Just in case you are messing around and you mess something up!
The mirror seems to be kind of slow after I download it I will re-up it to a few other places.

I apologize for my stupidness but as I've never owned an HTC device I'm not 100% sure I understand how this file works. So, do you need to put it into download mode and then run the exe or just enable debugging and then run it?
Definitely thanks. This would presumably break root if we had it.

You'll need to use HTC sync to RUU the phone, sort of like ODIN, except with HTC's software

Its basically your phones stock factory reset if you mess anything up being adventurous and trying to find a perm root. You plug your phone into your computer and run it from your desktop
or i can make a cleaned-up (senseless + bloat removed) stock rom with all the proprietary files needed.

I assume you mean restoring factory defaults which will wipe user data but it will not restore OS and kernel data whereas this will.

yeah, I think so. You can do a reset through the phone menus or through bootloader. That was the only 2 ways I knew. Will try this as my phone is a little sluggish after I did Zroot and deleted it and did a factory reset.

The only reason to restore stock RUU would be if you borked your phone or were perm rooted and wanted to return the phone to the store.
Got it. Thanks

I received this error with my Heroc.
The way I fixed it was to have the phone at the bootloader when running the RUU. Not sure if that will work with this phone or not but worth a shot..
Restart the phone into bootloader - Power off and Power on while holding vol. down, or type adb reboot bootloader in your CMD prompt.
Once there make sure your phone is plugged in and says Fastboot USB at the top then try running the RUU again.
Let us know if it works.

usb debugging enabled?
I just installed the cyanogen 10 mod to my blaze and tried it. i went to this file manager that told me to reroot my phone so that I may be able to use it better. I went to odin to reroot it again but i accidentally used the original blaze.pit file on it and when it rebooted it showed me the original samsung starter instead of the cyanogen mod starter. That wasn't the problem, the problem was it never went in to the phones home screen or apps. Instead it continues to show the samsung logo and the flying android over and over again. I tried using the SGH-T769-hitsquad tar file to fix it (i need to mention that i bricked it once before and used this tar file to fix it) but it keeps taking me to the samsung logo. I can't even try to factory restore it because it just starts acting strange when I go to the menu. I can still go into download mode, i've gone searching for a file or anything to help me fix it but i can't find anything. Please, any suggestions?!
Here's a link to stock Tmo Blaze tar's from GB to ICS. ICS is the UVLH5 file. I suggest download that one.. then flash that file through odin.. dont include a Blaze pit file. just PDA file which is the one you'll download.
EDIT:
They're the ones ontop of the page that says Firmwares for SGH-T769 - USA (T-Mobile)
Let me know if it works for you.

Good Evening,
AT&T LG G2 rooted, TWRP. Have installed a few different roms but mostly used PA. All of a sudden the phone started experiencing issues with cell Data. So I did a clean install of PA and then had issues with BT, did another clean install and had issues with Wifi.
So I decided ok maybe its time to go back to stock. Hook it up to a win7 computer... Device manager doesn't see it at all (doesn't show up AT ALL). Says charging and that is it, does not recognize that it is hooked up to a computer. Have tried several different computers now and several different USB cables. The only way I could try other roms was downloading via wifi. Tried a stock rom and still experiencing issues.
I think there is something wrong with the phone so I want to get it warrantied, but without hooking it up to a computer I can not figure out any way to remove the custom recovery or revert it to stock.No matter what I do no computer will even recognize the phone is connected, let alone trying to install drivers. Device manager just straight up does not see it.
Any help or suggestions is GREATLY appreciated. Any way to remove recovery/root without a PC connection?
UPDATE: Here was my solution
Took some work but I figured out a way to do it in case anyone else ever runs in to this:
(make sure you are stock rom or on a stock rooted rom before proceeding)
First download the stock recovery.img on the device.
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime...10B_Partitions
Then download/open Terminal Emulator and type:
su
Then
cd /sdcard/downloads
Then
dd if=/sdcard/downloads/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
That replaces TWRP/CWM with the stock recovery.
Then open supersu, go to settings, towards the bottom is full unroot.
Yay no more custom recovery or root on stock rom.
If you are planning on getting warranty you need to use download mode and the back to stock guide also that is the best way to flash to stock and get rid of problems

Agreed, problem is the computer will not see the phone, so I can't use the program to flash it back to stock.
It's not just a driver or com issue, the computer does not see it AT ALL. Device manager doesn't see a new device when I plug it in (in OS, in Download mode, nothing).

Different usb ports, different computers, different cables (stock one included). No luck. Phone says download mode then goes to "firmware update" and says at the bottom B53 then "ROOTED" in red letters. Nothing appears in device manager.
In android regarless of rom if I plug it in it doesn't act like I plugged it in to a computer, just charging. Again nothing in device manager regardless of USB debugging or not.
currently have twrp 2.6.3.3, running D80210b 4.2.2, with baseband M8974A-AAAANAZM-1.0.190034
What I really need to know is if there is any way to restore stock recovery and remove root without using that method (ie using Terminal Commands or flashing a package, since I can download via wifi).
I am pretty sure this phone has a messed up USB port, but I don't really want to send it in with it rooted/twrp on it .

Did you try restore & reset functionality on the phone? I had somewhat similar issue with the plug & pop feature (although my laptop recognized the phone under Devices & Printer but it didn't show it as a separate drive) when I flashed CM11 but then I did a full factory reset, everything goes back to normal. Also you might try uninstall LG driver and reinstall it. Hope this help.

