Some where along the B70 production line, the SBK was changed.

So not all B70 can work with nvflash

It's does not sound like the normal error of locked bootloader models. I am not positive though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poulsen8r:
I tried them all. I just tried to backup but images just then and still happening. This is the exact error that I get:

Loading bootloader to Pad... please wait....
Nvflash started

Then I hit yes to backup root (just to see what would happen) and I get:

I really want this phone, theres not one phone i like better than this right now, samsungs are ugly IMO

But do u guys think that this will get ice cream sandwich? And the OS after that? From what ive heard LG isnt that good at updating, but they did fine with gingerbread i guess, just a few months wait

So should i get this phone?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I don't think you will see Ice Cream Sandwich on the G2X. T-Mobile has all but written it off and threw it to the waste side. The phone itself will be powerful enough until you start seeing quad cores. Its a shame you don't like Samsung phones because the Hercules and the Prime really are going to be better phones than the G2X. You will also be sure to get Ice Cream Sandwich too.

Why spread this FUD? I keep reading posts like this and I think they're nonsense. What factual evidence do you see that indicates LG won't update the G2X? I'm asking for a sincere explanation because so far all I've seen are opinions with no real explanations attached to them and I can't help but wonder if everyone on here is just repeating what they heard in some other thread.

The phone has been out for only 4 months, has already seen one update, and has the hardware to be useful for quite some time to come. Unless LG is exiting out of the smartphone business, I see no reason for them NOT to update the G2X.

Due to Nvidia not releasing their drivers/source for the tegra2 in the G2x, if this phone does not get ICS, any roms other than 2.3.3 roms will never be fully functional.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] richteralan:
There is also no clear evidence that g2x will get ICS. Just to let u know.

Ed: as to OP, I would suggest wait for Nexus Prime.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
just my opionion hope thats ok

The specs of this phone are great. If you get one that works it is great also.

But if you buy this phone with expectations of icecream coming to it , i would not do that.

The only proof i have that lg wont be bringing it to the g2x are the facts that tehy have a history of not updating their phones. the g2x got gingerbread because it was sold with a promise of it and it would probably still not be out without a lawsuit(probably- that means no proof) but the overseas version was out much longer and still hasnt recieved it.

I dont much like skinned devices. but the sensation is getting 2.3.4 GB and it had come with 2.3.3. . if that interests you can see whats saiod about the update and see if people are more happy with that phone.

But if you can wait for sept and rumors of first icecream phone coming in octoboer(which probably means november though :) )

if you get a phone that works and you are into modding. chances are much higher the modding community will bring icecream. But as someone said without proper drivers there tends to be problems.

IF you use streaming music to bluetooth you are at this time stuck on LG released roms. although the modifications of those are coming pretty good also. some good smali'ing going on.

Say LG did bring icecream to the G2x it would probably be a year from now. so if icecream is really your motivation id wait.

Hope this helps good luck either way.

But if you buy the g2x and have problems return it and dont look back.

youd think after all this time new phones would jsut work but i continue to hear of problmes with phones recently purchased so it continues to be a crap shoot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
Not to further feed the FUD fire, but history is usually a good predictor of the future. Since it took LG six months (it was released in Europe in March) to upgrade the O2X/G2X to Gingerbread, and even then with a Froyo kernel, I wouldn't hold my breath for ICS. Even with all the phone's issues there were only two or three very small updates to the O2X in Europe and none of them added any features or enhancements. LG could certainly have an epiphany and reinvent their Android development approach, but if you read the forums for their more recently released phones it hasn't happened yet. The just released Revolution's still on 2.2 and the G-Slate's still on 3.0. Until they get their act together they're a low-rent phone maker selling high-end phones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aNYthing24:
I dunno, the Nexus S is definitely getting ICS and it only has 512 MB of RAM. The G2x also has stock Android (like the Nexus S), so that helps as well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phaet2112:
I wouldn't ever assume that a piece of phone electronics is going to be upgraded. Ever. If the phone works for you right now, and you like it, then buy it. If you buy it hoping that it will work when updated down the road, well that may be a long wait, and may never come. Look at the features now, decide how much you want to spend, whether you want to be in a 2 yr contract (or buy it outright- cost difference at this point says likely get it contract at this point), and understand that besides the Sensation, there are likely two more phones out for Tmobile later in October, the HTC Amaze and Samsung Hercules (both may be 42 mbps). Those, as new phones, will likely carry $200-$300 price tags on top of 2 year contracts, while the G2x , since being released in may, will be cheaper. But both of those are going to be skinned, while the G2x isn't.

My G2x works great on stock GB, worked great on Froyo, and if it never ever got Ice Cream (I think it will get it, and the one after that), I'd be fine with it as is because it does everything I want it to- music, exchange email, calendar, maps/nav, games, movies. No one even knows really what else ICS will bring, so don't pin hopes on ICS making a phone more magical than it already is.

