These are the steps I followed yesterdat night to update my Lg optimus p500 to Android 4. I have collected all these from different posts & Sites, So thanks to them who really made this possible. After reading lot of posts you might be confused about the steps & Base band. I m telling you a simple way-
STEP 1- Attach your phone to LG pc suit & update phone software so that by default your phone base band will be updated to 20_ . You can see it from settings > About Phone.
Step - 2 Root Your Phone.
1. First of all, grab root package from the link ( http://depositfiles.com/files/lou8ae8uh )
2. And download needed driver pack , and install on pc then reboot pc (http://depositfiles.com/files/a45wh9f07 )
3. Enable usb debugging mode by going to settings>applications>developer on phone.
4. Extract root.rar to safe place like desktop.
5. Go to ADB folder , if you are on window 7 run cmd7.exe OR if you are using Windows xp then run cmdXP.exe .
6. After starting cmd7 or cmdXP, type following commands in Red Color
adb devices
then
adb shell
(symbol will change to $ or #)
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
7. After doing this, Reboot your phone
8. Now go to root folder on desktop again, and start SuperOneClick.exe
9. Select GingerBreak method and press root button
10. Wait few seconds and its done.
STEP- 3
1. Install Rom Manager from market on phone.
2. In rom manager application Click on install clockworkmod..
3. Boot Your Phone in Recovery Mode (Volume Down + Home + power Key)
4. Go to the main recovery menu and follow the below steps one after another to wipe data, cache and system.
‘Wipe Data/Factory Reset’ –> Yes
Mounts and Storage’ –> Format /system –> Yes.
‘Mounts and Storage’ –> Format /boot–> Yes.
‘Advanced’ –> Wipe Dalvik cache –> Yes
5. Switch off Phone & Remove memory card.
Now You are going to install rom-
6. Put the Rom & Gapp files (You can download from Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614420 ) on your SD Card’s main folder (With help of card Reader) for easy navigation since the recovery mode is tough to navigate with hard keys.
7. Put memory card back to phone & Reboot the phone in recovery mode again, After this choose install zip from sdcard option
8. Select the ROM (the same file that you just downloaded, beta_testing.zip) to install – your ROM will begin to install.
9. Once installed press the back button few times to go back to the main screen of Clockwork Recovery.
10. Choose reboot system now
11. Reboot Phone in Recovery mode & again install Gaapp app from sd card similarly & Reboot phone again.
People who wants exter like SD partition
WARNING!
THIS WILL DELETE EVERYTHING!
(SD CARD AND YOUR CURRENT ROM)
I am going to explain how to partition your sdcard for more user app memory..
This will give you about 1GB of storage to store more apps on!
1. Backup everything from your sd card and apps
(this will format your sd card and apps)
2. Boot into clockworkmod
3. Go to advance
4. - Partition SD Card
5. - 1024M (1GB)
(recommended for smaller sd cards)
6. - 0M
After this step the phone will just sit there for a while just leave it alone and it will say done when it's done!
Important!
- Wipe Dalvik Cache
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
Reboot your phone/ or install a custom rom (your choice as described above)
Download Link2SD from the market
Run Link2SD and a thing should pop and click on ext2 then reboot the phone..
First step can be simplified.
I used Unlock Root tool to root my phone 2nd time after i unbrick it.
And it works!
http://www.unlockroot.com/index.htm
The phone must be in debuging mode.
There are tons of guides already...and u must mention about wiping before flashing the zip! Otherwise this guide is wrong!

Are you sure you followed the steps exactly as you have written?
Coz i think without boot partition, the device would not be able to boot unless you install a new rom(which has boot partition) before switching off or rebooting.

I've tried that already, you can boot into recovery, but not start the OS. Then the Fastboot Mode appears.

Our phone doesn't have official ICS.Only custom made ICS is there.Therefore u need a rooted phone to flash it.Just like flashing custom ROMs.
It wont unroot ur device.
OP: I think u should edit ur post and put a proper guide.Otherwise people will be mislead.

