My new LGOS (RIL?) - LG Optimus 2x

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.

[Q] Camera error after GB update

Hi
I've upgraded to 2.3.3 and my camera doesnt work anymore. The screen comes black for a few seconds and then the message "Camera error. Cannot connect to camera" appears. The flashlight is also doesnt work. I have some MoDaCo firmware HTC Sense before, as I remember...
Help me to fix it, please.
Thanks

Could you tell me how to do it, pls? What is the last version of radio? How to check it?
Settings / About / Baseband
If the version is 4.06 / 5.08 / 5.12 (the version is in the middle of the long string there) - then there's some other problem in the system. If the version is 4.02 or 4.04 - then you need to go to Developers forum, open any Gingerbread ROM thread, and see the instructions for flashing Radio. Or look at my signature.

The Baseband Version is 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
What I'm thinking is could it be the problem because my Nexus had non original firmware before the GB update, and maybe I didnt make some important thing which blocking my camera now? Maybe I need to re-flash the radio with some original image? I'm totally NOOB in all these things...
Your radio is 5.08 - which means it's updated and the problem is elsewhere.
If you didn't upgrade to Gingerbread from a clean FRG83G build, but from some other build - you'll need to reflash the ROM. You can do it if you have unlocked bootloader. Read Wiki, it has the guide for installing custom ROMs - execute it, and use Gingerbread stock build from one of the threads in Development forum.

Thanks for your advices. Just upgraded the radio to 5.12 via fastboot. The camera still not work Will try to flash to original state...
ok, i've tried to rollback to original FRG83, se-flashed boot, recovery, but no luck - camera didnt started. Hovewer, i tried the flashlight torch and it started to work (it didn't like a camera before), so I'm sure now the camera issue is the software now - not a hardware.
Does anybody have some advices?

How did you flash frg83? via passimg or you flashed rooted rom from dev section? If you didn't use passimg method you should try wiping everything (cache, dalvik, factory reset) from the recovery.
BTW, if you have custom recovery you should be able to restore nandroid backup (which I assume you did;P ) and see if there is this problem too.
Cheers!

i've flashed frg83 using fastboot. And updated to 2.3.3 via recovery (RA-passion-v2.2.1). And yes, I wiped everything using the recovery. Unfortunately, I do not know what is nandroid backup, so I didnt do it
Hope there is a way to get my camera back to work... Could you tell me what to do, step by step, to make my Nexus fully functional with the 2.3.3 firmware, please!

I'd love to, but unfortunately I don't know what causes this problem at the moment I think it wouldn't hurt to try loging what is going on when you open camera.apk. Try adb logcat from your pc or install "alogcat" from market, start camera app and paste here the log file.
Lesson for future always do nandroid backup You can do this from recovery, it will do phone's memory image Then you can always revert back to what you had before flashing new rom

Yeah... backuping is a cool thing.... It is just my first experience with the Android phone... Maybe will find some kind of solution for this...
Well... Problem stays... However I've found few interesting things. As I've mentioned above, after the 2.3.3 update the camera and flashlight doesnt work enymore. But I've installed Z-DeviceTest and found that after the reboot this app (which provides the hardware test) sees the camera and flashlight! But, unfirtunately, doesnt able to test it. Moreover, if to start some torchlight widget directly after the reboot, the flashlight works!!! But it is not after the camera start... So, maybe someone will find this information useful.
@Pomka
have you found the Satu Solution yet ?
mmm. i guess you borrow from somebody the nandroid back up and restore it...
then u will know whether it is a hardware issue or Software Issue.
Logic ?

[Q] Can't restore via CWM [fixed]

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

[Baseband][CM7] 218/405/502/606 baseband downloads [Guide] Experiences.

