I'm having trouble locating finding the stock kernel for my VS980 G2. Does anyone know how I can acquire it? I would like to install Dorimanxs' kernel but want to have a backup of stock to be safe. Thanks.

Just create backup before flashing new kernel. Then you can restore just the boot part of backup to return to stock. Or you can just dirty flash whatever ROM you are running and it will overwrite it.

Anyone willing to help me get this zip package I found in the Epic forum to run on a Nexus S 4g?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027904
"epic4g.stock.recovery.ec05.zip
The Samsung stock recovery, for uninstalling ClockworkMod, useful for turning in the phone to Sprint.
Do not flash the stock recovery unless your phone boots into system, and you need to turn the phone in."
I recently broke my USB plug inside my phone and am only able to charge (even charging is going out). I think many people could take advantage of it when they are not in front of a computer to return to stock.
Thanks whomever is able to help
You had to go and make this post in two sub forums of the nexus s forums eh...
Don't install that, just flash a stock rom that's unrooted and it should over ride your custom recovery.

I wasn't able to find any non-rooted stock rom's for the Nexus S 4G. Could anyone point me towards the right direction?
Try peter alfonsos website? One should be under "crespo4g" in the downloads section.

Neither of those sites contain a non-rooted stock ns4g roms. They only contain rooted roms and OTA updates which require stock non-rooted roms to use.
The one Sean posted are the ones you are looking for

The ones Sean posted only contain OTA incremental updates. I still need to have an unrooted stock from installed to use them. I've tried all variations using all the stock rooted roms from Pete and they do not update. Error parsing file each time.

Did you try the software image on peters site ? That's exactly what you need if I'm hearing you right. Not the rooted stock ROMS but the image

Am I supposed to flash the image from CWM because my USB port is damaged and can't run adb.

I know what tour talking about. When I had my epic they had a non ROOTED stock rom that was flashable via cwm then the had a stock recovery that would remove cwm which was also flashable through cwm

I'm not sure if that's what you need to do , I thought you just wanted the image and you knew how to do the rest. I don't want to tell you something that might just brick your phone

ROM Manager should have your stock GB to download and flash. You would then be unrooted when you are done. It always works for me.
Here is the ns4g 2.3.5 full ota rom: http://android.clients.google.com/p...882446e0.signed-sojus-ota-138666.504d8824.zip. This will unroot you and return you to the stock rom and recovery.
This will not re-lock your bootloader, though. In order to lock the bootloader without a cable, you'll to build a modified kernel to use Ezekeel's hack. (To state the obvious, this would require root access and a custom recovery, so you'd want to do this before flashing the stock rom .)

Thank you. I ended up flashing stock rooted from Pete, and with no questions asked, they handed me a refurbished one.

Hoping someone has a stock recovery zip for the att version of the g2. Have been looking but haven't found anything.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

****, I need this, too. I'm thinking that you need the stock recovery to use storage encryption for non-AOSP based ROMs... Any luck finding it elsewhere?
I found the stock recovery, but it didn't make a difference when trying to encrypt a non-AOSP ROM.

Is the stock kernel available for Kitkat? I thought about trying another kernel but hat the thought of having to restore a backup or fish the factory image again. I am running stock rooted Kitkat

Its the wrong section mate. But here is the stock one. I made a flashable zip. Should work.
Sorry man. Thank you though. I didn't pay enough attention. Hopefully a mod can move this.

The above link works just fine, but in adition I would recomend you to check Nexus Root Toolkit, from our member WugFresh. It has you covered in pretty much anything you can do with your nexus device regarding flashing, restoring, backuping , etc...

Hi everyone, quick question. After i root can I install a custom recovery and boot into the stock rom? I want to be able to make a full nandroid back-up of the stock rom before i flash a new custom rom.

Yah you can go back to your stock ROM after custom recovery, doesn't effect ROM.....also you can make a backup just fine
Sweet! Thanks. Can you recommend a stable 4.4 rom?
Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk
Paranoid Android, Mahdi, OmniRom, SlimKat etc2 ...
you have to taste them all to know which one suits your requirement but those 4 definitely at the top of the piles
Awesome thanks for all the help!

Why would you need someone else's nandroid?
Why don't you just simply download a fresh install package?

Just download any custom rom install package and flash with custom recovery.
Obviously you already have custom recovery.
I don't believe bootloader version matters for custom rom.

Sorry I don't know about miui never used it on sg4, I used it on HTC desire HD and never liked it.
With out knowing myself, can you not flash custom rom at all,? have you actually tried? Does it error out while install any custom rom?
I'm not advanced enough with sg4 and I'm still on old bootloader so no idea about this BS bootloader issues so I'll back out now and I hope someone smarter can help.
(Can't remember having these BS issues with my old HTC's)

Someone else's nandroid isn't going to fix this issue for you. Once you've got the new bootloader, that's it.
