Did you buy this new or used off someone,this is not a stock recovery,way to many options for it to be,someone would have had to rooted the phone.and or installed a custom Rom,is there a nandroid backup on the SD card anywhere,if not you will have to search V forums for a stock zip.

 

[cvc7chris]

imma need the stock probably nd how to flash it. and i bought it brand new but i can't remember if i rooted it or not. i don't recall

Seriously? You can't remember if you rooted it or not? Perhaps one of the guys in the Everything Root forum listed at the top of the forum index can help you. They seem to be pretty knowledgeable and responsive to requests for help. Good luck.

i'll hit the section up. thnx

No need, I've moved this thread over to All Things Root.

 

[cvc7chris]

i honestly have no idea how to use ADB commands. and i tink i had the back up on the SD card and when i use the nand backup option and restore it. it won't do nothing

 

[JerryScript]

You have a custom recovery on your phone, so you must have rooted it at some point. Now you if you want to go back to stock, you will need to follow the thread at xda-devlopers forums on returning to stock.

 

[cvc7chris]

whwere is the custom recovery on my SD card? i think its a thuderb root? that's what it says at the bottom when its on the recovery screen

 

[JerryScript]

If you are in the recovery screen, what version does it say?

 

[cvc7chris]

says this at bottom

build: RA-thunderc-1.1.0-GNM

when i go to nand restore i get all of these options

bcdas-20110516-2106
bcds-20110516-2108
bcdeas-20110516-2142
bcds-20110517-0453
bcds-20110517-0457
bcds-20110517-0533
bcds-20110517-0534

lol i'm confused. which one should it be?

 

[cvc7chris]

1) Extract the "BCDS-20110203-0357" file into the "nandroid" folder, under the "mem=477M" subfolder.
1a) For Clockwork Recovery, place the "BCDS-20110203-0357" file in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
2) Boot into recovery
3) Go into the "Backup/Restore" menu, and select "Nand Restore"
4) Allow it to restore
5) Reboot! System should be stock
6) Go below and flash stock recovery

i've done everything. i put the files in the folder mentioned and when i restore it won't reboot to stock. still same screen as before

 

[cvc7chris]

bump. can anyone help me. it won't work still

 

[JerryScript]

How did you put the files in the folders mentioned?

 

[cvc7chris]

i used WinRar and Extracted them onto the Sim card while the phone was hooked up thru the "USB toggle" mode

 

[JerryScript]

So you can boot your phone up normally? Sorry, a bit confused as to your situation.

 

[cvc7chris]

it wont boot up normally its stuck in recovery mode. like i turn it on and its recovery mode no matter what.

 

[JerryScript]

So you are using ADB to put files on the phone then?

Assuming your answer is yes, place one of the custom ROMs on your phone and flash it.

 

[cvc7chris]

how do i use ADB to put the files on the phone?

How did you get the phone into USB toggle mode if it only reboots into recovery?

To put any ROM onto your phone using ADB:

1) open a command window and cd into the directory adb is in, normally in c:/android/platform-tools

2) make sure your phone is connected via usb and turned on

3) type in the command window: adb connect

4) once adb is running and connected, type:
adb push c:/THE-PATH-TO-THE-ROM /sdcard/NAME-OF-ROM-FILE

5) type adb shell

6) type reboot recovery (edited)

7) once in recovery, select wipe cache, and under advanced select wipe dalvik cache

8) go back to the main recovery menu, and select install zip

9) choose your ROM's zip file

10) once it is finished installing, go back to the main recovery menu and select reboot

The first boot after installing a new ROM takes alot longer, so be patient.

 

[cvc7chris]

well in the recovery mode, it had a optiion for USB MS toggle or something so i used that to connect the phone as a mass storage to the computer.

 

[cvc7chris]

^ i tried that, but i'm not getting the address right. i believe mines like

c:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools/adb.exe?

i type that and all of these adb commands come up but then if i type adb connect it won't work