Besides only this phone is magic, to me
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BDorestant:
They can't even get 2.3.3 right on this piece of **** of a phone.......ice cream is definitely a no go. There giving this phone away for free for a reason guys. I never seen a phone with such good specs lower in price and given away for free so fast.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Glad someone else sees what I see. Although, you better back your opinion up before someone here has a hissy fit.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vapor311:
Its not even worth the risk.picking this phone up. Sure you could get a good one. However my money says you get 6 bad ones before you do.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] itslinx:
Agreed. Wait until something else comes out. The new Nexus maybe.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Well, considering the G1 and MyTouch 3G made it all the way to Froyo, we still have a long way to go!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ThC23:
So back to the question, you should never get a phone looking to get future updates.

Always pick a phone for what it already has installed. Let the updates be a surprise.

If you look at the history of any Android phone whether made by HTC, Samsung, Motorola or LG most did not get more than one update.

Now the G2X is a bit different because it could take more than one update, but will LG bother with it. Probably not, if anything it will get ported by the Devs here at XDA.

At this point in time would I get the G2X?

NO ...

There are a few new ones around the corner that I would rather wait for.

Don't get me wrong I like my G2X. But I got it on launch day and at the time Hercules was way too long of a wait.

So if you want Ice Cream S. Then wait for a phone that already has that installed rather then wait and hope for what ever phone you get to get the update that might not ever happen.

We can sit here and guess whether the G2X will or will not get it, but at the end no one really knows.

....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Well, you could get a Nexus Phone, and expect updates.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
Yea man kinda agree with him on this cuz I thought to myself man if I really wanted gingerbread I should have just got a phone with it, but I think at the time there wasn't anything good out, well that I liked, and I always thought the differences between froyo and gb weren't that different to really base me getting a phone with gb, now if ics comes out then that's something worth getting. But yea if u wanna phone were u know u will definitely get updates and not half baked updates lol then grab the new nexus prime, then again Samsung has been on top of things and pushed 4 out to the gs2

u guys are wild in this thread lol

If you want future proof stick with a CM supported device.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] g2xkid:
If I'm not mistaken as long as you have a rooted done you should be able to get the future OS's on the g2x or any other fone as long as there are developers around.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
I didn't bother reading this whole thread, but seriously...WTF does "future-proof" mean? The dollar in your pocket is losing value by the minute. Anything "cutting-edge" electronic that you buy today will be "getting you by" in a year...by 2 years, if you haven't already replaced it, you're definitely wanting to do so.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TheBigSaxon:
I have a flawless G2X and based upon my own experience with LG I am highly doubtful that ICS is going to make it to this phone unless Google somehow figures out how to make ICS platform ambivalent through some type of universal update/driver middle tier. This reminds me so much of the HAL issues back with WinXP. I have no idea how phone OS installs work so my comment maybe baseless but I can hope for a day when Google can release an update and if your phone supports it, it can install it without having to go through the vendor.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
As long as there is cm there will be ics for this and many phones...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] richteralan:
I don't know why everyone is so rely on CM.

CM does a fabulous job in supporting various of devices, but their developers aren't magicians. If NVIDIA doesn't release an ICS compatible drivers then there is no way we can get this device half-functioning in ICS.

And hoping LG releasing the source code? Like what they did with v21e? Stock Compile error ??

Yeah right.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] syl0n:
By Future Proof do you mean HSPA+ download speeds etc or Android updates. :P

It is a very good device in terms of specs, will definitely last a couple of years if you don't care too much about updates.

But yes I would like ICS too but we don't even know what ICS is yet so hold your horses.

It will all come down to the devs. You can probably count out LG and T-Mobile. I had the HD2 and that phone was completely dev supported. There is even an announcement of the devs getting Win Phone 7 Mango working on it lol! Hardware wise this phone should be ok for sometime though.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] broncosman:
Won't the merger have affect whether or not it will get ICS?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
If you don't feel that you HAVE to have gingerbread then you should give Ultimate G2X 1.0 a try. Its based on stock Froyo. Its very stable and everything just works. Its my go-to rom and what I've been running on a daily basis for some time now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Beggars1923:
Froyo cam?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Yea it has the LG camera app from Froyo. The rom is based on stock Froyo. The dev who put it together removed the bloat, tweaked it and themed it and added a couple other nice touches and in my opinion hit the sweet spot between speed, beauty, and overall functionality. A couple months ago he dropped support for the rom but in my opinion the rom is so complete that it really doesn't need the support. Like I said this isn't the rom I use to experiment and push my phone to its limits. This is my go-to, daily driver cuz I know it just works.

Hope that helps lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brentil:
Yes it does. Eventually the T-Mobile spectrum will be converted to AT&T's 4G spectrum and all our devices will loose 3G/4G making them useless pretty much. We all thought this phone had the AT&T 3G spectrum but it wasn't until afterwards we found out it didn't.

In terms of getting ICS for Tegra2 devices it's a bit of a no brainer. All most every tablet being made uses a T2 chip and ICS is the merged phone/tablet OS. The 3.x branch is heavily T2 reliant, why would they throw that away for ICS?

