[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_burnanator:
I have way too much respect for xda to pollute it with stupid questions, but as a desperate noob at it for 4 hours, I can't find any other way to rectify my problem without humbly asking you guys for help..

So in short I decided to root a Galaxy S with odin to avoid all those crazy signature errors i've been getting doing it through the phone. After an initial root success I found that superuser was installed but not CWM. I then got lead onto another thread telling me to flash a kernel through recovery mode that would somehow give me CWM or something..

I went onto scoure this thread for a compatible kernel

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788108

But alas could not find the elusive "JP4." All 10 i've tried lead to bootloops. I decided to try again the initial rooting method I used (which gave me superuser and no CWM) but that too lead to bootloops or a still flash screen.

I can still go into recovery and download modes fine but cannot boot at all.

Your assistance would be much much appreciated

Men, be more specific: WHICH kernel, on WHICH ROM?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_burnanator:
Cheers for the reply matey. Its all good, I finally managed to finally track down the Aussie factory kernel I needed. That brought everything back nicely.

The Australian service provider Kernels should really be added to that big list

[G2 and Desire Z General] WTF?:
I wouldn't trade my G2 running G-Lite 2.0.1 for ANY phone no matter how new or how expensive, it just has no equal for reliability, dev support, classy looks and workmanship and a REAL hardware keyboard, not to mention it runs on the cheapest carrier by far - I pay $60 for unlimited everything, no contract! - including free tethering, portable wifi hotspot, wifi calling, etc with T-mo and no overage charges possible!

you can't get that deal for even $200/month with any other carrier in USA!

I hope everyone had a great holiday. I love my G2 as well, and I'm glad that this community is so active. I can only hope that when upgrade time comes, there will be a new HTC device with a hardware keyboard. I'm about 50/50 on keyboard usage, and I'm not sure how well I'd deal with out the hardware.

You have to adjust before recording, once recorded can not.

WTF its mean that this phone is crap
[LG Optimus 3D] EduardoGM:
This phone is starting. It is a wonder, bad programmers are LG, which are really bad, but not very noticeable because they have a great hardware.

But it is also true that others have years ahead.

Este telefono esta empezando. Es una maravilla, los malos son los programadores de LG, que son malos de verdad, pero no se nota mucho porque tienen un gran hardware.

Pero tambien es cierto que otros llevan años de ventaja. :cool:
[LG Nitro HD] blaineball:
Can someone upload the included hd video clips. I did a factory reset without realizing that those would be lost.

Thanks!
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
I want these back too. Can anybody pls upload them somewhere or point to us where we can download them again. At least I want the vancouver city one. But the other 2 r also very nice vids.
[LG Nitro HD] dnorthington:
Where do you access the videos?
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
It should be on the video folder of your sd card
[LG Nitro HD] netnerd:
dont know how you kids deleted it!

when you hard-reset your phone, it shouldnt be formating your 16gb microSD.

here it is. funny thing is this video format only playable on lg nitro.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Z83W58V5
[LG Nitro HD] blaineball:
thanks... downloading now.

hard reset maybe not, but a factory reset does format sd card... which was a surprise to me.
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
Which one is which?

Hard reset - hold voldown button together with power button during power on.

Factory reset - through settings -> privacy

If that's how you referr it to, then FR gives you an option if you want format SD or not, so there shouldn't be any surprises if one aware of their doing ;)

Thanks for the vids. I got my phone used, and didn't have any vids either.

P.S.

The reason they can only be played on Nitro, is because they are DRM protected.

P.P.S.

Awesome videos! Love timelapses, in fact just pre-oredered TimeScapes in 1440p format :)

P.P.P.S.

Did you notice they misspelled name Vancouver? HD_Vencouver_City_uncomp_f3 :)
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
No its most definitely Factory reset that deletes the SD card, which is retarded. Hard reset actually gives you the choice not to wipe the SD card, but factory reset reformats the folders on the SD card as well. I'd think they will skip on deleting the videos at least lol.
[LG Nitro HD] blaineball:
I used the voldown+power. did not expect it to format the sd card.
[LG Nitro HD] debugger919:
I took my sd card out before doing hard reset...
[LG Nitro HD] m0sf3t:
Regrettably, with all the drama on megaupload, this link no longer works. Would someone else be willing to provide a link for the vids?

