Request for Virgin Mobile Stock

Hello all,
So I bought my HTC Wildfire S Virgin Mobile on black friday like everybody else. I waited a few days and then rooted. And then I had the brilliant idea to try installing the CM 7.1 Mod for it. And well, I didn't do a Clockwork Backup, and well, it didnt work very well. The phone got stuck on the HTC screen. So finally I installed a different ROM, JikantaruROM, and I managed to get past the bootscreen but I can't use my carrier anymore. So I was wondering if anybody could either tell me how to flash CM 7.1 Unoffical release to my phone, or if anybody knew a way I could get back to the original Virgin Mobile software. It seems that you have all the other stock roms, so I would REALLY appreciate if someone could share the Virgin Mobile rom too.
Thanks in advance,
Wieland959

Seconded. Although I think mine is in a slightly worse case; I kept flashing roms and ended up in a state where it turns on, screen remains black, then the phone vibrates three times and evidently does nothing. So Wieland959, I'd advise you to stop flashing until someone posts the ROM.
And if someone could let me know how to recover from my current state, I'd very much appreciate it.

Your in the same boat I was just in. My solution was to go back to radioshack with the receipt and tell them it just turned off and wouldnt turn back on. Just doing the 3 vibrations. I did spend hours trying to search about how to fix it, but I dont think theres a way unless you use a jtag hookup and some sort of fancy programmer.
@Wieland959, If you want. I just tried to do the OTA update through the settings on the phone itself. It would let me download the file(I believe it should be flashable through the cwm recovery), but when I tried to let the phone install the file, I would get the android with the exclamation mark after the reboot. Ill try to post here, if it will upload. But......
DISCLAIMER!!!!
I take no responsibility for anyone damaging their phone using the file here. This file, as far as I know, should only work with the Wildfire S Virgin Mobile USA CDMA model A510C as this is the phone the file was downloaded from.

Thank you for the file, but I couldn't flash it. What might work though, if you are willing is, if you have rooted your phone, to make a cwm backup and upload that here. From there I should be able to recover and then factory wipe my phone. But thank you anyways for the file. I will keep kicking until the phone doesn't boot.

How are you planning on restoring from backup if the phone doesn't even boot?
Sorry, I'm new to this...

from the recovery, by holding down the vol down button and power button. then select recovery.
also, im in the same boat as OP haha

Okay. I managed to boot my phone and am able to send/receive texts. The rom I used? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367701] It seems to work pretty well. However, I would still like to have the original rom if someone could still upload it.

VM USA Stock Clockwork Backup
Well, I don't know much about stuff like this, but here is my clockwork mod recovery backup. It's just the stock VM USA w/HTC Sense. I have realized that I deleted the bloatware, so that's the only thing that isn't 100% stock. Hope it helps.
*Unzip the file before placing on you sd card. (Contains the clockwork folder, which contains the backup folder,and then the folder that contains the backup itself.)*

Is this a good rom? I'm looking for some senseless roms that will work with our version of the WFS. will you post if you are able to go back to the Stock Virgin backup that I have posted? Also how much memory is on the rom that you posted?

With the a2sd enabled, you get 150 to 175. It's nice.

I tried it and found my phone only had 75mb of internal storage available!!! Weird!!
Nevermind I figured out the problem. Ok. Just one question is there anyway I can get the nice clock back from the stock ROM?

Is anybody else having mms issues with the experimental ROM?

Thanks for the backup! It worked perfect for me!
would you mind if i posted the link on another forum? i know of a couple people looking for a backup aswell.
You should be able to switch back with the recovery no problem. Correct me if I'm wrong, but to install boot into recovery, install from SD, select specific, and select the zip of the rom. Also, I don't have my phone on me so the wording might be a little different.
MMS is a known issue with the rom from what I've read. I don't have it installed personally.

@brandonhun, Thank you so much. You're a life saver. As far as the rom goes, it still have sense on it and there are tons of MMS errors. So just wait and eventually something will pop up.

Just a heads up wieland, when you get a voice mail and you try to check it from the notifications make sure it's your number, because I ended up giving brandonhun a call. Going through the activation app and rebooting fixed the problem.

I haven't done this ROM change but if its the stock HTC Sense go to personalize and get HTC widgets (perhaps its get more HTC widgets) and you should find an update to the clock widget. That should give you the original clock plus a bunch more new ones.

