[Solved] Optimus 3D boots into recovery

Hello,
My friend has an LG Optimus 3D running stock froyo which i rooted for him and installed ClockworkMod Touch Recovery 5.8.1.5. Everything was fine until a notification for an upgrade to gingerbread was available and he clicked install.
Now the phone can only boot into recovery. I tried to restore a previous backup, flash the zip of a froyo rom. But to no avail.
Any idea what might be cause and solution?
Thanks in advance
UPDATE: I connected to adb and gave the command "adb reboot-bootloader" and it still boots into recovery. Is it normal?
UPDATE 1: I tried using the LGMobileUpdate tool to install the update in the hope that it solved the problem, it detects the phone, downloads and extracts the rom, start the update process and then gives a connection error. The error isn't given during the detecting phone phase but when it start to apply the update.

Bump... Please, anyone?

Try flashing an entire ROM. The kernel may be botched.

Thanks for your reply
I have already tried to install through clockworkmod the zip of the stock froyo rom (from the thread of official roms). Nothing changes. Neither restoring a backup from clockworkmod changed anything.
As I remember that the kernel is part of the rom zip, I think the problem is more low level.
Tomorrow I'll try doing this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1244490
Any other suggestions or ideas?
UPDATE: Followed the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540163 and managed to flash the kdz of v21a. Problems solved

How Do I restore Huawei prism to stock recovery image???

Hello...this is my first post!!! I would like to start off by saying this forum rules and I have learned so much from you guys here. I have rooted, installed custom roms, bricked, and restored my sgs4g, galaxy exhibit, and huawei prism. The issue is with the huawei. Its not a bad phone, I was able to root it, install cwm, and flash cm7 to it (with the help of your wonderful forum :good The issue is with charging the phone. When you try to charge it while its shutoff it boots into recovery mode. I saw somewhere that it was the version of cwm I was using and updated to version 5. The same thing still happens with this version and its my teenager's phone so this is kind of a pain. Its backed up, and I realize it can be restored but I saw somewhere in your forum someone suggested to flash the stock recovery image. That would be great but I have had no luck finding this image. I tried flashing the only stock recovery image for huawei I could find, but it would not let me (install aborted). I'm running U8650 cm7, but I believe the phones a U8651 (its a prism). Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated

Can't boot any custom rom

Hey, first time posting something on this forum but to all devs reading this thanks alot for everything you do!
And Thanks to anyone who can help me!
Now my problem is as following,
My stock rom is RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.21.401.10_Radio_1.06s.50.02.27_2_10.08.50.04L__release_271119_signed.exe
I followed this guide to unlock the bootloader and get root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427
I used this recovery "Official CWM of koush (HTC One S)" (both toutch and regular has been tested)
Then i downloaded MIUI at first and flashed that(full wipe), it installed fine so i rebooted.
Once i got passed the htc boot screen everything went black, no boot animation.
After that i tested some more Roms, ParanoidAndroid and AOKP Milestone 6.
The exact same thing happend with and exeption for AOKP where the toch keys turned on.
I also noticed it showed up as a removable device in windows from time to time when plugged in (dont if that helps).
After that i restored my one s to stock and then did all the steps again but that yeilded the same results.
I have no idea what the problem is and im hoping its something that has an easy fix and im just to dumb to see it.
If you need any more info just ask, and again thanks for any help!

Before flashing rom through CWM, did you flash boot.img through fastboot. Every rom comes with a boot.img that must be flashed through fastboot when not using TWRP.

just use twrp and problem solved.
CWM IMO sucks in comparison. Not to mention the level of support with TWRP is so far and above ANYTHING you will get with CWM.

XT926 - not sure how best to proceed

First off, I just switch to my first android phone from iOS, so although I have plenty of experience jailbreaking and unlocking over there, I'm new to this, so hand-holding is appreciated
I have a developer XT926 phone. Fastboot says it's unlocked with status code 1. It came running 4.0.4, and I rooted it using motofail2go. I now want to install CyanogenMod 10.1 (or some other version 4.2 rom that you guys think is better), as described here. However, I have been unable to find detailed instructions on how to install it after booting into recovery mode. (I'm guessing those steps are well-know on xda, but forum and google searches didn't help.)
Additionally, since I have an unlocked dev phone, can I install one of these unsigned roms directly, or will I need to first install clockworkmod, safestrap, etc (and if so, any advice on which one).
Thanks the any help you can give me

You need to install a custom record very like twrp or cwm. Either is fine and you can easily switch later if you want to try them both out. Once you have your custom recovery installed, you'll need to boot into recovery. From there you will v be able to backup your current setup followed by a factory wipe and ROM install. Good luck

Thanks. So I have twrp installed and working, and made a successful backup. I was about to install CW 10.1, when I noticed comments that it seems to have a lot of issues. What rom would you recommend I install? Liquidsmooth? Eclipse? CM 10.1 anyway? Thanks again!

Brother may have messed up my phone!

Hey everyone,
My little brother is trying to learn more things about mobile devices and wanted to have a go at my old piece of junk, stock optimus one p500h. So i let him have a go and now it's not working so here is the problem.
First he rooted it and that worked fine with gingeroot and then proceeded to install romanager which bricked the phone but he was able to recover the phone with a recovery.img and using LGMDP-v1.5 and emergency mode.
After that he installed some android system recovery thing "RA-thunderg-1.2.0-gnn" not sure what the software was originally, regardless he tried flashing from the flash from zip from sdcard and used a cyanogenmod zip which he said worked and then the phone said success and rebooted.
Now the phone just sits at the cyanogenmod loading screen and will not boot.
I am able to get into the recovery menu with home,down and power and emergency mode also works.
Where did he go wrong and what does he need to do in order to get this to work properly? Thanks for your help everyone and sorry if the post is a bit disjointed i'm trying to translate what he's saying into the post xD

If running a Windows PC and the device can boot in to fastboot, you can use Android Flash Recovery ( link in my signature ) to flash another recovery image. There are some more complicated ways using ADB, but well try to avoid them ATM You can also use LGMDP to flash a different recovery image. There are several floating around here at XDA.
As for where he went wrong, I cannot say. Piece of advice, if in doubt - don't do it.
Have you tried booting to recovery and wiping cache and dalvik cache then attempt to boot to Andorid?

thanks for the fast reply, looks like recovery is gone now? I had attempted to clear the cache though. Would you mind giving me a step by step as im unsure of what i need to do now xD not sure what i need downloaded or to do what with what after my brothers done all this haha

Just flash a recovery from LGMDP for your phone.. then download a rom for your phone and wipe everything in recovery and flash the rom
And do not flash stock rom from kdz or lgmdp if you cannot boot your phone. It has high chances of bricking

ok now it's running again and sadly it's giving me an unkown baseband and no service now! I tried flashing to the old legacy baseband for cyanogenmod 7.2 / 2.3.7

Cm7(except a very old one from mik_os), stock gb and up requires new baseband. You can search for baseband fix and install through recovery ( I don't remember if it's old bb fix or new bb fix, try for yourself )
You can also search how to install new bb permanently but it's more difficult and has(I think) chances of bricking your phone
