Hello,
This is my first post here so go easy
I am trying to install [ROM][ICS 4.0.4]Genesis - Stable Build1 - CM9/AOKP Hybrid on LG P999 with no success. I rooted using super one click and made a backup. I flashed 5.0.2.0 to the device and tried loading Mr. Apocalypse's build following every instruction to the letter. The install appears to work fine allowing me to choose options and I get to the reboot prompt fine. I answered the baseband question and opted for the harsh kernel.
After reboot I get the white LG logo then the display dims and there are light leaks of varying degree but nothing after that. I waited about 45 minutes the first time and have waited up to an hour with nothing. I have tried [ROM][CM9][JUL13-Build80] Domination with similar results. I get to the reaper kernel image after reboot and that's as far as it goes. I followed all the instructions to the letter and I have no idea what is wrong.
Anyone that has a suggestion, other than buying a better phone, please let me know. Is there another method I can try?
Thanks in advance.
With Genesis, install it with the stock kernel, then after the first boot load harsh separately. Some phones get a boot loop with harsh in Aroma

I will give that a go, thank you very much for the advice. I will check in to let you know how it turned out.
Also, how did you flash CWM? If the answer is anything other than "NVflash" stop what you're doing and search in the dev section for NVflash

Yes, I used the command prompt on my PC to load the NVFlash image. From what I have learned reading that is the only way it will work correctly.
It is currently loading after the initial reboot and at the LG logo with the blue streak, which is encouraging.

Ok, that is good that you used nvflash to get CWM on your phone, that definitely wasn't the problem. Like he said earlier, could've been the kernel.

Still on the LG splash with blue, I am now considering dancing around the device wearing a tinfoil hat and a chickenfoot necklace... It would be incredibly cool if there was a way to pull a logfile after install or see one while the install is happening.
How long should this normally take? Almost 1 hr now..

Hahahaha, I almost laughed out loud at that. Umm, have you tried just a basic rom, like CM7? Just to compare if it works or something to see if it'll flash correctly and not your phone, and it might be a bad download for genesis. Just to be sure, it is indeed a P999?

I have a GB 2.3.3 on it now that loaded no problem. I tried that two days ago after several failed attempts. I am thinking its something here though because I couldn't get the ICS Domination ROM to work on it either. The GB ROM worked great after I flashed a new baseband to it. I had the static problem before that. It just doesn't want to cooperate with ICS. And the SD card is empty as well, I wanted to make sure there was enough room for a swap file.
I pulled the battery and it boots to the second LG logo and that's where it stays. I suppose both of the ROMs I tried could have been bad downloads, but idk., this has me flummoxed beyond belief. - and yes, it is a P999 (G2x) I bought about a year ago at a t-mobile store. I think it's time for a burial at sea for this thing!
There's always a fix. Possibly a bad download. You could try another CWM, the touch one, because I know a kernel doesn't flash on the touch one, but possibly those roms might flash on a touch recovery. Idk, I'm just babbling here.

Naw, not babble... I call it thinking with the keyboard still in gear. I will try the touch CWM idea, and keep plugging away. There IS a fix, I just haven't tripped over it yet. Thanks again!

Thanks again, and I will not give up on this, I am way more stubborn than that. I just flashed CWM v5.8.1.3 and restoring. I am going to try to load yet another variation of ICS and report the outcome. If nothing else, I do like this touch image I just loaded!
Have you tried doing a wipe before installing a rom? I've had times where known good roms won't boot just because I didn't wipe before installing it. If your gonna give this method a go try using this to wipe it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1854850
Success!
Thanks for all the advice, you guys rock!
I flashed the CWM touch and downloaded AOPK Milestone 6 4.0.4 just to see if it would load. I did the same procedure as I have with all the others and it worked. I guess it was the CWM version? IDK, Going to try to go back to Genesis tomorrow. Thanks again to each of you for all of your help and advice.
Good deal. I've been using CWM touch ever since it showed up in the forums for our phone, and I've never had a problem flashing anything

3G - 4G troubles?
I like it so far, much better than the older version I was using. I noticed this morning that I don't get any signal other than wifi. It looks like some people that did not opt for wifi were able to get signal after reinstalling with that option chosen. I did add the wifi initially, but no signal at all for data thus far. I didn't see any settings that I missed, the battery saver data stuff is unchecked and there aren't any others I could find. I am going to reinstall and hope it takes care of it.
A quick wipe and reload fixed it! :good:
I have an issue when I flash any Aosp rom. After initial install I have strong 4G but if I reboot phone for any reason I lose all data. My imei is there and phone number is there. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong.

