[Q] How to recover stock recovery after flashing CWM? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just downgraded 2.3.4 to 2.2.1, and I want a custom ROM. But if i ever want to go back to stock, non rooted, won't clockwork mod be there? Or will it not be there because I would have restored from a Nandroid backup? Thank you I'm sorta a noob at rooting!

if you flash the PD15IMG.zip file, it will wipe EVERYTHING, and restore the whole system back to stock, including the recovery.

Ok so if I restore to 2.2.1 using PD15IMG.zip, I won't need to worry about CWM! Thank you!!

[Q] Titanium Backup

I plan on installing the Gingerbread Custom Rom on my rooted Samsung Epic 4G with DK28 leak.
But, I want to know, when using Titanium Backup, I don't know exactly what things I have to backup to keep all my information and applications. (Well, I know how to backup the apps, but which keep all my information)
Could someone possibly give me a list of what to backup? Thanks!
Also, do you wipe three times in a row in cwm?
And after I wipe, do I have to reinstall Titanium Backup to restore?

returning to stock

i rooted my mytouch and installed the Official CyanogenMOD 7 Nightlies rom but what do i ned to do to return to the stock rom?thanks
You need to have saved it with a nandroid backup and just restore from recovery. If you did no backup then you'll have to search for a stock rom.

Rom manager works through clockwork mod. If you did a backup you can access it from rom manager in restore backup. If you wanna backup your current rom u can do so then. Also check the wipe data box. Always wipe data when flashing a new rom. Unless its just an update to your current rom and the dev instructs you that its not necessary

Do a search for pd15img.zip.

Look in the development section. There are a ton of step by step guides if you search.

To revert back all you need to is flash the original tmobile rom that is in the rom development and it will take u back to the original state without root

Find the above file, have it saved to root of sdcard, boot into bootloader, bootloader will find the file on the card and prompt to install the stock image... follow prompts and done.
Nandroid first but really is easy.

I first flashed the 2.2.1 OTA. Then I flashed the stock recovery. Afterwards, flashed the stock radio. That's what I did. All are available in the Development section.

You could have used pd15img.zip to do all of that in one flash via hboot.
It's safer to flash back to the stock radio first to avoid getting stuck in a limbo situation in which attempting to flash back to stock results in "Main version older" with radio s-on rather than do it all in one step.

This guide should solve your problem. It involves hex editing the misc.img among other things to allow you to successfully flash back to stock.

If you used the gfree method of rooting, the following guide is pretty good:

[Q] Do I have to update my my touch 4g to flash a rom?

Because I'm running on a rooted 2.2.1 phone. I followed gfree's ultimate root and now I want to flash a mod , so do I have to update my software?
Anyone ?...........
You can just start flashing. You're already set. Just make sure you boot into recovery and make nandroid of your current rom. Might want to update recovery through rom manager before anything though.

You must downgrade to 2.2.1 before attaining S-Off.
No one here recommends HTC Dev.

ok thank you
I incorrectly assumed you had S-On.
Do you have a custom recovery? If so, there is a rooted 2.3.4 in the dev section you can flash.

You bet. As long as it's for the myTouch 4G.
On our phone, S-Off is the most important thing. Flash away. Just make sure you wipe data, cache, dalvik and system at minimum. I would recommend you look into 4EXT recovery if you don't have it.
