[Q] Super reset? - LG Optimus 4X HD

Hello everybody! I flashed on my LGP880 the rom eternity(cm10.1) and now i want to come back to stock rom. for me was v10f. but i don't know how because i haven't any PC now and i can't flash the file .kdz
Today i tried to make reset from original recovery but nothing changed and at reboot was again CMboot(eternity rom).
So, i want to ask: there is a way to make fullreset for come back in stock rom ( v10f without root and recovery)?

The only way is to flash .kdz

Or you may go back with cwm backup which was taken before cm install. Don't know wether it work.

If you had taken the stock backup before installing custom rom, you can install the recovery apk form this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2123602&page=10 , install it as normal apk, reboot into recovery and restore with your backup.
It worked for me perfectly

There s a way to make Super Reset on 4X HD, but after a super reset guss what comes...
An ULTRA Reset which is basically vol- and Powering 0n the device.
After an ULTRA Reset if you are not satisfied with the results, you can try making an ULTIMATE RESET, by downloading v10h firmware and flashing it with tool called KDZ.
You can find many tutorials about this on the General section on this forum.

You previous system doesnt exist anymore.
Only way to get back to any stock LG Rom is sadly the pc-kdz way

From Cyanogen 2.2.1 to stock 2.1 -LG540

It looks like that simple flash via official LG tool from Windows cannot revert to stock Android 2.1 from 2.2.1. LG540 stuck after first animation.
I guest that is (was) because recovery image was written somewhere in rom, and only few roms can be used in that combination ( fastboot euro 2.1)
Can somebody tell to me: how to remove recovery.img , reset LG to orginal state so Windows flash can flash stock Android 2.1. ( gold card) ?
Thanks for any reply.
if you still have clockwork installed then you can just reflash the backup of 2.1 that we were all told to make before we installed 2.2.1
Yes, that is one solution, but I DONT WONT fastboot, or clockwork moded firmwares. I wont original LG software.
And I wont original flash procedure from LG ( from windows)
first: recover your 2.1 (with fastboot, recovery and etc. )
second: then flash phone with original lg ROM
Not working I tried that combination several times
i'll upload my recovery from 2.1 and try that. (about in 10 minutes)
Ps. have you tryed to flash with kdz updater too ?
Waiting for your recovery
Yes, the whole point is that after you put Clockwork moded 2.1 there is no chance to make flash with KDZ uploader ( and that is what I need)
I dont know what that clockrecovery mode write to memory of LG , but it is obivious that KDZ cannot erase that. And for that reason after successful flash from KDZ uploader LG540 is stuck after animation. But as soon I re-flashed LG with clockwork recovery it starts to work again. So reason must be in that rom.
hmm. it takes more than 10 minute :S shows about...hour (220mb)
220MB?
Hm, normal roms have size about 140 MB, you have monster
i know that. i have several apps installed on it. when you dont want them. then wipe from clockworkmod to factory reset.
but. i've just tryed to recover my backup from 2.2.1 (cm6.1.1) to this 2.1 and it booted up as normal.

You say you try to recover your backup from 2.2.1 to 2.1. How you do that?
Via KDZ tool?
no, via clockworkmod ...
i was saying , that the recover from 2.2.1 to 2.1 worked with this backup
read my third post
.. but I DONT WONT fastboot, or clockwork moded firmwares. I wont original LG software.

yes, i agree that. flash this recovery then try to flash original 20B with kdz updater
i'm updateing right now my phone to original 2.1 with lg mobile support tool
Your backup has sd part and I dont have sd partition on card: so does it will work?
how i've just downgraded from 2.2.1 to 2.1:
1) recovered my backup from 2.1 (yes i know that it's a big recovery, because i have several apps installed on it, but it doesn't matter, you can do wipe/factory reset if you want)
http://www.multiupload.com/86OZ7RA1W5
2)now connected my phone to pc and installed lg mobile support tool(this gived me drivers too ) (from lg site)
3)now i've "upgraded" my phone via "lg mobile support tool"
4) and now, i'm on official 2.1 rom
yeah. that's ok when appears error with sd-ext
Just now I use same technuiqe: hope will work.
It looks like that KDZ updater is less powerfull then suport tool, but I have still to wait and see if Updater tool will finish flashing
DIDNOT WORK
hmm. that's interesting. for me worked.
Now I will try to use your backup: so need to instal fastboot and clockwork recovery rom: then I will wipe all, use yours backup: and then follow your instruction.
Does you flash Blackquatrx ROM ( or something like that)?
It look like that one of those installation erase original boot image, and that will be whole problem, to revert original boot.img from untouched LG540 2.1

[Q] Stock Bootloader

Hi there,
Not long ago i got a P970 and proceeded to root it and install CWM on my device using an all in one solution from this site, unfortunately it didn't seem to create a backup of the stock bootloader and i am unable to perform updates to the device as they all try to boot in to the stock bootloader to finish the update process which is ofc missing, does anyone have a copy of the stock bootloader for the P970, incase its of relevance i'm using one in the UK on the Orange network
I thank you in advance for any replies
Bump anyone got a copy of the bootloader?
If you flash stock vanilla rom it will overwrite CWM with stock.

