Hello - I tried to search but couldn't really find answers
I got my LGOS some days ago from Ebay.
He used Cyanogenmod but reverted it back to the Stock image "over the settings menu" - whatever that means.
It was still rooted (he said he did it with Gingerbreak) and had Superuser installed. Clockworkmemory is installed, too (I updated it to a newer version with ROMManager now).
It has the 10c firmware - that means unbranded if I understand that right.
I downloaded both RIL tools to figure out which RIL I have - but unfortunately they won't show me my RIL version
"Unknown RIL file found"
Baseband is 1035.21_20110405
Could somebody help me - what should I do next with my device? I think I want to stick with stock for now. Should I do a full revert with NVFlash? Or can I just use it? For the last 2 days I had no crash - it seems to work fine.
I owned a ZTE Blade before and did a lot of flashing (CM7 mostly). Just want to say that I am no total noob - but I am a bit confused with my new smartphone now
Thanks in advance
If it's working and you're happy with it, then don't worry about it.
Hehe thanks - and sorry for not making myself clear enough.
I want to stick with stock because it seems everything is working here. Maybe "stick" isn't the best word - "keep" would be better. I thought of a nandroid backup and then to try out CM7
It bothers me a little that no RIL version is shown - this works normally, doesn't it?
It works by comparing the MD5 of your lge-ril.so file against a list of known ones.
Whatever you have just hasn't been entered into it's database.

Okay, I sent you the email. Thanks
I am still a bit unsure about the way the pre-owner restored the ROM and rooted it.
First - does this apply to the LG 2x, too?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108201
It is strongly recommended that you flash clockwork recovery via NVFlash. If for some reason this or a future nightly build causes your phone to not boot up, you will not be able to boot into recovery unless you have it flashed via NVFlash.
To clear up some confusion, if you flashed your recovery via ROM Manager, you didn't actually flash a recovery. It is what we call a fakeflash, you should still probably flash with NVFlash.

Second: Is it correct how he restored the stock rom? He went to "Settings - Privacy - factory data reset" - but had installed CM7 before.
No it doesn't apply to the O2X, ROM Manager flashes properly.
If he did a factory reset, then it's not on stock ROM, just a blank CM7.

I mailed him again - now he clarified it
He reinstalled the ROM with NVFlash a while before he was on CM7 and then deleted all his data via the menu. This explains some remaining stuff & pictures on the internal SD card hehe.
Then it is okay - I just wanted to make sure that he did everything "correctly".
Thank you very mich Rusty for your patience with my noob questions
I had a similar problem when I Installed a 622 baseband, then stock froyo, then cyanogen.
Then I guess I installed the 622 RIL from GB instead of the froyo one and the result was an unknown baseband (in LG GetRIL app), locked sim and no phone network.
Going back to the froyo 622 RIL solved everything.
Hi I found a similar article on androidforums.com so I thought id make one here as a lot of people still seem to not know how to flash basebands and go from there. Ill start from the beginning.
For those who don't understand what this is about.
Old Baseband = If you have the Stock Froyo (2.2) Android system on your phone then you have the OLD BASEBAND, and you do not need this unless you updated to past 2.2.2 then continue reading if you wish to root your phone the easy way.
New Baseband = If you updated to the Stock Gingerbread (2.3) Android System on your Optimus One, then you fit this category, Lg have implemented a new baseband in this update which makes any Roms based on the old baseband not function, as well as making it more difficult to root your phone
FLASHING OLD BASEBAND
If you're already on official Gingerbread version you will need to downgrade your version to Froyo 2.2.2 using KDZ Updater. This is because the new Gingerbread contains the new baseband, and the Froyo firmware is the old baseband.
To do this please go onto this link that contains kdz and the stock Froyo 2.2.2 Rom required to flash. The reason you need 2.2.2 is its the easiest and proven version to work with Gingerbreak to root your device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13396506&postcount=1
Notice: If by some ACCIDENTAL reason, your phone gets stuck in EMERGENCY MODE during flashing, follow the instructions on this link how to use KDZs functions to continue flashing the firmware you downloaded in Emergency mode.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275523
FLASHING NEW BASEBAND
The Kdz File for new baseband is below, use the same method as above only using the v20G .kdz file instead of the 2.2.2 v10E update.
This will update your phone to the official LG 2.3 firmware, in which the new baseband originated.
csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP500/ANEUBK/V20g_00/V20G_00.kdz
If then stuck on LG Logo OR boot animation, try pulling and putting in your battery, turning on your phone and holding down volume down and home key, this should reset your phone to factory and then you will be able to boot into the stock gingerbread.
ROOTING
The easiest way to get root privileges on Old Baseband (2.2.2) firmware device is by using Gingerbreak apk. Just download it, install it and run it.
forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=600902&d=1305802958
To get Root access on the New Baseband (2.3.3) use SuperOneClick
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Or direct link to the latest version
forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=778098&d=1320906597
Make sure, after you download the program, you go into your cmd, then go into the ADB folder, drag the ABD exe file into command prompt, delete the .exe part and add devices, so it look like this
OR
Download the ADB.zip attachment on this post, EXTRACT it so cmdXP and cmd7 are located inside the ADB folder in the Superoneclick directory, and run either version, depending on your windows version (This links you directly into ADB app, instead of manually dragging ADB.exe int cmd, really its just for your convinience.)
Then all you have to do is type the following lines.
adb devices
press enter
adb shell
press enter
then type in the following directly after
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
press enter.
Then go into Superoneclick.exe, select auto method and run root, this should then eventually root your device.
***WARNING***
Some Antivirus softwares will detect Superoneclick as a Virus.
IT IS NOT A VIRUS, just the types of exploite code it uses makes some antivirus software think of it as malicious. Just disable your AV for 5 mins before you extract Superoneclick.
RECOVERY
There's two popular custom Recovery versions for O1 - AmonRa and ClockworkMod
The easiest way to flash ClockworkMod Recovery is by downloading ROM Manager app from the Market (free or donate version doesn't matter) and choose to flash the latest recovery version and choose the option to Reboot in Recovery mode.
For Other Recoveries including Amonra there are a few links, but here is the one that has flashable zips
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523050
Just flash the zip files in Clockworkmod recovery menu, after you install that through Rom Manager if you wish to use a different recovery.
Now that you got the right baseband + your device is rooted and loaded with a custom recovery you may install any Rom you wish that is based on the correct baseband such as
Mik_os 6.5.8 Cyanogenmod port (OLD BASEBAND).

Guys i did a search and looked into the sticky how to, and the only thing about downgrading baseband is using LGMDP, and kdz is only "mentioned" as a tool for unbricking your phone and flashing old firmware, new users would not know to use kdz.
Also this is a universal guide to root ANY lg optimus one together with having the old baseband, without having to mess around with SDK or LGMDP.
All members have to do now is look at this thread and all their questions are answered hopefully...
DIfference betweem this and doks.
This uses Official Lg KDZ updater, which means much less likely to brick your phone and if it does, KDZ is what is used to unbrick it anyway,
This option is much simpler to use for anyone.
I hear a lot about the new baseband making ROMs incompatible, but is there any advantage to the new baseband?
its not that they are making roms incompatiable, its that they are not designed for those Roms,
So far there has been no reports of any advantage having a new baseband, Lg engineers obviously decided on it for some reason, but the old baseband is more than fine, and in fact i have read several reports that with the new baseband gsm reception got worse in areas that they used to have fine reception, but thats all speculation.
Your best bet is to try for yourself, but if you want to make use of Roms such as miks cyanogen mod or others you have to use the old baseband.
There are other Roms available on the new baseband, so its upto you.
I suggest what rom you would like to install on your phone first, then pick the baseband it requires, as its only a simple flashing of your firmware.
Also note Gingerbreak.apk doesnt root any stock firmware past the 2.2.2 update.
Personally i pick the functionality and advantage of having a custom rom such as cyanogenmod over an update to the baseband
Does this guide work for Optimus T (LG P509) ? I have got one recently and currently using stock 2.2 on it. I don't know the difference between LG p500 and LG P509. I'm coming from T-Mobile G1 on which I'm using CM 7.1. Thanks for guidance.

