[Q] tun.ko for LG Optimus 2x`?

Anyone who has or know if tun.ko has been ported to work on the LG 2x yet?. Its because I need the tun.ko drivers to activate a VPN connection and the 4 standards provided off the shelf is not supported .
The only way I can connect is via an app from market, but said app requires the presence of tunn.ko to work.

MoDaCo has a kernel with tun included.

I would prefer it not being a custom kernel etc . Im not really that much into flashing new roms and such until at least I have seen Gingerbread on the 2x.
So at present I am hoping for a solutuon that only requires me to push it to the phone and not flash a new rom.

Then either get it from the kernel image or ask Paul nicely to help you out.

Does this paul have name on this board.

You must be new here.
It's paulobrien. His 2X forum is at http://2x.modaco.com.

I just joined a few months ago, so no im not venerable yet . But does this paulk frequent these boards as well?.
The reason I ask is that I find it a bit excessive to register at yet another board for the mere reason of needing to contact him and enquire about that tun.ko file

Alright, let me put it this way; You wouldn't regret taking a minute to sign up for modaco.com, because his custom ROM's and kitchens tend to be for members there only. The MCR (MoDaCo Custom ROM) kitchens are famous for their easy way of choosing what you want to include and not in the ROM.
He's frequently here and on Twitter as paulobrien.

Yea I sent him a PM already on here . But for all the goodness of custom roms I have never really ventured into that realm and tried one. I meant to do it when I had my Desire and started to realise I might get Gingerbread for it. But then HTC says they would give it gingerbread so I stalled even more
And now I have the LG as well, and for what it is worth I am generally content in a a large extend with having a stock rom, albeit with some of the provided apps removed and a few tweeks and addons here and there, without going all the way.
But time will tell with the LG

It's definitely a good phone, and hopefully it will get even better. Let's cross our fingers for Android 2.3 or 2.4(?) soon.
In the meantime I can tell you that flashing custom ROM's is very easy. It's close to impossible to screw up the O2X because we have nvflash working and can overwrite all partitions easily. Nvflash is Nvidia's own tool for writing to the ROM. Paul has a guide for how to flash the latest stock ROM in the dev section here. Just beware that using nvflash will in most cases format (delete) everything including your external sdcard, but you can of course remove it first.
Better yet is to install the custom (ClockWorkMod) recovery, backup and flash a ROM from there, because then you don't have to reinstall apps+data. All data+sdcards will be intact, but system settings and any manually added apps in /system/app will be lost though.
If you decide to give it a go we are all friendly and helpful people, just do a little bit of homework yourself.

I had rooted and security offed my Desire which I have have now passed on .
My LG 2x is also equally rooted, I got CWM on it and flashed radio drivers . So I have already did some manner of mocking about with it . But is NVflash a "required" item on our phones. Because I considered installing it, but didn't thnk I really had a need for it at first.
But sadly rooting and doing such to your phone also means OTA software downloads are not possible as the phone is not detected as being the original phone anymore :/

NVFlash poses as a "last resort" if you brick your phone beyond the ability to make an adb connection. As far as I understand it, it hooks in far earlier and thus enables you to flash system partitions.
If you don't brick your phone, you probably won't need nvflash, but its a safety net to revert the phone to a stock ROM if you screw up.

Still no dice, I sent Paul a PM some days ago and not a word back :/
So is there anyone else that might be able to help, since I will assume I can't just "reuse" the version I got for my Desire

[HOWTO] Flashing OLD/NEW Baseband Using KDZ + Rooting + Installing Custom Recovery

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,
Doing a little search i found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960278
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.

Please Help...
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

And yes one more thing, even if I flash back the old stock froyo, via kdz or lgmdp, I cant get the network coverage... the guy at LG service center says there's some problem with the board... but I dont think its the board problem, is there any way to diagnose this issue or am I *ucked?

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.

[Q] Problem installing Cyanogen on Optimus 2X

Hey Guys,
Yes it is my first post on this Forum but I've been looking many thread and no one awnser correctly...(I wish im the good section for this)
So i'm trying to install Cyanogenmod on my Optimus 2X and I can't install the Clockwordmod Recovery for some reason.
Here's what I did :
1. Install LG Drivers
2. Root Phone with SuperOneClickRoot
3. Download Rom Manager
4. Flash ClockWordMod Recovery
After that it restore and BootLoop until death
The only thing I can do is remove the battery, push Volume Down and Power and the Android Recovery Manager Wipe all my data.
I also made a Video of all the steps
watch?v=vMRcYgjtf7o (I can't post Direct link since i'm a new member..)

Hello!
Can you get in the recovery system?
Did you place a copy of a downloaded CM7-ROM on your external SD card?
If yes - just go to choose .zip from SD and flash it - after that you should be good to go.
BTW: I can recommend the KANG build by koboltzz(http://bit.ly/sbUogR) - works for me and is compatible with the ironkrnL.
And don't forget you may need LG-Ril from the market since the RIL included in the CM-ROMs is always 0218 and you almost probably come from 0725 or something else - and the RIL should match your baseband - LG-Ril Version will take care of this...
Greetings
Medizinmann

No actually I can't access to the Recovery, that's the problem...
I Updated my first post with my video.
Also : What I'm suppose to do with the LG-Ril, I can see and change my Ril but everytime it say : The Ril dosent match with you Baseband...

Is your phone an Optimus 2x Wind?
Don't quote me on this but isn't that a g2x if it's a wind? Like the American one? So it needs the g2x recovery and ROMs? Or am I just talking out of my arse?
Sorry if I'm going down to the wrong road.

Now I have CM7 Nightly running.
Thank You guys for the Help.
Last question : What Rom you guys recommend for best performance and everyday use ?

I'm using miui ATM and I totally love it. The UI changes on it are quality IMO. It's completely different look and feel and that's what I really like. And that's what I wanted from a custom rom.
Check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350761&highlight=Best+rom
It's been going for quite a while now so it gives up a good idea. But those are p990 ROMs and those won't work on your phone. So might be best to see if there is similar thread in p999 forum.

I use my phone 3-4 hours a day and I would not use anything other than Cm7 with vorkkernal. Love it, battery life is good, phone is stupid fast and basically everything works.
accelerometer calibration is a bit off though? Trials 2x doesn't really work as the acceleormeter isn't sensitive enough to tilt left/right. But rotating in web browsing etc works fine.

i think your phone is p999 not p990. so that's why boot loop. i don't know if there's nvflasher for p999. i hope there's one so you can restore your phone to original.

I have the P990-hn, should I be trying to use the Nighly Build, I can only find the -stable version. As well I found CANADA FIDO BIN_LGP990hNAT-01-V21b-302-370-AUG-23-2011+0
I am going to use that to get my phone back using the ClockworkMod Recovery.

Did you wiped/format all partitions before flashing cm7 ? It's mandatory when you change totally of ROM type.
You'd better use nightly, links are on the cm7 nightly download page.
In cm7 internal sdcard is mounted as /mnt/emmc. External is mounted as /mnt/sdcard.
Last thing: the file you grabbed is not a cwm file but a smartflash one I guess....

no way you can use CWM with that version. it only can use with smartflash

Yes your right I see that now, would I be able to use that with smartflash to get my phone unbricked? What would someone suggest?

I used the nightly to no success, same old and yes I wiped the data, cache's. I am looking at using smartflash and stock ROM I found here on XDA

yes your phone will be unbricked if using smartflash like new again.

[Q] What Kernel Should I Flash? NEED HELP ASAP!

I need to flash a kernel for the stock froyo 2.2.2 on the LG Optimus 2x (LG-P990HN). I NEED to get rid of the annoying TOUCH BUG on the phone, and I heared that flashing an alternative kernel will fix the problem. For those of you who don't know what the touch bug is: when you tap on certain spots at random times the screen will become unresponsive and you have to tap harder. It's very annoying.
THANKS!

What about upgrading to 2.3.4?

Well.. I WISH I could. However the LG Update tool says I'm at the latest firmware. I'm in Canada with Fido so maybe they didn't realease the 2.3.4 update. That makes me mad because the rest of the world has 2.3.4 and is waiting for ICS. Not fair. So do you know what kernel I should flash?

Anyone know? The touchscreen is annoying the heck out of me. Any kernel I can flash, anything????

How about rooting your phone. I actually can't believe that some living person has the patients to use that awful froyo
Release. It's buggy and annoying. I lasted about 3-4 weeks before rooting my phone, I would have sold it or thrown it away if it wasn't for custom rom . And I don't believe you can change kernel without rooting it. Root saves your phone
My opinion by the way

You can't flash anything without rooting.....
And if you root, it's weird to keep the old buggy crappy Froyo.
Root wit SuperoneClick,
then install Clockworkmod recovery, and the you can flash whatever you want.

Have you checked out Spica's HorsePower 2x eXtreme 24BPP for stock MCR FROYO/GB?

Recommend reading the above thread.

Guys I am rooted! But I am hesitant to go to CM7 or alpha CM9 because I'm scared that when I backup my stock rom on Clockworkmod it won't recover. Happened on my previous phone (HTC Hero) and I was unable to return to stock. The reason I need to be able to go back to stock is becuase I might return the phone if the touchscreen bug doesn't dissapear after flashing a custom ROM. And yes I used SuperOneClick 2.2 and I might unroot it. (depending on how the custom ROM works)

It's a bug with the earlier versions of froyo. When you tap on certain areas at certain places it will be unresponsive. Most of the time it's ok but sometimes even up to 10 minutes the phone is unresponsive and you have to press everything harder.. not just a light tap. It's TRULY annoying. I want to upgrade to CM7 but I don't want to void my warranty. So I will backup the stock ROM. I just hope it recovers properly. Last time it didn't

One advice... If you're using CWM 5.0.2.0, don't rename the backup folder after you made a backup. Otherwise you'll get a MD5 mismatch and it won't recover. Learned that the hard way...
I'm not sure if this problem is also on the newer recoveries.

You can rename but without space in the name. Yes bug still present. I would recommend to use 'old' 5.0.2.7, Touch Version is too buggy.
You can backup Froyo, but even if you unroot you'll still have Recovery. The only solution would be nvflash.
Cm9 is good lol. With Ironkrnl, very fast.

I've flashed CM7! MUCH MUCH FASTER. But my phone doesn't vibrate anymore. It vibrates only for the bottom keys like home back search etc. But the vibration is weird.. its like really strong. Not the same as before. And I'm still having an issue with the touchscreen where sometimes it won't respond to my touch and I have to touch it another time . Is it because the screen has bleeds. Yellow hue at the top two right corners? Should I get it replaced? So i'll restore unroot and get rid of recovery.
EDIT: Nevermind it seems the vibrate issue is all sorted out now But now theres another problem. When I turn my phone off the Home back and search etc buttons light up and don't turn off......
EDIT: OHHH CRAPPP!!!! Can't restore the stock 2.2.2 I'm so screwed. It won't boot up. I hate my life. Any way of restoring to stock android 2.2.2? I need to return it!! DARN IT I shouldn't of ever trusted Clockworkmod! I knew it wouldn't work!

How do I get rid of Clockworkmod Recovery?
How would I got about this proccess?

The guys here are too helpful but we dont believe in XDA being a noob feeding ground.
Thanks.

[Q] I bricked my LG Thrill

I'm pretty new to this, and I didn't fully understand the whole rom, flash, kernel stuff but I did it anyway, seeing as I jailbroke my ipod when I knew next to nothing about that kinda stuff...
Well, I rebooted into recovery using rom manager, and it didn't reboot. It shut off, but didn't turn back on.. I tried to turn it back on myself and only the lg logo would appear..
So I googled what was happening to my phone. It's either in the 'boot loop' or bricked... i don't know the difference, or if there's even one but what the hell do I do to fix it? ..
I tried holding down the power, 3D and volume down button but the recovery menu doesn't come up... and I really don't wanna download any more programs to fix it :/

Im sorry but you must now have to download some programs to fix. You follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1491870
And Flash your firmware using the kdz files. If you have anymore problems feel free to ask.

This worked for me
Sorry about the phone. This worked easier for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1448803
BUT I already had .bin and .fls files on my computer, not .kdz. I suppose either way is about the same. It does feel like you are groping in the dark for a while, then it all comes together. And when you are done learning all about it you can fix all your friends' Androids for a bunch of Starbucks coffee or whatever.
:cyclops:
Also, be careful with custom recovery (CWM/TWRP); just be sure it works with your particular phone first. That's what 'bricked' mine; I had custom recovery not really compatible with the setup I have going on my Thrill and got bootloop. I had to reflash the ROM image as in above link or the one in the other poster to get out of it.

whoops
sorry guys ive been busy with work lately ill have to give that first option a go seeing as i basically have nothing left of the old system
ill update after i try it.

That last post of mine is old. This is my LG Flash Tool guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39269819
Drivers are tricky to set up the first time you try it, but Flash Tool is more reliable in my opinion.
BTW P920 and P925 are the same device. Thrill is just the US AT&T branded version (who I have never used; I unlocked mine with a Straight Talk SIM). I have a Thrill and some small numbering inside the battery cover says "P920."

update
ok i just now have the time to try to restore my phone.
id like to get it back to rooted stock ics as its sole purpose will be games/other non important junk and id like to still have the 3d.
the phone currently has no os and boot to twrp i also dont have any of my old recovery files so im essentially starting from scratch on my new laptop.
where do i go from here?
can i just download a zip or recovery and and use the restore/install feature on twrp?

Follow the guide to install rooted stock ICS by way of LG Flash Tool.

bricked lg thrill 4g
my phone is bricked the only thing it has is cwm recovery
i need to be able to get an os on it ..i dont can if it stock or rooted gb or ics i just need it done.and the above link's files no longer work... i need a no bs way to get this fixed ..any takers?
