[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Wind didn't lie to you. The worldwide designation for this phone is 2X (regardless of P990 or P999 which designates which baseband chip the phone has). T-Mobile had them add a "G" to it so it could be a continuation of the "T-Mobile G" line of phones (i.e., G1, G2, G2X). The G2X is branded "T-Mobile". The Wind version is branded "LG". If you had gone into settings, about phone you would have seen that it was showing as "LG-P999". That would have told you it was not the same as an "LG-P990". Before flashing any phone you should always perform due diligence and be certain you are flashing the correct rom for your device. Hopefully soon there will be a solution to this apparent dilemma. Blame T-Mobile if you must blame someone, but don't blame Wind. TMO would probably sue them if they dared use the "G" in front of any phone designation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gypsy214:
so if someone flash an 2x rom into the g2x it will change the baseband. but this method will flash the ota gb and it will install the correct baseband?

so wanted to make sure cause there are other threats besides xda and a lot of people are having problems.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
It doesn't flash a baseband, but it will fix your phone if stuck on s/w screen.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AkiraQc:
I Don't understand, I have LG logo on front and google stamp on the Back.

But under the cover it's written, LG-P999DW

Do i have a G2x or O2x...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rehkhan97:
i thought there was no difference between g2x and optimus
[T-Mobile LG G2x] NrikeCalderon:
You have the G2x. The framework is different for both phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
You definitely have a G2X equivalent (LG-P999), not the O2X (LG-P990). Do NOT flash your phone with anything for the O2X because it will very badly mess up your phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Using G2X and O2X is not the proper way to refer to these devices. There are three variants made by LG. One is the P999 and is known as the G2X for TMO USA only and as 2X in Canada. The P990 is the 2X device for the rest of the world except Korea, who have the SU660. People should stop referring to G2X and O2X and refer to P990, P999 and SU660 to avoid confusion and flashing the wrong rom. You have a P999 device, commonly referred to as the G2X on this forum.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] asuradaMobile:
I cant find the latest miui 1.12.2 for g2x but there is one for o2x so i guess i shouldnt do it...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jeasme:
I read this thread after i flashed o2x rom to my G2x :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
If you just flashed a rom you might be ok if it did not flash the baseband, but your partitions might be all screwed up. Try flashing a G2X rom and see if it fixes it. If not, then search for the thread for KDZ restore and follow that method. As long as you did not flash an O2X baseband to your device it should be ok. If you used Smartflash and flashed a baseband the KDZ method should still be able to fix it. Always check model number before flashing, not name. There are three versions of the hardware; P990, P999 and SU660. All have different roms.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jeasme:
Yeah I learned so many things about G2x but can't solve the problem still.

My device only opens in Recovery Mode.(Or plugging device while pressing vol + -)

Cause of that I can't use smartflash.Also tried flash kzd using KDZ_FW_UPD.exe but didn't work.

If you have some time, can you please help me with this?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1382753
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
YOU CANNOT USE SMARTFLASH! That is for P990 (O2X) devices only and will damage your baseband.

Go search for the thread on unbricking the device using the KDZ method. You also need to have the LG Updater installed as KDZ invokes the updater to do the actual flashing. Go find the threads and read. It is all very clearly explained.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] panowolf:
No matter how much I read up on this G2x, i am still amazed at how many bugs and problems you can run into when it comes to custom ROM's.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
All the Android phones are like this. The custom roms are almost always problematic as the devs don't have driver source code and such. So I prefer to stick with either stock roms or roms based on stock roms and just modified from stock. CM7 and others like that are compiled from AOSP or another source tree, and without proprietary driver source they cannot recompile the drivers for their kernel as the manufacturers do so problems can, and often do, result.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] panowolf:
Yep, and I love CM7 and wish I could use it on this g2x and not have the problems. For now though II just wish I could get xda app to upload my screenshots.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chris.wueste:
Agreed

I couldn't agree with you more. CM7 is far too buggy for daily use IMO.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jetbruceli:
I think you guys are wrong, I have been using nightly 201 with cm kernal and I have no issues whatsoever. The battery life is better and there are more options than any stock based.

