I just flashed new Touch Recovery from Rom Manager, anyone knows a possible way to flash it with fastboot?
Thanks,
Tiwiz

Here is the touch recovery with the scripts to flash it from windows mac or linux:

you can include it in the first post.

Don't like the BIG fonts in the recovery , you can't see all of the text of the zip files.

I quite liked it untill I failed to find a way to "power off"... Back to 5.0.2.8 for now.
Edit: But thanks The touch interface itself was a treat. The design made the direct "place finger on chosen option" approach, a little too clunky; but absolutely functional.
The real treat, was being able to use my touch buttons, rather than the mechanical power/volume buttons at the side and top of my phone.
Just a shame that there is'nt an option to shut down the phone for those of us with rebooting issues.

Umm.. wouldn't you likely reboot the phone after flashing something?

Yes, but rebooting seems to drastically increase the chances of my phone, not detecting my external SD card.
So CWM for me is something like:
1: Turn off phone ----> Pow + Vol = CWM
2: Power off when done with CWM
3: Turn phone back on.
Reboot and I'm going to have to have to shut down the phone regardless, because my external SD is'nt being detected.
I suspect it's because CWM mounts storage in one way, CM in another and LG stock in a third way; some sort of mounting information is carried over when rebooting and my storage management bugs out.

i also have this problem but when you are booted in the rom just reinsert your sdcard and it will be mounted no big deal for me

Isn't it more simple to have a power off option?
Opening your phone each time you perform a soft reboot...

I also have this "problem" but when booted phone after CWM no need to reinsert sdcard, just rebooted once more and everything`s fine. Today I`ll try new touch CWM.

I'd still prefer for power off to be implemented into CWM Touch.
Shutting it down and turning it back on is faster than rebooting and it's not an option with RAMhack kernels either.

No need for wipe, it should work on any cwm.

Alright, I flashed it and everything works fine! Thanks again mate!

I had the same problem and followed your method in earlier CWM. But with new CWM Touch, external SD card mounts ok when directly rebooted into system. No problem after 5/6 rebooting. Try and see.

My Optimus 2x is in a boot loop, help!

Hi,
I have a problem with my Optimus 2x, it is rebooting without end, like in a loop !
1-the phone turns ON, the LG logo appears
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

2-then the scrolling image appears
3-then after 2 seconds, the phone automatically shut itself OFF
4- and then the phone automatically turns ON again. We are looping back to 1- without end.
What can I do to fix this problem?
I have important Memo notes and sms I don't want to loose !!
For information, I have this phone since April. On May, I have rooted the phone using Super One Click. Since then the phone was working perfectly. I never flashed a ROM on the device. The problem happened just after a normal usage of the phone.
I really need your help..
Chris
Not sure why this would happen on stock rom with normal usage I've only encountered this problem after flashing other roms, I used nvflash but if you go down that route you will lose everything. Tried battery out and sim for a few minutes?

If u have backed up using clock work mod .. then u can boot into recovery and restore

It was a stock ROM with normal usage. To be precise the problem arise, just after I selected the autorun option of the application Total Recall.
I have tried battery, sim, sd-card out, no success, the phone did not boot normally (not even once). As I can see nvflash is not an option as it is erasing everything.

Sorry, I didn't see your reply.
Kdz is only LG's firmware format.
All LG's phones can be flashed with kdz file by kdz tool (aka kdz updater).
Refer to this.
And Kdz tool at here.
and you have to need some kdz file for your p990.
(I have not but someone has it.)
In my case(su660) the type is "CDMA" and phonemode is "CS_EMERGENCY".
Request someone's advices more for p990.

Boot into recovery (holding Volume down and Power button) and factory reset, had the same problem yesterday when flashing CM7. Running fine now
I have looked at Smartflash, it is for flashing the Baseband (not the ROM itself), that means the software that has the GSM driver WiFi driver.
I don't see how Smartflash could help retrieving my phone with the important memos and sms.
Given that my phone is not booting, what can I do to retrieve the important memos and sms?
No, Smartflash will install stock ROMs in a .bin format as well.
Can you boot to recovery? (hold power and vol-)

As I have the stock recovery (the standard one that you get when buying the device), what will happen when I boot to recovery ? (does it do full erase of data?)
Four months ago I have rooted the phone using Super One Click. But I did not changed anything else: the recovery and the ROM are still the stock ones.
Yeah to the best of my knowledge, if you try and boot to the stock recovery, you will just get an automatic factory reset.

Use LGmobile update tool to reflash stock firmware.
Things you need:
1) LG mobile update tool
2) Phone USB cable
3) Phone IMEI number. You can find it under the phone's battery.
Things to do:
1) Start LG mobile update tool and install the LG P970 USB drivers.
2) Remove the phone battery
3) Hold the Up button and plug in the USB to your phone.
4) Click 'Customer Support' and choose recovery phone. From there, it will ask
you for your phone's IMEI number. Follow the instructions from the tool.
After you are done, repeat what you have done before.
As for step 6. The install ROM from SD card option is found the ROM manager app that you have installed.
Hope it helps
If you have successfully installed CWM recovery 4 or higher, then just press the volume down key while turning on your phone. You should be able to go in recovery mode again which will allow you to install zip from SD card.

Thanks for explaining what I wrote.
You can press the thanks button at my post for giving information but actual credit for a to the developers around here who tried hard to give best with our beloved optimus black. Since our phone doesn't have any hard home button like Samsung 's galaxy phone it was quite good that we can use recovery mode by volume and power buttons.
Also to say, if you plug charger and then turn on your phone and in between you take out the battery from phone, it wil also take you into recovery mode!
thanks,It works

Well, i didn't say it works in CM. The OP seems to flashing CM for the first time. And if stock rom is flashed with this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206175 .. well, in NOVA rom it goes in recovery mode with power+volume down. But you are right, it is a ROM feature, it's not related universally to the CWM itself. So i am sorry for not explaining this in my post.

You have to enter your IMEI number AND change the phone model, maybe even add the S/N number and then everything should work just fine.

[Recovery]TWRP recovery for Optimus 4X HD

Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP recovery) for LG Optimus 4X HD​
Here's the TWRP recovery for LG Optimus 4X HD
Origin site http://www.591fan.com/thread-30056-1-1.html
Credit to @Dexter_nlb for BootStrape/CWM recovery work
HOWTO install​
- If you installed the CWM reocvery by @Dexter_nlb, remember to press install recovery again, so the changes take effect.
- Get your o4x root'd,
- Download the APK file and install it
- after installation reboot mobile once (if you do not, the app might fail installing recovery)
- start the LG 4X Recovery app
- press - Install recovery - grant superuser access when prompted
--- Three option lines in the app: 1st Install Recovery, 2nd Reboot Into Recovery, 3rd Normal Reboot
- wait for success OK, if it fails, something is wrong or SU is not properly installed or denied su access. you should set permissions to granted for this app
- after successfull installation, you can press boot recovery and boot into the twrp recovery and make your backups or install custom roms
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Warning && Issue​
- DO NOT use the "Formate Date" function in wipe menu, this will make a soft brick, if U did this by mistake, U can reboot into stock recovery and run the "wipe date/cache" function to solve the soft brick.
- This recovery only supported the "standard update.zip" packages, this means some update.zip package which used none standard( EG: some cwm backup style update.zip for 4X HD atm) won't work on this recovery.
- For some reasons this recovery not support cwm bakcup package, only support TWRP backup package style(This is the TWRP issue). But, anyway, I'll make a patch for this later to support cwm backup package.

