[Q] P970 vs. P970g - LG Optimus Black

I was wondering if anyone knew what the differences (if any) there are between these 2 models?
Essentially, they appear to be the same, but I am reluctant to apply a P970 ROM to my wife's P970g in fear of bricking it. BTW, the P970g is on Telus in Canada.
Anyone have any thoughts on the subject?

The version belongs to Telus carrier from your Country bundled with Skype App, also known as LG Optimus Black Skype Edition. Hardware = same.

Awesome that's good news. Does that mean it should be able to handle Nova or CM7?

99% i think it can. Ask Knzo (nova dev) to assure you first before flashing

I have the Telus P970g and I flash the Europe V10E Open rom and no problems.

Are there any special precautions? Are you using that Euro V10e on the Telus network?

One if a froyo based rom and the other is a gingerbread leaked rom.
Biggest difference is in battery life and speed
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk
I think there wasn't any difference at all. I ran V20e for some reason when I got mine and for some crazy idea that I want to test 'if LG really sucks at software' notion I tried to update, I went back to V10e running at 2.2.2
Very bad mistake

i disagrre with u bro..its very difference between 10e and 20e, 10e for froyo n 20e for gingerbread.all system between those versions is very different too
There are a few differences.
1. 10E is official 20E is a leaked rom.
2. 10E is Froyo 20E is Gingerbread.
3. As stated in 1. the only one actually supported by LG is 10E so flashing 20E will remove your warranty.
Of course there are more differences then these but then a normal Gingerbread vs Froyo thread will serve for that purpose.

Yeah I know, what I meant was there was no difference with performance. I mean yeah V10e is froyo and V20e is GB so its really a huge difference on system but on the performance, not so much. Sorry if that made a misconception or something.

No, flashing custom rom on your LG phone doesn't void your warranty. This was stated directly by LG Italy.
Yes i can confirm it me too.
Custom Roms don't touch the warranty.only if you brick or damage your phone installing a custom will be customer fault.
But if you have an hardware problem and you have a custom Rom you're ok.

Okey, I wrote supported by LG first. But okey.. Maybe Italy is different from the rest of the world. And its free to flash and still keep your warranty's intact. But if they by any means find any reason to why your flashing is the fault for breaking the device you will be the one paying the repairs. And normally they do "find" stuff like that. I my self ended up paying the repairs on a laptop because it was linux on it and not vista. (And here you think your free to install whatever OS you want on a pc.)
PS local agreements may vary to make sure contact your local LG office.

LG Thrill T-Mobile USA Baseband?

Hi all ,
I would like to know if a baseband exists for the Lg Trill using T-Mobiles 3G/4G . The only reason im asking is because im with Simple Mobile right now and since they use T-Mobiles network I would like to get faster download speeds. BTW this baseband would have to work for GB. As I am currently using GB and I would like to keep GB. I would also like to know if there is a method if it was tested and if it was successful ? Thank You.
No amount of software can enable a radio band that isn't there. AT&T Thrill does not have 1700mhz band. That's like asking developers to create an app for the Thrill to shoot out an infrared beam to remote control my TV.
what version of gb you are running? was it the leak one or the official 21a kdz.
if u flash 21a kdz,file, then its very good chance that tmo 4g baseband already included, because i have o3d (p920) tmo version running 21a kdz and i get 3g/4g speed. as far as i know, thrill lack hardware 1700mhz band and that could be the reason no 3/4g on tmo or simple. however other user (p925) flashing 21a kdz file and using tmo, getting 3/4g speed. u might want to take a look at it

if you upgrade gb v21a kdz on this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287236
then i think the tmo baseband is in there. not 100% sure, but that is the link that i upgraded my o3d and i am able to get 3/4g signal.
there is limitation, p925 technically lacks 1700mhz. radio band that uses for tmo 3/4g signal.

i feel you
p925 does not have hardware tmo 4g radio anntena inside (1700mhz). that is the reason probably why no 3/4g eventhough the sofware baseband is present. and about the phone under setting, it said so because the rom is build base on o3d. it can be changed to anything with editor and root
here is p925 specs

i don't know if there is any other way around. i am sorry about 3/4g data

Did you flash AT&T Thrill 4G Froyo baseband to V21A?
Can you be little more specific on what you did?
How did it change your phone? Did anything get improved?
I followed the steps for updating P920 to official V21A_00.kdz and it worked for P925 as well.
It improved in the sense that know I have FM radio app working and also I get 3G signal with T-Mobile, and also I get rid of At&t apps which do not work on T-Mobile.
I flashed Acura's rom on the O3D thread after flashing the GB kdz and now I'm getting 4g speeds on T-Mobile.

