[ROM] [STOCK] CUBE / CUBE_lean_v2 (root) | v20g-2.3.3
DISCLAIMER: I'm not responsible if anything happens to your phone. Use this at your own risk.
Based on stock v20g, but recovery flashable. Will not update your baseband. Works only on the new baseband.
There are two versions
CUBE - 100% equal to stock.
CUBE_lean - stripped down and rooted.
Important:
Do not upgrade from Froyo to any of these ROM, you won't have GSM/UMTS then.
If you already have the new baseband you can use this.
If you do not have the new baseband you can not use this.
Do not use LGMDP to flash this ROM.
FAQ:
Q: Oh no! Yet another gingerbread ROM?
A: This is not yet another, it is the stock one, just in different packaging.
Q: And why do i need that again if there is a stock ROM already?
A: If you do not want to flash via lgmdp but rather use your already existing clockwork mod recovery.
Q: What's the problem with using lgmdp?
A: It flashes more than you need if you just wanted to downgrade. And it flashes "dangerous" areas of the phone making it more prone to create a brick.
Q: Mobile data is not working after flashing this rom. What now?
A: Go to settings and set the APN manually. Consult google for your operator settings.

So i stil need to pre install original GB over froyo to test this? Or this is it?
Why this ROM??
Adds no value at all. You have to flash original ROM to get use this ROM. And this is original ROM

Yes. If you already have the original GB, then you have no use for this. If you've gone further and flashed a custom GB rom and now want back again without flashing anything vie lgmdp: this is for you.
Just flashing this zip "ALONE" via recover will get me lg based gingerbread? :O
If so its cute... Dnt temme I need to flash the baseband before flashing this thing

No it won't. This won't upgrade your baseband. You need a new baseband already. This ROM is when you don't want to flash the baseband again to get back to stock.
It's confusing ... I m on Mick's CM7- 6.5.5. Can I just flash the zip file as normal to upgrade to this ROM?

Mik's CM7-6.5.5 is using the old baseband. So you can't.
I think i'm gonna clarify this a bit better in the first post.

this kind of posts should not be here, this is ROM doesn't give anything to the comunity, this should to be moved to general o another section.
This is actually pretty useful. I was wanting to go back to the stock GB kernel/ROM (having too many issues with the custom ones), but I didn't want to go through the whole ordeal of using LGMDP again. Thanks for this.
You also need lgmdp to change the baseband, so its ridiculous

It can't be flashed without a computer. It needs KDZ/LGMDP.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
I'm curious. Has somebody already used the provided ROM and had success flashing and running it?
I wasn't able to flash via LGMDP, for some reason it kept going into fastboot.
I flashed this and everything is perfect.
All you hating should just shut up. This helped me a lot.
Thank you.
BTW - rooting doesn't work and the APN's and settings and bookmarks and everything are from a different carrier, not mine.
Weird but... whatever.
I just want it rooted. Anyone that can help?
Why would you want to use this?
Install gingerLOL which is rooted and cleaned. Its still slow because its still based on official crap but certainly faster than this.
I think is useful enough...
You have to use lgmdp tool just once ,not again and again to change from v20g to v20c or other downgrades,just flash this rom and then flash any official gb rom you want instead of using lg tool again...
But if you want to flash a froyo rom then you have to use lg tool again....
All these if i understand good,
Or not????

my 10 day old galaxy s is very laggy!!! it is rooted too.. can anyone help me please and can someone tell me how do i unroot... i rooted with chainfire's cf-root.. thanks
If you find it laggy now, unrooting it would probably be the wrong step to take, as root is required for the majority of modifications you can do to your phone.
Overclocking your phone will provide you with more performance. I would also recommend checking out Pikachu01's scripts, as they will help immensely. Also, make sure none of your apps are monopolizing your CPU in the background.
I'm sure others will have a ton more advice to give. Tweak your phone to work how you want it and you'll be more than pleased, I guarantee it. My SGS certainly does not lag on me, but it did take a little tweaking to get it there. Good luck!
If you want someone to help you, you need to provide more information. What version of firmware are you currently running?

My friend also said his lagged after rooting, there is a unrooting script
Just download Semaphore or TalonDEV kernel AND Thunderbolt scripts that you need.
Unrooting shall accomplish nothing. You need a new kernel and scripts/tweaks like Thunderbolt has.

NO i don't want to unroot but i want to know if there is a possibility to do it... I son't want to flash other kernels because my phone is 10 days old (11)) i just want it to become like when i purchased it.. thanks you guys for your support and your time...
You won't lose your warranty because of root. Samsung does not care if phone is rooted or not. Just like the others say : download a custom firmware with custom kernel and use pikachus thunderbolt scripts.
This is the only way to help you
To unroot you just have to flash the stock firmware that came with your phone (you can see a list in SamMobile site). Easier way if you just want to unroot is to flash stock kernel (unrooted one).
If you just want to phone to its original state when you bought it. Then power it down. Then hold power, home, and volume up all together. This will put you into recovery mode. Do a wipe data, wipe cache, then go to advanced and select wipe dalvik cache. Then reboot your phone. If you're still not satisfied with your phone then also reformat your internal usb under settings> storage. You will lose all info on your phone so do a back up of important data. This is where root is good because you can use titanium backup. After reset your phone will however still be rooted.... But you won't be even close to unleashing the real full potential of your phone unless you upgrade your firmware and kernals with Thunderbolt.

Gingerbread has always been laggy due to lack of ram. If you want a really good and absolutely lag-free rom, I really recommend that you flash your phone to Froyo 2.2.1 (ZSJPK). It has been the best rom I've used, compared to JVT, JVZ, AOSP ICS roms, and a bunch of other custom roms.
Agree about GB, its best if you remove all the Samsung bloatware and services, and try not to use apps that use up RAM via services.
I use stock jvt with all the bloat removed, a nice theme, and semaphore 2.4.0 bm and it runs very well. I do have to freeze facebook when not in use, but it makes a difference. I also tuned ext4

Well why don't you flash a custom rom, there are plenty of them with amazing speeds and you shud try them, also you can simply use a lag fix like the one from voodoo if you don't want to get into the rome and stuff.
another question guys.. i have 2.3.3.. i tried to update ( through kies) but it says i'm up to date.. because the thunderbolt kernel requires minimum 2.3.4, how do i update it???
Hi all,
I have European Version of the Galaxy Tab 8.9 P7310 Wifi only.
I at least waited for the official Stock ICS Update to finally go and root my phone now. My first impression is that I made my life a little bit harder now.
As is can see so far in the forum there is only the possibility to flash CWM recovery from odin and after that go root as described in suwandiapr thread here:
**NEWEST P7310 ICS FOR USA RETAIL**[STOCK ROM]GT-P7300/P7310 odin image at One Place
Now I have a few questions. Can I use this method described in the thread for my European Galaxy Tab as well?
Can I use a CWM 6.0.0.8 file to flash with odin? Or only the versions shown in the thread?
Should be possible to unpack the "recovery.img" from a flash file prepared to be flashed from recovery, right? For example the one in the TOOLKIT thread from nirogu325 that is inside the Toolkit package
[GUIDE & TOOLKIT][8.04.12] One-stop Guide for 7300/7310
Finally, is there a possibility to flash root file from stock ics recovery. Becaus only possibility if have in stock recovery is to choose option "apply update from external storage" and when I choose this option the phone will show me "E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard]" and I have no access to my data in /sdcard folder.
Thanks for your replys.
Feels like people aren't searching....
I answered similar question yesterday...
I would recommend to use the stock ICS file for Odin flash. If you want, you can follow that up with an Odin-flashable recovery & a root.zip flashed from recovery.
see e.g.
Odin-flashable recovery (I still prefer the slightly older 5.1.2.6 - for a more complete and logical menu than 5.5.0.4; and more reliable than 6.x)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30839339&postcount=52
for root package:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30837767&postcount=47
Edit, to answer your other questions.
- There is no Odin package for cwm 6.0.0.8, so you can't use that directly over stock ICS.
- you can not use stock ICS recovery to flash anything at all, no root.zip, no nothing. Reason is that it does not mount sdcard correctly
- all of this will work on p7300/7310 of any region
Sorry fred_be9300, I searched a lot before opended this thread. Maybe not good enough, but I just want to get sure that I do everything correct before bricking my device.
So, thanks for your answers, this helped me to be completly sure what I have to do.
I sucessfully flashed the CWM with ODIN and after that installed the root.zip from CWM Recovery.
It was easier than I thought before, verything worked fine for me. Now I´m happy with my rooted Stock ICS for the moment and hoping for some more cool custom roms!
Thanks a lot!

Probably whatever was the first root package you tried, has messed things up. It may be preventing the other packages from installing properly.
It might work to run an unroot package to clean up; not tested that myself.
I vouch for the success of installing ICS + CWM5.1.2.6 + kk_root_ics. Try it clean, if nothing else works.

Wow you really picked up an oldie!
I would recommend you move on to a newer ics *for p7300* though. The one you are on now, was ported in August, from the initial p7500 (tab 10.1) ics release. When used on p7300, it tends to give battery miscalibration issues after one or several charge cycles. The thread you linked is full of the complaints.

Hi Guys,
I am a Galaxy S user. My Galaxy S was bought in Finland and still running (basically stuck with) Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU). The phone's hardware is just fine (except slow GPS) but it has become paninfully slow and sometime shutting down/restarting on it's own.
Is it a good idea to reset the existing GingerBread 2.3.6 or get a different ROM?
I am a total novice and have not tried any other ROMs on it. I did some research about the alternative ROMs but there are so many options it made me really confused.
Could you guys suggest any stable and fast option for my Galaxy S i9000?
Also, if you could guide how I could migrate to that particular ROM from present Gingerbread, it would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance for your support and for this great forum.

Hi,I'm not going to be much help as I'm a noob myself but I can say I had same stock laggy gt 19000 which through like u said a lot of confusion about rooting and ROMs researching XDA and YouTube you can do it my galaxy s is like a new phone so stick with it,one tip is always stick to you model and kernel version and write things down and I hope it goes as well as it did for me. Btw I used Odin 3.1 and clockwork to root and Flashed ROM with Cm 10.1 stable.

if you want to stay to 2.3.6 you can just factory reset your phone
Try this
Shut your Android Galaxy S down (Power off) or remove Battery.
Now press Volume up, Home and Power together.
If the Samsung Symbol is coming up leave the Home Button.
Then there is a boot Menu
Volume Up and Down to Navigate , Home to select the chosen option. ( factory reset )

if you want to upgrade to ICS or JB rom
root your firmware , choose the right cf-root from this thread

Thank you mistrp74 and The Tox for the help.
I am still a bit confused, I cant seem to locate the right cf-root [Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU)] from the thread you mentioned.
One more thing, how is your experience of running the Custom Roms, is it much better than the Samsung Firmware? Does all the function work fine?
I will need a bit of spoon feeding in the beginning for the update... as I have never tried it before and I am scared of bricking my phone.
So, please don't give up on me

The right CF-Root is in the seond to last post on the first page I believe- if you can fnd the one for XXJW4, the one you need is right above it
Custom ICS/JB roms are definitely smoother in many ways, although bear in mind because stock Jelly Bean don't include them, both FM Radio and 3G video calling won't work by default (two features of stock roms, I guess AllShare is another if you use it like me). Otherwise every other function is stable and rock solid. Except for the CM10.2 builds, which are still in an initial stage, the JB roms here should have everything working fine.

I finally managed to do it.
I installed the CF-Root without any problem but RemICS-UX v1.3.1 (Team Remics) didn't load. It was stuck at the boot screen.
I thought I bricked my phone... but then I installed Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU) using Odin and then installed plain vanilla ICS 4.0.3
Coming from Ginerbread 2.3.6 I find a lot of new things and the phone is also snappy and responsive... my old Galaxy S is acting almost like a new phone! So I am really happy.
Now that I am familiar with the process I am confident to tryout other ROMs...
I would like something simple, lightweight and fully-functional/bug-free.
So please let me know if there is any other better ROM I should try.
Thanks again guys!

Just one more question, what's your backup strategy that you guys use?
Or else it a lot of work to update each and every app... one by one... also what about the SMS, call log etc?

Because I'm a person who 1.) doesn't use too many apps and 2.) tries to be as economical as possible, I don't have a large amount to backup. My contacts and calendar are always through Google, and for SMS I use SMS Backup and Restore on Play Store. Call log I don't keep, because I'm not a person who really cares for call logs. I only have one other app, Colornote, and that's cloud-synced as well.
Everything else I need is in internal storage :3

More or less similar situation as TS
Hey guys,
Im in a more or less similar situation as the topic starter. My Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 has gotten slow and unresponsive with time.
I would like to update to a custom ROM, and got a little curious about the Slim Bean. But I feel a little unsure about how to proceed.
I'm currently running a custom Gingerbread 2.3.3 ROM, my device is rooted. I flashed this ROM from the Froyo that came with the phone about 2 years ago. It's been so long since I flashed this, I need some directions, as Im afraid I will brick my device.
When I go to recovery mode I see it runs ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.3 - Voodoo lagfix.
Can I just put a Slim Bean 4.2 android version on my internal sd card and run "install zip from sdcard" in ClockwordMod? I would prefer to flash the latest stable version of Slim Bean, which would that be 4.2.2.build7-OFFICIAL?'
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Bootism
Best way to update from gb or even older to jb is imo the way over cyanogenmod.
Follow this tutorial for 10.1: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd
And then you can upgrade via cwm to the very good slim bean.

Thanks for the answer!
I recall reading about lots of issues with the lagfix and flashing ROMs. My file storage system is in ext4 instead of standard rfs, I think I should somehow undo this if I recall correct. Is this true?
Do you have an option to unlagfix in recovery?
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, I can choose "voodoo lagfix" in recovery.
It has the following options:
- disable lagfix
- enable lagfix (default)
- /system lagfix on (default)
- /system lagfix off
- debug off (default)
- debug on
Enter disable lagfix and reboot

Ok, so I got Cyanogenmod 10.1.0 running! so far so good
Good job. Now you can flash a zip in cwm.

Yeah, it's a whole new world opening up. Old phone runs relatively smooth, at least way better than before thanks for helping. I will stay on this Cyanogenmod for a bit and explore. Can I just flash in any of the ROMs as .zip in CWM later? I will look for a lightweight ROM for my old phone, any suggestions?
My Samsung J7 Prime doesn't have the update - Can anyone suggest how can we update it to new OS.?
Currently, I had Kitkat OS.

The J7 Prime was launched with Android 6 (marshmallow) - how can it be on KitKat 4.4 ???
Are u sure about your phone is original? U are from Pakistan? This should be G610F or G610DD.

Download the firmware for your phone model from here - http://live.samsung-updates.com/
For example here is the model F list - http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=SM-G610F
Search how to use Odin and flash the most recent.
You don't need root to do this.

1. You can try any region you want. Better install TWRP first, as described below. Choose language from settings. Region gives only some CSC (Google it) features.
2. To flash custom kernel you need custom recover, like TWRP.
3. I don't know.
4. Depends on what you want: stock with Odin, custom kernel and ROM with TWRP.
As an advice - read a lot to learn before you do anything, to be sure you understand what you're about to do. It's on your responsibility of your own actions. Every phone is unique, what works for me may give you issues. It can be the other way around too.
Best thing to be sure is to have TWRP installed, backup the EFS and the system at least. If you read about this, you'll understand why it's very important.
Then you can try to flash another ROM custom or official.
Then you can test the new ROM, see if you like it. Leave it for a few days so that the adjustment of the kernel is OK. If you don't like it, you can always go back and flash the backup ROM from TWRP.
Also you may use the Smart Switch for PC to downland the original latest firmware for your phone. Search on how to use this program.
Good luck.
thanks man. i appreciate your help.