I, too, lost the videos by my own doing. Thanks!

[LG Optimus 2x] honglee:
Hello guys,

I've got a very very big problem with my LG p990 Optimus 2X.

After I upgrade it to 2.3.4, I found it's VERY often to lost 3G signal and never try to reconnect back.

Every time when I found its signal dead, I found these is very good signal received in system status fields.

And my friend's HTC desire showed very good signal and had a very good performance about net speed.

I've removed most software but still no help.

Is anyone has the same problem?

If not, please tell me solution or system version you have in yours, thanks.

Below is details about my phone:

============================

Android version

2.3.4

Baseband version

1035.21_20110823

Kernel version

2.6.32.9-HP_2x_Xtreme_SR2

Build number

GRJ22

LGE Version

LGP990-V20e

=================================
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
i disabled 3g because the signal is always at 0-1 and sucks a ton of battery.

i tried almost all basebands an its always the same really bad signal and some disconnect entirely.

if you need 3g and are on stock i would return your device for repair... they probably just reflash it and dont repair it several times....
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Try disabling automatic time. Use app like clocksync from market to sync time.

When I'm on automatic time, every now and then I'll get disconnected from network and it won't restore till either I reboot or turn off automatic time.
[LG Optimus 2x] honglee:
Hi grognaz

I think it's not device bad, seems baseband problem.

Thanks temasek ,

I'll try to trun off automatic time sync and see if 3G work fine or not.
[LG Optimus 2x] Floating Point:
I'm facing the same problem, the phone have full bars and suddenly loses signal.

To make it worse, if I dont turn on/off airplane mode or reboot the phone, it remains out of reach.
[LG Optimus 2x] rodscom:
I have the same problem and this problem is increased when Wlan is On. When I turn it off, the signal comes again
[LG Optimus 2x] albertfann:
i got the same problem too, but this just happen on this few weeks after upgrade.

very bad LG ...
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Try another BB and always use a matching RIL.

You could try 725 - many are satisfied with it.

If you have a "made in korea" model use BB 824 (you'll find that info under the battery - more info here)
[LG Optimus 2x] chich_fuk:
I encountered the same problem, very disappointed. ve been waiting for the update long time........what should we do?The phone is not reliable right now, missed a lot of calls.........:(
[LG Optimus 2x] honglee:
Hello all,

I've tried to trun off automatic time adjust but of no use. My phone still disconnect very often.

Now I restore it to v10e baseband and v10e ROM, then update to FR19(v10c).

During these two days, no more disconnect happen again.

Though using smooth is important, but I think reliable is more important.

Hope this help.
[LG Optimus 2x] Floating Point:
I confirm that disabling automatic time won't solve the issue. The problem is very annoying, everytime the phone loses signal it's stay out of reach forever if you don't reboot or switch plane mode on/off.

Everyday when I park my car in a building garage or when I enter in a elevator my phone loses the signal (this is normal, heavy reinforced concrete buildings) and stay out of reach forever (this is not normal).

LG really screwed up on this one, this problem started after the last GB update.
[LG Optimus 2x] tomce5:
I have the same problem. When i get in a elevator i get no signal after i get out. The funny thing is, eve tho i cant make calls, i CAN receive calls in that state :).

When i check the phone status i see that i get signal strength readings, just unknown network and service state says "out of service".

