I recently found my old OpV from when I was on virgin. The phone is still in good condition, turns on, I even have an extended battery for it. I want to sell it cuz I could use the extra money right now.
Thing is..
It's running a version of IHO that I flashed back a while ago.
I don't know what happened to the micro sd card I had in it.
I need to know how, if possible, to get the phone running the stock software again, using an sd card other than the one I had in there when I flashed the rom.
I currently have an htc sensation, so I can back up the files off it's card, erase the card and use it to work on the OpV.
Thing is i'm pretty rusty when it comes to this so if someone could link me, or tell me the steps to getting this thing stock again I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.

Dang! You ARE rusty! So much so that you forgot to SEARCH in the Optimus V Android Development section! You would have found this in the first post of the first sticky thread!
Contains link to stock ROM and recovery along with instructions to flash them near the end of the post.
Hello folks,
Am new here, last night after watching some videos regarding jelly bean, i really cant wait for the official update and decided to root my phone, so i followed all the necessary steps and unlocked bootloader installed clockworkmod and as the instructions said, i wiped all cache, factory reseting done and when i chose to install the ROM from sd card its just not loading an shwing me some error. I tried alot i got a backup created before rooting but even restore is not working when i tried. I think there is some problem with ROM file i copied on to phone storage, as i cant start the phone normally there is no way i can copy another ROM into phone storage as far as i know. can some one please help me with this issue, I have a back up copy in my computer too. can some one please tell me is there anyway i can copy another ROM into phone storage or directly flash from computer or anyother way, I just want my phone working.

Clock work = unreliable twrp recovery = reliable
What Rom did you try to flash can u give me the link please
Agree, use TWRP and not CWM.
What CWM did you install, and what ROM. Maybe another case of installing the wrong recovery or ROM for the Tegra3 One X.

Sounds like you are trying to install a ROM for the quad core version. You better be happy it is giving you a warning, or else you might have had a very expensive paperweight.
When you get to the bootloader screen (the white screen with a bunch of small text and words like "fastboot" and "bootloader") do you see the word "evita" or "endeavoru"? If so, which one? This thread is in the evita forum and the two devices, although identical to the naked eye, re completely incompatible.
Hello,
First I rooted my HTC One X
After that I had put CM 10 jelly bean on it.
But I wanted tot try the MIUI rom, so I downloaded it. Before is installed I made a back op with clockworkmod.
Then I installed the MIUI.us_endeavoru_v4_2.9.7_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed rom from Onex root .com
After that my phone didn't want to boot.
So I have been searching after the problem. The solution should have been to flash the boot.img
After i did my phone still doesn't start. So i tried several ways to recover but i wont work.
And now i've got an even bigger problem my phone does't start and if I go to bootloader, my phone gives the option HBOOT and says checking SD card update.
Could somebody please help me.........I don't no what tot do any more:crying:

Can u still get into clockwordmod ? If u cant try pulling battery out then put it BACK INN , and hold your butons to get back into Reboot .. then go back too your backup and try that too see if its the rom or something wrong with your phone ,,
One x has no removable battery
Sent with my fast aZZ [email protected] Android.....hox+ is waiting rooted for none stock roms
Delete update.zip
Is the SDcard removable... I didn't look up that spec but if it is... you need to remove it, put it in another device so you can access the files and then delete the update.zip you used earlier.
Once that is complete it should exit that loop you are stuck in and allow you into recovery.
If removing the update.zip and reinserting the card still does not get you to at least the recovery... then idk what else to tell you...
Nope no SD card remove either

I think I screwed up big time.
I fist got my GS3 Verizon and rooted with Towelroot. Then I tried installing TWRP. I was unaware of the locked bootloader, and found out about SafeStrap. I never actually uninstalled TWRP. From there, I installed SafeStrap, then I tried installing CM 12.1 and I messed up. My phone won't boot up in any mode other than download mode. When I try to boot in to recovery I will get the "System Software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone." Message. I need to wipe and install stock ROM. Someone please help! (And if possible, maybe someone can walk me through having CM 12.1 on here? I really want it on, but I need a walkthrough)
Thanks guys!
P.S. I am running Android 4.4.2.

Your best bet may be using Odin to flash the stock 4.4.2 ROM.
I bought my i535 (Verizon SGS3/d2vzw) used as a device to develop modding skills. It came with the 4.4.2 rom already installed. I have learned from reading in this forum that options for you and I are very limited. Once your device is restored you can use SafeStrap but not TWRP, CWM, or Philz Recovery. There are only three roms available to us: Stock, SuperLiteRom, and PaulPizz ROM.
@ShapesBlue may have better advice, he actually used this device as a phone and has much more experience with what can be done with the i535 on the 4.4.2 bootloader (NE1)
First of all, thank you for ALL your help! I REALLY appreciate it! You are a lifesaver. Now, my question is, can I flash android 4.2 so the bootloader isn't locked? I know I am being a little picky, but this is the ONLY reason I bought it. But I was thinking, put my phone in download mode, flash 4.2 > root > install TWRP > wipe > Flash CM12.1 > and voila! Would that work, and if so, could you help?

