I cant get into [Home+Power] stays at G1 screen. Other then that it does power up and go into phone. and [Power+Camera] works. Any help how to fix this ?
you probably need to reflash your recovery image. the thing that sucks is that the recovery image links are down so if you don't have a copy of it, well you can imagine....
Can you give me a link to one ? And tell me how to reflash ?
And BTW , you seem to always be there , big thanks man.
yeah, seems like you'll need to reflash the recovery.
I actually have a saved copy of the 1.4 recovery, if you give me your email i can send to you. the instructions to install it are on the original thread, here.

A question ?
For the past 1hrs ive been trying to get my phone to work. I installed cynogens recovery image 1.4 and after that tryed installing a theme and got a black screen i then notice it was because i didnt remove the icons b4 this. I was stuck cause i didnt have an sdcard reader so ive been using my cousin LG phone to transfer my data to the sdcard. So i tryed re-flashing the rom (Cynogen 4.0.4) with wip. Still got the black screen. Tryed a new rom (JACxHEROSki-v2.1) with wip , goes pass the G1 screen to the aqua blue cynogen android scate board screen to the black screen. Help ?
MOD EDIT
if you have a ? please give a hint in the title to what it is.
thank you

you might want to avoid constantly opening new threads, especially one that just has "?" in the subject; this one might get closed.
if your sdcard is partitioned correctly for cyanogenmod (ext2/ext3 - fat32) then you'll probably need to wipe the ext2/ext3 partition and wipe then reflash the rom. I haven't gone to a HERO rom yes myself, so i'm not sure if there is another step involved for that.

Ive never partitioned for Cynogen i have a clean 1g no partitions. Its always worked for me.
Im assuming that you didnt create a nandroid backup when you installed the recovery image? and let's both assume since you had Cyan running before that you have the correct Radio and SPL images.
ok, if you have no partitions we can skip a couple of steps.. try this, connect your phone to youe PC, boot into recovery with Home & Power and type the following commands.
alt&X to enter console
push enter
ums_enable
this will mount your sd and open it on your PC so you can verify that you have the correct update.zip on the root of your SD.
ums_disable
reboot recovery
alt&W
alt&S
If you are going to start flashing roms you really want to consider getting a bigger SD card, my nandroid backup is like, 900mb and without that it's kinda like playing russian roulette with your phone. I hope this helps.

You can go in the nandroid folder and delete old backups, folder names have dates. You can also store all of the folders and put them on your sdcard as needed, Nandroid only uses the one with the newest date anyways.

Hey no problem, I'm glad things worked out for you.
Okay, here's my situation.
Had Sky Raiders 1.9 running well with the custom kernel in one of the updates. Then I wanted to flash to Cynogen Mod 6. I cleared cache and storage prior to flashing, but it got stuck in an endless reboot cycle. I know I can remedy this by flashing back to the stock kernel, but here is really where my problem is. I have no sd reader and my partner is away on business, so I have no way at the moment to transfer files back and forth to the sdcard. Any thoughts? Getting into adb was a huge pain when rooting and I haven't been successful since.

Did you do a nand backup before you flashed the rom? If so just restore the backup while in recovery. If not, then I don't what you could do without being able to put a new rom on an sd card. Perhaps somebody else knows a way around this?

Thanks for your help. No, I was a complete idiot. I forgot that the day before I had moved the backups to my pc so I could format the card.
If you rooted your phone you should be able to push files to your sdcard in recovery mode, using
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push c:\******.*** /sdcard
You might not even have to do the mount command, I'm not sure though.
If you can get into recovery there is an option to mount the SD card so it can be accessed on your computer as if it were in a card reader.

When I do this I get /sbin/sh: adb: not found
reboot into recovery, go to partitions menu, and then mound USB sotrage. it should mount on your desktop just as if the phone was on and in hard disk mode.

