Did a search through the LG Thrill threads, didn't find anything pertaining to this. However, if this has indeed been discussed, by all means delete this thread and link me to the other one.
My Thrill doesn't seem to like any ROMS I throw at it.
Mokee OS v1.0 - Causes an infinite boot loop. Doesn't reboot, just restarts the boot screen over and over. Seemingly, after installing this ROM, my 3D Camera in the back no longer works, even after restoring everything. Front camera works though.
Thrill Seeker 2.1 - Constantly reboots the LG pre-boot screen.
Lewa ROM Ported 1.0 - Same as Mokee OS v.1.0.
Thriller v1.1.0 - The only ROM that gets me to my home screen, however when the Media Reader activates, it reboots.
AcidHazardROM 4 - Reboots after the boot screen, right when it seems it is going to show the home screen.
CyanogenMod 7.2+ v1.4 Pudding Edition - Reboots after the LG Pre-Boot screen.
I had no problems changing ROMs on my Motorola Droid 1, HTC Droid Eris and HTC Evo 4G. Even had no issues installing ROMs for my friends on their various phones. Just seems I can't get the Thrill to cooperate. :/
I'm leery of installing P920 O3D ROMs and I know, they are the same phones, but it is just a quirk of mine.
Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Stock ROM (Obviously.)
CWMR 5.8.1.5 Touch.
All ROMs were applied after a data/dalvik/cache clearing.
Rooted.
Android 2.3.5.
If you guys needs any more information, feel free to ask.
I just want to be able to change out ROMs, the stock ROM is ridiculously slow, even though it's on a dualcore. :/
P.s. I'm not giving up on the Thrill, loving this phone.

Mokee and lewa are both cyanogen ports and 3d doesn't work tho some people say it does I haven't had any luck as for other rooms did you try a factory reset before and after you flashed then boot the phone it should work and thriller is a froyo (2.2.2) rom it won't work on gingerbread (2.3.5)

I know the 3D and HDMI doesn't work. But upon installing Mokee, it caused the camera to just not work at all. I can't take pictures in 2D or 3D mode. If I go through the 3D Camera App, Camera App or 3D video app, it doesn't work. I can see what the camera see, however upon taking a picture, camera app FC's and then reboots the phone.
I always do a Factory Data/Dalvik/Cache and User Data reset.
You said in your post that Thriller is the ONLY ROM that boots into the OS, but FC/Crashes when the media scanner starts. That right there alone tells me you're running from a base of the V10D/V10K. Your kernel is Froyo 2.2.2, and you're loading ROMs on top of that which require a Gingerbread 2.3.X base, this is why you cannot complete a boot.
Before you flash ANY custom ROM, ensure you're following the detailed directions for that ROM explicitly to the T. I had trouble too when I was flashing around between versions. I ended up flashing my phone almost 20 times in 72 hours.
Here's a helpful tip: Between flashing different ROMs, be sure to flash the base stock ROM for whatever custom ROM you're doing.
E.G. these are the recommended base ROM/radio
AcidHazard Kitchen 4: Base stock ROM will be V21A or V21D (depending on the radio baseband you want), or V20P if you have problems with wifi or cellular service
Thriller: V10D (this is the US AT&T Stock Froyo ROM)
Mokee: V20P (this is the US AT&T Stock Gingerbread ROM)
CyanogenMod: V20P or V21A/D
From the P920 Optimus 3D forums, Prometheus Project v1.4: V21E
=====
TL;DR: Always check which baseband they run on, and make sure that you flash a FRESH copy of a STOCK ROM that carries that baseband (this is easy the ROMs are listed by the baseband), root, install recovery, wipe, install your Custom ROM.
If you skip ANY of these steps, you WILL run into problems, no questions. Flashing back to STOCK wipes EVERYTHING that the last Custom ROM did to your phone (see note #1), so make sure you do this EVERY TIME. It'll make your life a LOT easier.
Note #1: There are tweaks that Thrill custom ROMs make to /boot and a couple other places that another custom ROM may not overwrite automatically, so you end up blending a lot of little tweaks that don't play well together and can cause weird issues. Your boot issues are because you're loading into the OS from /boot which is loading your Froyo 2.2 kernel, and then trying to load into the / and /system with the wrong kernel version, causing you to go into boot loop.
thriller rom not working
i have an lg thrill 4g and i intalled the thriller rom and now i cant get service. i cant get into call seeting and i cant get into apns and networks. help please?
@cynagen +1 i think you are right about him running froyo radio...however it has been my experience that you are better running the baseband from the stock gingerbread from your region and carrier and flashing any custom rom that is gingerbread and just make sure the kernel version is right for you. Do this by checking phone settings when you load stock ginger and look at kernel to see if it ends with a + or not.
then use custom kernels based on that knowledge. I know that is not the conventional wisdom but hsa been my experience on two different at&t worldwide phones. A dev for my other phone the atrix 4g came up with a universel kernel that worked on all basebands and roms of the same system. Also if you format system between rom flashes and full wipe you shouldnt need to flash stock between....should save flashaholics a little time lol

Yes, you're 100 percent right. If he's going to be sticking with AT&T, then he's better off going with V20P and using something like the AcidHazard Kitchen 4 with the Beast or stock kernels since the baseband has all the radio programming that's needed to maintain a connection with AT&T. I WILL advise that if you're unlocking your phone for T-Mo or world, DO NOT continue to use V20P as you will be severely limited in speed and functionality, you will want to flash in V21A/D in order to make it match it's new "worldphone" status, but you will NEED to install a kernel built on that baseband or a baseband-independent kernel (see V21 baseband/kernels). Stateside primarily, hardly any roaming, V20P will suit you fine.
Also, fun note, any of the ROMs running V21x are okay to use any other V21x baseband, the V20 kernels and V10 kernels appear to be locked to match, this is why AcidHazard is built on V21D but recommends using the V21A baseband, for greater US carrier compatibility.

So yeah, that part checks out.
As for changing carriers, I won't be. Sprint screwed me over big time and Verizon did too. T-Mobile is spotty at best.
So, I'm not on V10D/V10K or FroYo.

Alright, follow my directions, and while Bdadd34 is correct, doing all wipes SHOULD prevent bugs, it's been my experience that it has not prevented bugs, hence why I recommended the long way when you're going from ROM to ROM.
If you've already got a freshly flashed, rooted, recovery-installed V20P, copy your new ROM to internal memory, wipe data/cache/dalvik/system (YES SYSTEM), and then use Recovery to perform a full nandroid restore of the ROM you wish to go with. If you're going to AcidHazard, build it, and then flash the ROM first, then reboot and flash the Beast kernel if you're going to overclock, otherwise use stock V20P. All other ROMs come with prebuilt/tweaked kernels for whatever baseband they were built for, and you won't need to flash anything else.
I hope this all helps, and if all else fails, go the complete long route again... Stock V20P, Root, Recovery, wipe, Custom ROM.
@spinks420: Find out what version of Android you're running, 2.2 or 2.3, and what is your baseband version (software version V##x), this will help us figure out what you're working with so we can advise you better, or just follow these same instructions here, the entire 1 hour process.
@ anyone having problems and want help.. Download getril from google play and upload screen shot if possible. It will help tell us what you are really running as all settings show froyo baseband..

Thriller is a froyo rom. If you upgraded to gingerbread this rom wont work. We need info on your true baseband. download getril from go play if your not sure and post a screen shot like the one in my previous post.

