I did it a lil different. I took a nandroid backup n put all the files in a folder n named it stock. Then I put that folder in the CWM/backup/ folder, then just did a restore thru CWM like a normal. Worked for me and thats how we got LuLu back up and running, well almost, LuLu dl'ed the zip file I uploaded and did a install zip from sdcard. This method might be a lil easier for those who cant grasp installing the SDK's or to cheap to buy a usb card reader lol


I like your wiki, a few things on there I wanna check out

This seems to be working for me. I'll let you know the results

 

[genovdot]

Well once i said that it completed And I rebooted. It worked just fine. I didnt have my drivers installed, thats why I wanted to go back stock because I know it contained the drivers I needed. Now im gonna flash back to either Icarus 1.1 (I miss that rom.lol) or cm7.

 

[Dsanders77]

Had to flash to stock this AM, and found that the recovery ROM is an updated version from what my phone came with originally. It has cleaned up some lag issues and has some 2.2 like features in the interface. I tired it rooted and bloat-frozen, and it runs OK. NOT in the same league as CM7, but for non-root users or those that like rooted stock, it might be an option.

I have the metro pcs ascend and when i press and hold the end button with the volume down button and power on it gets stuck on the huawei screen. I just started my account with this site but i have used it in the past for everything with my phone. Jazz you have helped me countless times but for some reason this time it isnt working. Is there another way i can try to go about this.

 

[wolfpacknemo]

But when i start up the phone normally it usually makes it all the way to my home screen but the home screen is black and there is the status bar that is accessible. when i hold the power button that response shows up and it makes sounds like it normally does with the volume control.

I tried to do this step by step, it's been an hour and the black window is on my screen and it's says < waiting for device >
What gives? I really need to flash my phone back to stock, it's a metro pcs and im using windows xp.

go to device manager and remove adb android 1.0 than uninstall the drivers and reinstall them. ascend usb drivers.rar

Ok yesterday i was messing around with my ascend( i have metro), and i acidently added cricket to my phone which totally messed it up. It took me hours to fix. Anyway, when i got metro back on my phone, it says no data connection, so i cant do anything, like call people, text, misc.
Sooooooooooo........... What do i do?!?!?!?!?

 

[KOLIO]

I'd do a factory reset & start over.

did that but it didnt work

 

[AndroidFan420]

Sounds like you need to input the apn settings manualy just find the apn settings for your carrier and put them in ur phone

 

[Chedder]

OK I've been trying for a month now to force flash to stock and I downloaded the cricketrecoverypackage and when I try to use it says error message when I try to extract it says empty no files wtf and where exactly do I put the dload file on my sd card

 

[KOLIO]

Which ROM are you currently running?Have you just tried to do a factory reset?

 

[Chedder]

Stock and yes when it comes on it has a black screenand wont do anything

 

[CobraDeath]

Ok, like i said, i asccidently flashed my phone to cricket, and now i got it back to metro, now i have no data service( and b4 u say FLASH IT, i did that a 100 times and didnt work) so what do i do?

 

[Tokenpoke]

What did you flash to? Metro stock recovery?

You may need to reprogram the phone for service.

Unfortunately I don't know how but I'm sure Lord Google can help.

 

[lordt78]

Is there going to be a flash back to stock 2.2 instead of 2.1?

 

[KOLIO]

Ok, like i said, i asccidently flashed my phone to cricket, and now i got it back to metro, now i have no data service( and b4 u say FLASH IT, i did that a 100 times and didnt work) so what do i do?

If you are back on METRO & still have no data service,just take it to a METRO dealer to reset,if hitting the 'FACTORY RESET' button isn't working for you.Also,on CRICKET,we dial *228 to get a refresh signal.Don't know what the METRO equivalent is.Also,make sure you're not in 'ROAMING' mode.

EDIT: The *228 function should work on both CRICKET & METRO PCS.
