backup the ROM what you have, and then wipe the system by factory reset and formatting /system.

Connect it computer, and boot up recovery and see if it will let you mount USB.

If so, go the the LG updater site for Canada and if it recognizes your device, see if it will offer to upgrade you to v11H (since you have no ROM installed, it may do so.

If you are REAL lucky, that will load and unroot and possibly reinstall stock recovery.

Worse case if it does not.

R.restore your nandroid, try installing stock recovery with the oneclick tool, unroot with that onclick, and factory reset. Even is the recovery survives or is slightly different (doubt it - would think N. America would be the same) - they might not notice it.

Good luck - but why are you leaving us ...?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] timeiscoffee:
Thanks! I'll try that now.

My problem is the battery life : (

Wind in Vancouver have poor signal and that combined with 3G and Android's bad battery performance results in unreasonable battery life which I'm not too satisfied with : ( ...

I've tried *everything* to improve the battery life (cyanogenmod, cpu downclocking, ultimate juice booster, wcdma only, etc etc) but I can't get it over 8 hours even with moderate use...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xargon321:
might try a bigger battery i would say for moderate use thats good battery life got to remember that this is a dual core phone if you use it it will suck the juice.

Have you had any success with LGMobile Support Tool? Mine hangs at "Checking for whether the LG PC-Sync program is running..." and then "Checking the connection with the cell phone..." then stops at 30%, show "Problem with communication between cell phone and PC".

I have all the required USB drivers installed.

*Trying for the last time now... didnt work :(

No Wind G2X users out there? : /
[T-Mobile LG G2x] timeiscoffee:
You are my inspiration :D

Since no Vancouver Wind users seems to reside at XDA, I decided to take a darker route...

Wiped all drives (data, system, sdcard) and bricked the phone and restored Flash Stock Recovery (T-mobile's, which looks identical to Wind's). Now the phone hangs at LG logo and going into boot shows stock recovery. Since Wind's warranty policy is (from what I hear) over the counter exchange as long as the damage isn't caused by the user (physical, water damage), I can exchange for a new one and return it.

Better yet, I'll call Wind on Saturday (since tomorrow's a national holiday) and ask if they'll refund my "manufacturer error phone". Hopefully they'll be nice enough to refund it for me without the hassle of going all the way down to the warranty center.

....There's no Wind employee reading this?.... If so, shhhhh XD Cut me some slack please.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
If you have tried plugging it in and opening the LG Tool, I would try again and see without any ROM on it, if it would try to download the ROM for it. First check to be sure your computer sees it - id not, probably WOT,

Really surprised that you could not straighten out your battery drain. Usually just setting some profiles in SETCPU and turning sync off (I only do it manually - not auto) clears up most of the problem. Also, freezing bloatware with Titanium helps also.

You may have had one of the rare bad ones - you might try exchanging it with the understanding that if it will not give decent battery life - it is also coming back.

PS - it would be bad enough that Vancouver blew the SC again - but to get caught trying to return messed with phone - real bummer!

LOL - sorry - had to do that. Feel/felt your pain - when SJ did the same thing - again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ExpFist:
Do you still need this? I just got an Optimus from Wind.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] timeiscoffee:
Haha, thanks but I already returned the phone. However, it would be nice to upload the stock rom for other people who might need it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ExpFist:
I can do that. Do you know how to make a backup that doesn't include user data? I did a test restore and it included things like my gmail account.

Probably not the best thing to upload online :V
[T-Mobile LG G2x] timeiscoffee:
Im not sure... only method I can think of is doing a factory reset and making an image :P Not too convinient
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ExpFist:
Alright I figured it out. I cleared all caches, reset factory default, then took a backup. It seems to be clean.

I'll upload it and post a new thead (so it is searchable) probably tomorrow.

I do though! I recently flashed to the latest Cyanogen before I realized that bluetooth audio wasn't yet supported and now I have no bluetooth audio for my bluetooth headphones - thus I want to flash back to the stock ROM and await WIND's (cough) "coming soon" OTA update. Am I dreaming? Can you get the stock ROM off your phone?

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] dizgustipated:
pics posted (in original post)

now feel free to admit you didnt even try it, before posting something didnt work.

and, please, next time dont be so quick to call someone a liar.

No hard feelings though.

Now, back to my movie
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] KazeOne:
where did I call you a liar? I said that it wasnt working and that a lot of other people were having issues so to put pictures to back your instruction so we can see where some of us could be doing it wrong... sheesh talk about over reacting a tad.... for example maybe Im doing a step wrong so by adding pictures we get confirmation of what we are doing, so like this step "Open browser, change ua to linux desktop, mac desktop or IE6" could you expand on this a bit more?

okay the only ua string options I see is

Android - Doesnt work get message that I need to update Adobe Flash

Desktop - Doesnt work get the same message

iPhone - Does work but so far every tv show, movie, clip, or trailer I click say The video is not available on the iPhone

so ya if you can go over the string part and let us know which your using that would be appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] dizgustipated:
I can read what you said, even quote it.

Well, it does,

just takes the ability to know that you have to complete all the steps listed in any instructions for anything to work.

a correct way to say it, would have been something like:

"I tired your apk, and here is a pic of the error, ( insert pick here)

I see that your on such and such rom, does it only work for that style of rom, or did I do something wrong?"

Well something, somewhere around something like that.

your responce was:

That's my thread I linked you too.

Be humble, newcomer

Be more respectful, to all in this community.

Give facts about what rom you tried this exact one on.

The more info you give when asking for help, the more help you get.

Now,

open your stock browser

Press menu

Go to setings

(Some stock browsers make you got into Advanced settings to see next option, some don't)

Select user agent

If your browser doesn't offer this option, you fail a step and the logical next step is to get a browser/rom that has that option.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] KazeOne:
so then what browser are you using then and what string are you using, obviously it would make sense to post your exact settings if its working for you. if your running a custom string then alright Dolphin HD lets us use custom so again like you said providing more information helps and works both ways. ;)

Probably a simple answer, but how can I reduce the resolution if a photo for sending over email? Sending my 8mpixel photos is using too much data on 3g, and 640x480 will suffice.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kmandel:
I had a Vibrant and the GPS never worked adequately. It took 10 minutes to lock if then. I knew that some of the Vibrants had a hardware problem (a poor connection that needed to be soldered), and rather than try and fix it myself I got T-mobile to swap for a SGS4G.

Well that didn't help, the SGS4G has approximately the same problem. I presume there is no known similar hardware issue with the SGS4G, and the problem is come combination of software and hardware design.

I have tried the LBSTestMode tweaks and don't see a difference.

So far I've stuck to stock roms, currently KD1.

Is the bottom line that the USA Galaxies just have poorly implemented GPS's? Do any of the custom rom's for the SGS4G really materially improve it?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
What do your settings look like at the moment in LBSTestMode?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kmandel:
I'm using the defaults with the exceptions

application->op mode = MS Based

supl/cp setting ->server = supl.google.com

-> port = 7276

-> secure socket = off

I have also varied agps between suppl and conrol pane.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Same settings I have. You can try downloading GPS Status

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2

Click the menu key > Tools > Manage A-GPS state and click on reset, then go into the same menu again and click download. Restart your phone, and open the app again, making sure that you're outside where you can get GPS signal. After doing this my phone was able to get a GPS lock quickly.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] invario:
I'm going to say that I think that this is indeed the case.

Some people will have you believe that your settings are responsible, and that you should always get a lock within a minute, or even seconds with the so-called correct settings.

The fact of the matter is that if you VERY RECENTLY locked and your phone has the correct ephemeris data on it, then your re-lock will be VERY quick. This is a hot start. With a hot start, it should relock within seconds, if not instantly. I don't have an exact amount of time that constitutes a hot start or when the ephemeris data expires... obviously it also has to do with whether you're in motion or not.

If you locked recently, but not VERY recently, it will be somewhat slower by a few minutes at LEAST. This is a warm start.

Anything longer and you'll have to revert to a cold start.

AGPS helps somewhat, but the fact is that the GPS implementation on our GS class phones just plain suck. My girlfriend has a Vibrant and experiences the same issues. I did the hardware fix for her on it, and it helped reduce the signal bouncing around significantly, but the lock times... still just suck.

The people like the person above me (no offense) who claim to get quick locks likely haven't forced their phone to do a cold start or use their GPS frequently enough that it's a warm start at worse. If you want to actually induce a cold start, I find that GPS status doesn't really reset the GPS state fully. In order to force a cold start, you go into LBSTestMode and do a reset GPS. THEN you try and get a new lock with GPS Status and see how long it takes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stgeorge88:
try MS assisted. it worked for me when I was on froyo.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Krzysiek_CK:
I have both, Vibrant and Galaxy S 4G, and GPS on Galaxy S is much better than on Vibrant. It is not perfect by any means, but it is much improved.

Here are my lock times:

1. Cold start - around 21 sec

2. Warm start - around 17 sec

3. Hot start - 1 sec

These are used using the supl.google.com settings on stock KD1.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeyrushlow:
Since all this new hype about the phone being rooted has been coming out. Theres on thing I've been concerned with since I've planned on getting the phone. Will we be able to use Setcpu once root is released, and if so can we immediately clock up to 1.5ghz? Is it in the coding already, or is this kernel just officially set at 1.2?

I figured someone might have an answer since they achieved root through the kernel and have poked around in there ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] EniGmA1987:
We wont know till we all have root. But I highly doubt it, we will most likely need a custom kernel to enable overclocking. and having root doesnt give us kernel source code.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeyrushlow:
Bah! That's right, I've been so used to having everything available w/ the Evo 4G that I forgot about source code...

Any thoughts on the actual functionality of Setcpu though? Because I know for some phones/kernels Setcpu does not play well (or even at all sometimes) aka early times w/ Tegra 2's (even though their NAND and source coding were completely different)
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
I'd stay away from SetCPU for the time being, even if a future kernel supports overclocking. Our CPU has two cores with totally independent core clocks, so an app that is only designed to control a single clock wouldn't even know how to deal with our setup.

If I were you I'd try to let go of the old mindset of "faster, faster" and focus on getting rid of bloatware and generally streamlining the OS. This phone is already so fast that overclocking isn't going to accomplish anything except burn the battery faster and maybe return some slightly higher benchmark scores, but you probably won't notice any improvement in speed, because how can you get any faster than "immediate"??
[HTC EVO 3D] EniGmA1987:
With the flux capacitor they just released of course, dont you read the development forum? :p

But good point about all the other programs being made for 1 core OCing. We probably wont be able to use anything to overclock with until someone releases a version specifically for this phone.

I prefer to use these programs as a way of undervolting and limiting speed to get better battery life rather than overclocking for more speed.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeyrushlow:
Well until an optimized ROM and s-off was cracked I just wanted a little more oomph to get sense running a little smoother ;) but I really have no complaints withthe phone. Just wish sense was a little smoother. (Yes twss)
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
Once we get custom roms without all the bloat I am sure sense will fly ;)

I completely agree, because it ran decently well on the OG evo =)

[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Easy, just use a terminal/ADB to run the command 'mount'
[LG Optimus 2x] stevvie:
cheers for that. it seems that if you run the backtoext3 script and then do a nand restore it converts your data back/system to ext4 :( .
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Correct, it's smart like that.
[LG Optimus 2x] zebbe77:
Thanks, was wondering the same thing. I can see that my data and system are ext4 but cache is ext3. Is that ok, shouldn't they all be the same partition?
[LG Optimus 2x] hobs0n:
I think I did it correctly, got a lot of text, like 2 screens :) there was 4 that found ext3 in, /system, /cache, /data, /lgdrm. So I guess the cm7 rc1 im running is using ext3 then? Why isnt cm7 using ext4?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Because once you go EXT4, the only way back to EXT3 involves your data going bye-bye. I believe it was almost done, but RC changed his mind.
[LG Optimus 2x] stevvie:
was a way to extract files from a nand back so I could push them to my device :D

Greetings!

I'm new to all this so I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong place. Please forgive me if I am.

I've spent the last hour searching all over these forums and the web in general for the answer to my question, but I haven't seen a resolution.

I have now tried the SuperOneClick root for my Nexus One about a dozen times, and it keeps freezing on "Running psneuter..." and never ever goes any further.

I have tried this on two different computers, I installed the USB drivers from the Android SDK, and I have USB debugging turned on. I've followed those instructions for what happens when you get in the loop, even though they don't seem to apply to this exact situation.

There have been a few other threads here that seem to be about this topic, but they simply die out with no apparent resolution.

Please help! I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dignan17:
Any ideas? I'd really like to root my phone, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] digitalface:
Yeah, USB debugging on is fine..

Have you tried the gingerbreak APK?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dignan17:
I apologize for being such a noob to all this, but I'm not familiar with what that was. All anyone talks about in the "blogosphere" is SuperOneClick.

Does the gingerbreak APK simply root the phone and not mod it? For the moment I really just need to root. Eventually I want to MOD too, but first I want to get Titanium Backup Pro on there so I can save some game data before I MOD.

Again, sorry for being such a newbie. I haven't done rooting/modding since my G1 about 18 months ago, and things have changed since that...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dignan17:
I have to admit, I'm surprised how many posts I've seen with the exact problem I'm having, yet nobody has responded with an answer to this issue. There are dozens of comments on the Shortfuse site from other people who are stuck at "Running psneuter," and there are no fixes or even responses, really.

There seem to be many smart people on these forums, so it's strange that this hasn't been worked out or even addressed...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dignan17:
From what little I've been able to get out of others here, it seems that the problem is there's no exploit for 2.3.4 yet.

However, I found a guide to rooting here: http://goo.gl/oCWvR

It requires you to have an unlocked bootloader, a process that basically wipes your phone, so be aware of that. But I'm all rooted now so it's definitely possible to do.

Good luck!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Phat Phreddy:
I used the exact same guide.. went to post it to a thread here but as I have low post count I cant post links..

Bootloader was already unlocked.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dignan17:
Heh, well, once you get to SIX posts like I have, you're clearly a big-shot poster ;) But yeah, that's a very good guide.

In the end, though, it wasn't what did it for me. I was still having issues with it, but it got fastboot on my system and got me started. I then followed the instructions on Cyanogen's site and put a different recovery on there in order to get CM7 installed on my phone.
