@touch of jobo:

Flashing downgrader from AlphaRev is not possible, the OP is S-ON.

@OP:

Check bortak's guide to bring your phone back to stock.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DutchDisturbed:
Have you tried step 7 in Bortak's guide? (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1275632) It was the solution for me! I skipped the downgrading part (had the same hboot as you have, so that shouldn't be a problem) and went on with phase 2.

If your phone was indeed unbranded, the goldcard should not be a problem as I understood..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boy_in_oz:
Thanks guys. I'm at work at the moment but will give Bortak's guide a shot when I get home tonight and report back then.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
The definition of unbranded is a bit different. Unbranded does not exactly mean that there isnt a carrier logo. HTC manufactured and sold phones in India as an example is for all intents a branded Device. It's the INFOCID property that defines whether branded or unbranded.

Inside an RUU zip is a small text file. Open it and see if your INFOCID value is included. If not, you cant flash that RUU without a goldcard. See my sig for the unbricking guide, which explains this.

From my Guide:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boy_in_oz:
Wow, I would have never guessed this... With fastboot oem gencheckpt I found that the CID is T-MOB101... i.e. my Desire is actually branded! I bought it from mobicity in Australia as an imported unlocked phone and *assumed* that it was unbranded... So it's not surprising that the RUU gave me a customer ID error. (This also explains why the OTA update failed while I was still using this ROM).

What's really weird though is that the version of the ROM that the phone came with was definitely 2.29.405.2 with baseband ROM 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27... I did some googling today, but couldn't actually find a T-Mobile ROM with these version numbers :eek:

My guess is that mobicity imported the phone and flashed a stock HTC WWE ROM so they could sell it in Australia...

Any thoughts on this? I'm assuming that means that I do need a goldcard after all to go back to the stock ROM?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boy_in_oz:
Ok, as I couldn't find a T-Mobile ROM with the aforementioned version numbers, I eventually decided to make a goldcard and flash RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe. The whole process worked fine without any error messages and the RUU reported success at the end.

Unfortunately my bootloader still displays the same info as in post 1, i.e. I'm still on HBOOT 0.93.0001. I would have expected this to revert back to 0.93... Did something go wrong with the updating procedure?

The issue is obviously still that the original ROM seemed to be a T-Mobile ROM (in fact I think a German one as fastboot oem gencheckpt reports the carrier as TMD), so I'm not sure if the service point will accept the unbranded WWE ROM I flashed.

The other option might be to flash the official HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade from www.htcdev.com, but I think it's not compatible with T-Mobile Germany Desires... If I could flash this, it would at least be an official release and the service point shouldn't complain. Does anyone know how easy it is to root/S-OFF/install custom recoveries/ROMs afterwards? From what I read, I would need to use revolutionary, right?

Any alternative suggestions would be much appreciate...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Your are totally fine with 2.29 RUU. Hboot would only update if you flash 2.3.3 RUU. Did not read about guys who "bricked" their phone by using 2.3.3 RUU on a desire by T-Mobile.

Good Morning to everyone (Germany :) ).

I´ve downgraded my DZ from the actual version to Froyo. Now i want to root it. I was searching for different manuals and all of them said that it´s necessary to check the Infocid. Unfortunately it doesn´t really work on my phone.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905261

The first step seems to be clear. I type in the command and the phone restarts and powers up in the boot menu. But when I type in the second command line, the terminal says that this command was not found. Every files should be in the right folder i think, but it does not work. Do you have any ideas, what the problem might be? I don´t have i file called fastboot oem loader in my platform-tools-folder. Is that the problem?

Thank you very much.

Edit: Now i also found this Thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1140722 . But what does "set up on your computer" mean? Is it a programm?

[LG Optimus 2x] JimmiG:
Hi all. I picked up an Optimus 2X for cheap during a sale, and overall I'm quite satisfied with it. However, one problem is the lack of RAM which ironically makes multi-tasking less smooth than on older single-core phones like the HTC Desire.

The Optimus 2X has 384MB RAM available to the system, where as most high-end phones have 512MB and some even 1GB. Even the old Nexus One had 512MB. After startup with Android 2.3, only about 150MB is available, which quickly decreases to ~100MB.

