Is there any way to get ahold of the KDZ stock firmware for the American LG -P509 T-Mobile version? Personally I don't care about whether my phone claims it's a European P500 or an American P509, but should I ever need to return the phone to T-Mobile they might have an issue with it...
I used a tool I found in another thread that is supposed to use your phone's model and serial number to download the proper firmware, but once again it identified my phone as a P500 and downloaded a European firmware. The thing is, I'm considering trading my phones in for something with a hard keyboard (Probably the HTC G2) and I obviously can't turn the phones back in to T-Mobile with custom firmwares and recoveries on them.
I do still have nandroid backups of the original firmware from before my first flash about 6 months ago. If I were to nandroid flash back to stock, is it possible to remove the Recovery and then unroot the phone? I'm sure this has been covered adnauseum elsewhere, but I haven't found anything specific to the LG P509-T.
I think you can use google to find/download 10l firmware. If not when I get home I will post a download for the us p509 firmware.

Thanks, you're awesome. I've been tearing up the internet trying to find the firmware I need, but so far no luck. I suppose I could have flashed back to stock and got the build name and used that as a starting point for my search.
still looking
Here's a link to v10s. It's the most recent 2.2.2

This will bring you back to Tmos stock recovery, baseband, firmware, etc. Good as new.

Hi Lawful123, it seems the links that exist everywhere on this forum for v10L US P509 firmware have been changed by LG. Any help you could give on getting me the firmware would be a huge, huge help. I've spent a couple of days searching with my p509 holding down paper in the meantime.

Is there any reason why v10S won't work? It's the latest 2.2.2 release from US T-Mobile for the P509.
If you're bricked the links I provided above will get you going.
Thanks Turducken. It works perfectly. I really appreciate your help.

Hello dev,
For those with Canadian version of 6210, can someone upload a rooted 6201XXLB2 rom? I I notice the 6210 version in the dev does not contain the XXLB2 rom.
Thanks.
Cheers everyone especially to the amazing dev
If anyone can help with this it would be really appreciated. Guess who upgraded to the ICS Rom, found out that my wifi was unworkable, and now had to load the "regular North American Retail Rom with the Peel app etc that I cant use

I don't think the XXLB2 is anywhere to be found around here. You might just have to stick with the XXLPL release until the XXLB2 is uploaded by someone or is released. I honestly don't know if its even released. I just looked for it and couldn't find it anywhere.
I'm in the same situation I search for the LB rom for P6210 but for LA3 just uninstall PEEL soft with titanium backup

Thank you very much anyway, The Canadian version P6210 has the XXLB2. which means it has been released. Will I have no problem with the XXLPL? I am satisfied with this rom but needs to change some few things. I am just being cautious if something happens.
I did a nandroid backup of the original unmodified LB2 in clockworkmod, before I started changing settings and installing apps.
You need to have garyd9's "CWM-based Recovery v5.x.x.x" installed in order to restore this nandroid backup:
garyd9's "CWM-based Recovery v5.x.x.x" post
I notice someone posted a newer version of CWM v6 - from what I understand, the newer CWM version is not compatible with the v5 backups.
If anyone finds this useful please reply and let me know. I also need recommendation on upload sites which are easy to use (ie. no registration etc.) and won't kill the upload quickly.
Slim_thumb,
Sorry, I was out for quite some time. Thank you for posting the link. It helped me a lot. I presummed that you have tried some ICS, what could be the best ICS replacement to our XXLB2 for the moment while waiting for our upgrade turn?

LB2 is the HC firmware specific to the GT7+ sold in Canada. It is not ICS. We have not received the OTA ICS update yet.
XXXLB2 firmware
If anyone has the XXLB2 firmware, could you please post it up. I would like to go back to stock for when ICS is released. Thank you in advance.

Oh wait, but I thought the current ICS firmwares don't work for the LB2 Canadian version because of the wifi?
Did you backup your current HC firmware before flashing or did you just risk it?

CromDubh,
I followed the other thread of SrumerJohn in Adnroid Development and installed that ICS firmware. I am not happy about the performance of that firmware.
I am glad you find the latest US firmware satisfactory. Did you use the temporary CWM method to root this US firmware, followed by installing permanent CWM?
I did try the original UK ICS firmware but unfortunately not very extensively..(no wifi being a bit of a deal breaker for me)....but I'm pretty happy with North American version.
As for rooting, I used the same rooting method as was used for the older ICS without a problem. I didnt install permanent CWM, just the the temp, but I'm sure I'll end up with the permanent one when its time to start playing with JB

The ICS version is slightly faster and more fluid than HC in terms of screen transition and opening apps, but my biggest problem is the Flash video performance. Interestingly, I had no wifi problem with the UK ICS version (this problem must be router-related).
I have problem with Flash video playing in the browser in both firmware versions. Not all video sites are affected equally - eg. Youtube 1080p does not play smoothly (used to play smoothly in original HC); Vimeo HD completely stutters (used to play smoothly in original HC).
Adobe apparently stopped supporting Flash and it disappears from Google Play store. I tried several older versions of Flash 11 (and even 10) posted as .apk (eg. at apktop), but none of them work smoothly (some of them even force close the browser) - and yes I did get the correct ICS version of Flash player.
I use Dolphin browser, and I tried the Flash video with the stock browser but the result is the same. Therefore it has nothing to do with the browser.
I have since gone back to my original HC through nandroid backup.
P.S. I followed StrumerJohn's guide to flash permanent CWM onto the US ICS version, and it works. However, at your own risk always.
I've managed to successfully install 4.4.2 onto Rogers bell SaskTel and telus Note 3. Modem and CSC from the latest Canadians Carrier and flashed with Odin 3.09 along with TelCel (Mexican) 4.4.2 files below. Download link file in the attached file.
Follow the instructions and have a break for kit Kat.
Also good news is if you don't like to be on 4.4.2 and want to go back you can go back from the 4.4.2 to 4.3 again by just downloading the Carrier specific official Odin flash ROM. This ROM is down gradable.
Good luck all Canadians....

