[Q] easy cm upgrading? [SOLVED] - LG Optimus L90

My D-415 has CM-11-20141022-UNOFFICIAL-w7-LG-D415 up, running, and configured. What's the easiest way to upgrade to CM-11-20141202-UNOFFICIAL-w7-LG-D415 and not have to do major reconfiguring?
Thanks,
Jim

Is this the latest update by shinobi? If so, just do a dirty flash. Don't use cm updater.

Yes, that's the one. What's a dirty flash? That's a new one to me.

Copy zip to SD card, reboot recovery, flash zipp, wipe dalvik cache and restart.

This was entirely too easy! Here's the step by step for those like me that are challenged by the different and unfamiliar terminology.
1. Connect the USB cable to your D-415 and computer.
2. With 'adb' installed (duh) enter "adb push upgrade_file.zip /storage/sdcard0/"
3. Enter "adb reboot recovery"
4. Use volume keys and power key to:
locate and select 'install zipfile'
go to and select 'advanced' at main menu
go to and select 'wipe dalvik cache'
go to main menu and select 'reboot to bootloader'
Thanks for the help, bravho. With a little research, it was easier than I expected.
I think we can close this one as solved.

Just curious, why is it called "dirty flash"?
Any serious hidden problems to this?

I think it's because you don't do a full wipe.

So if we do not do a full wipe, residual files build up?
I thought flashing will auto wipe.
Quite confused dude :|

When you do an update, just flash update in recovery and after that wipe dalvik cache.

When upgrading, as in the same ROM just a newer build, wiping cache and dalvik-cache is NOT necessary. It won't hurt anything, but it isn't required.
Also, if this is solved as you stated, go to your first post. Edit the thread title and insert [ SOLVED ] at the start of your title.

[Q] Recovery disappeared

My legend is was running on Azure 1.0.1 and I was reading about a overclocked kernel. This post: Customized stock FroYo kernel 2.6.32.17-g732a780.
So i downloaded it, selected it in the clockworkmod recovery and flashed it.
When i reboot my legend now you will see the htc logo and before it can actually start the rom it reboots again.
When i try to go to the bootloader it displays a strange red "!" sign and an icon of a phone.
Does anyone know what i should do right now?
Thanks for your help.
It was answered several times by now...you could use search, right?
At the red sign, hold volume up and press power till a blue menu appears. Select "recovery" from there and you'll go to ClockworkMod recovery screen. You can restore from a backup (made one before right?) or flash another zip/rom from there if you have it on the sdcard. If not, you can push one with adb command and flash it afterwards

It says: E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
The blue screen does not have the option to go to the clockworkmod recovery.
Options are:
1. Reboot system now
2. Apply sdcard:Update.zin
3. Wipe data/factory reset
4. Wipe cache partition

You choose option nr. 2.. Apply sdcard:Update.zip..
This will load the Clockworkmod Recovery.. (from the update.zip) which is located at the root of your sd-card... If it is not.. then you are screwed..

The first four times it didn't work, now i can go into the recovery.
I did make a nandroid backup but i cant find it anymore .
Guess that i should just download a new rom?

Boot loop problem

Hello,
I tried installing a custom ROM on my 7310 and it had issues. I have tried installing the original ICS from the sammyfirmware site using ODIN. Now I have a boot loop. I think I need to repartition, but when I click the repartition checkbox in ODIN I get an error.
Do I need to repartition? If so, how do I do it? If not, how do I fix this error?
Thanks.
A few questions:

What did you try to flash and how did you try doing it (CWM, ODIN, ...)?

How far into the boot sequence does it get?
Are you able to get into recovery?
If so, what recovery do you have (Stock vs CWM)?
Have you tried seeing what is causing the boot-loop using adb?

I used CWM to flash AOSP 4.1.2. It seemed to work fine for a day or two, but then it needed charging (as normal). I let it charge over night and in the morning it had less battery. I figured the charger or cable were flaky so I tried another set on another outlet and same thing. Then it finally ran out of battery. I let it charge again over night and when I tried to turn it on it was really slow. The boot animation was only 1 frame every couple seconds. It would eventually boot all the way up, but it was still REALLY slow. So I went into CWM and reflashed the same ROM. Then I got a boot loop of the boot animation. I couldn't get into CWM any more, so then I went into download mode and flashed the official firmware and flashed it with ODIN.

Now when I turn it on it just says, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I can flash again with ODIN and it will get to the Samsung boot animation and just pulse SAMSUNG.

If I hold power and volume down I can get into download mode or Samsung recovery, not CWM, and power with volume up doesn't do anything.

This worked for me with similar problem
Hi Spazlon,
Sorry I'm not allowed to post links yet as I am also very fresh. But I've underlined the addresses so you should be able to find them
I just spent the best of 2 days trying to solve a similar issue - my 8.9 P7300 kept running in boot loop. It had been running ICS stable for several weeks, then suddenly started to loop boot for no good reason. Anyway - you need two programs installed on your computer as well as USB drivers for your tablet. The two programs are Odin and SDK developer package. Odin3 v 1,87 and 1.85 are found here: filecrop.com/Odin-1.87 - try some of the links, one of them should work without having to type a password. The SDK is found here: developer.android.com/sdk You can find more about how to use the developer package on that site as well, but I installed as support for Android 2.1 through to 4.1
Also install the USB driver files for your tablet on your PC. For example from here: xpdrivers.com/usb/_1_24.cfm?gclid=CL2iDs7MCFWF7cAodxFYANQ
You also need the following recovery files which you can find by searching the developer forum for galaxy tab 8.9:
ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4.tar
P73xx_Stock_Recovery.tar
Clockwork_Recovery_6.0.0.8_GT-P7300.zip
and finally a ROM of your choice, for example the ICS rom cm-9-20121028-NIGHTLY-p5.zip that I just used. You can find the latest official ICS ROM's here get.cm/?device=p5
Now - hold down the volume down button on one of the boot cycles. You should now get into a menu with two choices - Download and Recovery. Default is "Download" - if you press volume down you switch between the two choices. Press volume up to select the choice you want.
First you want to select the "Download" option. Then connect your tablet to your PC. The drivers should now install and your tablet should read that you are connected.
Now start Odin3. Click the PDA button and select your P73xx_Stock_Recovery.tar file. Then press Start.
Once finished the tablet will reboot, and you now need to once again get into the recovery menu. Now select the recovery option, not the download menu. You get into the stock recovery menu where you navigate with the volume buttons and select choices with the power button. Do a full factory reset and wipe the cache. WARNING - you will loose ALL your data, but it'either that or stick to a bricked tablet so.... You will also loose your root access,m which is why the next step is needed.
Now that everything is wiped clean you can use Odin again in "download mode" to install ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4.tar with the same procedure as before. You now have root access.
Reboot again and once again into the recovery mode (not download mode). Once you get into the CWM recovery menu you are ready for the final step, which is to install your new operating system.
Go to your SDK installation folder and find the folder named "platform-tools".
First you want to copy two files into this folder (provided you want to install Cynaogen Mod 9):
Clockwork_Recovery_6.0.0.8_GT-P7300.zip
and
Your ROM file of choice
Press shift and right-click in that folder and select "Open command window here". In the command prompt write
adb shell
Note - I had some problems here which was caused by lack of permissions. On your tablet in the CWM menu there should be a choice under the advanced menu for fixing permissions. Use that and you should be able to get into the terminal shell afterwards with the adb shell command
Now write the following command sequence:
• mount /data (don't worry if you get an error message - it means the folder is already mounted)
• cd /data
• mkdir media (if you get an error message saying the folder already exists, that's also OK!)
• exit
• adb push Clockwork_Recovery_6.0.0.8_GT-P7300.zip /data/media
Now you may have to wait a little while until your command prompt is back confirming that the file was uploaded.
Now on your tablet go to the menu point "install zip from sdcard" and find your CWM file that you just uploaded and run that.
Reboot once again into the "recovery mode" - we are now nearly finished.
Run the above push command again from the computer terminal window, this time to upload the ROM file you want to install. (the command is adb push [filename].zip /data/media)
Now on your CWM recovery menu once again run the zip file you just uploaded from the "install zip from sdcard" menu
When completed and you now reboot you should have a completely fresh android installation. Hope this helps.
Remember to mark this thread with solved if it works!
Thanks to kallt_kaffe and all the others who helped me through their various posts (hope that coffee isn't getting too cold again), as well as the following web sites that indirectly helped me resolve this issue googleymind.com/2011/11/guide-so-you-think-you-bricked-your.html#.UJUNN8XAd8G and galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-hacks/how-to-root-galaxy-tab-10-1-the-easy-way/
Good luck.
Thanks! I'll give this a try when I get home. I'll let you know how it works out.
Don't ever try to 'repartion unless you really know what you're doing. You're soft bricked. Repartion and you'll hard brick.
I'd go back and get hc from sammobile and flash that with Odin. Ics has had some problems.

Agreed - my procedure avoids manual repartitioning - I tried lots of other procedures but none worked. I think my data partition had become corrupt because I kept getting error messages. My first try was to recover with my cwm recovery file I made originally but I kept getting back to the boot loop .

I followed the steps outlined by mobjunky and was able to get an official Honeycomb ROM installed, boot the official and copy my custom ROM and CWM 6.0.0.8 on it. Then install CWM 5.4.0.4 followed by 6.0.0.8.
Now my problem is that any custom ROM I put on there just does a boot screen loop. I tried CM10 and the latest AOSP. To install the ROMs I just booted into CWM, installed the ROM from zip, then installed the gapps. I've tried with and without formatting the cache, user data, and Dalkiv, same results.
What am I doing wrong? I have loaded tons of ROMs on this before without any issues, then all of a sudden I can't get anything except official loaded.

did a format /system before installing the custom roms? This is an important step.

Alright I am bloody confused here. Just what exactly are do you folks want to do? Do you want to format your internal storage, which is where your photos are normally stored, or do you want to factory reset the phone and uninstall all non system apps? Regarding the former, you can't do it with stock recovery. You have to either A) use a custom recovery or B) plug it into PC and just format it as you would do a usb thumb drive. As for the latter, A factory reset will uninstall anything that's not a system app (system apps are installed in the folder /system/app rather than /data/app) and wipe all app data including system app data. If you find that it's restoring apps and data, make sure you are not using the Google restore feature.
In any case, do not attempt to wipe the system partition. Doing so is similar to formatting your computer's C:/.

First of all, thank you for the answer, and secondly sorry for my basic english.
what happens is that any app works, I rooted the device and installed the JV5 version, apparently the system starts but appear a lot of windows related with the impossibility to load the different programs that the device need to work properly, I'm trying to upload some pics. I hope you could understand me, and sorry again.
Ps: What is shown in the last picture is something like: Sorry the application XXXXXX has been inexpedtly interrupted. try again.
Are you using titanium backup to restore app data? Sometimes that happens if you restore data for system apps from a different version.

Nop, I used the system recovery at the first time, as I couldn't recover it properly I was searching in different forums an decided to used ODIN to install the original version of Android, I think is Gingerbread 236 jw5 ¿?, after that the former apps I Had like Endomondo, Sygic navigator, Whatsapp, or so still appearing in the main screen, but don't work and the screen shown the message I upload yesterday.
Sorry, thank you for your answers.
I'm totally new in this subject (Here in Spain: Novato) I feel the problems is like the internal memory is locked and I can't handle on it
What files did you flash? And how many files were there in total

