The latest OTA ICS from sprint works fine with hboot 1.4. Just be sure to flash the right .zip. Try this Here
Basic Sprint Stock Rom, zip-aligned with a few simple extras.
I'm on 1.4 and tribulattifather 's from works (well)
No need to update hboot with his rom like some others do
But does that include the new KERNEL as well? I noticed that the kernel build wasn't listed. Mean ROM is reportedly working for 1.4 as long as you don't take the new kernel. So my question still remains. Is anyone working on a way to make the new release / kernel / firmware work for 1.4?

New kernel. MikeyXDA put out a new version of meanROM based on the new ota except uses the vm leak kernel. Works fine for older hboots. Flash the new kernel with it, get bootloop if on older hboot.
So I did some further research and to answer your question, no. Nobody has got the new kernel to work with older hboots. If you want to flash the new kernel, why not upgrade your hboot? People have had success doing that, no ill affects. plus its easy to revert to hboot 1.4 if you want.

Hi all sorry I'm new to this,
So my friend gave me his used Samsung Fascinate and told me its already rooted, has a custom ROM, and CWM Red. I've confirmed the CWM Red All. How do I tell what ROM I'm using? I need to install PDroid but it requires me to patch my ROM file.
kernel 2.6.35.7,
build SCH-I500.EH03,
firmware 2.3.5,
baseband S:i500.04 V.EC09
Also how do I got about patching the ROM file? Do I just use the Pdroid patch file, and patch the ROM file, then reflash with Odin?
I've only used aokp and blackbean, but it would tell me in about phone. I think the rom you are running is based on gingerbread, I started flashing with ics, so I don't know what roms were gingerbread based. I would follow droidstyle's guide and flash something newer. The latest paranoidandroid is jellybean based (4.1.2) and it will be much faster. Odin is mostly used to flash your phone back to stock, so it would normally be the first step.
Yep,, look in :: Settings | About phone
It should tell you something,,,
If all else fails you could download the ota updater program
https://www.otaupdatecenter.pro/
It may or may not have a new ROM,,, but it should tell you what you have
and i highly agree, follow droidstyle's guide and update your rom to the newer jellybean stuff

Can you flash a custom kernel based on the newest source with a ROM still on the 3.15 base?

You can flash some of the older Elemental kernels before v3.0 I'm pretty sure
Yeah, should be fine...rom devs usually recommend using the kernel that came with the roms base for best performance, but it will still work.

I switched to Operation Jellybean from MeanBean last night and the theming on the ROM is killer. However being so used to having long press back to sleep and camera to wake, and then getting used to to swipe to sleep/wake I really really don't like turning the phone off and on with the power button. LOL Made a Nandroid and flashed the kernel back to Elemental 3.2 and things have been meshing just fine all day. Haven't really put the phone down yet and haven't had any issues.
Hi,
I've been experiencing a flickering screen for a while on my Droid DNA with Viper 1.2. I've tried to re flash my rom and it hasn't helped and i'm pretty sure it's a kernel issue anyway. I initially had the cubed kernel installed and tried to go back to the stock rom using the file available here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024776
That didn't do the trick so I tried installing the kernel that is listed on the viper page but it only has boot.img file listed and no modules so my Wifi isn't working. It looks like the modules are supposed to be included with the ROM but that isn't working for me for some reason. It seems to not flicker now but my Wifi isn't working.
Any idea where I can get the correct modules from?
Thanks!
You can't use kernels based on the new base l, such as cubed, on roms based on the new base, such as viper 1.2
Just flash a different custom kernel, such as beast mode
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
beastmode or cpalmer's kernels should work for you. if you want to go back to the stock one with viper 1.2, fastboot the boot.img and reflash the ROM (the modules are included in the ROM package)
Hi, just bought an og ,coming from HTC phone. There r some new things it looks like. What is a EFS ? Back up EFS partition ? I'm gonna used the my att og on straight talk , any things I should watch out for ? Should stay 100 % stock until service is activated? I'm looking for a near stock stable optimized rom, any to recommend ? Which kernel is good for it ? Htcs have hboot , it looks like lgs use different things , how do I go around flashing radios ? Excuse me for throwing out tons of noob questions , gonna start somewhere
0 help lol
Welcome. There is a zip file that you put on your external SD card somewhere in the optimus g forums that will backup your efs partition.
Edit: I found it for you if you haven't had any luck finding it. Also.. The efs supposedly holds your imei number and stuff.

