As RomWiz said your only option is to flash a stock rom(v20s is the most stable and fluid).If you want custom roms like Zeus , Marvel , ICS etc you must root your phone :good:

well thats it , flashed a rooted v20o and installed zeus v7 rom ,, thanks alot guys ,, oh by the way whats the difference between v20x and v20c and all of these ,, i know u can jump from one to another but what they meant for

They are originally different firmwares for different countries, some vary in bug fixed, that's why people recomend the v20s, it's the lastest

If its rooted then it has clock work mod recovery install, so just install rom manager from market and select reboot into recovery, have the custom rom's zip copied on your memory card, then after rebooting into recovery do wipe data and reset then select install zip from memory card and select the copied .zip file and it gets install new rom. Zeus is good custom rom, marvel v7 is also good

No you just need to have root access and cwm recovery.just remember to do full wipe before flashing a rom.

I think that you have not quite understand.whichever rom you are going to flash has a specific base.for example zeus has 2.3.4 v20o as a base.when you flash it your phone will have 2.3.4 v20o as a base.what you had before is irrelevant.since you flash a different based rom your firmware will change.take a look at the noob how to that i posted above.it refers to kernels and bases.if you flash nova rom for example then you go back to 2.2.2 froyo.if you flash miui you have 2.3.7.it foesn't matterwhat you have now.try to find some things on your own because we went way off topic and the moderator will close the thread.search is your assistant.

once youre rooted, it dosent matter what base youre using..... cos when you flash a rom you flash together with the base so it changes your whole phone software..... so its no problem switching between bases, you can even flash back froyo/ donut and go back to gb if you want.... but make sure you do your full wipes...
for roms,once rooted, only the type of device is specific.... type of base is not....(unless specified)
eg. you cannot flash an ics rom made for htc evo on your OB but what you can do is flash any kind of rom with any kind of base which was made specifically for OB

th rom ur talking abt is tw based? vl it hv premium suite apps?
What I recommend, based on what I did:
- Download the leaked German official ROM (about 600-700Mb), .tar.md5 file and put into your phone's sd-card.
- Install Mobile Odin Pro from Play Store (need to pay. there's free version too, but I suggest you pay for Pro, safer).
- In M. Odin, open the .tar.md5 file, and press flash. (if you don't mind wiping, best to also check the wipe options).
I didn't wipe, and then it couldn't boot.
So I booted into recovery, and wiped data/factory reset and cache, then it booted fine.
Still had root.
Then I installed CF-Kernel. Go to the Dev thread and scroll down till you see the GT...LPY version and download that zip. Unzip to take out the .tar file, copy to sd-card.
Use Mobile Odin to open it, and then flash. It will flash the kernel, and then you will have ClockworkMod recovery so that you can backup/restore ROMs again.
(Note: You can actually do the above in one single step, but opening the CF kernel file after you open the ICS file, so that everything else points to the ICS file except the kernel points to CF Kernel.)

[ROM][Stock GB 2.3.7]Stock Apanda rom

Here's the stock Apanda rom Android GB 2.3.7. I couldn't know anything about this rom as it won't let me pass the lockscreen. Lockscreen was similar to the spice stock rom. Don't know if it is any different.
Mod : edit removed this link
I flashed it but seems like the touch screen is not compatible with Spice mi 410.
[Edit] Flash 0.35 kernel(sharp/tj) to make touchscreen work -> Thanks to Abenagiel.
This didn't seem to be any better than sharp rom.
Before flashing this rom be sure to backup your imei. Me and Demonskill had problems of unknown imei number when we flashed the rom and tried to revert back using cwm restore. My personal suggestion, before you do cwm restore make sure to flash tj's rc3. Find more info about imei backup using 5iromtoolbox take a look at post by http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28096182&postcount=3. Thanks to LibertyMonger
Steps to flash this rom:
(1) Go to download mode and Flash this rom via SUT.
(2) Go to download mode and place the recovery.img from tj_style for the new kernel 0.35
(3) Place this 0.35 sharp kernel on sd card https://www.dropbox.com/s/c2myh6s2kgb9wi6/sharp_Kernel.zip
(4) Flash the zip via recovery.
Mirrors for the rom, recovery and 0.35 kernel can be found in the post. Thanks to aloklike- MOD edit: removed link
MOD EDIT : ok guys and the OP
i see a lot of problems i think for the safety of all i am closing this thread and removing the links. if everything is ok PM me and ill open this thread

very stable no fc no bugs for me with the kernel im using, camera & camcorder still zooms.. just use another launcher and get rid of all the bloatware/5keyboards
Guess I will have to try this, hope it is more stable than Sharp ROM. Sharp ROM has been rebooting and just had an awful freezeup while playing a basic game. Lost sensor functionality and had to pull battery. I have no luck with any ROM really wish we had one "go-to ROM" that is fully stable.
Actually this ROM is for K41 devices, not for FB0/1/3 devices. But since K41 devices is using similiar hardware with FB0, so this ROM is still compatible with our devices

If you use this ROM V20q, you will have to try, if the update tool works. I find those LG tools are working randomly.
If you cannot update and want stock ICS on your phone, restore with Paul O'briens Smartflash, then you erase all traces of rooting your phone!
Cheers

On the other hand, will the stock ICS rom be as good as something like the hybrid Temasek rom anyway.
If we had the drivers for the video chip (and HDMI?) it would be perfect. As it is it's still better than stock in every other way.

Going back to V20S from V30A ?!

Hello,
The first two days, the new V30A was fun to use BUT now it's a real pain, it is slow as hell, the worst are all the internet browsers that take ages to load and show the keyboard after 15 seconds or more when you try to enter text, it's laggy it's ridiculous.
How can I go back to V20S with Smartflash ? Will the partition be created automatically ?
Thank you. :good:
Jst smart flash v20s but then u again need to root n put cwm.......or jst do nvflash from this link

hey guys,
you dont need to smartflash, then root and then all that grandma stories
just search for Homero's clean V20S CWM rooted NVFLASH ROM and then it is all done with one nvflash....
Thats it guys....clean and simple....KISS....keep it simple and straight
Hope it helps
I have this doubts
Is the smartflash the same as the kdz software update tool?
if is so I just have to flash the kdz I have from my carrier like I have done many times in order to get back from the v30A?
I would like to go back to my carrier`s one since It has the only baseband that doesn't give me trouble so I don't care about flashing cwm again
I thought that we could not get back to a GB rom when we've installed a ICS rom ?
So, if I flash my phone using Smartflash, it will do it all automatically ? (i'm talking about the partitions issue) Thanks
i guess you're using stock V30a from LG update tool right? why don't u try some custom rom b4 going back to GB. I'm using TG ICS rom v30a and it's awesome :good:
