Did that already just uninstalled it using titanium backup with root explorer. Is there any way they can find out since I uninstalled it or even had it?

The seller called me to unroot and send it in lol... once you unroot, clockworkmod is gone... since you don't have permissions anymore.

there is a one click unroot you can use

it will return you back to out of the box stock so you don't have to worry about anything.

Root and cwm recovery aren't related.
Uninstalling su.zip with TB is like saying I don't want black, but go on and wipe black with black lol (TB requires root to perform most actions)
Just install a Google full rom (sticky in general section) and lock the bootloader afterwards.

I don't get what you say. Installing a full Android stock rom will delete cwm recovery and add the stock recovery again (as well as restoring the install-recovery.sh again).

I meant that I have to remand the install-recovery.sh back.. so it will delete the recovery.

A full ROM from Google will come with stock recovery, no need to worry about that when using that method.

If your radio is the correct one that came with the version you have installed, why bother.. if not they can see that the bootloader was unlocked just from comparing your device's Android + radio version versus what it would have been via OTA.

(Q) Need a nandroid of t-mobile

I made a mistake while flashing a new rom and deleted my backup of stock rooted t-mobile ICS through TWRP. Can someone post a complete working nandroid of the stock t-mobile rom. Prefet TWRP but CWR is fine also.
Ivetried some in the dev section but no matter what i try they wont boot and seem to be a problem among others.

I have seen both version, CWM and TWRP nandroid backup posted.
Just search for it.

Did you fastboot the boot.img? That's probably why it didn't boot.

Yes I did that also. I can not restore it because I get error of md5 missing.

Not sure what's wrong. You did unzip and move the file to CWM folder?

I restored a backed up rom in the recovery and now the phone wont turn on. It wont even enter recovery mode or download mode.

It doesn't do anything? No sign of life? What recovery are you using? You where trying to restore a nandroid?

Stuck in CWM Recovery

When booting up (by pressing power button, and when I connect it to charger it boots up by itself) the phone goes straight to CWM Recovery. I've tried everything, nothing works.
When in CWM everything seems to work fine: I can flash the ROM or do backup/restore.
I tried going back to stock - same problem. Can Not boot to OS.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Just to clarify on understanding your issue, when you boot up the phone by pressing only the power button your phone goes into cwm instead? While in cwm when you select reboot does is just stay in cwm? What version of cwm are you using? If I were in your shoes, I would reflash cwm with nvflash and go from there.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

Sounds like you need to NVFlash CWM.
Did you use ROM Manager to flash CWM?
Appears you flashed CWM to the boot partition, not the recovery partition, which can happen when you use ROM manager.

The answer to all of these questions is "Yes"
The CWM Recovery I used is 5.0.2.0, but I tried other versions too, same results: reboot to Recovery just by pressing power or "reboot' from CWM.

I would next than suggest using the scrubber/nullifier, followed by NV flashing the stock rescue package, than follow back up with NV flashing CWM and than your ROM.
This should rebuild all partitions and than rebuild from scratch.
This is the procedure I follow when I brick my phone. I can provide you with links if needed.
This is the only thing I would think to do if my device.

Just use nvflash to push stock with CWM. Should work.

No worries, but to re-partition right after a healthy dose of nullification is an overkill IMHO .

I found and used the nullifier, but it didn't help either. I used the file manager that comes with the nullifier, and for some reason the boot folder is empty even after I flash the ROM, and I also tried copy/paste the boot image from my backup folder to the root/boot folder.
I'm frustrated. Please HELP. any other suggestions.

Lets try pushing back to completely stock and see if the phone works correctly under stock conditions.

Did NV Flash run with no errors and it still boots to CWM?
Last idea I have is Волк's suggestion, I multi quoted this thread so the link is right above this text.
Or try running LGs official update tool and see if it will run.

I tried to reboot the phone, and now its in boot loop.
Is it safe to flash CWM Recovery(v5.0.2.7) now ? And then restore from my backup?

If you made the backup with a different version of CWM the backup will not restore. You have to use the same version to restore the ROM as you did to make the backup.

Yey!!! It worked! :victory::victory::laugh:
Flashed NV Flash----->Flashed CWM 5.0.2.7----> and then restored from my backup. Now my phone is as it was before.
Thanks so much everyone!!!

ERROR 7

Hi.
I have problem ERROR 7. I try flash some ROMS, and last flash crashed and write ERROR 7. I found some solutions, but every time you need copy some files to memory on phome. BUT.. my System doesnt start, then I have no chance to copy files to phone. When system start, every time go to recovery
How can i fix it?
PLS help Mi..
THX..

If I'm right, error 7 is an issue with the updater-script. Try redownloading the ROM, because it could be a bad download, but if it still doesn't work, switch recoveries
