[Q] Upgrading to stock 2.2 rom with rooted phone (unrevoked 3)

Hi guys
I rooted my desire with unrevoked 3, and now I want to install stock froyo 2.2 update and it doesnt seem to work. It stops unpacking update after restart and shows exclamation mark and the droid, pressing menu from there brings up clockwork recovery. Is there any way to easily get this working or are the two options to either unroot or install custom rom?
In case of unroot, do I have to reflash the whole device loosing all settings and apps?
Hope someone has an answer for me, starting to get anxious to try the new rom out

Am having exactly the same issue. First I thought there was something wrong with the download as the Clockwork Mod says 'failed to verify full file'. Can someone help?

There are many stock roms with root access on this forum. Can't you just use one of them? If you flash the official upgrade, it will overwrite HBOOT as well, making it impossible to root the phone again until someone finds a new rooting method.

Ok first of all since you have rooted your phone, did you make a backup? Did you use nandroid? Have you made a gold card? Okay this what I did with my phone. Use the stock ROM from UK 1.21.405.2 WWE version and flash that to your phone (rooted of course with gold card).
Once you have flashed the UK ROM you should get a system software update. BUT......you have to make sure you download one of the rooted Froyo that can be found in xda.
DON"T DO WHAT I DID AND USED A STOCK (unrooted) Froyo! Because now I can't root my phone until someone in here finds a way and shares it.

Ok, how do I flash one of the rooted roms and how do I go about installing it and still keeping the data on the phone? I know there are guides all over this place, but I find them a bit hard to understand a lot of the time...

Happy to use a custom Rom. There are so many here though - any suggestions?

Try them all It's fun and addicting.

But will flashing a custom rom wipe the device, and how do I go about getting all apps, sms'es and so on back on the device? I guess nandriod backup has something to do with it, but how do I use it right?

Titanium backup in market. Restor all data and apps. thet use all.

Titanium backup won't run...
Hmm, titanium backup is installed but it won't run claiming I don't have root or busybox is not installed. Installed busybox installer, it says I have root, but stops saying it might not have enough privileges or it is unable to mount...
What next? Anyone got any bright ideas? Thinking more and more about wiping device with a clean RUU and getting the stock 2.2 update, but would like to keep all my info, sms's and so on...

[Q] Quick question regarding the 5.0 OTA due in a few months

TL;DR Trying to get my phone to stock to accept OTA, running this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485319 and unlocked bootloader/s-off with stock recovery flashed via Flashify. Anything else I should do?
So, let me preface this by saying that I am very, very new to this. I have a rooted tablet that I use, and that was a simple process. No adb commands or anything. But, when I rooted my phone using sunshine, I had no clue the world of **** I was about to get into. I rooted the phone, got a custom recovery on it, and all was going well. Until I accidentally wiped system, and was left without an OS. So, after the quick process of learning how to sideload, I got ViperOne installed on the phone and had it working. Yay for XDA help!
Not over yet though. Soon, over time, I was unable to accept calls. The phone would ring, and I would be able to answer, but no audio output and the mic wasn't picking anything up either. So, I found some fixes regarding google now voice detection, and all went well for about half an hour. Then it stopped working again. Frustrated, I bought another phone (galaxy s4), and decided I'd just get my HTC back to stock as possible.
Now for the question. I'm running this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485319 , and I have the stock recovery (I flashed the recovery using Flashify, then rebooted the phone). All seems to be running well, despite the recovery flash wiping everything from the phone. My question is, seeing as I'm on that ROM, the latest firmware/radio/hboot, and stock recovery, and unlocked/s-off, could I accept and safely install the OTA when it rolls out? Thanks for any help, and sorry for writing so much!

Hey, check your Reddit post I gave you some info there.

Bootloop on LG G Pad II 8.0 LTE (V497)

Hi!
Little background: I've had about every Nexus device that has been released and I've rooted them all, changed all their custom recovery, installed XPosed and fiddled around with ROMs all manually using adb and fastboot (never used a 1-click tool). Of course this is all relatively easy, since you can just go back and flash the original image if you mess something up.
Problem is, I messed up the LG G Pad and I'm kinda stuck. What I did to mess it up:
- No way I'm going without root and there's no way to flash a custom recovery
- Install Kingroot apk, ran it, got root
- Install supersu-me to remove kingroot and replace with SuperSU (the one I usually use and install via a zip in custom recovery)
- Reboot device....bootloop
- Find out the magical sequence to factory reset, do it
- Same bootloop
So it's now just stuck at the LG Life's Good (no it's not!!!) and I can't seem to be able to get adb to work anywhere, I've also gone into download mode, but I can't do much in there.
I'm open to all suggestions

Sadly my solution was to send it back. I said it stopped working after a Factory Reset, which isn't totally false. They accepted the RMA and I'm not going to root the new one I received.

