hey dudes, i have another problem with root. i wanted to flash CM7 to it and i used rom manager to download it and flash, but it is stuck at loading screen with the cute little blue android dude on the skateboard. i cannot go into rocovery because i used the one click to root and it only wants to update the rom thingy. it updates, and i can use the phone, only without CM7. so basically what i want is for the bootloader to stop overwriting my rom and i want to install CM7
OK: edit. i just made it overwrite my system and i ran regular rom. but alas, another problem. i tried to install CM7, and i put this kernal on it and now i am stuck on endless rebooting AHHHHH. ok now i am just updating the pd98 thingy again to get my phone back but it probably will do endless reboot again if i try to flash the kernal again. any ideas?
EDIT AGAIN: ok flashed kernal and rom at same time and stuck at booter again with the cute dude but i dont want to re-flash the pd968 thingy. should I? or should i wait
EDIT: i can go into clockworkmod but not recovery mode
EDIT: fixed it. forgot to factory reset. i am now running CM7 on android 2.3.1
Moved to general as not android development

well give this a shot since you cant go into recovery. put the rom that you know works on the root of your sd card and rename it to pc36img and try to flash it that way. I hope it works.

PC36IMG is for the HTC EVO. The HTC Inspire is a PD98, so that is what the bootloader is going to look for on the SD card.
Lol sorry I was messing with my evo eariler I guess the number got stuck in my head.

Yup - Read that. There is one additional ROM that is not in that list, which i personally prefer.
In the Dev forum, Xboarders has posted a GB OTA ROM that has been rooted - other than that, it is purely stock. If you don't want to run a ROM that has had many changes made (and requires it be updated quite frequently), i would suggest flashing this once you have clockwork mod installed.

Correct. Follow the instructions for the one click nvflash tool to flash clockworkmod recovery and then flash whichever rom you want. If you want the stock GB rom there is a pre rooted version of it in the development section that you can flash once you get recovery flashed to your phone properly.

Geovanny he's correct follow the instructions to install clockwork
1. Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Instructions found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
2. Boot into ClockworkMod Recovery by turning off your phone and turning it on with the volume down and power button held down until you see the clockworkmod recovery boot screen.
3. Install the zip found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179748
4. You are now rooted with the stock GB rom.
i try doin the steps and in the 1st step of rooting the phone the superoneclick just froze like it says superoneclick is not workin and i got scare so i x it out... what can i do?
Why did you try superoneclick if you already knew it doesn't work and we already told you it wouldnt work?
Nvflash clockwork mod recovery using the one click tool. Boot into recovery. Wipe data, wipe dalvik cache. Flash rom of choice. Fix permisssions. Reboot. That's it.

Oh boy, another thread like this -__-
Dude listen to phburks for some reason u don't have to actually use the root tool, y? I have no clue but its cool and I wonder if we could have done it all along lol so basically u have to use nvflash it is a tool to flash clockworkmod, and it is in superoneclick form so it should be super easy just do what it says install it and u will have recovery, now your probably thinking why can't I just install rom manager? Well u could but with the g2x its what we call a fake flash, basically if u installed a wrong file or something like that And u went into a bootloop u wouldn't be able to get into recovery, that's y we recommend flashing recovery the nvflash method this way if something bad ever happens u can get into your phone by pressing volume down and power. And fix it, with rom manager u can't do that, now once u have recovery installed on ur phone just download that rom they told u to do (xboarders) then go into recovery after u put xboarders zip on the root of ur sdcard, wipe data, wipe cache, then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache then install the zip, then boot up andyou have a rooted gb rom and will stay rooted

Hey Sarni84,
Just curious what wiping the dalvik cache does in the advanced settings in CWM? I have not seen that on any of the instructions on the developers threads when installing a new rom

The dalvik cache is basically Androids way of optimizing apps so they load faster and your system runs smoother. If you don't clear it when switching to a different rom it can possibly cause issues like boot loops, etc. Not sure if its cleared by clockwork with a data wipe/factory reset so I always clear it through the advanced menu. It doesn't hurt to clear it more than once so I figure better to be sure its cleared.
After you clear it your first reboot can take several minutes depending on how many apps you have installed as it has to rebuild the dalvik cache for all your apps.

Installing clockworkmod recovery will allow you to flash alternative roms onto your phone. If the rom you flash is rooted then yes you will have root. Most of the custom roms are rooted.
And yes you can do a battery calibration. What problems are you having with your battery?

