[Q] Did anyone backup their stock tmo rom before deleting bloatware?

Hi, first post -been a long time lurker
Rooted my mytouch and went along uninstalling bloatware using titanium backup, wanted to reinstall a few of the programs and found that I can't.
I really would just like to restore the factory rom on it, did anyone make a copy that I could download?
Thanks

You'll probably need to wait until Clockworkmod gets ported, that way you can restore from a nandroid backup. Alternatively, you should be able to get to recovery and restore back to factory from there. Easiest way to do that is to open up adb and run adb reboot recovery. If the option to restore isn't there, turn off fast boot in options and then power off the phone. Hold volume down and power at the same time until a menu with a few options comes up. Press the volume down button until you get to factory reset and then press the power button to confirm the selection.

You should be able to just through this mofo on there...

Thanks for the suggestions, nothing has helped so far. I was able to restore the phone, but the system apps that I deleted are permanently gone. Thats what I'm looking for...
I downloaded the "stock" tmo rom from the other thread and tried to install it from rom manager with no success. When I'm in recovery, I get the error can't read zip file when I try to apply the stock rom.
So, any other suggestions?
Thx

Only thing I can think of is you're gonna have to wait for a stock nandroid backup to be posted.

I am going through the same thing. If you look at my post I've posted the files and someone is being very helpful. What programs do you need? I might the apk's you need.

I found thr solution, was able to get the phone back to 2.2 stock!
I'll post instructions in a few, thanks all for the help

Any luck? There are a few people over on the dev board stating future updates may not work without some of the bloatware crap (per their experience on a MT3G), so I'd like to know how you pulled this off if I have to go that route in the future.

You can try this to go back to complete stock.

Thats exactly what I ended up doing. I was running 2.2.1 and had the phone rooted and was able to restore it to stock 2.2.
Worked great, Thanks!

Can someone post the swype apk from this rom? I backed it up in titanium, but it won't restore

[REQ] Nandroid Restore Zip

I have perm root with S OFF but have come in to quite a problem. I am having problems with the screen flickering on and off and need to exchange the device. The problem is, the nandroid backup that I made is inaccessible, and I have removed most of the stock apps off the phone.
The SD card I created the backup on seems to be corrupt, I cant even get it to mount anymore on my PC. Is there anyone that created a full nandroid back that can point me to the file (be willing to share)?
I have searched everywhere and can't seem to locate one.
Thanks for the help!

why don't you just use the "Downgrade ROM and Radio from OTA to Stock" thread?
Edit: Oh, and this is the wrong place for your thread also. Prob should go in general or Q&A.

The downgrade rom won't work w/ S-Off I don't believe. I would also a appriciate a nand backup, just the system.img if anyone has one to share.

Also, the OTA update will not be received again if you do the downgrade.

Are you asking for a NAND backup of the 2.2.1 stock rom?
If so, I'll see if I can't make one for you tonight when I get home. My work's internet connection is pretty crappy and it would take forever and a day to upload.

I think it should work. if it does it should restore your hboot to orignal as well.

Take a look at this thread. It has the link to the official RUU and the install instructions.
This should get you back to stock, although I have not tried it yet. I grabbed it just in case I would need it.

And as mentioned in that thread, nobody who has followed that process has received the OTA update after having reverted back to stock.

As you should know if he's returning his phone he doesn't need to receive the OTA anymore. Just follow that thread. I had a rooted white one restored and took it back to get a black one. That's much easier then trying to use someone else's backup.

He said he was returning the phone, so receiving the OTA is not really necessary.
Those instructions explain how to get it back to stock, as requested.

OEM stock is 2.2. Post first OTA update is 2.2.1
I would not mind getting a hold of that, as it would make it easier to possible get the 2nd OTA (about which I have read nothing about what it does).
Also wondering if anyone has lost root and rerooted after the 2nd update.

So I am absolutely fail.
On my first device, I guess I had just froze the bloatware apps rather than deleted them because they were restored after a factory reset before I returned it to the store.
On this one, I actually deleted the bloatware apps and they are permanently gone, factory reset doesn't bring them back, and I didn't do a Titanium backup until after I had deleted them off. ><

I did the same thing. I hope someone will post the factory rom with all the .apk files that I could install. The only one i've found is the rom without the OTA.

I actually need a 2.2.1 nandroid as well. Could someone please post one?

Here you go guys. Where I failed, another succeeded!

[Q] Updating after I removed bloatware...

