[Q] Optimus Black Nova version 11c - black screen

Hi Devs and fellow android users!
I recently updated my Optimus black Nova 7 to version 11c (I just updated it now cause I lost my Optimus 2x a couple of days ago ). After installing and rebooting, my android goes into a boot loop. LG icon shows up in screen with black background and Capacitive buttons blinking then the phone switches off then starts up doing the same thing. There's a FAQ about this:
Q. ZOMG, the screen is black and LEDs are blinking forever after flashing, why?
A. Calm down, sometimes happens. Remove battery and try again, it'll work.

I tried removing the battery multiple times but nothing happens - still doing the boot loop. Also I forgot to do a backup and Debugging (i think) is turned off (since I copied the 11c zip file from my desktop through USB so I turned USB debugging mode off and forgot to turn it on).
Have I bricked my phone?

Update:
I missed this part:
Q. How to use eRecovery? new
A. After powering on start twiggling volume or G keys
until screen goes blank for a moment.

I am able to boot into recovery now [CWM v4.0.1.4]. I tried installing the zip (11c) from sd card then reboot my phone but it still goes into a bootloop.

Hum... aren't you mistaken Nova rom and Nova kernel ? When you say Nova 7 are you talking about the rom ?

Oh crap lol It's been a while since I visited the site to check some updates.
Thanks for pointing it out lol Yes, I remember flashing my black Nova rom but i think its only 7.
To recap.
1. my Optimus Black is on Nova rom v7.
2. Then I updated my kernel to version 11c (I thought this was rom - my mistake!)
Am I screwed?

Ok so all is explained. Kernel v11c is only for CyanogenMod (Gingerbread). You can't use it with Nova rom (Froyo). So you can stay with Froyo using Nova rom v8 or go to Cyanogen Nightlies (or Kangs by Temasek) and use Nova Kernel v11c.
Hope you're not confused with what I say.

So, the v11 kernel works for you in nova v8? Did i understood you right?

No!
v11 is only kernel for CM7 (Android 2.3)
Nova 8 is a room (Android 2.2) and use a Quasar Kernel

Sorry but im not asking you.

Kernel got reverted back when I applied nova v8 rom. So like what axpira said, v11 is only for 2.3

Request: MIUI GB based on Sharp fix 1 and kernel 2.6.35.7

I was wondering if someone could port a stable version of MIUI GB with radio and HDMI based on the modded sharp rom and kernel 2.6.35.6 because everything works there. It would be a great help as it would work 100%
Thanks in advance
If you could also point out how to port the radio and HDMI drivers for GB, that would also help. Thanks.

Two things
1. There's already a .35 based port by nitindeck.
2. Nobody has successfully ported HDMI and FM drivers to any custom roms yet.

Actually - This isn't true. GB roms like this one :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367974
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526848
which are based on stock and Sharp rc1 have everything working. But only GB. I actually want a similar ROM with miui settings, music, statusbar and launcher.
If i'm wrong, please don't get mad. Im a bit of a newbie
Thanks for the response

The ROMs you've quoted, like maclite macdragon, sharp mod fix 1, etc., don't quite fit in the definition of CUSTOM ROMs. They're just stock ones that have bloatware removed and are rooted. You can make those yourself by flashing an .nb0, installing CWM, taking a nandroid backup and edited through dsixda kitchen found in the forums.
The ones that are real custom ROMs like CM7 and MIUI don't have FM n HDMI working yet.
PS. for thanking a useful post I recommend the thanks button!
Peace

Takes slightly more than that :laugh:
The reason they work is the binaries are compiled exactly for that phone and are not ported or recompiled sources from elsewhere/other hardware (incl. MIUI). Unfortunately none of the manufacturers has given us proper sources for ICS to follow step. The closest it gets is the Sharp ROM, which has the newer kernel, still is GB. Kind of hybrid. If I'd make a ROM today I'd probably base it on that, same as the chaps at droidsans are doing. For the simple reason everything works...

CM10 (can't remember which nightly I used) doesn't have those problems either.
Apparently ShenduOS is also really good. I haven't had time to test it yet.

you obviously dont know how to use the phone. latest cm10 nightly dont have that bugs, maybe the battery drain but it depends on how you use the phone but my experience with any gb roms specially stock is the same battery life with cm10, so everyone can use it now as a daily driver aside from you caveman who dont know how to use your ob.

nightly from 20121111 or 20121114 have an exelent battery duration, the only issues that I had so far, is GPS takes around 10 minutos to lock a satelite, and the camera crashes every time you try to record a video, photos works great

Does som1 has the problem that the softkeys aren't working?? i did all 3 wipes but they still don't work
Can you guys please tell me what firmware (KDZ/AP+CP) you are using?? or is it a hardware issue??
When using CWM or CynMod7 (boype's) they respond great, but using cm10 they don't work at all (not responding, lights are on!)

I had the same issue and solved formating /system. I'm using RR JB v3.

Doesn't make much sense, if you flash a stock ROM you need to root first to flash a custom ROM and if you want a custom ROM why flash a stock ROM first?

[Q] bugs in ics based roms?

hi ppl, i have noticed that in the nemesis X rom and marvel v10 rom, which are both based on ics, when ever i do a reboot to my phone, i need to change my call ringtone and notification sound back to what it was before the reboot. its like it comes back to default sound in each reboot.
i thought at first it was a nemesis X bug, but now i see it happen on marvel v10 rom aswell, have you had that problem also??? maybe you got a solution for that???
i will try the IZS rom and check if it happen there also. cause i guess if it does that probably it a bug in ICS stock version, or am i wrong, cause im not a developer or that sort, just like to dig around the system.

Use IZS...its the best ics based rom now available...with respectable battery n very good performance...almost bugless..atleast i didnt face any
