Looks really nice and is the closest to samsungs touchwiz ui I have seen yet! Unfortunately I am a noob so I cant test out the rom and will wait until stable version comes out.

Just out interest, is the spanish rom better than the N and O versions?

Also, are you going to make the other apps like touchwiz (music, video, camera, messaging, browser, calender calculator)?

Thanks

LG P970: Upgrading to Android 4.0.4 and Rooting

Published on April 29th, 2013 by Hypn. Filed under Android

As mentioned in a previous blog post, I have an LG P970 Android phone… unfortunately LG have taken a while rolling out updates. At the time of writing this post the official software still thinks Android 2.2 is is the latest version available – as it turns out, that’s only for South Africa… some other regions have (“official”) software updates to Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich).

See this link for a list of official downloads: http://www.lg-phones.org/official-stock-lg-optimus-black-firmware-rom.html - note the “V20″ or “V30″ in the URLs/filenames. The “V10″ is the original software that comes on the phone (Android 2.2), “V20″ is Android 2.3.4, and “V30″ is Android Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.4). Depending on the country heading you look under, “V30″ might not be listed. In my case, South Africa, only V10 and V20 are available, and end with the letter “E” – I thought this might be important (and that I could only use other “E” software versions), but it seems to not be as I was able to update with “V30B” and everything seems to be working fine.

Here’s how you upgrade to Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) :

Download “LG United Mobile Driver” from http://www.lg.com/au/support-mobile/lg-Optimus-Black-P970 (my mirror)

Download a “V30B” file (see link above) – I believe I used http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/LGP970/ANEUTL/V30b_00/V30B_00.kdz (from the “Europe Open” section)

Download “LG-P970 ROM Converter” from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1692191 (my mirror) to the same folder

Download “SmartFlashTool_External” (my mirror)

Install the LG drivers

Run ”LG-P970 ROM Converter” – choose not to patch with CWR (none of my attempts worked)

Turn off your P970 phone, ensure it’s unplugged from your computer, hold down the Volume+ button, and plug it in to your computer (you should see a “Software Update” page)

Extract and run “SmartFlash” (B_SmartFlashTool_Extern.exe)

Click on the “ROM Copy D/L” tab (top of the application)

Select the “CP bin” file (LGP970_V30B_00_CP.fls)

Select the “AP bin” file (LGP970_V30B_00_AP.bin)

The “COM Port” and “Communication Driver” should auto-select, otherwise you’ll have to try changing these until it works

Click “Start”… and wait for a loud sound of an annoying voice to play when it finishes

If all went okay, your phone should start up in to Ice Cream Sandwich.

To root the phone:

Download “UnlockRoot Pro” from http://www.unlockroot.com/download.html (“Free Download”)

Install it (Custom/Advanced) – make sure you untick the browser toolbar plugin options and click CANCEL when you get the popup message (read it, clicking “OK” installs them anyway), and untick the “lyrics” installation option

Enable USB Debugging on your phone (System -> Developer Options -> USB Debugging (at the top)

Run UnlockPro and click “Root” – wait for it to select your phone, then click on it, let it restart your phone and you should be done

[EVO 4G Android Development] Omatter4:
I flashed this and finally got the language changed to english after navigating the chinese.

One thing right off the bat, after changing the language to english, that is not working is the keyboard. It does not pop up when i enter into a text field and when i try to go back into the language and keyboard system settings, I keep getting FC's...

EDIT: Reboot solved issue. Still some Miscellaneous Chinese text throughout, but not too bad.

So far the search button isn't working and holding the power button is working as it is supposed to. Also like mentioned before, the MMS isn't working. Besides that, everything else works fine and it's very smooth.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonayie2:
i've been following his chinese blog and using this for a while. the mms does works, but you have to edit your build prop and apn to fit your location and carrier (also so the Android market won't think that you're from China). I really wanna thank "baji"/octupule again for this. this was an absolute god-send to me.

I'm on sprint and what i use is attached. My mms recieve doesn't work for me, but then again it doesn't work on sense roms for me either. It might only be fixable on Sprint's side, in my case. But i can definitely send!

*Also the search button does work, you need to go to button settings in the settings. There should be an option under media button that refers to the search button. The deal now is that the search button is now a multi-function button but it's default is set to "none". But you absolutely absolutely must NOT flash the third link on the page, or you will lose your search button capability entirely. Also long pressing the search button will launch the camera app.

3G is fine.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbreloaded:
I have heard a lot of talk about an emmc bug affecting stock Ice Cream Sandwich builds realeased by Samsung. THe general consensus seems to be that it is not safe to wipe/factory reset the stock Samsung ICS roms.

The question I have is do we know if the recent UK region ICS update (XXXLQ2) is affected by the emmc bug?

Can anyone confirm that if they factory reset after upgrading to LQ2 ICS that they bricked their phone or that it was a successfull wipe?

I can confirm that i have factory reset my phone successfullu after installing LQ2 update although my phone has problems caused by this update - random reboots, crashes to the homescreen, screen going black and buttons not responding etc. Could these problems be caused by the emmc bug?

I look forward to your replies, i know there are geniuses on this forum who can enlighten us. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Belfia:
We wont know if its affected until someone reports a brick.

