Hi,
Can someone please post a Nandroid image of the Videotron official stock P999 2.2 froyo ?
thanks a lot
I searched from hell and back when i first got my phone. Couldn't find anything
BEWARE!!! Videotron model is not a P999. Videotron has the P990 and has been updated to GB 2.3.4 rom. P999 roms/nandroids are not compatible with the Videotron 2X P990.
What are you talking about ?
About phone :
Model : LG-P999
On LG update :
Country : Canada
Model : LG-P999
Version : V11F
Look at the user guide :
h**p://support.videotron.com/residential/mobile/devices/lg-optimus-2x
I don't know where did you find that information but it's wrong!

Sorry about that. Got it confused with the Fido Canada version, which is a P990 updated to 2.3.4.
No problem Videotron still doesn't update to gingerbread -_-
Yes, that kind of sucks. It seems that Wind and Videotron are the only 2X variants in the word not updated to GB yet. TMO USA's is a step behind the P990s also, which were all updated to 2.3.4 worldwide about a month or two ago. LG did a worldwide rolling update that took about two weeks to deploy.When LG did evaluation units for Tracfone (Simple Mobile) in the U.S. they made them a 2.3.4 build also for the P999. I suspect the problem with Wind and Videotron is they don't want to pay for the update (carriers usually pay on a per unit basis for non bug related updates). Hopefully they are working on ICS and everyone will just leapfrog to that in about six months or so.
Edit: Sorry for taking this off topic. I hope you can find someone with a stock Videotron unit that can flash CWM and make you a Nandroid of their unit.

Could be a good idea to send a nicely worded PM to the user requesting a stock backup. Best of luck.
oh thanks i will send him a pm.
Do you still need it?
I am downloading this file, will test and let you know if this is what you are looking for:

"File description: Rom Vidéotron original. "
Ok, I tried this out and it looks good. It's a stock 2.2.2 ROM with branded Videotron wallpaper, includes the Illico, Angry Bird Rio and Polaris Office apps, and is missing all nVidia apps (Tegra Zone, NFS, etc) that normally came with the retail phone (most if not all of these can be downloaded on XDA, just do a search in the Themes and Apps forum). Everything seems to work, including HDMI, but I only tested it for about half an hour, so no promises.
This will come handy if I need to send the unit back for servicing or replacement. Thanks to the (as yet unknown) user who uploaded this.
how do you flash this back to your phone? i also have the p999 but i flash with a p990 without knowing it now my phone is not working
i tried with clockworkmod but it doesnt work because i have flash it with nvflash using this method
http://android.modaco.com/topic/335...k-rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15032011/
i think i have mofified some partition does anybody know how to flash it with nvflash please help me
This is a nandroid backup, not a flashable .zip file. You need to have CWM already installed (using the NVFlash method), create a sub-directory under clockwordmod/backup (I just named it "videotron"), unzip the backup files in that sub-directory, and use CWM's Restore function.

If he flashed a P990 rom using NVFlash method it repartitioned his memory. That might make CWM not work properly as I am not sure if CWM repartitions memory or not.

I made the same mistake before, I went back to stock recovery, then reset everything with NVFlash and reinstalled a P999 ROM (CM7, actually) and everything was working again.
oh thanks a lot it worked fine for me !

Videotron Stock ROM Nandroid backup
I made a backup of the Videotron STOCK ROM that didnt even get booted once (since I started by installing CWM with nvflasher before even booting) if anyone is interested!

