As title says. Had Villain installed on my Hero, and looking to put stock back onto it, I don't care if this "un-roots" it either. Is this possible?
I've tried downloading the normal RRU and that malarky and it just won't recognise the USB through the HTC client, always comes up with the same error. I read around and saw that a ROOT cannot be used / put on without using a custom rom, so is there any way of getting a stock rom on, or reversing things? I think you guys get the idea of what I'm on about.. cheers!
(p.s. Doing this because I've got a Legend now, and selling my Hero soon..).
Re: Reverting to stock ROM from Villian6?
There is a guide by BTDAG in the development section called something like " Setting up drivers for x86 x64", should be on pg 1, 2 or 3 in Development. Use that to make sure the drivers for HTC Sync are set up correct.

I tried the guide you suggested, downloaded it all and so on.
Did it all a few times just to check I was installing my drivers properly.
Everything reads fine now driver wise, but still comes up with the error when running the RRU and analysing my Hero.
Do I need to install a different, fresh OS of some form as something seems wrong with mine now I've probably screwed with it or...?
Help would be appreciated in any form..

You got the goldcard in the phone? Or is it a USB error?

Goldcard? It says it's a USB error when the prompt comes up.
I had more or less the same problem.
If I'm not wrong, the application "HTC Sync" has to be present on your ROM to make the RUU installation possible.
This application could has been removed from the ROM you're using to save phone memory.
Try to reinstall this "HTC Sync" on your phone and try the RUU again.
And how do you install HTC Sync on your HERO with custom ROM?
I've got the same problem... But I also can't find the RUU for Belgium...
You have to find the apk PCSCII.apk and push it to /system/app of your phone.
Take a look here :
http: //forum. xda-developers. com/showthread.php?t=588351&page=37
Even more simple :
restore the nandroid backup your should have been done before installing the custom ROM your are using, then try to RUU
Funny, i tried goldcard and most of the other guides. But in the end, i found out that it only worked when i flashed the stock rom i wanted to downgrade to, from bootloader.
Then run the RUU setup for the rom you have flashed on the phone..
Worked for me

And then my HTC Sync is installed?
Install the application HTC Sync on your pc,
if this application detect your phone and you see sync icon in the notification bar, the RUU should recognise it as well and you would be able to revert to stock.
Phone: LG P500h - ANDROID v 2.2.1 buildnumber FRG83.
Country: Brazil
Anyway, what I know is that i have to downgrade it to 2.2 in order to be able to root. I've looked through a bunch of tutorials on a bunch of websites but there are a few questions i have about the process that isn't answered anywhere i've looked.
Apparently downgrading requires me to get a stock ROM from LG, there is a topic here for that but it does not have the right ROM for my country, i tried a couple codes but they all got me 404.
Can I just flash any standard ROM from, US maybe, will it work?
And if yes, how do I flash it? Apparently you can do that by booting into recovery mode, but to get there you need it to be rooted which I can't do.
I've read about KDZ and downloaded that but... it crashes a lot in my PC (whenever i try the Read Device) it gives me error and closes the program (windows program not responding dialog).
I'm afraid it might crash in the middle of it if i try flashing and that would brick my device.
Is there a simple way to flash a new ROM? Is that the first thing I have to do in order to get a custom ROM say Ubuntdroid? It says I need a new recovery... but for that I need to downgrade first? It's a lot to do... and I don't really get the order in which I should do it all in...
Can somebody post me a little "do this, then do that, then finally do that" so that I can understand it all finally?
Thanks in advance, and sorry for long post, was trying to be as informative as possible.
This shows what happens when I try reading the phone on KDZ... also a little part showing that I got my device to be recognized by windows...
also disabled the LGE modem on device manager, read that if I don't it'll get bricked.
Well it won't let me link the image so... just paste the name together.

