Stock 2.3.4 flashable zip? Anyone have?

Hey,
I want to revert back to stock 2.3.4 but I want to keep root and clockwork etc, so anyone know where I can get a stock 2.3.4 flashable zip?
Right now I am on CM7 latest
Thanks

i found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061648
if i download this rom from the thread:
GRJ22 OTA (stock vanilla - odexed, unrooted):
http://www.mediafire.com/?shsmauak48b8hc4
MD5: 3B2B7B0BAAAA803365A573FC3864A150
is that the original stock 2.3.4?

anyone?........

The mediafire one is linked to a stock 2.3.4 that is deodexed that is still unrooted. If you want to read up on what deodexed means, check out this article.
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-odex-and-deodex-in-android-complete-guide/
You will still need to root this ROM.
In the thread, the top link is "stock" 2.3.4 but rooted and deodexed (along with the other things he mentions in the thread).
Basically, you have two options. Use PASSIMG to get your phone back to stock and update to 2.3.4. Then, if your bootloader is unlocked, you can flash a custom recovery and flash one of the many su.zip files out there that give you root access. This will truely be a rooted stock 2.3.4 install. If you want the easier route, use the link in the thread you referenced above.

I built one about a month ago for someone who wanted the same thing, but I'm struggling to find it...
EDIT: I've just thrown something together, if you still need it? Basically, I removed the stock recovery from the GRI40 and GRJ22 updates, so that you can flash them without losing recovery. You can then flash the su zip, and you will be updated, with root...
Tested, and it works...

The OTAs were just updates (about 5mb) from previous versions so there is not stock full system zip. You would probably need to flash stock 2.3.3 then you can flash the 2.3.4 update. Now there is also a 2.3.6 update that is flashed from 2.3.4.

Danger-rat,
please can you upload it.
I currently have 2.3.3 rooted somehow :S and it keeps FC sometimes and the default music app cant read my songs... but rootexplorer can. So i want to get a clean rom see if it all works. and ofc keep recovery.

As noted in the thread, this is something I've just thrown together. It's basically the full GRI40 update, and the GRJ22 update patch with the stock recovery and recovery restore scripts removed from both- this means your custom recovery will not be over written.
Backup your apps (Titanium, or whatever)
Boot into recovery.
Make a backup of your current ROM
Do a full wipe
Flash GRI40
Flash GRJ22
Flash the su zip
Reboot
Restore your apps...
Here are the files:

[Q] Few questions regarding stock ROMs

Hi there!
I have some doubts so need your help!
Right now, I am using LG stock ROM v20L EURO open (downloaded as .kdz file).
Since I am interesting for some cool themes here, I figured that I must have deodexed ROM installed and I downloaded Paul's deodexed stock version. Before I try to flash this ROM I am not sure what will happened with my Baseband 0725 for 20L that I got with kdz.file after flashing deodexed ROM in CWM. Do I need flash baseband again? Also, before flashing do I need wipe something (cache & dalvik) since I will use stock version again (only deodexed this time)? I am not sure is it stock kernel is included in stock v20L ROM?
Thank you in andvance for your help!
Cheers

your baseband will be kept, no need to flash again for the baseband. cause you're already v20L

Thank you for your answer.
In meantime decided to try and sucessfully installed odexed 20L ROM over stock version and kept all data and programs...

Happy Ending

[Stock ICS Download List]overview over all CMW and NVFlash builds by me | v28G latest

