Here is the both of the stock update packagea extracted from the phone I didn't do a thing to it.... In order to get to the official Froyo, you must be on stock DL17... From there, you should flash the EB01, and then the EC09 packages, respectively

Did you notice that your phone did asmall update the big 1? That was e b 01
Sent from my SCH-I400 using Tapatalk
I believe that it gets downloaded to the /cache partition, and it is usually some random filename. I'm pretty sure if you get logcat while it's downloading, it'll tell you at least the URL it's pulling the file from, and possibly even the save location. Maybe Trailblazer will be able to provide some more detailed info though.

Ok. I assume verizon will push the update to the same phone, twice. I know it isn't an issue on GSM, but I'm not sure about CDMA, with the way it's set up. If they do, I'll revert tomorrow afternoon and see if I can find it to pull it.
Trailblazer, if you read this, before then, Something a little more comprehensive would be appreciated.

Hi,
I have some n00b questions that I would really appreciate some help on...
1. Are these files also known as the "radio" and "kernel."?
EB01 = radio?
EC09 - kernel?
2. Do I have to rename them both to "update.zip" before I place them on my sdcard?
3. When I flash them from CWM recovery, do I select "install update.zip" or "install zip from sd card"?
4. Would it be a better idea for me to use an odin package (EC09 odexed)?
5. I already flashed to a build called "EC07_clean." Do I need to go back to a stock DL17 before I flash EB01+EC09, or can I just proceed from EC07?
Thank you to anyone who takes time to help me on these. I appreciate it!

1. Not really. I'm not the person to explain that, I'm sure Tx or one of the other, more experienced regulars could explain it better. EB01 only serves to fix OTA issues and prepare the phone for EC09. As EC09 is being flashed, the radio and kernel are patched/updated from DL17.
2. No. Leave them named how they are. Just be sure you know which one is which so you can flash them in the correct order. EB01, then EC09.
3. Choose "Install zip from sd card" and then navigate to where they are. Putting them on the root of the sd card makes it easier to find them.
4. You don't have to. I honestly find CWM to be easier as no PC required. Once again, one of the other regulars may have a better answer here.
5. Going back to stock DL17 and then flashing EB01/EC09 is the only way, I think. Going from EC07 to EC09 probably won't work.

That's what I suggested. You also suggested the added step of unrooting and rooting again though I think that's completely unnecessary and would be a huge PITB just to get the calendar back. There's no need to throw unrooting into the mix. He should just flash the (rooted) stock ROM.

Actually he didn't mention if he flashed a custom recovery or not so he might have to run RUU if he can't flash the stock ROM. I didn't think about that.

You can't just install calendar.apk because its a system app.
You would have to push it to /system/app then run fix permissions.
Flashing the stock ROM through recovery would be easiest.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Assuming it's a sense rom, I would just download any sense rom, then push it via adb to the /system/app folder, chmod 0744 {filename.ext}. Done.
If it's AOSP, then same instructions, but grab an AOSP rom.
I would just reflash the rom you flashed originally. Wipe Dalvik/Cache and you should be good to go.

Ok, it's been a while since I rooted, but, when I did you had some form of a development rom and had to flash a different one right away. There were several "stock roms" to choose from.
It may be different now, so maybe I'm wrong. If so, get over it.

OK, so for the last couple of months I've been putting off updating with the ota just because when I tried to do it, it wouldn't go through because i rooted with unrevoked forever and my security is off (S-off).. So I finally get around to do it, but I can't figure out how to turn security back on (S-on). I thought I could do it by running unrevoked again but this time uncheck Disable security on phone. Well I tried it like 5 times and I still got S-off. So how do I turn it back on to get the newest update, or does anyone have it in an update.zip format?

Why do you want to do that?
That said, if it's what you really want to do, then download the latest PB31IMG file from Doug Piston's Site. Rename the file to PB31IMG.zip, put it on the root of your sdcard, and reboot into HBOOT. Follow the onscreen prompts.
You'll still have S-OFF, but that's not going to prevent the ROM from installing. If you don't want to replace things like your recovery, radio, hboot, with the defaults then remove those .img files from the zip file.
Here, to get s-off the file i attached should work. Its from the get back to stock thread
So if I go get the newest pb31img.zip, that's basically the newest ota? And all I have to do is hboot install it?

