!!! NOW HIT THAT THANKS BUTTON !!!
About ICS on P920:
I guess you have read the news in the [ALL ICS / JELLYBEAN] Related Topics / Requests / Questions [xbsall has ported ICS]
This is what you have all been waiting for the last 1? 2? 3? 4? 5? 6? months... (or more)
This is the FIRST ICS FULL 3D ROM for the P920.
This is a direct port from SU760 (KOREAN O3D) modified to work on the P920.
This one is NOT rooted NOT cleaned from bloatware its 100% STOCK V30B.
!!!TAKE ALL OF YOUR FILES FROM YOUR PHONE AND INTERNAL SDCARD CAUSE EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE DELETED!!!!
Installation:
Download ROM file XBSA404.rar.
In the rar file you will find two files ..
One is a bin the other is an fls.
Flash them both with LG Flashtool like you normally do, they are already modified to work with P920.
Enjoy...
Multilanguage Support?
Languages: User Interface is only available in Korean and English.
Known Bugs:
Camera is upside/down. (For 2D use CAM360 Application from Google Playstore go to setting and use Direction Revise to fix it)
Capasitive keys search button is acting as a back button.
SMS Messages are only 80 characters.
FM Radio: Does't work with Gingerbread/Froyo app.
Basebands:
I have created baseband thread with so far WORKING Basebands info ICS Basebands
Root:

ClockWorkMod/TWRP:
Yes Rezzsha has found it. Good work Rezzsha :good:
Working (temp)TWRP /CWM recovery for ICS Port
Bloatware:
Yes this is FULL of SKT bloatware because it's an OFFICIAL SU760 ROM.
After you ROOT it you have to remove them yourself.
A few tips what is needed and what is not you cn get from this post.

P.S Just like with every other ROM or modification once again i have to say that i don't take any responsibility if something happens to your phone by using this ROM...
Some Help:
LG FlashTool Guide
More help about Flashtool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33332970&postcount=368
Downgrade:
In case you want to downgrade to Gingerbread go [GUIDE] [P920] [SU760] Resurrection Guide (Lets get those brick's fixed...) and flash BOOTV21E ROM..
Read the Guide and if that doesn't work i can't help you more.
Will there be a Custom ICS ROM?
Custom ROM will be Uploaded only if LG don't release ICS for P920.
Question's/Answer's:
Q: If something doesn't work or i get bricked can i send you my TeamViewer ID to help me?
A: Yes you can but i won't do it. I already spend 4 days to Port this and another 4 days helping people with Teamviewer, answering to posts, answering to pm's and trying to organise this so people would know what to do. Sorry but i can't help more. If you don't know how to do it just don't do it.
Q: Will there be a Porting Guide?
A: No there won't be a Porting Guide and that's for your own safety.
Experienced Developer's probably know now how i Ported this ROM and if you are willing to try porting this again or porting another ROM and you get bricked don't ask for help from me. Maybe an experienced user will be willing to help you.
Q: This ROM is buggy i don't like it! Gingerbread was better! tell me when LG will Release an ICS Official ROM for P920?
A: I don't know. I am not LG Support. Go back to Gingerbread and wait until they make one.
Q: Is there a way that i can repay this with a Donation?
A No. I did this because i wanted to give ICS to P920 users. You can press this threads Thanks Button.

Can it be rooted?

Thanks. That is what we are waiting for long time.

yes but dont expect that now from me.
I ll post the custom and rooted rom when i ll have it ready

Installation:
In the rar file you will find two files ..
One is a bin the other is an fls.
Flash them both with LG Flashtool like you normally do, they are already modified to work with P920.
As I am running V20c and have not actually flashed a baseband van someone please put up a link or the steps for how this is done? Is is safe to assume that I will get 3g by flashing this?
Thanks for the great work mate

How well will this work on the P925?

i m using the su760 baseband on the p920 i dont know about p925 you will have to try.
if you dont flash the su760 baseband the rom will be useless and constantly rebooting from the first minute..

Yeah, I realize the baseband plays a big role when flashing ROMs. When I get a chance, I'll go ahead and flash it, and see what happens. FOR SCIENCE!

Can you also try to port ICS of 3D CUBE SU870.
It also has some hardware differences i.e it has NFC and more internal storage but P725 doesn't have NFC and only 8GB internal storage.

