you know we have a whole forum for questions like this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=836
but back on topic
official 2.3.3 is nowhere near custom roms when it comes to performance. i suggest you flash miks 6.5.6 (good performance) and dont flash 18.1 (huge battery drain).
miks 6.5.6 comes with v18 which afaik allows overclocking

Rooting help needed badly

hi,
phone details are
LG P920, Android 2.3.5
baseband L6260_MODEM_Sic_01.1042.00,
Kernel 2.6.35.7, build GRJ90,
SOFTWARE VERSION LGP920-V20c-APR-25-2012
I have tried rooting thru superoneclick 2.3.3 and tried Megatron_Root_Dan_Rosenberg
with superoneclick, stops at step#7 and with megatron, get the message ädb"is not a valid command.
can someone please help me with a step by step guide for rooting the v20c as i have tried umpteen times with the above rooting tools but failed miserably.
I am more of a noob than a seasoned campaigner, please be patient.

Hi and welcome!
Dan's tool is working fine on P920 V20* firmwares.

Megatron Root
Hi,
Megatron root definitely works.
It took me many goes before it actually worked...It kept saying something about files being "corrupt" (it was a while back so cannot remember exact details).
The phone would reboot a few times, and end up being the same and unrooted.
What worked for me was i did a factory reset, and then ran Megatron root again. It may have had something to do with the number of apps i had on the phone. It then finally worked.
Hope that helps.

Hi Paki0402 and vicdo1000
Successfully rooted, I had to rely heavily on google translate for the german lingo
thanks again.
can you also help me with the best way to install a custom rom for V20C? which rom will be the best in terms of eye candy, fastest, smoothest ( may not be all in one rom)
help greatly appreciated !!! ppl like you make us noobs feel protected !
Subir

This is a bit late, but adb is android debugging bridge, and is required to transfer files to root locations without su privilages. Adb is part of the android sdk and in the package of platform tools. To use adb you have to install it and configure it, look on youtube, then from command prompt you can us it.

Hi Schubeir,
CM7 is always a winner in terms of a good stable ROM, but you will lose the goodies that make our phone unique (3D as well as HDMI). Very fast and smooth, and because the ROM includes Theme Chooser, there's a huge selection of themes to choose from that will change your entire Android interface.
I'm currently using Promethius v1.3. Fantastic ROM...fast/smooth and keeps most of the stock LG apps. Feels like stock software, only much much faster and everything works! however, this version i dont think will work with your current baseband. you wont get and service if you flashed it.
Ultimately, there are many good ROMs to find in the Development section, so just have fun trying them out. whats good for me might not be good for you.
by the way, do you have ghost calls on V20C?

Hi,
Did not wait long enough on V20C to know if there were ghost call issues!! the UI was behaving like stop n go n stop n go, lagging every now n then, hence wanted to root and change over to custom rom.
I need to have the 3D and HDMI, purchased this model only for this. I am at present using the DNA_GB 3.3.3 based on the new V21E rom. when i flashed the ThiaiZ O3D V2.7.1 GB.------ NO NETWORK!!!!!
Was it due to the 21D baseband in the ROM? do I then need to flash the 21e Baseband?
which do i flash first, the base band or the ROM?
Cant believe I am trying all this at the young age of 52!!!
Thanks lots for all your help.

OK Schubeir,
I had the exact same problem so no problems. Yes the baseband is what is causing the lack of network.
I know there is any easier way to flash baseband, but i found it quite easy flashing my phone back to a stock v21e kdz, and then flashing a custom ROM built using the v21e as a base. The reason for this is V21E is proven not to have ghost calls, so thats the biggest benefit. it also has much better battery life. And finally, you can flash Promethius which has all the stock goodies (3D, HDMI).
Follow this link and go to point 3 - LG Flash tool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1491870
you must follow it step by step word for word or it wont work. Of course you will need to download the V21E kdz file...jut do a search and you should find it.
After flashing back to stock V21E, root again with Megatron, then flash ROM as you normally would. then flash GAPPS (google Apps) right away also.
Bit long winded, but its a one of and its well worth it getting your phone setup right. With Promethius, the phone runs awesome!
Cheers

Hi,
Can you please let me know the baseband version from settings==> about phone==>baseband version
and the Software version.
best thing is to flash the 21E baseband, root and then install custom roms based on the 21E baseband versions. also, the kernels version needs to be matching with the kernel version in the settings ==> about phone ==> Kernel version.
the kernel version may be with + at the end or without the + at the end.
lets see what went wrong!

hi,
lzzar has given you the link http://p92x.acidhazardrom.com/guides/lg_flash_tool.html.
just follow the steps without deviation. your present baseband is V10d. you can flash 21E without worries.
download the V21E from the link. this is the best baseband. after you flash this baseband, you will have to root your phone, and then install clockwork mod recovery. Once this is done, you can flash any 21e based roms. your kernel does not have + in the end. after you falsh the baseband, check the kernel version again. all the roms have built in kernels. in case you want to try other kernels, try kernels without the + in the end and you will be fine.
all the best and keep posting!!

