Hey all, looking to make my phone stockish again and I have TWRP installed and want to get the CWM reinstalled to restore my original backup. I've already done everything though FreeGee ect, and tried to reinstall CWM through that but it was a no go. Can anyone point me to an .img file for CWM that will work with E980, I saw one for E988 but wasn't sure it it would work. Thanks for any help!
Just use freegee.

Use a backup to restore to stock and switch back.

I need some serious help flashing roms. Right now I'm on a stock rooted with clockwork recovery mod that I got from freegee. I edited the official cyanogenmod by removing the 4 lines but that didn't work. I tried both twrp and cwm when it came to flashing with no luck. I'm unable return to stock because the pc tool won't recognize my phone when it's in software mode. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Make sure you have USB debugging checked in developer option.

Since I wiped all my data and was able to flash a custom rom, how do I get back to stock?
I saw a thread for all the other variants on this but not one specific for sprint.

Or does anyone have a clean stock back up file they can pm me? (Is that even possible?)

I've been reading the guides so let me clarify: if I can get into download mode, I can skip the first guide?
And I don't see sprint DLL or tot file. Can you point me to the download?
Appreciate your help on this.

Do you mind if i make a thread in the sprint android development forum and link your server for easy access? Also I noticed download speeds are in the 100KB/sec. Is this because the server is getting hammered hard by downloads?

I could use stock recovery

Is it possible for someone to make a nandroid backup of their stock ROM, then post a DL link?
Then we could just DL the backup, manually copy it to our phone to the proper folder, and restore it through TWRP or CWM. Does that work?
I've never tried but it seems much more simple! Sorry in advance if that is a stupid idea and doesn't work. If not, explain why!

No that doesn't work because you can't make a backup in TWRP or CWM of the stock based ROM when you are unrooted since if you are unrooted you can't flash TWRP or CWM. The earliest you can make a nandroid backup is right after you root and flash TWRP recovery.
When you do an OTA, the Sprint stock OTA update looks for valid files in certain directories that the root method might have changed and any certificates might be invalid so it doesn't install. That is why some folks who rooted and then do the OTA and the OTA install fails and they get bootlooped. This is why they say if you are rooted, do NOT take the OTA update. If you must, like in the case of Verizon you should take the OTA first when you are unrooted, let it install and then root.
Thanks for responding!

is there a flashable stock image? i had made a backup in twrp but somehow accidentally wiped everything including sdcard when i was wiping.
Am asking because I thought that the zip file we all downloaded could be flash via recovery and not just the flash tool?

Nah it holds a sprint tot image file and a dll and needs to be flashed using the LG tool.

I download the new OTA on my rooted Note 2 but now I'm like what should I do.. 1. Should I unzip the file first with androzip than move it over to my SD card or just go Str8 through Twrp? Please help out if you can.. Thanks

Unless they've figured out a way recently, you can't install the actual OTA with a custom recovery, only stock recovery. You just need to find a copy of the stock ROM in one of the forums on here and download / install through TWRP if you want to stay stock, but rooted.
The stock OTA SHOULD NOT be applied using TWRP. Use the stock recovery only or you will get an error. You need to be on Stock, stock, stock MC2 unrooted in order to apply the update.zip.
It doesn't matter where you put it or what you name it. If you can point to it in Stock recovery, it will install it.
