Hey guys,
I just tried updating my G1 to the latest radio on Haykuro's site. But I am not sure if the radio has actually been updated. I am quizical about this because my baseband version reads:
62.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I thought it should read:
62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I want to update the SPL next so that I can install Haykuro's Ion Rev.2 ROM, but I don't want to do this until I have solved this problem.
The process I took to update the Radio was:
Install 'Recovery Flasher' (the one-click-root app) and ran it.
Put the Radio on my microSD named update.zip
Rebooted G1 in recovery mode.
Applied update.zip
There was one doubt in my mind about the process I did. That was the part where I could have wiped the phone before updating the Radio. Is this what I should have done? If I had would the Baseband version be correct? If I do is there anyway to get all my apps back after flashing the Ion ROM?
Please would somebody help me out! Thanks.
You have the new radio. And as far as your apps go you just gotta reinstall them. You can install them 1 by 1 or by batch install or with ADB. Just find a technique you like cause if you gonna start playing with new roms you will be doing this more than once.
Oh right, cool. Thanks for that.
So what do the H and U mean exactly then?
To be honest I really can't remember. That topic was talked about a long time ago and I don't have that good of a memory. Maybe someone could chime in and explain.
You don't need Haykuro's SPL for Ion r2, It's a google build, so it will work with any SPL including the original one...
Mine is 62.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I. I got it from HTC's site (Android 1.5 Radio Image). I was running Ion r2 for a couple of months, had no problems with that radio.
Cool. Thanks for all the help guys.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a good way to backup all my apps ready for a batch install once I have flashed to Ion REV.2?

Search for Backup for root users in the market or go to the link below and scan the QR code if you have barcode scanner.......

There are many other ways to backup your apps, but this is by far the easiest for beginners.
If you want other ways, you can PM me and I can walk you through some other steps.

Hey guys,
I'm fairly new to the modding of Android phones (my previous phone was a TYTN II) and I'm having some problems restoring my backups via Clockwork mod (which is a bit of a pain in the ass for me, as I think you understand).
Ive tried to flash my phone and stuff, but I can't download apps from market/start google talk (I know this is related to eachother) when I have a mdc rom installed. This is not really the problem I'm asking a solution for, but the real problem is, that I can't go back to my old rom and stuff. I have rooted my phone, installed CWM, made a backup, but somehow it keeps freezing at the loading screen of the phone whenever I have restored a backup and reboot the phone.
Atm I have resetted my phone with NVFlash, I have not yet innstalled anything but I still have a backup which I'd like to restore. This is my situation:
LG-P990: Android 2.2.2, Baseband 1035.21_20110315 (I updated this with Paul's update), Kernel 2.6.32.9, Build: FRG83G, LGE version: v10b.
Anyone has an idea what I'm doing wrong? Did I miss a step in the process? Please help me out!
I'm no expert, so you should probably wait for one of them, but I had a similar problem and it's important to do a wipe before installing the ROM. (There's two wipe options, run them both)

please check if the DATE in your settings is correct. the rom I had previously installed was set to MAY and this made it impossible to use gtalk and download roms.
yeah sounds silly, but worth checking
ah well since you have reset already. but maybe you get back in the same situation at one time.
Thanks for the quick replies.
@Marco_ch: I already tried the date problem, literally went thru 100 of pages to find out what the issue was with the gtalk, but nothing helped, so I'm guessing I made a mistake with the rooting or something...
I already reset, but this is the third time I've reset, I've already tried flashing my device 3 times and each time I end up not being able download apps.
@Jakkelomme: As far as I know there is only 1 wipe option? Reset factory settings? I always do that before I install a rom yes.
well I had the same problem (gtalk, market) but I gave it another shot with this:
http://romkitchen.org/lg/?s=generator
its running brilliantly on my device. have you tried that one yet?
Tried it a few days ago, when it was anotehr version, might try it again now, thanks. Which options do you suggest (I'm not that much of an expert )
Edit: Though i wish someone had a solution for me not being able to restore via CWM!
oh you dont want suggestions from me - I have that device for a couple of days only and dont even know how to properly make a backup
but I chose the following:
EXT 4
Pauls Kernel
Left out all the LG Stuff as I find it kinda useless and laggy
good luck!

