Root [GUIDE] How To Receive OTAs Again If You Are On A Leak

johnlgalt · Dec 27, 2011

That's where I started as well.

I think that with the myriad of things that you can do to your phone after applying an update / leaked update, it's almost impossible to make the process absolutely foolproof. The best we'll have to settle for is having fixes being written into the scripting to account for a new problem that was not anticipated previously. My understanding is that P3 and cellzealot are doing exactly that....

I could not get the one click method from p3 to work. I kept getting a different error each time I tried.

i found this method here:

Get to 5.5.893 OTA from ANY LEAK - RootzWiki

It worked great. Back onto the path with rooted 5.5.893!!!! I have learned my lesson. I am staying far away from 901 or any other leaks or soak tests!

I used this guide today, took about an hour for myself, and I got real freaked out during the system recovery taking so long to load up... but now I am back from 5.7.893 to 5.5.893 and hopefully on track for the next OTA!

no hopefully about it - you're on track.

I've provided a reliable link for open0your0eyes1's guide and fileset (about 600 MB) through my paid MF account. He has updated his post with my links, using his DropBox links as a backup link to the file.

So I ran P3's script (staying on the 893 build, not 5.9.901), was up and running but I was having issues with root.

So this morning I ran the script again. It got so far as to reboot into recovery- but instead of install the update from SD card like it says to do, I accidentally hit reboot.

At first I didn't think it would be a big deal, I had already gone through all this yesterday, and the phone had just loaded up fine before the reboot to recovery.

But now the script window seems to be stuck at "Waiting to root your new build" (with a note about daemon started successfully) and the phone is sitting at the AP Fastboot Flash Mode screen- with "Invalid CG Version (CG: boot) written below.

Am I stuck or should I just keep waiting?

Edit: Nevermind, got it sorted. I just rebooted the phone into recovery manually, hit the update and everything continued properly. Still having root issues, but I can play with that over time- was just afraid to brick on that precious step.

I think I may have screwed this up. I followed the steps down to flashing the radio.zip, but then realized that I'd copied the zip file onto sdcard and not sd-ext. Now it's not showing as a flashable file, since it looks like it only looks in sd-ext. Is there some way to get it to look in sdcard, or is there some way to transfer it over to sd-ext? The only thing I can boot to right now is the stock recovery and fastboot. Please tell me I'm not hosed.

You can remove your ext-sd from your phone, put it in a memory card reader, use your computer to copy the file, then put it back in your phone.

I apologize in advance if this is a silly question or has already been answered.

I am stuck on 5.7.893 and my phone is stock other than that software update (unrooted - and I don't know much about the rooting process and all that)

I plan on doing a factory reset on this phone since it is going to be given to my sister, so I was going to get all my stuff off, then do a factory reset, then try to do this so I can eventually get it to ICS. Since my phone is unrooted and will be reset to factory settings, do I follow the same instructions to get my phone back to 5.5.896 then to 5.9.901??