Hi,

looking at it, i assume you can use this guide for p509, but i can not be 100% sure, try finding the t-mobile 2.2 kdz file, but yes not 100% sure the main difference.

KDZ can brick your phone permanently. Dont use KDZ unless there is no other option, and using KDZ just to flash baseband is just dumb since there are better and safer methods. KDZ wipes out everything, so there is a high chance to brick, and it can't be fixed other than by going to the service center. This thread by doktornoktor is safer.

I think KDZ is quite a safe method, rather than the LGMDP incorrectly backing up your NV2 and losing IMEI etc

As you already quoted it, i said that this method is different from Doks.
As for wiping all data completely, so its all brand new and neat, then try to fiddle around with internals and possibly have a bug result from it.
KDZ is what is used to UNBRICK your phone in the first place, so go do some research before posting unnecessary things.
Lastly how about you show some respect and keep your negative and rude comments to yourself, if you dont like this method dont do it, dont abuse people in the process.

it means your phone is past the firmware update that gingerbreak works on,
as it says in the first post, use kdz and the file in the link to flash your phone to that firmware, and then gingerbreak will work
You guys will only learn when you finally end up with a bricked phone. It has happened to several people, including me. I am not a noob, I have used KDZ before and I know very well how to use it. Most of the time, everything goes smoothly. But even if we follow all instructions to the letter, there is a chance of KDZ bricking our phone for good.
http://androidforums.com/lg-optimus...read-2-3-3-official-firmware.html#post3328455
A warning to anyone tempted to do this. Like the original poster, I also have an LG Optimus T. I am technically savvy (15 years IT experience) and I followed the directions to the letter, but the end result is a bricked, unrecoverable phone. Had I known the risks involved, I would have been perfectly content with Froyo and waited for the official upgrade to arrive.
Here is how mine failed: during the kdz update process, while the phone was on the "Emergency Mode" screen, the kdz updater program threw an exception and crashed. This caused the phone to be permanently locked in emergency mode. The buttons are unresponsive and the only way to turn it off is to remove the battery. With the battery in, it immediately goes to the emergency screen. No combination of button presses (eg, hard reset) does anything. The computer will still see the devices but only if I remove the battery and start the phone up by inserting the USB cable.
I have tried every method for recovery I could find including the following. In each case, I tried it with the modem device listed in device manager both disabled and enabled, as instructed in other recovery threads I found.
Flashing the original .kdz ROM in emergency and cs_emergency modes. When I did, it failed with an exception 4008.
Flashing the original .dz ROM with all of the tools I could find. LGMDP and LGDP2 could see the phone's COM port but beyond that, they could not communicate with the phone in any way. I couldn't even retrieve the IMEI number.
Updating the phone with the LG update software. It actually detects that the phone needs an update and starts to do one but it fails at the point where it tries to communicate with the phone.
Based on other posts I found for the same problem, I believe the phone is completely unrecoverable. I spent over six hours trying to solve the problem and I'm kicking myself for even trying this. I have put in a repair claim with LG and I'm waiting for instructions on how to proceed.
I would not recommend you try this unless you are not worried about destroying your phone. I imagine most installs go without a hitch but if the buggy kdz updater software crashes like it did for me, your phone will likely be bricked permanently.

I have used KDZ more than 2 dozen times -.- Just used it again this morning. I never ended up with a bricked phone mind you. They favour LGMPD since it's more updated, while KDZ is a little old but still very good.
There is a fairly equal share of bricked phones using LGDMPD, eventhough they got it back by using other people's NV2, they need to hope they are lucky to escape the long arm of the law.

Mate your the one who clearly doesnt get it.
And i read your post on androidforums, you even managed to brick your phone installing custom recovery, clearly your phone software is buggy, not kdz, kdz is capable of recovering while in emergency mode as well, but of course there are freak accidents.
EVERYTHING has a WARNING.
Every single Rom, Kernel, Recovery also carry a chance of bricking your phone.
I have used Kdz dozens of times and never had a problem with it, in fact, its what solved my problems in the first place.
And exactly wat terra said, the way LGDMPD works can also cause bricked phoes or taking shortcuts to make things half work.
You have to know what your doing, and follow instructions TO THE WORD, and you should be fine, if your going to skim read then you brick your phone doing the simplest of tasks (such as repeatedly flashing zips without reloading recovery...)
I will always prefer kdz as thats what the firmware comes with originally + i prefer doing clean installs any day.

Guys please help me. everything was running fine until I decided to switch to stock 2.3.3. I was unaware with this baseband thing. I switched to stock 2.3.3. I did not like it, so decided to roll back to cm7, I did, and here i am with no signal in my phone... I did flash the old baseband, but am still stuck with no signal... am in real trouble, and now if I again switch to stock 2.3.3, then also I dont get a network coverage at all. Please help me buddies

Hey mate, well no gsm is normally caused by the wrong baseband, so flashing back to the old one should fix the problem, try to re-flash the stock froyo given in the link on first post and see if that works, and if still no coverage then its a hardware problem and Lg should replace it for you, just dont forget to flash back to stock again if you rooted it, then they should fix it within the warranty.
Hello pls where i can get P990 stock rom zip ( czech version ) in zip format... for me is better instalation.
Please answer fast
I have backup stock rom but if i flash it .... in boot screen freeze and after 5 sec restart phone
You'll first need to convert your file system to EXT3 first. CM is EXT4 and stock is EXT3. Flash this zip in recovery: http://android.modaco.com/topic/336...3-for-converting-your-device-er-back-to-ext3/
So you'll need to do this in recovery:
1. Wipe everything
2. Flash the BackToExt3 zip
3. Restore stock rom backup.
This should work.
Nice big thx this is easy and very fast

I read this post above and cant go anywhere further because the silly rules do not allow noobsters to ask noobster questions ????
heres my problem,
I have P990 that came with froyo
the thing was working perfectly apart from front camera in Skype and silly old me, not being able to ask novice questions here (because you are not allowed) somehow managed to install the cryogen 9 naively thinking that this will fix the only problem I ever had. And then the world of unstability, locked and frozen screens, freezing, restarting, random uninstaling of apps, cameras not working, video freezing, music (what music??) not available and not even starting etc started to be my daily dose of my randomly properly working p990 phone.
Is there anyone kind enough to explain how to do stock rom as per above post install on top of my big mistake .
I have an unstable, unreliable (rooted ) P990 that is currently (very randomly) running cryogen 9 , I downloaded the 2 part files from trapacska's post (thanks for thinking of us mortals), I have 2 laptops , one with windows XP , one with windows 7 64 bit, a usb cable to connect laptop to the phone and I will to do anything to return my phone to some normality .
Please take me step by step or show me links how to do it and what other programs do I need in order to make my phone work as it is supposed to work.
Please understand that I do not understand what all this bellow means, and would really appreciate if anyone could explain or point to places where these things are explained ( please omit the first point, I found how to root elsewhere):
THIS IS 100% FACTORIAL STOCK:
-you have to root
-wipe data and cache NOW NOT NEEDED(built in format /system /data /cache)
-100% factorial stock kernel included
-baseband and recovery will not be changed
-if you have bootloop, try to flash backtoext3 first
Hi,
Sorry if this seems like a dumb question - A bit confused from reading up all the info on upgrading to ICS on the p990.
Im running a volk custom kernel, and CM 7.2 - OS Version 2.3.7.
Whats the "best" way to upgrade to the new ICS? I tried running the LG software update but it doesnt go too well, fails after it tries to detect phone - even though it detects it initially.
Can I get the release that LG released with my setup?
Please advise.
Thanks!
Same situation here. I'm on official cm7.2 and would like to upgrade to ics. But don't think that useing official lg update tool is so good idea - it might brick your phone. It won't update to ics because you aren't running the official GB rom so lg update tool won't upgrade (correct me if i'm wrong).
Maybe the AIO tool would do the trick.
Anyways, people we need your advice!
LOL, use NVflash ICS rom like TG.
for me the best way is using the toolkit to install new partition, new bootloader and recovery
than boot into recovery and flash the room as usual
Thanks Wakata.
Much appreciated. I have tried downloading the toolkit but its always corrupt.. ill download the 7 zip format.
I take it that I will need to back everything up and wipe everything, install new partition, boot loadder and recovery(CWM??), then flash with the new rom and kernel?
I've also used the All-In-One P990-Toolkit to upgrade to ICS.
You can use 1. to backup your internal SD in case you need it later.
Then hit 4. to change the partition layout and after that 8. to flash the new unlocked bootloader. That's all.
Thanks again
Slight problem - I downloaded the 7z file, and extracted them, but cant seem to run the .cmd file? What am i doing wrong here?
scratch that last question.. for some reason the files are corrupt when i download them.. grrrr.
So I followed the instructions, and suprise suprise, I get an error -
Nvflash started
nvflash configuration file error: file not found
An error occured. Read above lines for details
Help please
Nevermind, I had a fiddle and flashed ics 6.0.xxx.. lets see how it goes. Hopefully I havent bricked it lol
Sorry, problem.
I first tried option 1, then 4, then 8.. after its all done, no errors - I boot the phone, and its stuck on the red LG logo.. I've left it there for around 10-15 mins with no luck? Help!
Haha, actually I figured it out. I did realise I didnt have a ROM! Doh! lol rookie mistake.
I downloaded this rom and kernel(1.4ghz OC) and its running pretty well, no bugs so far(touch wood)
I have an AT&T (US) phone - rooted, with CM7 for LG Optimus 3D (P920 instead of P925) running on it - apparently the LG Thrill CM7 ROM doesn't work if you'd previously upgraded to AT&T's official Gingerbread ROM.
Now, the CM7 ROM for P920 has a major echo issue - I cannot talk on conference calls at all without an echo. Also, mute doesn't seem to work.
I'd like to go to a better ROM, or even to stock - but I didn't make a backup (yes, really really stupid of me). I've tried the stock Gingerbread ROM on AcidHazard's site (provided to go back to stock) - that seems to work, but most text is missing - font problem maybe, but I don't know how to fix it.
I've tried the Biohazard ROM itself, and it never booted.
Apparently CM10 milestone/nightly for the Optimus should work on my LG Thrill, but before I do so - has anyone tried this? With what results? Alternately, any other ROM I can try?
I've not been able to upgrade to ICS using the LG support tool - hangs at 4% and all workarounds listed on the internet don't work for me. I do have the official kdz file - backed it up when the LG tool downloaded it - but the LG flash tool isn't able to detect my phone.
I know - this question is asked lots, and I feel stupid asking it - but I've tried most everything that google search threw up, without success. I still have clockworkmod recovery installed, so I can copy ROMs to my sdcard and flash them. Suggestions, please?!
For v28B ICS with root and custom recovery

Just don't install the custom ROM and you will have v28B.

The first line in that guide says I need to be on ICS already - I am on gingerbread (or am I misunderstanding something?).
That line is there so people don't skip from GB to installing the custom ROM in recovery (that would give you a brick). The guide tells how update to ICS first.
I'll try out those steps, though the virus check disabling sets off too many alarm bells.
Before I do that really long procedure though, any other ROMs that people have good experience with?

I mainly put that because Defender was deleting the driver file without my knowledge and it was corrupting LG Flash Tool for some people.
Question: the kdz tool says phone not found. Is that the same issue the webserver and 127.0.0.1 address, or am I looking at some other issue before the HTTP issue?
