Stock dumps for Optimus V.

[takehull]

I can provide some semi-stock dumps(custom recovery and root are all I've done) if some one can walk me through it. I accidentally overwrote my stock recovery image, so we would need to get that from somewhere else.

It would be a good idea to have them so we can "fall back" when Gingerbread comes.

EDIT: Here is a way to get back to "stock," at least good enough to return or sell. Please read and follow instructions before doing anything. I am not responsible if you brick or further damage your phone! Special thanks to Zefie for giving me the inspiration to do something like this, and drellisdee for the recovery commands/flash_image.

Here is a nandroid dump that I made after a data wipe. Extract the "BCDS-20110203-0357" file into the "nandroid" folder, under the "mem=477M" subfolder. Just apply the nandroid backup like any other one, and you should have a stock system that is easily unrootable(via Superoneclick root. Just click "unroot"), and already has the data wiped from it.

To install the stock recovery, extract "recovery.img" to the root of the SD Card. You should already have "flash_image" on your SD Card, but if not, you can find attached at the bottom of the first post here.

Then, open up an adb shell and type in
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
reboot recovery

And you should have stock recovery as wel as a clean, data free stock phone!

Here is the link to the recovery.img and nandroid back up.

Anyone care to test the nandroid backup on another phone? Just make a nandroid backup before you flash it, reboot, reboot into recovery and give me the results? Everything worked for me(duh), but would like to see if it can be replicated elsewhere.

My girlfriend just got hers yesterday and It hasnt been rooted or anything. Could I somehow adb temproot her phone and pull the stock recovery image off of it? I have been searching all over for a command to adb pull recovery image but nothing works. Let me know if you think this is possible.

adb pull /system

adb pull /system

THat will pull the system partition, we already have system dumps, we dont have recovery, which is a separate partition. You SHOULD be able to pull recovery (after you shell root with SuperOneClick) with:

dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd2 of=/sdcard/recovery.img bs=4096

 

[takehull]

I was able to pull recovery using:

cat /dev/mtd/mtd2 > /sdcard/recovery.img.

Nandroid back up and recovery up. First post.

I know this is a double post, but first post has been updated.

Thanks for posting this. Very useful information. Might I suggest that you change the title or start a new thread under something like [How-To] Return a rooted Optimus V to stock? That way more people will find it.

 

[takehull]

I will when I get home

Were you able to get a copy of the stock recovery image? I'm looking for
one for the optimus v from virgin mobile.

Thanks in advance.

Its in directory of the big zip file in the first post. extract recovery.img


Also, found here in the first link in this post. Extract vrecovery.img. Same file as above

Takehull stated in his first paragraph that he didn't have a good stock recovery. That he has overwritten it.

"I can provide some semi-stock dumps(custom recovery and root are all I've done) if some one can walk me through it. I accidentally overwrote my stock recovery image, so we would need to get that from somewhere else."

That is why I was hoping that someone had a "virgin" copy.

Thanks

No luck

No luck with this one either. Says it is the
Android System Recovery <3e>

4 options in blue lettering and the little
android guy in the lower part of the screen.

My original was very different.

Thanks for your help

I was only in it once but I seem to remember my stock recovery looking exactly like what you describe. I am considering virginizing my OV since I just got it 2 weeks ago and I can, in theory, return it and wait for the Triumph. I just hope they announce the release date and price before my 30 days on my OV are up.

 

[chris.r.floyd]

I have and Optimus V and I wiped my radio trying to update to the VD baseband.. Is there anyway someone could pull the stock one so I can flash it.... Ive been without 3G for weeks and it sucks. lol

 

[chris.r.floyd]

Can someone dump the OV stock baseband for me please?

 

[dammitman]

Seconded.

I had to return my Optimus V a few days later, and got a new one. I pulled the stock recovery off of it the day I got the new one.
