[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] praramis:
hey guys im really scared so i wanted to ask and see if anyone knows for sure but i flashed codeworks kernal for cwm and then rooted with superoneclick and was wondering would i brick my phone if i do a factory reset from phone options or will it work as normal or what will happen if i do that? plz some1 help me thx
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
A factory reset where? In ClockWork Mod recovery? If you for it there it will not harm your phone, but it will wipe all the apps you installed and reset your settings. You will not lose the contents of your internal SD memory, and you will not lose root. It does not actually revert to stock, its just like you freshly installed the ROM again.

Edit: Nevermind, I see you said phone settings. I would assume you get the same behavior as I desribed, but I've never tried it so I don't know for sure.

Sent from my SGS II
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stalked_r/t:
Correct. it will refresh you to the rom you have installed. I just recently posted a link to another forum on how to get back to the stock rom if you want to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] praramis:
ok well i will give it a shot and see what happens im crossing my fingers but i will let u know thx

edit: wait i forgot to ask this also my phone is unlocked with helroz app will i lose the unlock? do i have to do it again? if everything resets to normal?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ZeroIsntTheHero:
Assuming you're talking about SIM Unlock, then you will retain it. Even completely reverting back to stock still retains a sim unlock state, which is a good thing. =)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MakAttak:
But I want it...

OK, I am using my rooted - CWM CM7 I777 phone - AT&T has just agreed to up me to the skyrocket because I am still in my 30 day grace period. I need to get this phone back to absolute day one no monkey business stock..

:eek:

How?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Skyrocket is not an upgrade. You'll be limiting your choices severely from a development standpoint.

As to your request. There already is a write up by creepyncrawly in the general section that details every step. And yes you can go from cyanogenmod straight to stock with no issues.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidz3r0:
do i just find it in recovery and flash it? or do i apply update from sd card? what do i do? im sorry for the questions but im flipping out trying to get my phone to work properly again :/

EDIT: NVM fixed......
[T-Mobile LG G2x] conz56:
It seems like we might have a chance of getting it. Engadget has a post up saying all 2.3 devices after.the nexus s should get ICS being that the nexus s is getting it....and we technically have a stock build of android. So I'm keeping my hopes up that we still have a chance of getting it.....what are your thoughts?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phaet2112:
I think if people show some positive encouragement to LG to work with and for purchasers of the p999 rather than the immature hostility that permeates several of the threads at the LG forum an update should happen. It is still and active model in tmos system.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AdamHart612:
I was under the impression the G2x runs a stock gingerbread looking skin over LG framework. As in, just looks stock, not actually stock. http://twitter.com/#!/CM_arcee/status/63255644676960256

Seeing how much LG pooped the diaper on the GB update, I wouldn't hold your breath for anything official in the short term.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eunkipark92:
I thought they are suppose to support the android phones software upto date in period of 18months after they releas3 it? If the phone hardware can support it? Well thats what google said. I don't think lg have choice.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AdamHart612:
http://androinica.com/2011/05/android-updates-for-18-months/

LG doesn't have to do anything.

I would say a G2x ICS update is totally a possibility, I just wouldnt expect LG to drop it anytime soon. Seeing how long it took LG to release GB, if the G2x does get an official update I doubt it would be before next summer.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] conz56:
True,.but I'm hoping some kind of news gets released saying the g2x.will get it
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dylanear:
I don't care what operating system version my G2x is running as long as the radios and/or drivers that control them just don't work.

I've had 4 G2Xes, on 2.2 and 2.3, with multiple sim cards and used them in many areas of the US. They simply do no stay connected to the network. I have to reboot them manually several times a day to maintain connectivity/functionality. The Android part works fine especially since the GB update, but the phone part, and even the WiFi and GPS parts just are flaky as hell. If they don't fix that, putting ICS on this phone will not be any better an experience.

And I'd bet $100 LG never updates this phone again. They are SO washing their hands of it, it's a disaster they don't want to "waste" any more time and money on even if that means screwing thousands of customers. The users know it, LG knows it, T-mobile knows it, but they are not admitting it, because responsibly dealing with this disaster would cost them a fortune. For T-mobile/LG to fix this problem they'd have to send every G2X owner a different model phone that isn't fundamentally flawed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ramirez3805:
I wouldn't count on it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cnpthe3rd:
My G2x was also a POS I got it (like a fool) the day it came out, and when i first got it it sucked so bad after the second day i had it it went back in the box and sat on the closet shelf and I went back to my Nokia N8 but a month or so ago i got it out and just for the hell i played around with some ROMs and have been running Weapon G2x 2.4 without a single flaw or hiccup since.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dylanear:
I have two G2Xes, one with CM7.1 one with stock GB. They both suck at staying connected to the network. Perhaps it's time to try another distro, but I'm pretty convinced the baseband is fundamentally flawed. If I stay in the same place I start to think it's all working, then I drive somewhere and realise how useless this phone is. I wanted to love this phone so much, on paper it's just awesome, perfect for me. In reality it's garbage and I can't wait to be rid of it. I've wasted weeks of my life on this useless thing thinking surely it can be made to work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zPhreak:
I got a G2x early on. Reboots every other day in the beginning, etc.

Now i'm pretty stable, can go more than a week. Just have GPS lock issues.

Rooted, stock GB, using Go Launcher and SetCPU.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ThC23:
After the GB update I wouldn't hold my breath. Our phones are more than capable of handling ICS, but I doubt we'll see it.

Yeah, it can get ported, but won't work the same.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] conz56:
My g2x works flawless for me, no hiccups,.always connected to the network....nothing wrong. I came back to the g2x from the mytouch 4g slide because of stock android and the support. I have a good feeling we'll see ICS eventually. If not ill just go prime
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I dunno, the G2x is like the black sheep any more. I don't see anything about it. LGs track record thus far doesn't look good in regards to updates. I bet CM team will get something stable on ICS but your looking at months...

Not a big deal. Well probably have themes and apps that could pretty closely replicate ICS while still using GB. On the nexus one, I used a GB theme on Froyo for a while before actually switching. A nice theme and new Widgets will ease the wait.

I run MIUI and Faux 4.3 and have no network issues what so ever.... that's actually what kept me on MIUI for so long... and now I'm addicted. MIUI works fantastic minus wifi calling.

LG G2x - 2.3.5 MIUI

Asus Transformer - 3.2 Revolver
[T-Mobile LG G2x] conz56:
Miui that good? Man ive been out if the rooting loop for awhile.....whats the benefit of faux kernal?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] barqers:
For me MMS doesn't work on MIUI. Only reason I'm not on it.

I agree though, don't think LG will give us the update officially. It's kind of sad that Google is letting it's platforms get so dispersed. I mean both Apple and Microsoft have the updates down-pact.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr mystery:
Both closed platforms, that is the trade off
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alphanumeric:
Which ROM has MMS working?

What ROM are you using? My MMS does not work either, I am on Xboarder's ROM(OTA Tweaked) and whenever I have wifi+2g or wifi+4g I cannot send out an MMS. If I want to send out MMS I have to turn off wifi, switch 2g on, then switch 2g off, then finally stick with 2g or 4g and then TRY to send out the MMS sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gypsy214:
how can you say LG took long to update to Gingerbread. i still have my vibrant and galaxy s 4g and their still have not yet come out with gingerbread on them. imagine that after over a year.

lets see the g2x came out on april 20th

and gingerbread was july 15th

thats 85 days thats 4 months since it released date

i think LG was pretty fast with the update.

comparing to others brands

my g2x never had any problems at all
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bratten2121:
So what you guys are saying is I should return my G2X? ha I live in Milwaukee, WI and have heard good things about tmobile, why I switched and 4G is stable here. I'm still in my 14 day window and just wondering if anyone thinks I should get a better phone?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
Yes, you should. Get a SGSII if you need a phone right now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bratten2121:
yea the sgs2 is too expensive honestly, and the mytouch seems too out dated. What could I do here, should I cancel since I went through a store and try a online method, is that possible?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] matrix0886:
I can't believe the bad luck people are still having with the G2x. My ex-wife, a friend of mine, and myself all bought G2x's within the past month, and we've had NO problems with them. No signal drops, instant GPS locks, no reboots, no looping, nothing...nada...zip, zilch, zero. As someone who has grown up around electronics, I know all about the lemons that come out of the factory, but it's so odd for someone to go through multiple phones of the same type with constant issues. My brain doesn't want to accept the fact that so many lemons all grouped themselves together and shipped to the same area, preying on some poor, unfortunate soul, lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Claude3rd:
I just ordered 2 from T-Mobile (My wife and I), They are running a web special of 0.00 for new/upgraded lines. I am defecting from that carrier "which shall not be named". I guess I will put the phone thu its paces for the 14 day window.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] opethfan3:
I don't know the ins and outs of porting or development, but I can imagine that if we have a near-flawless CM7 build, a lot of the hard work of driver development, etc is already done, and ICS shouldn't be too hard.

I am prepared to eat my words though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] richteralan:
There's virtually nothing in driver development since NVIDIA won't release the source code.

The A2DP is just a work-around. I guess everyone knows the meaning of "work-around".

If we have functional drivers we will have HDMI output on CM as well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
I belive HDMI works on cm7 1080p and now arcee got 720p working, so the hell with LG and NVIDIA who needs them when we have cm!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] princeasi:
Lol you must don't have an idea on how big corps such as lg operate. The only positive encouragement lg want are $$$. Right now there focus is looking past the g2x. It was evident with gawd awful slow and incomplete gb update. And still they haven't made any announcements on fixing known problems with this device.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] uploder:
yeeeaah. if an official OTA for ICS is pushed out i'd really REALLY be surprised. just wait til the dev section releases like 5 different types of ics based roms and have @ it. If you have a G2x and havent rooted it yet i really dont see why you have the phone in the first place! but the sad truth is LG has been over this phone for a long time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eunkipark92:
Should show them if they act like that no one will but there product lol.everyone should do that never buy lg again just like samsung people did! Lmao
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tokimaromi:
i've been having a lot of problems with my g2x the past couple days with rebooting and i've had to do several battery pulls. if we do get ics, would it fix that or do i just all of a sudden have a defective phone?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] conz56:
I think it's your phone because mine is perfectly fine never had a problem with mine
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Odd cause MMS works great for me and always has. My gf and I send pics often. Never an issue on any weekly builds. Are you on Wind or something? Sounds like an error in your APNs. I'm on tmobile and MMS just works. I flashed my neighbors G2x with MIUI and aside from no Wifi Calling, it works nicely.

The reason for Fauxs kernel is battery. MIUI has ways chewed up battery on every device I used but fauxs SV DS kernels fixes that. It also allows overclocking and undervolting, which I don't do on my phone. I just flash latest miui and latest fauxs kernel.

The only problem now is I can't use any other rom without withdrawls.

I think LG probably wont develop on this phone anymore. They screwed the pooch releasing it and everyone returned it and or jumped ship for sensation... now they have a small userbase and a bad rep. Typically companies just sweep it under the rug and try again. CM7 will be our only guiding light from now on.

LG G2x - 2.3.5 MIUI

Asus Transformer - 3.2 Revolver
[T-Mobile LG G2x] conz56:
Any way you could put out a video of the g2x running miui?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] barqers:
LOL I went through the same issues when leaving MIUI.

I don't know if my APN is a problem since I use the same settings on Weapon 2.8 but am able to send MMS just fine. If you have another suggestion, I'm open to ANY ! :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shovelhead83:
There is one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] conz56:
on youtube? I'm kinda interested in this rom
[T-Mobile LG G2x] daganb:
Without a doubt we will see ICS in the form of CM9 for the g2x. I would guess 1-2 weeks MAX after the source is released.

Everyone is getting all worked up over nothing. Even if LG decides to abandon this phone, we will always have custom roms.

I purchased my g2x from craigslist, about a week after the tmobile USA release. The think the stock rom lasted the 2 hours it took me to get home.

Ran a few custom roms waiting for cm7 to get stable enough for a daily driver. Think it took about a week longer for that to happen (around cm7 daily 25ish). I have never regretted this phone purchase.

It's fast, excellent screen, and has a ton of life left in it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] frescoraja:
i am kind of doubting ICS will ever appear for this phone. wouldn't it look like **** anyways, with the built-in touch keys below the screen on the g2x, and then the software touch keys built into the OS at the bottom of the screen? also, i''ve read numerous times that it will require 1280x720 resolution.. ?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] daganb:
If a phone has physical keys, ICS will not display the software touch keys

The SDK of ICS supports all resolutions, down to 320x240
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
It has been ported already to a g2...

Sent from my Calculator with Android.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gypsy214:
i honestly think LG gave us a ****ty version of GB because tmobile was losing a lot of money with the g2x.

all i know and pissed me off is why lg would give us 2.3.3 and then they just released another device (lg esteem) and its running 2.3.4.

the 2x havent had gb yet.

and now their having another 2x/g2x like phone to tracphone LG-L95G

with 2.3.4. and how about us? we are still here. we havent gone anywhere its like this phone is a ghost to LG
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AbsoluteDesignz:
The G2X is the last LG device I ever buy...I do enjoy it, sure, but the way they go about things I just don't trust them.

