This is my second time playing with my phone and i hope this time i didnt brick it. I've just flashing my Xperia X10i from 2.1 eclair to Gingerbread 2.3.3. Flashing it using the Generic 3.xx download from this forum. And im glad i finally done it. Who cares... To the question.
1> What is ROM? Everybody talking about changing Rom, Stock Rom, this Rom, that Rom.. what is the meaning of ROM for android? Flashing Rom and Flashing Firmware is the same thing??
2> What is BASEBAND??
3> What is Generic Number?? Build number?? i've change flash my build number from 2.1.A.435 to 3.0.1.G.0.75 and my baseband version,kernel and Android version change along with it.

1. A ROM is the firmware, or Operating Sytem, of your phone. It's a package that contains the OS, drivers, programs and other odds and clods that make your phone work!
2. A baseband is a special package (kind of like a ROM) that controls the radios in your phone (cellular radio [phone part], bluetooth, WiFi etc.)
3. A build number is the version of the Operating System you are installing. Every manufacturer uses different naming systems for their builds, but usually the higher the letters/numbers, the newer the build. A new build will often contain a new baseband, and a new kernel. If you're lucky, you can sometimes even get a new OS version (as you did)!
Hope this helps!
pudding no root?
ok guys/girls I have been looking on here for a week and a half now but I flashed pudding and im unlocked as well but no root access obviously something i am not doing right. I thought pudding would give root but maybe not? I also have tried booting in recov. but then I can't find anything in there that says root or whatever.
I have the superuser app. dosent work as well as tita. says not rooted? It also says that a newer version is released and that it was put on my sd card but can't find it?
Any help is welcome or just point me to the right thread.
No dummie responses as they are a waste of your intellectual ability when you could have just used that energy to respond with help.

Hello,
i just wanted to flash the Unity V9 kernel on my desire S.
I got an error during flashing "status 7" and i think its because my desire s is on android 2.3.3 and the Unity V9 only supprts android 2.3.4 and 2.3.5.
I just restarted my desire s und realized that my wifi does not work. In the wifi settings it sais "error" and i cant activate it...everything else works fine just the wifi not... I dont want to flash any other rom und want stay stock...
So please help me !!
What can i do to get my wifi working ?
Thx
Check your kernel version in the settings and download the same kernel from here and reflash with the same procedure
Thx for the fast respons...
i found the right kernel nuber but the build number ist not listet there...my build number is 1.47.111.3 and there are only different build numbers...which one can i take? the 1.48.707.1 or the 1.36.481 ?
Thx Man !!
Isn't this a T-Mobile branded ROM?
Btw which version of the recovery do you have and have you made a Nandroid backup before flashing?
Yeah it's a T-Mobile branded rom... Is there also a diffrence betwene the kernels?
Can't i use any of these roms u recommended to me?
I have done a backup with the rom manager from my current rom before flashing.
but i have restored it yet and the error is still there ?
i have CWM recovery 5.0.2.0
So which kernel do i need to install?
As you say your build number is of the stock one so your kernel was not overwritten during the unsuccessful flash.
Have you tried to delete the remembered network and add it again?
The problem is not by the rememered networks... I can't even activate my WiFi !!! Thats the problem. When try to activate it, it sais "error"...so i can't activate it
What can i do now?
There has to be a kernel i can use or am i wrong?
Thx for ur help
htc-kernel-2.6.35.10-g2ee27f5-build-1.48.707.1.zip
Nice Big THX i will try now !!!
THX for ur help!!! WiFi works fine now

No problem. I am glad that you sorted this out and I am sorry if my guidance on your other thread was misleading. I totally forgot that 2.3.3 is still the latest Android version on the Stock ROMs and the Unity kernel is updated for custom ROMs now.
I am afraid that it will be hard to find a kernel for 2.3.3, since most of the Custom ROMs are on 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 already. But maybe somebody else will provide some information or a download link if you still want to try.
Anyway, happy to know that your phone is good again
I have rooted 3 phones prior to this one. I have it all set up and running Refuse 1.7. I have seen that there are a good load of roms available for the infuse 4g. Many of them say 2.3.5, etc. Is that the android version needed by the phone before installing the rom? I am on 2.2.1 and am worried about installing any other rom, than one which has froyo in the name leaving me with only 3 choices. Any help would be appreciated I want to try a miui rom or something else from here but am worried that since I have 2.2.1 when I install one that has 2.3 in its name I will brick.

No bro, the " 2.3.5" or "2.3.6" its that ROMs Android version, not the one needed to install it, still you do need a modified recovery to easily install a custom rom. I would personally recomend this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220088
as a good guide for new guys trying to install custom roms since the instructions are very detailed and hardly would give you trouble. After installing that rom you would have gathered the necessary knowledge to choose your next rom like MIUI or CM7 or another samsung Infuse rom or Samsung port to Infuse.
hi,
phone details are
LG P920, Android 2.3.5
baseband L6260_MODEM_Sic_01.1042.00,
Kernel 2.6.35.7, build GRJ90,
SOFTWARE VERSION LGP920-V20c-APR-25-2012
I have tried rooting thru superoneclick 2.3.3 and tried Megatron_Root_Dan_Rosenberg
with superoneclick, stops at step#7 and with megatron, get the message ädb"is not a valid command.
can someone please help me with a step by step guide for rooting the v20c as i have tried umpteen times with the above rooting tools but failed miserably.
I am more of a noob than a seasoned campaigner, please be patient.
schubeir
Hi and welcome!
Dan's tool is working fine on P920 V20* firmwares.

Megatron Root
Hi,
Megatron root definitely works.
It took me many goes before it actually worked...It kept saying something about files being "corrupt" (it was a while back so cannot remember exact details).
The phone would reboot a few times, and end up being the same and unrooted.
What worked for me was i did a factory reset, and then ran Megatron root again. It may have had something to do with the number of apps i had on the phone. It then finally worked.
Hope that helps.
Hi Paki0402 and vicdo1000
Successfully rooted, I had to rely heavily on google translate for the german lingo
thanks again.
can you also help me with the best way to install a custom rom for V20C? which rom will be the best in terms of eye candy, fastest, smoothest ( may not be all in one rom)
help greatly appreciated !!! ppl like you make us noobs feel protected !
Subir
This is a bit late, but adb is android debugging bridge, and is required to transfer files to root locations without su privilages. Adb is part of the android sdk and in the package of platform tools. To use adb you have to install it and configure it, look on youtube, then from command prompt you can us it.

Hi Schubeir,
CM7 is always a winner in terms of a good stable ROM, but you will lose the goodies that make our phone unique (3D as well as HDMI). Very fast and smooth, and because the ROM includes Theme Chooser, there's a huge selection of themes to choose from that will change your entire Android interface.
I'm currently using Promethius v1.3. Fantastic ROM...fast/smooth and keeps most of the stock LG apps. Feels like stock software, only much much faster and everything works! however, this version i dont think will work with your current baseband. you wont get and service if you flashed it.
Ultimately, there are many good ROMs to find in the Development section, so just have fun trying them out. whats good for me might not be good for you.
by the way, do you have ghost calls on V20C?
Hi,
Did not wait long enough on V20C to know if there were ghost call issues!! the UI was behaving like stop n go n stop n go, lagging every now n then, hence wanted to root and change over to custom rom.
I need to have the 3D and HDMI, purchased this model only for this. I am at present using the DNA_GB 3.3.3 based on the new V21E rom. when i flashed the ThiaiZ O3D V2.7.1 GB.------ NO NETWORK!!!!!
Was it due to the 21D baseband in the ROM? do I then need to flash the 21e Baseband?
which do i flash first, the base band or the ROM?
Cant believe I am trying all this at the young age of 52!!!
Thanks lots for all your help.

