hi all!
ihave a new p500 device with stock rom v10g.
and i want to flash oficial v20c.
but i have no windows pc around, so i cant use kdz flasher or oficial lg updater. i have only linux station with adb installed.
will i able to do update v10g -> v20c with custom recovery (cwm or any other)?
I haven't heard of any way to do the official update without a Windows PC. Would love to hear otherwise, but at this point, there is no way to update the phone's baseband in a cross-platform way.

Nope, no way to do so. I would suggest going to someones house and asking to use their pc or even just going to a library lol

Try to install Virtualbox with usb extention, then under virtualbox install winxp.
I wouldn't recommend you to do so.
Updating your baseband and grabbing Gingerbread is not so good, you see, there's plenty of bugs in the Official Gingerbread rom.
If you are very interested in update your phone, then find a win7 computer...
I have Windows 7 in VirtualBox and tried to flash from it. But virtuall environment does not detect phone when it is in emergency mode. So it can't be flashed in this way.

Yes. Check out CM7 and void forever. Although these have certain bugs as mentioned on the first page, but they are great gb roms.

Well... You can flash and try a pretty much useless Gingerbread from CM7 and stuff, which uses v10 baseband (as Froyo)
If you want a really good full usable and bugless Gingerbread, in short answer, that doesn't exist yet.
Changing the baseband is just a mere procedure, but, sticking with Froyo is the best thing you can do, IF you want to have a full working phone.

do it slowly, step by step, insuring every move. PM me if u want to for questions. FYI, KDZ flashing probably has the highest chance of brick.
Ya be very careful. Only flash if you know what you are doing . Here is a step by step walkthrough http://lgp500.wordpress.com/2011/03/25/how-to-downgrade-your-firmware-lg-optimus-one-p500/

Thx for your`re answers. I`ll do some more research... and then come back with further questions.
I have Samsung GT 5500 running a costum rom as well but i just could not get my head around downgrading.
Thx
Done downgraded from 2.2.2 > 2.2.
Done rooting with z4.
Done costum recovery.
Can u recomand a costum rom?
I have a problem downgrading with kdz flasher. When I open the KDZ, I get the next error : "MOD UpTestEX MFC Application has stopped working". Any help please?
I had the same problem once. I had installed the latest drivers for the phone using the lg mobile updater tool.
Instead,i uninstalled the latest drivers and installed the drivers for the phone from the LG pc suite on the sd card which came with the phone and then tried kdz flasher. it worked. You could also try this method.
Heya
I want to flash my p500 kernel so I can OC and to fix that annoying touchscreen lag thinngy. My phone's still under guarantee though (I've rooted, but they don't know that). If I wana send my phone in to my SP for some reason, I'll need flash the stock kernel first, then unroot. I've soured the wastes, but nary could I find a p500 stock kernel.
Would someone be able to point me to one?? I'd be super happy, thank you in advance ^_^

Thanx for your super quick response!! I don't want to flash the firmware though, I already flashed VOID once which didn't turn out too good I just want to flash the kernel
If you could tell me where to find one that would be awesome!!

U sound confused bro. In short, if u ever need to go to the service center just flash the original lg firmware with kdz. U get everything back to stock. stock rom,kernel,unroot
If u are looking for only the LG kernel. Im not sure but it involves the bootimg file and other technical details. U will have to ask the devs
You can't get the stock kernel if you don't flash stock rom with KDZ Updater.
P.S : WHY YOU WANT TO FLASH THE STOCK KERNEL ?
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App
Standalone stock rom kernel is not available. You can:
a. Restore your stock rom nand backup, or
b. Search the general thread, a stock rom nand backup has been posted, or
c. Flash stock firmware using kdz.
I got galaxy I5503 with eclair 2.1 and i still got a stock rom. I just want to upgrade my g5 to froyo 2.2 via my g5 itself not using any kind of help from pc,Is it possible..???
if yes than plz answer the query cuz im very eager to try new custom roms.
Stock rom?
Hey dude.I think you cant do that without using a PC,as you need at least to flash clockwork mod.And one more thing,as you are saying that you are on stock rom please visit the below link and backup your rom.
You need to get ClockWorkMod on your phone first. To do that, you need a pc anyway.....
you will need your pc... for official updates or unofficial ones.
for official froyo you will need KIES and download thru it... if you want to run CM7 or any other rom you will also need Odin to flash ClockworkMod Recovery, and then you can install any other G5 rom you want.

