Hi there!
I'm having a HUGE problem with my G2X, i accidentally flashed both the Optimus 2X Firmware and Baseband on my phone, and now the system is messed up (battery not registering, Screen not changing brightness, etc..) and also i get NO reception from my provider, Wind Mobile. I flashed the wrong firmware as Wind sells the G2X as the O2X, so i followed the wrong guides.
If anyone knows how i can get back to stock firmware and restore my baseband, please help me. I got the phone 2 days ago and i don't want it to become a fancy paperweight! Please help me!
Thanks for your time everyone.
I had the same problem like yours. here is a link. on 3rd page there should be a link on post # 21. It works for most of the people. try it. Let me know if it worked for you or not. good luck man. I know how it feels.

Hi guys a couple of months ago I posted some problems with my g2x about having no service, I haven't fix it yet cause there is no baseband here on xda due to lack of interest from developers or maybe some other reason, so I bought the phone on the streets so no replacement, what i have rigth now is a mini wifi tablet, I have tried any possible method posted here on XDA, The only thing i have not tried is to flash the v10f sw via kdz, cause there is no file like this on the hole web, please if anyone have access to this file and can upload it me and everyone that comes here with baseband problems looking for hope to xda will be thankful. We all hope somebody has it. Thank you very much in advance.

What happened when you tried to update via the LG tool or KDZ tool? I am assuming you tried following the directions in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1180331
yes i did everything step by step on that thread but my baseband is still corrupted
You probably know this already, but older sim cards have also been known to cause issues.
Ok so here is what happened i have a rooted g2x i have tried to install all the roms especially ice cream sandwich. when ever i try to flash a rom on this particular device everything works except receiving text messages. SO i have a second g2x (rooted) and i flashed the rom and everything works fine on the second device. so can somebody tell me how to fix this problem for the first device, by the way my first device is a replacement from tmobile because when i bought one it wasn't working so they gave me a new one also i flashed roms on it and it was working fine but the replacement device is not working. any help is appreciated.(can someone tell me how to delete post on the forum) . i am running the latest baseband and android 2.3.4. v21y

If youre not recieving texts, but the other one is, it could be a problem with the phone itself. and if youre running stock software, it makes me think its even further towards the hardware side, although it might not be. I suggest also trying out a different rom, or getting it replaced. and to delete a post, you need a moderator to delete a post. PM one of the G2x mods with a link to the post to get it removed.
If it's only text that you are having trouble with, try switching the SIM cards. Maybe it is SIM related or carrier related issue tied to the particular number. If the SIM from the other phone works, the nothing wrong with the phone or ROMs.

is there any other way to fix it without getting it replaced.
so i recently read a thread on howardforums on now to root virgin mobile's samsung galaxy sII. i just got one for christmas and wanted to try it out. apparently i used the wrong kernal when flashing it over to my phone using odin as they specified. so when it was done i attempted to turn the phone on and all i got was the samsung galaxy sII logo and a yellow triangle. i have tried every way i know possible to get this off of my phone. i even went as far as to research repairing this problem using the siyah kernal. i can longer start my phone i can however get into download mode and recovery mode. i have tried to do a factory reset over ten times but it doesnt work. the only other thing i can think of is to flash the original stock firmware over to the phone and hope for the best. does anyone A: know where i could get the original firmware for the phone or B: have any better suggestions on how to fix this issue. i would greatly appreciate is as it was a gift from my mom and i dont have insurance on the line and even if i did. they wouldnt take it back because they would find out that i rooted it. and i cannot afford to go out and buy a new one any time soon. once again any help is much appreciated please get back to me ASAP!! i've learned my lesson and if i can get back to factory settings i am not going to root this phone ever again!!!
Yes, wiping and flashing the stock ROM is what you need to do.
To find it, try going to your device's forum (and/or searching) - and make sure it's for the correct carrier.
Mistakes happen, it's okay. If you'd still like root access, just go slowly and re-read everything a couple of times before putting it to practice.
Edit : Also, take a look into how to make back-ups of your phone - that way you can try things and not have to worry about losing everything and having to start over.

Double check your model number. It will be printed on the label underneath the battery. I believe the Virgin Mobile Galaxy SII is the SPH-D710 (aka the Epic 4g Touch), NOT the GT-i9100. This is the forum for the i9100. If your model number reads as SPH-D710, then you're looking in the wrong forum. The i9100 doesn't even work on the same network as the Epic 4g Touch. Firmwares and kernels for the i9100 won't work on the Epic 4g Touch.