Promethius uses any GB radio, it's kernel is V21E so it'll take any GB radio V20P to V21E. V20 based ROMs will have problems with a newer V21 baseband.
I'm using V21E baseband, and I get fantastic service with T-Mobile minus the random disconnect causing the ROM to flip out and take forever to reconnect data (it still shows HSPA, but transmits from my phone seem to go ignored until I cycle the data), and because I take the lightrail (electric train like San Diego's trollies but on the ground), I have the electrical noise of the train plus the overpasses that the train goes under dropping my connection if I don't have something already running. Resyncs to towers takes a bit, but that's normal for T-Mo out here (I had them back when they launched "3G" (really 2.5G GPRS EDGE) and had the same problem).
My RIL doesn't match.
Could that be the reason why my phone is being retarded?
Which RIL should I flash?
I don't see a P925 RIL.
Or should I do it manually through CWMR? (Mind you I have only ever flashed whole ROM's, never just flashed a single component of a ROM. Like an alternative kernel, etc. etc.)
@cmarriner you should be OK. That is my set up and it work great for me on att. If you want to match you have to LG flash v21e kdz I don't think you want to install different ril.

I read your first post again...have you tried re installing recovery. I won't use touch because if you have any problems and have to remove back of phone to pull battery or sdcard you can accidentilly touch things you shouldn't. Also double touches can screw you if your not care. I would use rom man and flash O3D recovery... worth a shot...also you shouldn't be getting H+ when on a v21e rom should be just H ?

The H+ icon blinks green when connected so I figured it was HSPA+. Under "Mobile NEtwork Type" in the Status menu it says "HSPA". So yeah. I'm not too sure how to look into it further. :/
Hello
I have bought lg optimus 2x a few days back.
I updated it immdtly via lg official update.
now i have 2.3 version with sw version of v20i
My kernel shows 327 version.
i have some issues.My phn is korean made.
I have problems with call quality.sometimes i cant hear and sometimes others cant hear me properly.
Sometimes phn gets freezed during call.sometimes freezes without any reason.Removing battery only makes it okay.
Also battery life is poor.
I have gone thru xda and came to knw many things.But i m confused seeing so many roms so many kernels so many basebands.
Can any1 suggest me how to get started?>

First thing is im still on stock rom.I havent changed any rom or baseband or ril in my o2x.Still i have a wrong combination of baseband and ril?i mean doesnt lg provide the best matched baseband and ril in their latest update?
2nd thing...my baseband is shown 327 in my o2x.I didnt find 327 named baseband in the link u provided.(P990 Complete Baseband Overview Thread)
Thats why im confused.
Also would like to know changing baseband and ril would void wrnty?

The basebands extracted from the su600(or is 660) are by respected developers to give better soundquality by removing noise in the background. You'd have to flash it then....

Try a different BB again and also a different RIL. I have this problem sometimes when changing the RIL.

thanks for your reply I tried baseband 725, 313, 521, my team is rooteado, I installed cm7 kang, the team still does not work even with the 218 ril ROM brings the truth that this is not happening, the flashing the baseband successfully and still says I have no service, I'm thinking a hardware problem
Try to flash via nvflash and after that to play around with the RIL and Baseband. It may work
Though I'm not a LG optimus P990h user still I would like to share something about this problem. I'm a Samsung Galaxy S 2 user & just about a month ago I faced same problem. I do all possible things to make it normal(try different sim, hard reset, flash different rom) but no luck. After that I visited upto 3different service center n after a details checking all of them told me the same reason that my motherboard 2 chipset got damaged.
Now how you will know if this is a hardware problem.
Now goto settings > about phone > baseband version - Does it shown unknown.?
Press *#06# is ur 16 digit IMEI no is blank.?
If both answer is yes, then this is definitely a hardware problem.

