You might be posting this in the wrong section of your brain The guys n gals on the board are generally a happy and helpful bunch, but we always prefer for you to make an effort, even the most feable attempt at failure, before asking questions asked a septendecillion times before.
Have a look at the index page, and you can probably match your device to a picture of your phone. Read the rules on the board (posted in the General thread). And please read everything you can on the wiki, or even google for it.
Basically, the radio rom is the bit that does the radio bit of your phone - communicating with the phone (which is basically a "radio"). You shouldn't need to upgrade the radio part of the phone if you're having no problems.
Upgrading the OS part of the phone will give you new software etc. But the radio is normally fine unless you specifically know that there's a better version around.
But read first, ask questions later.

Well, apparently there is no way to tell if your phone is CID unlocked just by looking at it. you can check out the thread about unlocking your device that-s in this forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
and do it. it doesn't hurt, and then you can be sure you have an unlocked device.
then you can flash any wizard ROM you like (provided you do have a Wizard, of course )
enjoy!

Yea just follow the guide. its pretty easy.

ok one last thing....my IPL and SPL are both currently 1.05....so do i need to downgrade first or can i just flash a new ROM straight away ?

anyone ???

[Q] Interested in rooting and flashing a custom ROM for the LGOB. [Q]

Hello guys, as you can see I am new to the forum and new to android in general. [Used to be an iOS fanboy] I have recently acquired an LG Optimus Black but i'm unhappy with the stock ROM provided by LG.
I have a few questions:
1) What are my options for rooting the device?
2) Once rooted, what custom ROMs are currently available for the device?
3) If I flash a new ROM is it possible and what would I need to have/do to restore the device back to the stock ROM?
And lastly...
4) What is the chance of fully bricking the device and what are my options if the device gets bricked?
Thanks a lot, [Hope this was the right section and hasn't been asked before...]

All was asked and ANSWERED before. Move your a** and search for it.

I have searched actually. The questions that have been answered aren't specific to my situation and I know that small details are very important when flashing phones. If you aren't answering the question I guess what you posted would be considered spam?

Guys,
Please refrain from bickering, two ways this can be easily resolved:
1. Use google search with the word xda in it to find your answer
2. Rather than posting move your a** and find it, if you know the link or answer, why not help a brother out?
I will say no more on the matter, its that simple.
THanks.

No point arguing..if you don't wanna help just ignore.
If you wanna reply, make sure it helps others.
1) What options? It's either you root or you don't. Either way, your phone works.
2) Currently there's only NOVA Rom by knzo.
3) Read this thread here.
4) Chances of bricking are slim if you read before attempting anything. If in any case your phone is bricked (boot loop), refer to the above.
Hope it helps.
Welcome to the Android community

Thank you very much for the very active response and information.... I am also studying these issues.

Exactly what I needed, thanks a lot!

I've heard a lot of the current roots don't work for the OB?
And is NOVA the ONLY ROM at the moment, I thought I heard about another one?

Older firmwares, you can use Gingerbreak. If it doesn't work, then most probably you're on the newer firmwares. Then use SuperOneClick.
The other one is Pays ROM. It's been abandoned.
It needs v10b Firmware to run. If you're not familiar, stick to Nova ROM.
Cyanogenmod is in progress (i hope so)

[Q] Check if bootloader is unlocked?

Hi.
So I know there can be very stupid sayings so immediately say:
I got my friend's Android , didn't tell me anything about it, but I know that it was ROOTED and stock ROM.
Now i am GingerDX 2.3.7, there werent any funny stuff, installed it good ( abt 4 months ago)
So I want to ask about the kernel and bootloader.
That's what I want to install
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672635
(Do not judge. I love Android, but I want iOS style. Simply do not buy an iPhone because I am not a millionaire. Do not flame.)
Or if you just dont want to click, it says:
"ROM requirements:
First latest baseband
Second Unlocked bootloader
3rd CWM Recovery
4th Best naa kernel / kernel Alf! "
Latest baseband - idk, mine ends with 015, as far as I heard its the latest (?)
Bootloader don't even know, really want o find out
CWM recovery is there
Kernel seems i have stock - (02/06/29 SEMCUser SEMCHost @ # 1)
So I want to ask you, how to know whether the bootloader unlocked / unlocked
What is my kernel?
Thanks for the answers, I hope there will be any. ( I HAVE USED SEARCH, DONT SAY THAT I TRIED IT.)
( Sry for bad english)

ive been on here for 1hour + and all people post about if how to install bootloader and stuff quit spamming and just help me out

This is everything you need
Scroll down and you'll find "How to check if your phone has an unlocked bootloader" simple tutorial.
If your phone's manufacture date is 11W29 or past 11W29, do not attempt to unlock bootloader as your phone might end in a hardbrick. How to know that? simply put out battery and you will see something like 11wXX in your phone

@IAmNice
I saw that u in many threads complaining like above one. If u can't just help a noob, please don't interfere with the threads that u can't stand/ or don't like. U are just spamming. Please be nice to Noobs man
@darkfrmr

I understand what you're saying. But in defense of IAmNice, topics like this have been answered a lot of times already and can be solved by doing a simple search. Letting threads like this go on may encourage new members to not search and just make a new thread for these kinds of questions.
@op: please search. There are threads around to help you. Use s1tool.

[Q] Questions about the unlocked bootloader / non-fuctioning camera problem

Hi all,
I usually buy phones and install custom ROMs ASAP...but as many of you are doing as well, I am currently waiting for the bootloader issue to be fixed so that I can use the camera with a custom ROM.
Basically I have a few questions which I was hoping someone could answer please:
Who can actually fix this issue? Sony or personal developers?
Is there an expected date this looks to be achieved? How soon can this be solved?
Is there anywhere I can check progress for the solution?
Right now I'm just browsing every z1 forum section and threads to see if anything has changed....so would be great to get answers to the above.
Apologies if there is another thread for this - please let me know if there is and I'll have a read.

[Q] [QUESTION] using custom roms

hi guys. heres my question. -- if i use a custom rom for my SGA , How long can i use the rom i installed? can i use it for a long time as long as it has no bugs like stock roms? even if theres an update on the rom i used , do i have to install the update?

First thing i would like to tell you that you can use any ROM for as much time as you want.If you are on a ROM which is bugless and better than stock so there is no problem in being on it.
Nextly as it goes for updates if your ROM support OTA updates then you can easily update it as on Stock but don't install updates from the Manufacturer untill not on Stock.
Abd installing updates depends totally on you if want you can if you dont its up to you.
Hit THANKS if Helped :good:

1. You can use it as long as you would
2. Some of custom rom have a view bugs, or the ui doesn't fit you. I think you should carefully choose your cusrom.
3. Usually rom update bring the good changes, or you can see the changelog first.
To avoid unwanted answers, i think you should use the Q&A thread.
