So i have taken alot from this community, as in information. I've asked alot of questions and used alot of peoples help and software so i thought it was time to give back to the community and since i have no knowledge of coding(gonna self teach from google/youtube) i decided to make a guide for people new to the O3D or just someone who hasn't figured the potential of there O3D.
*Note*:
These are my preferences so if you don't like it don't add it please don't complain*
If you are having issues with a particular part you can request help on this thread but you should find the thread about what your having issues with first and ask there(i will link all my sources in this post)*
Got something to add? post it here on this thread or send me a pm with details and i can add it to the guide*
*This guide assumes you have a phone running on gingerbread
MANBEARPIG'S Guide To A Joyful Time With Your LG optimus 3D(p920)
1.Rooting your phone
**** Rooting your phone can brick phone if your are careless****
*The most easy way to root your phone is by downloading the file here: http://vulnfactory.org/blog/2012/02/26/rooting-the-lg-thrill-optimus-3d/
***Unfortunately i dont know of a way to root your phone if your using a mac so i can't help you there***
*Now once you have downloaded the file extract it (using winrar or a similar program) to the destination of your choice and open the folder called: "megatron_windows" now make sure your phone is connected via usb and mass storage is turned off. Now run the application called "adb" it should be done within a few seconds.
*after you've installed adb click on the windows batch file
{
"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"
}
now hit ANY key and wait a few minutes and voila your phone is now rooted
*****if you are having trouble users have reported that having to many maps installed stops the root process working*********
Now for those who don't know what rooting is, it is basically needed for everything i will be doing,But in short it just allows the user to have full access of their phone.
2.Roms & Kernels
*This is probably the biggest customization of your phone and if you follow these steps you will have no problems. Roms & kernels are basically someone else's version of android software eg. they can change what the notifiaction bar looks like and port over other phones UI.*Note a rom and kernel are two different things a good description can be found here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=ROM-VS-Kernel
*okay so step one is installing Rom Manager it is a needed tool and you can download the free version off the play store(no need to buy premium as everything needed to be done can be done on the free app).now once you have installed this app and you open it you will see a menu click on "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery:
Now towards the end of the download a littlebox will pop up asking for superuser access(this is asking root access so it can edit files within your phone) tick remember and click allow
****Ok so some users are saying that flashing it using rom manager doesn't work for them so i would suggest using this(i dont want to put it all here as it is not my work): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1482713
ok so now we have rom manager organized we will do a backup in case anything goes wrong. your will find this option on the main menu on the tab called backup current rom(this is in case anything goes wrong during the proccess of installing a new rom you can go back to your backup) if you have an external sd card in your phone you can go in settings and change it so when you backup your rom it saves on your external sd card.now click backup rom and your phone sohuld shut off and turn back on entering 'recovery mode' it should then automatically start backing up all your stuff once it is done, using the volume keys to go up and down and the search button to click it, click on 'reboot phone'.
*Ok now you have backed up your stuff you are ready to install roms and kernels.
Everyone has there own preferences so im going to link some roms here each have there own features i preferably like to keep it stock but a lot more faster and less lg and Google stuff.
check out these links and download the file you want or files if you want to try a few out.(i will get to kernels after roms).
***when downloading roms you will need the right rom depending on your software version, you can find this under settings/about phone and look under software version and look at the letter and number combo eg. V20e or v21D and then download a matching rom to your software version.
Some Roms:
Meemo's Roms:

Kamfbestie's roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441506
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605213
so there is some roms, i have not included every single one but here is a few be sure to check out the O3D android development section to find other roms not listed, also please thank all the developers if you liked their roms and if you loved their rom donate to them they out a lot of effort into it.
*Okay now to installing the rom:
open up rom manager and hit install rom form sdcard and fin the place you downloaded your rom (dont unzip the file the rom came in) and click on it.
it will then give you three things oyu can choose,click: wipre data and cache and wipe dalvik cache also click backup existing rom if you havn't dont so already.
*after you hit ok your phone should enter recovery and should automatically start wiping the data and installing the rom, once its done hit reboot phone.
if your phone gets stuck on lg logo or doesn't reboot it means that either the installation failed or something in the rom's zip is missing or could be some kind of incompatibility, if this happens you can turn off your phone then hold the volume down button + power button till the lg logo shows then your phone will enter recovery and you can restore your backup.I cannot help you with any issues faced to do with incompatibility.
ok so once your phone has rebooted depending on what romm you downloaded you might not notice any changes straight away although later down the path you might notice some changes in speed and ram etc.
Installing Kernels
*kernels differ from roms as they provide performance tweaks such as overclocking the processor or gpu and can be applied on top of compatible roms.NOTElease check the rom you installed is compatible with different kernels.
There is not many kernels to choose from as many roms have kernels installed with them but here is the most popular kernel:
Samno's kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1547319
**NOTE:if you have decided to use meemos DNA rom and you have v20e software like me so you downloaded his RTL(right to left) version it says that it is incompatible with other kernels,but i have managed to run samnos titan kernel for V21d just fine on it**
*installing the kernel:
installing the kernel is exactly the same as a rom except when you choose to install rom form sdcard and you click on it dont click wipe data or dalvik cache but you should backup your rom just in case of any incompatibilities.
OverClocking Guide
*This is not my work, i do not know who originally found this i am just writing down the information people have shared with me,sorry if there is already a guide about it,it just seems lost as its not on the first few pages and lots of people are asking about it.*
Before we begin make sure you have a kernel that supports overclocking modules,i use titan kernel as it is a stable and fast kernel.
*also make sure your phone is rooted*
Download the file here:
http://db.tt/ApM2BzbV
Now using a root file explorer/manager take out the files symsearch.ko and opperator.ko and place them at /system/lib/modules
Now to overclock you use a terminal emulator and type: (this is an example to overclock at 1.3ghz change the 3 to a 4 for 1.4ghz
su
echo 1300000000 > /proc/opperator
And now your phone should be opperating at 1.3ghz
*after every reboot to overclock it again you must type this again*

For rooting your phone, there's no need to "install" ADB since it's not an installable package. You can just execute run.bat straightaway without double clicking ADB. You'll need the ADB drivers for your phone before executing run.bat, and you'll also need to enable debugging on your phone (settings > applications > development > USB debugging)
Also, for flashing CWM, I highly recommend not using ROM Manager as it sometimes recognises the P920 as the Optimus 2x which is not compatible with the P920. If someone flashes the Optimus 2x recovery on a P920, bad things will happen. I would suggest using this to flash instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1482713

Yes many people bricked their O3Ds by flashing recovery through ROM Manager (especially the previous version).
Much safer way is to flash recovery with the tool pandaball suggested or with two other tools that can flash any recovery (CWM, CWM Touch, Stock) you want.

Any links to baseband files to use with LG Flash tool?
edit:
P920
V21E baseband
V18A baseband
P920 DLL file
P925:
V10E baseband
V20C baseband
V20P baseband
P925 DLL file
You could add one detail to the rooting part of the guide, if you have to many apps installed megatron will fail.
It took me way to long to figure that out after flashing V21E kdz, a factory reset solved that but I hesitated because with no root titanium backup would be useless.

there was a small hiccup tho' due to my ignorance ... was not able to boot into recovery mode (holding "Power" + "VolDown" + "3D" keys always causing shutoff). After a few tries, found out that i should hv release the "power" key right after boot-up or else will trigger shutdown, stupid me

WOW- followed your instruction -deleted a few apps -BUT installed-----
download the "LGP920_CWM_5.8.1.5_Flasher.zip" und unzip folder on your PC.
IM OVER MOON AND IVE GOT A STIIFI
NOTE: I will not be held responsible on anything that may happens to your phone... This proceedure is to DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK!! and rooting the phone may void your warranty ..
Its better to try Superoneclick and Unlockroot procedure first before you try this!! this is just your last option when you think both fails to root your phone.
These are the steps I did to successfully root my cheap Alcatel OT-918N (white from SUN Carrier Philippines) in chronological order.
Credits should go to breakk and his team and the forum where it was posted http://www.movilesdualsim.com/foro/threads/9022-TUTORIAL-ROOTEAR-ALCATEL-OT-918-D-(Android-2-3-5) This is the 3rd procedure they suggested I just translated it.. Thanks a lot mates!!!
Download all and follow all instructions carefully:
1. Drivers MTK6516_PL-2303_para_XP, vista y win 7.rar--- http://www.mediafire.com/?32e6q4fzx7ahoeh

3. flash tool and scatter.txt --- http://www.mediafire.com/?9w5b5h1ywseljrr
4. EXtract all downloads to a single folder that can be easily located.
5. Backup your files
6. make sure the phone is charged with enough battery then turn the phone off
7. while its off connect the phone to your PC using a USB Cable
8. An unknown device will appear instantly
9. choose to update driver manualy.Depending on the OS you have (xp, vista, 7) install the appropriate driver from STEP 1.
10. If you installed the drivers correctly UNPLUG your phone and you can now proceed to the next step
11. run "Flash_tool.exe" from the extracted files

14. it will gives you an ERROR [WARNING HINT] JUST PROCEED and click OK
15. a list will appear, scroll down and CLICK the BOX beside "ANDROID"
16. then double click on the word "Android" and browse for the file system.img (the file you downloaded in Step 2) and open it
17. Now click the button Download in the top of the flashtool window
18. This will initiate a 15 second countdown at the bottom of the window, plug the 918N in the usb port during this countodown (the phone must be off)
19. You will see a yellow bar @ the bottom, wait until it goes reaches 100%. Once this is done there will be a message that will report that you successfully completed the process,also a green/white circle will appear in the flashtool and on the screen of your mobile the battery charging indicator will appear. UNPLUG the phone from the usb port and press the POWER. The phone will start and the Android logo will appear, now just wait a few minutes without touching anything on the phone (buttons or touchscreen), it will take some time to load the system.img. Once the screen displays the menu that asks for password the for 2 SIM cards you are ready, you have succesfully rooted the 918N!!! JUST HIT THE THANKS BUTTON

I did not continue because when I plug in my phone while powered off I see only "MTK65xx Preloader" and another unknown device. The unknown one disappears forever. I chose to manually install the driver for MTK65XX preloader thing with the mobileuncle one. When I reconnect it Windows still tries to install the driver. This might be because the drivers weren't properly installed.
I'm not risking it until this one is cleared up XD I know what to expect from the flash tool, but the driver installation in Windows is unclear (windows itself, not this tutorial)
Edit: LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL I don't know what I just did. I tried Easy Rooting Toolkit and SuperOneClick (again) and magically my phone got rooted. LOL. Dunno what happened there (other than enabling everything under "Development"). Thank you, heavens.

You can reinstall the driver again when it ask you the second time. And once the driver is not installed it will not established a connection to your phone and the flash tool will give you an error saying no device is connected. It will abort the flashing process so nothing will be flashed and all will be the same... The only thing you should be afraid of is when the yellow thing runs and you accedentally stop the process before reaching 100%. And lot of courage is needed as well. Hahaha

And the MTK65XX Preloader is the driver you need to install. When it popup dont choose search automatically, choose the other one and manually locate for the drivers youve download

Sir Jbazt_katuforzs i'm using windows 7 32bit i just can't install the preloader driver and i don't know why. Tried the exe installer and manual but still when i'm connecting it on data cable it can't find the preloader like what "kpbotbot" 's experiencing. The Manual installation is loading a modem driver for the device.

Choose the driver depending on your OS. Did the pc recognized an unknown device when you plug the phone while its off? If not the previous drivers you've installed from superoneclick and unlockroot messes the ports. Try to install it on a different pc running xp. It will only take you 5-10 mins

2.3.6 and Rooted..
just want to share, i successfully rooted my OT-918N from SunCellular PH with Android 2.3.6 using the following scatter.txt and recovery.img file.
the procedure is the almost the same. skipping the loading of system.img as we are only after the custom recovery to be able to install superuser and busybox.
another thing is i set the flashtool to USB Mode instead of scanning to com ports... hope you get the same results as i did.
This thread is for discussion for the development of this device. All interested devs are very welcome to join and help.
I started working on this device since I got it day 1 on March 11, 2013. Slowly, I progressed to every step in learning more about this device. Since then, many have joined finding ways to make this device better.
UPDATE:
This thread is old and very few to none uses this device anymore. I will leave this thread here for your reference.

