i'm on stock V10e with baseband 0725.
Overall, the experience is 'just' the same, except with browsing the interblag. Probably there are improvements with the new fw, but that's what i use the most.
With baseband 0622, i can get higher speed (125 kBps) compare to 75 kBps with the new one. This is not good.
I've read threads regarding the topic, but i'm preety much reluctant with the impending future after smartflashing the baseband (restoring apps and adjusting settings all over again). God no.
Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.
Root your phone if you have not already done it. Install CWM recovery and do a nandroid backup. Flash desired baseband after that restore your nandroid backup.
What to restore, just data?
thanks for replying.
Well the nadroid backup restores the ROM whit all your settings and apps whit their data. Since the baseband flash wipes/data.
For rooting I suggest super one click:

To install CWM recovery the easiest way, download ROM Manager from market and flash the recovery from there. Then you can boot into recovery from ROM Manager as well.
edit: deleted
Yup. Thanks. Now its time to gather some courage. Anything could happen.
Oh yeah I forgot that you will need a matching RIL for your baseband, for that download GetRIL from market or LG RIL version. And good luck
Hello pls where i can get P990 stock rom zip ( czech version ) in zip format... for me is better instalation.
Please answer fast
I have backup stock rom but if i flash it .... in boot screen freeze and after 5 sec restart phone
You'll first need to convert your file system to EXT3 first. CM is EXT4 and stock is EXT3. Flash this zip in recovery: http://android.modaco.com/topic/336...3-for-converting-your-device-er-back-to-ext3/
So you'll need to do this in recovery:
1. Wipe everything
2. Flash the BackToExt3 zip
3. Restore stock rom backup.
This should work.
Nice big thx this is easy and very fast

You can flash it with UpTestEX.exe or extract with LGExtract.exe then flash img with CWM recovery.

trapacska, you are a legend! For months I have been troubled with my CM9 flashed phone, wishing I still had video etc, and couldn't get my phone recognised by any pc i attached it to. Your zip file has fixed all my problems in about 3 minutes! Thanks a million!

I read this post above and cant go anywhere further because the silly rules do not allow noobsters to ask noobster questions ????
heres my problem,
I have P990 that came with froyo
the thing was working perfectly apart from front camera in Skype and silly old me, not being able to ask novice questions here (because you are not allowed) somehow managed to install the cryogen 9 naively thinking that this will fix the only problem I ever had. And then the world of unstability, locked and frozen screens, freezing, restarting, random uninstaling of apps, cameras not working, video freezing, music (what music??) not available and not even starting etc started to be my daily dose of my randomly properly working p990 phone.
Is there anyone kind enough to explain how to do stock rom as per above post install on top of my big mistake .
I have an unstable, unreliable (rooted ) P990 that is currently (very randomly) running cryogen 9 , I downloaded the 2 part files from trapacska's post (thanks for thinking of us mortals), I have 2 laptops , one with windows XP , one with windows 7 64 bit, a usb cable to connect laptop to the phone and I will to do anything to return my phone to some normality .
Please take me step by step or show me links how to do it and what other programs do I need in order to make my phone work as it is supposed to work.
Please understand that I do not understand what all this bellow means, and would really appreciate if anyone could explain or point to places where these things are explained ( please omit the first point, I found how to root elsewhere):
THIS IS 100% FACTORIAL STOCK:
-you have to root
-wipe data and cache NOW NOT NEEDED(built in format /system /data /cache)
-100% factorial stock kernel included
-baseband and recovery will not be changed
-if you have bootloop, try to flash backtoext3 first