Got stuck on my 495. Unfortunately I bought it second hand so I don't know if they will warranty my repair. err.... I'm hoping to find a solution. Did you ever try the LG Bridge software? I've had no luck with it.

PHP:
Hello. To root an lg-v497 simply use the mobile go trial on pc. To reset the tablet if it is in a boot loop simply use the lg support tool. You need to install the v500 driver for it to connect to the tablet. Factory reset will not fix it. You must re-flash firmware in this way.
Of course this may not be of use to many but it is what i have found works best. Hope this helps somebody. I went through that exact same scenario as you did, OP, and that is how i solved it. BUT now i am trying to find a way to crack the bootloader because i want to fix or get rid of 5.0.

Any Chance you could put links to the support tool and the driver? If I have KingRoot on already, should I restart or just uninstall before rooting with Mobile Go?

My account is apparently too new to post the links but just google the lg mobile usb driver and go to lg support page for the tool
To do a fresh flash you go to update recovery in the top menu when connected.You may have to fiddle with it a bit, good luck.
Flash it before using mobilego. Kingroot is a plague and you should get rid of it first.

fix a bootloop?

I tried to install xposed on my brand new zf2. latest stock rom version. stuck in a boot loop. (only saw the warnings to not do so after it was too late -.- ) whats the easiest way to fix this? anyone? I've seen the ways to unbrick, but wondering if there's a simpler way, since I can enter the menu and all, and I've got ADB installed (already rooted via adb) I assume there's a simple way to reflash the firmware?
thanks in advance for any help
EDIT: specifically, if it makes any difference, I used method 3 in the resources all in one thread to root. (1 click root tool) I'd REALLY like a way to remove xposed from the device and restore the boot without losing some files. I had some data on my micro sd card from my old phone, I saved it to the zf2 and when removing the micro sd card, it seems to have broken, I just tried putting my old micro sd card back into my old phone, and I got nothing. so the amount of potential lost data here is rather discouraging. failing that, is there any way to copy data from the device before reflashing the firmware?
things I have done so far: rooted, installed busybox, then tried to install xposed framework

Hi,
2.20.40.160 firmware for Z00A isn't compatible yet with Xposed.

I need some advice on downgrading from MM, rooting etc

My T800 is in a right state. I was running one of the first MM roms to be released in the wild, with root and twrp. But a couple of months ago, I mistakenly installed the correct official MM rom, breaking everything. Now I can't root it, install twrp and adopted storage doesn't work.
So I was hoping I could downgrade to lollipop, root, install twrp and then update to one of the root-friendly MM roms on here. Is it possible to do that?

I'm not sure what you mean by break everything?
A few more specifics is required.

By "broken" I mean, apps crashing, apps not installing, freezing, random rebooting, overheating. The sorts of things which drive you mental and, in effect, break everything.
I must have wiped and installed the OS a dozen times over the weekend. I was able to get the correct version of twrp and install it with odin, letting me wipe the system and data partitions in order to get a clean install. I restored all my apps, installed a system update. Then I installed twrp again, flashed the su zip and for some reason it would start freezing, reporting the sd card had been removed. So I eventually wiped, installed the rom, and then let Smart Switch install the correct version of MM for my tablet and just installed the really essential apps. Then twrp and finally su. I was even able to set half of my sd card up as adoptable storage (using root essentials app) and it is working perfectly now.
But I think its time I was looking out for a replacement tablet now. Although a great device at the time, and for a couple of years afterwards, it has become a bit long in the tooth lately.

In order to rule out any external issues, I'd use odin to flash the factory firmware (this of course will erase TWRP). Remove the sd card, and use the device for a while as is. If it works, then your past problems were some kind of software-related problem. If it still has issues, then there could be a hardware problem, like memory or the rest of logic board.

I think he's got it sorted now. Seems that's what he's already done.