Did everything you asked, installed new version of Romkitchen with the stuff you suggested... Still doesnt download appss. Still stuck at "Starting download...". Help, anyone?
Nevermind guys, I fixed it. Turned out the problem WAS with date & time. My provider made the date 12/05/'11 instead of 12/04/'11. It was why I couldnt download from the market. Thank you all for helping out anyway
Hello - I tried to search but couldn't really find answers
I got my LGOS some days ago from Ebay.
He used Cyanogenmod but reverted it back to the Stock image "over the settings menu" - whatever that means.
It was still rooted (he said he did it with Gingerbreak) and had Superuser installed. Clockworkmemory is installed, too (I updated it to a newer version with ROMManager now).
It has the 10c firmware - that means unbranded if I understand that right.
I downloaded both RIL tools to figure out which RIL I have - but unfortunately they won't show me my RIL version
"Unknown RIL file found"
Baseband is 1035.21_20110405
Could somebody help me - what should I do next with my device? I think I want to stick with stock for now. Should I do a full revert with NVFlash? Or can I just use it? For the last 2 days I had no crash - it seems to work fine.
I owned a ZTE Blade before and did a lot of flashing (CM7 mostly). Just want to say that I am no total noob - but I am a bit confused with my new smartphone now
Thanks in advance
If it's working and you're happy with it, then don't worry about it.
Hehe thanks - and sorry for not making myself clear enough.
I want to stick with stock because it seems everything is working here. Maybe "stick" isn't the best word - "keep" would be better. I thought of a nandroid backup and then to try out CM7
It bothers me a little that no RIL version is shown - this works normally, doesn't it?
It works by comparing the MD5 of your lge-ril.so file against a list of known ones.
Whatever you have just hasn't been entered into it's database.

Okay, I sent you the email. Thanks
I am still a bit unsure about the way the pre-owner restored the ROM and rooted it.
First - does this apply to the LG 2x, too?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108201
It is strongly recommended that you flash clockwork recovery via NVFlash. If for some reason this or a future nightly build causes your phone to not boot up, you will not be able to boot into recovery unless you have it flashed via NVFlash.
To clear up some confusion, if you flashed your recovery via ROM Manager, you didn't actually flash a recovery. It is what we call a fakeflash, you should still probably flash with NVFlash.

Second: Is it correct how he restored the stock rom? He went to "Settings - Privacy - factory data reset" - but had installed CM7 before.
No it doesn't apply to the O2X, ROM Manager flashes properly.
If he did a factory reset, then it's not on stock ROM, just a blank CM7.

I mailed him again - now he clarified it
He reinstalled the ROM with NVFlash a while before he was on CM7 and then deleted all his data via the menu. This explains some remaining stuff & pictures on the internal SD card hehe.
Then it is okay - I just wanted to make sure that he did everything "correctly".
Thank you very mich Rusty for your patience with my noob questions
I had a similar problem when I Installed a 622 baseband, then stock froyo, then cyanogen.
Then I guess I installed the 622 RIL from GB instead of the froyo one and the result was an unknown baseband (in LG GetRIL app), locked sim and no phone network.
Going back to the froyo 622 RIL solved everything.
Hey Guys,
Yes it is my first post on this Forum but I've been looking many thread and no one awnser correctly...(I wish im the good section for this)
So i'm trying to install Cyanogenmod on my Optimus 2X and I can't install the Clockwordmod Recovery for some reason.
Here's what I did :
1. Install LG Drivers
2. Root Phone with SuperOneClickRoot
3. Download Rom Manager
4. Flash ClockWordMod Recovery
After that it restore and BootLoop until death
The only thing I can do is remove the battery, push Volume Down and Power and the Android Recovery Manager Wipe all my data.
I also made a Video of all the steps
watch?v=vMRcYgjtf7o (I can't post Direct link since i'm a new member..)
Hello!
Can you get in the recovery system?
Did you place a copy of a downloaded CM7-ROM on your external SD card?
If yes - just go to choose .zip from SD and flash it - after that you should be good to go.
BTW: I can recommend the KANG build by koboltzz(http://bit.ly/sbUogR) - works for me and is compatible with the ironkrnL.
And don't forget you may need LG-Ril from the market since the RIL included in the CM-ROMs is always 0218 and you almost probably come from 0725 or something else - and the RIL should match your baseband - LG-Ril Version will take care of this...
Greetings
Medizinmann
No actually I can't access to the Recovery, that's the problem...
I Updated my first post with my video.
Also : What I'm suppose to do with the LG-Ril, I can see and change my Ril but everytime it say : The Ril dosent match with you Baseband...
Is your phone an Optimus 2x Wind?
Don't quote me on this but isn't that a g2x if it's a wind? Like the American one? So it needs the g2x recovery and ROMs? Or am I just talking out of my arse?
Sorry if I'm going down to the wrong road.
I finnaly made it work,
To Flash the CWM Recovery I used the NvFlasher (Work Great) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
Then I had some problems installing CM7 I looked up a bit and you were right @Fulwood Sedge I have the P999 version not the P990 wich is slighly different -_-".
Now I have CM7 Nightly running.
Thank You guys for the Help.
Last question : What Rom you guys recommend for best performance and everyday use ?
I'm using miui ATM and I totally love it. The UI changes on it are quality IMO. It's completely different look and feel and that's what I really like. And that's what I wanted from a custom rom.
Check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350761&highlight=Best+rom
It's been going for quite a while now so it gives up a good idea. But those are p990 ROMs and those won't work on your phone. So might be best to see if there is similar thread in p999 forum.
I use my phone 3-4 hours a day and I would not use anything other than Cm7 with vorkkernal. Love it, battery life is good, phone is stupid fast and basically everything works.
accelerometer calibration is a bit off though? Trials 2x doesn't really work as the acceleormeter isn't sensitive enough to tilt left/right. But rotating in web browsing etc works fine.

