hi i havent flashed roms or rooted since i lost my sensation but what would be the first step i have a done nothing to it running on 3.1 what should be my first step really anxious to change it
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] deez1234:
The first step you should do is unlocking the bootloader after you root.

First go here and follow the directions to root the device.

After you have done that, you can unlock the bootloader by going here.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stncldtex:
Do you have fastboot and recovery in the same folder? I placed mine on C:\

Try that. If so retrace your steps and let me know where you get stuck. Oh and did you load the new recovery, if not you may want to. I had the same issue then realized I was still using the Hacky recovery. Hope this helps.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] htw:
Yes are in the same folder.......

the first command is fastboot oem unlock

ok

fastboot boot recovery.img

then it disconnect from my pc and searching for mtp usb driver...

i dont even remember what i have done...erase...what???

do you have a msn to talk?? i need really help here...cant even boot to android os..

Will SetCPU allow for OCing even if the kernel isn't OC'd? Isn't that the point of the app?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Buck Shot:
def think you need a kernel/rom that supports it. if not people would be frying devices left and right
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LemurDroid:
Yeah, I just tried it. It allows you to set the max to whatever the Kernel's max is so basiccly you could underclock an OC'd kernel for battery improvments.

I would definitly like to see an OC'd kernel. The system felt much snappier in 3.0 with the OC'd kernel then in 3.1 without it.

I was just thinking about our new bootloader unlocker process. I haven't seen anything about it except on this particular thread. I guess word isn't exactly out yet about it? Besides that, I would think the forum moderators would take notice and give us our own g-slate forum now, now that we have found a way to move forward with our devices.

(I'm sorry, I see all kinds of different websites announcing the bootloader unlocker. But I still think we should get our own forum now)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Buck Shot:
ive made threads, messaged admins, tweeted xda and they havent done anything. Its just sad cause they have the power to basically make or break a device in the world of android . I see plenty of other less popular manufacturers get forums, devices months before thy come out, i just dont get it. It prob didnt sell that good but they are still selling and the device has potntial. This week you can get one for $0 !! If there was a forum here im sure the device would be more popular with more support. Im glad we have some good devs seeing that.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Gslate03:
yeah we should have a forum now, but if the admin won't give us one then the hell with it and make this thread or this forum the Gslate's development thread... It's the same thing, almost..

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Buck Shot:
I know the devs are working hard, but it sucks tto hhave to sift through 62 pages for info kernel and how to roots... if they could or if i have time today or tomorrow i will create the threads at the g slate fan forum for more organization
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] htw:
Whatever you do let us know...i have the feeling that many owners havent registered yet for this reason...so may be our little community gets larger tha it is...i am sure many are reading and waiting to be something on this !!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chevy383surfing:
I think we may have a few watching our thread, but I also think a lot of people probably thought the g-slate was a dead end because LG didn't want us to hack the device at all. I know a few people just sold their g-slate because of that, and bought another tablet from another company. I think some people might be gnawing their teeth because they did get rid of their slate and now we finally, actually did unlock it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] drtechy:
There is some good info on http://www.g-slatefans.com/. They have a noob guide on there too. Its not a very active forum

That little bit of script does do a lot. I have actually been using it ever since we got our root. I have been using it on my Sensation before I got my G-slate. I put it on my G-slate a while back and it did work somewhat good. I am glad you mentioned it though. Now I know I am not the only one who uses it and likes it. I just didn't think anyone else would think that it actually worked so I never said anything. Plus I wasn't real sure if it was really working with the bootloader still locked at that time.

Little Problem with unlock the V900

Hello,

I have the same problem like two other users. With the V900, it probably seems to be a problem with the unlock patch ... The unlock works somehow only seems to crash the browser and then the module for the Simcard seems to be dead ... it's just a wifi ... the old and new recovery image can not be started by almost boot / boot MTP USB Driver problem .... However, I was able to patch the kernel to boot 3.1 problem .... apparently so to work a little boat ... maybe someone could behead us by the wise craft a customized version of the CWM we can start the recovery and thus import our Clockwork Backup can back?

Thank you - yes otherwise remains waiting for update from LG and this can take time;-):mad:

or a simply idea:

1.fastboot flash boot (orginal clockwork backup boot.img)

then i loaded the orginal boot.img with fastboot - the tablet starts

2.restart in fastboot mode

3.fastboot boot recovery.img (CWM)

then restore the full backup (no boot.img)

4.restart

5.Bootloader locked and V900 functionality 100% with Sim ;-)

Any Idea?

Your welcome man... But from the looks you used my very first g-slate recovery to achieve it... While it will work, you should use Dasunrule32's updated recovery which mounts the sdcard better (properly) and you can make backups (nandroid) so you can mod with a sense of security.

Hallo Jungs,

leider kann man das LGV900 nicht so leicht unbricken...wenn man ein locked Bootloader hat... bei mir ist es so das ich den unlockpatch ausprobierte...danach kam ebenfalls die meldung "display modem update fail,modem couldn't boot" das Tablet bootet zwar und es funktioniert auch alles - bis auf SIMCARD also UMTS/Edge nicht... klar denn die RADIO.IMG wurde durch den Patch ersetzt...aber das LGV900 hat kein 4G sondern nur 3G also ist der Modemtreiber falsch... das einfachste wäre die Radio.img zu flashen per fastboot - diese hat nur irgendwie keiner? Unbricken mit hilfe von nvflash geht definitiv nicht ...da der bootloader trotzdem noch locked ist.... dann kommt "0x4" fehler;-)

Dazu kommt das man CWM Recovery nicht mehr starten kann über Fastboot...quasi tut sich nichts...(egal welches Version 4.009 5.027 usw)...

Also können wir nicht Unbricken, nicht ins Recovery....

Eine Lösung wäre natürlich toll vielleicht kann uns V900 User ja helfen von den kreativen Programmierer hier im Forum?

English:

Hi guys,

unfortunately you can not unbrick the LGV900 so easy ... if you have a locked bootloader ... for me it is so I tried the unlock patch ... also came after the message "display update fail modem, modem could not boot" the tablet boots up though and it does everything - except not .. So SIMCARD UMTS / Edge . clear because the RADIO.IMG was replaced by the patch ... but it has no LGV900 4G only 3G but so is the wrong modem driver ... The simplest would be to flash the Radio.img fastboot by - this has not only somehow? Unbrick with the help of nvflash is definitely not ... because the bootloader is still locked .... Then comes "0x4" error;-)

In addition to the CWM Recovery can not start fastboot ... almost nothing to do ... (any version 4009 5027, etc.) ...

So we can not Unbrick and not to Recovery ....

One solution would be great maybe we can help even the V900 User creative programmers here in the forum?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chevy383surfing:
I never noticed. But I guess we have the V909 and V900. Different firmware I assume? Maybe that is why we are getting a few bricks popping up here and there? I am not stating anything (as fact of matter), just throwing out a few thoughts on my mind.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xxliftsupxx:
V909 and V900 differ only in the built-in modem, because the V909 is a direct T-Mobile devices with 4G. The others are with 3G modem ... that's the only difference ... then of course it depends on other stuff;-) if the modem driver is wrong (radio.img) then does the Google browser - since this is dependent on the driver ... the rest of the bricks that I had here was taken on the delete the partitions, and the wrong boot loader (confused 3.0/3.1) that is like the cell phones version with the band ...;-)

I just hope that helped us V900 users anyway ... We need a radio.img docomo from the 3.1 version ... then we can try to flash the boot almost radio.img Chiefz and can modify the Unlockpatch radio.img with the right and we can unlock the boot loader ...

yes of course we are waiting to help ... I'm not the only one;-) otherwise is just waiting for LG's 4.0 ... but that can take as I've read the ...

For me it is so - I can with the light brick if you can call it living ... because not only do I use 3G and connect via wifi hotspot with my cell phone ... the Google browser is not clear - because I use the Dolphin HD is the better
