OTA Update = Fastboot only. :-(

The OTA update to Froyo seems to have bricked my (Sprint) Sanyo Zio.
I can only get to fastboot - no regular boot whatsoever.
Factory reset does not help. "Modem Download Mode" does not help.
I'm thinking that, from fastboot, I can just re-flash the original image, right?
Does anyone have this image?

We'll that depends on which image is borked really.
I think you'd be better off taking your phone into sprint and having them fix it.
I'd send you my cricket images, but I'm sure they will not work without major problems.

Sadness
Well, my carrier is actually Credo Mobile, not Sprint, although they use Sprint hardware and network connections.
I called them and it didn't seem promising. They are supposed to call me back tomorrow - on what phone I'm not sure.
I'm still really hoping that somebody here has the image files for me to flash. I can't believe they aren't provided by the manufacturer or the carrier or somebody.

You might be out of luck. If you know anything about how to use Modem Download Mode. I'm sure you could switch to CricKet and they could do the flash in store.

Modem Download Mode does nothing on Credo / Sprint
I tried Modem download mode. The progress bar makes its way up to 100, then the phone reboots with the same problem.
My assumption is that this mode just doesn't do anything on Sprint.

If you're trying to use a cricket rom on a sprint phone it won't work m8.
I've tried to use sprint's old 2.1 images on my cricket phone to no avail

There is a sprint zio forum here at xda and perhaps there is a dumped 2.1 stock rom available or you could Google for one.
I'm quite sure that there are tools available on the net to reflash to 2.1.

Sprint forum?
I can't seem to find the sprint forum or the image file, google as I may.
Can you throw me a link to the sprint forum?

Thanks! can I manually push the system.img file through fastboot? My phone turns on and boots up but everything is blank with a dim light.

You should be able to yes, but to avoid system errors I would use cwm to restore.
Just unzip the file to "/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/" and choose restore from cwm.

I updated the phone with the 2.000CR.5_HW0104.msi utility but it still stuck at the Kyocera screen.
I got it back up and running. I used clockwork from your other thread and wiped everything and the phone booted up. Thanks a lot.

Just so you know that Microsoft updater is for cricket only. M6000 not SCP-860

NEED HELP

Please help a noob out and show me the right way on how to root this phone, unlock bootloader and flash a recovery. There are a lot of info's all over the thread. I don't know which one to start in. Seems like there are different ways to root the ATRIX HD and I don't want to mess up.
I am also with T-Mobile so my phone is unlocked. I don't wanna have to do anything that will re-lock my phone. I'm currently running 4.1.1

Once your carrier unlocked, its permanent.
Use Motochopper to root...no one here feels like dealing with the Samba Sh!t again...
Then use this to unlock the bootloader
There are a few ways to install recovery -- See my HOW TO for the manual way, there's the one-click method, and using Rom Toolbox and installing the Photon Q CWM. All are easy and can be found in the first pages of our forums. The 2nd two are easier, but its really worth it to learn the manual way.

Thanks a lot man now Im having another problem. For some weird apparent reason I'm not getting mobile data only data I'm getting is from my gmail but instagram,chrome,Facebook is not getting any connection. Does it have anything to do with the APN?

Maybe. Are you on a custom rom, not using ATT 4.1.1? Need more info. List rom\fastboot and any mods you might be using.
Try connecting to WiFi and see if your apps can connect. After that, try wiping cache, dalvik cache and see if that helps. If after trying both of those and you still have no connection, its likely be a bad rom install.
You didn't flash MR or Bell 4.1.2 over AT&T 4.1.1 and not factory reset did you? Or restore AT&T Settings.apk app data with Titanium Backup from on a diferent rom? Doing both of those could cause errors like you're having.

Sorry for the late reply,but no this is stock AT&T and all the bloatware is installed. I figured it out. I had to change the APN to fast.T-Mobile.com and my internet is working now. As for putting in roms. I heard 4.2.2 will remove LTE is this true?
EDIT:My friend is giving me **** because I paid 250 for this unlocked ATRIX HD. For an extra 60 dollars more I could have bought the Nexus 4 and more development support he says plus its a Quad Core. At the time I had no idea about the dev support for this device and he was right. There are barely any support for this device. I love the PA roms and PacMan roms to be ported over to this device. But no roms from them at all. My battery life sucks because of all the bloatware,but so far I am liking this phone a lot. I'm going to be patient and wait.

[Q] Root for VS980 on KitKat 4.4.2?

Is there a method to root the Verizon LG G2 (VS980) on the stock OTA Kit Kat 4.4.2 build yet?
I bought the phone used, already had the OTA on it...now I just need root.
Not interested in Rom'ing, just need tethering without the $30/month charge for the few times I use it and need root to do it.
Thanks!

ioroot25 should still work...

I'm considering a G2 also and have been wondering the same. From what I gathered you would have to go back to 4.2.2 first, gain root, and then flash back to 4.4.2. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

As far as that goes, how is installing the LG G2 unified drivers supposed to go? I found the download link for them in the main 200 page thread for this. Extracted the zip, but none of the .exe files do anything when run. Is that normal or is something wrong? For example I tried running InstallUSB64.exe but absolutely nothing happens.
Another more recent post on like page 185 of the thread had another download link, but that just leads to a file called "LG" with no extension and it doesn't appear to be a .zip

No you will need to root and then install custom recovery. Depending on what you are on. If you are on kitkat you can use autorec, and anything earlier you can use flashify.

