stuck in a rut

So I want to do the new sw update but can't because I deleted some stock apps so the checksum wouldn't match and a hard reset won't restore them I guess so I would flash a stock rom but am I right thinking there isn't one yet? So how can I get to an original rom and then update or maybe make the new update work?
D2G stock rom
I don't know if the update will be compatible or not but from my understanding this is pretty much the stock rom that Motorola handed Verizon to put all their bloatware on then release the phone. I did load this rom on my d2g and it works flawlessly. Might be worth a try, not a direct link but will get you headed in the right direction. The rom manager gives you the opportunity to load the barebones stock google rom or the Vanilla based version, it just downloads and flashes, works perfect I didn't even have to re-activate. It is already pre-rooted so maybe the update won't work but I just wanted to make you aware of it. I work at verizon and did the update to the floor model and my dad's stock d2g also and didn't notice any difference really. I think vzw is just fixing some of the bugs that they created anyway so having the stock rom may end up with the same result, a rom that functions perfectly, good luck!.......droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-roms/106629-rom-fission-2-4-droidx-vanilla-generic-android-aosp-like-fission-rom-manager.html
@evil yeah im kind of in the same boat, let me know if srensber solution works for you.
I froze a bunch of apps with Titanium Backup and renamed some stuff with Root Explorer. I recently just re-named everything i changed back to the factory stuff (bak -> apk) but it still doesnt seem to do any good.
I did create a number of back ups using Rom manager but i cant seem to find out where they are located and how to restore them. hmm. Not sure what to do.
Ah i realize what ive done wrong ... i didnt know you had to have bootstrap installed along with clockwork recoveryy in order to make a backup hmm. Going to need a rom of stock d2g lol.
clockwork recovery installs a boot hijack, which might be the culpirt

If anyone else has any input about this please help!

[Q] Clockworkmod recovery

Where do you get the newer unofficial versions?
I bought my phone with version 5.0.2.3 which was pretty sweet as it got rid of all the "No" options. But, I flashed back to stock the day I got it to learn the phone and make sure I knew the long way to root and unroot it and now would like to get 5.0.2.3 back (or newer if there is a newer version which is better). I am using the Nexus S 4G.
Thanks.
inb4 use twrp...
Sounds like you're looking for j_r0dd's version of CWM. Thanks for reminding me, i was meaning to give it a try yesterday.
Thanks. I didn't realize the newer version numbers were mods of the original.
No problem Evo, happy to help
Tried it myself too and quite like the modded menu layout. Definitely a keeper.

ICS LY-F1 nandroid with gapps

Ok.. The manufacturer finally release ICS for this tablet, it initially does not have gapps..... you need to install CWM and reboot into recovery through ADB... like i said you need to have CWM already installed!!!!! this works on ALL my tablets i just checked it out... it has market, gmail, and superuser. once it is installed you can access recovery by holding down volume:up and power until recovery shows up... ( before It could not be done)
here is the link and instructions for CWM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1378594
here is my nandroid:
http://www.2shared.com/file/HInNxhH1/2012-02-13143731.html
(i had to strip out google talk, it kept on giving me problems..)
on a side note you need a external card to access the nandroid, put it in /clockworkmod/backup/
i haven't tested anything else, ie can not load youtube app and not sure about video playback... netflix only plays sound not video...
if this helped you hit the like button.. i am poor and i only do this when i have time and out of love for this great device and OS.... i am not responsible if your wife leaves you or a natural disaster happens in your area or you brick that sucker.... flash at your own risk...
thanks goes out to everyone that made this possible... maybe i will see if i can port CM9 but don't hold me to that..
Good job, I was actually going to post this today as well until I searched to make sure no one else had already done it. CWM works great with this now that the capacitive buttons work, now to do some modding so we can get cm9 running on it. I still can't get netflix apk to stream, the sound works but no video.
ya i know! that sucks... i need to try to get a youtube app and push it to see if it works.. but i really love it... i wonder if i can try the momo9 cm9 and see what works and go from there.. but school and work keeps me busy as hell!!!
Google Talk works for me with "newtech25_for_ics4.0.3"- script
Google Talk does not work with anything I tried. Tried a lot of patches and versions. Any ideas ?
Try to reflash manufacture rom then newtech25_for_ics4.0.3 script.
i used this one http://www.sappasit.go.th/android/newtech25_for_ics4.0.3.zip
but if figured out there is bug in calendar sync with newtheck script. talk works also with video no problems at all
The gapps package I installed from clockwork mod had youtube in it and it works fine so I have no idea why netflix wouldn't work on ics when it was fine on the stock gb firmware.
what was the gapps package you used?
At this point two main issues
Market does not show system apps.
Some apps (google), even if installed from the Market gives a android system stop responding...
Update
Errors were due to Gapps not properly installed...
Small issue though Camera photos are up side down ?! Can anyone test it for me as well? as this may affect skype video calling ie.
Last thing to sort out Full market support and flash...
my camera works fine on mine, and i restored on 3 of the same tablets... i am working on finding a working google apps i guess... but everything works on mine. Weird, but i will lool for another ICS google apps and then do another nandroid. thanks for your feedback..
Use gapps v11 from CM9. Just flash them from CWM.

Im using last gb. 2.3.4 n all is worked. But if i install last ics from f1, touch keys isnt work and touchscreen is crazy when tablet charge.

Sorry for the question.
Can i use CWM linked on first thread post for LY-F1?
They say only supported device is NOVO7 Advanced
Other thing, when i reboot into recovery from ROM Manager my tablet just boots normally, what's wrong?

Thanks for the answer.
I'm on 2.3.4 from 20120107 when i press vol+ and power i only get a triangle with exclamation point inside and an android icon but nothing else.
So i need to flash ics first and then use cwm to flash the nandroid with gapps, right?
Regards
Hey I was trying to install CWM into my F1 and I cannot run the given scripts. It says permission denied. Any way to work this around?
It needs root. The easiest way is with Unlock Root.

As far as I know, the device comes pre rooted. I tried to root it again with superoneclick and it says it is already rooted.

[Q] NFC error?

Whenever I tap on it to turn it on it will say connection error, or something of that sort. It worked fine on stock before I rooted it and went to a custom rom. I restored the stock rom and went back to it.. and now it stopped working?
What should I do?
Does anyone have any input?
could be the rom. are you trying to use wallet?
Some roms its buggy and some it works, from what ive gathered its a kernel thing and what you will have to do is play with kernel/rom combos until you get a working one.
besides wallet what would you use it for?

[Q] cmp745e

I was able to root my cmp745e, I installed the drivers and got rktools to work. I found a rom and loaded it with my stock kernel but my touchscreendoesnt work. I can use my wireless keyboard and everything works great. Is there a way to get my touchscreen drivers off my device and use them with the new rom?
