[Q] it is possible to...

Sorry, I'm new to this so sorry if this seems dumb.
So i bought the phone from rogers and immediately updated to froyo 2.2 official release by rogers/samsung.
I read about all the hype online about rooting and custom roms so i decided to give it a shot.
I used the superoneclick method to root my phone and it was successful.
I then used "rom manager - clockworkmod" and created a restore file before i did any flashing to my phone.
after creating a backup, i went on and flashed to the cognition 3.04.
Now my question is. Am i ever able to get my phone back to its original rom, kernel, and modem? the reason i want to know is because i might need to get my phone replaced due to some technical issues with the phone.
Also, does the backup of my phone after rooting play a part in any of this? if so, how?
Im sorry if there is already a post like this one. Its just that i couldn't find the answer through all the hundreds of pages of threads and replies, so I thought it would be easier to post a here with my specific question. Thanks.
regards,
danny

It guides you through the process of going back to a stock ROM. Btw, I've used it and it works.
Good Luck!!

Thanks for that. Do you think Odin is the only way to do it or do you think i can use clockworkmod

Do I not use that link in general, or just not to use the firmware given at the bottom? the steps are correct though, no?
also from my searching.
i can put my phone back to my backup point (just after rooting) through clockworkmod. Woud this change my rom back to stock from? how about kernel and modem and all that? would that all get reversed back to my backup point? meaning it will basically be a stock phone. But I think also read somewhere that my kernel and modem does not get changed back to rogers original one. is there a way to do it?
I then found this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846501
that says i need the original rogers rom for the captivate by the links there no longer work for download. Also on that thread, it was mentioned that the AT&T logo will still come up on startup, which would not be a good idea if i had to send my phone in for warrenty.
I then looked at : http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-I896
Here it tells me to flash to a i9000 before i reflash to a rogers firmware in order to remove the at&t logo. it also provides me with a link for the " Official Rogers Stock ROM ", but according to somebody on the first link i posted here, it isnt the "official rom"
Any ideas?

This is where I got the stock 2.2 file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905042.
Edit: I have flashed a bunch of times and have never got stuck with the AT&T startup after flashing back to stock with the odin file.

Thanks. Do you know if my kernel is going to go back to stock too or is it going to remain the same as the custom rom one?

If you use the odin file the kernal and modem will revert back to stock.

Thanks. So im assuming now that the only time my kernel and modem wont go back to stock is when i flash with CWM. correct?

I haven't tried using the CWM file in that link so I'm not sure if it contains the kernel and modem. As far as custom roms go most if not all come packaged with the kernel and modem of choice.

So.. When I do a "master clear" from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989...
Would everything be wiped? I read somewhere that when you do a "wipe" from your settings it only clears user settings or something. What would a "wipe"
from the recovery menu do?
I flashed to a different rom today thinking it will help my battery issue. When i am flashing from one rom to the next, i do a restore back to my backup before i flash to a new rom. Is this the correct method? or am i supposed to wipe beforehand? The reason i ask is because this is my 2nd rom and my battery issue still seems to be there. I tried other methods of fixing hte battery but nothign seems to work. When i looked into root explorer, i see that there are a lot more files now everywhere, than when i first started. would some of them be from my previous rom? if so how do i remove them?

[Request] Nandroid of Videotron Official Stock P999 2.2 Froyo

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 :

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:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7TDW422A
"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 !

[Q] Any Roms That Have Baseband For G2x

Hey ppl! I've been having issues with my baseband after I flashed to stock from Eaglesblood 2.5. This has been going on for 3 days and I haven't found a solution that works. I'm trying to think outside the box here to see if I can resurrect my phone. Are there any roms that I could flash that have the baseband? Since I can't flash over to the stock Gingerbread anymore cause of issues I'm having with the software and/or drivers, maybe I was thinking I could use some other rom that perhaps has the baseband I need.
According to GetRIL the baseband I need is this:
M6600A-SCAUNTZ-2.0.9720T [Jul 15 2011 10:00:00] MP:TRULGE_08.09.02R_MDM
If there are any roms out there that have this baseband, please let me know and post a link so I can download. Thanks in advance. Any help you guys can give me to ease my suffering a bit is greatly appreciated.

Easy answer is, no there isn't a rom or anyway to flash the baseband... you will need to update through the lg updater.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

The lg updater doesnt work at all. It stalls at 4% and does nothing. I've used the kdz flash but the pc won't recognize my phone anymore when I'm in S/W Update Mode. I've tried using smartflashtool and that doesn't work either cause the phone needs to be in S/W Update Mode. So that being said, what other option do I have?

Send it in to LG, it's sad to see another user going thru what i had to as both lg updater and kdz are such shyt programs even with the correct drivers they buggy as hell. I love my G2x but hate the crap software LG and nvidia put out to try and fix these softbricks/unknown baseband problems. I wish Paul o Brian would have followed thru with his comment about creating a smartflash tool for our P-999's similar to the one he created for the P-990.

