I am trying to install Gingervolt on my Lg Revolution and i installed clockworkmod and revotoolkit on my phone but clockworkmod doesnt say my phone? and when i try to install recovery on revotoolkit it says it installs but when i reboot my phone the only thing i ever get is after the Verizon splash screen and after that it just goes to a black screen and i have to take my battery out. i cant get it into recovery mode even when i do it manually. please if anyone knows anything please let me know i've been stuck for about a week.
any luck on this? seems to be the same thing i'm encountering
I'm having a similar issue. I used the LGrevolution all in one package to root my phone. This root package is supposed to also install CWM.
The root package says that it complete successfully and restarts my phone, however only the superuser app is available and no CWM. When I DL CWM on my own it doesn't list my phone when I go to install flash recovery.
I have no clue where to go from here. please advise.
I know I would have a better chance of getting an answer to this if I had access to the forums for my phone. Instead they throw all of us non-regular users into the "we never look here" channel until we make 10 posts. lol
Flashing GingerVolt
I am currently rooted on the LG Revolution, I was wanting to try GingerVolt V1.3 on my phone i understand that you have to download MT's the only question that i have is how do i save the .zip file to my external SD card?
I can get to CWM recovery just fine and back up my current ROM and wipe all current data (Have done it once) but when i go to update from SD there are no files found. What am i doing wrong?
Thank You in advance for any help
idk if this will help but?
you are all correct out phone is not listed this not being fully open for the lg revo but if i remember correctly I just selected the first device on the list it is kinda has a Ect. ect. ect after so that ppl with all other phones can use it too the first one is like the universal if yours isnt on the list? it worked for me now I cant remember what I did and i am sort of a noob at the whole rooting thing but after i did this reboot in to recovery didnt show on the pop up window when i held down the power button so i had to restart i think a few times maybe power off all the way or something you wont hurt it so i say try till it works if you are rooted you wont screw anything up? i havent in a yr of having the phone and i dont really know what im doing still half the time?
LG Revo stuck on CWM-based Recover v5.0.2.7
I was trying to install Gingervolt 2.0 and thought I followed all steps to complete the task but now it's stuck on the CWM menu and I cannot do anything else. I tried formatting and starting over but now it's just stuck on the CWM main menu. Help please! n00b will be a n00b! Won't let me mount external sd card in order to copy Gingervolt 2.0.zip to phone to re-install. I'm pretty sure this is bricking? I have no idea. Thought I read enough to root but missed a step in the process.
UPDATE: Was able to install Gingervolt 2.0 by MTMichaelson, installs files, Writes symlinks and permissions, Replaces kernel, Formats cache and dalvik, unmounts, done.
After that I am stuck on what to do. Please help! Any would be much appreciated!

Go here http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/ and download the 5.0.2.0 recovery place the file on the root of your sd card and boot into hboot volume down plus power hboot will find the file and install the recovery. Make sure your sdcard is formated fat 32.

