What firmware can be flashed on a p509t? - Optimus One, P500, V General

Hey yall, i was wondering what firmware can be flashed and using what method is the safest for an Optimus P509T? I ask because as far as i know theres now TMO stock firmware for that phone and i know they can be totally bricked in just a second. I can only reach emergency mode so keep that in mind for a response... Thanks!

If your talking about the Optimus T, that's what i use now. I've flashed a bunch of firmwares and been gone up to this point. Unless yours is different?

Sorry, mis spell error. What i was trying to say is that as far as i know theres no firmware for the OptimusT specific. Also that i can only reach emergency mode is there a specific safe way to flash it.

Alright. I get what your saying now. Let me explain.
The p509t is compatible with ALL p500 roms unless specified. I have yet to see one not specified. there used to be some roms that were p509 specific, but their links have died or been lost. Now what you need to flash is Clockwork Mod recovery. There are other recoveries but this one is very simple and most stay off with it due to getting cyanogenmod. Look up clock work mod in app store. From there in the app flash the clockwork recovery. To get back into recovery after turning off press power + Volume up + home. Glad i could help.

Ok, i think i didnt make myself clear lol... The phone is stock in the lg screen, no hardware buttons response or whatsoever. The only thing i can read using the hardware buttons is emergency mode. It will not boot to home screen so my guess is that clockworkmod is not an option, just flashing stock official. Thats what i want to know the better method to flash back to stock. By the way thanks for your help M8

Oh... Well there is a tool, don't know the name at the moment.

However, there are issues using the new baseband. Any p 500 rom using the old baseband should have no problems.

[FAQ] General FAQs + Quick guide to rooting/flashing roms [23 MAR 12]
mihir287 said:
After many posts trying to help newbies, there are a few questions that are alarmingly common. I hope that this thread will remove such questions from the development section.
For the guide, refer to the next post.
General
Q. I have an Optimus T (P509) will all optimus one roms work for me?
A. For a detailed explanation of this issue check this post.
Q.Will roms for the new baseband on the Optimus One work on the Optimus T? Can the new O1 baseband work with OT?
A. See this post.
Q. I flashed a different baseband on my Optimus T, how can I get back to the original baseband?
A. See this (Doktornotor's guide mentioned in the post is here). Or, if you feel this method is too complicated, just flash the downloaded .kdz file using the KDZ method.
Bricking
For bootloops or for phones not booting, follow this first (for such problems not involving LGMDP):

Q. I have some weird fastboot commands and the phone doesn't turn on!
A. Use this to unbrick.
Q. The phone is not responding at all!
A. Refer to [HOWTO] Phone not responding at all - last chance to repair.
Q. I was using KDZ updater and now I am stuck at boot!
A. Turn off the phone and do a hard reset (home+vol down+power) first. Not booting still? Use this thread to unbrick. See this picture guide if you want to try again.
Q. What about LGMDP?
A. Members doktornotor and cyber_avijit have nice tutorials/FAQs regarding the usage of LGMDP here and here respectively. You can also refer to this picture guide if you want.
If any question has not been mentioned, then search through the discussion thread for your rom first and see if it is a problem pertaining to your rom. If you are unable to find anything, you can ask it here.

Allright, i have done everything fine as far as i know but still receiving errors on while flashing. The phone reboots but it gets stock on the lg logo still. This is the start of the log file it produces, still it looks like everything is flashing but no luck when it reboots.

I think you would get more replies, if you change the title in your original post to reflect your problem.

[Q] Help with S2 Regarding ROM Manager [Yellow Triangle] | GS2

Hello,
First off I want to say that I enjoy this website, a lot of helpful information, a lot.
Here's my problem.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S II (AT&T Version), and am also new to the whole Android experience.
I have rooted it using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285894
So far, nothing too complicated. But then I wanted to try out a Custom ROM.
Purchased ROM Manager, and decided it was best to back up first only to find out I couldn't because I get this error:
-- Install from package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
-- Appling Multi-CSC...
Istalling Multi-CSC
Installation aborted.
I have looked EVERYWHERE on the net to find at LEAST 7 different methods for fixing this, but I am concerned. I rather have the experts give me some advice.
The places I have looked at requered me to use some CF-ROOT method that required me to check my kernel number (i.e XX-XX-KF).... but, my kernel is only 2.6.35.7, no letters.

