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.

ODIN IS A WINDOWS PROGRAM FOR INSTALLING STOCK FIRMWARES AND RECOVERIES ONTO SAMSUNG PHONES.
NOTE: THIS METHOD IS ONLY FOR WINDOWS, FOR MAC'S YOU NEED TO USE HEIMDALL OR USE BOOT CAMP, I DONT HAVE A MAC SO I CANT HELP YOU THERE.
NOTE: MICROSOFTS INTERNET BROWSER SOMETIMES HAS ISSUES DL'ING "TAR.MD5" FILES, IF HAVING A MD5 ERROR USE GOOGLE CHROME/FIREFOX BROWSERS TO DOWNLOAD THE FIRMWARE FILES.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for your devices, these methods have been proven to work, but sh*t happens!
I WILL REFER TO THE CUSTOM RECOVERY CALLED CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY AS "CWM" AND TEAM WIN RECOVERY PROJECT AS "TWRP"
1. HOW TO RESTORE STOCK FIRMWARES
PEREQUISTE: DRIVERS FOR USB INSTALLED CORRECTLY. IF NOT INSTALLED USE EITHER USB DRIVERS FILES OR INSTALL KIES WHICH INSTALLS USB DRIVERS.
MAKE SURE KIES, ADB OR ANYTHING THAT HAS USB ACCESS LIKE VM'S ARE NOT RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND - CHECK WITH WINDOWS TASK MANAGER
DO NOT! CHECK "REPARTITION" IN ODIN! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!! > -See Computer Sreen Pics Below-
1. GETTING PHONE INTO DOWLOAD MODE(aka odin mode):
DO NOT TOUCH THE POWER BUTTON FOR THIS PROCEDURE.
Download mode is NOT the same as recovery mode
a. Remove and Reinsert the battery, have usb cable inserted to computer usb port but NOT to your phone until step (c).
b. ATT PHONES - Press and keep down both Volume Up and Volume Down keys simultaneously.
ROGERS PHONES - Press and keep down only the Volume Down key.
DO NOT RELEASE THE VOLUME KEY(S) UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO DO SO IN STEP (d)
c. While still holding the volume key(s) down insert the USB cable into your device.
The phone will turn itself on when usb cable is inserted. * DO NOT TOUCH THE POWER BUTTON *
d. When You see the screen warning you about installing a rom w/a yellow triangle RELEASE the volume key(s)

}
e. 1ST PIC: Now press and release the volume "up" key, you should now be at the Download Mode screen w/odin recognizing your phone.
2ND PIC: this is also download/odin mode - the screen will display this when odin or kies has failed/not completed a previous flash, flash the firmware again w/odin and/or read "section #3 troubleshooting odin" below
1ST PIC >>
.... 2ND PIC >>
2. Download the stock firmware of your choice - links in section "2. STOCK FIRMWARES" below
3. Extract the stock firmware with 7-ZIP or winrar the contents of the stock firmware file (only 2 files , read section 2 below) to a folder.
DO NOT CHANGE the name of the extracted MD5 file or else it wont install.
4. Download Odin-1.85.zip , Extract the contents of odin-185.zip to a folder, within that folder start "Odin3 v1.85.exe" .
5. Prepare Odin: Check "auto-reboot" and UNCHECK ALL OTHER OPTIONS.
Only Click "PDA" and navigate/select the firmware file you extracted in step #2, it will have a md5 extension.
DO NOT! CHECK "REPARTITION" IN ODIN! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! SEE COMPUTER SREEN PICS BELOW.
ON YOUR COMPUTER THIS IS WHAT YOUR SCREEN MUST LOOK LIKE WHEN YOUR PHONE IS IN DOWNLOAD MODE AND ODIN IS RECOGNIZING YOUR PHONE BEFORE YOU HIT THE START BUTTON.
6. Click Start in Odin, it will flash the firmware, give it approx. 10mins. When its done flashing it will autoreboot the phone. Thats it, your done.
ON YOUR COMPUTER THIS IS WHAT YOUR SCREEN MUST LOOK LIKE WHEN ODIN HAS FINISHED FLASHING YOUR PHONE
7. IF YOU HAD ERRORS OR PROBLEMS USING ODIN, GO TO SECTION #3 - "TROUBLESHOOTING ODIN"
8. IF ODIN SUCCESSFULLY FLASHED THE FIRMWARE BUT ARE HAVING FIRMWARE ISSUES AND/OR HAVING BOOT ERRORS OR FORCE CLOSES:
BOOT INTO RECOVERY AND PERFORM A FACTORY RESET AND WIPE BOTH CACHES(PARTITION AND DALVIK) THIS WILL WIPE PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED APPS AND SETTINGS.
IF STILL NOT RESOLVED REFLASH W/ODIN THE STOCK FIRMWARE AGAIN TO SEE IF ANY ISSUES ARE RESOLVED. ALSO READ SECTION #5 " TROUBLESHOOTING STOCK FIRMWARE"
2. STOCK FIRMWARES
THESE ARE UNMODIFIED STOCK FIRMWARE'S
THESE ARE EXACT COPIES OF ROGERS AND ATT STOCK FIRMWARE'S w/STOCK RECOVERY, RADIO, KERNEL, BLOATWARE AND ALL.
YOU CAN FLASH ANYONE OF THESE TO EITHER ATT OR ROGERS PHONES.
THE FILES WILL BE IN A ZIP FORMAT.
USE 7-ZIP OR WINRAR TO EXTRACT.
YOU WILL NOW HAVE 2 FILES UNZIPPED, ONE IS THE TAR FILE WITH A MD5 EXTENSION(do not change the name) WHICH YOU USE WITH ODIN, THE OTHER IS A DLL WHICH WE DONT NEED:
NEW: GOTO SAMMOBILE.COM/FIRMWARES ENTER I727 AS MODEL
YOU MIGHT NEED TO CREATE A FREE ACCOUNT B4 DOING THAT
CURRENT FILES LINKED FROM SAMMOBILE.COM:
NOTE: SOME FIRMWARES ARE NOT AVAILABLE ON SAMMOBILE SO IM HOSTING A FEW OF THEM AS NOTED BELOW:
ATT JB 4.1.2 I727UCMC1 .. <androidfilehost> - <devhost>

