if you are on dualboot you may need to use loop1 or another loop device.. it doesnt matter the number..

He was not the dev of the unnamed rom. And no there will most likely not ever be an update as the dev who did make it only had the phone as a loan it was not his.

Thanks for this.

What would be truly amazing is if you had an explanation of what each command was doing

If you running dual boot machine like me most probably loop0 is your system.
Try to replace /dev/loop0 with /dev/loop1 and try again.
That should do the trick. At least it did for me. I've got this from Chris41g as I was trying this script yesterday and had same problem.

[Deodexed] Deodexed System App and Framework (Stock) 9/21/2011

Brought to you by midNIGHT ROM and Android4Autism​This is simply a deodexed version of the System apps and Framework for the Stock Epic Touch 4G.
I thought I would share this for anyone that's interested. I don't have a great deal to contribute at the moment as I have my hands full. However, I wanted to share this for anyone that wants a stock deodexed system apps and framework.
Note: when you type "su" make sure to give permission on you phone
Download and extract each folder to the root of your INTERNAL memory.
Here are the commands needed to push this over to your phone.
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/framework/* /system/framework/

For those of you not familiar with me and how I operate here's the deal. I'm a father to 3 boys on the Autism Spectrum. I do this work in order to help out the community and raise Autism Awareness. Directing you to my site is only to raise awareness about Autism. You don't have to register for anything and ALL my work is free of cost.
I have a project going on right now called Android4Autism, where I take donated Android devices and turn them into learning tools for kids on the spectrum. These are donated to families that would otherwise never be able to obtain such a device. I made my first donation recently and it was an amazing experience.
I appreciate your understanding and support. I'm sorry if you disagree with my methods but I have the overwhelming support for many in the community and my methods have been approved by the mods.
Thank you so much.

Lol nice to see you got it replaced and that you're back up and running bro
Thanks for sharing this!....Would this work using Android Terminal?
Would it not be easier to make a flashable theme template like Dreams and i did for the Epic and the nexus 4g.
We have CMW now, though it needs further testing!

You know that | is a pipe (ie: the Shift + \ key) not an I, or L.
Though if you're not on a linux system, you may have to first type adb shell
then type : cat /proc/kmsg | grep 'mmc0:0001'
to use the grep command within the recovery OS.
adb shell
cat /proc/kmsg | grep 'mmc0:0001'
do it as two seperate commands

Yea that, because if you're not on OSX or Linux, the grep portion won't be recognized by windows as a valid command.

lol, yea that's the good batch, the bad batch is that MDE* one. It just means you may have another year or two for your phone as the bad batch seemed to have started dying bout a year and a half ago. (I imagine non-rooted phones will survive longer due to not as many write operations to the recovery/system partitions, but you'd probably wana chuck a phone with only gingerbread on it a year from now).

LG-LS970 Factory(ish) Images

First, thanks to criptix for joining me tonight, being prepared and following instructions. He was a great help and hopefully these images can help make some noise around here. I will add the system image as soon as it's finished uploading. The system image is stock, fresh factory reset, with root.
Boot.img
Recovery.img
System Image ZV8
There will be a CWM flashable .zip available soon also, so you can fix yer junk if need be. Nothing fancy, but you can feel free to kang, theme or whatever you can do.
Check out my GitHub for some helpful tools and scripts should you choose to try your hand at making kernels.
Cheers and out!
Do you possibly have a ZV8 image unrooted and completely stock? I would like to include in my tool the option to un root. Thanks for your hard work.
great, we needed and still need some more noise
will try it out after finals. good work

No. But it's on my todo list and maybe we can write a script to unroot in the meantime. If I write it in bash can you transliterate into shell?
Great resource, thanks!
this is moving right along! I have a nexus s and when I upgrade it seems it will be an easy transition to a rooted, possibly rommed device!
ZV9 just dropped in the rdf page. If jelly bean pops up I would expect to see more people buy the phone and more developers coming our way. WIN WIN!

Just making sure it was not a typo. Depending on how complex your bash is, i might be able to help you out. Or i could write one in shell that erases system and replaces it with an unrooted stock image.
