[Q] noob guide / back to stock - LG Thrill 4G

Background :
I have owned motorola/samsung/htc devices so far. I got ATT thrill real cheap on craiglist. It had cwm 6.0.1.9 and data/cache/systems were wiped.
What I did :
I flashed cm7 for P920. everything worked but baseband imei would not show up then I flashed cm10 nightly. baseband showed up (v20p) but still no imei.
I looked into forum for thrill and optimus 3d and found various thread on this subject. reading those this is what I understood. There are few threads on flashing back to stock ( resurrection thread was recommended) there are few threads on process of bringing back imei. I tried resurrection thread but omap driver would not install on vista 64 for me. I am going to try vista 32 or windows 8 64.
What I need:
I believe resurrection guide it the right way to go. (I want confirmation on this)
I want to go back to ATT stock with working imei and baseband. (or any other stock stable you suggest)
Understand basic functions, tutorial about this phone (wiki / noob thread/all things thread)
I came across term kdz (is that similar to flashable odin file on samsung?) and want to learn working of lg flashtool want to understand why there is a separate omap flash tool.
I also noticed that baseband are part of v20(number)p(letter) files (probably stock) files. Are there any cwm flashable baseband files?

This thread will return you to stock. Just follow its "LG Tool" guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1491870

LG 2.2-2.3 Rooting

Hello,
I have an LG P500H that according to the settings menu is currently on Android version 2.2
I've read in countless places that this device is eligible to be upgraded to an official 2.3. Through the LG support tool a notice displays there is an available update which im assuming is the 2.3 itself.
My question is with regards to rooting. I have located a thread about rooting this device on 2.2 firmware but nothing specifying any process for 2.3. If I root on 2.2 my assumption is I will lose my root once I upgrade. How would I go about rooting this device on official 2.3 firmware.
Thanks to everyone for reading.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here I will list the only post I've found referencing this involving rooting through ADB. Can anyone confirm? Or suggest a safer method to ensure success with no issues? The post is as follows:
The LG Optimus One P500 is the one of the best budget Android phones around. Now it can be updated to Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread, then the purpose of writing this article is to help you to root stock gingerbread in an easy way. LG Android Phones
How to root Android 2.3 Gingerbread on LG Optimus One P500:
1. Read everything first and after do what is necessary:
What Is ADB and How To Install It With Android SDK, please go to here.
INSTALLING ANDROID SDK ON YOUR WINDOWS PC from here)
Don’t forget to restart your PC after installations. LG Phone Problem and Solution
2. Download and install SuperOneClick. You can download the tool from here.
3. In adb:
adb devices
adb shell
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
After that open SuperOneClick and root using pneuter. Reboot phone and update Superuser from Market.
This instruction works fine on my LG Optimus One, I had some problems updating superuser, kept force closing, but after restart, it works. hit thanks if this was useful for you.
EDIT: So I try to update software through LG support tool. The first screen of the tool checks the software and says there is an update available. Doesn't specify what version. When the option to start the update is selected the second tool launches and says device is not able to be updated. Another question would be what exactly is going on with that? and how to go about getting the official 2.3 on this P500H. Thanks.
This is ridiculous.
I check the TELUS website which is the carrier for my device. Turns out the only "update" listed on their end is 2.2.1 and the instructions stated my device needed to upgrade as I was running 2.2
So I go ahead and update my device and everything completes as the instructions stated.
Well, now the phone is stuck in a bootloop at the android logo and will not go further. Thanks TELUS.
Edit: Hard reset fixed this issue, now running 2.2.1. Getting really fed up with this so called official 2.3 that I can not seem to get. Anyone with answers please assist.
heres the official gb rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140862
Thank you for the link. I looked over the thread and noticed that the post mentions v20g and v20c versions for download.
I'm guessing these are international versions as I have checked my phones About menu and noticed I have a software version listed as LG-P500H-v10s
How would this impact installing official 2.3 or is there anywhere I can acquire a version for my device.
Thanks
Doesn't really matter which one you use
V20c is unbranded, don't know about v20g.
Would it be correct to say that the reason I cant get this software update through the LG Support Tool or on my Canadian carriers website is because it isn't offered at this time by my specific carrier?
Therefore its been put out mainly to international carriers, hence why I would have to use an unbranded generic firmware? Just wanted to inquire so that when I complete the flash I'm fully educated as to which version I'll be using. Does anyone happen to know if NFC (near field communication) is supported in this unbranded version?
EDIT: Just to add. There appears to be a notice at the bottom of the page mentioning no 2G/3G data - wait for new release. Is this relative to the official 2.3?
So I am experiencing much lag on the 2.2.1 firmware that I am currently running ton this P500H for these reasons I will be attempting to flash to the official 2.3 in hopes of better performance.
Looking to clarify some instruction from the OFFICIAL LG GB thread listed in one of the responses. The tutorial states to flash "the russian way" and provides a HOW TO for using the LG DMP tool. In the tutorial the method says "This HOWTO is for users who want to switch from stock LG 2.3.3 ROM to CM7 or other older ROMs that are NOT based LG's on v20 ROM or vice versa"
My question with the statement is how does it impact the fact that Im on a stock 2.2.1 not flashing to a CM7 or vice versa. Which baseband would I be using as I am not sure what exactly this 2.3 is based on and I am running a v10s.
My guess is I would download the second baseband file in the thread listed as "- P500-v20G-baseband.7z is for official v20[abdg....] ROMs and ROMs based upon it (e.g., GingerLOL, v20G stock ROM, customized v20G ROM, 0x0v3rfl0w ROM and GingerCriccoROM)." and then flash the v20g 2.3 firmware.
If anyone can elaborate so that I dont brick this device when flashing
Another part of the article says "Eventually, all new ROMs will switch to new baseband by default, so it is useful as well if you want to avoid the complete KDZ/Russian way flash which wipes everything." Would this mean flashing "the russian way" with .kdz file would mean not having to change the baseband in the LGDMP tool. Kind of like an all in one solution instead of a drawn out process? I found a post with instructions for KDZ updater but dont have a file for 2.3 android to flash. What is the suggested method and steps? If anyone can clarify
Move this to General section..!!
Guess this should be in the General section and not in development..
Theres a kdz file of europe and russian version on xda.. search for it.. flash it usin kdz and you are done.. you get new baseband and then root using superoneclick.. you will lose your data.. but you can back it up using titanium backup.. flash recovery n den you are ready to use any of the new custom romz.. they perform well in quadrants.. not as much as those developed by our heroes like mik andy and all.. but for a stock rom those values are good.. i reverted back to miks cyanogenmod for itz performance.. anyway, if you want a stable, ALMOST bug free rom, go in for stock 2.3.3... there are minor bugs.. like status bar icons not alligned and stuff but you can manage with it...
works perfectly

