flash cracker dormant for a while.

Probably, however to reset DL mode to not be custom you'll need my TriangleAway support kernel (for now - Chainfire is going to integrate support into his app by including a compatible kernel for temp-flashing to reset). Flash it, run TA, then flash this and you should be on bone-stock except root.
BTW, this is a COMPLETE package including stock kernel and recovery. Once Mobile Odin supports this device (I gave Chainfire the info he needs to support N80xx) you can flash CWM and any kernel you want from rooted stock like this.
As to OTAs - In the past, many OTAs could be deployed safely to rooted devices as long as you weren't using CWM. However, Samsung seems to have switched to special incremental OTAs that patch the current binaries, so if even one of them is modified in any way, the update will fail. Happened to a lot of users with the last OTA.
Eventually you'll probably see custom firmwares that are deodexed and have the update-related APKs removed so you won't get OTAs.

OK so flash the kernel via Odin ? I am on the old injected rooted tar will it be ok?

Hmm, if this fixes the S Pen on my tablet I'll be pleasantly surprised. If it's based on the image from jaaka, and ODINing that didn't fix the S Pen for me, would this be any different? I have the same issue as David, tried to root after taking the OTA and after installing CWM and rooting the S Pen stopped working. I've flashed the root injected stock image from zedo multiple times to no avail, and also the UEALH2 one from jaaka, as well as trying to update via Kies after installing the root injected stock image. Formatted data/cache and system too once, although flashing in ODIN should overwrite system completely, right?
Also, can we flash this in Heimdall? Or would you recommend against that?

I had weird issues when flashing with heimdall.
Try flashing this, wiping with STOCK recovery, and don't **** around with CWM until you're sure it's working.
Warning: I believe stock recovery is a full 100% wipe, including /sdcard (which is actually /data/media) - CWM takes measure to protect /data/media that might result in unclean wipes sometimes. This is why pershoot would always tell people to wipe in stock recovery if they had problems for example.

Alright, will do that then. Still waiting for it to finish downloading, seems like dev-host is not that fast unfortunately (or maybe I'm just spoiled by university internet and 4G). I did wipe with stock recovery once during my couple hours of trying to fix my tablet and it didn't seem to help. I probably won't try flashing CWM or rooting again for a while until I can get confirmation from others that it doesn't break the S Pen again. The thing I wanted to try (Screencast) worked but was somewhat unimpressive in terms of quality so I don't need to show it to the person I wanted to show it to (plus without S Pen it's less useful for my specific use case).

What about the site that the other guy used, http://www.peejeshare.com/ ?

ya i tried a lot too,
I also have tried every method in getting the pen to work, and always either get no touch screen or no pen.
I have tried wiping, different orders, flashing clockwork and wiping all in there.
NADA no pen
Shoulda of just waited to root til this came out officially.
I might have to throw in the towel if this tar doesn't work and and send it back after clearing the binary count.
Unless someone has another idea?

Any one got a working recovery and supersu/superuser that works with 4.2?

You've probably heard that from idiots who don't know what they are doing.
The latest version of TWRP works perfectly fine with 4.2 (3G and not). I'm using it on my 3G without any issues.
And the previous 'su' binaries and apk's should be fine. Neither of them should cause any problems with the 3G functionality as they have nothing to do with it. I installed custom recovery and rooted mine the day I got it. Everything is perfect.
Also, absolute worst case scenario, if you do screw something up, it's easy to revert without losing all of your data.

Hmm...I don't consider myself an idiot but did nothing more sinister than root and flash CWM and lost cellular data functionality completely at random two days later (unknown baseband). Had about 6 Android devices before this going back to HTC Hero, flashed all sorts, and never seen anything like it. Eventually had to flash factory image to get it back. Not especially helpful as inexplicable and not reproduced but worth saying nonetheless.

FYI, there seems to be a sporadic bug in JB on my GNex where on certain reboots it says Unknown Baseband and IMEI in the About menu, and then on the next reboot it's fine. I am wondering if that same bug is cropping up on the N7, and it's just coincidentally happening on some people's devices after rooting, but it goes away later. On my GNex this issue is particularly noticeable if I gave the phone a full reboot from inside software (e.g. using the app Easy Reboot). Whereas a power off / power on does not as frequently run into this issue.

I'm looking forward to getting mine Ordered today and it shipped today! I'm going to give my 16gb (bought in Aug for $249 so no price mod for me ) to either my GF or my daughter. lol
Sorry for the OT post.. I'm just excited. It will be nice to not have to tether my N7 to my phone. I just switched to the shared data plan on AT&T so it will only cost me $10 to add the N7 to my plan

Just fired up my 3g and will root it tomorrow, is there anything really different in rooting this thing vs the 16gb, anything I should watch out for?

No, they are identical from a rooting perspective. However, they do run slightly different versions of the image, so if you wind up flashing stock, use the right one.

so first my success, i have managed to get root and a TWRP recovery.
now my question in menus im seeing horizontal lines that move with the landscape. so as the phone rotates the screen, the lines also rotate. maybe its just the background design but it seems really awkward to me that they would intend from these lighter brighter lines to be there

I don't have my N7 yet, but on most Androids the stock recovery images do not vary much or at all between minor upgrades, so any stock recovery should be fine. Try the recovery.img inside the JOP40C image straight from Google. https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasigjop40c
Worst case if the update still won't take, flash both system and boot from the stock image too (this will unroot you but so would the OTA, and you can fix that later), and then you'll be stock enough for OTAs to work the next time it prompts.

i just downloaded that ill try flashing it now i downloaded the "Google Nexus 7 Toolkit" and while it didn't work for me, it did provide a JRo03d stock recovery which i flashed with fastboot and that recovery did not work. when you nexus 7 arrives i believe it would be possible to recover the stock recovery using "fastboot boot twrp-recovery", ALTHOUGH im not sure when you would execute the "backup recovery" if it would read the phones actual partition or the image you uploaded and booted on

ya i grabbed it thanks. what i don't understand is what the 34mg update is for? any ideas? i uploaded two shots, one settings page showing the build mine shipped with and the other is just the update screen i got showing size. Im about to flash the stock ROM from google now. we'll see how goes

the 34mg update was "signed-nakasig-JOP40C-from-JVP15S". i was able to flash the recovery from the stock ROM JOP40C and use that to patch through android and avoid flashing usuing TWRP

Honestly don't try toolkits. Just don't, because you don't know what commands or files they are really flashing, and especially because they were written for the wi-fi version. The stock recovery from the wi-fi version is not guaranteed to be compatible with the 3G version.

System.img is also devoid of personal information because to the standard end user it is write-protected. All the personal stuff is in the data partition.

Glad it worked out for you. I had a feeling it was just going to give you JOP40C anyway.

So, I have been trying to root my 3G tablet (JOP40C), but have no luck. I installed TWRP and unlocked just fine using the Google Nexus 7 ToolKit 3.2. When I use the toolkit to root it seems like it is doing everything fine, reboots, and I do not see any errors during the process. However, when I access Titanium backup, or Root Checker it cannot gain root access. I have tried all the options in the toolkit and nothing is working. Can anyone give me some pointers? Thanks!

Yes - Don't use a toolkit!
Since you already have a custom recovery, put the attached file on your sdcard and install it using TWRP. Then you should be good to go.

[Q] Need Help Deciding What to do With Rooted Phone

So I just successfully rooted my lovely HTC One from Sprint. I've got TWRP 2.6.0.1 on it and all.
I'd REALLY like to get rid of all this garbage on my phone that I'm never going to use, however I also would like to keep it as close to stock as possible. I really enjoy Sense for the most part (minus quirks that I'm willing to live with, and BlinkFeed). I know how/can find out how to load a custom rom - I had CM7 on my HTC EVO 4G (1st Gen) and loved it. But I really don't want to be without Sense.
Can anyone make any suggestions as to what I should do/which rom I should use?

With a custom kernel. And greenify.
And a whole boat load of other mods you can only discover by spending time on these forums.

Sorry, I'm overwhelmed at the wealth of knowledge here. Is there a link to the specific one you're talking about? Search didn't do me a ton of good. Though I suppose I could send the guy a message and inquire about his ROM.
Thank you for all your help guys!

Okay so I've decided that I want to try the OMJ ROM. Now here's where I am unsure of exactly how to do it. I see that certain ROMs require different methods. I can't just copy the ZIP to my internal storage and use TWRP to flash it, right? It has to be more complicated than that...
Also, I just went past the return window for the phone so I really cannot afford to brick it. I assume that there's next to no chance of the aforementioned tragedy befalling me providing I stick with the mainstream ROMs?

Most roms are in a flashable format i use the CM 10.2 nightly myself. from what i can tell as long as you can get into the bootloader your safe. I wiped my whole phone SD card and everything accidentally with TWRP one time. Ended up having to use sideload to get a CM rom installed again but i was never in danger of bricking. When flashing roms always remember to do a factory reset to wipe the cache and do an advanced wipe of the data and system. after the rom is installed it will ask you to wipe the cache again which is always nice to do.