I am not sure about the question but I know when you root this phone there is a trip where it will show in the lg menu that it is rooted. In order to get rid of that you will have to return to stock. Tell you though I have had this phone for a few months now and I am glad i finally decided to root and put custom recovery on. Its my phone and set up the way I want with root and all.

I'm having a hell of a time trying to get this thing to root. I followed all of the instructions for installing the LG device drivers and when I go to run the IOroot25 it flashes really quickly and then goes away. USB debugging is enabled and I have tried it in ethernet mode and charging mode. Both produce the same result. Do I need to remove any other drives I might have on my computer in order to get it to work? Any other ideas?

You need to be in Ethernet mode.
Once it boots into recovery, did you scroll down and select "install from adb"?

Im having problems rooting it as well. I installed the latest drivers 1.14 I believe, and when trying to root it using ioroot25 it says downgrade to a previous version.
I do have it on Ethernet mode, and it reboots it into recovery, but that's it. I select apply update from adb but again, on ioroot it does nothing after the suggestion to downgrade.
any suggestions?

Make sure your phone is setup. Debugging mode is set. Unknown sources is set. Phone is on airplane mode. Plug into computer and start ioroot25 and follow steps

it sounds like your unit is on LTE only which voice and all that great stuff don't work on.
Use the phone app and dial *#*#4636#*#*
Then select phone information
Then make sure you are on LTE/CDMA auto (PRL) if this doesn't work either set it to LTE/GSM/CDMA Auto (PRL)
report back with what yours is on.
You could also manually flash the stock android image to see if everything works as it should

I personally do not recommend toolkits, I learned to use fastboot, but not everyone wants to do this. The problem with toolkits is if something goes wrong youll end up stuck unless you know how to do the commands. Plenty have used it here to flash stock, but YMMV.
If you have a computer with ADB already setup and don't mind getting dirty, go the manual route and flash it via fastboot. If you don't have a computer setup already you could try wugs.

You may need to be on a stock ROM for it to work. A menu should open and you select reset. It reprovisions your data service. No personal data is lost.

Updating to 5.1 from 5.0.1

Hey guys I have a Moto bought Nexus 6, running on T-Mobile network Sim card and all. Currently the 6 is on 5.0.1 and has been asking me to bump up to 5.1. My phone is stock and rooted. As we all know I can't use the OTA as a result.
I'm here bugging you all because I know there are different builds for the Nexus 6, and they seem carrier specific. So I went and hunted down an M build which supposedly is for Tmo, as we have some specific tweaking.
I downloaded the LMY47M build and I am currently on the LRX22C 5.0.1 build. What I would like to know is it okay for me to go into TWRP and flash the download? Like the way a person would flash a nightly of CM? Is it the same process? If not what do I gotta do?
(On a bus ride so would be nice to have it update while I'm still riding)

If the "download" is an OTA, it cannot be flashed from a custom recovery. ...and it will still fail because you're rooted.

Let me rephrase, if the file you have downloaded is the same file you would get as an ota, then what i said before.

Very likely it's the same but I can't say for sure.,. So where does that leave me in terms of options?

I don't know much about this "M" build and what version it is supposed to flash from. What I do know is there is no full factory image available.
Of everything else is stock on your phone (Including radio) I think the best action would be:
- download the factory image for the version you are on now.
- extract it and fastboot flash the stock recovery and system.img
- do NOT lock your bootloader
Then you should be able to accept the ota or side load it from stock recovery.

Mmm will try this when I get home thanks! Will be back to update Folks!
Also, will flashing the stock image and recovery wipe any of my data?

Yes. I would like to know how to do this also. Is there a difference in flashing the D or E version of 5.1 and then flashing a custom ROM that is built from T-Mobile's update?
Or is there carrier specifics in the different Factory Images?

In my mind in its the radio. you want the radio that comes with the T Mobile version. (if you are on t-mobile obviously) what you flash on top of it for system doesn't matter as long as it supports the radio and is version 5 .1. And as long as what you're flashing doesn't include the radio you are good to go.
So for me as long as I keep the E radio for Verizon I can flash D through M it kind of doesn't matter.

Thanks for your replies here. I'm in the same boat as the OP, and have one follow-up question to this thread, if you or anyone could answer --
After doing the steps you mentioned previously -- specifically sideloading/accepting the OTA update, will the bootloader remain unlocked? I'd like to re-root afterwards and keep the user data, though I was under the impression it would actually re-lock the bootloader.
Thanks for any info!

Did you ever get this going? I know I procrastinated a bit due to the "unknowns", but finally made it happen (bug off, TMo "5.1 Available" notification!). I ran into a lot of oddities between my phone and computer (running Windows 7) like the phone being an unrecognized device when working with adb sideloads... I ultimately opened the Device Manager and forced the composite ADB driver through for each instance. For me, the rough flow was, starting out with stock but unlocked and rooted,
* flashed stock LRX22C system and recovery images
* used adb to sideload the T-Mobile LMY47M official update
* flashed TWRP
* used adb to sideload SuperSU
* and of course, cleared the dalvik/cache and rebooted
All data in-tact, and my LEDs are still functional (the LEDs are actually the key reason I have it rooted right now... it's insanely stupid that Google blocks these built-in LEDs from being used by those that want them!).
Anyways, if you run into any of those issues, happy to help!