Flashing CM10 on GT-P1000R

Hi all. Couldn't find any posts about this specific problem so here goes:
I'm trying to CM10 on the following device:
Model number: GT-P1000R
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: P1000RUXKG1
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7
Build number: GINGERBREAD.UXKG1
I've rooted the device with CF-Root v3.3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885734, CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.zip) which installs CWM 3.0.0.5. When I reboot in CWM Recovery mode and try to flash the zip, I get the following error:
assert failed: assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "galaxytab" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "galaxytab" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-P1000" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-P1000");
Click to expand...

I got around this by removing the assert line from updater-script and reflashing and although I see the logo, I get stuck in a boot loop as it tries to finish. Any way to get CM10 working on my GT-P1000R? No one else seems to have this device (it's GSM on Rogers in Canada).
P1000R is just a normal P1000 (M or R, plain P1000)
I have not tried but I am sure CM10 need CM9 first.

Seeking help flashing my SGT P-1000R
"I got around this by removing the assert line from updater-script and reflashing and although I see the logo, I get stuck in a boot loop as it tries to finish. Any way to get CM10 working on my GT-P1000R? No one else seems to have this device (it's GSM on Rogers in Canada)."
I have had the same difficulty flashing the rom for my GT-P1000R, as most roms are designed for the generic GT-P1000 and upon flashing check for the version and stop because ours is specific to Rogers. Exactly what did you do to modify the updater-script and what is the file called in rom ZIP package?
To be honest, ever since I was foolish enough to upgrade to Gingerbread earlier this year I have regretted it, as my Bluetooth no longer works with my HID keyboard. As I believe in going forward is best, I am looking to upgrade to ICS, but as a last resort going back to Froyo (if I can find it) would get me back the functionality I lost.
I would appreciate any help you can provide as I have scoured the net and found very little that deals specifically with our version (GT-P1000R) of the SGT.

Perhaps, but every time I try to flash a rom made for a P1000, the install fails indicating in the error message that it has detected my tablet as being a SGT P1000R, hence my original inquiry. I am sure it is simply a question of updating a config file to fool the installer, but which one?

Thank you for the links to the Overcome method, and I now have successfully upgraded my former SGT P1000R, Android 2.3.3, to a SGT P1000, Android 2.3.6 - A significant improvement indeed! Unfortunately my test to see if my Bluetooth HID keyboard works with my new and improved SGT came up short - Will pair, but not connect.
After doing some research and coming to the sad conclusion that only an upgrade to ICS will do to get the aforementioned functionality to work, I tried AKOB and CM9 upgrades, following the instructions available. Each and every time I tried the upgrade, the tablet went into an endless loop of reboots indicating an error, which was displayed too quickly to read. I ended up having to restart the Overcome process again to salvage things.
Alas it is late and my quest to get ICS installed on my tablet (unless someone can tell me how to get a connection to my Bluetooth HID keyboard in 2.3.6) will wait for another day. Thanks anyway for the help.

IIRC the endless boot loop is due to the install process complaining that it couldn't find some partitions. When you get to that point you should just reboot to recovery and install the zip again for the 2nd time and it should work then.
I finally have a fully functional SGT P1000, running the latest version of CM9 ICS, and I must say this has breathed new life to my tablet! My sincere thanks for all the assistance I have received, despite what at times must have seemed endless silly questions for the more veteran members here on xda-developers.
Now time to get used to the ICS interface and some of the quirks (e.g. mapping of storage) that come with this new version of Android. However, thanks to the obvious removal of all the "bloatware" that Rogers added, the performance of my tablet is phenomenal! :victory:

Hi! First of all, thanks for all this information! I Also have a GT-P1000R (Rogers) running on the same gingerbread version UXKG1 and rooted with the original thread. So, literally, my tab is in the EXACT situation from the original thread. I am assuming that in order to flash any custom ROM's, i need my tablet to be recognized as a GT-P1000 . I am reading the manual, and i am wondering which modem to use. Or do I just need to do an update considering I am already running Gingerbread 2.3.3 ? My overall goal is to have my tablet recognized as a GT-P1000 (not with the r) and eventually upgrade to ICS or higher, also for the primary reason of using a bluetooth (hid supported) keyboard...among other things.
I am familiary with Odin and these instructions are great, I am just slightly unclear what to do in the case of already being on gingerbread 2.3.3, but working with a GT-P1000r. Thank you in advance for your help!

I also posted this above to another reply, but am worried it will get missed.
I have the same table you do (GT-P1000R) with Rogers, and it was rooted with the same file you used in this original thread on UXKG1.
Do you recall if you just had to do an update with overcome (since you were also running 2.3.3 , UXKG1 as per your first post) , or did you do a complete overhaul.
If you had to do the entire process, which modem did you use? these are the options given...
-GSM based GT-P1000 Tab (Asia, Europe, Middle East, Occeania/Africa, rest of world, etc..) : use JPZ MODEM
-North American T-Mobile Tab user: use T-Mobile Modem
-AT&T (USA), Tel Cel , etc - use JK3 modem.
I am assuming i would use the NA Tmobile based, considering Rogers is Canada's 'sister company' to T-Mobile? but i want to be sure...
Thanks for the help..as you know..there isn't a lot of info on GT-P1000R version..
Not quite.
Rogers is using 850/1900 MHz , the same as AT&T USA
the term NA T-Mobile there is to differentiate that with the UK T-Mobile, which use the usual European frequency.
so At&T modem ?

Awesome..thanks for clarifying. JUST in case...I will Clarify then that I should use the A&T , etc modem version? Any other tips I should be aware of ...as I am working with a rogers version? Thanks.
Yes, use AT&T modem.
No other tips regarding special treatment, they are identical to normal P1000 except that the modem radio is made to work on 850MHz for the 3G part.
Anything you read about P1000 here applies equally to a P1000R
And you can use the Overcome method to get yourself a CWM recovery to flash ICS.
The link to its latest files and guide is in my signature.
If you are prepared to wipe out everything and start fresh.
Get the GB-stock-safe-v5 package (it has rom, odin, windows drivers, modem files)
and the PDF (read from page 7 onward)
and the Overcome Kernel 4.0 tar format.
Only the kernel, you don't need the Overcome Series 7 rom, if your eventual target is ICS.
Once you completed the step of flashing the kernel, you can reboot to CWM recovery and use that to flash ICS/JB, then its corresponding gapps, and you are done.
Last question...(i hope)

This might sound dumb - but because i've boot looped my galaxy s I9000m before (that STUPID m at the end...just like the r for my tab..) .. i want to make sure what exactly will be happening. I am familiar with Odin and flashing kernels, not so much modems...
My end goal is to EVENTUALLY flash ICS or J/B , but i haven't thought that far as to which one to go with, etc..so i might not do that part for another week or so -whenever i have time.
If i only do the instructions you gave me (for the rom, odin , etc) and the kernel, my tab should be all good to still use in the mean time, until i decide to flash ICS or JB?
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question.... I appreciate the assistance, and will be giving 'likes' and donations for SURE for all the help.
Yes, the guide is for Overcome Rom which is stock Samsung based gingerbread Rom.
The look is very closed to stock, but the kernel is improved.
Many are happy with just running it.

I am sorry, but as I read the thread through some more...i am still a bit confused of a couple of things. I know this is really probably a simple process...but bricking my tablet is the last thing i want to do.
Answers to the following would be so helpful:
1) Do I need to install the modem? I am currently on GB 2.3.3 unlocked and rooted. My tablet and root information is the same as the original thread. It is rooted with
CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.zip from the following thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317384 . I have not installed a modem before..so not exactly sure when/why this should be done and when it is not necessary to. - or do i ONLY need to go into odin and flash the kernel and rom. I am trying to get my tablet to be recognized as just GT-P1000 not with the r. It is the modem that will change how my tablet is recognized?
2) Do I need to insert a SIM card when I flash Overcome modem (if necessary) and kernel and Rom?
I do have a SIM card capable tablet, but I dont actually have a sim card for it. I use WIFI - and tether it from my phone if i need to. My service provider in Canada, Sasktel, blocks SIm cards from being able to use it in more than one device at a time (lame I know) , so buying a SIM card and not using the radio doesn't make sense. that being said , I DO want to be able to use the radio with a SIM card if i need to, like when I travel overseas and purchase one for their carriers.
Thanks again!
Your current rooting method leave your tab as P1000R, that is why I recommended overcome from scratch.
And I didn't know you are rooted and have cwm
Modem is for mobile network.
Wen you flash with Odin "repartition" , your modem will be wiped out.
A modem is required.
if you never use mobile function, any modem will do.
Remember being P1000R, if you are overseas other than with USA at&t, you only get 2G.
In Europe and Asia the UMTS freq is 2100Mhz and your tab is incapable of doing that.
You not need SIM to flash overcome.
Since you have cwm, you can just flash overcome ROM series 7 from cwm. Try that.

Thank you SOOOOOO much for the help on this. you answered sooo many helpful questions.
TBH - i love this ROM , and i would love to keep it as this. but it is does not have HID bluetooth compatibility. any plans for the future to have this available on this ROM?

[Q] Question. I don't know where to start

Firstly, Hello. I'm somehow new. The most i've done with my phone is root it and flashed cm10 nightlies and updating.
Now, im planning to switched to an ics rom.. now, im stuck. I've been reading a lot and still a bit confused.
I am planning to get this. DjangoManouche X 1.2.1
im currently at cm10.1-20130110.
BB. LGP990AT-00-V20i-ESA-XXX-May-16-2012+0
CWM: 6.0.1.5
im planning to follow the 'how to install...' from the DM1.2.1 thread..
first it says to download AIO tools. ive done that. do i just have to follow the option 4?
the thread says install 30 based CWM.. im a bit confused, do i have to flash first the BB to 30? ive read the basebad overview but didnt see if BB 30 is compatible in my country (Philippines) (or ive understood it wrong and that any BB works on any country?)
sorry, im just confused..
so...
1.download AIO tools?
2.smartflash baseband to 30a/30b? or i just need to change partition from old to new? [all using AIO tools]
4.install a new CWM 5 or 6?
3.and then flash the custom rom?
btw, is backing up and restoring nandroid backup a necessity?
i dont care about my files or anything... i just want to get on that ics bootloader with that custom rom.
sorry if i've confused you too :crying:
OH! SORRY! ive just realised. ive badly named the title (out of all my confusion).. i dont know how to rename it.. my bad...
Go this way:
1_Smartflash an official V30A Rom (for what I know the V30B is still available only as .kdz so it's not that easy)
2_Download the AIO tool and unlock bootloader, root and flash CWM. It's really easy, just follow the steps.
3_Install the ROM you prefer based on the new bootlader
wow. thanks. those are easy steps.. my brain crashed from bad understanding of basebands. haha
thanks. will try as soon as i get back from school.
lastly, the only downloads i need are the BB files, aio tool, and the custom rom?
It's very easy! You'll just have to focus a bit on these things! Anyways, we are always there to help!

[Q] No Service after Installing Custom ROM

Hi,
I'm pretty new to the whole custom ROM scene and have come across a problem when installing CynogenMod version 10.1.3-RC2-galaxysmtd. I've been able to get everything else working but can't seem to get any network service or GPS.
I've read numerous articles on flashing a correct radio or installing a new modem (not sure if this is the same thing or not?) if you can't get any service but haven't done this yet. I've also read articles on moving the files from sdcard\backup\efs into the efs folder in the phone memory which I've tried but doesn't seem to work either.
My baseband version is I9000XXJVT and the rom is running on android 4.2.2. Before the ROM I'm currently on I came from a stock Gingerbread ROM. Was there something I needed to do when coming from a stock ROM that I missed?
Any help on this would be appreciated as I've hit a bit of brick wall
Thanks
Hey there,
So long story short, you've probably lost your IMEI. You can check this by going into Settings -> About Phone -> Status then scrolling down to IMEI. If it begins with 044 or something similar then you know you've lost it.
So to solve this:
1. Flash back to the stock Gingerbread you were on by means of Odin, there are many guides for this but the one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2444308 is quite comprehensive (and leave the OP a thanks as well)
2. Download CM9 from the Cyanogenmod website.
3 Root your S again (this will depend on which Gingerbread rom you flash).
4. Boot into CWM recovery. Do the usual data/cache/Dalvik wipes.
5. Install CM9. Let it boot. You don't need to download ICS gapps for CM9 as all you need it to do is boot.
The reason why you install CM9 is to make sure that the IMEI sticks when you then flash a JB rom. Flashing straight to JB from GB tends to lose the IMEI as said before.
6. Once you've let it boot, reboot into recovery again. You don't really need to do the same three wipes again. Install CM10.1.3 RC2. You'll need to flash the zip a few times- three times at least. Flash Gapps as well, of course.
That should hopefully make your signal reception and GPS work
(I covered this quite briefly so if you do need clarification on any of the steps don't hesitate to ask)

Hi
I checked and I do have an IMEI number which begins with 3 not 0. I also checked the IMEI number and it brought back the correct phone details.
Should I still follow the guid you have linked to or do I not need to do that?
Thanks.
Odd... If the IMEI is intact then you should be geting reception. What you could do is make a backup of your rom and then try the steps I suggested to see if you get the same problem.
Most likely however its due to your modem. In the development thread there's a list of modems compatible with the I9000. Try flash XXJW4 or one for your country through recovery and see if that fixes anything- if not, try the steps.

Wrong forum, find the AT&T Galaxy Note forum and they should have answers there

Where to start?

If there is anyone still wandering around these old relic halls I have a quick question. My aunt just got the LG Thrill 4G P925 from a friend. It keeps saying there is not enough storage and will not install any apps from the market or anything at all. I intended to just root it and flash a custom CM Rom or maybe another stock rom. I think that would be fine for her. I expect whatever is wrong is probably software related as storage in settings shows plenty of internal and SD storage.
I rebooted into recovery and well, would you look at that? It booted into CWM v6.0.1.9. Ah hah, It is already rooted with Super User installed but it is running FROYO with Baseband version 01.1042.00 I believe I need to update to the newest baseband? I assume that once I do that I can flash any ole rom via CWM just like I would normally do. Where do I get this update tool to update to the newest baseband? Is there just a way to flash that via CWM as well as that would be ideal. Working on these old low end spec phones is difficult as there tends to not be much support or development. Any ideas or help would be great. I was glad to see it was rooted but I hate to have to update via LG Tool and then have to reroot.... ugh. Thanks if your out there!!!!
Alot of these links are dead. I have the LG Flash tool but I'm not sure what to do with it. I guess I need a. .dll file but I'm not sure which one. Or perhaps a .kdz file?

Have not checked the forums in a few weeks. My tut includes how to flash a baseband

Driver install is VERY fiddly. I recently reflashed custom ICS and had trouble and I wrote the thing lol. I dunno what baseband you need for your CM. There is a link there for basebands besides what is included in the xbsa pack. I dunno if thosd links are still good. If any in the guide are down pm me. If they are mine I can reupload someplace.

Is it not possible to just flash a baseband in recovery? I've done it on the Nexus, my G2, etc. If I could flash the right baseband I could just flash an updated rom and be done with all this....