Yea, thanks. After I fixed that issue the /data and /cache couldn't be mounted. To fix that I had to go back to unrooted. This brought up a number of other issues. All and all, it's working just great.
When you have issues like this you go google searching. You come across a potential solution and try it and it doesn't work or it leads to another problem. Sometimes I think I am doing more harm than good. Not to mention that sometimes the answer is on page 8 or page 451. It took both of my days off to solve this. But, you know what....it's kinda why I got the phone in the first place.

haha exactly the reason i got into android, plus the fact that the community is second to none, i love tinkering with all this stuff and trying to figure out why something isn't working correctly and fixing it.
I have a question on the clockworkmod recovery using the ADB..obviously when you try and install it through Rom Manager you only have an option for the Optimus V...so I followed the thread that designgears posted..enabled all the permissions and it seemed to all work...however, after the phone rebooted and I checked my sd card, nothing new was there...there is however a file on my internal memory "mmcblk0p6.backup"..its 10mb...is this the backup file it was supposed to create...also, when I go to Rom Manager and click on CWM it still says its not installed..am I doing something wrong or mising a step..any help is appreciated! I really wanna have this so I can flash a custom ROM...thank you!

You cannot use ROM Manager with the Thrill at this point. It sounds like you mistype a command when you were doing this. I would go back and redo the steps.

I think he may be misunderstanding CWM. In order to see if you have it installed, you need to do the 3 button combo when restarting. If you redo the steps that DG posted, you are probably going to overwrite the stock recovery that you just copied to your SD card.
Try restarting your phone while pressing and holding the 3D button, Volume Down, and then the power button until the LG comes up. Release the Power button only (keep holding 3D and Vol. Down) and it should boot into CWM.
Thanks for your reply! I tried the 3 button combo and it booted to CWM..so thats great...could you maybe elaborate on what you meant by overwriting the stock recovery...did I mess anything up by using the ADB method to install CWM...it says I'm supposed to have a recovery file on my SD card, but as I said, theres a file thats labeled ".backup" but its not on my external card..its under my drive for the actual phone memory...thanks again! I'm really new to the whole Android scene..I had an iphone for the past couple years and fairly good with jailbreaking..dont miss it at all tho..this is a bit more complicated but love the challenge! thanks for your help!

The concern would be if you did the procedure that DG described to put CWM on more than once. Since you did a backup of the stock recovery once, and installed CWM in place of it, if you did another backup of it, you would essentially be replacing your original backup with a backup of CWM instead. None the less, it's not really anything to worry about, because there is a backup of the stock recovery posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1270832 as well as the stock ROM. I just didn't want you to be surprised if you wanted to go back to stock and tried to restore your original recovery only to find that it is CWM that got backed up.
Make sense?
Yes, makes perfect sense..I actually did try that for the second time before I posted here...however, I moved the .backup file from the first try to my external SD card before I tried the second time...so I have a .backup file on my external card and the one from the second try on my phone memory...could i just delete the file from my phone memory and move the external file back? lol...just a thought...in any case, you have a good point with the stock recovery and rom available..thanks again for your help!

People talk about it but i cant find any thing other than people asking about it when searching clockworksmod, cwm
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257588
In the first post is how you go about installing CWM on your Thrill. Best thing to do is read through the posts and understand what you are doing before you start.
Great! Thanks again!
great that did the trick
for everybody who has trouble with where it says the rest will b done on the phones shell in cmd type:
all commands are done on the computer NOT the phone
kinda confused me
i've went through the steps that dg posted at least 5 or 6 times, and as far as i can tell, everything works in adb, but when i try to reboot, it just starts with the lg screen, then att screen and boots like normal, no cwm

Well guys....i think this problem stems from me prematurely removing the usb cord. I Understand that. But here is the other couple of predicaments. lol Ok i'm on ICS Stunna 4.3 ......well after something went wrong i'm unable to "repair" my internal storage. Everything still works smooth....but i can't add things to my internal card. Every time i hook up to the computer it says it needs to scan and fix the card.Well the problem is starts to fix it.....but never does....progress bar never finishes. Tried this on 3 different computers. Nothing.So try to install a different rom....i have some on my internal and external. Always aborts in cmw....never finishes. So on top of all this Stunna has started acting odd. Likely read errors.....but problem is i can't switch roms! lol I have tried everything. I was wondering should i format both cards? But if i do that how can i back everything up if i can't access my card? Any help would be appreciated guys. Hoping i don't have to Odin back to stock.
Cliffs- Internal storage won't repair on any computer-Can't install anything in CMW because of it
I have the exact same problem now, as you do. CWM can't install any .zip files, I can't flash Abyss kernel, so it's just stuck in that end.
I installed ICS Stunner 4.5 coming from GB with full wipe. This happened to me after I tried to copy some files over to external SD Card and it failed, seemed like the phone froze (SOD), so I figured flashing another modem would do the trick (read it in ICS Stunner thread's 1st post). Tried to transfer the file over a cable, but same thing happened. After rebooting I just grabbed it from dropbox and installed the modem successfully. I went ahead to try and fix the mounting problem, so I plug in the cable and it offers me to scan and fix both partitions (internal and external). External card finishes successfully, but not the internal one. And after that I'm in the same situation as OP.
Any ideas anyone?
Enable usb debugging(setting-appl-development)
Connect to pc
Select to copy file to fr computer from notification
You will find separate drive letter for int n ext card

