Hello all,
In advance i just want to say sorry if im missing a thred that can already help me and if i am a link would be great,
I am in the uk, this is the current spec of my phone...
Android version
2.2.2
Kernal version
2.6.32.9
software version
V10d-APR-27-2011
If any more info is needed then i will be happy to post it
OK, i am on the 3 network and have sent an email to LG regarding updating to 2.2.3 and they say that it is only available in the UK on the T-mobile network, I want to no if i can manually update to 2.2.3 that is compatible with the UK and my network. If not is there anyway to unlock my phone to make it compatible?
I have already rooted my phone using Gingerbreak
If i can update is there anywhere where i can get download links and a step by step guide that will work on my phone? i have been through many posts that explain things but i still am not to sure whether they will work with my phone, and if the ROM will work with my phone.
If i could get some advice or if someone could point me in the right direction of a post that will help me i would be most grateful!
Again i'm sorry if i am completely missing the obvious, i'm just a n00b in the process of learning.
Ive been stuck at the same point in the process for months
Thanks
Sorry!
I meant that i want to update to 2.3 gingerbread, or if anyone no's of any better ROM's that would be great, i generally use my phone for games, apps, music and browsing the internet so i just assumed that the official 2.3 ROM would be a better option but i am open to any suggestions. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help me Kudo's

Hye Folks.. im newbies from Malaysia,pls help me to update gingerbread.. im using Atrix AsiaRetail.. i cannot update Gingerbread using OTA or MSU.. its tell me your device is up to date..
i also attach my system information.. plz give me a solution.. thanks all
Version .4.3.10.MB860.AsiaRetail.en.03
You can't get the Gingerbread version at this moment. Be patient now because there are also many users in Malaysia who are using Motorola Atrix (non-4G) too.
Those threads that posting the latest Gingerbread SBF file(s) does not suit our version in Malaysia. You might not be able to flash "these" firmware into your Atrix too. Correct me if I am wrong...
If your Atrix is still not rooted then keep it as it is (if you want to have the OTA update later BUT YOU REALLY NEED A LOT OF PATIENT).
If you don't care about the Gingerbread update then you may proceed with the rooting. You may refer to this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=578771&d=1303829207
Hope the above info could help you be more patient. Cheer
how can i know its not 4G? thanks bro..
so if im rooting my phone i cannot retrieve update?
As long as your version is: Version .4.3.10.MB860.AsiaRetail.en.03 (this is Malaysia version and it is not 4G)
Edit: You can also refer to this link for further details http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16029157
Thanks.. if u have a news bout our version just keep in touch with me..

