Hi
I recently got my LG P500 which is my first Android phone.
I have to say it's really awesome! Though it took me a whole friggin day to get the custom restore set up, it was well worth it
I am currently running the Void Mod and the new Kernel by mik_os. Both work great!
Now there is only the software version. I have the 10a version and I heard that the 10c (I have it already on my PC) would solve the +001 bug.
My question is: If I update do I have to completely wipe my phone?
Cheers!
don't install the V10C update. it solves 1 bug but brings home many.
you should wipe your mobile. anyway everything will get deleted. so wipe as a precaution so nothing.
PS: also depends which country rom you talking about. cause different rom solves different problems & offers new ones.
I am talking about the european 10c
So just to clarify: When I install the 10c (or 10a for that matter) I will always delete my custom rom, kernel, loose root and will have to do it all again from scratch?
Is it expected that Gingerbread will come with a new software version or is that a LG problem?
V10C cannot be rooted. So don't install/upgrade to this version.
How come it cannot be rooted? I thought impossible is nothing?
So lets rephrase my question to 10a...
When I install the 10a I will always delete my custom rom, kernel, loose root and will have to do it all again from scratch?
Thx

Just one Question
i had rooted and flashed the touchscreen fix.
After updating my device wil the root and fix removed?
Yes. Updating your phone to the latest version of the OS from LG will replace the fixed kernel and undo the rooting process. Even worse, the updated versions of 2.2 are not rootable.
Update means - update from LG stock rom?

Yes. I think that the LG stock ROM is Android 2.2 and the updates that are available over-the-air are 2.2.1 (and maybe 2.2.2?) but those two are not rootable.
So is there any way to get android 2.2.1 without doing any normal update?
Noejn's custom ROM called "Prime" is based on v2.2.1.
This is the link to that thread, read it and see if you can flash the touchscreen fix over this ROM, then maybe it suits your needs.
I decoded my phone two days ago, but it wasn't through an IMEI calculator, the guy used a VBOX or something, the idea is that he told me that I can't change my rom, which sucks. I just want to know if that's true, or the guy just didn't had the mood to explain things to me. I searched the net, but I couldn't find an answer and I don't want to risk it, because the bloody thing cost me .
Kernel vs is 2.6.32.9
Android is 2.2 vs. V10C-oct 2010.
If you guys could help me with some info, it would be great.
Well...I don't know what the guy used or why did he tell you that u can't change your rom ...
but, since, you have 2.2, I bet you can root it , install custom recovery and then flash a custom rom over your current one...in fact, I'm quite sure of it
Give it a try...you won't regret it...at least I didn't
EDIT: Oh wait....10C is 2.2.1 which is unrootable ( uptill now )...
So, your only option is to downgrade it to 2.2 ( v10B ... I think ) via KDZ tool and then root it.
I see, so there's no danger of "re-locking" my phone then? .
And one more thing, because this phone is kind of new (my first android) I got to ask (I'm sure I can find some posts around here somewhere and I will search, but I just need to know what to look for first ), Is there anyway that I can back-up my current rom? (just in case things go south)
Well
As far as I understand things, the only way you could reactivate the network lock would be by undoing whatever that guy did.
That could happen if the unlock method he used implies modifications in the ROM area of the phone, but if this would be the case, unlocking would be so easy, just by using an LG official ROM update and so rewriting that portion of the code.
But I think that the network lock might be in the Radio ROM.
So maybe you are safe to upgrade/downgrade main ROM of your phone, but for safety you should not update the Radio ROM?
Anyone else has ideeas?
Also, this kind of supports my theory: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711750
Don't know of any locks .... (currently using optimus one)
But...try downgrading with official LG Rom using KDZ tool and then IF it locks up ask your friend ( who unlocked it before ) to do so again ... maybe it'll work but, no promises.

Soz ,only the indian v10c is 2.2.1.
Nxt time don't answer if u arnt exactly sure.
Thanks a lot guys, it worked, I downgraded to 2.2 and rooted it. The phone is still unlocked, no problems, he probably rewrote the radio and (I assume) he just didn't bother explaining .
Much appreciated.
Hi, I'm a noob seeking advice. I rooted my phone a few weeks back just because I could, but haven't really done much with it since. I haven't upgraded from 2.2.1 yet -half because I've been busy and half because I'm shy about bugs.
My question is: since LG claims it's going to release the official upgrade this month, what are the advantages of official upgrade versus unofficial? It seems like every unofficial one has bugs still, so I'd be tempted to go back to official. Also, since I've already rooted it, I'm under the impression that kills official updates. If I want to go back to the official version, would I have to unroot it first or is there a way to just allow the official update to go through?

About the 2.3 official update, everyone is waiting for that, since 2.3 unoficial Roms have bugs and unimplemented features. For example, I love the CyanogenMod rom but I had to gave up on it since the the bluetooth is not working for auriculars and for the bluetooth system on my car. The 2.3 official update will solve all the problems for these current unoficial Roms, so if you really need a fully working Rom, better not go for those 2.3 Roms available.
You should not upgrade to 2.2.1 (or 2.2.2) using the regular LG update method. That will "unroot" your phone. There are 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 official unrooted Roms (just google for that, you will find them pretty easy). In that case you won't use the KDZ method but the safer Android Recovery method (avoid using the KDZ!! it's the easiest way to kill your phone!!).
So... if you just want to "unroot" your phone, you can always get the official update back in your phone, by using the KDZ method. KDZ reflashes your phone, and that's why the risk is higher than using the Android Recovery method which one wipes out some things like /system/*
mix em both and they will shine...I hope LG's release sky rocket's mik CM7 rom and then i will permanently switch to CM...they simply rock..

That's exactly why I haven't gone for it yet. That and I've heard the GPS is still buggy.

I already had the official 2.2.1 before I rooted with GingerBreak, and haven't changed from that. I thought that rooting the phone would automatically block the OTA updates. Is there a way to simply allow the OTA 2.3 update when it comes?
As for kdz versus Android Recovery, everything I've seen around the web for returning to stock says to flash using kdz. Are you talking about using home+vol down+power?
So I'm sorry if I shouldn't be creating a new thread for this. It's a pretty unique situation and I couldn't find it anywhere.
I had upgraded my P500 to official 2.3.3. I then decided "hey, I should try out some custom roms because this sucks...". I rooted with SuperOneClick, managed to install Clockworkmod recovery and the set out to find a nice new rom. I soon discovered that there weren't really any exciting ones that piqued my interest because of the new baseband. The baseband thing is also confusing the heck out of me. Anyways, I managed to KDZ Updater back to my stock firmware because I figured I might as well do something good out of this. So now I'm on 2.2.1, specifically LG v10v. This is a Koodo phone if that helps at all. Also, I'm pretty sure CWM is now wiped and super user access is gone too. Spent a good amount of time putting everything back on the silly thing yesterday lol.
First question: Am I now on new baseband or old baseband (having flashed with
KDZ)?
2nd: I keep seeing references to baseband 10 or 20 followed by a letter. Am I on baseband 10v? If I want to use a custom rom, do I need to change it to 10 a,b or c or something like that.
3rd: Seems like mixed reviews on this one all over the place. Can Rom Manager be successfully used on the P500 to install CWM or does it brick it?
Any other info you can think of would be terribly helpful. Please go easy on me! I'm not sure if I made a mistake by creating this post or not...
You can use RomManager to flash cwm, in the past you could softbrick your phone, but this issue is already solved.
With froyo you are on old baseband, so you can use almost any custom rom for old baseband. No need to flash any baseband for these roms.

Hello Crispus222 !
If you are on stock 2.2.1 V10v flashed by KDZ, you have the old baseband.
So if you wanna try custom ROMs you should search those who support the old BB.
But don't forget that you can change baseband without flash stock ROM via KDZ.
ROM Manager flash cwm recovery without problems on rooted phone, I have done this many times
1) Old baseband. If you've used a full stock 2.2.1 or lower rom, than you're on the old baeband now.
2) I'm on the old baseband and mine is 10v. So I'm assuming you're now on the old baseband! Congratulations!
3) Yes. ROM Manager CAN be used on the LG Optimus one whether you have the old or new basebands. Just install ROM manager, choose flash ClockworkMOD and then scroll down to "LGE Optimus One" and hit flash. After that, boot into recovery and you're done!
enjoy all goodies .
u r on old baseband after kdz flash.
now root using z4root . (file sharing sites remember!)
install rom manager from market and install cwm recovery n yeah it works without a glitch but its ur luck too.
reboot into recovery n there u go !

You are and have always been on OLD baseband as you have to flash the new one in a seprate step.roms don't come with any baseband included.10v\or\10s don't matter as that is OLD baseband.20g\or\20a is new baseband.Rom manager can Install CWM recovery on any p-500 sccuessfully.I would ROOT 1st before installing.The brick comes from flashing a corrupt (over the air) downloaded rom & flashing that.TWRP 1.1.1.1.XL is my choice for recovery but CWM is fine.The LGDMP tool is also my choice for flashing baseband & rescue my phone when things go wrong.ROMs run on either old baseband or new but the newer ones run both (but download the link you are going to run)choice.Hope this helps !
Thanks so much everyone! I appreciate the help a lot.

Yes, you can use any of the roms for the d802 version as long as you do not try and install the stock firmware for it via LG Updater or a KDZ/tot file flasher.
