CWM only option is optimus 2x

Hey guys, when i try to install recovery the only device option that comes out is 'optimus 2x'. Whenever I try install this it bricks my phone and I have to reflash the kdz file. In the beginning before i flashed gingerbread, the 'optimus 3d' option was available, but now only the 2x is offered. Anyone have experience/solutions to this? Really want to flash thiazrom

It's a bug in the ROM Manager. Use 4.8.0.7 or the newest 5.0.0.6 that should work too (at least it did for me)

Use old version of Rom Manager

Go into download mode by holding Vol+ Button and connecting to the PC. When you have sound on you should hear that windows sound when plugging in a new device. Then release the button, the screen of the phone will stay black. Windows should discover a new device and install drivers (needs the LG Drivers)
Then you can use the emergency mode from the LG Mobile Support Tool to reflash with official Firmware.
That's what I did. The LG Tool installed V21A (because I have a european device), so I was able to root again.
I don't know what kind of device you have, but before flashing the official Firmware you should know what the latest version would be or you could lose the ability to root.

Thanks, on older version of cwm work flawlessly
And I can assure you Orlox, that the Zwoggel's method works, becouse i had the same situation. Thanks guys

hey man this is what i did to unrbick it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287236
pretty much flash a new kdz file and it should be unbricked.
I ended up flashing an older version of cwm, 5.x.x or something, u can find this option at the bottom of the cwm menu

LG P925G ICS Release Upgrade

Hi, it appears that LG has released ICS for the P925G. Has anyone been able to update. How I found out is I did a phone recovery and at the end it asked to click on continue to update to ICS, unfortunately I keep hetting an error that it lost connection to the phone. Can anyone try and let me know if they were successfull ?

Then why is it giving me the option to upgrade ?

Probably the update script is changed in order to provide ICS upgrade (when available) but the server right now has no ICS in its repository (unless they use a secondary procedure which i highly doubt).

The things is it went all the way to the end preparing the installation and just when it is about to install it lost connection to the phone.
Anyway, Great Job on Porting ICS for all of us to use, I appreciate your time and talent and hope that will not let any inconsiderate ingrate make you give up on us all.
THANK YOU.

Thank you for your nice words.

Hi,
Have you updated the LG PC SUITE to the ICS VERSION?
The earlier version did not support ICS. Please try after updating the LG PC SUITE version. Maybe we have something here!!

i tried installing the new pc suite and it said my device is not supported.. i tried with the update tool again and at the end of the process before it would download anything it said my phone is up to date.. so i guess no official ics update for p925g yet..

@voybanm what did you start with n her phone? I tried it with 18a and it did not work fr me. If you got the time for a fellow o-towner could you put the path you took.
I was able to do the upgrade! But lost my imei everytime, but I'm coming from v21e n promethius

Do you need root at all for the imei recovery or the ICS update directly from lg?

Hello everyone i sent a email to lg asking about the update this was the response i got yesterday:
"The original upgrade announcement was a general statement issued from headquarters. Each country was responsible for evaluating its product line to determine an upgrade schedule based on the individual market needs. As such, each smartphone is reviewed on a case-by-case, and country-by-country basis to plan and roll out OS upgrades.
Based on this evaluation and LG’s renewed focus on innovation, the Optimus LTE will receive the ICS upgrade in late summer. All LG smartphones released in 2012 come readily available with ICS OS, including the LG Optimus L7 and Optimus L5."
Well im kinda disappointed..

So according to them there are 196-200 countries in the whole world and only Korea offers the ICS upgrade.

Why not all the thrill/ O3D owners go on Lgs facebook, and spam them saying
"ICS FOR P920/5"

Already done plenty of times in the past..

[Q] Going back to 2.1 or 2.2

Hello.
Yesterday i went from 2.2 to pacman custom rom. Phone got jammed up really badly, half things didnt work, including wifi, mobile network etc.

Now, my wife is pregnant and getting a kid any day now and i need to get my phone fixed. After a few hours scrolling on the webs and site, i coudnt find any info, if its possible for me to get back on a stock 2.1 or 2.2 from this custom rom. I need to be reachable for when she gotta give birth >.<
Please help me anyone.

First off all can i say congratulations is it your first? If so welcome to parenthood
i think the V30.kdz thats going around is the american ics for p920 i could be wrong. If you are american you can grab it and flash it using the kdz update method there is also a v28b.kdz which is the Europe version. Theres is also xbsall's bin file which is pre-rooted 28B (not sure if the v30B has a bin yet) using the bin method all guides are on the forum . Either flashing one will put you on stock LG ICS and will be reachable with the benefits of of ics.

