[Q] Failed to update to 2.3.3 OTA

I've searched around and couldn't find anything.
I'm on 2.3.3 on 78C, and the update continually fails. Can anyone give me and hints as to why?
I tried it while using the 2.3.2 netarchy 1.2.5 kernel, as well as 100% stock android 2.3.2 with no luck.
I realize that 2.3.3 has screen issues but i'd still like to get a hold of it for the 1.2.7 netarchy kernel.
Any and all help is appreciated.

Are you sure your Android was really 100% stock when you tried the update that way? If you had installed netarchy kernel prior to that, be advised that netarchy replaces the file bcm4329.ko in the /system/modules folder, and that this will cause the update to fail since it doesn't match the crc check of the file.
The netarchy kernel just by itself will cause a failure because it makes the boot.img partition not match the crc in the update scripts.
You need to make sure that EVERY file that the updater-script file in the OTA looks at is actually a 2.3.2 version. That means if you've flashed a custom kernel that replaces modules, or replaced /system/apps like Gmail with something themed, you have to undo all those changes.
In your case, assuming you were really 100% stock, then flashed netarchy, then went back to stock by just flashing a nandroid of the boot.img, I'd say if you just replace the bcm4329.ko file with one I posted in another thread this morning that you'll probaby be able to update.
If not, the script usually shows some text on the screen about what failed.
Your other option is to apply the full 94mb update that OVERWRITES your /system instead of patching it. I don't think that will cause any data loss, but don't hold me to that. I'd be sure to have a current nandroid and titanium backup in case something goes wrong.
The other option is to get the 2.3.3 pre-rooted nandroid from the development section and just flash it with clockwork.
Good luck.

ah, very good. thank you for the reply. I'll probably just grab that nandroid backup with 2.3.3 and root. i appreciate the help and thank you again.

Kernel's?

Can someone explain to me how kernel's work and if I flash one will I be able to get rid of it? Say flash a stock one? Someone please explain.

Make a nandroid before flashing the kernel

The kernel provides the subsystem on which the OS itself operates. It is the interface to the physical hardware, handling access to physical devices as well as memory management. An optimized kernel can make a significant difference over a "vanilla" configuration.
Make a nandroid before you flash any kernels to go back easily. Otherwise you could reflash the full 2.3.3 rom.

thank you guys

If you're using CM7 and want to flash a kernel over it. You can just reflash CM7 without wiping anything and it would override your kernel with stock. CM7 includes stock kernel in it.

Yarr when I upgraded from 2.3.2 to CM7 RC1, my netarchy 1.2.5 resetted back to stock as I lost my Overclock. I just wasn't sure it was a stock kernel or a modified one specifically for CM7 that happened to not have an OC.

[ROM][STOCK] --- Version 4.22.651.2 --- Odexed & De-Odexed ---

In order to cut down on the confusion I created a new thread for the latest update. Version 4.24.651.1 can be found here.
Stock 4.22.651.2 ROM, rooted and ready for your flashing pleasures. This is a completely stock ROM that has had nothing done to it outside of rooting, zip aligning and de-odexing. As always, create a nandroid before flashing.
Notes:
-The Firmware (Radio, WiMAX and PRI) can be flashed by renaming the file to PC36IMG, placing it in the base folder of your sd card and then turning the phone on while holding volume down.
-Odexed means faster first boot and smaller memory footprint but is not themable, de-odexed means a long first boot and slightly larger memory footprint but can be themed.
Stock Update
Stock ROM with SU Fix - No Wipe Needed If Coming From A Stock Sense ROM:
4.22.651.2 Rooted & Odexed - updated 06/05/11

Everything below is from the previously leaked test ROM, not the update that just came out.
These are flashable copies of the rooted stock 4.12.651.1 ROM for the Evo. The only things that have been changed from the leak is the boot.img has been unlocked and SU & busybox have been added. You can find the partition folders these were made from in the original thread here.
Screen filter from the market can be used to adjust brightness for those with novatek panels. (Thank you to whoever posted about that first, sorry but I didn't catch who that was)
If you are already using a Sense ROM you should be ok wiping the dalvik-cache and flashing over top of it. Otherwise you will need to wipe your Data partition.
ROM only without the Radio
Stock 4.12.651.1 odexed (MD5 19752F454802D44EAAF22C0276E95F67)

Sorry to nag because I always appreciate having multiple ROMs but Im just curious if there are any differences between this and Tmartins build?

