[Q] Major problem here!!! - LG Optimus 2x

1. I rooted my P990
2. I downloaded cyanogenmod 7.(something) and placed it in my internal storage (main folder).
3. Downloaded clockwork recovery and rebooted into recovery and chose something like install rom via internal SD.
4. So I installed, but it ended up with the machine rebooting with the cyanogenmod 7 logo on and then looping and if I try to enter recovery again then it shows software upgrade pleas wait (or something like it)
5. So how do I unbrick it?! Pleas help, HELP!

Hello!
Did you wipe the device before you installed CM7?
Try this...
Boot into recovery (press power and volume down until the LG-Logo changes and then release)...
Go to mounts and storage...
Format /system and /cache...
Go to advance and wipe dalvik cache.
Install CM7 (use one of the latest KANGS).
Install gapps...
Reboot.
Hope this helps.
More info and links in my last post of this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20409850#post20409850

Hold the powerkey a little bit longer and you should boot into recovery. I usually releases it when the second LG logo shows up
Wipe cache and reboot
Still stuck? Format data and cache, flash cm7 again (not really needed, but better safe than sorry)
Good luck

Thank you so much!!!

I also encountered this kind of problem when I first flash my phone with cm7 latest nightly. I always ended up in bootloop.
My "own" solution was I flash a different baseband first using smartflash,then root my phone,install cwm recovery,full wipe including dalvic cache,flash cm7,flash gapps.. fortunately,its a success. From then, I enjoy flashing almost everyday but now i'm sticking with cm7 nightly build 204.. hope this helps..

Hi,
I'm trying to get out off the stock rom, but I just can't
What am I dooing wrong.. (No SD card is used)
1) install CWM 4.0.0.5 (Int)
2) nandroid backup
3) Mount USB, to get the backup on to the PC
4) Smartflash Baseband 0606
5) NVFLASH stock rom (just replacing the recovery with CWM 4.0.0.5)
6) boot into CWM
7) Wipe Data/factory, cache, dalvik
8) Install zip (CM_p990_full-50), have also tried build 43
9) Reboot
10 ) crying... everytime it starts with FC of LGE everything. (10-13 popups, and endless loop in LG.SetupWizard)
Yes, I know i'm a NOOB, but this just makes no sence to me...
Please advice....

Yes, and it seams to work.
Then I did a Backto ext3 from cwm, and then tryed wipe and install CM. but now noting happers, it says "installing" but nothing like "writing to ...." and after that I'm stuck on the LG logo on an reboot.
Can't even restore back to my old rom....
so back to an NVFLASH for me and a restore...
Anyone.... Please HELP....
OK, that's proper weird.
From memory (and it's not that great as I'm on the Amigos) you wont see much other than 'installing..." when flashing CM, so wouldn't worry about that.
Did you do anything in recovery before applying the back to EXT3 patch? If so it might not have worked, as it needs /system and /data to be unmounted (found that one out for myself lol)
i had the same issue, try to reflash original cwm from ROM manager and youll be able to install cm7

I've no idea what you are doing. But I'm pretty sure there isn't supposed to be any "LG.SetupWizard" in CM7.
^ What he said. There is a SetupWizard.apk and an LGEServices.apk but no LG.SetupWizard. Or LG anything else, for that matter.
Hi,

I have the same problem coming from stock.
I have CWM 4.0.0.5 external installed. Took nandroid backup, wiped data and cache, flashed nightly 52, flashed gaaps and everything went fine but when I reboot I get stuck on the CM7 logo in an endless bootloop.
Thankfully I could restore stock but what I am doing wrong?
Try cwm 3.2.0.0 saved me.

[Q] can't find a good enough guide - CM7

hello all,
relatively new to the forum.
last couple of days i've been looking for a guide to installing CM7 on my O2X.
I failed! I can't find even one guide with a-z instructions.
please, can anyone point me to a guide?
I did read quite a lot and got 2 conclusions:
1. It scares the **** out of me
2. It needs rooting which i've already done day-1 using SuperOneClick 1.8
plz help me,
Eitan
1. Download ROM manager from market
2. Open ROM manager, install ClockworkMod Recovery
3. In ROM manager, Download ROM -> CyanogenMod -> pick your ROM
4. When your download are finished, choose "Backup" and "Wipe Dalvik-cache", press install
5. Thats it

Be sure to be rooted first
Don't forget in this method
1. You will loose EVERYTHING on the phone including the internal partition where mediabis located...
2. You cannot download Tom using the above meantioned way unless you've have premium rom manager
If you don't have premium version just download the update.zip and do install from SD

Couple of qs
If i do a backup before doing this through cwm can i just restore to that at any point?
Also if i download and place on my sd can i use this method for the modaco vanilla rom?
Will this also update the bb as well?

Warranty question
I'm aware that rooting voids your warranty. However, does anyone know if unrooting will make your phone look normal, and thus, applicable for the warranty?
can always install original rom at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035041 using smartflash.
Note: all data in internal SD will be erased. Hence unroot phone.

Backup and wipe in Rom manager after you picked your downloaded rom.
So open rom manager, select "install ROM from sd card", find your downloaded zip file (on external sd), select backup and wipe from the popup menu, install.
Your phone are going to reboot into recovery and install your zip automaticly. When its finished, it going to reboot again but this time you should see Cm7 bootscreen
DONE!

