If you ever want another rom like ICS. Just ask and ill upload it for you to download. Lmk and ill have it uploaded by tomorrow. Btw this process is like that foe EVERY rom you install. you don't HAVE to backup when you want to install a new rom. but its really recommended. as long as you have a backup of your original USCC rom, Youll be fine.
and you never have to format system again. That was just to clear the old data left over from your partitions

Same thing happens when I go to hboot. It wont let me scroll down. Then it goes to the SD Checking.... and all that I told you before about no image blah blah then says Model ID Incorrect Update Fail! and wont let me do anything....

 

[liamf1]

add me on xbox.

 

[liamf1]

wait what .img files do you have on your sd card. and .zip ???

 

[jreuter21]

Hey Im really sorry, I appreciate you taking your time helping me do this but I have to run to pick up my son quick. Ive delayed as long as possible. Any way we can finish this later? Real sorry. Dont wanna bail halfway through but im dead if I dont go now lol.

 

[liamf1]

Thats cool. Just reply on what .img and .zip files are on your sd card.

 

[jreuter21]

How do I find that out?

 

[liamf1]

just look at your sd card contents on the computer.. did you ever put a pb99.img (or something like that) file on your sdcard before from your past rooting tries?

 

[liamf1]

wat no. I looked at your past posts. delete the pb99img.zip off your sd card.

 

[jreuter21]

yeah the pb99 was the only thing that looked like a img or zip on there (that I know of) Ill delete it quick

 

[jreuter21]

deleted...

 

[liamf1]

there you go! now do all the steps I told you!

 

[jreuter21]

It worked and wow this is awesome. Now I can start downloading some apps. Something I really couldn't do before the root. I'm way excited. Thanks so much!

 

[liamf1]

Thank you SuRoot for all of your help in this thread. I would have not been able to successfully help jreuter21 without your help.
And jreutter21, I hope all goes well for you in your future of android modding!
If you ever need any questions, feel free to PM me if its more personal. Or if its for everyone to see, just start a new thread!
See you around!

Do not use ROM manager, you have been warned - that sticky is there for good reason. You don't need it, flash from recovery its not difficult.

edit: never mind, tapatalk threw a fit thought last post was further up (still stands though)

 

[liamf1]

Im not trying to go agenst you or anything. I now know Clockwork Rec. is really bad. But what exactly does it do to your phone that its so bad?

 

[SUroot]

It's not clockwork that's bad. It's Rom manager. It adds sb additional software layer to go wrong, and does. Problems with broken back ups, boot loops, missing and broken data, corrupt partitions...

 

[liamf1]

So will this perm brick the phone? Like no going back? (for the people watching at home) Or could someone use an RUU to fix this?
