Help with messed up phone

**TimV28** · 05-11-2012, 12:49 AM

Ok, so I installed the ICS leak and everything was fine and well. I forgot to take the image off of the sdcard and booted into the bootloader to start unlocking my phone. Well it started to run the update again, and me not wanting to have to set up my phone again stopped the update by pulling the battery without thinking before it could update the phone again. Now I am getting no service on my phone. What can I do to fix it?

Your prolly gonna need to run the ruu.exe to restore to the factory image. And fyi, the unlocking of the bootloader will wipe all data on the phone including the ad card. Just dl one of the ruu files, plug in the phone and run the exe.

do i need to be unlocked and have s-off to run this?

So I run the exe from above and it errors out saying incorrect bootloader version. Now what?

Did you put the battery cover back on the phone? If the battery cover is off you will not get any signal.

Ok, you need the proper RUU version. If you're trying to get back to GB after running an ICS leak, then yes you will need to be S-Off. When running the RUU's you can go forward, not backward without being S-Off.

Alternatively, you can unlock and install a ROM based on the leak version you're currently on.

Funny thing. I did not put cover back on as I did not know it made a difference. I moved my phone away from my computer to charge and it started working. So it is fixed.

One other question. Can I go s-off while on leaked ics. The directions say I must be stock.

I am happy to hear your phone is working, pulling the battery in the middle of your phone updating has the possibility of corrupting the firmware/software on your phone.

I am avoiding S-off(I don't need it at this time), but, there are lots of threads over on xda. good luck

As far as I know it doesn't matter because your phone will be wiped anyway.

Glad you got it working! All of the antennas for the Rezound are in the back cover, so that's why you lose signal when you remove the cover. Thankfully, putting the cover back on is a pretty easy fix.
