[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
Not really sure what you mean? This is official fully functional ROM. :confused:
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] k4ce:
You will have GSM .... You just need to change the baseband for which reason you will first have to flash using the LG tool ....

Just follow the instructions on the first page and you will be fine ... need more help on how to flash ?.. check out the other thread by doktornotor ( GingerLOL 1.2)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] cupliz:
Sorry off topic..

Its because mik is from Ukraine, so if mik rom is the best, u must use Ukraine way... i thing Ukraine close with Russian...

I flash this rom on the phone, but after booting process android.settings stops, and I cant be used phone
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] bgdxv:
so is it really imposible to create an overclockable kernel for this beast?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
It is perfectly possible when the sources are released.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] frostxx:
Installed v20G via KDZ but i can't rooted it :( Please help i was use SupeOneClick,Z4Root,GingerBreak and the result always is zero.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
Maybe read the first post (again)? :rolleyes:
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Bytecode:
Yeah,me too. BTW I haven't used LGDRM to flash baseband.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] N_lover27:
hey doktornotor

can you help me add theme chooser support and power menu support(nothing else no additional theme)

or point me to a thread to get help.

I have googled but nothing that can help
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] N_lover27:
I have flashed using Russian way with my own test GB built . it works. no problem at all.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] mprou:
sometimes when i was reading doktornotor's posts i was like: "wtf is his prob?" and then slowly but surely...yes i completely feel ya lol:p
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] frostxx:
So, there is no chance for now to root v20g from that i read? Or my enliglish is too weak:P
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
Are you kidding? Do what the first post in this thread says and you will have rooted LG v20g ROM!
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] mprou:
No, at least not with an one click app
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Bytecode:
Any method to flash this ROM without having settings app FC and without using russian tool?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] yasingedik:
I searched for flashing baseband. But could not find any source for our devices.

Is there any way to flash baseband separately?? I can't get into fastboot mode.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] mprou:
well you need the baseband so..either kdz first or russian tool

why you get fcs? are you trying to tweak anything or something on cooked roms?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
The same way that is written in the first post. Uncheck everything but amss.mbn, amsshd.mbn and partition.mbn
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Bytecode:
I'm Workin' for tha openOptimus build 2.227 based on this V20G (know it's crap,but I see users very interested in this ****ty GB,so... why not making my ROM users happy? :p). Then,when an OC kernel will be out,you will be able to flash it over my ROM without hesitating.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] sucka:
how about no fade ringtone?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
Shrug; flash this (kindly backup Phone.apk beforehand). In case it does not work - tough luck, do not complain. :p
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] royskeyz:
Hey ciaox, is it you?or maybe your brother? Just wondering why you have some Q as the nobs here, your 1 of the devs right?:D:D

Edit: Oh i see so your working for your rom.:)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] mvgadagi:
Some telling it'll not work in India OS that true
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] novjean:
Thats not true... will work.. Go on.. flash it.. just awesome.. awesome speed..

Me just flashd it in last midnite....
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] sweetbinodray:
GSM is your network.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] sweetbinodray:
Not it's not like that. You can flash this rom.but problem is your network will not work. Correct me if any indian guy having working GSm on it.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] novjean:
yaa working for me.. no problms yet....
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] royskeyz:
Is it true its very slow and so much lag? Hows your impression to this rom?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] zPacKRat:
Now that is thinking ahead
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lekhwani:
I am in india and using since v20a. No problems whatsoever. But you cant expect the cm speed until sources are out.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Bytecode:
Yo forgot to add this in the noob repo,adding it now :)

Don't take this as spam. It's a regular notification ;)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
Haha, no problem.

Oh, back to your original question about the sucky baseband: what we would really need is something like write_raw_image() for the radio... so that it could be flashed from recovery.

Noone tried something like that?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] DJBhardwaj:
Do you make a baby just born yesterday, wear pants :P
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Bytecode:
I know that command,but... how could we flash the right baseband from recovery? What about the mbn file extension? I tried to decrypt amss.mbn using unyaffsmbn but no luck.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
Needs someone familiar with the low-level GSM sh*t. Way above my level. :p
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Bytecode:
All I get is

broken image file

with unyaffsmbn. No luck. Tried amss.mbn,amsshd.mbn but nothing.

Maybe did I compile it wrong? I used:

gcc -o unyaffsmbn unyaffsmbn.c

and gcc version is 4.4.3 (the one in ubuntu repos I suppose)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
Meh. Either it is crypted/otherwise mangled, or it is not yaffs at all. :D
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Bytecode:
I wish it was WDB. AFAIK LG-utils decrypts WDB files correctly. Don't remember though :D
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] borg17a:
Everything works fine.

