does anyone have their recovery-backup.img . I want to try reverting back to the original bootloader the update the new MR and install aman ra recovery again. If this works, this will save a lot of people alot of time. This way they wont have to flash the RUU back to the phone.
Please and thankyou
I would like this too.
it seems that no one would have this.. i bet not alot of people use the flashrec method..
Glad I am a maniac about backing things up.
I tired this already, the update fails halfway through it. the phone reboots and tells you to call customer service with a error code.

oh god, thank you alot friend
You are the man. Thank you.
So I did:
flash_image recovery recovery-backup.img
Now when I try to boot to recovery I get a little yellow warning triangle with a phone laying next to it.
that is supposed to happen, now you can install the sprint update, then reflash the recovery image
that is supposed to happen, now you can install the sprint update, then reflash the custom recovery image

Anyone have a copy of this file? I'm getting the "download limit reached" error from Rapidshare.
Did anyone get this MR upgrade method to work? I'm running a stock rooted ROM, but I have the nandroid recovery image installed which is keeping the MR install from working.

Thanks, I thought 147k sounded a little fishy. I downloaded a second time, and got the same 147k file size (no errors, just way too small). When I tried downloading from IE instead of Firefox, I started getting a "YOU HAVE REACHED YOUR FREE DOWNLOAD LIMIT" error message.
Sorry i'm wrong

I was trying just to downgrade from CRC1 to RC29. When I booted the phone with the "camera+power" function and started the update (per this thread per this thread ) and it said "update terminate UPDATE FAIL" now I cant boot into my phone. Is there a way to fix this?
I've tried redownloading the file from 4 different sources now and continue to get the error. Any help would be great
Did you check the md5sum to make sure it was a complete download?
im not sure what you mean by that. I used winmd5sum and got that they were different. What should it say?

A little initiative, PLEASE.
Okay the one I got says that its the same. Now when it boots up stuck in the rainbow screen and says there is no img file. Anything else i can try or should i just take it to tmobile and tell them it stopped during update?
Posted this in the UPGRADING section but it may be better suited here, I'm not completely sure.
So I think I just bricked my dads vogue.
I followed the instructions in the HOW TO FLASH YOUR VOGUE thread as best as I could and now I'm in a rough position. He's been ranting about the WinMo OS almost since he got it and wanted to try Android so I tried to flash it.
What's going on:
Blank (black) screen
Backlight is on
Orange status(?) LED
Unresponsive to anything
Powering up yields a green status LED, one buzz of the vibration, call & end keys light up then it reverts to the above. Takes 1 or 2 seconds.
Plugging in the USB gives me "Found New Hardware: Data Interface" but I don't have the drivers or w/e is required to install it.
Any one able to help me? I figured this should be pretty straight forward but it's turning out to be a nightmare. :cries:
After you flash the android rom, you have to load a system image and data image into it. That may be normal.
Note, I have not flashed mine to Android, but it seemslike your missing the next step in the process.
This may help...
The bottom may help with the bricking and the top may help with android.

nope it isnt bricked just reflash windows and use android via haret...sounds kernel related
With advice from the other thread I'm in bootloader(?) mode

Here is NFSFANS ROM windows 6.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432487
The files from this forum will contain a program called ROMUpdateUtility. Run that in boot mode. Then run NFSFANS verizon provisioning. all files are on that forum. Just remember...Your device is not bricked (as it sounds). You could brick it though. So be careful. You may wanna get advice from a Verizon User.

Yes, from a Sprint stand point though.
-download NFSFANS ROM
-Extract all the files from NFSFANS ROM to a new folder.
-Enter BootLoader
-Once it loads up plug your phone into your computer
-In your new folder there should be like 10 files...one of which say ROMUpdateUtility. Click and run that.
-Follow all the instructions on it.
-When it finishes...your phone will auto reboot.
-Once loaded up, Download Verizons Provesioning from NFSFANS ROM (you will find the link of the download towards the bottom of the first post NFSFAN has posted)
-Connect your phone to ur pc and put the Verizon Provesioning Cab on your sd card and install it.
-Restart your phone.
That should work.
Thanks a ton, I'm 35% into the RUU.
I'll keep everyone updated.

Just attempted this and it went terribly wrong
everything was okay until it tried pushing the logo to my sdcard (which failed with "permission denied") - it then said it couldn't copy the file from sdcard because it didn't exist.
I proceeded to unmount the sdcard from the phone and try it again which seemed to work. I shut the phone down and when I attempted to turn it back on it just remained off... I was able to get into download mode with odin 1-click and flash to stock (thank God).
- Serendipity 5.7
- I9000 .rar package
- logo_ATNT.jpg < 20K
was it the unmounting that did the trick? and can I just manually move the file onto /mnt/sdcard/ and edit the .bat file to skip the push?
Worked perfectly for me I love the nexus boot screen with my nexus boot animation Thank you connexion

I'm not sure but it sounds like you didn't make sure that busy box was installed. As for not turning back on, I'm surprised at that. I soft bricked a vibrant building the vibrant files and got out of it but that was my fault pulling the usb cable out accidentally before ODIN was done. The answer to your question is yes, you can just flash the param.lfs tar file, verify busy box apk is installed and so is busy box, then just manually move the file. The script is built for simplicity. I'm sorry you had trouble.

Also, you did let the phone try to boot for a sec right? In some cases when you don't have a boot screen after the flash you won't get a dirty pixel screen but it will be black for the 5-10 seconds it attempts to show you whats there. I just want to make sure you were not prematurely turning the phone off.

yeah, i attempted to turn back on twice (hold power for about 3-4 seconds, wait about 10) after it seemingly succeeded - I pulled battery in between jic.
the .bat file said busybox install failed because it was already installed... how else can I verify that bb is installed?
I'm going to try again once I get another ROM back on my phone because I really want to get at&t off my phone
thanks for your hard work and responses
this was going to be my boot image if anyone wants to use

That will install the application on the phone. But, before you finish the rest of the batch script, you must open the app on the phone and make sure it's installed. It will look and tell you. If it's not click install busybox. When it's done, continue with the batch script. I'd start fresh also btw. Reflash with ODIN on the tar package then launch the script.

Hah, no problem, we all do
i would like to know to which folder the OTA's get automatically downloaded.
you see, i have a stock g2, rooted s-off, i have a custom recovery, bacon bits and all that. however, i never updated my phone with an OTA.. and so for a time now i would get an OTA and keep postponing it.. then it would go away again for good.. until recently it started popping up yet again.
so this morning i decided that i would update. my current build is 1.19.531.1 and the update would take me to 1.22.xxx something build.
so i clicked "restart & install" and it restarted and took me to recovery (i have clockwork recovery). but it didnt automatically install the update. so i tried doing it manually within recovery and didnt know which folder to point to.
i ended up rebooting and my build version didn't change, but when i go to system updates it says that i'm up to date now.
can anyone help me out with this?
thank you!
There will be a file in your /cache folder.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
In the main OTA thread we found the URL, so you can just download it again manually: http://android.clients.google.com/p...MOUS_2.15.531.3-1.22.531.8_release_197463.zip
WHAT!

Download "Update package of Android GB for OPEN device" from this link and then flash it from recovery. You should be able to use your device again on 1.0

Well, if you installed this ROM then you should be able to root by this method and then you can install custom recovery.
that method for me as like asking me to make new window 11
the Q, why if i try to install any SD update it say signature failed?
