[Q] Gingerbread downgrade to froyo - Optimus One, P500, V General

Hi guys,
I need some help please.
Im currently running a
GB 2.3.3
Kernel version 2.6.35.10-perf+
V20g -
Im planning to downgrade it to froyo for the following reasons.
1. To easily root the phone
2. To easily get tun.ko for vpn use.to connect to the internet.
Thats all masters.
Do i need to downgrade or there's a way for those things without downgrading.
Thanks to all.

only the baseband sir?

Do it via KDZ Firmware flasher and research for a tutorial how to flash using it and how to download the old firmware. I can't research for you now because I got things to do

thanks a lot sir..
ill go for downgrading to froyo.
after i downgrade? i will downgrade also the baseband?

Id recommend using LG tools, kdz flasher I here has problems. Than again I've never used it so I can't tell you from experience but I can give you a place to start
Don't use xda's app search function, its useless instead use Google search queries
Go to android development, than to stickies.. the first post is what you need. Its a post by ciaox that night do you justice, also right underneath it is another post with alot of info but I believe its outdated
Also look for sweetnsour's post, I think its under general section stickies..

well, if you still got the warranty then contact lg service centre and tell them to downgrade from Gb to Froyo2.2.2
they may tell you that there is a slight chance of bricking but they will also tell you that not to update after downgrading
And Viola!!
You will get stock froyo on your phone without any hassle, all things working and no chance of bricking your phone by yourself and no baseband problem
Followed it and no problems till yet, currently on Mike's CM7 6.5.8
And to root, just use gingerbreak

2 methods to manually do it.
1. kdz (risky in my view as i briked my phone once with it) (search xda to follow)
2. lgmdp (i feel safe method) ( to flash froyo of your choice follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19006040#post19006040
or
to flash indian froyo v10e 2.2.2 follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324105)
and once u successfully flashed using any of the above method no need to flash baseband separately, it will be done by the tool while flashing process itself.
if you want to root stock rom 2.3.3 follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200167

To install GB you must flash the new baseband. So you either flash the whole ROM via KDZ or flash just the baseband via LGMDP (a small search will reveal everything I say, so there's no need to post links).
If you flash via KDZ you will have a stock phone. It's a "clean" flash. If you want to root it Gingerbreak has no use, search this section for threads about GB rooting, there are plenty.
If you flash the baseband via LGMDP your customrecovery will remain and you will be able to flash one of the already rooted GB roms here.
thanks mate !!!
actually i followed the KDZ method
outlined here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060121 ( although its for froyo but i believe the process should be same )
used the 20G file from this link : http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP500/AVDRBK/V20g_00/V20G_00.kdz
The flashing went fine but the phone is not booting
i am stuck on the android LOGO
what should i do

Turn off the phone and try a hard reset first (home+vol down+power)
Thanks mate , reflashed everything and then did a hard reset.
booted and working fine now.
but somehow there is no file manager in it LOL
got ASTRO for that.
Could you pl link me to a thread where all the KDZ files are listed with their download links.
Also could u help me to root this phone with the easiest and safest method ( actually its my primary no )and if there is any voodoo kernel available to speed things up for this.

[Q] Can't Save APNs in Custom Roms

hey XDA peeps,
Seasoned Android modifier here.
Got a LG Optimus One from Telus (Canada) (P500h), came with 2.3.3 .
I can root it, flash custom Roms, Flash the Baseband Fix, Flash a custom Kernel and restore it back to Stock 2.3.3.
The only thing I can't make it do, is make my custom ROMs save my Rogers Wirelss APNs !!!
I can't seem to find a KDZ file for the V10 (2.2.1) firmware and two of us cannot figure out how to flash the DZ files, (Cannot Find Monitor Port?? Tried 2 different computers). From my understanding, its best to start from the 2.2 Software, but I can't find it for my P500h Telus Canada.
I see that I am not the only one who is having the APN Problem.
So what I'm asking is
A) How do I fix this APN not saving issue
B) Which CM ROM should I flash that does not have this issue
Thanks!
You have to downgrade your baseband to old one then you can save apn ...
Flash cm6.5.8 it is stable

So, i gather that the zip file ive been flashin via CWM called "baseband fix" is not downgrading my baseband.
Is this a file I have to flash via KDZ? Can anyone link me to the file? I've looked high and low for such a file.