Couple of small issues is that i dont want to lose everything i've installed and setup so far and the only images i can find of the stock ROM's are .kdz files which use the LG tools to flash and those require me to be able to boot to the standard software update tool found on the phone which doesn't seem to work with CWM installed as i can't do any OTA updates either.
dude, I already answered to you by pm. this cannot be saved, you have to flash again to recover the standard loader. AND, you don't have to boot or something else except going in s/w mode. just backup your apps / datas with 3nd party app then restore them after the flash. standard recovery is absolutely uneeded and is even useless. you might restore full datas with cwm by going into the advanced menu.

[Q] Rollback from CM 10.1 to Official LG Stock 4.1?

I'm experiencing some problems and would like to go back to the stock rom. Currently on 10.1 Nightlies
Would I have to use this tool? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723
I can keep the custom recovery right?
I have no idea how to do this though. All I have is the original EUR 20A kdz file.
Thanks.
No CWM backup?

No CWM backup before CM install? You can just restore or otherwise you have to use that tool. You can install CWM again after kdz flash. It wouldn't be a problem.
Remember you have to remove and reinsert battery or otherwise you may not be able to get into S/W mode and you also get BSOD on pc.
I also had probs on CM 10.1 RC2.
Just wipe it, then start from scratch.
Hi,
I would just reflash by doing a full wipe, restore a full backup of lg stock, then doing a factory reset and wipe to have a clean rom. But be careful not to wipe any backups you have its always best to keep them on external storage.
There is always the option of using the LG tool to factory reset the phone (enter sw upgrade mode then plug it into the computer.. follow the instructions in one of the mean threads on the subject.. liek http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723). The only real problem is data loss. Use a app to backup sms first. i like to use this one - and backup to external storage.

I would just use the LG tool to reset the phone, after doing a wipe.
Cant wait for the next android verson that could come with cloud backups

If you want to go back to stock OS with a clean install, the best is LGFlash Tool.
Remember that will wipe everything in the internal memory.
Next time (if you like to try other OS and change between them often) backup your
OS with CWM.

Re-installing OS -- Help Needed

Hello,
I am on latest stock firmware, and want to completely erase my phone and install a fresh copy of latest OS.
Now, I am not at all feeling comfortable in flashing myself as I am having limited knowledge and I fear I will end up screwing phone.
If I visit Samsung service center, they just reset the phone... when told to install fresh copy of OS.
So, what to tell them so they understand that I want all old OS related things to be deleted and install a fresh copy of OS. Also what I have to see to make sure they are indeed doing what I am saying... what will screen display ?
Sum pointers plz.

Pointers:
1. Install a philz kernel.
2. Wipe all the partitions after that.
3. Download the stock firmware from sammobile.com or Dr Ketans thread from XDA (this thread also has instructions/how-to for how to flash using odin)
4. Use odin to flash stock rom in download mode.
Before you proceed and make any mistake read about all the above and understand the risk associated.
LOL. ok ill try not to laugh
goto settings about phone. check your version ... there may not be a update.
restart your phone "hold volume up and the menu button" when u get to factory recovery. use the "wipe/factory reset" that is as close as your going to get, (without using a custom rom). once done. u can goto the same "settings / about phone" and check "software update". if there is an update, you can download and apply it from there.
also check you have enough battery life before doing this.

Cant I just go to settings and under backuo & reset --> factory data reset.
Is the this the same as the method u suggested above ?
First of all make sure wat u want to do, if updated stock firmware is wat u want then reset your phone and then update it if there is any.. this is the safe mode.
Now the other option u got is root it, install cmw, install kernel, n lastly custom ROM it will allow you to change CPU frequency and much more.. choose any custom ROM its olwAys better in the most criterias. But if you wanna stick to the stock ROM. . Just reset it.

yes, almost the same, except. none of the files will be in use. if you use the restart method.
actually i think if you do the FACTORY reset from the phone while its booted. it will just restart and do the same "recovery" method? right?
sorry been a while since i did booted WIPE.
@ sushantp606
judging from the responses and stuff here. I am thinking this user is not at the stage to consider the stuff you posted, they are only after a basic wipe and update of the rom.
The problem is everybody always speak abt wipe... I don't wana wipe, I wana install fresh clean copy of latest official OS.

The only way I was able to go back from a KK Rom was to go to back to GB 2.3.6 first and then up from there.
I dont know if you did the same as me when installing a KK but I loaded up CM10.2 (or CM11) fist so as to upgrade the CWM and increase the partition as they recommend. I guess this has to be undone, and the best way is with ODIN and 2.3.6. I re-rooted and everything afterwards. Hope it works for you its only another 10 mins.
Actually there is a quicker way because I had to go back to JB from KK and doing this worked.
Simply flash a JB kernel first then your corresponding Rom and gapps.

I usually go back to a stock rom before trying something new - and most of the time I run into less problems. If you want to stay rooted and continue using custom roms, you might go with this:

i agree i always flash back to stock then flast dbdata file to sort out errors with partitions. then flash any other rom i require afterwards:laugh:
