[LG Nitro HD] machoman1337:
I bought a Canadian Optimus LTE P930 unlocked off ebay. I have no idea which carrier it was originally locked to (most likely either Bell or Telus). It came with Gingerbread, and I immediately rooted and installed CM10 M2 snapshot. My carrier is Fido (subsidiary of Rogers) and my Fido sim card worked on Gingerbread, and was working on CM10 until just now. When it was working, it showed up as Rogers rather than Fido, but that's not unusual for custom ROMs.

After seeing some suggestions that changing the baseband could help with the random reboot problem on CM10, I went to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1842763 and proceeded to try out the AT&T V18f baseband (from http://www.mediafire.com/?nniz00g7c7b3p). I installed the zip through CWM (I have the latest, 6.0.something).

After rebooting, my phone was completely unable to access the cellular network! I tried manually connecting to Rogers from the settings menu - no dice. I tried locking the phone in 2G mode and then reconnecting - no luck. Then I went back to that mediafire link and tried out every single baseband with the exception of P936 ones, and still no luck.

Finally I tried reinstalling CM10 from scratch (full wipe and everything) and still no dice even after trying all of the above again. I even reset APN settings to default.

I have not tried downgrading back to stock gingerbread (actually, I can't even find the ROM, other than in the Unbricking guide). I hope I won't have to end up buying an unlock code for a phone that came unlocked in the first place.

Due to my own stupidity, I did not take note of what the baseband was on my phone before I tried flashing a new one, so I really don't know which baseband is supposed to be working. I fear that this baseband experiment ended up re-locking my phone or something.

I have tried my Fido SIM in my other phones and it works, no problem.

Does anyone know what I can do? Thanks for any possible help.
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
That sucks that you are having a problem with the basebands. Lots of people have been using my zips and literally no one has reported any issue with them before, so it seems very strange that it would have caused something weird to happen on your phone.

I will say that I haven't had a chance to test the zips yet with the new version of CWM (6.0.1.5). Probably the first thing I'd try is downgrading CWM to 5.8.2.0 just because I really have no other idea why you'd be having that problem. Maybe someone else can chime in and let me know if the zips are working properly with 6.0.1.5 so we can rule that out as a possibility, but in the meantime it's something easy to try.

To downgrade, open ROM Manager, and scroll down to the very last option from the main menu. Select 5.8.2.0 and it will flash it for you. After that, reboot to recovery and try flashing one of the basebands again.

I just tested it with CWM 6.0.1.5 and it worked properly on my phone, so I don't think this is the cause of the problem.
[LG Nitro HD] machoman1337:
I have just tried using the P936 basebands, and they did not work.

With every baseband I tried, my phone can detect that Rogers, Bell, and Telus networks exist (the latter two show up as a weird number on P936 basebands) if I use 3G mode, but can't connect to a single one. If I toggle 2G-only mode, it only detects the Rogers network, and still cannot connect. This is the behavior you'd expect from using a foreign SIM in a network-locked phone. From this, I think I can conclude that both the phone's radio chip and my SIM card are in working condition.

From what I have read, baseband flashing should not affect the network lock on a phone right?

If I can't find any alternative, I'm going to have to use the unbricking guide to downgrade to Gingerbread, which I hope not to do as it's a lot of time wasted, and I honestly don't even know if it'll solve the problem.

edit: to add, I don't have an LTE sim card (was planning to get one later this week) so all attempts to connect to a network are only 3G and 2G,
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
I don't know because I haven't ever had any reason to unlock my device.

Unless it has changed since the last time I tried it, CM9 and CM10 do not have support for unlocking your phone in the case that it is locked (but will work fine if the phone is already unlocked). Let's assume for the moment that your phone still works fine, but was relocked by installing a new baseband for whatever reason. If that's the case, then you must install one of the LG official ROMs in order to unlock the device again.

You don't actually need to unbrick though. I'd suggest that you take the system and boot images from the unbricking guide, push them to the device using adb, then force reboot the phone -- that way you won't lose CWM in the process.
[LG Nitro HD] machoman1337:
Yeah that's true, pretty much all custom ROMs don't have the SIM unlock feature and that's fine. I am assuming my seller on ebay just entered the unlock code on stock Gingerbread before shipping it (at least that's what I would have done).

