Thanks for posting this. takehull beat me to making a thread on how to restore to stock though.

.I would move the "(At this point, you should have a "#" prompt, if instead you see "$", SuperOneClick has not been able to gain access to your phone. Go Back to step 3 and try again)" above the adb shell so all the commands are together.
I used the set cpu app but it said the rom would not let me overclock, oh well I will need to read more before I move on.
I can't get mine to root. Super one click freezes when attempting to root my device. Also under device manager it says adb interface Android sooner adb interface with a yellow warning sign. I've rooted about 20 phones so I am not sure whats going on. Maybe my new xp is crap.
Any ideas on how I can just put the browser back on?
I reinstalled Voice search from market, which updated the version to 2.1.1, but I still have the same problem.
Open up a command window and cd to your android/platform-tools directory.
type the following
adb shell (logs you into the phone, you should see the # prompt)
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/stock-boot.img
cat /dev/mtd/mtd2 > /sdcard/stock-recovery.img
exit
You should now have two files on your sd card called stock-boot.img and stock-recovery.img.
Now, I currently have dsixda's kitchen installed on Ubuntu and would like to modify the stock ROM. In order to do this, I need stock boot.img and system.img files. Are the recovery.img and system.img files identical? In other words, can I just rename "stock-recovery.img" to "system.img" for use in dsixda's kitchen? If not, where can I find a bone-stock system image?
Thanks!
There are a few people over at xda-developers forum that are working on a Gingerbread port for the LG Optimus variants, but I wouldn't really recommend using it yet. A lot of things are still broken.Anyone have any need to know information on how I would go about getting Gingerbread for my phone? All I've been able to find is the developer's platform for Gingerbread, but not the actual upgrade.
If you made a nandroid backup, you can unzip it and grab the file from it. Google programs are stored on the phone as files with an .apk extension, so if you look in system/app, it should be there. Alternatively, you can flash a rom that still has it, or try googling Browser.apk and see if you come up with anything.
Unfortunately, the recovery.img is not the same as the system.img. Fortunately, there are already a couple of dumps of the system.img on the forum. Check HERE for example. Download the nandroid backup, and you'll be able to extract with 7-zip to grab the stock images.
As I prefer the do-it-yourself route (hoping to learn more about the process that way), could I obtain the stock image by simply making a nandroid backup of my phone and extracting the boot.img and system.img files? I have rooted my phone and installed superuser + Titanium Backup, but otherwise made no changes. Would this still be a "stock" system.img? I'm unclear as to what, exactly, is contained within the system image.
Again, thanks for all of the help! I'm documenting things as I go along so that I can help other newbies in the future.
I tried everything you suggested, and made my nandroid backup after I did the titanium. The couple of browser.apk on the web didn't work. Would anyone be able to put their browser.apk on the web someplace for me to try, before I do a full system flash? Thanks if you can.
