Back up,
Format data,
Format system in mount and format
Choose your ROM to install from your zip card
Install gapps for ics.
guessing that you aren't on the new base band, no need to download owains patch in his domination thread.
Reboot
Enjoy!

Reflash gapps and never use rom manager.

There's nothing at all wrong with Rom Manager. It's a great thing. As long as recovery is flashed with NVflash.

I don't recommend it to anyone I've used it once, flash failed or download failed, either way needed a battery pull had to use CWM I will only recommend CWM, lol.

He means if you never used rom manager to ever download or flash recovery and ONLY used nvflash... then rom manager will ALWAYS and ONLY boot into your only cwm recovery.
But yeah, did you download and flash gapps like mt3g asked?
Which gapps are you using? I flashed the one that's said to use in the thread and my phone said they're 2.3.5 and had a few issues, I just googled the 2.3.7 ones and everything works fine for me

Unfortunately for me modded gapps won't flash, and Gmail from the market isn't marking mail as read. I did use scrubber.. Anybody had this issue?

what do you mean won't flash? are you flashing it right after you flash PB rom?
That's correct, scrubber->pb rom->gapps. There is no gmail app after the boot.
i didnt download the rom from rom manager. i installed it from rom manager i ran gapps and everything seems to be in order now
Since I'm not allowed to post anywhere else
I know on the Phoenixblood main thread at the end it says to wipe, but if I am going from 1.6 to 1.7 is that really necessary? It seems like there were only minor changes. Meaning, can I just wipe dalvik and cache and be okay?
Well for others wondering like me, I just wiped cache and dalvik and upgraded to 1.7. So far so good.

Hi,
I recently flash CyanogenMod 7.2.0 on my new phone, freshly rooted, and I've put Clockwork Recovery with NvFlash. But when a call someone, the cal is made, the other person answer, but I can't hear him and he can't hear me.
I'm with the LG-P999 (I prefer the number because my carrier says that it's a Optimus 2X)...

As the previous posters stated, you are on older baseband. The latest cm7 requires the latest baseband. So either update your baseband using one of the method (there are many threads about the new March 2012 baseband) or make a backup in cwm and simply flash Volk's flashable zip to get calls to work.
I assume his fix should even work work your videotron baseband a well.
His thread:

You'll need to flash the "for_oldBB.zip"

If I update my baseband, can i have connection problem with Vidéotron (My carrier)...
Or flashing the CM7 with the Volk's zip is the same method than with the google apps?

Well, according to people on the new baseband, they have better signal, improved GPS lock, etc. I'm not too sure whether it would apply to Vidéotron or not. However, you have the very same handset as the t-mobile version, so I assume it worth to upgrade. Keep in mind that the new cm7.2 stable has Bluetooth phone audio issues.
As for flashing Volk's zip, you go to cwm recovery, backup your ROM just in case, then flash the zip file.

So I flash CM7.2.0 with Volk's zip, and it should work?

You're not going to have any problems with Videotron. Trust me, I'm from Canada too.
EDIT: realized you got it already. Good job!
@ DupleX01 : Thank you! Worked like a charm and got Simple Mobile service working without any APN changes either. Cool!!!
I'm running the July 2011 baseband right now with Eaglesblood ICS and I want to update to the March 2012 baseband. Just to review the steps before I actually proceed to doing it.
From my understanding and research so far, first, I need to restore my phone to a stock version, then update it via LG update tool, then root it, then install clockworkmod and then I could install the ROM I want, is this wrong?
Nope, that seems correct, that's how I did it.

So, just to be completely clear... the Recovery needs to be back to stock before using the LG update tool as well?

for ICS I strongly recommend Paranoid !

Yes, it will. The advantage of us having the Rogers version of the Infuse is that we have Gingerbread bootloaders. This means that if we ever want to flash ICS, we are not bound to get "rainbow" recoveries.
As for flashing ICS, please read a lot before you flash. It is best to know every single thing to avoid problems.
If you need any help, you can PM me.
Good luck!

Yes, any ics ROM would work just fine on the Rogers' phone (I am another Rogers user on custom ROM - Remics 1.3). Make sure you have a good backup and a working recovery firmware (Get CWM ROM Manager from Play store and flash ClockworkMod Recovery) before flashing. Recovery firmware is key for flashing - both for successful flashing as well as recovering from a failed one.
Good luck!

I never trust Rom manager...its been known to cause bricks for some...
You can also get recovery from the second post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081
If you plan on flashing ics you will have to double flash though...

+1. ...and sometimes restoring a backup that was made using rom manager does not work. The only thing I use rom manager for now is to rename my backup (give it a "name" versus a "date")
Ah okay, I got the clockwork mod recovery with Odin so am I good if I wanna flash an ics? And what's meant by double flash?

Okay. Here follow these instructions very well.
- Go to CWM recovery
- Go to backups and restore
- Backup current ROM (should take around 5 minutes)
- Download ICS ROM of your liking
- Put it on your phone (internal SD NOT external)
- Go back to CWM
- Wipe data
- Wipe cache
- Go to advanced, and then wipe dalvik cache there
- Flash the ROM
- Reboot
- It will be stuck at Samsung Logo with Cyanogenmod logo as well... I advise you to wait 30 seconds and THEN pull-out battery
- Put battery back on
- Reboot phone
- Go to Mounts and Storage
- Wipe system, data, and cache
- Flash the exact same ROM you flashed earlier
- Reboot
- SUCCESS!
Now, you might encounter APN Settings (data not working) problems.. I advise you to find the APN settings here on XDA (I'm on Virgin Mobile Canada so I cannot provide these.)
ALSO, if you run into problems with Google apps (I assumed you downloaded a ROM that already has them), download the "gapps" file. Link should be found on the OP of the ROM post you downloaded.
Have fun!

Okay, first, make sure you have whatever you need backed up.
Second, wipe everything except SD card ( dalvik, cache, system, boot, data)
Third, reflash the ROM, and report back if your problem persists.

You can't dirty flash a 4.3 rom over a 4.2 rom like you did since the gapps are not compatible. It causes all sort of force close like you have. Do as Setting.Out said and make sure you download the correct gapps for 4.3. Flash them after you flash your rom.
try the rom at my singature

4.3应该是没有官方的,另外 I9023XXI1指的是基带版本,应该跟刷那个版本系统没什么关系,4.3除了cm以外没发现有哪个bug少的
the google official didnot release andorid 4.3 for android,you can download official image from here(just google search nexus factory image,then open first links and find out the image adapt you phone),using fastboot flash you phone :victory:
