Just fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Pulled directly from the ERD79 stock images.zip.
That's it? Just boot to fastboot and select recovery ?
Will this work for nonrooted phones?

If you're nonrooted then you still have the stock recovery.
This is for people who've flashed a custom recovery and wish to go back to shipping.
Problem is this won't help people who have rooted roms and are trying to maintain it. The official updates fail on rooted roms.
We have to just wait for one of the devs to patch it up so we can flash it.
so what do you do then if you are not rooted?

Not willing to wipe entire phone and loose everything. I want an upgrade path, not a clean install path. It is mighty tempting at this point though...

*shrug* I just did the ERD79->2.1 update-1->FRF50->FRF83 update. Took about 20 minutes coming from paul's rooted FRF50.
I've just purchased a 2nd hand N1. How can I tell if I'm running the stock or custome img?
I know from rooting/customROMing my Hero a little about img's but what's the name of the stock img on a N1?
Cool, thanks.

Boot into recovery. If you get a triangle and an exclamation point then you have the stock recovery.

sorry to resurrect but you must be lucky as **** cause all of mine have failed in amon... both of those builds too! Clockwork dosent help either!
Amon RA 2.x works fine with OTA updates as long as you turn off signature checking, same with ClockworkMod.

The easiest is to flash Amon_RA v1.9.0. That version has signature checking OFF by default. Makes it super simple to flash OTA updates on a stock ROM (rooted or not).
Here's a link to stock FRG83G and recovery.img, which will allow you to get the OTA notification and update:

I actually have a slightly different problem, how do I prevent my custom recovery rom from being flashed back to stock? I am running a rooted version of 2.3.4, and it seems like every now and then when I reboot, I lose my custom recovery!
Remove /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
i have a nandroid of ji6. do i just apply that and flash a ji6 kernal? can someone link me to one if so? if not, can someone explain how to do it? thanks.
I believe you have to ODIN the official JI6 release (you can find it in the dev forum). Then you have to root, install ROM Manager, and nandroid your way back to where you were.
The key is to Odin a Rom, any Rom, that has the JI6 kernel.
Odin JI6 and then nandroid.
Nandroid doesn't install the kernel, so you would end up with a "brick" if you tried to nandroid on a 2.2 rom.
thanks guys! loving obsidian so far, but i think i need the signal strength boost from ji6.
Nope, I was on Obsidian and just flashed straight back to Bionic Fusion through clockworkmod recovery (straight, not through ROM Manager), and then Core kernel on top of that. I'm running perfect apart from slow market downloads (mostly my fault I think--accidentally deleted some system apparently and then restored; downloads work, but fussy)
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
that's because bionix flashes the kernal along with the rom. nandroid doesn't. that is why i asked if i could just flash the ji6 kernel after restoring my nandroid.
ATTN: Don't give advice if you don't know what you're talking about.
On to the post:
You can feel free to nandroid or flash to/from anything. However, if your Obsidian install is like many other peoples, you probably can't do crap in recovery. In that case, you need to Odin. However, if your recovery does work, just flash the rom and the kernel (or just the rom, if the kernel is included)
OK ill give it a shot if I decide I don't like obsidian. Thanks.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
By can't do crap do you mean can't flash or can't access clockwork mod? (I can boot into clockworkmod just fine)

Ah, sorry. I thought the issue was whether you have to ODIN back to stock in order to roll back from Froyo.
For me the safest was to ODIN JFD, then flash JI6.

**Sigh**
Searching is helpful man, really. There was a thread about this yesterday. Use the program at this link: One Click Root And Recovery
One of its options is a root uninstaller. But FYI as long as you don't install custom roms or delete stock apps you can be rooted and get OTA updates. Again, this is all information you can get using the search function so please, in the future search first.
EDIT: Removed. Duplicate of what kenvan19 said...
But taking a second look at your sig, you may need to flash a stock rom/kernel first, but it may be easier to just use Odin to fully return to a stock phone removing all changes.

RootUninstaller is Old. Needs updating.
I encounter some problems using the link kevin gave with the root uninstaller. Attempts failed. I am on EC05 trying to uninstall the root and cwm using old DI18 rootuninstaller.
Any one know if there is an updated version?
just ODIN stock ec05. Or ODIN stock di18 then do update to ec05.

If you have a rooted stock kernel and ROM it will. But if you have a custom ROM and kernel you need to Odin back. Mybackup Pro will allow you to backup and restore unrooted.