Serious performance problems and confusion about ROMs

Hi there!
I have some problems with my P920 and I don't really know, what to do. I started with stock Android 2.3.5. I rooted the phone, installed CWM5 and JellyBam. This ROM was extremely laggy/buggy, so I installed CM10.1 (+Bootloader), which ran really smooth. As I wanted to have the 3D capability, I installed the stock ICS ROM, which was extremely laggy, too. Now I downloaded XBSA ICS V8 and installed this kernel. I was happy to get a good performance, but 3D, too. Now the phone still is extremely laggy. I guess, I did one wrong thing, that makes all the ROMs run really bad. Do you have any suggestions?
Second, I would like to get some hints, which 3D-ROM is the fastest in games. I would prefer JB ROMs before ICS, but would also accept missing features, as I e.g. don't need mobile internet connection, tethering, bluetooth.
I hope, you are willing and able to give me one or two advices
Thanks in advance!
OdlG

I installed stock ICS and XBSA a few more times, but i still have those performance issues. Doesn't anyone have a clue?

One thing is certain: If you want 3D capabilities, you'll have to stick to android 4.0.4
About the performance issues, I'm on stock ics rom (v30a) and Acura's last Kernel (subito v2) and everything is really smooth.
Maybe you should try a clean install of stock ics, i mean flashing the v30a or v30b kdz file. That should clean up any errors/bugs that you currently have.
Also, you can try Acura´s kernel. This one that I'm using has one small bug, the conversation volume during calls is a little low, but everything runs really smooth, just perfect. I can even afford to reduce the maximum cpu speed to 900 MHz, without feeling the phone slower.
One other thing, I'm using Atom Launcher (the one used by xbsall's custom roms), and it's also lighter and smoother than the stock lg launcher.

Thanks for the reply
Where can I download the v30b KDZ? I only have a prerooted v30a ZIP. Until now I couldn't use KDZ files as my phone isn't recognised under win8 although I installed all the drivers as mentioned in the XBSA-Noobs-Guide.

Use LG Mobile Support Tool and update to latest v30a rom(EU) or v30b(USA).
After that use OS_Hackings AIO tool and flash ics bootloaders and custom recovery.
After that root and you're done.
There are many tuts on this forum to follow..
Edit:
Use this tool:

If you live in Europe, you should flash the V30A kdz.
Download it from here:
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=2
If your country has a v30a kdz, download it. If not, download "Europe Open".
Use V30B only if you live in USA or in other american country.

I downloaded the EU open v30a.kdz (germany has none?! ). I started the FlashTool, which installed the USB driver and downloaded the official v21e.kdz. But my PC always gets a bluescreen when the phone boots into fasttboot mode.
Is there a way to flash my v30A.kdz by hand?

Don't do that, that would flash 21e (gingerbread).
There's somewhere in the forum a offline installer for kdzs that will allow you to flash the v30a (ics).
I don't have the link here, search it in forum.

I got a new SIM-card today (first time mobile Internet for me). I am able to call my friends (1&1 Germany), but I can't get the mobile Internet to work properly. Is this caused by the baseband or by settings? (enabled everything about mobile data/roaming)

I've done it a few times myself, with succes, and I think this is the way I've managed it.
*This asumes you've installed
Follow this on the official LG site: http://www.lg.com/uk/support-mobile/lg-LGP920 , and go to the tab "software update".
But instead of just updating your phone do this: Click on User/Support (above) then emergency mode, insert your IMEI and click on check

?
It didn't work i'm afraid. What's really odd is that the phone is on froyo 2.2.2 and the OTA update from the phone says there's no update available. Yet the lg update tool tells me an update is available yet after it has downloaded and about to 'install' it stops and says that the update cannot continue because a 'fatal error' has occured ?
Very odd. I'm guessing the orange bloatware is the problem. I HATE orange !
Edit. Ok, i just installed all the flashing tools to my pc (win 7) But when i open flash tool a window appears saying 'lg usb/parallel key is not detected. i'm also asked for a password and id ?

Funnily enough i tried your method first. The flashtool kept asking for an id and password so i could not continue. Where do i find the id and password ? that was with flashtool 1.1 running on win 7

Copy the indicated file over the original as instructed or use 1.2 if you want. You also have to run the installer before using it...It might be a good idea to run it in xp sp3 compatibility mode.

dll
The link for downloading the p920 .dll file is broken. Is it available anywhere else ?

Thanks for telling me, I'll repost it...
In the mean time you could try this. It's not my link, though

Thanks drastic00. I've downloaded the link :good:

not working
I've now tried all methods and nothing works. The furthest i have got so is to hit the yellow start button on the flash tool, but the port does not become ready. I have followed all instructions to the letter.

Recheck step 1 details carefully. Be sure antivirus and Defender are off when downloading and decompressing. It won't start until drivers are installed correctly.
You should see the devices in device manager with no 'blinking' of the omap device, and LG CDMA USB SERIAL, on which you change the port number to 41. Then you are ready to flash.
That part is fiddly.