In terms of our phone I think the AT&T merger is more threat than LG. But if it happens to the P990 it can be ported/dissected, and as I mentioned above I think ICS will be well supported.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vapor311:
That merger happens and the g2x is trash but the merger...errrr buyout! Won't happen before there is so many better items on the market. If it happens at all. Just hope it doesn't.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xsteven77x:
If the merger happened TODAY it would be at least a year or two before the spectrum is converted. Why does everyone act like it would be wham bam our phones are useless. Probably would be 2 years. This phone will be old hat by then. If someone bought a T-Mobile phone yesterday and the merger goes through today, I doubt they would convert the spectrum a month from now and make people use a phone on edge for there 2 year contract. Think guys.

Firmware 2.3.3

Baseband I9000XXJVO

kernel 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVO-CL82937

build Gingerbread.XXJVO

My main desires would be a new rom with root, a lagfix (there are so many?) and a battery lifes mod of some sort (never used these...)...

Has anyone got any advise / recomdendations??

I'm a bit of a lamen, and no programmer, but I'm confident to flash and use odin etc....

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] chaoscreater:
Hi guys, another newbie question from me :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I flash a v2.1 SBF, then the kernel will also be flashed to v2.1 as well right?

Ok, so we also have a variety of custom roms. Some are based on v2.2 kernel, while some are for v2.1.

Now my question is, I know that CM7 is based on v2.2 kernel. Currently, I'm using a stock v2.1 SBF, so the kernel is also v2.1 as well. I want to know that despite this, can I still flash CM7 custom rom (which again is based on v2.2 kernel) on my phone? Or can I only flash a CM6 custom rom that is based on v2.1 kernel?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] skadude66:
Are you rooted on stock 2.1? Even CM6 is on the 2.2.1 kernel, so you would have to flash the 2.2 Vulnerable Recovery and then reroot, if I'm not mistaken.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] dateno1:
i think you can flash CM7 (if you editing rom)

XT720 use milestone's rom on 29 kernel
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Charles_l:
your kernel will update after install the CM7, because CM7 contain the new 2.2 kernel, you can flash CM7 directly, but remember to flash the BPSW update.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] chaoscreater:
Yes i'm rooted on stock 2.1. Initially, I couldn't get into OpenRecovery after flashing the stock 2.1 SBF, whereas I could when I was on stock 2.2. I did some searching and found this:

http://android.doshaska.net/rootable

and flashed the vulnerable recovery and now everything works fine. I got my phone rooted and currently using the TelusLite v5.2 for Eclair. However, i'm not sure if the vulnerable recovery is the 2.2 or not, i'm guessing it is?

Ok now i'm confused. From what I know, the bootloader for Motorola devices like the Milestone is locked. Therefore, we can't properly flash a custom rom on the phone, and we can't flash a different kernel either (which is why if you try to change one of the settings that relate to the kernel in OpenRecovery, you'll brick your phone).

So I've always thought that only flashing a stock SBF will change the kernel, and that the custom roms will rely on the stock kernel, hence why there're custom roms for different Android versions, like Eclair and Froyo? So ya i'm a little bit confused here.

Also, what's the BPSW update? What does it stand for and is that included in the CM7 custom rom topic? I couldn't find it and Google didn't find anything either.....
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] skadude66:
Yes, VR is based on 2.2.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] chaoscreater:
sorry, what does VR stand for? And I still don't understand it, can you please explain?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] skadude66:
VR is vulnerable recovery, it's what is on android.doshaska.net/rootable
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] chaoscreater:
ahh I see......but I still don't understand the part about the kernel.

I thought that every new firmware version update will use a newer version of the kernel? If yes, then how can custom roms like CM7 that requires kernel for v2.2, be installed on stock v2.1? Unless both the v2.1 and v2.2 stock SBF use the same kernel version? But then again, why are there specific roms for Eclair and Froyo? If you look at this topic here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=966812

the OP says that some of those roms might not work because of different kernels. So it leads me to believe that if you're on stock v2.1, then the kernel is different than if you're on stock v2.2, hence why the custom roms you can install are separated by Eclair and Froyo......

And lastly, if custom roms like CM7 will install the v2.2 kernel, shouldn't that require the bootloader to be unlocked?? I thought we can't change the kernel yet? I'm confused....
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] skadude66:
What you're confusing is that the version of android such as 2.2 is NOT the Kernel. The only way for you to change the kernel per se is to flash an sbf such as the Eclair or Froyo sbf. These are signed by Motorola and have holes in the code that have been exploited so we can flash Custom ROMs. The only things that we can do is flash a custom ROM or flash an SBF through RSD Lite. Kernels cannot be changed otherwise.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] chaoscreater:
ya I understand that, and that's exactly the reason why i'm confused.....

If you flash a v2.1 SBF, then your Android version is v2.1 (Eclair).

If you flash a v2.2 SBF, then your Android version is v2.2 (Froyo).

Now, the problem is that custom roms like CM7 requires the kernel for Froyo. In other words, you have to flash a stock v2.2 SBF first, so that your phone will be running Froyo and that the kernel will obviously be for Froyo as well.

So what I don't understand is, I'm using Eclair right now because I flashed a New Zealand v2.1 SBF. The Android version I'm running on is Eclair, and the kernel version should be for Eclair as well.

Then why is it that you guys said I can still flash CM7, which requires the kernel for Froyo?
