Hopefully this simplifies things for those of you that are trying to get Gingerbread installed. If you need screen shots for certain parts I will try to help out.
Watch Video and follow steps above "http://youtu.be/ExwoHC5pOiQ"
To get back to stock just use the V10e .fls file and then load the stock rom from CWM recovery.
For factory stock try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1270832 after the baseband is restored
Files you will need to Flash Baseband from Froyo to Gingerbread and Back http://www.mediafire.com/?c2i2f4c9sz8u8z2
Froyo baseband for Brazil below. Might help users not getting signal in Canada or Latin America.

Just for the record, I'm not taking credit for anything other than just putting the information already out there into simple step by step directions that I used.

It actually seems great to me. Battery life is improved a little, plus you have some added features and a better camera. So far I've been happy.

That's it? A little? That's not very encouraging. I've been waiting to see how GB improves battery life but if it's just 'a little', that's not good. I'm going to just return this damn thing.

been using for 2 days its not a way better battery experience but a very stable and clean GB for thrill

So, everybody confirm that Thrill p925 can upgrade to 2.3.5 leak as instruction? Sorry for noob question, cuz i have just bought it one day. And in my country Vietnam, there is no way to get warranty or replacement. But i kinda want to be on 2.3.5 ^^

How do I check if my phone is rooted? (I'm sorry I recently started looking into this)
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App

Did you use superoneclick to root it? And do you have cwm? If you do odds are your rooted! Btw I'm loving GB super fast and smooth. I'm using coh'a lite rom instead of the Acura one the only problem I have with it is that Swype keeps force closing so I had to install some other swipe keyboard from the market, but its not a bad tradeoff

How about 3g signal? My country only has 3G with 1900 mhz. Now i am very exited. Downloading has almost done ^^

i have been having trouble with step 16
can you clarify on what i have to do for the step with lg flash tools and were to find the correct files

If I update the baseband and use this method to flash an O3D GB rom and dislike it, will I be able to use a nandroid backup to go back to a useable state?
tl;dr - Will a nandroid restore reverse the baseband change?

Yeah i also think that. But it looks hard to find froyo baseband for P925?
We should use XP to flash bootloader rather than win7, shouldn't we?

I downloaded the file from Lg Server
Followed the guide on how to install a KDZ files (link posted above) thanks to adixtra
When the phone rebooted it when into a bootloop so i removed the battery put it back on and went into recovery (volume down + 3D button + power button) wipe data and factory restore
reboot the phone and now I have gingerbread
did a superoneclick root access to gain root
installed CWM again
added the APN's and did a titaniumBackup batch restore and now everything its working and with the nice features
working on a rom for the thrill to add windows FX and other things

Are you able to go back to stock froyo afterwards? All features work? 4G, gps, mms, etc. Also, will there be a need to go to stock and grab the OTA gingerbread update for the thrill when it is released? Thanks in advance.

Yes you can go back to froyo just by doing the exact method but selecting the KDZ file for froyo.
ALL the features works (this is the live official update LG is pushing to european handsets) i have tried everything on my thrill and its working. (As I said before I can't test 4g so you can go ahead and try) obviosly have to set the APN lists manually because you are flashing a debranded (optimus 3d) firmware instead of the AT&T
I suppose that AT&T will release the Official Thrill firmware in the first week of december but unitl then you can install this update risk free and have the advantage of running the new gingerbread roms without going into the hassle of flashing the baseband alone with an XP machine and all that hard work.
Anyone else has installed this on there Thrill besides me? someone in the US so can test the 4G?

I am thinking about doing it. But don't wanna get stuck because I am new to android and I am going to be getting a new phone thru warranty. I figured its perfect to try since i will be replacing this phone anyway, just wanted to make sure I could go back to stock first. Maybe I will try it tonight. I am currently running "Thrill Seeker" custom rom. Do I need to go to stock before doing this?
Edit: also, sorry if this is a stupid question, but does this come with 3D converter?

