Hi Guys I'm a complete noob so please no pointing and laughing!!! lol
I recently bought a second hand K990 which was rooted. It was advertised as a k999 and me rushing, flashed a stock k999 firmware to the fone without checking properly, I have looked but cant seem to figure out how to flash it back to standard k990 firmware any help would be much appreciated, but please bare in mind I'm new to this, I dont want custom roms or root just a stock standard K990
cheers guys
Beejay
Wait, did you mean p990 and p999
?
yes sorry p990 and p999.
I think I have flashed the wrong rom for my model, all my serial numbers and paperwork say p990 but it wont run any p990 roms just boot loops all the time I can get it to run p999 roms but it has the unknown baseband issue? can anyone help?
I'm flashing with cwm...
The easiest way to whip it back into shape is probably to NVFlash an old rom, root it and install CWM and continue from there.
Sorry do you have P990 or p999? And is a stock P990 or stock p999 in your p990/p999? I'm confused at the moment.

Sorry forgot to post that I managed to get it back by using this exact method installed CWM and flashed an old rom to the phone, then wiped the lot including cwm I was then able to connect to nvflash, it wouldn't do this while I had the p999 rom installed, once NVflash was done installing a stock rom I managed to boot up and now have the fone working thanks for all the intended help guys ... I dare not touch it now as it's quite finnicky and I dont want to mess it up again! so looks like Froyo for me lol thanks again.

Hi everybody. Before starting, i must ask you to apologize me for my bad english. I'm new on Android and I've rooted my lg 2x last week, after lg released gingerbread 2.3.4. My question is: (even if probably someone has already answered my question in another thread, n im sorry for that, but unfortunatelly if someone has i didnt find the answer) if i flash a new rom (i was thinking about cyanogen's one) and then i have to take my phone to the lg assistance for any kind of problem, how will i revert this process?? will i have to unroot and then flash a stock rom or just unroot my phone or what?? still didnt get it, sorry for that but im a real noob
thx for your time
use smartflash
Code:

it will delete all your user data and back to stock rom again. so you don't need to worry about the warranty.
Hello!!
I've recently updated my phone to Official ICS (Korean Ver.) V30I and I had problems installing the recovery.
I could root my phone, its just that I can't install the recovery. I know there are already modified ICS Korean Ver. for p970 but there are still a lot of bugs and battery life is kind a shorter than the official ics.
First, I've used rom manager to install but after boot, ""security error"" came up at boot and cannot even start.
Second, I've also tried using other methods such as programs made by OB devs but still the same problem.
So I would like to ask, if anyone out there has this problem and any solutions to this, please reply.
Have a nice day and thanx.!!

Don't use ROM Coverter! It doesn't put the different bin parts correctly with such a large bin file.
If your using V30I then I'm assuming you have KU5900. Use novasoc's lg extractor to extract the bin file, patch the various .bin files together in numerical order. You can then use novasoc's recovery injector to patch the bin file. Patch with SFT and voila.

How did you root the phone without CWM?
Oh. Thats easy. Just use unlockroot program^google it^ and your phone will be rooted.
Anyhow now p970 users have official ics installed on their phones...can someone please find a way to install cwm ... Cuz as i mentioned above... I still get security error at boot.... And also Ive pretty much used all the methods above and still not working
thanx

thanks for the reply, my friend... i just figured out what to do and was able to bring the phone to living world again. the trick is to put it in "update mode" what is everything but intuitive...
Hi everyone. I have a LG Optimus Black and I need to take it to service. Because I root-ed and installed custom rom I need to go back to stock version. I have a little problem because my computer doesn't recognize the phone anymore so I can't use smartflash. Does anyone of you know another way to return to stock version? Can I flash stock trough CWM? I need v10b. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Have a nice evening and thank you for your answers!
try to change usb port, not usb 3.0 but on usb 2.0 in SW mode for able to use SFT
I already tried that. I even tried a different computer. Does no one have a stock version that I could flash trough CWM? Even if it is ICS ore something like that. Thanks a lot anyway!
with lg Tools maybe, LGMobile Update (B2C), support, recovery phone.

you do realize that flashing even a stock rom through cwm will still not make the phone "stock". you'd still have cwm installed and need to get rid of that. try flashing a kdz instead...

His post stated he has a problem with his USB. Flashing kdz or files in SmartFlash is not an option.
The link posted above is not a regular "stock" ROM. It's a project that contains stock "recovery.img" inside the zip. Like what was discussed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224465
It is the same adding the unlocked bootloader together with the recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160394 on a flashable zip or any .img on a certain partition.
Code:
package_extract_file("x-loader.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p1");
package_extract_file("u-boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2");
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3");
package_extract_file("recovery.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p4");
So my LGP999 of 2 years after I "rooted" it, and tried too install a custom recovery changed the boot logo, and doesn't even load up just stays up the book logo or the s/w screen sometimes, I can't load clockwork mod, I am a noob, don't get me wrong i've flash many roms on my nexus 4 but really want to revive my LG-P999 from my friend, If this helps I bought it from wind mobile canada.
Nvflash and smartflash are the last resort, can revive any kind of soft brick. Unfortunately all binaries available are from stock roms, you'll have to root and install recovery in order to install custom roms afterwards.
Sorry to break the news to you, but afaik the P999 is incompatible with P990 ROMs! The P999 is NOT an Optimus 2x, but rather a LG G2x.
Check out this thread for more details.
Good luck fixing it!
You can fix it. Make sure baseband are older than latest update(flash one with smartflash). Then use LG update tool and do an emergency update. LG update your phone by checking current baseband
If there is anyone still wandering around these old relic halls I have a quick question. My aunt just got the LG Thrill 4G P925 from a friend. It keeps saying there is not enough storage and will not install any apps from the market or anything at all. I intended to just root it and flash a custom CM Rom or maybe another stock rom. I think that would be fine for her. I expect whatever is wrong is probably software related as storage in settings shows plenty of internal and SD storage.
I rebooted into recovery and well, would you look at that? It booted into CWM v6.0.1.9. Ah hah, It is already rooted with Super User installed but it is running FROYO with Baseband version 01.1042.00 I believe I need to update to the newest baseband? I assume that once I do that I can flash any ole rom via CWM just like I would normally do. Where do I get this update tool to update to the newest baseband? Is there just a way to flash that via CWM as well as that would be ideal. Working on these old low end spec phones is difficult as there tends to not be much support or development. Any ideas or help would be great. I was glad to see it was rooted but I hate to have to update via LG Tool and then have to reroot.... ugh. Thanks if your out there!!!!
Alot of these links are dead. I have the LG Flash tool but I'm not sure what to do with it. I guess I need a. .dll file but I'm not sure which one. Or perhaps a .kdz file?

Have not checked the forums in a few weeks. My tut includes how to flash a baseband
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39269819
Driver install is VERY fiddly. I recently reflashed custom ICS and had trouble and I wrote the thing lol. I dunno what baseband you need for your CM. There is a link there for basebands besides what is included in the xbsa pack. I dunno if thosd links are still good. If any in the guide are down pm me. If they are mine I can reupload someplace.

Is it not possible to just flash a baseband in recovery? I've done it on the Nexus, my G2, etc. If I could flash the right baseband I could just flash an updated rom and be done with all this....