Just had a bit of a nightmare situation, and would like to offer this advice to people:
**Always check that TWRP automatically turns your screen off after a few seconds of inactivity! **
I didn't. I left it alone backing up for 45 minutes and when I got back the screen was flickering like crazy.
As a result of my negligence my phone screen was almost permanently damaged, and on reboot my WIFI and 3G connections both completely stopped working.
:crying:
Luckily I've managed to fix the connection issue by rolling back to ICS, and the screen appears to be returning to normal by itself.
But heed my warnings - the last three hours have not been fun.
Anyway, off to install CM10.1 now
:fingers-crossed:

Yes, I had the same problem!
i noticed the same but it also happened when screen was off.
i found out in some situations while using twrp the graphics chipsets updates the drawing parts (gui, ...) even if theres nothing more to update on the screen. it also does that when screen is "off"/timed out.
thats why i also took down my gbootmenu cause of twrp. dont want risk any possible damage to our devices.

Yes it went off for me, too

TWRP 2.6
Is there already anywhere a TWRP 2.6 for P880 compiled ?
oh, finally 2.6 is out. will take a look on it and release it on my 2.5.0.0 thread.
this thread is outdated and not used by people with unlocked bootloader (it also didnt work for me with ics and locked bootloader)
edit: its out since 2 weeks, but the branch is still named twrp2.5, and the branch twrp2.6 is outdated so it confused me.
edit2: 2.6 released => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2321124

[Q] [I9001] SGS+ bricked/broken

Hey guys,
I own a SGS+ and tried to flash a ROM a few month ago.
Not sure which one it was in particular but it was a 4.1.2 ROM.
Normally it worked pretty well but that time it broke my phone apparently.
So now a few month later I tried to get it to work again.
My phone stucks at the splashscreen, easy said.
It boots till the splash screen and then it's on for about 3-4 minutes I guess and then the screen turns off.
But apparently it still runs because if I try to start it again over the power button it doesn't work.
I have to remove the battery, insert it again and then I can use the power button.
I tried several things and I'm out of information here.
So maybe one of you guys can help me out here?
Thanks for reading!
Try wiping cache an dalvik cache and fix permissions. If that doesn't help do a full wipe and install a new rom. If it still doesn't work, flash a stock rom via odin. Also, which recovery are you using?

Already did everything you mentioned, multiple times.
Well I used at first CWM 6.0.1.2 then switched to 6.0.2.8, then 6.0.3.2, then 6.0.3.6 and then TWRP 2.4.0.0 and TWRP 2.6.0.0.
I tried those who should be for the bricked phones.
Try to flash a new kernel, then flash a new ROM. You should be able to get into download mode...

That's not the problem.
I can get into download mode, I could get into download mode all the time.
I don't think you got my problem right:
My phone stucks at the splash screen.
Doesn't turn off only screen turns off but the phone is still running.
I can only reboot if I take the battery out.
So it boots up to the splashscreen and stucks.
I flashed a few new roms and nothing worked.
If you can get into download mode, try flahing a stock rom via odin.

Download BroodRom(Not ics or jb just the old GB edition) it's a lifesaver.
1.Go to recovery.
2.Format EVERYTHING(data, cache, dalvik AND system.)
3.Download mode
4.Flash broodrom with Odin.
That should work!

Not really, still the same.
My phone still stucks in splashscreen.
Does nobody else know a solution?
I can flash normal, go to download mode easily and everything else too.
It just stucks in the splashscreen.
Follow my tutorial about how to flash back to stock. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44047896&postcount=2

Maybe you didn't flash appropriate ROM for your device. Read this thread, especially the first post by our forum mate xsensman and try to check if it could be concerning also your device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890667
Even through I know how to flash, I tried the two links from the guys above and tried them.
Again nothing happened either.
Flashing was okay, everything was fine.
Unfortunately the phone still stucks in splashscreen.
No one else knows what I could do?
verify serial No

