Hi guys,
I bought an LGP500 yesterday and I'm already messing with it *ofcourse* I'm trying to root the device and install some ROM's. At the moment I'm on Android 2.2.2 (V10h), so no rooting is possible (yet).
I figured out I have to flash back to the original ROM, and then start flashing to a prefered ROM, but I can't find an original ROM from Belgium in the list The_ERROR provided.
Could I just take another original ROM, fe. the one from the United Kingdom, root the device, flash another ROM and still have the possibility to have my Android phone in dutch language, or do the custom ROM's only support the English language?
Thanks in advance!
Hmm, after some reading I think it should be possible since most custom ROM's are stripped from the European one..
Can someone still confirm this?
Have flashed my phone to the 10a UK version, but I get an android.process.acore error the whole time and I'm unable to download anything of the market (I need ASTRO file manager so I can run z4root).
Any tips?
Hi,
I also just bought P500; I am wondering since you flashed a completely different ROM, what are the dangers? I cannot find my original ROM so I was wondering if I will brick my phone if I just use another one.
Well, I checked what software version my phone had (10h after the LG update) before the flash, and I found an according european original firmware 10h KDZ, so it's kindah my backup I guess. If anything goes wrong, I just flash my phone back to the 10h
I think there are no real dangers here, only not all languages are supported. I'm not sure though

1st install z4root then root ur phn after rooting i will tell u what to do...go ahead
The problem I have is installed z4root. The only way I know how to install an app from the SDcard is through ASTRO file manager, but somehow I can't download any apps from the market after the flash
Is there any other way I can install an apk from my SDcard (without root)?

Aha, I installed another original ROM (10a EUROPE), and I still got the same problem.
But I tried a reset (or how do you call that) by pressing POWER + VOL_DOWN + HOME, and my 10a was installed succesfully, with everything working like a charm.
Now I can root and flash to custom ROM's Yay!
If anyone else has problems, I'm glad to help you guys out.
After you flash your device down to 2.2, from 2.2.1, is it possible to go back to your original 2.2.1 somehow? is there a way to back this up before flashing to the original 2.2?
^^ no. nandroid backup is possible but only with 2.2 as it needs root & custom recovery.
Yes, you can find the original ROM's here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875881
I'm not sure which version represents 2.2.1 but I think it was 10c.. not sure though
I'm sure about 10a being 2.2 and 10h being 2.2.2
Good luck
should i install 2.2.2 for my phone ?
now using 2.2.1,maybe want to reinstall the rom again
coz my phone keep hang,example switch on phone hang,open an application and jump to homescreen and other else
and can i know the country code for malaysia ?
i can't find it at all
If you only want to update your phone (without using custom ROM's), you can just use the LGMobile update to flash your phone to the newest version
Hi, Nice forum, I have Learnpad LPO-478WD I need to install new firmware on it so I can use it as an android and to remove the restrictions, I’m not sure which firmware to use with this tablet and how to install it on this tablet because I couldn’t get into recovery mode to reset it, any ideas please?
Thanks in advance.
Did you ever have any luck with this???
I have one that doesn't boot, only showing the logo....looking for firmware atm....
Someone know a way to make this upgrade? I've searched for a long time on internet but I didn't find it. There isn't cyanogenmod. I installed this rom (A7000) in needrom, version s141
Then, I tried to made system update but i couldn't because appears a legend: androindsetting.com (or something like that) stop working.
Then, I tried to install a cyanogenmod for A7000, but didn't work neither.
have a suggestion? Please
So my LG broke. In the meantime until i get a new proper phone, i bought a cheap off-brand android phone. However, when attempting to root it, i bootlooped it, and like an idiot; i realised i forgot to make any backups of any partitions. So my question is, are there any universal versions of android i can flash over using the abd that will make the phone work again?
Thanks
No each kernel for the device is built just for it. You will need to stock room from the oem. Good luck as normally it is not available
Alba
I have an alba 10" ac101cplv2 and have successfully rooted it with super su but can't seem to find a custom ROM for it. Would like to install twrp but unable to find a version for my tablet. I'm hoping that someone could point me in the right direction. Just a cheap tablet I know but would like to open it to new possibilities like using SD card as storage for apps like have done with my s5 mini that runs beanstalk 7.1.2.
Can not root Alba 5
Does anyone know how to root Alba 5, i'am finding it really difficult. It is on Marshmallow 6.0 i have tried many rooting apps and have attempted to root through pc and through the phones recovery mode. Also when i go in to recovery mode a broken android logo comes up and it says something in chinese under it. The phone still works perfectly fine would really appreciate some help thanks.
Im interested in picking this phone up but my main holdback is whether or not you can root it. Ive been living that root based adblock life and I cant go back. Non-root based adblocks just dont work as well as the rooted ones.
Has anyone rooted the phone? does magisk + adb flash work? Has anyone rooted CN phone with global rom?
You should be able to but I would be cautious.
Firstly, the service for unlocking the bootloader seems unreliable from some reports (apparently you need to use some Chinese portal for requesting an unlock file - if you don't have luck getting that or it doesn't work, you're stuck and I bet getting help from Lenovo is not easy). Secondly, unless I've missed something, I don't see proper official ROM image downloads from Lenovo for extracting/patching boot or safely reflashing the device from bootloop/soft brick, so you have to go with whatever is available around for download here or elsewhere on the net and hope for the best. Even more important since you don't have custom recovery options (like TWRP) on this device.
In summary, yes, but it looks like risky business. This device doesn't seem to be root friendly...
