How do I get back to stock?
- I upgraded to the Evo and I'm going to sell my Optimus V on ebay. How do I get it back to stock from my custom ROM and clear all my data? I have the first generation Optimus V. Here is what I did to get where I am:
Rooted with gingerbreak.
Installed Bobzhome IHO recovery
Booted into recovery and did a backup (I still have the backup available)
Installed the Harmonia ROM09-02-2012 01:14 AMLike 0 - Easisest way:
1. Flash Bobz recovery: VM670NH_recovery.img
2. Go into recovery, and flash this zip: http://forums.androidcentral.com/ext...252Fupdate.zip
It will return you to a stock unrooted rom.
3. Factory reset in the ROM. It is safe now, since VM's update zip removes root.curtis1973 likes this.09-02-2012 01:21 AMLike 1 - curtis1973King Of Pantsseeing as you already have bobz recovery installed,just download the zip listed above and install it via bobz recovery and you're set.09-02-2012 01:28 AMLike 0
- I'm trying to go back to stock as well - only I didn't use Bobzhome. Does it matter?
I don't know if I have a first or second generation Optimus V (or if it matters). Based on the files on my SD I think this is the path I took:
Rooted with GingerBreak-v1.20
Installed VM670NH_recovery.img
There's a backup in the CWM folder on my SD card so I guess I did a backup.
Installed BACKside-IHO-VM670-01312012.zip and gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
I flashed my phone about 7 months ago so I don't recall exactly what I did. I plan to sell it so I'd like to get it back to stock.09-03-2012 09:32 PMLike 0 - VM670NH is the BobZ recovery, so if you used that, you're good to go.
It does matter what recovery you use to flash the Virgin update, since a few recoveries have been known to brick phones flashing this. If you're not sure what recovery you have, just be safe and use one(like BobZ) that's known to work.09-03-2012 09:38 PMLike 0
