I used the option tab in the LG Mobile support tool to download the "upgrade recovery" it indicated was available. Said it downloaded a 1686.39 mb file. When it started to install it failed. Winblows closed the LG app. I found the downloaded files, and they were the KDZ and DLL files. I am at D95910c and the file was D95910c_00.kdz. I figure that is why it failed?? when I restart the LG tool after it was closed, window wanted permission to access the internet because the program had changed. My phone is rooted.
So was it trying to upgrade the recovery, giving me the stock files so I could use for recovery, or is it just a crappy app that didn't know what it was to do?

I'm trying to install HC 3.2 from the stock Froyo install on a T-Mobile Streak 7.
I'm pretty sure I've followed all of the posts correctly, but I seem to get hung up and am hoping someone can point out the obvious (I hope) mistake.
First off, I'm using the flashing guide at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_7/Flashing_Guide
And the files found at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_7#Official
Specifically, I'm using these files (US 4G 514 build):
http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/Streak7/514/recovery.img
http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/Streak7/LG7_514_21700_30.pkg
I seem to have no problem installing the recovery image and installing the rom package on the SD card.
But, when I try to go into the Recovery mode and select to update via update.pkg, I get the message "Booting recovery kernel image" and then it just hangs.
I've downloaded both files twice in case there was a problem with one of the downloads and that did not fix it.
As a test, I installed the old recovery image:
http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/Streak7/336/recovery.img
And tried to update to the 514 package, and it failed (gave the FOTA error - as expected).
Any ideas on what is going wrong? Thanks.
You can try to open your .pkg simply when device is power on - from downloads or with file manager. I installed HC official update (but i have wifi version) this way, without recovery
I cannot get it from the update section because it is a T-Mobile version.
As for running it from the file manager, it is an "unknown" type. Not sure how you can install a .pkg file direct from the OS.
Download XPlore File Manager and try Open in a system in submenu on long tap
Hi guys,
I tried to update my 2x from 20e to ICS today but it was unsuccessful (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1959545). I tried to do recovery from the CMW as recommended but it fails. Error/ mounting system. When I reboot its stuck on LG logo. I have tried do recovery using NVflash but not successful either (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975274&page=5).
My previous setting: v20e. CWM 5.0.2.7.
Its been months since my last update for the 20e. I am not sure I am on the right driver. CMW version etc. and I have just use win7 from vista last two months. I am not sure if that affect too.
Any help are much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Do you click on the batch file, or on the nvflash .exe file? You should use the batch file, not the .exe. Also, open command prompt first, and run the batch file from there -- you will see all the errors and other messages. (I should probably put this in my signature, as I already mentioned it probably half a dozen times in different topics...)

It's the backup that you create in CWM.

Thanks for the feedback..how do I run batch file from command prompt?
Isit goto window-->cmd-->type: c:\nvflash\nvflash? I have created the "nvflash: folder in C.
Back to the source, I tried to follow as the instruction:
-Download the attached file and unzip it. The pack includes the APX driver (folder driver)
1.- Remove the battery to the phone.
2.- Press and hold Vol- and Vol+ and without releasing the 2 keys connect the USB cable to the PC
3.- Go to the NVFlash folder and run:
3a.- Windows should detect a new device APK, cancel the installation and install the driver which includes the ROM.
3b.- On Linux not ago missing driver.
4.- Browse to the folder where you unzipped the RAR and typing CMD in the breadcrumb bar, Linux opens the console.
- Type:
Windows
Code:
flash.bat
When I extract the file, the driver folder amd64 folder, i386 folder and nvidiausb file. I didn't see APX folder/file.
I am not clear abot step #3 open nvflash & run: (I am not sure what to run)
# How to go about in step 4? This is what I have tried. Go to the folder, type cmd, then type "flash.bat"
I see this:
c:\nvflasf>echo "flashendo lg optimus 2x" flashendo lg optimus 2x......
c:\nvflasf>nvflash.exe --bct star.bct --bct -- configfile android_fastboot_emm
c_ful.cfg - create -- bl.fastboot. bin -- go
Nvflash started
rcm version 0x20001
command send failed (usb write failed)
c:nvflash\ scho "listo!" listo!
Need help, I am sure where I do wrong.
Update: Somehow I made the recovery, same procedure as above. (Big thanks to Homero2 for the tools)
I wanna ask some question:
1-I have redo the ICS update (ICS extended by TonyP and Harsh). I encounter same problem as before (error 7). Any tips where might go wrong or what I should check before flashing.
2-Where I can flash from here (from Homero2 ROM)? GB only or I can flash to ICS or JB?
3-I try update the ROM manager via google play..but I think its only 5.2.0.7 version. Does higher version (v6) for ICS and do I need to do recovery before flashing via ROM manager?
Thanks in advance.
I've been running CM 11 for a little more than a month and have been really enjoying it. So, I have no idea why I decided to download the MythTools and revert back to stock At&t. Doing so, I messed something up on my phone.
To start, I'm using Windows 7 64bit and when selecting option 1 (install ADB-fastboot-apkTools) I get the new cmd window that states "please select install button after new window is opened press any key to continue...." when I press any key the cmd window would just close. Hoping it would help, I then chose option 6 to update my Motorola drivers. When my browser window opened I got the ADB installer window and clicked install. It seemed to have installed fine. I then updated my moto drivers. Thinking I was all set I went for option 2 to flash the stock firmware which I had put in the firmware folder. With my phone in fastboot I started the process and it failed. Reading through the cmd prompts I had noticed it said something like 'you selected 2- instal cwm.img cannot load cwm.img' . I unplugged my phone and tried to restart it and it was stuck on the bootloader screen. I then restarted into recovery and my PhilZ recovery did start up. However it displays "E: could not mount /data to setup /data/media path!" . I was still able to go through the process of a clean re-install of CM 11 but am stuck on the startup splash screen for CM.
I definitely got myself in way too deep and am clueless on how to fix this. Would someone mind instructing me on what to try next? Many thanks in advance.
I am not sure if it would make a difference in your situation but I do everything for my phone on an x86 system. I have had issues with LG and Samsung phones in the past when trying things on an x64 computer.

