[Q] Help, Need RUU

Mr Hofs · Feb 17, 2013

As i can see from your main version number you already have the JB hboot. Just restore the nandroid and no need to flash the firmware

flashed the boot image, wiped cache and dalvik then install from zip

error, can't open 3.14.708.28.zip
(bad)
installation aborted

tried one of the backups on phone again and worked? strange, thanks alot

Mr Hofs · Feb 18, 2013

You need to unpack the nandroid backup and place it in the right folder on the sdcard of the phone. A nandroid backup is never a .zip file.

You unzip the file, and then put the folder into clockworkmod>backups. Then restore it

oh i see i'll give that a try, i just tried to flash it like normal by putting the zip on my sd card not the cwm folder. i'll try that now. fingers crossed.

did just that and got an md5 mismatch?

there's a boot image and then an hboot image, do i flash both images? im so lost

Mr Hofs · Feb 18, 2013

No just flash the boot.img, and the MD5 mismatch van be overruled by a trick that is explained in the OP from the thread where you got the nandroid from !

ill try again but ive flashed the boot.img twice now

Mr Hofs · Feb 18, 2013

No need to flash the boot.img over and over. Just once is enough.....check for the MD5 mismatch workaround

Oke....did you flash the boot.img again from the last nandroid you restored and are you sure you did a full wipe before the nandroid . You have to wipe everything in the recovery before restoring it. Wipe all caches, partition cache, dalvik cache, wipe the data, system.....

And please dont be sorry, we all have been noobs at one point

i always wipe all three so yeah on those and i did flash the boot.img from the nandroid backup thats when i get the md5 mismatch. now the phone is on with a backup but not working. i can't flash a boot image for the backup im working on now cause i don't have one, phone was rooted when i bought it. i have 3 backups plus the nandroid backup on my phone and only this one that had the phone actually on seems to be working.

thanks for the patience

Mr Hofs · Feb 18, 2013

I mean, the backup that actually works (but without data and signal) must also contain a backup boot.img file in its own nandroid backup folder. Did you flash that one ?
