Completely revert to stock without USB connection

My phone is no longer capable of making a USB connection.
Now i want to revert it to stock, i thought i did so but it turns out the stock CWM rom I installed has some mods like root and busybox.
I was wondering if it is possible to flash an older stock rom through cwm and then have the phone auto update to the newest version? I also wonder if OTA updates update the baseband?

so your phone has a usb hardware malfunction\hardware problem and you need to send it to lg for repairs?

Thats what i think will happen, I want to fully revert to stock first though and check that.

You can use this

Thou it won't be a clean stock and you probably need the stock kernel for your region to be inside or it can be seen.
If connecting the phone with the battery out, vol down pressed and it still doesn't change into the flash mode you can be sure the usb is dead. (provided the cable is 100% working)

it looks like that might work.
Do you know if Q is older than R and if my phone will auto-update to R?

Status update:
* Manually installed CWM using terminal
* Followed Kag's link and installed that ROM
Rom appears to be fully stock, but I'm not getting an OTA update to v20r.
I need to be on r because q was never officially released, at least not in my country so my phone should not have it.
Any ideas for getting it updated?

I used those links to flash 10a.
But it still says no OTA updates are available.
Could it be due to CWM?

That should be due to LG server's load . Guess u could wait for it to appear, eventually, or just create a new 20R.

It looks like it's blocked on the software level and will only let you check once ever X period?
Its telling me that there is no update available without even trying to connect, the answer comes so fast.

Yes...i believe i once read about that somewhere in here.
Which baseband are you on now?

218

Thats a bugger..sorry .Dont think theres another way to update bb except from flashing.
About OTA ,doesnt work for any country.
Ill b checking on this one though as it interests me too.

[Q] HTC One update problems

Hi.
I have just bought a used HTC One running Android 4.1.2. It say there's an update available (2.24.401) which will bring it to 4.2.2 but I have trouble installing it.
The problem might be that the phone is already rooted and has TWRP installed. I have only very little experience with rooting and recovery tools
Anyway ... what happens is that I tell it to update and it restarts the phone. Instead of just rebooting it then enters TWRP and from then on I'm lost. I can get TWRP to reboot as system but after doing so the update is still not installed.
Is there anything I can do to get the update installed ?

As I implied I have little understanding of such matter You mean restore current version and break root ? As far as I know the device has just been rooted TWRP installed - no mod or anything other than the official updates seems to have been installed.
I would not mind installing the 4.2.2 manually but I'm not sure I could find the right file anywhere....

What is your current base? I.E. 1.29.xx.xx? What is it exactly? I mean, replace TWRP with the stock android recovery, which will allow the OTA to be installed.

I'll have to find out how to get stock android recovery I guess although I suspect it will not be easy.......

On the contrary, its very easy. Just download this: https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&s...eHtxo9aWWRhxLSSVA&sig2=hY-Jn2jnmzlavxWhe71R2g
And flash in fastboot.. Look around for guides to flash recoveries.

One of the benefits to being s-off is you don't have to take the OTA...you just flash the firmware and done.

i did that and then i was unable to take profile or prl updates :crying: it also didnt apear to have fixed the signal issue... i might not have waited enough... or it could have something to do with the unability to take prl and profile updates... anyhow ill try again from a diferent download see what happens

Did your baseband change? last four should be .0610.
If it did change then it's most likely a network issue.

Yes the baseband did change but the signal problem persists. i need to take the FULL ota to fix my phone (or install something else that will) regardless the radios alone aren't fixing the issue.

i tried flashing the rafios by themselves and it wouldnt update prl or profile; it also had the same signal issue. i tried the radios AND the new stock rom for it and same thing. i tried going back to stock and taking the ota and the ota wouldnt install.
Thoughs?

I'm the same root/s-off. I flash the h/k sound file did you find a way to install the latest ota update?

I cant figure out how to get the OTA either
I have S-Off im also rooted, and i have TWRP recovery, i can't get the zip to flash. I was thinking about doing a stock root recovery using the RUU, but then i thought if i do that, would i still be able to reroot using the same method? so my question is, how can i flash this zip and keep my root? or should do a stock recovery from the RUU and update and wait for another root? if any devs read this, i'd really like your help please and thank you. I currently have the stock rom with just root access and S-Off.no custom roms on here.

man.. i have the same problem bro.. smh.. hey man keep me posted if something comes up

You have to have stock recovery to take the update, which means you have to flash stock recovery first and then take the update, then repeat the rooting process.

you should at least have seen a green arrow circle and/or a red triangle with a "!" in the middle. if you saw the triangle that is recovery trying and failing to update. at this point if you press and releast volumeup+power it should bring up the text of what it did.

yes you have to have a pc . Download the program and just follow the guide. Should be very simple . But you do need stock to get this update. After you are done flash back or just restore back-up

I checked the link and it is the old update from 12.17.2014 or 1.47.652.1. I couldn't find the newest update or anything from 2015 at all on the HTC site anywhere. I received the update today, 1.48.652.2 (30.68MB), but after it downloaded, restarted and tried to install, it gave me a red triangle with an exclamation point in the middle. Has anyone else seen this? (My bootloader is locked and I fully wiped my phone and sdcard before installing the Boost stock RUU so nothing should be interfering) I contacted HTC and they walked me through some steps to fix it, but eventually they told me to contact Boost. I didn't contact them yet, but Boost Zone says the system updates on my phone are up to date.

Please Help(boost)

My phone fails when I try to install the update, also. Is your bootloader locked? If it is unlocked, the RUU update will fail.

I wouldn't bother. I contacted HTC and Boost Mobile and they both said there is nothing they can do about it. I think some of us have to wait until 1.48.652.2 is actually on HTCs site and good to go to download. For now all I see is 1.47.652.1. I wonder why some people can download it perfectly and others can't. I even tried to manually install it through the stock recovery. It downloads to the Download folder and I thought it had to be on the root of the sdcard. I moved it to the root of my internal sdcard and tried to install and it failed. I used the "OTA_A11_CHL_K44_DESIRE_SENSE60_Sprint_WWE_VM_1.48.652.2-1.47.652.1_R_release_420824qapx9dhr8n40gasg.zip" name and even renamed it to update.zip like other HTC phones use. I extracted the recovery.img and tried to flash, thinking it would help for some reason, with no success. I tried all I can do with my knowledge on this subject. Either one of the geniuses on this site can help or we'll have to wait.

Red Triangle 10% into 1.48.652.2 on Boost. On stock locked 1.47.652.1.. Is this the Lolipop update? cause if it isn't i don't care about it. :silly:

Tried installing on fresh RUU on Boost mobile. Update fails everytime. I looked into the update zip. For 30 mbs its got a lot of stuff in it. It updates most of the system apps as well as gapps. also theres some new certs getting installed. Maybe its a prep update.

No it's not Lollipop, just security enhancements and bug fixes. I contacted HTC and Boost and there is nothing they can do at the moment about our problems with updating. I think we just have to wait until Lollipop comes out and they release an official RUU.

Is the new update N910TUVS2EQE2 rootable?

I woke up and my phone had a message saying it was ready to update to N910TUVS2EQE2. Has anybody updated and rooted this fw yet?

I also recieved the update, I won't update for that reason. But the notification is annoying.

It's been forever since I had rooted my phone, finally updated, then had this update and installed it while it was still unrooted. But now I want to root the phone, so no one has tried it yet? Only thing I've noticed with this version is it seemed to have tried to keep a connection via wifi instead of bluetooth to my watch, which lead both of them to have some serious battery drain.
Now that I've set it back to bluetooth, let's see how well it does. The watch (Gear S2 Classic 3G) had to be charged twice in one day, it was terrible.

Unless T-Mobile has suddenly reversed a long-standing policy and locked the bootloader on a previously unlocked device (something I have not ever heard of for any device), you can still flash TWRP recovery from Odin and then flash SuperSU from recovery, which does not modify the system partition. This should just be a minor security update for Marshmallow and not an update to Nougat, which would have much bigger compatibility consequences but which should still be rootable by the above method.

I can confirm it's rootable. I just installed it this weekend, upgrading from 4.4.4 finally. I've got SmoresV1 ROM installed over it, Xposed up and running, all good so far.

Would be great if we could get a nougat release.

Yes, pretty much: I ODIN flashed QE2, did a factory restore from stock recovery (to clear out KK bits), ODINed CQ Auto Root, ODINed TWRP, and then flashed Smores ROM from TWRP. I was exclusively on FireKat ROMs since I got the phone 2.5 years ago, and Smores is by the same developer. Very lightly modded stock version of ROM.

The Gear watch battery drain problem likely isn't related to the phone update.
We've had the same problem with the Gear S3. After weeks of running fine, my S3 would do the same thing. We've been having to hard reset the watch to fix the problem.

anyone getting better or worse signal with the QE2? .... feedback?

I've looked everywhere in the threads and can't find an answer, hope you all can help.
N910T, Android 6.0.1, N910TUVS2EQE2. Everything I try and flash anything I get E: Footer Is Wrong and E: Signature verification failed. Tried Odin. Tried ADB. Tried to flash from ZIP. I unlocked the phone with the code from TMO but can't get past the loader to flash anything. Happy to provide futher details but any help would be very appreciated.