Thanks for your How-To!
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Bytecode:
@doktornotor: I made you your 100th thanks man :)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
Haha. BTW, added powermenu to the first post so that you can mess with this more easily. :p
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] N_lover27:
Hi man Will this power menu change the default theme, notification button and battery icon?????

any screen shot. I will try to add it in my rom
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
The battery is a circular one. Otherwise, no idea; untested, I am using different ROM at the moment (see signature). :p
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] N_lover27:
Ya only circular battery and power menu.... nice one. Thanks. I will add this to my ROM
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] rockvoid:
so romania already released gingerbread?

will there be differences to e.g. ANEUBK version?

i´m sorry.........
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] onlymeipse:
Is this an official or a leaked Lg release? From which country is this from?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] alextirca:
It is official and it is from Romania, the land of Dracula :D, scary vamps:P, it can be done with KDZ or with LG update tool.:confused:
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] metalboy94:
Official, from Romania.

@thread: Since I'm sort of a noob, I have a few questions for anyone who is willing to help.

1. What app can I use to back everything up (contacts, messages, call log, apps and their data etc.)?

2. As posted in another thread, this ROM uses an older kernel. Does this mean that it will also work with Der Caveman's v2 kernel? If not, is an OC really needed under Gingerbread?

3. Can I keep drellisdee's custom recovery installed and use it for flashing?

Thanks. :o
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] alextirca:
at question 1 I think titaniu backup is the thing you are searching four:P, the rest is cancan :D
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] metalboy94:
I don't think Titanium Backup also covers contacts, messages and the call log, unless they each are saved in the data area of their respective application. :confused:
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] metalboy94:
Doesn't anyone have an answer? :(

(and now someone will definitely show up in this thread scolding me for not being patient...)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lekhwani:
Titanium backup for apps. Google sync for contacts or in native menu of contacts. For messages there are some other apps in market.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] metalboy94:
Alright, thanks a lot. I still need answers for 2 and 3 though, please...
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lekhwani:
2.This gb rom works with its own kernel only.

3. While flashing via lgmdp, uncheck recovery. Your current recovery will be retained and you can use it like you did earlier.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] andy4uall:
I don't have a PC. Is there anyway to flash in recovery mode using CWM - ROM MANAGER?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
No, sorry.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] andy4uall:
Any solution for this issue? Any idea anyone cooking rom based on this version?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Arjen:
Find someone with a pc :rolleyes:

There is no other solution...
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] naturist:
Is this rom worth to try? Hows the battery backup ?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Lawful123:
Anyone get netflix working on this room?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] rockvoid:
what about battery lifetime?

how many % per hour goes battery down when doing nothing?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] k4ce:
That depends on you really .. how many apps running in background syncing data ... what you have on (2g data/3g data/wifi) ...

My experience : 2g data on, one mail acc set to push, gmail /fb/twitter 15min update interval .... 8 hours of sleep = 12pc battery loss ...
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Redpik:
Mine works very good. 13h 31m -> 75%. No wireless, data only 1h and 30 min of gsm. Dunno, but i like it. :) I'm happy now.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] metalboy94:
Thanks for everyone posting advice, got the Bread of Ginger running on my O1 as well. Will provide feedback of my own as soon as I set all apps and settings back. :)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] naturist:
Excellent, with the official rom, or the second rooted rom ?

I am too lazy to try such method, would be nicer if we can flash the GB through recovery. Lets hope the LG release the source code soon.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] rockvoid:
stock 2.2.2 (wifi, 3g, bluetooth, etc... disabled & no extra apps installed) uses 0,5 % battery per hour for me...

i think gingerbread needs more battery than froyo...
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] zxhian:
works flawlessly on Philippine LG p500 including bluetooth calls
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] metalboy94:
So far so good, just unplugged it and used it for a few minutes on WiFi. I am totally IN LOVE with GB because equalizer apps run perfectly and produce beautiful bassy sound. <3
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] smk666:
How do I flash the second file? I successfully flashed LG-P500-v20g on factory default new p500, but I have no idea how to enter recovery mode. Program I used for the first file shows an error after selecting folder with v20g..
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
Home + Volume Down + Power. Please read the sticky threads and references there.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] smk666:
Thanks! Now I managed to do the rest on my own :) I wonder how I didn't see any stickies, and found nothing through the forum search... Sorry for that!
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] metalboy94:
I have noticed the first problem: RockPlayer FCs when attempting to play Xvid 2 MB/s files, which would play normally on Froyo. :(
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Climbatize:
Hi there!