Can anybody else receive calls in that state??
[LG Optimus 2x] backylasek:
i´m on modacos gr5...no problems
[LG Optimus 2x] hisham027:
If you are rooted try installing another ril preferably a froyo one using the app get ril to see if it solves the issue.
[LG Optimus 2x] CVonV:
had this problem on CM7.2 temasek build 23 (it would just completely lose signal randomly.. even if i'm in open space with full reception and airplane mode would be enabled and i can't disable it unless i reboot)

i seem to have fixed it by using GetRIL (725 V10d on 725BB).. my call quality is good according to the other end and my phone no longer goes into airplane mode.. but my signal still varies a lot. in my room it ranges from 0 bars to 4 bars on 3G/H
[LG Optimus 2x] Simongiar:
Same here, Very bad 3G signal, But no problem with calls or Edge, Just with 3G, Using Thanatos, HP kernell and 725 Baseband from v20M and v20o RIL.
[LG Optimus 2x] serke:
Same problem here

My O2x (P990) is also made in Korea (for Italian market) but doesn't work with either BB823 or BB824.

Automatic time is switched off.

I also tried v10d and v20l. I can use v20l but only when mobile data is set to GSM only (2G only). When using 3G I experience MUCH faster battery drain, like 5% per hour in standby with the screen turned off.

Note: I always use matching RILs and double-check with GetRIL.

I am running tomasek's CM7.2 KANG (thanks tomasek, good work!).

Is there a solution for using a made in Korea O2x made for Italian market on Croatian network carrier (T-Mobile) :D :rolleyes: ?
[LG Optimus 2x] vcarbajo:
This problem of signal loss, is it only the phones are made ​​in Korea?
[LG Optimus 2x] CVonV:
just to confirm that this didn't fix my disconnection issue.

i have tried these RILS:

# 0725 V10d Europe

# 0725 V10d Europe, V10e Asia

# 0725 V10e Russia

for my 1035.21_20110725 baseband.. and all of them still disconnect me completely from the network (goes into airplane mode) until i reboot
[LG Optimus 2x] CVonV:
hmm seems like turning off auto time sync has actually helped me.. i haven't had the no service issue in 2 days since turning it off
[LG Optimus 2x] iJonas:
I've just disabled 3g and that works just fine - Actually i alsodisabled clock sync because it sometimes ****ed....
[LG Optimus 2x] fai420:
I have the same problem as you guys and I'm trying to turn off the auto time sync to see whether it becomes better.

Moreover, did you ever think of the Network mode? the GSM / WCDMA only.

Would be get help?

I will come back tomorrow no matter the problem solved or not T^T
[LG Optimus 2x] kirabyte:
I have the same problem... I tried all basebands, this problem (for me) is only in Gingerbread roms. (sorry for my bad english).
[LG Optimus 2x] lefterakos:
download getril and use a compatible ril to your baseband. and everything will be fine :)
[LG Optimus 2x] fai420:
But I'm using the stock RIL / baseband...

I think it should be compatible, right?
[LG Optimus 2x] sushantp666:
Hi honglee

I used same stock version as u doin, its fine even better than cm7 in battery life. But I used it with stock kernel, no prob until now,but gets very slow after installing many apps,so now I moved to cm7 build 204 by kang used with stock kernel a bit drop in battery life say 10%. now I change the kernel with vadonka & testing battlife.

As urz phone specs is same as mine try some new rom may be that will solve ur issue, or if none of this work try LG customer care service. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] SREEPRAJAY:
If you are already in CM7, then try Temasek Kang CM7 with Vadonka.....this is a great ROM with so many great features and also stable, battery perf etc....check it....
[LG Optimus 2x] fai420:
Yo~~~~~~~~~ It seems my problem got fixed!!!

I would like to share what I have done. But I don't know why it works, haha~ :D

First, I'm using Stock v20e rom (Hong Kong LG 2x).

I have done three things yesterday.

1. Disable the clock sync in setting.

2. Change the Network mode to WCDMA only.

3. Install the FOTAKill.apk (extracted from CM7 gapps) to save more ram.

I really hope this would help all of you too. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] hei1125:
I recommend to use CM7 KANG to get better connection
[LG Optimus 2x] Luckycookies:
hi,

same promlem here to.... i use gsm and its stable, in wcdma he crash.

tested all bb with related ril.

if someone have any idea pls let me know.

thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] adam.eno:
I'm having the same problem with stock gingerbread 2.3.4. Most times only a phone restart fixes it. I'm on LGE version 20l.
[LG Optimus 2x] Wadka:
To all custom rom users. It is not recommended to change the RIL of a custom rom, because mostly the rom and the ril were made to work together. Rather than change the RIL change your Baseband to according to what RIL you have. Cyanomod runs RIL 0218 and it's recommended to use the 0218 Baseband.

So if you have a 0725 RIL install a 0725 Baseband.

Note: Most users say that the 0218 saves more Battery. Some say that the 0725 has better speech quality.
[LG Optimus 2x] Luckycookies:
i used stock v10b\c\d\e tried all ... there is changes between them with the location? i think that i tried almost everything. i flashed stock one after another and i got the same problem with every stock.

i can use 2g without any problem but when i put on wcdma he crash after a min... i have to say that in this minute that he work.. he surf without any problem. i checked with the network provider and added apn manualy.

still same disconnect , tested other provider sim and its the same.

the fruency is compatible , tested a lot of bb with related ril's but same same. my phone is optimus 2x made in korea version.

android 2.3.4

bb 0725

kernel 2.6.32.9

build grj22

lge version- lgp990-v20l

donate for rescuer... :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Wadka:
If nothing worked, it must be the hardware. Go and contact lg for a new device
[LG Optimus 2x] Luckycookies:
how it can be hardware if 2g work? its the same antenna no? i bought it not from lg .. icant fix it by myself???? i have tooo :/
[LG Optimus 2x] Peew:
Same here!

Hi,

I experience the exact same problem after the LG gb update, then i still had original rom but i thougt i´d try with cm7 before i gave up. But after 2 days with cm7 today it happened again.

Should´nt be software cause i´ve tried both stock rom and cm7 kang.

Guess its time to return the phone :(
[LG Optimus 2x] Wadka:
I don't know maybe the phone has a 2g and a 3g chip just like the Iphone 4. And maybe one of yours is broken.

I don't know how things are in your country but here in Germany you get two warranties.

One from the shop you bought in (2 years by law). So that you can give it back if it breaks and you get a new one or repaired one.

And one by the manufacturer (LG) usually 2 years as well.

I bought mine on ebay so I had no shop warranty since it was a private action. But I contacted LG and with the IMEI number I still got support and my broken phone got repaired.(Vibration didn't work)
[LG Optimus 2x] vcarbajo:
I have the same problem...

Do you think that's a hardware problem???
[LG Optimus 2x] p270:
I have the same problem with stock gingerbread 2.3.4.:mad:
[LG Optimus 2x] JimmyLeeBillyBob:
I've had the exact same issues. I've had them through all ROMs (custom/stock/baseband/RIL doesn't matter). I figured it must the hardware so I RMAed the device. Guess what: LG said there's nothing wrong with it. So, here I am out 500 bucks and nothing to show for it. I bought a new (cheap) phone which does all the things I need a phone to do. Needless to say, this will have been my last LG device.
[LG Optimus 2x] joseignaciobp:
me too

No more LG

anyway, I think it's software
[LG Optimus 2x] ronmq:
The same problem here. It is very frustrating
[LG Optimus 2x] Peew:
Hi,

Tested the tip and switched to wcdma only and turned off 3G and ut seems to be working.

I also changed my mail refresh interval to 5minutes to force connection so im not sure what Made the difference? Anyway now im back with 3g to see if the mail refreshrate did the trick.
[LG Optimus 2x] arki82:
According to the LG support this problem is known and they are working on a fix. I just got this message today (sorry german):
[LG Optimus 2x] strollaco:
to me it's the same with all the roms Gingerbread, and I need to prove Cyanogen and MIUI.