Download mode - Odin will only recognize when phone is booted up

I am at my wits end right now. I can see my phone on com3 when it is booted up all the way, but it will not see it when in download mode. I erroneously flashed this file earlier, forgetting I did not have a regular GSII: I9100_APBOOT_I9100XXKP2_CL17109_REV02_eng_mid_ship.tar.md5
What other information would help diagnose this problem?
I currently have stock EL26 installed.
Alternatively, is it safe to install CM9 from this recovery? Seems to me I should resolve this first..
edit: I do not have an unrecognized device, I have tried more than one usb cable and port

Try this:
Redownload the drivers for the phone, install them and let your cpu reset. See if Odin sees your phone then.
I know with my GT10.1 it takes a few seconds more for Odin to see it so... But my ET4G pops up pretty fast.
The EL26/CWM is the kernel/recovery that you want to use when your flashing CM9 Alfa 5 and below.
But like you said... You may want to figure out why Odin isn't seeing your phone when it's in download mode.
Also... Do you have Kies installed on your cpu??? It'll cause problems with Odin to.
Have you tried Mobile Odin for what you want to do. I do almost everything involving CM and flashing with it. Works like a charm.

WoW... He just edited his post as I was replying... Doesn't flashing an international tar mess up the bootloader??? I'm really not to sure where you go next.
If his phone still boots up okay couldn't help still use Mobile Odin and flash the right setup.

What is the right setup to use? A fresh GB rom install? I am at a loss at this point.
Yeah I ****ed up, I have not messed with my phone in many months.
Edit: driver reinstall did not work, do not have kies installed. mobile odin works on GB then? I can use the e4gt-autofix if that makes a difference. Updating from the stock recovery does not seem to work, it will start, then give me the ! triangle with sad android.

Unfortunately my friend, I think you are hosed. The international PIT file is exceptionally different from the one we use for our phone. I don't remember the specifics but basically it remaps your partitions and causes USB to not work correctly. Your best bet is to try a JTAG service. I've heard MobileTechVideos.com is pretty well rated.
Sorry!

My phone is currently functioning properly when booted up. What are the implications of this beyond not being able to change roms (and not having a notification bar..wtf)?
Edit: ok I take it back, mass storage is not working either. also, I am definitely willing to buy Mobile Odin if anyone has any ideas.

Not getting on you m8 but... Flashing a rom for another device even if it's the same model is really really bad. Like rwilco said, yes the International GS2 and our ET4G's are the same devices but there software is very different.

Well... Like you said, most likely you will not be able to make any changes as in roms, kernels or things like that. And if you have any hardware issue you won't be able to get any support from Sprint. And you sure as hell won't be able to receive any OTA's from Sprint or Samsung.
Can you do something for use... Go to "Settings" then "About Phone" and under "Model Number" & "Baseband Version" and tell us what it says there.
I'm not really sure this would/can help you but if your phone still boots and runs you maybe able to Odin the right tar file and see if that fixes it. I mean it could work but I really doubt it. And what's the worst that could happen... It could brick it, then you could file an insurance claim... Just saying...
Where did you get the file from that you flashed??? Most likely not from this (ET4G) forum, should have read up a bit more before you started messing around with flashing roms again. Some things aren't easily fixable.

I am a lucky SOB. I was able to use e4gtauto-sfx to put el29/CWM back on to my phone, and as a result I restored my nandroid backup. I have full function back, except, of course, no odin in download mode.
My baseband is S710.10 S.EK02 with standard model number sph d710.
I believe it came from the android forums, but like i said it was in the SGII area.
What tar file would I be looking for?

Doing some research m8... Give me a few mins....
Make sure you have Mobile Odin installed.

This is telling me that your on an older baseband... I'm running CM9 and my baseband reads "EL29" which I think is the most resent/updated baseband. I don't want to scare you but I really wish a dev would jump in here and shed some of there wisdom. (I'm almost to the point where I'm winging it.) But I feel we need to get your baseband to EL29.

Oh sweet Jesus, I promise.
Now when I do this will this wipe everything? I'm not terribly clear on that. Seems to me that it will.
I really appreciate the help man.

There are 2 different versions... One will wipe everything and one will leave all of your user data intact.
And like I said, I'm not a 100% sure this will fix it but I think we are moving in the right direction.
And not a problem... It's helping me learn more about what goes on inside our devices.
I am still a little worried about your bootloader though. If that was jacked up by flashing the wrong rom I don't know if this will fix it.
Question, when you hook up your device to your cpu when it's booted up are you still able to do things like transfer files and such???

EL29 was the last version of Gingerbread put out. You'll be able to use mobile Odin to flash stuff but you'll never get the USB to recognize in DL mode. I think jtag might be the only way to restore complete functionality.
---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 PM ----------
For now you'll be alright as long as you can get into recovery mode fine then you can flash modems in there(since mobile Odin can't flash them for our phone).

