[q] sgh-t959p roms

I'm sure this is a question which a lot of lurkers wants to know.
There are a lot of custom roms/mods out now in the development section, but will they work with the SGH-T959P?
I've done searches on this forum and there are no posts that has a solution or answer.

He has the Fascinate 4G that is on Telus from Canada. It's different from the first Fascinate. Which there is no section on xda yet. I think the U.S. version is SCH-1500 and the Telus Fascinate is SGH-T959D. Both are different from what he has.
Please don't try to flash anything in the regular Fascinate section of XDA. You may brick your phone.

Yes, to reaffirm that I have the galaxy s2 from Telus in Canada.
So there isn't much support for this phone right now correct? And do you think support is coming soon?

if you guys can get me the STOCK build number I can see if I can get you what you need.
ours looks like UVKD1
I need something that looks like that. or just send me the build.prop from a working phone.

That sounds promising. Obviously I don't have a working phone... but I do have a set of clockwordmod backups (.android_secure.img, cache.img, data.img, system.img) Would that work somehow?

Hi, I have SGH-T959P phone, where I can upload/send you build.prop?

Thanks for offering to help! I sent you a PM.

I have the Fascinate 4G from telus too and hope that someone can work on some roms hope this helps

[Q] How to pull radio/baseband from stock LG Thrill

I am trying to figure out if there is a way to pull radio image from a phone.
I installed Gingerbread on my LG Thrill following this article:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343915
I had to install O3D radio in order to make it work and now I am done with experiment so I am trying to figure out how to go back to stock.
I tried LG Support tool.
LG Support says they don't support it.
If you install stock or modified LG Thrill rom, you get no reception because of O3D baseband.
I have been searching but can't find out about how to get radio out from another phone and flash on mine.
I have another LG Thrill but I just need to know how I can do a system dump or something so this will work and bring my phone back to stock.
Any help regarding radios will be appreciated.
Thank you.

i am in the same boat as you..impulse moment getting gb now regretting it. i do admit the gb on thrill is pretty responsive..

LG Optimus 3D Max - a few questions

Hi,
First of all, I want to apologize for my "English" but I'm using www.translate.google.com If you renew on the sorry but I can not find anywhere answer to my problems.
I want to buy a phone LG P720 Optimus 3D Max. But in my country there is no forum for this phone, so maybe here I find answers to my questions.
1.)It is possible to do "root" in this model? If so, I would ask for a link to the xda topic adequately. I found something like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886057 I can use this method?
2.)How to upload ROM? Is using the instructions for the model LG Optimus 3D P920 phone will destroy not? Alternatively, this method will work with the P720? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1244490
3.)There are already a ROM for your phone based on ICS? Or if I can upload the ROM for the P920 model? I found a guide on how to "przerobiać" ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908008 You could use this means to convert P920 ROM to P720?

Sorry for point 1, a small error crept in So, using the method of loading the LG P920 ROM with no damage to the phone? I'd rather be sure than later have problems with the service. But now I have another question, are there any ROM for the LG P720? If I understand you correctly that it is not possible to convert the LG P920 ROM?
@Eklovya
If you are the creator of this method is that you get so that the holder of the LG P720? And Romy from gingerbread only after some time will be available, and I can forget ics?
I wonder why that fla P920 ROM does not work on the LG P720, as it's the same phone, just stronger? And frankly I hope that the world's largest Foum some users will be LG P720, and here I see that the phone is even less popular than in Poland.
So maybe better to buy LG P920, better support for him It's nice that it was as if someone was so good and gave a link to the page where it is paired with the LG P720. How much is weaker than the LG P720 phone.

I am having p725 ,
It is same as p720 just without NFC.
And P920 is old but if you wanna go for a 3d phone with a good support you can go for p920.
But just want to tell you that developer support and customers are not created in a day
Its been 2 years since release.of p920 but p720 is recently released.
It also has some users around 200. If you wanna search facebook lg optimus 3d maxx p720/p725 .

