FIX: Soft Bricked after reverting from Jelly Bean update

[andrexx]

After following these steps is it possible to use Utility 1.82 to restore Root to .211 ICS 4.0.4 and also establish a normal working boot?

After studying this matter in depth for my case, the answer to your question is a big, fat, "NO." CamoMike's "fix" retains/repairs the JB system. Attempting to revert back to .211 after performing the JB update is what (usually) causes a brick in the first place.

A BIG "THANK YOU" TO YOU, CAMOMIKE!!!

I was soft-bricked after (stupidly/accidentally) restoring old system data with TiBU after the JB upgrade. Your post allowed me to regain control, get the phone to boot, and now I'm back up and running. I could not have done it without your post.

THANK YOU.

I am glad I was able to help someone. This makes me very happy.

Lol Camo, I stalked you all the way from d4v's thread and I ****** LOVE YOU. I think you're the only person on the internet to have managed to unbrick my phone haha.

I created this account just to kiss your shoes man.

Thanks brah, but, I do things in life to help people. I appreciate the love and am glad I could have helped. Trust me, my shoes aren't meant to be kissed...

I also didn't do it myself. I did a lot of reading and used my 20 years of IT experience into forming a solution to my problem and shared it with the world. Everyone, from the developers, moderators, site admins should get the thanks as well. A little bit goes a long way.

I like the DF community and how it helps, not hinders people. We all do it out of the love of technology and to make it work better for us, not control us.

Thought I'd issue an update:

After playing around a bit, I discovered that my sounds were still missing, and all phone activity was only through the speaker. (Even when on Bluetooth, the speakerphone was active in tandem?). I installed RAGE ROM by spc_hicks via Safestrap, and all functions are back to (better than) normal.

<sub>This worked absolutely FLAWLESSLY. Thanks so much.

Side tip -- if you clear data/cache immediately following the JB update install, you won't have issues with the first full boot of Jelly Bean.

Again.. thanks!</sub>

Thought it could work but never fully tested. I edited the OP.

Sorry about the specifics... if they seem dumb... but I followed this through a couple times and was unsuccessful still. I am in the same situation that you seem to have been in.

1. At what point do you plug in you phone to the computer to run Matt's Utility 1.82? There is no way to run it on the actual phone right?

2. Whenever I reboot at any point i jump straight into the AP Fastboot menu. Is there away of avoiding this?

3. How far do you get into running the Utility? It wont even start for me.. This is what I get:



4. Again Step 6, when I power off... when i power back on it goes straight to AP Fastboot. Thoughts?

If anything sticks out to you guys that I am blatantly doing wrong please let me know!
Thanks!