1. Find a suitable v2.2 stock ROM for flashing (link)
2. Use KDZ to flash it (I am not aware of another tool capable of doing that). Try doing that on a PC running Windows XP (important - that's where you're stuck now and I guess you're using Windows 7).
3. Root your phone - search for "z4root" on Market, install it.
4. Install Custom recovery, which will replace your current (stock) recovery mode (link - you may need to create an account on another forum in order to download).
5. Using Custom recovery you can now install any custom ROM and create nandroid backups to restore your phone to a certain (working) state.
You will have to use KDZ again if you ever want to flash a stock ROM, also losing the custom recovery. But you will have no reason to do that, except if you need to take your phone to some warranty repairs.
Good luck!
NEW PROBLEM: About step 1... i finally found a way to get my country's rom, but... it's.. the same thats on my device right now, it says V10a_02 and thats the same on my phone (the kdz read phone tells me that) so... won't I just be flashing the same 2.2.1 again?
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP500H/ABRABK/V10A_02/V10A_02.kdz <---- the rom the topic tells me to get.
How do I know what version of android is in that rom? and if i can't, can you link me to a rom that does?
I found one from another country that the guy said is 2.2... but... will it work if i flash that one? does it HAVE to be for my country? also my model is p500h (the h) is it different from the p500 (different as in flashing p500 without h roms on it will kill it?)
As for flashing it...
I think maybe a computer with win xp will do the trick for kdz.
i've found this post today:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944881
is it better to use that than kdz? theres no replies on topic saying "hey it worked" so i'm a little worried, but apart from a few errors it seems to work on my win 7....
i guess the reply would be "i only know kdz, do it with kdz" but i thought i might ask...
Indeed, I have not tried that method and therefore I can't recommend it. At least KDZ is successfully tested. If you are patient enough to wait for some replies either here or in that topic, you may find out if it works. I would recommend it only if you have no other choice, like if you're unable to try KDZ on an XP machine.
In the mean time, I remembered that a newer version of Custom recovery is available (v1.2) - here. But you still need to download a file and read the tutorial from that other forum I mentioned in the previous post.
what about the first part of the post? i think i might have added that after you replied i don't know... asking about the rom i found if it isn't the same i have on my phone. and asking if i can just add another country's one...

First backup your data, then download a factory ROM, it doesn't matter which version u download, what matters is the version. Make sure that it's 2.2 and not 2.2.1 or 2.2.2. Follow all the below steps without skippin any, no matter how simple or stupid they are.
Link for shipped ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865479
Now download KDZ updater and uncompress it
http://www.4shared.com/file/UleS4dP3/KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.html
Install msxml.msi from the uncompressed directory
Charge your battery to almost full state (I'm not sure, but it can be reason if phone doesn't start)
Turn phone off somehow (remove battery etc.)
Install drivers properly
Get rid of all usb drivers like Nokia, microsoft visual ++ run time environments
Install the LG drivers by selecting the update manager from the lg site
Disable LGE Virtual Modem. In your Windows operating system, go to Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Right click on LGE Virtual Modem and click Disable.
Press and keep pressed "Volume up"+"Return" and connect USB cable to phone
Yellow screen with text emergency mode should appeared
Shake the handset (I know, it sounds ... strange, but it helps for ones, so... why don't try it?) UPDATE: Read some quotes on bottom.
Run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe (Has administrator).
Select Type : 3GQCT (I have one report that CDMA mod works too)
Select PhoneMode : DIAG (in case of fail try EMERGENCY, and as last chance use CS_EMERGENCY)
I Recommend do not switch phone off. There was some people, which done it and after they was not be able to turn it on again. If flashing failed, just select some another mode and try it again, again, try shake/connect disconnect, again, again....
In KDZ file : Choose the ROM file you downloaded in the first step
Press Launch software update
Shake the handset (I know, it sounds ... strange, but it helps for ones, so... why don't try it?) UPDATE: Read some quotes on bottom.
Now Root it via Z4root - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
Then install custom recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844483
Then download n flash any ROM of your choice, I wud sugget install Void or LOL.
Edit :- By the time I replied, many have already replied. Anyways you can check my reply too :-D
Mithun.
"it doesn't matter which version u download, what matters is the version."
does that mean it doesn't matter what country or operator the rom is for, as long as it is android version 2.2?
i have one from portugal (not my country) and that one is made for P500 mine is P500H... if that makes a difference i don't know, but i do know that rom is android 2.2. can i flash that one?
i also have one that i got from that topic following the instructions of putting my serial number, it linked me to a rom V10A_02... on KDZ when i try to read my device it says i have V10A_02 too. isn't that the same one i have now? with android 2.2.1? if it is it's very pointless to flash the same rom already in it.
any way to check?
because that is my last doubt ;p

