I was wondering if there are any ROMs or Apks for the P500 that work for the P506 also. I believe I have a 2.2.1 gingerbread rom, I put a rom on here months ago and my memory is horrible so I'm not entirely sure that's what I have and honestly I've been seeing all these new things on here for modded music players and other things and I don't wanna download it and have it mess my phone up cause I'm using a different type of phone. So would these things work on a P506 even though it says P500?

Any apk that runs on the p500 will run on the p506. As for roms, you should be able to flash a p500 rom, but you have to flash the p506 version of this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1587209 in order for everything to work properly. Make sure to make a backup in recovery before flashing anything so that if anything goes wrong you can just restore it back to the way it was.
Well I have backed everything up using ROM toolbox, titanium backup, android assistant and a couple other things. I'll do a couple more backups though to make sure. Also what would you suggest for gaming and music?
Sent from my LG-P506 using Tapatalk 2
For music I would recommend installing cyanogenmod 7 and tweaking the dsp manager app, I never noticed a difference with beats audio or team acid's audio thing, but the dsp manager you can tweak while musics playing. For gaming, cyanogenmod 7 along with the kernel I linked up above are probably your best bet. Make sure that you make a nandroid backup in recovery, that's the most important type to have when testing out roms.
I'll check it out, thanks man.
Edit: Did a nandroid backup and now my phone won't work. It says Fastboot mode started and below that it says uac_start() when I try turning it on. I've taken out the battery in hopes of making it work but it hasn't. Is there anything I can do to make it work? I have no internet, I'm using another phone to write this.
Sent from my LG-P506 using Tapatalk 2
Does it say uac_start() or udc_start()? I've heard of udc_start() but never uac_start().
Also, can you get into recovery? Pull the battery, wait a few seconds, put it back in then hold the power button, the down arrow and the home button.
EDIT: How did you install clockworkmod? Did you use rom manager?

You could try using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827723 to flash the recovery again
I tried that and it doesn't work, and yeah it's udc my bad. It was cutoff. As for the program there's nothing I can do with that cause my phone isn't working. I need a quickfix cause I cant keep using this phone since it's not mine. Is there a file I can delete from the SD card to make it work again?
You bricked it by attempting a backup through ROM Manager. ROM Manager is dangerous for our phones. Search for "Android Flash Recovery". It works through fastboot.

The only way to fix this would be by using a computer, if you don't have that your only option would be to take it to a service centre.
Alright for the computer how would I go about fixing my phone? I might be able to hook up a computer at my brothers place. Right now I'm using my sister in laws iPhone. As for the service center there are none in my town unless you count Walmart but they barely know anything about phones, I only use them for familymobile. Plus a service center would cost money that I don't have.

There are actually instructions here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/t-...-how-fix-fastboot-mode-started-udc_start.html as to what you should do. Whatever you do, once the kdz updater has started installing the firmware do not pull the battery. If you do, you will damage the phone permanently.
Once you're done doing this, if you're still interested in custom roms, flash the p506 version of clockworkmod. This problem is very common for p506 phones using a p500 recovery.

As i understood, the problem wasn't caused by the incompatibility of the recovery, because it only affects the screen driver (weird colors) not the functionality of the recovery; it was caused because he made a backup using rom manager, not the recovery....
And other thing,,,, flashing the p506 recovery will only let him flash p506 roms, and i don't see a lot of variety to choose from...
Okay so I'm still trying to find someone with a computer and internet so I can fix my phone. And is that program the only way to fix my phone? If so then is that all there is to it? Cause I can't get it to go to any menus, it just does that screen and I have to take my battery out.
Once you fix the recovery, you'll be able to flash ROMs, again. Or, you can restore a previous nandroid backup.
So is it possible to download that program on another phone and then put it on the computer and then the sd card? My sd card is the only way to put something on my phone cause when I hook it up to the computer it says a bunch of stuff but then says it's been interrupted or something.
To use fastboot or adb, you need to connect to a computer through USB. Since your recovery is not working properly, you can use Android Flash Recovery to fix it. Unfortunately, it works through fastboot, so you will need to connect your phone to a Windows computer. (If you know the commands to execute, and you have the appropriate files, you can do it through another computer, but you will still need a computer.)
If your recovery was working, you could do it without a computer.
Well the thing is since I have no internet I have to try finding a person with a working computer and internet so that I can do this. Basically is it possible to put the program on another phone but transfer it via usb to the computer then transfer it to my sd card? Cause when I hook my phone up to the computer it just does nothing.
You can download the program from your phone, save it to SD card, then put the SD card in the computer & run it with the phone connected by USB. That way, you can do it without internet access. But unless you can boot to recovery, I seriously doubt you can fix this without using a computer.
Edit: To clarify, the Android Flash Recovery program I linked to is a Windows program which is designed to run on a computer. You can download it on any device, but it will only run on a Windows computer.
The computer thing isn't the problem, it's the fact that I have no internet and only have someone else's phone.

