So every post or site i find thru google, including the main post on here, that tells you how to do it, and gives you the zip with all the files in it that oyu need, the link to download that zip no longer works, i've tried so many different links, all of them thru multiupload and it always errors. So can someone help me find a working link, or just tell me everything that is in the zip so i can download it individually ! The help would be much appreciated !
well after lots of frustration i finally found the right files and my phone is rooted. I installed Busybox (super user was auto-instsalled when rooted) and i put CWM on there. SO now that i have clockworkrecovery, how exactly do you boot into recovery mode on the LG ? I kno how to do it with the droid x and droid 2 global, but this is my first non-Motorola android phone.
apparently, when i was in CLockworkMod, i selected the downlaod rom option so i could see what roms where there, and it says I need to install clockworkreocvery first (thought it was already installed) and so i click install, but the list of phones that pops up does not have my phone on it, the only LG phone it has is the Esteem. So how do i get ClockWorkRecovery to install and work ?

What you are using is an app called ROM Manager and you cannot install Clockworkmod Recovery from that app. No features on that app are compatible with the Revolution.
You need to go to this thread to download and install Clockworkmod Recovery. Just follow the instructions in this post and it will get you Clockworkmod Recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348557
yea i already had it installed, ClockWorkMod just seems to think it isn't, but if i click the reboot into recovery option from within ClockWorkMod, it does indeed boot into ClockWorkReocvery just fine. But I wasn't aware that clockworkmod didn't work for LG Revolution. Why is that ? I loved using it when I had my Droid X. They should fix that !
and so where can i find the ROMs for the LG Revolution ? I would also like to find some themes and what not.

The other ROMs listed on theunlockr.com are most likely Froyo builds. There are only 2 Gingerbread builds. Just flash the kernel, then you can use an app like SetCPU or CPUtuner or ROM Toolbox Pro (recommended) to adjust the kernel settings.
How do you flash the kernel ?

Just like you would a ROM, then grab some kind of CPU tuning app so you can overclock or underclock, whichever you want.

I have it installed and use it. You need an older version to install the CWM recovery. I will post a download link later for the older version. Once downloaded and installed it will not update. It's the free version not the paid app so some features will not work unless you pay for it. But it flashed the correct recovery just fine for me.
Below is the link to an older ROM Manager that worked for me to install CWM Recovery on my LG P925G I just selected the LG Optimus 3D option as my phone is marketed as O3D but is actually the LG Thrill renamed for Rogers

Since 2.2.3 is an antiquated version of Android, there are no ROMs based on it. All Droid developers have put their efforts into maintaining Gingerbread (2.3.x) on the phone.

I just got a droid a couple days ago and had this problem. What i did to fix it was used rsdlite to downgrade using the .sbf file for android version 2.2.2. Once at stock android 2.2.2 i rooted(search for tutorials its pretty easy). Once your rooted download rom manager. If you go into rom manager, flask clockworkmod recovery, then browse the downloable roms on rom manager you can find Peter Alfonso's roms. He has a rooted stock 2.2.3 rom. It is a long process but it works for me after not being able to find a way to root 2.2.3. Hope this long explanation helps.

You need to rename a file on your /system partition that overwrites clockwork.

You will need to remount /system as read-write to do this.
Can you provide more detail? Where did you find the 2.2.2 .sbf file?

Hi guys
I am trying hard to flash my phone with the latest stable Cyanogenmod (7.1)
But I am facing some issues..
Here is what has happened so far:
I have tried a couple of times now, but every time it just hangs on the blue LG startup logo..
Please explain this to me, as if I know nothing at all. (I feel this way)
So here is a list, of how I think I should do:
1: Reflash with Nvflash, so the phone actually becomes bootable
2: install Rom manager (It is not available in China) but I have an .apk So now I install File manager from market, first.
3: Root phone
4: startup
5: start Rom manager, run "flash clockwordmod recovery" select "LG/T-mobile G2X" (Is this the right one?)
6: Choose "reboot into recovery"
7: Choose Factory reset-> Wipe cache and install zip from SD (First CM7.1 then Gapps)
8: Reboot (This is where it hangs on the marvellous blue LG logo)
I think I might be doing something wrong regarding the Recovery (No. 5 or 6)
But please point out what I might be doing wrong..
Looking forward to yoyur assistance

You did it wrong by step 5 you have to choose lg optimus 2x and not lg g2x of t-mobile

