when i got the phone i upgraded to 2.3 and now my phone is messing up and i dont feel like sending ym phone to tmobile so is the anyway to re-do this update, or downgrade back to froyo (2.2) ??
You want stock froyo? You'd need to install clockworkmod recovery and restore the stock 2.2 nandroid backup from the development section. If you want, after that you can either keep clockworkmod recovery or flash back to stock recovery.
If you installed CWM recovery you can apply a backed up image of the OTA update then use NVFlash to restore the stock recovery. T-Mobile is shipping the phones as GB now and it is now considered stock. Don't worry about going back to Froyo.
Yea but the only reason y I want to go back to 2.2 is because I can't root on 2.3 for some reason

depends what you restore back to.
2.3.3 is the latest
Can't you just copy that 2.3.3 stock ROM zip file to SNS root and run through recovery?
Why would you go to 2.3.3 by choice? I'm dreading the day that it says i have an update.

UPDATED: 7/8/11
Okay..so to close my question. I just followed this and everything went back to stock.
theunlockr.com/2011/01/20/how-to-unroot-the-nexus-s
1. followed the link above.
2. I remain rooted but recovery went back to stock. no more clockwork.
3. after booting, was alerted of a 2.3.4 update..so I updated again.
4. marketplace has been upgraded to the new interface (probably bec of the update)
5. to install screenshot app and fontchanger..I needed to have super user, so I just installed Clockwork (recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-) again and installed SU (su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip) via SD card install.
6. so far, everything's good.
If you have some questions, feel free to ask.
Download a stock rom ( unless you made a nandroid backup)
Turn off you phone then start it while holding vol+
Do a factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache( found under advanved)
Flash your stock rom

Where can I get a stock rom? Is the one from the link I posted good enough?

Is there a way to return to stock while keeping CWM ?
You can stay on stock rom while you are rooted. You can google it. I got my 2.3.4 from ardoid.com
Its a stock rom with added arabic support. Since you dont need arabic. It wont make any difference to you.

I'm not asking for keeping root, only to revert back to stock while keeping CWM
Clockworkmod will stay on your phone. As far as i know, all your phone recoveries will be done through cwm

I read somewhere that flashing a stock ROM will restore the stock boot/recovery. Is it true ?
That i cant answer u. But i can say that i went back and forth between roms. Reverting to stock when needed. CWM stayed on my phone.

Ok, will have try. Thanks
dude if install stock rom via odin then u will loss cwm bt iheard u cn gt .zip files of stock roms using tht u wont loss cwn
Thats what im trying to say. The only way (i think) to lose cwm is using odin. But you can find zip stock roms. Thats what i did

Guys flashing roms is a big responsibility. Read the guides. The latest version is Kh2. This is a 2.3.4 Rom. If you want old 2.2, which is easier to flash, then you should use kd1.

Hi I flashed "[ROM-Leak][ODIN] Gingerbread 2.3.4 T959VUVKG4" rom to my phone and when I went to the local t-mobile store they told me that my headphone jack isnt working and needs to be sent in for warranty replacement.... what do I need to do to set this up to stock and the current rom so tmobile doesnt void my warranty.... or to flash using ODIN?
follow the noobs guide to odin in the bible
I know how to use ODIN..... the question is do I need to do anything to the phone to downgrade it to 2.2.1 Stock.... or just flash it and done?
Just flash a 2.2.1 stock rom on your phone, and you are done. if it already has root, you can un-root with superoneclick

o ok ya I got that one without root do I have disable lagfix and so on?
Also since I partitioned my SD card can I leave it alone and when i get my new phone just flash it and itll work ok?
Ok just got this phone and have decided to go with Phoenix Blood rom, but how do i start? I have to be on froyo to root? Im coming from samsung epic on sprint that i flashed so im not completely retarded. Thanks for any help
Use superoneclick to root on froyo.
If your on 2.3.3 gb there's a flashable. Zip in development section to root.
Also you will want to use tgagunnmans nvflash method to install clockworkmod recovery in dev section.
Phoenix blood is a great choice btw, enjoy!

You're still on Froyo? To my understanding it's a good idea to flash the OTA GB first so that you'll get the up to date baseband. Once that's done just go ahead and flash PB.
no im on gb jsut thought i had to go back to froyo to root, so i just flash clockwork mod then pb and thats it?

Yes, but make sure you're using NVFlash to get CWM. Don't use Rom Manager.
Easiest way is using the tool unlockroot. It supports gb on the G2X. Or you can use nvflash, whichever you prefer.

If he wants to change Roms he will still need Nvflash regardless how he gets it rooted.

From that thread:
Flashing the custom recovery using NvFlash is the only way to ensure that in the case your phone will not boot up, you will be able to get into recovery to fix the issue / flash a ROM / restore from nandroid backup. That is what this app will do for you.
If you flashed the ClockworkMod recovery from ROM Manager it does not flash the recovery to your phone, it fake flashed it. The only way you can gain access to ClockworkMod recovery is through ROM Manager at that point. Using this method is the only way to flash recovery so it is persistent and accessible booting to recovery.
If you have already flashed through ROM Manager you can still proceed with this method. Flash Away!
(You can use both ROM Manager CWM and have the nvflashed version working together. You just access either or one at a time, having the nvflashed one means you can boot to CWM. Welcome to Tegra2)

Follow the link. This is a must for tegra 2 based phones. It is always better to be safe than sorry and it also allows you to do a ton of other things, such as making backups and flashing roms. Let us know if you need help. The phone is pretty much unbrickable after you do this. It gives you the ability to recover from any major mistake.
Its in the dev thread, it low level flashes clockworkmod recovery to our phones internal memory partition. You need to install apx drivers first in order for the g2x to be nvflashed.

thanks for the help guys got it all set up
Just to add in, nvflash allows u to boot into cwm recovery whenever u want and u don't need to be next to a computer. I think that is how it worked for Samsung phones and Odin, where u needed a computer, but haven't used a Samsung phone so I could be wrong. Remember always make a back up of everything and play around with the different roms, not every rom works for everyone
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Actually Odin is just like nvflash. It is used to put cwm on you phone and to put the stock recovery back on.
Once you have cwm you can flash what ever rom or kernel without the need for root. Just back up your stock unrooted stock rom before flashing anything else.
If you do that you will have your own stock backup with no need of finding it in the forums if you need to go back to stock.

I've heard that works in theory, but not often in practice. I would suggest checking out Vincom's stickies atop the Skyrocket Dev forum. This one has a link to a CWM flashable stock ICS rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785999
That is your safest route to stock ICS and it will save to so much hassle not having to deal with KIES. But if your determined, the second sticky has all the instructions you need to return to stock and update to ICS through KIES.

1. If u go back to stock yes u will lose root and cwm.
2. Ur cwm backup will still be on ur sd card.
3. Why update to official ics? It has alot of bloat that slows ur phone down.
4. After goin back to stock u can reroot and flash cwm recovery via odin then flash cm9 again then restore ur backup.
