Help me please...
I think I bricked my phone..
I have successfully flashed "AOKP 4.1 Build 3" Jelly Bean Rom by 'Chenleicpp' this morning. After some time I read about Rosemary font and I have flashed it using Recovery. And when I reboot my device, It stucks on boot logo ( Swagger, Horse and those wheels rounding and rounding ) I tried to enter into the Recovery by pressing G-button but cant succeed.
Please tell me what to do?

Can I use Smart Flash Tool?
use the thanks button instead
no don't use smart flash tool, you will have to go through many useless processes such as re-rooting, re-installing recovery etc
just use adb, everything is there you just can't access it
Use adb is the better thing to do. You can use smart flash tool but with rooted files which will reinstall CWM and ROM.
And as soon as you are in recovery, wipe cache, dalwik and reinstall your ROM.
You can grab a package with adb here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1189250&d=1341930218
U gave download link, but where are instructions on how to use ADB ?
I read about adb but cant understood fully, so I decided to use SFT. I flashed original v20b firmware successfully using SFT. After it I again flashed v20b Patched files by Snegovik to root and Recovery. and finally now Iam on AOKP. Thanks guys for your kind support.

still boot loop.
Hey buddy! I have same problem with you! I noticed that when i'm on stock rooted rom i always ended into bootloop going into recovery using either rom manager or quickboot. When i'm on custom rom like marvel, zeus etc. i also ended into bootloop going into recovery but after 1 hr or more, i will turn on the phone and then it will boot into recovery. I have a hard time flashing different custom rom because of this. Its like there is a time out before entering cwm recovery. It also happened to me everytime i used smartflash tool. It takes an hour before my phone got boot. 2 weeks ago someone upload a flashable V20s spain stock rom that has capable of entering cwm recovery after flashing the stock rom and luckily i manage to save it to my computer. I flash it using smartflash tool, after flashing it will reboot and then it will stock into bootloop. I will remove the battery and wait for atleast 1 hr and then i will turn on my phone and it will automatically boot into recovery. I do data factory reset, clear cache 1st then install superuser zip and then after that i flash the custom rom. I suggest that look for a flashable stock rom that has capable of entering cwm automatically after flashing and once you got the cwm do all you want but install first the superuser zip before flashing custom rom.
EDIT:
Here's the link buddy but i don't know if its available to download.

Hey,
I am trying to fix a friends optimus black. He has CWM recovery installed but when I flash ROMs then reboot system, it just boots straight back to the recovery. Is there anything I am doing wrong? I have tried 3 different ROMs from the dev section, ICS, GB and JB. I make sure to do a full wipe between flashing.
Many thanks, as I don't have much experience with this phone. (Although I have many years experience with flashing android roms)

Reflash with Smart Flash Tool. A few kernels automatically go to recovery if they fail to load. I can't think of anything else.
Try changing your CWM Recovery by flashing another version. Use my CWM Recovery flasher (in my signature).
thanks, i tried changing CWM using your flasher, but it still didnt work.
I cant use the smartflasher as all the links are broken...

What do you need? Some ROMs to flash? Find links to kdz files in post 3. Extract and root it yourself (also see post 3 on my how to).
might be redundant saying this but in cwm itself have you flashed the 6.0.1.4 update within itself ald?

Wipe data, cache, then go to advanced, wipe dalwik, go back, go to mounts&Storage, mount as mass storage device, put any ROM you want on your sd card, go back, install zip from sd card, choose zip and install the ROM you downloaded

I have just done exactly these steps. I have tried flashing both the zeus rom and AOKP jelly bean build 4. Each time the ROM flashes successfully, however when I select "reboot system now," it just boots straight back to recovery again...
The only thing I could think of trying would be to restore a nandroid with cwm. I dont have one though, can anyone link me to a working nandroid, or upload one?
thanks
A crazy idea......

