Hi, i was thinking of updating my LG 2X from froyo to ICS. It is currently running CM7 and the previous stock rom was froyo. If i am not wrong the standard procedure is to use AIO (all in one) tool kit and flash kdz. I also understand that ICS uses a different partition layout. So is it okay for me to flash the V30B_00.kdz straight? I am guess it does the partitioning for me? Just wanted to be sure before proceeding. Many thanks in advanced.

Hey guys,
So I recently just got my USB Jig to get my phone out of softbrick (after realizing newer build models cannot use Odin One-click..)
I have a 1107 build, so what can I do to revert it back to stock? Odin won't work for me, and I just want to ultimately flash a custom ROM on it. Should I flash GB bootloaders first or what?
Thank you.
you can use anything except one click for Jf6 by design gears...u can flash GB bootloader...no problems...
Which stock are attempting to return to?
Anything really. I was on ECLAIR before. (On a Rogers phone)
I just want to get out of the soft brick (cellphone--!--computer) to flash MIUI or CM7.
I bricked it by trying to flash the AT&T bootloaders.
Then look through development and pick a stock package. Flash that, then try to apply whatever custom ROM you want. But, if you want GB bootloaders, flash those before flashing MIUI/cm7.
Is there anything I can use to flash stock packages without using Odin? I have a new build number and Oneclick will only brick it again.
How do you feel about Heimdall?
Thank you for your quick responses, I really appreciate it.
I will use this guide to try Heimdall: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113195
Would you have a suggestion on what particular stock ROM I should revert back to? I don't really care for any particular bootloaders at this point in time.

depends what kind of custom rom u want to flash later...
If u want to flash CM7/MIUI, then flash to any stock eclair/froyo or Att GB bootloader...
if u want to flash ATT GB roms, then pick any stock GB bootloader from the sticky thread in development section..I personally used Adam outler's one click heimdell stock to KH3
if u want to flash i9000 based GB roms, then flash i9000 GB bootloaders....
Can I use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1266172 to revert back to stock FROYO?
Actually I should try using Heimdall's One-Click Unbrick first..
edit: Heimdall's One-Click does not recognize my phone in Download mode (after plugging in Jig and then plugging it into computer) or in soft-brick screen.
Will proceed to use Heimdall's One-Click Total Stock
edit: seems like Heimdall's One-Click Total Stock doesn't work either. Computer cannot recognize phone. Help please?
edit: Did Total Stock again on a Windows computer, successful flashing!
Heimdall uses different drivers did you install those?

Yup it is all good now. I am now on FROYO now. Going to proceed to try and flash CM7 on it for the first time. Thanks guys!
OK, so I ran through all the guides and searched through what feels like a thousand posts. Here's my problem. I want to flash ICSSGS. Every guide I've read says I need to flash back to stock 2.1. I'm currently on the UCKK4 GB update. I used ODIN one click to flash back to 2.1, but couldn't get into download mode using any method (excluding JIG). So I used Kies to upgrade back to UCKK4. I can now get into download mode again. Can I just flash the bootloaders and a custom kernel from GB instead of being on Froyo?
No need to flash the bootloaders, you have the gingerbread ones thanks to kies, they work worth EVERYTHING so you do not need to ever flash bootloaders again.aahs i digest you don't, Cause flashing those is the only tine you cab hard brick.
Flash corn kernel with Odin right now on gingerbread, then boot into recovery factory reset and format /system, and flash the ics ROM twice. Bingo bango you're done.
Thanks. I'm just switching from a Sony X10 so things are a little different here. Every guide said start at 2.1 so I didn't think i could flash from GB. I want to try ICS, but the X10 builds are still alphas.

Most of the guides on here are getting dated. But for the Captivate, once you have gingerbread bootloaders you can flash pretty much anything from anything. Exceptions would be Cyanogenmod.

some people have reported that gingerbread bootloaders work with Cyanogenmod
He meant flash from CyanogenMod or any other MTD ROM to BML ROM
Again, thanks for the info. Maybe I'll write an updated guide after I get accustomed to this phone and ODIN. Flashtool for the X10 definitely spoiled me.

I have successfully flashed about 10 roms while having gb boot loader they include 2-3 version of cm7, two version of miui rom , and many more gb boot loader can run any older or newer rom on captivate no need to downgrade bootloader
I'm a quick learner. I just switched over from a Sony X10 that was running a MIUI rom. My wife bought an iPhone so I took over her phone. I'm still learning the ins and outs of the captivate and how it works. I'm loving this phone. It's capable of so much more than the X10. I'm also loving this ICSSGS rom. It's smooth as butter.

Hi,
I had trouble rooting my Koodo Gingerbread P970g and installing a custom ROM.
So what I did was use the KDZ Flasher and flashed it to a stock ROM that I could root properly, if I recall right I used the European V20N stock ROM and rooted that. Then I installed ClockWorksTouchMod, then tried both Marvel 8 and Zeus 6.22 and they both worked great!
Stuck with Zeus 6.22 but this post may help you get a custom ROM on your Koodo P970g.
Were you running stock 2.2 originally or the factory ptovided 2.3.4 update?
Phone had the 2.3.4 Update
Phone had the 2.3.4 Update
I'm with koodo as well. I used smart flash with the
bin/fls files which i think is the easiest method. Then i decided i wanted to go back to the koodo stock Rom, tried going through LG update but caused it to go into bootloop. So i got the kdz file and tried the cwm image inject process along with kdz updater and although it takes a little more concentration it worked great for me to get root access on the stock Rom of MY specific carrier. Just thought id share my experience and I'm back to Zeus only because there are 0 options for kernels with stock gb Rom

Hello, I'd like to update my phone using Smartflash.
I have an official V20B rom which is rooted. I would like to install a new official rom but i'm completely lost when it comes to choosing the right version !
Where can I get the official V20S stock rom (which can be installed with smartflash)
Also, is there any official ICS rom ? (same, for smartflash), if so, is it fully stable ? Where can I get it ? (LG Mobile update says my phone is up to date... Huh)(I have read that you need to change the boot partition or something like that with ICS roms, is it valid for official ICS roms from LG too ?).
Do I have to unroot my phone before installing a new rom with Smartflash ?
Thanks.

1. Make sure that you have P990.
2. V20B should be a gingerbread.
3. If you read one post below yours, you could’ve find exactly what you ask official ICS for smartflash.
Cheers.

I actually have V10B sorry !
I will update via LG Tools with the kdz instead of smartflash. Is there anything to do specifically to keep my data in the phone or is it saved automatically in the LG Tools update process ?
Thanks

I think updating via LG Tool doesn't erase data on your phone... however I would strongly advise you to synchronize your contacts with gmail and backing up you apps with titanium backup in an external sd card.
Update via LG Tool didn't erase my data when I went from 2.2 to 2.3

Yes, flashing kdz do not wipe anything.

How can I revert my LG 2X back to stock? Currently running CM10 with the new bootloader. I have found multiple threads about this but I'm afraid to brick my phone because there all outdated.
Can someone provide me with a step-by-step guide thats more up-to-date?
Thanks very much.
Well you won't get that kind of guide, cuz only small part of users still using p990 (my guess) got back to stock, so all the guides are a bit outdated but shouldn't brick your device. Saying it short, use the old guides

Easy method:
Use smartflash to install an old baseband like 20S. Then use LG update tool to flash the latest stock for your region. Alternate, use AIO tool to flash both baseband and stock. You will need to download .kdz file and extract it to fls and bin file in AIO tool prior to flashing. Fls are baseband and bin are the rom