So I powered the phone down for class, and when I turned it back on three hours later, it hung at the boot animation, and then eventually just went to a black screen. Battery is at 100%, I had it charged that morning. Is there any way to fix my phone?
Need a little more info from you. Did you root, install any lag fixes, did you make a nandroid backup? One way that's sure to fix it is the Odin One Click Downloader listed in the development section of the Captivate forums, its always worked for me, but if you didn't have a backup it will wipe your settings and info and you'll be starting from scratch.
I was rooted, I was in the process of the 'one-step lag fix' when I realized busybox was giving me an error. It was version 1.18.1 instead of 1.17.1. So I went back to the recovery menu thing and reinstalled packages.
I have no clue what Nandroid is honestly. I'll look into Odin, but is there a Mac version?
As far as I know there isn't a Mac version of Odin yet....once you root download Rom Manager from the market place and then have it install the Clockwork Mod Recovery image, once thats done if your rom is stable use Backup current rom. I'd check if theres a wiki for Mac users, I use windows so I have no clue. I know you can download a new version of busybox installer from the market that lets you choose which version of busybox to install now. The ext2 lag fixes are pretty unstable and have caused some headaches (worked fine for me, but I still reverted back to normal). I'll post back later if I figure out a way for you to return to stock with a mac, but you might be able to just flash one of the stock roms through rom manager now after you change its name to update.zip, or flash one of the new roms that root for you (I've had pretty good luck with those so far).
Captivate doesnt work
I don't know if we have the same problem, but i got stuck on that black screen and wont boot up. I was able to recover it by doing that one click root for samsung captivate. (check it out on one of the threads) Just run the one click root/unroot it doesnt matter. Now when you're on the phone recovery screen instead of clicking "reinstall something" go to delete data, click it. as well as delete cache. then go up to do a reboot. Thats it, Worked for me hope it works for you!
p.s. Don't know if you can do it on a mac though, or you can always borrow a friends pc.

I'm gonna try the delete cache/data.
You're most likely going to have to do an Odin flash.
If you are doing the ext2 fix, and busybox throws you an error, there are instructions that say run Remove to back off and fix busybox before rebooting, or this happens.
does anyone know exactly what the 'delete all user data' does?
Does it just delete downloaded apps and your contacts and music and stuff? Or will it like completely destroy my phone?
The only way to completely destroy your phone, is with physical violence, immolation, etc.
so it just goes back to a stock ROM without downloaded apps/root/whatnot?

Odin will return the phone to an out of the box state, delete all user info will just remove you settings and personal info. I've read in other forums that you don't even need to download drivers to get your phone connected to a Mac, have you gone into settings>applications>development and enabled usb debugging? Try that and then plug your phones usb cable in. The Odin One Click Downloader thread also says you don't need drivers for Mac. I asked in the wiki thread for someone to post some info for Mac users, maybe it'll help.
EDIT: Also I know its a pain but you can get Astro File Manager from the market (free) and go into Preferences and enable browser download, then just download the update.zip on your phone and move it around and rename it with Root Explorer (a paid app but worth the money) that should let you flash roms and so on from your own phone after rooting of course.
Hello:
I'm having a frustrating experience attempting my first root of my G2X.
I've had a previous thread from yesterday, attempting to do things from the Mac side:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172487&highlight=velanche
As of now, I've decided to revert to Windows 7 on my Mac to try and rectify things. I'm able to use One-Click Recovery Flasher, following the instructions, to flash the phone. I then downloaded an earlier nightly version of CM7, installed it on my flash drive, and did the install via ClockworkMod.
I had no errors from CWM, from the wipe to the install. I then choose the reboot open, and it powers off my phone.
Upon attempting to turn on my phone, I would get the LG screen, followed by a quick flash, followed by another LG screen with some horizontal blue background behind it. I'm taking it that it means that it's stuck, because I've waited 10 minutes before having to do a battery pull.
I did at one time attempted to flash back to the stock T-Mobile, but when the LG screen came it, it would just remain there without any progress.
At this stage, I don't know where else to go. I'm not sure if there's something amiss, because my phone, as far as I know, as been erased. If there's a way to progress to CM7, I'm game. But one thing I really need to do is to get my phone back.
I didn't backup my phone's contents initially because I was going to recreate everything anyway. Now I'm in a not-so-good place, save having to get a phone exchange.
Any assistance would be appreciated; thanks so much.