Nope, has anyone tried unrooting? The unroot method does not want to work on EC05. It goes through the process and on everything its says failed! rm /**** no permissions. Also ran CWM to fix permissions..
I still can't find a solution. Stock EC05 that is rooted to 2.5.1.0 using one click root.
Any other tips?

MyBackup Pro wont restore app data without root. I haven't found anything that will. Has it done it for you? The website says if rooted it will restore app+data. I really just need data.

Ok I am full rooted thanks to un-revoked.
I have downloaded the new update on my phone but havent installed yet, Battery was to low so gave me a notification in status bar to update later.
I understand i have to flash to the Amon ra recovery.
all i want is the stock rom, with the ability to use wireless tether and adfree, so obviously i need superuser permission.
Will i have to flash to a stock rooted rom?? or will i just be able to install these and be good to go?? is there even a stock rooted rom out yet??
Thanks for any and help. love the site dont post much cause normally i can figure things out, but wanna double check on this one.
Here you go.

Make back up and perform full wipes.
You must install the rooted Rom for precautionary reasons.
so should i even update my phone then?? or should i just flash right to one of these?? seems like it would be easier just flashing right too those since i currently have clockwork installed.

No difference really. Just flash the odexed version and that is all. No kernel needed.
I'm not familiar with cwmod so I can't guide you through the flash but also you need to have an updated version.

I have same situation. I had rooted HC 3.2.1. Yesterday I made the update to stock ICS. I have to say that I am not happy with this new rom. It is not so smooth and fast that I expected. I am intrested to install some nice and fast custom rom. How to do it? What is need to be done to root and install the ClockworkMod??????
Worked perfectly and easily on mine. Acer_AV041_A500_1.033.00_PA_CUS1
I used the method as above, coming from the stock ota. And it worked I was able to use the battery saver and TB. I don't have a custom recovery, in order to do a back up for the time being but that is okay for now.
Edit: I see there is a bunch more threads started with this same topic so feel free to shut this down.
Hey did you unroot before installing the OTA ICS update? Also, what about recovery?
Acer_A500_041.205.01_COM_GEN2
Just to clarify, the root method for the ICS leak works on the US ICS OTA? (Acer_A500_041.205.01_COM_GEN2)
I just want to make sure, as I am being offered the OTA update from stock rooted Acer_A500_7.014.02_COM_GEN2. I want to make sure I can re-root if I do the update. Otherwise, I'll just wait for a CWM-flashable rooted version. Or has someone already posted that that I've missed?
Yes I was rooted. Then went back to my original stock ROM and stock recovery then went through all the updates. I updated this morning to the stock ics from Acer. Then used the thread above to root again. However I do not have a custom recovery at the moment but root access apps are working just fine. Which is all I need for now.(I live in southern Michigan)
thanks. A question about your custom recovery...Does Acer Recovery Installer no longer work to install CWM again? Or have you just not attempted to re-install CWM?

okay cool thanks. What did you use to unroot? For flashing back to stock recovery I will use "Acer Recovery Installer".
I tried using iconiaroot which I used to root but it still won't unroot my tablet. I even tried restarting and still nothing.
I lost root when doing the updates to clarify. And no I do not have a recovery at the moment, which I don't need because I am running ics with rooted apps that is all I need. I have no reason to flash a custom ROM. I will let the developers work with this for a bit and I will probably check it or later

Okay great thanks. Glad to know it still worked, flashing the ota update with still having root. Only thing that worries me is I flashed back to stock recovery using that program an went I booted to recovery, it was exclamation point inside a triangle. Hope that doesn't affect my update process.

I hope a root option comes out that doesn't require a ROM like gingerbreak. Maybe it's not possible for ICS or there aren't any developers interested in working on it, I don't know, but I'll wait.
It shouldn't your stock recovery is different then a custom recovery ie cwm. You will have to find another thread or something to flash a custom recovery. If your wanting to have a custom ROM. I have no need for it. So to put this into a nut shell.
Flash back to stock ROM (honeycomb)
Flash stock recovery.
Except the ota.
Use the link in first post to"re root"your device.
You will have a stock ROM from Acer that has root access. No recovery.

I thought having my tablet simply rooted wouldnt cause a big issue, i didnt flash it, im still running 3.2 gen 2 but no update for ics has appeared, when checking for update it says im up to date, ive checked several times, tried looking into it seeing if i had to unroot somehow which ive found no program that will unroot my tablet successfully i do not want to wipe because last time i rooted it wiped and i lost alot of important data i couldnt back up. Someone please advise me or send me the Canadian/USA Update Zip or other location for the official ics. Thanks!
