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/
Hello all
I have a X8 .. was rooted and had installed the xrecovery a while back but until my phone froze and had to install the stock one from the pc suite. Well .. done that succesfuly ..phone worked like 10 minutes and then it went crazy again . Now it`s rebooting on and on .. Dunno what baseband i`m on curently now .. recovery doesen`t work anymore .. :| All I now is that i`m on android 2.1 update 1 ( I think ) and i have a logcat that goes like this http://pastebin.com/index/LDgYKHkM ( sorry .. didn`t knew how to make pastebin apear here :> )
I`d appreciate if anyone could please read the logcat .. and give me a solution.
Thx alot
Anyone? Please?
Sorry i cant help, i asked a friend to look but all he said was to repair with pc companion or use flashtool to flash new baseband. There is a thread in x8 development on basebands. Sorry i cant be more help, i only posted to assure u your not been ignored. Il keep asking and searching until i find an answer. Good luck and if you find a fix would you post here in the hope that othes that might have the same problem stumble upon it.

Thx ... really apreciate that u replied I`ve flashed the last few days some Roms .. and nothing seems to work :| The best i`ve got from an official Rom was about 7 hrs .. and then it went crazy again ) Now flashing the 1.6 :| I`m starting to think this is not a software related problem .
Its very strange, it may be the kernel thats at fault, my wife updated to 2.1 through pc companion but somehow kept the old kernel and her phone went crazy. Random reboots, wifi drop out and couldn't install large apps like angry birds. It may have been that she kept old baseband but upgraded the kernel, i forget now. But the problem was solved when they were both updated. Did you root each time you fixed it? Or does it still mess up without root?

1.6 seems to work properly .. so I don`t think it`s a hardware related problem ... now i`m really pissed!
Check the baseband so. It's sounds like your on old baseband. Flashtool should sort it and allow 2.1 update. There's a thread here somewhere, I'm on mobile app so can't post link. I'm having a few probs myself, just upgraded to new froyobread 2.3 and everything force close. Don't you just love technology.

Not every kernel supports ums. Additionally it has to be activated in menu ( ->memory->hit the options-button). Otherwise you can use apps like "software data cable" and copy your stuff with wifi.

Hello guys I just sold my 4S and bought this Note 1 , anyway im new to android flashing and this stuff , ive heard that its way different than iOS restoring which is really easy and simple. Right now i got a few questions , If i missed a step or did something wrong it'll render my device unusable ofcourse , but will it be unrecoverable ? Thats the first thing. Second thing is that is it recommended that i install custom roms? right now i need one's with the Water Ripple effects on lockscreens , or if you can just tell me how to install the effect without custom rom's that'll be helpful because i want to flash official 4.1.2 jelly bean first and then the lockscreen effect. Im just new to the Android stuff and i dont know where to start Same feeling back in 2008 when i bought my first iPhone and got confused n' all
Read around for awhile, its what got me started when I first came here.
Again, read, read read, and avoid asking questions which have been answered countless times its annoying really.
Start with this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997, understand it by heart before attempting to root/flash on your new Note :good:
I dont really get anything , extract till tar what does that mean?

If you just install stock official 4.1.2 rom via odin, it should come with the ripple effect.
Or if the update is already available in your country, you can just update it to the latest official rom via kies.

You'll notice that all of the download links are zip files.
You just need to extract the zip file until you find the .tar file.
Get 7-zip if you don't already have an archive reader.
Help with kernel
So recently I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Note GTN7000 and flash it with franco kernel, then when I turned on my phone the bluetooth is not working and it constantly crashes and get stuck (The screen just go green and pink like an old TV with bad signal). So I panicked and unroot it immidiately. But that didnt seem to solve the problem.
So my question is, can I flash it with the original kernel. If so how? and where can I get it. can you teach me. (NOOB REQUEST )
just flash the stock rom again... using PC odin
Alright guys thanks for the reply , i heard theres a way you cab install roms without pc since i just want to install official 4.1.2 , ill do some research

Yep, there's a way to install roms without PC, using mobile Odin, but before that you should have your phone been rooted first.
Well i can upgrade with PC but im kinda afraid .. All i want is just updating to jelly bean official on my note , I searched for about 2 days and learned how its being done but while searching i came to posts showing people crying cause they got their phone bricked cause of kernel blah blah , i also saw at the end of the installation guides that it will get my phone in a boot loop or stuck at samsung logo and im not sure xD i just want to update and im taking it seriously cause i dont want to brick my phone ..

Wait a few minutes. Let me get on my PC and I'll give you step-by-step instructions.
Now, do this:
Since you're scared, we'll do this the safest way possible
1.)Download a stock GB rom from here.(You can always come back to this ROM if you run into any trouble).Flash it via PC Odin.
2.)Wipe data and cache from recovery (Press Vol Up+Power+Home when phone is off in order to boot to recovery)
3.)Download stock JB rom from here.Flash it via PC Odin.
OR
1.)Update using Kies.
You're done
Alright ill do this when i get home , hehe thanks man ill update this thread if i get into any trouble

If you wipe, you may brick.
Other than that you should be safe.

Im following this method right now , so i just download Gingerbread (550+mb i think?) and install via odin and then i have gingerbread? No additional steps ? No chance of loops/errors/bricks or anything or installing additional kernels like some people said cause that's whats confusing me ... i dont really want any custom kernal i want jelly bean stock ... if anybody could guide me through skype i'd be thankful
EDIT: Iv'e read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633938 thread carefully and it says that if you wipe using Settings you will get eMMC bug , i was on 4.0.4 and wiped but it booted normally without any problems (No loops No Restarting on its own No lags) and it was smooth , even though that app from playstore says my chip is insane .. Somebody explain this :S ?

Yes, then you'll have gingerbread. Don't forget to wipe after installing gingerbread.
It may brick. Not definite that it will brick. Still, better safe than sorry. Never wipe on stock ICS kernel!

Well said mate. Was going to say exactly the same. People seem to rethink it's a manned help site.
We will help but help your self first. That's how you learn.

I actually read and made my research already , and also successfully upgraded to jelly bean and i must say , i made a big mistake >.< The performance is crap and the phone gets overheated in a few minutes on both note 1 and 2 ( Its on 4.1.1) Im not really into kernels or custom rom flashing cause i already had a bad experience when i emmc bricked my old s2 thats why i take my steps carefully with this note. Ill downgrade to 2.3.6 and ordered an original battery (Yeah im using fake one stupid i know) and see of that fixes it. Appreciate your help guys , thanks

You DIDN'T search at all. Searching involves looking through the forums and opening your eyes. Don't be so lazy - everything you need is already documentet many, many times.
XDA is not a helpdesk for noobs - so stop acting like one and put some effort in.
