WARNING: Internal SD content will be erased
To begin with go here and download the ROM of your country/region
Secondly download smartflash and drivers from here and install them
Now run SmartFlashTool_P990.exe
Turn the phone off,remove the battery and connect the phone to pc via usb while holding down the vol.down button.
Now you should be able to see the software upgrade screen, and COM port of smartflash will change automatically.
Now in smart flash select "ROM Copy D/L"
Make sure that "Normal Mode" is checked and "Erase Cal" is NOT checked
In AP Bin click browser and select the (BIN) file
In CP Bin click browser and select the (FLS) file
Click start, sit back and wait
I'll try to remember next time that I return to stock rom record it and upload it
Here is the video I said i would record
Yes i do it many time and works very good.
The flash take about 7 minutes
I. Thought you had to nvflash to put stock rom back on device? Or is that just if the phone is bricked?

Hello,
Sorry for my english.
Yesterday, i want to flash the new 606 baseband on my LG O2X.
I use smartflash but i was wrong in using this program.
I have cheked the box "Erase CP" and now my O2X does'nt find the network. My phone send "carte incorrect" or "No network".
My SIM work in another phone and another SIM work in my phone.
I try to flash all the other baseband like 208, 318 or 405 but each time the problem is the same, i have no network.
I don't know what to do.
Thank you.

I do with several time it always die at 50% with message "time out error" how to solve this problem ?.
You can't use the app Rom Manager to do this?
Nice the tutorial and video!!
Big Help...
Thanks!!
1. Phone must be rooted and have CWM recovery installed
2. Download Rom of choice and place on internal sdcard
3. Make sure all LG drivers and software are removed from computer
4. Install LG Flash Tool
5. Install Drivers
6. Remove phones battery, sim, and sdcard
7. Hold volume + button while plugging in phone (keep holding volume + until phone is recognized)
8. When asked for location of drivers choose the correct location (this will ask twice) Should be C:\Program Files\LG Electronics\LG Android Driver
9. Right click on My Computer and select manage
10. Click on device manager
11. Click on ports and then right click on the phone port and select properties
12. Click on tab for ports settings and click on advanced
13. Change port to 41 and click ok
14. Unplug phone from computer
15. Run LG Flash tool by selecting the alternate .exe file
16. Select the appropriate .dll file and select the appropriate .fls file for the S/W, select the USB button for connection mode, click ok
17. Select the picture up top that looks like a printer cable and select port 1, click OK
18. Click on the yellow arrow up top and make sure port 1 says ready
19. While holding your volume + button, plug in your usb cable and hold volume + until port 1 shows some activity
20. Process should run until 22% and then say failed. Choose the red circle with a minus sign to exit.
21. Unplug USB from phone and insert battery, sim, and sd card.
22. Boot phone and after booted power down.
23. Boot into CWM recovery and wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, install zip from sdcard, choose zip from internal sdcard, select Rom. Reboot system and enjoy.
Hopefully this simplifies things for those of you that are trying to get Gingerbread installed. If you need screen shots for certain parts I will try to help out.
Watch Video and follow steps above "http://youtu.be/ExwoHC5pOiQ"
To get back to stock just use the V10e .fls file and then load the stock rom from CWM recovery.
For factory stock try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1270832 after the baseband is restored
Files you will need to Flash Baseband from Froyo to Gingerbread and Back http://www.mediafire.com/?c2i2f4c9sz8u8z2
Froyo baseband for Brazil below. Might help users not getting signal in Canada or Latin America.
Just for the record, I'm not taking credit for anything other than just putting the information already out there into simple step by step directions that I used.

Did you use superoneclick to root it? And do you have cwm? If you do odds are your rooted! Btw I'm loving GB super fast and smooth. I'm using coh'a lite rom instead of the Acura one the only problem I have with it is that Swype keeps force closing so I had to install some other swipe keyboard from the market, but its not a bad tradeoff

i have been having trouble with step 16
can you clarify on what i have to do for the step with lg flash tools and were to find the correct files
If I update the baseband and use this method to flash an O3D GB rom and dislike it, will I be able to use a nandroid backup to go back to a useable state?
tl;dr - Will a nandroid restore reverse the baseband change?

Thanks for getting me in the right area guys. Sorry, wasn't trying to cause any problems.
I have tried the one click version with mt and it never took. Mt even tried doing it for me. I have enabled debugging and dollars each step to the last detail.
I have also tried superoneclick with no success on the install. I'm unaware of how to do it manually.

What method of root did you use? And check your app drawer for revo tool kit then you need to download the clockwork mod recovery check what recovery you have if it isn't the 4.0.0.2-pr1 then you need to click on to install that if it didn't go through the first time keep trying but do not reboot after it says it successfully installed hit the menu soft key And reboot in to recovery once you are in there make a back up by going to the backup And restore part And choose back up after you should wipe your data by going to format system INSIDE CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY not from inside your phone settings for gingervolt you need to put the zip on your external sd card so that means not the one that says internal place it on the root ( main portion) not in folder then reboot into recovery (if you had to boot to put ginger volt on your sd) the same way as before then go to install zip from sd card choose the gingervolt zip nitty the install update.zip option select yes let it install then reboot.. Also in clockwork recovery you use to volume keys to navigate up And down And the power button to select

Am I supposed to download these items with my phone or when it is hooked up to my computer? I used allinoneclick by my. Worked great. I am an extreme noob with this so thanks for walking me through these steps. I do not have the tool kit in my apps

If you rooted with mts all in one click that has cwm sticking just go into it manually. I always download everything to the phone directly makes it easier for me.
How do I get into clockwork mod? I installed and hit recovery. Whenever I hit the menu key, the more option is not there. I'm so confused

Best way to check you have cwm download revotool kit and check that way. If it says you have it then you can reboot from revo toolkit.

Its been a while since I have been in the toolkit. There should be a button somewhere that says check recovery or something like that. You could go to the revo toolkit page and look at what the OP put on there sorry I can't really help to much on that.
Hello people, I have a LG Optimus 2X for long a time. But now I want to change my ROM and I want to try DjangoManoucheX (all ready downloaded it, version 1.6.1. 30b) and downloaded too a recovery (TWRP) but now I don't know how too do it. Can anyone point me a tutorial or teach me how to do it? Regards.
PS. Sorry my poor English but I am Portuguese.
There's a more recent version (1.6.5), I'd suggest you to get that one, it works better for me.
First make sure you have all the apps and all backupped, as everything will be wiped off your device. In TWRP, tap on Install button, select the DjangoManoucheX ROM you uploaded, select DO A FULL WIPE on the first screen, then follow the instructions. You can leave everything as defaulty selected, only change anything if you're sure that you need it differently. Then the ROM will install itself, on the last screen click finish, your device will reboot into the new system. Wait a minute or two after booting in, as the fresh system needs a little time to settle. Tell me if you need any more help.
Well I am find trouble installing TWRP, I am fallowing this tutorial:
1. Download and place the Recovery Image on the Desktop of your PC.
2. Install the Android Terminal Emulator App on your smartphone.
3. Connect your phone to your PC using the USB cable that came with it.
4. Transfer the Recovery Image to the root folder of your phone’s SD card. It is the topmost folder.
5. After the file transfer has been completed, disconnect your phone from the PC.
6. Open Android Terminal Emulator App on your smartphone.
7. Type in the following commands in the terminal:
su
cd /sdcard
dd if=recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7
8. Reboot your smartphone using the Power button.
When I tape the commands on Terminal Emulator it`s says error no space left on device. Any help?
Cheers
Use AIO Toolkit from development section, it has all the instructions to install TWRP, it's a much easier method.
you have to connect it with apx mode (pull battery, press both volume buttons while you plugging in the USB cable) . are you rooted already on new bootloader?

I would say then to get rid of that app and install back stock ICS camera, and/or search for a camera app with panorama function. I included the original LG camera app here if you want it (it's from the ROM, so all credits go to LG and Carburano). Doesn't this have panorama function btw? I haven't used it.
I found you this free app with panorama function:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=panorama.activity
Or use CameraZoomFX (although it's paid).
I hope I could help!

you have to move it to system / app folder with root browser or anything like that, then change the permissions to r-w-r-r (long press the file, permissions and only tick these in this order). it will be installed automatically then.

first pic is the root of your phone where you can find system folder, navigate there, you can find app folder inside, that's where you have to copy CameraApp.apk. Long press on it then the rest of the pics show how to change permissions.
