I have root, because Titanium Backup and Wireless tether work and the Superuser app is installed.

I tried two CWM files with the same results, so I'll try some other recovery, maybe uninstall and reinstall FlashImage GUI.

I don't know about O1.

I was going to try to install CWM via Rom Manager, but my phone (Optimus-S) is not listed, just Optimus-T. Is it safe to use that? The O1 option mentioned in post 2 is not listed.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
Yeah that is the thing, I don't know whether optimus s is the same as O1 so I can't say whether the same steps will work.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bigsupersquid:
android central has a sticky in the optimus s section, "BRICK WARNING! Do not use ROM manager!"

rom manager even causes bricking on some Optimus v's, and it's supposed to be compatible with the OV. the OV and OS are hardware identical but have different partition sizes.

Recovery and rom flashes with rom manager don't always work on the OV, and it doesn't tell you when there's an error.

It's easy to flash a recovery in terminal.

The optimus s is not compatible with the o1, ot, om, etc. The o1 has a different chipset which makes it even less compatible with the op-s than the others.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
Well since that is clarified, @Moritzio, you can use the commands given here. Just be sure to use the correct Device system path for the Optimus S as given there.

i forgot to nand backup my original rom... my custom 1 is working fine. i have downloaded ma original rom from somewhere but i just wanted to know that if i need to install it is the same prosedure involved like in installing custom rom? (i.e going into recovery and installing the zip file (lg optimus one).
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
Is the original rom of extension .kdz? Then you need to use the KDZ updater to flash. If you don't want to use KDZ, then refer to the answer of 'How to get back to stock?' in the first page.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sachin kamboj:
i downloaded my firmware from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=944881 INDIA V10C its in.dz format so is it compulsory to use an external software cant i somehow get the firmware in the form of a rom?. another silly Q. IF I HAD V10C firmware before, is it possible to use a nand backup of another version (eg:- v10e) ?:rolleyes:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
Yes. If you had the any v10* version previously you still have the old baseband. You can flash the nand backup posted in the first post. Assuming you can access recovery, it is an AmonRa backup.

Orange P500 on T-Mobile?

I bought a UK Orange branded P500 on IceMonkey.com. I moved back to the US and now 3G doesn't work on it. I'm on T-Mobile. Is there any way to get the 1700mhz frequency working on this?

I have already rooted it. I used LGMDP to update the baseband. It says P500-M76XX-V10e-FEB-23-2011-XX. Is this tied to unchangeable hardware or can I do something to change it to work?

Thanks!

I tried it so many times and through so many ways, and it didn't work.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
Tried on a fresh flash? Check in your rom's /system/etc/init.d folder and delete all the files with words 'mount' or 'sd' (except the one named '02ungaze_init'). CM7 was causing me a problem with data2sd because of a 'mountsd' script. Deleting this mount sd script and reflashing data2sd solved it.

Hi ALL

is the bootloader of LG optimus P500 is locked by default or not?

i have searched in the threads ,but got confused with some users telling that bootloader is locked and some telling that its not..

For flashing kernels only the unlocking of bootloader is required right?

for Cutom ROM's alone we dont need to care abt bootloader right?

please clarify...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
For the non-developers, you don't need to do anything with the bootloader for flashing roms/kernels on the Optimus One. All operations are done through recovery.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] heartygooner:
Woohooo just installed my first ROM, without any issues!!! After much reading and edumicationing myself, I finally did it. I chose OpenOptimus for my first and it is very, very sweet thus far.

whats the best stable rom for 2.2.2 now?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
Devoid froyo-final. It is a 2.2 rom though. If you want only 2.2.2 roms, then check the repository, there are only a few 2.2.2 roms there. I can't suggest you out of those because I haven't used any of them.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] funkysonic:
.35 kernels are an improvment of .32 or they are simply the same for different roms? I didn't understand if it's better choose a .35 rom or .32.

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 PM ----------

Nice guide, thanks!:)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
Since the .35 kernel is meant to be an upgrade to the .32 kernel (and a substantial one at that), it is definitely an improvement.

Hey just wanted to say thanks for a great tut for n00bs like me... And here's my question. So I wanna flash only kernel so I can overclock my phone, I rooted my phone, flashed recovery, did a backup of apps and my stock ROM and now I'm wondering if I wipe cache and dalvik cache and battery stats( on a full charge) and install new kernel, when I wish to go back to my old kernel and ROM do I have to do the wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and battery stats all over again or just hit the restore button? Thanks!!! :cool:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
If you are talking about restoring a nand backup of your stock rom, then data/cache wipes are recommended, but not necessary.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
Sorry, I thought you meant restoring the entire rom. For restoring the kernel, again, cache/dalvik-cache wipe is not necessary but recommended. Wipe battery stats only if your battery starts behaving weirdly.

If you uncheck the box next to 'Recovery Image' then you should retain your current recovery.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
It is not necessary, but recommended because sometimes when flashing kernels it may cause some issues ("may" being the operative word here). Unfortunately, I don't have enough knowledge about the same, so if anyone knows more about this kindly enlighten me.

Hi Mihir287,

I almost gave up with my phone until recently i did something n finally could get into emergency mode :D ...strangely the combo is menu+vol up+vol down+power ...i used the recovery option in lgmobile update n it installed the latest firmware but now its getting stucked at android screen after lg logo:( ...i've downloaded stock p500 firmware n tried updating with kdz but getting error & fail msgs. i got no prob connecting my phone to pc n all drivers installed properly. I tried using lgmdp also to flash recovery & firmware but can't.

Is it because of my phone model is different? any idea where can i find the stock firmware for su370? is there any other tools or method to flash recovery thru emergency mode? thanks for yr help
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
I'm really sorry but I don't know where you can get the firmware for the su370. A google search reveals that they look the same, but I can't say and clearly the p500 firmwares didn't work for you. Getting hold of a su370 firmware is necessary, but I'm sorry I don't know where you can find it.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
Go to this thread (or this one for a picture guide), get the new baseband files (i.e v20*), make sure you read the guides atleast once before doing it, and follow the guide to flash the new baseband.

Then follow the usual steps mentioned in the quick guide to flash CM9, only flashing CM9 has two additional steps: When wiping data, also do 'format boot' and 'format system'.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] arczangel:
Thanks, what do i need first? Flash cm9 or the baseband?

if i flash the new baseband when I'm currently now in mik os, what will happen to my device? It's usable?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
First flash the new baseband. Usually, it doesn't matter if you flash the baseband first or the rom, but baseband flashing after CM9 is not recommended because CM9 disconnects USB during boot.

If you flash the new baseband, you will not get GSM network on mik's CM7.

Piecing Together: unlockroot, CWM Recovery (ROM Mgr), update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-p500

Hi

I need your help in piecing together the stuff by answering my queries (Answers should be related to the phone bought in India, if that matters in some cases).

About Phone:

Model Number - LG-P500

Android Version - 2.3.3

Kernel Version - 2.6.35.10-perf lg-electronics@INFBA00091 #1

Build Number - GRI40

Software Version - LG-P500-V20c

Mobile Service - BSNL

What I Have done till now:

Rooted by using unlockroot. GingerBreak was not working on my phone.

Installed ROM Manager from Android Play, which flashed the ClockWorkMod Recovery.

Took a NAND Backup.

Copied the Backup to PC.

What I Need to Know:

Which Custom ROM is most stable, supporting all Functionality of Stock ROM (read few Functionalities Like Camera, Wifi, Wifi Tethering, Data Connection etc are not working in few Custom ROMs). I am Considering <update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-p500-signed.zip>. Is it the right one

I understand Base Band has some thing to do with Data Connection, does the Custom ROM flashes even the base band. From various posts I understand that my Base Band is V20c which is evident from the Software Version (LG-P500-V20c). Do the Custom ROM have any dependencies on Base Band.

I want to try overclocking my Phone. How should can I do it safely (least risk).

I am not sure on the Cleaning/Formatting the Memory/SDCard, though I read in many posts. Can some one please explain me in laymen terms.

Your Help will be highly appreciated
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mrbenbiz:
The rom "update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-p500-signed" is for O1 newbaseband.

1. Since you are on stock gingerbread 2.3.3 your phone is on newbasband.

2. update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-p500-signed is pretty stable for me, this rom has some minor bugs while is still nightly, but at this stage of RC1 it can be used for "daily use"

3. To be able to install the CM7 custom ROM you have to do the following:

-put update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-p500-signed.zip on SDCARD (on root of the SDCARD no folders)

-download and put also the GAPPS (Google Apps) on SDCARD (link for GAPPS http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip)

After that reboot to RECOVERY and from CWM do the following:

-wipe data/factory reset

-wipe cache

-wipe dalvik cache (can be find on ADVANCED in CWM)

-install zip from sd card:

1. Install update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-p500-signed.zip

2. After complete install don't reboot, install also the GAPPS gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip

3. REBOOT

First boot it takes 5-10 minutes but after that everything will be OK.

If you would like to overclock your phone you can do that from: SETTINGS-> CyanogenMOD SETTINGS->PERFORMANCE->CPU SETTINGS.

If i helped you press thank button.

No one is responsible if you damage your phone if you install a custom rom instead of using the original stock one.Also by installing a custom rom on phones in some countries you will loose the warranty, so you will do everything on your risk.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] v4v:
What is O1???

Will the V20c baseband work with update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-p500-signed.zip??

Is your Camera, Wifi and Wifi Tethering working properly. These are few functions which i use regularly.

And above all...thanks for such an easy step-by-step explanation. Appreciate your help.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mrbenbiz:
O1 = Optimus One aka LG P500

The baseband from V20C origianl stock rom work with update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-p500-signed.zip becuase V20C has the newbaseband already and the CM7 RC1 is for newbaseband.

ROMs don't contain also baseband into it. The baseband is automaticaly upgraded if you oficially update the phone from FROYO to GINGERBREAD. So definitely you have the newbaseband installed already.

Regards.

---------- Post added at 12:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:18 PM ----------

WIFI working fine, i don't use tethering so i don't know if is buggy or not but on known bugs i think on RC1 no one reported to not working. Regarding the CAMERA some users have reported that the exposure is bad, and camera rotation bug (the pictures are rotated after you take a shoot), i did noticed this bug but i don't use very often the CAMERA but anyway this will be fixed until the stable release will be published.

Anyway for bugs reporting or any other questions/discussions regarding CM7 ROM please use this thread -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1444250 it will be more helpful and you will have a updated bug list on that forum.

Now my question and this goes out to anyone that can answer this, the LG Votex is an Optimus One right?

As fair as I can find on the internet is just a variant, but I don't see it talked about in any were on this post, I see the Optimus V but I thought that one was the virgin mobile version. Any clarification on that question would be nice.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
The LG Vortex may be a vairant of the Optimus One, but roms that work with the Optimus One presumably won't work with the Vortex. But custom recovery (AmonRa) is available for the LG Vortex (follow Step 2.d. of the guide), so if custom recovery has been developed, there is a good chance that there might be roms for the Vortex.