MESSAGE TO DEVELOPERS/ANYONE WHO CAN HELP
Long story short, i edited my build.prop incorrectly and reset (yes i know very stupid) now my motorola cliq opens up to the motoblur screen but repeated messages saying "Sorry! the process X has shut down" show up.
Literaly, nearly nothing can open up but i am able to enter usb mode if i fight with the endless popups. i can also enter recovery mode because my phone was rooted before this. The problem is that my recovery image doesnt have any options that could help me
(reboot, apply sd card:update.zip, and wipe data/factory reset)
i've tried putting an official motorola update.zip onto my sd card then running the apply.. but like i told you before my build.prop is messed up a little so an error shows up saying:
Installing update...
E/:Failure at line 1: assert file_contains("SYSTEM:build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint=motorola/morrison_two_us/morrison/morrison:1.5/CUPCAKE/1.4.8:user/rel-keys" == "true" || file_contains("SYSTEM:build.prop", "ro.build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint=MOTO/morrison_two_us/moInstallation aborted
Press Menu+Back to reboot
All i need to do is fix the line of code i messed up but i cant reach my systems files,...i attached my original build.prop and a copy of my corrupted one to show you.. I also cannot use the phone service or network service (even wifi) because like i said, nearly ALL the services are unable to stay on, they immediately shut off at startup.
Ways to fix this would be to REACH/EDIT THE SYSTEMS FILES
1. I cant use an app like root explorer since i cant access any apps on my phone even things like my settings
2. Turn on usb debugging somehow (I cant access my settings app so im lost on this one)
1. ingenious DESKTOP program that can somehow access my phone's system files without adb (if it can access the sd there has to be a way..)
3. Ive looked around to maybe find a custom image recovery that had options like editing system files (shouldn't be hard to make..) but ive found none with that option and im not sure how i would install it without adb...
What i CAN do
1. ENTER USB MODE (that has to count for something so Developers Please help me)
2. I can play with the motoblur intro screen to some degree to make it go away, then a blank black home menu appears. If i wait a while for the popups to stop at the motoblur screen, i follow the instructions but it gets stuck at registering a new account or existing one since you need network access.
3. ENTER REVOVERY MODE (but the only option that looks helpful is the sdcard update which gave me an error...) I havent tried the wipe data/factory reset because the factory reset doesnt touch the build.prop so its pointless
WHat should I do? WHoever sees this please give me advice or direct me somewhere to get it... THANK YOU
[EDIT]
BTW what i was trying to do on the build.prop was replace this line (ro.build.fingerprint=generic/sdk/generic:3.2/HTJ85B/140714:eng/test-keys)
with (ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.1-update1/ESE81/29593:user/release-keys)
but i messd up and put
(ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.1-update1/ESE81/29593:user/rel)
youll see this in the attachments...what this does is unlock my 1.5 firmware market to ALL the apps (updating to the official 2.1 using recovery wouldve handled this but i didnt even know of this update till after my mistake)
I just thought id mention...
if you have adb abilities you can push the old build.prop. If you do not know a out this then post back and I will help you.You said you can enter recovery, but that is stock original recovery that anyone can get access to. If you ever bootstrapped your phone you can try pull the battery out, wait about 10 seconds, then plug your phone charger in without the battery in. If your bootstrappped this will pull you into a more advanced recovery mode. The last option is to use rsd lite to flash an sbf to your phone if nothing else works. If you have never done this just look up sbfing motor cliq to stock.
Good luck, and remember to thank me if this helped
SOLVED!!
I fixed my phone on my own but THANKS to rootfan for being the first to answer.
HERES HOW:
I was able to access recovery mode and from there i discovered the sd update option.
It took hours of research and work but i learned alot about adb,motorola, cliq, etc.
Anyway, i originally found the Blur_Version.2.1.5.MB200.T-Mobile.en.US.zip and i tried to put that in my sd card (i could get into it from the phone) but when i tried to update using recovery it gave me an error so i decided to try the "latest 1.5 with Blur 1.6.1" which was actually very hard to find... you can get it here
motorola. com/staticfiles/Support/Experiences/sdcards/US-EN/tmo/cliq/downgrade-to-cupcake .html
Lastly, i put that on my sd as update.zip, went into recover, and the update was SUCCESSFUL! MY PHONE REBOOTED AND NOW IS ACTING NORMAL AGAIN. Now, im trying to update to the Android™ 2.1 (Eclair):
motorola. com/staticfiles/Support/Experiences/sdcards/US-EN/tmo/cliq/2-1_index. html
but im still getting that error whether i update using recovery or the settings/about phone/system update option... Thats strange but my phone is still working normally and ill find a way to update to 2.1...
ONCE AGAIN THANKS TO ROOTFAN AND HOPEFULLY THIS POST WILL WORK FOR SOMEONE ELSE WHO MAY BE HALF-BRICKED (no adb, no usb debug, no root explorer) THERS STILL HOPE IN RECOVERY+USB DRIVE+BLUR VERSION SOFTWARES
Thanks man, now this is probabaly a redicilous reply, since im sure you would have already tried this, but you can try going into settings, about phone, and click on update and see if the 2.1 eclair ota update will work on your phone.

You can reflash a stock rom back if you wanna get it done easily - or even a updated gingerbread one from samfirmware.com

Hi all, First of all,please forgive me for asking a probably silly question for my first post! Anyway, I got my new Nexus S in the mail the other day, and its nothing short of fantastic I quickly looked up all the cool things I could do with it and I discovered rooting. Btw, please don't take me for a n0ob, I probably sound like one but I do have some limited knowledge about this kind of stuff. Anyway, I proceeded to read up as much as i could, and eventually unlocked the bootloader of my phone from a seemingly helpful guide. I used Clockwork Recovery Mod. A link to the guide I followed can be found here
nexusshacks(dot)com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-root-nexus-s-or-nexus-s-4g-new/
I also installed superuser following the guide above. This is where my problems start. After this, I started up my phone, and it loaded fine, and i could see the superuser app in the menu. I proceeded to recover all my contacts and previous apps etc, and used the phone for a day. After returning from school this afternoon, I planned to install Cyanogenmod 7. I thought that the best way to do this would be to follow the guide that nexusshacks.com supplied as i previously used their guide. Link here
nexusshacks(dot)com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-install-cyanogen-mod-rom-on-your-nexus-s/
I booted the phone holding volume up and power, and proceeded to follow the video instructions. when it it came time to enter the recovery mode, my phone rebooted and instead of initiating clockwork, my phone got stuck on the google screen it shows before booting. I understand now that I was supposed to load my preffered roms etc on the internal storage SD before unlocking, and I can't access the SD card to do so. Every time i try and open it on my computer i get "please insert disk into drive x". I haven't downloaded Rom Manager yet, and i know i need to flash clockwork recovery first, but I don't want to risk doing that then attempting to access the SD card, frankly because i'm a little in over my depth (if you haven't already gathered!).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as to where to go from here.
Thanks!
I don't have a Nexus however with with Evo the process is similar ...can you boot into recovery?
If yes....boot into recovery. 2) then go to mounts/storage 3) mount USB and that should allow you to see your USB in your pc ...4) put the rom of choice on your card 5) unmount
Be sure before flashing that you clear cache, dalvik cache, and wipe data/ factory reset then flash rom ..
See if that helps

