I bkeep seeing people mention that they are on like 20q or 10n etc etc. I also see some of the stock roms have those type of numbers in their names/descriptions. From what I gather thats your firmware version but my software version when I look in about phone is H87210e so i would 10e if I am remembering the right number to use.
The problem is tho, if I am correct and I'm 10e. Then I can't find a Stock Rom that will let me return to stock LG ROM, thAt is compatible with a 10e firmware version.
So I'm confused. I'm assuming I must be going by the wrong number, but I woulda swore it was always the last 3 digits of your software version. So anyone able to help me on this please.
Use LG Bridge to check for updates, more importantly, on the bottom right corner the recovery option can install latest stock rom on your phone while leaving your apps and data intact.

Easiest way is to re-flash RC29 for US (RC7 for UK). Then from there, you'll have everything set up the way the phone was when you bought it (Radio, SPL, Recovery Image, etc). From there, just update your phone with official updates and you'll be on your way (note: this will remove root and so you may lose function with some applications). Also, the official updates have progressed to the point where you have the on-screen keyboard, so no worries about losing that.
Honestly tho, I do not think that your ROM has anything to do with your text lagging cuz I think a lot more people would be complaining if it were. I would probably just re-flash a new ROM. They're often better than the official ones. I would take a look at cyanogen's ROMs before doing anything drastic like downgrading to a version that some applications no longer support.
Haya all,
First, I am not a pro at this stuff, tho I am a full time developer, and comfortable with most things IT.
About 3 months ago I purchased a Nexus One, and since I live in Thailand, and the root OS could not handle the Thai font, I followed instructions on this site to root and upgrade to the RA-Nexus-1.7.0 package.
Now, however, I would really like to have 2.2 for the new apps and (most importantly for me) the Flash update.
Is there a way to flash this thing without erasing my current apps, configurations etc?
Let me also say that while my phone was notified of the updates (both 2.1 and 2.2), both failed to install with "Verification Failed". Manual install of Froyo also failed with the same message (via copy to flash and reboot to recovery).
I assume that I need to use the SDK to push a update to the phone, but do not want to make a mistake... and the directions I have found here assume that you either have a fresh phone or can update via flash/recovery.
Can someone please shoot me in the right direction? (I will need a download link too =D)
Thanks,
Frosty
Ok, let me add...
Like I said I am not a pro at this stuff. In the About Phone section, it does say that I have 2.1, and just in case its relevant, baseband version: 32.19.00.16U_4.02.02.14 and kernel version: 2.6.29-gad36b87 [email protected] #1
Rebooting to recovery mentions the RA-Nexus-1.7.0 still, so I assume thats the current "recovery".
Thanks
Frosty
What's your build number? That should be shown in the same screen as your baseband and such.
Edit: Also, are you wanting to use the stock Froyo ROM (with or without root) or did you want a custom Froyo ROM?
I'm currently running 2.2.2 OS Build FRG83G. The phone has downloaded the system update but refuses to install it. I keep getting "zip verification failed". I've even tried a manual update with the same results. The phone is rooted and unlocked if that helps. How do I get this phone to update to Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread ?
You have to be stock to apply official updates. Sense you are rooted, why not just flash one of the stock rooted builds in the dev section?
Hmm ok, I will go do that then and see if that works.

I am having a similar problem. I have a brand new N1 with 2.2 build 2.16.405.1 CL223106, do you know if I can jump right to 2.3.4 without first going to 2.2.3? Whats with my build number? Why doesn't it show FR....? I tried the #*#checkin*#* and am getting nothing OTA. Thanks.
You may have carrier specific build. Are you with Vodafone, or Videotron, etc?
Shouldn't be with Vodafone or Videotron. Its a PB99100 and should be for Tmobile. I bought this new from a 'questionable' site on the internet and now I'm freaking out. I do get 3G with my tmobile sim card.
Just because it works on T-Mo, doesn't mean it doesn't have a ROM from another carrier. It's possible you got some back stock from a carrier that tweaks their ROM...
I don't recognize the build number, so I couldn't say for certain, but it doesn't sound like a Google build...
You can switch to a stock ROM very easily by following the unroot/restore guide in the wiki. It will wipe your phone, so you may wasn't to backup what you can first (MyBackup is about the best non-root option).
Since you bought a version from a questionable source, does it happen to have a lock symbol at the bottom of the 'X' when you boot up? If so, it will make it sooo much easier to get your phone to a modern version. You could still stick with Google's Stock Android, or you could go with a better (in my opinion) 3rd party ROM like CyanogenMod.
Just got a shiny new Nexus 1 today, which out of the box is running Android 2.2. I'm wanting to update to 2.3.4 or whatever the latest OTA version is, and I'm too impatient to wait for any automatic OTA updates. When talking to a friend who also has a Nexus 1, when he asked me for my build number, I realised it's nothing like what he was expecting, or the build numbers for OTA updates like I've been seeing on the forums.
With a build number that looks quite different to what most people are posting about on the forums, I don't really want to try any manual updates in case it gives me a one-way ticket to brickville. I've tried using *#*#CHECKIN#*#* from the phone dialer, get a notification saying "checkin succeeded", but no system updates.
My About Phone screen is:
Model Number: Nexus One
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband version: 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-27227-g3c98b0d [email protected] #1
Build Number: 2.16.405.1 CL223106 release-keys
As long as you have Nexus One, any build for Nexus One will work.
Use PASSIMG method to move completely to a new system, use "root, install custom recovery, back up everything, install whatever you want" method if you want to keep a backup of your current system.

The phone is completely stock and unrooted, and I'm wanting to keep the stock ROM (for now), so I was going to manually flash the OTA updates. But without being able to figure out what version/build I'm running now, I'm not sure which update(s) I need to push.
i think you need to activate the phone with google servers first...
there is a code for that ... i forgot.. search here...
and then they will send you the ota update
Your issue is that you have a custom build from a carrier. I have no idea what is custom, but it isn't the factory shipped Android version that most of us have. So, you will need to do that passimg method that Jack_R1 mentioned, which will take you to a real stock state and then you will receive the OTA updates.
You can still keep everything stock and non-rooted (although, stock will now be subjective for your phone and the carrier might not be willing to honor the warranty).

The phone was bought out-right through mobicity.com.au, so carrier warranties isn't an issue. Because it was not a carrier-locked phone, that's why I'm a little surprised that it's a non-standard ROM. Is there any walk-throughs or guides as to how to flash a stock ROM using passimg? And links to a flashable stock ROM? I did a bit of a forum search and didn't come up with anything other than "use passimg to flash blahblahblah".

Awesome thanks, I must have missed that when I was looking through the wiki. This works on the stock recovery, yes?
This is on the bootloader level, so the recovery or any part of the current ROM doesn't matter at all. It replaces the recovery too (with stock one).
Great success! Flashed a stock ROM as per the Wiki and it's now downloading/installing the OTA update to 2.3.4 \o/
Thanks for the help
Hi, I'm not exactly new to messing with my phone however I do have an issue with the current vs980 I own.
I've had approximately four roms so far on this phone
Stock 5.0.2
Pacman 5.1.1 and its update version
as well as CM13 right now
The problem is somewhere along the lines of me using pacman I seemed to have lost my baseband version, and because of this my phone doesn't seem to connect to 4g, however everything else works and is not out of place.
My question here is, I have a complete FULL backup of all my partitions on the phone using TWRP, and i'm wondering, should i do a restore, (also see if theres an update) then reroot with custom firmware or, is there a simple and easy way to restore the baseband version without going through a ton of work in the process.. And how to avoid losing it in the future.