Yes. Removing the recovery.img means that you won't lose your ClockworkMod Recovery. Alternatively, you could download CWM 3.0.0.8 for the Inc from and replace the recovery.img file in the RUU so that you're flashing the latest CWM instead of the stock recovery.
Similarly, you can grab your favorite radio version from this thread and replace the radio.img file. The one built into the RUU is 07.28, whereas 11.19 is the latest that works with our phones (even if it did come from the Evo). If you're not sure which radio works best for you, then I'd advise starting with the stock 07.28 radio, and seeing which works best for you over time. Different radio versions can have different effects for people depending on their location. For many, it can improve signal strength (and, correspondingly, battery life). For others it makes things worse.
Also, you can't flash S-ON on the Inc unless you're running the 07.28 radio.
What is different with the new hboot?

I'll be honest, I don't know. However, some ROMs require the latest HBOOT to work, so it's worth upgrading while you're resetting everything else.

No, that's not going to work quite the same way. I've never peeked into the OTA file to see what's inside, so I don't know what kind of results you'll get.
Thank you so much, that helped a lot! So I pulled the doug pm31img.zip, put the new clockwork recovery into a new pm31img.zip then copied the contents of Doug pm31img to the new pm31img with out the recovery.img. then re-zipped it, do I need to use no compression? (I used winrar to create the new pm31img.zip)
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Compression ratio doesn't matter -- I used max with 7-zip. Just make sure you use Deflate, not Deflate64 or any other advanced compression method.
And make sure it's name is PB31IMG.zip, not PM31IMG.zip.
Oh, and make sure your SD card is FAT32 formatted, not FAT16.
THERE WILL BE NO FURTHER SUPPORT OF THIS OTHER THAN IF THE LINK GOES DOWN OR THERE IS SOMETHING DRASTICALLY WRONG WITH IT, BUT SINCE IT IS COMPLETELY STOCK AND NO COMPLAINTS HAVE COME, IT IS DONE... TY FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!
First i would like to thank football for posting the Stock ROM this is based off of!!!
This is nothing but the Stock 2.2.1 MyTouch4G MySense ROM with ROOT and slightly debloated!!!
The only reason i did this is as a request by a person on the site and i, on occasion like to go back to stock while retaining root.
Warning!!! I Am Not Responsible For Anything That Happens To Your Device!!!
I repeat, this is nothing but the stock rom that came shipped with your phone, but has root permissions added, no tweaks, mods, nothing added and SLIGHTLY DEBLOATED!!!
I have only tried this on the newest recovery, 3.0.2.4, and with that said, dont try this on any other recovery!!! JUST SAYIN!!!
Flashing Instructions
- Download the ROM and put it on the root (main folder) of your SD card not in a folder that you have to hunt down
- Boot into recovery
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Wipe cache partition
- Wipe dalvik cache (under advanced)
- Format system (under Mounts and Storage)
***Optional, but i do it every time, just cause it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside*** Format /sdcard, then of course you have to mountUSB storage and copy the .zip over to your phone
- Install from zip / choose zip from SD card / flash it!!
- Let it finish booting .. it will take you to the setup wizard screen .. DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING! Wait 2 - 5 minutes and then hold down the power button and reboot.
<< do not turn on wi-fi until it says so in a couple of steps >>
- Once it boots up again, it will bring you back to the setup wizard. DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING again!! Wait another 2 - 5 minutes .. then log in to Google
- You may now turn on WIFI
HAPPY FLASHING

Thank you for this .. I was really surprised that no one had done just a stock rom. It works great.
But ... The first thing I usually check after I install a rom is go to terminal and type "free" to see if it gives me the free memory .. Unfortunately this does not .. It gives error messages.
This is the same thing that happend to me when I first rooted the phone and something went wrong ...re rooted it and works now.
With that said ... Is there something wrong with this rom in the way it has root? Or is there something more to do for this like gfree method ..

