I think the title is pretty much self-explanatory, but let me explain the purpose of this thread.
Back when I first rooted my phone and flashed a custom rom, I made a backup of my stock rom (as recommended). Days and months began to pass by, and I decided that I would not need the back up anymore, so I deleted it. Bad move, because later on, I wanted to go back to stock, but that meant flashing the stock rom using KDZ. To this day, I've used KDZ only once, and I don't want to use it again. I decided to make and keep a backup of the stock rom just in case.
Recently, I've been thinking about making a thread, or a repository I should say, for all the stock roms out there, both froyo and gingerbread. That way, if we want to revert back to stock, we can just flash a zip.
Also, if you want to SIM unlock your phone, this is an alternative to using KDZ.
I can see how privacy may be an issue. However, I would like to say that these backups should be backups of a clean install. When I say that, I mean they should have been made right after you flash with KDZ so that the rom is clean. This way, privacy will not be an issue (the only items in my backup are: boot.img, /META-INF, /system, and installbusybox which I added myself due to problems with su).
Keep in mind that:
1) This thread will not help you if you cannot boot into recovery. That means that if you are stuck in fastboot, emergency mode, or the LG logo, I believe KDZ is the only option left.
2) Flashing these backups will not change your baseband. You need either KDZ or LGMDP for that.
3) These zips will not overwrite your current recovery.
There are two methods of obtaining this backup:
1. Use KDZ to flash the stock rom, and then make your own zip with /META-INF, /system, and boot.img.
2. Use this tutorial.
If you are interested, please PM or post the link to your backup and specify the language of the rom.

PS. if I get water damage on my Optimus T, but I rooted it and installed jelly bean on it already, would i still be able to get repair
if not, if I purpously hard brick it using kdz would the T-Mobile store know I rooted it and would they replace it for me?

This is the original, stock optimus t rom and it is rooted.
If your phone receives water damage, I believe it should be safe if you flash the stock backup, and then unroot your phone. Your method with KDZ works too (at least what I have read from others).

I think what DarkKnight meant was that in case you need to send your device in for repair, you can just flash these zips instead of using KDZ.

Are you guys serious??? It is the latest shipped image -- i.e., it is a stock ROM. Do you need screenshots for a stock ROM???
Thanks Football - much appreciated.
I'd like to warn everyone that once you apply this PASSIMG image, you cannot go back and apply Android 2.2 PASSIMG images. As a result, you will lose the ability to do one click root. Only use this PASSIMG image if you know what you are doing please.
And yes, Thanks Football.

I doon't think so, you can try any 2.2 images. I've already apply and tried this roms and continue test some roms, like my sense 2.2 for example.
If you have installed BlackRose, this rom is not rubicon river.
But before uninstall blackrose, you must change main-ver by flashing modified misc image

What I meant was try downgrading to an official stock Android 2.2 rom using PASSIMG after applying this IMG, it will not work as you are on a newer shipped version. There is a whole thread on the "main version is older" issue regardIng PASSIMG method. It is even in the Wiki. Anyways, I still stand by my comment for others not to apply this PASSIMG if you dont know what you are doing.

yes,this is nexus one best stock rom i use and enjoy super faster rom ever

Not sure if you ever even log in anymore, but thanks for this ROM, I actually had to use it today believe it or not and was able to restore my Nexus One back to stock.

THIS IS NOT NOOB FRIENDLY
IF YOU HAVE TO ASK, YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE DOING THIS.
MAKE A BACKUP THROUGH CWM
Download the ODIN files from the linked thread
Copy Google Apps and Face Unlock zips to SD Card
Reboot into Download mode
Flash the ODIN files (warning::: this flashes a ICS bootloader) -- Edit, try without flashing bootloader first. It's safer.
Reboot into Recovery
Flash Gapps and Face Unlock zips
Do a factory reset (yes, AFTER installing everything)
Reboot
Set up your phone
Reboot again
PLAY AROUND FOR A WHILE
Restore backup to go back to whatever you were using before
If something confuses you, this probably isn't for you and you should wait for a i777 version of the ROM to be availible (it won't take long, please wait and save all of us from DIS ROM BRICK MAH FONE threads).
Things that don't work:
Everything listed on the CM9 Alpha page +
Home Button = Back Button & Back+Search buttons do not work
Phone does not work (and flashing the RIL in the CM9 thread will not fix this == it's a kernel problem)
This isn't my work, I'm linking and providing instructions on how to flash an ALPHA ROM. The phone DOES NOT work!
I'm not affiliated in anyway with Team Hacksung or Cyanogen.
You don't have to flash the ODIN files, just use the CWM zip he provided.

You must have already had an i9100 bootloader.. the install script he provides with his cwm release specifically looks for the model number.. flashing i777 roms don't so you may not have noticed up until mnow.
Just remove the first two lines in the script and it won't check.
edit: I've always been very careful and have never flashed any bootloaders on this phone. Just to clarify I didn't have to edit the script on this one though, but i have on others in the past.

Sorry should have explained better, i was running an i9100 port at the time. That's why i didn't need to edit the build.prop. And to answer your question just remove the first two lines, you'll see once you get it up in notepad.

There were changes to the bootloader from froyo to gingerbread on the i9000 that the rom depends on, so one can assume there to be similar bootloader changes. It's probably best to wait for Atin to give us some proper information and/or a build for the i777 after the holidays.

Are you making a KDZ or bin/fls? If KDZ, can you share the steps involved in extracting the KDZ and re-creating it? It would be nice if the KDZ could be pre-rooted too.
Also we need a clean stock KDZ for un-bricking.
When i get home from work i will look into formatting a KDZ since we seriously need one for our phone i believe I have the LG tools still. And finish deodexing.