I know the whole Free RAM = Wasted RAM argument, but this has real-world implications with this phone.

For example, if you open the web browser and then use some other applications for a while and switch back, the page is not longer in memory but has to be reloaded. It's the same with other apps, they quickly get kicked out of RAM when you run other apps, forcing them to reload.

How does CM7 compare in terms of RAM usage? I'm guessing the LG bundled apps and background tasks use up quite a bit of RAM?
[LG Optimus 2x] droweed:
that remaining ram id because of the tegra gpu, 128mb is allocated I think.. about ram management, I'm using miui and downloaded sd data from a game then browsed the forums via browser then switched back to the download and its still intact, returned to the browser and all tabs still ok,

i think most stock based roms behave the same as yours
[LG Optimus 2x] prabhjitsinghwalia:
Advice regarding ram availaibilty and buying new device

Guys i need your advice since it is slightly related to current topic. So , here it is

i am going to buy a phone tomorrow

I was thinking of Optimus 2x.

I am coming from Nokia S60v5 and u can imagine the Ram problems there so i am very sensitive to the issue of less ram availaible.

1) how much free ram does O2x offer on a)stock 2.3 b) CM7 ?

2) I have the Option of Buying either O2x ,Oblack or Galaxy Sl(indian version of galaxy s) as price of all 3 are similar , which one would you choose, doesn't Oblack offer more free RAM than O2x ?

3) A little research tells me that nvidia havnt released their drivers, and god knows when LG will come out with ICS ,just wanted to know are there any chances/news or assurances of CM9 supporting O2x coz if chances are bleak wudn't i be better off with Oblack?
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
1.b) mine is up for about 40 hours and i did lots of mt, and i got 169mb free.

i dont see a problem with the ram size, its all super smooth here. and to my knowledge most people that know nothing about ram think more=faster which is not the case...
[LG Optimus 2x] JimmiG:
I'm no expert but having used computers since the VIC 20, I don't think I know "nothing" about RAM. That machine had 3.5KB of RAM which was fine back then, but there's a reason modern devices have more RAM than that. More *is* better in many cases.

My HTC Desire starts of with about 260MB free out of 576MB total, where as the Optimus 2X starts with ~180MB free (reflecting the 128MB that gets allocated by the Tegra2 GPU). This means less RAM available for applications you launch and want to keep in RAM. It's *mostly* "super smooth" here too, but it's annoying when e.g. the web browser or Google Earth gets kicked out of RAM and have to reload, since this adds several seconds when switching tasks. Applications themselves are super responsive, it's only when task-switching between several large applications that this happens.

I guess I'll try some third party ROMs and see how they behave. LG do bundle a lot of useless stuff with the stock ROM that you can't stop from starting automatically by default.

The Optimus 2X is not a bad phone at all. The display and build quality are very nice, the size is just right. Battery life is also quite good (for an Android phone, which still means you have to charge it every night). It's the only dual-core phone out of the ones on your list, which puts it in the same league as the Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Nexus in many ways.

I'm sure we'll get ICS eventually but it might be a longer wait than for something like the Nexus S. You'd better be prepared to root and switch to a different ROM however. Considering how long it took LG to release their version of Android 2.3 I wouldn't count on them releasing anything in 2012, if at all.

I have 187MB of RAM free after a clean boot with stock 2.3 (Version 20L), if I go directly to Programs and look at the amount of free RAM under the Running tab.
[LG Optimus 2x] prabhjitsinghwalia:
Also another thing that's bugging me off is

-O2x, i have heard reboots itself, now the very reason why i am buying a new phone is that my Nokia phone kept rebooting even when the battery was full, whether on stock OS or custom Firmware.That pissed me off.

-Does this issue still exists in newer Handsets after updating to 2.3 , becoz if it does wouldn't i be better off buying Lg Optimus black because i am stretching my budget just to accommodate the dual core of O2x and if after spending such a large amt it still reboots , i would be heartbroken :(

waiting for some helpful replies as i will be buying one of Oblack or O2x yesterday itself :)
[LG Optimus 2x] JimmiG:
I just installed CM7.1 and I'm happy to report that it now has 246MB of free RAM after a clean boot. Keep in mind that this is a completely clean install, where as my stock installation had a couple of widgets and notification apps going. But there's still a significant difference.

