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
(if posted in wrong section then sorry im new)
(also posted on optimus 3D general forum section just reposted on here just in case no one goes on that section for ages so again sorry if wrong)
Try to use cwm 5 oder twrp 2. I heard that cmw6 sometimes makes trouble.
Iv had cwm5 before and that bricked too. i have even tried cwm touch but no look
even when i click reboot in recovery on ROM Manager it bricks it.
is it a common problem with ROM Manager and p920?

My problem is that i installed boftain ns v1 and now i want to delete and install the original one. Whenever i rebot to recovery my phone gets jammed at the Google sign. Please help. Usually i would connect the phone and odin will recognize it and install the Rom. But this time it want work. Thx
If you can boot into recovery manually (turn off the phone. Hold volume up + power button and select recovery, I assume you have CWM installed)
you can follow these steps:
Select storage -> mount SD
than copy the official android 4.0.3 to your SD (you can find the official rom easily here on XDA)
select unmount SD
Than go to install zip from sd card, chose the zip, chose the stock rom you've downloaded and hit yes. This first boot should be a little bit longer than usual.
You should now be in stock 4.0.3, and should be able to update to 4.0.4 going to the settings of your phone.
If you cant even get to recovery, there is a linux tool to fix a bricked nexus s. find it in the development section I guess
I saw in multiple threads saying to take out the sd card and go to restore and put it back in then delete the PG58IMG file but I did that and my phone is still in a boot loop does anybody know how to fix this ?

Install a ROM based on the new firmware, the old one won't boot unless you reflash old firmware.
I recommend reflashing the old firmware getting messages, contacts, etc onto your memory card.
Then flash 3.32 firmware. Then format all partitions except SD Card from recovery. Then install your ROM.
Im sorry im brand new to all of this I just rooted my phone fine and then I tried doing something and it messed up can you give a step by step on what to do and with details it would be really helpful. Thanks !
To install a new rom based on the 3.32 firmware you download the rom to your computer plug in your device after It's downloaded, your device needs to be debugging on in settings, you will then check run as disk drive instead of charge option, then click on file sharing , go to downloads, share with disk drive e the removable disk drive which is your device.this will copy the rom to the root of your sd card. Unplug. Then go into recovery, wipe data factory reset, wipe cash, wipe dalvick cash, stay in recovery when finished, then install zip from sd card, stay in recovery, reboot. Then you have installed your rom. You want to make sure the firmware matches the rom. Ics Roms or 4.0.3, are 3.32 firmware gb Roms are different firmware. Hope this helps. You have 3.32 firmware so use a Ics rom. (4.0.3). This is how I flash mine. Good luck and hope I helped.

Steps 1 (method 2) & 4 from here.
The file required for 4: http://www64.zippyshare.com/v/66813266/file.html
Now, once done, pull out the battery from the phone. Remove the SD Card. Reinsert the battery.
Boot to bootloader by holding Volume down & Power button.
Next, select Recovery option. It will take some time to boot without the SD Card.
You will then see a menu. Don't switch off the phone but just insert the SD Card.
Select mounts|storage > mount /sdcard
Go back to the previous menu.
Select Toggle USB Storage.
Your SD Card can now be accessed from the computer. Delete the PG58IMG.zip from SD Card
Copy the ROM of your choice & put it on the SD Card.
Once done, select Disconnect (on the phone)
Select wipe|format >Format all partitions except SD Card.
Once done, go back.
Select Install zip from SD Card. Select your ROM zip file & install.
Once done, reboot.

Did you bother to read the guide?
Connect USB in bootloader (fastboot USB), fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, fastboot reboot-bootloader
I'm not going to answer any more questions.
Whatever you need has already been linked to you.
Thank you so much, do you have any tips on what I should do next ?
So i installed CM9 on my transformer and everything was ok. Eventually it turned off for some reason and kept getting stuck in a boot loop. I wiped everything using CWM 5.8.3.4 but now my tablet is stuck in CWM with no ROM to load. I cant mount my ex SD card and i cant mount my internal storage either. What do i do to fix it?