As far as my knowledge goes, the LG P500h you have is the same phone as the P500, only branded for Telus. The hardware should be identical, therefore you may use any ROM designed for the P500 family.
The only thing you may miss if you install a ROM not customized for a Brasil (or South America) network operator is the internet acces point name, thus rendering your phone unable to acces the internet trough its data service connection, but only trough WiFi. Nevertheless, the phone's APN can be configured manually, all you need are the correct settings from your mobile operator and you're good to go.
Ok since you guys told me i can go ahead and flash any country ROM i just did and now my device burst into flames and then the flames consumed my apartment.
ok, not. it worked too well actually, i did the kdz procedure on my win 7 anyway, despite the errors when reading device info, and it took like, 1 minute, rebooted, took like 2 minutes on the android screen then it came back, with all my data still there... i thought it didn't do anything but... its now version 2.2
i tried z4root, worked ... got the superuser app and.... i'm happy ^^ thaaaanks!
anyway about the custom recovery thing..
i'm going to install the one in that post you gave me...
but i read something about the best one being clockwork something...
shouldn't i go ahead and install that one?
or can i do everything i need with this one you guys linked?

Glad that it worked Install the Amon_RA's recovery!!! Many ROM's for OO won't support clock work I suppose. Amon RA's recovery is neat, I've been using that from the time I had an HTC tattoo.

You can do anything you need with ThunderG. Now that version 1.2 supports backup and restore of ext4 partitons (a feature you don't need if you don't plan on installing a custom ROM... but you will, eventually ), it is complete.
Moreover, in ClockworkMod's first topic says: "This recovery will not allow you to flash every ZIP file". ThunderG does, if you choose to allow flashing of unsigned zip files. Sometimes this is useful.
Peeeeeerfect
Recovery installed, LOL ROM installed, all fast smooth and error-free.
no more screen touch lag, it's soooooo much faster now, overclocked, i have yet to test my emulators but i can only guess they're gonna be at least 150% better lol.
thank you all very much for taking the time to help me ^^
ONE LAST QUESTION: I PLAN ON BUYING A NEW SD CARD, JUST PLUG IT IN AND IT'LL FORMAT THEN CREATE THE NEEDED FILES THEN I INSTALL STUFF BACK ON IT, SIMPLE AS THAT?
Simple as that =D
Although there are some criteria with the sd card or you'll get unmounting problems.
Use a class 4 or higher card
format with fat32
I've never officially tried this method but its apparently supposed to help
allocation unit size: 64kb when you're formatting