Recently I finally got around to rooting my X to get rid of some of the bloatware that is on the phone. I realized about 30 seconds after removing them that I might not should have done that for fear of future updates not installing correctly.
Now today the update has come out and this morning I tried to install it. I thought everything was going fine, the phone rebooted and I got a popup stating that the update had failed.
Can someone please let me know what should be done so that I can get the update? I can't seem to find anywhere what I should do... I don't use any custom ROMs or anything, just the plain system the X came with (well now except for the missing bloatware)
Thanks in advance!

just put the bloatware back and update again

I've currently having the same issue. Is there a way to get the Verizon apps back from the market?

Well... I haven't been able to find all the individual files for what I deleted... to be honest I don't even remember what all was on there before it was deleted.

I tried doing a restore to factory and that did not work.

The Team Black Hat app has stock images available. Rom Manager's free edition might as well, but I'm not sure off the top of my head.

back up?
did you back up prior to deleting the bloatware? maybe run that back up and then update?

How do you use rom manager? I selected the droid x recovery mod but what do i do after that?

I just tried booting into recovery mode and even thats not working. I get the droid with the exclamation mark.

Sadly I did not

Look around for the 2.2 sbf and instructions for rsd and booting into the bootloader and not recovery. That should get you back to stock. Or look around for the 2.2.1 (340) sbf that will give you the update. I applied 2.2.1 without reloading the bloatware.

Cool thanks for the idea... so if I can load the 2.2.1 sbf that will put the phone back to the latest version with stock settings again?
EDIT: This method worked and I was able to update. Thanks a bunch!

Does anyone have the City ID bloatware APK that they can post?

Hi Andrew,
I am in the same position as you and need to get my apps back to stock to enable me to update. Can you tell me if the SBF will actually delete my data and applications, or is it just for the system only?
Also - is it difficult to apply? Finally - where did you get the SBF file from?
Thanks for your help

Android Central...how to reinstall bloatware....sorry I'm unable to submit the link here.It lists all apps.

Android central has a list of all apk's for all apps that came with 2.2. I googled reinsralling bloatware. Sorry I can't post the link, not allowed.

maybe i can recover using it? not real up on this stuff yet. OBVIOUSLY!

recovery?
learning
well i flashed the recovery didn't help.
i wonder if theres some kind of recovery image out there that comes with the stock apps. that would fix the problem. i think

I posted a fix for this a few months ago (in this forum). Just do a search for it.

Just flash an entirely new rom, such as MikShiftG, if you want a sense based rom. Make sure to wipe data/factory reset, cache, and dalvik.
Or you can go back to stock, by running the RUU. This is the android 2.2 RUU, not the Gingerbread RUU, which can't be rooted just yet.
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Speedy
Edit: You can also flash the One "zip" RUU. Make sure to select the one no hboot included. You will need to flash a recovery, and flash a new rom.

If you go back to stock, make sure to update to the one in the second link I gave, without the hboot. I wouldn't want you to lose root, and not be able to get it back. You should at least keep S-OFF in the bootloader.

I saw your post and ran the first link in your post right away b4 i saw your second post. So it's up and running again just not rooted. I imagine i can go back and reroot it using the same method i used last time?
[Win32 Tool]GUI Root with Check and Recovery!.
Thanks for your help and i saved both speedy files hopefully never need then again but you never know!

No going back?

So, to my new found knowledge I made a big mistake.
I rooted my Nexus 6P for the first time ever, and I used the Nexus Toolkit to root after failing miserably via the classic method. After I rooted I installed some minor tweaks and I then decided to step it up and install lineage OS. I installed it with not much problem. I tried installing another slight tweak and I saw the message of "System UI has stopped". I panicked and factory reset and am installing again to the first version of Lineage I tried (which worked). I then started thinking...
If I want to uninstall lineage how do I get back to my stock OS?
I then saw all the forum posts on other devices and they all said just install the old ROM you backed up.
Guess who didn't back it up.
I wanted to see if there was any way I could get my stock OS back, I don't care if I can or can't sync my app with Titanium backup I just want stock back. I would've posted this in anohter seciton but since im new I thought I would put it in general rather than other less fitting subsections.

You can always go back. Just download the factory image and use adb to reinstall a fresh factory install.

Easiest thing to do is download the stock OTA from Google and simply adb sideload it via adb sideload command on your pc. Also I recommend trying different roms than lineage as many roms are based off it but with added features and improvements. I use this rom which includes the opengapps package for Google apps like play store. I recommend wiping everything and going back to stock and trying this rom or another one of your choice.
