[Q] Warranty Stock Rom questions - LG Optimus 2x

Hi
My simcard reader has died on me and googling suggested it was a baseband/RIL problem. Only that those problems surface from rom changes etc. I have not changed my rom so its been decided it is purely a hardware problem.
I still have warranty and will need to unroot and put stock rom back. I have done that using NVflash, I am just worried they will suspect I rooted the phone. I bought the optimus 2x in Australia and fear they will know I installed the european rom ( not sure if the roms are the same or not ). What can I do to maximize the chance of LG honoring my warranty?
I have updated the official firmware to ICS, I know for certain it is out in europe, but i was not sure if ICS was out in australia. This is another potential suspicion. Help appreciated, leave thoughts and comments on how I should go about doing this.

BUMP sorry for doing this BUT im taking it tomorrow and need last minute help!
I am paranoid they will think it was rooted etc so I want to know if the official ICS software version P99030b is out in AUSTRALIA? (im running this version atm, its official LG but i don't know if this is out in Australia yet. I think I have the european ICS).
Another BIG question I really need to know is how do i flash a rom that is a zip file that has a .bin and fls file? Is this NVFlash?
The rom I found is from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035041
Can anyone let me know what I need to flash these roms? I found the same rom on another site and don't know how to flash it. Please help the warranty expires really soon.

if you have to flash the ROM using the .bin and .fls files....try the AllinOneTool kit by sprosk....then you can unroot...
but the best way is to connect the device to LG update tool....the job is done....you will lose your personal data...so just backup
no one can then find it out....dont worry
hope it helps

Yes, the official Australia ICS is out, you can download it from here, under the Australia section.

If you check out this thread by felipemadox and download the contents, in the instructions (in the downloaded files, not the ones in the thread) there is one part where you can "clear software update registry", that might help.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264289
Seeing as it's just a hardware problem, I doubt they will even look at your ROM.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for that!
I think you should post this in a new thread. The DX region ROMs cover southeast Asia, and a lot of us would be interested. The pda may be older but the radio rom and csc are interesting.
Thanks Hardcore. Your comment is much appreciated. Can you please enlighten me on the things that make this ROM interesting?
To give you a little backgrounder Sir, I got hold of this ROM from my provider about 6 weeks ago just after Samsung failed to meet their September Froyo commitment. I was kinda adamant in making a thread on this ROM because I wasn't sure how the community will react to it given that it's a leaked ROM and there were already a number of ROM releases that were being modded and/or enhanced, even some that has higher build numbers like JP3 or JP6.
Let me assure you that I installed this ROM and found it to be very stable and fast and obviously, I pretty much wanted to root it and performed a lagfix (to make it faster and just to see the Quadrant numbers for the heck of it). But, since I'm not a software engineer / developer, there was obviously a lack of knowhow on my part to implement said operations.
During the course of this time, I made a number of PM's to several members asking their help on how to root it, but, their replies and suggestions to root this ROM pointed me to either JP6's or JPA rooting instructions, which using my common sense weren't applicable to the DXJP2 (if my conclusion is correct). I also fervently monitored the activity on this forum (which I haven't done for a number of years) hoping that finally there was someone who's able to get this ROM build besides me and who already found a way to a root solution, but up to now, there's not a single thread on this.
I hope that a good member of the community would stumble upon this thread and help us in rooting this build. In the meantime, until the root for this happens, I hope we can keep this in thread or until an official DXXX build comes out.
What do think my friend?

I'm using Doc's JPO 7.6.2 ROM as of the moment with an upgrade package that I edited using 7Zip, Stock AOSP lockscreen with extended power menu and battery mod. Oh, and I'm using the Hardcore's V2.2 - 200Mhz kernel.
I read somewhere in the XDA that there will be Froyo updates officialy available from 11th November and later on, like a couple of days after... Yet nothing for us JG4s... I have a DXJG4 with no good news...
Can someone confirm whether we will have this new update anytime soon?
If samsung is gonna hold longer than this then I'll deal with Froyo myself.
official Froyo update for JG4 was released yesterday November 19. Philippines

That's the way to do it, forget waiting on Optus etc to release anything.
I don't see what they shall bring to the table, Optus apps woopie do already got them & APN info etc from backups.
Only interest I have is to see what radio they use, however JPP is working well here so far.
Honestly, Optus doesn't have the man power anymore to go performing miracles like they did prior to Singtel taking over. The Optus geek pit on the 21st floor in North Sydney is RIP. I'd hate to see whom is in charge of doing the firmware releases these days. Guaranteed it's a clueless monkey or it is contracted out to another mob to save $ for Singtel
I'm from singapore, and i haven't get Froyo yet. ):
DXJG4.
Check your Kies, singapore's JPA is out
How about Malaysia? Froyo out yet?
Also can someone running stock dx post their CSC, modem and PDA codes so I can flash mine back and do the official kies update?

[q] help with official jb 4.1.4 firmware

There is no JB update available for Note yet, the information in that link is incorrect.
And it's mentioned in the same link that it's 4.0.4
"Select files that you have to flash or install on your phone, files found from the extracted files after download of Android 4.0.4 N7000 XXLRU"
I don't think that software was really jellybean. As far as I know there is no official jelly bean update for N7000 yet. If I was you I wouldn't flash it, go with an unofficial build in android development section. As for language, you can select on boot so shouldn't matter, but I would still stay away from this '4.1.4 leak'
Edit: was beaten to it ^^ as jeetu1981said ^^

I'll be brave and try it out. YOLO? lol
I'll be brave and try it out guys, backing up my phone as we speak, I'll update you with screenshots if it actually works.
Hopefully this won't brick my phone (I've fixed quite a few bricked phones in the past so I should be alright)

Didn't get to flash the rom. After the download finished, I extracted file and found out they've got the wrong files for odin..not even the right files for flashing through cwm
True that

Yes, I do understand the consequences, but I just wanted to try it out since no one seemed to have tried it yet and see if the leak is legit. If all else fails I'll just claim insurance for it.
Already such experiment was made with
Odin
CWM
Mobile Odin
Nothing was useful, and this kind of thread already burried 2 days ago.
seems to be an OTA update?
there's none ever official JB release yet. I bet Official JB would come perhaps early next year.. I doubt it'll be primed for this year as there's still too much devices that needs to be upsold and marketed (with official stock JB already, e.g. Note 2). Once the new stocks are being sold in the mainstream... then that will be the time the official JB would be released.

firmware backup

Hi,
First of all here are my specs...
S5830
Android: 2.3.3
Baseband: S5830XWKPA
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-perf-CL561786
[email protected]#1
Build: GINGERBREAD.XWKPY
I want to flash this rom from sammobile which I beleive should work with my phone
Model Country/Carrier Date Version PDA CSC
GT-S5830 United Kingdom / Ireland 2011 September Android 2.3.6 S5830XWKPY S5830XEUKP1
but before I do I would like to backup my existing rom in the same format as this rom so I can flash through odin.
I found this page on the wiki for backing up your rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/How_to_backup_Original_ROM but its not in the same format as the downloadable roms. Can I flash this through odin? or how can I backup my rom like the downloads from sammobile?
I just want a backup so I have something to fall back on should I need to.
Thanks
First of all. The rom you are trying flash is very old. New firmwares are more stable. Try a rom which was released this year. I wonder why you want to backup the original rom, its old. Anyway, just backup stuff using cwm, search for your current firmware of sammobile and download it. If you want to return back to original firmware, flash the firmware via odin and restorethe cwm backup.
reply
Hi, thanks for the reply.
There is no official rom higher than 2.3.6 for this phone, I'm guna flash cyanogenmod at some point when I get a bit more time but for the time being I just wanted to flash official 2.3.6. Am I wrong in thinking the CWM needs a rooted phone to work? or will this feature run on unrooted phones?
thanks
Try the Spanish Rom XWKTQ.. And i'm sure you'll love it.. Almost Bug free and really fast..

CWM needs a rooted phone.
About the firmware. Yes the highest android version is 2.3.6, but new firmwares have more features and more stable. Flash XWKTQ.

thanks for that

Just 1 quick question, just want to double check, aslong as its XW*** or another uk rom can I just flash it, because i was under the impression you cant flash roms from other countries unless its rooted?
thanks

If your phone is operator specific then flashing rom from different countries might cause problems. If your phone is unlocked and you can use it with any operator then no problem. You can flash any rom.
reply
ah ok, mine is on o2 uk but it was bought from phones4u so it should already be unlocked, so thats good to know. There doesnt seem to be any o2 branding on the phone so i'll have a play when I get sum spare.
cheers
But still, just try using a sim from some other operator and see if it works. If it doesnt, your phone is operator specific.
yeah, will do,
thanks

[Q] New stock rom source?

Hello guys,
I wanna go back to a german stock rom as well as my black needs to go to service.
Unfortunately, the major or only source for LG stock roms that I am aware of and which is given here in several threads is off (...lg-phone-firmware.com...) would actually post the entire link if I could
So do you know if there is another one? Specifically I am after the German 1&1 branded stock - so if someone please could help, that be fantastic! THanks!
CHeers,
cesar
csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=IMEI&model=LGP970&country=ID&region=A
Replace "IMEI" with your IMEI number, it should give you a download link of the latest software available for your region.

You can simply do a "Notfallwiederherstellung" (emergency recovery) in the B2C tool. Then it should flash the latest version available for you to your phone, cause you have to enter IMEI and SN. But do a factory reset afterwards

[Q] Confused about firmwares/county

Hi
Optimus rookie time. I have tried to understand from the faq but no one has answered this specifically that I can see. I'm in Australia, I have got an O4X from Kogan. It has arrived and has lots of Asian menu's, I have no idea if Taiwan, China or Singapore perhaps so far. It has lots of apps with 'hama' in the names if that helps. This is what is listed in about phone:
Software version: LG-P880-V10d-OCT-16-2012
Build number: IML74K
Baseband version: L6260_MODEM_SIC_02.1216.01
Kernal: 2.6.39.4
I would like to try JB, I get some people hate it, some say it is ok. If not, back to ICS or CM. Which JB firmware do I go for, the euro version or must I get the right regional version for my phone?? If so, can anyone tell what is is or is all that is important is v10d?
Thanks for any advice
Hi. I also got my 4X from Kogan, so I've been through the issues you've mentioned.
First thing I did was update to 4.1.2. I didn't spend any time with ICS, so I can't comment on differences - I WANTED JB and that was that! :cyclops: To update to 4.1.2, I used the LG update software – info about this procedure is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723
To check which version of the LG software to use, I used this URL: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=
You need to put your IMEI (from Settings / About phone / Phone identity) in the url after "?esn=", and it returns the URL of the software you should download to update your phone. That told me to use the Taiwan version - I don't know if others (eg Europe) are compatible with our hardware - would be interested to hear!
2nd step was to root the phone (as an Aussie, you need to ignore the obvious sexual joke in that phrase!) – I used the instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180688 with some help from the better English at http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-root-lg-optimus-4x-hd-android-4-1-jelly-bean.html [NB – the comment below this points out some errors].
The next step was to install Titanium Backup and use it to remove all the non-English apps. I had no problems with that step, so whatever they are, they're not critical.
G'day, nice one. Will look into links later. Appreciate the reply
Thinking about this a bit more, if you only want to flash the "official" (Taiwan, in your case) updated firmware for your phone, you can use the LG Update tool "as is". The instructions in my earlier post can be used to flash other versions and a lot of people seem to be using the Euro 20A. I'm out of my depth here though, so hopefully someone else can confirm:
Can any version (ie any country) firmware be flashed onto any 4x?
Ok, all done. Running jelly bean fine. Think it better than ics, using iodak kernel. Thanks for help. If anyone comes across this thread, when flashing to jb using kdz, the 100‰ battery is essential before flashing
