Hi, Im stock rooted, and using recovery that I can lauch only from my PC, not bump one, I can't find this thread now, so I can't restore orginal recovery, I notice that there is new OTA update "L" one, I don't have it yet, but I want to prepare for it. What should I do? This will be enough?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-unroot-ota-using-lg-pc-suite-pc-t2802286
Also do I need to restore orginal recovery to do that? If yes, than someone can help me find this thread?
And one more thing, I downloaded kdz file for new "L" update, can I falsh it with "normal" option and I will not lose any data? If yes, do I also need to unroot and restore stock recovery?

US Cellular has been promising Froyo for the CDMA Desire since October, and I'm tired of waiting so I'm going to root it and flash a Froyo ROM myself. I read through the unrEVOked documentation, and it mentions that if I want to install official updates in the future I need to restore the recovery image, but it doesn't tell me how to get it. How do I pull the stock recovery image from my phone so that I can flash it back on should I need to?
You can't actually backup a whole rom without rooting first. You need the custom recovery to do a nandroid backup which will back up the whole rom. If anything does go wrong or you need to reinstall then you can just use an RUU to do it. US Cellular doesn't have an RUU yet but you can use other CDMA RUU's.
So am I to understand that there is no way to back up the stock recovery, as I would have to overwrite the existing recovery just to do backups in the first place?
Yep, root access is needed to back the whole ROM up
To be honest, it's better with root anyway and a lot better when you install a custom rom.... from my experience anyway.
Hi
I'm desperately looking for any Bell mobility stock 1.34.666.5 or Over.
The camera button is not working so I sent my phone to repair but they send it back because I do not have the right rom that was provided with my phone. I was able to unroot and put back 1.34.666.1 (the only one that is available it seems) but the technical support told me that my phone shipped with 1.34.666.5 and that they can't do anything unless I'm putting back this rom.
I tried getting OTA updates for 1.34.666.1 but it's not available. Minimum rom # to get OTA updates have to be 1.34.666.5
I'm screwed.
Regards
I have a nandroid backup of the stock ROM...it's rooted though.
Will I be able to flash using Clockwork Recovery? I can manage to remove root after flashing, I think.
Yes, flashable via Clockwork.
I'll let you know when I have it uploaded.
...and it's up.

Some notes:
- I only included the system and boot portions of the nandroid backup due to privacy concerns
- As such, you should do a system and boot restore (after a full wipe, of course) under "Advanced Restore"
- As mentioned earlier, this is rooted (so you'll need to unroot)
Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.
Good news, I have been able to return to stock 1.34.666.5. Thank you very much for your backup.
I was thinking going unrooted was to be easy but i'm a little bit stuck.
How can I unroot and put back stock bootloader without flashing a new rom.
If I have to flash a new rom, is there a way to build one based on the backup you provided?
I've look at software update and there's an OTA update available for my phone. I tried to install but because I do not have the right bootloader (I think that's the problem) I'm unable to do the OTA update.
Thanks.

That's good to hear. I'd recommend making your own nandroid backup immediately.
As for the bootloader, you're sure you flashed the ENG HBOOT during the rooting process? If that's the case, I'm not sure where you can find the stock HBOOT...
Yes, I installed the Eng HBoot.
I'm trying now renaming the OTA update.zip, put on the root of sdcard and make recovery to install that update but I got an error about getprop CID?? and the update failed...
Still looking for a solution.
How did you make out Tonkadan? I'm in the same boat. I heard that if you did apply this update that you would not be able to root your phone anymore.
I' still rooted. I'm unable to go back to stock. I'm using cyanogenmod 7 for now but would really want to go back to stock if somone have the official Bell rom over 1.34.666.5.
... Or any way to get OTA updates for RUU 1.34.666.1 that is available on shippedroms.com
Does it matter if I upgrade to the new baseband before or after installing Cyanogenmod?

it doesn't matter. the upgrade will revert your ROM to stock & locked either way. You'll need to use the jcase_rootme zip file to get root back after you upgrade to the new baseband. Should be able to find it on here or on android central. I can't remember but I think both forums have links to it.
You want to do it before. The update will revert you back to total stock. Then you need to root and install a custom recovery again. To update to the ZV9 Go here: http://androidforums.com/optimus-v-all-things-root/563443-guide-how-flash-zv9-update-step-step.html
To Root and install a custom recovery in one fell swoop, go here: http://androidforums.com/optimus-v-all-things-root/531810-rooting.html
Don't forget to make a backup of your system in the custom recovery before you try your hand at installing a custom ROM.
Wrong section. You should ask in Q&A

Man, THANK YOU, love the oneClick option...finally out of Z9 HELL.
Sorry for the of topic.
Is there a difference between the 3, or a reason to updating the baseband?
I suppose I should know this, but I don't
I had root with 4.1.2, and updated to 4.2.2 leaked FW - I knew I would loose root, but I thought I could re-root but that does not seem to be the case. Is this so?
If I want to go back to 4.1.2, how do I do this becauseI don't seem to be able to get into TWRP recovery. I thought this was supposed to stay on after upgrading?
why dont u just flash stock 4.1.2 rom via odin for revert?
Good idea, thanks. I was just thinking that myself. Getting the file from sammobile (uk version)
Will it be obvious where each file should go in Odin, will there be three files to select (pda, csc and modem, or just PDA?)
Are there any instructions on XDA?
EDIT
I managed to do it, got into a boot loop though, but was able to restore
Hey Guys,
I just want to double check before i go ahead with this ota to upgrade to Marshmallow that i have been getting nag screens for.
I am on Lollipop and i got root by extracting a system image and then injecting injecting root and reflashing the image so am i correct in thinking that if i install the OTA over this i would brick the device?
Am i also correct in thinking i need to flash a KDZ file compatible with my device to unroot before i install the OTA??
Thanks in advance for any help/advice given.
Wow.. really nobody has a clue?
U can simply unroot through superSu app or make a clean flash with mm kdz and LG UP