Download one of the "Stock Rooted Nandroid Backups" from the development section, stick it on your SD card and do a Nandroid restore from CWM. That should get your phone working again...
On the CM7 installation problem, I have no idea what that could be. I've been flashing ROMs on Android devices since the G1 first came out a few years ago and the only reasons I had bootloops were from me trying to flash without wiping or flashing an unstable build.
Sorry to digress for a second here, but you DO have the T-Mobile branded G2x and NOT the Optimus2x, right?
Working on It
Hey thanks for the help.
I have a T-Mobile G2X, so I should have done everything the way I expected. Then again, things should have worked if I did.
So I installed the Nandroid recovery for my phone, and attempted recovery via CWM, but ended up with a MD5 mismatch error (whatever that means).
I even went so far as move select files from my SD card. I formatted it, then put in those select files i wanted to keep.
I tried again, and no change.
Any suggestions on how I should proceed? Thanks!

I get the same kind of "just not going to happen" errors when I try to install EaglesBlood. I've found no solution, though CM7 works just fine. I don't know what to tell you, really...

The md5 mismatch will happen if you try to copy and past the files. Try it again but this time unzip it directly to the fold where it should be. Do not copy and past the unzipped folder. This is also someones backup so you must go through the restore option in cm

I don't know if this might have anything to do with why I've had problems getting CM7 to work, but I've noticed that when I plug the phone either into Windows or OS X, I've somehow lost the internal drive. I know that it's there because I've found a whole bunch of files on it while in CWN, but I'm suspecting that there's some link between neither computer seeing the internal drive and the issue with getting the phone to boot.
Yes, I can mount the external drive, either from CWM's mount on both platforms or when I press both volumes on my phone and plug in to Windows 7 via USB.
Do you have any insight on this? I was watching a few of The Unlockr vids, and I noticed that even though the guy's phone was rooted and flashed, he still could boot into his phone until he was ready to put on the new ROM (CM7, in this case).
Thanks!

I tried on the OS X side to do this, having to download an RAR app. I found the LG file, and told the app to extract it to the backup directory on my phone. I tried the restore again in CWM, but still a mismatch.
I will try it in Windows 7 tomorrow, and will let you know the outcome.
I'm beat; spent the whole weekend on this phone modding biz. I suspect I'll be really good by the time I finally am able to get things working.

Is this an old SD card? Perhaps some bad sectors on it? Without holding the phone in my hands I can't think of anything else. Other than double check your steps, re-copy the files and try, try again.
The SD card is not old; about 2 months old. I tried formatting the card via Windows 7, but did it in FAT32. I take it that it's supposed to be formatted differently? The card is 16GB, but when I looked into CWM it's limit is 4GB.
I tried the steps again, and still get the same md5 mismatch. Is my guess correct that the card is supposed to be formatted a certain way? Unfortunately, I can access the previous OS via my phone, nor will the internal memory appear when the phone is plugged into the computer. However, I am able to mount the SD card within the computer's OS.
I almost feel like walking away from it for a week, but that means I'll be stuck without phone access for awhile. Tips or suggestions are most welcome.
BTW, there's apparently alternate instructions to deal with the md5 mismatch error. Though in Windows the NDIVIA driver is loaded for the phone, I tried the adb shell command but my device isn't detected by the software.
Thanks again,
V.
Ok, so i have a new Atrix that came stock with 2.3.4/4.5.91 from AT&T. I Rooted it, unlocked the bootloader, and installed this Recovery: recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029. Then I tried to flash CM& Beta, and all hell broke loose. on reboot, it got stuck on the Dual Core screen, and I can do anything else, because now i get battery to low to flash error. What mode does the phone need to be in so it will charge, and what do i need to do to fix this?
I have a Droid two global by Motorola and bricked it at one point in time. I had the same issue. I am not sure if this is the case with the atrix, but it very possibly could be. In his state often Motorola phones will not charge themeselves. There are a few options. The easiest is if you have a buddy that has the same phone as you. You can borrow the battery from his phone. You could also simply buy another battery. The honestly best, but hardest method is to buy or make your own Motorola factory cable. You can look that up online. After you have a charged battery simply find instructions to recover your phone via fastboot, or sbf. Hope you get it working
P.s. if this helped you, or you simply appreciate me taking the time out of my fourteen year old life then please press the thanks button
Well, I was able to rescue my phone lol. After the panic set in and I was calm again, I searched the house and found my microSD to SD adapter, and downloaded the "alien" ROM, entered recovery and was able to install it. After that phone booted up properly and went it charge mode....thank God lol. So now I'm left with another series of questions...why wouldn't the recovery install the backup I made, and wouldn't the CM7 beta not install, but the alien rom installed just fine?