Well I was caught my the new MIUI ROM i saw this morning and decided to switch from Bionix. I have flashed many phones and farmiliar with the process. I left my phone alone while the install occured. I watched it wipe data and cache. Now when it powers up, the samsung logo appears for 2 seconds and a quick I9000 logo flashes for like .25 of a second. The 3 button method to force it into recovery. I dont have a usable copy of windows to boot camp from my mac so ODIN is currently not an option.
I can get the phone into download mode so i know its not a lost sailor, i just need a mac solution without booting windows. I really dont want a refurb replacement from warranty either
You want heimdall.
Yup. heimdall rocks

SO here goes...
first off i am rooted, have all appropriate drivers, etc, have used dab to root.
I am a total newb, and was experiencing issues flashing a new ROM. when trying to install the zip through cwm the phone said "signature verification failed" or something to that extent. so being the deductive thinker that I am, I formatted everything: boot, system, sd, etc. After doing this, I realized that I totally wiped out all the files on the internal sd.
so i downloaded the heimdall one click- it connects but fails regardless of whether i flash boot loader.
i can access blue 3e recovery and download mode.
now. i want to know if it is possible to push or even install a ROM through adb. I've been playing around with it all day and have gotten nowhere.
i thought maybe i could load up a rom to an external sd but obviously you can't mount an extsd in cwm.
am i screwed?
ill gladly donate through paypal if someone can help me get my baby up and running again. i do not want to be using my nokia from middle school anymore!!
thank you in advance for ANY help you can give me.

This is my first thread that i ever needed to start on anything on phones so please understand that i'm REALLY DESPERATE i have looked in a ton of places for this fix and i tried to use clockworkmod and ended up doing that correctly but when i tried to restore it it say i dont have any backups nor recovery files and i tried putting cynagenmod on my sd card but it couldnt find the file and then i tried to use NFFLASH and make it stock android again but nothing happened and ended up stuck on the blue logo screen again. please i dont know what to do
Which version of Cyanogenmod is it? Put it on the root of your SD card. Is it already on the internal storage? I believe when you click "install from .zip" or something of the equivalent there's an option to select "choose from internal storage".
You can boot back into clockwork mod by turning the phone off, holding down the power and volume down buttons until the lg logo with the BLUE background appears, then release.
I was trying to install cynagen mod 7.01 from Rom manager but it froze in the logo screen and so i took out the battery and put it back on and it still continued to do that. After that i used CWM but i didnt have any ROMS to restore it and before it didnt correctly make my backup so i just want to restore it like the way it used to but i dont know where to put it in my sd card

Your sentence is incredibly long. Gave up after the desperate grab for attention. You may have wiped your backups by mistake. It happens. I did it not once, but twice. Give us more info so we can help. ROM, kernel, etc. A list of apps you run on a daily basis would be helpful.

Never use rom manager to install on this phone, you'll continue to run into this problem.
Can you access your phone storage when it's plugged into your computer? If you can, drop CM onto it at the root directory, put it back into your phone, boot into CWM and install the zip.
i think my rom was stock rom 2.3.4 before i tried flashing cynagenmod the apps arent very important to me and i only had this phone for a week because i got too excited about the dual core.
Follow the instructions HERE to the letter. You'll go back to stock and you'll have to root your phone again (if that's what you want to do) but it should get you up and running again.
In future, search, search, and search some more. I assure you, most problems people have had have been discussed and probably solved on these forums.
Welcome to XDA!
What is the name for this process of trying to restore my device from blue logo screen? If i know the name of the issue im trying to fix maybe i can start searching for the guides. I can't really access my internal or sd card when i plug in my usb and i don't really understand what the problem i ran into if its even fixable or not. The link you've sent me for the guide i'm trying right now but i can't just sit here and wait for an hour. Feedback is really appreciated

The whole process (if done correctly) should take but about 15 minutes give or take. What you'll be doing is Flashing Stock Recovery. Download the file provided in the link I gave, and then follow each instruction exactly as it says. Shouldn't be a need to Google any guides as this spell it out for you. Just have read and execute.
If you used NvFlash/One Click Recovery to flash Clockwork Mod to your device then you should already have the APX driver installed on your computer. In that case, half of the battle is already done.
But, if you installed your recovery using Rom Manager, then I would download the APX driver and go through the whole process in the guide I've linked from start to finish.