Gonna try it now. Have lots of pictures to backup first tho
EDIT: Same thing happens as with scan and fix procedure. It starts and just sits there, nothing happens. When I try to stop "USB Storage in use" it just shows the spinner and hangs in there. Only holding the power button helps solve this. My guess is something in the internal SD card partition is broken... just can't say what or how to fix it.

Same problem^^^^ Not sure what to do about all this
Short story:
Formatting didn't work.
Long story:
Okay, so following the idea to format the internal sd card's partition, I achieved it not through Windows format dialog, but through the half-broken CWM. Both my SD Cards were formated (internal and external) in the process. So since I used the external one for backing up important info I had to use [email protected] UNDELETE to get it back (after booting to ICS). In the process the native SD Card mount service seemed like broken, I had to perform a few hard resets. Hangs seemed to occur whenever I tried writing to one of the cards. I downloaded multi-mount SD card app from Play Store and transfered AbyssKernel's .zip and now when I try to install it from CWM it says
Installing: /sdcard/AbyssNotekernel42RedTouchOriginalLogo.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...

And that's it... so basically back to the start. Any more ideas?
Please help if you have any ideas on what might work. Us 2 guys are in trouble...lol
I don't know if this will help or not but give it a try.
Enter into the download mode and flash any stock firmware using PC Odin. This way you don't need to access any of the cards. After flashing stock ROM, try fixing the internal SD again and if it still doesn't fix, send in your note to Samsung for repairs.
Sounds too simple to be working though but worth a shot.

Well for now the phone works, but it's stuck on ICS Stunner. I was thinking to use PC Odin or Mobile ODIN, but what if it doesn't work because the partition is corrupted in some way (as it is now, because CWM can't flash anything).
I'd like to hear more insight before I go the odin-way

I'm downloading an old GB rom myself..
While I am, I can share a thought: I feel that ICS is not yet ready.. at least not for me. Feels nice and fast but buggy USB transfers is a big no-go for me. Also after trying AOSP derived ROM, I decided to wait for a good Samsung edition ICS because all the little tweaks add a good feeling to the experience, I tend to miss them on AOSP or AOKP or w/e

I think my problem is used a .tar instead of .pit.....where can i get the .pit?

Too bad for me, since I had recovered the latest nandroid with undelete software (cus external sd was accidentally formatted) and now I'm getting a MD5 mismatch Guess I might as well start fresh now, since the last good backup is like 2 months old... Another lesson for me.. always keep your nandroids safe

Yeah. After quite a time of failed attempts we succeeded. ODIN > Stock GB ROM > ROOT + CMW > Anything you like. No re-partitioning was needed in the process
i have same problem but more complicated. iam on stock GB and its happened after flash bad kernel
the case in detail's :
i flashed wrong kernel on my device previously and now when iam trying to flash another kernel even use ODIN or CWM everything going well and completed but when check i found the old kernel still. i tried many times with same results and no error .
- system can read/write/mount the internal memory but the new pasted files deleted after restart. external card behave normal and i can preform flash using files pasted on it.
- in CWM wipe/format/flash operations running well but no effect on device even restarted to CWM only.
- device has yellow triangle. is it effected?
- the devil kernel stacked in machine is 2.6.35.7-gb4846d2 [email protected] #2 and the build no. is jpkj4
system running normal but cannot keep any changes i do if restarted.
-system rooted and no problem with root
-can access adb
- ODIN behave same CWM, operation work but no change.
can anyone help me guys?
i did repartition the memory useing PIT for note butno change also
thank you all in advance
I've been trying like crazy to make a bootable sd card to run cm9 with no success. the Cyanogen universal bootloader comes up, but when it goes to boot up the ROM it just sits on a black screen for about 15 seconds then reboots. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