you said you are stuck on startup splash meaning bootloop? if it is you should try again with rsd lite.
else you may lose all your data in the memory but do a format media/data and sdcard, so that it can mount /data, it worked for me. then format system mount everyting and do a fresh install of any rom you can sideload or just have it in the sdcard.
I'm pretty sure I am doing something wrong with MythTools. When I select option 2 in the tool to install stock firmware the following happens,
- asks for fimware folder example and I select "N"
- asks if firmware files are finished copying.. I press enter and continue
-then it says "the system cannot find the path specified
the system cannot find the path specified
the system cannot find the path specified
'7z' is not recognized as an internal or external command
operable program or batch file
Are you ready to flash stock fimware...
at this point i stupidly hit enter and that was it with my phone. I'm guessing the tool could not locate the firmware .xml file for extracting and I have no idea why. The compressed folder is IN the firmware folder.
One other question with Mythtools, when installing the tools what path do you want them installed in? I did them in the same file the Myth tools are in.

Disclaimer: Even though this worked for me I am not responsible if you brick your phone, I am simply sharing my experience
Okay, this is not for the faint of heart and is going to sound a little backward but it just worked for me 5mins ago. I am running Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit, so there shouldn't be a problem with your setup. I was having the same problem until I just double clicked on flashing.bat or main.bat instead of running as admin. After all I AM the admin of my PC. Then, it worked perfect...until flashing the tz.mbn file and froze up while writing the file. I thought mmm...it shouldn't take that long to write such a small file, and writing happens on the phone side (I believe) so I hit the phone's power button while leaving the Myth Tools window open, which disconnected the phone obviously. I booted back into fastboot and it continued from where it left off. (Note: I did this a few weeks ago when I lost my radios and manually flashed the modem file, which froze, but I followed the same procedure and it successfully flashed it) Then when it got to the last system.img chunk (it writes it in small chunks of 30mb and the last one is smaller, that's how I knew it was the last one) it froze again. I let it sit for about 5mins just to make sure it was written to the phone the repeated the sequence to reboot manually into fastboot and bang, once again it continued right where it left off. one or two more freezes and voila...it rebooted right back to stock. Any questions don't hesitate to ask.

My LG Thrill was rooted I had cwm 6.0.1.5 installed , I backed up my phone with cwm to get a current copy of my data. I then tried to restore and older back up that failed.
I tied to restore my phone with lg mobile tools.
It starts but fails because my phone keep getting redetected in device manager on my windows 7 pc causing the lg tool to lose its connection around 10%.
I tried to use cwm to restore the same zipped image of my phone containing the .bin and .fls that I used for lgs mobile tools
That failed.
I requested support from app developers that bricked my phone, they said I should be able to fix my phone if i rename a file “egl.cfg.mybackup” to “egl.cfg” Contained in /system/lib/egl'
So I restored my boot looping backup, but adb could not detect the device, I edited the adb_usb.ini to contain my phones usb device id. That did not help. So now I can’t edit the file name on the device.
I tried to edit the egl.cfg file in my back up in the system.ext4.tar restore file.
But when I went to restore it I got the md5 error….
So then I cleared all data in the nandroid.md5, that got around the md5 error.
Now cwm will reset at the same system\network\ file during the backup restore.
At that point cwm starts to restart a lot during another tasks..
This is such a pain….
Does anyone have some advice or know of any tools that could help thanks.

Help me <<NEED URGENTLY>>
try to flash the rom via fastboot, using the commands on 4.2 on this thread
You need a XML zip of the rom , to have the XML zip of yours rom search in here and download the file regards yours model and OS version that you wanna...
download is very slow, download, unzip, to the some folder of mfastboot and give the commands a try, while the phone is conected via USB to the PC, you must have motorola driver update, to know if you have the drivers, just plug the phone on normal on mode, and see if you can copy and past files to the phone...
If you follow this procedure you will erase everything on the phone, so do a backup...
Or find a TWRP backup of the OS you wanna and use it.
