LG Ally :: Install The New Update

Sep 26, 2010

I recently rooted my phone. That went fine, I got the fancy # prompt without too much trouble. So I installed ROM Manager and got the ClockworkMod Recovery img. When I hit reboot into recovery from ROM Manager it booted to the LG boot screen and wouldn't go anywhere past that. I freaked thinking I was bricked. I left my phone alone for like 4 or so hours and it was fine thankfully. So I pretty much stayed away from fancy stuff like that for the past week.

Then this new firmware update comes out.

My question is... If i install the new OTA update will I lose my root access? I've read about situations where people lose their root then gain it back, I'm just curious if this is the path I will have to follow.

I have a backup of my stock ROM with root access and I'm not running any custom ROMs.

LG Ally :: Memory Works Whenever Install An App?

Nov 18, 2010

Hi. I am brand new to the android world. I just got an LG Ally. I am wondering how the memory works whenever you install an app. I have noticed that it goes onto the phone's internal memory. When i take a picture or video that gets saved onto the SD card. I dont have many apps and it seems like the internal memory is already starting to fill up. What happens when this happens? Will it rollover to the '" card or will i just get a "memory full" kind of message? I would rather have more memory for apps than for pics and videoany info is greatly appreciated.

LG Ally : Install New Droid Market

Nov 8, 2010

Most of you got a silent upgrade to a new version of the android market a few weeks back. But this was released after velocity .3 (and I think raptor .1) came out so if you re-flash back to those you'll be without. When I re-flashed to velocity .3 my phone never got the silent upgrade, or at least not for a few days. I struggled for awhile to install the .apk manually so I figured I would write up how I did it.

UPDATED Nov 18th, 2010

There seem to be a few distinct ways to go about doing this. I've summarized them here:

Using terminal -

Note: My phone has issues mounting the file system from adb so I used a combination of adb and terminal. The terminal instructions are copied from Savox website and will create a backup of the old Vending.apk in /sdcard/archive. Android Ally

- Download the Vending.apk file here: MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service
- Copy the New Vending.apk to a location on your sd card (I put it in the root section of the SD card because its less typing). I renamed it to Vending.apk, but you can name it whatever you would like.

From terminal:
- su
- mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
- mkdir /sdcard/archive
- cp /system/app/Vending.apk /sdcard/archive
- rm /system/app/Vending.apk

From ADB (I'm pretty certain you absolutely have to do this step):
- adb uninstall com.android.vending

From terminal:
- busybox install /sdcard/Vending.apk /system/app

Using Astro -

- Install ASTRO File Manager - ASTRO File Manager - Android app on AppBrain
- Open Astro and navigate to the Vending.apk app, select it.
- Select "Upgrade"
- Done

Using tAttachApkInstaller -

- Install tAttachApkInstaller - tAttachApkInstaller - Android app on AppBrain
- Download the apk to your computer and email it to yourself
- Open the email on your phone, and hit preview this should start tAttachApkInstaller
- Done

LG Ally :: Baseband Update

Oct 13, 2010

"-Baseband Version VS740MVB.5210.1015: (new radio.img) Flash this just like a kernel. You must reboot into recovery once more after installing to wipe your cache. *Only flash once! I cannot be held liable for any damage caused to your device by flashing this!" If you back rev to Velocity 0.2 from Velocity 0.3, do you need to redo the Baseband update, or is it permanent?

LG Ally :: New Update Feedback

Sep 25, 2010

My Ally updated Thursday with no issues. I have observed a noticeable increase in responsiveness. Noticeable! No app issues. I did uninstall some new apps it placed on my phone like Skype. Battery life seems to be as good or better than prior to the update. I'm a light user. A couple of calls per day, some internet (Dolphin HD) and some texting. I recharge it every other day when battery level gets down to about 30%. I use ADW.Launcher, Juice Defender, no app killer, a couple of low overhead widgets, Chomps SMS, Pandora, and not much else other than a few shortcuts. I do have a widget for airplane mode. I turn it on once a day then reboot and turn it back on.