sounds like your on the fringe of strong lte coverage...the latest ril commits were suppose to help this. might try the latest pa or aokp build.
I'm on liquid rc5 right now and data is excellent. I haven't tried a reboot though. I'm wondering if it might make a difference if I reboot through recovery. Just a thought, maybe I'm just grabbing at straws, but this issue makes roms like paranoid kinda useless. Thanks for the reply.

i have been using paranoid since 2.13 and its been flawless when im in strong lte...never rebooted and lost data. if you toggle airplane mode on/off it wont come back?
Not sure, but I've never tried. I'm kinda new to this as this is my first rooted device, and im kinda learning as I go. I was on beans 13, then 14, but i can't resist trying out all these jb builds. I will give the airplane mode toggle a try. Thanks

I have the same issue with the new builds of JB ROMs. I do a clean wipe of everything and I flash the ROM, but when it boots in the beginning, I can sign into my gmail with data (even when I'm connected) and I have to use WiFi. Then when everything boots, I have no data and still connected to data (showing 3g) I do a reboot and it works for awhile and it goes out again. So I just went back to Beans14

I'm on liquid rc5 right now and everything seems to be working. But if I were to reboot my phone will not connect to data. The 4G icon pops up but never turns blue, and if I try Google Now or something else that requires a data it says no Internet connection. I have to be doing something wrong.?

Maybe shut the phone off, remove sim card, and turn on without the sim card then shut phone off and put sim card back and turn phone back on. That might help.

It has worked for me on 2 GS3's. I was on stock TW though, I don't know if that'll make a difference.. it has something to do with updating your PRL or something like that, I can't really remember exactly what it updates. But it did work for me, it actually gave me better service.

Yes it has the other day after flashing liquid I was only getting 4g did that and it worked.

Ok cool ill give it a shot. I'm really hoping that it works. Because some of these pa builds are really nice, and I'd probably use liquid rc5 as a daily if I could reboot my phone and have a data come to back.

Hey man thanks. That actually worked, I'm not sure if my service is better but it came back after I shut down and did that procedure. I appreciate the help. I might actually be able to run one of those pa. Builds now.

i tried the same method as well too, but it didnt work for me. i dont know whats wrong, i think its just my phone because when i flash any AOSP rom, it doesnt connect to data after reboot. i do 3x wipes and what not but still nothing, my IMEI and phone number is all there so i dont know what it is. anyone have a idea??
So I'm running synergy latest release but I'm wanting to go back to liquid smooth I've seen multiple threads about data loss and what to do but I can't seem to locate anything regarding the fix. If anyone doesn't mind helping me out before I dive straight into the deep end I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks.

Just make sure you have the latest CWM or TWRP and if you notice data loss, do this step from the CM thread. Lastly, if you have a network extender, know that only the ICS modems will treat your network extender like "normal" whereas each JB modem will mark you as roaming for your signal.
Thanks for the quick response ill make sure everything is updated recovery wise before I flash

Is there any benefits to 4.2.1
I always like the speed of AOSP and look, and 4.2 is just the latest build of AOSP.

I just wanted to post my experience today with switching roms and i hope this will teach others who see this to read and read and read. I finally got the rom booted and running but boy did i have a heck of a time doing it. I flashed fine but got stuck in a bootloop so i wiped again and flashed still same result stuck well at this point i go back to twrp which i thought was the latest updated turns out it wasn't ( me not paying attention to the file i download great ) now my recovery doesn't show any files just a 0 ( took me so long to figure out this 0 ) and i thought i had wiped my sd card ( that was fun walking around work with my phone held in the air yelling to the gods for doing this to me ) then i sat down and read about the multi-user and the /0 i flashed the rom twice so it took all of my files and placed them in the sdcard/0/0. ive got everything fixed and happy to say still loving liquid smooth. I hope this will help the next person.
Well, at least you learned a valuable lesson AND researched until you found a solution.

I was hoping anyone here could relate to the problem my brother and I are having with pretty much all AOSP ROMs. Every time we install an AOSP ROM after even completely wiping everything except ext SD, after about an hour of run time to smoothness of the ROM goes away. The pull down is all choppy as well as scrolling the home screens. A reboot fixes it temporarily for around a minute or so and it goes back. We did find one AOSP nightly from the 15th that remained smooth but that was it.
If anyone has any ideas what could be causing this I would be eternally thankful. We have searched up and down and can't believe no one else is complaining of this. This is happening on both of our devices where pretty much the only similarity is that we use TWRP and update it regularly.
Thanks again for any advice you can provide.

