have you tried it with nvflash?

nvflash --bct 1108_Hynix_512MB_H8TBR00U0MLR0DM_300MHz_final_emmc_x8.bct --bl fastboot.bin --LGP999AT-01-V10f-310-260-MAR-27-2011+0_AP.bin

i'm pretty sure that would be the command, but you might want to verify this. nvflash isn't my specialty.....yet

[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
it might be because there is no model.dll for the p999. the model.dll included with smartflash is for the p990-optimus 2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
can someone verify the procedure for getting back to a completely stock phone from clockwork mod and root?

i'm assuming this method....

step 1-

use nvflash to get back to stock recovery...

nvflash --bct 1108_Hynix_512MB_H8TBR00U0MLR0DM_300MHz_final_emmc _x8.bct --bl fastboot.bin --download 5 part5.img

reboot phone

or, is there an easier way for newbs(no offense) to revert to stock recovery?

step 2-

use super one click to unroot.

step 3-

volume down and power to do a factory reset.

i just want to clarify for anyone wanting to do so.

alternatively, could nvflash be used to flash the LGP999AT-01-V10f-310-260-MAR-27-2011+0_AP.bin file? there are 2 files in the zip. i'm assuming the larger one would be flashed? so...

nvflash --bct 1108_Hynix_512MB_H8TBR00U0MLR0DM_300MHz_final_emmc _x8.bct --bl fastboot.bin --LGP999AT-01-V10f-310-260-MAR-27-2011+0_AP.bin

and if this method works,would it revert to the stock recovery?

would that be correct?

someone please make any and all corrections. thanks.

also, before returning for an exchange, would a format of the internal memory be recommended? i would think so. don't want lg or tmo find clockwork folders etc. on there. or any other shady stuff you might have.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] RueTheDay:
Which of the two methods worked successfully for you (NVFlashing recovery and then unrooting vs NVFlashing the entire image)?

Also, is there a link to the part5.img stock recovery?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
I returned to stock recovery with nvflash. Then unrooted with soc. Then hard reset. But i uninstalled some tmo apps. I can get them back. Im just looking for a way to flash those bin files. Thats the only thing giving me issues as stated in my post. I started a thread called stock recovery in the general section. On my cell at work right now. Easier for u to go look. Just make sure you have apx drivers and nvflash setup properly.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] danz8509:
do i need nvflash and clock mod recovery? im trying to return my phone today! step by step instructions would be helpful!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
You will need nv flash...instructions on page 2 of clockwork thread. There is a link to modaco.com there with detailed instructions. In order to flash the nandroid stock backup you will need cwm. Did you ever flash cwm or is your recovery stock? Youll have to install cwm. Flash the nandroid backup. Then flash back to stock recovery if u have cwm. Then unroot with superoneclick. Im at work.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] buddahlou:
Only the Rom Manager one but i can't accses it. I get to a factory recovery but the power button doesn't select anything so i can't factory reset. That's why i think NVflash is the only way to go i tried messing with FW.apk and it didn't go very well stuck in a boot loop.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Berat:
Have you held the power button + volume down until you see the green android?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Berat:
Can we just flash the file via recovery? I keep getting an installation aborted msg.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
if you're talking about the bin files, no.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] joackie27:
If I remember it right, there's a thread in Optimus 2X about Smartflash. I think we can also use that for flashing factory firmware. You guys might want to check on it.

Update: Apparently, Smartflash is for flashing the baseband. On the factory firmware, there's the [filename]_AP.bin and the [filename]_CP.bin. One of these might be the baseband.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
the cp.bin file is 700 megs or so. the ap.bin is 74 mb. i came close to nv flashing the stock firmware, but kept erroring out.

and smartflash won't recognize the p999
[T-Mobile LG G2x] joackie27:
If only we can extract the files inside those 2 bin files. :D

Did someone try installing this firmware through NVflash or is even possible? MY phone is stuck in a bootloop i installed CW via NVflash and tried the nandriod from TGA but my phone isn't finding the backup file my last hope is installing factory firmware through NVflash
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
Did you extract the nandroid backup and place in the directory with your other backups?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buddahlou:
The problem is that the phone is in a boot loop and the computer isn't recognizing the phone so I can add files. So what I did was grab a sd card put in my vibrant extracted the files to the sd card as op stated then removed the sd card from the vibrant, installed it in the g2x and rebooted in cw recovery but its not finding the sd card nor the backup.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
do you have another sdcard laying around you could try?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:

but i guess everyone is busy. sorry i can't help you. risking my new phone tryin different commands to help, but no luck.....yet
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buddahlou:
Crazythunder,

Have you tried or know anyone that has installed this firmeware via NVflash? I tried doing it with the commands you posted by it seems that the posted firmware isn't working :-\
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ajeezy13:
sorry im new at rooting phones .. i just want to ask .. after i root my G2x using SOC whats next? can i get paid apps for free? how do i fully customize/get the most out of my G2x just by rooting? any guides? Sorry and THANK YOU!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] joackie27:
How are you issuing the command to nvflash?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
talking about getting paid apps for free is stealing and against the forum rules. please read them.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
i've tried this nvflash --bct 1108_Hynix_512MB_H8TBR00U0MLR0DM_300MHz_final_emmc_x8.bct --bl fastboot.bin --LGP999AT-01-V10f-310-260-MAR-27-2011+0_AP.bin

and several other variations according to the help file in nvflash command prompt. closest i got was partition error.

stupid ^#$%^& nvflash just doesn't like me or those *$^*&% bin files
[T-Mobile LG G2x] short/y:
According to flash_recovery.sh, the command should look like

nvflash --bct E1108_Hynix_512MB_H8TBR00U0MLR-0DM_300MHz_final_emmc_x8.bct --bl fastboot.bin --download 5 <recovery.img>

where <recovery.img> is the file you want to flash. So I assume you'd replace <recovery,img> with LGP999AT-01-V10f-310-260-MAR-27-2011+0_AP.bin
[T-Mobile LG G2x] joackie27:
Yeah I don't think it will work. Let's have the command below as an example,

nvflash.exe --bct E1108_Hynix_512MB_H8TBR00U0MLR-0DM_300MHz_final_emmc_x8.bct --bl fastboot.bin --download 5 recovery-star-test2.img

the --download option above specifies the partition number (in the above case it's partition number 5 which is the recovery partition) and asks nvflash to flash recovery-star-test2.img into recovery. So you can not just flash the whole LGP999AT-01-V10f-310-260-MAR-27-2011+0_AP.bin.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] short/y:
Oh, sorry, I haven't flashed this but thought you were trying to flash the stock recovery. Guess I'll go sit in the corner for not paying attention in class.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ajeezy13:
can i just ask what features unlock a rooted G2x? i just rooted mine and i totally dont know how to work this out. i want to fully customize my G2x . please help thank you
[T-Mobile LG G2x] joackie27:
You can not fully customize it yet as there aren't any roms yet to flash except for the stock rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
flashing the stock recovery was a breeze for me. it's those damn bin files that spit errors at me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] joackie27:
Below is the nvflash command used by paulobrien for flashing the stock rom to the Optimus 2x (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1007825).

nvflash.exe --bct E1108_Hynix_512MB_H8TBR00U0MLR-0DM_300MHz_final_emmc_x8.bct --setbct --odmdata 0xC8000 --configfile android_fastboot_emmc_full.cfg --create --bl fastboot.bin --go

NOTE:

DO NOT RUN THE ABOVE NVFLASH COMMAND ON YOUR G2X. I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE!!!

Obviously the above command will not work on the G2X as they have a different partition table. If you want to learn further, download the file and extract the contents.