I do not know how in the world but in Poland this phone was released almost a year ago and still there is no ROM for it, and on the phone with the prior two years is even ICS, a little strange. How have you ROM on your phone?
I'm afraid that if I want to buy LG P920 is right I will have to replace it because of poor performance, unless I'm wrong and 512MB RAM is enough? I've heard that you can tweak the processor to 1.2GMz, did it?

Buy P720 its newer and wait until developers make custom ROMS.

I do not want to be mean or anything, but the phone is on the market for almost a year, and there is not even a gingerbread ROM, let alone ICS? I understand it's a big lovable bear LG to blame for this state of affairs.
I would prefer a newer model, but the idea that it will never likely, will not be given to me korzysztać of ICS is more inclined towards the LG P920.

If i was able to port ICS to P920 i m sure somebody will be able to port ICS to p720.
Its simple like that..
If you think you cant take that risk, buy P920 that already has plenty of ROMS.
If you think P920 is old and outdated dont buy it.
The choice is yours to make.
Your options are 4.
1) Is buy P920 because it already has plenty of ROMS.
2) Is buy P720 and wait until free custom ROMS are made.
3) Is buy any phone you like, find a Developer and PAY him to make you anything you like.
4) Dont buy LG.

Buy 870 and have official ICS and 16G internal memory too.

@Xbsall
You do not understand me. While writing the previous post I meant is that so far there is not even gingerbread for LG P720. I'm not saying that you will never ICS for LG P720 but looking at the interest in this phone people like you, hope is small, because as I mentioned there are no, no ROM for this model. Although how that was one custom rom for the 720 is Bła by any chance, and so, you know.
For updates to ICS from LG not count confidently: D I have a TV that's from 2011, and I know very well how LG treats its customers. Odwóch year promised to update the flash and he was so far gone.
You write that I paid someone to do it for the LG P720 ICS.Ale first nikoga do not know what would have such made ​​such an attempt, and secondly, the ROM would probably not develop a lot of bugs. I think that you have any contacts or something, you do not będęprosił because I know that, and so you have a lot of work
@ 2old4toys
I can not buy LG-SU870 because Poland is the GSM standard, and the phone supports only CDMA 800/1900. How do I fix this'm wrong

Trying really hard to understand this google translation...
Anyway the thing is that for P720 there arent any ROMS and yes LG sucks at updating phones (we still dont have official ICS for P920, not that i care much about it).
So once again the choice is yours..wait.. or buy something else.
Unless you wanna buy me an LG P720 for christmas so i can make a few ROMS for you...

[Q] Thank You drastic00 + A 4G Question

Hello everyone,
After lurking for a week or two and finally building up the courage to modify my phone (Rogers LG Optimus 3D P925g) I have created an account and would like to join the community.
Unfortunately I cannot post on drastic00's Tutorial yet until I have 10 posts, so I'd like to personally thank him here. His guide was great, there were a few things I'd clarify on it from a Noob's perspective and if he's curious of my feedback, I'd be happy to share. (Guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195753)
Now for my question:
My phone is now running XBSA ICS 3D ROM v7 with AC!D and I guess is on the V28b baseband from the guide.
Before I upgraded I was on android 2.3.5 but was also on the 4G network with Rogers.
With my new OS/ROM I'm now only on 3G and H network and do not know how to set it back to 4G. From everything I've learned I think this has to do with my Baseband/RIL to get back on 4G.
I read and went through this guide and there's another Windsor/Rogers guy, but none of his Baseband changes seemed to get a 4G network. Perhaps that post is too outdated for 4G?
Anyways, could anyone help me attempt to get back onto my old 4G network? Pointing me in the right direction would be great, I tried the forum search for topics on 4G or Rogers and it seemed a bit limited.
P.S. Please let me know if I broke any "Noob rules" because, well.... I am one, but would like to change that Have a wonderful day/night all!

