how to download please ?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] srbellix:
Hello xda community!

So I got bored yesterday and dug out my old LG Optimus P506 to see how it'd look ICS'd. But, unfortunately, I ran into a problem. I don't know if this is just a case of unfortunate timing or the result of my doing something wrong in the install process. The problem is after the first boot screen the color depth drops to 256 colors. I've tried searching the forums, there may be a related problem but nothing turns up with reduced screen colors/depth (meaning sorry for repost if it is) any help is appreciated!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gabo_lope:
http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/PgSWzbsMOQw/2.jpg

Is it something like this?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] srbellix:
Sorry, can't tell from the image (it's too small) But the colors are in heavy green hue, large pixel clusters... dunno if it's relevant to you or not but similar to how win95/98 looked without vga drivers.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gabo_lope:
Ok.. I know what are you referring... The thing is that the p500, and p506 has different display drivers, so you need to install a kernel for the p506,,

Just one more question are you having cellular signal?

Check your PM's
[Optimus One, P500, V General] srbellix:
Cell reception is a no-go as far as I can tell. I haven't had service on it for a few months, when I started fiddling with the rom was the first time the phone had been turned on in quite a while. I'll look into it some more later and see what I can figure out. Thanks again for the help!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gabo_lope:
Well, if you want signal, you need to flash this http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?n4qb1oqpvhkdldp
[Optimus One, P500, V General] post-mortem:
The OldBBFix is needed because your LG Thrive (P506) was never issued an update to the newer baseband (v20). Only ROMs built for the old baseband (OBB) will be able to communicate with the cellular radio. Flashing that .zip circumvents this problem. The display driver issue can indeed be fixed by flashing a kernel for your phone. Go here and spend some time poking around. Look for a kernel for the P506.

Or, you can PM _Arjen_.

Kind of a silly law eh?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyco2008:
Nothing new, this is all over the place, namely Gizmodo and Engadget.

I for one will be ignoring this "law" should I ever find myself with a GSM phone...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sshede:
Nobody cares. End of the day, just kind of do it anyway and I guarantee nothing will ever, ever happen to you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Yeah there's absolutely no way they can reinforce this law. Unless they're going to declare a Nexus device illegal because it is "unlocked" -_-

The government needs to back off with what they're trying to do with all these tech laws. Obviously making laws to restrict cell phones is more important than fixing the government's budget, debt, foreign and national policies, education :eek:

You care enough to make a reply to this thread? So it's obviously a big deal for you. Nothing will happen, but it's just funny to see what the law is trying to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M3drvr:
I'd like to see them enforce this law. What they gonna do? Throw us in jail if we unlock the thing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyco2008:
Well I remember when rooting and jailbreaking were declared legal in like 2006, whoopdy doo, you mean we can do whatever we want with our devices? Same situation now in that, legal or no, people will continue doing it.

Similar example: hackintoshing. It's illegal in that Apple can sue you for it, but they don't care about small people doing it, suing middle class or even lower class citizens for pennies on the dollar in a joke of a claim will only waste their money on legal fees and set a bad rep for picking on customers (hackintoshers often buy Magic Mice, Track pads, OSX itself and other Apple hardware/software for their setups).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sshede:
Yeah, taking twenty seconds to reply to a thread obviously makes it a big deal for me. Alright, I'll partake in the circlejerk.

omg like lol but they let apple phones be jailberken. American law so ridiculluss.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Huh.. i bought mine unlocked. What i think it's silly is carriers having it blocked in the first place.

Exactly, good thing is it's illegal for carriers to sim lock phones in my country.

Beamed from my Grouper.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thos25:
Interesting that it says you can't even rip a CD if you are going to play it on a device without an optical drive. So will iTunes stop letting you rip CD' s to your iTunes account. Or will they let you rip it but block you from putting those songs onto your iPod, (or any other mp3 player).

If they do let me, and I ever got arrested, I'd try to get the DA to charge Apple as an accessory to the crime for not blocking me from doing it lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zero_Lord:
Very funny, like megaupload thing and S.O.P.A.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
Carrier unlocked and bootloader unlocked are two different things.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MikeyMike01:
Even though I don't unlock my phone ever, this is silly. Aren't there more important things they should be concerning themselves with?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dedraks:
Here in Brazil, every phone is sold unlocked. And if we get a locked one, the carrier may unlock it for free.

Actually is illegal to sell locked phones.

So all of those roms in your signature, you have never flashed?

