Installed cyanogen 4.1.9999 how do i go back to original android donut on my g1

i installed cyanogen but I want original android back. can some one give me a detailed step by step on how to do it? Please help
thank you and I'm sorry, I just broke down and posted. is there any way to delete the thread?

try the "unroot. get back to original firmware" thread..

I know i have been guilty of posting questions without searching sometimes but a question like this is not only in stickies but also common sense, just flash the official donut build the same way you flashed cyanogen minus the whole double flash crap you gota do now with cyanogen builds because of google but thats besides the point. You may have to do a wipe too but i'm not sure.

another n00b thats being stupid and posting Q&A in the dev forum

You asked for these replies by putting your first post in the developers forum. Nice job noob.

WAIT WHAT?? you want original donut? cyanogen is original, but amili times better then stock. i dont know why new flashers want to go back to stock. is it because they dont have my fave?

If you really want to go back to stock I hear winmo has a phone for u....lol

Calm down.........

need dev help badly

I posted in another forum but I hoped maybe a dev could figure it out
I screwed up big time. I got my nexus s 4g and unlocked and rooted. all was going well and I went the custom rom route and used rom manager to do so. It was g found out after my radio didnt work. I tried to flash back to stock and it did. I found out it was gsm stock and I am a f#cking moron, so I'm stuck on stock, unrooted, no radio and no computer can it now, not the samsung prog, odin, or adb. the usb on pc will charge, but not push data, please can anyone help.
update: I have an epic, could I download the singed rstock rom, rename it update.zip, bluetooth it to the nexus and apply with stock recovery?

Have you tried reinstalling Samsung device drivers? Are you navigating to sdk/tools when you try adb?

This is not a development related topic. Things like this belong in q&a.

i have installed the drivers, and i have it set to cmd from anywhere. The computer cant see it at all

You flashed another phones radio, then propose to flash yet another phones rom to fix it... Dude.. Stop flashing and go read. A lot..

I have read, right now I am trying to get to stock on my nexus s 4g. I have no way to get files on it, since the usb will no longer transfer data. Thats the problem, I know I scewed up, I want to fix it is the thing

Post this in q&a. Dev is for dev. Unless you are writing code you shouldnt be making new threads here.
You will get help, just address it in the right forum.

Does wifi work? If yes try downloading a rom for your device from your phone directly and flash it within clockwork apk.

when i flashed the bad stock file it when back to stock recovery

the reason I asked in dev I was wondering it there A, another way to get the usb to work? it wont display even in device manager. or B isthere a way to falsh the correct radio as a signed update.zip?

It needs to be in q&a. Nothing about this thread relates to development. Quit posting, let this die, and ask in q&a. You will get help. You need to read. You need to follow the forum rules and general forum etiquette. If you cannot do that, please leave xda, and go to another forum.

i 100% agree with you that this thread should be closed. but come on now dude, no need to be harsh on the guy. his head is probably all over the place now that the phone is not working let's just understand him.
to OP:
here was a similar thread and a similar problem to yours. apparently the guy could enable USB through clockworkmod recovery and flash a rom for his device.
as i understand you have stock recovery. what you should do is try to install clockwork (through fastboot) and enable usb from there.
N.B after flashing clockwork recovery thrpugh fastboot, do not reboot your phone. just enter recovery directly through bootloader.

thanks for the help but mine cant be seen in fastboot, either. sorry for posting the wrong thread, I just thought a dev may have a flashable radio or a different usb trick

I was nice to begin with. But you also need to quit feeding him. He will keep posting in this thread and not make another one in q&a as long as you keep helping him. He keeps posting, you keep posting. I have no understanding for people not following the rules. They are there to keep xda clean and foster development. If people are going to ignore them, then they need to leave.

oh come on!! the guy needs help...definitely its a wrong thread in a wrong section..but just help him out...i would suggest him to try fastboot on another computer or so..install fresh drivers and a fresh sdk ..and then try out dude...and it would be much better if u really post your queries on to Q & A section....people will surely help

Jesus Christ give the dude a break. Hes just lookin for some help. Who cares if he made a thread in the wrong place, i dont see how that affects anyone especially the wannabe mods. OP hope u get ur phone workin again, id help u if i could

The only way i know of getting an update.zip/recovery/image over myself is fastboot, (ie: fastboot flash image, fasboot boot) ...without that working i am unsure how to fix your problem.
Regarding the flame wars over the wrong section posting, surely keepign this ontopic and free from gripes until a mod moves it is the best way? (over reacting wierdo's )

[Q] ROM Manager from Android Market on the G2X

Hi all.
I'm interesting in beginning to make some mods to my G2X.
I've seen some people posting that there is a very unique way to successfully get CWM (ROM MANAGER) on the phone.
I came from a Samsung Vibrant. On the Vibrant, I simply Downloaded ROM Manager from the market, and that worked like a charm.
I've downloaded ROM manager from the market on my G2x. There have been 2 or 3 updates to the app since I downloaded it.
With the version of ROM Manager that I have, am I okay to begin flashing zips, or will I mess my phone up?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Start by deleting this post. Then search. Then, if still confused, repost in the right section. This is just going to get flamed.

1st, welcome to the G2x.
2nd, this should have been posted in Q&A to keep the Dev Section clean.
3rd, though RM has a version of CWM for the G2x, it is best to flash recovery through NVFlash.
You can get all you need from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847

Wrong forum buddy, there is a G2x Q&A where someone will answer your question, this forum is only for development of the G2x, not for questions.

