My friend wants to revert his phone back to stock from CM7 after getting tired of the bugs that are still in CM7. Unfortunately, I can't find any backup of the stock ROM that he used to have on his CWM. After googling a bit I couldn't find any more information about how to revert, since everyone suggested that i simply restored from the former backup. If there is a way to revert without it, it would be awesome if anyone of you can point me in the right direction about how I should do that!

I've tried to open SmartFlash, but it didn't recognize the phone even though I used the LG drivers that was linked to in the guide.
I even tried to flash the ROM found in this thread/reply but only ending up in a boot loop. Is this because of some EXT3/EXT4 format problems...?
Anyways, have reverted back to CM7 now and are still looking for help...
You could flash the latest leaked stock V20o from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408919 - using CWM.
revert from cm7 to stock
.i used smartflash but im still on caynogenmod 7.2 so there is nothing happend
what to do
If you used smartflash you can't be on cm7 anymore. There must have been an error during process and flash had abort before the end.
Just redo it, and be sure you phone was correctly detected.
And try eventually nvflash to come back to stock ROM. See dedicated threads.
I used the link provided by nundoo and it worked. Thanks for all your suggestions!
Striatum_bdr, I didn't do anything to the phone with smart flash because I couldn't start the process (the button was grayed out and I couldn't select a COM port). Thanks anyways!
Hello,
first a brief intro...i am not an android developer but I am a user and I love the OS.
However i have had a little trouble with the small issue of backing up stock ROM so that i can have the freedom to tinker with any custom ROM possible knowing that i can always fall back to my stock ROM if I don't like anything or something doesn't work.
I have the original ROM so i can flash it back whenever but not everyone has access to their stock ROM. so you must make a choice that once you flash a custom ROM, you cant go back.
So i am calling out to all the nice developers in the house...
1. Is this possible. is there a way one can do a backup of the stock ROM in the galaxy mini?
2. If its not possible at the moment, is there anyone willing to work towards ensuring its possible?
Like I said, I am not a developer but i could help in any little way i can to work with any willing developer towards achieving this.
Thanks.
yess is possible to backup your rom juste install ROM MANAGER and clic on backup is simple you can find it on android marcket ^^
I would not personally suggest Rom Manager since there are a lot of cases here that it bricked the phone. It is possible to backup your stock rom with cwm recovery. The problem is it can't be restored via the same recovery. This is a limitation of cwm. So Odin is still the best option to restore stock roms.. I do hope that restoring stock roms can be made possible thru cwm..

Have you actually backed up your stock rom using cwm?I have tried and each time i get an error that it couldnt mount the /system. And am seeking assistance to develop a means to back up and restore Stock ROMs in SGM.
with custom kernel with suport ext4 and convert rfs partition to ext4 partition you can backup your stock rom.
only need flash custom kernel. after that you can backup the rom.
galaxy S user have CF-root kernel for each rom. CF-root do this and root your phone and install CWR.
but for mini no any CF-root kernel
.i have changed my CWM by another one find here with godell thread I use "CWM5028.zip"
Dude, don't you try Rom Manager, it may brick your phone. CWM can't make stock rom backups as far as I know.

to make the backup of stock rom recovery is needed to be modded for work on bml partition layout it should also be compatible with rfs partitions

Hello, I'd like to update my phone using Smartflash.
I have an official V20B rom which is rooted. I would like to install a new official rom but i'm completely lost when it comes to choosing the right version !
Where can I get the official V20S stock rom (which can be installed with smartflash)
Also, is there any official ICS rom ? (same, for smartflash), if so, is it fully stable ? Where can I get it ? (LG Mobile update says my phone is up to date... Huh)(I have read that you need to change the boot partition or something like that with ICS roms, is it valid for official ICS roms from LG too ?).
Do I have to unroot my phone before installing a new rom with Smartflash ?
Thanks.

1. Make sure that you have P990.
2. V20B should be a gingerbread.
3. If you read one post below yours, you could’ve find exactly what you ask official ICS for smartflash.