Not what this thread is about.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrianDigital:
So now I'll also feel the same heat from the fuzz about backing up my blue rays and DVDs to my htpc
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
The quote in the OP is referring to SIM unlocking not bootloader unlocking.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] withbloodskies:
Well.. if this is the truth I'd be in jail for some time then :D

Stupid ****ing law if it were to pass. Not sure how they'd catch you.. I'd buy anything Google related anyway. Think America needs to worry about other issues besides gadgets. If I had the money to spend on a E-Flasher my ps3 would be down graded right now.

How dare you try to tell me what I can't and can do with MY device 'I' bought from you. If you want control over the product then **** you. I'll find something that don't want control and allow me to do whatever.

Just me though..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maestro12345:
People need to start being more proactive about voting some of these politicians out of office. Enough with sopa, pipa, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abnah:
In Germany there are no laws concerning that issue. However I assume that nobody cares, locked phones are (at least in Germany) usually sold with 2 year contracts - you can't get out of them (without paying a fine), so the carrier should give a sh*t on whether you use the services you pay for, or you pay twice to use other services.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] menglim:
I want to translate android framework into my language. but no luck.

Using apk

1- apktool.bat if framework-res.apk (I copy from /system/framework)

2- apktool.bat d framework-res.apk

3- I edit string.xml in framework-res/res/value/string.xml (saved)

4- apktool.bat b framework-res newapk.apk

5- then I repack again (signing, zipalign)

replace newapk.apk (renamed framework-res.apk) to /system/framework-res.apk

I was also try to set permission 777 and the same permission to the old one.

but still no luck.

Is there something wrong?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedyjay:
You could always install a language pack....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Striatum_bdr:
I'm not a dev but if you talk about jb framework, you'll have to use specific versions of apk decompiler, the standard apk tools doesn't work, try a search for that.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] menglim:
you are right. I did some google and I found that JB, ICS is different from other version.

At first, I cannot install JB framework. after this research, I can install, compile & decompile other apk fine.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matcarroll:
Just for everyone's info.

I use hax sync to sync my facebook friends to my phone contacts. Been having quite a few problems with battery time lately and just realised even though in hax sync settings it's set to sync once a week and only on WiFi whilst charging, it's been syncing all the time and also syncing whilst it's off charge even though it shouldn't. I have just disabled the sync and will see what happens.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrionBG:
It must be something wrong with your setup!

I use haxsync too and I have no such problems!
[HTC One S] Vash22345:
Hey guys. My uncle sold me his one s. But I don't think its unlocked.

Would this still work if I used it for tmobiles prepaid?

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. Just move if needed.
[HTC One S] Spastic909:
Call T-Mobile and ask.
[HTC One S] maek_it_happen:
Is it aws band ? , if not you won't get full data speeds ,
[HTC One S] arnold1997:
Does it have tmobile brand on it?
[HTC One S] Vash22345:
Yeah it does. Just kinda scared because on ATT I got an iphone awhile back and they won't allow me to use it for prepaid.

But yes. T mobile brand.
[HTC One S] xxquicksh0txx:
Yup all T-Mobile phones will work with their prepaid, just throw a sim in their that's pre-paid and it'll work.
[HTC One S] Vash22345:
Awesome. Thanks a lot :)
[HTC One S] crazyjimbo:
That's what I use now. Works like a charm. The only thing won't have is visual voicemail, since the prepaid plans don't support unconditional call forwarding.
[HTC One S] arnold1997:
I use prepaid too and works perfectly
[HTC One S] Kennii:
Visual voicemail works for me
[HTC One S] Vandam500:
Google Voice? Yeah that works fine.
[LG Optimus 3D] ofutur:
UPDATE: This didn't work for me on the official ICS ROM. YMMV.

I did try this guide:

[GUIDE] [SU760] How to ROOT V29C/D ICS

but it didn't work for me...

So I tried the script posted here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31963526&postcount=532

and it worked really well!

Steps

--------------

* Get version 1.2 of adb_restore_rooting if you can't unpack v1.6 with your current unzipper

* Unpack the archive

* Turn on USB debugging on your phone (Developer options)

* Execute rooting.bat

* Follow the instructions on screen

* When it says "Done!", press return on your PC and it should complete the process.

Note: For those who really want to use v1.6, install 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.com/). Thanks MoYo!
[LG Optimus 3D] papilyn:
thanx bro.
[LG Optimus 3D] kidkoala_uk:
Cheers mate first method failed for me also this worked a treat wkpark strikes again :D
[LG Optimus 3D] Pesach85:
Just to be correct, before to call a method "failed" maybe should be more important to know pre-requisites and why for some people may look to fail.

Anyway yes it's more easy with an automatic script :)
[LG Optimus 3D] ofutur:
Indeed. I got the exact same message over and over.

