Unroot/Stock 1.5/1.6 ROM

I've got an HTC Magic (on the UK network Vodafone) and I currently have Amon Ra's recovery and the latest Cyanogen. However, I think there's something wrong with my phone as I can't receive calls (had the same problem on Dwang so it must be the hardware)
So I want to unroot it and load the stock Google 1.5 or 1.6 ROM onto it. I used 'flashrec' to flash the recovery image so I assume I can also use that to flash the backup image it made. However, I don't have the stock/Google 1.5 or 1.6 ROM. Where can I acquire this from?
Will doing these steps get me back to stock? (So I can return the phone, or see if the problem persists)

Or, does anyone have a nandroid backup of their UK Vodafone HTC Magic?

Had no luck PMing others who said they have it. Anyone at all?

Bought on craigslist : Do I've official AT&T 2.2 on it?

Bought captivate from craigslist, from a guy who works for HP and said he got official AT&T 2.2 ROM on it from a buddy of his.
Attached screenshot (taken from another captivate) - Is it official AT&T or a mod?

JI6 is the unofficial 2.2 leak that all of our other 2.2 roms are based off of. The official 2.2 rom hasn't been released yet.

Can I upgrade to official ROM when it releases?
Or do I have to do something to force it? I don't want to be struck with this version if it's unofficial

ODIN usually gets you back to stock as long as you have the 3 button combo

The official firmwares are utter garbage.
Sent from my Captivate.

There is currently no office release of 2.2 (Froyo) for samsung captivate!
There however are a ton of unofficial copies of the unofficial leak.

All unofficial copies still use a beta version as their source, but if it works ok for you then I would not roll back to 2.1.
Personally, I stayed on 2.1 due to the 2.2 bugs that bothered me.

That's a leak we've been using for a while. You can go back to the current stock ROM with the tools in this thread.

Can you point me what bugs I can expect?

This phone is for my wife and I want to go back to 2.1 now, instead of wiping the data later

There's a whole thread about 2.2 bugs in the General forum.
There isn't really any way to just 'downgrade' back to 2.1 without losing your data. Your best bet is to install Titanium Backup, Rom Manager and the 2e recovery.
The 2e recovery will allow you to use Rom Manager to boot to the clockwork recovery where you can do a Nandroid backup of your rom, in case anything breaks while you are flashing 2.1.
Titanium Backup will backup all your apps and whatnot. You would use the ODIN one click 2.1 installer to go back to the stock factory 2.1 install, which will also wipe your phone clean. Then you would install Titanium Backup again from the market, and restore all your apps that you backed up before you flashed back to 2.1.

I knew craigslist had the "official" Froyo update!
Swyping...please read slowly!

I don't mind losing data, what is the quick way to go back to 2.1?

Calls drop frequently , so the phone is unusable.

Read what you quoted - Odin One click will get you back to 2.1. Read the captivate bible thread in the dev section.

G2X and July Baseband

I have a G2x and my Baseband is Mar27 2011 I have read on here that the July15 2011 baseband might clear up issues and make the phone work better is this true?
I am also rooted on a 3.3.4 ROM if I updated the baseband can I reroot my G2X?

As far as I know, nobody has uploaded the july baseband. I think the only way to update it would be through the lg tool or ota.
I don't know about one-click rooting, but if you get the baseband through the official update, you can always just flash prerooted gingerbread.

Sorry I wasn't very clear I was talking about going back to stock and then using the lg tool and update to stock 2.3.3 that has the July Baseband. I want to make sure I can reroot back to other roms after I do this and if anyone has done this knows if the July Baseband is better than the March one?

1. 2.3.3
2. Yes, you can reFLASH other roms after updating to the new baseband, and root them.
3. For some, the new baseband has fixed gps issues. Others seem to be having issues with the data signal.

yeah buddy!
i just reverted to stock using the later NAND backup, V21E.zip , then the LG upgrade tool recognized and flashed without errors, tho before I restored to stock it was giving me some errors in very poor english.
Revert to stock -> LG Update -> NVFlash CWM -> CM Nightly = GPS works! FINALLY! I haven't been able to use my GPS on pretty much any rom til this point.
I definitely vote for the go ahead, the new baseband makes a difference for sure!