Thanks schubeir, Flashing 21e did the trick. Now when I install custom Rom, I am getting the signal. Thanks for your help. The only strange thing that is happening is with Lewa Rom, I cant seem to open Google play store & cant snchronize. With CyanogenMod 7.2+ v1.7.0 P920 Rom, my phone is getting rebotting a lot. But do you recommend a stable rom that dont have these problems.
Thanks Raj

With any CM based ROMS you will have to flash GAPPS (GoogleApps, you can search the forums for "gapps") separately.
also, CM based ROMS will not have proper 3D (you can take pics, but cannot view) and HDMI. without 3D, there is no point in having the O3D!
you can try ThiaZ, Promethius, Acura3D and other roms based on 21E and various Kernels, overclocked and non overclocked, retaining the 3D and HDMI features.

Same here. I'm from the Philippines and my current version "baseband version : L6260_MODEM_SIC_01.1042.00 and Software version : LGP920-V20b-JAN-10-2012" I can't find any suitable or same ROM on 3D optimus development thread that has the same base. Thanks.. Just got rooted my phone and stuck at the moment finding a ROM. or is it okay to use any of those ROM like on ThiaZ, etc? Thanks!

official update for lg p500 is GB 2.3.3 it can be updated through pc suite if you want to upgrade to KK or JB you can flash custom roms available on xda. You don't need to unlock bootloader. No, it is inbuilt kernel. If you want to use kitkat you can use cm 11 by mukulsoni :good:

for custom rom do I have to update firmware first or u just flash on CWM recovery??? okay my device still froyo rightnow...

Most of the custom roms released recently will work only with new baseband (i.e. official update to GB 2.3.3 from LG) then root / install recovery / custom rom.
Make sure u do a nandroid backup !

Google Now works on my P500h. The only thing that doesn't work is speech recognition. Try clearing data or do a clean flash of the ROM.

To install, get rid of the quicksearchbox on /system and side-load Google Search.
May need to set voice speech language to something absurd to avoid FCs on type-in searches.
There is a an Google Now Speech Wrapper app to insert online speech recognition into Google Search. I use Overlays to place its shortcut over the mic icon, look ma, no FC.
Make sure hotword "OK Google" option, if offered, is off.

[Q] Installing ROMS while on lollipop

HI everyone!
I just recently installed V20a lollipop on my phone via LG OTA update, rooted it using 1 click root and installed bootloader using the method found on the MLKernel thread (run batch file > installs chinese recovery > install app to install english philz).
I was wondering, can I flash another kind of 5.0 based ROM on top of what I have now? (rooted stock w/ recovery and custom kernel) or do I have to go through several hoops like bootloader unlock? I know for sure the Optimus G requires an unlocked bootloader (my phone before this).
I was planning on flashing a 5.0 ROM i found on a random site that's built like stock android (i love stock), but I'm not sure if there are any more pre-requisites before flashing.
ADDED:
Here's the link to the site i found: http://www.unlock-bootloader.info/mp3-0/lg-g-pro-2-6052.html
If it makes any difference, my device is the international D838 16gb version.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? thanks

what kind of rom is this? stock with original lollipop theme?

I do not think its a genuine ROM. Following is the give away:-
In tutorial it says:-
1. Install the ROM Manager on your LG G Pro 2 . Get it from Google Play Store, then install the clockwork mod recovery. You also can use ROM Installer application from JRummy Apps Inc.(Get it from Google Play Store).
ROM Manager is not compatible with GPRO2. You cannot install recovery like that on GPro 2
2. There is no AOSP/AOKP/CM/Google Stock (screenshots are for some CM type ROM) available for our device.
3. The link Tutorial Video : Easy Way To Download ROM mentioned on the page is a video for some survey filling tutorial.
Honestly I did not have the guts to check the download links.

Cyrus