if in the meanwhile he is still alive!!
i rooted this last night with z4root and did a nandroid backup and then flashed the mik_os compile of CM7, everything has gone fine, but i have decided to try the official firmware to see how it is.
if i nandroid back to the original LG firmware (which was 2.2 based) and then update to the latest release, is it still possible after that to go back to CM7 again if i find i don't like the official gingerbread update? ie. is it possible to root the latest gingerbread update?
i am doing this partly to get the latest radio version but also just to see how good the lg version is compared to aosp/CM

You cannot root the 2.3.3 update from LG, afaik. You've to downgrade it to froyo to root it again.

Ignore the previous reply. If you flash the official unbranded Euro version v20e using KDZ, superoneclick works just fine.

Didn't know that. The sticky thread is not updated with this info I guess. Thanks for letting me know.
ok just to be sure, is the official euro unbranded version this one?? -> http://www.multiupload.com/Q1OOK81QDJ
also this contains the latest radio version, correct?

Yes, that's the euro version and the new baseband will be flashed automatically.
If you want to go back to CM7 you will have to flash the old baseband via LGMDP or a froyo rom via KDZ.

actually i'm not sure if this is the best one to use, its a 7z file and i'm not sure how to flash it. it contains a number of .img files as well as some .mbn files.
will have to keep looking.

There is a rom search & download tool on this forum wich will help you download the correct .kdz file; you have to search the thread which contains it.

tried already, that is how i found the 7z unpacked version. the official LG website link is saying 'Forbidden'
ie. this one -> http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP500/ANEUBK/V20e_00/V20E_00.kdz
people have reported the unpacked version working, but i was a bit hesistant as its not how i have done different LG phones, i have normally used the .kdz
if anyone has the v20e .kdz could they mirror it somewhere, would be appreciated by a lot of ppl i think..
ok got v20e flashed finally, now only problem is rooting it, tried superoneclick but getting
Code:
Remounting /system with read-write access...
mount: Operation not permitted
FAILED
also trying gingerbreak, not much luck there either... am i doing something wrong?

did you actually get this to work? how?? so many ppl have reported the mount error that it no longer seems like coincidence??
rooted finally -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15454927&postcount=7
Glad you got it sorted.
I just followed the same instructions you did, and never had any mount errors on either of the two phones I've rooted.
Hello
I had updated my phone to the new base band using official Lg update and then i had rooted my phone and also have installed Recovery from Rom manager and Franco Kernel.
Now a update from Lg update tool pops up asking to update the phone.
Can i update my P500, Will there be any problems?
Can i install any custom roms for the new baseband?
I have franco.Kernel.v1-16082011 are there any better kernels out there now?
My phone vibrates when i receive a Msg even when i have switched vibration off, what do i do to resolve this problem?
Don't know if you can uptade by official way after rooting...(in my opiniom the oficials roms are very ugly and had lots of bloatware)...Yes, you can install any rom(if it's for old baseband just intall old baseband trough kdzupdater)...About kernel:if you are unhappy if the touchscreen lag, flash paolo kernel(v6=vsync on, v5=vsync off)...and about the vibration:try downloading audio manager from market and uncheck(or check) the boxes of vibration...
About msg vibration --go to message--setting --below notification--vibrate--never..

Try this method !
But also keep in mind that after using KDZ u will have to root and install custom recovery again.

Use this method, it has more infos and less chance to bricky your phone and yes... you'l have to root and install recovery again if you install a rom, but if you just change the baseband your phone will not brick and you won't need to root again.For change the baseband you can use this method(don't forget to look at the first thread to check if you have the drivers and the lg modem disabled with more info and maybe something i forget, used to change basebands and roms)
