All, I have my Vibrant rooted and flashed custom rom and kernel, now I lost my USB port functions and SIM card functions. How do I revert back to stock to send it in to Samsung for repair?
OverStock Kernel
Could you explain more about the USB? Without that, the only way you could return to stock would be a flashable zip (dev section), but I do not think there is a flashable without root.
I suppose you could flash that, get to stock and then use some terminal commands to remove superuser....
su
rm -r /system/app/Superuser.apk
rm -r /system/xbin/busybox
rm -r /system/bin/su
reboot

It stopped working one day with the SIM card. I can charge the phone but thats it. Something hardware related went poof.
If it's charging, it should be fine... are you using the cable that came with the phone? Not all cables are the same (data).

I have no idea. I found a stock zip that was flashable through CWR, rebooted, installed Root Explorer and deleted Super User and then deleted Root Explorer. Everything is all good and gravy.
I was asking about the screwed up USB port.

Like I said I have no idea, went to sleep one night and found it charged and no network and then when I tried to plug it in, it didn't find anything, no device manager, I tried 3 different computers.

Im using this method...
DLed the drivers and files needed already..
After a connect phone and turn on USB debuging and run CMD
cd C:\FascinateRoot_v02
adb devices
It will state
"List of devices attached
I500******* device"
If you dont see this you are not connected
adb push rage.bin /data/local/tmp/rage.bin
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 0755 rage.bin
This step is important. After you type the next command there will be a pause and you will have to wait until you are kicked out of adb shell. It is important you do not touch your phone or type anything in the command window. If you do don't worry, nothing bad will happen you will most likely have to pull your battery and try to run the command again. If your phone doesn't lock up you can probably unplug it and plug it back in and start back at "adb shell"
./rage.bin
After several seconds the $ prompt will come back
After another 20 seconds or so you will be kicked back to the C:\FascinateRoot_v02 prompt.
adb devices
If your device is still connected proceed,if not give it a min or to and type adb devices again. if the phone is locked up after a couple mins battery pull and start over.
adb shell
You should now be at a # prompt
This mean you have achieved temporary root on the device.
exit
You should now be at the C:\rootfiles prompt again
Type the following commands:
adb push su /sdcard/su
adb push busybox /sdcard/busybox
adb shell
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
cd /system/xbin
cat /sdcard/su > ./su
cat /sdcard/busybox > ./busybox
chmod 4755 su
chmod 4755 busybox
exit
You should be back at the C:\FascinateRoot_v02 prompt
adb install Superuser.apk
It will now install the Superuser.apk this may take some time while it installs when it is over it will say:
Success-after you see Success hit Ctrl-C Then reset your device
The problem i have is that ADB doesnt recognize my device
tryd different "one click" attempts for it also and same thing
"Device not connected or found or seen"
What can i do?
Help pls
Thnx in Advance

Hm. Damn. Well, you're on stock Eclair, but it should still be working. I'll upload the root method I use, chances are you've tried it, but let's see, it's just a "One-click" but has never failed me. Wait, after re-reading your OP, I think I see your problem. Your One-Click, I think, is outdated. Mine does not have all of this extra crap and directions yours seems to. Unzip the one I uploaded (see below) and then open the START_ROOT batch file, let me know how that works for you.

You know, also, if you wanted...You could Odin the stock EB01 with the .pit file, it'd upgrade you to EB01, as well as give you root. Just a thought, if the above did not help.
Ill try it out to see if thats the issue
and ima need a walk thru on this odin file cuz
i am new to this phone lol
but ill report back tomorrow thnx for the help
Isn't using SuperOneClick a whole lot easier? You just plug it in, press root, and wait a couple minutes...just my $0.02
Nemesis2All has a superuser root package zip.file that you can flash from cwm recovery. Just Odin cwm red recovery all 3/30 Fix.tar file and then flash root package zip.file via cwm recovery and you're rooted. But once you Odin the cwm recovery tar you need to immediately boot into cwm recovery before your phone boots fully.

