[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamant_orcinus:
Well now

Im a bit confused, I came to make a statement, and ask a question. Then I changed my mind and thought that I should just give my thanks and be gone with it. But then I remembered the only reason I bothered to make an account with ANY service is usually because I need some kind of service. And thats the case here.

however first I will say thanks to all of those involved in the process of making , maintaining, and problem solving, for the community. Even with little to no pay. (we do things because our pa$$ion for them right?)

Anyway, my question is simple. Im having trouble with my particular version of Cloudy G3 ROM. Which is version 1.0 the initial release.

Now you devs always ask the people not to repost, because you cant guarantee its authenticity if downloaded from somewhere else. But then like every other mobile fanatic, there is the mindless need to upgrade and keep changing ****, always and forever. Those two combos leave people like me fuq'd. I cant do anything repair wise to my phone because the only versions of this rom are the new 2.2 , and the getting damn hard to find V1.2. Not to mention, being rationally tortured by as silly as it my sound to some, the question of "wait, i thought mine was made by Cloudy. Who the heck is Cloudyfa? wth this guy says what Im seeing is the G2 rom on a G2 but it looks like a G3 rom on a G2. And this guys saying its a G3 ROM for the G2. which is what I remember that I had. hmmmmm?"

Where are the previous versions? I just learned about this dirty flashing, "phrasing! boom!" and it as I thought is like a Windows repair install process. Now you cant do that with a different version of Windows or Android. What are we supposed to do if we ARE running old versions. All the DL links here are that dreaded "waste of time even changing the page if you know that damn link was to a removed or dead post, you bastard of an internet!! :G " LOL sorry

All joking aside, seriously, whats up with that? I even figured that I would risk having to loose all my data and just do a regular complicated install and call it a day. Boy was I surprised, there was a built in, configurer, that was a shock, good job guys. But then once again. What is going on with me and my device makes no friggin sense in relation to what i had just read before I downloaded 1.2

The review was CG3 for a G2. My phones screen was telling me to choose my device during the install process. The closest thing to my phone was its successor, the G3LS990. Im a LS980.. Hmmm.

What am I to do? This is an OBVIOUS red flag waving in my face. I read nothing but horror story after another of people doing flashes intended for a different device. And they end up where Im trying to escape from. STRESS!!!

What to do? Where is the v1.0 at?

Thanks,

Ciao

I thought I could accept the world of phones, I was wrong. I will try to keep up with some aspects of it but, Im so over this. Ive had probably 4 major fk ups that required factory resets and starting the long process of getting the new POS to feel remotely comfortable or useful to me. And this is way to complicated of a process fo do something simple like an OS install on a computer, that is basically an automated process, to hunting down individual parts of files , and variable times the square of the sum of the version by the cubed equivalent of the remainder of LGg³/lgG²........... Yes that is what it feels like. No bundles like this puts this on this phone. All parts included, just choose options and youre done. There are words to look up, then files to hunt down, then processes to cross reference against another. To hopefully still be confident to do it.

I did my last flash just fine, it was just tedious. And I learned then I should have left OEM alone. I cant find it so I HAVE to stick it out this G3 rom. That I cant even locate. That even the wayback machine doesnt even have a copy of. Things like this makes the cell phone vary in rank from #1 to 5 on the list of "useful devices that are not at all"
