Can anyone help me find a site with stock roms for lg e739 or the lg mytouch 4g? I need it to flash my phone back to stock. Any help would be greatly appreciatied.
Tsk Tsk Tsk, on you for not backing up your stock.
You could always try the LG Mobile Support Tool
www[DOT]lg[DOT]com/us/support/mobile-devices/phone-support
I havent tried to use this method yet so I'm not 100% sure it puts you back to stock, as it came out of box.
Download and install LG mobile support tool, run LG Mobile Update. Click on Customer Support in the menu, then click recovery. Remember to have your e739 connected via usb.
I did make a backup. It just won't restore. Even tried removing the Android secure file from my backup and got a md5 sum mismatch. Downloaded someone else's backup and it shut my phone off before the restore was complete just like my backup before I removed the Android secure file. Now I'm stuck wit cm7.2. Should I flash cwm before I restore like I did when I installed cm7 the first time?
Sent from my LG-E739 using xda premium
You got the md5 error because you removed something from the nandroid...thus changing the ckecksum.
I would say try flashing that nandroid that you downloaded. Makin sure its named correctly. Without removing any files from it.
Also try to redownload that stock nandroid backup n try again. Btw which one was it?
Did you wipe cache system and data partitions before flashing nandroid?
Do not wipe sd card.thats where nandroid would be.
On my e739 during flashing nandroids Ive had it get stuck at lg logo once or twice. All I did then was use adb reboot-restore...then tried reboot from cwm again...if that didnt work then do adb again to get to recovery and flash nandroid again...dont give up. If you want stock keep trying.
You could flash ur cm again to get working on ur phone again but thats not what you want is it?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
If you cant boot into an android you can use adb to push files to ur sd card...If you dont want to do that then ull have to flash cm n use file manager of choice.

I would offer my e739 stock backup...but i got it from a third party..and it has extra bloat and carrier iq on it. so im keeping it in a safe place.

I don't know how to get adb to work. I downloaded the sdk and jdk but don't know how to set the path. I wiped data, cache, dalvik, and battery stats before I tried to restore. Still running cm7 but upgraded to the RC. It's quite smooth. Scared to try another restore since each time it stops I get a bootloop and have to hard reset to get back into recovery. And Odin doesn't support my lg. :-( any other suggestions?

If you lived close enough I would willingly trade. No lol. Real talk! But have you tried unlock root? Our worked like a charm on my e739.

To get adb working put phone in debugging mode
applications>development>tick debugging mode
Connect via usb..start>run>cmd type: cd c:\androidSDK\platform-tools
press enter
you can now type adb commands
type: adb devices hit enter that will show you connected devices
to get into recovery type: adb reboot recovery
device should now reboot into recovery

Well still not able to get adb for ask to work but on a brighter note, I finally got my phone to restore to stock. Wiped everything 3x's factory/data reset, cache, and dalvik. Then I formatted my system,hit restore, and voila! It went back. Back to cm7.2 RC since TMobile now wants to charge extra to tether. Even tried ICS or cm9 but think I'm gonna wait till there is a more stable version
Sent from my LG-E739 using xda premium
well have you tryed one of many of the apps on the market to unroot it, but i cant help you with the restoring your backup if you cant restore it from cwm without problems because i have a galaxy s gt i9000
I already know how to unroot was having a prob restoring tmobiles software but its all good now!

HI i went to put evil eris 4.0 on my phone and it loaded up just fine except my data wasnt working but thats because i had my phone flashed to metro pcs with the data. Anyways i got the celb froyo zip off xda {latest version} and the gapps and tryed to load the zip but first i did a wipe and tryed to load it but it wont load. It just stay on the boot screen with android on the skateboard .Now when in hboot ,my phone says wrong img and when i try to load another rom in recovery it says no space left on device and it wont load any rom did i screw my self. I have adb setup is there any method for me to start fresh and reroot with a custom rom? thanks alot in advance i think i did somehting else to it but i dont remember
Since your using metro pcs I have no idea how to help or what to suggest, but if you can see the splash screen and bootloader then your not bricked.

It doesn't matter if I revert back to Verizon and that wouldn't matter anyways since the hex esn number is in metros database but I don't care if I revert back to stock or whatever I just want my phone back no hold bar at this point
Sent from my CM6 Aria froyo using XDA App
Not sure if it will help but did see couple threads about Metro here, I would check those. May give you some ideas on how to fix.
Just do a search on metropcs should get at least one hit, not sure if the other had just metro or metropcs
I don't care about metro I just wanna revert back to stock do you think if I can get the stock 2.1 rom and try to flash it would work?

Did you do a full wipe after flashing the Froyo rom and before attempting to flash another rom? Sometimes you need to wipe more than once for the new rom to load properly.
Sent from my Froyo Eris using XDA App
Yes I did a wipe initialy when I loaded evil eris v4.0 and that booted up fine and then I decided I wanted a 2.2 rom so I got the celb rom for the Eris and the gapps and then I rebooted into recovery and did a wipe and uploaded the celb rom and it wouldn't load after. 30mins I said screw it and poped out the battery and booted into recovery and tryed to wipe and reload but it kept saying staus 7 and no space left on device so I don't know what else to do..

Did you do a nandroid backup before you tried the 2.2 rom? If so, boot back to recovery, nand backup/restore and restore your backup.
Also, some roms need you to flash the rom, then the gapps, then boot. If you miss one and boot early, you'll get looped!
Sent from my Cyanogen Froyo using XDA App
Since you still have recovery, you're not bricked. It's just a matter of getting a rom to boot. Was your sd card partitioned for apps2sd while on the 2.1 rom? Also, did you try wiping your rotation sensors and battery stats? If you don't have a nandroid (mentioned above), wipe, wipe, wipe and flash a new 2.1 rom.

Wiping those stats has no real use when changing roms if you're not already having problems. However, I've read other threads where people have been stuck in boot loops or not booting at all and that has helped them. Worse case scenario, if you wipe them and it doesn't fix your problem, it hasn't started any either. How many people actually use battery stats or change sensor settings?
Just trying to help.

eris_evil,
Do you know how to use the adb command line, and you have your PC set up (USB drivers and all) so that it is working?
If so, charge your phone fully (100%), and then:
- plug it in (USB) to the PC
- boot the phone into Amon_RA
- from the command line on the PC, run the following commands:
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb shell umount /system
adb shell mount /data
adb shell umount /data
adb shell mount /cache
adb shell umount /cache
And then report back if you see these commands reporting errors. Do NOT paraphrase - cut and paste the exact text you see into a reply here. I am guessing you will see an error with either /system or /data.

I'm going to try wipe and install another rom but if I wipe everything and install another rom will the boot image be installed with it cause when I'm in hboot it says that its the wrong boot imagine and zip. so maybe I got the wrong rom the second time around after the first rom i uploaded is the celb 2.2 froyo an eris rom?

None of the HTC/VZW OTAs will work unless you have the stock recovery installed. Also, they will bomb out immediately if you have the wrong OS on the phone. Not a chance in h3ll that they will work on a (dev) ROM - the first thing they do is call getprop() to check the currently installed software version.
Nevertheless, the original download links (Google) for all of the Eris OTAs are listed in this XDA post
You can attempt flashing the Leak-V3 PB00IMG.ZIP ROM to your phone using the HBOOT + PB00IMG.ZIP method. Given the state that your phone is in, I'd guess there is about a 50/50 chance you will end up with a brick.
There are other approaches that are much more cautious - but are not guaranteed to work, and would require me to write a novel to describe them.
Basically, you attempt to do everything possible inside the recovery boot before you touch either "system" or "data" further - but you start by getting the 1.49.2000 S-OFF bootloader onto the phone. That requires jcase's "misc" image flashing, plus a HBOOT+(Root ROM)PB00IMG.ZIP install with a Toastcfh "battery pull trick".
That would give you the option to use fastboot mode to flash either Amon_RA or Clockwork to the recovery partition - that can only be done with the S-OFF bootloader
bftb0
You can only load Pb00img.zip from hboot. That's the only one that will work in hboot.
Put that file in your root folder on your sd card and shut your eris off. Hold the volume down button and turn your power on and you should be alright

Ok I thought the worst was over but now my phone is bricked for real it won't turn on or charge, how do you recover a bricked phone. If not do you think that since I bought my eris second hand will htc sill honor the manufacturers warranty if I send it to them plus I already called them and they said the warranty is still good because I haven't tryed to take the phone apart. I never told them I rooted my phone or tryed to put a custom rom on it but nor did they ask either. All I told them was one day I went to use it and it would not work. The only thing is if the phone won't turn on at all will they be able to tell I was messing with it. And if there is an other option to fix it without having to mail it out for three weeks.

You should be fine if u did a nandroid. Just restore and you'll be ok.

Odin.
everyone's happy.
o.m.g nooooooooo DONT ODIN ! just reflash the rom , u deleted the files from system where your system was your phone has no system to boot in too if u reflash a rom through clockwork should work as well as it will reinstall the system , (not that im against odin back to stock but for some people odin might create moree problems that its worth it, like phone-!-pc)
If you don't have a nandroid maybe you could get someone to upload a nandroid of their phone for you. Then you an use that to restore your phone.

Is it possible to flash CWM from rom manager for the Photon and if so which model do you select??
I had the bootstrap on my phone which was from the x2, but I'm not sure if CWM will be the same or if Atrix would be better or if I'm barking up the wrong tree lol.
Basically I flashed a theme and now I have no settings so I can't setup my BT, WiFi, or even install an app on my sd card because I can't change any settings. And I can't flash a new rom/theme without the settings.
EDIT: So I flashed the Atrix recovery from rom manager since a google search said you could and then flash another. Once I did and tried to boot into recovery it said "failed to boot 2"
Do a factory reset through bootstrap. Happened to my buddy last night after applying a theme, he had no settings.
I restored the bootstrap by using titanium backup when I hit that snag last night
Or if you have an backup, you can take the settings app from it and place it in the system apps
LMAO, and why I didn't think of that I have no idea. I've had mybackup pro since I had my Evo over a year ago and use it religiously, until now that is lmao. I just backed it up before I flashed the new theme and didn't even think of that, good looking out guys thanks.
EDIT: Anyone know of another way to flash CWM without using ADB or SDK??
EDIT no. 2: installing from backup didnt work, it prompts me to go to settings because install from unknown sources is blocked and when I try to go to it I get a Force Close.
Is it possible to just put the settings.apk in the right folder with root explorer or something of that naturr?

Why can't you factory reset, and then flash the latest stock build using rsd lite? You should have everything there. Just back your apps up in titanium and restore each one after.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Even doing factory reset using ##786# I couldn't get it to detect in rsdlite using rsd mode on my photon. I found out my rsdlite was an old version and I had a hell of a time finding the newer version (even the links I found on here were broken links) Once I got that I flashed the current sbf, then went about the pudding unlock steps and got it all done.
Hi
I have a galaxy tab 10.1 GT-P7500. I have been messing around a lot with custom ROMs. Now I want to do a proper restore to official ICS. I have the Odin flashable package. When I restore it just using this, my tablet does not want to root again on this stock firmware. I looses root as soon as I flash the root package.
What I want to do is do a complete restore of the tablet. I don't really know much about the bootloaders and so on.
Should I get a PIT file and tick re-partition as well as update phone bootloader?
I have restored an old Nandroid backup and did a factory restore on the tablet but there is something wrong with it. Every now and then the tablet just do a random reboot, but not a complete reboot. The screen goes blank and then back on again. Signal gets lost and everything that I was busy with are gone. I use the Wi-Fi hotspot all the time and every time that this happens I have to turn it back on again.
Anyone who can tell me how to do a proper restore of everything on the tablet?
Boot into cwm or twrp recovery, do a full wipe, not including internal storage, then flash stock ICS again.

Because your important files are there. Unless you don't care about those files or you've backed up in your computer, then you can wipe it. I've seen people wiping their internal memory blindly and then posting "Help, my photos/videos are gone!! Is there any way to recover it???" Which is why I said not to wipe your internal memory.

I can't remeber the error that superuser give out.
I have flashed stock ICS now, but when I try to load the update file which I always used to root it, the stock recovery give an error saying unknown path for sdcard(photo included).
I have formatted all the partitions using CWM before reflashing.
This also happened before I started using my old backup again. Do you know why this will happen? Should I try to repartition the device or something?

After flashing stock ICS, you did make sure that it booted well and let it settle first right? You can't use stock recovery to flash things. Flash cwm recovery first then flash the update zip.

First, check to see if the su binary is in /system/xbin or not. Download terminal emulator, then type su and see if it works. If it says su not found, it means the su binary is not installed. If so, try flashing the SuperSU zip (https://db.tt/18JKy062) and see if it works.

Hello,
I didn't do the system update before rooting the device and perhaps I should have, with the epic, touch, and note2 it was a bad idea to do system updates so I just skipped it. I rooted the phone and flashed TWRP on it without issue using the tools from galaxynote3root.com's. I then made a backup of the rom using TWRP. I then went to flash Galaxy-S-fre3-MD4FirmwareModemAIO.zip through TWRP which I think is what killed it but i'm not 100% certain, I just know it errored out / wouldn't let me flash the zip. I tried restoring from the TWRP with the backup I made, no luck.
I'm now stuck unable to get anything to boot stable, it always shows "Process system isn't responding" and dies shortly thereafter. I can occasionally get to the point where it sees icons but usually it just reboots. I think I might have nuked the modem but I can't seem to find a radio/modem thread for the sprint model and I don't know if the modems from the GSM thread are safe for the Sprint.
I have tried flashing N900PVPUBMI3_N900PSPTBMI3_N900PVPUBMI3_HOME.tar.md5 on it through Odin with the auto reboot on and off without luck.
hmm

Ah forgot to mention that I tried that, no joy. It goes through the caching of apps, sits forever at 'finalizing boot' and then goes into the reboot cycle.
Restore doesn't work and once u do that it borks your file system. Your phone is bricked and using Odin to go back to stock will not work. You can try but u need to get ur phone replaced and hopefully sprint doesn't look at your knox counter if not u got ur self a $700 paperweight
