A while ago I installed this zip in Xperia Purenes b13, but I don't like it anymore and I want to get rid of it.
There is a special flashable zip to undo this, but I cannot find it anymore.
I only found a version for Paranoid Android (PA2.52) and I tried that one, but it doesn't work (PA2.52 is JB, Pureness is ICS).
So I hope anyone can help me.

You should make a nandroid backup before flashing any zip files...

I know, I normally always make nandroids, but this time appearantly I did not
Anyways, shouldn't you contact the dev about this kind of thing?
僕のLT18iから送られてきた
The dev who build the rom is not the same who made this zip. And the maker of the 'undo zip' is also another dev.
I don't know who made these 2 zips.
And unfortunately the maker of the rom isn't going to be online for the next couple of months due to some private problems he said.
I started making my ROM with Android Kitchen and I dumped system folder from ftf file.
But I cannot find META-INF and boot.img to use for ROM.
I tried using MIUI v4 META-INF and boot.img but I get status 6 error while installing ROM. By Kitchen's FAQ it means something is up with update-script. So, I need to find stock boot.img for latest ICS Arc S firmware and associated META-INF with update-script.
I searched for those files for more than 8 hours, still can't find them.
I hope if anyone posts them that I could be able to normally install ROM without a problem.
Thank you in forward.
Err, there is no stock boot.img. All stock kernels are provided in the stock firmware packages also known as FTF files.
Depending on what you need it for, you can download the source code(, make the modifications) and compile it yourself.
Hmmm, how am I going to make custom ROM without boot.img if it is needed(or is it?).
I can't get any other custom kernel because I want to make ROM for locked bootloader phone.
Do you know what should I do to complete ROM if i can't have stock boot.img?

Yeah, that's what I though after someguyfromhell wrote a post and I made a new zip without boot.img and deleted write_raw_image line from update-script.
Right now I am searching for solution to other problem(some folders and files are not showing up on my sdcard while viewing it in Windows, so I have no space to drop ROM in there, will try when I fix this).
Thank you both for replies, will try to fix this soon.

If you are going to do a ROM for locked bootloaders, then there is no boot.img needed at all. Locked bootloader means stock kernel, means no boot.img.
Also, it is not needed. Some ROM developers supply their own kernels together with the ROM, however it is not a requirement.
For those who having problem return to stock using Flash tools
here the recovery rom for G2 D805 16GB that can be flashed using TWRP.
ROM include:
aboot.img
boot.img
cust.img
dbi.img
laf.img
misc.img
modem.img
persist.img
recovery.img
rpm.img
sbl1.img
system.img
tz.img
After flashing your phone will back to 4.2.2 with D80510A rom.
You will loose root and custom recovery after flashing.
1. Download ROM
2. Wipe cache, data, system, dalvik
3. Flash ROM
4. Reboot the system
5. Enjoy back to stock.

a great idea!! is it possible to do this for a ukd802 or would it be a completely different? anyhow im sure there will be people jumping at the chance to be able to do someting as simple as this to get back to stock there seems to be a lot of people having problems with kit kat and associated and we really ought to have a few different variants of this a really good idea,thanks for posting.

It is possible, but i don't have 802 phone to test.
There needs to be one of these for all models. Can you possibly make it available for the Verizon's lg g2?

Sorry, but i only have 805 for testing. But you can use this rom, just replace all .img inside it from Verizon .kdz or .tot

So first we unzip ur rom,then we use that tot/kdz extractor tool n extract the vs980 kdz/tot and replace all the img files from ur rom w the img files from the vs980 kdz then zip it back up right?
edit: oh also does this wipe internal storage like actually flashing a tot/kdz or do you keep the stuff on data/media?
Yes this is correct.
And by doing this will wipe everything, the same as flashing kdz

Sorry to keep bugging you bro but if i was to use a img creator tool to combine this the various bin files, (minus the laf.bin to keep access to fastboot) into 1 img file could it then be flashed using fast boot?

This is the rooted version. I used the original FTF from @scifan here.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759110

Oh, awesome! You should probably add that to the title
Does this have the same issue as the .101 where the XZDR.prop file needs to be replaced in order to access recovery?

lol, It might, I deleted the files in that directory right before turning off my phone to access recovery and flash the new zip. Both recovery's are working great with 4.4.2

What directory do we need to delete the files from? I was not aware of the issue, though now I know why I couldn't access recovery on 101 :silly:

In your SDCard, simply delete the files in the XZDualRecovery or rename the XZDR.prop. If you delete them, they get recreated anyway and fixes that problem you had with 101
Oh, how much I love you right now. Thanks a lot! Will report if I encounter any issue with your files, though I seriously doubt I will.

Locked or unlocked BL isn't important with these files.
Just upload the ZIP to your SDCard and flash it in recovery, then power off your phone without rebooting and flash the stripped FTF with Flashtool and you're done.
Thank you guys!
But for those (like my self) who are not experts on this, could you please, provide a detailed (step by step) guide on how to flash it?
If I already flashed it to kitkat (not rooted), can I do it over this one?

My BL is locked, there are easier ways if you have an unlocked bootloader but this will work whether your BL is locked or unlocked. Ive been running it for a few hours now and no issues, root and dual recovery's are working.

If you already flashed 4.4.2 then you do not have root and therefore cannot flash these. You will need to flash back to an older 4.2.2 so you can root and then install recovery. Once you have recovery the steps are:
1 - upload the zip to your SDCard and flash it via recovery
2 - After flash is successful, turn off your phone without rebooting.
3 - Flash the stripped FTF file via FlashTool and boot your phone.
That's it

I doubt that any stock rom will flash with twrp recovery....in the past with oppo phones (n1, 7a) its always needed stock recovery to flash stock roms...I guess we just play the waiting game until someone can upload the boot image from the updated rom. I'm pretty sure flashing that alone will get wifi back up and running. 07 Or if someone has the stock recovery they could upload....I am unsure if you can just rip it directly out of the rom and flash it....Also on oppo forums they have posted the rom for 5207 I am also unsure if you can flash that to the 5206.
The zip in that thread is images to flash in fastboot?
...
I would think you would have to flash each image individually.... system, boot, recovery ....unless if we start by flashing only the unmodified boot.img to see if it will fix wifi....but i doubt it because i suspect the wrong boot image is what screwed up wifi in the first place...someone please correct me if im wrong

Yes, you're right; the boot image is not compatible with the upgrade; so downgrade to get root. I'm working on trying to upgrade again with the OTA upgrade and then getting the new boot.img and rooting that. More soon I hope!
FYI I tried your images, Lum_UK and found that I couldn't flash boot.img with fastboot, BUT I could dd them from within recovery, so I got myself up and running again.
Yes you'd have to flash all the images by hand one after the other.

Thanks for that, though I haven't tried it yet. Can I ask what it changes? Is it worth the upgrade? My original firmware +root seems to work pretty well already so I may well leave it alone until L or CM comes out.

I have no idea what it changes as it's the firmware my International N5706 was shipped with when it was released last week. It may be different to the US model (though I believe the only difference between the two is the baseband) and is definitely different to the N5707 for Chinese users.
Dude, thanks!!! You saved my life!
