Downgrade to 902 - No app or data loss

[shawner47]

@aceman1ac - I would say that if you are very new to rooting and flashing you definitely want to use SamuriHL's script. I am almost positive that it will fix your previous root issues and get you where you need/want to be. Follow the instructions to the letter and you will be golden.


EDIT: Just saw your post ^^^. You may be looking at a full FXZ if the script didn't work for you unfortunately. I really did think that it fixed the forever root files though...

Haha I had the problem when I ran the script =(

And you paid attention to the screen while it was running? Cause we flash the system image for 902 which would have overwritten that file. The whole point of the script it to take you back to stock. If it's still got a messed up mount_ext3.sh file in there, then I would expect flash errors to have happened.

Yup everything said it was okay while flashing back to 902.

I hope you actually LOOKED rather than trusting the "hey we succeeded" message that I spit out cause that message is completely meaningless. I'm telling you that if that file is still messed up, it did not flash properly. I don't care what it said.

(Please don't misunderstand my tone. I'm not trying to be rude. I'm trying to explain that if the script had run successfully the only thing not touched by it is the data partition.....meaning all the customizations you've done to system/bin would be eradicated and back to stock. Something definitely did not work right with that flash)

I'll run the script later on today and make sure that it did not mess up, but I do remember watching back and forth on the script down the list when it was writing the files it said okay and nothing said failed before pressing a key to continue.

Yea, running the script should definitely return everything to stock so something is very wrong there.

I was thinking about it, should I full FXZ back to 902 then run the script? If not, then i'll be sure to post a screenshot of what the script said after flashing back to 902 before rebooting my phone. (Note: I live on the west coast and I have class tonight, so I may not be able to run the script until 10:30pm tonight)

Thank you for for your help in all this btw.

See, this is the point I was trying really hard to make. The script IS a full FXZ back to 902 MINUS erasing the data (and we skip flashing the radio as that's not necessary and would have no bearing on this whatsoever). So you can try FXZ'ing back but you'll lose your data. The script will apply the images and not lose data. So something didn't go right with the script. Maybe you'll need to FXZ fully I don't know. But that will lose your data if you do.

Wasn't there an FZX .xml file floating around that didn't wipe data?

I thought I saw that in an earlier House of Bionic zip.
