[q] epic 4g 2.2.1 questions

I FOLLOWED THE ZIP INSTRUCTIONS @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861213 TO UPDATE MY EPIC 4G, IT WORKS FINE.
Q1 - WHEN SPRINT RELEASES THE OFFICIAL UPDATE WILL I BE ABLE TO DO THE UPDATE THEY PROVIDE THE SAME AS IF I DIDNT INSTALL THE OFFICIAL UNOFFICIAL VERSION?
Q2 - IS THERE ANYWAY TO GO BACK TO MY 2.1 - DO I JUST DO A FACTORY RESET. HOW COMPLICATED IS IT?
PLEASE LEAVE YOUR ANSWERS IN THE SIMPLEST FORMS POSSIBLE, IM PRETTY MUCH A NOOB, BUT CAN FOLLOW SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE TEE (MARINE)

Wrong Forum

PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!
1) Maybe but probably not.
2) Yes, although not by factory reset. You'd probably need a Stock 2.1 ROM and flash back the way you just did.

????
stock 2.1 rom??? im assuming you mean some sort of zip file with the 2.1 OS on it.
do you know where I can find one, for the epic 4g???

[Q] Baseband autoupdate?

Hello
If you have updated Android 2.2 phone to 2.3.5 V20a, and now v21d. It is necessary to make updates and baseband? Or adapted, alone?
We used the model update in the memory card, zip format
v21d official LG
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155874
Thanks

If you install roms in zip format,your baseband does not change.
If you have to install baseband,you must either flash it with lg flash tool or flash a rom in kdz format with update tool.

First of all welcome to XDA and second please this forum is like every other rom there are a dozen threads here regarding basebands please try and search before you post. But since this is your first time i will give you some advice search before you post and see you around enjoy...
And the answer to your question is you need to download either kdz file of the rom you want for instance 21A and then use the flash tools you find in the dev section and flash your phone it will flash a stock rom and update to 21a baseband... Then no matter what custom rom you install your baseband will always be 21a...
Or you can just download basebands but you won't find many baseband files as they are hard to extract....

Vodafone phone is bought, and I always put v20a. And this version has a problem, use the battery in 7 hours.
So I did and I root v21d updated by rom manager.
I tried to make adaptation by KDZ, but not always respond, before you start the programs do everything stops and erroare.
After I tried to change the product code, the version I gasito this forum spooffw program, but yes erroare. Another tutorial I found.
I was interested in the original bag directly android update program. But fail to change product code. And as they fail to change product code, I call vodafone v20a.

From Hellfire to Stock ROM

Hello all,
I have the "call sound" problem with Hellifire ROM as I didn't upgrade my baseband. In order to do to it I read that I have to return to stock ROM, update the baseband and then put Hellfire or whatever other ROM back again.
My question is how to go back to the stock rom. I did try the CWM way several times but no result. Is there any step by step guide I should follow elsewhere?
Thank you very much!

Just use the search function next time, you can expect a lot of people to comment the same thing.

I don't think he made any effort to find the answer himself. A search wasn't even necessary considering the link you posted is located on the second page of general. Had he just went to the second page and scrolled down, he would have found it.
Anyway, I'm also contributing to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696266
That's the method I used in order to update my baseband OTA. It was simple. All you need to do is dowload a stock nandroid that you can easily find on the development section if you don't have one of your own.

The way I did mines was download xboarders LG ota 2.3.3 rom from rom manager, use nvflash to flash stock recovery, use superoneclick to unroot, then ran LG tool. But I heard people say as long as your on stock 2.3.3 rom you don't need to unroot. But I wanted it stock less chance of something going wrong

Instead of attacking you should read what I'm writing... I said that I did the CWM method several times but no result. I did also what your links suggested but nothing again.
Any other suggestion. While back in "stock" version, v10f or v21e I'm trying to update to the new baseband but my process stops at 4%.
I have tried removing the battery and turning it on again -> NOTHING
I have tried reboot and hold VOL DOWN and POWER -> NOTHING (CWM is still installed)
Any other input will be highly appreciated.

There are several suggestions in that thread to get the baseband to update, you tried all of them?
Reinstall the LG drivers
Attempt to update with V21E Stock ROM AND Stock Recovery
use the kdz method with the V21Y file (being on the 2.3.4 Stock ROM makes this go quicker according to posts in thread)
What operating system do you use also? Do you have admin rights?
If anything this should get the call audio to work even on the old baseband if you flash it on top of the ROM as the new baseband has shown no improvement for anything in my personal experience: http://www.mediafire.com/?ducdiqhcuaje5y2

[Q] How to solve bootloop with official update.

I tried to update my LG 3D with the LG Official Tool. Was a 2.3 to 4.0 update. Everything seems to be ok, but my phone is not booting up, bootloop is the name for that i think. I repeat the process with no luck. Any ideas?

Use LG Flash tool instead. Updater seems to cause a lot of people problems.

Ok ill give it a shot. XBSA is a custum rom right? Where do i get the Official ICS rom?

The guide puts you to ICS, then you can install the custom ROM if you choose. It's all there. Let me know if you find any broken links; I have not checked in a while.

To begin with, Welcome to XDA Developers
Please review the LG Optimus One FAQ for answers to commonly asked questions.
As for which ROM is better... That's really a matter of personal preference. I'd suggest reading the FAQ first before making a hurried decision.
Starting with CM7 ( Android 2.3 ) all ROMs are for new baseband. From what info you've supplied your device is old baseband. If you choose a P500 specific ROM CM7.2 or later you will also need the old baseband patch. There is a link in the FAQ I mentioned above for downloading it. Should you decide to use any of Rasheds ROMs, just use the P509 variant. It's hardware is identical to the P500 but the P509 will always be an old baseband device. Rashed include the old baseband patch in the P509 and P506 ROMs. Do NOT flash a P506 ROM on your device. The touchscreens are different so they have different drivers.
Best of luck and once again, Welcome to XDA-Developers

NEVER use ROM Manager with this device. Flash old baseband patch after flashing the ROM. Once rooted, you can use FlashImageGUI to flash a custom recovery. Then reboot device to recovery and following flashing steps posted in the FAQ. FlashImageGUI is an application ( apk ). You can download it from Play Store. ROM must be on SDCARD to flash it via recovery. You can also use Android Flash Recovery to flash a custom recovery if you prefer using Windows. Link is in my signature. The download contains the drivers needed for Windows to detect your device. You must install them before attempting to flash the recovery. Drivers are located in the usb folder in the archive.

Honestly I'm not sure. I've try not to use KDZ because of all the devices that have been bricked by it. I'm not saying that yours will get bricked, but I was never willing to try. I still have a P509 but I don't use it anymore except for testing apps that I write. KDZ has bricked 2 P506's for me. But, I think the issue was that I left the SIM card in the device. Not sure tho. Sorry I cannot give you a more direct answer.

It will update your recovery to the newest stock recovery is my guess but that won't work. Stock recovery doesn't allow for custom ROM installations. As I mentioned earlier, you will need to install a custom recovery and not thru LG Update. Along with Android Flash Recovery ( AFR ) there are many other tools here at XDA that are far safer to use than LG's software since most of LG's stuff is crap. Just do a little searching and you'll find what you're looking for. My job is not to give you all the answers you want, but to point you in the right direction. Here at XDA we stress using the Search feature.
