Update, without flash back to stock? - Captivate General

Hi, i'm new to all of this flashing stuff. I'm running CM7 on my captivate and i was just wondering if GB for it came out for it, would i have to flash back to stock before i can update or can i just update out of CM7? While i was trying to flash this CM7 i had problems and had to keep on flashing back to the stock rom(2.1) and when i ever i tried to do a upgrade on kies the phone wouldn't sync because it would just keep crashing.

Don't double post!

How do I flash back to original shipped 2.1?

Thanks. I've searched but couldn't find a link. I flashed Froyo but want to flash Cognition but I guess I need to go back to 2.1. I can't seem to find out how to do that...

That will bring you back to stock 2.1. Doesn't allow AT&T OTA updates but good enough if you want to then flash up to COG.
Is there a way to restore back to original out of the box that will allow OTA updates? I have Cog and I want to go back to the original ROM but would like it to be fully functional.

you can use Odin to wipe your phone completely back to factory settings. I beleive it even removes root if you need to service your phone under warranty. I did that just recently and then flashed Cognition.

Use the previously mentioned ODIN to flash back to stock. Then download the mini kies program from samsung. Do an update using mini kies and that will bring you up to the most recent ROM stock ROM. I don't know if this will now support OTA updates since there have been no new OTA updates beyond what the Mini Kies will give you.
Got it. So Mini Kies I can download directly from Samsung correct?

It sounds like you did an RUU? ? ?
That should have gotten you back to stock. Basically you need to get a working RUU version, of the latest OTA and run that. Or get a rooted stock rom.

Any help would be appreciated

Yes i was trying to go back to the stock froyo because the only roms i can find for the lg p500-509 would be the cm7 and cm10. I have problems with both of them not working correctly so i'm trying to go back to the stock rom cause when i first rommed my phone i thought i set a restore but i did not
Use this to download the original LG software for your device, then use this to flash it.

Back-up

Hey,
If i restore a backup that i created from stock 4.04 ICS will that return me to "stock" and prevent verizon from finding out that I ever rooted or flashed CM10?
I am thinking about returning my phone.
Thanks!

Kind of, you would need to restore the backup, use ez recovery to install stock recovery, then unroot the phone.
This is all assuming you've never installed another radio. I personally would just Odin back to stock

Yes, agree, use Odin and flash a G1 stock firmware is your best bet.

So Odin back to stock would be my best bet. I did install a new radio but reception is horrible with these JB ROMs. My ICS ROM stock ROM had great reception. I can't seem to fix it.

I mean I like jelly bean cm10 but I can't justify the reception loss for new software. If anybody had a fix for this let me know.

I actually asked about the radios because those aren't replaced when you restore your nand so Verizon (if they looked) could tell it was customized. As far as radios and reception is really what works for your phone and area. For instance, I'm on Eclipse with the new radio and it's better then ever. Others on Eclipse have reported the new radio putting them into roaming.

Revert To Stock From JB

Hello friends, I have a neighbor who has a G2x and want to know if you can return back to official GB stock rom for this device and you need to do.
Use the search engine and found nothing about it.
regards
You already posted in the thread that specifically and explicitly says how to do this....just saying
Edit: make that three threads.
the ROM you're using has absolutely nothing to do with installing new ROMs. Recovery is not affected. So yes, all of those methods will work from JB
