I have a couple of questions I am hoping to get help with. First if I have a custom ROM on my phone like MoDaCo and I wipe back to factory will it also add back the apps I removed like Nascar, footprints, ect. I am asking because after I wiped it through the recovery screen it did not add these back. The second question is when trying to do a Nandroid restore from when I first rooted the phone after I updated it, I get an error telling me it has to be done from the shell. Can I do this and if so how? Thanks
can anyone help with this?
Are you using RA-1.2.3??
My Nandroid backups have never asked me to restore through terminal.
Your back up maybe corrupt?? If so, I am not sure if people have had success loading a Nandroid from another phone, but you are welcome to one of my factory backups if it works. Can someone confirm a Nandroid from another phone will restore? I will Send if it does.
Also, the factory reset in RA1.2.3 should put back all apps. It is a "Factory reset" though I have never done one without immediately loading a rom. Who knows how its actually supposed to work.

I am using RA-1.2.3. I guess it is possible the backup got corrupt when I moved it to my PC and then back to the phone. What is strange is none of the backups I had saved would take. I was able to do a backup and then right after that restore it so I know it works. I did about three factory resets and it would not add back the system apps I removed, but I think before the Sprint update when I first rooted the phone it did add back all the apps when I reset the phone. I could be wrong or it may be they came back when I put MoDaCo 1.1 on the phone since his ROM has everything with it. Thanks for responding.
last MoDaCo Rom I loaded (1.2c) all the stock apps came back, but I also loaded the Optimzation.zip so i wasn't sure who put them back.
Good to know it was the MoDaCo. It seems that even loading Rom's most things are fairly persistent and don't get wiped or over writen which is nice.
WinMoBo phones usually wipe everything out when you do this stuff.

doing a "factory reset" will not replace stock programs you deleted, it will just delete all your settings and apps you installed.
It's a misnomer in fact.... but when HTC made the option, they assumed that you hadn't rooted your phone. That's why all they really delete is the stuff in /data. Nothing in /system is added or modified.
If you really want to do a true factory reset, get the RUU from HTC and run it to reset your phone to exactly what it was when you got it.
As far as Nandroid not working, I've never had that problem either, but if your backup is corrupt then RUU will be your only option.
Ok, so i've spent a few hours at this already but let me give as much info as I can. I have read through many threads searching for info. I am no expert but I have had OG Droid, Incredible, and currently Thunderbolt all rooted so I am a novice.
This is my GFs phone and was previously bone stock, never rooted, no Roms nothing. So she gets the update recently and clicks yes and that is where the trouble began, phone constantly reboots and will not go past the language/activation screen. It never once went past that first screen, and she tried the hard reset and the battery pull.
So this is where I took over. I retried the hard reset (power + vol down) and also the battery pull. I also tried to activate in numerous other languages, all cause a reboot.
As per
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1208713.html
I was finally able to get past the activation screen and make some progress. However after about a minute the phone always reboots, no matter what it is doing. I hard reset in the settings menu and that did nothing.
I next followed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326347
and got the phone rooted.
Installed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144951
and than installed CWR 4.0.0.4 ? (not sure the version whatever it comes with) Tested recovery and it it seems to stick even after rebooting several times, which the phone automatically does (maybe its a feature and not a flaw?) So I was unsure of what version of Android was even running because the phone will not allow me to go into about phone it always force closes *com.android.settings* but I figure what the heck and try my luck with a new Rom. I decided on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326542&page=11
So I did the usual. Rebooted into recovery, made a nandroid backup, wiped data, cache, davlik and even did /system for good measure. Than did the install and upon first boot all the same problems are there. It will not activate from the screen, it just reboots the phone eventually. I used the same method above to avoid the screen and now it will boot up and the phone is in fact running an AOSP Rom but it still reboots after about a minute. Oddly enough it also continues to refuse to let me open About Phone, in the settings menu. I also for good measure went into recovery and wiped everything again and also tried fixing permissions in recovery, all to no avail.
At this point I am thinking it is perhaps just a hardware issue, although the phone does not reboot itself in recovery. I would be willing to try a different Rom, however I don't think it would work. I am wondering if anyone has any other suggestions? Should I try this?

