Hi guys, I really need your help.
I'm a n00b at these matters,couple of weeks ago just got my LG p990 and I've been reading xda forum on it religiously for the past few days.I decided to upgrade my ROM.
First I upgraded to V30a ROM Android 4.0.4. and that went great.But I wasn't satisfied so much with it,and decided to upgrade to cm10.1 nightly ROM.
I rooted Android 4.0.4,installed CWM,backed up my phone
Downloaded the latest CM10.1 for p990 built 20130406.
Downloaded latest gapps and transferred both files to SD card
Started my phone in recovery mode.Did a complete wipe and flashed both cm10.1 and gapps.
Restarted the phone and its been 15 minutes and the phone is turned on but just showing LG logo.I presume this is a boot loop.
This is the second time its happening,since moments ago when it did not boot the first time,i took out the battery and booted it in recovery,did again complete wipe,flashed both cm10 and gapps,and booted it again.Result is the same.
While it was being flashed,I noticed that said it could not find MD5 file.I don't know if that is normal,since as I said before, n00b.
Please help.
EDIT: I did it again,this time without installing gapps.I cleared davlik catche and proceeded to reboot.Then it says: No OS installed,are you sure you want to reboot? So I decided against it and restored v30a ROM.I really want this new ROM,please help.I used instructions to the letter from this video youtube video : [How To] Root and Upgrade LG Optimus Speed/2x [P990] to Android 4.2.2 [JellyBean]

Hey Guys, i installed MIUI on Android version 2.3.7 and i tried to install Android Revolution HDand when i flashed PG58IMG.ZIP it said the model number is wrong on the bootloader screen and it won't let me get to recovery (4EXT) so I have to take the memory card out to get to recovery. Also i backed up my data, used SuperWipe, and flashed Android Revolution and restarted, my phone gets stuck on the HTC Quietly Brilliant Screen and won't boot. So then i took the memory card out an the battery out, and put it back in to get to recovery mode and i went back to MIUI.
What Should I do?
Thanks Guys
im not sure but it sounds like maybe you dont have your cid for the rom you want or not everything matches up i suggest you go to this link and make sure you have everything. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
also you said 2.3.7? i say you should upgrade to ics, alot of roms are based in that now anyway in including MIUI. also for AHDR check out this thread on everything

Ok, I know there are a lot of threads on these topic and believe me i have spent a lot of time reading multiple threads and the end result is i am not sure how to proceed , for my particular froyo version so I am posting it here hoping some Kind soul will help/suggest me on installing Cyanogen mod 7.
So here I go.
I have an LG P500 model phone with Anroid Froyo 2.2.1 (Software version V10c-DEC-08-2012, Build number FRG-83, KErnel 2.6.32.9 ). After trying several ways finally I have rooted my phone successfully. after making a clockwork recovery of my custom ROM, I proceeded to install CM7 Stable (for P500) using my 2GB memory card with 200 MB free space, it did not succeed and got stuck with the CM7 android logo.
I cleared up my memory upto 450MB and proceeded again by deleting cache/data and installing CM7 stable. This time it did install but i lost the IMEI number and the phone could not detect any network. I got the same result when i tried CM7 RC-3 . being unable to get a working phone I have reverted back to my custom rom using recovery.
After reading so many threads about these issues, i feel that this is some kind of basband problem as mine version is V10C, Can someone please help me how to install CM7 without loosing my IMEI and netwroks. (a step by step approach would me most appreciated). Thanks in advance.
Yes you need to upgrade your baseband to V20, there are several tutorials (step by step) on how to upgrade baseband on this forum.

Thanks for the reply, but do i need to install the new baseband after flashing with CM7 or prior to installingCM7, Please clarify this. as I dont want to get stuck again.
cm7 roms are new bb. u need to upgrade to v20 b4 flashng cm7. u can do it using lg pc suite or kdz updater.
Solved
I followed
tried to install V20 using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1217504 which i found from here
I followed the steps in the thread but nothing noticable changed after doing it.
Thinking it had worked somehow I Flashed it now with CM7 but sadly nothing changed and my phone still did not had any network or IMEI even now.
I followed this http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/44849-My-experience-rooting-and-ROMing-the-p500-on-Android-2.2.2..... and flashed using oldBBfix_signed.zip and whoa I got my network working again in no time.
Thank you guys for your reply and special Thanks to the people who made the threads that i have added above. :good::laugh:
Hi there, I have been trying for countless hours to make a custom ROM work on my P920 with no results, always some issues. I've managed to brick my phone in different ways a billion times now, then spent billion hours unbricking it and in the end I'm always back to where I started. I would really love some help please.
My phone is P920.
The android version I'm running is: 2.3.5
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7+
Software version: V21E
Rooting method: megatron
Now I would like a ROM that uses Android 4 and that can still use the 3D features such as 3D camera, the ROM calledthe Darkroom International would be an example I imagine.
While that's one of the ROMs that I would want, I've tried many, and always encountering issues, let me clarify.
First of all my device has to be rooted and since SuperOneClick doesn't work for me as it gets stuck on step 7, I use megatron which works well. I even double check if my phone is rooted with the Root Checker from the Android store. Now according to the guides I've read I need a custom recovery system, so I install Clockworkmod. I then place the ROM on the SD card, in the recovery menu I delete cache, that other cache, format it, format system, data, everything those guides tell me to. Afterwards, I install the ROM by selecting the zip and then I reboot. I've tried like 3 different ROMs, jellybem, cyanogenmod and some other. Yes I know none of them support 3D features - I didn't know at the time. Anyway, the issue was always the same, right after the LG logo there would be a screen with some weird colors showing the display of what happened before the phone crashed. Before it crashed? Yes, the phone would actually boot into the ROM but only for a few minutes, crashing afterwards. The next time I would boot, it would show that weird screen with those fancy colors with what happened just before it crashed. So I followed some steps and I got back to the original 2.3.5 ROM, everything back to normal.
I tried doing some more research and I came across the Darkroom Intentional ROM which had a bit different instructions. It asked me to install TWRP recovery with a bootloader, so I did, successfully, then did all the clean cache etc, installed ROM, bam, wouldn't boot at all. Oh boy have I had issues here, I couldn't even get it back to the default 2.3.5 stock ROM because my phone wasn't even recognized in the device manager. So I did some more research, found a solution, managed to flash back to 2.3.5 stock and I'm back to square one.
Now, could someone please help and explain to me what exactly have I done wrong and how I can make it right? I've spent countless hours now trying to install a custom ROM with no success. Sorry about the long read. If you need me to supply some more information please let me know. Thank you.
First of all if u want to use an ICS ROM then u need to update to ICS FIRST u can't flash it directly from 2.3.5 u can use xbsalls thread to update......
Next if cm based Roms are crashing then u need to flash bootloaders which means u should use os_hacking tool to flash ICS bootladers if u wanna update
Or flash GB bootloaders
So first update if u want
Root
Flash bootloaders
Flash recovery
Flash Roms

Hi guys,
My son of 9 wanted a telephone so I bought him a LG P920 3D because I can't afford a new one now. I wanted to install CyanogenMod cm-10-20131006-NIGHTLY-p920 and gapps-jb-20121011-signed. I have done it before with my own phone (S3) and tablet (TF101) and that went just fine.
Now with my son's phone something went wrong. It's now only showing the round CyanogenMod logo which keeps spinning and nothing more.
I especially bought ClockworkMod Touch Recovery to flash it with. Please help me because my little boy is very dissapointed and he got a present, a car you can control wireless with a phone and that was the reason why I wanted to flash it. So he could play with his new toy.
I did a factory reset so I started flashing with a clean phone. Please help me!
First install ICS V30A baseband use this video (you may need to go in to the stock recovery after flashing and do a factory reset is a problem arises during flashing)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqC5qw6WRaY&feature=youtube_gdata_player
secound install WKparts bootloader and TWRP you can use a tool om this forum named simple tool can be found here everything you need is in the tool
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/p959msww1ol04s4/BUlrkRLEs7
and then load a rom on to the external SD card and flash it in TWRP or CWM touch i recomend

if you want the newest CM although it's a bit more hassle with this 4.2.2 pacman rom as you need to delete the first line in updater script for it to work properly on ICS
@sioxz
thanks for your response but after a while I found out that I had to hold on the volume down (and not up!) + power + 3D button. I've read somewhere volume up so ofcourse nothing happened. Finally back in recovery I could flash again another rom and that went fine. But now I have another problem and that is I don't have a baseband version.
So no 3G!! What do I have to do to get a baseband?? I really have no idea, I've search everywhere but I couldn't find anything.

i don't know where you can flash only the base band but the V30A haves baseband in it and it makes to that you have to flash the custom bootloader which works really good (can boot anything)
You can flash baseband with LG Flash Tool.

Can you please tell me how, step-by-step. I've read some tutorials here but they are so not easy to read because they always use so many different colors and fonts it becomes hard for me to understand what they are saying.
Mine is about as clear and detailed as you will find
