Guys - even if it's an older version of Hneycomb in NVFlash format, it will still help...
Here is what I'd recommend (as it worked perfectly for me) - it 10 easy steps!
1. Download this stock Honeycomb image in NVFlash format. It's not the latest version of Honeycomb, but it really doesn't matter, becuase once you install and root it, you are just going to install CWM recovery and install a custom Honeycom ROM over top of it anyway (which IS based on the latest version of Honeycomb):

2. Download rootkit for above version of Honeycomb:
http://www.4shared.com/rar/-IYDraGZ/Brkroottoolkitv71.html?
3. Download CWM Recovery.
4. NVFlash the image downloaded in step 1.
5. Boot Honeycomb (skip all configurations!) and then root it using the rootkit downloaded in step 2.
6. After Honeycomb is rooted, install CWM Recovery downloaded in step 3.
7. Download Revolver 3.11 and 3.11.1 patch
8. Install Revolver 3.11 via CWM.
9. Install Revolver 3.11.1 patch via CWM.
10. Enjoy Honeycomb stability again!
Or something close to that....

The problem with HC revolver was that it took to long to boot up. Prime ROM did not have the same problem.

Why is the boot-time such a big deal? I never reboot my device (at least now that I'm not on ICS anymore!), so the boot-time is almost meaningless...
I guess if you turn your device off every time you use it, that would be a pain.
Probably the reason that Revolver takes longer is becuase of what it's doing at boot-time (optimatizations, etc)...

If you are willing to root and flash custom roms, first try a custom ICS rom in combination with a custom kernel instead of going back to honeycomb.
A lot of people got good results by using guevor's latest kernel.

Yeah that's what I'm trying to decide cause I need my pad daily use with not to much reboota and sods

I have already rooted my TF and made ready for a custom rom, but it seems that there is a fix available
[Kernel] ICS test (OC, UV) (test13) V9.2.2.3
Between HC and ICS, I thing ICS is far better (except for the stability issues), so I will give this a shot first before downgrading to HC.
As per my question on this thread HC Revolver sounds as a choice to many XDA members, so plan B should be this one.

some issues
Is revolver more stable now? I could never get the vga adapter to work. or it simply not freezing. This was last november.

If you're willing to go through the trouble to downgrade, you may as well just flash guevors test kernel or the TastyMehIcs kernel (in my sig) to fix the ics problems. I've had no problems on ARHD/Megatron with tastymeh 1.0 at all.
Edit: just looked at my uptime (I don't ever turn off really) 232 hours since last turnoff. That's stable enough for me!

I wanna know what good HC ROMs are out there too.
SoD doesn't happen to me at all, but I'm sick of the graphical glitches that are present throughout the ICS ROMs. People say it's only when you press recents - not true for me. I get it pressing recents, browsing youtube, in the nvidia apps, playing games, sometimes at the home screen, settings menu, etc.
It's very brief, but at the frequency it occurs, it's annoying. I want to know if it's present in HC as well. When I was on HC I never noticed it, but my device was on HC for maybe a total of two hours, so idk. The screen rotation thing is kinda annoying to. You turn the device, screen goes black for like a second, then it does the rotation animation. Things like that bother me cause it's not like that on my phone, even when I run ICS on that and it's not even receiving an ICS update.

Be patient - we're beta testing a beta release now (.24) and it seems that the graphical glitches are fixed (I KNOW the recent-apps "diagonal tearing" is fixed at least) - I've never noticed any other glitches, to be honest...

I wouldn't trust a rootkit , especially one hosted on 4shared. Just saying. A link to the original post would be nice.

I haven't noticed these issues on the ROMs I've tried. And revolver is by far the best HC based ROM.

Turns out a lot of my issues were eliminated by flashing revolver and the androidhd builds,.probably cause they're essentially the stock ICS build.

Thanks for guide.
I just found out I have a b50, and tried NVFLASH of ICS... worked for maybe 2-3 hrs, thought there was hope... and now it just froze playing music.
If this thing cannot even play music without glitching, whats the point really at all?
If this HC downgrade (and stay there) doesn't work, I'm selling this ASAP.

[Q] Downgrade to 2.2

Hi all,
I've been reading all the tutorials on how to downgrade my O3D to 2.2 but I'm having a hard time choosing what info I should follow. And everytime a find something, usualy I get the impression that its kind of a bumpy ride...
My O3D is locked to Vodafone Portugal, not rooted, everything stock and my data cable is the one that came with the phone.
I want to keep everything stock in 2.2.
Can you please point me to the safest way to do this?
Oh, and I only have Win 7 available for the process.
Thank you so much for the help!

The easiest and most comprehensive tutorial to do that is the one posted here:

Thank you.
It does appear to be the simplest I've seen.
Really hope not to ruin my phone...
Oh, and what rom do you recomend?

I can't recommend you a Froyo ROM because I used the tutorial only to flash Gingerbread ROMs. I flashed the 21D ROM almost 4 weeks ago and I got only one ghost call (that I'm aware of).
So I'm sticking with the 21D at the moment until LG releases a new ROM or until the ghost calls start occurring more often.

Well, I have 20a on mine and it was running smoothly but then suddenly it started again with the GC. I'm kind of in the verge of trashing this peace of sh!t.
If I downgrade using this method, when (if ever) LG relleases a fix or a new rom, I will be able to update via the nromal LG process?

