flashing only custom recovery possible ????

guyz previously i was using lg p500 and i found a method to flash only custom recovery on it.
link : ( forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318750 )
Now i am using lg p970 n i m away from home so no computer with me. I just want to know is it possible to flash only custom recovery on lg p970.
If any one can test ,it would be of great help to all lg p970 users.
As i did for lg p500.
we need original partition file and recovery file.
using original partition file and renaming the custom recovery file to name as original recovery file. Flashing them both from flash tool used for lg p970 should install custom recovery without any changes to other memory area.
Is this possible ?
I think "lg extract" gives us partition n other files of system. is it ??
i havent used it. but hope some one of u try if its possible.

There is a cwm inject method on noob guide in general sections stickys i think.

Yes u can flash cwm only. Look for cwm touch somewhere here. Redy made a flash script and the corresponding package with cwm touch in it. But you definitly need root, to flash it i think.

Does this method requires a rooted device ? Will it work on unrooted devices also ?

[ROM] Stock HTC Rom Perfect for restoring

Hey guys, i know it is nothing special, but i thought I would post this to provide ease for users to restore.
Below you will find a download link for the stock rom, and just below here the instruction in order to restore, so here we go...
To restore follow these following commands:
First download and install the zip from this thread, this will bring you back to stock, however, if you want to flash over your recovery and kernel follow the two steps below.
Do this AFTER you have flashed to zip, if you do it before you cannot flash any zips at all! Follow these command carefully to flash back to stock recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once you have completed, the above step follow this following command to finish going back to stock:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now your phone should be completely stock.
Download link: HERE
Please Note: This is the Stock Rom which Einstein.frat removed, my friend mblex provided me with the file, so credits to him for that.

Very useful! This would make me fearless in trying out other kernels! Har har har! :victory:

You can't really brick your phone flashing kernels, you always have fastboot to fall back on.
To hard brick your phone, you would mess up the hboot, which is bad news because think of that as your phones BIOS, without that function you are basically screwed.
But your safe flashing kernels, the worst what can happen is that it won't boot lol.

Do you want a deodexed version too? If this is so I will post one up.

V30F = Fast sdcard reading

Hi guys,
I was testing V30F today and I noticed that media scanner (sdcard read) is faster than any V30b/c or d.
I tested an absolutely stock ROM with stock kernel (from D and F).
It means that sdcard read problem on ICS ROMs is related to some file on /system.
It is not necessary to tweak init.d to get it working faster... (which for me doesn't make any difference)
But I really don't know what is the file that improves this in V30F...
Does anyone notice that?

From ver did u dwnld v30F???

yes v30x have bootloader locked, you can't inject CWM with LG Rom Converter, you can try U-boot => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160394 but carefull with CWM 6.0.1.4 .

Custom transition animations!

You guys will be well known of the app called "ZipThemer". Its available in the playstore for free. We can actually change the transition animations in our mini with a few simple steps using ZipThemer.!! ( Its a year old technique i just found it a day before.. )
Here we go !!!
What we need..
1. ZipThemer( download the app from playstore)
2.Ani_xx.zips ( download from the attachments,try the flyflip,the transition looks cool on our mini!!:highfive
How to use zipthemer..
1. Move the Ani_xx.zip to the /sdcard/zipthemer folder.
2.Open ZipThemer, Click on the menu button, then click on Update Edify.
3.Click Browse and find a zip on your sd card (theme, rom, etc) that you have used before and click on Configure. If it fails just try another zip till you get a popup that says "success".
4.After you get "success",press the back button and select +Theme button, then choose the Ani_xx.zip from /sdcard/zipthemer folder.
5.Press the Build it! button,it will then ask whether to create an undo file, select yes and wait.
6.When it completes go to cwm and flash the Ani_xx-update.zip and reboot.
7.Now you can enjoy your new transitions !!!:good:
Note: Incase something went wrong or you want to go back to your default transition,go to cwm and flash the Ani_xx-undo.zip.
(Tested on my mini running gb rom,and it looks good ,but it should work on every rom. Last but not the least, do it at your own risk)

Thanks for the reply, yes i have correct files, still will try yours, (once it will boot then further i will deal easily) currently have given the phone to a local repair person, he said something is wonky with IC chip so ROM is not flashing properly.
Would try your thing soon, thanks!