Please do NOT use Rom Manager for anything having to do with the phone...
Following these instructions should solve all the problems you have described.
First download this file "SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar " and flash it using Odin.
Here is the download link: http://www.multiupload.com/QQKN7NJAFT
Then use the SuperOneClick you have already downloaded and ROOT the phone. (if its not already rooted)
After its rooted reboot the phone.
If you have not already copied a custom rom zipfile to you sdcard then now is a good time to do it.
Be sure the custom rom is intended for the SGS2 AT&T phone.
I would highly suggest to use the "Unnamed v1.0.3" custom rom created by GTG465x because in my opinion
after three days of intensive testing I have found it to be the best and the most bug free reliable custom rom
to be found right now for our phones.
Here is a link to the rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1299474
Flash the rom in CWM recovery, after its done flashing be sure NOT to reboot the phone yet.
Instead select the "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" option in CWM then select "reboot system".
After thats done your phones problems should have disappeared.
(I will be waiting for you to click on that nice and big "THANKS" button after your phone is ready to use )
p.s. please do NOT use rom manager for anything.

search? read?
i dont have time for that crap. i need to get my question out there as soon as possible, with complete disregard for forum rules/etiquette.
honestly....this forum is already on a course for disaster. i hold no hopes for proper usage here.
Truly sorry for not searching as much but you must understand I'm new to this and I have to get used to it. I won't make the mistake twice.
And thank you Misterjunky, for such a rapid response. I would have posted a thank you earlier but I am at work. As soon as I get home I will try it and let you know if I ran into any problems. But the first question I have is if I need to put the phone in Recovery Mode (i.e Hold 2 Volume Buttons thing..) to install the SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar?
I guess I will follow the directions in the link you provided for the UnNamed ROM. Hopefully nothing goes wrong.
Thanks again.

Entropy was talking about this thing at the top of the forum section called a sticky.
**AT&T SGS2 Frequently Asked Questions(FAQS)**
it answers every one of your questions....and didnt require a new thread to do so. it didnt even require searching, but just READING the name of the thread.
you see, the thing is, when you come to a forum, especially one as big as this, if you have a question, you can rest assured that there are probably hundreds of others with the same question, and its probably already been asked before. people create these stickies so that the information is plain as day and doesnt get buried in the forums, but all you have to do is read the title of the thread and you would think, 'hey! i bet someone else has already asked this!'
its called common sense and forum etiquette. all we ask is that people READ the info ALREADY out there, before they go create another thread. there is no need for 100 threads to all ask the same thing, when there is one thread that already addresses that question.

Opps… TiBu Frozen Apps, lost root, bad to worse

I hoping that someone may be able to help me with this… I recently rooted my note via instructions here and installed CWM and TiBu. So far so good!
I began freezing some of the bloat and then found this post to see what else I could freeze. This is were things went wrong… I guess that I may have frozen something that I shouldn’t have because my home button stopped responding and then the back button took me to a black screen.
At this point I thought that my phone was nearly bricked, so I downloaded the firmware from SamMobile and flashed it. Still have a black screen, but I received a text and pop-up through chomp which let me know that my phone was still alive! I installed Go Launcher and can now can use my phone as 'normal'. However, I no longer have root according to TiBu, CWM and the like. I can still boot into download and recovery modes.
I found this thread, but it didn’t do much for me.
How’s that for an introductory post?!!

ICS. I've seen all of the tools in that thread, but not sure if I need the screwdriver or the hammer to 'get my root back' in this situation. Ultimately I'd like to be able to do it without having to do a full wipe/recovery.
Freezing an app will not brick your phone...
and in this case....you did not need to flash a new firmware. you could have simply pulled the battery, then put it in and booted to recovery to restore a backup.
but of course, the new firmware did break root....
bigjoe is right on the links info. it has all you need to start again.....and I "would" re-root using the odin CWM flash method......

H--o--o--t !!!!
Bigjoe for moderator !!!
Good to go!! Apparently twlauncher was inadvertently frozen which explains the black screen. Had I realized what the problem was, yes a simple recover from backup might have fixed it.
So tell me this, as I am still learning here... What is the difference in the method in bigjoe's thread vs trying to re-root my phone by the method I used previously? Whenever I tried to install SU after the original method I used, I would get a failed signature error. No problems with using bigjoe's recommendations.