---------- Post added at 02:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 PM ----------

I forgot to say I'm from Spain and my operator is Simyo.
[LG Optimus 2x] JimmyLeeBillyBob:
That's exactly what LG told me on the phone when I first asked for a fix/replace. That was about May 2011. Since then there have been 2 updates (I believe) and this problem still isn't fixed. That's why I RMAed my device in the first place (which didn't help either).
[LG Optimus 2x] forforce:
I have the problem too but if the signal is lost it comes back again. Can this be fixed?
[LG Optimus 2x] adam.eno:
Anyone tried resetting the phone? I was just wondering if this could help since it seems to be a software related problem and only some people are experiencing it?
[LG Optimus 2x] vladutz9:
How reseting?
[LG Optimus 2x] hebn:
I have tried "Factory data reset" a couple of times but it keeps losing the signal :mad:
[LG Optimus 2x] nothingtotalk:
If I'm not wrong, it has to do with the baseband and RIL but you need root. Try to change to one that's working for you. I'm using 824 BB and a matching RIL from getril.
[LG Optimus 2x] gasgasgas:
I have the same problem ,since 1 year or so ( screw lg that is just good for hoovers and fridges).

The problem happens randomly, usually after a short time of signal loss. In my case after getting home because where i park my car i don't have signal.

When i lose the signal this way i can't get it back without rebooting. I use an app called tasker that has this variable: %CELLSRV that can have these values: unknown, service, noservice, emergency, nopower

If you read that variable during this absebce of signal i get : NOPOWER. That should be airplane mode
[LG Optimus 2x] adam.eno:
I was thinking of a hard-reset? Anyone tried that?
[LG Optimus 2x] vladutz9:
I would like to try other baseband but how my fuxxing phone don´t connect with the pc with the cable i am in the air and i can´t do nothing. Very bad for LG he can do so much with his smartphone but with this problem who will buy from them anymore????
[LG Optimus 2x] unfugor:
i had the exact same problems, and i think its due to faulty hardware in some cases, in mine it was, at least that's what i think. i spend like two or three months debugging this issue. first of all, there is a good app for checking the connection in the market: https://market.android.com/details?id=net.jeremychase.ConnectionChecker&hl=en , i think you have to donate to get the notification support but even without it it helps a lot because it will automatically switch on airplane mode when the phone disconnects.

anyway, with my phone and carrier this happened a lot and since drei/three austria uses umts only i missed a lot of calls while being disconnected from 3g but the phone still showed network in the notification bar. i tried all kinds of basebands, rils and in the end i installed the official carrier rom via nvflash and made an update to the then final version (gb 2.3.4 if i remember correctly). when all of that did not help i sent my phone in for a replacement, but they shipped me the same phone, albeit downgraded to froyo. i thought ok, lets try that and faced the same issue, so i sent it back again, but the guys at the shop told me that lg always tries to fix these problems via software updates so i sent it in again just to bug lg and because the guy in the shop said at the third time sometimes the hardware gets replaced. then i got my phone back, this time running gingerbread and bb 725, and it still shows the same imei. i thought ok, good for me, whatever they did, it works now. i went on to flash cm and ril 725 because i did not want to mess with the bb and everything works perfect ever since.

but as i am a curious person i could not stop wondering how they fixed it so i watched my phone and after feeling that it never got as hot as before, even when 3g coverage was very bad i started comparing the (felt) temperature of my unit with a friends optimus2x (same network, same bb/ril and cm version) and we both felt that mine was colder every time we tested it. so i think they replaced my modem hardware or even my mainboard, but i cannot be sure. anyway i will never buy an android product by lg, as there support stinks, their android builds are laggy crap and they take forever to upgrade them.

omg i think this is my longest post ever, but this phone really bugged me and i hope my experience can help some of you.

one problem still persists for me, sometimes after a reboot my phone does not connect to data, nothing fixes that but a reboot, is that fixable?

I had the same problem: after signal loss, the signal wouldn't just come up, I had to reboot. I was on MIUI (CM7) with BB725. I've downgraded the BB to 218 and the problem is gone.

Remember that CM7/MIUI are written based on BB218. With the stock Froyo roms I've never had a problem, never tried the GB stock roms though.

Edit: have someone tried to put BB218 (and RIL of course) on stock GB rom?
[LG Optimus 2x] JimmyLeeBillyBob:
This made me curious, so I dug out my p990 and installed the 20q ROM and the FD patch in your link. I have not had a signal loss yet. I will test it for another couple of days. I don't want to get my hopes up just yet. Btw. I'm using BB725 with RIL 725 that came with the 20q ROM.
