Root How To Fully Unroot And update guide

Do This At Your OWN Risk.

Ok I figured I would make this so people can update to M140. If you have Gnm recovery or root. I have made a new stock m130 rom. That has a pure stock boot.img. I am also posting the boot.img by its self. For those that have root without gnm recovery, but have a moded bootimg.

First this is for root with moded boot.img. No gnm recovery {this means you have stock recovery on phone}.

Make sure you have all stock apps on phone {this means all the apps that the phone came with from Verizon}.
Then download my stock boot.img will be in post later.
Then download my multi tool. unzip multi tool any where. put boot.img in the multi tool file. note the stock boot.img that comes with the multi tool is moded and will not work. then run multi tool.bat. select option 2. And let it flash the boot.img. Then you can let it reboot. Then you can update phone.

Note when you update you may lose root.

Now for those that have gnm recovery.
first do a factory reset and wipe cache. then install my new stock m130 rom will be posted later in the thread. let it reboot. then download my multi tool, unzip, take stock recovery.img from folder and place in folder that has the multi tool.bat in it. then run multi tool.bat. select 1 and let it flash. then it should reboot to stock recovery. the stock should have the triangle with the android guy. when you get to that screen on your phone pull battery. then boot phone normally. then update phone.

Ok now on m140 root is the same as m130.

Go here and follow root guide.

M130 Rooted
go here for multi tool. http://androidforums.com/commando-all-things-root/717534-multi-tool-oneclick-installer-root.html

Any way you can fix the link? I'm pretty sure it's not the right file.

Have updated guide this should help people trying to upgrade.

Is there any way to do this all from the phone like gnm recovery? The only comp I have access to doesn't allow me to install programs.

don't forget to factory reset and cache. let it reboot. then download my multi tool, unzip, take stock recovery.img from folder and place in folder that has the multi tool.bat in it. then run multi tool.bat. select 1 and let it flash. then it should reboot to stock recovery. the stock should have the triangle with the android guy. when you get to that screen on your phone pull battery. then boot phone normally. then update phone.

I assume you're not susposed to flash the rom before you do the factory reset, and wipe the cache...

lol, there's no help is there. No red light on the side either, not recognized by my computer; except as a Ports (COM & LPT)--CASIO C771 USB Virtual Serial Port (COM3) :eek:

Is it necessary to have the stock boot.img to update? Also can't I dd the stock recovery to its respective partition?

yes it is necessary to have the stock boot.img. it will not let you update with a modded boot.img. trust me I have tried and failed.
as for the recovery. if you know how too dd it then that's fine to. I made this guide easy so anyone can use it. not everyone will be able to understand how to. if they mess up they could flash recovery to the wrong partition.

should wipe first but I have done it both ways and not had a problem. then again not every phone is the same. there is no help. I have tried every way I can find to recover a bricked phone with no luck.

Okay I'm trying to avoid a data wipe, so I'm looking to make the recovery-from-boot.p into an actual recovery.img that way I can fastboot flash the stock boot.img and dd the recovery.img, then restore the stock apps and update. Or if you happen to have the 130 stock recovery.img that would be awesome. I'm a Galaxy Nexus guy, but I'm hooking my buddies commando up. I know my way around android, so I'd hate to have to wipe data and restore crap on a phone that isn't mine!

ok the stock recovery.img is posted. just download my multi tool and unzip it. the folder marked stock recovery has the recovery.img in it. and you can flash the stock recovery and stock boot.img with my tool. if you want too.

Thank you very much friend! You mind if I ask how you did that? I'm always trying to learn, did you just boot into the stock ROM and dump the recovery.img?

There is 2 ways. You can dd the img. Or you can cheat. When you install gnm recovery. It make a dump recovery.img on your sdcard. That is the stock recovery. The dd way is this.
Cmd window adb shell then su. Then type cat /dev/mtd/mtd6 > /sdcard/mtd6.img then go to sdcard rename mtd6.img to recovery.img. mtd6 is the partition that the recovery is on. Ok there is my lesson for the day. Lol

ok had rooted with gnm, followed guide, did the stock rom, followed by stock recovery, got triangle. Noticed when i booted up phone, it still had superuser app in apps, tried to update, recieved "IP_PREVIOUS_UPDATE_FAILED"

the unpacker got to about 25% and failed....any ideas?

Willster419 · Dec 22, 2013

has anyone noticed that the m140 update installs a new recovery? is it the same recovery?
also i was curious and tried to install the update with the gnm recovery, but it does not work. i had a backup so it's all good, but the phone is still at m130. looks like i need to activate each phone and update, then de-activate. sigh

my unpacker got to about 75% and failed...looking at the script i would guess it has to do with the boot image, but I used your stock rom update for it...
or it might have finished, but not rebooted. im not sure. i treid doing it from a file with the cache command.

monkeytools · Dec 23, 2013

more than likely. you must have all stock apps and stock bootimg and stock recovery. being rooted doesnt matter much. if you get paid version of supersu you can get root survival mode. that works really good for keeping root.

my other phone that was activated on the verizon network updated successfully. thanks monkeytools

I saw in the RedPill [ROM] Thread that if you are coming from a very old build say, m30, the baseband will not work with your stock image. I really need to get a stock image on my phone so it will accept OTA updates which will allow me to update all the way and eventually use the redpill rom. I installed the redpill rom just to see if it would work-it loads up fine but the baseband is unknown. I'm wondering if I can install this stock m130 rom and then update over wifi. or will that not work because I need to be on a wireless network first to be prompted for the OTA update? Thanks for your hard work on this

you need to be on the verizon network to receive and download the update.
