if u buy new defy there is no point to install this because it's original stock rom
this rom is for those ppl who flash froyo and want to switchback to stock 2.1 indian rom .

Hi ankit360, is this the same rom as the one used in Indonesia? I can only remember the SEA and 2.51.0. Can anyone please confirm? Is it possible to flash back to this version after I installed Pays/Korean. I never used Chinese rom prior to pays or korean (still confused about reverting back to eclair). Thanks
Just tried to restore my nandroid from last official SEA then flash the sbf. Everything seems to be normal. Most of previously installed applications FC. Gtalk won't run. Trying to factory reset
Okay. Everything runs perfectly after factory reset. I can even unroot my defy using superoneclick. Thanks ankit360 for the sbf

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?

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?

How to get back to stock safely?

How to get back to stock safely? I have seen the thread in the general area for showing the zips but I do not know which one to download and what to do after downloading. I bought it from a T-Mobile Store USA. Does it matter what baseband? How do I know if I have old or new? Please help with as much information as possible so I can get back to stock safely, thank you.

download LG USB drivers and LGMDP, install them, if the phone is not detected boot into recovery, mounts, and mount usb, now your phone is detected, update to latest android version available, that will make your phone to run GB 2.3 stock, if LGMDP it says that you have latest version just do it anyway
you will loose root and recovery
useing KDZ for unexperienced people is dangerous, but if you do, do not pull out battery before everything is done(if it takes 1 hour you will have to wait), unless you want to hardbrick your phone

Try tutorial mentioned in sticky area:thumbup:
Baseband doesn't matter in this case,if you are flashing stock rom from pc.
And if you're worried as that much try to flash Open Optimus/Oxygen/Gingersnap rom/s from recovery.
they all are stable and give you stock experiencesurely.

Warning - go above link if you are on new basband(v20x).otherwise if you're on old baseband(v10x) this won't help you.

Our device doesn't support/having stock recovery ,only customs recovery support .
Check in setting - about device section -baseband version .
If you saw there v10x so you‘re on old baseband & if v20x you are on New baseband.
If you are on v20x then simply follow previous link instructions

Is there a way to convert a ROM, say the ICS ROM to a cwm flashable zip? I was wondering as I wanted to fix the su problem before flashing.

I think you can flash the ICS rom on your phone then get the rom files via "adp pull" and put them into an update.zip. It's just a sugestion, I have never tried :silly:. Or you can make an update zip only with the modfied files.

[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
im not responsible for any bricks

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.

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
