[Q] How to restore original GB rom(to get warranty) when USB only charging works - Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone!
I need to get original GB rom to get on my p500, but my usb mass storage/debugging mode is dead, so my phone is not recognized by any computer using different cables. I have also used hardware reset and i am running out of options.
I know that KDZ updater is used for original software but is there another way to do it other than usb?
Is there any other solution?
Thanks in advance!

Can you enter recovery? If so i can get you a zip of, V20G or V20I they are stock ,but its already deodex ,apps2sd ,rooted, busybox and runparts dixda kitchen tweaks only but if you want one of those p.m. me i send you link.

Yes i can enter recovery. That would be a lot easier to get warranty. Thanks a lot i will send you a pm.
If anyone else could share a zip of stock V20x that is not rooted would be very much appriciated.

I don't know how it is in your country but in Romania by rooting a rom you already break standard warrenty.

That is the same in my country, but it is still better to have at least stock UI/rom.
Oh and i forgot i have old baseband radio. Do i need stock froyo now?

U can switch to stock froyo to convince LG to fix ur phone if it is Broken.

Mine got with ICS, but the mainboard was broken... they fixed it free
Sent from my LG-P500

In case of broken mainboards, from what i know, they can't tell if the phone had custom rom or that it was even rooted because your system partition is on that mainboard and it's not cost effective to try and salvage the system partition to prove you broke the warenty.
Stock froyo or gingerbread would not raise any suspicions at the service but then again, they can be installed only via kdz witch needs usb, the thing that is broken in your phone. From my knoledge.
Maybe after you flash the rooted froyo or gb you can unroot? Haven't tried that on flashable gb or froyo. If that would work i think you would be safe and the warenty would remain intact

i already send you link you can unroot rom after install it.

I have decided to try to flash stock froyo + stock recovery. Hopefully it will leave no trace of my custom rom and rooting activities
Searching this forum and google I have only found one flashable zip of stock froyo V10e, since almost all links are dead or threads are closed, but for my country it says V10d. Can anyone that still posesses these files, reuploads them somewhere? Since our phone is getting older, people with a problem like mine might still need them. Or this isn't really important?

Thank you, but sadly i forgot i still use old baseband radio(i went back from new because of a rom) and gingerbread probably won't work.

Hello, I´m trying to find a ROM to flash in my SGS 4G. Can anyone tell me if I can use the ROM's developed for the Galaxy S and flash it nice and clean in SGS 4G.
By the way, I'm using the stock Froyo and I live outside the US, since I've rooted and unlocked it I've not been able to use my local 2G/3G connection. Does anyone know any solution for that?
Thanks

Most practical way of Unroot is to install new firmware for your phone.
pls open your phone on download mod and install original stok firmware.

If you lost your IMEI on stock GB and do not have a backup - you have a problem. If you made a nandroid backup when your IMEI was good - you are good. If you flashed one of the newer GB custom ROM's that used the Aroma Installer - you might have a back up.

Can you provide a little more information? Did you do anything before your phone lost its IMEI number (e.g., upgrade from Froyo to GB using Kies Mini)? That will help the people here hopefully help you.

[Q] 2 Important questions before flashing

Before I start I would like to thank you in advance for dedicating your time to help me here (assuming that you did).I couldn't find the answers on the forums even though I searched.
1. Is there any way to backup my 2.2.1 froyo rom along with the kernel and baseband and EVERYTHING to make sure that if I take it back for repairs they can't accuse me of anything?
2. I have P500H and not the normal P500 mentioned in these forums, is there any risk of brick by flashing another rom designed for P500? And if it does work, will all of my cellular connectivity (RIL, calls, sms, 3G) keep working?

I don't like *any* of the Jenkins builds as they are pathetically slow for me even on fresh installations
According to me you should either try Oxygen ICS or Rashed97's CM10
Remember the above ROMs are of my personal preference
And if you are inclined to use Jenkins build *try* them

[Q] Changing baseband version of stock ROM

HI GUYs, it's me again.
Now we know we have Germany android 4.2.2 official
but the baseband version isn't our own country's
but i still wanna flash it to my phone without losing warranty
so..
is it possible if any developers change the baseband version of this stock ROM, without rooting or cwm and without further modification? like, only change the baseband version of the ROM and then make it look like my own country's ROM (the samsung guy only checks your root state and baseband version if i'm right) so if any awesome developer would make it possible, then it's beneficial to everyone who wanna flash the ROM, but don't wanna lose warranty)
so...
is it able to:
1) Change the baseband version without bricking or further modifying?
thanks
I think its possible but its hard stuff cause u have to change the radio.
And if u not 100% sure what u doing u will brick ur phone.

I don't know if it is a problem to flash a baseband from a 4.1.2 rom to 4.2.2??
But I think you lost your warrenty because it is a modification. Normaly there is no 4.2.2 rom for your country Samsung know your provider knows, so when you have a problem with the device an send it to repair, people know that there isnt't a 4.2.2 rom available but you have - maybe they don't accept the warrenty. So wait for 4.2.2 or have fun!