Yes, you can upgrade later with the normal LG process or the one you've used to downgrade to Froyo.
However, since you've only recently started experiencing ghost calls, I would suggest to make a factory reset/wipe first on your current ROM and wait few days to see if you still have issues. In my case, the factory rest helped a lot and haven't experienced ghost calls for the last 3 weeks.

No no, I'm experiencing GC since the update in dec 2011. I've done the factory reset with the wipes twice and it got better, but then the monster came back.

Just finished downgrading and it went like a charm.
Just had to wipe data afterwards because i've got stuck in boot loop.
And since I've installed a carrier free rom, its so much faster now... No Vodafone things loading. The boot is twice as quick as it was in 2.3.
Thank you so much for the help!
+1!

Everyting you need is on this page (http://www.acidhazardrom.com). And he also developing a great rom. Read in tools. Please thank me god luck

Glad to know that everything went well without a hitch. Which version of the Froyo ROMs you installed?

The v10k downloaded directly from the guide. And it made the phone faster in normal usage. The benchmarks show the same results however.
It must be the fact that it doesn't comes without all the Vodafone [email protected] on it.

Yes, Froyo could be in some cases faster than GB, for example some games. It's also more compatible with certain apps like video calling apps (Fring, Tango etc). The biggest issue however with the Froyo is the relatively higher battery consumption.
By the way, I just remembered that I saw some time ago another method to downgrade/upgrade stock ROMs which has the major advantage of being completely automatic. The post and the zip file is here and includes complete instructions.

I haven't tried it myself but many other did and they said that it works very well. I know that you've downgraded successfully but I just post this for a future reference.

froyo is faster after you haven't trun off your phone for days!
and
froyo can install and run "dead space" smoothly, but gingerbread can't.

[Q] How do I get unstuck from AT&T screen running ICS

Hey all, I recently rooted my atrix 2 about 3 days ago then decided I wanted to run ICS so I went back to 2.3.5 then OTA'd to 2.3.6 and got my phone on ICS following Jim's guide. Everything went fine and I was running ICS fine until I downloaded ROMtoolbox and tried to change my font to the DROID font. the screen flashed and everything went to chinese and then my phone reboot itself but now it keepts getting stuck on the white AT&T screen, I've tried running through recovery and rebooting but everytime it just freezes on that screen.
Nevermind guys I got it all back up and working by just reinstalling ICS from recovery menu.

Can you get into bootmenu? If yes, do you have an ICS based backup?
If you don't have a backup or bootmenu the only thing you can really do is fkz back to GB 2.3.5 and re-update...
And for future reference... don't use rom toolbox.. it usually doesn't end well... as you might have figured out.

PEOPLE! Stop goofing around with things using ROM Toolbox, it does nothing for your phone other than cause headaches. I've soft bricked using it, others are having similar problems. It's not worth the hassle. Seriously...

so it would be better to have the individual apps themselves instead of toolbox or stay away from those apps in general? also is it still possible to do the wifi tethering with the ICS leak?

[Q] Imo Lean Kernel, CWM and OTA

Will I need to flash the stock kernel back on my phone to take the OTA or will it work with Imo's kernel? I tried to reflash the boot.img from my nandroid and wifi was not working, so I reflashed Imo's kernel and wifi works again and I am sitting in a holding pattern. I'd rather not have to ODIN back to full stock because I only have access to PC's at work and don't really have time in the day at work to be doing stuff like that while there.
Also can I just download EZ Recovery and flash the stock recovery?
Phone is rooted, unlocked, CWM with Casual and Imo's Lean Touchwiz kernel. TIA

What exactly makes you want the update? If it's the radio (which imo is the only reason to consider the OTA) then just get the radio and flash it in CWM.

i already have the radios flashed but I've had this weird issue that seems to only happen after flashing the kernel but has only happened on a few occasions mainly on the weekends at my daughter's 2 soccer games to be exact. Camera and video have acted weird, first was video controls were upside down, had to reboot a few times for it to fix and just yesterday everything I shot shows fine in gallery but when I go to import into Instagram the pics are all rotated 90 degrees.
I can't afford to have data issues which is the reason I haven't installed a custom ROM since I use my phone for work quite a bit. Figured go back to stock kernel, take OTA to clean out any weird issues that would linger and wait for either official JB or for ROMs to get solid on data issues.

Yes, but remember if you don't already have the OTA notification nothing with come just because you removed the custom recovery. If you've already received that notification then disregard this post.

Thanks Snoop, been getting the OTA notification for 2 weeks now. I thought originally after it failed because of CWM it disappeared but woke up a few mornings to my phone being in CWM asking if i wanted to install the OTA and thinking to myself, "good god how long has my screen been on?!"

No problem. If you still notice weird issues then Odin to an older firmware and accept the OTA from there.

No sounds after flashing roms

I recently received a replacement phone because I cracked my screen. My current phone was baseband VRBMB1 and running LiquidSmooth 2.9 with no problems.
Replacement phone is baseband VRBMF1 and because of that I had to use the Casual Root method to root and unlock it. Installed TWRP then flashed LiquidSmooth. Now no sounds work - ringtone, keyboard typing sounds, siriusxm app and you tube bugs out and won't play videos. Everything vibrates no sounds at all.
To fix it I've reflashed even different versions of the rom. Wiped over and over. Even unrooted and went back to stock and tried again still nothing. I flashed another rom (not liquidsmooth) and same thing ...sounds don't work on the other rom.
Anyone have any idea what I can do? I wonder if it has to do with the new phone being VRBMF1. I'm losing my mind spending hours trying to fix it. Thanks.