So essentially this gives you stock kitkat with 4.3 modem? Does it wipe data? Trigger Knox?

Any news for official update over OTA ?
Hi,
Has anyone received update notification via OTA or Kies for 4.4 ?
Mostly all the model have received the update so far, looks like Canadian carries are slower then the rest to push the update.
Please update.

hello i had a question
i has to install the rom from telus, becaouse if i install another, i lost the LTE capability, and i dont know why, i tried to install this rom(telcel) and i had two problems, lost of the lte capability and i was unable to activate by this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2489766), and the second problem was the network lock, so i can use on my network, anybody can help me????
I installed this sucessfully on my SM-N900W8, but with problems
Hi everyone, I installed this method on my SM-N900W8 and have successfully updated to 4.4.2 KitKat, but there were some problems:
1- My LTE doesn't work, so I've had to put up with slow data
2- My External SDHC card (64GB Sandisk) wasn't compatible for files such as music, videos, etc.
I installed 4.4.2 right when this thread was posted about a month ago and figured that since the official KitKat update was coming soon, I didn't think I'd have to put up with it for that long, but it's been a while and still we have no KitKat.
I also read that once you flash 4.4 KitKat, you cannot go back to 4.3, is that true with this method, since the 4.3 Kernel is still the same?
I would really appreciate if someone could help me out here!
(In the meantime, I'm going to try my luck with this new 4.4.2 custom ROM that was released for the SM-N900W8: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2648843) (I believe shant0nu here in this thread authored this one!)
p.s. My carrier is Telus, if that matters at all.

You can downgrade back to 4.3 if you flashed the right files. Read the guide here.
Hey Guys,
yesterday I needed to unbrick my device. I took the uploaded stock from this thread . It's an US stock 4.2.2 firmware but I got a huge update via Kies after flashing. And now guess! Yeah I'm on absolutely official KitKat 4.4.2 . I'm from germany and tested one another right before matching to my location, just to check but it's not available here (yet).
Yeah Its out for a while
@NeoPreacher & @LegendSmoker
It is true KK is an old story. But still I find interesting what NeoPreacher is saying.
One he may be telling others that even when you could be in a region without an update yet that if you install a US/Canada version you can get the Kies upgrade. Now this is not that important to me.
But I am understanding that when he said "I needed to unbrick my device" that he has some sort of a MOD Rom! Is this true? So then I find interesting that by uploading the file he mention he got Kies to upgrade him. I was in the confusion that once you mod your firmware you could not get OTA nor Kies to upgrade you. So @neopreache could you confirmed that you had tested any of the posted Roms here or had Custom Recovery or Roorted your device previous of recovering with kies? Thanks
Yes I tested some other stuff posted in dev section. But I did something very wrong so I needed Odin to unbrick.I own my tab just for a few days, so it was more a playing around than knowing what to do.I often read about an unstable 4.2.2 stock, so I thought it might be interesting for people in regions out of north America to see that there is another possibility to stay on official stock and get an update for their machines.
Hello
I was wondering if the Roms available on SamMobile were really safe and clean? Given they're not working FOR Samsung, where do they get those?
I'm wondering because I noticed there was a link that came with my phone originally that wasn't there when I restored a ROM I took from SamMobile.

Nothing important really but there was a link to my carrier's mobile site and SamMobile listed the ROM with the name of my carrier. So I thought it had been modified. But maybe it's just because it's the same version as the one my carrier offers but doesn't come FROM my carrier?

Not official, but safe. They make their money by subscription services for "premium" download privileges. Maybe ads too, but I use adblock, so I wouldn't see them.
Yes me too. But I do wonder where they get all those ROM since Samsung doesn't give the out.

You can't do stock updates on rooted devices with custom ROMs and custom recovery.
You have to remove root, you also need to have an UNMODIFIED system partition and you need stock recovery.
If you're using a custom ROM(your note 7 ROM is a ported stock custom ROM) then that means you are rooted and probably have custom recovery which means you need to remove root and undo any system modifications that were done in the custom ROM(including any special themes and Xposed) then flash stock recovery instead of custom recovery.
Then you might be able to do the updates but the system will be looking for your device to have straight stock with no modification, if there is any modification left behind then the update won't work.

Hi!
Thank you for your message.
Here is the list of things I did to my poor note 3 :
- rooted
- installed Darkera's note 7 rom, custom recovery and kernel downloaded also from Darkera
- unrooted with supersu
- using Odin3 I installed kitkat 4.4.2 which I downloaded from sammobile (I was told this process gonna whipe away everything - custom rom, custom recovery and kernel)
- downloaded supersu to make sure root is gone
Because of sammobile's server maintenance happening this weekend I used kitkat file I downloaded from sammobile quite some time ago (N9005XXUEND3_N9005XEOEND2_XEO for Poland) and during flashing everything went ok. But now when I go to 'settings' and 'about device' imei, modem version, baseband version are unknown and when I try to hit 'update' I get "processing failed' message. Oh, and I'm also experiencing random reboots. I'm not sure if all this is a normal thing or perhaps I did something wrong.
I hope I didn't bore you to sleep