Do you have ADB access - i.e. is it visible on the PC? If not, first try cold reboot (Power + Vol-down for 12 seconds, then wait) undocked from keyboard and with USB disconnected.Connect to PC via USB and reboot to try to get ADB. If you still don't have ADB I'm sorry I don't know how to help.
If you have ADB, try this - it works on my TF101G. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1681155 and download PERI-0.4 One click root+recovery V0.4. Install it on your PC, run the .BAT file and follow the instructions. That should hopefully give you Root and Rogue Custom recovery that allows you to flash from internal or external SD.
From here you can flash a custom ROM from either internal or external storage. I've found that this Recovery won't flash the Asus stock ROM though,
If you want a version of CWM Recovery that will flash from internal or external storage, now download ClockWorkMod Recovery v6.0.1.4 NoTouch Hybrid from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1855686 - click the Download link and get the cwm-6.0.1.4-notouch-hybrid.zip file (apparently the Touch version is currently broken). Copy to internal or external SD, reboot to recovery (Power+Vol-down for 12 secs, then Vol-up), wipe caches and flash CWM Recovery.
When you next reboot to Recovery, you should have a version of CWM that allows you to flash from internal or external SD.
There are other links you could have a look at too, e.g.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1681155
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1688012
Hope you do manage to get it unbricked again.

Hi I'm a little bit confused and lost between stock recovery, cwm, rom manager and my new SD card.
I browsed 100s of threads and watch alot of good and some not so good videos but 'im still not sure what my best next moves are and why some things dont work.
I have a
Sansung GT i9300
Anroid 4.1.2
Baseband I900XXEMC2
Kernel 3.0.31-1032335 [email protected]#1SMP PEEMPT Mon March11 ..KST 2013
Build JZO54K.I9300XXEMC2
I wanted to use apps like Titanium BackUpPro and Avast so I rooted my phone flashing CWM v3.55 via Odin and have been using it with out any problems for a while.
Then I decided that I would like to flash a custom rom like cm and I downloaded Rom Manager thinking it to be the right tool... ?
I let Rom Manager flash the latest version of CWM recovery 6.0.4.6 ...
but when I look on the apps on my phone I find CWM v3.55-Chainfire ? and
if I try to update I get directed to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238
When booting in rcovery mode my phone enters the android system recovery e3 and I get an Error message:
E:faild to mount /data (invalid agrument)
What exactly does this mean ???
Should I try flashing CWM 6 non toutch via Odin or flash back stock ROM?
I thought I would try backing up to an ext SD card so I orderd a SanDisc mircosd 64GB card but the problem still remains.
I still cant back up my ROM using ROM Manager or CWM
Why ? What happend?
I tried formating the SD card with ROM Magager but SD card fails to load. I tried formating with gparted fat32. Still wont load...
The ext SD card shows up in the file exlporer on my phone just fine but
I can't seem to be able to get Rom Manager to recognize it and CWM recovery isn't working.
So instead of backin up my exsiting ROM to the SD card maybe it would be a better idea to install CWM and CM to the SD card
and keep my ROM on the internal SD as it is???
I tried creating a bootable ext sd card with CWM and CM like here:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_acclaim
but when it comes to booting the phone in recovery mode I still get the E:faild to mount /data (invalid agrument) message....?
How do I boot from ext sd card?
Whats my next best move?
I have a working rooted ROM on my local SD card with all my apps backed up in clowd. But my recovery mode issue remains to be resolved.
and I have a 64GB ext SD card with CWM and CM on it but I can't install with Rom Manager? because SD card fails to load.
Thanks for trying to follow so far!!!!

First option:
1- Download Philz recovery from: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9300/philz_touch_6.07.9-i9300.tar.md5
and flash it with odin 3.07or newer
2- Downlad SuperSu root from: http://vk.com/doc167892454_171297436?hash=877f29ccdb4e944a70&dl=28aabb49a7217e1962, copy to your device, go to recovery mode and do 'install zip from...'
Second option:
1- Download CF-Auto Root from http://download.chainfire.eu/229/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300.zip, extract and flash it with odin (that should enable root permissions in your device).
2- Download CWM Manager from PlayStore and do a flash, or better- flash the Philz recovery as above (you don't neet the root file)
Follow the Odin packages instructions...?

Easy way to flash CWM or Touch wiz is to download EZ-Recovery from the play store, open the app scroll to recovery, click recovery and choose which one you want and click flash. Done. I personally like TW.

I have a THOMSON MID 1002 tablet. I flashed the stock ROM successfully twice a long ago. Now, I've faced the following problem all of a sudden-
1. Whenever I shut it down, it restarts and resets the device; never shuts down.
2. The internal storage and internal SD shows 0.0B (I have 1GB internal storage,16GB internal SD, external SD not inserted)
3. No app can be installed (maybe due to internal storage being 0B)
I cant install the stock ROM anymore, it now says , cant wipe data,cant wipe media,cant wipe cache.I found that there's a stock recovery manager named "reboot manager" which has the option- Hot Reboot,Reboot recovery,Reboot bootloader,power Off.
Pls see the attached image for my storage settings and the picture of what I get during installing stock ROM (vendor's official firmware) -
I m very new in installing n flashing, should I install a custom recovery (CWM) and custom ROM? Pls help me someone. U can check the tablet by googling - Thomson MID1002