Just go ahead and post it to multiupload. I am sure that can be of use to many people. Thanks for sharing. I will download it to see what differences there are in the Videotron rom.
Alright, so i am having a bit of an issue. And it's probably because i'm a complete noob....
So, I have a new GS3, and wanted to give my (already rooted and flashed with Cyanogenmod 10) Skyrocket to my mom to use on Simple mobile (a company using T-mobile's towers).
I read that you can flash radios for T-mobile onto the phone, and so I figured everything would work.
Here is what I did.
I unlocked the phone while in Cyanogenmod10
Flashed LiquidSmooth RC9 - read it had less bugs
tried flashing multiple Tmobile Radios
I get NO service. I cant pick any of them up..
Baseband comes up as UNKNOWN...
So i'm currently downloading ODIN and going to try to flash to stock and just start from scratch...
Any suggestions on what to do?
Do you still have an imei?
Try unlocking the phone after you've gone back to stock. I don't know how you did it with cm10. I don't think it works with anything but stock.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I957 using xda app-developers app
No, the IMEI is blank when i do the *#06# code....
also, when i put the simple mobile sim in the phone, it automatically came up asking for the network unlock code. That's how i was able to unlock it.
Did you ever backup your imei? Flashing back to stock will hopefully bring it back if not you may have some issues. Also as mentioned above it's better to unlock from a stock ROM or at least stock based.
Alright, Flashed to stock, IMEI is back (thank god), and i'm getting service.
Now here are the issues ahead of me, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am on STOCK ATT ICS Rom.
I GET SERVICE (however, it's only 2g) i know i need to flash the radios for Tmobile,
Was going to use this ---> Blaze_4G_LB7_ICS_Radio_MOD ...... Direct DL, CAN BE USED FOR T-MOBILE/WIND ON ICS (from the skyrocket reference thread)
First i know i have to root, install CWM, all that.
Now, should i flash a custom rom? If so, which one would you suggest. ( i assume, i have to give her ICS, not JB, right?)
Also, you said backup my IMEI, i'll look this up in the meantime, but if you could include a link in your post on a how-to just in case i dont find it, i would really appreciate it.
Also, is there anything else i should do to get this working properly?
thank you very much for all your help.

Custom ROM is your choice. There are a lot of JB ROMS that are pretty stable. Also a new stock JB leak in the dev section. As far as backing up your imei. You'll need to root first as soon as you do get a file explorer and copy the whole EFS folder to your external SDcard. Then also copy it to your computer. The imei is held within the EFS folder. From now on do this as soon as you root BEFORE you flash anything. lol

Thank you very much! I'll start rooting now and back it up immediately. I would love to give her a JB rom, mainly for google now. However, that radio is for ICS. Is that going to cause a problem? or will it even work on JB?
I've been on JB for months using an ICS radio. I'm on ATT so I can't say for certain but it shouldn't be an issue. Just go to the DEV thread and spend a few hours reading up on what's available. Like I said most of the ROMs are pretty stable at this point.
FYI, on skyrocket the IMEI is stored in mmcblk0p18 and mmcblk0p19, not /efs partition. Might really want to back those up, especially before attempting a usb unlock. The /efs only really stores exports of certain properties from mmcblk0p18.

Thanks for the heads up. lol I thought for sure they'd be stored in the same place they where for my SGS4G. So what is stored in the imei folder in EFS then?
Hey guys I'm going to try make this as brief as possible.
Here is what I did:
Bought Telecom NZ Atrix 2 running GB.
OTA Updated to ICS.
Attempted to flash the JB Leaked Rom for (ME) phones.
Unsuccessful.
Whenever turning the device on I would go straight to fastboot - but by going to the boot menu I could still access the ICS software.
--- Fast forward a few weeks ---
I decided to get GNow so I downloaded velvet and saved it to my sd card.
I then changed the permissions on build.prop - and changed one of the values from 15 to 16 (I believe it was Android Something System Number))
Rebooted.
Phone would boot to the Motorola logo then show a lit up black screen.
I flashed the stock telecom rom using restore-to-ics_win-batch. All files would successfully flash except from system.img, cdt.bin and mbmloader.
I then attempted with a retail South African Rom (6.7.2_EDEM-18-MEARET) this flashed alot of files but this time boot.img and a few other files were not flashed.
--- Today ---
I flashed back to the Telecom rom and cannot boot past the motorola logo. I can access AP-Fastboot and Recovery Mod. I can also charge my phone when I plug it in and boot it normally through the boot menu (it shows the charging battery in the middle of the screen).
---
Here are the questions.
Has anyone that has a Telecom Atrix 2 (or even a foreign person who knows the answer), know of a rom I can successfully flash to my phone in RSDLite or through a batch file that will work?
Or alternatively, can I mix and match parts within the roms - like swap the South African system.img, cdt.bin and mbmloaders into the New Zealand rom - then flash it.
I just want to have a working phone I'm sure someone can help me! If you made it this far thanks for reading!
Bump.
I know I shouldn't be bumping, but I'm stuck.
There was a post I made in another thread about how to manually flash the whole systems files. I think it was in a thread called "how to apply updates manually" or something like that. Sorry can't link it to you right now cause I'm on my phone.

