Hello there, I'm kind of new in android world and don't know yet what to do right.
Yesterday I updated my LG Optimus Black to android 2.3.4 (previously from android 2.2.2 if i'm not wrong) and in the beginning everything was fine, until a realized that it had a problem with the front camera (colors diferent from reality), problems sending sms (keyboards fails sometimes) and sending mms (i can't send some pictures and before updated my phone i can do it....).
I don't know what to do, one friend told me to check this forum to see ROMs to install, but i don't know if i wanna install a ROM or downgrade (if its possible) to android 2.2.
Someone can give me an opinion and explain me how to do this of installing ROMs or trying to downgrade the version?
Read my signature OR try a factory reset and everything should be fine.

I've discover how to do factory reset and i've already do it and continues with android 2.3.4
It isn't a way to return to android 2.2?
Look into my noob how to, grab a v10a or any other, you had previously on your phone, take LG extract tool, extract bin and fls files, inject CWM if you wanna root, if not, leave it, flash with smartflash, perform a factory reset and you should be able to enjoy your phone again

I've downloaded LG extract tool and v10a, and i've tried to extract the file but it gives me a error
and i've give up...
But then i've found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692191
and i don't know if it is the same and how to run cwm, i've searched for everywhere and it says me that i have to press - volume and home but didn't work for me... and then in another website says me that i have to install
sorry i'm a really noob on this thing :x
In my personal experience stock 2.3 is better than 2.2 and they both suck, what i would do in your case is to flash a rooted stock and then flash a new rom, there are a couple great in this forums, if you're too scared to do that just factory reset your phone, i'm sure it will fix your posted issues, to do this press menu soft key > settings > Privacy > factory reset, i must warn you, this will make you lose all your info so save contacts to a google account or something and save all your data not stored in micro SD.
About your last post you can't run CMW cause you don't have it

Hey guys,
I'm fairly new to the modding of Android phones (my previous phone was a TYTN II) and I'm having some problems restoring my backups via Clockwork mod (which is a bit of a pain in the ass for me, as I think you understand).
Ive tried to flash my phone and stuff, but I can't download apps from market/start google talk (I know this is related to eachother) when I have a mdc rom installed. This is not really the problem I'm asking a solution for, but the real problem is, that I can't go back to my old rom and stuff. I have rooted my phone, installed CWM, made a backup, but somehow it keeps freezing at the loading screen of the phone whenever I have restored a backup and reboot the phone.
Atm I have resetted my phone with NVFlash, I have not yet innstalled anything but I still have a backup which I'd like to restore. This is my situation:
LG-P990: Android 2.2.2, Baseband 1035.21_20110315 (I updated this with Paul's update), Kernel 2.6.32.9, Build: FRG83G, LGE version: v10b.
Anyone has an idea what I'm doing wrong? Did I miss a step in the process? Please help me out!
I'm no expert, so you should probably wait for one of them, but I had a similar problem and it's important to do a wipe before installing the ROM. (There's two wipe options, run them both)

please check if the DATE in your settings is correct. the rom I had previously installed was set to MAY and this made it impossible to use gtalk and download roms.
yeah sounds silly, but worth checking
ah well since you have reset already. but maybe you get back in the same situation at one time.
Thanks for the quick replies.
@Marco_ch: I already tried the date problem, literally went thru 100 of pages to find out what the issue was with the gtalk, but nothing helped, so I'm guessing I made a mistake with the rooting or something...
I already reset, but this is the third time I've reset, I've already tried flashing my device 3 times and each time I end up not being able download apps.
@Jakkelomme: As far as I know there is only 1 wipe option? Reset factory settings? I always do that before I install a rom yes.
well I had the same problem (gtalk, market) but I gave it another shot with this:
http://romkitchen.org/lg/?s=generator
its running brilliantly on my device. have you tried that one yet?
Tried it a few days ago, when it was anotehr version, might try it again now, thanks. Which options do you suggest (I'm not that much of an expert )
Edit: Though i wish someone had a solution for me not being able to restore via CWM!
oh you dont want suggestions from me - I have that device for a couple of days only and dont even know how to properly make a backup
but I chose the following:
EXT 4
Pauls Kernel
Left out all the LG Stuff as I find it kinda useless and laggy
good luck!

