[Q] Need help ensuring my phone is on stock

After rooting my phone and flashing CM10.1, I began to run into some problems. I figured I'd just unroot, so I followed this guide. After successfully completing the procedure, my phone status still reads "modified". Do I need to do a wipe to remove this? Also, was it not a good idea to flash the rom through odin from a source on the internet that I haven't heard of (No offense to SkunkApe, I'm just paranoid)? I just want to be sure my phone is secure and that I'm running stock JB. Thanks in advance.
Edit: I don't know if this means anything, but I can check for updates without my phone telling me that it's modified...

I believe you got your answer in another thread but factory reset should fix that.

Volume buttons not working / Need to go back to stock

Hello,
I've noticed that my volume buttons have pretty much stopped working. I don't think it's ROM related, I'm on tmcode's AOKP rc2 ROM and tried going back to CM10 stable and the problem was still there.
Sometimes they'll work randomly, but they're pretty much a write off it seems. My phone is under a year old purchased from Bell.
I've unlocked, rooted the phone, flashed CWM and have flashed numerous ROMS.
I'd like to try and see if they'll give me a replacement, or fix it or whatever before I get a new phone, which most certainly won't be an LG phone, too bad about the Nexus 4...
What's the easiest way to bring the phone back to a stock state? Do you think if I just flash Bell's ICS ROM it'll be enough?
Thanks

you haven't given us much info... my p930 works fine (edit spelling) on cm10 stable... if yours still aren't working i'm guessing one of two things.
1. maybe your rom flashing procedure is lacking... ? are you doing proper data wipes before flashing new roms?
2. did you jolt your phone? if you smashed your phone from the side the volume buttons are on its easily the contacts could have been damaged.
either way i think if your flash count is that high your warranty is probably useless, unless there is some way to hide all those custom roms you flashed but there isn't as far as i know.
you can only hope your problem can be fixed by doing a proper wipe... just another thought... have you tried restoring a backup from CWM from before you experienced the problem? this should confirm weather it is a hardware or software issue.

What do you mean "flash count is that high?" I mean, if they really care about that, just update through the LG updater tool and they would never know you've been flashing all sorts of custom ROMs.. Which, if you think it MIGHT be a software problem, that might not hurt anyway; but I doubt it's software related..

I see what you're talking about now. From what I can tell, it's on Samsung devices; I can't find any other references to it on any other brand... not saying that it isn't on anything else, but Samsung appears to not like people having full control of their device.

I don't think it's a software issue, I'm pretty sure it's hardware.
I know to do a full wipe when flashing between different ROMs.
My phones been dropped a couple times, nothing drastic though, that could have done it maybe. I've got a TPU (sp?) case on the phone.
What is the easiest way to bring the phone back to a stock state? LG GB/ICS ROM, un-rooted?
Thanks again

You can try running the official LG update tool; I'm not sure if that will work without doing anything else... I KNOW it works if you flash v18f and then update with the official software. Basically, run through steps 1-5 of this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044645 and instead of doing anything after all that, just start the official update software and update to Official ICS.

" just start the official update software and update to Official ICS."
I'm using the Bell phone unlocked on Rogers, will I still be able to update to the official ICS ROM?

From within the phone it self? Or is it an application I download and run from my PC?

B2CAppsetup.exe is the app you'll need.

pretty sure by official lg update software he's talking about the tool you run on your pc that autoupdates your phone.
http://www.lg.com/ca_en/support/mobile-support
is where you would find the tool, i'm not 100% positive on this more like 99% if you want confirmation you should wait for him to verify, but i know this is the official lg update tool.
---------- Post added at 06:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:35 PM ----------
if you blocked the lg site from your hosts file like the (*edit* un) bricking guide tells you to, you'll have to remove that line from your hosts file (127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com) and flushdns in order to communicate with the lg servers again. just in case you run into this, i'll try to have your answer posted before you can ask the question
to flush dns open the run prompt, type cmd, hit enter, type ipconfig /flushdns
you should get a success message this has refreshed your dns and you should be able to communicate with csmg.lgmobile.com again.
---------- Post added at 06:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 PM ----------
as per your 2nd question, i'm pretty sure you'll end up with A T&T but im not positive. however the at&t software will work if you enter your carriers APN settings, if you didn't write them down you can get them with a simple google search, go into mobile network settings on your phone select apn, then push the menu button and push new, then enter all your apn settings and your data should connect in a jiffy.

Yeah, the official update tool. That's the one I'm talking about; both links end up going to the same program - B2CAppSetup.exe
Good point on the hosts file, that's pretty important.

thank you just trying to him this guy get his phone going

Alright, once I find a cheapo phone to use while my Nitro HD / Optimus LTE is being repaired, I'll give this a go.
I just want to bring it back to stock state to remove root so they won't deny my warranty.
I remembered after I posted about the "B2CAppSetup.exe " program on LG's site.
My hosts file is untoched, I'm on a new install of Windows 8, I un-bricked a few months ago.
Thanks again for all the help.

