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 but if im not wrong using that method whole memory gets flashed. I mean flash only cwm recovery.

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 ?

[S5830] How to flash the Stock ROM

Hello,
first of all, I am a total xda-noob (as told by the video) and my deeper Android knowledge is quite small.
Well, I'm seriouly considering to put the Cyanogen mod on my phone and now I have a question about going back to the stock ROM. I've made a backup of the stock ROM using Clockworkmod Recovery and this made seven files which can be seen in the added image. Now I'm wondering how I can go back to the stock ROM if CM doesn't fit me. I know I have to restore the backup in recovery mode but I think I'm right if I say this isn't enough. Can someone tell what to do exactly, as I am very cautionous. Or are there other ways to flash my stock ROM? Thanks in advance! MY CURRENT ANDROID VERSION IS GINGERBREAD 2.3.5
P.S. If this is already answered in another thread or if this placed wrongly, please tell me and I apologize for that.
UPDATE
After some searching I found this small tutorial which fitted my expectations. It said that it can indeed simply be done by restoring it in recovery mode by simply selecting the backup folder. Can someone comfirm this?

Almost right.
Cyanogenmod roms use a different format for the system, called 'ext4'. Stock roms use 'rfs' format.
Before restoring you have to convert to rfs. The easy way to do this is flashing a stock firmware with odin and your phone connected to the pc.
Quick guidelines to restore stock backup:
-flash a stock firmware through odin
-root
-flash cwm through recovery
-restore your backup
-you'll have everything exactly the same way you had it when creating the backup.
If you don't get any of the steps, read through the forum, specially the stickies (you wouldn't have opened this thread if you did so in the first place).

Thank you for answering. About everything is clear now and I understand what I'll have to do. I now understand there is indeed a difference between restoring and flashing a ROM. I've found an online guide which tells me how to use Odin. Only one more question: before using Odin, do I have to factory reset and clear cache partion? I think I do but I'm not quite sure. And if I do this before using Odin, will my phone even be able to boot in recovery mode/download mode? Thanks in advance!

Are you mental or just plain sadistic? Telling new ace users to try Rom Manager?
ROM MANAGER WILL BRICK YOUR ACE.
Only under some very specific conditions rom manager works in the ace, if you don't know them, stay away from this app.

You want to help people or make them brick their phones? It is common knowledge that ROM Manager doesn't work properly on Ace.....

Maybe he can use stock lite rom?

Use Odin, I always use to use it when I accidentally bricked my phone

Root v20q

Hello,
first of all I used the search and read many different threads! Anyway I couldn't find the answer to my questions. I only got more confused as I already am
I want to use the Zeus rom v6.39! I don't have root or anything. Now my question: I have v20q and want to know if I can do it as described with v20o or v20n and also use the rom?
If possible you could post the links to detailed how tos because I'm new to all that root and rom stuff:angel:

Hy luke. I have the same question and intrests about roms and root for the lgob.
I think that we could make a downgrade with smartflash to the v10a version, root it with gingerbreak and than we can install every rom that we want.
One problem: i don't know if a downgrade works with the smartflash tool and v20q. I recently asked the dev and post a question in the right thread.
Hope that we success together

1: Flash back to v10A v.i.a Smartflash tool
2: Root with gingerbreak
3. Download ROM Manager
4. Flash CWM
5. Reboot into recovery
6. Install ROM
Before Installing, Wipe data/Factory reset, Wipe cache & wipe dalvik cache --> Advanced-->Wipe Dalvik Cache

Hey guys,
follow this advice to install a rooted GB on the OB. This works 100%, I have done this quite a lot of times on different OB versions (also coming from a newer base, e.g. V20n).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23833005
After this, you are rooted V20o and have CWM. If you want to install a custom rom afterwards, think about putting the rom on your SD card before doing the procedure above. With this way you will save some time...

Thanks
Hi, thanks. I'll try your soultions.
Hope that erverything works fine.
greetings

Ok thx guys! If you tell me where I can hit the thx button I will do so...
Is there any method to save my data and apps effectively? And how exactly do I put on the rom after I gained root?
"3. Download Superuser.zip and copy it in root of your SD-cart!! DO NOT EXTRACT!!" does that mean I need to have root already when I copy it on my SD cart?

The app appadmin (don't know if it is still available in the store) help you to backup all your apps.
Your contacts and phonebook can be easily synct with your google account. (Phonebook_settings_export contacts)
You can backup your sms with 'backup&restore' from the market.
No, you don't need root to put the superuser apk to your sd card. That means maybe you can creat a folder called "root" with the superuser apk in there.
Can you please tell us if you managed it to get root?

I still have a question
I do have zeus v6.39 now! but it doesn't look exactly like the pictures. e.g. the status bar looks like the same old android bar and not like its supposed to with zeus...
any suggestions?

Sure that you installed zeus rom? Pls look at phone settings_phoneinformations_last entries(here should you read zeus kernel or version number.
Are you on the zeus rom?

yes it says zeus 6.39 I also don't have a bar to slide down... phone app looks the same as well.

Hm maybe you sould reflash the rom. Don't forget to make a data/factory reset in the cwm recovery. You also sould before installing the rom clear devlik and cache. Hope it works

It worked. My problem was that I only installed the update and not the v6.3 rom
But now I do have a last problem:angel: My GPS is not working at all.

Help ! System apps deleted

So my ohone is rooted and I deleted some system apps and i dont even remember which ones so now i want to update and my phone wont do with ota so need a solution to this. Will downgrading to GB solve the prob...???

You can install the same rom again using pc odin.

I did that but didn't seem to workout

Got cwm recovery?
Didnt make a backup?
If you havent got cwm, flash a cwm recovery image (with a new kernel... Dunno what system files u removed so...) using odin or heimdall.
Next: flash the rom of your likings after a full wipe.
After all that: BACKUP (using cwm).
Goodluck.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

You dont need odin.find a safe kernel like philz or abyss then download the stock rom and follow the steps for flashing it(i dont know whether requires wipe or not!)