Bump
I'd have better luck getting help in the Development guide. So until then I guess I need 10 posts.
At least I'll make use of these 10 posts and maybe help another complete noob by sharing my efforts:
Learning more about what 4G really is I found that it's actually HSPA+. Or just a better 3G that's been advertised wrong. Oh how annoyingly confusing... That means my old stock GB 2.3.5 showing "4G" must have actually just been HSPA+ since this p925g doesn't have LTE capabilities.
So on my preferred network I only have GSM option and no HSPA like I think I'm supposed to have.
My Mobile Network Type idles at UMTS:3 then bumps up to HSPA: 11 when I download. This can be seen in the About Phone under Status.
I shall try Backing up the current state and flashing different Basebands found in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974734
Again, any help or direction is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi and welcome to the forum.
Since you've got the P925, and not the P920, you could try to search the forum for this phone instead. There is a complete section for P925.
For example, there is now an official ICS V30B ROM for P925, which is more recent than the ICS V28B ROM for P920. This ROM was already released for AT&T but according to many reports here, it works on other networks and even on P920 phone, and it has full 4G support.
Just search the forum, there are many threads and reports about this new ROM. For example:
The original thread with rom .kdz files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2197191
Another thread with rom .bin files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198069
Members who report good 4G: Here, here, check the 4G icon here and for Canada here.
Just follow the guides for installing a .kdz ROM or the alternative guides for installing a .bin ROM and eventually you'll get 4G with the V30B ROM.

Would you like to elaborate on that?
The new member has the P925, lives in Canada, installed the v28b for P920 and doesn't have 4G now. With the v30b you could get 4G on P925 and P920 as well, as shown on the "here parts".
If you have any other information, perhaps you could post it here in order to help our new member.

I spent about 6 hours or so researching this V30b ROM since there's no "Total Noob guide" for it haha.
I'm going to go for it, I'll try Xbsall's custom ROM that the Canadian user Goldenmeadow has had luck on it.
If I brick it, I've done enough research to be confident that I can fix it.
Also, boston71, your help was clear, kind and very informative. I actually thought the P925g was just the Canadian version of the P920 with french support. I appreciate your help a lot and wish I could hit Thanks more. I'm curious to know how you easily searched the forum for those single posts? Is there some sort of advanced search trick I'm missing? I get too many results that are just threads and not single posts, then I have to Ctrl + F on each thread page...

Thanks for your nice words.
I would suggest not to install a custom ROM but first the v30b stock ROM after downloading its .kdz or .bin files which I linked on my previous post.
You've already succeeded flashing a .bin ROM following the guide from your first post, so you are familiar with that.
You could also try flashing the .kdz ROM following the guide at the sticky thread here (only the Step 1 is needed). The advantages of this method are that is simpler and faster than the first one, and most importantly, is safer than the first one (for example many people are losing their IMEI when flashing .bin files).
I don't know about the Canadian P925g version, perhaps some Canadian member could help. I don't even own the P925 American version, only the European P920 one. But since you introduced yourself so nicely and no one answered your posts for half a day, I decided to answer with the (little) I know about the v30b.
No, I didn't use any trick for searching the forum. But since the V30B is very new rom, there are very few threads and posts about it. I just went to the threads and searched with Ctrl + F about the "4G"

Ok, finally I can help somebody and share the pain I went through
OP, you are absilutely right - 4G and H are the same!
Long time ago, when we got gingerbread update, my phone was showing 4G all the time. Then some member made nice fix and my phone was showing ACTUAL connection speed - 3G or H.
Now with ICS it's back to just 4G... And it doesn't matter if you are on stock or american version of xbsa.
But you put v28 which is european. And that version, I imagine, distinguishing between 3G and H.
Then. There is hidden menu. You dial 3845#*925#. In there it used to be section where you could force your phone into specified band. But now it's gone. Still there is MODEM SETTINGS -> ENGINEERING MODE. There you can see actual band you are on.
And now I share information that I was digging for looong time:
Rogers uses two frequencies in two formats:
GSM850
GSM1900
WCDMA850 - called WCDMA_V
WCDMA1900 - called WCDMA_II
In GSM you can get only Edge (2G). Usually 1900 in big cities and 850 in country.
WCDMA gives you 3G/H:
UMTS:3 is 3G
HSPA:9 is H
HSDPA:11 is upper H

Here is little discussion you might find interesting:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380357
To save battery phone stays in 3G mode (UMTS) until you start transmit/receive data. Then it jumps to H.
But lazy (or crooked) guys at Rogers and AT&T decided to show 4G all the time (because it's Thrill 4G? ). And it's confusing...
It took me long time to figure out.
Glad you took courage to upgrade!
Congrats!