Did everything you asked, installed new version of Romkitchen with the stuff you suggested... Still doesnt download appss. Still stuck at "Starting download...". Help, anyone?
Nevermind guys, I fixed it. Turned out the problem WAS with date & time. My provider made the date 12/05/'11 instead of 12/04/'11. It was why I couldnt download from the market. Thank you all for helping out anyway

You can flash one of the one click odin without BOOTLOader from this thread ...........
boot into recovery...wipe data/factory reset
that will remove all user data, all accounts on the phone, all user apps, just like you fresh flashed the rom....

Yup, just factory reset from recovery and boot up.
no accounts, no user apps. Just the system ones. Nice and clean
Hi all.
Really sorry cos I'm sure the answer's around here somewhere, but not sure where to look.
Problem is, I had my 2.3.5 rooted and all was ok. I then had a problem a while back with Titanium (paid) backup that said that I wasn't rooted.
I've tried re-rooting and that didn't work, so now I've done a factory reset, cleared the dalvik cache.
CWM is still installed but nothing works on there. Can't install busybox.
Just want to take it all back to fresh and root the phone with the fastest ROM possible.
Like I say, I've looked all over here and various forums but can't find an answer to my specific problem(s).
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks

use this link to get a JVU based rom on your SGS.. it'll be rooted with CWM recovery and stuff.. after that you can choose to flash any rom on your SGS.. just follow the instructions in the op of the rom you choose..
Thanks Ishangoyal..
Just to reiterate, I can just install this on top of the phone as it is not and it'll work?
I would highly recommend this tutorial instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379650
It allows you to upgrade to ICS.
You're a diamond - it's done! saved my phone from being stamped on! ;-)
download super user from market.
Hi Guys! I have a Galaxy S1 (I-9000). I've used a custom ICS rom until yesterday, but it was slow, and drained my battery very quick. So I XXJW4 (as far as I know this is the latest official release with value pack), but there are wierd issues (very quick battery draining, wifi disconnecting, doesn't remember my mobile network settings, sluggish browser, etc).
I did the usual stuff like cleaning cache/dalvik/factory reset. Usually I like hacking around with theese things, but now I just want to use my phone, so I would like to restore it to a "very" official state. I'm not sure about the technical details, but afaik some of the update packages are not completely reinstall everything. So what is the correct way to clean my phone so it would look like a brand new one like it has never been modded?
I think I need to repartition. Even if I don't want to change the file systems I would prefer to have a fresh start so no previous data could remain. After that I would need a firmware that contains everything (kernel, bootloader (?), modem, dbdata, factory file system, etc etc) I've already found a lot of roms out there, but I'm not certain witch one will do the job. After I installed the value pack update I realized that dbdata was not part of that package, and I had to find one after googling for a while. So I'd really appreciate some pointers
So that's my story, to sum up the question is how to restore a galaxy s to an older version my making sure everything is completely wiped, overwriten, reinstalled, etc.
Thanks in advance.
go to sammobile dot com webpage and search what firmware you need and download. Flash this rom with odin.
Use Odin to flash the.rom that you like
why dun try ICS infinitum by bhu1...amazing,,...
It is not true. In the past i flashed with odin and it did not even remove all of the apps i had installed with 2.2 ...

Okay, let us be more specific:
- format /sdcard
- format /system
- wide data/factory reset
- flash with odin
Nothing and I mean nothing will be left on your phone. That process formats everything you need to in order to wipe your phone.
Good luck!
Read this https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum/threads/samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000-flashing-to-original-rom.46/
Value pack made my phone weird to.
just download some original Rom and flash via odin that will work
My phone is previously running v10e ICS
I accidentally forgot to unlock bootloader, then forward to install recovery and factory wiped + cleared every other things(aka pristine).
Then when I'm attempting to install rom, you know what happens...
So now, how can I go back to the state where I at least have stock back?
Then I can retry.
Please teach me! No need to simplify words, I can take'em.

I'm not sure why you felt the need to open another new thread when you already have one open in which this was being discussed. I guess this is what you get for not following instructions when you ask for help. I specifically told you that you would need to reflash v10e first - that wasn't for fun, it was to make sure that you have a stable, known-working platform to start from.
