From Miui to Stock?

I just bought a used G2 and it is ruining Miui. How do i revert back to the factory rom?

you'll need to flash the stock rom or run the recovery from the phone
Sent from my HTC Desire Z running MIUI 1.8.12 with Pershoot Kernel.

Thanks, but how do you run the recovery from the phone? I dont know what that means?

Hi,
Check out the HTC G2 wiki
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision

I tried the technique listed above and it still won't revert to the original software. Is there any other way i can make the phone like it was in the box?

You tried which technique? Did you follow the "returning to stock" procedure from the Wiki? That will unroot and return your phone to bone-stock.
If you want to keep root but be on stock ROM, just go to the dev section and download a stock pre-rooted ROM.

Remove CM7.1

Searched the entire XDA forum and couldn't find a thread like this one (at least one that explains what i want to accomplish). Let's cut to the chase...
CyanogenMod7.1 - i've got it and i used it and i don't like it (don't ask me why, maybe i used touchwiz for too long so i got accustomed to it ), so i want my original kernel and ROM back... And I know exactly which ones to use , got them downloaded right here. The thing is - I'm not sure how to do it. Should i use clockworkmod recovery and flash it? Should i use RomManager? Should i use Odin? Any help from someone who has done would be appreciated.
And also , one more question... Somewhere i found a comment by a guy that says that if i was to flash back original ROM and kernel i would still be stuck with a custom recovery. Can anyone explain that too ?
If by ANY chance a thread like this exists I'm sorry i opened a new one ( I really did search for a long time ). Cheers everyone

The desktop version suits me just fine -.-

Hey, im pretty sure your answer has been answered many times before in guides how to flash ROMs.
You haven't stated what ROM you were on previous so i will assume that it was stock.
if you are flashing a full stock ROM use Odin, look at the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
It has a full guide to which files go where to get back to your stock rom and kernal.
ps. the comment you mentioned, that person might have been referring to a custom ROM, if you chose to flash a custom rom based on stock then you would stay with a custom recovery.

Thanks for the reply, I know about intratech's thread , that's where i downloaded my stock from. The thing is I wasn't sure which way to do it. I read more about recovery last night and i found out that on sgsII it is linked to the rom, so basically when i flash a stock rom and a stock kernel using odin i would get the normal - default recovery partition? Should I wipe data/cache before flashing back the stock ?

If you downloaded from Intratechs post you will get a stock rom with a stock kernel, this will give you a default recovery. All of the downloads there are 100% samsung so there wont be anything modded or changed.
You wont have to wipe data/cache before you do it as when flashing via odin you will be putting your phone in to download mode and odin will do the rest.
Just make sure to read the guide in Intratechs thread to the letter.
My advise to you for the future is to read up completly before flashing something just so you arent stuck with something you dont like on your phone.

Flashed it and all is fine now... Altough i did get an infinite boot loop so i had to wipe data/cache anyway for the phone to boot properly... So I guess it wouldn't hurt to do it before flashing stock... Btw i knew what i was flashing , i wanted to try it out... Ty for the reply

The latest Gingerbread is XXLC2. Yes, you can flash an ICS Rom, but I'd wait a bit if I were you. You need to learn quite a bit before being able to cope with Beta ICS Roms.

First you need to flash an older Rom so you can successfully root it. THis is how it's done:

There are ways to improve your Note's performance without root, yes. But you won't be able to significantly improve it. Too much bloatware in stock Roms that you cannot successfully remove.

Thanks
Thanks so much for the reply, but i m on 2.36 already, do i need to flash?

I suggest you to stay on LB3 and wait for Official ICS to release. however ICS AOSP ROMs are available Here . Before you flash any AOSP ICS ROM you need to root your device and other all details are available on above linked Development page.

But my phone's model is N7000B, will that affect?

Well, I think flashing ROMs these days is pretty easy. I am no expert but I've had no problems with flashing different ROMs as such and I flash new ROM every week or two. I am currently using Imilka's AOSP, which is generally pure ICS Android. Before this I was using CheckROM HD, great battery life and performance, based on GB.
GB ROMs are a bit easier to flash and have better performance and stability than all these ICS ROMs (apart from Imilka's AOSP, I find it just too good).
Open up the Android Development section for Note, read a few threads thoroughly, decide your ROM and go for it.
Rooting instructions are very well explained by Dr Ketan in his threads. You can't go wrong about it.
To summarize:
1. Flash an older rootable GB ROM through PC Odin.
2. Install ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM). See Dr Ketan's guide.
3. (OPTIONAL) Install Titanium Backup and backup all your apps and their data. (Use batch operations)
4. Boot up into CWM, scroll to backup/restore and create a backup of your current ROM. This is a VERY VERY IMPORTANT step. Just in case anything goes wrong or you're not happy with your new ROM, you can go back to your older, original GB ROM with all your data and settings intact.
5. Choose your ROM.
6. Read it's thread thoroughly, especially the installation instructions. Do just like the creator says. If there's a video, follow it!
7. (OPTIONAL) Restore your data through TB.
8. Enjoy your new ROM.

Does VBMETA have to be applied with each rom?

Or is doing this simply a one off if you are coming from a MIUI rom? I am technically adept and have been flashing roms for many years and things are always changing. So I just want to be sure.

Flash it only when you go to custom rom coming from miui stock rom, other than that you don't have to flash it or the vendor when you jump between the other custom roms

So it's kind of like a condom. :good: Thank you!

LOL

Why some custom roms don't need to flash VBMETA ? Even if coming from MIUI ?

you will most likely still need to flash vbmeta after updating your firmware manually.

Ok thx. This coming from MIUI. So I suppose that going back to MIUI' based rom, I need to reflash VBMETA.IMG, right? I take it in the rom ZIP of the MIUI rom, right?

ok to clear this up, vbmeta is only required when going from miui based roms to other custom roms. if u are going to flash a miui based rom, such as .eu, u do not require vbmeta. in fact, since u are going to flash a miui or miui based rom u might as well flash stock miui through fastboot, so there would be no confusion and no additional flashing.
when i was referring to updating firmware manually i meant flashing the firmware packages from xiaomifirmwareupdater.com rather than extracting from the miui recovery rom.

Not every custom rom. Don't need to flash vbmeta e.g. for thelazyindian's LOS, Syberia Project, AEX.

Do Xiaomi.eu roms have anti-rollback?

I wanna know xiaomi.eu roms have anti-rollback or not. Because I'm going to flash AOSP roms and even if I wanted to go back to MIUI, I'll only flash xiaomi.eu stables. So pls

As far as I know ARB is in the fastboot versions, there is ARB=0 in those ROMs, checked, If you have ARB>0 you'll not be able to flash by MiFlash. However you can flash by TWRP but only upgrade, downgrading in TWRP means you can brick in any time. Of course every single ROM flashing in TWRP require to disable Dm-Verity/ForceEncrypt, to avoid bootloops and problems with encryption after unlocking bootloader.