Flame on.
Wrong forum. Should be in questions.
To answer your question... yea that works but you should nvflash Clockworkmod first.
Nvflash will stick and enables power+down to get into recovery while booting.
Simply using rom manager WILL work but doesn't enable power+volume down on boot up. So if you use rom manager and something screws up and you bootloop... it'll be harder to fix.
Lesson: nvflash once... then use rom manager as normal. Best of both worlds.
G2x CM7.1 style - Android 2.3.4

Thanks everyone for your help.
Sorry about posting in the wrong spot... I'll make my way to Q&A.

Id like to be the first to say sorry for some rude people. Nvflash is how we get down in the g2x forums.
Its not hard either
this will get you going if you havent figured out yet.

you gotta read and search my friend. Questions go in Q&A btw. XDA isn't going to spoon feed you, the info to get back to stock is all over the place. if you got to a custom rom, I'm confident you can flash odin back to stock

Moved to Q&A. I'm almost sure this might be covered somewhere else but at least have it in the correct forum
Cheers

This is your actual question. By now you may know Xda organizes those answers in the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket Android Development forum section. Look for the pushpin icons at the top of the list of threads. they are your "stickies", like an FAQ.
Remember OTA updates, when offered, do not mix with custom recoveries like CWM. You will need to flash a stock recovery.

read, read more, read the stickies, i read alot b4 i even attempted to flash, at least a few hundred posts and using the search button.
all problems and solutions have been posted, as u r a n00b all u have todo is invest time into reading alot of posts, because of ur post we all know u havent even bothered to read the stickies, espicially read the one w/n00b's in the title, thats y they r there. .
once u know what ur r doing and r stumped at a certain problem, believe me we can tell by how u post a question, post in the q&a forum
this post is just a copy paste from another post i wrote to a n00b

[Q] CAN I STILL UNroot MY GALAXY S3 WITH A CUSTOM ROM INSTALLED?

Hello EVERYONE,
I rooted my device yesterday and decided to install custom ROM: CM10 (CynogenMod). Honestly I don't like it. I just want to go back to stock EVERYTHING, touchwiz. I don't care so much about UNrooting as to going back to touchwiz is my main concern. I'm pretty sure I can UNroot it since there is SO MANY friggin' videos on YouTube on how to do it and NONE on how to flash it back to stock BEFORE UNrooting. Though I'm confident that I'd be able to UNroot it I was just wondering if it was ok to do just that WHILE Cynogen is my current ROM because I don't care if it deletes everything while doing that, I just want to go back to stock. ALL the vids on YouTube are either of Verizon models, UK or ALREADY on stock ROM and only showing UNrooting. So as you can see guys I'm pretty nervous and would appreciate ANY kind of help. And if it helps I backedup on Titanium before flashing to CM and my S3model is the Sprint version, SPH_L710. THANKS GUYS.

just install a launcher
Why don't you try a different ROM or even a launcher. And remember, if you haven't bricked a phone, you just haven't flashed enough LOL

I'm so tired of people rooting and flashing stuff WITHOUT making sure that they can restock. This leads to a lot of talking about the same things over and over again. Also if you look on xda you will find some guides on how to restock.
I want to play a game. I'll give you the main steps on how to solve this but you will have to SEARCH before POSTING.
1. www.sammobile.com
2. download rom in zip file
3. extract the .TAR file which is to be found inside the zip(it's only one file, you can't possibly miss it)
4. connected phone while in download mode
5. ODIN, PDA, insert .TAR
6. start and done.
(to make it easier the steps are in the right order)
Before you do anything, SEARCH and make sure you understand the procedure. When you think you understood give me a reply and tell me what you have to do to make it work so you won't screw things up even worse.
Consider forgiving me for talking like a jerk, I'm not like this usually, but this is at least the 15th time I see someone asking how to restock.
Good luck.
And please, members of the xda forum, please, DON'T give him any links and detailed guides on how to do this. the 1st rule of the xda forum is SEARCH BEFORE POSTING (forum rules) so he has to learn it himself.
-not to mention the whole thread is posted in the wrong section. it should've been in the s3's forum-

Hey Sewrizer,
What's Up man, dude No worries man your frustration is well understood. Don't apologize, I LITERALLY woke up yesterday and decided to get into this whole rooting thing since my phone is off. Did enough research to get it done by not UNdone. I was too impatient to pay attention to the whole backUp and restore process. But I carefully read your rules to your game, lol, and understand them completely. In fact the whole Sammobile was my first idea but sammobile's registration wasn't working at the time. Working now and made my username etc. Now its just telling to wait for my download, 13min., due to traffic? Anyways I do have Odin. I know how to extract, but to make sure. Am I USB debugging before I power down and go into download mode? You don't have to reply but I REALLY do appreciate you taking the time out to make that list. AND please dude, no worries on the jerk attitude bro. I'm your student man, teach me man its all good. Oh i'm new to forums too so I'm not too sure on where the S3 Q&A is. But again THANKS SEWRIZER! you're great man.

Launcher business

Endeavor! Whats Up man,
Sorry dude I'm new to this whole forum thing so I'm pretty siked that people are actually replying! Pretty cool for me, anyways I'm new to this whole rooting thing too, like I was telling Sewrizer I LITERALLY wokeUp and felt like rooting my S3 sine I'm no longer with Sprint lol. And launchers are common, not everyone is cordinated enough to root, believe it or not lol. But I'll remember that man, your brick a phone quote! THRASHERMAG STYLE!