Is it possible to take a certain app or program from a certain rom and like pull it from the rom and install it on a rooted phone? I just rooted my g2x and I want the old LG froyo camera back. Can it get pulled from another rom and installed on my phone without my flashing a new rom?[
Rooted but on gingerbread? Head on over to the development section and check out flak0's mod... Just download it and flash away... Wait! You have clockwork recovery right?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
To answer your question
generally: yes. However, the LG camera is a special case and a lot of work has gone into making it work on gingerbread. It is possible but you'll need a specific mod over in the Development board.
Sent from my Nexus Prime using XDA Ultimate App
Yes on gingerbread and yes I have the clockwork recovery mod. I'm familiar with this stuff but not an expert, so sorry if these are noob questions but I checked out the thread and there is a bunch of links for the camera. Which one do I download? Im guessing the 3.0 one but Im not sure. And thats the actual cam that I am going to flash on my phone right? Not a new mod? and do I flash it on my phone just like the clockwork mod? I mean the same exact process? Or is this just like an .apk that I install? Can you please help me through the process of getting it on my phone?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166531
Yeah the 3.0 is the one you want.
Just flash it in Clockwork the way you would flash any rom or kernel.
Before you flash though make sure to wipe cache and dalvik, and just to be safe fix permissions afterwards.
Just to make sure we're on the same page... You flashed clockwork via the NVflash method, right?
and then to get into clockwork to flash other stuff such as roms and this camera, you hold volume down and power from a powered off state, correct?

Yes I am on clockwork via NVflash. I'm still a bit confused. Sorry if I wasnt clear before. See, the clockwork thing was the only and first thing I flashed. I never flashed a rom or anything. I followed the instructions to root exactly how I saw them. Obviously one step was to flash the clockwork mod. Thats how far my experience with flashing goes. So Im not exactly sure what to do to flash the cam on my phone. I put it on my sd card Im assuming right? Then I do the hold volume down and power to get to whatever that screen is called? After that do I just go to "install zip from sdcard" and look for it? Thats what I assumed but I have no idea why I have to wipe cache or what dalvik is? and why/how do I fix permissions after?
Ok good ur on the right track having CWM installed via NVflash.
Two questions:
1) What version of clockwork are your running?
2) How did you achieve root if the only thing you've ever flashed is clockwork?
That will help me help you.
I think the CWM is 5.020. I got it from this link..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
then to root, all I did was download the root zip file found in this link..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255214
I followed those steps.
So then you have flashed something in CWM... you flashed the root zip, no?
The same way you flashed the root zip is the same way ur gonna flash the camera, I guess since its not a rom or kernel you don't need to bother wiping catch and fixing permissions:
-Boot into CWM with vol down and power
-select install zip from sd card
-find the camera 3.0 zip on ur sd card, install
-reboot, enjoy
For future reference, when ur ready to flash a custom rom or kernel, add 3 more steps to this process:
-Boot into CWM
-wipe catch partition (in the case that your going from a 2.3.3 rom to a CM7 based rom, this step changes to "wipe data/factory reset")
-advanced, wipe dalvik catch
-install zip from sd card
-find zip and install it
-advanced, fix permissions
Thank you! Just one last quick question. Let's say I flash the cam app. Then later down the road I wanna flash a new rom. Since I gotta wipe everything I would have to flash the cam back to use it on the new rom right?
Yes. However, don't try to flash the LG cam over a CM7-based rom, as it won't work. 2.3.3 based roms are ok.
So what are my options if I don't like the Gingerbread/cm7/AOSP camera?
it sucks big time
Which ROM is the best? I am seriously thinking about flashing a new rom on my phone. I never was but I guess flashing is like a drug, do it once and you'll wanna do it more. well atleast for me lol. I'm asking this because I was looking through the rom options in the other forum and I read something about needing to flash a kernel to overclock, then I saw a CM7 kernel with an overclock preset? Confused me a little. I can flash any rom I want and overclock myself right? Will all roms have a kernel that supports overclocking?
Can you give me the best rom/kernel to flash based what I'm looking for? I would like to overclock to atleast 1.2(Whats the highest I can do without it becoming dangerous for the phone?). I want no bloatware, can a rom free up internal memory? if so, I want that, faster then stock performance and better battery life. The LG camera or atleast a cam app that is better then stock android. I also want stablity in performance. Just for a reference, I was looking at Weapon rom, seems like the best to me, but then again I am new to the whole rom game. I know its based on personal taste, but I would like a little push in the right direction so I dont have to do trial and error with roms.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

