I've been waiting for the gingerbread update for my T-Mobile Optimus T for so long. Googled for update today and here's what I found:
w w w. ehow. com/ how_12120364_download-android-23-lg-optimus-t. html
(just delete the spaces in the URL)
I am at work now and can't check whether this info is accurate. Does anyone know if the update has indeed been released?
Thanks.
Why use official when you have better roms like miks port on Cyanogen or SonyGen (Which I prefer)
Its false. I tried it and it does not work.

Can you, please, provide a link to a Gingerbread ROM that is fully functional with correct baseband? Thanks.
I'm on my phone so it's a bit hard but optimus t being the US version of p500h? It'll never officially get the gingerbread rom I heard somewhere.

Appreciate your taking time. Here come n00b questions:
1) Will this work with Optimus T (P509). Couldn't find any info on which Optimus model this is for. AFAIK, P500 ROMs are no good for P509.
2) Any major issues?
3) It says the ROM uses the old baseband. What does it mean? Will 3G/4G work? Wi-Fi?
4) Oh, and will I be able to revert back to official firmware in case LG decides to release an official update?
Thanks.

1. Yes. All P500 ROMs are compatible with the P509 (but FWIW, you will lose the T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling feature).
2. No. Read the known bugs list.
3. Wi-Fi and data will work with the old baseband (which is what you are using now).
4. Make a backup before you flash a new ROM (it is also possible to download the original firmware from LG).
1) why wouldn't the rom work on optimus t by the looks of google image its the same phone just renamed. I can check in the specs tomorrow (11:40pm here and class starting at 8:30am).
2) old baseband is what you want to keep. The new baseband has some sort of new feature which disables the Data transfer so you want the old baseband.
3) you can always get the original firmware back to your phone using the kdz updater thibgy which is made by LG but I highly doubt you wil want that. I'll link you up in the mornig if I've got time or maybe someone else will.
I noticed somene else replied and well I didn't answer the questions in order

IIRC ROMs for different Optimus One-based models (One, V, S, T) may not be compatible with each other as they work on different 3G bands/frequencies. This is what I heard so I just want to confirm. Thanks.
Can you, guys, also provide a link to a guide on how to backup and flash ROMs/firmware? I am relatively tech savvy when it comes to computers but an absolute noob when Android is concerned. Million thanks.
BOGUS as others have stated.
The below site lists all newly released LG roms and the 509 ain't on the list
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/agent_phonesw_notice_list.jsp
Optimus T and Optimus One have slightly different 3g basebands.
Fortunately, Andy and mik are in no hurry to support the new baseband and with the FD bug why would they.

They are not all compatible; only the Optimus T (P509) is compatible with the Optimus One (P500). I don't have a data plan, but AFAIK, there isn't an issue with 3G when using a P500 ROM on a P509 with T-Mobile US.
This guide covers most of the steps.

so im a little bit let down right now, after the update, i didnt get exactly what i expected. i went from 2.2 to 2.2.2, which i suppose any update is better than none, but i had been using the p500 2.3 kdz for a while now and was excited to see i may not have to manually input my APN settings everytime for my data and mms to work after a restore..
hopefully the p500 is a sign that well be recieving 2.3 eventually, just not right now lol
so I installed the V10S which broke the root ability even with Gingabreak I cannot get it to root.
Do you guys have any tips on what to do?
Also I would like to test 2.3 on my Optimus T because the canvas element should be accelerated and run HMTL5 based games faster.
I am currently developing a game and thus would like to test this speed improvement.
But honestly after spending days on the web I am more than confused about if there is a Android 2.3 rom for the US T-Mobile LG Optimus T which also runs stable and supports all functions including the Google apps.
Help to put an end to my noob level would be much appreciated !!!

Gingerbread for LG-P509?
MechanicaIMan:
I really like the information you have contributed here, I'd like to get my P509 running the same rom set up you have, but I'm not sure if I can because I updated my baseband when I flashed my current ROM. By the way is there anyway to manipulate the CPU to an ARMv7?
Here's my phone info:
Model: LG-P500 (actually a P509)
Android Version: 2.3.7
Baseband Version: LGP500AT-00-V20g-OPEN-COM-JUN-14-2011+0
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.10-cyanogenmod [email protected]))
CPU info: ARMv6-compatible processor rev 5 (v6l)
Mod Version: CyanogenMod-7-02202012-NIGHTLY-OptimusOne
Build number: GWK74
Thanks in advance.
Somebody PLEASE answer....
like someone said earlier, i too was let down when i saw the update was for a 2.2.2!!
Is the Optimus T getting/has an "official" gingerbread update?
if so, please send link and or fastboot instructions. Thanks.

Stop using new baseband. Majority users don't.

And there are already ROMs based on 2.3.3 official LG for the new baseband. Please check the DEV threads before posting here. And cut the crap with the big, bold fonts.