So part of the problem is that the LG launcher and customizations are not very optimized and waste a lot of RAM. Of course, the phone is still missing 128MB RAM when compared to other similar phones, but with a less bloated ROM, it's less of a problem. Let's hope the RAM requirements of ICS won't be too much higher.

Spontaneous reboots can be caused by many things. Android will reboot if an application hangs so completely that the phone ignores all input. It could also be a hardware problem such as overheating or low voltage. My O2X has never rebooted on its own so far. My HTC Desire started doing this when using the 3G radio a lot, likely due to overheating. That's why I switched to the O2X. Keep in mind that everything is pretty much "on the edge" with these devices that pack so much power into a small package. Avoid warming the device up in your jeans pocket (use an outer pocket of your jacket if possible) or using it heavily while its charging.
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
i didnt refer it to you when i was writing about the ram stuff... anyways, if you need more ram there is a kernel which can free i think up to 96mb from the gpu or so. so if you dont play games or recored hd then you might give it a try. kernel is called vorks stepchild or something like that and can be found in dev section. sorry cant copy links from xda app o.O
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Just a quick mention for the Nexus S here, that has the exact same RAM configuration, and Google are putting out ICS for it, so it can't be a huge problem.
[LG Optimus 2x] Mungulz:
It's crazy, stock rom Opera wouldn't even background after 2 seconds.. With CM7 I have RAM compression on 20% or something and Opera stays open for hours, it's great. There are kernels which have 32-128MB RAM hacks too that steal back from the GPU section. IronKrnl comes to mind.

There are some implications, 32MB loses reboot (which is nothing), 64MB+ gets dodgier.

You know nothing about RAM if you believe that statement then... Tell me, what about the operating system panicing to closs apps to free RAM, and falling on it's ass doing so is faster?
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
Use scripts like Supercharger, or Juwe ram script modified by Vadonka (search threads in dev section). Or System Tuner where you can easily modify freemem parameters.

Brought my O2x !

Thanks for your advice guys, bought my O2x today , will be updating to stock 2.3 today.

a) any pre update advice ?

b) i dont intend to use stock rom for long, and as i am new to android and my previous nokia only taught me about making Custom Firmwares , So plz tell me which modded 2.3 should i use ? what is this i am reading about that the kernel is from someone else ? rom from some other Mod ? and also this baseband stuff ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
a) Try not to use it. The froyo ROMs are crap and will probably give you a poor opinion of the phone and/or AIDs :D

b) CyanogenMod, IMO
[LG Optimus 2x] prabhjitsinghwalia:
info about cm in general

i understand Cyanogen mod is an after market firmware,so

a) is it a custom rom or does it use the vendor's phone's rom ?

b) i understand we can also change kernel's , so does CM modifies the kernel ?
[LG Optimus 2x] miina_tokiha:
a. do not update to official 2.3. rooting it is pain in the ass. rooting froyo is easy. and official 2.3 is still sakk ess.

b. CM7 is your answer.

a. custom rom. you can google it.

b. cm use its own kernel. plus there are 3rd party kernel to optimize it further.
[LG Optimus 2x] prabhjitsinghwalia:
Questions

a) How will rooting help me?

b) i suppose i cant downgrade to 2.2 from 2.3 , right?

c) i can still use cm7 after updating to froyo right?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Yeah you'll be able to switch back and forth stock ROMs via Smartflash or KDZ, and you will be able to use CM no matter what version you have installed.
[LG Optimus 2x] prabhjitsinghwalia:
^now thats quiet helpful , just to be sure i am updating to 2.3 using lg's official crap whatever that is coz thats taking years to check/buffer whatever. or do u ppl use KDZ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I've used KDZ once, but to return my phone to stock last time I used Smartflash. Less hassle, IMO.
[LG Optimus 2x] miina_tokiha:
the most important thing is to root first.

then install Clockworkmod Recovery (install via ROM Manager @Market).

after that, you can flash/restore to any ROM you like.

unlimited backup/restore times (as long as your sdcard have enough capacity).

backup data can also stored to your PC hard drive (just copy/paste).