Unbrick theory...
trying the one touch upgrade utility. it wipes all data in phone and installs a fresh and latest ROM for the device. i guess this will also fix a bricked device somehow.
after this i will try to root it again using MTK tools and ap flash tools with a different idea in my mind... hope it works this time...
[EDIT] UNBRICK METHOD CONFIRMED WORKING!!!
One touch Upgrade
Hello there I'm a total noob in rooting and unlocking bootloads. I just got the same phone as my first android phone and wondered how to root it and I end up here. Now I'm asking how did you get the one touch upgrade software. I've searched the whole alcatel website but I keep getting on the FAQ page. Would you be so kind to put up the link for the software because I kinda bricked my phone here. I was also wondering what speed did you use during your Bin4ry script root attempt? Normal or Special? Keep doing a good job. Thanks for having the time to look for ways to root this phone.

I tried the normal mode as Bin4ry said that the others might brick the phone it it wasn't the right model. did you brick it using the srcipt? any way. still trying to root it and finding help from rua1 that has a great knowledge in MTK phones...
here's the link of the upgrade utiliuty... just install it and choose alcatel 4030 (if your phone is s'pop) then power of the phone remove the battery and follow the instructions on PC and wait till it says plug the phone while powered off.. plug the usb (without battery) then wait for it to detect the device. when it loads, put the battery back and wait for it to download the firmware.. it will take hours to download it.. it's about 2+gigs... good luck on unbricking.. hope it works...
Phone unbricked
Many thanks for the software. My phone is now back to stock rom. for the Bin4ry I also tried Normal because I thought it was for tabs only. So MTK is the only course of action? Any news on fixing the 2 point horizontal bug? and the alcatel FAQ says there's this TCL calibration that you can activate to you know "calibrate" the touch screen. Do you also get the problem where in the stock alarm app alarms but you can't dismiss it ( I set it to crazy mode ) where you need to press 3 buttons to dismiss but still won't stop I really need to pull the battery out. Help please Thanks in advance.

Any news on fixing the 2 point horizontal bug? and the alcatel FAQ says there's this TCL calibration that you can activate to you know "calibrate" the touch screen. Do you also get the problem where in the stock alarm app alarms but you can't dismiss it ( I set it to crazy mode ) where you need to press 3 buttons to dismiss but still won't stop I really need to pull the battery out. Help please Thanks in advance.

Great. So my theory really worked. Glad you unbricked it. I'm getting closer to rooting it. Just having problems flashing the cwm. Ones I managed to flash it, rooting may be successful. I use Mtk tools and flash tools and get help from rua1. Didn't use my alarm before so i'm not sure about the bug. Maybe you don't have to set it in crazy mode..
I tried to set the alarm in crazy mode and everything works fine. Just dismiss, unlock, and tap the three buttons with numbers and your done..
Rooted, finally!!
I finally rooted the alcatel spop. I will make a guide maybe later how I did it...

How to flash CWM recovery and root Alcatel One Touch S'POP 4030X(Glory 2)
Disclaimer: Your warranty is now void. You do this in your own risk. I do not take any responsibility to your device. This will definitely brick your device which is normal but follow the right instructions to make it work again.
Credits: This is tuts would not be possible without the help from the creator of MTKdroid tools, rua1 from XDA Developers. Thank the guy for his wonderful tool. If you wanna know how I did it, go to his thread right here. I also wanna acknowledge The Solutor and rimmon1971's efforts for porting the TWRP to our device. You can find The Solutor's work here.
Requirements:
1. A windows based PC
2. MTK Droid Root & Tools & SP Flash Tool
3. Universal ADB driver
4. One Touch Upgrade S
5. Root script
6. Patience
7. Most important! Use your brain!
Important!
To make this work without errors, don't use other drivers available in the web. Just install One Touch Upgrade S first. It will install the USB VCOM preloader driver. It will be needed by the SPFT to detect the phone. Use the provided ADB driver for the MT65xx_android_phone. If ever you get stucked in an error and your device wont boot anymore, just use One Touch Upgrade and your phone will be as good as new...
Guide: CWM/TWRP recovery
1. Download MTK Droid Root & Tools & SP Flash Tools, ADB Drivers, One Touch Upgrade S, and the Root script. Extract them anywhere in your computer.
2.Install ADB driver.This step is now optional to get adb working. You can now skip to step 5 if you just want to get rooted with CWM/TWRP recovery installed.. In your phone, go to Settings>Development. Set to on and check USB debugging.