ASUS Padfone2 Development Thread [Index][How-to][Root][Recovery]

This is a general index and howto's and sources of development related stuff for the Asus Padfone2 A68. I do not own or take credit for anything that has been done for this device, I am merely a tester and user
We are looking for ROM chefs!
See post #2 for if all else fails solution
See post #3 for Mods made by this thread's community and other incoming Mods that would be made available
Available tools:
Remember to turn on USB debugging":
*Settings>Developer Options>Tick on>Tick on debugging*
Fastboot and ADB drivers (We have a plethora of these thru xda or external google search)
-I prefer putting the unzipped packages to a personal folder on your desktop or a specific location of your choice. i.e. "D:\mydevfolder"
-Most of the files that would require fastboot and/or adb commands should be unzipped to that same location for access.
ASUS USB Drivers HERE
-To install, let the computer detect your device. Open device manager and choose the Asus android adb blahblah device. Update the driver and browse manually to where you put the driver folder. This should allow you to use fastboot and adb properly.
Unlock.APK HERE under Utilities
-Copy this to your phone and sideload. If prompted to turn of security, do so.
Latest Firmware HERE under Firmware and look for the correct version( WWE, TW, HK, ETC)
-This is for reverting back to stock which will wipe the smartphone clean including re-lock of the bootloader("fastboot oem lock" does not work)
insecure JB and/or ICS images on the same post here
-Depending on your current version you may need to flash one of the other img's
One click SUPERBOOT for Windows/Mac/Linux http://www.modaco.com/topic/360416-superboot-padfone-2-root-solution/
-Should be the easiest way to root
-Unlock bootloader> boot to bootloader > run batch file
****************De-odexed stock ROM here and here links will be changed when updates are made
CHANGE SKU](Firmware version) WWE-TW-HK-JP
-Instructions and original thread here thanks to gsep
Another method that I have tested as such:
*Make sure to flash superboot first*
-Install/Flash TWRP custom recovery
-Download desired stock ROM from Asus
-Put the OTA.zip or the whole extracted folder to your sdcard
-Reboot to TWRP
-Install OTA.zip
-Wipe cache and dalvik cache
-reboot and profit
-A factory settings is recommended after flashing stock ROM, so backup
TWRP 2.4.3.0 custom recovery
-via Goo Manager from the Playstore or here
-TWRP site here
-or here
ALL CREDITS GO TO Dees_troy of TWRP
CWM here
How-to unlock bootloader:
*I strongly recommend backing up*
1. Copy the UnLock.apk you have downloaded and paste it on your sdcard(anywhere you would be able to navigate to using at least the stock File Manager)
2. Install the app. If prompted that unknown sources is disabled, simply enable it.
3. Run the app after installation
4. A few notices/disclaimers will be displayed pertaining to the warranty upon unlocking. You will be prompted to type in your google account password if you have one logged on the device(will need internet connection if so).
5. The device will reboot and your bootloader should be unlocked and you will be able to reboot to the bootloader. You will not be able to receive OTA.
-To know that it is successful, type in "adb reboot-bootloader" when the devices fully boots up. The bootloader looks like the Splashscreen with "Fastboot Mode!!" on top.
How-to-gain-root
Since CWM and TWRP offers to root your device if it detects that it has not been rooted, simply flash your custom recovery, boot to it, and then reboot to system. It should ask to root your system
VIDEO ON HOW TO ROOT THE PADFONE 2 here (this is old and I need to update this video)
ROM.zip installation
-copy your ROM.zip to your SDcard
-reboot to your custom recovery
-install ROM.zip
-wipe cache and dalvik cache
-reboot
Revert to Stock ROM: (ALL)
-Unzip the Firmware you have downloaded(make sure that's the correct version for you) to the root of your sdcard.
-Wait for system to recognize the update. If no, reboot.
-Install the update, it will revert to that stock ROM. In the process relocking the bootloader and flashing all stock images.

Re: [INITIATIVE/RECRUITMENT] ASUS Padfone2 Development /Root/ CustomRecovery(beta) /P
In case of distaster
In case that you've bricked your phone and you can't mount on your custom recovery
-Reboot to bootloader
-Flash stock recovery(It's up there you should be able to find it) "fastboot flash recovery *stockrecovery.img*"
-"fastboot erase cache"
-Boot to your stock recovery
-Sideload ROM to /cache
-install ROM via cache
*you may have to flash insecure boot.img again

MIUI Battery bar Mod by Lidenburg
Here! new version with bug fixes
lindsaytheflint said:
Well it offers the following:
Lowest CPU frequency set to 192mhz
CPU frequency locked to 192mhz-1512mhz during boot
Undervolted to save power & reduce heat
Undervolt interface (compatible with System Tuner, Kernel Tuner, etc)
Additional CPU Governors: Wheatley, InteractiveX v2
Set InteractiveX v2 CPU Governor to default instead of Performance, to lower battery consumption, maintain snappy performance, and improve GPU normal freq set to 128mhz to lower battery usage (will still scale upto 487mhz when busy)
Simple IO Scheduler (SIO) added, and set as default
Increased min/max read-ahead values from 16/128 to 32/1024
USB FastCharge upto 1400mA (enable using Kernel Tuner, sysfs, etc)
OC version: Overclocking upto 1.72ghz for a bit faster performance
OC version: GPU overclock to 487mhz
I'll leave it up to others to determine whether those features are of any benefit to them, but personally, any one of those features is beneficial to me. They're features I've appreciated from custom kernels on other phones, that's why I built the Stone kernel for PF2. There are people that have been using it for a month now, so I think it's safe to say initial testing is complete.

PFKBS - Padfone keyboard swither!!!
Are you tired to change keyboard always when you plug or unplug the padfone from station, that time is past now, solution is PFKBS!!!
Here it is the must to have app to Padfone2 (and maybe 1), the Padfone Keyboard Switcher! Need root!
App just start and you can choose the keyboards to tablet and to phone, and then you just start using what u just do!
Example, if you love the AOSP keybard on Phone, and Swype in tablet you just select those keyboards! This app switches keyboards without any prompt or any questions, only thing you need is a root rights.
App is only beta and I hope that you will report bugs you find!
I want to know if someone test this app on Padfone1 and report will it work! PF1 users must open zip and put only pfkbs.apk to system/app, do not flash the zip! Are you tired to change keyboard always when you plug or unplug the padfone from station, that time is past now, solution is PFKBS!!!

Thanks man you saved me the searching while I'm not yet home!
I figured out a way to root this thing using a combination of these guides that relatively made it simpler(basically how you usually root a device using fastboot and adb) cause some parts just didn't work the first time for me.

Reverting to stock:
-Unzip the Firmware you have downloaded(make sure that's the correct version for you) to the root of your sdcard.
-Wait for system to recognize the update. If no, reboot.
-Install the update, it will revert to that stock ROM. In the process relocking the bootloader and flashing all stock images.

Technically you're right.
But the tech at Asus has to do extra work to see whether you have previously unlocked it.
Its not like nexus device or other bootloaders where it will display the bootloader as "re-locked"
And "fastboot oem relock" doesnt work

Exactly. Here in Manila they do honor it(maybe depending on the situation, meltdown in mind).
As long as they saw the warranty card they just accept and do it. But they charge cause parts get shipped.
Minor problems they don't charge.. I think.. way back tf101

[Q] 2 Important questions before flashing

Before I start I would like to thank you in advance for dedicating your time to help me here (assuming that you did).I couldn't find the answers on the forums even though I searched.
1. Is there any way to backup my 2.2.1 froyo rom along with the kernel and baseband and EVERYTHING to make sure that if I take it back for repairs they can't accuse me of anything?
2. I have P500H and not the normal P500 mentioned in these forums, is there any risk of brick by flashing another rom designed for P500? And if it does work, will all of my cellular connectivity (RIL, calls, sms, 3G) keep working?

1. yes with LGMDP or KDZ, but you need the stock rom that can be found in general LG P500 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824618
2 read here, it was discussed before http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1830232
the answers are all in this forum, just try to search, read all sticky and FAQ threads and you should find all answers, but if you want to someone confirm you this, you can make a new thread like this just to be sure, cheers

This is all alittle bit complicated coming from the world of Samsung, is it possible to create a nandroid backup of froyo? is KDZ the equivilant of Odin?

Having used Odin and kdz I can say that KDZ is *RISKY*
It is maybe equivalent to Odin by the reference to the work they both do
And yeah you can create a nandroid backup of froyo

I would not want anything risky (everything is risky, but I prefer to take it to a minimum level ) as this is not my phone. Do you recommend flashing custom recovery through rom manager?

ROM manager has resulted in 100s of bricks (maybe more)
Don't use ROM manager on LGp500
You can use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=acr.recovery.installation.utility
Download amonra 3.06 and extract the recovery.IMG