You're right mine is the SPH-D710. thank you. i went to samsung mobile and put the sprint firmware for the SPH-D710 on my phone. but now my issue is that when i turn the phone on it loads up the sprint logo instead of the virgin one and it now has all the stock sprint apps instead of virgin ones. andddd. the most annoyhign of them all. i cannot get MMS messages to download no matter what i do. i've tried searching online for what to do i have found this Menu>settings>wireless and networks>more...>mobile networks> press menu> press ADD apn...etc etc. the issue for me is i get to mobile networks and hit menu and it does absolutely nothing at all. i have downloaded numerous apps like chomp sms. go sms pro. hancent sms. nothing helps. though this sprint firmware is fine for now. i'd love to know where to get the stock virgin firmware Samsung Mobile doesnt seem to have it. if anyone knows where to get it i'd appreciate the help i know i am posting in the wrong forum. i'm pretty much a noob at this. and now that its got sprint firmware on it i dont know if i can take it to a sprint store to have them fix it especially since my phone does say that it has been rooted in the past when i go into download mode. but however it does say i am running stock at the current moment....someone please help!!

Dude. Why don't you ask in the Epic 4g Touch forum? Users of that device would be more likely to know where to find what you're looking for.
i did that already bro

It's a start. Now just stop opening multiple threads for the same issue.

You opened two threads. One in the Epic 4g Touch General section, and one in the Epic 4g Touch Q&A section. Forum rules state to only post once for a particular issue.
Hey guys, I need the original stock ROM for my beloved L3. If you guys are thinking that I'm the one asking about the same thing in Yahoo answers, you are correct. Cyanogen9 and MIUI doesn't work nicely on my phone. The graphics aren't good, it's all dark and the texts are most of the time missing letters. Please help me out. I tried the KDZ Updater and it also doesn't work, it would even open.
I would greatly appreciate as much help as I can get.
Thanks

I have the same problem and I think my phone is a knock-off L3. The screen has a very bad quality.
I checked with IMEI.info, and my "L3" comes up as a Nokia!!!
***.imei.info/?imei=354851053307144
Can other LG L3 owners please tell us if your box says "Made in China" or "Made in Korea"?

I am at the same position over here!!
I tried so many different ROMs and none of them worked fine. I have problem with the graphics. I don't know what to do.
Please if anyone find a stable ROM share it here with us.
BTW my cellphone is "MADE IN CHINA"
do you mean it's better if I leave my phone L3 on the original rom it's more better .. ??
because I'm trying to root my phone E400F to change for Cyanogen9 ??
and you can try LG drivers and support tool for making recovery I think it will turn your phone back to original rom .. maybe !!
Hello, I have a problem. I had a cm9 rom. I don't like it. I flashed to stock V10D rom. Now screen is blured. I want to flash V10N, but I can't, because usb is not working. I think usb port is working, because when phone is turned off, plug charger in, then phone show lg logo and start rebooting. I think it's a rom problem. Phone is working. How can I flash stock rom?

Hey!
Have u tried going into emergency mod and flashing a stock rom using kdz updater??

I bought a LG G2X from someone and they failed to tell me the phone was rooted, I have no clue what to do with a rooted phone and honestly I don't care to have that access. Could someone please help me unroot this phone. I know enough about cell phones since I did sell them. When I got the phone it was in safe mode, I rebooted it and did a wipe of the phone and seen that it had superuser on it. I have all the information with the phone but not sure what to do so that I can update this device. PLEASE HELP! I can't afford to brick the phone at this moment since I have no clue what I'm doing. Thank you.
I'll tell you off the bat I do not know how to unroot this device. I will also tell you that this phone is worth its weight in sh*t if its not rooted. If you do a little reading around the stickies you'll see this phone is nearly impossible to hard brick. Most of the time a full wipe and reflash or nandroid save fixes the worst of issues. We have had some amazing developers create awesome software for this device that I think you would love to experience.

Thank you, the only reason i want to unroot is since I can't update my phone it keeps turning off for no reason and sometimes it will take 15 minutes to place a call, I need to shut it off or do a battery pull all the time for the phone to function, thank you very very much for your info I greatly appreciate it I'm thinking it over or I need to figure out how to upgrade while rooted

When you say "upgrade" do you mean the software on the phone or upgrading to a new phone in general? If you do some searching you can find some stock unrooted roms that you can flash I believe. If I were you I would flash vanilla Cyanogen Mod 7. It is the most stable ROM for this device and offers wonderful customization options. The only thing that will not work is blue tooth calling. You can find the latest nightly build at get.cm. If you wish to make battery life better there are great developers for this device who have manufactured some awesome kernels that can be overclocked and undervolted. I'm currently running CM7 with Trinity's MAX 1500 kernel overclocked to 1.2mhz and undervolted across the board. I get amazing battery life and buttery smooth performance.
Use ROM for recovery nvflash method to return to stock. Then you can update either OTA or using the kdz method.
