That means I did something wrong. I am already uploading another version.

OMG it worked Thank you!

one question thought why is the font weired

 

[Jimmy422]

It flashes successfully, but this isn't anywhere near stock. The stock launcher (not touchwiz but the stock ICS launcher) is gone and it's got some weird font that I can't switch out out of.

Also didn't restore any of the stock apps.

 

[xInterlopeRx]

Ok, so the first image I had was corrupt, but I got another. It was missing some files, but hey, some of you can now boot your phone. Sure, the text is a bit weird, but did we agree that a booting phone is better than nothing? Here's what's gonna happen. The link in this post SHOULD install all the system apps and install Busybox and SuperUser. Now again, it's untested. If you can wait I am uploading another factory zip that has all the system apps and the problem with the text removed. It'll be linked in a couple hours in the OP. Like I said in a previous post. If you are patient, we will get you all fixed up.

That look real nice to me!

That worked perfectly. I was able to download another font so I'm good for now. Back in business, thanks a ton.

Out of curiosity, where did you find that?

Other than that, yes, this is working for my phone. I'm back online and I'm very grateful for your work, Interloper!

 

[bgigs2012]

The only thing I wish to have in an updated that its missing is the weather/clock widget and bubble system sounds maybe Sprint I'd if you could

 

[Blackout720]

System/Fonts/ there I think 4 fonts. I deleted one and it worked but my apps like play store where still weird so i kept going and i deleted 3 more and when i booted up it worked. I also did a factory reset also just to make sure that it did work. iM not saying you have to factory reset. I think one was Robotic font or something like that.

Is Google Search Bar not working? Anyone? Can't install the version from the Play Store either.

I also noticed that there's a couple of keyboards missing from the settings. Personally, I don't mind Swype being gone, but the voice recognition thing is something I used frequently. I mean, technically it's there, but whatever was originally in this device was quicker and easier.

Just something I noticed. No pressure or time constraints; I'm happy knowing my phone is useful again.

I had the same issue. I suggest you install Google Now. Not only is it awesome, but the voice to text is better than the stock one.

Problem is, the fourth and fifth steps in those instructions are exactly why I was soft bricked and needed this ROM. So I'm not exactly inclined to try it again. But I do have backups now so it might not be so bad I guess...

EDIT: Yeah, flashing M7_Offline.zip is totally cool. I have Google Now on my device. Not bad. :O

That's actually also how I broke my stock ROM too! The easy way is to just download the M7_offline.zip and flash it using CWM. That's what I did and it worked fine.

 

[xInterlopeRx]

The OP was update with a full ROM and no weird text symlinks. I thought I had notified in the thread, but maybe I forgot.

 

[cobretti]

WHAT!?!? You guys don't like my font?

 

[superboy4444]

WHAT!?!? You guys don't like my font?

I liked it Cobretti, you wanna post your font file up? I want it, but I don't want to download the entire rom and flash it, I am happy where I am

 

[siyangqiu]

How did you guys flash M7_Offline.zip? CWM on my phone can't mount the storage.

Try pushing with adb to internal. Once I have some info on the mounting problem I can fix it. Or, you can flash cwm-test-5. I didn't get much feedback on that one.

I wanted to give xInterlopeRx a personal and public thank you!..

I ran into some problems with my Reverb. After rooting ( you can already see where this is going ) I installed the Beats audio drivers.. Well, they took out the sound on my device.. and voice & data as well! The device wasn't bricked.. but it was as useful as a paperweight...

I sent xInterlopeRx a email on CHRISTMAS EVE.. and this guy didn't blow it off till after the holidays.. He replied right back and I set about telling him what I did.. the symptoms & the screens I saw. And over the course of Christmas Eve to CHRISTMAS DAY he got me rolling again..

Now, this isn't a suck up.. The job is done.. It is a sincere thank you. I don't know many people who would help out a stranger on a holiday like that..

John.. the next time I'm rolling through El Paso.. The first round or 2 are on me.. Thanks again...
