Hey.
For long time ago i flashed my phone and removed the regular LG factory recovery(stupid). Now i wanted to clean my phone and get all back to factory settings. I need step-by-step to do this. Would be great if someone could help me!
Regards painbringR
Download the official stock ROM from LG:
1. type http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=XX....XX in address bar of your browser. replace XX....XXX with your IMEI number, you can find it from your handset (Settings-->About Phone-->Status).
2. browser will return a long string which contains a URL of a .kdz file (look for http://........kdz). copy that URL and put it in browser address bar and save that .kdz file to your disk. this kdz file is the most updated stock ROM for your phone.
Read following post and follow it step by step (You already have your ROM file so you don't have to download it again) then your phone will back to stock ROM. You can do a factory reset after flash if you want.

Good luck!
To flash a .kdz, you need stock recovery, so that wont help.
I think Smartflash can do it though. Failing that, use this to revert to stock recovery: http://android.modaco.com/topic/336320-4-apr-r1-stock-recovery-image
Ps. You don't need stock recovery to do a factory reset, custom ones can do it too.
Well, it works for me. I flash my phone back to V10f (my original ROM file) followed that post, then flash to V20 ROM, and again flash back to V10f, then update to V20d using LG Mobile Tools. No error at all.

INSTALLED Darky's v5.2 Gingerbread Edition VIA CWM AND WHEN START TO BOOT MY SON TURNED IT OFF ,
NOW I CANT GET INTO RECOVERY ONLY DOWNLOAD MODE WORKING HOW TO FIX THAT
had no lagfix before install and flashed the phone before wit diferent roms without any problem
If your phone is able to go into Download mode, you should be fine.
You can use odin to flash stock eclair 2.1 onto your SGS. If you're not too sure how, have a look around the forum and there should be plenty of advice on how to go about it.
If, somehow, you can't find anything, reply here again and I'll see if I can help you out.
I haven't done the same thing but the result is pretty much the same, stuck with a boot loop after installing Bell provided Android 2.2 upgrade. I can now only get into download mode, could you guide me where I can the instruction to load the stock 2.1 firmware that contains the bootloader and where I can download the files so I can try to make it work again. Thanks
Everything you need, you should be able to find on http://www.samfirmware.com , including Odin (the software used for flashing) and some guides.
Be sure to download the firmware for your location ie. Europe, Asia, America.
Read darkys thread. Do the long install. Simple.
Also the first boot with darkys rom takes about ten mins. It says so on install instructions. People panic for no reason because they get impatient
Downloaded the firmware already but it is in a .rar password protected, I am looking for the .tar of the same file I9000UGJH2. Found another site with the .exe but not sure how to use this one with Odin, the exe autoextract, but the file does not contains the .tar file and cannot find the info on how to configure Odin with this. I Will continue my research. Thanks for the info
The password is different depending on which file you downloaded. Go back to samfirmware and see whether the file had a # or ## or neither.
# Pass = samsung-firmwares.com
## Pass = samfirmware.com
Just flash any stock firmware via Odin and you'll be fine.
Thanks all for your assistance, can't wait to leave work and try that.

thanks
i got it working again flashed with odin stock firmware
So i tried flashing a rom with CWM, it all went fine. So i went back to CWM and restore my stock ROM, and i also wanted to get rid of the CWM by flashing Paul's stock recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021554
Now i can't get back into recovery nor the OS itself. The only thing i could do is nvflash since all i can do now is to go to nvflash mode, my phone is a HK ROM v10A, but all i could find was v10b since Modoco is "re-constructing" its website. So here's the question:
1. i nvflashed v10b into my phone, everything was success, but when it was done, its stuck in a bootloop at the LG logo. I re-flash a couple times with success with no errors, but still the same bootloop. What can i do now?
2. Do i have to flash the same 10A rom in order to get back into the OS?
3. I heard nvflash messes with files related to the phone's IMEI, under what circumstance would nvflash corrupt those files and lose my IMEI?
Yes i m an idiot, but please help!!!!

I need help with flashing stock firmware. Well, I flashed my device with some turkish firmware who had 4 files and I did that via Odin. When I realised that I have turkish firmware I downloaded stock version which consists only 1 file and tried to flash my device trough Odin (followed procedure for flashing with one file) and it wont work. All I get is endless reboot loop on my device. What should I do? Please help!

Try again with wipe data/chace and wipe dalvik cache(from advance from in CWM)
Reflesh your stock firmware.
I high recommend you to rewrite stock 2.3.4 XXXXKPI(European)or specific for you region.
Anyway more details in this thread from Sammobile
KPI version have 4 files but was by far best version for me that i've used.
Also be carefull to load corect packs for boot/csc/modem/phone:

If you are european shall not care if it is Turkish or Russian,just change leanguage.
I want to reflash my phone because KIES wont upgrade stock firmware after I flashed with Odin. It says that "this device cannot upgrade over KIES". It's common problem and I heard that people were solving that with reverting original stock firmware for their country. I dont know exactly am I right but I wanna try. Thanx!
Its very buddy, you can search it on this forum. You can find it here.
Hello,
I will start with saying that Ive already checked every tutorial in every android website.
here is what I did.
I had Miui (Not the ICS one) I have tried to flash CM9 with the existing recovery. than something somewhere on the flash procedure go wrong and the phone just rebooted and putted in loop with no recovery option but download option. so I tried to flash the stock rom using odin 1.85, and the phone just looping on the image of the mobile operator. I did this procedure with the odin for more stock roms I found.
thanks in advance really I need your help...

maybe you forget ‘Re-Partition’checkbox, it's important.
Hmmm.. perhaps, you have to make sure all the files are properly placed (depending on the ROM you are installing). Also, I'd recommend using a pit file (and don't forget to click on "Re-Partition".. So far, it worked for me. ^.~
Hello!
I give up! I just can't find a stock KDZ flash file for my P990 Every download link is down.
I am going to use this tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020737
to flash a stock ROM and then update to ICS with the new bootloader.
Every ROM i try has problems with the Kowalski kernel. The phone is just sluggish! So a complete refresh i needed as there are several other issues too.
Can somebody provide me with one? It has to be European Open or danish, right?
Current ROM is the old Topogigi Froyo ROM. But even with that i have trouble.
Hejsa. Det nemt.
Download the attached file, extract it and open the program. Write P990 as model and write down your IMEI without any -
It will download the official ICS for your phone automatically. Then use the AIO Toolkit. Extract it with the tool and then flash with Smartflash - that's the easiest way.
Held og lykke kammerat.
