the file to turn s-on is supposed to be re-named that? i thought that was the 2nd part
Quick question(s):
Can I follow the first post, un-root, get the OTA update, then re-root?
The 3rd post confuses me:
"For anyone else who wishes to know, if you want to root again later you can leave your device s-off. This method is for completely back to stock.
To leave it s-off just flash the PB31IMG."
Would I have just flashed PB31IMG? After following these steps, I will be S-ON.
To clarify.
I want to get the most current update, and have a STOCK ROM. I have tried everything else, but still get the update nag every few days.
So I am guessing, I can unroot, get OTA, then re-root?
Try renaming the zip to PB31IMG not PNCDoug, I got my s-on my rooted DINC just as you said - you're the man!
Now, I hate to say that your unroot system doesn't work, as I haven't seen anyone else report that. But I did check the HBOOT dialogue for s-on, and I also made sure that the file PB31INC.zip was installed in the root of my SD card, and that the name is precise (all caps). The screen is AMOL...(not the new one), and I checked that the radio version is RADIO-2.15.00.07.28. What happens is that, despite all of the above, HBOOT runs a check on PB31INC.zip, and then I get the same message as I got before I caught on to the need for s-on: "Main Version is older! Upgrade Fail".
I need to return this DINC to Verizon, as it has been replaced because of chronic screen problems, so please help me with this if you can!
Thank you for your efforts this far!
Oh, by the way, I already deactivated the damned thing - hope that wasn't too bad a mistake!
Oops, that was a typo on my post. But I checked just now, and the name of that file in my SD root is PB31IMG.zip (wouldn't the error have been a different one anyway). I believe I did follow your directions, but the problem of a phone which I need to unroot has not gone away. Are you sure there couldn't be something else which may be missing, or new weird Verizon tactics to get around (it's not a new phone, but if it talks to the present network during this process...)? I hate to lean on you like this, but I recently got laid off from my job after almost two decades, so I really can't afford to pay the Verizon warrantee police.Try renaming the zip to PB31IMG not PNCDoug, I got my s-on my rooted DINC just as you said - you're the man!