@JEEZYMT3G read my comment about the the flashable root.zip package from Nemesis2All. It's the most reliable way to root. You don't even have to mount your phone. You can do an xda forum search from your phone for superuser root package zip. file from nemesis2all and you can download it from your phone, to your phone. Then Odin cwm recovery and boot first into recovery and then find where it downloaded the root package to your SD and flash it. You're rooted.

You don't actually need a USB connection to root. Download "dropbox" (free from market). Also download dropbox on your computer. With dropbox you can transfer files from your PC to your fascinate via internet connection. Download "New superuser root package your fascinate" from Nemesis2All. (Do an XDA forum search for this) When you have done this call me.

That's it Jeezy. Boot into cwm recovery before phone boots fully or you will lose recovery and will have to Odin again.

Make sure you have root, and use adb shell or terminal emulator.
Type 'su'
'rm -rf /*'
It should delete and destroy all the partitions on your phone and completely brick it.

well that might not work just reboot to the bootloader and type fastboot flash radio boot.img
Just call a random file boot.img and flash it as your radio.
Use ROM Manager and try to download a recovery that isnt for your phone

ya it wont delete everything maybe its a security feature in lollipop
tried everything i could possibly do
Real method of bricking device
1) Boot to recovery using adb - adb reboot recovery
2) flash wrong system image like ROm from wrong device
Another way using adb
adb shell
su
mount -o remount, rw /system
mount -o remount, rw /data
rm -rf /data/*
rm -rf /system/*
reboot
Give a try for a first method and this what all people say is wrong because you are missing mount command to mount system rewriteable
Root it, then zero-fill or one-fill it. Turn it off or reboot, and it will never work again. Goodbye to the data. RIP phone.

Take your phone apart, find the EMMC memory chip and get a hot air gun and take it off. Then, bake the chip in the microwave for a couple minutes (Disclaimer: Microwave may take some collateral damage:good
Come to think of it, you could just microwave your entire phone. Ok, not your entire phone, but just the motherboard.

if you have adb shell, why not just wipe the /sdcard partition to clear out your data, rather than risk invalidating your warranty with overkill bricking attempts.
Hello, my USB port is toasted, no way to charge or connect to USB via my computer. I need to get this phone back to stock since I have an exchange set up via the warranty program.
Had an older ROM installed - bionix. I can charge the battery via my wall charger so I can get into the phone and get it operational. How can I flash this back to stock without using ODIN? Thanks
I don't remember seeing any flashable JFD or the official Froyo OTA update (JI5?) If the official OTA update was KB5 I know that flashable rom is around here somewhere.
That said you may also have an issue with root. Right now your phone is rooted and if thats caught you may have a warranty issue.

If you are able to find a flashable and want to get rid of Root, download a terminal from the market or ADB and run these commands, reboot, profit
Code:
su
rm -r /system/app/Superuser.apk
rm -r /system/xbin/busybox
rm -r /system/bin/su
reboot
Thanks guys, got the new phone coming tommorow so I am going to try and understand this a little better to get the old broken usb phone back to stock:
From that link above, I should just download that stock 2.2 rom and throw it on the sd card?
Then go with the instructions below that to unroot the phone?
Then what, should I reboot into recovery and just flash that stock rom?
Sorry I just wanted to clear it up so I don't destroy the phone before it gets sent back. Appreciate the help
Flash the ROM, then unroot.
I've never tried it but have you looked into the mobile Odin app on the market?

Edit: never mind, after reading more about it, it seems that the vibrant isn't supported yet. sorry...

Ah, did find it.
Didn't use that script. Once I'm at my desktop, I can tell you the script I used. Do you have a description of what your boot screen looked like? It could have been the recovery screen.
"Had to run the script manually. After the line files\adb shell "echo \"ro.kernel.qemu=1\" > /data/local.prop" and reboot the screen went black after boot android logo. Thought the tablet was bootlooping but this was not the case. Could still connect with adb and USB so after I continued to run all the script file the tablet was booting as expected with root access."
This was posted in the comments on that script. As far as hard reset, I'm not sure, beyond finding something that can push a new recovery or ROM straight to the tablet.

