Having a play with my mz601 (uk3g) and want to go back to out of the box stock..
Then bring it back up to Tiamat 222 noting name/build.prop changes etc between stock, hammerhead, moray and so forth..
How can I wipe/format all of the data on the device and then push all the stock stuff back.
Got the retail rom from motodev site, just need to push the 4 img files via fastboot?
I am in a similar position and need some advice please....
I rooted my European (UK) WiFi Xoom the other day and flashed it with the Tiamat Hammerhead build. Alas it did not take and is continually in a bootloop and as such would like to simply return it to stock. I have downloaded the official image from Motodev but when installing from ClockWork Mod Recovery, it aborts the installation process.
Can someone please tell me where I am going wrong or provide me with the idiot's guide to returning the Xoom back to stock?
Many Thanks,
Alty

I basically grabbed the stock rom and pushed the img files to the device using fastboot, let the device update as far as it wanted too, I then rooted it, stuck CWM on it and then dropped 222 straight on.
I have kept a copy of all the files this time as well just incase :lol:

I can't figure out for the life of me how to flash my G2X back to stock using the stock firmware. Can you please help me figure out what to put into NVFlash to get the stock rom back onto this phone. Please don't tell me to search, I've been doing that all day. I have the LG Firmware file. I was stupid and put that pre-release gingerbread on it, but thats worse than what came with it.
To flash the phone back to its original recovery you do this
Restore LG G2x Stock Recovery
Flash Stock recovery only when you want to send your phone in to T-Mobile. Otherwise do not flash Stock recovery. Stay on ClockworkMod Recovery.
Remove the battery.
Goto NvFlash directory and Double Click "OneClickRecoveryFlasher.exe".
Make sure the USB cable is unplugged from your phone.
Hold Volume Up and Volume Down at the same time keeping them held down. (Keep them held until you see the "S/W Upgrade" screen on your phone after you complete step7!).
Plug in the USB cable to your phone.
Click the "Flash Stock" button.
You should see it send a bunch of files to the device and the phone screen should say "S/W Upgrade - Please wait while upgrading...". Once the files are sent and the program is finished running in the command window, you can just pull the USB cord while it still says "S/W Upgrade - Please wait while upgrading...".
Put the battery back and you are done.
Now if its the ROM that your having issues with then just flash another ROM to it man
PS
I think doing the 1st step gives you back everything to its oringal state. NOt sure though.
I already did flash the recovery I want to flash the original shipped rom to it and I can't figure it out, obviously it can be done, and well I feel like quite the disgrace since i used to work for google in mountain view lol
Oohhhh the ROM
Well lets see isn't this it?
The only thing though is that its rooted.
I'll keep tryna check for you though

First you'll want to use the Nandroid file (linked already in post #4) to return to stock rom. Then you'll want to use NVflash to get back to stock recovery. Then use SuperOneClick to unroot. That's the only way to get unrooted stock.

This is correct. I've done it a handful of times this way. And if you have a question, post in Q&A. This is the wrong place for this.
So I still for the life of me can't figure out how to flash the stock rom LG V10F rom on this thing.

Download the file in this thread. Extract the contents to your SD Card. Boot into Clockwork Recovery. Restore a backup. Select the folder where you extracted said file. Fix permissions. Reboot. Enjoy stock rom.
Doesn't work, it says MD5 Checksum mismatch. I want to flash the stock LG Flash File. The AP and CP bin files.
iv acidently flashed stock p999 rom via nvflash to a p990 phone need help please ,how can i flash back my old baseband?
Hi, new Android user here.
I was trying to root my Nexus S phone yesterday and I'm having problems. There is a lot of rooting guides out there and I used one from xda and also one from unlockr.com. Managed to root the phone ok (I think), but everytime I flash a custom ROM, the phone won't start at all, it just sits at the boot up screen and repeats itself.
So I'm thinking, I should just start over again. So I flash the stock ROM from xda back to 2.3.1. Everything seems ok, the phone starts up... but it's always stuck on airplane mode and the phone itself doesn't even show stuff like IMEI, mac address anymore.
So now I figure I've probably messed the phone up enough and need help lol. How do I go about reflashing the stock ROM and getting my Nexus back to out of the box condition (Stock ROM and no custom bootloader)?? Any guides or step by step instructions would be very helpful.
Thanks
Did you wipe before flashing roms?
Sent from my Nexus S c",)
Maybe flashing the KB2 modem would help that but the 9020a came stock with 2.3.3 and not 2.3.1 so that could be it...I'm not sure but that software wasn't meant at all for ours so it could be part of the problem. But if I was you I'd take a look at this thread wich has all the stock software for your phone. Make sure you wipe everything in clockework and then flash the stock rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13123996&postcount=39
dsixda uploaded the stock backup and the stock recovery, you can read more at that link, good luck hope it helps
You can download the full stock ROM from the link below:
http://goo.gl/8P8vl
Move the zip file to sdcard. Boot into recovery and flash the ROM. It should get you back to stock 2.3.4 ROM, all locked.

