If I'm coming from DMod V6, do I have to perfom a factory reset to install Virginity? Or it's enough with dalvik and cache? And... I know Virginity was made for the L model, but if I install it on a standard S3 mini, what could happen? How sould I do it? Sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm really a noob and DMod has been giving me way too much trouble, reboots and stuff like that.
Thanks in advance and sorry if I'm bothering.

Just read install instruction on first post in original thread and you're fine.
Where did you read that? It's based i8190XXANA2 fw... it's a GT-I8190 firmware, not of L variant.
Anyways it doesn't overwrite your baseband, so it should also works with N/L versions.

Hi everyone, i'm currently using Nova v7 (yes V7, i was too lazy to upgrade from 7 to 8, cuz i had alot of apps installed... wtv )
My question is, how can i go from Nova v7, to GB ? without brick my OB.
i would appreciate if u could tell me in detail cuz im still a newbie on this things, like if i need erecovery, CWM or any of that.
appreciate the time spent,
best regards

If you're not from Korea theb GB isn't out yet, except CM7. You need to wait a few days for the official to come out.
And if you want CM (nightly), then flash it from CMW doing a full data, cache, dalvik wipe before flashing (maybe after too).

Connect your phone to the PC, install the LG Phone software that came with the phone, and use the software update feature. Simple as that. Please note however that GB *is not released yet* so don't ask when it will be released as nobody knows anything else other than "soon".

You can use KDZ method or LG Software Updater (B2CApp)
Remember to make full wipe before flashing or you'll get a bootloop.

but can u guys take some time and explain me in detail, step by step what i must do when android 2.3 is release for my LG OB?
im really new at this things and dont wanna brick my dear fone *.*.
once more, appreciate all the time spent helping me out
u guys are the best

Hey ruibullseye, better then asking here is if you use the search and some of your time to learn stuff. Almost all the usual OB fw upgrade/change questions are already answered in this subforum. Same for most problems you might get into. I started using android phone about a month ago. Following the forum around i can say it only took me about 5-6 hours to get familiar with the basic hacks for this phone. And also unbricking procedures and emergecy stuff, which i needed...twice. you cannot avoid it, it will happen to you at least once...
The truth is out there. Use search. ;-) if any issues, ask. But be sure to read the rules before posting.
Cheers.

Ok,since noone simplyy answers the question, i will. Even though u are right that learning by doing is still the best way... but why brick the phone? To find a way to unbrick and recover everything?
Well first i suggest u backup everything with titanium backup(can get it in store) then i first bootet into recovery, then did a full, davlic and battstats wipe, returned to menu, chose backup and restore and simply restored froyo. Then reboot and everything is fine and u can keep checking for updates. This is the procedure i chose, which surely is not the best and fastest, but the savest for me. Hope u understand my english and also have success ;-)
And sorry, because I didnt see some of the advices you gave to him, or I just found em to superficial, so I posted a guid, which as I think can even be understood by a complete NOOB
Hi everyone,
I still have Nova v7 on my Optimus Black.
But im thinking about changing to Gingerbread, and install Marvel v5.
Can someone, take some time and explain me in detail what i need to do to make that happen?
Note that my erecovery, CWM and all that stuff, is still from the time when i installed NOVA v7.
Im really a noob, on this things. i dont know what erecovery, and CWM and all that stuff are for .
another question, any way to save my games and data that are on the phone and not on SDCARD? (or do i need to format SD CArd aswell )?
Appreciate the time spent,
best regards,
ruibullseye
Read my noobguide already? If not, that s a good point to start, then come back again and tell me, whats still unclear to you

That depends, do you want official or modified ROM, like Zeus, or Echelon, or Marvel,...?

See I also have got that problem, of not being able to stay kind, but mostly (at least I hope so) I think back, how it was, when I was a total NQQB. Then I always remember, how cool it was, when some1 guided me step by step and giving me links, information, or whatever I needed... Think back of the first days of yours here... Didnt you also feel like: "WDF? WDF? WDF? What do I have to to? WDF? Dont understand...? What's that mean? Can someone explain? Am I really so much of a noob? I thought I understand a lot of computers, but now I feel like a complete idiot... How should I EVER get a custom ROM to my device? "
Those were my thoughts a few months ago... And now see all my posts, how to's and so on here... The main thing is: Stay cool, help out as good as you can, dont flame, cause 1 day you ll need help too and be thankful for a kind advice, that is being given.
So guide that man kindly to his goal (or whatever you call it) and feel happy, cause you really helped some1 out.
I just couldnt reply longer, cause I had to learn meanwhile and my traffic was full, so I had to ask my neighbor, to share his WIFI with me
and what about my data i have on my phone (not SDCARD)
anyway to retrieve that?
BTw N00B THANKS ALOT FOR ALL YOUR HELP SO FAR, and Straight answers. =D
Hope you made a nandroid, like suggested in my NOOB HOW TO... :-/ Backup everything with titanium Backup. This is gonna save all settings, game data, sms, contacts,... contacts can also be saved by syncing with googlemail, or other accounts, or you export them to the sdcard (go to contacts --> menu button --> export TO SDCARD/USIM) or with the LG app (LG Suite i think it is called).
Hope you didnt delete everything already...
Oh and there is a thanks button below the posts

Calm down. We are becoming a lazy bunch i tell ya that. Nobody wants to read. They just wants answers imidiately. That's no problem, someone will always help. What i can't stand is, never saying "thank you" people. If somebody helps you a simple thank you should be in order. Nobody gets paid for helping....
And don't forget the times you were a noob, desperately looking for help. So always help others.
Before all that READ people, You can not believe what i've learned in a month by simply reading.
just a quick question for a quick answer.
Basicly Marvel v5. its already a Gingerbread rom right?
because i was thinking that i needed to install the official 2.3 to be able to install MArvel.
No, you can directly flash marvel, zeus,... no need to up or downgrade before, except you flash a stock rom, without ext4 file support

Can someone tell me is it infintium-LBRv1.1.1 good or not?
I am using INFINITUM-v2.2... Which infintium is the best? And if i want install infintium-LBRv1.1.1 on my INFINITUM-v2.2 what then i must do? i don't know? Can someone help me please?? Sorry if i made mistake, but i am not soo good in english... thanks!
Heeeloooooo!!!
CAN SOMEONE ANSER ME ON MY QUESTION PLEASE??
It wasnt good for me, although it depends upon user to user.
For installing i would always suggest a clean instal that is wipe data + wile cache + wipe dalvik and then flash the rom.

I'd perhaps suggest asking in the roms own thread, reading other people's opinions, taking note of other people's problems that may or may not occur for you, and read in the thread. the instructions are usually there.
It is a really nice ROM. I used it for quite a long time. I got amazing battery life and performance on it.
And don't type in CAPS.

Have you done a factory reset after upgrading to jb? If not, then please do so.
As he said so, factory reset. And, get a custom kernel
I've done full wipe and factory reset after install. Is there any guide how to install custom kernel? What custom kernel gives me? Do I install custom roms with Odin? What is the fastest and the most stable rom at the moment?

Here, the all-guide to your queries.

I would suggest cocore kernel. For roms, you yourself must try one. Everybody got their own preferences. So go and find yours.
Hope this helps.
