Root [Boost Mobile] Return to Stock for CWM (updated 4/11)

hroark are you able to properly sign your stock rom's? I'm trying to implement it into my bat file. Here's what Im doing. I'm taking your b08c rom and pushing it to the sd card. After that, I push a little file called command to /cache/recovery. The next time the phone boots into cwm it automatically installes the zip file. There's only 1 line in it "--update_package=/sdcard/stock_b08c_rom.zip"

However, when the phone reboot's it verify's the package. Unless I can find a way to disable verification thru that file, it failed to open the stock b08c rom because it didn't pass signature verification. I can't ask the user to disable this because it's supposed to be automated. :p

Basically what im saying is is that your rom's not signed properly and I don't have an environment for that atm.

edit: do you not have one for b08b? o.O

I am not sure how to sign them, I am creating this zips with the standard Ubunto Archive manager, not with anything Android related


I do not have a zip for b08b, I was not able to find that
 
ok that's fine. #cyanogenmod-dev says I'm not able to disable sig check so I'll try to sign them myself. I'll also see if I can't get a b08b image
 
im gonna try the one on Free Your Android - How to Sign APKs/ROM ZIPs where it says sign with private keys since it uses eclipse which sounds like its a bit more promising than the (failed) autosign.bat app lol

it looks like your method uses signapk too but ill try this one first

edit: the one I linked to was a fail ill try yours now
 
So, as many people have, I've foolishly rooted my zte warp (for boost mobile) without backing it up and applied a bad rom. Before the rom was installed it reset itself and took me to the boot screen where it entered a bootloop. For the last 8 hours I have tried everything, every recovery anyone (mainly woodstock) has recommended, to no avail. I've formatted everything, factory reset it multiple times, done everything I could think of. Still, nothing works. It's becoming late and I'm getting desperate - I apologize for repeating a common question - if anybody has had a similar problem I'd love some suggestions. I have accepted the fact that I will lose my data, but that is no longer important to me. Right now, I just want my basic phone functions back. Thank you in advanced.
 
Trying to unroot and restore to pure stock on my friends warp. Been using samsung phones so long im lost on the warp forum.

Nevermind this took care of it
 
After rooting and trying out a few of the new roms, I wanted to see if I could get back to stock. I used hroark13's ZW-RTS-FOR-CWM-19-0B08C.zip. I noticed at bootup, the alien kernel logo still shows up so I'm not exactly stock yet. Does this have to do with the caveat, "THIS DOES NOT FLASH BASEBAND OR BOOTLOADERS" or have I just done something wrong? Is is possible to correct?
 
I did wait, as you earlier suggested, for the message about B10 being downloaded and ready for update. It came an hour or so after I flashed RTS....B08c to return to stock. So I updated to B10, but nope, still got the alien kernel logo before the stock green android shows up. So B10 update didn't overwrite as expected. So if this means I am not on the stock kernel, guess my next question is whether anybody knows if we got a stock kernel flashable lying around anywhere. Funny thing, since the messages from hroark13's stock rom said "flashing kernel". I was thinking that meant he had the stock kernel in his zip. Puzzling.
 
I'm kind of in the same boat as cmpyutr. I've returned to stock and let the B10 update happen. But the kernel still appears to be left over from my fooling around with ROMS. In my case, it's the one that boots up with a gray screen that simply says ANDROID in the middle.

This would not be a problem except that I can't boot to recovery to root the thing. FTM comes onto the screen and stays there permanently. (Regular boot is just fine.) Since everything else is stock, I have to think the kernel's the culprit. Ideas? Is there any way to flash CWM or TWRP to an uprooted Warp without booting into recovery?
 
Hmmm. From further research, it seems that power plus volume down is supposed to give me FTM, and that it's supposed to just sit there on the screen. So how do I get into stock recovery?

By the way, I put the phone through ZTE's update tool, which seemed to run through just fine, but I'm back at the same place. Including the non-stock kernel.
 
Duh. Power + volume up gives stock recovery. And it appears that the ZTE update tool gave me the stock kernel back after all.
