[Q] how can i install GB on LGOB? plz help - LG Optimus Black

Hi everyone, i'm currently using Nova v7 (yes V7, i was too lazy to upgrade from 7 to 8, cuz i had alot of apps installed... wtv )
My question is, how can i go from Nova v7, to GB ? without brick my OB.
i would appreciate if u could tell me in detail cuz im still a newbie on this things, like if i need erecovery, CWM or any of that.
appreciate the time spent,
best regards

If you're not from Korea theb GB isn't out yet, except CM7. You need to wait a few days for the official to come out.
And if you want CM (nightly), then flash it from CMW doing a full data, cache, dalvik wipe before flashing (maybe after too).

Connect your phone to the PC, install the LG Phone software that came with the phone, and use the software update feature. Simple as that. Please note however that GB *is not released yet* so don't ask when it will be released as nobody knows anything else other than "soon".

You can use KDZ method or LG Software Updater (B2CApp)

Remember to make full wipe before flashing or you'll get a bootloop.

im sorry for being so annoying,
but can u guys take some time and explain me in detail, step by step what i must do when android 2.3 is release for my LG OB?
im really new at this things and dont wanna brick my dear fone *.*.
once more, appreciate all the time spent helping me out
u guys are the best
best regards,

Hey ruibullseye, better then asking here is if you use the search and some of your time to learn stuff. Almost all the usual OB fw upgrade/change questions are already answered in this subforum. Same for most problems you might get into. I started using android phone about a month ago. Following the forum around i can say it only took me about 5-6 hours to get familiar with the basic hacks for this phone. And also unbricking procedures and emergecy stuff, which i needed...twice. you cannot avoid it, it will happen to you at least once...
The truth is out there. Use search. ;-) if any issues, ask. But be sure to read the rules before posting.
Cheers.

Ok,since noone simplyy answers the question, i will. Even though u are right that learning by doing is still the best way... but why brick the phone? To find a way to unbrick and recover everything?
Well first i suggest u backup everything with titanium backup(can get it in store) then i first bootet into recovery, then did a full, davlic and battstats wipe, returned to menu, chose backup and restore and simply restored froyo. Then reboot and everything is fine and u can keep checking for updates. This is the procedure i chose, which surely is not the best and fastest, but the savest for me. Hope u understand my english and also have success ;-)
And sorry, because I didnt see some of the advices you gave to him, or I just found em to superficial, so I posted a guid, which as I think can even be understood by a complete NOOB

[Q] The LG Thrill,Finally Got It! looking for help

Hello Guys,
starting with a ton of thanks to all of you, that let this place be the wonderful place it is for people looking for some news and advices etc. etc. etc.
and absolutly sorry in advance if i havent find what i'm looking for, boring people with the noob thread,but that's it, i've a couple of questions.
i finally got my LG Thrill 4G and i live in Italy and quite everything is working fine with the stock rom, but i've yet customized my old (bad) Motorola Backflip with a GB Rom,and i would like to test some customized Rom,but for example is hard to find the Rom, cause dead links, and i have a couple of questions:
1-i've rooted the phone and installed the CWM (and it works, cause i accidentally delete some system file and done a restore with a saved backup through the recovery) i've also downloaded from market the Rom manager ,but doesn't recognized my recovery and ask me again to flash the cwm, but it shows just the Optimus v and the Optimus 2x options not the thrill or the O3D. so the question is, how is it possible that it doesn't recognize it? is a problem between the download from the market,i'm pretty sure to have followed instructions in the right way, cause it works. why there isn't the right choiche for the thrill?some suggestions? Thanks in Advance
2-i'm in Italy so i can't use a lot of bloat like every kind of at&t stuff and i was wondering if ,like for the Rom customized,there is a way just to trash all of this things i never use,cause sometimes i received message you cant trash it.
there is a particolar procedur to follow to don't lose some system file uninstalling them?
and finally the third
i've seen that some of the Rom of the O3D i can use on the thrill,there some problems with the radio,or some advice in using an "european" Rom in an usa phone?
thanks to all

It's a fantastic phone as far as hardware. The majority of us are a bit bitter over the lack of software support from manufacturer/carrier in the US. If you have the 30 day return policy, I'd give the phone a chance.
I really like mine. Stick with the stock ROM, just remove all of the bloat ware. Other ROMS aren't ready yet. Maybe they never will be, but at least stock works.
I used the Galaxy One-Click Root program and(yes it worked) then removed all of the garbage AT&T junked it up with. Runs great other than the camera acting wonky every now and again. I agree about staying with official build rom. As bad as I want Gingerbread, I'm not wanting the headache of what works, and what doesn't work.

i think it too , and here in italy we dont' have a policy like this, here the O3D costs about 600 euros, and is really not affordable.
but in any case i've got mine and i'm really happy with it.
just the battery is a bit sad,but nothing major looking at galaxy s2 or other smartphone.
i'm very glad about it.