3. TROUBLESHOOTING ODIN
READ ALL / DO ALL OF THE STEPS BELOW UNTIL PROBLEM IS RESOLVED
If Odin Shows An md5 Error: Unzip The Firmware Tar File Again And/Or Redownload The File Again
If The Phone Boots Into Any Rom, Make Sure Windows Can Transfer From And To Internal And External Sdcards To Rule Out Driver Issues
Does Kies Recognize Your Phone, Even If You Are On A Custom Rom Kies Will Recognize Your Phone, This Rules Out Driver Issues
Make Sure You Are In Download Mode On Your Phone
If having trouble getting into dl mode try this>> take out the battery and leave it out. Plug the phone into the micro usb cable. Plug the USB end into your comp. Hold volume rockers down(either both or vol "-") and reinsert the battery
Make Sure Kies, Adb Or Anything That Has Usb Access Like Vm's Are Not Running In The Background or Running As A Service - Check With Windows Task Manager.
Disable Your Antivirus
Run Odin As Administrator
Restart Computer
Make Sure Battery Is Charged
Try Different Usb Port, Preferably The Rear Ones On Computer
Use Original Samsung Usb Cable, Or Try Different Cable But Still Oem
Uninstall drivers and kies, unplug phone & reboot comp, then just reinstall the USB Drivers from here
Try A Different Computer
Clean Phones Usb Port W/no Battery Installed
If You Tried All Of Above Tests And Phone Is Not Recognized By Your Computer You Then Have A Hardware Problem With The Phones Usb Port. Read this for possible fix - FIX FOR PHONES USB PORT
If Phone Boot Loops Or Enters Into Recovery Mode While Trying To Get Into Download Mode(and you are sure you followed above procedure and also did not touch the power button), You Could Have A Stuck Power Button. To Fix That Try To Repeatedly Keep Pushing The Power Button Hard To Try To Unstick It.
If All Else Fails And You Can Boot Into twrp, You Can Use This Method To Install Stock Ics HOW TO INSTALL STOCK ICS USING TWRP even w/a DEAD USB Port
If Odin hangs at "Getting PIT for mapping" or giving a pit error - Read This Thread and post number 15 for solution
4. HOW TO ENTER INTO THE RECOVERY MODE:
ENTERING IN TO RECOVERY MODE IS THE SAME METHOD FOR BOTH ATT AND ROGERS PHONES
ENTERING IN TO RECOVERY MODE IS THE SAME METHOD FOR BOTH STOCK AND A CUSTOM RECOVERY TWRP
Now turn off your phone, unplugged(might work plugged in)
Press and keep both volume keys down
Then press the power button while still holding down the volume keys
When you feel the phone vibrate or see a logo on the screen, release the power button but not the volume keys.
When screen goes black release the volume keys.
Wait a few seconds to boot in to recovery
You are now in recovery mode
.

5. FACTS AND TROUBLESHOOTING ON FLASHING STOCK FIRMWARES
NOTE: IF HAVING FIRMWARE ISSUES AND/OR HAVING BOOT ERRORS OR FORCE CLOSES - BOOT INTO RECOVERY AND PERFORM A FACTORY RESET AND WIPE BOTH CACHES(PARTITION AND DALVIK) - IF NOT RESOLVED REFLASH THE STOCK FIRMWARE AGAIN TO SEE IF ANY ISSUES ARE RESOLVED.
IF UPGRADING OR DOWNGRADING, FROM USING KIES OR ODIN AND ARE EXPERIENCING LAG, FC, PERFORM A FACTORY RESET/WIPE FROM WITHIN RECOVERY, DOING SO YOU WILL LOSE YOUR APPS AND DATA SO PERFORM A BACKUP BEFORE YOU PROCEED, THIS WILL MAKE YOUR PHONE AS WHEN IT IS SHIPPED OUT.
YOU CAN USE THE TUTORIAL POSTED ABOVE TO FLASH STOCK FIRMWARE EVEN WHEN KIES FAILED DURING THE UPGRADE PROCESS
THE ONLY REQUIREMENT TO USE ODIN IS THAT YOUR PHONE CAN ENTER INTO DOWNLOAD MODE AND YOUR COMPUTER RECOGNISES THE PHONE:
Does Not Matter If Your On A Stock Or Custom Rom Or If Phone Is Rooted
IF ON CUSTOM ROM:
Cwm/Twrp Does Not Wipe The Radio, Flash The Relevant Stock Radios Twice With Cwm/Twrp Before Proceeding. Links For Stock Radios Are In The Download Section
In Cwm/twrp Perform A full wipe >factory Reset, System, Partition And Dalvik Caches, Do That To All Of Them 2 Times Each.
If Performed Above Procedure You Could Also Reflash The Stock Firmware Again To See If Any Issues Are Resolved
DOWNGRADING FROM STOCK ICS BACK TO GB, A FACTORY RESET MUST BE PERFORMED EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER FLASHING THE FIRMWARE FROM RECOVERY
How To Get Into Recovery is Shown Above in Section 4.
UPGRADING FROM GB TO ICS, ICS TO JB DOES NOT WIPE YOUR APPS/SETTINGS:
Perform A Backup Just In Case
Will Lose Data If You Performed A Factory Reset Before Or After Upgrading
If Experiencing Lag Or Force Close Perform A Factory Reset From Within Recovery, But Then You Will Lose Your Settings And Installed Apps
FLASHING STOCK FIRMWARES ON ROOTED PHONES WILL LOSE ROOT
FLASHING SAMMOBILE STOCK FIRMWARES DOES NOT TRIP THE FLASH COUNTER.
FLASHING FIRMWARES DOES NOT WIPE YOUR SDCARDS, INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL: note: back them up just in case.
YOU CAN UPGRADE/DOWNGRADE AS YOU LIKE
STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH FIRMWARE - Ok try this:
update twrp goto the recovery section in the 1STOP STICKY
remove sim(eliminates sim card issues)
remove external sdcard
backup internal sdcard then format it
then perform a full wipe: in twrp recoveryformat/wipe >both caches, data,system,android secure
copy ucmc1 radio onto sdcard and flash it twice w/out cable plugged in
then use odin to flash jb stock firmware x2.
if still having issues after doing this then its some kind of hw failure, what hw failure idk but most likely emmc (memory) failure

Nice write up. I actually did this exact method yesterday. After installing AOKP my phone started doing some weird sheeit(and i lost my internal) so I flashed this to get back to stock and it works great. Plus ICS side is just bugging the crap out of me with the bugs, also I'm a flashaholic so I've been going back and forth anyways. Before I flashed CWM I did the software update to get to 2.3.6 UCLA3, then flashed CWM, backup, root and I'm back to bug free.....for now..... Nice to be able to do this without tripping the counter, k0nanes did, but he did save my arse more than once.
Do u do factory reset in stock recovery or in rom privecy? After flashing tar?

