[Q] upgrading optimus black help!

Hey guys, i dont know if i posted in the right place but here it goes......
Ok so i jus got the lg optimus black p970 and first thing was first to upgrade as told by t-mobile i could upgrade to 2.3.....
Ok so i use the lg updating software on pc and it says i was being updated from 1.6 -2.1 although in (about phone) it says 2.2.2 bfore and after the s/w upgrade :s
So to cut it short i want to upgrade to 2.3 and i hear i need custom rom and root (only ever used super one click for galaxy tab) meaning lack of exp rooting lg....
will the gingerbreak root work for the lg thats not on 2.3 and is there a solid walkthrough about that you guys can link me too so i can fully understand what i am doing......what i have found doesnt explain much and i dare not risk it....
Thanks in advance

thanks man

If you want to root your LG P970 than u should use gingerbreak. There is a really nice topic made by Noejn explaining how to do it in the android development section of Black forum. There are no custom rom's yet but I think that they will appear in a short period.

Gingerbread update still hasn't been released by LG for the Optimus Black. What the T-mobile rep might have meant is that the LG Optimus Black is upgradeable to 2.3, which it is. It's just that the Android 2.3 update still isn't available yet for the OB.
Once custom ROMs are made based on AOSP 2.3 or CyanogenMod, then you can have Gingerbread for your OB.
LG might be releasing the official Gingerbread update on September based on this thread: http://android.modaco.com/content/lg-optimus-black-black-modaco-com/342281/2-3-gigerbread-official-release/

Tsk Tsk Tsk.... read forums on how to do it please!
But I'll help anyways, USB Debugging mode needs to be turned on, on your phone.
You need to have the LG Thrill USB drivers installed on your PC
You need to enter USB debugging mode on your phone... Should work after that.

Usb is on and yes i have current drivers installed....im not new to this stuff just new to the thrill coming from a captivate

any help is greatly appreciated

Are you using the one from the Development forum for the Thrill?

Yes ive tried that one, ive tried several

Are you on stock?
Sent from my LG Thrill 4G

yes i even did a hard reset as well as soft. I just reconfirmed my drivers are all up to date and installed.BTW im on windows 7 if thats of any help thanks for your help so far. Im usually really good with this stuff but im stumped

Let's see.
Are you looking to go to a particular ROM?
Sent from my LG Thrill 4G

not particularly any suggestions?

I don't have any suggestions.
As for root, I'll look into it.
Sent from my LG Thrill 4G

Thanks a lot for your help. I thought I had it last night it went through the entire process. But when my phone rebooted it bootlooped

Okay. Let's go through the loops.
Are you on Froyo or GB?

froyo 2.2.2 havent got any ota yet one of my reasons for wanting root

Alright.
FROYO - CHECK.
Would you care to try this in rooting?

it worked.
Thanks so much for your help i really do appreciate your time. Any rough estimates on your rom yet?

Really noob question... is there any plans on getting 21b rootable anytime soon?? I've had no problems running this stock, in fact battery life has been very much improved.

Bricked Notes through Leaked ICS Kernel

So who actually has handbricked his device with one of the leaked kernels. Please be honest!

and if there are who bricked their phones with ics leak kernels, please also leave feedback after what moves you bricked phone

I bricked my phone with that angel from ics kernel leak a few months ago.
I'm sure the emmc partition is corrupt that writes data to it while flashing rooms
Mobile Odin dont work or PC Odin can't help me i get factoryfs.img error on write.
Resulting in gingerbread roms stock or custom cant be flashed
ics repack touchwizz roms can't be flashed either.
Only working roms that work are aosp-aokp.imilka cm9.
Liquidsmooth -stunner and so on.
But Cassie's extra light x gingerbread rom works.
But that's the only 1
But I went to a phone shop today
And the person said thay be having new software in 2 weeks that will fix my issue
So I can have stock gingerbread again

I believe I've just bricked my GNote a few minutes ago. I was on Criskelo ICS, then this thing with ICS leaks are being dangerous and the performance of the phone in games made me try CM9.
I've followed the instructions, the phone doesn't restart now. I'm in USA, I just wonder how the warranty works for international GNote in here. Do I have to send it to Samsung UK ? I got my phone through Expansys-USA btw

Are you certain it's bricked? Can you get into download mode?

