only getting partial flash with any updates??

hi all
i have an odd problem with my gt540 on vodafone uk.
i updated from 1.6 stock to 2.1 update 1 from lg via lgupdate. all official and proper, worked great, no issues.
i tried updating to baltic black, via kdz updater and windows enabler. all whats changed seems to be the boot animation,(animated lg logo with blue behind it straight to android logo, instead of static lg and vodafone boot screen) and vodafone browser gone, seems to just be called browser and have normal logo.
settings>about still says 2.1 update 1 by lg electronics. lost my apn settings and market access.
i rooted it via adb fine and had superuser and busybox installed. still no market access.
tried updating again to a custom rom with the better recovery and nothing changed. tried various roms via kdz and nothing changes. boot logo stays same, settings>about stays same and i have never been able to get fastboot on it.
i can get to download mode easily enough but never fastboot so cant install recovery and do a fresh install of vasquez, this is my plan.
any ideas, tips, anything?

You lost your settings because you flashed with different ROM from the vodafone one, you will get used to it call your service number and ask for the apn settings, they'll send them to you, you just have to confirm that you want them
And all the changes come from the fact that vodafone puts crappy stuff on their ROM's, what you have now is the clean android
You can read the other topics about how to flash "BlackSystem" by Quarx to get improvements of the android and later when the CyanogenMod is ready you can flash it too
if you want so bad your vodafone stuff i can find you the right .kdz file for the new 2.1 Vodafone ROM

[Q] Incompatible Handset Message AND UK ICS Download

Two questions in one thread and the first has been bugging me for sometime and i'm fed up of working around it;
First issue: When i switch on my Optimus 2X P990 i am greeted with the popup message saying 'incompatible handset' with two option of okay or cancel. If i click either of these or leave the message time out, I loose all signal and it will not come back unless i reboot the device. The way i am getting past this is upon the message popping up i press the back capacitive button.
This happens on every rom i have tried (MIUI, CM, Eagles Blood and stock roms)
Does anyone have any idea on how to stop this from happening? I have searched everywhere for answers and the closest i have come across is to update the sim tool set via lg suite. Unfortunately i cannot do this as every version of lg pc suite i have tried does not work properly on windows 7 (no support for 64 bit, WTF!!!). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Second request: Also does anyone know where i might obtain the latest UK unlocked baseband and stock ICS rom from as i cannot update the device via OTA at all.

Forgot to mention that the message box appears even when a sim card is not present in the device.

<bump>

Odp: [Q] Incompatible Handset Message AND UK ICS Download
look in dev section, there's bunch of stock ad stock - based roms. don't waste someone's time because you are too lazy to search.
problem with pop up is curious. Can you test it on pure cm10 with "factory state" (all things wiped and rim installed)

I'm not looking for just the rom but also advise on which baseband people believe to be the better so don't get on your f***ing high horse!
The issue with the popup message also happens with this rom and literally all i have tried prior and all stock ones i have tried. The closest i have come to seeing a resolve is to update the sim tools but this (as far as i can see from searching as this seems to be quite a small issue in terms of others experiencing it), needs to be done via LG suite which is not possible on my W7 64bit machine (advise i got directly from LG when complaining about it LG suite not installing).

[Q] Can't connect to mibile network or wifi cant make calls or send recieve texts

Ok Kinda long but want to cover everything:
So I rooted my htc one m8 (sprint) about 6 months ago I have twrp recovery and I flashed android revolution 8. A few months later I installed android revolution 11 no problems with it what so ever. A cpl days ago I tried to flash android revolution 22 but had no luck just kept boot looping and I lost everything on my phone after some research It seems I wouldnt be able to go to kit kat 4.4.4 without going back to stock rom so I relocked my bootloader ran rom utility updater and flashed it back to stock and reset up my phone tried to flash over to android revolution again after unlocking bootloader and all that good stuff still did not work so just decided to go back to stick 4.4.4 kept bootloader locked and didn't re root my phone didn't see much of a need to at this point could only seem to use stock but anyway after a day or so of phone running just fine well today it wont connect to my mobile network or wifi (can't make or receive phone calls can't send or receive texts and am unabke to get any internet on my phone wont even connect to wif) I have even restored the phone from original back-up that I had also tried 2 other back-ups of stock roms the phone is pretty much just an mp3 player at this point sprint said everything was fine on their end nothing they can do all the icons are there for 4g and wifi and such the phone shows me its connected to sprint shows signal strength and all that so I don't know whats wrong and don't think htc will help me since I rooted it hopefully some one here can i'm

well I must be screwed if over 300 views on my post and not reply well that's what I get I guess

As far as I know ARHD is not Sprint compatible so you probably messed up your partitions.
RUU will fix it.
Only flash roms that are in the Sprint section.

Apart from compatibility off ARHD to Sprint M8 ... There is also that dreaded HTC service pack that was released on 11th Dec which screwed the network n Wi-Fi on my phone (stock Rom)
First time itty happened due to auto update install via play store and started working after I did multiple attempts at cache delete through TWRP
2nd time even after researching and knowing the service pack was the culprit I thought I should try...ending up with factory reset...so do check it
If you too had that service pack installed
Btw even htc acknowledges the sh#@ this update is causing to the phones and wants to collect more data... I don't know if anything else can be called a legit rip off or not...

I used ruu after I tried to flash it and messed everything up and everything worked fine after a cpl days of it working is when it started to have the networking issues I used ruu several times after and it didn't work still is there a different version I need?

[Q] Rom Load but is basically unusable then it reboots.

Hi Guys. I have searched the forum but havent found anything that applies to my problem. I have the HTC One M7 sprint version. I have been trying to sim unlock it but the phone came on an android version higher than 4.3. This is one of a batch of 4 so at this point I cant even remember the original os. My problem is that I need to be on an android os lower than 4.3 to unlock. I have been following the tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2586704 .Only roms at kitkat or higher are stable enough to use and not even all the kitkat ones are stable.
The issue:
The phone boots and the rom loads but I am unable to do anything with it. The lockscreen shows as normal but anytime I unlock the screen I get a white screen with HTC in green letters. On some roms I am able to access the settings menu but that is it. It just stays like that forever. On some roms it will stay on but most reboot in roughly 2-3 minutes. Most of the roms that are stable go into a handsfree activation loop where I cant get past that screen. I read a tutorial about deleting the htc setup apk but that works only some of the time and then the roms are mostly unstable.
My phone is S-Off and I have attempted to downgrade to stock 4.1.2 using the official ruu.. The process was successful but the stock os is unstable. Reboots every 2-3 minutes. I have flashed the firmware separately and then run the ruu. I have run the ruu on its own. I have done factory reset with both stock and custom recoveries after running the ruu.
I have tried pretty much every sprint rom I have come across and still no love. I've been at this for nearly a month and my HTC Rom folder is about 25gb if a list is needed I am willing to provide it but I really just want to be on stock 4.1.2 or a sense rom lower than 4.3 for the purpose of unlocking the gsm sim. I have been told that the issue could be hardware but then I have roms that run without issues except that the phone isnt unlockable in that state.

Need assistance - SM-G900A stuck at Samsung logo after stock rom flash

Hey all,
Looking for some assistance here. I apologize in advance for not having specifics on everything, but it's been a couple years since I've needed to do anything with this phone (SM-G900A). I picked it up used a couple years ago and shortly after, I did a NOX unlock and rooted the phone for two reasons - using Titanium Backup and to unlock the WiFi hot spot. I recently noticed that something had happened and my root access wasn't working correctly- guessing from one of the OTA updates that was attempting to occur on my phone. I say attempt, because I don't believe they ever successfully installed since they always seemed to error out. I'm currently on StraightTalk, not an AT&T customer. Something weird was up with it though, because I could never uninstall the Xposed Framework or app, yet Pokémon Go was recognizing it was rooted and blocking my access. I should also mention that I had towelroot running on the phone and it's showing the custom unlocked padlock on startup.
Fast forward to last night- I wanted to return it back to the stock ROM so I did my research, found a couple different tutorials that included the correct ROMs and applied one - G900AUCU1ANCE_G900AATT1ANCE_ATT.zip. After flashing, the phone will not boot and freezes halfway through the swirls around the Samsung logo, then goes blank. The blue notification light also stays lit on the phone.
Thinking it was most likely bootloader related, I found another ROM that included separate AP, BL, CSC files. I attempted to flash the bootloader, which failed and I got the following error on the phone - SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 2 > Binary 1
At any rate, it seems like my boot loader somehow got corrupted or isn't compatible with this ROM, but I was hoping some of you experts out there could provide some answers. At this point my phone is dead, so I'm hoping I can get it restored very soon.
Thanks in advance guys!

The issue identified in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/help/g900a-stuck-samsung-logo-black-screen-d-t3050369) seems very similar to mine as well as what's described on this website- http://www.galaxys5update.com/fix-black-screen-with-pulsating-blue-led-on-galaxy-s5-g900a/
I'm seeing the pulsing blue light as well. How do I find the 4.4.4 OA1 Kernel identified in the first link?