}
3. Connect device to PC. Driver will fail to install (thats normal). Install UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi
Note: in Windows 8, this will pop-up. do this:
4. After installing the Universal ADB driver, go to device manager of your computer. Follow the images as descirbed.
ADB commands should work now (if you have ADB installed) and you won't have any problems about MTK droid tool not detecting phone.
5. Be sure that you have already installed One Touch Upgrade S before this step. Open SP Flash tool and select the scatter file by clicking on the Scatter-loading button.
6. UNCHECK BOOT and leave RECOVERY checked. Disregard what is on the photo. There's are reports that the latest firmwares are incompatible with the uploaded patched boot.img.
Note: By default, the CWM recovery will be selected in the SP Flash tool. If you want the fully working TWRP-recovery (I recomment this because CWM recovery is not fully functional), just click RECOVERY and replace it with this file.
7. Click Download button. Click yes on the download warning. Turn off phone, remove battery and connect the phone (without battery) and wait until SP Flash tool detects the phone and watch as it flash the image.
8. If everything passes without errors, unplug the phone, reinsert battery and boot to recovery by pressing power + volume up.
9. You should boot in CWM/TWRP recovery. We are ready to flash the Superuser app to gain root.
Guide: Superuser
You can use mtk droid root and tools here. Just plug in phone to pc while still in CWM recovery. Run mtk tools, wait to detect phone, click superuser, then build.prop, then delete china. Your done. Or use the guide below if you have problems with it.
Using CWM recovery to flash superSU
1. While still on CWM recovery, plug the phone into PC again.
2. Navigate using volume up and down buttons. Press Power button to select and Back soft key to go back.
3. Select mounts and storage>mount USB storage.
4. Copy the root-glory-2-4030E.zip to your sdcard.
5. After copying, select unmount and go back.
6. Select install zip from sdcard>choose zip from sdcard>root-glory-2-4030E.zip and select yes - Install root-glory-2-4030E.zip
7. It will flash the app to the system including all needed binaries. I also included the fix-permissions banary which is missing from the ROM.
8. Reboot the phone and wait. It will boot normally and no data will be lost. You will see superuser app in your app drawer. You are now rooted!:thumbsup:
Using TWRP recovery to flash superSU
1. While still on TWRP recovery,Connect the device to PC.
2. Tap mount in the screen then Mount USB storage.
3. Copy the root-glory-2-4030E.zip to your sdcard.

bootanimation problem!
I changed my bootanimation and tried if it works using these commands which i normally do with my past android devices.
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
the animation works fine but when i hit:
Code:
adb reboot
the animation showed was just android mask or android shine which shows when you don't have bootanimation.zip inside /data/local or /system/media. it's like a default bootanimation.
so once I booted, I tried again
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
the bootanimation works but when I reboot, it's back to default.
I tried replacing back the original bootanimation.zip but it still the defaut bootanimation. It's very weird. I haven't encountered this before...

Found out the cause of this issue. The stock ROM has no fix_permissions binary. So I pushed the binary and tried to fix perm again and now custom bootanimation.zip works!

Did you install the MediaTek drivers from the link above? Make sure you dont have the phone connected in the PDANet+ (Right click on the System Tray icon and click on disconnect. Also make sure you have USB debug enabled, under Settings->Developer Options.
If all the above fail try restarting the system and try to connect the phone to a different USB port on your computer.
let me know the results.

Use my unbricking method to restore your device, and i don't think Step 5 should be a problem.
Phones not in boot loop it works fine. Just nothing happens when I click download and connect the phone without the battery.