Okay i clicked that thanks button by mistake... :/
New baseband may not get quite good roms as its kinda buggy... also changing the baseband support of the rom is quite tedious... so forget about roms for new baseband... :/

Hi, i just got my new AT&T Atrix 4G that i bought in amazon and i already unlocked it and rooted it using the method describe in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15930466
But now i cant decide which rom is the best. I'd like to try the official update from Motorola's site (cause i kind of like the motoblur thingy) which is a zip file and im use to update roms in other android phones from a zip file, but iv read some disturbing posts about ppl bricking their phones and id really don't want that happening to me
Questions:
1) Is it safe for me to download that update file from the Motorola site to use it and test it?
2) What is the best Stable and Fast rom ATM?
I really love cyanogen, my wife has a Motorola DEXT and i love how it looks and works, but iv also seen these other roms like the alien one and others in the forums, so far iv seen like 6 and i still dont know which one is the best.
Oh and i almost forgot, heres some relevant info about my phone:
System version: 4.1.83.MB860.ATT.en.US
Baseband version: N_01.77.15P
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-00007-g527fe10
Build number: OLYFR_U4_1.8.3

Oh that is a pretty damn nice post, but still remains one question. The post describe how to switch between different roms and official roms, but it doesn't say anything about switching from the official froyo 2.2.2 to the official Gingerbread 2.3.4
1) Don't install any official Motorola updates I'm not sure if this is a problem anymore but once you install the official 4.5.9.1 (Gingerbread) update from Motorola you can't downgrade without risking bricking your phone. Just skip any updates and install the rom of your choice.
2) If you like Motorola based gingerbread check out Aura or The Dark Side (Based off Aura + themed with some improvements). Alien and Homebase aren't being updated anymore so I wouldn't suggest them. Ninja is being updated soon so you might want to try that once it's updated as it's pretty out of date right now. There's also a lot of other roms out there but they aren't very popular.
If you like CM7 on your wife's phone then defiantly get it. I run it and I love it, so far the stable build doesn't have fingerprint support but the nightlies and past 2 weeklies have, they'll probably release a new stable release soon. Very fast, good battery life, lots of features, stable.
And as far as Kernels use faux123's or Clemsyn's (Based off faux123's with some/improvements). Whether you want overclocked or not is up to you, I use faux123's CM7 Kernel 0.2.2 1.0 Ghz as I don't notice a real world performance difference between 1.0 Ghz, and 1.3/1.45 Ghz and the battery life is better but it's all preference.
Also make sure you have Romracer's latest recovery.
Thank you very much a question tho, why Romracer's? i currently have CWM that got installed once i rooted my phone, and btw where do i find those nightlies?
oh and one more thing, i dont know if you notice but my Build number is OLYFR_U4_1.8.3 and the one in faux123's says [<{ ATT CyanogenMod 7 (ATT, INTL Unified) }>] for cyanogen, should i use that one regardless of my build number?

Rooting your phone does not install cwm.

You find a thread a couple of posts down (if that's too difficult I can paste the link for you, we do not condone people getting tired by looking themselves..) about those nightlies.
A little advice (if I may): if your post doesn't include a modification to the phone's operating system / a Rom / a significant fix to something that a lot of people can apply on their phones AND /OR your post includes one or more questions then it should be in the Questions & Answers section of this forum.
Also check the noob guide in General, right at the top. All the good information you need is there.

If you want to play it safe or if you don't know much about flashing and don't want to brick your phone then stay stock or close to stock.Also if you want webtop and fingerprint scanner stay close to stock.....for me motoblur is very nice but it slows down the device alot and so I try to do without it.
I would recommend Home base ROM or CM7 beta2 but these might make you lose some features but if you can live without them you're going to like how smooth they are.
CM7 is available with working FP scanner -- install the latest weekly build! I've been on CM since the first beta back in September and I haven't looked back!
XDA doesn't allow "which ROM is best?" threads.
Hi,
I'm looking for a gingerbread rom to install on my friend's Optimus One. I myself have ZTE Blade and I have been installing custom roms and that sort of stuff for some time so I know how this work, but I'm looking for a stable, plain and unrooted rom for my friend's phone as he is not the most tech savvy guy out there. I found the official 2.3.3 update from LG but I've been reading that it's very buggy. What would you guys recommend?
Thanks in advance,
Arnar.

I think most if not all custom roms are rooted. If you're looking for something stable, IMO go for oxygen v1.1. Old baseband though.

One more thing... On ZTE Blade we have gen1 and 2 phones (same specs, different partition layout and radio if I understand correctly), certain roms will not work on gen1 phones and such. Does the optimus one have something equivalent to that? If i want to install Oxygen v1.1, like you suggested, is it as simple as rooting, installing custom recovery and flashing the rom?

By all means, yes!
But the O1 has 2 two basebands - v10xx and **** v20xx
If you wanna check which one you have go to -
settings>about phone
And there will be written the baseband version.
If its v10xx then you can proceed with the steps you've mentioned.

LG official gb has no bugs ,, the only problem is that it drains 1% battery every hour... whenever i wake up in the morning i notice that 6-8 % battery is drained... while cm7 roms drain only 2% per night btw if your friend is not techno freak then official gb is best as it has no bugs and you may flash franco.kernel for gb over official gb to give it more smoothness
Ok I just started blogging on XDA and I have and Android phone which is obviously the LG OPTIMUS ONE.But unfortunately this phone isn't getting an official update from Gingerbread to Ice Cream Sandwich.So as I have seen on the internet many times does anyone know any good ROMs I can use?Please give the best possible one and latest one.And when telling me tell me anything that does not work.Apparently cameras and volume doesn't work on some so hopefully those bugs go.And while telling me add in how to download it and where with a link.Thanx!
go for gtr 5.0 download link on first page always follow instructions or you will end up with a brick also make sure your on the right baseband http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529777
Ok so the above is ICS right and what version e.g 4.0.3 etc. And are the instructions for downloading hard as I'm not too good with getting these updates AND are there any downsides for this ROM?I'm happy that camera works and volume too just need a clarification.

I've tried a few of them and they mostly work. Some won't appear to do anything after a reboot. Even giving them quite a bit of time. For me, it's about the play store. Then I'll try to use downloaded apps. I've tried the apk too.
Not the play store but I've also tried the Firefox apk and it doesn't work on one of the roms either.
I realize these are all from source codes and are a bit of a hack and that my phone may not work in the end and that ICS is only theoretically compatible with a device originally running Gingerbread so whatever. But it would be nice