The difference is ....bigjoe is a god among men, and probably led the Crusades in a previous life.
I'm quite certain he drank beer with Khan and Hun. Now ignore those historical timelines because bigjoe was there ...period !!
Those things, combined with the fact that he invented the first telephone, make him knowledgeable in all things android and beyond ....so take his word for it ...
And ..after every post ..please use the phrase ....." BIGJOE FOR MODERATOR"....
While it isn't the Crusades over again, he certainly deserves to be one.
After all ...he did invent the telephone for cryin out loud .....LOL
Bigjoe for moderator !!!!!.......H...O....O...T !!!

[Q] LG Optimus G! The Updating Process?

Hi guys, to all of you who have updated your phone, what was the process? What did the Phone say? Last night, i kept trying, and I got the message, "Connection failed caused by authentication error."
So i went to my Settings > Applications > All > com.lge.omadmclient > Force Stop > Clear Data
Then, Settings > About Phone > Software Update > Check For Update
I kept repeating those steps, until eventually, it started saying "Communication in progress." I let the phone sit all night last night, hoping when i woke, i'd get a notification of a software update. So, Today, after I didnt get a notification, i went to my settings, and checked for a update, now its giving me "Communication in progress." My Wi-Fi In/Out Data lights are flashing like crazy, (As it did last night) but its been 30 minutes, and still no notification.
What should i do next? Does this mean that my phone is downloading the update? How long should it take? What are some of the signs of the update?
Thanks, I'm anxious to get the update!
EDIT:
I forgot to let yall know my phone's software.

Also, does anyone have a download link for the latest LGNPST? I can try to update the phone to the 11c software using LGNPST, then update to 20j using OTA. Has anyone done this? Did it work?

LGNPST method does work.You have to go to IRC to get LGNPST. First post in this thread explains how to do this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2013067
If you are rooted and have unlocked bootloader you can just flash stock JB ROM posted in this thread. Make sure you flash ROM and new radio posted there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2067871
If you are completely stock and not rooted, you can call ATT and ask them to push an update. Several people here suggested this worked for them.
I don't know exactly what the "communication in progress" toast message means, but it does not necessarily mean it's downloading the update in the background (it may just be doing a background check). I saw it a couple dozen times while checking for updates that never downloaded. If you're rooted, look in /cache/fota and if you see a file called dlpkgfile and it is growing, then it is downloading the update. If you see one there that is about 18 megs in size and it's from 3/31 or 4/1 or so, it's the 11c download but it didn't actually manage to use it, and I was not able to find a way to actually have it installed, though it should be doable (/sbin/lge_fota seems to be a key there but all it did when I ran it was reboot my phone after a few seconds, so obviously it needed something else).

Actually, I've been searching this forum for the past few days. Most of the questions I asked we're not answered, I seen no answer to how the process works. I seen some post on the LGNPST, but many of the questions we're ignored or they did not go in depth with it, which is what i'm seeking. Some may have been answered, but answered incorrectly. Please don't come on my post hating.

Many of us have done this this past week. I chatted with them twice yesterday and neither time did they give me any hassle about pushing the 11c update. In fact the second guy spent about an hour and a half trying to get the update pushed (turned out it was my fault it wasn't working). It's possible not all the reps know about it.
For more info on the LGNPST process check out the thread in one of these forums about running it on windows 8. I have windows 7 but it had enough detail to get me through it.

I updated my phone to the 11c update through LGNPST, then I updated it OTA to 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. It works like a charm. So for all of you guys stuck at "Connection failed caused by authentication error." Just use LGNPST. If you dont know how, PM me.

I have a pretty dumb question re: this process, if you don't mind.
Can I just use the same version of LGNPST that worked for the failsafe restore to stock 10o, or do I need a new version of it from somewhere?

[Q] [Q} P769BK - After Hard Reset, still cannot get OTA

Hi All,
Some background info:
I have a P769BK, rooted on P76910e running 4.0.4.
The phone has been rooted and I have previously overclocked it through the Basic L9 Overclocking instruction.
I had also frozen some of the t-mobile bloatware using the running the T-mobile P769 bloatware disable script.
...so when I heard about the P769 jellybean OTA upgrade, I tried to get the OTA upgrade and even tried the forced checkin (dial *#*#CHECKIN#*#*) but I keep getting the same 2 results:
1) phone says it is up to date
2) phone downloads the P76910g update but I get that awesome dead Andriod icon after it reboots to install

I've tried to do the Hard Reset thinking that should revert everything to stock but I get the same results.
Any suggestions?

