Whats best? - LG Optimus 2x

Hi,
I have just bought a 2nd hand Optimus 2x. It came with Android 2.2.2 installed so I ran the mobile support tool to upgrade to Gingerbread to at least try the stock rom before trying anything else.
It said there was an update available but after checking the phone said i have the latest version installed (v20l).
When i checked i have the 725 baseband but the v10b rom.
Does that mean that someone has had a custom rom on it before and loaded the Froyo rom bck on it?
Whats my best option? Go back to older baseband and let phone auto detect and install latest, just flash v20l rom or go to a custom rom i.e. Cyanogen?
Graeme

It seems that the base band has been changed.. its not a problem imo, u can update the fone through the lg update tool on a computer or just do the ota update.. the letters at the end (v20b) is representative of the country but should not affect u.. once u have updated u can root and the down load the get ril app and check if the base band and ril match (if not that app will help u fix it) .. all In all shouldn't be any problems updating

Hi Daren,
I have tried updating OTA and vi the tool but both say i am on the latest version.
How do i get the older baseband back on the phone?

[Q] unbricked lg thrill

okay so i unbricked mt thrill using : [TUTORIAL] Flash BIN rom, Unbrick, Update - Optimus 3d (Service Flash software)
and it worked like a charm , i was wondering if any one out there had a att thrill back up from the states hiding somewhere ???
Lg doesnt even support this phone there is no official backup method for it
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium
well, if you unbricked the phone, why not just flash Thriller, as is the one closest to stock, without all the bloatware from at&t?
okay thanks , now for another noob question. if i had a p925 and unbricked it using p920 , what roms would i use from now on, thrill or optimus ?

Both. They're mostly interchangeable. Did the restore process flash the p920 baseband as well? If so then you will have lost the ability to get 4g regardless of rom.

i have the original stock Thrill rom available if you want it
please post for others
is there no way to extract the baseband from the lg source or a non baseband modified thrill?

i have the nandroid back up from my original firmware but it has some personal stuff so let me restore to that backup and wipe the data to make another backup.. sounds confusing but just give me a couple of hours + upload time lol

There's a return to stock thread in the dev section with a stock rom download.

LG 2X - cant upgrade after restoring stock rom

hey guys, i am giving away my lg 2x to a friend and i put stock 2.2.2 on it using Nvidia's flash tool, problem is when i plug it in, it says that an update is available for it ( 2.3.4 ) the problem is after i click it it says "your phone is at the latest version, there is no update it available"
Just wondering how to get stock 2.3.4 on it

The update isnt over the air. You have to download and install it via PC.

I am, it says theres an update ready for it but then it says its at its latest firmware
You can't download and flash 2.3.4 on it? I seem to recall a link with all the released roms somewhere.
Of course, you still need to be able to upgrade from that.

Hi,
I had the same issue, but soon realized, that I had already put on a baseband that was much more recent than original 2.3.4 release by LG.
Just had to flash a previous baseband, and then it could pick up the latest 2.3.4 after that.
Hope that helps. It worked just fine for me. I now have 0725 baseband after the lg upgrade, before that I had the recent march 2012 baseband.!
best luck

Bootloander??

Hi everyone!if someone knows for sure please tell me..If the ics update for o2x have locked bootloander we can't play with custom kernel...etc..ok?in that case we will have to flash 2.3 firmware again to have unlockend bootloander and flash a custom ics or jb rom with the working drivers?
Sorry for my English!!!!
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda premium
yes. that's right.
There isn't still an official ICS Update for O2x... However, yes you should return on 2.3 or I think we'll unlock bootloader without problem with a Toolkit like Nexus One etc.
Yes i read right now on general ics discussion.thanks anyway

Flash the European V30a kdz with NVFlash. there are guides showing you how to do it. Or just use CM10.
All Singapore versions here

[Q] JB on Brazillian 4X

So, i'm new here, came from the Defy community.
I've searched the forum a bit, and got a decent aknowledge on this device, but before doing anything stupid I wanted to ask here, just to be sure.
My 4X came with v10A VIV/BRAZIL, and I want to flash the new JB Firmware on it, but atm there are only EURO OPEN firmware avaliable.
My question is, using the KDZ Hack method, can I flash the EURO OPEN Kdz on my 4X without problems, or it's not possible? If possible, will I have baseband problems?
Thanks in advance.
Yes,you can flash any version without any problems.but remember to swipe data and cache after you flash the official JB otherwise there will be something wrong with your camera or other apps.
Good luck!

Does the imei get taken into account when flashing? if it is locked to a network does that also make a difference?