Gonna answer my own question here...I had the wrong recovery installed. For others wanting to install CM7, use rom manager, and install the most current version of clockworkmod recovery and make sure to update it. This was my golden ticket to CM7 love
Forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong section. Forgive me if I'm not allowed to post here yet. Just forgive me in general. I don't want to be banned or anything like that. I'm Extremely interested in android development.
I made a working port of ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.8 for the Pantech Crossover. I wanted to do this before I started tinkering around with porting cm7.2. So that I would have a way to backup, restore, and flash new roms, etc... Or else when I make a noob mistake like yesterday and have a non booting phone resulting in having to flash my old boot.img with fastboot...anyways..
DANGER: DRAGONS AHEAD
FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
The method I used to flash the recovery was:
1)adb push recovery.img /sdcard/recovery.img
2)flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
3)repeat step 2 (for some reason it gave me a read error out of memory the first time)
Here's the link to the custom recovery:
http :// dl. dropbox .com /u/20070520/ recovery.img
I know I'm not supposed to post links yet. Remove spaces
I just hope that there are others with the Pantech Crossover that are interested in this and the possible future development of custom roms.
Also if anyone knows if there is a good way to get ahold of koush let me know, so I can give him what he needs to hopefully add this to Rom Manager. I couldn't message him on github because he doesn't have an email set up with it
And while I'm at it. Here's the method for rooting your crossover. I'm not going to provide the files since they can easily be found with a google search.
1: Find a copy of gingerbreak.apk and copy it to your sd card
2: Enable usb debugging and allow installation of non market apps
3: Install gingerbreak
4: Root device with Gingerbreak
5: You can uninstall Gingerbreak when its completed.

Thanks so much for this! I have a friend with a crossover and is always looking for my help with making it work better. I realize this is a newer thread, I was wondering how things were coming along with CM? Anything I can do to help perhaps?
crap i need a rom to fix my crossover the buttons are no longer mapped after a hard reset. please help.
Slow
Well, it's been slow goings so far. I downloaded the open source files for the p8000 and it looks like they just built the original rom from a generic build. I've been trying to get a more customized build setup but I need to do some more reading so far. One of the problems is that instead of an akmd(2) binary for orientation and compass it uses three separate modules. Plus the hci_attach is a bit different as well and so is the bluetooth. So that significantly hampers the ease of even a basic port.
As far as the gentleman with the question about a rom to fix your device. The best I can do right now is to upload a clockwork mod backup after I do a factory reset. I don't get much time to work on this between my wife and daughter.
Also, do you have adb access to your device? Surely it wouldn't be too difficult to adb push the correct keymapping files back to your phone.
You say a hard reset messed up your mappings? What problems were you experiencing prior to the reset?
Crossover
Hello,
I just wanted to let you know that there are people watching your thread. I am very interested in this as my parents have Crossovers and have recently rooted and unlocked them (well, I did) and set them up to work on Net10.
The only issue I've noted is that there are some failures, like the Market refusing to install apps no matter what is done. I'm going to install your ClockworkMod in hopes that later it might be useful.
I realize there isn't a large development scene for the P8k yet, and maybe there won't be but it's always a great hope that those with the capabilities might take pity. I was almost thinking that it might be my foray into actually looking deeper at the code than the small bit I've done.
Kind Regards,
Kaylus

I haven't had any problems with the market refusing to install apps but I do sometimes run across the no connection error with the market when on wifi. Although I did notice this before I rooted my crossover. Sometimes disabling and re-enabling the wifi helps. I really do think it is a bug somewhere in the original rom.
As far as the custom recovery image. Everything seems to be working pretty good. I use it mainly for restoring previous backups. I would say I've restored my backup at least a dozen times. Occasionally it states there was an error restoring .android secure but I have yet to track that down. I need to double check the recovery.fstab to make sure I have everything set right for the mount points.

