I sent my Optimus V in for service. It was bootlooping with the LG Screen only after using LGs broken update tool. Fortunately for me the repair was covered under warranty. I am wondering if the phone is running the new kernal will I be able to root it because there is no fast boot feature? Does anyone have the Virgin mobile optimus V with the new screen and the V5 Kernal Rev running a Custom Rom Rooted. I don't want end up with another phone out of service. My other Phone is running the V4 kernal and old screen with a Bobzhome Rom what a great build in comparison to the Frayo.
I have the new optimus v with the new screen.
I'm using IHO Recovery built by BobZHome that has a kernel that supports the new screen. It is based off of CWM
For my rom I'm using IHO Mirage based on CyanogenMod 7.2
Here's where I got recovery and rom

Just scroll down to optimus v section. Choose either IHO recovery or Xionia recovery and flash via adb or terminal and then you can flash one of the IHO roms or a rom of your choice via the new recovery

Will the Optimus V xionia kernel work on our optimus one??? If i screw up the kernel wud i still be able to boot into Amonra2.1 recovery??? Does Recovery work on top of the linux kernel (my guess is -it does coz theres dmesg in recovery mode too)???
I don't think the kernel will work on p500 both devices have different hardware. And yes even if u flash any wrong kernel or rom you can boot into recovery. Just make sure that the kernel or rom zip doesn't have any recovery update in them.

When I flash a kernel where does get installed in /system or in which partition /boot also I m sure optimus one and v have same msm7227 except that v runs on cdma network so maybe telephony won't work..how do I check if zip does not flash boot partition???
Hello everyone,
I was wondering if any of you with a p509 flashed gingerbread and got it working? I tried but network was not there.
If you did, did you make changes to the build prop? Before or after rom flashed?

have you ever flashed official gingerbread before? if youre trying to go back to another (unofficial) gingerbread rom, you are going to run into some problems.
official gb = new baseband
pretty much all unofficial gb roms = old baseband
I did flash the new one but the gsm wasn't working so I had to go back to the old baseband.
Sorry for the really late reply!

I bought a LG Optimus V online and it boots to a blank screen, it has clockwork recovery mod though. Is there any way I could flash the original VM rom onto it? I need that app suite in order to activate the phone.
Check the stickies at Android central, and Here. . You might wanna change to the IHO recovery first. Idk which V driver you have.

I'm just wondering out of every ROM out now in 2012 which ones are compatible with the T-Mobile LG Optimus T p509.. I've search around in google and here but couldn't find a real answer. And if there is what would be the most Stable and Smooth(fast) ROM to use?.
u can use any p500 rom except the new baseband roms...
the old baseband fix might work on new baseband roms...

Since my thread aint getting any lovin , will any optiums ROMs work on a LG Optimus Q Phone from straight talk ?
On his blog post, it says to use the packaged recovery to flash his ROMs (CWM 6.X.X.X) but I prefer TWRP. Has anyone attempted to flash them with TWRP?

I am on official ics now, but I flashed the July 29th cm9 build with twrp successfully. Don't know about the latest build though.
