flash rooted stock rom
flash stock recovery
unroot using super one click
flash the recently leaked gb update using kdz or lg update tool.
reflash to cwm.
flash whatever rom you want.
instructions are really easy to find.

or have a little patience since the developer said he is working on an update to 2.3.3 for dark sinister

Hey ct,
so I just tried to update using LG tool.
Steps I did-
*flashed stock rom
*flashed stock recovery*
*didn't unroot***
*tried flashing update (1st time it said I could update and then it stopped and said to contact LG or restart)
(2nd try it said I had no update, that I was up to date)
So why did it try the 1st time and not the 2nd?
Should I unroot?
Not sure where to go from here!
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Question about flash from a (maybe) future O3D owner

Hello, maybe i'm going to buy an Optimus 3D soon.
I've got some doubts about the flashing process: on Android i'm used to flash with ClockWork Mod Recovery, but i see that there you use another method that needs Windows on a PC.
How's that? Can i choose which one to use or do I really need the program on my PC?
And also the modified USB cable?

We still use Clockwork Mod Recovery.

cwm as usual to flash firmware in zip format... u only need the lg update tool if you want to flash kdz files which are basically the form in which lg releases the firmwares.

Ok that's great, so for custom ROMs i won't need it
And what about flashing CWR? Is it Root>Flash from terminal?

Ok i should get it tomorrow (can't wait )
I've seen that to flash a radio i have to use the LG Flash Tool, right? I'm talking about this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1244490
And i have to change radio to switch to Gingerbread. Do I just need apps on my computer or also the modified cable?

for me it was root>install rom manager>install cwm from inside rom manager. I dont like messing with terminal if i can avoid it...

no need for modified cable but seeing as many people still cant make gb to work on their phone i would wait 2 more weeks for official gb update and then having the gb baseband start messing with custom roms...

Right, i think ROM manager is easier, even if it should work also with ADB terminal
So official Gingerbread will be released in 2 weeks? :O
To get official updates i can't root and flash CWM?

you can but then it is better to update through zip files in recovery than trying lg update tool cause some people have problems updating through lg update tool after they have rooted and cwm. I never had any problem though. my phone is rooted from day one and has cwm and still getting updates through lg update tool...

But will we be able to flash the radio from a ZIP?

No. CWM do not flashing Baseband.

Yes i got it, my question is if this process would still work with a rooted custom ROM and CWM installed instead of the default recovery.

Yes, all who have GB now have root and CWM installed and they flashing basebands

First upgrade to official gb will have to be through either lg update program or by installing a kdz file of it when it is released. After that you will have the gb baseband already installed and you will be able to upgrade through zips

Ok perfect, but finally, to get official GB should i keep the original sistem or not?
And if yes, the problem will be still present with ICS, right?

There are two ways. The easy way or the hard way or another easy way. You could put the stock firmware on your sdcard. You can also flash it in fast boot or flash it with twrp.

I tried updating from 4.1.1 to 4.2.1 but was unable to do so. Ive got the correct firmware for my model the WW one but it doesnt come up as saying there an update able to be installed. I dont have a custom recovery installed, is there another way to update without getting a custom recovery installed?

First of all, when you download the firmware from asus, you have to extract the file named: US_epad-user-10.6.1.15.3.zip. place the extracted zip file on your 'SDCARD'. your tablet will find it and notify you. if it doesnt, restart the tablet.

Forgot to extract the zip first before putting it on thanks

[Guide][Receive OTA after root][keep apps/data][GT-I9500][5.0.1]

a lot of users are having this problem and if you want to receive an OTA you have to flash the stock unrooted firmware that will cause lose of data.
this guide will show you how to receive OTA again without losing your stuff
This works on GT-I9500 ONLY! (Lollipop 5.0.1 Recovery)
This also should work on any other model, but you have to replace the recovery with your model!
Steps:
1- Go to SuperSU and scroll down to "Full unroot" then reboot.
2- Download This file to PC and extract it.
3- Go to download mode by pressing the power key + home key + volume down key at the same time, then press volume up.
4- Flash the file via Odin (AP) or (PDA)
go to check the system status, you will find it Official
you can now receive OTA.
Q&A:
What is OTA (Over The Air)? Its an update which you can receive over wifi or mobile data.
What do i get from OTA? Well, if you root your device you wont be able to receive an update again, unless from flashing firmware via Odin.
- Why im still on custom status? Because you modified your system.
- What kind of modifying? Installing busybox, editing or deleting or changing any app or file system.
and some times xposed.
- How do i restore the old app? You can restore them by flashing firmware or by restoring Nandroid backup.
- Then what is the use of your guide? Well my guide helps in first place the rooted not the modded onces.
and always do Nandroid of the original system apps+data
you are still having your apps, data, pics, vids, etc...
you can root again at anytime.
check my thread for rooting if you want

thank you...

Your welcome!

Hi there,
Thanks for the guide, just thinking you may want to say what option in Odin to put the file and what OTA stands for, for the noobs.
Just a thought.

didn't work. still shows custom and doesn't check for the update.

At some point the update maybe canceled, because the update checks for the apps before the installation, always do a backup of your phone then remove what you want, after you want to update just restore the system folder from the backup

If you can see the stock recovery then check the SuperSU app again and maybe you are having a custom kernel

Unable to update to 12.1

So today I saw that the 12.1 update is downloaded and asking me to install it. But, when I do try installing it the screen is stuck at the Cyanogen Recovery.
The usual options in recovery screen are displayed, why isn't the OS updating?
FYI - My OPO is rooted and also has TWRP recovery installed. I also tried disabling the Update Cyanogen Recovery option but the same option.
Any assistance would be great

You can't flash the OTA with TWRP recovery. You can either flash the stock recovery and then install the OTA, or you can download the full ROM zip and flash that with TWRP.

So ive flash the twrp 2.8.6 (for the baseband not installing prolems) and downloaded the full rom file, flashed in twrp without any wipes... Its all ok now, should i have problems with this method?
The baseband is 241,is correct?
