My phone is no longer capable of making a USB connection.
Now i want to revert it to stock, i thought i did so but it turns out the stock CWM rom I installed has some mods like root and busybox.
I was wondering if it is possible to flash an older stock rom through cwm and then have the phone auto update to the newest version? I also wonder if OTA updates update the baseband?

so your phone has a usb hardware malfunction\hardware problem and you need to send it to lg for repairs?

Thats what i think will happen, I want to fully revert to stock first though and check that.
You can use this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617458
Thou it won't be a clean stock and you probably need the stock kernel for your region to be inside or it can be seen.
If connecting the phone with the battery out, vol down pressed and it still doesn't change into the flash mode you can be sure the usb is dead. (provided the cable is 100% working)
it looks like that might work.
Do you know if Q is older than R and if my phone will auto-update to R?
Status update:
* Manually installed CWM using terminal
* Followed Kag's link and installed that ROM
Rom appears to be fully stock, but I'm not getting an OTA update to v20r.
I need to be on r because q was never officially released, at least not in my country so my phone should not have it.
Any ideas for getting it updated?

Oh ,ok then . Can try this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609494 .
...And quiet an easy task too.
I managed to create 2 cmw zips myself together with the one posted here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1621016 and been using ever since .
All credits go to the devs ofc.
My 2c
I used those links to flash 10a.
But it still says no OTA updates are available.
Could it be due to CWM?

That should be due to LG server's load . Guess u could wait for it to appear, eventually, or just create a new 20R.
It looks like it's blocked on the software level and will only let you check once ever X period?
Its telling me that there is no update available without even trying to connect, the answer comes so fast.
Yes...i believe i once read about that somewhere in here.
Which baseband are you on now?
218
Thats a bugger..sorry .Dont think theres another way to update bb except from flashing.
About OTA ,doesnt work for any country.
Ill b checking on this one though as it interests me too.
I installed a bad apk (rc from a developer) and now even after uninstall and clearing the data the phone keeps on stuttering and hanging, freezing, ...
I fear a factory reset won't be enough to fix this. Also to be sure I would like to do a factory format instead.
I already tried the *2767*3855# dial code, but this doesn't work for the P880.
Anyone knows how to reflash (factory format) the ROM? But from within the phone.
Preferably not by flashing the kdz files, looks to risky to me.

What is your problem @Arne_B ?
If you're having problems with some apps or settings of the latest version, its enough when you downgrade to the earlyest one and do the factory reset.
The phone will reset everything from the latest version.
After that, you can upgrade again to the latest having a clean install, the phone will overwrite the files from the earlier version.

Its very easy to flash the phone, the thread is a little confuse cause a lot of users have different problems and doubts.
The steps are easy.
Download the "kdz-update" folder from the link on that thread
Download the FW version that you want.
Install "msxml" (from the kdz-update folder)
Run and turn ON the "Windows Enabler" (from the kdz-upload folder)
Take out the battery
Press "Vol-" and while pressing connect phone to computer untill you see on the phone screen "FW update"
Run "UpTestEX_mod2_marwin". Settings:
"Select type">>>>>>>>>>>CDMA - SmartPhone(WM)
"Work Directory">>>>>>>> The kdz-upload folder where is better to put the kdz FW files inside
"Select model.dll">>>>>>>>Choose from the kdz-upload folder ther file "X3_2008_v0.0.6.9.dll" or "P880.dll", both of them work fine
"PhoneMode">>>>>>>>>>>EMERGENCY
"Select kdz file">>>>>>>>> Choose the V10x that you download
Click on "Start Upgrade"
The program will start with the kdz file extraction, after a few seconds you'll see on the log that it start to write on the phone, thats when you need to put back the battery on the phone.
Just need to wait about 3-5 minutes and its done :victory:
The other way is using the Official tool but latest FW for Turkey is V10C soo, its useless for you...

I did install an earlier version, cleared data and uninstalled, rebooted the phone and installed the newest Play Store version (not the rc version) again but still had the problems.
Anyways, I tried to fix it manually by first uninstalling the app again. Then went to my root explorer and search in my phone (/ folder) for files related to the app name and deleted all those. Rebooted the phone, installed the latest app version from play store and for now all works well again. But didn't test the phone completely yet.

I know, but I read somewhere that LG checks your phone when flashing the Firmware, and doing it that way they know the phone was bricked due to rooting or other 'out of warranty' things..
Or am I totally wrong on this aspect?

Flashing or rooting the phone (like we explain!!!) don't brick your phone.
Forget about what you read.
And if you have some problem and need to go to LG warranty, just need to flash the phone with the Official Tool.

Plus, modifying the software doesn't void your warranty; there was some new EU ruling about that, i read it a few weeks ago. The KDZ flashing method isn't even something inofficial, as it is also used by LG. So just fix it that way.

Hi folks, I have an Xperia Z and its still stuck at 4.1.2
It's a prototype model, I've used the phone now for months and its been working great despite the lack of updates but I'm hoping it can have the latest software like the rest of the phones out there.
The bottom of the phone has C6606 written on it but the image on the screen shows C6616. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

OK, that is really very strange. You could try to contact DoomLord or Apollo89, they have knowledge of such things.
Are you rooted? Can you do a CWM Backup? I suggest having a full backup before flashing another rom. So in case you need it, you can flash it back.
I am not sure if you have the same kernel as the rest of us. If you can not do a CWM backup, and are not rooted, you need to find a way to extract the file "boot.img" from the phone. This is the kernel, which you can easily flash back. But for this operation, a bootloader unlock will most probably be necessary.
If you can get no help from Doom or Apollo and can not extract boot.img, you might need to flash hoping for luck, or stay on the firmware you have.
Disclaimer: I might be much too paranoid, after all your phone seems to have the same hardware as the normal one, and a flash of a 10.4.B.0.569 ROM should be no problem. I just don't want to be the one that did not warn you and be responsable for a broken phone...
===============================================================
EDIT: Just had a look at the thread, C6616 is bell Canada, if you had found that, you could have reported back and told us that you solved the problem.
===============================================================
thanks for the advice. I still haven't tried anything with the phone. I've unlocked and flashed the firmware on my old Galaxy Nexus which for some reason also never updated (bought directly from Bell) but this one trying to read through all the information I'm having some trouble deciding on which method to use and where to really start.
If someone has a simple tutorial on flashing these phones please do share, otherwise I might just leave it as is and by the latest Nexus when this phone's done.

sorry to sound dumb, but I can't figure out which firmware to select for my phone. Can someone please recommend a link for the correct file to flash this with? Also does it matter which generic firmware I use? I don't want to get the Bell firmware and end up with all the bloatware they have on there. I'd prefer as close to a clean firmware as possible so I can start getting the latest updates onto this phone.

I think all Generic firmwares have the same "bloatware" app in common and all carrier branded firmwares have their carrier specific apps, so just choose a generic firmware and then remove all unuseful bloatware apps (if you go root).

Any info about that error??
Why not flash to 4.3 directly with flashtool or to 4.2 and then upgrade to 4.3?
Also try a fresh install by wiping data (if you have already a backup of them of course) it maybe helps..

I've tried a couple times now to update that system update, its 10.4.B.0.569, once it starts to install it goes to the robot install logo at the startup for a second then starts the phone right away without doing the full install. The message on screen is simply "could not install".
i'll try a factory reset then directly to 4.3. I'm assuming I can use the same method as before or do I need to look into rooting the phone now?

As soon you are installing a stock rom, you don't have to worry about root.
But if you wanna root, your only choice is to flash a 4.2 rom, root it with a method of your choice and then upgrade to a prerooted 4.3.
Can someone please point me in the right direction to a FW that works with my phone? the only one that I seem to be able to use with flashtool is this one here which is 4.1.2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390178
however it won't let me update the system!
I'm guessing that I need a C6616 firmware to make this work, but I also tried this one, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612159 and I get an error in flashtools, in red writing 'ERROR - error flashing. Aborted'.
I've been searching on here and all the other firmwares are 6603 which I tried a couple and again errors in flashtools.
trying again with that 4.1.2 its flashing it but its not the firmware I need!
ok, finally got one of them to work! I'm not sure what it was but I downloaded a bunch of firmwares until one of them finally updated me to 4.3.
thanks for all the help!

Guys, he speaks about official OTA updates (Over The Air), did you read OP first?
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Free mobile app
I understand, but this happened to me before, it was because I have rooted my device. Try installing from PC with PC Companion
I unlocked my bootloader without saving the TA partition, and because of that I cannot to OTA updates.

Sure you can
9.2.A.1.210 is better because it's the last.
If you flash with Flashtool you can't root, because there's not a direct method yet.
The only way to keep root, is flashing a pre-rooted 9.2.A.1.210 via recovery.
FTF files for Flashtool are in General section, instead ZIP files for recovery are in Development section.
Good luck

1) Install recovery
Download here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319202175
Take your phone, go to settings, developer options, turn on and select USB debugging.
Connect the phone to PC now.
Unpack CWM4XperiaT_v8i_JB.zip
Run install.bat/install.sh
Follow the instructions, remember that your device is V, keep an eye on the display of the phone and give root permission when asked.
After the end of the process, enter into recovery like this: turn off the phone and turn on.
Immediately, try one of this combination:
Press repeatedly (not holding) power button until the phone vibrates
OR
Tap repeatedly the screen
2) Once you're in recovery, make a BACKUP.
So if something will go wrong or simply if you want to go back to 4.1.2 because you don't like 4.3, you will be able to return to the present situation just resuming this backup.
3) Install .210
Remember that you will lose all your data and apps. Instead what is inside internal memory and SD card is SAFE (backup included)
Download and install Flashtool
Download THIS and move it into the directory C:/Flashtool/firmwares
Download .210 zip file HERE and copy it into the internal memory of your phone.
Turn off and go into recovery.
Make a wipe data/factory reset.
Then install zip from sd card, choose zip from sd card, select .210 zip file.
When it's done, select POWER OFF (be careful, DO NOT select reboot).
Open Flashtool, click on the lightning symbol ("flash device"), select "Flashmode" and click on "OK"
Now select LT25_9.2.A.1.210_1268-6904_FIX4.3 and click on "Flash"
Wait for a window to pop up
Now take your phone, push the volume-down button, keep pushing and connect to your PC
Once the flashing process has started, release the volume rocker as soon as possible
NEVER disconnect the USB cable until it's finished!!!
Turn on and enjoy! :good:

1) If you want to keep root you must download LT25i.210_nor_deodex_root_philz_v1.zip that I linked above, since it's already rooted.
2) When you flash zip via recovery you don't touch the old kernel. You flash only the new system. After that, you need to flash the new kernel, so you need Flashtool with LT25_9.2.A.1.210_1268-6904_FIX4.3
3) When you switch from an Android version to another, a full wipe is always recommended. A partial wiping could give strange behaviours.
Therefore it's better a fresh installation of the app and then (when possible) a resume of the backup offered by the app: for example I'm quite sure that Whatsapp has a backup option within its settings. Use THAT option if possible with any app. Right?

Wipe cache is already included into factory reset.
Wipe dalvik cache is not mandatory in this case... do it if you want
Anyway all wipes will be repeated by Flashtool, so don't worry about that.
In Flashtool you have to change NOTHING, since yours is a brand new installation. Just flash.
works with lock bootloader ?

LOL... I'm not so noob.
Yes my method is for locked bootloader.
Unlocked bootloaders have to flash another kind of kernel.
The kernel you're installing is the original one.
And no, you can't unlock an Xperia V through Flashtool. It's impossible at the moment.
The only way to unlock is getting a code through Sony site!!!
This rule is valid for all 2012 devices onwards.
You're too anxious

Unlocking is mandatory for new Xperia that can't be rooted directly, because they are too new and they've been released with 4.3 or 4.4
We don't have this problem because we have 4.1.2 that is easy rootable, so we can install recovery and do everything we want

This is for locked. Stop asking. Don't worry.
I did this million times with locked bootloader.
During the process does your phone ask for root permission? Do you tap on yes?
