MY experience at the service center today:
okay so even after repeated attempts to recover my phone from fastboot
when kdz updater failed to extract the ROM...(file extract error)..
i decided to take it to SC ....
they take my phone, tell me not to do it on a slow connection (i made the excuse that i was doing an update detected by PC suite)
n ask me to come back in a couple of hours...
n when i come back, with a xerox of the invoice they tell me they can't fix it...they'll have to send it to a bigger service center cuz my "port ud gaya hai"
:|


:(( :(

LG service center has a policy in which they give spare phone until they repair urs. Ask them for one.
Shaking wouldnt have damaged port if done properly. Hold phone with the microusb head in single grip and shake it along the length of the phone. Be careful its not champagne :grin:
Port problems wud usually not detect the phone. It must a pin damage which can be caused by a faulty usb cable too. Whatever it is dont let them charge you for it. Be firm ;-)

Yes, the ebay sellers are actually buying from fommy and selling those covers at high price. :)

thx for the fommy link. i just ordered from there.

Yes, I flashed the official LG v20g through russian method. Russian rom is v20b. Gps/touch is excellent as compared to froyo, gps gets locked in 3-5 seconds and I hvnt seen multitouch bug since GB. Camera i hvnt tested as I dont use it. I followed the xda guide, russian way to flash the rom and thn flashed the LOL rom. Battery is far far better thn froyo/CM7 but performance is less/par as compared to CM7.

can u plz pste the like here for dat xda russian method..
so , right nw u using LOL rom?? why u first install official Russian GB and then GingerLOL ??
i am on 2.2.2, can i directly goto gingerlol 1.5??


guys, after reading lot of docs abt installing Amon_RA, i think i will nt go dat complicated installtion, though i hav setup adb in my kubuntu, and everything working. bt i am nt feeling confident abt installing amonra. some users faced 'fastboot'. i did once. dnt want to again (unless my badluck). so may be i am gonna try clockworkmod again. i jst hav one confusion. after installing 'rom manager', can i mov this to sd card (before flashing CWM). and then flash CWM..

anyone using amonra, plz share the XX-android.rules file contents regarding installation. i got my devie listed after running "abd devices". bt into shell i got 'permission dnied" after doing "su"..

this is my 99-android.rules file content....
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="1004", OWNER="<my linux username>" GROUP="<my linux username>"

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

UPDATE: :D..finally..amonra thunderg 2.2.1 CR successfully installed.

[ROM][UPDATED][JUL 6]GingerLOL 1.5 (androidworld.it) | GB 2.3.3 (LG v20c) | 2.6.35.13 - xda-developers

Simply flash v20c/v20g which ever available from the thread above, download LOL 1.5 rom and then flash that rom through recovery. Remember, flashing the official ROM will update your baseband and you cant use the old roms like CM7 until you reverse to old baseband.
 
thanks & 1 last thing, what is the battery backup of LOL 1.5? and are you using franco's kernel with it?

More thn 24 hours with moderate usage. Franco kernel is buggy right now like misaligned screen. I am using the overclock kernel already present in LOL rom.

Oh, he has updated the steps like you can directly flash the baseband, and then GB rom.

Their is a translation page on that thread, visit that forum to check out the actual rom+russian tool and then flash LOL 1.5

You can follow any of the two ways now :

1. Flash the baseband from the xda thread using russian tool, and then flash the LOL 1.5 rom.
2. Flash the official rom through russian tool, and then flash the LOL 1.5 rom.

Read it completely. There is a link,anyway here it is:
[HOWTO] Flashing baseband (radio) via LGMDP.exe - xda-developers

From what I have understood is, you have two options to switch to new baseband
1) Switch to official GB ROM,download complete firmware+recovery and flash phone without having to use kdz.Some russian prgm called LGMDP THUNDER is used. Phone will be usable. U may go ahead and then flash GingerLol
2) Just flash the baseband files using the procedure in the above link. Installing a custom rom like Gingerlol will be reqd.

I would prefer the 2nd method

@dreatica
[EDIT]I didnt see you already had replied to gmg9 ;)
Is it worth doing all this? How is GingerLol compared to cm7? Im asking this because switching back to cm7 is going to be headache,in case I dont like it.
How is gaming performance? and is the touchscreen driver better implemented in GingerLol? Thanks :)

yes, but what about the other kernel v18.1 & what is the difference between the two (v1 & v18.1)?

Some russian prgm called LGMDP THUNDER is used.

is it another O1 bricker? or safe than KDZ?

2) Just flash the baseband files using the procedure in the above link. Installing a custom rom like Gingerlol will be reqd.

so: CM7/Gingerbread ---> flash the baseband files ---> flash gingerlol 1.5? is the procedure right?

too lazy to read though the procedure there.

Two things i want to ask:
1) Whats zram module for?
2) What are the advantages of darktremor app2sd over the normal app2sd application?

If you use mere 8-9k phone for gaming, stick to CM7.

yes, but what about the other kernel v18.1 & what is the difference between the two (v1 & v18.1)?

v1+ is based on official GB kernel
v18.1 or lesser= froyo kernel with patches to make it compatible with CM7/GB.


is it another O1 bricker? or safe than KDZ?

If you flash reading the instruction its safe. Some people are too lazy to read the instructions and then blame that this method is risky.

You didnt have to be rude :cool:

Anyway thanks for your opinions :) I guess I'll wait a week before I change Roms, MIUI is making fast progress and even mik_os may release a new stable build and franco may release a better gb kernel like he always does.

@Sam
I flashed franco's v1 kernel for gb on void forever. The performance was slightly better. Quadrant scores were almost the same. And I got blackscreen bug when I wake phone. So I advice u wait till he releases a bug-free version. I restored my backup and back to v18.1 :)
