How to delete CM9?

I'm using Optimus X2 on CM9 now and I want to revert back to stock.
Problems I faced are unable to use front camera, camcorder and the camera freezing after a few uses and I have to restart the phone.
The build is great, but I just NEED the camcorder and front camera function. Call me stupid for not reading before upgrading (got my bro to upgrade for me on impulse) and now we can't revert to stock because the phone is not connecting to computer at all.
The phone can be connected by USB as a Portable Media drive but cannot be detected when drivers are used.
This is driving me to wits end ): Even my brother couldn't get it to go back to stock after trying for an hour.. I just want to go back to Gingerbread 2.3.4 (came with the phone)
I need help guys. Desperate.
Thank you all so much in advanced.

Oh to add on, any solution that requires me to connect to the computer now doesn't work at all. Because the phone cannot be detected by drivers. Gah.
It's not that CM9 isn't good. I just really need the camcorder function.
):

You have clockwork mod installed I assume? (Not sure if you can even install cm9 without it but thought I'd check )
Just go to the development section and find a stock ROM, and flash it using CM7. If your phone isn't detected in storage mode then transfer it over Wifi, software data cable is good for FTP, Airdroid has a pretty GUI and super easy to use.

Is there any way I can return the phone to baseband instead?

if you want to go completely to stock, you can use NV flash.
it contains stock FROYO Rom and recovery, you can flash a gingerbread ROM afterwards.
find it in my dropbox :

Thanks for your reply. I see that you are hosting V10b. Mine is V20C. Would there be a problem??

nope it's okay, if you don't mind use smartflash but you will wipe all data back to normal again

Prepare the P990 for the ICS update

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
But custom recovery remained.

[Q] LG P990 Stock ICS by harsh & tonyp - Questions!

Since I'm new in the forums I can't post in the Development area this question, anyone knows if after you install the lite version (the one that runs with GB bootloader) you can go back from ICS to GB without making any special mod or change?
You know, just turn off the phone, power it on while pressing vol. down key and using CWM to install your old GB ROM.

i sould stay with the atrix as its newer only thing the razr has is more internal storage as for the roms you can flash any of them really but i would stick with the newer roms.

Honestly, there really isn't. Each rom has its own little quirky issues.
PAC has no gps and a goofy Hangouts crash, wifi doesn't like to connect after the screen comes on (turn off then back on)
AOSPA works fine for some, not for others, no wifi for some
Slim has no gps, radio signal is bad, random wifi disconnects (fix like PAC usually, sometimes needs reboot)
CM10.1 gps...
All may have occasional lag, wifi issues, gps issues, random bluetooth issues, no camcorder, no HDR camera -- regular and panorama work
Its hit or miss at the moment. One nightly will be fine, next has crap battery, next has better battery but image banding...
None of them suck, but they might not be for you if you dislike development roms that may be incomplete or have a bug or two. Really depends if the bug is a deal breaker or not.

I still go back to clean ROM or the 4.1.2 mex jb ROM everything works and the batt life is a lot better . Also you can install cwm through ROM manager in the play store . Just use the photon q version . I have been able to flash every ROM with it . Make sure you back up b4 you start installing ROMs .

How to get back to GB from ICS?

Guys, I need to go back to stock rom 2.3, currently I'm with the ROM ICS (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076882&highlight=stock+ics) with the new bootloader, I wonder if I can install the stock rom 2.3 by smartflashtool directly or need to do some other procedure?

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.