Hi peeps
I have bought a thr33 Galaxy ace. Ive used an unlock code so i can use any sim but im wanting to update and remove the stock branding if its possible. Ive spoke to another guy who said to use titanium. So ive rooted the phone and used titanium to remove all s/ware i can see as apps on the phone but i still have the thr33 logo on start up which i want rid of and id like to install a newer f/ware. After rooting ive tried to update thru Kies with official f/ware but the phone loses its usb connection when trying to update.
Phone details as it stands :
f/ware : 2.2.1
Baseband : S5830NEKA3
Kernel : 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected]#1
Build : FROYO.XWKAB
Its is rooted.
Ive got some iphone JB experience and i can follow instruction no problem so if anyone can just point me in the right direction as to solve my problem id be very grateful.
Thanx in advance
avoid kies. it would do u more harm than good. use odin to upgrade to gingerbread.
heres a good tutoral with screenshot
u can use other firmware, not just kph like stated in that tutorial. but i u really wanna follow that tutorial make sure its odin complete package, not onepackage. and i suggest using blackhawk rom
btw on 6th step on that tutorial, u'll probably just see "downloading" yellow text on screen, not "an android robot digging with a shovel"
and on the blackhawk rom thread, ketut already pointed howto install his rom, but without screenshot.
Thanx so much for your help before I use them I just want to check that I wont have any problems with my phone being thr33 branded ? If theres a chance of bricking because of the branding what should I do before hand ?
Used the Tutorial. the blackhawk rom download didnt work. Im pleased to say that i followed the tut to the word and its worked for me no problems. My phone was rooted but i didnt change anything b4 this update. My phone was branded and it is now NOT BRANDED after using this tutorial. I had to change the language from russian to english. Search youtube "how to change language on galaxy S". I also had to update my carrier settings. im with giffgaff and theres an app on the android market for apn update. i used wifi to download and update. My phone is now up and running, ive just goto to repload all my apps. Thank You
Just a question, you bought your unlock code?
Hi guys
Sorry but i am a noob to all this so have proberly stupid questions.
After flashing to a customer rom i went back to a stock t-mobile rom. Problem i now face is when i try to download apps from other companies that are not on the app store eg mfortune they are unable to detect the type of phone i am using so i get "sorry we do not currently support your device" despite being able to do so before rooting and flashing. Is there a way i can change this with the release of skyGo on android this month i want to be able to download it. As it will be only on the galaxy s2 and HTC phones for some time i dont really want to wait.
Any help please???
Did you do a full whipe? Adding some details like model number, the rom you flashed and the one you came from may get you some more useful results.
As for the skyGo app, it won't take more than a day for it to pop up as an APK somewhere on the net.
Hello
Thanks for the reply i am currently in work so i cant look at my phone but will update on which firmware and kernal version i am running
I did however follow this guide to root reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-phones/how-to-root-your-samsung-galaxy-s2-50004972/[/url]
Not sure if that helps i did not however use the guide to flash the secure kernal maybe thats where i have gone wrong.
I will update the thread with the info later.
Thanks again
I have the Galaxy Tab P1000L
I been trying to root it with Superoneclick and with DoomLord Zergrush, I keep failing all attempts, as I did research on this, I found out some info that says it is not possibe to root Gingerbread 2.3.6 (what I have) and that I need to dowgrade to 2.3.5 or to froyo (which is it?) , but SamMobile does not have Froyo available for download anymore...
So basically, I need to know how to root 2.3.6, main reason is I want to be able to change my Tab's HotSpot channel, and I read that this is only possible on a rooted GTab.
Thanks a lot for any help on this, I am new to Android, so trying to learn as much as I can.
( Secondary question: On a quick note, is it possible to upgrade to HoneyComb/is it worth it?)
Hope someone can help, I tried several things yesterday with no success, I had to stop for the day.
My P1000L is from Mexico Telcel with Gingerbread 2.3.6, I would like to downgrade to root, then either re-flash rooted firmware or move up to rooted Honeycomb if that is considered a better option, I am honestly not happy with Gingerbread WiFi performance at all, it wont auto connect to my home WiFi or hold a HotSpot sharing for long before it defaults to AndroidAP +default random password, bfore with Froyo I didnt have that problem. Just want to try custom firmware before I give u on it...
Thanks for any help on this.
Waited a few days but no answer, it must be too newb of a question, the fact is I am a newb at this, i'll try to do my 10 posts so I can do proper searches, this forum is huge.
At this point my better guess is to try downgrading to stock telcel P1000L firmware and then take it from there, GB 2.3.6 just not root friendly at all...
Still, if anybody can offer even a direction to go with this I will appreciate it very much...

Hey You can have any game in your U20i ,there is only one problem that you have ,that is were you able to play a game in your mini pro! Rooting your x10MP does not delete your sd data (but may your phone data, if you upgrade to another firmware and root, will delete phone data ).
heres the link for rooting- forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950324
And another thing please go through x10MP section before asking this kind of questions!

Hey, bro!
First of all, there are no stupid questions, weŕe all learning here .
Rooting, in itself, doesnt let you play more Games/Apps.If you want to use more and especially newer apps, you will have to install a Custom ROM on your device, commonly known as flashing. A custom ROM is a is an android operating system that is different from your latest "official"(made by SonyEricsson) OS. Custom ROMs for our device are very practical, because our latest official Android version is 2.1, which doesnt support many apps. Currently, the best working custom ROMs for our Phone are the ones based on 2.3 Gingerbread.
To get the very best out of your Phone, you will have to unlock your bootloader (which is slightly risky) and flash a custom kernel, which is also part of a new Android OS(tutorials you will find in the following link).
If the procedure of unlocking your bootloader is to risky/difficult for you, there is another alternative: to flash a ROM based on your preinstalled("stock") kernel. For this you HAVE to root your phone, which doesnt have any risks and isnt difficult, install xrecovery (a program to install new ROMs) and then flash a "stock kernel based" ROM. Everything else you need to know is in this Links:
All custom ROMs and Tutorials for xrecovery:

For unlocking your bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462278
PS.: You wont lose any on your sdcard and phone if you just root your Phone. If you flash a new ROM, you will lose the data on your Phone, but not the data on your sdcard.