I followed this steps:
Step 1: Start Odin
Step 2:
a. Select PIT file as 's1_odin_20100513.pit'
b. Select PDA file as 'PDA_DXJV9_Deodexed_Zipaligned.tar'
c. Select PHONE file as 'PHONE_DXJV9.tar'
d. Select CSC file as 'CSC_OLBJV9.tar'
Step 3: Under Options: Check Re-partition, Check Auto Reboot and Check F. Reset Time
Step 4: Start the phone in the download mode
Step 5: Once ID:COM/phone is 'Added!!' click Start
Step 6: You will see a lot of red text after the flash is done, don't panic, just do a 'wipe data/factory reset' and reboot the device when done.
Step 7: Let the device boot all the way then turn it off.
Step 8: Re-enter Download Mode and re-flash only the CSC file [Step 2 d] without pit and without re-partition.
I fail to see the purpose of step 8. It seems unnecessary.

I was unable to fix it, so I decided to change mobile. Thank you all of you for your support.

extreme newbie-roms and rooting help

Basically I want to flash paranoid android on my atrix hd. There are some bugs like gps and camcorder not working. Theres a fix for the gps but I can't understand it. I need someone to help me with that fix, and explain how to install it. I'm on stock jellybean 4.1.1. I haven't rooted nor have I unlocked my bootloader. I've head of recoveries like safe strap but I have no idea what they are nor how they work. So my main request is for someone to help me decipher the following page for a gps fix as most of the things on that page are too complicated for me. Then, hopefully I'll be able to flash this onto it. Any help is appreciated, and thanks in advance.
Thread in question : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293070
As of right now, there is no fix for the GPS or camcorder. If you flash an XT925 (Razr HD) ROM, you should have working GPS. That is, if you really need GPS, because the only time it doesn't work is when WiFi is off (if WiFi is on, but not connected to a network it still works fine). And we do not need Safestrap anymore, since we now have unlocked bootloaders.
To root your phone, unlock your bootloader, and flash a custom recovery:
REMEMBER THAT BY DOING THIS YOU WILL BE VOIDING YOUR WARRANTY WITH MOTOROLA
Plug your phone into your PC.
To root and unlock your bootloader, you'll need to download Myth Tools from here.
Download the V1.2 from either Dev-Host or Google Docs, it doesn't matter.
Extract the .zip using 7zip or WinRAR or a similar program.
Now go here and download from the first link (Dev-Host again).
Copy the cwm.img that you downloaded from the second link into "Myth Tools - AHD\tools" (you just extracted this is bullet #2) and overwrite the existing one.
Open the file named "MythTools_Launcher.exe", read the warning, type Y, then press enter. The launcher will close, open it again with the same file.
Press 1, then enter twice. Then click install. (If the launcher ever closes, just re-open it. If the command prompt stays open and issues a bunch of confusing commands, don't touch it, just wait.)
Press 6, then enter, and a browser window will open. Click "Download for Windows" (I'm assuming you're using Windows), then install it as you install any program.
Press 4, then enter twice. THIS WILL VOID ANY WARRANTY YOU MAY HAVE It will now root your phone, providing you, and apps that you allow, with full root access to your phone's filesystem. Don't touch it until it's done. Once the command prompt window closes or returns to the menu, continue this "guide."
Press 5, then enter twice. THIS WILL VOID ANY WARRANTY YOU MAY HAVE It will now unlock your bootloader, allowing you to flash a custom recovery, such as ClockworkMod (CWM), as well as custom ROMs through that custom recovery.
Congratulations, you have now rooted your phone, and unlocked your bootloader!
Back in the menu, press 3, then enter, then 1, and enter again. This will flash ClockworkMod recovery onto your phone (the absolute latest version that was built specifically for our device by mattlgroff, which we downloaded and overwrote earlier)
Congratulations, you now have ClockworkMod installed on your phone. Power your device completely down, then hold the power button and both volume buttons to boot into the custom recovery. If it brings you to a black screen with white text, (vol. down scrolls, vol. up selects) go down to "Recovery" and press volume up.
To flash another ROM (Paranoid Android in this case):
THIS IS ASSUMING YOU HAVE AN EXTERNAL SD CARD AVAILABLE AND CAN WRITE TO IT FROM YOUR PC, if you do not, let me know and I can type up new instructions.
Download the ROM and GAPPS from step 3 of this post. DO NOT EXTRACT THESE Once they have finished downloading (be sure your browser or download manager did not receive an error while downloading), move them from your PC to your external SD card.
Boot into your custom recovery, which we flashed above. In CWM (the screen the with grey background and Android Batman in the background) volume up/down both scroll and power selects, all menus loop from top to bottom and bottom to top.
Scroll down to "backup and restore" then select "backup to external sdcard". It will backup all your personal data to your sdcard to be restored to later if need be.
Scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" and select it. Scroll to "Yes -- delete all user data" and select it, any "No" option will go back. (yes, this is tedious, but you will have to do this anytime you want to format, wipe, or flash anything).
You can now select "mounts and storage".
Scroll to "format /system" and select it. Scroll to "Yes - Format" and select it.
Now back in the "mounts and storage" screen, scroll down to "mount /system" and select it.
Now comes the fun part. Scroll to "+++++Go Back+++++" then "install zip from sdcard".
Select "choose zip from external sdcard" and navigate to the location where you moved the ROM and GAPPS zips to.
Select "pa_qinara-3.56-26MAY2013-185039.zip" the "Yes - ________". (the line is just me being lazy and tired)
You're now back at the main menu or the "choose zip from external sdcard" menu (if you're not in this menu, go to it). Navigate back to where the files are and select "pa_gapps-full-4.2-20130524-signed.zip" then "Yes - ________". (just me being tired again)
Now you're almost done. If you're not at the main menu, select "+++++Go Back+++++" until you are.
Select "wipe cache partition" then "Yes - ________". (still tired)
Back at the main menu, select "advanced" then "wipe dalvik cache" then "Yes - _______" (you don't get how tired I am) Now select "+++++Go Back+++++"
Now you're done flashing Paranoid Android! Select "reboot system now" and you're good to go.
Good luck, and enjoy Paranoid Android!
If you don't have an external SD card, let me know and I'll write up instructions for you. Whether you need it or not, I may add it tomorrow after school, it's getting kinda late and I'm really tired.
If I made any mistakes, please let me know!
OK I am a noob just got my first android device in April . You can download and install clock word mod ROM manager from the play store . You have to root your phone first . I have tried every ROM for the HD and I go back to clean ROM everytime , it is 4.1.2 and everything works . You don't need to unlock your boot loader to install safe strap and flash ROMs but you do have to root .

