Short version:
Flash recovery for the version you want to install using FastBoot
Place the file for that version in the root of your SD card and rename update.pkg
Boot into recovery mode
select option 2
This installs a stock ROM and wipes your phone as if you had done a factory reset.

Hello,
I got my LG Optimus V on February 12,about a week or two later i decided to root it,i use the method explained here: forum(Dot)androidcentral(Dot)com/optimus-v-rooting-roms-hacks/57485-how-root-lg-optimus-v(Dot)html
everything went perfect,all the root required apps worked flawless,anyways, i installed a custom boot which replaced the default "ANDROID" logo right after the virgin mobile screen,for about 2 months everything worked perfect,last night i decided to edit some things with the build property editor on the absolute system tools app Here: appbrain(Dot)com/app/absolute-system-root-tools/com.canvs2321.absolute.system[/url]
the only things i edited were the things that said "VirginMobile/Virgin Mobile" and switched that to "JGar"and the version from "2.2.1" to X
I decided to save the customization and rebooted,it loaded the lg logo,the virgin mobile logo,and then the custom boot,instead of working like always,it just freezes a couple of seconds right before the lock screen is supposed to come up
i am still able to boot into the (Volume+,Home,Power)recovery menu so i factory reset it,that didnt work,it still freezes at the last boot before lockscreen
can anybody help me?
Im a noob at this and sorry if im not supposed to add links
If it helps,i have another LG Optimus V which is full stock,no root,fully functional if i need to copy some files from it.
Thank you
recovery factory reset = deleting everything from your phone.
You need to reinstall a rom and start over. If you made a back up, reload that. Otherwise you are sol.
Well,i have what is supposedly the stock rom,a recovery image file,and a flash image file,all i dont know is how to load them onto the phone,is there a program or guide that helps me?
last thing is that when i rooted it,i never installed a custom recovery menu,just the android system recovery<3e> menu with 4 options,reboot now,apply sdcard:Update.zip,Wipe data/factory reset,and wipe cache partition
The easiest thing you can do if you just want to get back to stock is download the stock rom from the development thread. Rename it to update.zip. Place it on the micro sd card, and use the recovery to flash it. But all of your settings, apps, and what not are all gone for good since you did a wipe.
Ok, i have the stock rom now,my phone says that it needs a signature or something,is there a way that i can bypass that? I dont really care about the apps,just as long as i fix my phone,im all good to go.
In the custom recovery, instead of the install update.zip option, use the install zip from sdcard option. Then before you select the zip file, hit the option to disable signature verification. Then go ahead and install.
I dont have a custom recovery menu,the only thing custom i have on it is the droid x boot,which worked perfectly fine,is there a way to install the custom recovery menu? because i turn it on,lg boot,virgin mobile boot,droid x boot then crash
The easiest thing you can do at this point is install a custom recovery so that you an install a working copy of the stock rom. Follow this guide: http://forum.androidcentral.com/opt...ks/73168-how-install-roms-your-new-phone.html
Use the first recovery listed on that page. It should work. Once you have the stock rom loaded, you won't even notice the recovery, but you'll be able to backup and restore your phone if you ever break it again.
Hello, I need some help trying to install the 1.9 ROM. I just purchased a Dell streak coming from an Iphone. Because of a deteriorating eye condition the big screen is a blessing. I bought it used on ebay. It originally had stock 1.6 which i upgraded to stock 2.2 (340) by downloading and running the pkg file. It was very easy to do. Im an att customer this is the relevant information regarding my version of 2.2 .
Version 2.2
Baseband GAUSB1A134031-US
Kernel 2.6.32.9
Build 14844
I have read through these forums extensively particularly the "how to" forums for days. After reading all the various variations for upgrading the rom (my phone lags and i want to see if the rom upgrade will fix this) I developed what I though was the proper procedure for installing 1.9. These are the steps i followed:
1. Install Android Drivers
2. Enter Fastboot mode
3. Installed Clockword Mod Recvery
4. Loaded the install txt file and 1.9 zip file on root of sd card.
5. Flashed the Clockword Mode Recovery IMG using fastboot. Fastboot said recovery was "done"
6. Rebooted.
7. Went into recovery mode by pressing Volume UP and Down and power button
8. Chose option 2 upgrade from SD card.
now its my understanding that doing so was supposed to take me to the clockmod recovery screen which would then give me the option of upgrading from the zip file. Instead I get a message in light blue which says in part
"Android System recovery utility GAUSb1a134031
To perform emergency software recovery you will need to insert SD card"
I then pull the battery and reboot and it boots up fine into the stock 2.2.
Now the question is what am i doing wrong. Im thinking that maybe its the baseband? and that I need to flash a new baseband. If anyone can help it with some guidance it would be much appreciated.