They are still uploading so the links aren't up yet. These are completely stock and haven't been modified in any way other than what is mentioned in the OP.

Brightness fix
The kernel in this leaked version is unfinished, there's no code for the brightness change for Notatek LCD screens. Brightness Is Only working for people with Epson LCD screens.
For those of us with Notatek screens, just replace the stock kernel with the stock HTC #15 from the latest stable update:
HTC kernel #15
Problem solved. Brightness now works.
Please add to OP!
Update: Make sure you wipe cache and dalvik cache after you flash that kernel, otherwise you will likely get a bootloop or black screen.

That #15 kernel doesn't work for me, it just boots to a black screen. The same result has been posted by several other nova evos, in other threads. Also Netarchy's kernel's are reported to work, but I get the same results (black screen, battery pull)

You need to wipe cache and dalvik cache AFTER you flash the kernel. Try it and it will work.

[Q] HELP! Questions!

Ok, so I just purchased a rooted G2x off of ebay. I'm coming from a moto cliq (yes, make fun of me) So i'm a bit over my head when it comes to custom ROMs and such. I'm on 2.2.2, and need to know what I should do.....
I've been having some data connection issues even if i'm on Wifi, the connection will just drop and won't come back for about 15 seconds. It's getting pretty bad, and i'm exasperated atm.
Do I upgrade to the LG 2.3.3? I don't want to lose my camera's features.
Do I install CM7? will that fix any of the touch screen issues and connection drops?
In your opinion, what would you do if you were in my shoes?
I'm open for all suggestions.

I would go for the update because it updates the baseband which deals with radio signals and may help with your connectivity issues, i would TRY CM7 for a bit and see how it goes. You can backup in Clockword Mod Receovery and when you restore to that backup you will have exactly what you backed up from. So backup on 2.3.3 --> install CM7 --> try it out for a few days ---> restore if you dont like/keep if you do.
heres a link to the LG froyo camera working for stock 2.3.3

Thanks for the reply. I'm still a bit confused though, when you say install 2.3.3 and backup(is that the stock 2.3.3 from LG>). Does that mean i'll lose my root? and I was under the impression that CM7 was GB, just a custom build with root permissions.
Lastly, how would I install the LG froyo camera?
Thanks for the help

Doing the official update may help because it upgrades your baseband.
You'll lose root until you restore you CM7 backup.
CM7 is GB but there is no way to update the baseband currently (that I know of) without doing the update.
You can't currently on CM7.

Again thanks for the quick reply. If i used CWM via NvFlash to backup my current image(2.2.2 rooted) and then updated to 2.3.3 via LG GB. Would I be able to go back to my 2.2.2 rooted if I didn't like 2.3.3?
Thanks to both

Mister Hat

You would be able to. But I was suggesting that you update to 2.3.3 (official) and then install Clockword mod recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847&highlight=clockworkmod) Then backup from there (2.3.3) and flash CM7 (based off of 2.3.5) and if you dont like THAT then restore to stock 2.3.3.
Another option would be to update --> install clockwork mod---> flash this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179748) Which is a rooted GB. This would leave you with a stock 2.3.3 ROOTED, if you like the stock.
Overall I'd definitely go for CM7 though. More features just great overall. Also if you're looking to overclock then it IS possible with the stock GB thanks to Faux (http://twitter.com/#!/faux123) flash the latest G2x kernel on his twitter. Then you can overclock.
Bottom line I would just backup your current 2.2.2, install 2.3.3 through the LG updater (be careful following instructions in doing so) and just flash different ROMs and see which ones cure your issues best and which suits you best.

Yes. After the official update you will have to flash clockworkmod recovery again, but then you can flash any rom you want.

LG Phoenix - Distorted Colors

Hello everyone,
Ive seem to run into some trouble, that I cant find a solution too.
I rooted my phone with Gingerbreak V1.20, and flash my recovery with CWM.
I proceeded to add the Nightly Four E rom, than the trouble began.
My colors on the phone display are diffused and distorted, mainly showing the color green and blue.
I read thatI need to flash the stock 2.2 rom again and it would fix it but it didnt.
Can someone help me with this, its quite annoying.