What is happening..
I followed the directions exactly,
Rooted with superuser and SuperOneClick
Used ROM Manager to backup and chose Cyanogen 7.1 from the download section
Flashed ROM,
Now...its just shows the boot screen over and over for 15-20 min then everything goes black.
Did I just break my new phone?
UPDATE: Access ClockworkMod and tried to reflash .zip and clear cache, same result. As well I cannot mount my InternalSD to put on nightly CM instead of stable. Serious help needed!!!
UPDATE 2: My wife has the same phone as me, from the provider..could I copy her stock LG Optimus 2X from fido ROM and use it as a recovery for me??

i think your phone is p999 not p990. so that's why boot loop. i don't know if there's nvflasher for p999. i hope there's one so you can restore your phone to original.

Did you wiped/format all partitions before flashing cm7 ? It's mandatory when you change totally of ROM type.
You'd better use nightly, links are on the cm7 nightly download page.
In cm7 internal sdcard is mounted as /mnt/emmc. External is mounted as /mnt/sdcard.
Last thing: the file you grabbed is not a cwm file but a smartflash one I guess....
no way you can use CWM with that version. it only can use with smartflash

ok, so im not a total noob...or at least i dont consider myself one lol im "hip" to the whole rooting/flashing/modding thing (OG, eris, dinc, evo, & now...lg revo) but this is my first LG/4g device ive encountered n ive now come to a point where i must ask for guidance lol
ok, so when i got my revo from my roommate, it already had the gb update, so i used: [One Click]Updated!!! LG Revo All in One Pkg for Root, CWM 5.0.2.7, and Unroot - to downgrade n root, then "flashed" the de-crapified (i think thats the name) rom. shortly realized i hate froyo, used ^above said method to unroot n return to stock i hopes to update back to gb, then work from there. upon attempting to do the gb update via verizon, i get the "update failed or incomplete" message. oh, n lastnight, i flashed RevoltRom1.5...
now, my question is; what am i/have i done/doing wrong?
...and/or what do i need to do to be able to have gb & root?
...or if nothing else, how can i return to bare stock? with or w/o gb...idc, cuz by this point, im prob selling it lol
(if it helps...) my phones specs:
-android: 2.2.2
-kern: 2.6.32.9-pref [email protected] #1

Just to elaborate a little what happens is when flashing a froyo ROM over gingerbread the radio causes issues including not being able to connect to mobile network I'm not sure about wifi I never tried also you will get bootloops kicking you into cwm recovery and it's the same for the opposite gingerbread to froyo.. the easiest way to get out of that bootloop is to flash a backup of the Android version you were on before you tried to put that ROM on your phone... if you were on gingerbread flash a gingerbread backup if you were on froyo flash a froyo backup but this phone does not like to jump Android software versions via a custom ROM. Of course if you find yourself without a backup the .tot files will fix your phone and the going from inner Android version to another via flashing a custom ROM has been tested throughly and has a 0% success rate. It will flash and should boot but that's about it.