Once you flash Clockwork you cannot let it boot. The OS will over-rite Clockwork. As soon as you flash Clockwork, hold both volume buttons down while it is rebooting. Selet option 2 and you should get the Clockwork menu.
Thank you i will give that a try
Didnt work. I do the fastboot recovery flash which it indicates is done. I then give the flashboot reboot command As soon as it starts rebooting i hit the volume up and down and power buttons but it still reboots into stock 2.2. I don't even get the recovery screen
Fuigured it out i only needed tto hold the volume buttons. Now im there thanks again
Hmm, you should be getting a recovery menu either way. The only thing I can think of is to try and hold both volume and power buttons down at the same time. This is how I normally access the recovery menu when not flashing the reboot comand. If thats not it, may be an issue with the recovery image. Have you considered StreakMod Recovery?

Ok, Cool!
Hi I have tried flashing my S2 but have run into an issue.
So i installed clockworkmod recovery 4.0.1.4 with the intention of installing cyanogen mod.
I then rooted the device using S2 root which said it was successful.
This was confirmed when i then installed and rom manager premium.
I downloaded Cyan from within rom manager and proceeded to install.
I selected to wipe data and dalivk.
The phone rebooted but hung for a long time on the white 3d triangle with an orange exclamation mark.
It then went into the clockworkmod recovery and I rebooted presuming everything was done.
Then my phone started as normal but went into the original rom but there was no app's, icons ect. I rebooted and app's icons were back.
So I rebooted into recovery mode again and tried to update from sdcard. no difference. So i read that wiping data/factory reset might help but now all i get is the boot loop between my carrier startup and the standard S2 startup.
I can still get into recovery and download mode but when i enter download mode I cannot see the phone in odin.
I have also tried putting the update.zip on my sd card manually from a PC download and use recovery mode to install it but thats not installing it either.
Any ideas or is my phone fubar?
All your questions answered and more in the dedicated thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176411
Hi thanks for the reply, i wish i had found that thread before attempting this.
I have managed to get odin seeing the phone now so its looking good.
problem i have is i need these:
XWKJ1:
Firmware info: PDA: XWKJ1| Phone: XXKI4 CSC:O2UKJ1
XWKJ1 Stock Kernel:
Password is: [email protected]
but multiupload was part of megaupload i believe so everything is gone.
Do you know where else i can find these.
Not sure why you'd want it, but

Thanks its just a learning curve, i will put cyan on again properly but want to learn as i go on how to do it right first time.
to try the nvflash it.
I was trying to go from 1.1 to 1.2 and apparently did something wrong along the way. Now when I turn it on, I get the 3 birds screen, followed by G-Tabdevs screen, then Vegan-Tab until it goes black. I do have clockwork mod installed on it. Is there a way to install recovery files directly on a micro SD card and fix it that way back to stock ROM?
Please help! I've been reading forums all day trying to figure out how to fix it and am not having any luck!
Appreciate any suggestions!!!

When changing to a custom ROM from the Stock ROM you will need CWM installed so that before installing the custom ROM you can wipe data factory reset which the Stock recovery doesn't have that option. Vegan-Tab also has versions that are also compatible with BL 1.1 as well as 1.2. Make sure that you load up the right one. To fix your issue you will need to install CWM recovery through NVflashing just that in. Using the information on this link should get you that added onto your device and then you can just boot into that and wipe data factory reset then reboot back into the System and be good. Here is that link [RECOVERY - 1.2] ClockworkMod 5.5.0.4 Touch Recovery

is there any link to root this tablet. kind da noob sorry
Why would you want to root just the stock? You don't really need to go through all that mess as long as you understand the NVflash process. NVflash will apply CW recovery with stock allowing you to install the custom ROM that is in that is based on that bootloader. There use to be a site called NVflash for dummies, but I believe that the operator shut it down or sold it. When I get some time I will try to post in the General forum the different NVflash collections and host the links. Even send a message to the administration to sticky it for everyone.

This worked for me.
Took out battery for about 5 minutes, insert batt, Hold vol up + power to get into download mode. Use a $5 jig from ebay/amazon if you want to force download mode. This phone is almost impossible to brick. Only physical damage can brick.Since this is an old phone the issue for recovering from a soft brick is really non availability of required files.
When you have a soft brick like this ..ie., stuck in 3e recovery. Even if you odin back to stock you cannot get into recovery (stock or cwm). You are permanently hardware locked out of recovery. Once stock odin'd to eclair or froyo phone will boot up into that rom fine but you cannot get into recovery and you cannot root. At this stage odin Darky resurrection which is available in tar/pit format. It is a rooted kernel/rom combo. Since iam a new user forum did not allow me to paste any external links here. Google for "Install Darky ROM 10.2 Resurrection" and pick first link.
Now you have rooted kernel and nice rom but still no recovery. From market download some apk installer that works with darky. I just searched for apk installer and picked the first one. Just downloading rom manager may not work since rom manager does not support older versions like eclair/froyo anymore.... Google for "com.koushikdutta.rommanager.apk" and download this apk from some cyber graveyard..Install this apk, open installed rom manager and select reboot into recovery. Now finally i had working recovery and could flash any zip , wipe format etc.. Good luck.
tip: odin must be setup (select files, uncheck boxes..) before getting phone into download mode. Otherwise odin will get stuck. Just re-start all over if this happens.