Mate, something is strange there. With splashscreen you mean bootloop, right? So you see the logo, but the phone doesn't really loads the Android?
OK, here we go: please remove the battery and write down your serial No and google a bit is it really i9001? There are about 20 different types of SGS so just to make sure which model do you have.
That bootloop can happen for several reasons, but I would assume that in your case it happens either for:
bootloader isn't working properly
you haven't flashed the proper ROM for your device.
I suspect very strongly the bootloader, so re-flashing the bootloader via Odin, theoretically, should revive your phone. Just check (as written above) do you REALLY have i9001, (as otherwise -if not- you could brick it with the bootloader for i9001):
First post, "5. Follow the instruction" (all files there)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32144697
I'm 100% sure that I have a real i9001, not a special edition or something like that.
And I flashed before it got broken a few month and the roms worked just fine.
Well but then it broke somehow.
I just see that my phone with the CWM-Recovery can't format /data and hangs.
Can't do anything unless I remove the battery and boot up again.
Could this be a hint for you guys?

Did you flash the bootloader as I've wrote you in my previous post?

I have no idea what may that be, but are you sure your phone is bricked?
Have you tried to use normal TWRP 2.6 instead of that one for bricked phones?
I don't know, but maybe this helps:
Guide: How to Recover from a bootloop http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660596
@tetakpatak: Yes, I did it like the post "suggested".
@3L4CK_5C0RP10N: No, I'm actually not sure, that's why I wrote "bricked/broken".
I'm not the best guy at those things as you can guess.
No, I didn't tried the normal one, gonna try it now, atleast it's worth trying.
I read the post you linked me here and tried those things, unfortunately nothing happened.
Even tried it with ADB, also no solution found there.
But thanks already for the work guys!
suggest you try the following:-
1) power it down, remove battery, remove SIM card and Ext SD card and press and hold your power button for at least 30 seconds to a min, before reinserting battery and entering CWM recovery
2) In CWM recovery, enter Mounts and Storage and Format every partition, that can be formatted, repeat it twice ( You will lose all your data ) meaning you will be trying to get a clean environment for a fresh start. Do not reboot but pull out battery, press power for a few seconds and insert battery.
If you need your data, in mounts and storage, enter usb storage, here with usb connected to PC you can copy your entiere internal SDcard to PC, for salvage later.
3) get into Download mode, to flash the oldest i9000 Stock ROM 2.3.3 with AriesVe.ops using Odin 4.43 ( with ops ticked) How to flash follow this

Easiest way would be to flash speedmod kernel with Odin 1.87 (or 1.85). It comes with a custom recovery.

Messed up 3 button recovery/download and CWM
Hi I received a Samsung Captivate as a backup option oh 4 months back or so. I use an sgh-i717 and have absolutely zero experience with the captivate. The other day though my Note starting having charging issues so I decided I better set up the Captivate in case the need actually comes for it. Well it already had CWM Recovery and a custom rom, I believe Continuum. Well I wanted to change the ROM but the information I was reading wasn't working and in my frustration I must've messed something up, but I do have step by step log that I wrote during whole process. I've already been reading a bit here but hoping someone can help speed me to info I need since I'm so utterly clueless to this phone.
Ok my current state is this. When booting the phone it displays AT&T screen then a screen that has the word Talon on it and there it remains. The USB apparently stopped working right before it was given to me although unsure to cause. Now the Download/Recovery 3 button combo did work but somehow I broke that and so now I cant really do anything without some help.
Ok here is log of what I did.
1. Boot into CWM
2. wipe data/factory reset
3. Cache wipe
4. Format SD Card
5. Format Cache
6. Format Data
7. Format System
8. Wipe Dalvik Cache
9. Power Off

Well basically you erased everything on your phone without flashing another ROM, hence why it won't fully boot up.
If your usb port isn't working, you'll have to use an external sd and put a ROM + kernel on it (that are 2.2). I suggest Firefly and Speedmod. From there, you'll have to boot in recovery and flash both (ROM first).
Without a working usb, you can't use Odin to flash the stock image on your phone so hope that you can get in recovery!