[Guide][I9500]Expand your internal storage from 8GB to 11GB

Hi there, we all know that our i9500 comes with a 16GB flash chip. However since samsung squeezed in too much bloatware we have only 8.9GB available.
Now we have an official method by Samsung to expand it to be 11.8GB available to the user.
Before proceeding please know that this will erase all your data including your internal storage, so please make a backup first.
And this method works for me as well as many of my friends, however I do not guarantee success and I do not hold any responsibility if your phone bricks,or your dog doesn't like it or whatever problem you may encounter.
We do this by flashing via Odin a Chinese base firmware kit including kernel, radio, rom ,csc, pit and etc. The "pit" file is a partition table file which contains partition information, so the flash chip will be re-partitioned and thus gives us more user space.
The change starts from Chinese ME5 firmware but I would not recommend ME5 version since the bootloader is locked in some sense and will cause some random problems.
I don't recommend MG9 either since the modem gives problem.
So MG1 is our choice.
I9500ZCUCMG1
You can download it from here:
Let me know if you suffer from slow connection, I can try to make a mirror.
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=534429689&uk=2250796553
Update I have made a mirror, I included everything except the 2G system img file(due to my internet speed, and the fact that I can't find a free file hosting site for 1.3G file), which you can download easily from sammobile.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/i9500zcucmg1/files/I9500_ZCUCMG1_NoPDA.zip/download
Now unzip the file and you get these:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
These files are to be flashed into your I9500 via Odin in Download mode. The adonis_C.pit file is the partition information file that does the magic. However please don't flash it alone. Repartitioning will erase everything including data, system , internal storage and etc, so if you flash pit alone, your phone won't boot because there is nothing to boot.
I assume you know how to use Odin, so please enter download mode on your I9500, connect it to Odin, and select in Odin the files according to this picture and then press start.
Wait for a few minutes and you're good to go! Check if the phone boots and if you get larger storage. If everything is good, you can then flash a custom recovery via Odin, and then flash whatever custom ROM you want.
I believe this will not cause compatibility problems with international ROM since I have flashed WanamLite, Crash, Arrow Rom and got no problems at all. But anyway keep in mind I do not hold any responsibility if your phone bricks,or your dog doesn't like it or whatever problem you may encounter.
Any Q&A please read post #3, I'll keep updating feedbacks from others.

Q: I can't flash official ROMs now, what's wrong?
A: That is a known effect, due to the smaller partition size, only C version Chinese official ROMs will fit in. You will not be able to install B version offcial ROMs via Odin anymore. See Post #11 for details.
However custom ROM are not affected, flashing WanamLite, Arrow, Crush, Omega via custom recovery is tested and working perfectly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45214497&postcount=11
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Can I flash only the pit file and then custom recovery, and then a custom ROM, i.e. skipping bootloader, modem, and system?
A: well, supposedly it should work, however I have not tried it. Others tried and reported success. See post#38 Thanks for the feedback @Faye Reagan
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45237267&postcount=38
What I can confirm is that modem doesn't matter at all, I have flashed tons of modem and there is no single conflict(except for the MG9 fiasco). So you can surely skip the modem if you wish.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Will doing this change my Phone model and thus affect warranty?
A: Yes So please be sure you know what you're doing before proceeding.
My guess is that the changing phone model has something to do with the bootloader included, so you may skip the bootloader and keep your own one if you feel more comfortable that way, again I do not know what is the effect of this. Anyway according to post#38 this should be safe.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Can I revert to 8.9G data partition?
A: Yes, as reported by @AL_IRAQI in Post #66
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45250600&postcount=66
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Does it break dual boot?
A: Yes. The system partition is too small for 2 systems. See Post #52
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45245945&postcount=52
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q:will this work for I9505?
A: No. While I do believe same magic will be there for i9505 sonner or later, this is for now for I9500 ONLY.

Hi. Thanks for this info. Would love the extra space. Just a couple of quick questions.
Will it revert the phone back to stock fully??
Will it be possible to root and install custom roms later on?
And lastly does it effect the possibility to unroot and revert to official status if the phone is required to he returned for repairs??
Thanks in advance!!

1 , Yes your phone will be completely stock , which means you lose anything stored in your phone so please do make backup.
2, You can flash a custom recovery and do whatever you want after the process. As I mentioned I don't encounter any compatibility issues despite the Chinese base; but there is no guarantee.
3, Afaik there is no way to reset the binary counter in your S4 so by right warranty is lose if you flash a custom firmware and there's no way to revert.

Yes it's still shown as official, but your product name will become i9500CHN which means doing so totally converts your phone into a Chinese model. You can revert to your country model if you have the KIT for your country.
My guess is the change of product model is due to bootloader. So maybe you can try to skip flashing the bootloader and see what happens... Again do it at your own risk...
I don't care abt warranty stuff so I just flashed everything and i am happy now.

Only chinese C verson ROMs can be flashed via ODIN into 11.8GB available space devices, others version you will get a red FAILED on ODIN.
3 ways can solved this:
1. By flashed a third-party custom roms in recovery like Omega.
2. Flash C version ROMs via ODIN. (zcuCmh1 zcuCmg1).
3. You can modify stock img file and make it flashable for 11.8GB available space devices.
I did a third way and I made it..

well, to be honest Idk.
The 5 file kit is quite a different story from normal fw files, they are not often released. I only have a few Hongkong and Chinese versions of the kit. That's why I suggested you to try to keep your bootloader and see what happens...

Err, so you have an external sd card to put the zip file right?
If that's your case then it seems logical. But I would say again, if you want to try, try at your own risk:good:

Yes so I thought maybe flash pit first that will erase everything and then it will be in a bootloop so go to download mode again n flash custom recovery n then flash omega n boot
