Hi
I have LG OPTIMUS P500H
I installed CM7 + Kernel. after that installation i couln't talk with the phone (NO SERVICE). so i installes new BaseBand the V20G and the service is back.
THE PROBLEM IS:
1) No 3G and NO WIFI.
2) After the CM7+Kernel installation the ClockWorkModRecovery version was 5.0... But after the BB upgrade the ClockWorkModRecovery version was 3.1.0.0 and it's stuck and i can't do recovery.
3) In the phone menu ther is an option to install from sd card but there is a message that there is nothing on the sd card. but when i connect the phone via usb i can see all the apps that on the sd card.
NEED HELP

1) Try to reflash your recovery through ROM Manager and choose "new BB".
2) After you flashed CWM through ROM Manager try to reflash CM7 too, but back up your data first.
Did you install a custom kernel on CM7?
Also what do you mean by "i can't do recovery"? If you can't enter in the recovery mode or you can not install anything the only solution is the one above. Also pay attention that recoveries can install ONLY ZIP ARCHIVES, not other types of files.

Hi
1) I installed that KERNEL (2.6.35.14)] candiedIce v2.5.6 (2012-08-29) and the CM7-20120902-NIGHTLY-p500.zip
. after the BB upgrade, it's look's like the CM7 deleted beacause the phone back to it's first homescreen, the rom manager + the superuser deleted.
after that the phone info is:
android ver: 2.3.3
kernel ver: 2.6.35.10
build number: GRI40
softwer ver: LG P500 V20G
2) I can get to the CWM (power + vol+ home) and i can see the menu but it didn't respond it's stuck.
I tried to flash but i get a message that's said: "An error occured while attempting to run privileged commands!".
And when i tried to ROOT again with GINGERBREAK it's stuck. (run almost an hour and i stopped it)aginnors vere-
Lolz.. instead of upgrading baseband.. you flashed stock GB rom.
Your root is broken.. did you root using superoneclick?? Gingerbreak wont work in GB 2.3.3.
Use oneclick again and root it again. After that flash CWM 5.0.2.0 using Rom Manager.
Then do usual things to flash rom.. kernels.. etc!!
Hi
I used GingerBreak, and i already upgrade the BB, I cant found SuperOneClick all the link's is broken.
Is there anything to Reboot again.
Hi
I succeed to Root with SuperOneClick v2.3.3, but i can't to install the CM7 because the CMW is stuck.
Is there something thats i can do to delete or reinstall the CMW.
Install rom manager and flash clockworkmod from it
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app
If you are on new baseband.. reflash cwm 5.0.2.0 through rom manager.
Select new bb when the flash option comes!!

Could ROM Manager fake Flash Clockworkmod recovery be responsible for bricking phones on LG update? Let me explain what I mean - Lots of people, like myself, installed ROM Manager and its CWM because we did not know it's not real Flash. Then We switched to "real" CWM. Now the question is when we do normal stock recovery in order to get official GB update, does this CWM of ROM manager still remains in the phone? If so, could it be that it contributed to the troubles updating through LG tool? How can I make sure I removed it from the phone?
Thanks!
Yes. Many people have confirmed that not having the stock recovery on the device is a road to Bricksville. Even though you are fake flashed there is code inserted somewhere to redirect to the fake flash, and the recovery images for flash (normally installed every boot) have been deleted or renamed. You should flash stock recovery with NVFlasher to make sure you are back at a clean stock recovery before using the LG Update tool.
Thanks but what I mean is that AFTER I realized it's fake flash I installed "real" CWM. So when I do stock on this "real", does CWM rom manager still remains in the phone and how can I remove it?
post deleted by poster
so I am a little confused I used CWM to make a backup before I did anything to my phone. And I was already on the 2.3.3 lg update. So if I restore that I should be back to stock and CWM should still be there right? But lets say LG comes out with another update (Doubtful) and I want to use it I should use the NVflash to reture the phone to stock? if I use NVflash will that put me back on froyo 2.2.2 or GB 2.3.3?
Also I used rom manager to make a backup of the rom I was on which was the stock rooted so is that fake or what the hell is fake? is it the first option in rom manager the CWM recovery? is it the same if I use CWM stock recovery? in cwn itself? Oh I am so confused someone help me
ROM Manager cannot flash directly to the phone so it "fake flashes" CWM recovery. It only installs a few files to the system so that when you run recovery the stock recovery runs an "upate" and that launches CWM recovery from your SD card. Just return the phone to GB 2.3.3 stock and be happy with it. If you restore using CWM it will remain there, so you should use NVFlash to restore stock recovery also.

I have BOTH - CWM AND CWM through the ROM Manager. So if use NV Flash to go to stock, is the CWM from ROM manager still in the phone and how can I remove it?
Thanks!
so what I am getting out of this is rom manager is crap and dont use it. If you just use CWM to do your flashing and backups and recoverys you should be ok.

Thanks but my questions are:
1. If I go to stock using NV Flasher, is ROM Manager's CWM still going to be in the phone, since I have BOTH?
2. Can it BRICK my phone if I do the LG update then?
3. How can I make sure I removed BOTH - NV Flash CWM AND ROM Manager CWM?
I soft bricked my phone playing with ICS, I got a JIG and solved the problem
I can now ODIN back to any version and once rooted I can install any samsung based rom, the problem comes when I try to flash aosp both CM7 and any ICS beta
What happens is I select the zip, it runs a script and the phone reboots, I see the AT&T logo and then it mounts the sd card, it says it can't find the zip file.
I've tried Froyo, Eclair, even gingerbread (I know your not supposed to flash cm7 from gingerbread, I'm just running outta ideas) I have froyo bootloaders, I reinstalled them with heimdal. I've also done a master clear and erased the internal sd card
Does anyone have an idea of why this is happening?
Are you trying to install the zip from ClockworkMod?
Most likely, the rom is incompatible with the flash method you are choosing which bricks your phone. I had this happen to me twice from either flashing a rom the wrong way or just trying to flash the wrong rom all together and killing my system, but I ended up telling AT&T Techs that it happened when I tried upgrading to 2.2 to avoid warranty issues and they replaced my whole device with a refurbished unit =]
However keep in mind that they cannot jig your device and you will have to do that yourself to get your data off your device before you try getting a new one via this method.
Possible Solution:
1. If you can, flash cm7 to your device
2. Flash This ICS rom

Another problem
Ok, everything I see says I should flash from a captivatemtd recovery, but when I install Rom manager and select captivatemtd, it says their are no offical recoveries for it, I'm currently running cognition froyo 2.2 with froyo bootloaders
Does anyone know where I can manually get the captivatemtd CWM? and how do I install it?

I'll go over my method of installing(I've had ZERO issues flashing from/to any ROM)
1. I FTS/MC using Odin 1 Click. My phone build is 1008
2. Root with 1 click root(I have to do steps 2 and 3 because I do not have 3 button recovery)
3. Sideload and install ROM Manager(Rom manager, and CWM update.zip are in the Sideload zip that's attached)
4. Copy CWM Update.zip and ROM to device. Reboot and install CWM
5. Reboot into recovery and install ROM
Odin 1 Click(If you can use it)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12100225/Odin I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.zip
Root 1 Click
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12100225/Root.zip
Sideload Wonder Machine and ROM Manager
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12100225/Sideloading.zip
Edit** What is the build number of your phone?
Here's what you need
Just download this rom
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/cm_captivatemtd_full-181.zip
And then watch this video!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBPu-GqM9RE
Flash CM7 using odin
then flash ICS using clockwork mod using the instructions I gave you before.
That's the easiest way I found to do it and that's how I went from stock rom to CM7 rom and then finally to ICS

Tried this to the letter still doesn't work, could it be because of rom manager not finding a recovery for captivatemtd, some pages say I need that recovery but it isn't available in rom manager.
Finnally
Finnally got CM7 installed the problem was I had to do the three button boot into recovery twice, the first time updates clockworkmod to version 5.x
Now to try ICS again, wish me luck
Thanks
Thanks for all the suggestions, the tip in the video about flashing the speedmod kernel did help I think, I've successfully flashed
teamhacksung's ICS Port for Captivate (BUILD 9) again.
A couple notes here:
1 when your flashing cm7 from cwm( NOT 3e RECOVERY THOUGH) you need to flash the. Zip file, then reboot system, IT WILL PROBABLY BOOT LOOP, three button back to recovery and flash again, then while in recovery still flash gapps. Reboot and it will install fine. You should ONLY need to do the two time flash the first time going to cm7.
2. When you go to rom manager and choose manual flash overide from hitting the menu button you will get the unsupported recovery, DON'T WORRY about it and hit ok. Then another popup will come up and choose 3.x and it will work.

First of all,
I updated to 4.0.3
then i would like to root my phone..
I used a guide found on the nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-root/how-to-root-nexus-s-or-nexus-s-4g-on-ics-or-gingerbread/ and then i installed rom manager free from market and i tried flashing cwm recovery inside rom manager.
But rom manager was fc and i decided to google it to find an other way to install cwm recovery.
Then i found this guide nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-force-your-nexus-s-into-clockworkmod-recovery/ and i followed this exactly, hoping that it could be easy to flash the new 4.0.3 rom again.
When i try to open bootloader mode and select recovery a sparking android is showing up an then only the lights from the touch keys are glowing.!
When i press either (Vol- and Power) or Power Clockwork Mod recovery shows up and when i try to install zip from sd it shows status 7 installation aborted. I searched forums that proposed to wipe all data and dalwik data.
I did all these and also status7 shows up every time i try to flash a rom.
I ask for your help!!!
updated your cwm recovery to 5.x.x.x. and dont expect help or no one will help, ask for help instead.
you are right i wrote by mistake.

I suggest you to download the stock gingerbread for your model from Rom Manager and install it as update.zip. That will unroot your phone. So root it again and try flashing new roms (cm9 or ICS). You should flash kernel after flashing the rom.

hi
i have a optimus 3d p920 on orange (uk) (just unlocked to any network)
android version- Gingerbread 2.3.5
software version- V20d june 2012
everytime i try and put a rom on, the phone goes into boot loop (lg logo then unlit black screen)
i root using megatron
install ROM manager
install clockwork recovery 6.0.1
I download zip
plug in phone
cody zip to sd card but NOT external sd card (filemanager shows it as /mnt/sdcard)
go on ROM manager
click on boot in recovery
already done back up of original rom saved on sd card clockworkmodrecovery file
i wipe data/format
i wipe cache partition
then go i go into advance then wipe cache dev
then i go back on to menu
click on install rom from sdcard
find the zip then click yes to install
says its installed then i click reboot and then it becomes stuck
sometimes it would install CM10 or PACMAN (after turning it on and off for a while) then after about 5 mins would reboot its self and get stuck again
so i will then unplug battery, hold Vol up connect usb and open up lg support tool and then recover as carnt get into cwm recovery and install backup from sd card.
i have noticed in the mount/format tab that only the /data is mounted and not (as follows)
/external sd card
/sdcard
/system
/emmc
as they have mount next to them...
its driving me mental
so please help

Thank you I got the same result when trying your last rom version 6.
But il try this using TeamWin recovery not cwm and defo not ROM Manager (is it a common problem with ROM Manager)
Thank you
I flashed v28b.bin and the .fls through smartflash tool and il installed and then went into twrp recovery to install the ROM after.
I wiped everything and installed the rom rebooted all installed but now i dont have any network or imei.
Baseband now says omap4430/xmm6260 but no service only wifi.
Also the device kept on rebooting after a while to lg boot screen then the
Screen would go dodgy before reloading back to o.s.
So i restored just the v28b but still no network.
Iv just read i should have hardboot after flashing v28b and before install the rom (would that have caused the problems)

If you are on gingerbread or lower, download SGS Kernel Flasher free from Play Store. The CWM Synthesis 1.2 Ghz link is working and this is the one I always use! Select flash zip and let it flash for about 20 minutes and that's it! U must have over 80% battery or you're dead
If still not working, try Odin back to stock with root from this link: U must have Samsung drivers installed on PC first.

No! If you're on stock gb with root, sgs kernel flasher from Play Store basically flashes the clockwork mod (cwm) aka gb recovery on your infuse to allow flashing of roms via recovery! So no need for any additional steps if you have a stock gb infuse 4g with root
