Anyone who has or know if tun.ko has been ported to work on the LG 2x yet?. Its because I need the tun.ko drivers to activate a VPN connection and the 4 standards provided off the shelf is not supported .
The only way I can connect is via an app from market, but said app requires the presence of tunn.ko to work.
MoDaCo has a kernel with tun included.
I would prefer it not being a custom kernel etc . Im not really that much into flashing new roms and such until at least I have seen Gingerbread on the 2x.
So at present I am hoping for a solutuon that only requires me to push it to the phone and not flash a new rom.

Then either get it from the kernel image or ask Paul nicely to help you out.
Does this paul have name on this board.
You must be new here.
It's paulobrien. His 2X forum is at http://2x.modaco.com.
I just joined a few months ago, so no im not venerable yet . But does this paulk frequent these boards as well?.
The reason I ask is that I find it a bit excessive to register at yet another board for the mere reason of needing to contact him and enquire about that tun.ko file
Alright, let me put it this way; You wouldn't regret taking a minute to sign up for modaco.com, because his custom ROM's and kitchens tend to be for members there only. The MCR (MoDaCo Custom ROM) kitchens are famous for their easy way of choosing what you want to include and not in the ROM.
He's frequently here and on Twitter as paulobrien.
Yea I sent him a PM already on here . But for all the goodness of custom roms I have never really ventured into that realm and tried one. I meant to do it when I had my Desire and started to realise I might get Gingerbread for it. But then HTC says they would give it gingerbread so I stalled even more
And now I have the LG as well, and for what it is worth I am generally content in a a large extend with having a stock rom, albeit with some of the provided apps removed and a few tweeks and addons here and there, without going all the way.
But time will tell with the LG
It's definitely a good phone, and hopefully it will get even better. Let's cross our fingers for Android 2.3 or 2.4(?) soon.
In the meantime I can tell you that flashing custom ROM's is very easy. It's close to impossible to screw up the O2X because we have nvflash working and can overwrite all partitions easily. Nvflash is Nvidia's own tool for writing to the ROM. Paul has a guide for how to flash the latest stock ROM in the dev section here. Just beware that using nvflash will in most cases format (delete) everything including your external sdcard, but you can of course remove it first.
Better yet is to install the custom (ClockWorkMod) recovery, backup and flash a ROM from there, because then you don't have to reinstall apps+data. All data+sdcards will be intact, but system settings and any manually added apps in /system/app will be lost though.
If you decide to give it a go we are all friendly and helpful people, just do a little bit of homework yourself.
I had rooted and security offed my Desire which I have have now passed on .
My LG 2x is also equally rooted, I got CWM on it and flashed radio drivers . So I have already did some manner of mocking about with it . But is NVflash a "required" item on our phones. Because I considered installing it, but didn't thnk I really had a need for it at first.
But sadly rooting and doing such to your phone also means OTA software downloads are not possible as the phone is not detected as being the original phone anymore :/

NVFlash poses as a "last resort" if you brick your phone beyond the ability to make an adb connection. As far as I understand it, it hooks in far earlier and thus enables you to flash system partitions.
If you don't brick your phone, you probably won't need nvflash, but its a safety net to revert the phone to a stock ROM if you screw up.
Still no dice, I sent Paul a PM some days ago and not a word back :/
So is there anyone else that might be able to help, since I will assume I can't just "reuse" the version I got for my Desire
Hello there people from P970 Optimus/Maximos Black
I have a friend that as a p970 and he is in a problem.
He had his phone rooted, with CWM recovery, he had the CM installed on the phone, but then he decided and recovered the nandroid backup and went back to the stock rom. After that he installed an update from LG that apeared in his phone, thinking it was the 2.3. But it wasn't. It was some bugfixes to the 2.2 Stock LG Rom. But with that update he losed the root, and now he can't root. Gingerbreak stucks wile rooting and SuperOneClick 2.1 gives him a "Program not responding" on his computer when trying to do the Step4.
Can someone help my friend? He doens't have a XDA account, he only reads the threads, that's why i'm putting this here instead of him.
Sorry for my bad english

