Hello.
If you phone is briked and not rebooting. But you flash any Recvoery. Then they must do:
1. Power Off LG Optimus Black
2. Power on
3. Quickly press: Volume Down
4. PROFIT!!!
Worked on any ROM
I think that you first need to flash erecovery or grecovery

True that, should only work, if g- or e-recovery is included in the ROM... If not, there also wont be a boot into cwm, but you mostly can try adb reboot recovery from your PC
Yeah, the easiest is using adb, in my case, i use qtadb, the best, in my opinion
Hum,
I've used this method on my own ROM, on which i didn't integrated e-recovery or g-recovery
(And even on very stock with CWM)

Nope, official CM7 has this function, and it doesn't have g/e-recovery. So I think all the others cm7 based also have it.

It is work on ANY ROM.
If you did't instal g/e-recovery, then it is WORK!

New way to reboot into RECOVERY, I don't see any new steps, I see the same old steps to get into recovery.

Hey noejn, can I just replace the old cwm with this? Or I must remove it first? If so, how?

Hi,
Congratulations for that fantastic work.
I ran this Nova Recovery and I selected "Wipe Data" option, to reset to default settings. Then I select the rebbot device option. (Later I wiil install the Nova Rom)
But now when on the boot device they stay on same black screen flashing the 4 below lights.
Can anyone help me?
Lol, when you wipe data it will take a bit more time to boot.
I'm waiting for more than 15 minutes
Is the phone bricked?
As I can't access to any application, is there any way to enter in recovery menu?

If you don't have Nova ROM and you can't boot directly into recovery and you're stuck in the boot whenever you power it on, then you'll have to flash a firmware.

If you haven't nova, you cannot directly boot to recovery. Two ways:
Remove the battery and try again. It will probably fix nothing and may be harmful.
Or go to the firmwares flashing tgread and use method 1 by modaco to reflash stock firmware and do from there.

No, I don't hava a Nova Rom (I have the original rom).
I try remove the batery and power on it again, but the problem keeps.
So, I will try this:
"go to the firmwares flashing tgread and use method 1 by modaco to reflash stock firmware and do from there"

Cannot post the link since I am using Tapatalk, but just Google "P970 firmwares flashing xda" go to it, and read post with calm. Meanwhile, plug in the phone so you don't run out of battery when booting or whatever.

Thank you all for the help
I already have the Nova rom, but I only can unbrick? the phone by the method 2 of the referencied thread.
Ups, I didn't know relax was using ext4 on /cache.
This will cause some problems since the recovery isn't ready for it.
I'll later upload a new version.
Thanks!!! Maybe you can find some time to fix the progress bar, too

If this is only partially functional too, whats the benefit of installing this?
Noejn it's impossible rewrite the bootloader for hardware combination key for enter to recovery for use with all rom?
It's very dangerous for bricking the phone?
Enter recovery by press vol-up when led is purple and support init.d script.
V5：
Update T kernel to 7.0.A.3.223 base and TX kernel to 7.0.A.3.212 base.
Update CWM-recovery to 6.0.1.9.
Set short press camera button as back button.
V4：
Update T kernel to 7.0.A.3.195 base and TX kernel to 7.0.A.3.197 base.
V3：

don't know, haven't tried, but fastboot is really simple and fast, and you'll have to set it up to unlock bootloader anyway.
-fastboot devices
your phone is there
-fastboot flash boot .. or what you need
-fastboot reboot
and you'll have to use it only few times, after you install cm10 first time, back to normal routine

Whats some rom? Be more precise please. You ll always be able to unbrick it using smartflash. But maybe you should simply use an unrooted rom... just use b2c tool and the option emergency recovery. And then first read, what you have to do, what it does and which kind of results you will be confronted with, then try again.
Dont mean to flame, but it seems you already did it wrong twice...

have you already tried using G-recovery?
I think you can do it in Marvel ROM, you just have to start pressing for a few times the G button while booting

Hello everyone,
I had to format /system to install a custom rom. The installation aborted so I don't have any os on the phone now.
I can still acess to cwm recovery but not to the download mod (so forget about flashing .kdz). I tried flashing other roms without sucess.
Could someone send me his cwm backup so I could restore to it ? Or just a link for the stock european rom in the format .zip (so I can flash it by cwm ?)
Thanks

was it GB or ICS when you bought the phone for the first time ? if it was GB , thats mean your bootlader is old and maybe you tried to flash newbootlader supported rom cm10.2
try option 4 in AIO (repartition layout and bootlader) then you should select new bootlader. after that you can flash any newbl custom rom like cm10.2, cm11 ect.
