First of all yes I have searched a lot on google and on xda. but I was unable to find anything to suite my case.

I recently rooted stock 2.2.2 and went for a custom RoM...gingerbread OpenOptimus RoM.

I now want to go stock but I am unable to do so because the LG PC suite either sais I already have the newest version, either that the update is unavailable for my phone ( this happens when trying to upgrade it after I flashed a froyo RoM)

Is there any safe and easy way of unrooting and going stock using the lG ps suite? I recall it working even though my lg was rooted on froyo 2.2.2 and I was able to update it to stock gingerbread using the pc suite.

Thank you in advance.

I followed that procedure and for now I am stuck in Emergency Mode for a couple of minutes. Until now everything worked as it should....but I wonder why my screen didn't go blank.

Anyway...I find it stupid that the recovery option from LG PC suite does not in fact have anything to do with recovering your phone to its original state. Rather missleading nevertheless...

Later Edit: In the end I reached to the desired result. The procedure from the above link worked to the point in wich the phone had to turn off and needed to be restarted. In my case it didn't shut down, but luckly the firmware was downgraded and I am using the LG Updater to go to official gingerbread right now.

Thanks to everyone that helped...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Dethox:
Sorry for 2x post.

Well....as it seems....the update almost completed but for some reason it stopped, so I followed the instructions and disconnected the cable> pulled out the battery> put it back> power on the phone.

The problem is now that the phone won't power up at all, not even to LG Logo or something. It's like it's fully discharged but it is not the case, because it had 100% battery.

And even if it was fully discharged, when plugged in the phone should turn on and stay at ,,battery charging" screen.

Any suggestions?

You will have to get your PCB replaced from the service centre as the phone is probably a brick by now. I got mine replaced twice under warranty, so I guess it shouldn't be a problem.

The KDZ method is a hit-or-miss thing - I succeeded restoring the stock ROM twice, but failed twice as well, so I won't ever be using that method again.

For posterity, the closest to a stock rom backup you can get is by taking a manual backup of your recovery and a NAND backup of your ROM (after flashing custom recovery) soon after getting a new PCB.

I think he bricked someone else's phone.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Dethox:
That is correct :) I bricked my gf's phone... Oh well, at least she didn't get mad. She wanted the phone replaced anyway.

I will go with her and get another device, as this one had random reboots no matter if it was rooted/unrooted and regardless of custom or stock roms.

ps: It didn't even start in Emergency Mode...and It was because of the LG updater which actually ****ed it up.

After the KDz Tool the phone was still running fine.

Oh well, thanks to everyone for their support. I am so glad I don't personally own an LG...everything regarding it is just wrong... from the way of rooting/adding custom recoveries, the LG pc suite, to the endless possibilities of bricking it.

My Wildfire's only change of getting ,,bricked" is by dropping a brick on it :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrAjAx:
Hallo,

I have Oct/2010 Galaxy S bought from Germany. I have the 3 button recovery mode enable model. So following are the problems I am facing simultaneously...but first the story how it begins...

The day it started

I was making a video of my girl when she was taking a shower..lol..she caught the phone and tried to snatched it...and in this bloody joke act, the phone fell off in the sink about 1-1.5 feet below. I immediately took it and checked if everything was ok. I found that the home screen was fixed to horizontal display, and wouldn't change even after numerous re-starts or rese/selecting the automatic rotation option.

Problems

1. Stuck Horizontal Display

The phone is 99% time stuck to horizontal display with exception of the call log or dialer option or games which run only in portrait mode. Auto-rotation selection-deselection and horizontal calibration doesn't help at all. *Till 2-3 days back, if the phones battery is exhausted and switches off automatically, and then if the charging USB cable is connected, the phone restarts and turns normal to the normal portrait mode*. And stays like this till the next manual restart. Now, this is also not working anymore. I can play the accelerometer games perfectly, those also which run in portrait mode only. Also, the phone never charges if it is switched off..I mean if you connect charger USB cable/power cable when the phone is switched off...the phone turns on and then start to charge. Before(when all was ok), I had this big battery indicator on screen while at the time of switched-off charging. Also, if a power cable charging method is used...the touch screen behaves like crazy and you cant use it at all. You can't even slide to unlock the screen but all the buttons work completely fine. In case of USB cable charging...everything goes normal and I can use the touch screen and buttons like normal.

2. USB Mode

So the USB cable is charging the cellphone whenever connected to any USB port. When connected to a computer, its the wish of the cellphone if its wants to connect or not. The USB mode is detected by a computer/laptop only when the phone is turned on after a complete battery discharge in a normal portrait mode (read the lines above marked with *). That too I have to reinstall the drivers of the phone on the laptop/pc again. All the other times when phone is only have horizontal display, USB mode of any type...mass storage, kies, music player is not detected.

Some how i have upgraded to recently released 2.3.4 XXJVR from my previous 2.3.3 XXJVK but the problem has not gone. It started while using XXJVK only. I have reset everything...erased the phone/sd card memory but nothing happened and also restoring to the factory reset option.

Anyone who can help!!

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zirus69:
I just want to be sure I understand right.

for updating to a new CM7 nighly build I need to do following steps:

1) Backup with App (f.e. with Titanium)

2) Copy new build (zip) to the root partition

3) Boot into recovery

4) run the update

5) restore from Backup

(GApp dont need to install again ?)

Thanks!

Sorry didnt mention I am running CM7 from SD.