LG Ally :: Want To Stop Update Notifications

Sep 22, 2010

I know you can rename outraces.zip to cancel the notification, but I have heard that makes the phone think the update is corrupt and it continuously tries to download it. I would like to have Velocity 0.2 on my phone but I cannot stand the constant nagging to update. I have tried flashing VZB and going back and the notifications still appear. Has anyone managed to stop the notifications?

LG Ally :: Velocity .2 With Jit Kernel And New 2.1 Update

Sep 21, 2010

I have my lg Ally with the new Jit kernel (Thanks Drellisdee), with Velocity 0.2 (Thanks Trident) and am overclocking at 768 mhz. I want to apply the new update, VZB, and then put velocity and the jit kernel back. So my thoughts are that I would have to...

1.) Backup rom/Apps/Data (Titanium Backup/ROM Manager)
2.) Go into Recovery (Clockworkmod) and make a nendroid backup.
3.) Wipe Dalvik, data, and cache.
4.) Install vzb via Drellisdee's rooted update (After i check md5)
5.) Then Apply Velocity 0.2
6.) Apply the kernel
7.) Restore data from titanium backup...

Is this what I would do? What about the ally's unofficial "V9" update that has to be installed manually... Is that worth it or should I just do VZB?
Also, do I need to go to a stock rom proior to the update?

LG Ally :: Lost Chance At Update

Sep 22, 2010

Well so my phone tried to update to what I assume may have been Froyo but it failed due to the bug in the recovery 1.2.2 it would not accept a verified signature. I then went to go find the update again only to find out that my system claimed to be up to date and my phone was still at 2.1 update 1.

Motorola Droid X :: Update To 2.2 Via Update.zip In Recovery - Install Rom Manager

Aug 28, 2010

I've got a quick question.

My friend bricked his DX with the Deodexing or whatever. After an sbf flash..

Can we update to 2.2 via update.zip in recovery, install rom manager, and then install MY backup on his phone? I'm currently uploading them to file hosting, and wondering if this would work.

If so, will he be fully rooted, deodexed, and themed(I'm rocking the xtreme 2.2 theme)?

2.1 Update :: Unable To Install Or Start Software Update Components

Nov 19, 2010

I've been trying to update my phone now for nearly two weeks, trying various options, yet nothing I do helps in any way.I started off just running the update from SEUS with my phone as i've been using it.the updater started, gets about 70% through "Preparing" and pops up an error "Unable to install or start software update components." Closing which pops up "try again" or come to this site.I then tried uninstalling all installed components, same result as above.I then tried a Master Reset to factory setting, same result as above.I then disable the Firewall and the Anti-Virus, same result as above.Basically, i'm at the end of my tether, this should not be this difficult, I should not have to jump through this amount of hoops.If there was a way to legitimately root the phone (keeping warranty), I could already have Froyo installed, instead of this irritating mess thats causing me nothing but headaches.

LG Ally :: How Can I Update Back To Newest Version?

Nov 9, 2010

Okay so I had a problem with an app, it would never download and stay at the installing progress bar for days. I looked up the solution online and they told me to go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Market>Uninstall Updates. I did that and now I have the old version on the Market, so I don't have automatic updating and there is no "Update All" button, so I can't do that either. I tried rebooting my phone, no luck. Unrooting and rebooting, still no luck. How can I update back to the newest version?

LG Ally :: Turning Off Dual Clock Update Service On Reboot?

Aug 26, 2010

I dropped the Dual Clock widget on my home screen then deleted it from the home screen. When I go to Settings/Applications/Running Applications the updater for that widget is active. I have not found a way to permanently get rid of the Dual CLock update service upon reboot. I know how to manually stop it from running but don't want to have to do that every time my phone starts up. What a pain. Since it's not an app it cannot be deleted.