Hello everyone,
I wanted to take some time today to make a very clear and concise guide on how to complete the root process for the EVO3D. I understand that there is at least one other floating around at this point. If you don't have a firm grasp of how all of this works though, you may run into problems or have questions. I commissioned my guide to try and add clarity to the process and to also teach our communities newest members some of the ins and outs of modding our phones. The guide is far too large to post in a thread, therefore I've created a PDF of it and am offering it for download.
Feel free to mirror my guide and provide me with the link so that I can add it below.
Below is a Preface and Contents of the Guide. Feel free to ask questions or address any concerns you may have as I will be revising the guide.
The Complete Guide to Obtain S-OFF, Flash Recovery, and Install ROOT for the EVO3D
Authored by: sidepart of the
XDA-Developers Forum
Revision 1.1 - Published July 30, 2011
Preface
Prior to reading this document, please be aware that as a disclaimer, I am not responsible for anything that goes wrong in this guide. Some people will run into issues that others do not. This is especially true with the differing versions of the Android-SDK. Some advanced users are using an older version which uses different commands than are offered by the latest Android-SDK. I encourage you to ask questions and keep an open mind. Try to understand the commands that are given here, and how you might have to be flexible in changing them to work for your situation. If at any time you are not comfortable with this process I highly recommend seeking out assistance from a more knowledgeable friend.
What this Guide Assumes
I assume that you will be downloading the latest version of the Android SDK which at the time of this document’s creation is R12. I also assume that you are using Windows 7, but this translates very easily into Windows Vista or XP.
Disclaimer
I am not responsible for any problems or fatal errors that may or may not occur through the process of performing the instructions of this guide. If at any time you are not comfortable with this process I highly recommend seeking out assistance from a more knowledgeable friend.

Kind of hilarious to see my access.log right now. Lots of people looking at the guide interspersed with a few people discovering my site's index.html.
Used your guide and almost worked flawlessly The only problem I had was flashing the TeamWin recovery with the following command: ..\tools\fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery-twrp-shooter-1.0.0.img
The img that I downloaded through the site was like 1.0.1, but the error was on my end. Otherwise awesome guide!
So much info!!! love it.. nice

I actually tried to load the zip from http://goo-inside.me/superuser and it wouldn't work. Retried it quite a few times and got the same error. I found an unsigned version of it in clark44's guide and that one worked just fine. Not sure what the problem was, hence my recommendation to grab superuser from the market and follow it's instructions instead. Seems to be working out well.
I think I might add something about this to the guide if too many people are running into the problem.
Any problems with not being able to send/recieve calls/texts with this? Haven't really messed around too much with the girlfriend's phone b/c she's terrified of not being able to get calls and what not..
I know this is a beta setup for now, so i'm assuming it'll turn into a simple one click type of thing when it gets to that point..?
Edit: I went through all this on my phone and had no problems really except having to call Sprint ..
Followed the guide as instructed...revolution wont recognize my device...it just hangs on waiting for device. I double checked to ensure usb debugging was enabled but it just hangs there.. Again i did follow the guide from step 1 and this is where im at...any suggestions?

I would take a look at the documentation for the Revolution EXE, it could shed some more light on the situation that you're experiencing. Off hand though, I do have some recommendations.
Do you have HTC sync installed? I was reading around and found that this was causing an issue with the revolution program. Try removing that first.
If that's not the case and this still isn't working, there could be a driver conflict with some previously installed android drivers on your system. To clear that up, I would recommend grabbing the latest HTC drivers mentioned in the Revolution documentation. This is the most recent link that I've found: http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
The process may require you to manually remove the old drivers and manually install the new ones. If you're not certain of how to do this, it's beyond the help of my guide. I would encourage you to look up the process online or ask a friend to show you.
Hope this helps!

The only related issue that I've come across is the "Error 16" when provisioning the phone after s-off. As you found, this usually fixed with a call to Sprint. I'll never say, "never" though. Be aware that making modifications to the phone always carries with it an inherent risk, however small or unlikely. The risk of course is part of what makes it fun, but girlfriends (mine) seem to seldom understand this.
If the root method is ever released, there is potential for it to become more of a one-click procedure, but I don't think there's a guarantee of course.
Thanks for the guide!
I'm stuck though!
The Revolutionary Command Window says:
"Waiting for fastboot..."
And my phone rebooted into the HBOOT screen but it shows: S-ON
What should I do?
Is this in your guide?
1. Install drivers: http://www.multiupload.com/2OFYWZFCCR
2. Put phone in full boot, usb debugging on , charge only.
3. Uninstall HTC Sync if installed.
4. Profit.

