[Q] LG P500h with recovery issues...

Okay, so I read and read, searched and searched. So far I'm pretty stuck.
I did a ton of research before taking my LG P500h, and flashing the ROM because I wasn't a fan of the Froyo android setup. Did everything properly, ran an nandroid backup, everything that I was told to do.
Rooted using Gingerbreak APK, custom backup using Amon_RA custom recovery. All done using the latest USB drivers LG updated me with.
I am currently with Koodo Mobile here in Canada. Pretty much an offspring of Telus Mobile. Currently I am running Cyanogen Mod 7 the 6.5.7 beta build, and the phone is not bricked, or giving me any errors or hassle.
The problem is that I cannot use the 3G network or use the Koodo network. It only defaults to Telus towers. No android market showing up anywhere either. From what I've found on here, there doesn't seem to be a bugfix solution to this, and no settings I've been able to change on the phone has helped my situation. Maybe I missed something.
So, I decided to take it back to where I began, back to Froyo 2.2.1 . This is where it all went wrong. Tried going through the Nandroid backup and restoring that, I was given an " Error : run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb! " . Okay, I'm not exactly a Java programmer so I'm a little intimidated. I do however have Android SDK going on my laptop.
Some more searching revealed the KDZ_FW_UPD.exe flashing method. I got the right KDZ file for my Koodo phone, V10V_00.kdz and began the process. Everything checks out, good to go, started update. Wait, phone not found? WTF! My laptop recognizes it, says my phone is connected and working. No problems here, just can't find it? UGH.
So, I need someone to either give me info on getting it to flash the kdz, or get Cyanogen Mod 7 working properly on my device.
Please help, I'll fully admit I'm a noob to this, and not an expert programmer either. But, I know computers and I fully understand what I have done so far to my phone. Just not enough to fix it.

Okay, I have gotten some things working on my phone. I think I am settling into Cyanogen Mod nicely. I missed the Google apps flash zip so I have my market and stuff. Its a shame the data does not work though. Oh well I will keep updating as it gets developed.

GOT IT! finally...
Finally got my phone recovered to OEM specs. I had to restore my computer back to before I installed all my drivers and reinstalled all my USB drivers from there. Phone connected to USB properly, ran the KDZ updater, and it sucessfully installed the V10V kdz. All is well.

finally good luck.. enjoy androiding..

When you flashed the cyanogen mod rom what program did you use to flash the phone? And how did you make a rom backup? When you reflashed the stock rom did it still have all the original bloatware?

LG Optimus P500h TELUS became dead during Upgrading
Hi everybody!
I have LG Optimus P500h Telus. I purchased from Kijiji. I don't have any papers or documents for that so i cannot claim its warranty.
I was trying to upgrade its version during upgrading my device was stuck so I disconnected and plugged out its battery and inserted again. When i tried to turn it on. It never turned on again. It never ever appeared emergency mode again. I tried for several times by pushing home, power, and volume up and down buttons, and escape buttons. Now its just like dead. It never showed any sign of life. If anybody have any idea what happened with it and how I can recover or where I should take this one for repairs. I am in toronto, canada.
Your help and suggestions will be appreciated.

Skyrocket No Sim Issue PLEASE HELP ANYONE!

Ok guys,
I just bought a skyrocket today, unlocked it to Tmobile. Phone worked great for a while, then I rooted it using doomlords easy root method. The Phone restarted, ever since my sim is not working. I tried EVERYTHING. My sim is working in my brothers skyrocket, its not my sim card. My IMEI and everything else is visible, my baseband is visible. I tried everything I did a factory reset, I flashed to sky ICS successfully and still no luck.... I've been at this for 5 hours now, someone ANYONE please help me! What do i do?