To keep the overview, here the place where you can find all the stock ICS builds made by me.
Flashable CWM versions available (no full wipe required) as well es NVFlash versions (full wipe only).
The CWM versions can only be installed by those already running new unlocked bootloader + CWM.
Essential update November 16:
New NVFlash versions (v28E & v28G) are available.
New features:
fixed bootloader, so Smartflash will work again for everyone
CMW Recovery 6, no more too big font in CWM, also no more /cache errors
fixing sizes of recovery partition and boot partition
NO full wipe required!! New NVFlash version can backup your /data partition and restore later (Internal SD will still be wiped!)
Noob-secure flashing process. Telling the user exactly what to do and asks for confirmation before doing anything.
Stock LG ICS content for internal SD card can be flashed as well (user is asked) - gives some extra music, apps, videos
No more deodexed version. I think odexed works best.
Google Now (Online-version) preinstalled, still about 25 MB free space in /system partition
additional widgets from SU660 preinstalled
the new installation scripts are available for both Windows and Linux (tested by me extensively)
Windows APX driver included (for Linux not needed)
some minor things. A custom kernel by me will come as soon as we get the final kernel sources!
New CWM ZIPs are available as well! Please be aware that they do not upgrade bootloader (=fix of Smartflash Bug), CWM (from 5 to 6) or fix partition sizes for boot and recovery partition (were too small, could cause problems lateron). Only NVFlash version does that. So you might prefer to, as a one-time-upgrade, use NVFlash version. You can, with the new NVFlash versions, backup and restore your /data partition, so your settings and apps won't be lost. Only Internal SD will still be wiped.
The new ICS builds are available in download folder, in subfolder "Second Generation ROMs (improved, recommended)".

The new ICS builds are available in download folder, in subfolder "Second Generation ROMs (improved, recommended)".
Deodexed version of v28G also includes some more widgets (those from the Addon-packages).
You have to read the installation instructions on NVFlash versions and CWM versions in this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986097 (installation procedures are explained in first post).

And I'm gonna head for CWM 28G version. A million thx Stefan!! :good:
Update. ....and it of course works well! Thanks!

i know it's a noob question but.. why the kdz is obvious bigger(size) than your rom?
and one more question.. can you replace the logo in the bootloader with lg original one?

Because of the high compression I chose for the archives! Sometimes compression works more effective, sometimes not.
You can believe me that I ONLY removed demo videos (~26 MB) and the Rom updater app and the LG remote controlling app (both together about 2-5 MB or something).

Thanx a ton for your rom Stefan.... its amazing.... can you brief about the advantages of the new V28G over the older version, is it highly recommended to upgrade to the newer one....??

So far I can tell you it has got a new kernel and many updated apps and binaries. I don't know the exact changes though. But upgrade of course is highly recommended! You can make an upgrade without full wipe from my v28E version.

A millions thanks Stefan, downloading now v28g flasheable zip, you're best.

Can someone confirm if smartflash is working with the new bootloader...?? I tried to flash the new V28G baseband but was unable to get the phone in software upgrade mode....

Try to enter smartflash with battery inserted

I'm at v28G NVFlash version currently. I just flashed v28G BB with Smartflash.
Can somebody please try if it works for CWM version v28G as well??
If NOT, then you will just have to install the updated recovery image with different CWM. I will soon provide it. I'm not sure yet if the NVFlash bug is related to recovery.img.

The kdz contains multiple images and the baseband. it's not only system image. the kdz contains system.img as well which has the same size.

Might be a silly question, but can anyone tell me, in few words, what the difference is between LGP990_ICS_v28G_Stock_NewBL_Root_CWM_initd_NVFlash.7z
and
LGP990_ICS_v28G_Stock_Root_initd_4CWM-NewBL_NoFullwipe.zip ?
I just want something stock with maximum smoothness, I don't care about flashing new stuff and all that

which is the better ?
-rebuild the phone (install all program and everything) from startup ( nvflash )
-v28e --> cwm --> v28g ?
i wan't a stable, smooth, good working rom without any issue

Are you Angel sent by God for 2x user??

and buddy.. can you replace the logo in unlocked bootloader with original lg one?

Best Rom to solve My problems

Hi,
I have since Fev. 2012, a optimus black, but since the beginning I have problems with him.
Before, I was unable to take pictures, because every pictures I took was corrupted.
Since I upgrade to V30b, this problem was solved, but now, sometimes the message: The SD card was removed apears, and I need to reboot the phone. I installed Beyondpod to ear pod casts and all the downloaded pod casts file, after 1 day were corrupted (files with names like:┬▬¶, before the photos were the same names).
This week the phone blinked non stop, I needed remove the batery, and all settings were reserted.
Now I think my battery drains so fast, I had reserted all settings to factory defaults and now the phone is working, bus Podcasts no.
I´m sick of this phone. I wants some custom rom to see if the phone improve.
Can anyone please can help me?
Please give me the information about witch Custom ROM is better. (fast, clean, battery, in all aspects)
Tanks a lot for the help.
Sorry my bad English

If it's a rooted v20 (GB) just install ROM Manager from play store and maybe first try a Marvel12b, 11 or even 10 ... where you get a touch 5 CWM recovery with it. Than you probably have the best base you can get to install any ROM.zip from.