I'll give it a search - let you now how it goes on!
First off, I'd like to say thank you in advance for any help I receive. I'm not an expert by any means at this - I would consider myself amateur at best!
I'm fairly desperate at this point - I've been trying for days to solve this myself by following various tutorials and forums, but have had no luck, so I'm really hoping someone here is willing to help me out!
What I've been trying to do:
Install official Google 4.2.2 Jellybean on HTC One 802w Dual sim model.
Current State of phone:
The phone is currently rooted and has clockwork mod installed and SuperSu 1.65 and has moonshine installed. However, I've had absolutely no luck in finding or flashing a 4.2.2 ROM onto the phone. I cannot find a ROM to match the phone - all the zips I download from this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43177948&postcount=369 say that they're corrupted and can't be copied to the phone or extracted. I find this really weird as I've checked the MD5 with HashCalc and they match. I have searched around other sites but cannot for the life of me find a ROM that works.
If it isn't possible to install the official Google ROM, I would be ecstatic if someone were to guide me through the process of restoring the phone to a complete factory state. I downloaded a supposed recovery img file for this phone, however it doesn't seem to work, so I flashed clockwork back on instead.
If anyone can help me with either of these things, I would be EXTREMELY grateful - I've reached a point where I'm at a complete loss on what to do.
Thank you very much for your time

you wont be able to flash a stock Google Rom onto an 802W.
I was just looking for a way to do the same!

Dear Scott,
I was looking for a way to install a Google Play Edition on my HTC One 802w when I stumbled upon your post.
Although I cannot help you with your primary goal, as I have not found a way to do it myself, I think you may have a chance to get your phone back to work installing an alternative ROM.
I have a MaximusHD (http://llabtoofer.com/2013/07/23/htc-one-dual-sim-maximushd/) running on my phone, and it is pretty customizable; but it is not a stock ROM.
I hope my advice will be of some use for you.
If you find a way to flash a Google Edition ROM on the 802w, please, post it for us here.
Good luck!
Me too, looking for alternative custom ROM for this model. I had to buy this model which comes from China Unicom which is not sold in my country (Malaysia) because i really need a good dual sim phone. I read thru the Maximus HD had some issues with dropped calls and Bluetooth connection sometimes not stable. Is there other custom ROM out there that I can try? Really hate all these chinese apps taking up space on this phone.

Help! Infected Tab2 - Need stock firmware .zip for SPH-P500
This is my first post. I hope that brings me some luck!
I bought two SPH-P500's from Tiger direct when they were on sale, one for me and one for my wife. Unfortunately, hers got infected by something that I have not been able to eliminate via resets or reloads with the standard tools. I have tried Odin and Heimdahl without success. Foolish me rooted the device but did NOT replace the bootloader I can't load anything but a "signed" zip file expected by the stock system. Unfortunately, the infected device is now no longer rooted as my wife reloaded things and blew away the original
I've also tried a number of obscure things like looking at the cache device/partition to see if there was a .zip left there from the last update, but all that was there was a small text file.
What I need is *ANY* legitimate >> signed zip << firmware file for this model device so I can try an adb sideload. I know there aren't many folks using this device, but was hoping maybe someone might take pity on my plight.
Any other suggestions also appreciated!
Just for the record, the malware continuously plays a short tune and refuses to be killed off. It uses up so much of the CPU that one cannot do much of anything...