Yep it'll unroot ur device.If ur on a custom rom, u have to flash official firmware (either froyo or GB).
Eitherway it unroots ur device.But now rooting is just a minutes work so better to update the baseband and root again.
P.S. I think u can update the baseband without flashing original firmware, but I am not sure about it.May be u could search for it.
This might help u : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15250036

Hi,
I'm noob that got Vibrant phone (from EBAY) that already ROOTED & ClockWorldMod Recovery V2.5.1.3 - Voodoo Lagfix (I don't how...)
With :
KERNEL : 2.6.32.9
BASEBAND : T959UVKB1
BUILD : BIONIX-V 1.3.1
SUPERUSER V2.3.6
SU BINARY V2.3.1-EF
VOODOO LAGFIX
In recovery I see :
ClockWorldMod Recovery V2.5.1.3 - Voodoo Lagfix (ALL IN RED)
apply sdcard update.zip
wipe data \ factory reset
wipe cache partition
install zip from sdcard
backup and restore
mounts and storage
advanced
voodoo
+++++Go Back+++++
I don't have any backups so I want to install ROM MANAGER from market, I read HERE that if i want to upgrade I need to go go back to stock (I'm really don't know how this version get to the phone and somehow the ROM MANAGER not there...)
Do I must go back to stock or I can download ROM MANAGER, Install it and make something like "Upgrade" - I don't know what is the voodoo lagfix and do I need to uninstall it if I want to:
1. install ROM MANAGER and preform Backup & Restore (most important how to verify my backup OK )
2. Move to Trigger 3.2
Can some guide me with simple steps about how to start (I know that I'm not starting for 0 ether in the phone and ether in my knowledge)
Thanks.
Download Trigger
Install titanium backup, backup all of your apps
Move to internal, /sdcard
Reboot to red recovery
Make a backup
Wipe
Flash, instal from sd
Reboot
Wait
Reboot
Restore
Reboot
this says it all

This says it all, but since you are a noob
by wipe, he means to wipe everything (data(factory reset), cache, delvik cache(thats on the advanced options)
As for the titanium backup if you dont know how to use it, just youtube it or go over the threads here
Finally when doing the flash, make sure the trigger 3.2 file is on the sd card
And NO you dont have to go back to stock
1. Do all this without using the Rom Manager?!?!?!? - If I want to install it just download & Install, no any pre-requisit ?
2. when you say Wipe - you mean to "wipe data \ factory reset" or "wipe cache partition" ?
3. Flash, instal from sd = "install zip from sdcard" ?
4. Wait = how much time
5. Restore = Restore what?
Can you direct me to step by step guide for this or input some details?
Thanks alot

Hi,
I checked your guide and even see the video and I have Q, about the "Rom Manager", I saw In your video that you Use it...
Someone told me that my current ClockWorldMod Recovery is old and I should upgrade it... (I couldn't find in the net \ this forum how to upgrade my current version...).
Someone told me:
1. download from market
2. install it with ROOT
3. click "Flash Clockwork Recovery" and boot to recovery
4. Re-install Packages - I DON'T HAVE THIS OPTION NOW
and from there like in your guide: backup,make all the Wipe, place rom on sd and choose "install zip from sd card"
1. Is it true and should work?
2. should I follow those steps (in this order)
3. should I make a backup before and after I download and "Flash Clockwork Recovery"
4. If I follow this orders should I see the "Re-install Packages" that I don't see now and should I need to use it ?
Sorry for all the questions but I want to "understand" (as much as can) what I'm doing.
Thanks Again
Earlier I was sending you messages from my phone while waiting for an appointment... let me try again...
You have the red voodoo recovery. You do not need anything else. Ignore Rom Manager and all that, you really do not need it, because your ROM replaced this recovery with the stock one. You are good.
Just download the rom
make backups
go flash the rom
enjoy
If you have a specific question or want a better explanation, just let me know.
responses in red.
asher_pa said:
1. Do all this without using the Rom Manager?!?!?!? - If I want to install it just download & Install, no any pre-requisit ? No, you have a recovery that allows you to make backups and flash roms already. Because of this, you can use the step by step guide I gave in post 2 and just be merry.
2. when you say Wipe - you mean to "wipe data \ factory reset" or "wipe cache partition" ?
Yes, and dalvik in advanced like another pointed out.
3. Flash, instal from sd = "install zip from sdcard" ?
Yes
4. Wait = how much time
After you flash the rom, let it just sit for about 10 minutes, then reboot, don't mess with the phone.
5. Restore = Restore what?Your apps if you backed them up... restore your launcher, contacts if you dont use google.. whatever you want to restore, just not system apps (green system apps like wifi and bookmarks should be okay though, exception to the rule for 2.2 > 2.2)
Can you direct me to step by step guide for this or input some details?

when you say: "your ROM replaced this recovery with the stock one." do you mean that after install the new rom I need to make ROOT again? (sorry for my noob)
I make all install (without SIM on the phone).
after the reboot I saw the Android and after few scondes he say to inset sim....
Do I was have to install the new rom with the SIM in it?
PLEASE HELP? (for now I don't know what to do so I'll wait the 15 min)...
ANY SUPPORT? - is it OK?
thanks.
1. Install the ROM with a SIM card in...or if you didn't, insert it like it asks you to.
2. ROM Manager IS clockwork recovery. It is that menu you went into to flash the rom (can be green or red depending on your kernel installed). You don't need ROM Manager because whoever had the phone before you already installed ROM Manager at some point and hence, you have the Clockwork Recovery now as you saw.
3. After you install the new ROM, the boot up will take a long time. It is setting up all the system and configuring the operating system. After it finally boots, leave your phone for 10 minutes and just don't touch it. This gives it time to do a lot of configuration stuff it needs to do when it first starts up. After the 10 minutes are up, restart it. It will now start a lot quicker (like normal) and when its up, you can use it anyway you want. Hence, some first things to do would be to restore your contacts, programs (if you backed them up, settings, etc)
3. I really recommend you read a little bit more before you do flashing like this next time because if people here are not nice and don't lead you by the nose (or if you follow a step wrong), you can **** your phone. The procedure is easy. It is fairly foolproof but it is still advised that you have basic knowledge of what you are doing.
There are a lot of sticky threads on the forums that explain what things are. I recommend you have a look.
Thanks It look like everything is OK now (I read about 15 post before done this...)
Now my Phone Setting look like this:
FW : 2.2
Build : FROYO.UVKB5
KERNEL : 2.6.32.9
TRIGGER VERSION : 3.2- FINAL
BTW:
I'm still see "ClockWorldMod Recovery V2.5.1.3 - Voodoo Lagfix (ALL IN RED)"
1. Does my CWR was needed to be updated too - because its not ?
2. Should I update my kernel too ? - Is there any guide fort this?
Thanks.
SomeOne
I just want to be sure that everything is OK, and find out why my CWR didn't upgrade as well...
Thanks.
OMG!!!!!! Just follow the instructions! It's not rocket science; geez. I know of most noobs who wouldn't even ask this many questions even AFTER the guide/tutorial/step-by-step instructions are in front of them. I give you my word that you WILL NOT brick your Vibrant just by trial and error.

I don't understand why you are so set on the CWR upgrading.... and just an FYI, the red recovery (.3) is a higher version than via Rom Manager (.2).
Be happy. Move on to something else now that YOUR PHONE IS FINE

Since you're already on 2.1, go to settings, then application settings, then development and enable debug mode on your phone, run the flash tool and click root, the tool will do every thing for you, when it reboots, choose ask root perms, then allow it on your phone to get superuser access, when that has been granted, the flashtool recovery option should be enabled, click on that and install recovery to your phone, you can then install the pre-rooted gb in the developtment forum and follow instructions to install a custom from from there also.
EWJet
Sinse you are already on 2.1 you should try the EWJet rom,