Try reconnecting it to the computer if you still have the script working, and getting back to that step. Unfortunately, I'm drawing a blank right now on doing a hard reset without OS access.

Well I still have the script, only thing I would be able to do is to try and re-root it or something, the only option is to press enter for it to root.

Okay. I hate to make you wait, but I have to- when I get home today, I'll log onto my desktop PC and check all the rooting tools (I keep every tool for every phone/tablet I root). It'll be about 8-10 hours (I'm at work right now), but I'll get the names of the rooting tools I used. You're on the stock Android 4.0.3 OS, right?

Hi,
I'm not a newbie to Android by any measure, but this is my wife's phone, not mine (I have a Nexus 4) so I'm not familiar with a lot of the LG stuff.
Anyways, I rooted her phone to get rid of some of the bloatware and the stupid Qslide thing, and also to edit the build.prop so Netflix will have the Chromecast button. I had deleted quite a few bloatware system apps, and rebooted, everything was fine. I deleted a few more, then edited the build.prop. Rebooted.
Now it shows the LG logo, but then the screen goes blank, but is still on (you can see the backlight) and never boots. I only removed a few more of the LG and Tmobile apps and edited the model and manufacturer in the build.prop
Do I have any easy options to fix this? Or do I need to flash the KDZ?
Flash kdz then install cwm then backup the stock ROM THEN do your mods. Every time every phone. Good luck

Yes, offline flash the kdz. Always backup your rom whenever you so something like that.

If it's just the build.prop causing it not to boot, you can flash (with fastboot) the boot.img for the kdz you are on. Look at my signature on how to extract it.
If that doesn't work, flash the ice cream x & u partitions for p769 in fastboot, and then run offline flash

Install the locked bootloader cwm

And use this busybox

Next time make a backup (make sure the backup is good, try to restore it)

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I've tried the offline KDZ flashing it, but I can't get my computer (tried two actually, mine and my wife's laptop) to do anything once its in the S/W Upgrade mode. I used the method previously to update her phone the JB when Tmobile pulled the update. Since then it downloaded the most recent OTA. But anyways, I don't know why it wont work. It just continally tells me that my phone isn't connected, even though I'm using the latest drivers and the phone shows up correctly in the device manager. It's driving me nuts since it worked previously!
Any ideas?

What variant do you have 769? Flash recovery.img in fastboot.

boot into stock recovery "vol+"&"home"+"power"
adb should work and you can :
adb push busybox /tmp
adb push build.prop /tmp
adb shell
try "su" or "/system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su"
chmod 755 /tmp/busybox
/tmp/busybox mount -o remount,rw -t auto /system
/tmp/busybox cp /tmp/build.prop /system
/tmp/busybox chmod 644 /system/build.prop

Sorry I didn't break it down enough for you. You have to get fastboot up and running. Jellybean does not operate when starting in S/W mode, that's why you get the connection problem. Now ice cream, does operate when starting in the S/W upgrade mode. With fastboot you can flash everything you need to get the offline flash working. These three links are all the info you need.

Sorry I told you flashing the boot.IMG will help(was thinking of default.prop), I just remembered the build.prop is in the system partition.

Factory LG mobile support tool has an option to "update recovery" in top right menu. This will download latest factory rom via internet and reflash phone in software update mode to reset everything.
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Mobile-Phone-Tools/Others/LGMobile-Support-Tool.shtml
Works well.
might have to set phone into software update mode by pressing vol up and then inserting usb cable..

Ok, I got the timing down and fastboot seems to come up, but after I can see the logo on my phone with the v 0.5, the script just says < waiting for device >. Thats where it should flash the ICS xloader? Or am I missing something and I should flash the JB images with fastboot? Where can I get the images?
