Just got a new LG phone, previously I owned an LG Optimus X2 (P999) but it ain't supported by my new telecommunications provider as they use different HSPA network.
In any event. I want to Root my LG Optimus BLACK (P970G) from Koodo Mobile.
Model: LG-P970g
OS: 2.3.4
Baseband: XMM6160
Kernel: 2.6.35

You can follow this tutorial:

By flashing one of these patched ROMs with the SmartFlashTool, CWM is alredy included.

How can i fix this problem ?? can anyone help me with this ???
On his back,under batery, it says that it was made in Korea.
You need to downgrade your baseband.
Follow this guide http://android.modaco.com/topic/335...aseband-release-103521-20110725-v20l-version/
and use this baseband http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?url=mf/?pb62vt254c44n1w
can you tell me why? also ive just started using CM7 (version .87 by temasek) i used a LITE kernel and still using the default (RIL)(baseband) that came with my fone. ( 1035.21_20110725 ) can u tell me. is there better one matched or unmathed that would give me better battery..
Hi MIFFO858 ,I tried what you said but still doesn't let me upgrading to gingerbread,what else can i do to fix this problem ?!!!!
LG updater is crap, so you should flash v20q with smartflash or v20r kdz or v20r cwm rebuild by Flix123. Btw v20l is 2.3.4.

So I have an OB in front of me (wives) and I'm curious about the next step.
She had an LGP500 before this and I remember having to update the baseband from v10 to v20 for cm7 to work properly.
Is the OB the same, in that I need to manually flash a v20 baseband over the stock v10a one? (its on froyo)
Would updating via B2C change the baseband for me/upgrade to GB?

You will install Kies on your PC before, And put your Tab connect to USB. Well you can update via Kies.
sorry for my bad English
Good luck
hi there are no updates available thinking of rooting it but have no idea how and if i can do it with my tab i want version 2.3 or later
makes restock rom, recommend the "GB_Stock_Safe_v5" from overcome
and download your latest version (same region) from sammobile.com then flash it
Maybe you must to un-root your tab but I'm not sure that make you can update.
Warning all your data will be lost.

Yes there are plenty of ways to update your device.
You can simply install Samsung Kies, connect your tab and update to official gingerbread (2.3) or you can install a custom GB rom (Overcome Rom).
You can also choose to install ICS (4.0) or JB (4.1), various flavors like AOKP, CM9, CM10 etc.
To get started on custom GB or any other custom rom you should first root/stock your device using the Overcome guide/rom. The original thread is Here but the links are down so you should get the guide and safe-restock/rom files from the mirrors here.
Everything you need to do is included in the guide. Once you have installed Overcome rom you will be rooted and have a custom rom/kernel, from there if y0ou want to go up to ICS etc you simply put the rom on your sdcard, boot into recovery and flash the desired rom.
For me better upgrde to overcome rom..its more stable and have native 3g call..

Hi! My question is how does one install clean v30a stock(no root-absolutely stock :cyclops: ). At the moment i'm using the europe open version which i installed from the .kdz file with lg tool and it is to my understanding that lg tool keeps user data when updating the device. I wish to do ,as clean as i can, a fresh install. Thank you in advance!
Official updater tool should work, otherwose nvflash to 10b and use updater

extract .bin and .fls files from the .kdz (with p990 tool kit) and flash them via smart flash...it will be completly stock an no root no other stuff just the stock...it will delete all your data...everything exept the external SD:laugh:
@majoortje: well since i'm from romania i can't update my phone to v30a in an official manner because the latest version available from my country is v20s so i don;t think it will do much good reverting to GB rom.
@ilooze: that might do the trick will try thanks!
I'm from Romania too ) this how I updated my phone to v30a too but now I'm using cyanogenmod 10 .....Spor
At some point i`ll try that too thanks for your reply mersi mult