How are you going to give directions for safestrap and cwm.. Lol
But to op unlock your bootloader and install cwm then flash an xt925 rom and the gps will work.. Unfortunately no blue tooth audio or camcorder though. Only way those will work is with a 4.1 based rom.
Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX
I wasn't giving instructions for both just letting him know that safe strap will work without having to unlock the bootloader . Sorry if it seemed other wise .

ROMs with custom kernels such as CM, AOKP, and AOSPA will not work with Safestrap, and tru3gam3r wants to run AOSPA.

My bad I should have been more clear . If you want a ROM that has everything working then you can use safe strap and use one of the 4.1 ROMs without having to unlock the boot loader . Like I said I'm a noob sorry.
Since this is a noob thread.
I do want to say that you should always have a fully working nandroid backup that you created with clockwork mod. This way, if you are in a situation that you need that working rom you can always recover very quickly.(within maybe 5 mins)
I typically keep a "stock" nandroid backup on the external SD card for those times when I can't deal with any bugs and just need things to work...
In most threads, it always says in all caps to make your backup before flashing. This is important for these types of scenarios...as well as many other reasons...

Yeah, I had a stock nandroid, but it was from our old CWM that had weird dates/times so I was like "I have no idea what any of these are (I had around 7) and I don't feel like restoring each one, so I'll just delete them all. That sounds good." Luckily I haven't need to use it yet.