Another silly question:
I've tested a couple of roms and i'm trying using a O3D,but i've read that GB Roms have 3d issues.
Wich is one Froyo based Rom that goes fast and stable,without battery draining and can still use 3d and hdmi?
If i update the baseband to GB,i can restore or install Froyo Roms,without change it?
Many thanks to all.
P.s.
Just to let you know, in Italy,on my thrill,
Thriller,and Thrill_seeker are good,but also the doomed Froyo.
The stock Rom of O3D is good too,but still drain batt.
Thanks to all.
Stavo pensando se c'e' bisogno di qualche traduzione in italiano per i miei compaesani,che come me hanno acquistato un bel Thrill.

ICS Repack Problems
Hi all,
I managed to flash ICS Repack by Chainfire on my galaxy note today. It is pretty cool and really fast. But I've few questions to ask regarding this new ROM. Please be kind enough to direct me to a appropriate thread if these questions are already been asked and solved.
After I flash ICS Repack, I cannot find CWM anymore. What happened to it ? and how I can get it back ?
How I can go back to my old GB rooted ROM (I've CW backup of that rooted LB2 GB ROM) ?
By now, this ICS version cannot render South Asian languages. but LB2 rendered it very well. Are there any option to get that language support on this ICS ?
I need to change this Keyboard (Chinese) to English. Any other method to change it (Instead of installing GO Keyboard) ?
In our county phone numbers have two formats (our numbers are start with "0" but receiving calls don't have that starting "0" ). But in this ICS ROM, those 2 numbers are Identifying as two different numbers. Any method to fix that issue ?
Can I get my CPU speed to 1.4GHz again ?
Please be kind enough to help me on these matters.
Thank You.
This is why users should study BEFORE they flash. Anyways. Flash CWM, boot it, resrore backup. Cant help you much. Just got my Note happy studying

Stick with GB for now...people working with ICS around here like to make you jump through hoops just to get your phone to work...so if you're not will to spend the time on it, then stick with GB...no fuss, no muss.
The answer to 3. is a very simple 'yes, you can always go back'.
Also, massive thanks for updating your OP with the answers you have found. If only all question-askers did this.

Appreciate the time spent,

See I also have got that problem, of not being able to stay kind, but mostly (at least I hope so) I think back, how it was, when I was a total NQQB. Then I always remember, how cool it was, when some1 guided me step by step and giving me links, information, or whatever I needed... Think back of the first days of yours here... Didnt you also feel like: "WDF? WDF? WDF? What do I have to to? WDF? Dont understand...? What's that mean? Can someone explain? Am I really so much of a noob? I thought I understand a lot of computers, but now I feel like a complete idiot... How should I EVER get a custom ROM to my device? "
Those were my thoughts a few months ago... And now see all my posts, how to's and so on here... The main thing is: Stay cool, help out as good as you can, dont flame, cause 1 day you ll need help too and be thankful for a kind advice, that is being given.
So guide that man kindly to his goal (or whatever you call it) and feel happy, cause you really helped some1 out.
I just couldnt reply longer, cause I had to learn meanwhile and my traffic was full, so I had to ask my neighbor, to share his WIFI with me
and what about my data i have on my phone (not SDCARD)
anyway to retrieve that?
BTw N00B THANKS ALOT FOR ALL YOUR HELP SO FAR, and Straight answers. =D
Hope you made a nandroid, like suggested in my NOOB HOW TO... :-/ Backup everything with titanium Backup. This is gonna save all settings, game data, sms, contacts,... contacts can also be saved by syncing with googlemail, or other accounts, or you export them to the sdcard (go to contacts --> menu button --> export TO SDCARD/USIM) or with the LG app (LG Suite i think it is called).
Hope you didnt delete everything already...
Oh and there is a thanks button below the posts

Calm down. We are becoming a lazy bunch i tell ya that. Nobody wants to read. They just wants answers imidiately. That's no problem, someone will always help. What i can't stand is, never saying "thank you" people. If somebody helps you a simple thank you should be in order. Nobody gets paid for helping....
And don't forget the times you were a noob, desperately looking for help. So always help others.
Before all that READ people, You can not believe what i've learned in a month by simply reading.
just a quick question for a quick answer.
Basicly Marvel v5. its already a Gingerbread rom right?
because i was thinking that i needed to install the official 2.3 to be able to install MArvel.
No, you can directly flash marvel, zeus,... no need to up or downgrade before, except you flash a stock rom, without ext4 file support

you need a lot of reading, please read every sticky of the mini forum
you can take your phone back to stock by flashing firmware through Odin (PC software)
first you will need to be on gingerbread because every rom here is maid for gb
second read about cwm recovery, recovery is what you will need to flash custom rom
follow every procedure correctly and no brick will be in your path
i think im using gingerbread, ill provide SS..
so i need to DL ODIN in my PC(stock purposes?)
if i follow the step by step procedure 100%? no brick will happen?
is there any link for CWM RECOVERY?
google for flashing firmware to mini and you will get Odin
read about flashing cwm, now also Odin will be used and do jot use rom manager your mobile may brick
for 2-3 days do only reading then do what you want to

First you will have to flash CWM
Follow the steps in the link given below:

Then you have to install a custom ROM of your choice(according to your specifications)
I suggest Andro-id 3.2

Few beginner questions.