Other info:
What does work is wifi, so i can get on the internet briefly. I can connect to google and get apps from the market.
I am leaving this for a few hours or I may have to re-title the thread "How do you put the LG Revolution back together after throwing it against a wall?"
Currently I'm sad face that you rooted and installed cwm but I think the update bricked it personally. Hopefully S.Meezy will see this as he has stock recovery. I would say just get back to bone stock and get it replaced. If anyone else knows how to get it fixed, my best guesses would be mt or S.Meezy, though adb that might work. I hope it all gets figured out. Someone needs to post stock GB without data or anything for people to flash to if need be. That might fix your issue.
My suggestion is to get the recover the whole phone...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1211295
follow that but use the v6 TOT file. That will revert the phone to out of factory new, with updated radios. If you still have the issue then I would contact Verizon.
If everything works then you can re-run the update to Gingerbread.
Could be a long shot but I remember seeing something a little way back in another forum where a user w the same problem accidentially resolved his issue by restarting w the sd card out. For him it turned out to be a bad or incompatible sd card at the root of the problem.
If you have one in, pull it and restart. Hope thats it for you...

Well i'm a glutton for punishment so i'm back.
I didn't want to bother with rooting it honestly but I did it out of desperation, figured a total wipe + brand new Rom would surely fix things.
Going to attempt the full recovery.
Tried pulling the SD card, than just the Sim card and finally without anything and none of the combinations worked.
Have you tried downloading a stock ROM to your PC/Mac and dropping that on your SD card and then flashing that ROM, after checking the md5? To me it sounds like your gf just had a bad download.
I think the issue is that you keep trying to flash the bad bits. Just my two cents...

Honestly you really need to try reflashing the entire phone with one of the TOT files. At this point to me it is clearly not the ROM that is installed. Restoring the phone with one of the TOT files will cleanly overwrite everything on the phone. Takes about 20 minutes or so after you have the program installed and recognizing the phone. Do it and post back.

What he said.
Remember: Absolutely do not, under any circumstance, unplug/turn off your phone once you start that process. It can take awhile, and might look like it froze, but just let it do it's thang.
Gave my old LG Revo to a buddy, things POS, but its all he has at the moment. Anyways, I had a version of Ginger-volt rom on there, and it was acting up, so I was just gonna update everything and put the last version that came out on it, or go with whatever the newest most stable rom is....So I booted into CWM and did a nandroid back up, then wiped everything, cache, dalvik, etc etc, booted up fine, went through some stuff, then i went back to restore the back up i just made cause he forgot to tell me about some game data he wanted backed up.....
So anyways, i restored it, wiped the cache, then rebooted, and yea, then it went into boot loop, at first it was between the LG Logo and the Boot Animation, but now it just suts at the LG Logo for quite awhile, like 10min, and then restarts, and does it over and over. And I try and hold down Power and Vol-Down, but it doesn't work, can't get into recovery. So Need some help here. I've tried all the old tricks I remember from my LG Revo days, but nothing has worked thus far. Is there a way to like boot into something like ODIN and just flash the Stock Firmware. Like RSD-Lite maybe ? Can't remember if that was Moto only....Think it may have been lol
remembered about the exitrecover.zip thing did that, put sdcard back in phone, booted, holding down power and vol-dwn, and it worked, flashed the .zip and then rebooted, now its doing it once again. WTF. I want this thing back to Stock, and then I am gonna root it and flash a new rom. but before that obviously i need to fix this first. Can someone help me at all. I know there isn't a lot of people left on this forum.

