Default Re-Install the base rom

If you are looking to re-install the base rom I found out that it can't be re-installed through the flasher program the rom is within. It checks the software version on the phone and sees that it is the same as the rom you are trying to install. However, I found a solution. Since the Incite flasher doesn't check this I took the Incite flasher and placed the eXpo rom in the flasher. I changed some of the files that the flasher was pointing to to the ones that are for the eXpo and repacked the flasher. I ran the flasher and it installed to my phone. Here is the repacked flasher for the eXpo and IQ for those that want to flash the base rom.

eXpo:

IQ:
http://hotfile.com/dl/33211312/b9c9f5e/IQ_ROM.exe.html

The flasher is set to install under windows 7. If you are using xp changed the install path to:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data

If you are installing under windows 7 remember to set the flasher to xp compatibility mode and to run as an admin.

WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLASH USING VISTA. IT WILL NOT WORK AND YOUR PHONE WILL NO LONGER FUNCTION. YOU WILL NEED TO GET TO AN XP OR WIN7 COMPUTER IF YOU TRY TO FLASH UNDER VISTA.

Yeah vista is an issue with the flasher since day one of the Incite days. There have been those that were successful flashing with vista using a virtual machine running xp or win7, but it is risky and if something goes wrong your phone may no longer function.

Default Says ROM is taken down?

I just got my LG Expo today, and I am not as happy with it as I had hoped.

I am also hesitant to install this ROM because I may return it for the Tilt2.
Dilemna's Dilemnas!.

So if i take the plunge, and flash the updated ROM, will I be able to get it back to stock and return if it just isn't working for me?

I love the snapdragon, but the HTC's have been very kind to me, and he new dual booting into android is just great stuff.

Let me know about this base ROM thanks!

A new link for the base rom is on the first page. I posted it to mediafire this time so hopefully it won't be removed.

Thanks Dark!

This EXPO getts better by the minute!! I think an update to 6.5.3 is all it needs really!! I probably will keep it in the long run. Tilt2 has the nice screen, but i can't see myself giving up the snapdragon now that its in my hands.

I do like SOME (very little) of the LG stuff, but LGidles as a whole is no good really.

I like LG Contacts and LG Scheduling nice enough, and mobile banking.

Plan on taking the plunge in the next few days on the custom ROM dark. I will let you know how it goes

Sorry to interrupt you guys but is there a way to find LG Fathom's original ROM? If you know a way, can you please share that?
Thanks