Awesome! So what was I hearing about having to plug the phone into the computer to flash the boot.IMG file? Sorry, I'm just really overwhelmed with the new ways of doing things.

No worries, I am new to the unlocking scene too with this device . Those flashable zips will normally have the boot.img files included and when installing twrp will take care of it via the script inside the zip. if you open the zip file with winzip or something you should see that file on the root. TWRP or ClockworkMod recoveries make it really easy to install and backup roms.
flashing the boot.img i guess is for recovery purposes say if the system is in a boot loop. Or maybe if you upgrade the system only and didnt change boot img between two different roms. I personally never had to do this. After unlocking the device i used fastboot to replace the recovery and just do everything else inside the recovery.

Alright, so I've got OMJ's rom running no problem. Love the new feel but what I'm wondering is...is there still a way to delete apps like Stocks and other crap I won't use? I can disable some but not all, and none am I able to uninstall completely.
Would it be something as simple as going into the OMJ ZIP file and removing the unwanted apk files and then re-flashing to that version?

I suppose that could be one way of doing it, but i dont think its necessary. if you are already rooted or can install root easy i would just install a Root file explorer. Browse to the /system/app folder i think it is and delete the APKs from there.

Yeah I tried that with ES explorer AND Root File Manager. ES would have an error, and Root File Manager would simply say it was deleted but it was never actually deleted. I think it has something to do with the security. I'm not really sure, haha! I'm used to being able to just openly delete apps from within Settings>Apps like the old days of my EVO 1st gen.

hmm interesting as long as the /system is mounted as r/w permissions you should be able to delete. well if you are planning on reflashing using the modify zip method im curious to know if that works.

use Root explorer, and set it at r/w
also Titanium Backup will delete it for you too.

If I remember correctly there are a few apps in the play store that are specifically for getting rid of "bloatware".....maybe search bloatware removal, our uninstall bloatware something like that. Hopefully this helps!

Well for whatever reason neither of those two suggestions worked. So I installed Root Browser and was finally able to get rid of some things.
Scratch that. Rebooted phone and the apps are back.

Thanks! I'm working on it now. I did not see an app called "ROM Cleaner" or "ROMCleaner" but I did find something called Rom Toolbox Lite that I'm going to attempt to use.
Will post back. I may look for the ROMCleaner on the net and just install it manually.
Edit: So I guess I showed my ignorance there. It appears ROM Cleaner is something offered through the forum. I'm unsure of how to use it so I'll take a look around.

It's very doubtful you will have success with Romtoolbox either once you reboot all the apps will return

TWRP 2.6.3.0 constantly crashing (SOLVED)

I've been using TWRP ever since I have rooted mt ONE. Over the last few days its been crashing while trying to install any zips at all.I can do a nandroid restore but nothing else. When I try to install any file it just goes to a black screen and reboots the phone.
Any ideas of what could be causing this and how to repair it also.
Thanks

I've also just replaced TWRP with clockwork mod touch and that is doing the same thing. I am now at a stage where I cannot install anything via the recovery method.
What is my bet options for starting afresh as my phone is unlocked with HTC dev and rooted also.
I'd like to go back to the beginning and start again.
Thanks

This seems to becoming a more and more recurrent event, though I cannot say for what the correct solution is, check these two threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2435499
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2423817
one of them had to fix a corrupt partition, the other just reflashed and wiped again and again, and it worked.
If something works out for you do share!!

Thanks for that,I'll redownload my favourite Rom and try again without trying to update the Kernel,everything was fine as I remember before I tried the kernel update.
I'll let you know how I get on in a while.

Though the reasons are still unclear (at least to me ), it seems that flashing a custom kernel while still in recovery immediately after the ROM does work. Of course, make sure you're flashing a compatible kernel to the ROM; the version numbers of the custom kernels do not correspond to the ROM versions, and I've seen some that flashed an incompatible kernel, just because the version numbers looked similar.
Good luck & keep us posted
PS: If you do solve it, please update the main thread title to include [SOLVED]. thanks

Thanks for the two links,after reading them and doing a fresh install off my rom. Wiping cache,delvick and data I seem to be able to install zips again from recovery without the black screen and reboots.
Yep, so far all the zips that failed earlier are now installing.
A BIG THANK YOU :good::good:
