Mind at least telling us what the heck you did before this happened?
It would REALLY help us in diagonising your problem, you know.
heh i suppose it would wouldnt it!
I installed the battery icon mod..

How did you try odin? I think that should have done the job.

Have you downloaded an official ROM?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
not yet, im not sure where to get it from! lol
i only had the phone like a month or 2, and i broke it but got it replaced under the warrenty lol
so where can i get a offical rom from?
There are lot of ROMs on samfirmware.com and guides on how to flash them. You need an account though.
Have you even flashed a ROM before?

thanks muchly, i will check back soon when i have attempted to flash it!

BTW, you could also check Doc's ROM if you want to use custom rom. I personally use it and its great. It has also some good guides compiled on the first post. I strongly suggest you read the Doc-Froyo.pdf guide in that thread.
Good luck!

Hey guys,
Out of nowhere 3g data has stopped working..the icons in the statusbar change but i can't use it in any way.
Any ideas why?

Try checking your access point.
If you have multiple access point, make sure the right one is selected.
I only have one access point to choose from..
And still not working
Thanks anyway

Well... on the worst scenario, you could root your phone, install Rom manager, and flash a custom ROM like Nova v8 to see if it works. Then, if it works, you can flash again to Lg stock ROM and remove both superuser and Rom manager. This process is not my responsibility and will delete all your data first, so please back it up before proceeding. This has, however, worked for me pretty well.

i already had my phone rooted.
I just remembered that i had made a backup of the rom a couple of weeks ago. Restored it and everything is fine again.
Thank you!
Glad to hear that, flashing ROMS also fixed my problems in the past xD

After rooting my phone and after using it fire about a week something weird happened to my phone, on Sunday the phone restart it itself and when it booted up the phone was stock on the Samsung screen after the metro pcs boot animation. I took out the battery several times but to no avail. It was dead. I finally took it to metro yesterday and they have me a brand new one. I'm more sure if i will root it again though.

I don't know what could have happened to the phone. Its weird because it just got stuck.

Setting phones on fire usually kills them.
Did you try CPR on it? Check if it still has a heart beat.

I am generally new (noob) if you will to dev for androids. I am rooted, over clocked, add free and other thing but what I haven't tried yet is getting new roms, kernels, etc. I would like to learn these functions so I can upgrade my phone. Does anyone have and material, websites, etc. on flashing or installing different roms that I.can look over to learn about the process and how to do it exactly? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I can't imagine how your over clocked if u haven't flashed a different kernel. Anyways look around the general section, you may have to dig alittle but all the info your looking for is here.

You can use stock kernel and overclock at the same time.
I finally tried it last night but I.got stuck in a loop I believe.. I tried flashing thriller.. lucky I installed cwm recovery and had backed up my last phone. When I flash a.new Rom do I have to return the phone to factory settings? The tutorial I was using was for the old version on cwm recovery and didn't translate to the new one so I basically had to make an educated guess.
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda app-developers app
This is exactly what I did. I installed cwm recovery. I.backed up my phone. I downloaded the thriller zip. Connected my.phone to computer and cut and pasted the thriller zip folder onto my SD card. I booted in cwm recovery. And clicked install from SD I found the thriller Rom and downloaded it. Once it was done I clicked re booted normally and when I did this it only showed a bunch of colors coming.g together into and x and did that for 10 minutes until I booted into cwm recovery again and restored from my latest back up. Anything I did wrong or didn't do? Any help would be appreciated.

Not quite sure what your asking but yes if i was you when you flash a knew rom do three wipes, factory,cache,davik. if you dont it could cause boot issues.

Extremely unnecessary wipes.
Factory reset does these three things.
Wipes /data
Wipes /cache
Wiping dalvik-cache is useless in a factory reset as "dalvik-cache" is stored in "/data".
OK so from your experience am I doing it right except for the factory wipe? Or are the wipes unnecessary? Thanks for the print responses too!
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda app-developers app
Its important to know what version software your running. I believe the thriller rom only works on android software version 2.2 aka froyo. If your phone is running 2.3 gingerbread that would be the reason why the rom didn't work. Check in settings>aboutthisphone>androidversion to see which software you've got. I'm relatively new to all this also but I hope I helped

I'd suggest always doing a wipe when going from ROM to ROM.
This is how I do my wipes.
NANDROID current ROM
Flash new ROM
If I even see one force close, I factory reset.
@lestat.. but when I do wipe it.. doesn't it wipe the SD card too? Like when I hit factory settings does it clear SD as well?

I'm not sure on that as I always use ClockworkMod to factory reset.
It doesn't touch your SDcard.

You'll have to try the ROMs for yourself. I can't say for myself as a dev.
I personally like thrill seeker. The original developer had to give up on it because he's been busy, but another dev (Bdadd34) has picked it up and is continuing to work on it. I like it because its stable and very simple to flash and I don't have to flash to a different baseband (which I've never tried). Also from reading on here for a while I know lestat's acidhazard rom is a favorite among most not only for the thrill here in the US, but also for a lot O3D users. His is a rom kitchen so you pretty much build the rom with features you want. its still a little over my head but lestat has a great reputation on here for being super helpful. I'm sure he'd explain it much better or just check out his website which I'm sure a link is in the post for his rom.

I'm using Dark's acidhazard rom with acura's beast 1.3 extreme low voltage kernel. I have no complaints and the support from dark is incredible. I'm on v20p too and I haven't experienced any ghost calls yet. *knocks on wood* I would definitely recommend acid hazard..

I heard from a thread that using rom manager bricks this phone if you have a partitition and I'd bought the premium version before partitioning my sd card, just want to ask, is this true?

Go on CWM, its healthier for our Ace!
It has nothing to do with having a partition or not.
It bricks the phone anyways. Better remove that app, its dangerous if you don't know what functions of it can be used safely.
Oh, so the whole thing bricks it? Why is that, also I am using cwm anyways

Mostly the motherboard i think, people reported that they had to get new a motherboard installed in order to unbrick it.
Hmm, that's confused me, I thought it would have broke it system wise. I know how to flash, root, etc, but I'm not exactly sure how they all work, but I thought that flashing just overwrit the system+os. So two questions, when you root/flash does that interact with the hardware in anyway and how?

Try flashing CWM from rom manager and you will see if and how it interacts
P.S Its a joke, don't actually try that.

Rom manager ... flashes new recovery ... with wrong mounting points ... making your phone useless it will be like having the light switch of your kitchen in your bed room and your bed room light switch on your attic ... know what i mean? Nothing will work !! Since the phone will change the mp to points that dont exist on your phone.
Just flash cwm from stock recovery or from odin and you'll be ok