It's a kernel issue. From what you've stated, stock 2.2, your device never got it's official 2.3 update. So, you have an old baseband P505. You should be able to flash ROMs made specificially for the P505 as well as P500 ROMs. Since your device is old baseband, you also have the option to flash P509 ROMs. P509 never got an official GB update so it's always an old baseband device, same with the P506. The catch with P500 ROMs and most P505 ROMs is they are build for new baseband so an additional patch, old baseband, will need to be applied after flashing the ROM. P506 devices use a different touchscreen than the others so you'll have issues installing one of those ROMs.
The old baseband patch is to get your radio, cell signal, working with new baseband ROMs. I hope this wasn't information overload If you used ROM Manager, it's possible that is screwed up the radio too. ROM Manager is not friendly to the Optimus One device family. Android Flash Recovery, link in my signature, is designed for flashing recoveries via fastboot and fastboot mode. You may, especially if color banding is an issue with your recovery, want to reflash your recovery too.
Oh, and have you seen the LG Optimus One FAQ?

I appreciate the reply you've giving, but this is my first time using the Optimus One.
You stated its a kernel issue, how would I go upon fixing a kernel issue?
You also stated I should reflash the recovery, is there a specific recovery I should be using?

For the kernel issue, you can search the forums here to find some that are compatible with your device. The kernel you need will depend on the version of Android you are wanting to install since there isn't a universal kernel for all Android versions. Most of the newer kernels are for ICS( Android 4.0 ) and JB( Android 4.1, 4.2 ). I've never used it but they say Franco has a kernel for GB ( Android 2.3 ). SweetnSour has a kernel for JB and the AndroidArmv6 Team has a new 3.0 kernel for JB.
If you like GB, then you may want to look at this CM7.2 ROM( Direct download ). It is for a P500, so you will need the old baseband patch from post #9 in the LG Optimus One FAQ. I''m using that ROM on my P509 ATM.
As for the recovery, I only suggest reflashing it if you are experiencing color issues with it too. I use CWM 5.0.2.7 Touch, but it will only allow P500 ROMs to be flashed. It's no big deal for me, but for someone new to the game it can be troublesome. CWM 5.0.2.0 is also a good recovery. I don't recommend using ROM Manager to flash anything. If you should decide to reflash your recovery, I would recommend using Android Flash Recovery for Windows( in my signature ) or FlashImage GUI which can be found in the Play Store.

It seems no matter what I do, the color will not correct.
I've tried switching roms, flashing a new kernel and recovery nothing seems to be working..

Do you still have a backup of your stock ROM? I mean a backup that was made while in recovery mode. If you do you can try booting in to recovery and then try wiping and formatting everything but your sdcard. Then restore the backup you made and reboot the device. Other than that, I hate to say it, but I'm at a loss.

I just flashed the CM 7.2 ROM, and franco.Kernel | 2.6.35.10.
I just about did everything, but the color remains distorted once the actual ROM boots up.
Note* If the phone is off and I power it on, the first LG logo has perfect color and clarity but once the ROM kicks in the colors wacks out.
Edit - The phone no longer allows me to access CWM it's just a black screen.

The kernel is part of the boot image. It's possible that somehow your partitions have been damaged.

Yes and no. If you can find or get a hold of the partition.mbn for your device you can use LGMDP to repair the partitions. The P500 one might work too, I'm not sure tho.
EDIT:
You can also install a recovery and ROM in the same process with LGMDP

you only had to flash this on your p505 after the rom https://code.google.com/p/sweetnsour-kernel/downloads/list; one of these
kernel-20130224_1312.zip version4-CFS-P505-P506 for battery life
kernel-20130224_1306.zip version4-BFS-P505-P506 for performance

You have saved my phone my good sir, and I thank you greatly!
Now that I have the correct kernel, can I install different roms now?

Yes, but only ics and jellybean roms , if you use the kernel on gingerbread you will get a lot of troubles...

I just flashed the unofficial CM 10.1, and booted the phone and the color was diffused again.
So I flashed the kernel again and booted the phone, and everything is working perfectly.
Thank you so much!
P.S - CM 10.1 doesn't come with Google Apps or Rom manager, how do I get that back?

To get the google apps you will need to flash a gapps.zip, but first you need to trim the cm 10.1 rom, because
The recommended gapps package is not quite small enough to fit along with the rom in our limited /system partition. The size of the rom can be trimmed by deleting or converting some system apps to user apps, deleting unwanted ringtones and fonts.

Also
Take off anything that can be installed from Play, same for gapps.zip!!

There is a tool designed for that, is in shinobisoft's signature, oone rom editor, download that tool and in the help docs you will find information about trimming, and what can be removed safely... Here it is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1959023
If this the first time you are installing roms, i will recommmend you to stay in ice cream sandwich, because is more stable, and it has a lot better battery life than jellybean...