But I would guess its still affected by the emmc bug.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasmodo:
As Entropy says in his PSA:

"All ICS official releases for the Samsung Galaxy Note (GT-N7000) as of late May 2012 - This includes XXLPY, ZSLPF, and DXLP9, and future kernels should be assumed affected until further notice."
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbreloaded:
So the bug is in offical releases?

SO this bug is in the official releases that you can install via kies?

Will Samsung patch this bug?

Surely they must be aware of it since the number of bricks going to the service centers must be rising astronomically. If we are aware of it how can they not be when they have tested many devices at factory?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyperken:
Better hold on to gb then rushing to ics with emmc bug. Wait for awhile until some one found a solution. Or else you will stuck like me with no gb backup to revert back.:)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasmodo:
No, that brick was not caused by the LQ2 kernel; it happened because the guy had used an ancient updater script for his Rom.

Contrary to beliefs I have had no issues on my Indian ROM ICS.

I too have the LQ2 update and would also like to know if this is also affected by the brickbug i have not done a factory reset and currently have no issues with my phone. I do not intend on doing a factory reset until i know that Samsung have fixed the issue.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Belfia:
Well, you might aswell count on beeing affected. But if you dont need to factory reset then everytging is fine.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreww88:
Run the "GotBrickBug" app by Chainfire under the Themes/Apps section and see what firmware you have.

More than likely the LQ2 ROM still has the faulty MMC_CAP_ERASE code because Samsung hasn't admitted to the problem at all yet.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Final5k:
I initially update by Kies to LQ2 and had random homescreen force close, black screen,green dots on the screen, apps freezing...etc. Done a factory reset, then downgraded to GB UK, factory reset again, downloaded the LQ2 Firmware via Check FUS PC version and flashed ICS LQ2 using ODIN PC and everything is running smooth. No bugs to report after more than 1 week.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krypton_the_slayer:
I'm afraid this is not correct! Its a bug in stock ICS kernels (or other ICS based kernels that are not specifically modified) that enable the eMMC erase command.

Some custom ICS based kernels now have this command disabled. But as for now, it is considered unsafe to flash or specifically full (data) wipe from any stock ICS ROM (some ICS ROMs do a full wipe when flashed!). It is still statistically a rare event, but the only way to be 100% sure safe is to flash from a GB based kernel, such as Abyss 4.2 kernel.

Samsung is working on a "fix" for the faulty firmware in the emmc chips but what this fix will be is unknown.

It has been reported that, unrooted, on a Stock ICS ROMS (and hence stock kernel) has super-bricked after doing a factory reset.

You may be able to do a full wipe/reset/custom ICS kernel ROM and not suffer any immediate ill effects but the bug can manifest itself at a later date.

If you really want to get the bug, the best way would be to fill up your internal memory, then do a factory wipe, rinse and repeat!

GB kernels don't use the erase command, so are totally safe.

So to summarise, it is not safe to factory reset on LQ2 UK rom! Samsung have not yet issued a fix!

EDIT: Wow, its even more complicated than above lol!

See here for updates and the first sign of a fix!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfratella:
With news that AT&T will be bringing the S3 to the states this month, it prompts this question.

I currently have an international i9100 and love it. If I were to get the S3 via AT&T (at the subsidized price) would I be able to root, flash, and do anything "good" with it? Or would I be an indentured servant to AT&T?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sir-Awesome:
AT&T locked the bootloader of HTC One X so I'm not really sure if they'll let you use it freely.

But then people found a way to unlock the bootloader so I think even if AT&T locked it, people would find a way around it.

And you'd also get 4G LTE, 2GB RAM but a Snapdragon S4 processor.

The S4 seems promising but it's only dual core.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkeaver:
AT&T has yet to make it so you cant root a samsung device. The locked bootloader is common with HTC devices so I wouldnt go off of that but I have had the S1 the S2 and the Note and all has been unlocked with little to no issues.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfratella:
I spoke with a customer care rep in the executive's office today and was told the bootloader is going to be locked.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z0phi3l:
Of course they will say that, whether or not it's true is another story, and like mentioned it won't really matter if it is or isn't
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfratella:
Thanks. Once I get it I'll be back in here to get some direction with it. I'm fine with dealing with the international unlocked versions, but never tried anything with a carrier branded device.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkeaver:
We will just have to wait and see... I don't believe much customer care says.. Hell

l the one i talked to didn't even know about the pre order starting yesterday.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tg9413:
Never actually heard of any samsung phone from at&t shipped with locked bootloader. Mostly is HTC phones, and they are known to do that even on unsubsidized phone till a while ago after getting bash from the android community.

and imo, the only real advantage to get a branded phone is you get easy warranty. if you bricked your phone for good during a flash or there is some problem with display, you can just walk in and get a replacement in seconds. LTE or not, or the 2GB ram, I dont think it's going to matter that much in daily use unless u use ur phone as a hot spot or something.

As far as development goes... usually international version is always better, may not be so obvious back in the galaxy S days since most of the US variant are still using the same backbone with minor variation. But ever since the S2 that need snapdragon to support LTE.... development pace kinda forked from there.

The best home launcher for any phone is the stock itslef. :). It is rock stable and specially designed for your phone.

Anyways, other than that, for a simple launcher you can try Zeam Launcher. And also ADW launcher for extra added features.

Also, you can look into the Xperia S home launcher ported for mdpi devices, by serjar.