Thank you Goldenmeadow & Boston71
Thanks boston71! I'll try the V30b. I figure if I somehow brick my phone or really mess it up, I'll get it back to normal somehow. I don't see a thread about someone being bricked and then they actually use their phone as a brick since it's unsolvable

Ok, finally I can help somebody and share the pain I went through
OP, you are absilutely right - 4G and H are the same!
Long time ago, when we got gingerbread update, my phone was showing 4G all the time. Then some member made nice fix and my phone was showing ACTUAL connection speed - 3G or H.
Now with ICS it's back to just 4G... And it doesn't matter if you are on stock or american version of xbsa.
But you put v28 which is european. And that version, I imagine, distinguishing between 3G and H.
Then. There is hidden menu. You dial 3845#*925#. In there it used to be section where you could force your phone into specified band. But now it's gone. Still there is MODEM SETTINGS -> ENGINEERING MODE. There you can see actual band you are on.
And now I share information that I was digging for looong time:
Rogers uses two frequencies in two formats:
GSM850
GSM1900
WCDMA850 - called WCDMA_V
WCDMA1900 - called WCDMA_II
In GSM you can get only Edge (2G). Usually 1900 in big cities and 850 in country.
WCDMA gives you 3G/H:
UMTS:3 is 3G
HSPA:9 is H
HSDPA:11 is upper H
(sorry, I don't remember exact abbreviations).

That was a very interesting thread, thank you for sharing it. I wish they'd make it all one standard for the levels of connection!
That Rogers information would explain why I only have the option to pick from GSM or WCDMA. But then it doesn't explain why my father's Galaxy S3 has a HSPA/LTE option.... Maybe it's just the phone or something, I'm not sure.
I'll try the V30b even if it seems I'd be okay with what I got. I am just really enjoying this stuff
Thank you so much for your help, greatly greatly appreciated!
Edit after a re-read: Lol, I want to hit more Thanks buttons since your post was just so much awesome information summarized in such a simple and understandable way. Go! Spread your knowledge! You're good at it!

I know its been said but the O3D is not a 4G phone, despite the Yank version name.
I have had a play today with basebands and 28b/30b ROMs. If you are on xbsav7 you are probably better off staying on it and just flashing the 30b baseband with LG Flashtool.
Switching to the correct baseband increased my data speed by about double. Install Speed Test to check for yourself.

It explains everything Sammy G3 DOES have LTE mode (real 4G) that our 3D lacks... But don't forget, our LG is couple years older
And believe me, I found all this info not just for fun. My first phone was LG Optimus 2x - I got from friend who bought it in Europe. So I had 3G in Kitchener but only Edge (2G) in Woodstock... It was driving me crazy till I found about bands. So that phone had GSM850/1900 but only CDMA1900. That is why in "rural" town I didn't have 3G... So I got rid of that model and bought 3D on kijiji
And like LeighR said - try different basebands and do speed test. Before this one I used v20c. Actually I'm still testing this v30b baseband, may be I'll go back...

V20C

I've been PMing a fellow Rogers + Windsor Ontario user. He's very kind and has told me V20C has worked wonders for him. That's what I'll try flashing tonight.
With V30B I'm just getting 2-3MB/s on speedtest with 3-4 bars signal.
He's telling me he gets 8-10MB/s. I guess I'll have to try 'er out.

I was going to try the V28b Large partitions then his custom V30B rom then flash bandbase V20c. I figure if I brick my phone that it's a good lesson
I'm on stock V30b ICS from AT&T right now. There's way too much bloatware.
Thanks to both of ya!

Don't forget to apply fix for metallic voice after you flash v20c!
And yes, I think I noticed drop in speed too... Gonna try v20c this weekend.
Also thinking about switching to xbsa 7.2 only because it's nice to have his support - I've been on his ported ICS for couple months now and happy.
