I think that smartflash wipes evrything during the procedure so there will be no data when you will enter cwm. So guess this won't work if you want to keep your data.

How? It´s first time i will install a ROM i have root and clockworkmod. And i need to wipe data factory reset. That will not erase everithing on the phone?. If i wipe data how i will install the ROM. Please just do a quick tutorial.
Thanx
Since you are rooted already, copy the ROM to your SD Card go into recovery mode and wipe data wipe partition go into advance mode wipe dalvik cache then come back select install from SD Card the install. You will only loose your apps but your files and media remains. Remember the first you flash it won't be successful cos of changes in partition but don't worry remove battery, go into recovery and flash again and you will be successful.

Its always recommended to do a backup of your apps before flashing a ROM. I prefer titanium backup

Do a backup in cwm recovery. If you want to you can restore the phone completly to it's iriginal state. Just remember to move the back up file to your pc, in case your internal card gets wiped

Yesterday when i try flash. I wiped data factory reset and cache but i have not put the zip on the internal memory. In recovery i put.mount usb but when i open a folder on the pc. Pc frezze and if i unmont usb pc works again. What i have to do to fix that? It will be hard if i put backup on pc and if delete my backup on phone. So im afraid on that step. Im not a noob user in pcs and smartphones but its first time i will do that. And the first time is harf.
Thx again all.

Factory reset only resets phone settings, it doesn't actually wipe the SD card clean of all files, so feel free to reboot into your current ROM and then transfer the Zip file, then reboot, wipe Cache, Dalvik Cache and Factory Reset
OR, try a different PC or different USB port to mount from within Clockworkmod. Mount USB should work OK.
Thx all. Now i free to test. Close thread please!

Well I have one more folks. I installed V20J bin and fls thu Smartflash. Phone is doing good but when I go to Rom Manager it says my phone is not rooted and can't find superuser. Superuser is in the root of the SD card. I'm trying to back up my phone. Doesn't seem to recognise the SD card at all

Mine does not go into recovery
then that means your v20j has not been patched with cwm.... install a patched rom thru sft and you will get it to reboot to recovery

Got a boot loop by rom toobox

Hello i installed rom tool box pro and i saw some options to change the icons of wifi.I did a bakup too and installed the icons but unfortunately it was stored on internal memory.Then it asked reboot and when i rebooted got a boot loop.
How to fix this? Is there any way to get the backup file from my internal memory?
Thanks.
If you have access to recovery, use aroma file manager. You will have to place the aroma zip on sd or internal storage and flash via cwm. Then you will have a file manager to work with

You can flash Phliz kernel in stock recovery. That will give you CWM and root, find it here:

So why don't you just do that what you asked for in the torrent thread? Download and install a Stock Rom. After that you have "clean" state and can start again.
Or download some of the Custom Roms here and follow the installation instructions. Same result but already on Custom with all the benefits.

[Q] about ROM JB Zaiben by Siauka

Hi all,
I have a problem with this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203700
I install the .zip file with CMW.
After wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, format system I reboot.
And the phone does not boot.
It stops at the LG logo.
Any solutions?
I tried also with TWRP

Dude 1st: format/wipe everything
2nd: install/flash rom
still nothing...
I install it again without re-flashing kdz
is it right?
or I need to flash the kdz, wipe all then install?
now I use TWRP recovery.

Probably now you have some kind of tutti-frutti of files in your phone...
Better flash your phone with .kdz or other method, after that follow the tutorial.
Did you flash from ICS? You need to be on V20 (JB) before you flash it.

Oh, just realised you stated you formatted system. You're not supposed to do that since /system contains the ROM, so it wouldn't boot past kernel logo.

TWRP is the same of CMW?

I sugest you to use adb instead of terminal.
Once that you facrtory reseted the phone, check if you didn't forgot nothing... root, etc...
Try install SuperSU if you have Superuser.

nope, just root and flash CWM
you can backup your data and restore it later again (but only data, nothing else )
