How to SBF my P3S rooted phone with gingerbreak

[lotsofspareparts]

Rooted quite awhile ago, trying to SBF back to stock (froyo 2.2.2) and not having any luck. First 2 attempts resulted in my phone freezing after install, and 3rd (with different SBF file) has brought my phone back (2.3.3) to where it was before I started trying to SBF, all of my downloaded apps remain.

How do I return my rooted phone back to completely bone stock using RSDLite, which I have.

Please have patience with me, have tried searching but have not found a problem just like the one I am having.

Thanks

I would suggest replying in the threads, where you found the SBF files
instead of starting new thread, and hope someone with an answer, happens to see it

try deleting data before SBF, wipe data after
try ezSBF then SBF back to 2.2.2 with RSDlite
try different versions of RSDlite 4.9, 5.4.4, 5.6

don't know why anyone would go back to froyo

Got er done. I am not savvy on the phone tech speak and I should have said "factory reset" instead of SBFing.

My bad, doggone thing is working now.

no factory reset just deletes user data, doesn't remove custom rom
you have to SBF to get back to stock

I wiped, SBF'd, and wiped again.

Must have worked, phone is back to stock and I just downloaded an OTA update (2.3.4)


should have added that I sbfed last night but did not wipe again, wiped an hour ago and it worked.

 

[themib]

now what, thought you were trying to back to froyo 2.2.2

I thought I had too, to return my phone to out of box. Back when I rooted originally I DID have to go back to froyo to install a prerooted version of Gingerbread.

I know my way around PC OS, but didn't even know where to begin with my phone.

I decided I wanted to unroot so I could get my OTA updates, and am hoping for ICS sometime in the future.:biggrin:
