Hi you!
I installed ROM Manager. When I choose Backup current ROM, it requires installing of ClockworkMod Recovery. After choosing Install, a list of fone model appears: Huawei Pulse Mini, Dell Streak, etc... I cannot find Optimus One nowhere in the list.
Which model should we choose or how can we put P500 into the list?
nice question I want to know either...??? but BE CAREFUL cause I ve bricked my Optimus one once with that crap called ROM MANAGER
There is a custom version of ROM manager you're supposed to use for Optimus One, I saw it before but there wasn't a lot of confirmation that it was reliable. If you're looking to root/custom recovery use this link. Most people on the forum have tried these methods and can confirm that it will work. It even list problems you may have and how to fix them. =)

Hi Guys,
I searched the threads for T Mobile G2 updates but i couldnt find the right information.
I have the T-Mobile G2 and i wish to install custom ROMS for HTC Hero, or the STOCK ROMS. but i cant. How can I install? Can anyone help me or send me links to HOW TO's...?
Do I first need to Root the G2?
Is it even possible to install Hero ROMS on the G2?
Thanks in Advance!

If u wanna Install custom ROM then go for MoDaco http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552591 Read it and fallow the instruction. I have got T-mobile G2 with MoDaco ROM and its much better than factory one. I don't think there is any different betwen Hero and G2. Hardware should be the same which is the most important.
If you want to go official then you need to wait for t-mobile version ROM. Just check sometimes www.htc.com --> support.

I have an LG Phoenix P505 on froyo and it is rooted. I want to install ROMs and create a backup through ROM Manager but my phone isn't listed there. So can someone tell me if it is safe to use the LG Optimus One P500 ROM for the Clockworkmod recovery?
nothing in this forum is safe for you to use unless stated otherwise. the only thing i have seen that is meant for your phone is this. flashing anything on your phone that is meant for the p500 will cause you to brick your phone or create a lot of problems that you will never want to find uot
Hey guys...
I'm using LG Optimus Z. Please show me install clockworkmod recovery for optimus z ( Know as Ku9500/ Su950)
Thanks very much....
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.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
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.

And please provide rooting info and roms for lg p698 and installation process...
If there are sites for all roots, roms, hacks on LG P698 then please provide me...

For rooting, just follow the steps here. As for custom roms, haven't seen one yet. Custom Recovery for P690 still has to be verified if it'll work with P698.

I confirm the existing CWM Recovery brick my P698 today. I send it back to LG SC and may get one replacement. Root is OK but NEVER flash recovery.

At last! I tired a new rom in our p698!!
Both run adw launcher is pretty cool. But personally I did not like both. One could see the battery drain in numbers, which was horrifying!
Moreover, has it ever occurred that when you are running a launcher, the phone does not sleep how long it takes or press the power button? It happens to me occasionally, and goes to sleep only if I call the LG home launcher. Does anyone know a way out?

Hey ppl, the rom from borodinka is pretty good. I've been on it and has been running smooth, much better than the stock kernel.

please update us on the custom rom, how smooth is it, and how is battery life and dual sim functionality.
what of the usual delay in making and ending calls?

OK, update on the ROMS i tried...
the one named "borodinka"
pros:
1. the roms are smaller than the stock ones, and hence got a bit more storage space free.
2. Very very smooth. ADW launcher is built in. The whole thing, including menus are smooth
3. Looks like battery life improved a bit. I remeber draining out by night, but now it stays till morining with an overnight charge
4. No Bloatware. ES FIle explorer, MX Player are built in
5. Some kind of a techie font. not sure which one. but good/you'll get used to it.
cons:
1. Phone does not lock initially. Had to install LG Home Launcher from apk i found somewhere else in the forum to get it lock. Same happens initially after every reboot. Looks like something in the LG Home is responsible for sending the phone to sleep or so.
2. no native support for PDFs (very important for me) in ES File Explorer, i wish it was AntTek File Explorer. Both the file manager and the video player are better in the SD Card (which is not possible since it comes shipped with) to save space.
3. Sometimes loses range on either or both SIMs (which was probably there with the stock ROM and thus) might be a hardware issue.
4. Touchpal keyboard seems to have issues lately. Does not show up (and renders the phone crazy) after trying to import contacts. maybe it has to do with the latest update of the app, or lack of storage in my phone.
5. has 4pda app (and that too in german) preinstalled.
6. Default APNs are not available in the apn editing page. Had to enter stuff manually. Had data connection problem once, but got it running after a factory reset.
The other one, the name which skips my mind now, has similar characteristics, which i'll review soon.
Dual sim function works as old. The Cell broadcast widget and the dual sim status widget are unavailable. Range failures are present, i guess, as in most dual sim phones.

Start with a ROM of your choice, just pick one you'd like to try and test it out. If you don't like it try another one out.
*Repeat untill your phone dies

Hi Vinay, Post ur questions in Q & A forum. Ok the difference between custom and official ROM is u ll get ROOT access, many mod from official. Moreover check the caution lines before flashing any ROM.. Watch some videos on flashing ROMs. Also always a copy of main original official ROM..
and a nandroid backup would be also useful just in case something goes wrong
Hi!
Custom rom made by developers that can be from stock (samsung) basis or aosp/aokp (google) basis according to what the devs wants and need, so you need to know about what features and themes are included in the rom so that it would match your preferences. There's sure are a lotta rom out there to try. Be sure to flash only rom that made for your phone and made a backup just in case..
Happy flashing!

Hi to all and thank you for helping me.
The big trouble is that i led my phone in to strange state where only triangle appears and logo of samgung and gets stuck in that state ;after downloading some wrong ROM, my mobile got to this state , now i want to get back in order to wakeup my mobile and brings it too original state as pervious , also to inform you that the mobile was locked to local operator and i tried to unblock and i did mistake .
I just want to have brief guide to how to start as there are many information in this forum and i dont know which tutorial should i base ON.
Basically i just want to know which ROM should i take and procedures in order to install the correct ROM in correct way. I allready has the ODIN installed in my PC and at the moment i can navegate in my phone by Clockworkmode but i dont know what i should do after that , i do know that i can put the ROM in SD Card and try to force the mobile but first i would like to have exprties opinion on this matter, PLEASE.
Regards
Vinay
Well basically if you want to restore to original state, you have to flash the stock rom for your phone or the backup you made before (which I assume you didn't made it). Try to find the stock firmware/rom for your phone version/country/region on sammobile and flash it using odin (put your phone to download mode first). Hope it helps..
P.s: don't worry about the yellow triangle thing, it'll disappear after you flashed the stock..

Thank you sir and thank you all moderator helping me on this ,
Ok ;i understood but if i dont want to go back or lets say if i want to root and unblock without original stock ROM what procedure should i do , please.
I am also having difficulties finding the best ROMS for mobile S2 GALAXY where i should find them , please.

Dont mention "best rom" since its against the rules.Youll get a warning and your/this thread locked.
Yeah, it's a matter of preferences if you talked about what best so browsing around and try for yourself..
Some custom rom got pre-rooted, and some need to be rooted first or even not at all. There's lotta method to root sgs2 and it's not hard at all, just google it and you'll get it..