Does your brothers sim work in your unlocked rocket? Maybe try odin back to full stock and see if it works
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

is your sim not working or your data not working ? Those are 2 different issues. Does it day invalid sim. Or no sim . Or is your data just not working

I've had a similar issue while running Sky ICS where it told me to insert a sim. Try flashing a t-mobile radio and see if that helps. I believe someone posted the t-mobile KL1 and the Telus KJ3 radio on one of the other threads that worked for me.

Did you ever get it working? My brother is having this same issue on a skyrocket I just sold him. Just says NO SIM. He tried flashing the t-mobile radio's but that didn't work, and is actually what caused it to start saying no sim.
Another thing...did your skyrocket ever show a yellow triangle after rooting? His didn't, and I thought they should show a yellow triangle at the startup after rooting like other samsung phones.

I never got a yellow triangle after rooting my Skyrocket. and I had that issue with the sim. What I did was delete the APN and redid the APN manually. If on tmobile let me know, Ill get you the APN or you can google it. Also, I use the Juggernaunt 5.0 ROM...worked like a charm. BUT..I did notice that Im not gettin full 4g speeds as I thought...but faster than edge!

So you had a No Sim issue, but it resolved by deleting and manually setting the APN? I'll try that tomorrow, hope it works.

So I fixed the no sim issue...I changed the radio...and it recognized sim but still wouldnt let me set the mobile network and connect to any network (no calls, or internet). So I tried Juggernaut with a tmobile radio...had to manual select tmobile as the mobile network...super poor internet speeds...only 2g.
So I adjusted the bands (dial *#2263#*) to WCDMA 1700, and now I get full 4g speeds (~3500 kilobits per second from a speed test). Woohoo! Thanks everyone.

It's good that you have a suggestion as others may be facing the same problem, but the specific users from this thread probably no longer have the issue / have moved on

[Q] Broken Recovery, No Signal, No Ability to Save APN

Hey everyone,
I used to have a Sidekick 4G that was rooted and ROM'd so Im not neccessarily a noob to this, but still a bit. I bought an LG Optimus T (T-Mobile) as a replacement for my broken Sidekick. I'd had the phone before so I knew it was a decent phone, and for $40 on eBay, a deal I couldn't pass up.
Here's the story: I rooted my phone and got a ROM loaded on New Years Day. ROM was fine, but I decided I wanted to change to a newer version of CyanogenMod this past Saturday(1/5). So after testing out a few ROM's, I came across one that unfortunately didn't flash properly. When I tried to go to use the phone, the main Android OS crashed. I had a black screen with the nav bar displaying no SIM card(which was accurate), the time, battery life, and no signal. Once my boyfriend got home and was able to get the phone to finally boot into CWM and flash into the new ROM, even with my SIM card in, I had no signal. I thought maybe it was an issue with the APN so I went in to try to fix it and none were listed. When trying to add one it, it never saved.
My recovery in CWM goes back to the broken ROM, unfortunately. When trying to unroot, Superuser begins to not respond when its trying to uninstall either busybox or Superuser. The phone works fine, I can connect to WiFi and use it and everything.
My question for you today is does anyone have a recovery of the stock ROM that they can post that I can flash into, or any tips on how to fix this? I thought maybe my SIM card is fried for Android, so I thought of calling into T-Mobile to have them activate a spare I have laying around, but would that fix the issue?
I really appreciate any help that you guys can provide. Thanks in advance!

[Q] Radio problem with custom ROM

I'm hoping for some friendly advice - I have a Desire S which was rooted last year and I installed CM10 to try out JB. All has been working well )part from the occasional reboot) however couple of days ago the battery started draining quickly, the phone became very hot and the wifi stopped working. After various wiping of caches and rebooting I decided to try some other ROMs (Fallout Evolution V5, Miui, IceDS) and although they all installed OK I still have no wifi and now the mobile network won't work.
It worked on Fallout at first but when the wifi wasn't working I wiped and re-installed and it hasn't worked since. It does see the O2 network although the phone hd previously been unlocked to work with Vodafone, so I think I may have rolled back the radio somehow.
At this stage I'm not entirely sure if it is a software or hardware problem, and I din't know how to test the hardware.
The phone is currently as follows:
UNLOCKED
Saga PVT ship s-on RL
HBOOT -2.02.0002
Radio -3831.19.00.110
eMMC -BOOT
July 31 2012>15.41.32​
Do I need to update the radio? If so, which version should I use? And do I need to s-off the phone first?
Any other help would be appreciated.

