[Q] Looking for LG stock ROM...

Bought this phone less than a week ago.
I am mad that I did not take a backup of the stock ROM
Immediately flashed it with CM7. Unstable performance, dropped calls, USB problems. I even tried Kang's version but not much success.
So I wanna rollback to stock ROM until some stable CM release comes along. I bought this phone in India.
Any good samaritan willing to share the ROM that I can flash my phone with.
Mucho gracias.

Sweet love of god. Hallelujah.

Is it safe or even recommended to grab other nations firmwares and when the phone boots just select your language? Then I imagine you would just need to set the APN's and done?
Or is there more to it then that?

It's safe (except for korean rom)

On the website there are multiple versions for India
V10A
V10B
V10D
V10F
V10G
How do I determine the right version?
The file extension is .kdz I believe some separate software is needed for flashing to stock ROM or will CWM recovery work here?
Gracias

[Q] how can i know which rom was originally on the phone

hey guys
i have one question, i bought my phone and I forgot what country rom it had on it, and i flashed so many roms on it.
How can I know which was the original country code on it, so i can get an update from kies to ICS.
Another question, is there any difference between flashing a stock ICS rom and between getting the same ics from kies

AFAIK, there is no specific stock rom available for Australia. all stock roms have english so no problem about that. You can flash once for South East Asia. Latest DXKT6 or you can download the latest for EU.

firmware backup

Hi,
First of all here are my specs...
S5830
Android: 2.3.3
Baseband: S5830XWKPA
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-perf-CL561786
[email protected]#1
Build: GINGERBREAD.XWKPY
I want to flash this rom from sammobile which I beleive should work with my phone
Model Country/Carrier Date Version PDA CSC
GT-S5830 United Kingdom / Ireland 2011 September Android 2.3.6 S5830XWKPY S5830XEUKP1
but before I do I would like to backup my existing rom in the same format as this rom so I can flash through odin.
I found this page on the wiki for backing up your rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/How_to_backup_Original_ROM but its not in the same format as the downloadable roms. Can I flash this through odin? or how can I backup my rom like the downloads from sammobile?
I just want a backup so I have something to fall back on should I need to.
Thanks

First of all. The rom you are trying flash is very old. New firmwares are more stable. Try a rom which was released this year. I wonder why you want to backup the original rom, its old. Anyway, just backup stuff using cwm, search for your current firmware of sammobile and download it. If you want to return back to original firmware, flash the firmware via odin and restorethe cwm backup.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
There is no official rom higher than 2.3.6 for this phone, I'm guna flash cyanogenmod at some point when I get a bit more time but for the time being I just wanted to flash official 2.3.6. Am I wrong in thinking the CWM needs a rooted phone to work? or will this feature run on unrooted phones?
thanks

Try the Spanish Rom XWKTQ.. And i'm sure you'll love it.. Almost Bug free and really fast..

CWM needs a rooted phone.
About the firmware. Yes the highest android version is 2.3.6, but new firmwares have more features and more stable. Flash XWKTQ.

reply
thanks for that

Just 1 quick question, just want to double check, aslong as its XW*** or another uk rom can I just flash it, because i was under the impression you cant flash roms from other countries unless its rooted?
thanks

If your phone is operator specific then flashing rom from different countries might cause problems. If your phone is unlocked and you can use it with any operator then no problem. You can flash any rom.

reply
ah ok, mine is on o2 uk but it was bought from phones4u so it should already be unlocked, so thats good to know. There doesnt seem to be any o2 branding on the phone so i'll have a play when I get sum spare.
cheers

But still, just try using a sim from some other operator and see if it works. If it doesnt, your phone is operator specific.

yeah, will do,
thanks

[Q] Warranty Stock Rom questions

Hi
My simcard reader has died on me and googling suggested it was a baseband/RIL problem. Only that those problems surface from rom changes etc. I have not changed my rom so its been decided it is purely a hardware problem.
I still have warranty and will need to unroot and put stock rom back. I have done that using NVflash, I am just worried they will suspect I rooted the phone. I bought the optimus 2x in Australia and fear they will know I installed the european rom ( not sure if the roms are the same or not ). What can I do to maximize the chance of LG honoring my warranty?
I have updated the official firmware to ICS, I know for certain it is out in europe, but i was not sure if ICS was out in australia. This is another potential suspicion. Help appreciated, leave thoughts and comments on how I should go about doing this.

BUMP sorry for doing this BUT im taking it tomorrow and need last minute help!
I am paranoid they will think it was rooted etc so I want to know if the official ICS software version P99030b is out in AUSTRALIA? (im running this version atm, its official LG but i don't know if this is out in Australia yet. I think I have the european ICS).
Another BIG question I really need to know is how do i flash a rom that is a zip file that has a .bin and fls file? Is this NVFlash?
The rom I found is from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035041
Can anyone let me know what I need to flash these roms? I found the same rom on another site and don't know how to flash it. Please help the warranty expires really soon.

if you have to flash the ROM using the .bin and .fls files....try the AllinOneTool kit by sprosk....then you can unroot...
but the best way is to connect the device to LG update tool....the job is done....you will lose your personal data...so just backup
no one can then find it out....dont worry
hope it helps

Yes, the official Australia ICS is out, you can download it from here, under the Australia section.

If you check out this thread by felipemadox and download the contents, in the instructions (in the downloaded files, not the ones in the thread) there is one part where you can "clear software update registry", that might help.

Seeing as it's just a hardware problem, I doubt they will even look at your ROM.
Hope this helps!