Thank you !! :good:
Script by spyrosk for backing up data of internal SD card so you don't loose anything when using NVFlash version: LINK -- currently for use on Windows only
Personal note November 20:Let's face it:
After all stock ICS currently just is no good for many people's everyday use. While it does perform very well for many other people.
Cocluding from my own ICS usage experience with the latest v28E & v28G builds:
stock ICS indeed is very smooth while scrolling, even without a custom kernel
but unfortunately with rising workload it starts hanging and lagging annoyingly much (on my own phone)
for many people it is just not stable enough (yet)
More specifically today I've made new versions / rebuilds of my stock Gingerbread kernel and my Stock GB GoodBye ROM v2.0 (The rebuilt and updated ROM has just been released (NOV 20 2012).) and came to following conclusions (for my own phone):
GoodBye ROM is smoother than my current ICS builds and stays smooth
GoodBye ROM is more stable than my current ICS builds
GoodBye ROM is more energy efficient than my current ICS builds
GoodBye ROM is faster than my current ICS builds
GoodBye ROM offers a highly tweakable custom kernel and TrymHansen's outstanding GuesteOC app
So many people have written that this ICS ROM is a great ROM, well I can promise you guys, if you already like this quite non-perfect ICS, you will for sure love my Gingerbread Goodbye ROM v2.0R !
In case you guys haven't tried it yet, I'd be happy if you do so. I've put quite much effort in the latest versions.
So if ICS does not work good for you on your phone and you want a ROM smoother, faster, more stable and more energy saving than my currently offered ICS builds, then you might want to try this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34379632&postcount=267 (NVFlash versions available)
What does all this mean?
I'm temporarily going back to my Gingerbread ROM for my personal use
I'll watch further ICS development from there, everyone is free to join me
I will continue updating this ROM to the latest ICS bases as usual, just don't use them myself until performance and stability improves

Essential update November 16:
New NVFlash versions (v28E & v28G) are available.
New features:
fixed bootloader, so Smartflash will work again for everyone
CMW Recovery 6, no more too big font in CWM, also no more /cache errors [edit: if you still get them: just format /cache partition in CWM]
fixing sizes of recovery partition and boot partition
NO full wipe required!! New NVFlash version can backup your /data partition and restore later (Internal SD will still be wiped!)
Noob-secure flashing process. Telling the user exactly what to do and asks for confirmation before doing anything.
Stock LG ICS content for internal SD card can be flashed as well (user is asked) - gives some extra music, apps, videos
No more deodexed version. I think odexed works best.
Google Now (Online-version) preinstalled, still about 25 MB free space in /system partition
additional widgets from SU660 preinstalled
the new installation scripts are available for both Windows and Linux (tested by me extensively)
Windows APX driver included (for Linux not needed)
hopefully no more battery drainage problems on v28G version
some minor things. A custom kernel by me will come as soon as we get the final kernel sources!
New CWM ZIPs are available as well! Please be aware that they do not upgrade bootloader (=fix of Smartflash Bug), CWM (from 5 to 6) or fix partition sizes for boot and recovery partition (were too small, could cause problems lateron). Only NVFlash version does that. So you might prefer to, as a one-time-upgrade, use NVFlash version. You can, with the new NVFlash versions, backup and restore your /data partition, so your settings and apps won't be lost. Only Internal SD will still be wiped.
The new ICS builds are available in download folder, in subfolder "Second Generation ROMs (improved, recommended)".

About the CWM for new bootloader:
made by me thanks to help and files by wkpark - this guy is really knowledgeable!
Enjoy: It is still possible to enter CWM DIRECTLY through pressing "VOL -" AND POWER !!!!
This ROM is for ...
those who want to easily change to the new Stock ICS bootloader, partitioning layout and kernel
those who want everything to be CLEAN STOCK and still want to have all features like root, CWM and so on
the DEVs who need a solid base for making their custom ROMs out of - feel free to take this ROM as base for your ICS custom ROMs!! - you can make them as CWM versions, because everyone who is using this ROM can flash your custom ROM easily with CWM then.
those who want to use it as a stable and smooth daily driver
those who have bricked their device and need to unbrick it (NVFlash version)
those who want to switch from Gingerbread or CM10 with older bootloader and different partitioning directly to ICS v28G (NVFlash version)
those who want to get the currently best possible base for later installation of custom kernels and custom ROMs (CWM flashable) released for the new bootloader and partitioning design
those who want a very simple installation and a rock-solid system
those who want the Stock ICS, but just a bit better - with essential tweaks like ad blocking, init.d, ramdisk optimizations, full adb support, facelock, some LG crapware removed (only two apps, keeping it as stock as possible), CWM added, rooted,...
This ROM combines providing as much features as possible while still staying as much stock as possible! It comes with original new LG ICS bootloader (unlocked), with original v28G kernel (no changes needed), original new LG ICS partitioning layout and of course ALL original v28G apps except 2 useless ones
All downloads (NVFlash, CWM): http://d-h.st/users/gueste/?fld_id=7336#files

Addons (most of them already included in second generation builds)
Calendar widget + favorite contacts widget
app manager(task killer), music widget, power control widget and the new lg bootanimation

Installation NVFlash version (under Windows): (internal SD will be wiped, /data partiton can be saved and restored with 2nd generation builds)
download the ROM, unpack it with WinRar, 7Zip or similar to any folder you want
take battery out of phone, press VOL + AND VOL - simulataneously, and while doing this plug the phone via USB to your PC
screen of phone remains black, this is normal, but you should hear a sound that you plugged the device. Probably you have to install APX drivers at this point if you are asked. They are included in the latest NVFlash builds. Tutorial on driver installation: http://www.modaco.com/topic/335416-nvflash-setup-instructions-drivers-links-active/
assuming that you already installed APX drivers: run the "flash_windows.bat" file in the folder where you extracted the ROM
follow the instructions
That's already it Usually no complications to be feared. Enjoy!
Installation NVFlash version (under Linux): (internal SD will be wiped, /data partiton can be saved and restored with 2nd generation builds)
download the ROM, unpack it with WinRar, 7Zip or similar to any folder you want
take battery out of phone, press VOL + AND VOL - simulataneously, and while doing this plug the phone via USB to your PC
screen of phone remains black, this is normal, but you should hear a sound that you plugged the device (eventually you don't hear a sound but it still should work).
run the "flash_linux.sh" file in the folder where you extracted the ROM (make sure it is executeable, else chmod accordingly, also the NVFlash binary)
follow the instructions
That's already it Usually no complications to be feared. Enjoy!
CWM version (no full wipe required): - for those who are already on new bootloader, partition layout and CWM -> they can re-flash this ROM without full wipe. Do NOT use it when you are on old bootloader currently (GB, CM7, CM10)!
Installation CWM version: = NO required Full wipe
make sure you are already on latest bootloader, partition layout and CWM
copy the zip on your SD, install via CWM - if you want a full-wipe, do one before. Cache and Dalvik Cache gets automatically wiped.
That's already it Boot and enjoy!
Bugs:
Android Terminal emulator needs an update from Play Store, else it will crash when you open it. Updating fixes it.
To prevent WIFI from not working:
I'm not sure in how far BB is related to WIFI, but I'd recommend upgrading to latest BB if you don't have it already :good:
Some user who reported WIFI stopped working was on a very old BB.
ALSO: on setup wizard after ROM installation it's recommended NOT to import / restore old phone settings from your google account. The imported WIFI settings will in some cases break your WIFI. Try to clear all WIFI data in case you did and WIFI is broken.

About going back to different ROMs and backups NOT made under the new bootloader:
it is not possible to restore CWM backups with this ROM that have been made using a different partitioning layout and bootloader. So you can only go back to GB or CM7 / 10 with per example NVFlash and then restore your saved backup with CWM there. But do not restore it while still being on ICS layout.
But restoring is possible:
- you are on CM7/10, make CWM backup, save backup to pc
- you flash this ROM with NVFlash, decide to go back to CM10 with NVFlash again and there you can flash your CWM backup you saved on your PC before.
New bootloader and layout are still very *new*, that's why there currently don't exist any ROMs you could flash with the CWM of this ROM. You can flash app packages and stuff but nor ROMs or ICS kernels not made for the new bootloader.

It's quite the same as original ICS, maybe a bit smoother. But it has CWM and is prepared to get my new kernel in a few days, then nothing will lag anymore
Thanks Stefan.
Two Quick questions. If I want to roll back to CM7 from this rom, can I a) simply reflash a CMW back of CM7 or b) NVflash a GB stock rom then CMW restore from CM7.
Is this rom any lighter on battery or any smoother in general than a CM7 rom?
Going to try it, just would like to know what I'm getting into before I do.
Is it possible to use CWM 6? Because in tonyp´s version you need 5.2,x
Thank you for providing this rom!
One (maybe stupid) question:
Does anyone know how lg will rollout the update? I can't imagine they will force every user to loose all data on internal sd...

This ROM still is missing a proper custom kernel - so for now there is room for smoothness improvement in my opinion. But everything is prepared for receival of custom kernel. Just a few days.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975274 -> with that you can go back directly to CM10 (and then flash CM7 if you want).
However, it is not possible to restore CWM backups with this ROM that have been made using a different partitioning layout. So you can only go back to GB or CM7 / 10 with per example NVFlash and then restore your saved backup with CWM there. But do not restore it while still being on ICS layout.
It's awesome to see another ICS stock ROM avaiable here, you are COOL Stefan.
Just a quick question while downloading:
are you aware the small problems from harsh and tonyp's work?
- BSOD, many ppl including me have experienced today.
- call voice problem after a while a using (harsh meant that he is working on it)
- slow charging (some ppl claims with USB it is very slow)
if yes, have you done anything with them?
THANKS again, you guys are really heros.
Sturmtruppler maybe they wil give a warning that you must backup your internal sd else you wil loose your stuff and that you must update

Hi,
First Question:
Does it pay to update O2x from V20s to ICS, in terms of stability and speed?
Second Question:
My O2x work with V20s and it's rooted. Now I want to update it to ICS but dont know how to check if update is availabe since I have root applied, do I have to do something like unroot or something else to check OTA or from LG tool. I dont want to lose data unless new version.
Thanks.

ICS is the latest and has its own pros and cons....it will become better and better for sure. But, the speed is good with newer UI interface. Battery consumption is a bit high now...just waiting for a custom Kernel and maybe it will do the trick.
All you need to do is, to connect your device to the LG update tool. It will update by itself provided your region has the update. But, it will erase all the user data.....try to back up your date with Titanium Backup (free version is available)pro or GO backup (free version also available). thats it.
But, remember if you have an update of ICS, it will be purely stock without root. You will have to root the device and so on.....but you can always flash the NVFlash version form TOPOGIGI and get the custom ROM and Kernel....
Hope this helps you mate
hi! i was in your position and i flashed the v30a europe open .kdz file folowing this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264289 and in my case i didn't lose app data( not 100% sure but most of them were there). Anyway i did a hard reset because i backed up what i needed and the apps i just re installed. Just to be sure back up what you need and maybe a nandroid backup in cwm so that you can restore afterwards if the process fail somehow(obviously revert to GB, root then restore ).Hope i made my self clear and for the record my battery life is better than GB ) .Good luck!
Hi all I am from India and I got this Mi3 phone a while back in august. Now i have never updated the phone and its in version MIUI-KXDMIBE16.0.
i am very satisfied with it and I have never wanted to update as of now. battery life is great. Not i've seen that the newer update provides more ram space and so on. I want to update to the new version. But problem is that If i dont like it I want to comeback to this (v16) version. i have looked online and no one seems to have the stock rom of the mi3 v16. If I update it means I can never come back to this rom only version 15 or version 18 is available on net.
So here are my questions
1. can i make a stock backup from my existing phone? If yes how? (I need to upload a copy to the forum also seen a couple of people asking for it)
2. if stock is not possible can i use any other recovery to backup this current rom and revert back to it? if yes how?
Use cwm recovery to backup and restore a nandroid backup.
stock?
