Hi there!
I have some doubts so need your help!
Right now, I am using LG stock ROM v20L EURO open (downloaded as .kdz file).
Since I am interesting for some cool themes here, I figured that I must have deodexed ROM installed and I downloaded Paul's deodexed stock version. Before I try to flash this ROM I am not sure what will happened with my Baseband 0725 for 20L that I got with kdz.file after flashing deodexed ROM in CWM. Do I need flash baseband again? Also, before flashing do I need wipe something (cache & dalvik) since I will use stock version again (only deodexed this time)? I am not sure is it stock kernel is included in stock v20L ROM?
Thank you in andvance for your help!
Cheers
your baseband will be kept, no need to flash again for the baseband. cause you're already v20L
Thank you for your answer.
In meantime decided to try and sucessfully installed odexed 20L ROM over stock version and kept all data and programs...
Happy Ending

Hi,
This is my second time flashing a rom. I own a rogers captivate and I rooted and flashed to Darky's v7.0 (2.2 Froyo) NO WIPE.
I want to change the rom to Doc's ROM JPY V6.2 CE.
All i know is that I have to copy the .zip folder in sd card folder and flash it using rom manager. Do I have to do the same to flash with this one?
I have read all over the forum and I read that I am supposed to flash back to stock 2.1 and then flash again to a different rom(any other rom). Someone also told me that if I have a NO WIPE version of rom installed then I don't need to flash back to 2.1. Is this true? Can someone please confirm this?
1. Should i just download the rom and just flash through rom manager(if yes, then skip q#2) or change to stock 2.1 first?
2. If i have to change back to stock 2.1, i think I have to use something called ODIN. Can someone explain me the process please? and I dont know where to get stock rogers 2.1 rom. I looked all over the forum.
3. I do not want to overclock my phone cpu. The main post on DOC's rom says that I have to flash a kernel through CWM after first boot. I dont know what CWM means or how to use it. Any instructions?
4. Should I install the Wipe version or the NON-wipe version? and what is the difference? I like changing roms once in a while and I might change it again but I dont know which one I should use.
5. Is this a 2.1 eclair rom or 2.2 froyo? How do i figure it out without installing?
I would really appreciate if anyone can help me with these questions.
Thanks a lot.
I have always just booted into recovery mode with CWM and flash the zip that way as it works for any rom i have tried so far. I have rom manager but never used it to load a rom since CWM works flawlessly everytime for me.
The simple answer is if your changing ROMs (i.e. Cognition to Perception) - should flash back to stock then load the new ROM.
If your just updating an existing ROM and it has the "no-wipe" version? Then you should be able to run the *.zip provided following the instructions given (most likely through ROM Manager/CWM)
I flashed my Bell i9000m with the Speedmod rom, and it is running great. However is it possible to revert back to the stock kernel for upgrades via Kies?
Another stupid question, can Darky's rom be flashed via Odin on top of Speedmod?

You can flash the stock JL2 kernel on top of the speed mod yes. If you want to keep the speedmod and are only interested in being able to upgrade, you could use the kies registry hack and trick kies into thinking your phone is at an older model, this includes the kernel, however i'm not sure what will happen because some of these roms only have some of the data needed in the flash, example is that the stock 2.1 has a sddata folder and non of the roms after that have that folder.....
Darky's rom is meant to be flashed with clock work recovery, so if you want to flash it just follow his instructions. it comes in a zip file so it can only be flashed via clockwork. Do not unzip because it's signed
Great, thank you. Gonna flash to Darky's rom after creating a nanodroid backup
Hi there!
I finally decided that I want to use the stock deodexed ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790
(According to *#1234# I need the PDA/PHONE/CSC XXJPY/XXJPY/OXAJPY version)
But I want to use the speedmod kernel. For speedmod installation toturial I have this http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-how-to-install.html
However I have no idea how to install the stock deodexed ROM. I suppose I can use the ODIN packages but I'm not sure if I have the 512.pit right now (I'm running stock 2.2.1 then I guess yes, but I would like to confirm this).
As well Im not sure if I need to flash the ROM first and then the speedmod kernel or the opposite.
I really would like some help here. Thanks!
Someone please?
Do I flash the ROM first via odin and then flash the speedmod kernel?
yes, rom first. then kernel.
at least that's what i always do.
Thanks!
Also what about the .pit file? The thread about stock roms says that I need the 512.pit, how do I know that I have 512.pit right now and I dont need to flash it (Im running stock 2.2.1 from samsung right now)?
Someone please?
Thanks!

Not exactly what I need but thanks!
I found some thread around but I'm still a bit confused. I'm in topogigi 1.8 (ext3, base 0725) and I would like to try the new gb stock rom from LG. Can I connect my phone to PC and let do it to LG software or I have to do it manually? maybe there's somewhere a official gb packaged for CWM?
thanks
D.
Im not 100% sure on if you can just plug in and update but i guess no. If i were you i would either restore a backup youve got of your original ROM before you flashed it to topogigi or flash on a completely stock ROM for your country. Maybe?
And yes there is already a flashable GB package for CWM out there. It is what i am running right now and it seems perfectly fine!!

I just updated my phone to GB version 20b Singapore starhub rom,rooted and I found my apps and framework under system file is odex.
So my question is....
1)How do I deodex it?
2)I found all the custom rom and theme is deodex,if I install deodex custom rom/theme over my odex,will I get a bootloop?
Well,to let you guys know I just flash modaco GR4 rom and deodex theme...resulting a bootloop but I manage to see a boot animation,after that is bootloop...so it's that normal?!
Lastly can I install Paul's v20l-stock-rooted-deodex.zip file?If so,will my version will be v20l instead of v20b?

Flash any custom ROM, they are all deodexed except if clearly precised. Mostly Paul's ROM are available in odex versions for those who don't want to customize.
If you flash a 20L, you'll have ......20L.
Make a good factory reset in CWM, maybe twice before flashing new ROM, and perhaps reformat /system /data and /cache to be sure.
P.S: a google search is sometimes more fast than asking here ;-)

Thanks for the answer Striatum.
I've try the 1st one xultimate,but get an error in LGE video player when deodexing,not sure what is the error.
2nd one I haven try yet,maybe next time
Well,I've flash Rebuild of Official Italian/European v20l Gingerbread Update from Hell_97 and it's work perfectly.
Ohh..I also copy my original build.prop file and paste it to rebuild one,and guest what...my rom version now is v20b!
Just for my curiosity, why do you absolutely need a 20b version?