Titanium Backup is also a must, to restore your user apps to a new ROM.

this also use root access.

so first thing first, root.
[LG Optimus 2x] prabhjitsinghwalia:
ok so u asking me to root my stock 2.2 first and then update to stock 2.3 ,why?

and its been nly 2 hrs since i bought this phone so i dont think i will need recovery tools like Clockworkmod Recovery or will it help me to recover to 2.2 incase my 2.3 update gets stuck?
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
No!

You root froyo, a it is easy.

Then you instal ROM manager, and within ROM manager you instal recovery.

You absolutely need cwm to flash all ROM, as they are in cwm format. Only stock unmodified ROM can be find in kdz format.

Then boot on recovery and flash cm7!

you don't have to be on GB to flash a GB ROM. All system partitions are rewritten so Froyo is erased, as stock GB would if it was installed.
[LG Optimus 2x] prabhjitsinghwalia:
Sir, at present i am only looking to upgrade to stock lg 2.3 via lg software updater, so a) i dont think i will need cwm,will i?

b) now since i am going from stock 2.2 to 2.3 , will i need to root before upgrading by superclick?
[LG Optimus 2x] miina_tokiha:
oh sorry.

I think you want to try custom ROMs.

a) you don't need root or cwm to update stock ROM.

b) superoneclick is used to root Froyo. to root stock GB, you will need to use a more "pain in the ass" procedure: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1327599

[LG Optimus 2x] voon:
Is there a dummies guide to "safely" install a custom rom? I see all these terms (cwm, recovery, rom manager, kang etc) all the time across here ... but very rarely explained .... I'd prefer to know a bit what I do and what I'm destroying by doing so :) Everytime I gather enough confidence by reading some doc, I stumble across a "DO not use veryion XYZ, it will brick your phone with serial YZXbahbah" remark somewhere, or see a "2007" in the docs footnote or read wild things about phoens going into loop etc....

Btw: It wasn't hard at all to root my 2.3.4 LGOS..... Superoneclick did everything within seconds, completely hasslefree ... true to the word: 1 click.
[LG Optimus 2x] SP1996AC:
I don't know if there is a dummy guide for it but I can try to explain it easily:

Installing custom ROMs is done by flashing them on your phone with ClockworkMod (cwm) often referred as recovery mode. You can do this by using the app ROM Manager which allows you to do multiple things like making a backup of your rom, and of course, enter recovery. Another way to enter recovery is to boot, holding the power and volume down button.

In recovery, after downloading the rom you wish to flash you can find it on either your internal or external sd card.

Flashing:

1. ALWAYS perform a backup of your data.

2. Enter recovery

3. Wipe cache

4. Go to advanced and wipe dalvik

5. Wipe data (factory reset)

6. Install zip from sd card and find the rom you wish to install

7. Reboot

Basically this is flashing. You'll get the hang of it by experience.

Furthermore, a KANG is nothing more than for example a CyanogenMod rom which is improved by some developers outside Cyanogen Team. They use their source code to improve it to the way they want. Also, these KANGs are better than ordinary CM7 nightlies.

I know that it is confusing when you're about to flash for the first time. I used to be new to flashing too. A tip I can give you is to read the responses thoroughly and flash things which are highly appreciated by others. Like Temasek's KANGs. Another tip I can give you is: Just Try :D. As I said before you'll get the hang of it when your experienced.

[LG Optimus 2x] SREEPRAJAY:
please dont mind for the correction....it is normally suggested to do a backup from the recovery mode rather than the ROM manager....so u can do that from the recovery menu....

second, you perform the wipes-cache and user data first and then the Dalvik wipe at the last....reboot last

In some ROMs, you will have to complete the intial setup without which the HOME and SEARCH button might not work....then u might have to reflash the whole thing....so take care....I am not making any suggestion of any ROMs...it is ur feeling and satisfaction....u have to try....try by urself and judge...i have tried a few and settled for 0.5django EXT 4ROM and i am not stuck to it for sure....there are so many choices and developers are doing great work....so why stay fixed?

But. ENJOY urself...thts important
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
As far as you wipe everything the order doesn't matter.

Backup with ROM manager uses cwm do it's the same the only difference is that it will reboot after backup: loosing time.