I have tried them all and really you should give the latest nightly or eagleblood 2.5 a chance.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kesara:
Have to agree with "jetbruceli" currently using the Kang @ [KANG] CyanogenMod Nightly Build (Since the bot is down)

... and it is great! :cool:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
+1 faux d/s .4.7. kernel is the best it's ever been and makes the latest nightly the best rom i've used!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] acuraxl:
Same Here I was on nightly 201, didnt have any issues. I recently just started to build KANG myself seems to work without any issues for the past few days.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shahzad.hafeez:
If your phone says P999DW then most probably its a G-2X. You can find it at the back of the label after removing the battery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
"most probably", definitely.

Unrooting G2x problem

My wireless is no longer working for the G2x, I bought from TMobile in May 2011 . . . . so, before I send it for repair, I need to unroot it. I went through all the steps, but when I got to using SOC and click unroot, it stops at "searching for device" then the application "stops responding" . . . . what am I doing wrong, please help

p.s. I already tried reading all the other threads concerning this, but didn't find a solution.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mansa_noob:
Open the battery cover and see inside. g2x is P999 whereas o2x is P990.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Hephzibah:
The LG Optimus 2x is a P990 the G2x is a P999. Look in menu->settings->about phone->model number.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
That is a misnomer. You cannot go by 2X or G2X designation. As I have said many tines before, "G2X" is a proprietary name for T-Mobile USA only. It is how T-Mobile has designated their version in the "G" Android line. Nobody else in the world can call their 2X a G2X. Therefore, you must go by model number designation only. In some countries the 2X is a P990, in some countries it is a P999 and in other countries, such as Canada, it can be both.

P990 - most 2X models sold around the world but there are exceptions

P999 - T-Mobile G2X, Wind Canada and Videotron Canada 2X.

In Canada it is especially confusing because Wind and Videotron sell the P999 as the Optimus 2X, while Fido Canada sells the P990 as the 2X. So as you see going by model name is meaningless. You must use the model number under the battery label to ensure which version you have. Flashing the wrong firmware made for the other model can lead to disastrous results.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Hasooboy:
I have optimus 2X videotorn version but under the battery its says P960 and in about phone it says p999 :eek: what should i do

Software version: LG-P999-AVC-V11f

Baseband: M6600A-SCAUTNZ-2.0.9720T 1(May 18 2011) and so on

How to double check it
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
If your phone is working and in about phone it says P999 that means it has the P999 firmware, so it is a P999. A P960 is an Optimus Net, which is a smaller device like an Optimus One, but a newer version. If the phone is working consider it a P999 and treat it as such, and consider the label a mislabeling inside the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Hasooboy:
Sorry i mean beneath the battery cover it says p990 and in about phone it says p999, and i have checked the phone provided by videoton is p999. My back cover is also brownish not black in colour. Also it doesn't have fm radio in it :S
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Is it the stock firmware that came with the phone, or did you flash it after you got it. Videotron sells the P999, not the P990. The only carrier in Canada that sells the P990 version of the phone is Fido.

Does your phone get a cell signal and does the data work?

Does your IMEI number begin with a "0" or a "3"?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Hasooboy:
Is it possible that wrong rom of p999 videotorn has been port on the p990, i mean how is that the label is miss leading or pasted with wrong description :S
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Hasooboy:
Yes its comes with stock condition i haven't flash any thing in it. My IMEI number starts with 0
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
If it is a stock rom, you have a signal and get data and your IMEI begins with a "0" then you have a P999. If the label under the battery says P990 that is not correct in your case. The IMEI on a P990 would begin with a "3".

To be more specific on the IMEI, I would go as far as guessing the first six digits are "012766". That is what a Videotron P999 IMEI would look like followed by nine more digits.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Hasooboy:
Yes you are absolutely right my IMEI start with 0 and first digits are 012571 but instead of 66 it has 00

Looks like you can still flash via nvflash.

Nvflasher for ClockworkMod: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1056847

Go there and start from scratch. You'll then have to use CWM to flash a ROM from the looks of it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MrBriggs:
I tried that but I can't go past this, when I click on the OneClick app:

Initially I didn't have to install the Nvidia NvFlash APX driver, it didn't complain about missing drivers. I then uninstalled my "NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices" and installed specifically from the file I downloaded... still, same error.

Ugh, can't believe I made this terrible mistake of flashing a p990 rom on my p999.

[General Questions and Answers] Andrewawright:
Hi guys,

I have a Desire which I am more than happy with however after getting the low storage message I decided to change to a more minimalist ROM - opting for the Oxygen Gingerbread (2.0.1).

At first I was very impressed with it's minimalism and went a good week or so without any major faults. However, this has changed and I've had enough of the small niggling problems - touch screen not responding, randomly rebooting and getting stuck in a boot loop only curable by pulling the battery, etc.

From what I can gather its HTC Sense takes up a lot of internal memory on the Android software which brings me onto the area of which I'm after some help.

I know the Desire and the Nexus are virtually the same piece of kit, however the Nexus is shipped, obviously, HTC Sense free. Is it possible to flash a stock Nexus ROM onto my Desire? If not, can I relosd tthe stock ROM that came with my phone but remove HTC Sense and all related apps such as Footprints, etc?
[General Questions and Answers] levenum:
You should not try flashing stock Nexus ROM on a Desire.

Even a minute difference between devices could cause a problem, and they do have different bootloaders.

(plus there is a minor hardware difference - Nexus one has a trackball while the desire has a pad)

Note, that removing apps from stock ROM will not increase your storage capacity by it self.

Those apps are installed on system partition which is mounted write only by default and is not counted as available storage space.

There would be a need for a special ROM package that resizes partitions.

One peace of advice I can give you, is to look for odex'd ROMs.

And odex, is a file which contains an Android application in ready to run state.

Usualy, when you install an app, the binary is extracted from the apk file (the package the app comes in) processed and placed in the cache.

So it takes up additional storage space.

Manufacturers like HTC ship their release ROMs with the applications preprocessed, so the odex files resides on the system partition and so the built in apps do not take up any space in cache.

In my experience, on a Desire the difference between an odex and unodexed ROM containing same apps can result in around 40MB of storage.
[General Questions and Answers] Andrewawright:
Ok great! Thanks for the advice, I've done some reading up about odex'd ROMs and have a much better understanding now.

Cheers again.

Darn it. Im in South Africa, and just received my xoom wifi. and find out that we dont have access to paid apps, and because there is no carrier associated with the wifi xoom, i cant even spoof a US carrier with market enabler.

i figured that it must have something to do with the fact that my IP address indicates im in South Africa.

so i need help in Spoofing my IP address.

i have found an app which i havent tested that can make android connect through a proxy. i just need a proxy....

hope it works
[Xoom General] radzish:
hi,

I have the same problem. Can you tell me what is the app you mentioned?
[Xoom General] DroidHam:
What about Amazon app store?
[Xoom General] lt iibad:
the app is called proxy settings

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.credil.proxysettings&feature=search_result

I managed to get the proxies working as per this list http://hidemyass.com/proxy-list/search-278

I can now see paid apps but can't download apps even the free ones. I guess its the choice of proxy. I need a fairly robust one.
[Xoom General] jpraider75:
Hi, i live in Costa Rica and had the same problems with the market, this tip someone posted on amazon worked for the free apps , paid apps are still a problem.

"TURN OFF WEBSITE LOCATION

For those of us who are in another country or in a US Territory. Certain apps (in fact the majority of them) in the Android market will not allow you to download. You get a message such as "Cannot be donwloaded due to carrier" or something to that affect. What you have to do is go into the browser and in the right corner click the internet icon (looks like a piece of paper). Select internet settings and look for location settings. TURN LOCATION OFF. That is all you have to do. Then go back into the App store and begin your download. You can also do this for google books so it will work."

Hope it helps....
[Xoom General] lt iibad:
wish it had worked for me. I removed all location services in the browser and the system and it still magically found me to be in south africa.

Guess its back to finding a robust proxy

[Captivate General] OBatRFan:
Just wondering why my phone copies files so slowly. Using my iPod as a flash drive, I can copy a 250+ mb file over in seconds. On my Captivate, transferring a ROM.zip file (around 150 mb) takes at least five minutes. Is this normal?
[Captivate General] crystalhand:
5 mins is a lot I can do it in 10-15 seconds usually. It could depend on a lot of things what usb port is being used, the amount of files on the device, the devices write speed.

the ipod probably has about the same write speed. I highly doubt it is much over 30 mbs so it is probably another factor