It would be so much useful if you could also describe us which installation method did you follow.
Produced by NookColor at CM9 4.0.4
I followed verygreens method. Over the last 6 months, I've performed this method a good 30-40 times for cm7. From what I understand, I'm supposed to perform this same method for cm9. I've tried using both image installers just to make sure I was using the correct one

You need to rename the cm zip to begin with update-.
Or are you starting with a fresh SD burned with a new image? You should not get a cyanogen logo if you are. You should just get a loading followed by the penguin and some text. If you do not have the newest image, I think you can get it on leapinlar's tip thread.
I've tried it with the new image and the old one. I'm passed the penguin, it ran the text and shut off. When I turn it back on I get the cyano universal boot, then it goes to a black screen for about 10 or15 seconds then it reboots and will do this over and over again if I don't shut it down.

Ok, that means you are not in a recovery bootloop. And you do not need to repair any partitions on emmc. And given the fact that it boots to cyanoboot bootloader rather than the little penguin means the rom flashed successfully. The only thing I can think of is a corrupted download file for CM. Try re-downloading.
ok, now when i'm in the penguin stage with text, it reaches a point were is says it cant find initial install files. which i assume means it cant find the rom. in know your first thought is going to be that i didnt rename the rom update-, but i did. I am just adding update- to the beginning of the file name right? I'm not supposed to take away the cm- all together am i? it reads update-cm-9.

And it is on the boot partition, right? That name is OK.

yes it is. i ran it again and it took it, but now its doing the same thing it was before were it goes from cyanoboot to a black sceen for 15 seconds or so then reboots. the thing is i got this rom from a different source this time samiam303. could i be doing something wrong when expanding the partition? im expanding it to around 1g.

Why are you expanding the boot partition so large? And how are you doing it? And you are doing it before you boot the first time, right? You may be confusing the verygreen script that partitions the rest of the SD. It may be that the other partitions are not created right. Then when you flash, the rom is not installed correctly.

Are you expanding the boot partition prior to doing anything else?
It is important that if in windows... when you expand boot partition... do it before any other partition are on it... modifying ext partitions in windows will cause major issues... including moving them.
Also... how long are you waiting... initial boot after running the setup will have a black sceen for several minutes.
I'm expanding to1g because someone told me to do so. I'm expanding after restore to virtual hard drive, but before puting on cm9 file. Could it be because in expanding it to much? I'm using easy partition manger. I don't see a way to expand the partition before restore to virtual hard drive. In response to dizzyden, (like I said in my first post), after the cyanoboot screen it goes to the black screen for about 15 seconds or so then reboots and will continue to do so over and over until I hard power it. I'm aware that I'm coming off as an idiot but up until 6 months ago I'd never ever sat down at a computer. So thankyou for your patience

You should expand immediately after burning to the card. And 300Mb should be plenty for whatever you want to do. Anything more is just wasting your SD space. It is possible that having it so large did mess it up, but I don't know why it would. Just to be safe, I would boot without the zip on it and come back later after the first boot and it has partitioned the SD and put it on.

No problem urkle... Personally, I'd install CM7 on the SD and if/when it boots correctly... update it to CM9
Leap... I've only seen the size issue when boot partition is 2GB or larger... and don't ask me why I tried that LOL
OK, so I should burn the installer image, then expand the partition, then boot, then go back and put the cm9 zip on?

Yes
Still no change. Im still able to make cm7 burn without a problem, the only thing I'm doing different with the cm9 burn is position expansion.

Hmm, and it does do boot to emmc with the cyanogenmod boot menu? I suspect partition 2 issues on emmc, but it would not boot to emmc if that was messed up.
Edit: Why are you expanding the boot partition at all. To make CM9 fit? If that is the only reason, go get my version that has already been expanded. Your PC may be doing something to the card. You can get my version by visiting my tips thread linked in my signature.