Good morning. I'm currently in possession of a rooted Lg Thrill. I am trying to flash the phone to a t-mobile base band as well. I'm curious did you root the phone and flash? Or did you download the foyo update and flash? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I first flashed it then I rooted it and then it was good. But if it goes into bootloop you would have to go into CWM and reset it and it will work perfectly.

are you saying that an att thrill phone can be used on simple mobile and get 4g by this method?
goog question, my dad has simple mobile and my daughter I have her thrill on T-mobile
after flashing BB my daughter's thrill gets very impressive speeds 7mbps down and 2.5+up, I will try my dad's simple mobile sim card on my daughter's thrill and see if infact is capable of receiving 3G speeds at least.
FANTASTIC
I see I'm not crazy so this can be done, I need the tutorial on how to do this PLEASE!! I've been searching for this for weeks and I'm sick and tired of edge, I need my 3 or 4g speeds! Please give me the link on how to do this and please make sure that all the steps are there. Many tutorials assume you know certain steps I need ALL OF THEM!! Thank you to all.

[Q] Europe or Open Europe ?

Hi Guys, just changed up from my Optimus 3D to a nice new white Note.
Was looking at the flash files etc.
My Firmware is the Europe Version, I think ??
Whats the difference between Europe and Open Europe.
My phone was unlocked from when I got it so I know its not that thats different
Does any have benefits over the other.
Would I be better with the Open Europe to receive ICS first when it does finally get released. ?
Cheers

[Q] Device not registered yet

When I try to check for updated via OTA it says device not registered yet. Did anyone saw this message ? Where the hell do I need to register?
ps: even that some operators are already selling the p880 here in brazil, the oficial lauch of this phone will be on this wednesday. Could that even possible be related to this error message?
When you manually flash .kdz files, most likely the file is not from your country. The only way to get it back is by using LG software and repair your phone to your country's firmware.

he phone update itself (not via OTA because it didnt worked for me) to the latest firmware by CHECKING YOUR IMEI. It means that if your firmware is EURO for example, and you install Asian firmware for example, it wont update to the latest Asian firmware, but to the latest EURO firmware because it will check your imei, not the firmware you have. =(

Thats normal.
They have somehow a kind of data base where are the produced devices.
To detect the latest firmware based in the installed firmware, they need to have some "tool" to search "inside" of each device. Like that java tool from nVidia to search the last drivers for example...
And if we want official we should leave the phone like it cames from factory, official... If we mess with FW and other stuff we can not expect that official support guesses what we've done or what we want...
Some persons opinion is that the official should give the latest original firmware, in case of need to go back to original. Others, that it should give the latest firmware based on the installed...
Allways someone complains cause its hot, or cause its raining, or because its cold... The perfection to everybody just don't exist

No. updateing via KDZ is easy, but doing everytime would be like pain in the ass (from 10c to 10d , then 10e etc etc etc), because everytime i would have to do backups and start all over again, since I wouldnt have OTA updates, nor LG Suite updates.

Why the need of all that process?
You can update from V10A straight to V10F...
I thing that LG Suite, once that is configured with european settings, should give you the updates to the european version.
But for now I don't expect updates in a very near future...

Mine works. Never receive the update though. But it doesn't say Device is not registered yet, instead it tells me that I'm using the latest OS.
I'm using Open Europe v10h, while my stock should be v10e Indonesia.
What I did when flashing the kdz is this: I tried updating the usb driver tool, in that application, I chose United Kingdom as my home country. When it's done updating, I flashed the kdz. The reason I did this is to be able to update to JB on the go, if that thing ever hits O4X.

Dude, I think you're asking in the wrong room, this room is for Optimus 4X HD.
Anyway, assuming our devices run the same, you can always revert back to your original ROM by flashing it manually through KDZ updater or something like that.
The message telling your device isnt registered has got nothing to do with your phone performance, only you wont be able to get OTA update (which you can always manually flash)

According to the above post, the Canadian O2X is called P999 (G2X). Flashing a P990 ROM will likely cause a brick to your device.

That's not necessarily correct... Canadian O2X may very well be P990hn (you can still get it today from Fido), which works just fine with any P990 ROM. P999 is another model for AWS frequencies used by Wind in Canada.

I am not sure what you mean by "not supported"... True, V30 (either A or B) has not been officially released for Canada (or North America, for that matter), but both versions actually work in Canada. V30B (unlike V30A) doesn't have a Canadian English language option, but US English is still there. I am currently running a clean stock V30B, and I am happy with it. However, I would refrain from recommending a particular ROM, as it's mostly a personal choice...