In order to use link2sd, you'll have to partition your sd card, you don't necessarily need to do it, it's only done to save app space on the phone itself by installing the apps on the sd card, you can skip that for now, here's how to go about install ewjet rom.
Requirements:
1. Rooted 2.3.3 GB ROM
2. Xrecovery installed
3. SD card
Steps:
1. Choose the version of EWJET you would like to install, you said you already chose the SE Flavoured 2.3.4.x, so skip this step.
2. Download the patch all the way at the bottom, step 5 in his thread I think. You'll have a choice of kernel's to choose from, I recommend freekernel patch, it's stable and smooth.
3. Copy the patch and the ewjet main rom file to your phone's sd card root.
4. Make sure your phone is charged, at least 10% is okay, but I don't encourage that low battery level.
5. Reboot insto xrecovery
6. Wipe cache partition, do a full wipe (factory reset) and then go to advanced options and wipe dalvik cache.
7. Press back to the main menu, choose install custom zip.
8. Scroll down using the side buttons to the EWJET main rom zip file and select it.
9. Choose yes and install it.
10. Reboot the phone, give it a couple mins to boot up and settle down.
11. Reboot into xrecovery again.
12. Choose install custom zip once again, choose the patch zip you downloaded and install it, if it ends in an abort, don't worry, it's fine.
13. Wipe dalvike cache and reboot your phone.
14. Voila! You're all done, install your apps etc and go about using it as per normal.
You're all done, if you want to use link2sd, then say so and I'll walk you through that.
Works thanks!!!!
Hey,
i'm on Stock rom, Froyo 2.2.2, stock kernel..
i'm using Go Launcher Ex, and can see my available RAM over the total 418MB..
when i boot my phone i have around 250MB (using only basic services, FB, Gmail, Minimalistic text)
NO WIDGETS..!!
after i run a few apps it keeps going down..
even though i end them and then force close them in settings..
still the RAM keeps decreasing.. it reaches upto 90MB free over 418MB..
any ideas to this n00b problem??
In stock rom default apps keep on get starting after sometime you kill them, I too experienced it .
but i even chk in settings > running apps.
no unwanted apps.. :/
and
as ur sig says u're using stock GB. so arent u still facing this problem.?
try system panel --
Code:
http://market.android.com/details?id=nextapp.systempanel.r1&hl=en
will try it out. btw any other idea that wudnt cost me 3$ :/
No im not on stockrom , im using mik's cm7 rom 6.5.8
YOu can also try android booster, i used it when i was on stockrom at i felt it was good
plz take a moment n answer this..
i'm not usually scared of experimenting, as i rooted my phone d day i bought it.
but custom roms n kernels, are they really worth d pain?
and will this problem be solved if i get one?
also hows d battery?

Did u install custom recovery ?
if not then do that first if you r rooted.
For installing custom recovery easiest method is to install "Rom manager" from market , click on "flash clockwork mod" , thats it.
Then take a backup from recovery. after that you can try any rom bcoz u will be at least risk.
And for your questions
Yes custom roms and kernels (of CM7 especially) are more optimized and gives more performance whether its in gaming or normal operation of phone.
Yes you problem will be solved if you move to proper custom rom.
Yes Battery life is more when compared to stockrom.
On mik's Rom camera is working and all functions and apps are working but only you need to use a different video player than default, 6.5.8 is stable and the best i hav used till now.
thanks for the patient help..
its on top of my to-do list now..
i'll revert back to you in a few days if i face a problem (fingers crossed)
and i use mixzing for music n videos, so no stock player is just a bonus
woah man, you gave me a heart attack
should've told wen i click backup, it'd boot via clockwork (scared d **** out of me wen i saw dat screen )
anyhow
backup is done..

The system will automatically fc unwanted apps when it requires more ram.And why do u need that much of free ram.
Let me explain u:
More free ram doent mean more battery.But force closing running apps will drain battery because they will automatically start again.So the best option is to let the system decide what to do with your device.
lol i know FC doesnt save battery. i want more RAM for smoother using which apparently i'm not getting..

