So you ran the RUU on your computer and have the phone back to stock?

 

[XmutantX]

yes but keypad is not ligting and i need it back

 

[DragonSlayer95]

Just the keypad isn't lighting up? Keyboard is working though right? I'd say go into the keyboard options and look for a setting relevant to this.

the x+ doesnt have a physical keyboard,i believe hes refering to just the soft key lights.

id try toggling the auto brightness setting(i use the power control widget). i find on alot of roms,the soft keys are somewhat kooky if you leave the auto brightness on. its just trying to save you some battery.

failing that,maybe research the general section,and see if other users have had this issue with the OTA,it may be a bug in the new software.

might be goot to stay stock for a few days,and check for updates incase a bug fix OTA is sent out.

rest assured,however,that your issue is not from the ruu itself. if it turns out to be a prollel with the update,youd have had the same issues to have update Over The Air.

This is what I would also suggest... I've had this problem on a couple of custom ROM's and found that doing what Scotty suggests has sorted out the issues

To use Titanium Backup, you need to be rooted. By running the RUU, you are back on stock (no longer rooted).

 

[XmutantX]

yes correct durx but how do i restore the backup i made with titanium backup or is tere an alternate method

 

[D-U-R-X]

You would need to be rooted to restore the backup. You would be able to do it using Titanium Backup.

 

[scotty85]

In a nutshell, you will need to re unlock, re install recovery, reflash superuser, then download titanium to restore.

The backup folder you made prior is probably still on your SD . If not, just transferred over from the PC after you are rooted and have titanium install.

Just make sure you do not use Titanium to restore any system data. Only use Titanium to restore user app

 

[XmutantX]

but suppose i get another update from ota then this whole mundane task of relocking has to be done again right. which is why i want to leave it stock and resotre the backup. without going through the process of unlocking boot and installing clockwork and rooting.
hmm or can we only unlock bootloader and root and bypass unstalling clockwork recovery

 

[scotty85]

Those issues are why I suggested you stay stock for few days. It is possible to temporarily launch recovery without installing it to install superuser, but doing so well not necessarily guarantee you to be able to take ota updates.

I'm at work right now, but I can go into more detail later this evening.

 

[D-U-R-X]

Often, after an update is released, the ROM devs release a stock, rooted ROM over at XDA, which you would be able to install via ClockWorkMod (at least I've seen this happen for my phone)

hi guys i stumbled on something intersting, share your thoughts and let me know
if this works for one x + as well

[SOLVED]update OTA without relocking the bootloader | Android - Ice Cream Sandwich Forums

could you tell me if this useful for jb too.

 

[XmutantX]

so once again thanks so much for helping me out esp you scotty and u too durx.
now i was able once again unlock , flash with twrp recovery and root once again. and
restore with titanium. but the earlier backup i made with titanium wasnt ther so i took
the one from my pc where i backed up and placed it in my titanium folder on my phone and restore.

so i want to help those who like me got confused to look at my post and look below
where i put the link to keep ur root, so you dont have to go thru that mundane task.
and receive ota updates with bootloader unlocked and rooted and this works pretty much with stock rom and is safe but still always have a backup handy. although in the link that flashing ota updates on custom roms may not be good.

as i mentioned above,just haveing the stock recovery is not always enuff. a few other things can cause the OTA to fail:
-not being on a "release" version software
-deleting bloatware
-modifying the stock rom. this is a somewhat vauge statement,as some things that you can mod will not affect the OTAs abilility to install,some will.
-being on firmware that doesnt match the software(for example,installing a stock rom on older hboot,radio,etc)
-maybe even some other things we dont know

its also pointless,IMO,to use the voodoo rootkeeper. i honestly have no idea why folks get so freaked out at the notion of temporarily losing their root access. one very distinct advantage of htcdev unlock,is that one is aways able to easily re-root by reflashing superuser in recovery.

well,looks like im a day late/dollar short with this info,since you decided to go ahead and permanently reinstall your recovery. but... you could have easily temporarily launched your recovery into phone memory,rather than installing it.

just like you used the following to permantly install recovery:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img

you could have just launched recovery,so it was temporary with this command:
fastboot boot recoveryname.img

you could have used this temporary recovery to make a nandroid backup,and flashed your superuser files,without out overwriting your stock recovery image. if you had gone this route,and were careful not to mod your rom too much,chances are good that you could have accepted any followup OTAs.

your only option now,is to reinstall the stock recovery,like you installed clockwork(as your link describes). however,its not easy like it used to be to pull images from stock ruus.

we used to be able to extract rom.zip from the .exe utility,and use a utility such as 7-zip to erxtract it,giveing us access to all the images inside. however,htc has tightened the reins on this,compressing rom.zip with something that no one has figured out a way yet to open with windows.

so im afraid your only option for obtaining a stock recovery is to find someone who was able to dump that partition another way,and uploaded it somewhere for folks to download. that,or you could relock and run the ruu again

 

[XmutantX]

yes i know i should have listened scotty, but hey incase my phone gets bricked while updating with ota keeping intact my root and twrp recovery will there be anyway to
get back my phone to work after its bricked.

Also please do find a stock recovery image for the ruu update i made with my phone.

thanks
