Ok guys heres the deal....i recently got a samsung fascinate from my sister cause I couldnt mod my inc any more. ok so....i got the phone rooted. i have su perm. i downloaded rom manager and installed it. now heres my problem. i can preform a backup no problem, but when i go to restore that backup it boots into clockwordmod and begins and then get an error about erasing boot img. or something like that. can tell exactly if i get some help from this. also cant install custom roms like i can with my incredible. i know it can be done cause i see roms and all for this phone. can someone please please help me.
Thats because cwm3 will not perform nandroid restores on stock roms. You need to flash cwm 2.5.1.x red recovery. Its the best recovery imo for any bml(touchwiz) rom. Go over to my guide in general section and you cand find cwm 2.5 in section 2&5. Oh and ditch rom manager...manually install cwm via odin!
If you're coming from an incredible, also keep in mind you don't have to be rooted to flash roms either, you just have to have a custom recovery. There aren't really any modifications like rooting procedures, S-OFF, etc, required for rom flashing, just odin a recovery and flash your selected rom.
I rooted my samsung fascinate and falshed a CM7 stable, i loved it except for the fact that my GPS wasn't working. So after some reading and research, i learned that i would have to CWM recovery, flash back to stock, get a gps lock, and then restore back to CM7 and i would have a lock.
Few things went wrong, in my original rooting, i somehow managed to wipe data/cache, thus wiping the stock rom from the phone before i could make a recovery of the rooted stock rom. So when i went back to stock with Odin, i had to completely go back to stock (recovery, stock froyo, stock kernel, etc.) Even at completely stock i still couldn't get GPS lock, even though i could get gps lock before initial root, does anyone know why? I thought it was just Cyanogenmod but i flashed MIUI and still couldn't get lock, yet i was able to get a lock with out root.
after not being able to get a lock, i still needed to get back to my recovery that i made of CM7, problem is i'm not sure which version of CWM recovery i used in order to make the recovery, i'm almost certain that it was the recovery that came with the older rom manager version in the CM7 build i used, but i've tried multiple CWM recoveries and none of which is able to read the recovery files correctly and the recovery can't be fully restored. is there anyway to see exactly which version of CWM was used in order to create the dated backup files on my SD card? Or do i just have to keep trying different versions until one works? I've tried the latest CWM from ROM Manager for the fascinate, but unfortunately the latest version is still unable to read the recovery files
any help is appreciated. cheers.
...You dont have to root to flash a custom rom. That being said there is a guide in the general section that explains how to do things properly.
I have a cwm backup of my stock rom from the day I got my device. Obviously, I had to install cwm to make the backup.
How can I get back the stock recovery? I did some searching on the dev forum, but didn't find anything. Is there an odin flashable file somewhere?
I want my device to be completely stock. Triangle-away (to reset the counter in download mode) is not working yet, but hopefully it will soon
I apologize if I'm missing something obvious here. Thanks!
guys anyone know where i can get a zip of the Stock recovery to flash via CWM or teamwin so it goes back to stock. my usb is broken and i have no way in doing so.
stock recovery for ics 4.0.4 btw
Hello there,
Need Help on urgent basis. I am still using HTC Explorer . I need Help with multiple things.
I was on custom rom with Philz Touch recovery. My phone started to do some issues with soft keys. I Tried some other ROM but nothing changed. I reverted back to the same ROM and then even my touch started to mess up.
I did restore of my old Stock ROM. (Backup I did before installing Custom ROM)
Now my touch is much better and soft keys are working much better.
I want to do a factory reset on stock ROM to see if can get rid of this soft key and touch issue because reverting back to stock ROM did a good job in almost solving my issue now my questions are:
1. Stock ROM but custom recovery (Philz Touch Recovery) is it possible to do factory reset in this situation or I have to revert back to stock recovery?
2. I am facing issue with fastboot my phone does not connect in fastboot mode it does shows Fastboot USB but on my computer it says Waiting for device need help with this too.
3. If anyone knows about the method to flash stock recovery without using PC then kindly do let me know.
4. I am using Stock ROM backup. ROM which came already installed on my device. Do I need to download RUU or it is just fine to do factory reset on this ROM.
Reply as fast as you can guys because I have only this one phone to use and I am tired of trying alot of things now I just want to do factory reset and then start over again.
Regards,
Usman Aly
