I have rooted my device, installed the clockworkmod and Cyanogenmod 7.2
As far as I know you can't install a original firmware update on a rooted device.
So what do I need to do to prepare it for the ICS update?
Superoneclick unroot? will that do the trick?
Unroot
Yes super one click will unroot your phone. But you must flash it with an original 2.3 stock version if you want to use LG tools to upgrade it. Another way to get it is to download the .kdz ROM when it will be released and put it on your device.
Anyway, until now, only the SU660 -the korean version of the o2x- is getting upgrades... Patience
The best is to keep it this way and flash one of the modded stock ROM ....

What do you mean by upgrade.. I just said that when official Ics will be there, devs will make modded official Ics based roms... So you'll be able too upgrade from a modded ROM to another.

Ah okay, I thought you ment upgrading the official rom with LG-tool.
My Advice is to wat for the kernel source release.
It is said to be released 2 weeks afther the LG update.
Parandroid for O2x already has LG UI 3.0 + JB flavour. The only thing that lacks is video recording, hw acceleration and proprably other minor stuff.
So till the end of October, there will probably be CM9/CM10 release for O2x.
Hello,
How many time, in your opinion, after official release a zip cwm flashable official based ics will be aviable ? it's soooo easy to flash by this way (last time I flashed an official rom I was forced to use the ftp server method , worked well but ....)
Thanks

as soon as the official release will be out, for now be patient :laugh:, the devs on this site can produce a modded stock rom that can be flashed in cwm, just like v20q. till then we have to wait :silly:
I did use CWM to flash this: v20q.zip file (stock firmware GB) and did factory reset everything.
I can still acces the special boot menu when holding the power button and vol down button.
But I don't think the device is rooted?
Is that true?
I installed a memory cleaner app and it told me that my device is not rooted so I can't acces all the options.
So flashing v20q.zip file also unroots the phone?
Seems to be

You already have gingerbread bootloaders.

CM7 is a customisation based on gingerbread .A bootloader is code that is executed before any Operating System starts to run.Every Android phone has a bootloader that instructs the operating system kernel to boot normally and every manufacturer has their own version of bootloader specific for the hardware present in it’s environment.
Yes you will be able to flash your chosen rom.
You will also need Nexus drivers installed on your computer after flashing.
thank you, aaaaaaaaaaaand could i go back to cm7 rom again?

as far as i know you will need to use odin to flash the stock rom and the the cm7...
a friend of mine tried to go back from ICS to cm7 by nandroid (was too lazy to use odin) and bricked his phone even the download mode didn't work for him...
he needed to use the USB jack to get in to the download mode again...
Yeah like Mich says its always better to go back to a stock rom before going custom. I am using team hacksung (cm9 beta)and it says to flash back to cm7 you just flash rom twice.

because cm7 requires froyo or gingerbread bootloaders(like i said above it is built around gingerbread)
you now have a rom that is built around ics.

Yes, ok, So now i can flash to other ICS roms, but not to GB or froyo(etc) based ROMs. In case i'd like to flash back to froyo or gingerbread based rom, I'd have to use Odin(do you know any tutorial for that?), flash a stock rom, root it, and install-it by CWM recovery (would ODIN delete the CMM recovery?).
CAN I?

Ive been seeking without results and i know its easy.
How do i install a kernel (semaphore ics)?! Do i have to rename it?
Odin and Stock roms
Google Odin 1.83 and download it along with your stock Rom from sammobile.com then follow the Instructions on that site to reinstall stock from and bootloaders . Its very easy took me 20minutes the first time and now I can do it during the break in the Simpson lol
Can anyone recommend a stock ROM and whatever other files needed (firmware/recovery, etc.) to return a used N7000 to stock?
I'm on my way to buying one from someone and probably will test out the CM10 installed on it, but in case it isn't very stable I want to return to the stock ROM.
I'm not a complete noob, but I know there are particularities to each device, and trying to figure out if it's as simple as finding the latest stock ROM posted here on the forum and flashing that with ODIN or whatever...
Thanks.
You can give a try to gingerbread.and then can flash cm10.and can return back also to stock.
I wouldnt Recommend you ics.

yes for OTA you need to have stock ROM.
You can directly flash latest ROM, so at least you need not to go for OTA soon.

Not true.. You indeed have to have stock kernel/rom/recovery but superuser/supersu are just apks.. So you can update being rooted and pray the process doesn't unroot your device.. But it won't prevent the ota upgrade

You will still be able to use CM 10/CM10.1....forgot to tell you that...you can use the GB in as you are in Old bootloader and GB partition.
But, can I ask you why you want to swtich over? If it is to return the device, then google V10 Stock ROM NVFlash from Paul from Modaco site. That will be a perfect GB Stock ROM without any extra effort and also the old boot loader+GB partition all in one go.
You can also try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472515 Civato makes almost near to Stock ROM and perfectly smooth&stable.
Hope this helps you and maybe you can PM if you need any more help.

I connected my phone to my PC it didn't stuck anymore. It worked fine. What's the problem? I'm new to this phone. Do I have to install MIUI 6 first?