Hi All,
Some background info:
I have a P769BK, rooted on P76910e running 4.0.4.
The phone has been rooted and I have previously overclocked it through the Basic L9 Overclocking instruction.
I had also frozen some of the t-mobile bloatware using the running the T-mobile P769 bloatware disable script.
...so when I heard about the P769 jellybean OTA upgrade, I tried to get the OTA upgrade and even tried the forced checkin (dial *#*#CHECKIN#*#*) but I keep getting the same 2 results:
1) phone says it is up to date
2) phone downloads the P76910g update but I get that awesome dead Andriod icon after it reboots to install
I've tried to do the Hard Reset thinking that should revert everything to stock but I get the same results.
Any suggestions?

The update is not ready yet. That is why you have not received it.

well i'm posting about why a hard reset would still prevent me from upgrading to P76910g, which according to t-mobile is the correct up-to-date software pending JB's P76920d.
the other threads about flashing roms and such seem to say that a hard reset would fix everything back to square one, which isn't the case for me.

I am in the same boat. Can't update to 10g. Hard reset doesn't help. I only rooted mine no overclocking or custom recovery. I tried unrooting but that didn't help.
I had exact same problem and the only thing that worked for me was flashing the stock 10g update. It was a hassle and I loss root but it will work.
Got the JB update yesterday and loving it so far!

Yes, file and all directions are in thread titled: [GUIDE] FLASH Any LG Factory ROM (kdz) WITH OFFLINE FIX METHOD [UNBRICK]
I'm a newb, so sorry, cannot link
To get the update and to install it
to get the update go to settings click on 2G networks only and the go back to apps got to all scroll down to google services framework force stop and then clear data. then go to about phone and search for the update you should recieve it. if you dont try it once or twice. to install the update you have to have all the stock bloatware and the original recovery image. if you dont you wont be able to install it will fail. if you dont have a stock phone you will have to either flash with offline kdz or find each individual file to download from app store here is the link for kdz flashinghttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085344

Thanks but that didn't work, either. I just don't understand this. I guess we all just need to wait it out.
EDIT: Well, I guess I was right. Wait it out. No sooner did I post this then my phone gave me the update notice. Maybe there's something to the 2G thing. Or, just keep trying. Thanks.

More information is needed before we can suggest anything that would help. Start by telling us everything about your phone, what it was running, why you were going back to stock, etc.

Maybe you think we can just look into a crystal ball and divine what is wrong with your phone and how to fix it? No, we need more information. So, since you can't think what information to provide, I'll ask specific questions. You will need to answer these questions completely and thoroughly. (I hope you will, as you did not answer very much of the questions I posed in my last response.)
So lets start with those:
1. Tell us everything about your phone. How long have you had it? Did you buy it new or are you the second owner? What operating system was it running before you started the process that caused your question? I assume this means what operating system was on the phone when you tried to root? One would assume that since it wasn't rooted, it had been stock? Was it working normally before you tried to root?
2. What exactly did you use to try to root the phone? What method did you use, or specifically what did you flash to achieve root? You didn't get the yellow warning triangle from flashing stock, so it must have occurred when you tried to root.
Let's start with that. If I need more after you answer these, I'll ask.

Am I correct in assuming that after you first tried SuperOneClick, the phone was able to boot normally? I am guessing you were able to boot the phone or you wouldn't know that superuser.apk was installed.
And how did you know that the root didn't work?
I'm not sure exactly what SuperOneClick does, but I don't think it will work with stock 4.0.2.
By the way, since the S4 was released, a lot of people have left the I777 forums so I don't know if you'll find anyone else to help besides myself. I'll try to check on this thread as often as I can, but you may have to wait hours between messages.
Edit: Oh and have you tried to boot into recovery. If not, try it now. Hold down vol- vol+ and pwr continuously for at least two initial boot screens. And if you by some chance can enter recovery, I'll need to know that information.
Alright listen, you're gonna be fine.
You really dodged a bullet as your phone is SOFT BRICKED.
This is easily fixed, the phone I'm typing this with had the same issue.
First, get into download mode and make sure your battery is out, this is often looked over. As long as your battery is out before odining you're fine.
Now using ODIN I'd flash an official ROM from the Samsung site. Get that tar/md5 file and hook it up to PDA. Start the flash.
If it fails flashing try it AGAIN.
If it fails IMMEDIATELY then try a different ROM.