Everything I have read indicates that we are stuck at 4.4.2 and can not downgrade. I didn't read the forums before purchasing mine and have not seen anything saying anyone has safely downgraded, or used any rom other than the three I mentioned.
I guess we could wish for Verizon to release a security update because of stagefright issues. I can dream, but I'm not holding my breath.
Okay, guys, I am starting to lose it.
I am having 0 luck fixing this damn thing. I have tried flshing every android version that exists for this phone and it won't work at all. KIES won't recognize so I used ODIN. ODIN never feels like working so IDK what to do. I used Safestrap to try and install CM 12.1, but it was stuck in a boot cycle, and since I had to use the Safestrap app to launch recovery, I am screwed. There is no way for me to get into my phone, I only have download mode, I need some help guys. What can I do!?!?! I just want anything that will work at this point. Even if I can't get CM12. I think I want to get android working on it and sell it. Pls help!!!

If your device was ever on 4.4.2 you may as well give up on the idea of installing CM 12.1, or any ROM other than the three I mentioned. (If you have found something stating differently please share.)
Some of these threads may be of help:
[GUIDE] Debrick your bricked SCH-I535! [BOOTLOADER/HARDBRICK]
[GUIDE][ML1/NC1/NE1] TW 4.4 and 4.3 Sticky Roll-Up Thread (7-10-14)
[INDEX] TW 4.4 Download List (7-10-14)
That last one is a bit dated but still worthwhile. The second is not quite as dated. The first may be what helps you.
So, I need like, a tutorial or a link on how to fix this. I want to fix my recovery as well if that's possible. Just so I can have stock recovery. If I flash Android 4.4.2 it should fix that though. Plus, a working download link would be MUCH appreciated.
Alright. So, I followed the instructions on this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166&nocache=1 and had no luck, when I flash on ODIN, it gets the error when flashing the "aboot". That's when it fails. Any suggestions? I tried deleting it, but 7zip won't let me.

Odin gives an error at that point when you are trying to flash an incompatible bootloader. If you used any rom with a bootloader older than 4.4.2 (NE1) it prevents you from flashing to avoid a bricked device.
Which image did you use from the site you linked?
None of the images from the OP of that thread are for flashing with Odin. They are to burn to an external micro sdcard from which you boot the device and then restore your bootloader, and recovery if necessary.
Please detail the exact steps you performed.
Oh, I flashed an image from something else, my bad on that one. Uh, so I tried putting that thing on my SD card with Win32DiskImager, and every time I do it, after multiple writes and phone boot-ups, I had no luck. It always tells me "Firmware upgrade encountered an error. Please use Software Repair Assistant & try again." So, I don't know what to do. Ad I also wanted to thank you for your speedy replies, I know mine are always delayed, I have finals and stuff, it's hectic. But, I need my phone back already so I'll jump back to reply ASAP! Thanks!

I am not in the least familiar with "Software Repair Assistant." I do know it is a Verizon process. You can give it a try if you wish.
Other than that you are back to the debrick image process. That process can take a number of attempts. You should use either a 16 or 32 GB class 10 card. It sometimes works with a slower card, but best bet is with a class 10. It would be an oddity for something samller than 16 GB to work. Also, you may need to try several cards. A card that works for this in one phone at times does not work in a different SGS3.
Alright, here's what I just did. I needed a new SD Card anyay so I bought a Kingston Digital 16 GB microSDHC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card 30MB/s with Adapter (SDC10/16GB) off of Amazon and it should be here by Thursday. And then, I'll tell you how things go. I am praying this works, because, even though I am getting a HTC One M9 (I'd like your thought on that, if you think it's a good phone to run CM 12.1 off of) I need a phone for now.

A quick check at the VZW development thread for the M9 shows they have root and custom recoveries. A quick glance at a number of the custom ROMs their had all of them based on stock, either saying stock or sense.
Another check at CM shoes development open for the himaul HTC One M9. I don't know which carrier that is for, but it is a GSM device instead of cdma. The AT&T M9 is code named hima so I am not convinced it is theirs.
Otherwise, I don't know much about the M9 outside of what I see in the reviews. Being that my daily driver is still my SGS3, I would think I would be satisfied with the M9 performance.
Well, I am screwed. I tried using my 16GB SD and it didn't work. I did everything right, I don't know what to do. I kinda think flashing something via ODIN would work, but I don't know what to flash. Help?

From what I have read in the debrick threads, you may have to try several cards to find one that works in your phone. Also, it is 16 and 32 Gb class 10/U1 cards that are most likely to work.
So I tried this process with a 64GB Samsung Class 10 SD, and it didn't work. Should I just go with a 32GB or am I going to need a Jtag?

I don't recall seeing anyone report attempting to do this with a 64GB card, not to say it wouldn't work, I just haven't seen anyone saying they tried one.

You may just need a SanDisk version versus the Samsung one. I have ran across threads with people having success with them. Definitely try a 32gb sd card as dawgdoc suggested

Please what's the confirmed rooting method for Samsung galaxy s3 Verizon i-535 running 4.4.2 I tried rooting with towelroot & kingroot, also flashed cwm recovery from rom manager respectively then rebooted to recovery but got black screen with yellow triangle error. I have a friend at the Samsung store in bestbuy that have reflashed the phone twice & is still willing to restore the phone again but I wanna know the working root method for this device without screwing up recovery?
