[Q] can't mod P990

Hi,
I rooted my LG P990 and installed Rom Manager premium. Since I didn't find any released cyanogenmod in the download section of Rom Manager, I selected JMCyanbreadMod ROM's (1.9) and in later attempts the latest Nightly.
I only selected Wipe Dalvik cache.
The phone reboots and goes into the recovery screen. After only a few seconds a warning appears and the phone reboots, showing my old LG screen .
I don't know how to consult a log file regarding the install, so I can't tell you more.
Oh yea: both rom manager v4.3.2.3 and the flash clockworkmod recovery v3.0.2.8 are up to date.
Anybody got an idea how I can make the flash work?
Many thanks!

Google is your friend. Go and download cyanogen on the web, put it on your sd-card and flash it from cwm. Have you flashed cwm? When you have done that, hold in volume down and press down powerbutton. Hold them in to cwm appears. Then choose the zip-file with cyanogen.

No problem. Its the same thing with market. Download gapps and flash away ;-) I dont have the gapps here but I think you can find gapps if you google a little.

Re install Google account ?
I managed to install JMcyanbreadmod 2.0
However, does anybody know how can I re-enter my google account ? It disappeared after I did a factory reset, but I can't find a way to reinsert it...

[Q] can't find a good enough guide - CM7

hello all,
relatively new to the forum.
last couple of days i've been looking for a guide to installing CM7 on my O2X.
I failed! I can't find even one guide with a-z instructions.
please, can anyone point me to a guide?
I did read quite a lot and got 2 conclusions:
1. It scares the **** out of me
2. It needs rooting which i've already done day-1 using SuperOneClick 1.8
plz help me,
Eitan

1. Download ROM manager from market
2. Open ROM manager, install ClockworkMod Recovery
3. In ROM manager, Download ROM -> CyanogenMod -> pick your ROM
4. When your download are finished, choose "Backup" and "Wipe Dalvik-cache", press install
5. Thats it

Thank you, a thousand times. I had no idea it could be this simple.

Be sure to be rooted first

Don't forget in this method
1. You will loose EVERYTHING on the phone including the internal partition where mediabis located...
2. You cannot download Tom using the above meantioned way unless you've have premium rom manager
If you don't have premium version just download the update.zip and do install from SD
Hope I helped I am also playing around with this latelly I got the phone 2 weeks ago

Wow i didn't realise it was this easy either!
Couple of qs
If i do a backup before doing this through cwm can i just restore to that at any point?
Also if i download and place on my sd can i use this method for the modaco vanilla rom?
Will this also update the bb as well?
Have to say love having an android phone because of you guys here!

No, your bb will not be updated

Warranty question
I'm aware that rooting voids your warranty. However, does anyone know if unrooting will make your phone look normal, and thus, applicable for the warranty?

can always install original rom at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035041 using smartflash.
Note: all data in internal SD will be erased. Hence unroot phone.

Backup and wipe in Rom manager after you picked your downloaded rom.
So open rom manager, select "install ROM from sd card", find your downloaded zip file (on external sd), select backup and wipe from the popup menu, install.
Your phone are going to reboot into recovery and install your zip automaticly. When its finished, it going to reboot again but this time you should see Cm7 bootscreen
DONE!

Can I ask two (potentially) stupid questions?
Say I want to use vorkkernel with the ext4 option:
1. Is ext4 considered stable enough for every day use?
2. How would I go about this? Format my internal storage to ext4, flash CM7 on, and then flash vorkkernel on with the appropriate flags?
Thanks.

Just flash the kernel, it will convert /system & /data to EXT4.
There is no going back to EXT3 afterwards though, you have to wipe everything to do that.

~HELP~ i followed the steps in beginning of post. CWM did its stuff ending with a CM7 installation. First boot of CM7 started and repeats endlessly.
How can I proceed?

[FIXED] ok, if this happens to any of you what I did to fix is:
1. shut the phone off by removing battery.
2. boot into recovery by pressing volume down and then while holding pressing power up.
3. in recovery: wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache & wipe data
4. in recovery: install from zip on sd card i chose the cm7 installation again.
(it can be found in clockworkrecovery foleder and inside in cyanogenmod folder
hope this helps.