I installed the Nova 1.1.0 custom rom on my LG Optimus 2X but for some strange reason my phone won't allow me to restore to the original stock OS (which I would love to do). I am regretting the change and was wondering if anyone could help me out here... I have tried several methods to no avail, I can't seem to get any to work. If someone could upload their own recovery files for me to simply transfer and use that would be great! Or supply the Android 2.3.4 stock rom for the LG Optimus maybe. I have tried to load a differen't ROM but wven that fails it just says in Boot Recovery that the .zip cannot be accessed and has at the end (Bad) in those brackets. Help me XDA, you are my only hope of restoring my LG 2X back to the way it was. Please and thank-you very much.
Okay so I managed to get my phone to reboot and boot the recovery, but now it constantly reboots the LG loading screen. I don;t know what to do at this point, that was the oly recovery file I had... Any help would be great!
Your system probably got converted to EXT4 filesystem, you need to restore it back to EXT3.
Use back to ext3http://min.us/mYG4qa5aa/2

arcee: the star, the galaxy R, and the grand X are completely different devices. different components, different resolutions, different radios, different audio amps,different panel manufacturers, different almost everything. The designs have nothing in common other than being T2
tonyp: so it's either LG or nothing?
arcee: yes

because it use different file type nova based on cm9 it means ext4. and stock rom use ext3. i think in development rusty already show how to safe the data via recovery, do search.
you should flash back to ext3 created by paul o brien after that you can restore your stock backup. there is also in the development
Hello, I have been searching these forums for my problem for couple of weeks now, today I have decided to register and ask.
My problem is upgrading to ICS. I have tried using the LG Mobile support tool and all I get is: "Software update not avaivable for this model."
I have LG Optimus 2X(You would never guess, would you? ) currently running Android 2.3.4.
I also live in Serbia, so correct version for me should be v30A.
As I stated above, I am unable to update using LG mobile support tool. I heard that there's another way by flasing the phone with stock ROM.
But, I am really new to all of these and I could really use step by step guide on how to do this.
I guess I didnt give enough info about my phone, but I am not sure what info is needed, so please tell me what else I should give you and where I can find that.
Check out the aio toolkit thread. The All In One Toolkit features an offline updater for stock ROMs. All info you need can be found in that thread.
I extracted the latest KDZ file with AIO and then used the Smart Flash tool in AIO to flash my phone to ICS.
The LG flash tool didn't work for me either, it kept saying something happened and that I had to contact customer support.
Thanks for help, I managed to flash it via smartflash and AIO helped a lot.
Now, I really liked my old home screen a lot, but, I dont know how to create floders and change the number of pages on homescreen. Also about widgets, I am unable to find the LG widget for SMS messages and alarm.
I would also like to be a badass and root the phone and then remove some of the system apps which I ont use.

I have an AT&T (US) phone - rooted, with CM7 for LG Optimus 3D (P920 instead of P925) running on it - apparently the LG Thrill CM7 ROM doesn't work if you'd previously upgraded to AT&T's official Gingerbread ROM.
Now, the CM7 ROM for P920 has a major echo issue - I cannot talk on conference calls at all without an echo. Also, mute doesn't seem to work.
I'd like to go to a better ROM, or even to stock - but I didn't make a backup (yes, really really stupid of me). I've tried the stock Gingerbread ROM on AcidHazard's site (provided to go back to stock) - that seems to work, but most text is missing - font problem maybe, but I don't know how to fix it.
I've tried the Biohazard ROM itself, and it never booted.
Apparently CM10 milestone/nightly for the Optimus should work on my LG Thrill, but before I do so - has anyone tried this? With what results? Alternately, any other ROM I can try?
I've not been able to upgrade to ICS using the LG support tool - hangs at 4% and all workarounds listed on the internet don't work for me. I do have the official kdz file - backed it up when the LG tool downloaded it - but the LG flash tool isn't able to detect my phone.
I know - this question is asked lots, and I feel stupid asking it - but I've tried most everything that google search threw up, without success. I still have clockworkmod recovery installed, so I can copy ROMs to my sdcard and flash them. Suggestions, please?!
For v28B ICS with root and custom recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39269819
Just don't install the custom ROM and you will have v28B.

The first line in that guide says I need to be on ICS already - I am on gingerbread (or am I misunderstanding something?).
That line is there so people don't skip from GB to installing the custom ROM in recovery (that would give you a brick). The guide tells how update to ICS first.
I'll try out those steps, though the virus check disabling sets off too many alarm bells.
Before I do that really long procedure though, any other ROMs that people have good experience with?

I mainly put that because Defender was deleting the driver file without my knowledge and it was corrupting LG Flash Tool for some people.
Question: the kdz tool says phone not found. Is that the same issue the webserver and 127.0.0.1 address, or am I looking at some other issue before the HTTP issue?
