Hopefully this simplifies things for those of you that are trying to get Gingerbread installed. If you need screen shots for certain parts I will try to help out.
Watch Video and follow steps above "http://youtu.be/ExwoHC5pOiQ"
To get back to stock just use the V10e .fls file and then load the stock rom from CWM recovery.
For factory stock try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1270832 after the baseband is restored
Files you will need to Flash Baseband from Froyo to Gingerbread and Back http://www.mediafire.com/?c2i2f4c9sz8u8z2
Froyo baseband for Brazil below. Might help users not getting signal in Canada or Latin America.

Just for the record, I'm not taking credit for anything other than just putting the information already out there into simple step by step directions that I used.

It actually seems great to me. Battery life is improved a little, plus you have some added features and a better camera. So far I've been happy.

That's it? A little? That's not very encouraging. I've been waiting to see how GB improves battery life but if it's just 'a little', that's not good. I'm going to just return this damn thing.

been using for 2 days its not a way better battery experience but a very stable and clean GB for thrill

So, everybody confirm that Thrill p925 can upgrade to 2.3.5 leak as instruction? Sorry for noob question, cuz i have just bought it one day. And in my country Vietnam, there is no way to get warranty or replacement. But i kinda want to be on 2.3.5 ^^

How do I check if my phone is rooted? (I'm sorry I recently started looking into this)
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App

Did you use superoneclick to root it? And do you have cwm? If you do odds are your rooted! Btw I'm loving GB super fast and smooth. I'm using coh'a lite rom instead of the Acura one the only problem I have with it is that Swype keeps force closing so I had to install some other swipe keyboard from the market, but its not a bad tradeoff

How about 3g signal? My country only has 3G with 1900 mhz. Now i am very exited. Downloading has almost done ^^

i have been having trouble with step 16
can you clarify on what i have to do for the step with lg flash tools and were to find the correct files

If I update the baseband and use this method to flash an O3D GB rom and dislike it, will I be able to use a nandroid backup to go back to a useable state?
tl;dr - Will a nandroid restore reverse the baseband change?

We should use XP to flash bootloader rather than win7, shouldn't we?

I downloaded the file from Lg Server
Followed the guide on how to install a KDZ files (link posted above) thanks to adixtra
When the phone rebooted it when into a bootloop so i removed the battery put it back on and went into recovery (volume down + 3D button + power button) wipe data and factory restore
reboot the phone and now I have gingerbread
did a superoneclick root access to gain root
installed CWM again
added the APN's and did a titaniumBackup batch restore and now everything its working and with the nice features
working on a rom for the thrill to add windows FX and other things

Are you able to go back to stock froyo afterwards? All features work? 4G, gps, mms, etc. Also, will there be a need to go to stock and grab the OTA gingerbread update for the thrill when it is released? Thanks in advance.

Yes you can go back to froyo just by doing the exact method but selecting the KDZ file for froyo.
ALL the features works (this is the live official update LG is pushing to european handsets) i have tried everything on my thrill and its working. (As I said before I can't test 4g so you can go ahead and try) obviosly have to set the APN lists manually because you are flashing a debranded (optimus 3d) firmware instead of the AT&T
I suppose that AT&T will release the Official Thrill firmware in the first week of december but unitl then you can install this update risk free and have the advantage of running the new gingerbread roms without going into the hassle of flashing the baseband alone with an XP machine and all that hard work.
Anyone else has installed this on there Thrill besides me? someone in the US so can test the 4G?

I am thinking about doing it. But don't wanna get stuck because I am new to android and I am going to be getting a new phone thru warranty. I figured its perfect to try since i will be replacing this phone anyway, just wanted to make sure I could go back to stock first. Maybe I will try it tonight. I am currently running "Thrill Seeker" custom rom. Do I need to go to stock before doing this?
Edit: also, sorry if this is a stupid question, but does this come with 3D converter?
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium

Still can't connect at even 3g at home with the new 920 update. So I doubt 4g will even work

Dear friends,
I tried to install by this method but did not continue the installation. There was a message "there is sufficient charge in the battery, recharge the device to continue", the battery has 80% load, it is normal that message appear?
This rom is for the LG Optimus 3D P-920. She will work on AT & T P-925?
There is no risk of brick the device?
I need install something before? (baseband, kernel, etc.)

I was at 72 when I started. Went fine.

Well, after flashing last night and spending some time using it, and getting some calls, so far so good.
Everything seems smoother overall, with less freezes. App compatibility seems better, and there is a definite difference in battery life.
Call quality and signal strength seem overall about the same, bit I thought it was pretty good before. Not quite as strong as my Atrix in bad areas, but not enough to bother me.
The only thing I haven't tried yet is 3g, or fauxG if you want to call it that. We have edge only at home. When I go back to work Monday I will be able to test that.

There is no need to install anything beforehand the KDZ file has everything needed although it is recommended that after flashing to do a factory reset through recovery. It is in deed for the p920 but it works as well for the p925 although some users report the signal drops a little for the 4g although it works. Everything else function pretty well and most important battery life is longer.

If you have CWM you can try this:
-Charge the battery to 100%
-reboot to recovery
-wipe battery stats
-retry to apply the KDZ file

[Q] How To: Change baseband from V20c to V21e

Hey, first time poster long time reader, not sure if this is correct spot for this question but i will change if needed.
I currently downloaded cyanogenmod 7 which i am using now on my Lg Thrill, but I want Thrillseeker or thiaiz 03d rom, so that i can use my 3d features on my phone. So i installed thrillseeker rom, and thiaiz, and both i cannot connect to my data, this was the only problem i found with both, i tried to go in and change my APN settings but was not allowed, i believe i am in need of baseband V21e, therefore i am trying to figure out how to get V21e on my thrill, any help would be great and appreciated. Thanks

Same question here!!!!
I read and read and read ... I found couple European v21E kudzu files. Are they safe to flash?
What is the easiest way?
Thanks in advance!

Yeah man same here, i've been looking everywhere but I'm unable to find anything useful, this site seems to be the best for information, hopefully theres an answer for it

Thanks man! And this is answer to my own question
I was reading that guide before and last night decided to try... It works nice! I couldn't run vbs script (for stupid reason drag/drop of vbs into cmd din't work) so did manual adjustment to hosts file.
The kdz file I downloaded was Greek one But it was easy to navigate to language settings and switch to English.
yes, after flashing kdz phone went into boot loop but I fixed it by booting into recovery and doing factory reset (I found it using search for that tread - you see, I used search!!! .
Then I rooted it with megatron and now in the process of flashing custom ROM.
Thanks again!

I just followed that guide and it worked for me...
Did you have touch recovery? There was warning not to use touch recovery...
Can you go into recovery? (3D+vol_down+Power)

trying again now, my phone wasn't in download mode, was just showing up in device manager because it was on, i now have it in download mode and hopefully all goes well, i will get back to you

On the "Select Country & Language" box, click "Clear phone Software udpate Registry" when i click select country and language, there is no clear phone software update registry....

and when i go into the recovery (hold 3d buttom + vol down) its a different boot screen then i used to have, something about cache, command and log not being able to locate or somethin, my clockwork mod previous recovery that had cyanogenmod7 on it is not there anymore, when i restore system and wipe data i still cannot go any furthur, just a lit up black screen like

i also tried the boot recovery but it is now changed since i rebooted after the first step, it says something about cache log and command, not being able to be located or whatever, *not working* and my restore i had saved with clockworkmod (cyanogenmod7) is also unavailable

also lg mobile support tool says im up to date

GOOD NEWS everything worked perfect after, i am back to completely stock, that was fun, your method worked perfect, it was just me not being in download mode that messed everything up at first, THANK YOU, you were a great help, now to root again and get my programs back, let the fun begin again! haha

OK, now it's my turn to cry...
I'm in Canada. I installed Greek version of v21e. Then I rooted with megatron and installed ThiaiZO3D ROM.
And now I have problem with my basebands... Here we use WCDMA 850 (band V) and WCDMA 1900 (band II). For some rason I lost my 850 band...
I read that I need to install proper baseband. But how can I do it?
I can go into Hidden menu (3845#*920#) - Network Mode and select WCDMA 850. Then I go into Modem Setting - Engineering mode and still can see UMTS_Band_II...
Any suggestions?

ICS
Did you flash this for the thrill? Any extra steps to get it fully working on the thrill?

All you have to do is change the kdz file name to similar formats like other ones
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app

ICS
I got it flashed and it works great. Everything is fully functional on the thrill so far that I tried. It is a nice change over GB for sure. If anyone is curious how to flash this, here was my method...
1.) Get the KDZ file from here (http://www.android-files.de/P920V28B_00.kdz) and rename it to V28B_00.kdz.
2.) On this page (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1491870) go down to number 3 and set up Lg Flash Tool EXACTLY how it says.
3.) Select the renamed kdz file you just downloaded in the lg flash tool program and let it do it's thing.
4.) On my first bootup it stayed on the bootlogo forever and just would not start up so save yourself some time and do a factory data reset before your first bootup and it will load up fine. The proper way to do a factory hard reset after flashing is to hold VOL DOWN + PWR till it vibrates and it will prompt you to press the power button twice to reset.
Everyone enjoy ICS on their Lg Thrills!

thanks so much!

I suppose I can directly flash the renamed ics kdz?

As long as you follow all the steps above it will flash with no issues. Root and recovery are lost but I think there is a method to get both of them already. I will try to root and recovery later today. As far as staying unlocked after flashing, I am using straight talk so I didn't have to unlock. Hopefully someone else can help you out on that one.

Does that mean the "Software Update" on a stock GB Thrill would install ICS?
Or maybe boot it into "Emergency Mode" (or whatever it is) and using the official LG Tool would work to get ICS without having to do all the smallsrv stuff?
I guess what I'm really asking is, if AT&T officially released ICS, isn't there an easier way to install it?

If you are on stock maybe you can install using the LG Mobile Support Tool. Trying to use that from my ported ICS has messed my phone up though. I'll have to try to rebuild it tonight, hopefully just using the Flash Tool to flash the bin and fls.

I flashed the Korean ICS, hated the bugs, and reverted to GB.
Trying to use the LGMobile Support Tool to install official ICS and it fails. So I guess I'll have to flash the kdz manually.

The Mobile Support Tool appeared to be working for me, until it tried to reboot and I got an "Encryption Unsuccessful" screen.
Now I've used the bin and fls from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198069
After flashing the above with LGFlashTool, I still booted into the "Encryption Unsuccessful" screen, but powered down by long-pressing Power, then turning back on into factory reset mode with Volume down + Power. Following the reset, I appear to be running okay now.
Edit: Nevermind, having an issue , the phone won't work with either of the microSDs I have around. First it's saying they need to be formatted so I attempt that. Then it says the card is damaged.

I had the same problem. You need to go to settings - storage and clear both memories. After that, everything is going to be ok. Do you know how to root this official ICS version? (Already tried the adb and unlock root methods to no avail)

Thanks! I just stumbled into this and was coming to add the fix too! Both cards back !
I was going to attempt this method for root, but haven't tried yet - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39338374&postcount=3

I got the KDZ flashed. Running Official unrooted AT&T ICS now.
However, it seems I didn't do a factory reset and didn't NEED to. It's running just fun.
My system ROM is 619MB with 7.38MB free.
I'm wondering if that's normal... That's going to make some things pretty tough. (Guessing unsintalling Gulliver's Travels and that other crap will help)

I did the reset. My system memory is showing 102 MB of Apps (I installed a handful of things already), and 770 MB available.

I meant System ROM, not internal.
And odd, finally rooted, browsing SystemROM with ES File Explorer. Gulliver's not there. Biggest app is Golf and LG Home at 16MB each...
I remember someone made an app to get rid of most of the AT&T crap. That still work for ICS? I remember AT&T Contacts is required. Don't remove that...
Every boot takes a LONG ASS time, about 10 minutes, to scan my media. That's with no SD card inserted. I might do a factory reset.

no problem...
thank you! but that method does not have instructions and does not seem safe enough...
everyone keeps talking about this rom but no one is saying how to root the rom and no one is pointing out the 3D Converter problem, it does not work at all!!! it works the same way as the xbsall port LOL! and when it does, you can't adjust the brightness...:silly:
Its basically the same version as the xbsall port (v30b) but for some reason it cannot be rooted through the same methods...

I did a factory reset, and the phone stopped booting. Bizarre.
Anyways, I wiped everything but system, and reflashed the KDZ. It's booting now.
Then I flashed the ICS bootloader BUT I used the GB CWM v6. The other recoveries didn't seem to flash properly. So I'm stock rooted now. Now to remember what file to change to make the 3D button work as a shutter.

[Q] [LG Optimus 2x P990] Messed up with P999 G2x ROM

Hey,
I come from a Stock 2.3.4 ROM for LG Optimus 2x (P990). Wanted to install the latest Cyanogenmod and booted into Recovery, did the 3 wipe steps but then I couldnt find my zip from Cyanogenmod on my external SD. So I rebooted and only the LG logo showed up. Only solution was to flash it and for that I used a stock T-Mobile ROM which was U.S. (so I cant even use my SIM card there, Wifi is working though) But I didnt know it was for P999 and I have a German P990.
So now I'd like to either go back to Stock ROM or go straight to Cyanogenmod but I cannot do a SmartFlash Tool reset as it doesnt recognize my phone as P990. I tried dozens different methods but just would like to go back and then to flash to Cyanogenmod as my Stock ROM was 1&1 carrier branded (branded, NOT SIM locked) and couldnt update to the latest Android version and was basically stuck on 2.3.4.
Did this method too (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2585264), it goes into "S/W Upgrade Please wait while upgrading..." but SmartFlash Tool doesnt recognize the phone as P990 due to the P999 ROM probably (LG USB driver installed, APX driver also).

Aio toolkit works wonders in this situation ....u can download it from development section ....install apx driver first which is included in toolkit ....
Pm for further help if needed

No it doesnt. As I mentioned I did this and it gave out an error. Could not locate partition or something. Bootloader is okay the toolkit said.
