The last time I flashed a custom rom to my phone was CyanogenMod-7.1.0-RC1-N1.
I'd really like to get ICS on it, but the process seems just so much more confusing this time around. If anyone give me a breakdown of what I'd need to do, or even if they could just point me in the right direction, I'd be grateful.
i never messed with that as they are always a lil buggy i like sense better ^_^ try asking people in that thread im sure they be happy to help you bro
sorry i couldn't help

There are at least 3 ICS ROMs with 2 are in the working progress and the other we don't know what is the status of it. Spend some time to read first to gain some knowledge and procedures. They are in the Development section of Nexus One. And, remember, once you have Ice Cream Sandwich you don't want to have Gingerbread
u can flash this miui ics as like anyother roms before
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1479348
but for other ics roms u need to partition /system. for that first u need to know abt blackrose.

The process is actually easier than the process you went through to root your phone and install CM7.
First, download the ICS firmware zip file to your phone's sdcard.
Next, make your backup using TitaniumBackup.
For most ICS firmware, you'll need to repartition your hboot. Google for blackrose-manual_120216.zip, download to your computer, unzip and look for the hboot_brcust-220-10-206.nb0 file. This one is pre-configured with the right partition sizes. Follow the instructions in the README file, which are basically:
Update your recovery firmware, by downloading to your computer and then using fastboot from your computer. I used the Amon-RA recovery for CM and stayed with it for ICS.
On the phone, enable USB Debugging in the CM Developer settings menu.
Boot the phone into the bootloader and go to FastBoot mode. It'll tell you what HBOOT you currently have. Read the instructions in the blackrose README to see which (if any) of the goXX.lol files you need. Then, on the computer:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery goXX.lol
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img
Next, flash the new hboot:
Code:
fastboot flash hboot hboot_brcust-220-10-206.nb0
The blackrose-manual zip contains fastboot binaries for Linux, Mac and Windows. If you need a fastboot for FreeBSD, send me a PM.
Then boot into recovery, do a Nandroid backup, then a full wipe, then install the ICS firmware zip you put on the sdcard earlier.
That should be all. Once the new system is booted, you'll use Titanium again to restore your apps.
For what it's worth, the BCM firmware is based on CM with all the CM additions you're used to, so things will be pretty familiar. It's running well for me.

Restore apps from GB backup might bring FC. It is better to download them from the Google Play

While, in theory, you are correct, I restored my GB apps using TB because it is very fast to do so. In practice, they all appear to be working just fine. I believe I have run every one of them to make sure.
But I agree that a better general procedure would be to restore the apps themselves from the Play Store then restore your former app data using TB.

This is great! I found blackrose_manual_120216.zip, but the only .nb0 file in it was hboot_blackrose.nb0. Will this work, or do I need to keep looking?

The instructions are in the Blackrose thread in the Development section, you don't need to use the manual if you're using Windows.
I would read the blackrose thread so you understand what you are doing and why. Easier to get out of trouble and harder to get into it. You probably did same for CM7. The blackrose hboot is not easy to work with without knowing what you are doing. The backrose thread has pre requisites in OP, like install of drivers if you don't have them.
You guys sure the fastboot command for the exploit has the word "recovery" in it or should be:
fastboot boot go.lol
where go.lol is exact name of exploit from the actual blackrose binary folder depending what version of blackrose you are fastbooting. could be "fastboot boot go2.lol" etc
just a suggestion--
So I was able to use blackrose to repartition my system cache, but now I've got a problem. In the bootloader, when I select "Recovery" the phone hangs on the Nexus "X" logo, and I'm unable to get my phone to reboot into anything but the bootloader.
you probably lost recovery and need to re fastboot it
i once had to fastboot erase system before the recovery would flash
all these issues are in the thread
Would this be the correct thing to do? http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Nexus_One/Recovery_Images
good info but if you have sdk and know fastboot do this
Copy recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img to a location where fastboot can find it. Usually tools folder.
Boot your phone into fastboot mode (power on while holding the trackball)
Connect your phone via usb to your pc
type fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your phone)
type fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img or whatever exact name your recovery is
I was able to get into recovery, but now when I select "Flash zip from sdcard", I get an error saying that there was No Signature and that the Verification Failed.

You need to disable the signature verification in the recovery and then flash the ROM
Thanks so much for everyone's help! I've got ICS up and running now thanks to you.
Since this forum account is too new to post in the BCM thread, I guess I'll try asking a question here instead.
So far there's two problems I've encountered that would be dealbreakers for BCM. I saw on the BCM thread that voice search is currently broken, but it seems like it's kind of unexpected and will likely be fixed. The other issue I have, that I can't find anyone else complaining about, is that I don't seem to have the Car Home app anymore. Has anybody else run into this issue, or know a fix? I use my phone in my car pretty much every day in my car dock, and make extensive use of both the car home app and the voice search feature for getting navigation directions.
If there's a better place to post these questions, feel free to let me know!
Thanks
audio has been ab issue for me and others on ics and sense roms lately, don't know why. i am back on CM7 Kangs atm bc of it. hope it is found and fixed. the current remedies don't work for me
glad you are up and running, all these roms have issues of some type for a few at least. goes with the territory--
someone should be able to get you a car home apk you can install or push thru adb--i always delete mine as i don't use--sorry. might be able to find it thru search/google
posting here is perfectly fine--it a couple general threads for a "meaningful" post and you will be to ten real quick
enjoy rom

Sorry, I wasn't watching this thread over the weekend and I see you have already moved past this. But to answer the question...
I thought the pre-partitioned blackrose-220-10-206 was in that zip, but I see now that I found it on the Evervolv ROM thread in the Nexus One development forum. Sorry for not remembering to mention that.

BCM Version RC3.3Ux has very broken voice input. Many folk (including me) have commented that no VoIP apps work with it. Hopefully this will be fixed soon. BCM3.2U2 works fine, so I have reverted to that version for now.
You can install the CarHome app from the Play Store; it doesn't seem to be included in the BCM zip file.
Ok, i was looking for flashing a kernel on an Lg Optimus black (i do not own the device), but i really can't fins anything... Can someone be gentle with me and explain how to plug the device in fastboot mode and flash the kernel.... I work with the Xperia devices and there the life is easier xD. So the questions are:
1)Where can i find the drivers USB?
2)How to plug the device in fastboot mode??
3)How to unlock bootloader
and i think that when i achived those passages i know how to go on... maybe like this:
1- Enter in the folder with fastboot's files inside
2- press shift + right-click and then select open command prompt here
3- Type: fastboot flash boot boot.img
am i wrong?? Please tell all the things that can be helpfull, but only for me, maybe for others noobs like me that dosen't know anything about this device this post i think the can be very helpfull for lots of people. :laugh:

The Optimus Black doesn't use fastboot. Everything is done through recovery.
Download Clockwork Mod from the Play store, use that app to flash a custom recovery.
Enter recovery by repeatedly pressing volume down at power up or use a reboot to recovery app.
To flash roms/kernels, copy to your sd card, boot into recovery, select install zip.
The bootloader is not locked, unless you have flashed the offical LG ICS rom with the smartflash tool. If you have and want to unlock it, just flash any froyo/gingerbread offical LG rom with smartflash, that will unlock.
1. Make sure you are rooted, if not, read Nooby's how-to on how to do it. It's a sticky in LGP970 section on xda.
2. Once rooted, you can install ROM Manager and flash cwm/twrp recovery from there. Give it root permissions when asked for.
3. Boot into recovery using ROM Manager or any other third-party app. Flash the .zip for the kernel you want. Make sure it is compatible with the ROM you are using.
4. Once kernel flashed, boot into the system.
Bootloader is generally unlocked unless you are running official ICS on your OB. If that is the case, don't do any of the above mentioned steps as you will end in a boot loop.
If on official ICS, use Smart Flash Tool to flash unlocked bootloader. You can follow instructions here on jockjoint's thread
Once bootloader is unlocked and you have flashed su.zip as per instructions in the previouslsy mentioned thread, boot into recovery (it's already there in the unlocked bootloader flash).
Once in there, flash a compatible kernel and ROM as per your needs/liking.
Im not an expert but have tried almost everything i could find on the web relating to my issue.

Now when it comes to entering recovery mode through Rom Manager or GooManager i always end up with the dead android.
Even device update also failed and ends up the same way.
I have already deleted install-recovery.sh but to no avail.
I want to install SlimKat on my device, only thing in my way is a Dead Android whenever i try to enter recover mod. PLEASE HELP.

Do you have a custom recovery already installed? Which one? If you don't, remember that in order to flash a new ROM, you need to install a custom recovery.

Sure, buddy.
You need to download a custom recovery, this is the option in Android that lets you erase all content in the device and do other things. With a custom recovery you can do even more things, like install .zip archives or ROMs, erase partitions, dalvik cache, etc, etc, a lot of things.
I personally use this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2552622
Since you are already rooted, I think that you are familiar with fastboot. In order to flash a custom recovery, you need to do this:
1. Download the custom recovery
2. If it's in a .zip, extract the archive so you have one *.img archive.
3. Then, copy that file to the folder where you have the fastboot.exe archive.
4. Open Windows command console and change the directory to the one where you have the files.
5. Turn off your device, then press volume down key and power key. Hold until you see a black screen with white letters. Connect via USB to your computer.
6. Run the following command in the command console of Windows:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Where "recovery.img" is the name of your custom recovery archive, for example, "philz_touch_6.22.7.img"
7. Wait about 6 seconds and in the console you should see something like "done", I don't remember exactly what does it says.
8. You are good to go. Turn off your device. Then press the volume up key and power button. Hold until you see the custom recovery interface.
After this point, you can flash the custom ROM of your preference.
In the Philz link above, it goes to our thread that links to the main one, from there, download the unified moto-msm8960 one labeled for xt925/xt926. Last time I checked it was more up to date than the native mb886 one (not surprising since our CM repo is gone).
Hi Guys,
My Mi3 is bricked.I did a repartition some months back and I wanted to install MIUI 7.I used Miflash but it is showing size too large error while flashing.My recovery is replaced with stock recovery.I tried to use ADB to push the file,that is also not working as it is shoing device not found while I am in recovery.I installed Miphonemanager as well for that.But there is no luck.I am out of ideas.Can anyone please help me.
Can anyone let me know which driver I need to choose in driver manager for android in desktop? Currently I tried CMCC Composite ADB driver and Xiaomi Android Interface.
Flash latest TWRP first. What happened during repartition?
You can allways acces the eeprom writer through short circuiting the sim card, there are a lot of tutorials, the only way to brick this phone is breaking its hardware

Hey Knight (didn't want to call you Dork :angel: )
I have a messed up phone,
2 questions here :
1- Would repartitioning reset ALL the partitions ?
2- When installing a ROM with fastboot, will ALL the partitions be filled with the necessary data ?
(I'm in doubt because of IMEI data)
Btw, can anyone point me to a link with WORKING fastboot ROM downloads ?

Repartitioning will wipe both your system partitions [EDIT: Seems I was wrong?]. If you want to use MIUI 7, you can use either extended partition, or stock partition using the zip from my link.
For fastboot I guess you'll need stock.
No, installing a MIUI fastboot ROM shouldn't touch your IMEI. But yeah everything else can be overwritten, depending on which bat file you use when flashing.
The process I'd recommend right now is to flash TWRP IMG using fastboot(use the 15-second ADB installer and look up a tutorial on how to flash an IMG. Basically just put the IMG into the adb/fastboot installation directory and then open a terminal window and then fastboot flash)
And as for MIUI fastboot ROM, you just gotta find the thread on MIUI forums. Google can help

Well there ARE a LOT of partitions on any device, but the important ones are system, boot, data, cache, modem etc.
That guide seems to manually mess with the partition table, so it gets down and dirty.
The easiest thing would be to do what I said, flash TWRP or CWM r7 by furniel and then the proper stock partition zip. Then use MiFlash or recovery to flash any ROM.
I think I'm back online

OK,
I followed your links and flashed :
First : Repartition to Stock Layout
Then : Repartition to 1.2GB Single System
Strange, after this, I did a normal reboot, it rebooted into my old ROM.
Shouldn't that have been erased after partitioning ?
Anyway,
Then I flashed ; update-XenonHD-08-08-15-signed-.zip
WAIT WAIT .....
as I'm typing, I'm flashing update-XenonHD-09-05-15-signed-cancro.zip,
first ROM in a few weeks that seems to be installing.
Let me check is it really installed .... YEP .... progress
Flashing : pa_gapps-modular-pico-5.1-20150418-signed
Everything seems to be going smooth
OK, for the time being .... all good.
Thanks a lot :good:
If your device cannot boot, flash it thru fastboot mode. See the full detailed tutorial on en.miui.com
Well you can directly flash with miflash even with the extended partition. Just edit the fastboot script (.bat extension with windows) and search for line
fastboot flash system+system1
And then delete system1
Fastboot flash system
And use those script for flashing via miflash
This is an unofficial TWRP port for LG-H960A.
Thanks to @KAsp3rd and @GROGG88
I DON'T TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY. YOU DO EVERYTHING AT YOUR OWN RISK.
READ EVERYTHING and MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE YOU START.
Instructions:
1. You must be on newest stock Marshmallow: H960A20a_00_0316.kdz
You can use LG Bridge to install official update, or download .kdz file HERE
2. You need to have bootloader ulocked.
Official instructions are here: ( Unlocking the Bootloader @ LG Developer )
Remember that this will completely WIPE YOUR DATA, you will LOSE WARRANTY and this operation is IRREVERSIBLE.
3. Flash TWRP.
I assume you got ADB and FASTBOOT drivers working and adb is paired (it should be if you completed step 2).
Connect your phone to your pc, open command prompt and reboot to bootloader:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Your phone should reboot and you should be welcomed by Fastboot Mode screen.
Now download the recovery file (below) to your pc, unpack (to get .img) and rename it to recovery.img and put it in folder where you got command prompt open and:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4. Boot to TWRP.
As on Marshmallow some fastboot commands are not working and LG is restoring recovery on every boot (so you cant use "adb reboot recovery" right now) you need to use one trick.
DO NOT REBOOT YOUR PHONE.
When still in fastboot from step 3 you need to turn off your phone completely. You can do that by holding power button or if that is not working take the battery out.
Now (put the battery in) and press POWER + VOL DOWN buttons. When you see LG logo release the POWER button (while still holding VOL DOWN) and press POWER button again.
You should see a screen which is asking you if you want to factory reset your phone. Don't worry - if you made everything correctly it should not wipe your phone.
Use volume and power buttons to choose YES (twice) - and you should see a TWRP screen (after a while)
WARNING: IF YOU REBOOTED YOUR PHONE AFTER FLASHING RECOVERY THIS STEP WILL REALLY ERASE ALL DATA. You need to flash recovery again (step 3)
5. (optional) flash SuperSU to get root.
Get SuperSU from official thread and put it in your phone.
While in TWRP from step 4 your phone should be recognized by ADB. Use below to move file to sdcard.
Code:
adb push BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip /sdcard/supersu.zip
Now in TWRP click Install, go to /sdcard/ and chooose supersu.zip. Follow instructions. After install you should choose to wipe cache/dalvik and reboot to system.
Your phone should be rooted now.
Download:
twrp-3.0.2.0-0-h960a.img.zip
(unpack .zip to get flashable .img)
Issues:
- Layout is wrong, status bar is being drawn on second screen.
- Date/time is wrong.

OK, now if we have recovery, is it possible to dump rooted system and pack it to .tot file for people who don't want to lose warranty?

Hi,
that's just great, thanks a lot.
As root is now possible has anyone tried to install xposed on th H960A?
I'm wondering if the second screen fix for the Telekom V10 also works with the H960A.
What about Viper4Android and AdAway?

This is an unofficial TWRP port for LG-H960A.
Thanks to @KAsp3rd and @GROGG88
I DON'T TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY. YOU DO EVERYTHING AT YOUR OWN RISK.
READ EVERYTHING and MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE YOU START.
Instructions:
1. You must be on newest stock Marshmallow: H960A20a_00_0316.kdz
You can use LG Bridge to install official update, or download .kdz file HERE
2. You need to have bootloader ulocked.
Official instructions are here: ( Unlocking the Bootloader @ LG Developer )
Remember that this will completely WIPE YOUR DATA, you will LOSE WARRANTY and this operation is IRREVERSIBLE.
3. Flash TWRP.
I assume you got ADB and FASTBOOT drivers working and adb is paired (it should be if you completed step 2).
Connect your phone to your pc, open command prompt and reboot to bootloader:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Your phone should reboot and you should be welcomed by Fastboot Mode screen.
Now download the recovery file (below) to your pc, unpack (to get .img) and rename it to recovery.img and put it in folder where you got command prompt open and:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4. Boot to TWRP.
As on Marshmallow some fastboot commands are not working and LG is restoring recovery on every boot (so you cant use "adb reboot recovery" right now) you need to use one trick.
DO NOT REBOOT YOUR PHONE.
When still in fastboot from step 3 you need to turn off your phone completely. You can do that by holding power button or if that is not working take the battery out.
Now (put the battery in) and press POWER + VOL DOWN buttons. When you see LG logo release the POWER button (while still holding VOL DOWN) and press POWER button again.
You should see a screen which is asking you if you want to factory reset your phone. Don't worry - if you made everything correctly it should not wipe your phone.
Use volume and power buttons to choose YES (twice) - and you should see a TWRP screen (after a while)
WARNING: IF YOU REBOOTED YOUR PHONE AFTER FLASHING RECOVERY THIS STEP WILL REALLY ERASE ALL DATA. You need to flash recovery again (step 3)
5. (optional) flash SuperSU to get root.
Get SuperSU from official thread and put it in your phone.
While in TWRP from step 4 your phone should be recognized by ADB. Use below to move file to sdcard.
Code:
adb push BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip /sdcard/supersu.zip
Now in TWRP click Install, go to /sdcard/ and chooose supersu.zip. Follow instructions. After install you should choose to wipe cache/dalvik and reboot to system.
Your phone should be rooted now.

Are there any other known issues? I don`t need to install any custom roms. I need it only for root and xposed on Marshmallow. Is there something that can surprise me?
Hi,
"OK, now if we have recovery, is it possible to dump rooted system and pack it to .tot file for people who don't want to lose warranty? "
Ohh, thats sounds nice if this realy possible.
i love my v10.

Didn't try xposed but I think it should work (if it's working on other V10 models - they are not that different). I just recently bought V10 and was disappointed in dpi, so I needed root to patch second screen to be dpi-independent.
Also: why would you want things like Viper4Android when you got really good sounding hifi dac onboard?

For sure it's enough to flash packages and get root. Xposed is independent from recovery so I can't say anything about that.
Testing are up to you guys. Don't be afraid as this phone is not easy to brick.

Quite simple answer. The onboard Hifi DAC only works with cable headphones. Viper4Android also supports Bluetooth devices.

Could you write a small guide about the dpi change (I prefer 540-580)?
Thanks in advance.

Ah, you are right, that makes perfect sense. Sorry, I forgot about that.

There is still a long way, right now second screen FCs are fixed, but layouts are still wrong. I don't know if I can fix it to be truly dpi-independent but I think 560 is optimal value for this screen.
Is this working with
H960a
V20a-AME-xx??
1k views and only 11 "thanks"??? Really? Guys! We need support devs! Big THANK YOU for ur hard work @rudi666. I haven't try ur method yet but I am happy with the fact that something is beginning to happen with v10

I did try his method and it worked like a charm. Ok, you'll have to reflash TWRP if you want to use it but I'm sure it's just a matter of time until we have permanent TWRP like th T-Mobile V10 obviously has.
Thanks to rudi666 I have root, xposed, adaway and viper4audio up and running on my V10. And as there are no interesting custom roms to flash in my opinion it does not matter that I'd need to reflash TWRP. If you plan your flashing in advance you can flash all zip files in one go. No real need for TWRP afterwards.
Thanks guys. Unfortunately I see there is not much going on in V10 scene, and it's a shame.

Hm.. if you follow instructions you should get permanent TWRP, just try "adb reboot recovery" to test it if you don't want to risk clearing data when using button combination. There is a file called /system/boot-from-recovery.p which is 'restoring recovery' on every boot (that's why there is an info in instruction about not rebooting your phone the first time), but after all the steps this file will be patched. I don't remember if the first use of TWRP or flashing SuperSU does it, but you should get permanent recovery. If not you can always rename this file manually.

Hi,
I will try that again and see if I can get permanent TWRP. But as I said currently there is no real requirement for that. I flashed SuperSU and both files for xposed when I first booted into recovery and that is all I need at the moment.
i cant enter bootloader
h960A
after adb reboot booloader it keeb restart to soft