Thanks tekingenc for a very fast reply.
I just do not have the option for the optimus 2X.. Is my clockword old?
I am in China and Clockworkmod has been blocked (Not commenting on that) on the market. So I am using an APK for installation, via File manager (Astro is also blocked)
Any clue as to where I might find a version that includes p990?
Which version of Rom manager do you have?
The latest is 5.0.0.6

Thanks. I just want something really stable. As you've guessed I don't know a lot about these things. I just wanted something that was a bit more responsive than the stock, provided from LG (I can't believe hos slow it is) Which made my p990 feel as fast as my HTC Legend..
Its probably better to install a ROM via the CWM console instead of using ROM manager .. Specially if you have differently mapped sdcard mount partitions.. But then ROM manager isnt that bad

hi all guys...i just bought the optimus x2 lg......i still new to all it's features but i m not completly noob to phones i know lots of things. The thing i want to ask is: whats is all about the change to Cyanoenmod? where it helps? should i do it also?

CyanogenMod is nothing more than a custom rom for your phone. You can change your rom after you've rooted your phone. A rom is more or less the software what runs on your phone.
You probably got your O2X fresh out of the box with a stock (crappy) LG rom on it. Well, my advise is to change your rom because sooner or later you'll find out that the stock rom is really bad.
You don't 'have to' change to CyanogenMod, because this is obviously your choice. There are many other custom roms in the dev section like MIUI, or improved stock roms. You just have to read the threads, look at the screenshots, read the reviews and make up your own mind.
Hi all,
I have European Version of the Galaxy Tab 8.9 P7310 Wifi only.
I at least waited for the official Stock ICS Update to finally go and root my phone now. My first impression is that I made my life a little bit harder now.
As is can see so far in the forum there is only the possibility to flash CWM recovery from odin and after that go root as described in suwandiapr thread here:
**NEWEST P7310 ICS FOR USA RETAIL**[STOCK ROM]GT-P7300/P7310 odin image at One Place
Now I have a few questions. Can I use this method described in the thread for my European Galaxy Tab as well?
Can I use a CWM 6.0.0.8 file to flash with odin? Or only the versions shown in the thread?
Should be possible to unpack the "recovery.img" from a flash file prepared to be flashed from recovery, right? For example the one in the TOOLKIT thread from nirogu325 that is inside the Toolkit package
[GUIDE & TOOLKIT][8.04.12] One-stop Guide for 7300/7310
Finally, is there a possibility to flash root file from stock ics recovery. Becaus only possibility if have in stock recovery is to choose option "apply update from external storage" and when I choose this option the phone will show me "E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard]" and I have no access to my data in /sdcard folder.
Thanks for your replys.
Feels like people aren't searching....
I answered similar question yesterday...
I would recommend to use the stock ICS file for Odin flash. If you want, you can follow that up with an Odin-flashable recovery & a root.zip flashed from recovery.
see e.g.
Odin-flashable recovery (I still prefer the slightly older 5.1.2.6 - for a more complete and logical menu than 5.5.0.4; and more reliable than 6.x)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30839339&postcount=52
for root package:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30837767&postcount=47
Edit, to answer your other questions.
- There is no Odin package for cwm 6.0.0.8, so you can't use that directly over stock ICS.
- you can not use stock ICS recovery to flash anything at all, no root.zip, no nothing. Reason is that it does not mount sdcard correctly
- all of this will work on p7300/7310 of any region
Sorry fred_be9300, I searched a lot before opended this thread. Maybe not good enough, but I just want to get sure that I do everything correct before bricking my device.
So, thanks for your answers, this helped me to be completly sure what I have to do.
I sucessfully flashed the CWM with ODIN and after that installed the root.zip from CWM Recovery.
It was easier than I thought before, verything worked fine for me. Now I´m happy with my rooted Stock ICS for the moment and hoping for some more cool custom roms!
Thanks a lot!

Probably whatever was the first root package you tried, has messed things up. It may be preventing the other packages from installing properly.
It might work to run an unroot package to clean up; not tested that myself.
I vouch for the success of installing ICS + CWM5.1.2.6 + kk_root_ics. Try it clean, if nothing else works.

Wow you really picked up an oldie!
I would recommend you move on to a newer ics *for p7300* though. The one you are on now, was ported in August, from the initial p7500 (tab 10.1) ics release. When used on p7300, it tends to give battery miscalibration issues after one or several charge cycles. The thread you linked is full of the complaints.