I will however get an LG IF and ONLY if they are a Nexus manufacturer in the near future.

Thank god we have full root and astonishing Android devs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
LG doesn't update phones. They'd rather make you buy a new one; most companies would. That's why Google is having to force them into supporting their devices with ICS
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
HTC and Asus are the only ones that seem to be guaranteed timely updates. Seems updates come out every few months.

Sad. I also found that LG doesn't do advanced replacements (mail you one, mail yours back) for warranty... you can only ship yours off for 4 weeks while they "fix" it. Screw that jive.

Luckily the G2x is pretty solid and the devs are taking care of it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gypsy214:
i agree with you in that. its kinda like samsung. when they released the vibrant they didnt plug a ffc cause then the phone would cost more. then they came out with the vibrant 4g with ffc and expect people to drop the vibrant and buy vibrant 4g.

well i bought me a sensation on craigslist for 200 bucks with no scratch at all and i have my g2x to play around with.

im not bragging about the sensation but there is a threat that shows that HTC is working on getting their devices with a ota for ICS and the sensation was included in it.

next time if i buy i phone i'll go with a HTC or a ''Google'' device. cause they seems to update their devices regularly (not with google)

---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------

WELL SAID

i bough a sensation off of craigslist for 200 bucks it has not scratches at all. and on their threat they show where HTC says that they are gonna work on giving a ota ics for their devices sensation included.

if im gonna buy another phone i'll make sure ill get another htc or a real google device that keeps updates on their phones.

So...No ICS on the G2x?

So are you saying that ICS will (Custom ROM) will not be available for the G2x?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
Hahahaha. I doubt that LG released drivers for that either, though. So I guess it proves it won't be impossible...

That's because the Vibrant/Galaxy S 4G were never promised a Gingerbread update.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jmfixitman:
Why would LG update an old phone like the G2x? Whether its a phone, blueray player or TV, most of these companies have no incentive to keep up with firmware updates for old models... Other than hardware, what would make you want to buy a new phone then????

Thats the beauty of a rooted phone, I can update software/firmware when I want too, not when they let me...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
With that attitude you haven't a clue of what the benefit of open source is about and rooting the phone. Yes rooting is awesome for that reason, but it doesn't help if both or one of the companies is closing the source and not updating any further! If they don't release source or give out an update to ICS for a phone with the same chip set then count us out for anything further when it comes to 100ish% complete rom further then 2.3.7!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Both sad, But true.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] noxary:
I can't believe that LG is just allowed to put out such a crap of a phone and ruin their entire customer usage. I know I won't be buying anything LG ever again, I'm sticking with either Motorola, Samsung, HTC or Nokia.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasukewa:
Does anyone know how to configure the way the phone lock to the different frequency towers? I.e. can we create a rule on how it works out which band it uses first.

i.e. In my area, i can get 2G, 3G and 850 WCDMA 3G. I want to configure my mobile to use the priority in order of

1. 2G

2. 850 WCDMA 3G

3. 3G

Anyone knows how to do this? Thx.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
You can't control this as the towers tell the phone priorties. If everyone could choose whatever is "best" - say 2G - then the 2G channel would be jammed and then the 3G channel would be sitting idle.

The base station and the phone communicate and then mutually switch frequencies or channels.

You can manually lock the phone to 2G of-course then manually switch to 3G if/when you need speeds or something. ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasukewa:
There are very valid reasons to be able to control how the signal is acquired. Some areas where 2G and 3G signals overlap, you may find that the 3G signal is weaker or problematic and you want the phone to hold on to 2G. It could be a particular band, i.e. 850MHz or 1800MHz.

Sometimes a particular 3G band is faulty so we need to exclude it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
Didn't say you didn't have valid reasons, hell i lock my phone to 850mhz when i'm using the stock ROM but on CyanogenMod can't do it. One reason why I did it is because 850mhz is stronger (obviously) but for some reason AT&T is camping everyone in the area on 1900. I'm guessing they are doing some LTE work on the 850mhz frequency so they push everyone off it to do the work needed but when I manually force it back to 850 calls work just as normal :confused:

Anyways, you can manually choose em using the network codes as I said, you just can't set up preferences as you so desire as that's controlled by the network, even if it's for reasons as mentioned. You can just disable 1900mhz and therefore only get 3G on 850 but if you go in an area where there's no 850 license then you wont have cell coverage.