Had my Transformer Prime rooted for a while now, wanting to take the plunge into Custom ROM-land. I'm familiar with rooting and flashing roms on phones as I've done so on my old Eris, my brother's Incredible and my current Thunderbolt. First time flashing anything on a tablet, though I imagine it will be very similar. Figure I'd start with Virtuous as it seems to be the most stable right now. These are the steps as I understand them (correct me if I'm wrong):
1- Unlock bootloader using ASUS' app/tool.
2- Download Virtuous ROM and put it on the root of my sd card (or internal storage)
3- Download ROM Manager and flash CWM.
4- Power Off the Prime, then hold Volume Down + Power until I see a screen with some text on it, then boot into recovery by quickly hitting Volume Up.
5- Make a nandroid backup of current ROM.
6- Wipe Data/Factory Reset (I believe that is all that is needed as far as wiping because the ROM automatically wipes caches)
7- Install .zip from sd card.
8- Reboot
9- ???
10- Profit!
If I'm missing anything or any of this seems incorrect please let me know. Otherwise I'll be taking the plunge in the next day or two. Thanks in advance!

4- Power Off the Prime, then hold Volume Down + Power until I see a screen with some text on it, then boot into recovery by quickly hitting Volume Up within 5 seconds of the text appearing.
5- Make a nandroid backup of current ROM.
6- Wipe Data/Factory Reset (I believe that is all that is needed as far as wiping because the ROM automatically wipes caches, if it doesnt then wipe the dalvik for extra safety(its through the advanced line))
7- Install .zip from sd card.
8- Reboot
9- Install busybox through market (first app) if getting superuser/root errors
10- ???
11- Profit

For #3, I'd recommend the ROM Manager method, it's an official build that's got fix permissions working. Something else too I believe, but I don't remember it at the moment.

OH, its out? I didn't know.
Thanks Jdeoxys for clarification on putting the .zip on the root of internal storage only versus sd card. And yeah, I read recently about official CWM support so I was just gonna flash that through ROM Manager. Awesome! Probably take the plunge after work tonight.

You most certainly want to put it in the "sdcard" folder on your internal storage, not the root folder.
And please use the CWM from Rom Manager.
Use Titanium Backup to back up apps if you want.

hi i have used mindcr 2.9 rom i like it but wanted ro try different rom. well i have flashed mindcr many times cause i deleted something i need. so i toght i should try ankther rom in this case i chose simplicity v4 . but i cold not go into download mode only recovery so i wanted to flash back stock rom but i coldnt tried everything epcept the usb jig .. anyways i sent it to repair.. ill be getting it tomorrow. it was working only thing download mode did not work i tried all methods no luck . so here is my question... can you install another rom over mindcr with cwm? i search and many people said yes. so i did an phone got hard brick. if it dont matter then the procedure that i followes was wronf. are all roms installed trhu cwm in sd ca rd always the same dprocedure??? if so should i used the mindcr that i been using. any link for simplicity v4 ultimate i dont want v5 procedure from mind ans simplicity were almost the same are roms always installed the same procedure? i think if u can install a rom over anoher rom installed procedure from place i followed bricked my phone... thanks
It is best to install a Rom over stock. Even flashing over a Rom works sometimes. And yes every Rom is installed through cwm or e3 recovery. Simplicity v4 should be flashed the same way as mindcr Rom.

When you go into CWM recovery, there should be a section called Backup/Restore. Back up here, it Will take about 150mb-350mb of your sd card depending on what you have. So if flashing your Rom goes wrong you can go back to CWM and restore.
Then follow the procedure which is
- Root
- CWM
- Mount everything (it should look like unmount/system, unmount/data etc)
- wipe data and cache
- Advanced » wipe dalvik cache
- Mount everything again
- Install .zip from sd. Find the Rom and flash it.
This procedure will definitely work. If it doesn't just restore and try again.
Also, don't say thanks, but press it if I helped you