25/5 2011: Changed topic, since a baseband related thread seemed to be missing. I have now put the 502 baseband on my phone, and it seems to be really good.
Installation procedure for Baseband.
Backup phone, use Titanium Backup or My Backup pro and make a nandroid backup in recovery.
Go here and get the baseband and utility to install it.
Format cache/data/system in the Clockworkmod recovery menu - mounts and storage.. Go to advanced and wipe Dalvik Cache and battery stats.. And Fix Permissions.
Now you can either restore your nandroid or install a clean rom..
Okay, so i sit and browse thru all the threads in the LG o2x section, and i start wondering why the discussion suddenly is about baseband in the various topics.. I upgraded to 405, and i have had some issues, i dont know whether they are related to the rom, the baseband or just a plain phone bug..
Issues i have had:
1. GPS wont lock at all.. Or i get lock after 15 minutes, but after reboot GPS refuses to lock again..
2. My Mobile data is very unstable, disconnects constantly and also gives browser freezes..
3. In call sound is very bad, distorsion is high, and sounds like people i talk with i holding a cloth on their microphone..
So, could someone give an explaination to what the baseband does ?

you can get all the basebands from nasihrameds [Firmware] Thread. The archives contain the *.fls files for smartflash.
0218 is included in the earliest UK Firmware for example (and also in the Singtel variants if I remember correctly).
Cheers

Edit: To answer your question from the Nightly's thread:
The maintainer of the O2X cm_arcee uses the 20110218 baseband, so you can expect a similar expierience to his, and probably avoid bugs he won't fix because they are related to the baseband being different.

Hey thx man - Although they are not extracted.. Is it possible to apply the baseband without it wiping the phone ?
well I don't think downloading and extracting them isn't that much of a hassle
I don't know if the smartflash wipes your phone, as far as I remember mine wasn't wiped BUT, it overwrote my recovery partition (reverted to stock) so I wiped the phone by accident when I tried to get into CWM again ^^.
I guess you could always do a nandroid backup before flashing the baseband to be on the safe side.
Just a heads up, changing the baseband, make nandroid backup first. Baseband formats cache and data patition, so you will reboot onto a clean rom afterwards. Recovery isnt erased though.. Good luck peeps, im now on 218..

So far only positive things to report, but will take a day or two of normal usage to come with a solid conclusion..
since the baseband resides in another location as the ROM, it cannot be flashed using CWM. Smartflash is the only solution so far.

To get it to work as flawless as before upgrading to FR15, I have made the following adjustments that seem to work well:
1. Go into the LG hidden menu
2. Go into GPS Test
3. Go into System Settings
4. MOLR Protocol (is set to User-Plane)
5. SULP Setting -> SLP Server Setting, I created a new one for the nokia servers (slp address: supl.nokia.com, port: 7275, no cert and no TLS setting)

[Q] Help on BB and ROM update

Hey all,
Knowing you'll be able to help. I'm sorry if it's old ground but could do with assistance on updating BB and ROM.
I'm rooted and want to update the BB and instal Modaco FR19 but have worries.
Seen mentioned that you need to find the corresponding RIL for an update.....no clue how to find / go about this.
Got the LG RiL app and it confirms version 0419 (10D). Does that help?
Someone got a step by step guide for me on updating the BB so I dont brick it!!
Also got ROM manager and did a backup through CWM.
But in the process it says no internal SD so didn't backup the apps. Has it done everything correctly?
If I don't like FR19 (unlikey I know) I'd want to be able to restore back to my current ROM with data and apps etc.
Again....sure this is old ground but want to get off the custom ROM and old baseband
Thanks everyone
hi, the link below is for the BB updated provided by Paul. But i am unsure on the RIL - sorry

I used that post, and that post only to flash the latest BB on to mine and it all went smoothly first try
Thanks for the reply. Took the plunge. BB update was a sinch as soon as i knew to run smartflash as administrator (running windows7). Phone got stuck in a boot loop when putting modaco fr19 on it. Rwflashed the BB update and then all was fine. Glad to be rid of stock

[Q] Problem installing Cyanogen on Optimus 2X

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...

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.

hi bro, sorry, i havent update my siggy for quite sometime. sold my s2 and using o2x now.
anyway, can anyone help?
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.

I have the P990-hn, should I be trying to use the Nighly Build, I can only find the -stable version. As well I found CANADA FIDO BIN_LGP990hNAT-01-V21b-302-370-AUG-23-2011+0
I am going to use that to get my phone back using the ClockworkMod Recovery.

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

Yes your right I see that now, would I be able to use that with smartflash to get my phone unbricked? What would someone suggest?

I used the nightly to no success, same old and yes I wiped the data, cache's. I am looking at using smartflash and stock ROM I found here on XDA
