Hi guys!
I noticed today that there were a system update for my optimus 2x.
But after it downloaded it said validating software package and returned an error stating that the package was invalid..
Has anyone else bumped into this problem? Is it because my phone is rooted?
It is otherwise stock.
Thank you so much for your help!

Okay.
So can i ask how do i unroot the phone using CWM?
I looked at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021554&page=2
it talks about installing a recovery.zip using CWM, but will it unroot the phone or not?
Thanks!
The name says it all and it is sticky in dev section...

Hi and thanks for the answer!
you see, my phone is already rooted. I need to unroot it in order to get the latest update from LG installed on my phone.
The reason for this is that when i download the update OTA and try to install it, i get an error message stating that i have a invalid software package.
And the reason for this as i understand, is that the phone is rooted.
i have read the roll up thread you linked to, but it does not state anywhere how to unroot the phone. And thats what i need help to do
Use smartflash and put some older version on it, then update it to current version. It will be unrooted.
Thank you for the answer, will try that!
But im struggling a bit to find the older versions though. The links to them are either down or broken. I need the EUR version.
You can flash stock v20q via cwm. If you said that your phone is rooted, install cwm and then flash this stock v20q.
If you want to downgrade, then update using lg update tool, you need smartflash and some older firmware like Euro v10d.
You need to read and search, really, all is here on the site.
At least press the thanks button if my posts are helping you, it is right here.
Thank you for the reply.
I will flash with the v20q one you mentioned. Its the version im trying to upgrade to anyway, så this seems better instead of downgrading it to stock, then upgrading using OTA!

I have been searching for awhile now, and just can't seem to find out what I need. I have a rooted N1 that I was running Kang-O-Roma's Latest Froyo build and Radio on it, but now need to get it back to stock with OTA updates. I flashed a the stock image that I got from the developers section, but still no updates. when the phone downloads an update it just restarts in recovery. I thought I may need to downgrade the radio, but no luck. I baught an Evo and am selling my beloved N1, but the person who baught it wants it completely stock, and able to get updates. he doesn't mind it being rooted if this is possible. Please help.

reboot the phone into bootloader then use the passimg file to return back to stock once this is done it should reboot into 2.1 then leave it alone till u see the update available or use the code to force the update then reboot and it should pop up within a few hours...
The update pops up, It downloads it, it even says what the update includes, but then when it tries to install, it restarts back into recovery mode, and doesnt' install the update. Is the update on the phone somewhere? I still have the froyo radio on the phone, because I cannot find and original Radio update Zip. Adb won't work on my new computer.
Did you get the stock recovery back in there or still using a custom one?
I loaded the stock image found in the developers section under original shipping, but it didn't downgrade the radio. I followed all of the instructions, but still, the update won't install. I have been searching and searching, but still can't come up with a solution.

no problem hope this works!
Ok, this should be my last question on this subject. under about phone it now says:
Model Number-
Nexus One
Firmware version-
2.1 update 1
Baseband version-
32.26.00.24U_4.04.00.03_2
Kernel version-
2.6.29-01117-g4bc62c2
[email protected] #1
Build number-
EPE76
As I recall EPE76 was a leaked ROM
I tried using 22607-ERD79-update-nexusone-stock-signed.zip and renaming it passimg.zip , but that didn't work. am I OK with the EPE76 build or do I need to get the ERD79 build on there to be?
A: get updates, and
B: truly be stock.
thanks again. I had no problem when I was trying cooked roms and updating radios and stuff. go figure this would be the thing to get me stuck.

@OP
If you're still have problems, this thread has all the files you need in the first post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614850
I bought my Nexus One off another member here, and he was kind enough to flash back to the original ERD79 before he sent me the phone but he didn't flash the stock recovery.img. I got the update to Froyo almost immediately after I turned the phone on, but it would not install. After flashing the stock recovery.img the OTA installed just fine

go root to 2.2 or 2.1.update 1 first then use it okay..
Now that you mention it I do remember seeing something about that, while I was searching for an answer to this dilemma. Thanks again, I'll let you know.

Wow I feel like a horse's ass for asking this but it's probably been a year since the last update I flashed, and I've googled and googled for info but I'm googled out. I also checked the dev section but I dont see what I'm looking for so forgive my stupid question: I'm getting the incessant 2.3.6 OTA notification so I need to update to 2.3.6, I'm on 2.3.4 I think it's a stock version. I tried flashing the 2.3.6 update zip that i downloaded, that didn't work and from what I think I remember that was a stupid thing to try anyway. I'm pretty sure I'm looking for a full 2.3.6 stock rom/build/zip, but I've had no luck in my search. Basically I just want the latest rooted full stock rom to flash. My bootloader is unlocked or I would honestly just unroot and install the OTA, I've no use for root anymore anyway. Can anyone throw me a bone? Thanks

or
if you want back to stock, flash this (in recovery or in HBOOT as PASSIMG.ZIP, whichever way you want):

Awesome, I appreciate your help
Hi,
I've just got my P7300 repaired by an official Samsung repairer. I have the feeling, though, that they installed a non-stock firmware on the tablet as I cannot update anymore. When trying to update OTA, I get an error message that suggest using Kies. When I use Kies, I get this message:
"Your device does not support upgrading via Kies"
Before sending it out for repair, I was able to update to Android 3.2. Now I'm stuck with 3.1 and the device performance is really poor. Going through Samsung support, at least here in Italy, is hell and takes forever (like two months...).
Therefore, I would like to flash a stock firmware on this device so as to fix the issue myself. I've read the guide in the forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406137) but I must say I'm quite lost...
I don't understand where to find stock firmware for the P7300 nor do I understand how to flash it... Is Odin the way to go? What if the flashing doesn't work? Will I be able to revert to the crappy firmware I have now?
Sorry for the long post and thanks for any help.
Alessandro.

