Install CWM5 as most ROMs which are being developed nowadays do not work properly when flashed via CWM4. Here is a thread, you can get the download link for CWM5 here

yaa, you can use CMW5. no worries at all.

-try to reinstall
-or redownload the files

How to upgrade to ICS from Zeus 6.39 ROM

Presently, i am using Zeus 6.39 ROM...
I have some doubts..
As in a month or two, ICS is going to be released, so I wanted to know best suggestions and procedure to upgrade to ICS.
I think it's not possible to upgrade to ICS from Zeus 6.39 ROM, phone may get bricked.
My plan is to Flash the Official ROM that is country related and is official release. Then upgrade to ICS with LG update tool. Other than this if there is any best procedure to upgrade without bricking or difficulties, please suggest me & it will also be helpful for so many people.
Don't comment on this post or create flame for time-pass.

Why are you giving by fact that LG will upgrade the international OB?

Maybe because LG international hasn't pronounced anything about upgrade

Too optimistic post . BTW just to inform you, if and if your country got the ICS update over OTA then check xda back if your country version (or similar) has been posted here as backup or flashable zip. Download it and flash or restore by CWM. Dont not install superuser as it will be going after update anyway Now you can check LG update tool or OTA, menu in mobile->about option. Thats nnot much tough. Is it?

I think no need of new trick for rooting ICS
Bcoz....as we have ROM Converter & CWM injector....we can download the ROM and inject CWM...
so, we can have rooted ICS...
Let us have a try when it releases..

Wot did you mean? ROM convertor or injector is not new thing (may be for OB) if it was like this then all mobiles (android based) will need just a converter to do it for any version rooting. Have you listen about "bootlocker"? And if wot you say will happen then only thing will be left to port ROM convertor to any models and dats all.

I didn't know about bootlocker
so it mean ROM converter is only for OB for only Gingerbread ? not for ICS ?

feherneoh
Like u say i can access to CWM menu (no prob with any kernel), but then i cant install any rom, i try with other sd card maybe its rrly half-dead.
At all i can retrive phone to stock kernel and stock rom.

What's your baseband number?is it xxx015?
Also,you have to full wipe/factory reset at cwm before installing the rom(sometimes after,you can see this at the rom thread)

this aint sd problem i think... repair with SEMC.. and try re rooting the phone and then carry on the install.. if it still gives problem that zip is to blame:good:

@CnC-ROCK the thanks was just to show that what you are doing is right. continue to do this and you'll earn yourself a million thanks, one day.
@OP do you get any status 7 or similar errors? what ROM exactly are you trying to install?

I dot get any errors.
I tried with Blur v5 (based on cm7) and CyanogenMod 7 RC4 V7

it should install even if not supported for a kernel.. it will not boot or give problems after it.. but it wont stop installation of rc4
anyway.. rc4 supports alfs v9

Flash a patched v20 with cwm, then from recovery flash my repack, or marvel, or izs, ... this is the way you have to go or use an experimental process, which might hardbrick your phone. I wont point you to it, since it seems your not advanced enough.

Afaik, carbon rom should be ok with op 2.7 cm 10.2? Not from any kernel thread but from op thread. Try flashing carbon + op 10.2 again.

Dirty flash worked..
But here is the thing.. I downloaded OP 2.7 from Anykernel and put it in SDcard. When i open airdroid in SDcard it clearly says OP 2.7. But, when I go into recovery it says OP 2.7 Stock! There is no OP 2.7. So i actually installed the kernel from original thread..(because I flashed that kernel when I was on stock) But how come there is no Anykernel version in recovery to flash? In airdroid, Root explorer and when I connect my phone via cable, there is no OP stock..

I dont think so.. But how come in Recovery I can see: Carbon.zip,gapps.zip,OP 2.7 stock.zip and update.zip(thats the zip from TB) and in Root explorer and on PC via cable I cant see that? I would like to delete update.zip and Op Stock.zip.. I will give it another go and put Op 2.7. from any kernel in sdcard but this confuses me a lot..

anyway. what he says its that carbon isnt 4.3.1 , its 4.3 right ? any kernel is for the new 4.3.1 . use the kernel from its thread.