1) .dll files - nvflash drivers

2) android_fastboot_emmc_full.cfg - is a configuration file for the emmc and outlines the different partitions

3) boot.img - image file for the bootloader

4) E1108_Hynix_512MB_H8TBR00U0MLR-0DM_300MHz_final_emmc_x8.bct - Boot Configuration Table (BCT)

5) fastboot.bin

6) flash.bat - contains the nvflash command shown above

7) recovery.img - image file for recovery

8) system.img - image file for system

So basically, if you want a stock rom that you can flash via nvflash just like on paulobrien's thread, you need the boot.img, system.img (these 2 files you can get from this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1048274), the android_fastboot_emmc_full.cfg for the G2X, and the odmdata.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
and how do i get android_fastboot_emmc_full.cfg? thanks for the info.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] joackie27:
You need the odmdata too (check my post). For the android_fastboot_emmc_full.cfg, ask a dev? :)

Update: The post below might help you figure out this configuration file.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
it's probably such a pain because it's real early in the game yet. there's still hope. unlike for my sabres....ugh. had to turn it off.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jpdaboss:
Yes or No question

I could mod my current stock rom without worrying about doing any backups and when its time for a warranty exchange if needed I just have to just flash this back on my g2x and unrooted right?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
if you read any of this thread you would see it's not so easy to simply just flash this bin file. it's a little more involved. if you're rooted, just uninstall any root mods and unroot. if you never rooted or flashed a custom recovery, leave your phone as is. you could\should factory format though to delete any personal info.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] PhishShticks:
Okay, so where do I obtain SmartFlash from?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] joackie27:
You can grab SmartFlash from this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1008070). But I don't think it will work with the G2X as the .dll files are for the O2X (LGP990).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] PhishShticks:

Didn't think there was this many people who can't figure out to get to stock. When playing with your device you should know how to take off whatever you put on...

1. Make sure you have cwm recovery not the rom manager one only the nvflash version

2. Download the stock Tom restore tga gunman posted put it in the correct folder or navigate to where you put it and restore with cwm

3. Use super one click root to unroot your device and done back to original factory Tom with no root now pat yourself on the back and enjoy

Assuming this should work with everyone but everyone us different
[T-Mobile LG G2x] slycog:
Why is it that people routinely give completely off topic responses? To make things worse it's delivered in an arrogant fashion.

Several people including myself have expressed interest in using nvflash with this recovery image, regardless of whether or not you understand/agree that is the discussion taking place in this thread.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] skater4690:
I understand this and think it's great but if you read the other 9 pages you would understand why I wrote that. There were 2 or more people just trying to return to stock they didn't care asuming they don't care of the method used just wanted to go to stock and this was the most noob friendly way so if its off topic my bad regardless its still useful and can help wasn't trying to be arrogant just helpful
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
It still does not answer the question of returning to stock in all cases. One poster accidentally flashed an O2X image and it had both a different radio and different partition structure.

I don't think a flash through recovery will fix that. It may only work with NVflash for the G2X (there is another tool - smartflash - but believe it only works on the O2X).

A guide that addresses this issue would really be helpful - if the files in the OP can be used to do the job (I think it does, as some O2X users apparently tried it on their devices and messed them up).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] skater4690:
Completely agree I was just saying that for the others that didn't do that and just wanted to be stock. Hope someone figures this out cause then I would assume we could use o2x rom's just flash our radio and baseband after o2x rom flash
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kds23:
has anyone figured out a way to use this?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
Yes - Smartflash, but.....

I and others have tried using Smartflash with this, The AP.bin file runs OK and restores your basic ROM, but the CP.bin file which you need to fix or flash a new the baseband errors with 'can't read the magic number" - whatever-the-hell that means.

No help in XDA or modeco.com on this one.

Another great tool on modec is Paul's "disaster recovery" package, but it is only set up for the 990. I asked if he could duplicate it for the G2X (999), but while he did a few things for the G2x when the device was first released, he has apparently lost interest in it and moved on.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Does this restore the stock baseband?

Yes - IF IT WOULD RUN THE CP.bin file! per the above, This is where it breaks down.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DVDWSN:
I'm getting stuck at step 11. I get to the white bootloader screen and without doing anything the phone does and SD check, looks for PC10DIAG.zip, etc, then finds PC10IMG.zip and checks it. Then I get bumped out to the bootloader list of FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, FACTORY RESET, SIMLOCK and IMAGE CRC.

It's unclear what to do from there. The tutorial says I'll get a prompt to update and restart, but I don't.

Also, the tutorial says I'll need a goldcard (which I created) but no where in the tutorial does it say what to do with it...

I got a goldcard using Gold Card Tool. Just do a google search of "easy goldcard".