Hi,
I am from India and a newbie to Android world.
I have a LG stock ROM(optimus 2x p990 Gingerbread). The factory version of the ROM is LGP990AT-00-V20e-ESA-XXX-OCT-28-2011.
The baseband is 1035.21_20110725
After taking a backup of image of Stock ROM with CWM,I have installed Gueste 2x v3.6 Hybrid Revolution, with symbiosis kernel.I have found it to be stable with good GUI
I have observed a heavy battery drain, with RIL v10d(Europe)
I am planning to flash 218 baseband as suggested by stefan.
But before doing so, I want to clear my doubts and have few requests
1) what are the best settings for a good battery life? I am switching to 2g networks when not surfing/downloading.
I am also using lots of apps, for my kid, who uses my mobile for a hour or so.
2)In case I need to go to Stock LG ROM, where can I get the original baseband, as I do not find it it anywhere, so as to to restore the CWM backup.
3) Stefan- Your ROM is wonderful. I have got few requests.Can you please port the stock LG Messaging app, Contacts app & "Backup & Restore" app .
Thanks
I am also from India.
I am using 0725 Baseband with v20d(Asia) RIL.
I dont have any battery problems whatsoever on this baseband and RIL combo. I get a straight 1 and half day on moderate usage (Few call and texting, 2g browsing for an hour or so, some music listening)
Battery drain wont be always due to baseband. It may also depend on some of the Apps you use which run in background.
Check the battery usage from the settings and see which program is using most of your battery.
Press "THANKS" if this helped.
Use the search function instead of starting a new thread. Please close this one.
Thanks Shane582.
I am sure that the battery drain was due to wrong bb (725) and RIL(v10d Europe).
As I am unable to get the LGP990AT-00-V20e-ESA-XXX-OCT-28 version of KDZ, I had posted the mail here, hoping that some one may help me.
Anyway this is not required now.
Also since this was my first post, I couldn't thank Stefan for his superb ROM( Gueste 2x v3.6 Hybrid Revolution )
found at the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1464986
Also I do a search properly, hoping to find a solution. Hence till date for the past one month, I was able to flash CWM, 5 different ROMs and come to a satisfactory solution for the issues faced.
Excepting for some rookies, I found the forum quite helpful, for sorting out all kinds of problems
Thanks everyone.
how to unroot and restore
Hi,
I am from India and a newbie to Android world.
I have a LG stock ROM(optimus 2x p990 ) rooted and running on cm9 NOVA HD ICS i want to unroot and restore stock gingerbread, how to i do it ???
MY BACK IS NOT WORKING DONT KNOW HOW.
WAITING FOR SOLUTION ...
THANKS
Hello all,
I have a LG P999 (Optimus 2X) running on WIND that will not connect to the network. it was attempted to upgrade from Ice Cream Sandwich to Jelly Bean but was not successful. it was then tried to restore the device twice and here it is.
The current specs are:
- Android 2.2.2
- Baseband version – Unknown
- Kernal version – 2.6.32.9
- Build number – FRG83G
- Software version – LG-P999-AWC-V11h
The phone is a GSM device running on 1700 frequency on Wind Mobile in Canada.
Does anyone have suggestions/recommendations on how i should restore this device ? Where can we get the latest stock firmware and what program should we use to flash it with?
Thanks in advance,
1. WIND never updated the P999 beyond Froyo, sadly. There aren't going to be any ICS/JB updates
2. Use LG's own tool to restore back to stock Froyo.
3. If you want any custom ROMs that allow the phone part of the phone to work, it's GB or a hackfest ICS/JB. Official CM10 with hardware acceleration has been shown to work perfectly except the phone radio won't work and so it becomes useless as a phone...
You will find vastly more support at the G2X forums, http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1114. Although Wind and Videotron brand the P999 as an Optimus 2X, hardware wise it is really the same as the American G2X.

Just to clarify, are you having a problem with your phone, i.e. is it bricked or supper buggy right now? If your phone is working fine and dandy, then there is no official "latest software" on the WIND version of the P999. To go beyond Froyo you will need a custom ROM (which works far better than stock anyways).

LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL
The phone turns on and you can get to its desktop with the apps and so on however it is not working correctly, it does not connect to the wind network or anything like that. It was flashed/updated with some other firmware and now it does not work properly so I'm trying to fix it for somebody.
Thanks

Yeah you can use that tool.
Alternatively, try rooting then using GetRIL.

I'll give the tool a try as I have never done rooting so would not even know where to start. The tool seems the easiest if it will work.