I'm curious about something regarding the newer ROMs in the dev forum. Why do so many of the newer ROMs coming out insist that you have to be on the JB OTA before flashing? I'm familiar with flashing on other phones where you just wipe and flash, and move on with life. Does this have to do with the radio/modem? And if that's the case, could you not just flash the ROM and then a modem? I'm just trying to get some clarification stemming from genuine confusion.
Not really sure but could it maybe have something to do with the trust/compatibility deal thing?? Idk I was wondering the same question in op. By no means is this the answer I was just throwing this out there. Hopefully someone can shed some light.

No, that link did clear it up. Not sure how I missed it before, but whatever. Seems to be a security feature for the newer ROMs, if I read that post correctly.

No, its the tz partition that is only changed throught the OTA/LGNSPTing that is needed. I'm not quite sure of all the specifics, but this tz partition is what you need to flash these new roms.
Excellent explanation, much thanks. Quick follow up question now... Once the OTA update is done, is that more or less permanent for the purposes of ROM flashing? In other words, does the phone have to be put back to stock every time I want to change ROMs?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
You only need to do it would once. Once the tz is put in place it stays, unless you lgnpst to the n4 conversion or to ICS. Flashing a ROM in recovery won't change it.
Beautiful. That's what I figured, but better to ask before bricking my phone. Thanks again.

So I flashed one of these roms,Vanilla rootbox to be exact. Can I now flash any of these newer roms or do i need to go back to the stock 4.1.2 before flashing another one of these roms?

Standard "I'm not a developer but..." disclaimer here. You can either revert to the stock ICS build and get the OTA update, then re-root/unlock, or I seem to remember a flashable stock 4.1.2 zip file in the development section that is supposed to take care of the TZ stuff to let you move on with life.
Feel free to correct me if that's not good information, though.

I already lngpost-ed to the 4.1.2 and then rooted and then flashed one of these newer roms. My question is really can I go from one of these roms to another without going back to the stock 4.1.2 and rooting again?
That is my understanding. Once you have the TrustZone partition set up from the stock JB, it's there and you don't have to mess with it again. Unless you do something that kills it, like go back to an ICS rom.

Sweet. Thanks for the help. I'll post back if for some reason it does not work
Good question OP, I was wondering the same thing and this LGNPST thing is confusing.
So, I am currently running SnowJB (which I believe is 4.1.2?)
Do I need to do the LGPNST in order to install these newer ROMs, such as Vanilla Rootbox? Or am I all set to go ahead and flash new ROM?
To anyone confused, ask yourself...
Did you receive the 4.1.2 (JB) update over the air OR did you use lgnpst to flash to 4.1.2?
If yes, then you can begin flashing as usual without having to lgnpst every time you change ROMs.
If you haven't used one of these methods then you need to do one first before flashing the new ROMs.
Simple as that.

Hi there,
today i installed the newest JellyBAM Mod. After restarting from Recovery to normalboot, the bootlogo stucked. ( http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachm...tlogo-kernel-logo-aendern-galaxy-s2-stock.jpg )
I waited ~10 minutes but nothing happened. I tried wiping cache, dalvik cache and factory reset but nothing works. That means i can go into recovery mode and also into download mode.
What can I do? I dont nesserly need to have it rooted right away, i guess i need to flash something with odin?
A stuck firmware would be cool, i allready found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650919
But I'm not sure which one exactly i need to use. Im from Germany and I have a GT-I9100 unbranded..
I looked at SAMmobile but im not sure if i need the Germany - MBC or the Germany - DBT ?? What is the difference?
Please help me, i guess i accedently deleted some backups i made earlier (3-4 months ago?), because I dont have them anymore on my SD Card.
Do you have the JellyBam ROM zip on your SD card?try dirty flashing.

I can get any file on my S2 since i can connect my SD card to my PC.
Maybe i accidently downloaded the wrong ROM but i really don't think so. I try it now, atm downloading the newest jellybam update on my PC.
E: Won't work. I found some older Files when 4.1.2 was first leaked, Can i just use these files via Odin once again? Or will it not work because it's then older Jellybean?
Not the ROM.The mod you installed.Its happened to me a couple of times.All I did was flash the rom without any mods .It'll boot.

Woops, i wrote something wrong. I dont meant JellyBAM Mod, I mean rom. My bad! Still, Can i simply try it with odin?
So,you installed jellybam ROM?and it wouldn't go past the bootlogo ?
Yes flashing stock rom via Odin should work.You'll have to flash a compatible kernel again.

Right.
And because I'm not sure what the "compatible kernel" or the stock kernel is, my plan was to use 4.1.2 leaked version that worked beginning of the year (or even further behind) for me fine. This has a kernel etc. on board, that should work again right??
Have you wiped data? Flashing a ROM without wiping data will make your phone end up like that. If you don't want to lose any data then back it up with Titanium Backup. I frequently play with ROMs and thats what I do.
Personal experience.

Yes it should work.But if i remember correctly,the leaked versions weren't stable and had a lot of bugs.To be on the safer side,download the latest version from www.sammobile.com for your country and phone model/carrier.

For me the leaked version worked fairly well and since i know it worked these days ago, im pretty sure I want to use this one.
If not, I don't know the difference between Germany - MBC and Germany - DBT + I don't know if the kernel works etc.

MBC and DBT are just different firmware versions.As long as they are for your phone,carrier and country,they should work.All of them have same stock kernel.Since yours is an unbranded from germeny,either of MBC or DBT should work fine.
By compatible kernel,i meant for rooting purposes.