i'm guessing you have an i9020A. follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033269
wipe data and cache with cwm, flash the stock rom and stock recovery, and then update to 2.3.4
edit: you can also use a rom from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13478981
they're unofficial and unsigned though so I don't know if they would work for getting back to stock
Thanks hopon
I installed the stock rom, but when I tried to update he phone, it gives me an exclamation mark and the update won't complete. I have locked bootloader already.
Any help is appreciated!
EDIT Solved
For those interested, download the corresponding update here and flash the update. Clockwork will be gone and your phone is stock (remember to delete files on your SD!)

you could have flashed it through the stock recovery too. i'm really hoping that it was only 2.3.4 that has to be updated in that way. I want to be able to install OTA updates regularly lol
Several months ago I purchased a NS4G on Craigslist. I wanted to use it as an iPod touch without the data. It came rooted with SuperUser. The phone keeps prompting me to OTA to 2.3.7 (it's currently on 2.3.5) I used Gingerbreak to unroot and it worked, SuperUser is now gone. However, ClockWorkMod Recovery is still present and 2.3.7 won't install. The phone reboots, goes to about 1/3 of the progress bar, and then fails. I just want to get the phone on completely stock 2.3.7, in preparation for the coming 4.0 OTA.
Hopefully the solution doesn't involve flashing a custom ROM, I've never done that before. Thanks!!
No need to get it OTA, you can just flash the stock ICS ROM found in the stickies of the development forum of this phone. Of course follow instructions closely.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
But I'm selling it and need it to be completely 100% original and stock, which is what the buyer requested..
You want to use fastboot to flash a stock recovery. Peter Alfonso has them all listed on his site.
Thanks. I'm really not familiar with fastboot, and is there any way you could give me a link with instructions or the files I need? My build number is GRJ90.
And if there's anyway for me to avoid a rooted stock ROM, that'd be great. Just pure stock 2.3.7.
The stock image on Rom manager has the recovery bootloader included.
Flash a stock gb rom from cwm. You will find a list of them in either general or android development threads, not sure which. Completely stock, unrooted and as far as I remember the stock recovery is included. If not then the person will never know anyway as if someone doesn't want any non stock features then they won't know how to get to recovery anyway.
Actually I don't think they have stock recovery. Just flash the stock rom and then fastboot flash the stock recovery like was mentioned above. All you need to type is:
Fastboot flash recovery xxxxx.img
Xxxxx.img is the name of the image file you download.
Don't cheat the buyer...Tell him exactly what he's buying...And that you returned thedevice back to stock again.It's just not worth it.
I tried flashing an ICS ROM on this I9020 via CWM and the phone would just keep tying to boot over and over...
I tried flashing a GB ROM (GRH78) through ODIN and now I'm unable to get into recovery.
My goal is get this thing back to stock rom with no root so it can receive OTA updates. Any odin files I can use to get me going? I haven't had any luck finding anything useful. Just fastboot references which I'm unfamiliar with.
Thanks to anyone that can help
Correct me if i am wrong, but there aren't any official odin tar files for Nexus devices since they get updates from Google.
I think you have to flash the stock rom using fastboot method, here are the stock roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
Thanks for the response...I was finally able to use fastboot to get CWM installed (Phew). Now I want to restore this phone to factory (stock) settings so it can get OTA updates. How do I do that? I've been searching but all I see is GB ASOP.
Solved
Well I finally got it working. The issue I was experiencing was that I needed to root the device to be able to flash a stock ROM. Once I was able to root the i9020a, I was able to get it back to stock. I even had a Nexus 4G rom on the phone at one point. I had a hard time, but once I read about 37 different posts I was able to piece it together. So if anyone is having trouble getting back to stock, I'd recommend rooting the phone and using CWM to flash a stock ROM. Hope that helps anyone else that may have been struggling the way I was.
