[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 :
h**p://support.videotron.com/residential/mobile/devices/lg-optimus-2x
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:

"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] 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.

Install P500 ROM on T-mobile P509

Can I install any ROM made for P500 on my T-mobile T509? My understanding is P500 has new basebands while P509 has old one.
What if I flash the new basebands v20 on my P509, which is currently having old bb v10. Can i install any P500 ROM on it?
Thanks.

If you want to flash P500 roms on your P509, you will need to flash this file as well:

Thanks. I think this is the opposite way from what I was talking about. I believe this flash replaces the new bb with the old one to make the ROM work. The one I was asking is to upgrade old bb to new one.

You don't need to change the baseband if you don't want to. Just flash the old baseband fix right after the ROM, before rebooting. I've been doing this for years with my p509 with awesome results. I figure why screw around with the baseband change when this combo had worked so well for me and takes only a few extra minutes.
Btw...the old baseband fix doesn't change your baseband it only makes the new baseband ROMs work with a phone running the old baseband.
Swyped from my P509 on Tmobile.
With Swype and Flash, why would anyone choose the iPhone?

Good to know. So that means I could flash any P500 ROM on my P509 and then apply the bb fix on it. Am I right? Thanks.

I have a tmobile P509 as well. I read that the new baseband doesn't have all of tmobile's frequencies on it so I want to stay on the old one. So can I install the latest cm7 on this and then flash the old baseband fix and still be able to access all the frequencies/towers and have everything work?
Also, if I wanted to flash a new kernal on the cm7 rom I would need a .35 kernel correct?

Yes to the first question. That's what I do I think the kernel is a .32 kernel, but I'm not 100% sure. CM7.2, atleast the version I'm running, already has overclocking ,etc. it that's what you're looking to do with the kernel.

Advice needed ..

Hi, Sorry for reliving an old thread.
I have a T-mobile P509 that is running Froyo, rooted -and nothing else done to it.
I read some threads which have complicated sequence of steps to get the P509 to use new versions of Android.
Until now, this thread appears to have a shorter path, and still be able to use any P500 ROMs, I assume.
My apologies if this seems like I'm not too familiar, hope can correct/add anything I missed. I assume these are the correct steps:
1. Take the micro sd card and put it in an SD adapter connected to your PC.
2. Next, in the P500 ROMs section of this forum find a ROM that is suitable; say file is a ZIP file- FRG83.zip, download it to the PC and then copy it to the SD card.
3. Put your SD card back into the phone. Then go to the recovery menu. Volume_Up+home+power hold until the recovery menu pops up.
4. Then wipe the data, then install zip from SD card, choose the FRG83.ZIP file that you just downloaded and let it do its thing
5. Then reboot, go to recovery again and then install zip (the fix posted by sweetnsour on Dec 26th on this thread). Basically, the final step is that fix file, i.e ZIP file downloaded.
Are the steps correct? I am sorry, I am still reading and taking notes to get the order/sequence and any files ready before I take action.
Thanks any advice and help.

Which is the the best ROM with Full 3D support?

Hi guys.
I'm using stock ROMs (V21E + Stock Android 2.3.5) in my P920 for the past 3 months now, but I'm curious about Android 4 ROMs, and also about faster/less battery consuming ROMs and Kernels.
What combination of ROM + Kernel do you recommend?
I would like to keep the 3D possibilities of the phone (camera, gallery, video playback), if possible.
Thanks.

Although defcomg was right, you should posted it in general sectionç a ROM with full 3D capabilities is just up to GingerBread, and with some difficulties in flashing the ROM, the ICS ROM ported by XBSALL.
The cyanogenmod ROMs are not with 3d capabilities and some of them have no working HDMI or other problems. So it's up to you.

Sorry about the wrong section, I would change it if I could.
I tried to install xbsall's ICS ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956347) this weekend, but couldn't.
I followed marti701's tutorial for installing BIN ROMs (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1244490), but failed.
My computer kept recognizing/unrecognizing omap4 device and I had a hard time installing it's driver (had to download it from another site and install it manually, it wouldn't install from windows update).
Also the "LGE CDMA USB SERIAL PORT" device wasn't installed in my computer, so I couldn't change the COM port to 41 as required.
Despite it I proceed with the tutorial, but LGFlashTool didn't install anyting, of course.

bensmokie, those were the tutorials I followed.
I've installed kdz basebands/roms and kernels before without any problem, but those bin roms are a problem for me. Maybe the reason is Win7 64 bits in my computer.
Maybe I will try again next weekend, this is my daily use phone and I can't afford to mess with it during work days.
Thank you.

Download the BOOT V 21E the bin file and the Fls file flash both of them in lg flash tool or smart flash when you are done, let phone start and lets see if it has signal. IMO you should have . after that try to flash xbsall's ported rom i think you should be good to go. if does not work on LG flash too try smart flash well i prefer Lg flash tool because it saved my butt many time
Good luck!!!
PS don't forget to change your COM port to 41.

Sorry bensmokie, I did some more reading and tried a few more times, and I managed to flash rom correctly, it´s working.
The thing is I don't have network signal for now, I,m trying to solve it at this time.

And use defcomg's modded LGcontacts3 and message plus profiles to solve the 80 characters bug in SMS.

The 4 softkeys problem is solvable with new kernel, right?

What are ROMs?

Hey, I am new to android development, and I was wondering if someone can give a simple and detailed explanation of a ROMs (for phones), like why you would use one and what some of the popular ones are.
Also if you could just give me a super simple explanation of how to use them, like download onto computer, install flashing program, etc.
All help appreciated!

Rom means your phone's android system.. (eg - you install windows to your computer using windows setup. You can install android using rom (framework)
Have you a Samsung device. You can install rom to your Samsung device easily. You can download compatible rom to your device in sammobile site. Then download odin software for pc. You can install the framewok through odin

More features
Although custom ROMs has more bugs, but they are great (I use AEX for example) every ROM has its own features at some point