I think the script from wkpark does a better job cleaning things up before trying to root it again.
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
This method is easier well done.
[LG Optimus 3D] saint_cow:
Help please

For a simpleton such as myself can someone please give me a step by step on how to make this work?

It seems I need Linux to run a SH file? Alot to ask but can someone let me know how to do this on windows7 please
[LG Optimus 3D] -_-Help-_-:
This Softbricked my phone, when I tried to restart it.
[LG Optimus 3D] ofutur:
I've updated the instructions, the sh file was a mistake ;)
[LG Optimus 3D] vitorcruzbr:
Worked like a charm, thank you!
[LG Optimus 3D] saint_cow:
Worked perfect, thanks.
[LG Optimus 3D] MoYo:
For those who have problems with the v1.6 of the archive -> Try 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.com/)

It's packed with 7-zip and you can extract it with it ;)
[LG Optimus 3D] ferel:
Hi Guys,

I try to follow this method but I am getting an "error: device not found" message.

the USB debugging mode is ticked and I've tried to Use Lg software mode and mass storage mode as well.

What do I do wrong?

Thnks for the help.
[LG Optimus 3D] Pesach85:
You have missed: Settings-> security-> unknown sources
[LG Optimus 3D] ofutur:
I did get this once. I set the USB setting to LG software and let it settle. No idea if this is a requirement.
[LG Optimus 3D] sketch2k278:
yup it did the same to my phone..... i had to reinstall gb just to get it working again
[LG Optimus 3D] ofutur:
What do you mean by softbricked?
[LG Optimus 3D] wessi86:
Same here, tried it the second time now with 1.2. After hitting the restore button on the device, the console on pc said that rooting failed.

Then after trying to restart it gets stuck after the LG logo at a black screen.

Edit: Last try with 1.6 now.

Edit 2: Nah, still don't work. The error-log says this: "remote object '/data/local.prop' does not exist"
[LG Optimus 3D] polcomp:
Had the same problem... i used lg mode in usb settings. then installed the autorun and wait for some while, even if it is already installed. Reboot computer, and your ready to go ;)

good luck :good:
[LG Optimus 3D] wessi86:
Wow, all it needed was restarting the PC. It worked fine then, thank you! :)
[LG Optimus 3D] Henrique Kraemer:
Whats goes wrong ?

EDIT: Version 1.2 worked.
[LG Optimus 3D] lzzar:
You guys. I soft bricked my phone too with this method (dont know why though?) and you dont have to do the ressurection guide if you can get to the lg logo. The only thing you have to do WITHOUT changing drivers or ports.

1. Connect ur phone without battery

2. Load the xbsa BIN in LGflashtool and click ready

3.Hold vol up, you hear usb connect, keep holding, you hear usb disconnect and when you hear usb connect again put in battery wait 2 sec and release vol +. The phone will start in S/W mode

4.Now you install the driver by selecting automatic install in the window that pops up. After that is done it will pop up another driver installation. Tick automatic with that to.

When the driver installation is finished LGflashtool will start flashing ;) :)

Will this work to my SU-760?
[LG Optimus 3D] lazylu:
Anyone know which one works good
[LG Optimus 3D] pota--:
For me works only v1.2

1.6 is not worked i got black screen after lg logo
[LG Optimus 3D] lazylu:
Are there better steps
[LG Optimus 3D] cdambati:
For everyone saying it worked, can they please say if they used 1.2 or 1.6
[LG Optimus 3D] Sully.E:
I had some problems with 1.2 , But 1.6 was all ok ! it worked well!
[LG Optimus 3D] unrealmanu:
I modified your script

I modified your script so that any open emulators were not affected, so even if the problem is solved emulators ghost
[LG Optimus 3D] abePdIta:
Installed LG driver by putting the USB connection in "LG software" (I didn't download LG Suite when prompted, anyway)

Used 1.6 version two times (the first time I was slow on tapping RESTORE maybe)

The phone rebooted and everithing was good!

my lg su760 is now ics v30b. can i root that way u shows? what benifit i will get by rooting. my data gprs speed is very slow highest is 12 kbps. is it possible to data speed up?
[LG Optimus 3D] oddcia:
I have the same problem. ICS rooted V30b and really slow data connection. Last week with V21a I had 250k p/s typically. Has anybody else come across this?

Rooting wont help your data speed, for that you must try several basebands until find a good one.

