[Q] Help with reverting back to stock - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I've been running MIUI on my HTC EVO 4G for a while and have been jumping from ROM to ROM, I went to download CyanogenMod 7.2 RC1 and, although the ROM was working and I flashed the Android Market also, it wouldn't allow me to download any apps . I tried doing this on multiple ROMs and nothing would let me download any apps at all, so I wanted to try going back to stock and unrooting, I tried flashing a PC36IMG.zip file on my phone and it wouldn't work, for some reason I can still download apps on MIUI though. Could someone please either help me figure out what I did to my phone or find a way to unroot and go back to stock?

I need to put my phone back to original?

I need to get my phone back to the state it was in when it was new as im having it replaced by Orange tom morning.
I have it rooted with mcr 2.8 installed.
I cant upgrade the rom to an Orange one as i keep getting errors from the stock one.
I cant unroot either as that does not appear to be working for me.
Plus i have cyanogenmod 1.4 which i need to remove too.
I have tried all sorts of ways to get back to stock and so far i have managed to install a stock Orange rom by the same way you install a modded one.
So i just need to remove the modded recovery image and unroot.
Any help will be very much appreciated.

Need a little help with this. Please

I have a quite larger problem, I installed the JP3 rom from Eugene and Bionix. Well I revereted back to a nandroid of Vibrant9, thats where my problems began. After the nandroid was finished I seen the GTI9000 screen and it stayed there so I tried to revert back to stock with odin. I havedone every stock 2.1 odin they have posted and they go into a bootloop boot all the way up for about 20 seconds and then reboot. So I managed to get my update.zip pushed to my internal and without having to reroot the phone I got into clockwork mod installed Franken Twiz it works great other than the new problems. My signal either shows to be all or nothing no more individual bars being full, and my market place with download maybe 5 apps and wont download anything else after that. Did I do something wrong I followed all directions to a T help is needed Please.

You could try downloading lookout from the market. It will scan the apps you have. I personally havent seen a virus but im careful what I load.
not to be rude but in the OP it states that my market place no longer works becase of this. none of the antivirus apps actually work they have never been tested with a real virus. if someone can post the apk for a zip file containing that apk for lookout we can test to see if it really works

Revert to stock?

Hey,
I have recently flashed and installed a custom CM7 rom to my Galaxy 5 but i am not happy with the results and i wish to go back to Stock 2.2- i stupidly didnt create a backup, so can anyone point me in the right direction on how to get back to stock, i am completely new to this kind of stuff so please try and keep it simple!
Thanks
go to samfirmware.com and download the rom for your phone.
Then use odin to install it on your phone

[Q] Problem downloading app.

Hello, I rooted my phone and it bricked so I found a stock rom and now after I did that I tried to go to the app market and every time I try to update packages It says can't install please try again and I get the same error if I download the .apk and try to do it that way, my services were turned off and I can't update versions I don't even know what version i'm running, any ideas on how I can fix this problem?
I would first try re flashing gapps. Then maybe a gapps fixer. If all else fails go to odin town and revert back to stock gingerbread
Okay well I tried to use odin to go back to stock but I could never figure it out, This may make me look stupid but 1) how do I flash gapps and if that works how can I revert back to stock android, I just dont want to ruin my android..
Being that i'm not sure of what you have on your phone (and even if you have a fascinate) I would just say odin to stock. There are various guides floating around. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1212239. Just do step 2 but with this file http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38436349/CI500_VZW_EH03_GB_CM.tar.md5. That's stock EH03 (gingerbread)
Notes for Odin:
Always use PDA section
Never ever ever ever ever, no matter who tells you, even if Jesus himself tells you, click phone EFS clear on. That will kill your data and you have to call Verizon to fix it or switch your data plan to another smart pone and then back to your fascinate.
Good luck

[Q] Installed CyanogenMod 10.2 (stable) and gapps - phone freezing - return to stock

Hi,
i really need ur help guys, i installed CyanogenMod 10.2 (wanted a stable version) on my girlfriends I9300.
flashed gapps found in http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps for 10.2
but now the phone keeps freezing, if its when im updating apps thru the playstore or just trying to import contacts thru the contacts app.
i decided i dont wanna mess with it on her phone and wanna go back to stock ASAP/
can anyone please help me do that? i myself have an HTC One and am not farmilar with all the Galaxy programs like Odin, Kies etc.
i tried to follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/fix-s3-to-factory-unroot-stock-recovery-t2323847
but couldnt get Odin to show that yellow text under ""ID:COM" even tho i have the drivers installed
shes leaving tomorrow for work and i dont wanna leave her without a phone. please help me.
phone got CWM + CyanogenMod 10.2
i wanna go back to the latest stock ROM and recovery.
Thanks in Advance.
Best advice here would be flash a custom sammy firmware like neatrom ect ect.
This can be flashed through cwm recovery just like cm. With custom Sammy firmware you have the best of both worlds. Good looks and good battery.
A dumb question but did you installed the correct gapps for proper android version?

Did you put the phone into download mode?
i installed the correct gapps version for the android, used the CM wiki to get those.
in any case, i decided to go back to stock.
flashed stock recovery and flashed latest stock ROM from SamMobile.com
all working well now.
i followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/fix-s3-to-factory-unroot-stock-recovery-t2323847
without the part about resetting the flash counter, since i dont care about that (phone out of warranty anyways)
Thank you for your help!