I have a sim card probleme, maybe due to new baseband?

I come from v20a, everything was OK. I followed you intructions step by steps and now I can't make any sim card be recognized by the phone, even though I flash bask to v20a. Any suggestions? A phone without gsm is good for trash...
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] metalboy94:
Well, MoboPlayer plays them just well. Must be a problem of RockPlayer.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lekhwani:
Have you guys tried stock player. Our device is divx/xvid certified. Stock player should play it. Its on cm7 and andy's gb where we need third party players to run divx.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] metalboy94:
Yeah, I tried it already. Doesn't work, it cannot load a thumbnail for those videos, displays the length as being 0:00 and pops a "Cannot play this content" error message. Did that on Froyo as well. But at least the shorter videos on the same settings work now. :rolleyes:
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lekhwani:
You might have to register divx vod through going to about phone in settings. But i remember registration is only needed for playing some paid contents.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lekhwani:
Btw where can i get some good short clips in xvid like music videos? I currently use mp4 only doenloaded via youtube.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
I beg your pardon....
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] metalboy94:
1. Nah, it's definitely not about DivX VOD, since I didn't buy those videos... ^^;

2. Erm, your best shot is torrent, I guess. MP4 and XviD are actually quite similar as far as settings and quality go, so you may as well stick to MP4.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] metalboy94:
I like good humor when I find it.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Climbatize:
No one with the same probleme, and at best solved it?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] metalboy94:
Maybe you didn't flash the new baseband? I just followed the instructions and the phone logged on to Orange as soon as I turned it on.

@thread: Something else for the Romanians following this thread: It seems this upgrade was released with Vodafone in mind, as the only APNs you will find in Settings are Vodafone's. Furthermore, the SIM toolkit icon is labeled Vodafone in the menu.

(= Se pare ca update-ul a fost facut mai mult sau mai putin special pentru Vodafone, pentru ca singurele setari de internet existente sunt cele pentru VF, si pentru ca icon-ul pentru serviciile SIM este denumit Vodafone... cred ca telefonul a avut o surpriza de proportii in momentul in care am apasat si s-a deschis meniul Orange. :D )
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] 22VIN:
Isn't vdf the only official retailer for p500 in RO?

(parca nu-l mai are niciun operator in oferta...)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] metalboy94:
Indeed it is, but since it is also sold neverlocked by eMAG, it is not exactly fair... :/

(eMAG îl vinde fără abonament sau codare...)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Sean09:
Can anyone elaborate on what it means to flash the "russian way"? I dont want to mess it up, I have the GUI and all files ready.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] DigitalAnalog:
Here. Hope that helps. :)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Nalt:
"Russian way" means something like "you mess everything up, so it could work". :D

Guys what does it mean "LG changed it's baseband"? Wtf is that? :)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] DigitalAnalog:
If I'm not mistaken, that means that the software that lets the OS interact with the phone part of the device has been changed and that the traditional method of flashing, i.e. thru KDZ, cannot flash this new radio image correctly, hence the need for the LGMDP tool.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Sean09:
Thanks for the link!
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] DigitalAnalog:
You're welcome. Let us know how it goes.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Climbatize:
How couldn't I flash this baseband? Isn't it included in the package? Could my nv2 backup fail et so brick my GSM? This said I never had an error message during backup and restoring.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
If you get no GSM, then the flash failed to do its job. Go do it again. (Would recommend emergency mode - Return + VolUp + Power)

Does not help? Go downgrade to 2.2 via KDZ, then do it once again.

Does not help? God must hate you, sorry. :p
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Climbatize:
ROFL I'm so sorry god hates me XD

I flashed and reflashed and flash again, 2.2 KDZ, 2.3.3 20a, 2.3.3 20g, I even flashed KDZ version of 20g. When you recommand emergency mode, you mean start flashing from emergency mode? I did this too :(

I flashed about 10 times 20a and 20g, but it was 4h in the morning, so I slept 3hours before going to work, and believe me, my job does nothing to make me think about other things, I'm an Android developper XD. It makes me crazy :eek:
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] mcardielo:
I have been flashed KDZ with KDZ Updater an I have a fully functional phone with oficial GB release.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] DigitalAnalog:
Which release are you flashing?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] mcardielo:
In order to get root you need to do this at "Russian Way" and reboot after that

adb devices
adb shell
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] mcardielo:
I have flashed this one:
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] 22VIN:
No, you can do it even if you flashed with kdz; same code in adb and superoneclick after.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] DigitalAnalog:
Does this mean that the official GB release was flashable via KDZ all along?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] mcardielo:
I have my phone rooted at this way and runing TitaniumBackup in order to recover all my apps, all works great-

EDIT: I tried with SuperOneClick without success
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] mcardielo:
Yes it is.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Arjen:
Did you reboot after using SuperOneclick like it says?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] mcardielo:
Of course. I did it.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lekhwani:
What and how was your first flash of gb? Try these two things.

A. Tutorial given by snegovik.

Manual on English:

1. Download Android 2.3 [LG-P500.RU].zip, LGMDP THUNDER P500.rar and uncompress it in any folder.

2. Install msxml.msi

3. Install LG United Mobile Driver

4. Reboot Computer

5. Disable 'LGE Virtual Modem' in PC's Device Manager. (In your Windows operating system, go to Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Right click on LGE Virtual Modem and click Disable.)

6. Power off your device. Press and keep pressed "Volume up"+"Return"+"Power" and connect USB cable to phone

7. Yellow screen with text emergency mode should appeared

8. Run LGMDP THUNDER v1.5 (Operator).exe from the extracted folder (Has administrator).

9. Press "Select Port"

10. Choose your device and press "Connect"

11. In the 'Image Folder' space, browse you uncompressed Android 2.3 [LG-P500.RU].zip

12. Chose Additional Options as Erase EFS Apps.

13. Press the 'Start' button.

The firmware flashing process is now underway.

If all goes well, in 5-10 minutes the phone will be flashed with the new firmware]

B. Flash radio files given in original 20a thread via lgmdp.

If this does not help, ask for somebody else's nv2 backup.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] razvanborza:
flashing ..everything ok .. but i don't have notification bar ...?????

any sugestions ?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] N_lover27:
If you have followed all the guide correctly then you must not face any problem. and remember to flash

with LGMDP-v1.5

and then flash

from the recovery.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] razvanborza:
i did exactly what u said but nothing ....
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] N_lover27:
This is strange. Can you tell us more about the steps you followed during the flashing????

And I wonder if anyone facing this similar issue ...
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Climbatize:
Ok, I am now in a quest for a safe NV2, I googled it but didn't find one. Any charitable soul?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] naturist:
The paolo rom supports a2sd with which ext partition ? I am planning to flash paolo version to get root.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] BlackRose 22:
When is America getting this until then custom rom. Even then custom rom. .. I don't see the big point in GB update ... only make my phone worse .. only good would come from using the source code and stuff on custom. Roms.

From My LG Optimus P509 CM7
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
ext4 is NOT supported by LG kernel. Already noted multiple times and also in the very first post on GingerLOL thread.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] metalboy94:
In case anyone is interested and knows this stuff, I found a crash report from RockPlayer on my microSD card...
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
Added info on switching to other ROMs without downgrading baseband. Kindly read the first post carefully in case you want this!!! Stupid questions already answered there go to /dev/null. :p
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] fornixwoo:
is there chinese(simple) in this rom?? and how to flash it?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] metalboy94:
Nope, there's no Chinese language. For flashing instructions, gotoAndPlay(1); :rolleyes:
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] metalboy94:
Also, @doktornotor, are those instructions for switching to another GB ROM or Froyo ROM?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
Should work with any custom ROM. As noted in the first post, this is a wrong place to ask questions about it, not my patch.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] saphire:
Does a2sd work with this rom? I tried with 1GB ext2 and ext3 partition and it does not show any aditional ram in Titanium backup like it shows in GingerLOL 1.2. Did someone succeeded with this and how?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
cat $stupid_question >> /dev/null. Read the first post!!!
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] naturist:
That was not added to first post. You added now "DT's a2sd included (ext4 NOT supported by kernel)" Thanks.

I already flashed the ROM with ext3 and its working great. I was using official ROM, but wanna test paolo release. For me, the multitouch bug is fixed hvnt played much and the response is ok. Not as great as CM7/gingerbread but you will get great battery life and no bugs at all.

For those, who wanna try this- remember its not high ROM if you are a gamer with optimus one still it perform well with games like cut the rope, angry birds lags.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] naturist:
I am using ext3 1gb, and its working great with a2sd. May be you should try wipe all and flash the rom again. Good luck.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] saphire:
Dude the question is not if this rom supports a2sd the question is if this realy works because for me it does not work and of course I red all the posts including the first one so instead of acting like a smarta$$ try to give me a helping hand! Thanks !
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
Yes, it works perfectly. Hence (since it obviously is a PEBKAC problem, mostly resulting from not reading the info on A2SD in relevant threads) - as said on the original post - questions of this type go to general section, not here. I do not want this kind of noise on my thread.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] naturist:
I have already replied to your question. You can DM me, in case you face any problem.