Still can't connect at even 3g at home with the new 920 update. So I doubt 4g will even work

Dear friends,
I tried to install by this method but did not continue the installation. There was a message "there is sufficient charge in the battery, recharge the device to continue", the battery has 80% load, it is normal that message appear?
This rom is for the LG Optimus 3D P-920. She will work on AT & T P-925?
There is no risk of brick the device?
I need install something before? (baseband, kernel, etc.)

I was at 72 when I started. Went fine.

Well, after flashing last night and spending some time using it, and getting some calls, so far so good.
Everything seems smoother overall, with less freezes. App compatibility seems better, and there is a definite difference in battery life.
Call quality and signal strength seem overall about the same, bit I thought it was pretty good before. Not quite as strong as my Atrix in bad areas, but not enough to bother me.
The only thing I haven't tried yet is 3g, or fauxG if you want to call it that. We have edge only at home. When I go back to work Monday I will be able to test that.

There is no need to install anything beforehand the KDZ file has everything needed although it is recommended that after flashing to do a factory reset through recovery. It is in deed for the p920 but it works as well for the p925 although some users report the signal drops a little for the 4g although it works. Everything else function pretty well and most important battery life is longer.

If you have CWM you can try this:
-Charge the battery to 100%
-reboot to recovery
-wipe battery stats
-retry to apply the KDZ file

[Q] baseband version unknown + no network

hello,
i know creating a new thread isnt the nicest thing but my note isnt responding and im sweating badly
i have also posted this under the thread with the call recording mod but doing this here for faster response
i was running speedmod kernel k3-13 with stock 4.0.4
in the day to update by phone via ota reverted to stock kernel, still the update failed so reverted back to speedmod.
everything was working fine till then
sometime back thought of trying the call recording mod...
deleted the 2 files mentioned and then flashed the zip via recovery
after the reboot network gone, touch screen working intermittently and baseband version to unknown.
will flashing this rom via pc odin help? i dont have mobile odin
N7000DDLPA---4.0.3/12.06---N7000ODDLP5---Download--- India
i might have also done some stupid thing that i dont remember but i guess above mentioned is all what i did.
please help
thanks and regards
sujai

Just replied to call recording thread
Again writing steps here wait
Get root explorer
Put device in flight mode
Extract recording zip file
You will find two folder appl and lib in system folder
Now copy files in lib folder to system/lib
And appl files to system/app
Change permission. To rw-r-r
Delete phone. Odex and phone utility. Odex. From system/app folder

thanks doc for the blazing fast reply but had taken out the battery and was waiting for reply
now the touch screen wont work, it just stays on the home screen...thats it
i cannot go any further, no option works
please note that the phone is showing baseband version as unknown (saw it when the screen was working earlier)
and
there is no network aswell.
thanks doc, hoping for a solution.
even if i have to loose all my data to restore phone to factory rom and kernel, im okay with it. but just want my note to come to life.

Restart device and just try pressing power button and if you get option to flight mode, it should work for further procedure as I have mentioned.
If you finish as I suggest then you will get everything working with record mod too.
If you are unable to handle then just put device in Download mode and reflash modem with pc Odin it should work, in last resort just reflashed rom otherwise, neither method will wipe your data.
Just need patience, don't be panic this is little issue.

dear doc and nokiamodeln91,
pressing the power button does take it to airplane mode but then the phone does not get recognized by computer when i connect it.
so i would want to flash stock ROM straight away and just need a clarification. Ill put the phone in download mode, connect it to pc odin.
and then click the phone tab or the PDA tab?
will flashing this ROM - (N7000DDLPA---4.0.3/12.06---N7000ODDLP5) get me back to stock ROM and kernel?
afterwards i can always update it via OTA to the latest ROM and then put speedmod k3-13 kernel back, right?
will do as you say and report back. any other thing i should keep in mind while doing this?
thanks a ton for the help
regards
sujai

If you put ROM file for Phone, then it should work too. It will just replace your Modem, which is corrupted right now.
If it doesn't work then use it for PDA, it will replace full ROM and that will work sure.

a billion thanks doc for helping out!! though it failed in phone mode...worked in PDA mode and best thing is that i have all my data aswell.

yes that happens to the apps moved to SD card.. restore them using TB or reinstall them
and as dr ketan mentioned.. on the new twhome launcher... the apps moved to SD card will not stay where to fixed in (folders etc)..

