[ROM] LG Thrive P506 Stock FOTA 2.2.2 v11h

[avengin]

So read this through before you call me noob, even though i quite am a noob.

I have a p505 i've been doing some mixing and matching with p500 roms and
my backup of the boot img from my p505, and i found out that i fixed the
screen issue and everything when i used the "devoid" rom for p500 and my boot
img. Just it kept shutting down if it wasnt plugged in due to a bettery heat
sensor issue. otherwise it was a totally, clean and working p500 rom on a p505.

Now out of curiosity i went and did a flash of this rom on my p505, i cleared,
dalvik, user data, cache, and battery stats... Now this is where i bet most are
thinking its a stupid idea, and this wont work, well i flashed it anyways...

I didnt have a single issue with this rom on my p505, i take it i was suppose to?
The lg site doesnt label my phone as a p505 but a p505r.. is my phone a hybrid
between p505 and p506? cause if i set up the apn settings for my phone i dont
know yet but i shouldnt have any issues with this rom on my rogers lg p505...

I am not an at&t customer, just to clear that question up.

** So to continue on if the data works, yes i set up the apn, and this p506
rom is working perfectly out of the box on my p505r

now to figure out themes....

posting theme later should work for you!

i have noticed in a few places where it gives model number in system files on my p506 it says p505. Are these phones really that similar?

[EDIT] I did some research. (which i should have done before i asked the question) and other then a couple drivers and color they are pretty much exact.

Hey. I wanted to know if I can flash this using fastboot or emergency mode. My phone doesnt turn on because of something i did on rom manager so can you tell me please how to flash it without it being able to turn on. Many Thanks in Advance!!!!

Standard disclaimer applies: if anything breaks down, it wasn't me.
Use this only on LG Thrive P506, not P505 or others.

Here's a flashable zip with the latest AT&T FOTA rom (thunderg-user 2.2.2 FRG83G LG-P506-V11h.19BA7112F9).

Changes from stock rom?
- rooted, deodexed, added a2sd support.
- updated Google apps (market, gmail, maps, voice search).
- added FM radio app (from P500) and AppWidgetPicker.
- RTL fix applied.
- AT&T apps moved from /system to /data, so they can be uninstalled.
- build.prop modified: debug.sf.hw=1 and wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=120.

How to flash?
- if you don't have a custom recovery, you first have to root, install Rom Manager and install CWM (use Optimus One version for now, it's imperfect but usable).
- use Rom Manager to boot to recovery, make a backup, and install the zip. The rom does not wipe your data, but do a factory reset before complaining about FCs.

Advanced topics
- a patched CWM recovery can be found here. It only solves the color issue, not others. A real solution may be pending.
- I usually delete DunServer.apk and IQAgent.apk from /system/app, as they seem to run automatically and do nothing. Perhaps WapService.apk is expendable too. YMMV.
- AT&T preset bookmarks/contacts can be removed by using SQL tools on the appropriate databases. I didn't bother with wifi/apn presets.

Thank you so much for this! I had installed Mikes Cyn rom & my display was completely messed up.. I downloaded this, went into rom manager & choose to install rom from sd card. I went into the recovery mode & it wouldnt allow it because of the signature so I simply disabled that. I installed the rom then without error. After installation I went ahead & deleted the data/case/dalsik etc, basically everything including battery.

I then rebooted from the recovery & the phone restarted.. It took maybe 2 minutes to completely boot all the way through but once it was up it took me straight to the phone settings as if it was a brand new phone to setup everything! I had to immediately give it back to my girlfriend, since it was her phone lol, so I just skipped the setup but once she gets back later I will be able to do that!

This completely saved me! I was so worried that I wouldnt be able to fix the display glitch that I got from installing the cyn rom!

I think "FOTA" is Firmware over the air. KDZ file is not FOTA just normal update. FOTA files have .up extension ;]

 

[raenye]

Are you questioning my choice of name?

This rom is based on a dump of a P506 updated to 2.2.2 using FOTA.
Having no KDZ around, it's pretty reasonable to call the rom "Stock FOTA".

If this wasn't convincing, feel free to modify the rom and call it whatever you like

Tkanks,

Hello, I am havina problem with my friends thrive. For some reason now that the firmware has been updated, the phone just reboots into recovery not the Rom. This happens when I restore from NAND and when I installed this Rom. I need help please. Any comments or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

This is stock deodexed; I guess LG/AT&T didn't put in support for too many languages.
Try installing CM7 for a broader support (and performance).

Did you use Rom Manager itself, or just used it to boot to recovery and do the installation/backup/restore from there?

Does it happen every boot? did you try the usual stuff -- taking battery out for a few seconds, reflashing recovery, reflashing rom?

do i need gapps for this?

do i need gapps for this?

I don't think so. I think it's already included since the is a manufacturer ROM.