I want to change from CM 3.0.0.5 to AMON-RA recovery due to the feedback I've gotten and read but I am not quite sure about what files to use and how exactly to flash them. I visited the mirror site on the RA thread and downloaded "recovery-ra-supersonic-v2.3.img" and "recovery-ra-supersonic-v2.3-pc36000.zip." My questions are do I simply place the "zip" file on the root of the card and boot into bootloader (vol dn+power) and answer yes when it asks to update, and what is the purpose of the ".img" file and what do I do with it (if I even need it)? I know these are noob questions but I am still learning and want to be sure I am doing things the right way. Thanks for the help.
Pm me an ill reply with what u need to know. I'm on my evo and need to fire up my laptop really quick to type it all out

ok never mind i acctually read what you posted and noticed that you already have what you need. so get rid of the .zip you dont need it. the .img and the .zip are 2 different methods and the img method in my opinion is lightyears easier than the zip way.
so here we go
1. put the .img on the root of your sd. (make sure it is named "PC36IMG.zip" exactly like that or else it wont work.
2. power down phone and then boot in to the hboot (vol down+power)
3. it will scan for the .img
4. when it asks to update hit yes.
5. let it do its thing and you will have amon.

Or, you can take the recovery-ra-supersonic-v2.3-pc36000.zip, rename it to JUST PC36IMG.zip, and do the same thing....

Right on, just having a problem getting into hboot. When I power off the phone and try to power on with vol dn+power the phone goes right to the boot animation and to the system. Running synergy RC2. Did a double wipe of system/data, cache and dalvik. Currently using cm 3.0.0.5 recovery (as stated in op). Once again, Tia for the help and advice.
Pull the battery. Seems these new roms don't compleatly shut down.
Ans you don't need to wipe anything. Recovery is on a different part.

Thanks for the help so far everyone. I successfully flashed amon-ra the bootloader way. Guess I need to quit overanalyzing everything. Easy as pie.
I did, however, have another quick question... Does anyone know if I can use caulkin's undervolt zips with synergy rc2? If so, they are just flashed in recovery correct, and are any wipes required or recommended? Thx as usual.

Did u put it in a folder? Cuz your not supposed to... And are you going into hboot (vol down+power)? Because if its on the card it will ask you to update and u have to say yes.
It if it dont work you could download rom manager from the market and at the bottom when you open it up it will say flash alternate recovery. If you click that it will flash amon for you

1. you have to be rooted and on STOCK ZV9. the easiest way in my option is to lgnpst. here is a guide http://pastebin.com/g8hXBaaA
use this v9 tot file instead of the v7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2091883&highlight=tot
2. you need to root v9 with this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050582
3. you need to download the update zip and rename it update.zip. http://d-h.st/0a9
4. you need to move update.zip to /cache using a file explorer (this is why you need root)
5. reboot into stock recovery. get into stock recovery by holding vol down+ home button+ power button until captive lights flash then release.
for some people programs such as romtoolbox's rebooter works and for others it doesnt but you can try.
6. choose "apply update from cache." then "update.zip"
7. you are now running JB.
8. restore root by using root keeper
9. if you want to reroot use the same method for zv9 above
Congrats, you have rooted jellybean!
LASTLY! Im not responsible for what you do to your phone!!!

Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
so i made an actual guide because i did this in the car since kc removed his at the time.
here is the updated version which shouldn't cause a brick except for a few that make a mistake here or there.
Noob Question about this guide
First of all, thank you all for what you do for the Android community
I am obviously a noob, so please bear with me.
I recently used engine95's guide to root and unlock my Sprint LG Optimus G. It was simple and worked perfectly. I have not yet had a chance to attempt flashing any rom's and just noticed that I can actually have Jelly Bean now. So, I am rooted and unlocked. I have recently downloaded Titanium Backup, FreeGee, ROM Manager, Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, and ES File Explorer. I chose TWRP during the unlock procedure with FreeGee. I am now running Titanium Backup on everything (seems to be stuck at 96% with YouTube).
I am about to run through javskies guide to flashing JB (this guide just made more sense to me). I am hoping Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper will keep me from having to root again after the update, but if not, I think I can handle rooting again.
My main questions are:
1) I noticed something in another post about uninstalling FreeGee due to its current incompatibility with JB. Is this correct?
2) Looking at step 4 of javskies guide
4. you need to move update.zip to /cache using a file explorer (this is why you need root)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
, I noticed that I do not see a file named 'cache' either when using ES File Explorer or Windows Explorer. (I haven't figured out how to paste a screenshot into a post, so I attached a JPEG screenshot.)
3) Because I did not see the /cache folder, I looked at the Flashing Guide and now I am even more confused because the steps for
ROM update without SDcard
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
seem a bit out of my leauge...or maybe I am being lazy.
4) How would you all handle a wife/significant other who wants to kill me for spending hours on end reading through posts?
Honestly, if I can grasp how to manage the .zip file correctly in this procedure, I am sure I will be fine.
Because I know it matters...quick thanks to javskies, engine95, fiddy619, and kc_exactly for (unknowingly) getting me this far. Also to _Epic, who apparently is losing his patience with Android illiterates, like myself
Good grief, I hope this post ends up looking right...it is my very first time posting...(just noticed the 'preview' button.)
Thanks guys!
Cache is a folder in the root directory. That is the very bottom of directories. If your rooted you will see it. Put the file there.
And freegee is not compatible for the jelly bean update. So, you are correct to remove it. It will cause a soft brick.
The app is safe just sitting there. But if you run it after the update you will have problems. So, I would remove it for now. Out of sight, out of mind.
Part of the steps to fix the soft brick will be too format the whole phone. So, remove it. The creator of the app is a very active member here on xda. He is working on a fix. Just check back on xda. We will all know when it is fixed.
And it doesn't bother me what guide you use. If you read the bottom of my guide it is basically the same as this one.
I am not a hater. I like to help everyone. There is no competition.
The update process is confusing for new people. There is no way around it. Just follow the steps and you will be fine.

As for the wife. Just say what we all do.
"Honey, I am sorry, I have to fix my phone."
Or
"Hey, one sec, I have to fix my phone"
Basically, any combination of something like that usually works.

Also just a heads up, after u download esfile explorer, u need to go to settings and way towards the bottom there r root settings. Make sure u have the appropriate options checked so u can back out of your sdcard folder. Super user will ask u to grant permission once u check the first option. Grant it. That way u can get to that cache folder that you need.

Thank you, bowhunt. I was feeling a bit too stupid to ask again after kc's thoughtful response. I will stop googling how to access the root folder now :victory:

Make sure you clicked both folder icons at the bottom of the window. If you used the automatic one you should be able to pick the ls970 dll and the second one is the for the .tot you downloaded

Well now I feel like an idiot for missing something so simple. haha. Thanks
Finally got the downloaded zip file to the cache folder. Rebooting to recovery takes me to TWRP. Install failed. Is it because I am unlocked? Do I need to return to stock and re-root?

This guide worked well for me - I'm now ZVB stock rooted (not unlocked but do have FreeGee bought and installed). The hardest part was getting recovery to boot
Thanks javskies, your guide worked perfectly. I'm now back to stock rooted ZVB.
I dont know why this guide has been lost in the forums. I coudnt find it until you helped me out javskies.
This guide is perfect for those who want stock zvb that have locked phones.

No problem. This guide is now pretty much just for people in your situation since we have stock roms and the otas so not many are really going to need it. I'm very glad it helped you out and it sucks to hear that shelnutt couldn't help your situation :/

Actually, shelnutt had a way but he said there was also a risk of bricking my phone. I told him I couldnt because I dont have insurance nor do I have a backup phone. I will do it his way within time once I can get a backup phone. Hopefully, within two months.
He also said there were many people in the same situation that can't unlock phone. He's also trying to find the problem and work out a solution in the future.