Unfortunately it is not a driver issue, it doesn't show up in device manager at all, on several machines.
I have tried multiple different roms, factory rests, even tried ADB sideloading, no luck.
i remember there's this app called Auto Rec that has an option to unroot the device or something like that.
Took some work but I figured out a way to do it in case anyone else ever runs in to this:
First download the stock recovery.img on the device.
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/VS980/Stock_Firmware/10B_Partitions

Then

That replaces TWRP/CWM with the stock recovery.
Then open supersu, go to settings, towards the bottom is full unroot.
Yay no more custom recovery or root on stock rom. (this was after flashing a rooted stock rom by downloading it on the device itself since I had no USB).

It worked perfectly and I got the phone exchanged without any hassle, but if your USB is working there are plenty of better ways to return to stock. This was an option I had to use because of USB not functioning. I mean this would allow you to unroot without wiping/restoring but if your going to send the phone in anyway you might as well wipe it as well.

I have a question if you can answer to me.
I restored the official rom from TWRP and did all the process you wrote. Is there any way to check if now I have the stock recovery?
And to see if I am now ready to send my phone to LG?
P.S. "I will hit the thanks button tomorrow because I have reached the limit of 8 thanks per day "

Noob question, but will this allow users to take OTA updates? Running stock rooted right now and really don't want revert to stock to get latest ota, but this seems pretty seamless. Thanks.

I believe that in order to take OTAs you must be on stock rom and stock recovery. Be rooted will not be a problem if you have these stock but when OTA installed you will lose root access.
If I am wrong, correct me someone.
Hi
Sorry to bump this thread but I need to unroot my AT&T G2 800 so get the warranty.. I had taken the stock backup using twrp.
Can I restore the restore it using twrp ? and do i need to install Terminal emulator on my restored stock rom and then do the commands ?
Are there any chances of bricking the phone ?
Hello, everyone. A few days ago, I hard-bricked my Galaxy S3 running 4.4.2. I finally got the class 10 SD card and got it working after many tries. My question now is, what is my phone restricted to? Should I be paranoid about it running out of battery or turning it off? Is it safe to restore the device (I don't really want to, but if I must...). The problem obviously started because ex-unlock screwed up my bootloader. Is there any damage left that needs fixing? Thanks, guys!

First of all, nice job un-bricking your phone! You should, if you haven't already, Odin the stock OTA 4.4.2 update MD5. After you've done that, you don't need to worry about rebooting your phone or running out of battery. You can then use your SD card normally, or keep it as a backup in case you hard brick your phone again. With a locked bootloader, you cannot install custom roms or recoveries. You also cannot use any current tool to try and unlock the bootloader. Every tool as of July 29, 2014, will fail and probably hard brick your device. You can still root your phone with Towelroot, that's how I got my phone rooted and it's right as rain. You can also remove carrier bloatware/system apps, use Xposed modules, and do all the other cool things you can do with a rooted device other than installing a custom ROM/Recovery.

If you haven't removed your recovery MicroSD from your phone, you should be fine to reboot/run out of juice.

Alright, so I turned off my phone to test and it booted up normally, so I don't think I need to worry about that. I'm borrowing a friend's PC and getting Odin set up.

I don't believe so. It will probably remove your root though, so you'll probably need to re-root after you Odin the stock OTA.

Good to know! One more thing. My phone will only enter download mode briefly and then restart immediately after into regular mode. So it won't let me go into download mode. If I just reset my phone using the factory reset, will it have the same effect as flashing the exact same rom with Odin?
Hi everyone.
I have the following problem with a Nexus 5: During an update, the system crashed. The phone is now stuck in an endless bootloop, trying to install the update. When left long enough, the update screens eventually come up, but you are immediately blasted with a ton of errors and no matter what you do, you are unable to complete the update. This, however, is not the problem.
I have tried various utilities in order to flash the phone back to factory settings. I have made use of Unified Android ToolKit, as well as Nexus Root Toolkit, but a problem with the phone itself is preventing me from flashing it and the problem is as follows: I can access the phone via USB, as well as the bootloader, but when I unlock the bootloader to start the flashing, it immediately locks itself again and I'm unable to start the flash process.
I've searched for other instances in which the bootloader won't unlock, but I can't find any information. Is there perhaps a hardware problem preventing me from unlocking the bootloader or can someone help me find a solution to this problem?

If the lock state reverts on a reboot, 99 times out of 100, it means the internal memory has an issue. RMA.

No probs. Sounds like the update got stuck at the bootloader flash and corrupted. It's probably not a fatal NAND issue, rather corrupt partition or two but it usually means sending it in.
You can try the LG flashtool as a last resort before doing so though, as you never know...
You can find a link to it in the sticky thread in my signature. Best to stay away from actual "toolkits" though and either use fastboot manually or LG flash tool, although fastboot probably cant help you here - just saying for future ref...

Dalvik cannot break your bootloader. Your only option was use lg flashtool and if that failed, RMA. Let's not get false hopes and waste time not doing this.

I completely forgot that you mentioned the LG Flashtool, I feel like such an idiot. I'll try that tomorrow as a last resort.
No worries

i thought about LG FLASHTOOL but decided to try reinstaling the rom cuz i had no other option since i forgot to leave a backup rom on the device. So I did it as if I was installing a brand new rom Wiped dalvik, cache and system then reflashed the rom and then the gapps. Even tho it was the same ROM file I had a different outcome. It's working fine now but I did go back to the nightlies after it started working again just to be safe.
Now... people may have a different outcome when trying to solve this issue but this actually worked for me after having a minor heart-attack thinking I was gonna lose all my stuff

Yes, but your issue is different to the OP's. His bootloader lock state reverts whenever he changes it. This is a pretty much "fatal" issue. What you did cannot help him unfortunately.

It speaks about a KDZ file. What is it and where would I find it?

Not sure, never used it. Are you following the Nexus 5 LG Flash tool guide? If not, have a look. You can get to it via my signature