Can I ask two (potentially) stupid questions?
Say I want to use vorkkernel with the ext4 option:
1. Is ext4 considered stable enough for every day use?
2. How would I go about this? Format my internal storage to ext4, flash CM7 on, and then flash vorkkernel on with the appropriate flags?
Thanks.
Just flash the kernel, it will convert /system & /data to EXT4.
There is no going back to EXT3 afterwards though, you have to wipe everything to do that.
~HELP~ i followed the steps in beginning of post. CWM did its stuff ending with a CM7 installation. First boot of CM7 started and repeats endlessly.
How can I proceed?

[FIXED] ok, if this happens to any of you what I did to fix is:
1. shut the phone off by removing battery.
2. boot into recovery by pressing volume down and then while holding pressing power up.
3. in recovery: wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache & wipe data
4. in recovery: install from zip on sd card i chose the cm7 installation again.
(it can be found in clockworkrecovery foleder and inside in cyanogenmod folder
hope this helps.
Just one more thing... if, say, you install CM7 do I understand correctly that all apps bought before wiping everything will be lost and would have to buy tumor again??
Thanks for the help

What version of CMW do you have? Did you do a Full Wipe?
And for better compatibility be sure to come back to ext3 with backtoext3.

As far as I know Nova HD had some issues with flashing with full wipe. You can try to flash it 2 ways:
1. Flash NovaHD with full wipe and then flash it once again WITHOUT wipe. This should do the job.
2. Make a full wipe in CWM and then flash NovaHD WITHOUT wipe.
Hope it helps.

So much smattering out here
formatting /sytem before flashing?
useless... nearly every rom-package runs its own format command for /system, so its bullsh* to do it manually before.
if you want to get sure that /data is ext formatted, just use the format or datawipe option of cwm.
rooting makes problems?
cmon! the "rooting" is just for being able to install cwm, not for using it.
cwm will always have root when its flashed once.
the missing root part in stock roms is missing in the stock kernel, not in the phone itself.
do your wiping/formatting before you flash any rom, if you wanna clear all system relevant partitions.
some rom-flashables are writing into /data and when you do the data wipe after that, it will delete those stuff again.
if you have any bootloop problems after flashing its a kernel or /data problem.
try to mount /data in cwm, if it fails you know what the the problem is.
remove battery, hold vol-down, power keys when you put the battery back in, to get back into cwm and try to format /data until your data partition is fine again.
if the bootloop is still there try another kernel.

[Q] my phone (P970) can`t boot the rom

Hi guys,
I tried to upgrade my Optimus Black from Froyo to Gingerbread, but on Gingerbread the Play store doesn't work and I also tried to upgrade to a higher version. After finishing the upgrade to ICS said my phone "Security error" and rebooted to Recovery mode
I flashed my Optimus back to Froyo. After few minutes with new Froyo system asked me the system to update to a higher version, I allow the update and the phone rebooted.
After the phone rebooted i can`t make anything with him, always what i made finished the upgrade in Recovery mode
I read also article "[DEV] All-in-one flash/root/recovery unbricking script" the upgrade doesn't help me really.
Any ideas to wake my phone back to alive?
Thanks a lot for help guys! :good:

Pavol

It's nothing to worry about. It just means you didn't partition your sd card. I get the same "error" too when I want to wipe my Dalvik cache. Bare in mind that at the point when you get the error you haven't wiped your cache yet. You still have to select the option to actually wipe the Dalvik cache...

P880 won't boot after 442 flashing

Hi guys,
Need your assistance in this. I downloaded the 4.4.2, the Gapps (stock version), and the CWM Touch 6044. Flashed successfully the 6044. Rebooted, and flashed omni 442 and then the gapps. Did a wipe data/factory reset. Then pressed reboot device. The phone will restart and stay stuck at the Omni Logo. No progress from there at all. Did a few other reboots and different combinations to the above but to no result. Stuck there. Finally, did a restore from my backup just to have a phone again..Any idea what I did wrong from the start?
How long did you wait at the first bootup? It took quite long for me, so I'd suggest waiting up to 20 minutes before turning off the phone. Try flashing with the most lightweight Gapps package, that's what everyone seems to be using. You could also try wiping cache and dalvik cache.

Well, did the Dalvik cache but later on, when I was experimenting. I had waited at least 16/18 minutes till my patience ran out...
Decided to have one more go right now. 1. Did a wipe data / factory reset. 2. After that, wiped Dalvik cache. 3. Presently installing Omni and then will install gapps. 4. Will reboot and leave it to boot until I leave work. (couple of hours from now). And will see what happens.
- Forgot to add thaty in all instances, I selected YES in the "root" question in the end. -

Nothing changed. Stuck at the Omni logo for about 50 minutes..

So don't flash gapps and ROM back to back. Flash ROM then reboot and after waiting 5 mins reboot and flash gapps again.

Same result - has been in the Omni Logo for more than half an hour.
Can someone tell me the absolute prerequisites needed to install and boot normally? Apart from CWM Touch 6.0.4.4 that is?

I really don't see any more required steps to install OmniRom. Did you try another downloaded OmniRom? Maybe something is wrong with your used version.

all I did under mount & storage is the "format /system". Did not mount anything any other time. Is this part of the procedure too or are we shooting blind here? - Cause directions in the post say flash rom, flash apps, wipe data & reboot, let alone the 15 other combos I've done.
Haven't tried anything yet cause I need to re-download the ROM and presently I can't get any of my 3 PCs "see" the LG's contents like a flash drive. Can only do it in my work's laptop. Beats me why..
If you don't have important data, format internal storage too. No idea for 4.4, but if you flash kdz, this is a must.

It is important to mount everything as far as I know. In my old device's forum it always a step that is specified, I never see it in these forums though.
Try it, you don't loose anything.