that is near the same camera, likely the same developers.
Only thing is I think the steady feature was an option on all photo modes on Froyo LG, where here its a specific option itself. I don't remember well enough the old one.
Thanks a lot mate
ive been rooted for a long time now, i have a Moto Attrix 2. recently i did the updated to the 2.3.6 but before i did, i went ahead and did the perminent root method. this helped me keep root. now i want to jump into Roms. i'm not new to this. i had a Droid X proir to the Attrix. so i kinda know my way around. sorta..aha, ive read the process of the rom i want to install on to my phone which is supercharge Rom
So do you have a question, I couldn't tell from your post
awe man, i'm sorry about that.
my question...actually the question is about the process needed to be taken. i read thru the steps to flash supercharge rom V5 but, i have no clue to where start from since i have not flash a rom on this device.? so i'm startin off from scretch i'm sorry about that, i shoulda proof read that..lol, before i posted.
Step 1)Install CW recovery from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346977
Step 2) Run it and reboot into recovery
Step 3) MAKE A BACKUP! I repeat MAKE A BACKUP! this is important in case something goes wrong while flashing a new rom you can flash your backup and return your phone to normal.
Once you have learned to do that you can now start flashing roms. Just download the roms and follow the directions in the roms. ALL ROMS REQUIRE CW Recovery to install so you'll get used to it. I just wanted u to follow those 3 steps before you start flashing roms. People forget to make backups and they end up losing all their info.
Read the BEGINNERS GUIDE it has all the info you could ever need.

Dont worry about ever doing the forever root there's a root method for 2.3.6
Before flashing any rom I suggest you flash the 2.3.5 FXZ and update to 2.3.6 and then root it. This way you start from a fresh base and don't have any random bugs that would take a long time to hunt down and fix due to coming from a non-stock rom.
Ask away. What questions do you have? I recommend installing CWM on Recovery zip (and download the remove script while your at it you might want that). Revoke root rights to Bootstrap after installing the on boot zip. It takes one cycled reboot for the script to take effect. Make sure it works before installing any ROMs. Read the Read Me file for supercharged before installing. That's a few tips from me. Oh, if you have a windows based PC install and know how to use RSD lite and the fxz file in case of a disaster. In other words incase you can't recover from some unforeseen event using your phone and CWM Recovery alone. Make sure your battery is fully charged before installing a new ROM. Off the top of my head those tips come to mind.

Because if you dont deny bootstrap SU after FLASHING CWM ON STARTUP zip then you will not get CWM everytime you boot up, it's a bug. So if you want CWM everytime you boot your phone you have to deny bootstrap SU. Other than that IDK the exact technical details on why it does this, it just does.

Sorry KEB - not to step on your toes or anything, but...
Get and install the A2 Bootstrap from here.
You can now boot into "Recovery" mode through the Bootstrap app. You can test it first or you can just go and get the CWM on Boot zip files here. Download the two zip attachments in the first post to your sdcard.
Then open the A2 Bootstapper app - click the top button, then ok, then the 2nd button.. and viola! It will boot into recovery.
Then wipe your cache partition, and dalvik cache, and install zip from sdcard. "...Global..." zip makes it boot into recovery every time you reboot, and the "..Remove.." zip removes it.
Good luck. Happy reading!

ive been reading for weeks and am ready to start flashing roms and recoverys but i come to find out that i cant get into stock recovery. the phone looks like its going into recovery mode then it shows an android guy with a "!" then reboots normally... can i flash a new recovery without using the stock one. or how can i restore the stock recovery? ive been reading for hours and hours and cant find anything helpfull on the web... im using lg ally with 2.2.2 rooted with gingerbreak. i posted at an lg ally forum but no one answers since the phones so old i guess.. please help cuz im about to smash this thing against my head
i managed to get it working or i thought i did.. it let me download it in rom manager after i clicked "fix permissions" it booted into recovery but when i booted out and tried it again it wont boot into recovery again, yet rom manager thinks that CWM is installed... i dont get it
clear data of rom manager and try flashing recovery again...

will try next time i get wifi... i read something about having to install it twice? the first is only temporary or something is this true? or when CMW flashes it should it stay there the first time?
No no no,the rom manager flashes the rom only once & that is permanent...
You have cum across some mistake i feel....

it did the same thing again. would doing a factory reset restore the stock recovery? rom manager thinks CWM is installed. was i supposed to wipe cache and dalvik cache or does that not matter. im kind of scared to mess with too much since i cant get into recovery to make a back up.... is there a way to side load it using terminal emulator or do i need to use the SDK because i dont have a pc
i ended up getting it working after i did it one more time. thanks