So far so good.

I've the jig tried, didn't work, have couple separate batteries, they don't work either, and none of the buttons do work. The phone is plugged now, nothing on the screen, will see if anything happens

I've contacted Samsung Europe, do you think they'll just replace it, or I'll be billed for that

I think(I'm almost sure) it will not be free ...

I bricked my phone a few months ago. Flashing angel ics kernel.
I still had working download mode. But cwm recovery was missing and replace with a blue writing state,
Interface I think it was.
So I flashed a kernel I think kj4
Cwm recovery was installed again
Resulting in me using it again
As a semi bricked device

I totally bricked mine when updating stunner, I made a good bit of noise about it though I think most of it was removed. And yes totally bricked and going back to sammo for motherboard replacement at a cost to myself. Should be hard for any one to brick now with all the information available tho

you should follow some of the guides on this forum to see if you can get your phone recognized by PC odin. Just because the screen and buttons do not work does not necessarily mean that you are hardbricked

I didn't know that, could you help me out ? I don't know how to do.

I you do not know what you are doing, Why do it?

we are all humans, we all do mistakes. Even if you "old school"
By mistake I flashed ICS kernel (witch was inside in iMilkas gapps) when I was on latest Cyanogen...
and I failed.
And I call to USA Samsung, they said : "Im sorry your phone is N-7000 ! Non-US phone." Call to the Europe.
I called to UK Samsung, they said: "Im sorry you in US, we can't help you".
So long story short, THANKs GOD for Ebay ! lol
I fixed for 29$ (JTAG box)

Galaxy note3 menu & back key problem

Hi guys
I have a problem with my galaxy note3 n900t. My menu and back key is not working when i touch them with my fingers but they work whit the s pen! Anyone with the same problem or a solution?
Thx

Someone else mentioned something similar, however insufficient information makes it hard to help much. I had an issue with original note and it was the rom. Tried other roms? Are you rooted? Stock? Custom rom?

The problem started on the stock rom. The key would not light up and they would not respond on my fingers just my s pen... this was the first phone that i liked on a stock rom haha... but i rooted it in hoppe that it would solve the problem.... i installed the wicked v5 rom... but still nothing... i called the service and they never heared about a problem like that... haha... but they sad that i had to repair the hole thing (digitizer,display...) not just the buttons... so not a cheap thing to do... so thats about everything....

This just happened with my note 3. Not sure if it was after I rooted or it just happened randomly.

Try another clean install of stock. I would suggest putting it to stock and if the issue persists going through samsunh warranty. If the issue was ocurring on stock it is most likely defective. Goodluck

Mine is a t-mobile..I think it was fine until I rooted it..but I am not sure as I only just got the phone, so maybe it stopped working before I rooted. I have tried reflashing the stock firmware...no improvement. The only thing I havne't tired is updating it to 4.4.2

Does anyone has an idea about this problem? This just started today and it's bugging me to no end!
Cheers!

at&t galaxy note 3 sm-n900a back key and menu key are not working after update lollipop 5 0 same problem here but when i install other custom rom then both key are work but when i install lollipop 5.0 then its not work if any one this problem try to flesh other rom hop its work :good:

Hi same here the buttons only works with the spen, help please stock firmware 5.0

Did anybody find a solution to this? I just tried rooting my note 3 and it all went fine but now my menu and back button do not work at all with my fingers but works fine with spen. Really hope somebody knows what to do!

Would you press *#2663# and tell me what you show under TSP FW? see if the phones touch key FW version is same as Parts touch key FW, try to update all of them if its work great if not let me know so we can upgrade your keys.

So my problem is that only my menu key doesn't work. Just changed the screen/frame. Works with always with the pen and some time when I tap it. Back key works fine. On rooted 5.0. Touch key fw does match at fx10