I think updating via LG Tool doesn't erase data on your phone... however I would strongly advise you to synchronize your contacts with gmail and backing up you apps with titanium backup in an external sd card.
Update via LG Tool didn't erase my data when I went from 2.2 to 2.3

Before, I was unable to take pictures, because every pictures I took was corrupted.
Since I upgrade to V30b, this problem was solved, but now, sometimes the message: The SD card was removed apears, and I need to reboot the phone. I installed Beyondpod to ear pod casts and all the downloaded pod casts file, after 1 day were corrupted (files with names like:┬▬¶, before the photos were the same names).
This week the phone blinked non stop, I needed remove the batery, and all settings were reserted.
Now I think my battery drains so fast, I had reserted all settings to factory defaults and now the phone is working, bus Podcasts no.
I´m sick of this phone. I wants some custom rom to see if the phone improve.
Can anyone please can help me?
Please give me the information about witch Custom ROM is better. (fast, clean, battery, in all aspects)
Tanks a lot for the help.

is it rooted ? if yes, then you have lots of option in developer sction, the most stable rom i used recently are Marvel v11 and IZS both ICS based roms. both are great with battery and run pretty smooth.
you can try one of the Marve based stock V30F . i didn't try it yet.

If it's a rooted v20 (GB) just install ROM Manager from play store and maybe first try a Marvel12b, 11 or even 10 ... where you get a touch 5 CWM recovery with it. Than you probably have the best base you can get to install any ROM.zip from.

I heard there is one way to install a CWM on v30, but normaly you only brick your phone when you try to get a CWM on v30. Look for unlock U boot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160394
yeah, this is a way, but cwm 6 have bug sdcard unmounted, use recovery.img 5.xx.xx on this case.
IMHO, if you have SFT, it's safe to flash with Preinstallation for IZS ROM (SmartFlash): includes Smartflash and latest LG USB drivers =>
http://huexxxtuff.blogspot.com.es/2013/01/izs-rom-links.html
you should have, ics rooted and cwm on one shot. after you can make nandroid backup and test all custom rom you want.
original thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2115800
Case C: you already are on a new ICS rom without CWM
Quote:
- If you want, use OnlineNandroid to do a nandroid backup of your phone, I'm not responsible of your data losing
- Use Smartflash to completely flash (.bin and .fls) a V20 ROM patched with CWM with V30 baseband (you can
use my PRE_IZS_IMAGE available on my blog)

Once again let me thanks the help you gave me.
Now I am confused.
There is any tutorial to help me install the rom?
I am a newbie in this matters. I had a Galaxy tab 7 (p1000), and in that time I did install some roms, but time pass, and now I´m super confused.
I read several thing but, you gave me different solutions and I don´t now how to do.
I think the best rom (following your´s advise), is the MARVEL.
I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554274
And I choose the last: Marvel v G based on Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4 v 30d France - deodexed and zipalligned
Following the instructions of the link, I only need do this:
1. You will need a rooted Optimus Black and boot in CWM Recovery or use ROM Manager.
2. Copy the zip file in SDCard.
3. Install zip file.
This is correct?
I need to root the boot? How can I confirm is I have a rooted boot?
SaschaKH gave me this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160394
Can I use this instructions to root the boot?
For all operations I need the CWM.Can i install in play store? I found the ClockworkMod (ROM MANAGER) free version. Can I use this version?
Exist also the Rom Manager Premium, for what I need, the free version is OK or I need the pay version?
To finish: What is:
1- SFT?
2 - deodexed and zipalligned?
Thank a lot for all the help.
Sorry for this questions, I want to learn more about this world, and I´m starting. I count with you guys.
Thanks a lot.
Once again sorry for all my questions and my bad English. (I´m Learning English too)
everything you need is here:

You didn't read it well. It says to root your phone and to boot to CWM. The thing with U-boot is to get rid of the locked bootloader wich gives you an LG Security Error if you install any alternative recovery.
You can follow the instructions given but I didn't try it myself.
What I found easier is to do as NOOBY wrote in his tutorial : flash a V20 patched rom (Gingerbread stock rom rooted and with CWM), like that you'll only have to do the wipes required in CWM and then flash Marvel Rom - which of course you put on your sdcard -.
SFT (= SmartFlashTool, for flashing a firmware easily)
Btw to use that tool you need of course our phone's drivers installed.

Hum... If you installed CWM directly from a stock ICS rom, that's normal that you had that error. ^^

Yes it is what I did.
Is any other way to install CMW?
Even in the tutorial said: "Then you need to install CWM (Clock Work Mod), you can do this e.g. by downloading ROM Manager, install it, open it
and find Install Clockwork Mod Recovery. Hit it, wait some seconds and click LGE optimus Black. Wait again, till the file has been downloaded and installed and your all set Now you can reboot into Recovery, with the second option. It says, what it does: Reboot to recovery"
But I tried also reboot using the option "Reboot to recovery" and the phone reboot and reset with factory defaults.
How can I use other way?
Thanks
In the tutorial it says that for Gingerbread rom.
I don't remember if it is in Ilko or NOOBY's thread but you should use SFT to flash a patched Gingerbread rom. Since it is rooted and with CMW, it may be easier to you for flashing another rom from that.

I made it. I installed the Marvel G, but my problem still maintains (I use BeyondPod) and in the podcast folder appears a lot of corrupt files), I don´t see any change from stock ROM, but I think this is the objective of this ROM.
But now I am ready and prepared to install all ROMS I Want using the CMW, and install from zip file.
I will continue testing some ROMS.
Witch ROM do you recomend? I don´t need fancy style or other complicated thing, I just need what a stable, low consumption batery, and fast thing.

Good day. My name is Renoux. I have a South African Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 on the MTN network but currently using Vodacom Simcard.
I am so new to flashing and rooting and there is just TOO much info to go through on this site and also any other. I am even more clueless now than I was before after reading about it.
I would like to do the following:
1) Backup everything on my phone (will the app I'm going to use still be on my phone after reset? do I need to download again and my backup file will automatically be added? Will I lose some data?)
2) I want to use a ROM called Paranoid Android. the one I have is pa_n7000-3.60-11JUN2013-053741.zip
3) How do I uninstall my current OS? I am using Ice Cream Sandwich version 4.0.4 with Baseband version N7000XXLRB.
PDA: N7000XXLRI
PHONE: N7000XXLRB
CSC: N7000OJVLR3
Build info: Wed Jul 11 19:41:13 KST 2012
4) What are the programs that I need to download? for both my PC and the phone to get this done? could you maybe include links please?
5) Do I root after or before installing the new ROM? using what? how?
basically, delete everything on my phone, after backing up the most important stuff, delete ICS, install paranoid android and then root it for full use.
Thanks.
If you want to backup everything like app+data then you can use titanium backup pro but you need root for that.. I usually provide links but as you are too lazy to read what already exists and will be there till next year for sure (just saying).. Search for philz kernel on google for n7000 and download .zip for kernel corresponding to your rom.. Put it on ext sd.. Press volume up+power+home button and you will get stock recovery from there use the volume down key to choose install zip from ext sd and press power button to select. Once done you will have brickbug safe kernel and root. Now you can install titanium backup pro and backup all the apps+data (only non system apps recommended). Now once you are done go to paranoid rom thread and read the instructions there for how to install.. If you want to install ics or even jb for any other country you can do that using pc odin or mobile odin.. Search for dr ketans stock rom n7000 in google and you will get all the stock rom to download with how to.. If you ever install stock rom again you will have to root again using the same method as mentioned above to be able to use tbp and restore apps with or without data..

Here is how to do it.
Root your phone. There are a lot off info on YouTube on hire to do. Here is one example: http://goo.gl/UWgl6
When rooting, you do not lose any information on you phone, by when changing rom you do. Therefore, use titanium backup pro (yes, buy the pro version) to backup your data.
When rooted, it is also very easy to install a new rom. My suggestion is the Stunner rom. How to install a rom is also very simple. Here is a video to show you hire to do it: http://goo.gl/Df72h
Good luck!