Is there a different for the update?

Do I need to rename the build to update-....Zip?

thanks!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
1) Don't really need it but if you want to have a backup, then do it.

2) Drag a nightly build into the root folder ("boot" partition of your uSD)

3) Yes, boot into recovery

4) It will fully-automatically detect and install the update. You DO NOT have to do anything. Wait for it to shut down itself, then turn the NC on.

5) Skip.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmercury:
Since Dell no longer sells Streak, why not ask them to release the full code? If I remember correctly, the reason we don't have truely custom roms is that the source code Dell released is lacking. I think DJSteve said something about the Snapdragon in the Streak is a little different than in other phones.

Thoughts?

-merc
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sturmavik:
They would never do this just because Streak is EOL. Go ahead and ask Sony to release the source code for the first PlayStation. No they won't. Giving out all the source code would make it even easier for competing companies to stitch together their own Streakenstein.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmercury:
I can somewhat see your point but I think your analogy is a bit flawed. The PS1 was/is a completely closed system, so I can understand them not opening the code. Also other manufacturers have released their code without problems.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
It's not that the source code is lacking. It's that the audio driver isn't open source and supposedly is not even owned by Dell. Therefore, the only alternative currently available is to reverse engineer the audio driver so it can work with Gingerbread. While I agree that Dell should simply release the driver since I don't believe they don't own the driver, they have chosen to be obstinate.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kumouri:
The problem is most of the code for the Streak is not owned by Dell. They outsourced a lot of the driver programming, and someone there decided they didn't need to own the code for the drivers. That means they can't release it without the owners permission, which apparently they don't want to release.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmercury:
I knew it was something like that. Welp I guess ill keep dreaming that somethong will change :(
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
Doesn't it have any impact on the Android License? I thought they were bound contractually to release source by the terms of the license.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
They did, but it's understandable that you might be confused. Android is not released under the GPL, but uses the Apache license, which allows for the mixing of open and closed source bits in one piece of software. Thus Dell did their legal duty and released the open source bits of the Streak software while holding on to the closed source stuff.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philip:
America is only a tiny part of the world

Perhaps because Dell DO still sell Streaks?!

It's only in one of the less important territories (America, I think it's called - it's one of the former colonies, anyway) that they have stopped selling it. Those of us all over the majority of the world can still buy a Streak.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
I'm using the free Android Terminal Emulator (Jack Palevich) from the marketplace. I'm experiencing some problems and wondered if I was alone. Of course I tried to uninstall and re-install the app.

When using the physical keyboard within the Terminal Emulator and I hit the button used for the question mark and forward slash [? /] it will type one of these instead "~". I don't know the technical name for that one; it's the squiggly line next to the 1. I get the squiggly line whether i hit that button normal for a question mark AND when I hit alt to try to type a forward slash.

Ok so the great thing about the MT4GS is that we have more than one keyboard method so when in the terminal emulator I thought I'd be smart and use the soft keyboard insead. While using the soft keyboard I don't have the "squiggly line problem" but whenever I type "if" it will type "If" instead with a capital I. So in order to use Terminal Emulator, I had to switch back and forth between the soft and physical keyboard.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Is there another emulator you are using that you can recommend instead?

Thanks
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
Yeah I noticed that exact same problem. Frustrating, and I'm sure if you turn off word prediction for the soft keyboard it would probably stop automating the "If," so it's worth a try. But I couldn't get the "/" to work either with the qwerty.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
Thanks for checking.

I unchecked word prediction in the phone settings and it didn't help. I Cleared Data for the Teminal Emulator App too. Also unckecked word prediction for Swype even though I wasn't using that. I didn't see an option to turn off word prediction within the app itself though.

Thanks for your your help. Hopefully, an update will be released to help with the physical keyboard in the app.

I'll play around more with settings to see if i can get the soft keyboard work better.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
Ok the soft keyboard even capitalizes "I" if it's in the middle of a word.. For example "fIx permIssIons" *shrug* I don't think there is a setting I can change to fix that.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] RazoE:
Long press in any text field entry (except Terminal emulator), and select "input method", select "touch input" and use the soft keyboard to enter commands in TE.

For some reason, you can't use any alt functions on the hardware keyboard, so everything has to be typed with either swype (which can get frustrating unless you're a pro), or the stock keyboard. Good luck!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
Thanks, that worked!!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] PAPPPmAc:
Making a local session in ConnectBot (also free, connect as any dummy username @localhost) works better for me than Android Terminal Emulator ever did. It is a little quirky with the MT4GS keyboard (it double maps the bucky keys, so you have to hold shift and alt instead of press-press like everywhere else), and there are a handful of useful symbols I can't figure out how to make ('|', '<' and '>' in particular), but it has been comparatively solid.
[Defy General] lotfib:
Hey guys, for some reason I can't figure out my 3G connection is gone. It was working fine I guess the last time I used it a couple of days ago. I'm using the leaked 2.3.4 (Shadow 114) rom and I didn't have a single issue since that problem. I don't run any APN widget. Any suggestion to make it work again ? Thanks :)
[Defy General] lotfib:
It's back after a few resets. I dunno why it wasn't working every time I rebooted the phone but after the 6th try it worked. That thread can be closed ! ;)

that means you cannot unlock the bootloader, once you unlock the network lock, and if that no changes to yes, then you can do the rooting, but i cannot promise you that the status will change if you do the network lock, but it's worth the try.