Hello guys I just sold my 4S and bought this Note 1 , anyway im new to android flashing and this stuff , ive heard that its way different than iOS restoring which is really easy and simple. Right now i got a few questions , If i missed a step or did something wrong it'll render my device unusable ofcourse , but will it be unrecoverable ? Thats the first thing. Second thing is that is it recommended that i install custom roms? right now i need one's with the Water Ripple effects on lockscreens , or if you can just tell me how to install the effect without custom rom's that'll be helpful because i want to flash official 4.1.2 jelly bean first and then the lockscreen effect. Im just new to the Android stuff and i dont know where to start Same feeling back in 2008 when i bought my first iPhone and got confused n' all
Read around for awhile, its what got me started when I first came here.
Again, read, read read, and avoid asking questions which have been answered countless times its annoying really.
Start with this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997, understand it by heart before attempting to root/flash on your new Note :good:
I dont really get anything , extract till tar what does that mean?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
If you just install stock official 4.1.2 rom via odin, it should come with the ripple effect.
Or if the update is already available in your country, you can just update it to the latest official rom via kies.

You'll notice that all of the download links are zip files.
You just need to extract the zip file until you find the .tar file.
Get 7-zip if you don't already have an archive reader.
Help with kernel
So recently I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Note GTN7000 and flash it with franco kernel, then when I turned on my phone the bluetooth is not working and it constantly crashes and get stuck (The screen just go green and pink like an old TV with bad signal). So I panicked and unroot it immidiately. But that didnt seem to solve the problem.
So my question is, can I flash it with the original kernel. If so how? and where can I get it. can you teach me. (NOOB REQUEST )

Yep, there's a way to install roms without PC, using mobile Odin, but before that you should have your phone been rooted first.
Well i can upgrade with PC but im kinda afraid .. All i want is just updating to jelly bean official on my note , I searched for about 2 days and learned how its being done but while searching i came to posts showing people crying cause they got their phone bricked cause of kernel blah blah , i also saw at the end of the installation guides that it will get my phone in a boot loop or stuck at samsung logo and im not sure xD i just want to update and im taking it seriously cause i dont want to brick my phone ..

Wait a few minutes. Let me get on my PC and I'll give you step-by-step instructions.
Now, do this:
Since you're scared, we'll do this the safest way possible
1.)Download a stock GB rom from here.(You can always come back to this ROM if you run into any trouble).Flash it via PC Odin.
2.)Wipe data and cache from recovery (Press Vol Up+Power+Home when phone is off in order to boot to recovery)
3.)Download stock JB rom from here.Flash it via PC Odin.
OR
1.)Update using Kies.
You're done
Alright ill do this when i get home , hehe thanks man ill update this thread if i get into any trouble

Im following this method right now , so i just download Gingerbread (550+mb i think?) and install via odin and then i have gingerbread? No additional steps ? No chance of loops/errors/bricks or anything or installing additional kernels like some people said cause that's whats confusing me ... i dont really want any custom kernal i want jelly bean stock ... if anybody could guide me through skype i'd be thankful
EDIT: Iv'e read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633938 thread carefully and it says that if you wipe using Settings you will get eMMC bug , i was on 4.0.4 and wiped but it booted normally without any problems (No loops No Restarting on its own No lags) and it was smooth , even though that app from playstore says my chip is insane .. Somebody explain this :S ?

Yes, then you'll have gingerbread. Don't forget to wipe after installing gingerbread.
It may brick. Not definite that it will brick. Still, better safe than sorry. Never wipe on stock ICS kernel!

Again, read, read read, and avoid asking questions which have been answered countless times its annoying really.
Start with this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997, understand it by heart before attempting to root/flash on your new Note :good:

Well said mate. Was going to say exactly the same. People seem to rethink it's a manned help site.
We will help but help your self first. That's how you learn.

I actually read and made my research already , and also successfully upgraded to jelly bean and i must say , i made a big mistake >.< The performance is crap and the phone gets overheated in a few minutes on both note 1 and 2 ( Its on 4.1.1) Im not really into kernels or custom rom flashing cause i already had a bad experience when i emmc bricked my old s2 thats why i take my steps carefully with this note. Ill downgrade to 2.3.6 and ordered an original battery (Yeah im using fake one stupid i know) and see of that fixes it. Appreciate your help guys , thanks
