Re: [ROM] - CleanROM 2.0 - Updated 7/23/11 - Overclocked, Ad Blocked, WiFi Tether
 

Hey scrosler: I recently got this phone and thought it ran fine stock, but of course I wanted more performance, so I decided to root and try this ROM according to your instructions. After doing all that and rebooting out of recovery I ended up at the home screen, but the phone tries and fails at Hands-free Activation. It does this whenever I restart, and I have no 3G service.

Do you know how to fix this issue? If it matters, my phone has SW version LS670ZV9. I tried updating using the LG Mobile Support Tool but it says that I have the latest software version installed.

Yikes, your at V9... And you flashed a VD baseband ROM. Not good but we can fix that though! I am going to upload some stuff for you. Its called KDZ. It will allow you to flash the phone to a completely stock VD baseband. Like brand new outta the box.... You will have to root and install custom recovery again though.. But that should not be an issue.

Hang tight while I zip the files you will need then upload....

Edit1: If you think the phone runs good now... Wait till you got it running with my ROM. Its a nice improvement :)

Haha great...You might want to mention the VD requirement in your first post then.

Call me ignorant but the SW version was just an afterthought I had once the handsfree crap popped up. Texting and calling still work...if I didn't test internet service then I'd have no idea that something is wrong...

Yeah, you totally correct. I just made an assumption everyone was at VD. My bad. I am finishing up the tutorial for this... Almost done!


BTW: You are not ignorant. Thats my bad for not outlining this prerequisite.

EDIT 1: I updated Post #2 to signify the need to be at the VD baseband.

Okay good. I don't suppose a recovery would rectify everything? I did make a backup after installing Xionia, although I admit I don't know what actually gets backed up... or where it all goes.

What we are about to do is restore this phone to Like New out of the box with the VD baseband.

If you have a recovery saved you can also restore it to bring you back to the point you were at before you installed CleanROM. The recovery backs up pretty much everything (for the most part)....

Eitherway....

Great work, Scott. And to think that you developed ver 2.1 exactly ten years ago, way in advance of Android's initial release. Unbelievable! haha

Anyway, you'll be happy to hear that ver 2.0 worked well for the most part. My phone did freeze twice - once on the unlock screen and once in the dialer - for about 5 secs each time. What do you do to prevent stuff like that from happening?

I'll see if I can move to 2.1 later today.
