Root [02/Nov/2011] Android 2.3.7 Gingerbread (Swiftdroid) CM 7.1 For LG GT540 [New Method]

[simon194]

I'm also having this problem, is there any known fix for this issue?

There isn't as far as I know atb the moment. HTC's have the same problem with CM7.1 and it can be fixed in most cases by copying the libril.so library from a stock ROM.

I tried it out of interest on my GT540 but it came up with the same error although it did list all the service providers in the radio log which the stock CM library didn't do.

Hi guys is there any way to use ROM manager as a back up for Swiftdroid? if not are there any good alternatives? i've used MyBackup for my apk's and data but i want to be able to back up everything on the phone in one go!

If you boot into recovery you can backup your ROM there use the volume buttons to navigate, the call button to select and the power button to go back.

In recovery go to Backup and restore and hit backup. It will backup all partitons in the flash memory, its the easiest way to backup, and doesnt require you to be in android to backup, or restore if there is a problem with android.

[rexes]

Solved that...now my problem is that it stucks in the gingerbread update at the point where it opens the cmd and it's gonna install gingerbread...it says <waiting for the device>.I have installed every possible driver for it!Dunno what to do more!

 

[rexes]

Anyone that can help me please??I badly need to update it!!

 

[Delsus]

If your PC will not find the device and you have the drivers installed, I would try going to Mur4ik's twitter and downloading the recovery files, extract the first zip to the root of your sd card, then boot to recovery, go to "install zip from sd card" then find the zip that was extracted and hit yes.

This will install the latest update and keep all your data and apps

people, i updated! wifi doesnt work.
updated 1 more time, got everything right, things ive checked seems ok but, MY WIFI STILL DOESNT WORK. if i turn it on, it just force close.

Hey guys everything working here, but cyanogen comes with some bundled apps (that aren't even in the wiki list) such as:

-terminal emulator
-news and weather reader

are these ok to remove with titanium backup?

also, what is DSP manager?

Terminal emulator is just a linux shell that supports linux commands to perform tasks with the phone so I believe it is safe to remove also I dont think news and weather is needed to run, just perform a nandroid backup through recovery before you remove system apps incase there are problems.

DSP manager seems to be settings for the sound devices, I would not reccomend you remove it.

Have you tried a hard reset? It usually sorts out FC issues but it will delete all your data.

 

[lunatic4free]

Use an app called mybackup root to back up all your data and apps, this includes all contacts, sms, mms, bookmarks etc

 

[lunatic4free]

Delsus, thanx on ur effort man. nothing helped. so i backed up my staff and reinstaled 2.3.5
, not updated, reinstalled. so, thats it. cheers

Somebody wrote battery never reaches 100%. When I turn the wireless location off, check 'use only 2G', take the brightness down etc. sometimes it reaches 100% for a short period of time. I can show you a screenshot: dl.dropbox.com/u/230395/100.png

What is memory compression for? What are the correct values and what did you use for calibration?

it is jst awesome but i have one problem. the option 'network mode' is not available in mobile network setting and thats why i m unable to set my network mode to wcdma only, its a great problem for me plz tell me something to get out of this problem...plz fix it

IIRC the 'network mode' option has never been part of the standard Android release and it's something that the phone manufacturer's add.

(I'm using 2.1, it may be a bit different)
Ok, here's how to set up 3G internet + MMS.
1. Go to Settings --> Wireless & Networks --> Mobile Network Settings --> Access Point Names.
2. You should see a blank list. Press "New APN".
3. Fill in the following:

Name: Optus Yes Internet
APN: yesinternet
Proxy:
Port:
Username:
Password:
Server:
MMSC:
MMS Proxy:
MMS Port:
MMS Protocol (Android 2.1+): WAP 2.0
MCC: 505
MNC: 02
Auth Type: PAP
APN Type: internet or default

Press "Save". You should go back to the "Mobile Network Settings" page.
5. Turn on 3G (mobile network) and test it out. Hopefully, it worked. If not, then recheck and make sure you filled in everything correctly.
6. If it worked, you'll probably want to set up MMS too. Go back to the "Access Point Names" page, and press "New APN".
7. Fill in the following:

Name: Optus MMS
APN: mms
Proxy:
Port:
Username:
Password:
Server:
MMSC: http://mmsc.optus.com.au:8002/
MMS Proxy: 61.88.190.10
MMS Port: 8070
MMS Protocol (Android 2.1+): WAP 2.0
MCC: 505
MNC: 02
Auth Type: PAP
APN Type: mms

Press "Save". You should go back to the "Mobile Network Settings" page.
8. Test it by:
A. Sending a friend a MMS.
B. Getting a friend to send you a MMS.
I recommend that you do both, to make sure it works both ways.
Hopefully, it worked. If not, then recheck and make sure you filled in everything correctly.
9. ???
10. PROFIT!

There is no WCDMA only option in CM7, you will just have to cope with the signal fluctuating between 2g and 3g networks

i dont know what the problem is, but the Android235GT540_15-AugustENG.exe doesn't update when i click the update button! i can see that it spawns a cmd window, but disappears as soon as it appears.

i have verified that i'm in fastboot mode through the "fastboot devices" command. i have wiped off the cache as well.

so why doesn't this process work? thanks.

 

[zidder]

I have a random crash with black screen one or two times per week, the cyanogen mod (RC15) solving it.
I hope there will be update soon for us too