Fixed thanks and great info so far kiddecks have you noticed any issues with your data signal? the gps is not a feature I will be using a lot my main focus is on reception and data.

Don't forget to remove CWM as part of reverting to stock. You don't want to give the lg tool any chance to brick your phone like its doing for some people.

Thanks for that I will make sure to remember did you update your Baseband heysharon?

Not yet, the ota is either being dodgy or slow to come by, and I can't get the lg tool to install on my computer. Until the ota arrives for my phone, I'm hoping for the off chance that someone will upload the new baseband.

ok thanks for all your help from the sounds of it you also want to try out the new Baseband

Was wondering if anyone was still working on making
a zip file of the July baseband? I'm sure it would be much
Appreciated by many here. Thanks

Do mean clockworkmod recovery? If you want to flash back to stock recovery you can use the one click nvflash tool from the development section. When you're at the step where you choose which version of recovery to flash just choose stock.

[Q] HELP! Questions!

Ok, so I just purchased a rooted G2x off of ebay. I'm coming from a moto cliq (yes, make fun of me) So i'm a bit over my head when it comes to custom ROMs and such. I'm on 2.2.2, and need to know what I should do.....
I've been having some data connection issues even if i'm on Wifi, the connection will just drop and won't come back for about 15 seconds. It's getting pretty bad, and i'm exasperated atm.
Do I upgrade to the LG 2.3.3? I don't want to lose my camera's features.
Do I install CM7? will that fix any of the touch screen issues and connection drops?
In your opinion, what would you do if you were in my shoes?
I'm open for all suggestions.

I would go for the update because it updates the baseband which deals with radio signals and may help with your connectivity issues, i would TRY CM7 for a bit and see how it goes. You can backup in Clockword Mod Receovery and when you restore to that backup you will have exactly what you backed up from. So backup on 2.3.3 --> install CM7 --> try it out for a few days ---> restore if you dont like/keep if you do.
heres a link to the LG froyo camera working for stock 2.3.3

Thanks for the reply. I'm still a bit confused though, when you say install 2.3.3 and backup(is that the stock 2.3.3 from LG>). Does that mean i'll lose my root? and I was under the impression that CM7 was GB, just a custom build with root permissions.
Lastly, how would I install the LG froyo camera?
Thanks for the help

Doing the official update may help because it upgrades your baseband.
You'll lose root until you restore you CM7 backup.
CM7 is GB but there is no way to update the baseband currently (that I know of) without doing the update.
You can't currently on CM7.

Again thanks for the quick reply. If i used CWM via NvFlash to backup my current image(2.2.2 rooted) and then updated to 2.3.3 via LG GB. Would I be able to go back to my 2.2.2 rooted if I didn't like 2.3.3?
Thanks to both

You would be able to. But I was suggesting that you update to 2.3.3 (official) and then install Clockword mod recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847&highlight=clockworkmod) Then backup from there (2.3.3) and flash CM7 (based off of 2.3.5) and if you dont like THAT then restore to stock 2.3.3.
Another option would be to update --> install clockwork mod---> flash this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179748) Which is a rooted GB. This would leave you with a stock 2.3.3 ROOTED, if you like the stock.
Overall I'd definitely go for CM7 though. More features just great overall. Also if you're looking to overclock then it IS possible with the stock GB thanks to Faux (http://twitter.com/#!/faux123) flash the latest G2x kernel on his twitter. Then you can overclock.
Bottom line I would just backup your current 2.2.2, install 2.3.3 through the LG updater (be careful following instructions in doing so) and just flash different ROMs and see which ones cure your issues best and which suits you best.

Yes. After the official update you will have to flash clockworkmod recovery again, but then you can flash any rom you want.