You're welcome,

Thanks guys, last time i installed that rom it failed miserably. I tried again and it works great and it seems i didn't need to flash the new baseband coming from the stock 2.3.3 software.
Thanks a lot!

flash baseband

i have this p500 allmost a year so i would love to know if there is a way to flash the new baseband because i want to flash the NightlyFourE V4.6 rom so if there is any "HOWTO" or something like that please post this in here
There are many good tutorials around. The easiest way is to update to official GB from LG. In this way, you'll get the new BB automatically. After that, you can root the device, install clockworkmod from market and get any ROM for the new BB.

and if i have the NightlyFourE 4.4.1 i can just update with the official GB from LG without problems because its not a stock rom...

All you had to do is search lol.
But anyway follow the link in my signature, the method in my tutorial is installing the new gingerbread update using kdz, and helps you re-root and install correct recovery

None of the cfw i flashed work. What am i not doing right?

So i have some experience with these things (flashing and whatnot) with several phones already (htc hero, legend, desire, desire hd, motorola milestone, iconia a500, etc), so i dont get what could be wrong.
So i have this lg optimus one.
Gave it root with z4root method.
Got rom manager installed, flashed the recovery, and rebooted into the recovery.
I formated the sdcard from recovery, entered usb mode, copied several cfw (mostly gb roms) along with some kernels.
I flased my first rom on this phone, and i think it was optimus v3 (or something like that), rebooted, then i got FC, "process com.android.settings has stopped unexpectedly". So im thinking now ... "hmmm .. the kernel must not be the right one". So i search a little and see that there are 2 kernel types, v35 and v32.
So i start flashing another kernel, reboot, but still get the same thing.
So i then start flashing another cfw, but still the same thing.
I flashed several cfw and about 4 kernels by now.
What im i not doing right !?
Where should i check ?
Maybe ur not on the right baseband If u were on Gingerbread when rooting then ur on new baseband but if u were on Froyo then u were on old baseband so check for a ROM with the proper basebabd and try

Yes u can..but I'd recommend u to try a ROM which is for old baseband (or for both old and new) and see if it has any problems.if its working perfectly then its the baseband problem.
Try this rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1463495

Switching Baseband - The easy way [ Tested on GB ]

Mod plz add this to sticky or link it in sticky
As we know there are two types of baseband's available for our device, old baseband which is used by froyo and some gingerbread rom's and new baseband that is used by gingerbread onwards.
To switch baseband you either need to flash baseband through lgmdp or flash firmware using kdz and both involves a substantial degree of risk of bricking your device.
What I will be telling will not actually change your baseband but will make the ROM compatible with the baseband you are using. So here it is how it goes.
-> If you are having old baseband and want to use new baseband ROM, flash this after flashing ROM

-> If you are having new baseband and want to use old baseband ROM, flash this after flashing ROM
https://www.box.com/shared/r5l39a5ocaxr8zq1s46h
Note:- Patch for old baseband was originally made by adfadd and thats where idea came for creating a patch for new baseband. While the patch by adfadd is long lost in pile of threads, this is where this thread will come handy.
Flashing baseband through LGMDP cannot brick your device,only flashing full firmwares via LGMDp or KDZ_FW_UPD can have chance to brick

Manual search fix
Here is the libril.so for manual search fix. My friend tested it on new baseband and it works.
So, probably for all new basebands including funnysim may work for gingerbread, ics and jellybean. Please test it on and report.
Good job.

i looked into the zip file and found that a few lib files are added by flashing the patch. would this affect the performance? my phone works fine in 90% of the time. however, sometimes it is just too laggy to even answer calls. it could become normal after some time, say 30s ro 1min.
i dont have this problem when i was using roms based on the old baseband. so i am wondering what would the patch do to the system.
thanks.

those libs aren't going to affect performance in any way... its the ROM & kernel that affects performance.
Am I mistaken, or is there a flashable zip to undo the old bb fix?