I've had this same exact problem. I believe you meant the AOKP build from the 15th as that was the one that has remained smooth (but had some other bugs) for me. Seems like nobody else is having this problem.

The reason people aren't complaining is because they haven't had that problem yet. The only thing I can tell you is when flashing ROMs make sure you completely wipe 2-3 times as for some reason with TWRP you have to do that to get some ROMs to work.

Yes I wipe 3x and then use zips that wipe again.
then you guys might have to switch CWM recovery as I flashed most of the AOSP ROMs with no problems.

You really don't have any stuttering whatsoever with AOSP roms? Hmm.
I would think though if it was TWRP wouldn't a lot more people be having this problem? I will try CWM though.
Just wanted to update the thread. We have tried switching recoveries to CWM, also tried running the rom with absolutely nothing but Gapps. Same result after a few hours. This is on two completely separate devices, we can't be the only ones. Any additional advice would be really appreciated. This is driving us crazy!
I get pretty bad lag on carbon rom, flashing with CWM. Any other aosp rom runs fine but carbon seems to not like my phone
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Carbon was the worst so far for me as well.
That goes with the fact not everyone will have the same results when flashing ROMs.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem? I have tried everything I know but with no success. I even flashed back to stock MF1 via Odin but still roaming on stock rom...please help

Check to see if you've lost your imei/eri. Your imei should be the number under your battery and your eri should be 5. If they aren't that then you need to restore them if you haven't backed them up.

You may have to Odin all the way back and reprovision your phone. I haven't done it but I may because right now my Google play only works on a few roms and its bugging the mess out of me. My S3 was rooted and unlocked when I got it so I've never had to Odin before but I'm so sick of Google play store no connection on certain roms.

I guess I'm not the only one with this problem. I posted yesterday with same problem.
Questions: (trying to trouble shoot)
1 - which version of CarbonRom were you guys running?
2 - and which Recovery were you using? If TWRP, did you happen to update to 2.6.3.0 recently?
What happened to me: running carbonrom 20130913. Updated to twrp 2.6.3.0 (from 2600) >> boinked voice, but my data and text works.
What did not work: nandroid all my backups (synergy, beanstown, cleanrom) = did not solve problem. clean wipe/format and re-install (cleanrom/synergy) = no dice.
What worked:
1 - Odin back to stock (unroot, locked the bootloader) -- refer to the first thread in this forum for how-to.
2 - Took all of the OTA updates by verizon all the way to most recent update (I think 5 total, plus or minus...).
3 - Go to your phone's setting and do a factory reset.
4 - ...this, thankfully, fixed the problem.
Notes: After my first bork and restore. I rooted and unlocked again. Updated twrp to 2.6.3.0 again, and reinstalled CarbonRom 20130911 (which worked fine for me before) --> same problem again.
...I just restored my phone for 2nd time using method above. Tedious as heck, but it worked.
...not sure if this is CarbonRom or TWRP related.....
I am having this same issue as well after attempting to flash Carbon Rom. Did the method listed above resolve the issue for anyone?
...played around some more -- and borked it a few more times....
it's not the TWRP 2.6.3.0. It's the carbonrom 4.3 JB --> issue being discussed in the carbonrom thread as well
I reverted back to carbon rom 4.2.2 and no problems
I gave up and called in the heavies. Got a new phone on the way. Thanks for all help. Will definitely fix this problem the next time it arises using this info though..:laugh:

Next time you should really try to troubleshoot. If you call in a warranty replacement every time something you flash borks something on your phone, then they're gonna start to wonder what the hell you're doing. Plus, it's good to have some kind of experience and the ability to fix your phone if needed.
I have fixed my phone many times where I have messed it up. This time unfortunately I didn't have the patience. But I will take heed to your advice and work harder to find the solution.

There's always a fix as long as you can get into download mode or recovery. I had lost my imei flashing Carbon 4.3. All I had to do was restore my imei flashing the zip that the synergy backup made and bam I could make and receive calls again. But that was after I switched Roms. Probably ROM related becuasr I am using TWRP 2.5.

Just my opinion and .02. If you don't know how to restore your phone from this state or to use Odin then you shouldn't be flashing Roms and hacking it.

Not to sound harsh, but I know from experience how easy it can be to miss one little step in flashing or to encounter an unforseen problem. If you hack your phone and flash Roms for very long, the risk of doing this rises because we get so comfortable we make silly, stupid mistakes like missing one step or maybe we accidentally wipe our sd card which has our ROM on it. Also if you flash nightlies the chances go up even further that something will go wrong.