So, I'm following the guide word-for-word from steps 0 - 8 and now I'm up to the part where it says to "When done, REMOVE USB CABLE AND POWER OFF THE PHONE."
Okay, now question:
[Q]1: For step 9a and 9b. When do I actually perform these steps:
So, currently my USB cable is removed and the L9 is power off from the above step in STEP8.
9A. says to Add lines in "hosts" file as mentioned in step 1 of this post.
So, I'm going to assume that I add the Hex-Edited BIN file and related KDZ file that I've downloaded in STEP1.
But where do I add said lines to?
[Q]2: okay so for step 9b. Start "SmallServer" as mentioned in step 2 of same post.
Where is this "SmallServer?"
In step 2 of the same post, I've already Downloaded Root_and_Flash_Guide_byCMahendra(date).zip file (attached with this post) and extract in your C-Drive.
and gotten three folders named "C:\RootLelus" and "C:\RootFlash" and "C:\shttps"
[Q]3. Okay, now that I'm just advance reading to STEP10 that asks to follow Steps 3-10. Does that mean now I have to reconnect my phone back to the PC from STEP8 and go through the steps 3-10 again, since I've already gone through it the first time around.
[Q]4. the Actual Magic.
So, which LG UPDATE TOOL is the step 11 referring to? Is this when I'm installing the driver to my PC in Step 3? Or is said LG UPDATE TOOL sometime during step 4-8?
Sorry, for all the confusing NEWBIE questions. I'm just trying to follow all the steps without bricking my new phone.
Thank you in advance for your patience and assistance.

OMGaawwdd, I'm such an idiot, I totally didn't click on that link. Thank you very much.
No problem!
OKay, sorry... another question.
So, I'm now flashing with the PHONE UPDATE TOOL and after going through all the steps and the 'MAGIC' swap. My phone reboots and when it turns on I get an error message:
[Driver Software Installatior
Device driver software was not successfully installed
Please consult with your device manufacturer for assistance getting this device installed.
OMAP4430 Device unplugged]
Please let me know what I did wrong and at which point in the process do I need to repeat all the steps again to root my phone.
Do I go back and use the [GUIDE] FLASH L9 Factory ICS/JB ROM WITH OFFLINE FIX + UNBRICK
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36351786&postcount=1
And start with STEP7 and rerun the PHONE UPDATE TOOL and MAGIC swap?
Thanks in advance.
Hmm I remember getting a driver installation error when trying to put the phone into 'software upgrade mode'. In my case, I held the 'volume up' button down and plugged the USB cable into the phone. Then I got the error notification that the OMAP driver didn't install. Yet right after this, another set of drivers installed (I'm guessing the computer took a minute to recognize the different mode of the phone?). These new set of drivers installed successfully and I was able to root with no problems.
tl;dr I disregarded the OMAP error, and rooted just fine with no problems
Have you checked if you got root after flashing? If you do have root, then you should be fine.

Protomartyr,
Ohhh..so that error message isn't the cause of my phone not being able to successfully root, huh? No, my phone still isn't rooted. Basically when my L9 is successfully rooted is when all default icons on my phone are gone right?
So, a couple new questions then.
[Q]1: Okay, I know when it's time to flash you have to hold down the volume button and then plug in the USB cable into the phone. How long do you hold the volume button down? I hold the button down until the phone turns out with the S/W flashing message and then I let go. Do, I need to hold down the button throughout the whole flashing process?
[Q]2: How can you tell if the phone is rooted? Does it look different?
I'm guessing my phone is still haven't been rooted and I'm only getting this error message.
[Driver Software Installatior
Device driver software was not successfully installed
Please consult with your device manufacturer for assistance getting this device installed.
OMAP4430 Device unplugged]
So, if the above error message isn't the cause of my failed rooting. At which step do I go back and reattempt to root my phone?
Do I go back and use the [GUIDE] FLASH L9 Factory ICS/JB ROM WITH OFFLINE FIX + UNBRICK