could be... I havent got the phone at the moment but ill check next week. Not sure how i'd fix it though
got the phone back again... when i go into CWM "Key Test" option, it implies "button 0" is being pressed repetitively. Anyone know which button this is?
I'am on MIUI v2.1a , this rom have not correct build.prop phone identify ( Phone model was P-970 not LG P-970 )
i want correct it , i edit via rootexplorer and i reboot and i got bootloop. its okay i think i can solve this.
1. I flashed back into v20g recovery patched to unbrick
2. When Download complete on Smartflasher my opblack reboot into recovery .
3. when i want touch navigation key ( Vol up/down ) my opblack restart
How i get reboot to recovery without root and usb debug ? i try flash it for 5 times always reboot when i want to press vol button
[ SOLVED ]
I flash the ICS Stock Rom
how if you use menu/home softkey to navigate up/down in recovery, does it still reboot?
I believe that after flashing official stock v20g, you no longer have custom recovery. You will need to root phone. Super one click on computer will do this. Then DL rom manager from market and flash custom recovery. DANGER : Make sure you have GOOD internet connection when flashing recovery. If not, you will brick phone.

no offence, but I believe you dont have or never root/use Optimus Black, right?
indeed in many device and ROMs the step regarding root and custom recovery is root first then flash custom recovery (we also use this step in froyo P970 v10* ROM).
But in P970 GB ROM, the step is opposite, custom recovery first then root (cwm injected to ROM file before flash it, flash the patched ROM, then root it by flashing superuser from cwm)

Try repatching the bin files (Make sure the md5 checksum of the recovery image you are trying to patch matches) or use another one. SFT overwrites most of the phone and the build.prop changes you made previously doesn't affect the system as it is (since it overwritten with v20g) and definately not the recovery (totally separate from system).
If you already have nandroid backup any, try to restore that.
As you said, you are unable to use buttons on CWM.
The best thing for you now is download the (Gingerbread) PATCHED V20S .bin files, just search in XDA or Google and download it and follow the instructions.
I have the same problem in the past, luckily nandroid backup saved me.
I tried to flash the new Kitkat ROM on my stock-rooted ROM but flashed it wrong (as my bootload is not unlocked as needed).
Now I'm stuck on bootloop when I see the new ROM's logo showing up for few seconds but reboot imediately..
My recovery is also gone.. I can't access it.. (I have my backup there, I only need to reach it)
I tried to use flashtool and adb but I can't control them..
How can I flash CWM recovery through any of them?
Please provide link and explain I'm freaking out here..
Thanks!

Use fastboot to flash... Just make sure your phone is in fastboot/flash mode first
If your on locked boot loader then you have to do a ftf/flash tool restore

I was hoping you fixed the issue. I don't know what to do.
It's a matter of unlocking the boot loader. Once you do that, you can jump back and forth between ICS-based ROMs and everything else.
Gingerbread ROMs include the boot loader (marvel and Huexxx).

Man I can flash ICS-based ROMs .JB and KK, I can't flash GB stock or GB-based ROMs, not even with SFT.
I think the bootloader it's unlocked because I can acces CWM from switch off phone(key combo)....I am confused because i read many tutorials but they are contradictory
That happends also with me 2 times.
Just flash CWM recovery again.

Try toii install a ROM right after rebooting from flash.
What I did is: Install a JB ROM, After, I reinstall CWM with ADB, reboot and then I could install any rom.

Did you unlocked the bootloader first? can you put a link with your froyo and SFT?
I am from Romania so I need an Europe Open
No, I don't tried to unlock bootloader, but like you , I got the bootloops every time I downgrade from ICS, Nameless or cyanogen roms . I use original Froyo - flashed with SFT , then upgrade to GB with Cwm recovery patch- flashed with SFT, then boot to recovery and install Nameless. I will give you the links, once I uploaded to my dropbox.

Did you already try the alternative way without the app? Which means load the files to your sdcard and afterwards type the dd if=xxxx of=xxxx? This could show if it works or fails. And did you ever flash the LU5900 port? So the early ICS ROM released by Redy, Gabwerkz and me. Try the manual unlock first.

OK I have the terminal emulator on my phone.
I've read the thread and it says "Move this two files, bootloader and recovery to the root of memory sdcard;
Enter in the command line
su
dd if=/sdcard/u-boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
And reboot or reboot recovery."
I have downloaded all on my laptop(bootloader recovery and su) but I am confuse....what's with that "su"?
Do I have to put it on the root of the sdcard too?
Sorry for my noob question
