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
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
http://android.modaco.com/topic/335494-18-jul-smartflash-stock-baseband-release-103521-20110622/
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

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.

You should mail to [email protected], the dev of LG GetRIL and see that with him.

Agreed, send me an e-mail
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.
Need eclair / froyo official ROM for my motorola milestonme a853.
I have tried installing
1.CM7
2.CM9
3.MIUI
Everything is installing properly, but whats the problem is phone gets partially freezed(no response to touch) after a hour of inactivity.
again i have restart the mobile manually. Could be a firmware prob?
Please sumbody suggest something. or else jus reply back with official rom

I've used CM9 and now CM10, but no such a problem here. (maybe it's hardware related? :S)
If you really want to go back to stock than read THIS thread.
Thanks

Hi,
Sorry if this seems like a dumb question - A bit confused from reading up all the info on upgrading to ICS on the p990.
Im running a volk custom kernel, and CM 7.2 - OS Version 2.3.7.
Whats the "best" way to upgrade to the new ICS? I tried running the LG software update but it doesnt go too well, fails after it tries to detect phone - even though it detects it initially.
Can I get the release that LG released with my setup?
Please advise.
Thanks!
Same situation here. I'm on official cm7.2 and would like to upgrade to ics. But don't think that useing official lg update tool is so good idea - it might brick your phone. It won't update to ics because you aren't running the official GB rom so lg update tool won't upgrade (correct me if i'm wrong).
Maybe the AIO tool would do the trick.
Anyways, people we need your advice!
LOL, use NVflash ICS rom like TG.
for me the best way is using the toolkit to install new partition, new bootloader and recovery
than boot into recovery and flash the room as usual
Thanks Wakata.
Much appreciated. I have tried downloading the toolkit but its always corrupt.. ill download the 7 zip format.
I take it that I will need to back everything up and wipe everything, install new partition, boot loadder and recovery(CWM??), then flash with the new rom and kernel?
I've also used the All-In-One P990-Toolkit to upgrade to ICS.
You can use 1. to backup your internal SD in case you need it later.
Then hit 4. to change the partition layout and after that 8. to flash the new unlocked bootloader. That's all.
Thanks again
Slight problem - I downloaded the 7z file, and extracted them, but cant seem to run the .cmd file? What am i doing wrong here?
scratch that last question.. for some reason the files are corrupt when i download them.. grrrr.
So I followed the instructions, and suprise suprise, I get an error -
Nvflash started
nvflash configuration file error: file not found
An error occured. Read above lines for details
Help please
Nevermind, I had a fiddle and flashed ics 6.0.xxx.. lets see how it goes. Hopefully I havent bricked it lol
Sorry, problem.
I first tried option 1, then 4, then 8.. after its all done, no errors - I boot the phone, and its stuck on the red LG logo.. I've left it there for around 10-15 mins with no luck? Help!
Haha, actually I figured it out. I did realise I didnt have a ROM! Doh! lol rookie mistake.
I downloaded this rom and kernel(1.4ghz OC) and its running pretty well, no bugs so far(touch wood)