Your baseband (modem) should not matter and changing it won't have any affect on your problem. Good luck and let us know how out turns out.

Solved
I am posting now in case someone comes upon this post down the road.
I am now running cyanogen 9 on my e4gt. This thread saved me, as I was finally able to get odin to work. With that, I was able to flash a new recovery onto my phone (I used StockCWM-EL26). Then once I got that on there I flashed over to the Beta 1 build of Cyanogenmod for e4gt.
I'm sorry I can't be more clear or provide links, it took me a lot of crawling around the forums to figure this out. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than I can clean up/expand my post. Let me tell you though, it feels really good to get this thing running smoothly again.
If you have any questions I'll try to help.
Good luck, idiot!

[Q] By this point, i just want my phone back...

Its 2:30 in the morning. Its been all day. I dont come to ask a question on XDA unless i literally cannot for the life of me find the answer anywhere else on the whole of google.
For me, whether someone can help me here will make or break me writing off android as the worst operating system ever made, and moving back to iPhone full time.
Ill cut it short. I've owned PLENTY of android devices. All rooted and rommed and modded to my hearts content. Recently traded my i5 for a Galaxy Note 2- i317 AT&T. Rooted first night and running jedi xp14 ever since. Loved it.
Earlier today im jamming to some music with my new Monster Inspirations that i got brand new for half off (great deal). Phone reboots. Comes back. It has a circle with a slash across it (cancel sign) where my signal used to be. Im looking through settings when it reboots again. I soon realize every set amount of time (about 87 seconds) it just crashes and reboots. Flash a different rom. No signal. Reboots. Go back to old rom. Same problem. Attempt clockworkmod restore. No md5sum (it says mismatch.... Clockworkmod recovery is the most POS, stupid, moronic recovery have ever witnessed in my life. the status 7 fails and no ability to say F**K IT, IDC about md5sum JUST FLASH IT BECAUSE THIS IS AN EMERGENCY is just plain ignorant development.) I cant restore. I cant flash a different rom. No one i know knows what to do. No one on the internet seems to have the same problem. I could lose my job if i dont have a fully functioning phone by tomorrow with email and call capabilities.
I have no idea how to use odin aside from when i rooted my note 2 as i cant actually find a guide for it. i have a mame0142.zip thats apparently a AT&T modem i can flash and might save the day. I have no idea how to use it. I'm expected to know everything about everything. No begnngers guides. Im also out of state, in Florida, and now without a phone. Luckily i have a laptop, so i might have a chance at this. This is actually an emergency. I literally cannot sleep tonight until i know my phone is going to be working tomorrow. If its not i'll be driving over it with my Beetle and going to buy an i5 because i can't wait. I need my phone for my job. Also i have a lot of respect for the people of XDA, but please don't call me stupid, tech illiterate, a sheep, or blind because i would rather switch to Apple then have my phone have a critical failure from listening to Mixzing.
I feel like flashing the stock At&T i317 Modem/ Radio will fix the problem. Anyone who knows wher ei can find that and then what to do with that once i get it would greatly be appreciated.
I've no idea what caused this or how to fix it. I really, really, really dont care what has to be done, but my phone NEEDS to work by tomorrow.I dont care what rom/kernel/ anything it has to run to get it back to working, because if i cant get it fixed it's just going right in the trash. ANY help would be appreciated. I really don't want to spend money right now.
Thank you for your time reading my problem.

Awesome, thank you. now, I havent seen a good thread on what exactly you do with a Modem, or at least not one for a beginner. Can i flash it from CWM same as a kernel or rom or is this something that needs special treatment on a computer or something?

That modem is CWM/TWRP flashable. A good check is normally to open up the zip if it has a META-INF its normally a CWM file. If it has a .pda ect its an odin file

is there any possible way to download firmware for the honor 7x BND-L24 since i bricked mine and all i could find is all the other models just not the one i need.

Not as of yet. I am hoping there will be something soon myself.

we just need someone who still haven't done anything to their phone, and kept a clean backup of everything. Or someone need to reset their phone in order to make the back up. We can download it and use it for our self like new 7x L-24

ya i just checked today. you can do it either way. I am thinking about buying another one to check out my theory.

Anyone tried installing other variations (such as the Indian Roms) to see if it works?