I can't really, reliably, enter recovery any more...
I might try flashing the v20f Bell ROM via ROM manager and then try unrooting with super one click.
I do still have the first CWM backup I made of the stock GB ROM as well that I could restore maybe in ROM manager.
Sent from my LG-P930 using xda app-developers app

So I flashed the original GB CWM / Nandroid backup I had made, then I tried un-rooting with SuperOneClick, but for some reason it wouldn't work.
So I used the LG software and updated to the official ICS release, Bell version, and the now the phone is un-rooted.
Time to send it off to hopefully get fixed.. what are the chances that I'll get my actual handset back? I've unlocked it, I'm betting I don't get mine back, but a locked one...
Thanks again for all the help

first of all you dont want yours back, the volume button issue is probably hardware, unless you flashed the wrong rom or a corrupted wrong or something. secondly if you updated to stock ics, your phone is already has a relocked bootloader, you should be so lucky as to get a brand new phone that you can unbrick in an hour...
*edit* unless there is some new security they are putting on the new ones but i haven't heard of such, it has always seemed to me they only implement security to the point where it will stop an unknowledgeable person from breaking the phone. the amount of software "leaks" suggest to me they don't really care if people that know what they are doing mod the phones. having said that they still won't replace a phone they know has been modded, for valid reasons, they shouldn't be responsible for things they didn't do to the phone.

So I got my handset back and the volume buttons have been fixed.
To get root and CWM recovery back is it easiest to just follow an unbrick guide?

Read my FAQ, that doesnt work for all
Random times it'll go through and random times it'll fail

Best advice now that he already took the official update would be to just reroot (same rooting method as for LJ7) and start fresh

Ah ok then, go into google frameworks (in Settings > All Apps) then clear data
Then go into /cache and delete any update files still there and reboot
EDIT: Is he on MA6 OR MB1 now?
If hes on MA6 I would just go into the build.prop and replace all instances of MA6 with "MB1" then save and reboot and no more OTA notification
---------- Post added at 03:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 PM ----------
Also, for your tmobile roms do you know how they prevent it? Do they just turn off checking in with google, or remove the update app? Would be good to know so I can update my FAQ haha

[Q] Multiple Q's, Need HELP!!

Hi guys!
This is my very first post here, on the XDA-Dev forum. So I'll try to be as quick as possible with my questions!
I own the Galaxy Note 2 (N7100) unlocked international GSM version from like december 12', almost from launch i may say. Since then I've used the stock 4.1.2 official rom w/ root and just updated to official 4.3 just last week (bad decision to make, I know). Now, under "About device" it says: Baseband: UEMJ9 and Build: UEMK9. I must say that I never realy used the multi window feature, I find it to be useless for me. Some other things I never used: touch wiz launcher (NovaLauncher instead) and I think smart stay too(just puted it on 10 min). Now the one that I've used: SPlanner (I find it a very good calender but the 4.1.2 version, 4.3 version it's crapy), Catch app, SNote, Camera, FMRadion (when travel) and basically these apps.
Now, my questions are:
1. How to root my device, considering that I have 4.3 official update with Basesband: UEMJ9 and Build: UEMK9?!
2. How can I manually save SPlanner, Catch, SNote, FM Radio, TouchWiz Camera apks + their data and export them to another ROM if I like to do so in near feature?
3. How can I try custom ROMs on my device? Like DNito3, CM11?
Hope some of you guys will be well intended to help me out! I know that my Q's could have been asked here but I think if is someone else in my situation too, this will be gold and easy for them too, cuz all the Q's are in one place. I will very appreciate your help!

I've tried CM Installer and failed. Then something with policy violated showed up on screen. I think it has something to do with the knox security. CM guides me to manually install the ROM. Don't know what to do, cuz I don't realy want to brick the device.

So... I figured it out how to root it, done it! Now when I try to open Titanium Backup, I get ERROR and it's saying: "Sorry, I could not acquire root privilages. This app will *not* work! Please verify that your ROM is rooted, and try again. This attemp was made using the "/system/xbin/su" command". Does anyone have any ideea how can I make titanium work? And also, now I have counter set on 5, will I be able to reset it to 0 if I want to send the device to warranty?

If u like custom rom with new bootloader, u can try DN3.
With new bootloader u can use dn3 with stock kernel without wifi problem.

@antique_sonic I've tried to do that, and stixked in boot loop. Then I boot into CWM recovery and did a wipe factory reset, but without any luck. I went online and downloaded the DN3 v3.1 and installed it succesfully. Now I'm up and running rooted and all that good stuff! Now, what if I want to reset the binary counter, is it possible? Thank you!

I m not sure if ta support 4.3.
U can go and see from his thread.
But for me... I don't care the binary counter until I want to sell the phone.
But if I m not wrong u have to do it under stock rom nd kernel, then after reset u can unroot (if u want to sell back ur phone to provider)

Yes! I can't agree more. I don't care either about the warranty, but just to know in case I will sell it, or who knows, maybe I have to send it to warranty. I will do my research next time and I will post here what I'll find, to let other know too. Thx again for your support!

One can only wonder what the heck verizon does to their software such that it requires a 612meg security patch huh?
Anyhow.. Time to use that nandroid i posed in the dev section to accept the OTA.. -or- I will post an updated one later this evening.

Probably 600mb of updated NFL bloatware included and the rest just the security update.

Any word yet on whether this is really just a 612Meg security patch?

Ran into an issue with this update. It failed to install on 11/3 with a error code 409, but when I try to download it again by selecting "Check for new system updates" it says I have the latest update. I've rebooted a number of times and it shows up every time. From what little information I can find online, I have to reset my phone to factory then attempt to update again. I want to avoid this so here I am.

I'm not rooted.
Update: I decided to just to a factory reset. Thankfully it worked and I am at the latest firmware.

So I've tried letting this update run a couple times. Downloading for the third time as I write this. When it tries to install, it just reboots into TWRP recovery and does nothing. Then I restart the phone and basically start the process all over again. Any guidance on how to get this squared away?? I met one of the members here with a card who S-offed, unlocked, rooted, my phone which I'm thankful for. Just want to be stock rooted is all. Don't really do much with custom roms on this phone. Thanks.