Aokp is alpha, non functioning internal is in the op. They're working on it. All you had to do is flash the backup you should of made (per the op)

I definitely do all of that - though I'm using CWM Touch 5.8.1.3. Should I be using 5.5.0.4?
Man this thing works wonders!
confirmed that it does not trigger counter!!
Thank you!
If I was always stock (never installed modded roms) and would flash this stock 2.3.5 , will that appear in download mode counter ? I am now at zero..thanks

NO it wont. If you do it the right way.
Is there a way to reset the download mode counter? I must've screwed something up a while back, and I've got it at 1 right now.
Does that matter for anything other than warranty purposes?

they should both b doing the same thing, u can try DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIPE_EXT4.zip, if anything is getting carried over i assure u ur not doing the full wiping or possably some apps r using ur sdcard(int or external) to auto restore their data, r u installing any apps upon flashing the stock
I've tried all of that, SD cards wiped, and just tried reverting to stock, so I guess that's not the issue either.
Color me frustrated.
That said, your stock revert advice was very helpful.
CWM was working fine on my phone. But recently i tried to install fxp 220. But while flashing boot.img my phone got somewhat dead, in the sense, the phone would only vibrate when i press power button and nothing would happen. So i downloaded stock kernel and flashed. Now the phone is working fine. But cwm is not booting. So i re-installed it. Still not working. Please help. Thanks in advance!
Please for GOD sake reply...I'm waiting. Tell me what has happened. I want to correct it. Please tell me how can i get cwm to work on m y phone. I've performed a nandroid backup before this happened. So is there any way out. Please please do help me.
Have you rooted after installing stock rom? First flash stock or skip if you have done that already.
Then use unlockroot to root your fone.
Then find cwm from the android development section and install it.
Then turn off your fone.
Turn it on and press vol - repeatedly when you see Sony logo.

Solved my problem. I installed tipo dual-recovery and now i can boot into any of the recovery.
Hey guys,
I was previously on xtresolite 2.4 lollipop rom and saw that he had a new rom out based on Marshmellow 6.01.
The instructions for the installation the new rom said to flash the new bootloader, modem and recovery before installing the new rom.
I flashed the bootloader with Odin using the BL button as instructed and how it's stuck on the Samsung Screen. I can still boot into download mode, but that's about it. It won't let me boot into recovery. Doing a bit of research it says to boot into download warning screen and cancel. Then quickly do the recovery buttons (volup, home, power), but it still won't go in.
So now I'm stuck! i'm trying to download the new stock Marshmellow firmware to see if I can install that, but aside from that I'm not sure what else I can do.
Any suggestions? Since I'm still able to use Odin, can I try to re-install the correct bootloader or is that too late? I'm not even sure which bootloader to install now. :crying::crying::crying:
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks,
kc
as long as you can boot into the download mode, everything's alright. try flashing the latest stock rom for your model. then a new recovery, and then the new xtrestolite rom.
if something fails. do it again.... flash the latest stock rom, and so on.
Just make sure you have the correct model software for your phone and there won't be any issues. Did you backup your imei way back when you rooted on lollipop? If you did then everything will be fine if you didn't, Restore stock ROM and root, then backup your imei, hopefully you won't have any issues with your modem
Try pressing on power + vol down untill the phone shuts down then quickly press home+power+vol up before the phone starts . you will be in recovery try a factory reset then wait for the first boot. Voila !
hey all, just wanted to update. I still couldn't get into recovery, but was able to flash the stock rom and it's working as stock right now. Been using it for the past week or so and no major issues noted. I'm a bit scared to mess around again
Now that I'm on stock Marshmallow 6.0.1 rom, do I still need to try and flash the modem and boot loader for it?
Also, now that i'm on stock do I need to unroot again to install the twrp recovery? or can I just go into odin and flash it right away?
Thanks again for the help and suggestions!!!

Stock rom overrides everything so your root is long gone & you now have the latest bootloader & modem already - don't stress & no need to do anything else! If you want custom recovery simply flash with latest TWRP using Odin in download mode (in tar format using AP button). Don't root with TWRP if asked to - instead download latest recovery flash-able SuperSU (ZIP) onto your device & then flash it using TWRP. This will be the safest option for you (with root if you want).
AFAIK one always uses the "AP" button if you wanna flash <anything> with Odin - not the BL button (I've never used this). The rest are for pro's only (of which I'm not one). I'm simply a regular rom flasher & read/study/compare several guides before attempting anything I've never done before with my device. If the overall feeling is not a good one, rule of thumb is I don't proceed until I feel confident enough about what I'm attempting to do.
Good luck.
On my sm-G920I
I flashed the xtresolite ROM without first flashing the bootloader and modem and it worked fine for me, if you back up everything with an otg cable onto a USB then flash the ROM everything should work fine but you will have to wait around 5 minutes for it to boot. If your still waiting after 10-20 minutes then you did something wrong and you can just wipe your entire phone then recover everything from your backup on your USB ????????
