New to Nexus Issues

Please Do Not Flame Me if this as been gone over but im lost[HTML] [/HTML]
I used the mac root method but it appears that the cwm is very old I dont know if this is the issue but I can not flash anything rom, theme, new cwm what gives and how do I fix this issue currently i am on CWM 3.0.2.4
PS I have a lil working knowledge of this practice as I am coming from the evo-photon-current ET4G this nexus is my wifes as she hated the photon and if I dont get the nexus running some sort of ICS or killer ROM/Theme she is going to throw it at my head

Make sure your cwm recovery is up to date. That was the reason it wouldn't let me flash roms so give it a try.

Yes but how do I flash a new recoveries it won't let me flash cwm
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

Download rom manager from the market and flash cwm from that.

Download Rom Manager from the Market. And then Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, it will download the latest Recovery.

[Q] 2 Important questions before flashing

Before I start I would like to thank you in advance for dedicating your time to help me here (assuming that you did).I couldn't find the answers on the forums even though I searched.
1. Is there any way to backup my 2.2.1 froyo rom along with the kernel and baseband and EVERYTHING to make sure that if I take it back for repairs they can't accuse me of anything?
2. I have P500H and not the normal P500 mentioned in these forums, is there any risk of brick by flashing another rom designed for P500? And if it does work, will all of my cellular connectivity (RIL, calls, sms, 3G) keep working?

1. yes with LGMDP or KDZ, but you need the stock rom that can be found in general LG P500 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824618
2 read here, it was discussed before http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1830232
the answers are all in this forum, just try to search, read all sticky and FAQ threads and you should find all answers, but if you want to someone confirm you this, you can make a new thread like this just to be sure, cheers

Having used Odin and kdz I can say that KDZ is *RISKY*
It is maybe equivalent to Odin by the reference to the work they both do
And yeah you can create a nandroid backup of froyo

I would not want anything risky (everything is risky, but I prefer to take it to a minimum level ) as this is not my phone. Do you recommend flashing custom recovery through rom manager?

Don't use ROM manager on LGp500

I'm sorry to bump this after so long, I just didn't have the courage to flash the recovery (when I got stuck on the fastboot screen I thought that the device is going to the trash can), I have now CWM v5.0.2.0 but I get a message:
E:Bad boot message

I don't like *any* of the Jenkins builds as they are pathetically slow for me even on fresh installations

Do remember trimming the ROM before flashing gapps and then thanking my post otherwise you may get possible bootloop
And flash the oldBB fix after flashing the ROM (search it)

you need a newer/updated SU installer. 4.3 has some new security features so an old SU wont work.

Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Thank you so much! So from what I understand, this is 4.3 and all it requires is flashing it through a custom recovery and then installing the SuperSU you linked to above and everything will work fine? I was wondering if custom kernels that are designed to work with Sense-based as well as GPE-based ROMs would actually work with that one? They work on GPE 4.2 just fine, like Bulletproof and ElementalX.

Thanks for the update!!! I just flash this in TWR, but it failed to flash...any help???

No custom recovery so no ROM flashes until someone finds a new exploit. Not certain about the downgrade to older firmware, I'm sure that you could though.

Any new features make it worth upgrading from a flex Rom?

Few observations:
- You can now enable the transparent status bar setting in NOVA launcher!!
- Group Messaging is now featured
- Emoji's don't send as MMS anymore
- Weather animation on secure lockscreen
- You get Immersive mode now with apps that support it.
They disabled Google Wallet which sucks but I'm sure their will be a workaround eventually.