Try the LG restore tool i think its LGPSNT or something like that, but you need a .TOT, and the you can reroot, flash a recovery, and install an updated ROM, gingervolt is OLD

well i fixed that stuff on my own, couldn't get anyone to respond so I just went based on what I remember, like i said, it's been awhile since i used that phone
BUT NOW ! I got a whole other issue, and its a lot more F'd up, and I have never dealt with this before, so I am just wingin it on what i've tried so far. But i've hit a wall. So after restoring everything and getting Broke-Out rom back on there and everything, I noticed after a lil bit that it had the No Sim-Card icon in the status bar, and couldn't make a call. Then it hit me, and i didnt wnna say it outloud just in case i was wrong, so looked at About Phone>Status, and yep, Completely zero'd out, IMEI/MEID etc etc. I have no idea what to do. I tried following that guide on here but that program DFS or whatever, I entered my IMEI number in this program and hit "Write" and now its in my phone, so i know its communicating with my phone, but that still didnt fix it, I am missing the HEX number, and where it is located on the phone behind the battery, has been complketely rubbed away, so i cant read it. I don't know if Verizon will tell me what the number is, and I didnt wanna call them cause what am I supposed to tell them, not that we care about the warranty on this phone cause its pretty much on its last legs anyways, but i dont wanna cause any problems on my account, cause I know verizon is pretty anti-custom development,
So any ideas on what to do ?
Anyone ? Any suggestion on how to go about fixing this ?
I'm running stock 4.4 on my rooted Sprint HTC One.
I've been trying out tethering apps to try to find one that works. After failing with several of them, I came to JB WiFi Tether. It also didn't work (simply prompted me to choose a tethering plan). I had read a review that suggested it might work after rebooting. It did not.
Now, I've uninstalled it, but my phone reboots itself roughly 90-120 seconds after booting, every time. I've wiped dalvik and cache in TWRP, to no effect.
What next? I'm not opposed to doing a factory reset if that will fix it.

Save all of your personal data off of the phone and do a factory reset. If that doesn't work then you may have to re-install the stock firmware and/or stock rom.

Thanks very much for the response! Should I do factory reset from the bootloader or from TWRP (is there a difference)?
Basically everything is saved since I did a backup in HTC Sync Manager very recently.

I would do it from TWRP, because it will warn you if it wiped your OS. I would use the bootloader if I was completely stock.

Thanks again! The factory reset seems to have done the job, thankfully. :highfive:
I'm so glad to be back in business. Now if I could just get tethering to work.
So for some reason today, my phone restarted and now I can't call people or receive calls, if I do. My phone restarts. Also can't use Bluetooth or it also does the same and restarts what can cause this? My phone getting too hot and damaged the motherboard? When I installed a kernel it was corrupted? I really have no understanding what caused this. I had resurrection from on it. I updated it with a newer one and did a bootloop. So I put cyangemod on it and worked but noticed those huge issues. Thinking the ROM was corrupted I put rr back on it and had the exact same issues. Any help would mean everything to me

Restore the stock rom using step 0 of this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-t3292684. Once you confirm that your phone is fixed, re-flash whatever rom/setup you want.

What he said. If you want to try and recover your data (DCIM folder, downloads, etc), edit out "%fastboot% erase userdata" from the .bat file. Chances are that if you had CM installed, the stock rom will be terribly buggy since the data partition won't be erased, but you can still connect to your PC and pull the files you want to save. Once you've recovered your files, you'll want to do a factory reset, which can be done using that command you edited out of the .bat file. If you'r on Mac OS or Linux, the commands are basically the same as what's in the .bat file, but the commands begin with ./fastboot. You'll need to have the fastboot executable in the same directory as where you've extracted the files from the xml.
Just a quick note, Moto has a notorious reputation of not playing nicely with CM. This is just my personal opinion, but after trying some of the non-stock options, I've settled firmly on the stock rom, as it seems to be the most stable. If you need tether, root, etc, you can flash TWRP after you've gotten the phone back up and running, and use TWRP to install root and flash my stock tether enabler patch.