I'm actually completely stuck at this point. I'm rooted, unlocked, different carrier, APN set correctly. I can access data and voice -- but it just hangs at "Downloading..." on the market. If I factory reset it works initially but after reboot it fails. I'm not quite sure why this occurs and if it is just this phone or a side-effect of using it on a different carrier.
Strangely Wi-fi doesn't resolve it.

I'll give your recovery a run and let you know, if you manage CM7 let me know I know it's a big undertaking. Thanks for the response.
Market Error
As far as the Android Market hanging. I see a few references to it being cause by the .android_secure folder becoming corrupted on the sd card.
One temporary fix suggest moving all the installed apk's back to the phone memory and deleting the .android_secure folder. Then rebooting and moving those apps back to the sd card.
That seems like some wasted time if it doesn't happen to work. I would just turn the phone off, remove the sdcard, and restart (granted any apps that were moved to the sdcard wont work until it is reinserted.) Then I would try to download and install an app. If that works then shutdown, insert sd, and reboot.
I'm really curious if the problems with .android_secure that you and i are having aren't just more bugs in the original rom.
Just as a poster above me said, I am watching this thread and really appreciate everything you are doing. Thanks again.
Well I appreciate the support. I just hope to be able to offer a rom sometime soon. Unfortunately I won't have anymore free time till Tuesday

anyone have a stock image of the 2.2 for android my phone came preupgraded to 2.3.6 and i would like to have it rooted over being on gingerbread since a root method hasnt been found yet for the new firmware
Bricked?
I tried to use the pantech provided gingerbread update this morning. It got about an eighth of the way through and failed. It instructed me to reboot while holding volume up and home and power. That put it in software updating mode. I tried the upgrade 3 more times, it failed at the same point each time. Now my phone is stuck in S/W Updating mode and I can't seem to get it out. I've tried pressing volume up and down for 10 seconds, and pressing volume down and home while powering on, nothing seems to make a difference. Any thoughts about how to at least get me back to froyo?

Yeah now I'm having the same regrets as above. No root.

No matter what I do, I cannot get the LG Support Tool to recognize my phone being plugged into the PC. I'm trying to do the new baseband install.
Running Win7 x86, already have the necessary files installed, getting to the last portion of the update, where LG support has to boot up, and it keeps telling me to install the driver.
I've downloaded the driver from the LG site, I already have the Nvidia driver installed on this PC. I plug in my phone and i see the P999 in the Device section of Manage Computer, has an exclamation point next to it so I search for driver automatically, no luck.
I don't know what the issue is.
dont do it automatically do it manually... and next time just post this in a thread already pertaining to this kind of stuff, less clutter the better.

I've tried it manually, but no LG USB driver i've installed gives me a folder, it always is an EXE file.
Screw it, was reading that the phone needs a valid T-Mobile sim card. But my IMEI is blocked....sooooo this wont work for me.

watch a video on how to install it, I believe it is as easy as putting the folders in a dedicated folder (i have mine in a folder named "android") and just directing the files to the apx folder... not any .exe extensions
Are you currently running an ICS rom? I had the same issue but I flashed a rooted stock rom then I was able to get the LG tool to work. Might try that. Good luck.
The problem is that the USB driver is not recognized on my PC.

I understood exactly what you meant. I had the same problem. The LG driver did not recognize my phone when I was running the Hellfire sandwich rom. The software did not detect that my phone was connected. I was beating my head on the desk trying to figure it out. Then I decided I would try restoring to a stock rom and try to pull the update. Restored to stock and no OTA update avail. So I went back to the LG software and it recognized it on stock. Still had CWM installed. All I had done was use the stock nand restore from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048274 If you need the file let me know and I will host it for you for a faster download.