It seems that I can only access GPRS and I have no idea how to enable the 3g on V30b

Got this fixed with changing the baseline sorry.. lack of understanding on my part

[Droid RAZR M General] AMTrombley0924:
Should I get the M? I have an upgrade in December, and I really love the form factor. My main concern is, I want a phone that will be supported for at least a full year. I like my 4, but I feel like its an afterthought to Motorola as far as design and in software support. I feel like you need to have a highly successful phone (as opposed to the niche market phone the D4 is) to receive support for a respectable amount of time.

The honest truth is I will most likely want a new phone by the end of 2013 as well (I have a real hard time sticking with a phone for a full contract), but is the M a good phone that will get continuous love for 2013? Does the phone seem like it will be able to handle anything 2013 might throw at it (as far as software)?
[Droid RAZR M General] skippid:
Development promises from Motorola can be questionable at times, like the ATRIX 4G. All rumors so far hint that this will be supported till the end if 2013. I like the phone, love the performance. Your question is so broad, it really comes down to what you like. If you really like the M, you'll get it. If you played with it, and you're asking for an opinion on whether YOU should be locked into a two year contract, maybe you should continue weighing your options. There is no physical keyboard by the way. ;p

I left the RAZR for the M, and love it. No regrets.
[Droid RAZR M General] rancur3p1c:
Now that Google bought Moto, they have committed publicly to trying to keep the phones more up to date.

I'd say there's a good chance it will get Android 4.2, but seeing how independent Google is letting M be, Motorola may cut support like they did for their Atrix 4G, Photon, Electrify.

If they cancel it, the first thing they'll do is delay it to 2014Q1. Then they'll cancel it, but give you a "trade in" option for $100.
[Droid RAZR M General] spunker88:
I'm considering switching to the M from the Droid 3, I have an upgrade coming in March 2013. About the only thing that would change this would be if a Droid 5 came out that was designed like the M with a keyboard, but at this point I'm thinking I could live without a keyboard. I'm hoping under new management that Motorola will have quicker updates, they've already made Motoblur much better and are using on screen buttons giving a more stock appearance. With how quick the JB leak appeared, I imagine 4.2 won't take that long, considering its a such a small update to 4.1. Even if the M never sees 4.2 it wouldn't be that big of a deal since its such a small update.

The M is the only phone in a while that has decent specs and is physically small. I want something small and pocket sized, I have a tablet if I need a big screen. Development for this phone is already starting, Dhacker29 is making ROMs and recovery, while Hashcode is working on safestrap. I really want it now, but I have to wait until March to upgrade. Hopefully I can get it for free w/2yr at that point.
[Droid RAZR M General] bitz_dv:
Me and my wife were slated for upgrade July of next year and they let us upgrade early because we kept calling and complaining about our d3s. She got the 4 and I got the m. I like the m way more, its not a perfect phone, but it is really great! I am way slower typing, and do miss the keyboard, but its a good trade off for how nice this phone is. I would trade a 3 for the m in a heartbeat, I would hold on to the 4 a little longer.
[Droid RAZR M General] skippid:
I could see the M going for free on Black Friday. That could be a good time to upgrade if it pans out. It's been 50 on Amazon for a while.

Like it was pointed out earlier in the post, it should have support for a while.
[Droid RAZR M General] spunker88:
Are you in a 4G coverage area. I know some people have been given early upgrades since Verizon wants to switch people over to 4G, but I live in a 3G only area so I don't see why Verizon would allow me an earlier upgrade. I guess its worth a try though. I haven't been using the keyboard much on my D3 because its stopped working well (I have to press hard to get keys to register and then sometimes I'll get double characters). I've been using Swype and have grown to like it. The worst part about the D3 is the fact that its always running low on RAM even with bloatware frozen which makes it lag even though it has a 1ghz dual core.
[Droid RAZR M General] bitz_dv:
We are in 4G area, and we complained about the lag, the rebooting and the keyboard not working. What did it though I think was complaining about the indoor cell signal on the D3 (we were trying to get a network extender) and that's when they offered an early upgrade.

Hello! :)

I have a problem. :( I followed the battery saving guide for Galaxy nexus. Changed settings as there were shown in images - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1599025 ( adjusting the light sensor levels )

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eqjunkie829:
You could just re flash system data instead of doing the whole rom. Or do a backup, full wipe and then restore data only.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esterra:
It didn't work. The only idea that I have is that maybe someone can make a flash able zip or Smth that dresses display settings. I think that its possible. And I'm using paranoid ROM. If I had not so much preconfigured settings apps and so on, then I could make a fresh install but. Too many important settings. Gave much time them.:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esterra:
Can anyone help me please? :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DynamicRam:
may be you can backup your rom > factory reset > advanced restore every thing except system data
