[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!

Yes, the whole ide of cvm are just that
Yep, works with almost all .zip roms and patches (if you store them on extrenal SD, there is an other cvm for internal sd)
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

Ok.. Thanks...

I have a problem... 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...

I had that issue when i was still learning. You accidentally deleted something within the phones framework.
Wipe your phone and reflash a 3 part file ROM. If i were you go get the JVS or the JVT one. Also, delete the dalvik from CWM.

try to format cache and dalvic cache

my rom is jvr.
how to format dalvik cache?

actually even before i deleted dalvik cache, im having problems already with my fone

go to cwm recovery by holding vol up+home+power button.
goto advanced->wipe dalvik cache.

nothing will happen on my other apps if i do that?

try the answer on this.
this will be the best solution on your problem by flashing the a stock GB.

I agree with hackfinn, however softpinkishlips you need to be more detailed in your posts, is that a stock rom or custom rom, did you update via kies?

Best is to reflash since I don't have much information to salvage from your configuration.
If you're using Supersonic or a ROM that disables journaling, you'll get FCs if you encounter a power loss. That's normal. The solution is to reflash anyways.

There is nothing wrong with your phone. there is something wrong with your searching skills.
ALL rom's JVR, JVS have FC on the Phone.apk.
IF you'd be able to change your pampers by yourself, you'd use SEARCH feature to find it:
Simple, isn;t it? and flash

Someone has to teach me. I'm not technical when it comes to roms and flashing. I just do what I am told to do

1. Download correct version from above link.
2. Put it on your SD card
3. Reboot your phone to recovery mode
4. Install via option: install update from zip, navigating to the downloaded zip file.
5. Reboot
6. Check if helped and give feedback.

Nope.
This is Phone App only, so you can make a backup of your messages and contacts, everything else should remain untouched.

Cyanogenmod 10 isn't stable yet and has many bug. I don't want to use it until it's stable release. Try new experience v3. It's something like cm10 too

Hey, this probably isn't bug, im using cm10 10/09/12 too and wifi is working fine for me. In fact, I'm using wifi to post this now... Try rebooting your phone, or re flashing the rom. If it really doesn't work, then reflash to an older release, most preferably 02/09/12 becuz 07/09/12 has some bugs.

To reflash, go to this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1793511) and download the newest release 10/09/12 from the second post by TheWhisp. Then, boot into CWM (home+power buttons when you boot). Clear Data and Cache from the main menu. (OPTIONAL: Clear Dalvik Cache and Battery STATS from Advanced menu.) then select install zip from sd card>choose zip from sd card>(choose the zip). Following that, wait for the update to finish installing, then install GAPPS if you want to. If you don't want to, just reboot from the main menu by choosing the first option. Wait for the boot to finish and that's all.

I have wipe cache/dalvik and still can't dowload, can you help me with other method (ex fix permission) ?

What is the error code displayed in the brackets? Try installing an updated or different version of gapps, this doesn't seem to be a ROM problem.

in recovery navigate to advanced and select fix permissions option. Confirm and reboot.
Also if on custom rom redownload gapps and reflash that. That may also do the trick.
at own risk.