I guess I'll flash on an official ROM tonight. Do you know where I can find a CWM-flashable stock GB ROM? The unbricking guide looks pretty darn complicated and I would prefer not to spend too much time on this, since my phone isn't bricked.

edit: Let's pretend for the moment that flashing stock GB will solve the problem and restore network access. Is there a way I could back up the baseband afterwards?
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
I can make one fairly easily, give me a moment... Edit: nevermind, it will take forever to upload it.

Here's what you can do:

Download system and boot images from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1597488

Then from either terminal emulator or adb shell, do this:

su
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8
dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p27

Then force shut off the phone (remove battery or hold power button for long time), and before you let it boot up, go to CWM (by powering the phone holding the volume down button) and do a factory reset from CWM, then reboot the phone normally and you should be in business.
[LG Nitro HD] machoman1337:
Thanks a lot for your help, drumist. I am downloading the files now and trying my luck! Be back with the results later.
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
Oh, one other thing. I'd go ahead and flash the Bell v11a baseband before you do anything else. That's probably the one you want to use with that phone, and you don't want to flash another baseband after unlocking (at least, that seems to be the case).
[LG Nitro HD] machoman1337:
Got the stock AT&T Gingerbread ROM running - and the first message I got was asking for a SIM network unlock PIN!

Looks like flashing the baseband indeed re-locked my phone (I didn't think this was even possible).

edit: Called my ebay seller and got the unlock code that he'd used before sending me the phone. All is well!

thanks drumist for saving me a lot of time with your "simplified steps".
[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
This is all very strange because I also have an unlocked p930 but flashing new base bands has done nothing to affect my unlock.
[LG Nitro HD] machoman1337:
Yeah, a lot of sites say unlocks are permanent due to how they affect hardware switches. Well, half an hour later I'm finally back on CM10 with network enabled.
[LG Nitro HD] machoman1337:
Just tried flashing the V18f baseband from AT&T. This time it didn't affect my network.

Weird...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinylgruve:
I've got a locked r800at that is rooted and has CWM on it. Is it possible to flash a ROM with a stock kernel to this or is it absolutely necessary to get the bootloader unlocked?

Is it possible to unlock the bootloader myself using the SETool and whatever else needs to be done?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spatinator:
There are some Roms that dont need a custom kernel like Gin2jb, but teyre based on stock 2.3.4. For ICS/GB Roms youll need to unlock your bootloader, because they require a custom kernel to run.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinylgruve:
as for unlocking the bootloader goes. is it possible to do oneself? i've read everywhere that people go to other sites and have them do it. i've downloaded the necessary software in case i go that route, but i've also seen that people have done it on their own (maybe?)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkharbinger81:

Im the one of fxp's fans. So, I think I should try this rom coz its look great!

Thanks :p. I'll post the review soon.

Not a problem! Glad that someone wants to use it :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] LindaCento:
checking

first look very optimistic :D

one bug found: once by once popup window with words "music inf. was unfortunately closed" .. or something like that (i'll edit, when next time its popup)

edit: it says "Unfortunately, app download.inf about music was stopped"
[Xperia Arc Android Development] derms:
This seems easier and already has the walkman app, will flash acid mod and change launcher to xperia and Iwill be sorted - no need to work out fixes etc. cheers
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JackJoeR:
Ah yes, I'm aware of this one, I just need to delete a file as the download music info doesn't work, I'll either have to delete it or find a fix for it :) thanks for the feedback! I was debating making it Aroma with options for things such as launchers and keyboards and music players

Temporary fix for the music inf. is to go into Apps in settings, then swipe across to all and then disable "Download music info"
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JackJoeR:
Thanks :) I appreciate the feedback

Notice to all :

I will update with fixes for bugs built in as soon as possible once FXP 143 is out :)!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] LindaCento:
Is good in this moment - everything I need works properly and quite fast for me :good:

I think I'll stay on this compilation for now
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rossoneri_forever:
this looks promising..i will wait for the next version when the bugs will be fixed.

CyanoBean V2 released!

CyanoBean V2 released!

I'm not sure about using dev-host - the upload time was ridiculous and I don't think the download speeds amazing - will probably switch again for V3

Obviously I released an update before FXP 143 came out - that's because it's not going to come out, so I figured I'd just release a bug-free version :)

If Fusion kernel does not work with YouTube playback, please let me know so I can change built-in WiFi modules back to LuPuS and also change the recommended kernel section - thanks!

Feedback is welcome! :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] prosttyle:
i'm currently using CM10 and i like how smooth it is, but sometimes is just a pain, everything become sooo slow and it's terrible, i have to reboot the phone so i can come back to the Smooth CM10 that i like, are u experiencing this in your ROM?

PS: Downloading while backup my Apps/data
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JackJoeR:
I'm not gonna lie, I'm not sure if I'll continue to work on this rom, as although CM10 is smooth, you're right to say that it slows down, I'm also having awful battery life, no matter what rom I use, whether someone can confirm the battery life on this rom?

This rom removes Trebuchet which I believe is quite ram intensive in comparison to Apex,

It also removes a lot of other files which may or may not affect speed, but yeah, I might go back to stock sony soon, depending on feedback of this rom, if its good then I'll stay :)

You could try supercharging this rom, if you do, please let me know how well it works as I could install it by default

- Jack
[Xperia Arc Android Development] prosttyle:
Ok, i'm now testing your ROM which i find more atractive than the FXP142 stock one since i didnt like at all the deafult launcher, i prefer much more the Apex one included.

Everything is smooth now, i'm testing gaming with Temple run at first and i must say that the first time i opened it, the game started lagging a LOT, i think it was like 3 fps max. After 25 minutes i tested again with my Battery Saver settings (364-1200mhz InteractiveX, SIO) and it ran flawlessly, very smooth. This setting got 3700 points in AnTuTu and the 1,4Ghz OnDemand, Deadline got 4,6k points which i think is huge.

i've now charged my phone to 100% and i'm gonna test battery + daily use tomorrow :)

Cheers
[Xperia Arc Android Development] LindaCento:
Is necessary install v2? Much fixed? :)

When I decide to do it - is full wipe needed? I'm on v1 now.

Battery is not bad in my opinion- normal use - 13 hours till 28% when I plug charger and go to sleep ;)

second.. I don't know is that bug or there is something with my contacts app.. when I set individual ringtone for contact, phone is ringing default ringtone ever... I spend about one hour on that yesterday, and didn't fix it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JackJoeR:
Whilst it's not necessary, it's recommended :) no data wipe is needed, but it will format your system partition,

V2 is essentially bug free from what I can tell and so I do recommend updating however there's not much change (check the change log) so if you're happy on V1 then stay there :),
[Xperia Arc Android Development] LindaCento:
Haha :o I missed that point on first post ;)

So.. that bugs don't bother me, I don't listen to music from phone.

hmmm... but... maybe evening... (my girfriend will kill me.. at least once flash a week )

But I'll be happy to enjoy next builds if You decide to release :good:

Thanks

aaah..you convinced me to flash.I'm enyoing :highfive:

Here are some battery reports:

First day: it drained 19% over night 8 hours. Apparently the Email app K9 was waking up my phone every 15 minutes. Wifi On!.

During the day i just used it to read PDF like 30 minutes, play like 20 minutes, 10 minutes call, tapatalk, Talk, Wathsapp active, mostly tapatalk. well at the end of the day i ended up with ~20% Battery 20 Hours since the last complete charge.

Performance was really good, except the usual problems with CM10 (random super lag/freeze for several minutes until u kill everything!),

Today: 4% drain over Night that's 10 hours :) Wifi/data off.

So far the best Governos and i/o is InteractiveX/Sio overnight.

During the day i will be using Smartassv2 and SIO 368-1200mhz and check whats up :)

You may want to try Stock FXP kernel, or LuPuS - I'm currently experimenting, but so far Fusion seems to work I recommend that one, however choose what ever you like, and if it doesn't work, just use Fusion)

Camera fix

Here is the camera fix, it was done really quickly, and only offers 5MP and I'm unsure if video recording works

It's LegacyCamera.apk (and the installer takes way too long as it sorts out way too many permissions :) )

SO

I cannot stress how much I recommend you get Camera ICS instead from the PlayStore

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moblynx.cameraics

Then use the AdBlock app that comes with this rom to make the app AdFree- this will give you 720p recording, AND 8MP photos, no noticeable bugs so far
[Xperia Arc Android Development] LindaCento:
If You got "titanium backuped" previous rom you can restore ics camera with that.
