Hi im very new to android just got my first one and its a lg optimus 3d p925g and was interested in rooting my phone. Been reading alot about it.
I have jailbroken ipod touches and iphones hacked psp's, wii's and ps3's but never rooted an android.
What i want from rooting is better peformance and battery life was reading that the cm7 rom (which is faster and better?) is out for this phone do i have this right?
I don't even no were to start if someone could write up a small tutorial or point me in the direction of one and info about roms and rooting thx.
im glad your asking questions first. i just jumped in to it.... bad idea! i got the root part right but have seriously messed up on my rom... my phone wont go past the boot screen!
that's sad to hear did you make a back up i know this is the first thing ill do when i root if i do you could try to factory reset i read if you turn your phone off then hold the down volume button and press the power button it boots to emergencey mode mabie google hard reset lg optimus 3d i remember reading about it some were.

I have a US Cellular LG US670 Optimus, which I have bricked. I flashed the CW Recovery for the Optimus V to see if it would work, and it does, but now I just recently learned that I cannot put a Froyo rom on my phone.
I was attempting to port CM7 to it and in my own ignorance, deleted the entire SD card (pushing buttons too fast, not cause I'm a complete moron ) deleting the backup of my stock rom.
So right now the only working thing on my phone is CW, I can put all kinds of flavors of CM7 on it, but none of them work with US Cellular. I then tried to build my own Gingerbread Rom using this guide, sites.google.com/site/teamdroidconcepts/wiki-guides/compile, which is great, but I can't seem to build the actual Rom.
I have the LG Source code for my phone and I have the GB source code. What I'm wondering is if there is anyone who could walk me through the port, or if there is a Optimus V developer that could help me port one of those Roms to the Optimus U?

Well this thread led me to being able to put Xionia on giving me the ability to flash a froyo rom, but I need a US Cellular build. So far, every other rom doesn't work, that's why I was trying to build my own.
So anyone know where I can get a rom that will work on a US Cellular Optimus U?
Not to bump an old topic, but ive got the same problem currently. Ive got the froyo files from USCC, but i cannot find a way to flash them onto my phone. Would anyone be able to assist? Thanks.

For those who are interested, I believe that LG made the base roms for the LG Optimus series available on their site. I will try to find a link, but you should be able to find it pretty handily if you can navigate their site.

Here's the link: http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-LGUS670
At the bottom, you just follow their instructions and the tool should replace your recovery and rom with complete stock. It'll get you back to square 1 at least.

Hi i bought a bundle of these phones for my kids to "play" with , used gingerbreak.apk , then used rom manager (bad decision) to install recovery .
said installed successfully and rebooted in recovery ... and ... bootloop .
followed the advice of previous post and says cant connect to phone at about 20% ...
any more suggestions ???
Hello,
I haven't flashed since my first smart phone (HTC WING).. now Sensation 4g. So what I have done so far after much research:
S-off
CWM installed
Backup of stock made (and used..)
No firmware update (probable issue)
I have read and im inferring from the posts that since im on Gingerbread I need to do a firmware update to ICS. I would like to know however to use the AOKP Jelly Bean ROM is there yet another Firmware update I will need to install or is it not necessary at all.
I am assuming its firmware most likely but id rather not assume.
I get stuck at the splash screen advises me to pick a language and reboots constantly.
Thanks in advance.
Just bumping to ensure it doesn't get lost in the shuffle.
Its a kernel you'll need to run it ... go to the ROM forum your trying to install and ask or look youll find it ...

Hello,
Ignorantly, I went to put CM9 on my wife's tablet. I was unaware at the time the touch screen stopped working when you did that... and me being dumb, I never did a back up first.
I thought this would get GAPPS working, but then I found out all I had to do was root and add it through ICS,,, Ooops...
So does anyone have either a stock ROM for this or any suggestions on how I can get this working again?
Thanks,
Bob

This tablet right out of the box is one of the worst I have seen
friend gave me one when it quit working...no power. Nothing at all.
I have it working now and google app store won't actually install the apps the site says "installed" but the app is nowhere in the tablet!
Looking for new and better ROM. Please someone help both of us and all the future buyers of this tablet
I have a friend who has an LG Lucid. They recently got a software update and it changed the whole UI and they hate it. I did not see a section on this forum for the LG Lucid. Does anyone know if it is possible to revert the phones software to a previous version?
Thanks

Here i found this....
This is supposedly the GB stock file: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/40093877/VS840ZV6_06.S6_06.P58014.R5.cab
Then I guess you use the program and isntructions (not the file) from here:http://androidforums.com/lucid-all-things-root/654009-guide-unbrick-lg-lucid.html
I do not own a LG Lucid and take no responsibility for what you do with your or your friends device. Use at your own risk.... That being said, after a long search this is the only thing i could find.
hello guys new to this thread but trust me i've been looking and reading and cant find anything to do with my problem so...
anyway some background im running the latest twrp and cromi-x 5.4 deodex on the tf700 and im also on the latest firmware.
so heres my problem,I use textnow and textfree alot,so much so that I buy minutes on a monthly basis,well once I unlocked and installed this rom it seems I cant make calls anymore on textnow-which I have about 4000 minutes left on...but heres the thing,when I open rom toolbox pro and tick the app manager tab and click textnow icon,I notice that in permissions the "able to make outgoing and recieve incoming calls" permission isnt allowed...Im not really that technical but I tried what i could as far as Running a "fix permissions" script for the app itself and i also ran one system wide....I wish i could get a reply from someone who knows how to fix this situation because its really bugging me and i dont want to revert back to stock cause that sucks and Crombi-KK doesnt have the Xloud or Noozoxide mods which I actually do appreciate so much.
also am i supposed to know that browser2ram is running like in supersu or does it run in the background default? because i definitely do not get any notification from supersu that its even running( no grant notifications or anything)

Hi there! And welcome to XDA. ?
I'm afraid you're asking very ROM specific questions. And you also know what I would suggest off the bat.....flash stock and see if it works.
This is the ROM thread I believe you are using. The guys in that thread know the device better than anyone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223492&page=594
Now I see you don't have the 10 post minimum to ask your questions in a dev section forum, so my advice is to browse through the tf700 section and post some meaningful and constructive posts and/or comments on threads that interest you in the General and Q&A sections. Once you have 10 posts....you're good to go to post in the ROM thread. Just don't post anything to get your 10 post count though, or you will probably have them deleted by moderator.
Here's the tf700 section...

Perhaps post a question about browser to ram in Q&A....if you don't see any other threads on it first. If so, ask there.
A good way to get a couple posts in.

Also searched and found an older thread, but has some browser to ram info directly related to your device.

im sorry how do i do that...flash stock,can i still keep the sound mods like xloud,noozoxide?
I found a complete guide for your device. Scroll down through the opening post and there's a return to stock section. This guide has a LOT of great how to's!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1833212
As far as the mods go, you'd need to root again after returning to stock and see if the mods work with stock. If not, the guide covers flashing ROMs....you'd have to flash whatever is necessary to run the mods.
