well I was at work and was going to flash a new rom on my g2 sprint ZVA (latest ota). anyway I really screwed my self here.i hit format data instead of formatting system without even realizing white I had done. need to go back to stock now. I found a couple unbrick/unroot guides but as I can see they are all for ZV7 or ZV8 firmwares. can I use these methods then OTA to latest ZVA?? Please help. thanks
can someone please explain what I need to do to go back to orig stock LS980ZVA. im so confused on all the info ive went thru. really I just need to know if I can use the tool to get on ZV8 and then do a OTA update to get to LS980ZVA. please help. thanks

No you dont flash back to stock through a .zip update. You have to follow those instructions if you want your phone to be unrooted and back stock. Its not a hard process to do
Will this restore OTA update capabilities. I've read on other threads where once rooted it will still download but not INSTALL the updates, anyone know??
Thanks
Hey guys,
Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere, but I've searched around without any luck. Looks like I didn't do a nandroid backup of my stock ROM with Rogers, and now I'm experiencing the hardware problem with the primary speaker not working. Tried reflashing the current ROM on the phone without any luck, and now Rogers is replacing it, but I'd rather not dish out more money when the see it's been changed.
Anyone have any suggestions, or perhaps a stock rom image from a nandroid backup they did with rogers?
Everything you need is in post #11 of this MoDaCo thread- http://android.modaco.com/content/acer-liquid-liquid-modaco-com/317403/acer-lquid-e-rom-upgrade/
Best of luck in getting your device replaced.
That's awesome. Thanks for the link. I'll try this out later tonight.
Ok...so I have been reading and have been quite disappointed...As most of you are aware Rogers and Fido now have the new 2.2 OS out for the Acer liquid e however I am running a leaked version with Malez...and from what I can tell acer did something and because of what I did and from what I can tell I will now not be able to update to the stock rom. From what I can tell it somehow recognizes that the phone is rooted and because of that it cannot be updated..Will this work around help with this problem?

Go to Modaco and search for "fido rogers any phone", something like that.
I did however for some reason I keep getting an error when flashing with the acer tool...I just gave up after a while..tried for over 2 days...I am not sure if it is my computer or some kind of issue with the software

You did what? If you went to Modaco and got the rom by alan009 then you need to flash it with Malez, not acer tools. Acer tools is only meant to flash .bin files. Plus if you read that thread there are a ton of people doing it and asking questions, so no need to get stuck.
Good Luck.
Oh...maybe I did get the info from that post..I was using a set of instructions that I downloaded...It was how to put back your acer to stock rogers rom...It had all the instructions and instructed me to use the acer tool and flash something...It was a while back...I will have to go back and check it out then...I bought the new dell streak and a galaxy s so I kind of put the acer on the back burner...When i get some time i will check it out...thanks man
Looking for stock Recovery.img
Hey guys ^^
I'm looking for the stock recovery.img that comes with Liquid E. The link mentioning where I can find what I need in the above posts has expired but It has lead me to what I believe I need. All except the original recovery.img
I need to send my phone in for repairs. I accidently blew my speakers(both front speaker and back) Its pretty much my fault. Im a welder and I got metal shards in the speakers and I used a magnet to get them out. A big no no lol. Im hoping to pull a fast one on Acer considering I've had the speaker problems where I cant hear the person calling me.
Anywho, I believe I have my old nandriod back up. Im just hoping it not my nandriod back up from my G1. =s Any tips on what I can do to find the stock recovery.img from rogers would be cool and maybe some advice what to check befor I send in my Liquid E? Much Appreciated ^^
PS! My nandroid back up Is rooted I thinks. Do I need to un-root befor I send it in?
If all goes well Ill make sure to put up a link to help the next person in my position. Including my nandroid back up
Ciao - Terry
Bump
I flashed the bin and it replaced Malez, Im assuming this is the stock recovery.img. but now I need to install Malez to restore my nandroid back up. Im not quite sure how to pull out the recovery.img and then put it back in when I'm done. help?!
Can anyone direct me to a guide to return the Atrix to stock without original firmware and no root. I have a problem with my fine and I need to have it replaced by AT&T, but want to have it back to normal before I return it. I know I seen the guide before, but I just cant find it.
Im currently running version 1.57 and it has sideload enabled from when I rooted before updating. Im not sure if that matters. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
i think you need to follow this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991072
just install 1.2.6 "original" file, then get the 1.5.7 update from motorola (from the phone) and thats it.

use the search function next time.
also they don't look to see if its rooted. just tell them you have an issue with call quality and they'll just exchange it.
Thanks for the responses. For some reason I was having a problem with XDA for a few hours yesterday (still am actually) and the search function will not work. No matter what I put in it says no results are available. Still trying to figure out why its happening.
Thanks for the link saar73, I was actually looking at that post but wasnt sure if thats what I should do because I wasnt familiar with flashing a SBF. Ive never heard of stock being called a SBF file. I try that right now. Thanks again.
Hello all, I did a quick search and did not find an answer, so I apologize if this was asked already. This is sort of a 2 part question.
First, I wanted to try out the official 4.4 on my D801 so I used THIS file to update without loosing root access. The only loss is it takes away your TWRP. Is there anyway I can get a recovery installed so I can switch between stock and custom? That would be awesome.
If its not possible, is there a way for me to downgrade so I can use ROM's again? I know its easy with a .kdz on a PC, but unfortunately (I really mean it, this sucks) I have a mac.
I really appreciate any help!
Thank you!

Im already on 4.4 though, so Im more or less stuck then. I dont have a PC to downgrade with. Im on mac.
Hey guys.
I know this is a lot of ask and maybe even impossible, but I've messed my phone up pretty bad and it's being sold tomorrow. Accidentally tried to update a a rooted device and its stuck in TWRP bootloop.
is there anyway someone can send me a D803 Telus stock 4.4 rom? Or how to get one? the "go back to stock" thread is confusing and the host site to download all the drivers is down at the moment.
thanks, sorry in advance. lol
Wow. How lazy can you be? Go back to stock thread got super easy since a new, easier to use tool has been released.