OK Schubeir,
I had the exact same problem so no problems. Yes the baseband is what is causing the lack of network.
I know there is any easier way to flash baseband, but i found it quite easy flashing my phone back to a stock v21e kdz, and then flashing a custom ROM built using the v21e as a base. The reason for this is V21E is proven not to have ghost calls, so thats the biggest benefit. it also has much better battery life. And finally, you can flash Promethius which has all the stock goodies (3D, HDMI).
Follow this link and go to point 3 - LG Flash tool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1491870
you must follow it step by step word for word or it wont work. Of course you will need to download the V21E kdz file...jut do a search and you should find it.
After flashing back to stock V21E, root again with Megatron, then flash ROM as you normally would. then flash GAPPS (google Apps) right away also.
Bit long winded, but its a one of and its well worth it getting your phone setup right. With Promethius, the phone runs awesome!
Cheers

Hi,

After this I tried installing Defy Broadband Switcher, But when i run the tool, It is closing down automatically, saying unexpected error has closed the application. Can someone explain why this is happening? What can I do to make custom rom get signal??
Thanks in Advance.
Are you on 21e baseband? If you aren't follow this guide http://p92x.acidhazardrom.com/guides/lg_flash_tool.html.

Hi,
Can you please let me know the baseband version from settings==> about phone==>baseband version
and the Software version.
best thing is to flash the 21E baseband, root and then install custom roms based on the 21E baseband versions. also, the kernels version needs to be matching with the kernel version in the settings ==> about phone ==> Kernel version.
the kernel version may be with + at the end or without the + at the end.
lets see what went wrong!

hi,
lzzar has given you the link http://p92x.acidhazardrom.com/guides/lg_flash_tool.html.
just follow the steps without deviation. your present baseband is V10d. you can flash 21E without worries.
download the V21E from the link. this is the best baseband. after you flash this baseband, you will have to root your phone, and then install clockwork mod recovery. Once this is done, you can flash any 21e based roms. your kernel does not have + in the end. after you falsh the baseband, check the kernel version again. all the roms have built in kernels. in case you want to try other kernels, try kernels without the + in the end and you will be fine.
all the best and keep posting!!

Thanks schubeir, Flashing 21e did the trick. Now when I install custom Rom, I am getting the signal. Thanks for your help. The only strange thing that is happening is with Lewa Rom, I cant seem to open Google play store & cant snchronize. With CyanogenMod 7.2+ v1.7.0 P920 Rom, my phone is getting rebotting a lot. But do you recommend a stable rom that dont have these problems.
Thanks Raj

With any CM based ROMS you will have to flash GAPPS (GoogleApps, you can search the forums for "gapps") separately.
also, CM based ROMS will not have proper 3D (you can take pics, but cannot view) and HDMI. without 3D, there is no point in having the O3D!
you can try ThiaZ, Promethius, Acura3D and other roms based on 21E and various Kernels, overclocked and non overclocked, retaining the 3D and HDMI features.

Same here. I'm from the Philippines and my current version "baseband version : L6260_MODEM_SIC_01.1042.00 and Software version : LGP920-V20b-JAN-10-2012" I can't find any suitable or same ROM on 3D optimus development thread that has the same base. Thanks.. Just got rooted my phone and stuck at the moment finding a ROM. or is it okay to use any of those ROM like on ThiaZ, etc? Thanks!

good day to all..
im new with this phone..this one is a korean version of galaxy s1(shw m110s)
im confused with how to install custom roms here...
what do i need to download..a kernel or a custom rom?
thanks xda
Moved to General Q&A.
The kernel allows the ROM to communicate with the hardware specific to your device. All ROMs have a kernel build-in. If the custom ROM is designed fir your phone, it will work fine. If the ROM was intended for a device in the same family as yours, you can flash that ROM, then flash the kernel for your phone, & it'll work. If the ROM was designed for a completely different device, nothing will get it to work.
Remember to always do a nandroid backup before flashing stuff!!