Lost? That guide's as clear as day. Are you sure you read it? Make sure you read carefully, because I do address your issue in the guide in a very short and easy to understand way. Also yes, you need to use ODIN. Read the FAQ and then the How-To. You will find the link to download your preferred firmware (which in fact is mentioned twice) and tools.

Must be kind of a cloudy day, then. I mean, you've certainly done a great work with the guide and following up with all your replies, but I guess I need to look for more info. Thanks anyway.
I have been reading this website and several others over the last few days and last night decided to give rooting a go. Trouble is - I am not sure where to begin.
Last night I tried downloading Philz kernel - PhilZ-cwm6-DXLR5-OLB-v2.7 since my kernel version is 3.0.15-n7000dxlr5-cl968032.
I then followed these instructions:
Download xxx-signed.zip kernel matching your ROM
Put the previously downloaded xxx-signed.zip file on your external sd card
Boot into stock recovery (volume up+home+power)
Select "apply update from external storage".
Now select the xxx-signed.zip file you copied in previous step
You are rooted + new PhilZ-cwm6 kernel with CWM6
What I got was a message like - signature authorization failed.
Not sure what to do next and would appreciate some guidance.
I am doing this basically because Ive decided to keep this phone a little longer, learn about rooting and try my hand at experimenting some of the custom roms.
Again appreciate any assistance / guidance anyone might be willing to provide
thank you
Is this the one you tried?
http://d-h.st/o9X
yes... i think that is it
download using phone browser. the move it to ext sd and try again..
case sensitive link.... my bad
Obviously Not. The link i posted links to the kernel. It should be downloading the kernel.
same result..... signature verification failed
The otherday I use PhilZ 3.99 for LR5 from his thread in ori dev. It works fine.

Like I said... im new to this, but the instructions seem simple enough (as above). Wish I could get it to work for me....
I saw you are using ver 2.7. On the PhilZ he has 3.99 for lr5. It worked for me.
Sent from my phone.
i am downloading the 3.99 version now - see how it goes
tried 3.99 and get the same result -- signature verification failed
Strange. Maybe check if there a box in the stock recovery that can be ticked or unticked? Otherwise, check other root method from dr.ketan sticky at android dev thread. Many easy method, even an apk that root.
Sent from my phone.
dont know if this is relevant to the issue, but here it goes
About a month ago, I let the phone update some software - didnt really pay attention what it was updating as i was working.
Later that day i noticed my company email was not coming through. I raised a ticket with IT and received a response after looking into my case stating that the company does not allow rooted devices to access the email system. I found this strange because I had never tried to root the device. Is it possible that somehow an update occurred that rooted my phone?
Im aware that there are several ways to root, but again, im new to this would appreciate further guidance that might help me get this phone rooted.
thanks again
I would try method 0 and 1B from dr.ketan thread below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18978158
Let us know how it goes.

willing to try these methods - if i start with method 0, how do i go about flashing with a safe kernel?
i have read quite a bit about kernel issues for 4.0.4 so just dont want to create a serious issue

once rooted, use mobile odin to flash tar.md5 version of philz kernel, not zip
ok.... im rooted - thanks to both of you for the assistance.
now.... im rooted at 4.0.4. If i want to install a custom rom say for 4.2 or 4.3, I guess I need to root to the appropriate operating system. how does this process work? do i need to first flash to a safe kernel?
bear with me.... this is very complicated for my non-IT brain : )
The most reliable roms now are still stockbased custom roms 4.12. Other newer roms are still experimental. I like Sweet rom 10.5. You need to read instructions for rom flashing from the rom thread.
Sent from my phone.
i have downloaded the following files to computer and getting ready to place them on my phone:
PhilZ-cwm6-DXLR5-OLB-3.99.tar.md5
MobileODIN_FlashKernel_N7000-v3.0
MobileODINLite-v3.85.apk
Is there any special instructions i need to be aware of for mobile odin? I assume i just run the apk program and follow instructions from there to get my safe kernel flashed?
I see there are a lot of articles saying how this should be done but at least in my case I haven't had luck with any of them.
After you read this you must realize I'm a noob on this.
I have ICS 4.0.4 Stock Firmware from TELCEL, Mexico and I'm having no luck getting the custom ROM installed or at least downgrade I think it will be better. The main problem with the phone is the battery life and it's slow, all after the phone upgraded to ICS.
I will do anything you guys suggest if you could please point me in the right direction.
A few things I've tried:
I've Rooted the phone using Unlock Root application suggested by one of the post I found here.
I've Installed ROM Manager and flashed the CWM Recovery Touch tool and followed the instructions to use a Zip, I was trying with the Zeuz Gingerbread ROM I downloaded from here but after the phone reboots all I get is "LG logo saying SECURITY ERROR"
Anyone has gone through this issue?
BTW: after the LG Security Error I have to get into S/W Upgrade and run the LG Mobile Support Tool to let it flash the stock firmware again.

The boot loader is locked. There are a number of tutorials on how to unlock it, but you need the original Froyo or Gingerbread ROM images from LG. Locating those seems to be the tough part. You downgrade to the earlier version, then you unlock.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction
