[Q] Help !! Cannot go back to the stock FW

I've following the step using RSDLite and flash the GOT 2.2 to my MS. Later on when I want to flash my stock FW by RSD but I CANNOT! Why?

The RSD said erase flash fail...why?

Flashed from 2.3.3 back to stock with Odin3 and lost 3button!

Looking in the About phone area it says my Kernel is 2.6.29 [email protected] #2 which i'm assuming isn't a stock Kernel. I can't get into download mode or recovery to save my life. Any good ways to get it back? Everything I've tried doesn't work. I'm curious about this android sdk adb access thing but I haven't been able to search about it. Thankfully my phone works right now but the only way i know how to flash stuff it through the key method.
Any links to a tutorial about this adb thing? ALso, where to download the android-sdk?
Thank you thank you thank you!

wrong section

WRong thread but dont wanna flame... : D
This happens some time, just flash this and you will have 3 button recovery again.
EDIT: STUPID ME, just realized you cannot get into recovery... Well use ADB to get into Recovery then flash that

Android SDK - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Make sure u have Java JDK installed! - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Sorry idk about a good ADB tutorial though

That is a stock kernel.

1. This is a stock kernel
2. Which 3-button combo did you try? It can be either +-USB or -Power

I can't get into download mode or recovery mode. I've flashed quite a few different roms since i've had this phone and never had a problem. For some reason this time when I went from MikeyMike01's GR-12 2.3.3 back to stock with Odin3, I lost the ability to use my volume buttons + power to go anywhere. I was trying to install CWM to put Serendipity 6.4 on my phone because the other one was having some weird issues.
Thanks to everybody else for the links I'll try them when I get home... work is blocking the android sdk download website. I'll update in a bit with success (hopefully).

If all else fails, you could extract the 3 button fix posted above, and odin.
No buttons working? Pull batt, open odin, insert usb, reinsert bat, and it should go into download mode..

skip all that .... if it boots upto OS and you just have no 3 button..... Use This
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944418 and flash 3 button with it. Access to recovery or dl mode not needed. Just be sure to follow the instructions with the tool. It works. Simple.

Moved to proper forum.

before i tell you an easy way to get into recovery, was this odin "oneclick" or did you have to add a .tar file to a "PDA" slot and perhaps a .pit file and others? this is highly important because 3-button fix only flashes the secondary bootloader. if you still have 2.3.3 bootloaders this will brick the phone! there needs to be an update to the 3-button fix to flash both bootloaders. a quick test if you have 2.3.3 bootloaders is if the phone says "galaxy s gt-i9000" you may have 2.3.3 bootloaders on the phone. on 2.3.3 this screen is part of the bootloaders as well as the param.ifs, flashing 2.1 without the bootloaders will show the i9000 splash before the att param.ifs splash
if it was odin oneclick you are safe to flash a 3-button fix. if it was odin full you may still be on the 2.3.3 bootloaders and dont have button combos due to some incompatablility with the phone, i saw this once. please use odin oneclick first then see if it still needs 3-button fix.
if you need to reflash with odin "oneclick"
look up "adb" make sure you know how to manually install drivers. there are links in posts above
if you did flash with oneclick then you can also root and use rom manager to reboot into recovery. then flash 3-button fix via update.zip. search dev section for designgears' 3-button fix, there is a update.zip version.

why do u need the three button here...just hold down the volume key and the power button to get in to the recovery. worked for me.

I used Odin oneclick to reset it to stock. I've been moving this weekend so I just left the phone on 2.1 but today at work i'll try the method you mentioned above. I didn't even think about rom manager to reboot to recovery i'll try that first. I was trying to reboot the phone into recovery so I could install CWM. Sounds easier than the other methods.

[Q] im lost????

i'm trying to figure out how to just get to where i can flash a rom, my phone is sgh-I897 running 2.2 froyo.uckb1
if i have read some of the stickys right i need to use odin to flash back to stock or flash a different kernel is this correct? to get around the 2e-3e sig.verif.
could someone please point me in the right direction? from what i can tell there are alot of ways to do this or maybe not??? which is the safest or shortest..
thanks to any that can help me out.....

Yes, you need to get past the stock 3e recovery before you can do anything.
Method 1) simple, easy. Use the script from the 3e sticky in general section (post 3 from TRusselo) to patch from your computer. Then you can flash CWM (through update.zip or ROM manager on the market if you are rooted), and flash any number of FroYo ROMs. NOTE: you cannot flash a GB ROM from FroYo.
Method 2) kill fly via sledgehammer, possible risk, and 3-button problems later depending on build number of phone. Put phone in download mode (power off, hold volume up and down, plug in USB) flash via Odin back to 2.1 stock. (Different Odin will fix 3button if you know it will be an issue) then flash CWM, and flash FroYo ROM desired. Odin *can* brick your phone if something goes wrong; cable unplugs, battery removed, etc.
Im sure there are more ways, but those are the most common and easiest.
Recovery is in the kernal, so a new kernal will fix, but you have to replace or mod the 3e recovery before you can flash a new kernal.
My suggestion is the windows script file, its easiest, and can't brick your phone.

this is false. you can flash a kernel in ODIN and completely bypass 3e recovery altogether.
there are several kernels that are ODIN ready......

Read the before flash posts, then read them again. It will save you a ton of headaches down the road. And almost every rom has step by step instructions-read these next.

Please search before opening a new thread. All of this is in the threads. On a side note. A fast way is not the safe way, and the safe way is not fast. Think about what you are doing, do you really want to rush it?

[Q] How to convert a CM10.1 (ZIP)Rom to fls and bin?

Hello every one
I have been almost all the weekend workin on a LG970 with a stock rom 4.0.4 baseband 30b.
Cound'nt even make the root, can some one help?
First problem can't enter in the recovery mode, I try all that is to try, (youtube viedos, step by step, adb command) and nothing.
At a certain point I had a boot error (security error), after discharge 333mb off a KDZ firmware V30B_00_EU.kdz I converted to fls and bin and finaly I achieve to flash the device with the smartflash. This was the only way I could do something on the device.
So my question is, the same way I do to install the KZD file, is it possible to install other rooms ?
Thanks

You have to unlock the bootloader in v30b before you flash any recovery.

Can someone please give a link for STOCK LG D950G Phone Firmware D950G20C_00 ROGERS

Bought an LG G FLEX that has the wrong software/firmware installed and modem/imei/baseband is not working! Would like to flash using flash tool, I can only get into download mode, and not recovery (it's not going in with power and vol down, using ROM/TWRP while booted to restart into recovery it gives me an error) so only way of doing it using flash tool, tot and dll file is needed, I have tried using the AT&T version but it says wrong model. The phone was rooted, but cant flash other roms or wipe because I cant go into recovery, so stock is best option! I can't find any good links online on xda, or google! but one in chinese and can't understand a thing!
please provide me with a working link for : LG D950G Phone Firmware D950G20C_00 ROGERS tot and dll
MUCH MUCH appreciated!