No need to restore with TB/Reinstall
Just go to setting - Application - Apl on SD
And appl which are on SD card will have option to move to phone, move from there and that will be sufficient.

yes doc did that yesterday and its all cool!! call recording and transparent weather widget also working great!! all thanks to you!!
are you trying to find out a way for apps to display icons even when they are moved to card?

No, I think it can be solved by new launcher only, hope next update we shall get it fixed

[Q] T-Mobile T849 Stock Odin ROM Needed

Hey guys I flashed a rom and when the tab boots up the screen does not light up.
I am looking for the stock rooted or unrooted odin tar file to restore.
I can't get into recovery mode even when I tried through adb to get it into recovery mode.
Im not sure what manual recovery mode buttons are if there are any..

Recovery can be access from complete shutdown, press volume up and power button together.
Hold until Samsung logo appear m let go power button but continue holding vol up.

Please instruct me n how to. I am losing this battle. I do get into DL mode but from there I'm done..
I attached a pdf showing the error I keep getting

No phone after update
I am a newbie and I am not sure what I am doing wrong but I have no phone capability after the stock safe v5. If I use the original 2.3.3 or 2.3.6 european tmobile roms (obtained elsewhere), I have phone but slow data. With the safe stock, the phone crashes as soon as it tried to dial but data seems to be good. The indicator switches between 3g and H (whatever that means).
I will probably go CM9 but wanted to know if anyone is having problems with making or receiving phone calls. I am in the US and I used the tmobile bin as stated in the instructions.
I will keep searching the forums to see if this is addressed anywhere.
Thanks

H is hsdpa or 3.5g
You get that because you use t-mobile radio.

Damn I wanted to try the MIUI Rom but don't want the hassle. I'm guess this is the only way?

I don't think he has a d959 version of the miui yet. They are so close to getting cm11 ready for a beta. Radio is now working just gotta get the kernel to run stable. But as fast as they are coming along I wouldn't be surprised if its ready by the weekend.

That's my fault. He asked for them a couple weeks ago and I got sidetracked with my son and work has been hell. But thanks for reminding me. I just sent him what he needed.

Tested the first d959 miui. No go as of right now. Boots but no screen. Just black screen. Still a little more work but I'm sure soon.

haven't had MIUI on any phone since I had my Note 2, and kinda miss it!
Gerret had a sweet miui rom on that phone, so I know how great it would be if it works out the Flex..

I was having the same issue and i read a post in another forum here on xda (can't remember which one or i would link you to it) that used QPST force the phone into download mode. I also was unable to get it into download mode using adb. At any rate, it was fairly simple to do and i have done it multiple times since then. Just Google a working download of QPST, install it, and then follow the instructions below.
1) make sure that you're port settings I the hidden menu on your phone are set too diag mode. Data can be enabled for them as well, but diag is a must.
2) set the dmapp usage setting to ON in the hidden menu as well. The hidden menu is accessed by dialing 3845#*XXX# in the dialer where XXX is replaced by the three digits of your model number e.g. for a T-Mobile G Flex (D959) it would be 3845#*959#.
3) connect the phone to the computer you installed QPST on and wait for the proper drives to install.
4) open QPST configuration and click "add new port". Select the lg diagnostics port and then click the start services menu tab.
5) start the Software Download service and then make sure that you're phone was properly recognized by the service.
6) click the multi-image tab and set your window to look as the photo below.
7) once the window looks like the photo, click the start button and then hit the abort button as soon as possible so as to not actually do anything other than just reset the phone.
8) if all goes as it's supposed to, your phone should have been reset into download mode. I hope this helped.