You wouldn't see a difference once you rooted right off the bat. You should see the SuperSU app in your apps list if you followed the procedure. However, having the SuperSU app doesn't mean you are rooted (SuperSU binaries must be installed as well and this requires super user privileges).
To check if you have rooted successfully, the best way is to just download 'Root Checker' here (Click Me for Link)
Once you install Root Checker and open it, you should see a notification asking for Root Checker to get super user privileges. Accept the notification and you should see 'Root successful' or something along those lines.
Let me know if Root Checker says 'successful' or not, and maybe we can troubleshoot after that?

Hey Protomartyr,
Cool, my phone installed SuperSU in my apps menu and Root Checker says my phone has been rooted. Now I just need a guide or info on how to remove the bloatware and what I can do with my rooted phone. Thanks for all your assistance and guidance.

No problem. Congrats on getting root :highfive:
As far as removing bloatware safely is concerned, you might have to ask someone else (I'm still a newbie at these things). You can remove/disable them using Titanium Backup (from the app store). Proceed with caution though, as you don't want to remove an app that the phone needs to function. From what I hear, it's safer to just disable unneeded apps (though even then you must tread carefully). Titanium Backup is also useful for backing up all your apps/system apps/user data.
As far as what you can do with root...well that's like asking how many drops of water are in the ocean You can fully customize your phone and even install a new ROM; just naming a few. You can get a better picture of what people are doing with their phones in this thread [Click Me] as well as the other LG L9 threads.
Enjoy!

According to your screenshot, you have the P769 running firmware 10g
You can root this device using the method described in this thread.
Thanks again for everything Protomartyr,
You've been really helpful. Okay, another question. So, now that I've rooted my phone. Do I now go back and turn on the Lookout Security Antivirus, that I've had to turn off during the rooting process steps? Or would I need to allows need to leave it off to keep my root active?

You can re-enable Lookout after you root.

Do you believe that this will be the only rooting method released?

Could you point out exactly where it said this? I re-read the thread and couldn't find it.
[SUMMARY] - If you're bored or find this kind of thing funny you could read this post from the bottom up and watch a noob go from freaking out, to learning how to troubleshoot then finally resolving his issue... all of this just by reading the FAQ thread and following some advice found there. I've learned my lesson... read XDA *before* trying to flash a new ROM.
[SOLVED] - Solution was to flash the boot.img from stock ROM. Once I did that the phone rebooted and went into the typical device setup. Now I guess I can update my ROM.
[FIRST UPDATE]
Turns out a lot of exactly what I was looking for is on the FAQ page (first bullet in Q15, no less). Trying what I found there. Please don't blast me with, Maybe you should have read the FAQ... I've been all over the place trying to find something that would work quickly... I only have one phone and I commute into Philly for work so I need a working phone... Now that I've found the XDA HTC ONE X + FAQ, I think I'll be fine. Thanks for the great site... so much info on here to read... good for long train rides.
[ORIGINAL POST]
Hi, I ran into a problem trying to flash CM to my HOX+ (AT&T). I followed the instructions here (wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_enrc2b), but that was for the International version, not the AT&T... Dumb? Guess so, I don't know much about the difference, but it's what happened. I've tried to connect to the phone (per the instructions on the wiki) to adb push the ROM I want to flash, but I keep getting the device not found error. The instructions warn of possible driver error on the PC, but I haven't found a driver yet that will allow me to connect. I can get into recovery (CWM-based Recovery v6.0.2.7) but with no ROM on the sdcard I have nothing to flash and can't figure out how to get the file onto the device. The wiki should probably mention putting the ROM on the device prior to going through the HTC unlock steps, just in case, but maybe they assume a more cautious user than I am. I've tried to flash from sideload, but don't know if that is even possible?
Can someone point me in the right direction, or start asking questions to help me figure out what my next step is? Just want to get back to a working phone...
Thanks!