Just one more thing... if, say, you install CM7 do I understand correctly that all apps bought before wiping everything will be lost and would have to buy tumor again??
Thanks for the help

I downloaded rom manager, I did everything, wiped all the data but when it rebboted to install the latest cm7 nighlties it booted all right, and it supposedly installed the rom ok but when it starts it uses the LG rom on 2.2 froyo... and no signs of the cm7... plus it erased everything from my apps to my contacts but it didnt erase the images of the gallery in the internal memory and internal sd...
Weird, but I an having problems installing any cm7 rom... besides, I still have everything from the stock rom, all stock apps and all junk apps from vodafone still... and I want it all cleaned out...

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?

Hey guy, there are different launchers to personalize your apps. I prefer the Apex launcher which offers a lots of customizations.
Themes and gadgets are available in the playstore just look for them some gadgets from cm9 running in cm10 as well.
But you have to try the different cm10 Roms by yourself, because every Rom have other nice features. I tried the most of them and Helly Bean from der Teufel should be the best Rom for customization in my opinion.
Task manager only available in a few beta Roms because touch wize from Samsung isn't fully ported (stable).
You need to install a search app like OI file (its free) which is similar to my files on old Roms.

Can you give me a tutorial for "THe best ROM" "Helly Bean from der Teufel" ,for my SGS?

Okay:
1) your phone should be rooted. If not, follow this step
Search for darky's Resurrection package and follow the instructions from there.
2) search and download the latest cm9 nightly (just use xda search) and put it on your internal sd card (via usb)
3) grab the latest release from Helly Bean Rom from the xda thread (development thread) and put it next to the cm9 nightly on your internal sd card.
4) reboot into recovery (voll up + main button + power button or choose recovery via in the powemenu if the phone is running)
BEFORE FOLLOW THE NEXT STEP BE SURE TO HAVE A NANDROID BACKUP OR TITANIUM APP BACKUP!
Do all wipes:
Factory reset
Wipe caxhe
Go advanced and wipe dalvik cache
flash the downloaded cm9 nightly
After install and reboot, go back to recovery and do all 3 wipes again. Now flash the latest Helly Bean Rom. Wait for reboot, maybe pull out the battery if the first flash let your phone go into a boot loop. Try to enter the recovery menu via 3 button combo and flash the Helly Bean Rom again. After reboot all should be working fine.
Hope you'll get all of the steps right in your mind. But be carefully. Flashing on your own risk and be sure to have backups of all your data and especially from the efs folder (without that folder your not able to get access in mobile networks anymore!)
Good luck and best regards

[Q] Mackay 4.4

Hey there, I registered because i recently bought a used galaxy i9000.
It came with the 2.3.6, so I wanted to upgraded it, so I had to use this custom rom's, which I've never heard about before.
After some research i decided to use the Mackay_ROM_4.1.7 to upgrade my phone, but after i did it, some problems appeared:
-The Play Store disapeared; (Meanwhile I was able to fix this error)
-It's always appearing this message on the screen "Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped."
Is there a way to change to another ROM?
If yes, is there any way to fix these problems without need to change the ROM?
I would appreciate your help and opinion.
Thanks!
And sorry for my bad english and all my questions, I am kind of a noob in these things
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile I was able to fix both errors.
1- I fixed the google play store problem by trying with another "gapps" file, the first one maybe was corrupt.
2- The other error I fixed it by doing a factory reset

Hey
If u are new to things then i would recommend using cyanogen mod..
get.cm
Download from that link and also install gapps from goo.im/gapps
Steps:
1. TAKE EFS FOLDER BACKUP
2. Boot recovery
3. Wipe data/factory reset
4. Wipe cache & dalvik cache (under advance)
5. Install zip from sdcard
6. Choose zip
7. Install gapps
8. Reboot, first boot will b about 5-10 mins..
Done..

Clear data of Camera and Gallery (they're seperate on Kitkat), or push another apk from another rom to see kf there is any difference. Also try apps from the market like Focal
