Guest SparkTheDark Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) Hi All, Recently installed SlimBean ROM (build v8.0) which installed without issue, but i never realised Huawei's AllBackup app is only compatible with stock ROM's so wanted to revert back to Stock+ R06 (mainly so can restore some of the data, take a backup using GoBackup/Titanium Backup and install SlimBean again). Issue is, the phone now hangs at the Stock+ boot animation during the initial startup after installing and it doesn't progress any further, even after leaving the phone an hour or so. However, SlimBean will happily install again after doing a 'Wipe data/factory reset' within CWM (using v6.0.4.0). Unfortunately i haven't got a nandroid backup from the previous Stock+ install (my fault but didn't think i'd have issue going between ICS and JB), only a nandroid backup from the original Vodafone Gingerbread install that came with the phone. Has anyone got any pointers that'll allow me to get back to Stock+ (or another stock ICS ROM)? Cheers for any help :) Edit - Just to add, i've tried following the 'How to unbrick the G300' guide to no avail but CWM did throw a 'missing root' error during a reboot of recovery; is this because the phone has unrooted itself at some point? And would this stop Stock+ installing? Edited October 25, 2013 by SparkTheDark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dalyer Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 I generally do ALL wipes and formats in CWM when switching ROMs - not just wipe data/factory reset. Did you do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you do that? Yup, it's my usual method as well and i've never had issue doing this in the past with ICS ROM's but it doesn't want to know this time around :( Edit - I usually do all the 'wipes' prior to installing the ROM from the sdcard, and it's worked in the past but is that correct way of doing? Or should i be doing it after installing the ROM from sdcard, as stated in the 'I want to install the official Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) update' guide?

Guest dalyer Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) Actually I normally do all wipes and formats in CWM, then install the ROM and then do a wipe data/factory reset in CWM. Some of that may be redundant but it has always worked so far. Wouldn't doing all formats after installation remove some or all of the ROM that you just installed?! e.g. format /system!?! If it comes to it you could always try a forced update to stock B952 and then start from scratch to get back to Stock+? http://www.modaco.com/topic/362821-tutorial-how-to-officially-unlock-the-bootloader-with-definitions-relock-guide-included/ Edited October 25, 2013 by dalyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SparkTheDark Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) Right, thought i'd try a different ROM and had 'Infusion-B944-G300-B06-FINAL' to hand - installed without any problems :blink: I'm well and truly confused to why Stock+ wouldn't install, perhaps it'll install now Infusion has gone on there. Much appreciated for the help though :) Edit - Nope, still doesn't like Stock+ R06 B960. Now trying an older version, 'StockPlus-B7-111112' (B944 i believe, same as Infusion).....

Guest SparkTheDark Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 So it appears my phone now doesn't like Stock+ ROM's. I've installed ICS Infusion B944 and ICS Tesla ROM B960 without issue, so i'm completely stumped. I'm wondering if installing an official B952 stock ROM will sort it? Has anyone got a link to it as the one on this guide 404's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest smweb Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Which recovery do you use? Once I installed TWRP I never faced any issue with flashing or going to-and-from from any ROM. In case you are on CWM, try TWRP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SparkTheDark Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Use CWM v6.0.4.0; i did update it before i installed SlimBean and before that, i was using v5.* and Stock+ worked without issue so perhaps that has something to do with it (although i can't see anyone having problems with Stock+ and CWM 6). Either way, i managed to get back to ICS, backup my data and i've stuck SlimBeam back on the device for time being (there's a few bugs and annoyances unfortunately). But i've finally got my bootload unlock code, so when time allows i'll run through the guide by dalyer and see if i can get back to Stock+. Similarly i might try out TWRP if i still have issues. Much appreciated for the help though guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dalyer Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 so when time allows i'll run through the guide by dalyer and see if i can get back to Stock+. I don't think that I posted such a guide? Unless you mean some of my posts about getting from, say, ICS to stock GB B895 based AtomicMod/Slim/SuperSlim? I'm probably boring people now but I find SuperSlim great. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much appreciated for the help though guys! I would also recommend using the latest TWRP, as it is so much better, and easier to use! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