Ic, so how would EFS be deleted ? always just had CDMA phones, never heard of ESNs deleted by mistake. Are radios to be flashed in recovery too ? My HTC flashes radios in fastboot.

It is real, there are a lot of hard bricks because of it, look in the Optimus 3D P920 forum, a lot people lost their IMEI and couldn't get it going. And yes, you can flash different radios

MysteryEmotion's eg8 ROM is the newest and may have the best chance of being actively maintained in the future. He also builds his own kernel with tweaks.
Ic, what version android is MysteryEmotion's eg8 ROM ? Has anyone tried houstonn's Stock 4.1.2 Jelly Bean LG-E970 At&t ? I don't need the latest version android or anything , mostly seeking for stability and everything work.

Mystery's eg8 is based on 20j 4.1.2 stock with addons and enhancements. I think Houstonn's is a port from another OG that was released with jellybean before AT&T got the update.
Can you please clarify a bit? Do you mean stock LG or stock Google/Android.
Stock LG: Either go with MysteryEmotion's eg8 Or SnowJBLeaopard's SnowJB -almost forgot SlickRom, that is super debloated, but not really to my liking. (forgot who posted it)
Stock Google/Android: Either Shelnutt's Unofficial 10.1 Or houstonn's Vanilla Rootbox. The latter has a lot of "bells and whistles" while the former is basically stock. Also should mention TuxAttack's Beanstalk. Also a lot of bells and whistles though.

Personally I would go with dvhexers CM 10.1.2, and his included kernel is quite good. This is stock android/CM though, with a bit of searching and patience you can run LG Home on top of this, with the original weather/clock and calendar.
i.e.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198225
So then you have the best of both. Too many options for you not to get out there any try a few. But @dvhexers CM10.1 I think was perfectly stable.
I am using the JellyBean ROM. I have been on it for about a month now and haven't had any issues that wasn't caused by me
Though, other than that I suggest mysteryemotionz
okay, I'll probably go with ME eg8 and his V6.1 kernel for 4.1.2. just being on the safe side , should i flash a JB radio for this rom ? if yes, do i flash in RECOVERY ? i have found a radio called CWM-ATTJB-Radio, is this the right one ? I am being carefully about this because my HTC flash radios in Hboot with PG86IMG files... as far as flashing kernel, do u guys recommend flashing with Flash Image GUI for this phone ? and is wiping Dalvik always needed for flashing kernels for this phone ? i thanked everyone that helped.

Sorry, for some reason I called the ROM 'Beanstalk' Jellybean.
It was ported from the infuse 4G. I have tried just about every ROM and this one is my favorite.
Maybe it is just me, but again I haven't had any real issue with it. I did have a kernel crash from MysteryEmotionz kernel though. I then flashed Smoochas and all is good.
The crash occurred whenever I tried to run a QR code app. (any QR code app)

ME's eg8 is modified stock, it should come with his kernel already. Yes the radio's flash in CWM as zips, you can manually push with ADB/Fastboot commands, but why bother.
What are you referring to by "Flash image GUI" ? If you mean "clockwork mod recovery" or "TWRP" then yes. Once you download the freegee app from the market, it will give you the option for either, choose which ever you like more, personally I prefer CWM. Yes always wipe dalvik cache after you flash a kernel, so it can recreate the DEX files for that particular kernels methods of execution.

Flash image GUI is an image flashing app from the market. MiRaGe, known for his rom and kernel works for Optimus V and HTC Evo V 4G, recommends flashing his kernels with this app. I have been using it to flash kernels. So i was just wondering if this would work with kernels for this phone , i guess every phone is different.

I'm not familiar with those apps, and don't recall seeing them mentioned here at all. FWIW, I personally avoid any apps that flash things. They may make things convenient, but I've seen too many issues caused on too many devices by apps that flash stuff.
Just read the relevant threads to learn about what you are doing, and flash manually from recovery. That way, you're in control of what you're doing. Less chance of snafus caused by incompatibilities...
i am in complete stock . rg8 is 700 mb ?.... most roms i use for my HTC are around 150..
Thanks everyone for all the help. Now I'm running eg8 , everything seems fine execept the first time I took a picture had a very strange crash. The screen went blank and codes started rolling up the screen , it went on for about 3 minutes then phone restarted itself ...