I heard there is one way to install a CWM on v30, but normaly you only brick your phone when you try to get a CWM on v30. Look for unlock U boot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160394

yeah, this is a way, but cwm 6 have bug sdcard unmounted, use recovery.img 5.xx.xx on this case.
IMHO, if you have SFT, it's safe to flash with Preinstallation for IZS ROM (SmartFlash): includes Smartflash and latest LG USB drivers =>
http://huexxxtuff.blogspot.com.es/2013/01/izs-rom-links.html
you should have, ics rooted and cwm on one shot. after you can make nandroid backup and test all custom rom you want.

Case C: you already are on a new ICS rom without CWM

- If you want, use OnlineNandroid to do a nandroid backup of your phone, I'm not responsible of your data losing

Now I am confused.
There is any tutorial to help me install the rom?
I am a newbie in this matters. I had a Galaxy tab 7 (p1000), and in that time I did install some roms, but time pass, and now I´m super confused.
I read several thing but, you gave me different solutions and I don´t now how to do.
I think the best rom (following your´s advise), is the MARVEL.
I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554274
And I choose the last: Marvel v G based on Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4 v 30d France - deodexed and zipalligned
Following the instructions of the link, I only need do this:
1. You will need a rooted Optimus Black and boot in CWM Recovery or use ROM Manager.
2. Copy the zip file in SDCard.
3. Install zip file.
This is correct?
I need to root the boot? How can I confirm is I have a rooted boot?
SaschaKH gave me this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160394
Can I use this instructions to root the boot?
For all operations I need the CWM.Can i install in play store? I found the ClockworkMod (ROM MANAGER) free version. Can I use this version?
Exist also the Rom Manager Premium, for what I need, the free version is OK or I need the pay version?
To finish: What is:
1- SFT?
2 - deodexed and zipalligned?
Thank a lot for all the help.
Sorry for this questions, I want to learn more about this world, and I´m starting. I count with you guys.
Thanks a lot.
Once again sorry for all my questions and my bad English. (I´m Learning English too)

everything you need is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487105

You didn't read it well. It says to root your phone and to boot to CWM. The thing with U-boot is to get rid of the locked bootloader wich gives you an LG Security Error if you install any alternative recovery.
You can follow the instructions given but I didn't try it myself.
What I found easier is to do as NOOBY wrote in his tutorial : flash a V20 patched rom (Gingerbread stock rom rooted and with CWM), like that you'll only have to do the wipes required in CWM and then flash Marvel Rom - which of course you put on your sdcard -.
SFT (= SmartFlashTool, for flashing a firmware easily)
Btw to use that tool you need of course our phone's drivers installed.

Yes it is what I did.
Is any other way to install CMW?
Even in the tutorial said: "Then you need to install CWM (Clock Work Mod), you can do this e.g. by downloading ROM Manager, install it, open it
and find Install Clockwork Mod Recovery. Hit it, wait some seconds and click LGE optimus Black. Wait again, till the file has been downloaded and installed and your all set Now you can reboot into Recovery, with the second option. It says, what it does: Reboot to recovery"
But I tried also reboot using the option "Reboot to recovery" and the phone reboot and reset with factory defaults.
How can I use other way?
Thanks

In the tutorial it says that for Gingerbread rom.
I don't remember if it is in Ilko or NOOBY's thread but you should use SFT to flash a patched Gingerbread rom. Since it is rooted and with CMW, it may be easier to you for flashing another rom from that.

Back on track.
I made it. I installed the Marvel G, but my problem still maintains (I use BeyondPod) and in the podcast folder appears a lot of corrupt files), I don´t see any change from stock ROM, but I think this is the objective of this ROM.
But now I am ready and prepared to install all ROMS I Want using the CMW, and install from zip file.
I will continue testing some ROMS.
Witch ROM do you recomend? I don´t need fancy style or other complicated thing, I just need what a stable, low consumption batery, and fast thing.
Once again thanks a lot for the help