I got ahold of support for Huawei US and they told me mid-March was when they plan to release the stock firmware for the Honor 7x. Hopefully will be released within the next week, 2 at most. Mine isn't bricked, but I am using a really botched custom ROM(no bluetooth, camera, fingerprint reader and Google services do not work, so I have to sideload all my apps, the battery is also crap on the custom rom and the phone heats up a lot faster) I can't wait until they release it, it was my fault that I didn't make a nandroid backup, though, tbf. Won't be too much longer, though <3

Be careful because I was using that same custom Oreo rom and now my Honor 7x is pretty much completely bricked... The rom started crashing and bootlooping on startup and TWRP stopped working too. It just flickers with a dead Android icon when I try to do Power + Volume Up. I can get into the eRecovery and fastboot but I'm not sure if I'll be able to fix it at this point. I just ended up ordering a new phone last night...

Yeah, I'm on currently using it because I was stupid and didn't make a backup and have no way to go back to stock until they release it. I've had to reinstall this ROM about 6 times already in the past 2 weeks just because of boot loops, freezing, and corruption. TWRP also broke on me, but was lucky enough to be able to flash it back with ADB and then reinstall AOSP. I'll definitely try it out again in the future, but I think I'll leave it to those who are more willing to risk it than me lol, at least, until it has a good bill of health for usage.

Yeah, I'm on currently using it because I was stupid and didn't make a backup and have no way to go back to stock until they release it. I've had to reinstall this ROM about 6 times already in the past 2 weeks just because of boot loops, freezing, and corruption. TWRP also broke on me, but was lucky enough to be able to flash it back with ADB and then reinstall AOSP.

Hmm, nice. I did reinstall TWRP with adb, but it still didn't work. Was there anything special you had to do?

Not sure if it would help, but i have a fresh Mate SE arriving tomorrow I could rip a clean dump off of. Which I planned on doing anyway before I did any setup of the device.

Nope, I did it the same way I did it when I first installed AOSP(Errr, relatively, anyway. I originally installed TWRP to install SuperSU Root, but when I disabled root, I somehow bricked my phone, which is why I resorted to AOSP lol, but I installed it by just wiping the encryption and data with TWRP and the installing via the AOSP Image and it worked fine... Sorta... Best AOSP does rn anyway lol)

I do have TWRP backup of system, boot, and data .img for the honor 7x BND-L24 USA. Twrp would came back with error 255 for the data file but looks like it still copied It, So I have

I have only created a couple of threads, but I recall it being very easy to do. You just want to make sure you post it in the correct section. I would think you could post this in the general section. News, discussion, etc.

Root

Hello XDA,i tried to root my galaxy S9(Exynos) and i think i f***ed up.
I used a site i fount and seemed ok and now after all i done my phone behaves slow,restarts itself,on short,i dont know exactly what i did wrong,but i know i did wrong,and i want to fix it.
i want a detailed answer,as for dummies,cause i never got into such an complicate root process.
Thanks.
EDIT:Using TWRP i formated data and now the phone looks like its back to normal(stock) if someone can help me root it i will be extremly happy

managed to make root work but a problem appeared:unable to use samsung account,unable to use any other type of lock screen type except swipe,andafter i instaled youtube vanced using magisk repozitory the phone entered again in the lock screen loop.i think its something about the kernel i used(elementalX 2.08) or the no verity version using 1.0.
I will look trough the forum for other versions and i will try to flash them.i will also try to flash a new rom,maybe thats the problem.

The ROM is probably the problem for you. Because now knox is tripped for you many samsung and other services dont work anymore for you on pure vanilla stock. If you like oneUI maybe try out a few roms, they are better than stock. There is also a growing AOSP ROM community, there is a group on telegram you should check out.

WOW!Thats bad.Have you tried the power+power down combo for shutting it down?a thing i can suggest better is to let it drain completly,and try to boot it in twrp,do a wipe and then try again.

none of the issues detailed in this thread make any sense. If a g965f is bootlooping after an attempt at rooting it, whatever was done in that attempt obviously failed and nothing in this thread really explains why, which mostly seems to be due to the lack of info from the OP and who all has participated thus far. We have no idea what baseband the OP is on, what version of TWRP they used, what version of Odin. We are lucky to know its a 965f so far...

a great deal of the devs that make the android community great all hang out here and share their contributions first on here, but you will find that certain phones on this site get far more attention than others, and the S9 area is a sad sad shell of what xda used to be. The reason im replying to your post at all is because xda is not the only place one can go to get good info on phones, but it is a reasonable place to put your trust if youre unfamiliar with the myriad of other sites specifically devoted to android and the users that avoid XDA for one reason or another. Try talking about any pay services on here or anything to do with "software of the illegitimate variety"
