For the life of me I can't find a Clockworkmod version for my girlfriend's L40G. I have it rooted, but I'd like to put a different ROM on it, as it's very slow. Any help would be wonderful. Is there a CWM that will work for this phone?
I think you should use different ROM

I have an LG Phoenix P505 on froyo and it is rooted. I want to install ROMs and create a backup through ROM Manager but my phone isn't listed there. So can someone tell me if it is safe to use the LG Optimus One P500 ROM for the Clockworkmod recovery?
nothing in this forum is safe for you to use unless stated otherwise. the only thing i have seen that is meant for your phone is this. flashing anything on your phone that is meant for the p500 will cause you to brick your phone or create a lot of problems that you will never want to find uot
Hey guys...
I'm using LG Optimus Z. Please show me install clockworkmod recovery for optimus z ( Know as Ku9500/ Su950)
Thanks very much....
hi everyone. im new to this forum and android and wanted to ask a couple simple quetions. im wanting to root my VM Optimus V but dont really know where to look. can someone recommend me the best and simplest way to root it and over clock it? over clocking is the only thing i really want to do, dont need the fancy roms and things. also, does rooting void your best buy warranty? or is it just installing custom roms? thanx to who ever responds
Where is Dr Notor when you really need him?
SuperOneClick, Franco 1.1 and SetCPU.
And yes, unless you KDZ restore to stock before you RTM it.
optimus v can be rooted using super one click..overclocking? there's so many applications nowdays, as suggested above setCPU, antutu's, system tuner, etc..you may also try setVsel..

if it's an ov with froyo 2.2.2 and zv5 baseband, superoneclick won't work, you have to use gingerbreak.
you have to install a custom kernel with overclock enabled to be able to go over 600 MHz.
newer ov's have a screen from sprint which is incompatible with older custom kernels, you'd currently have to use BobZhome's kernel from IHO roms if you use a gingerbread rom,
or a Xionia kernel (zefie's v13 or v14, which have usb mass storage problems, or drewwalton's xionia redux) with a froyo rom like stock, and xionia also works with gingerbread roms too.
xionia kernels new enough to use are built for the optimus s, and so they have the home and menu keys reversed; you have to use a button remapper with those.
rooting voids your warranty, like was said earlier.
kdz is nearly useless for the optimus v, there is no firmware to flash with kdz except sprint optimus firmware, which will destroy your ability to use data on the virgin mobile network.
So I'm sorry if I shouldn't be creating a new thread for this. It's a pretty unique situation and I couldn't find it anywhere.
I had upgraded my P500 to official 2.3.3. I then decided "hey, I should try out some custom roms because this sucks...". I rooted with SuperOneClick, managed to install Clockworkmod recovery and the set out to find a nice new rom. I soon discovered that there weren't really any exciting ones that piqued my interest because of the new baseband. The baseband thing is also confusing the heck out of me. Anyways, I managed to KDZ Updater back to my stock firmware because I figured I might as well do something good out of this. So now I'm on 2.2.1, specifically LG v10v. This is a Koodo phone if that helps at all. Also, I'm pretty sure CWM is now wiped and super user access is gone too. Spent a good amount of time putting everything back on the silly thing yesterday lol.
First question: Am I now on new baseband or old baseband (having flashed with
KDZ)?
2nd: I keep seeing references to baseband 10 or 20 followed by a letter. Am I on baseband 10v? If I want to use a custom rom, do I need to change it to 10 a,b or c or something like that.
3rd: Seems like mixed reviews on this one all over the place. Can Rom Manager be successfully used on the P500 to install CWM or does it brick it?
Any other info you can think of would be terribly helpful. Please go easy on me! I'm not sure if I made a mistake by creating this post or not...
You can use RomManager to flash cwm, in the past you could softbrick your phone, but this issue is already solved.
With froyo you are on old baseband, so you can use almost any custom rom for old baseband. No need to flash any baseband for these roms.

Hello Crispus222 !
If you are on stock 2.2.1 V10v flashed by KDZ, you have the old baseband.
So if you wanna try custom ROMs you should search those who support the old BB.
But don't forget that you can change baseband without flash stock ROM via KDZ.
ROM Manager flash cwm recovery without problems on rooted phone, I have done this many times
1) Old baseband. If you've used a full stock 2.2.1 or lower rom, than you're on the old baeband now.
2) I'm on the old baseband and mine is 10v. So I'm assuming you're now on the old baseband! Congratulations!
3) Yes. ROM Manager CAN be used on the LG Optimus one whether you have the old or new basebands. Just install ROM manager, choose flash ClockworkMOD and then scroll down to "LGE Optimus One" and hit flash. After that, boot into recovery and you're done!
enjoy all goodies .
u r on old baseband after kdz flash.
now root using z4root . (file sharing sites remember!)
install rom manager from market and install cwm recovery n yeah it works without a glitch but its ur luck too.
reboot into recovery n there u go !

You are and have always been on OLD baseband as you have to flash the new one in a seprate step.roms don't come with any baseband included.10v\or\10s don't matter as that is OLD baseband.20g\or\20a is new baseband.Rom manager can Install CWM recovery on any p-500 sccuessfully.I would ROOT 1st before installing.The brick comes from flashing a corrupt (over the air) downloaded rom & flashing that.TWRP 1.1.1.1.XL is my choice for recovery but CWM is fine.The LGDMP tool is also my choice for flashing baseband & rescue my phone when things go wrong.ROMs run on either old baseband or new but the newer ones run both (but download the link you are going to run)choice.Hope this helps !
Thanks so much everyone! I appreciate the help a lot.
hi to all, i am using lg optimus g e975 Korean in Pakistan. android 4.1.2 installed on it. now i want to upgrade it to higher version. I tried LG Support Tools, it find an upgrade foe my cell phone but after downloading a large file when it start upgrading process and my phone goes into downloading mod it gave error that please remove your battery and then insert it again and then try again... i tried many time but same error.. i actually want to upgrade my android software to kitkat 4.4 is it possible? if possible then what is the best and safe way to upgrade my lg optimus g e975... thanks ..
There's no official Kit Kat for your phone. You would have to use a custom rom like CyanogenMod or something along those lines. The LG Support Tools sucks. You should try using this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498102
I gave you the link to the latest KDZ (official firmware) for the Indian version in your other thread. I'm also not sure if many custom roms support the language you are looking for either. Basically you would want to root (Safe Root or Framaroot should work) then use FreeGee to unlock bootloader and install custom recovery. Then boot to recovery, backup rom, and wipe, and install new one.
im buying this phone from this guy but 1 problem theres no roms on it just stock, how com? cause my htc senation i flashed about 20 roms, there so much but lg l70 d321 has none, can som one make it cyangenmod or anything good. and also its already rooted with towelroot but its on stock recovery i want cwm recovery or something.
CAN SOM1 PLZ MAKE A ROM FOR THIS PHONE. thnx
