Hi! Myself is located in Norway. I bought this device from the USA, and it goes under the name of lg thrill.. (lg p925, optimus 3d). This phone is released by at&t, and heavy at&t bloated. I have read about lots of others sucessfully installing various roms on this device (though their device is called lg p920). I have sucessfully rooted this phone. Moving on trying to install another rom, Rom manager does not recognice my device, and only shows me Optimus V as an option to flash clockwork recoverymod. So now im at clockworkmod 3.2.0.1, and flashing new/other roms does not work. And in recovery mode, no option to flash is there; install rom from sdcard..ect,,, is missing. I guess this is cause the software(clockworkmod) does not recognice, and therefore does not support my device? I would love to hear some opinions on this! I will gladly provide any info about my lg optimus thrill(aka 3D, p925) Thanks alot for any answer!
Best Regards, Robert.
I don't think that there is any mod or rom for the 925 just us yet. I would advice to wait a little bit.
Lg thrill has different radio hardware from optimus 3d so doubt that o3d roms or recoveries will work with it completely correctly.

I have the same problems like you. So how to fix it?
Hi,After successfully rooting the my LG-P925 device with SuperClickOne application i tried to load a charDriver module,but when i did it using insmod the mobile is getting restarted.As posted in one of the android forums i just copied the module to /system/lib/modules directory and restarted it.Thats it! my mobile never came up again,it is continuously rebooting itself.Even after factory setting also it didn't came up.As posted in forums to boot from sdcard,but it doesn't have any flash from sdcard option...Please help me out.
Waiting for reply....
The phone seems to automatically load all .ko's in /system/lib/modules, though I haven't found the script that does so. Surprising that a factory reset doesn't help. Sorry I'm no help on the bootloop, but if you manage to fix it, do move your .ko to some other directory.

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
Hi guys I recently bought my first android phone (wind's lg optimus x2) 3 days ago and decided to try and updated it to gingerbread, as it was set on froyo when I purchased it. So after long hours of contacting lg, wind and checking a butt-load of forum threads to try and get the new update; I ended it up not having gingerbread, but instead I got a nice little brick. I tried flashing the stock wind rom using the KDZ method and my phone ended up getting stuck on S/W upgrade.
Anyways short brief history aside I ended up doing the clockwork recovery and now I have no idea on what I'm suppose to be doing to get my phone back and running on any custom, or stock rom.
Any help would be extremely appreciated and I'm thankful to anyone who helps me out with this issue, since I really need a phone at the moment
Did you make a backup in clockwork? Can you still get into clockwork? If the phone wont boot then you'll need a little microusb adaptor to put the card on your computer. From there, download Cyanogenmod 7, its GB 2.3.7 at the moment, and faster than the stock rom.
From clockworkmod
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Install zip from SD card - SDcard - navigate to downloaded cm7.zip file.

The Optimus 2x Wind is to my knowledge a P999, not a P990. Go to this forum to find compatible roms.
EDIT: Start here to flash a proper ClockworkMod.
So can I just NV flash any rom to my device that is compatible with wind? And if so can I use tmobiles stock gingerbread on it?
Ok Guys I decided to flash my wind phone to t mobile stock gingerbread and its working now So thanks for the replys guys
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
Hi, I'm new around here.
First time i tryed to "change" my phone and things didn't got well.
To start i'm new around using roms and kernel over the smartphones, then i tryed to do something that i was not sure of the result of it and now it got bad.
I'm using a LG Optimus X2 (P990), and i rooted my smartphone (before it i downloaded the last version from official LG, the 2.3.4 Android). Then i tryed to update a new kernel "Nova Kernel V1.0.4 ". All about that was with success but the problems come after it. I can't use my storage from SD card (simply says no card on) and when i try to use the usb cable on computer it simply says that don't recognize the device, tryed to update the drivers but still nothing.
ATM all that depends on the card (camera, alot of storage) are disabled since i can't use it because it don't acept sd card... i made a backup from the original phone on a sdcard and i can't restore it.
I used Rom Manager and it says no storage no restore.
What i ask is if anyone can help me on a solution (if it exists) and if can anyone tell me what's the kernel correct version for this version of Android (2.3.4) to use over it, i don't want to mess more with it, just want to let it stay on original way working.
Many thanks.
Are you kidding me? This is COMPLETELY the wrong place. This is the Optimus G forum, not Optimus 2x. Go here
@@ Optimus 2X at Optimus G thread
This should be in the Optimus 2X section.
Try to use smarflash i hope it works.
Here is the link with a discription how to use good luck

You've used an ICS kernel. You're running Android 2.3.4 Stock, not Android 4.0.
If you want to flash a kernel for your stock ROM, I'd recommend you to check out guestekernel. From what I've seen & read, most people are pretty satisfied with it.
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?