Did You tried installing stock rom again in your mobile

No I haven't. I assume this would re-install the correct radio?
Not sure where to get the stock ROM, or which one was shipped with the phone.
If I did get it can I flash it through recovery - I'm using 4EXT?

Boot into bootloader and run following command
fastboot get cid
Than you can know which ruu to flash. But don't forget to downgrade your misc version before fishing ruu
No ruu are flashed from PC

OK, I have managed to get the phone back to it's stock ROM which is O2 in the UK.
I had previously unlocked the phone but it now won't accept anything other than an O2 SIM. When I scan for networks only O2 is seen. I still have the unlock code but when I put a Vodafone SIM in it doesn't prompt me for the unlock code. I'm just getting a Limited Service display.
Is there any way of forcing the unlock code prompt screen - say with keyboard numbers or via Fastboot?

do i understand things as they are?
do you intend to use simcards of another operator?,
well... that`s what branding stands for,
to make sure
you`ll not use any sim from different carrier...
is your phone simlocked as well,
or is it only a branded rom ?
..but why bothering to flash the phone with branded RUU,
(when there are quite a few generic ones, still floating around,..)
except, when one wants to claim a warranty..may be...

I flashed the O2 ROM as it was what was on the phone when I bought it and I was trying to get back to a radio that would work.
I have since managed to get the phone working OK with the Asda/Vodafone SIM but I am still having problems with the wifi (this is where it all started!). whenever I switch the wifi on it scans and then reports that it is unable to scan for networks, after 2-3 attempts the wifi switches itself off.
I'm still trying to find out if it is a software or hardware problem. Other than that all is working well on the Fallout v5 ROm I have flashed - although it does make the phone run hot.

I changed the ROM to IceDS v8 which seems to run cooler. I think part of the problem was with Titanium Backup running and the wifi kept searching for a network.
I am still having the wifi problem as it displays 'unable to scan for networks'. Having searched the internet extensively and tried a few different so called fixes I have come to the conclusion it is a hardware problem. When I get time I'll see if I can strip the phone and see if I can find the cause.

Well I stripped the phone and checked what connections I could but still no wifi.
I have used the RUU to get back to stock ROM and everything is fine except the wifi not working. Does anyone know if the wifi hardware is on the PCB, and if so where it would be in the phone. As the phone is in excellent condition I am thinking of getting a cheap phone with broken screen and just cannibalising it with my phone and building one good phone. It's just knowing what part of the phone contains the wifi hardware.
Any help would be appreciated.

[Q] WiFi problems help

I just recently brought myself a moto g LTE coming from a nexus 4 device.
I would like some help or advice anything to sort this little problem out I have.
I unlocked the bootloader flashed a few custom ROMs but what I noticed is the device is connected to the WiFi but no data is being transfered. I try using chrome or play store but I get nothing loaded. I have to reboot the phone a few times then it works and then it stops working again after a while.
I don't seem to have problem with any of my other devices I've even changed the channel on the router but I get nothing.
Using data on the phone is fine, but nothing for WiFi.
I hope somebody out there can help with this.
Thank you

If this happens in all the roms you flashed, try 1.) another router (to check if that is the problem) or 2.) flash a different radio.
If this happens on just this rom, 1.) make sure the rom is suitable for your model or 2.) ask in the designated rom thread and ALWAYS mention your model, rom and rom release version. Search XDA on how to logcat and make a proper bug report.
Good luck