Yeah, I was reading about that. Even if he did I don't think it would work.
I used this debug tool here made by slycog:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644&page=9
Paul gave up cause it would take him forever to get the smartflash for the baseband to work. First off, he would have to go and rewrite all the drivers so that they work properly. The guy in the thread above like me, had the drivers installed as you can see from one of the screen shots he posted. I tried 3 different sets of drivers all on my desktop and laptop. None of them work when I put my phone into S/W Update mode and connect the usb cable to the phone. As slycog discovered which I'm pretty sure he did but never said it that the driver for the modem just is buggy. Paul's first stop would be to rewrite this driver and get it to work properly. Then Paul would have to create the smartflash and actually get the smartflash to flash the CP bin file. The current smartflash for the P990 has issues flashing the CP bin file. It's alot of freaking work for a phone thats soon to be obsolete in a year or so. Makes no sense for someone like Paul to invest so much time into a project like this that the manufacturer (LG) should have done and foreseen. I'll tell you this much, this WILL be the last time I touch anything from LG period. I'll use my replacement for a month and then I'm off to Samsung. Hopefully by then the Galaxy Nexus will be on T-Mobile. If not, I'll get a GS2. In the meantime, I'll keep searching for solutions. I'm sure there is one out there or someone that can actually find a way to bypass the modem interface and use a different method of flashing per say thru APX that still seems to work for me. I wish nvflash was able to flash the baseband and I wish there were other roms that would have the baseband as I was informed none of the roms do.

[Q] Baseband autoupdate?

Hello
If you have updated Android 2.2 phone to 2.3.5 V20a, and now v21d. It is necessary to make updates and baseband? Or adapted, alone?
We used the model update in the memory card, zip format
v21d official LG
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155874
Thanks

If you install roms in zip format,your baseband does not change.
If you have to install baseband,you must either flash it with lg flash tool or flash a rom in kdz format with update tool.

First of all welcome to XDA and second please this forum is like every other rom there are a dozen threads here regarding basebands please try and search before you post. But since this is your first time i will give you some advice search before you post and see you around enjoy...
And the answer to your question is you need to download either kdz file of the rom you want for instance 21A and then use the flash tools you find in the dev section and flash your phone it will flash a stock rom and update to 21a baseband... Then no matter what custom rom you install your baseband will always be 21a...
Or you can just download basebands but you won't find many baseband files as they are hard to extract....

Vodafone phone is bought, and I always put v20a. And this version has a problem, use the battery in 7 hours.
So I did and I root v21d updated by rom manager.
I tried to make adaptation by KDZ, but not always respond, before you start the programs do everything stops and erroare.
After I tried to change the product code, the version I gasito this forum spooffw program, but yes erroare. Another tutorial I found.
I was interested in the original bag directly android update program. But fail to change product code. And as they fail to change product code, I call vodafone v20a.

To begin with, Welcome to XDA Developers
Please review the LG Optimus One FAQ for answers to commonly asked questions.
As for which ROM is better... That's really a matter of personal preference. I'd suggest reading the FAQ first before making a hurried decision.
Starting with CM7 ( Android 2.3 ) all ROMs are for new baseband. From what info you've supplied your device is old baseband. If you choose a P500 specific ROM CM7.2 or later you will also need the old baseband patch. There is a link in the FAQ I mentioned above for downloading it. Should you decide to use any of Rasheds ROMs, just use the P509 variant. It's hardware is identical to the P500 but the P509 will always be an old baseband device. Rashed include the old baseband patch in the P509 and P506 ROMs. Do NOT flash a P506 ROM on your device. The touchscreens are different so they have different drivers.
Best of luck and once again, Welcome to XDA-Developers

and is it good to install zip from sd card directly from ROM Manager without rebooting in recovery ?

NEVER use ROM Manager with this device. Flash old baseband patch after flashing the ROM. Once rooted, you can use FlashImageGUI to flash a custom recovery. Then reboot device to recovery and following flashing steps posted in the FAQ. FlashImageGUI is an application ( apk ). You can download it from Play Store. ROM must be on SDCARD to flash it via recovery. You can also use Android Flash Recovery to flash a custom recovery if you prefer using Windows. Link is in my signature. The download contains the drivers needed for Windows to detect your device. You must install them before attempting to flash the recovery. Drivers are located in the usb folder in the archive.

Honestly I'm not sure. I've try not to use KDZ because of all the devices that have been bricked by it. I'm not saying that yours will get bricked, but I was never willing to try. I still have a P509 but I don't use it anymore except for testing apps that I write. KDZ has bricked 2 P506's for me. But, I think the issue was that I left the SIM card in the device. Not sure tho. Sorry I cannot give you a more direct answer.

It will update your recovery to the newest stock recovery is my guess but that won't work. Stock recovery doesn't allow for custom ROM installations. As I mentioned earlier, you will need to install a custom recovery and not thru LG Update. Along with Android Flash Recovery ( AFR ) there are many other tools here at XDA that are far safer to use than LG's software since most of LG's stuff is crap. Just do a little searching and you'll find what you're looking for. My job is not to give you all the answers you want, but to point you in the right direction. Here at XDA we stress using the Search feature.
