Hey guys, unfortunately my first post here will be under messy circumstances but I've managed to mess my phone up pretty bad.
I have an AT&T HTC One X. I'm running on Windows 7 64bit, all drivers updated, permissions set, etc. etc.
I was supposed to be flashing Cyanogenmod 10 when I ran into an error in that was in the actual zip file. Prior to installing TWRP I had Clockwork mod installed. I flashed TWRP onto my phone & have been using that since.
My noob hiccup was instead of deleting just the zip file I managed to wipe the entire sd card, backups included (I'm an idiot, I know).
Now I don't have an os and cannot run in debugging mode in order to get adb to function properly. When I adb I cannot access /system/ nor /sdcard/. I can only access /data/ & of course installing CM10 through that directory has resulted in more fails.
Please tell me there's a way to salvage this. Thanks in advance...

Stick to ROMs in this specific (AT&T One X) forum, and you won't go wrong again (at least not in that way).
Or check out my Index thread to see the ROMs in an organized list: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
As Soon as Build #8 by derefas was updated i test that build and update the complete guide-->I'm also testing APEX-Sense rom,BulletproofFX so,i also add the guide for that...So, stay tuned
After development goes on sense base ROM's I see that most of people face problem regarding BOOT-LOOPS and confusion on some steps how to do that... .So,this post for those who get boot-loops and facing problem at the installation time...
(1) First to install sense 4 build #6 we need SD-ext partition.as deferas mention we need minimum 1 GB SD-ext(ext 4-->most preferable).
(2) To make partition i often use" Mini tool Partition Wizard" but what i figure out that partition make through Minitool is not recognized in TWRP recovery for me so what i do is as following....
(3) MOST RECOMMENDED--> First do a complete backup of your SD-card somewhere in your computer. OK now all set..we move step further..
(4) Now reboot in to recovery...for general i use application Rebooter (fast reboot){that is available free of cost on play store} through this you can simply directly reboot into recovery and for other cases we all know our default way to reboot in to recovery....
(5) After entering into recovery--> Advance settings --> Partitioned SD card --> now here REMEMBER one thing when we partition memory card through recovery it will fully format/delete all your data of SD card that's why i mention STEP-3 ---> select partition size 1024 Mb and swap size 0 and click ext 4 button for file system of SD-ext to set as ext 4....then enter(swipe for partition)...it will take 2-5 minutes...now you have created partition of ext 4 1024 Mb (1 GB)...now reboot once recovery...
(6) Mount your SD card through mount option and mount as USB storage...put your desire build zip file in the root of the folder....and unmount it...
(7) Now RECOMMENDED--> don't use super wipe for wiping all things..do it manually...---->CAREFULLY don't wipe External storage(SD-card) now one by one wipe all this things --> wipe CACHE/Dalvik Cache then SYSTEM then DATA then FACTORY RESET and last SD_EXT and .ANDROID SECURE...after this all steps you have complete clean device...
(8) Before install we need to figured out what need to mount or not...this is only for sense base ROMs
Case-1) Sense 4.0 build 1/2/3 --> mount cache and SD-ext
Case-2) Sense 4.0 build 4/5/6 --> no need to mount anything..(it will be automatically mounted at installation time...)REMEMBER-->don't unmount external storage(SD-card) it is by default check marked leave it as it is...
(9) Select install zip from SD card....choose file...
(10) After installation it will booted after start up tone leave it for 3-5 minute for stable device---> now unlock ring "There is possibility for after first time booting it will reboot 1/2/3 times because it is make work on script link your data to SD-ext and loading other stuffs....so be patient...don't be panic....
(11) Enjoy your little lucky Pico...
I assure that after following this detail guide you have successfully install your Sense 4.0...thank you for reading this guide...

Sd card extensions often cause a lot of problems when not done right. My advice, if you can live without Sense, get CM9.1 build #9. Enough internal memory for a lot of apps when all installed apps are moved to the sd card using titanium backup. Really smooth ics rom great for daily use and with almost no bugs.

Re: COMPLETE GUIDE ON INSTALLATION OF SENSE 4.0 ROMs
I don't know why you guys facing this problems like freeze at HTC beats audio,processing....I think something is going wrong....currently I have no solution I'm working on it....but till that contact and PM deferas your problems.....
Suggestion--> for frezzing issues guys after first booting if it freeze leave it as till 15 minute because it may be link your sd-ext with system.....successfully complete booting varies due to your memory partition sectors....if your memory card have some bad memory sector then also this happened.....

As far as jaggy rom 5 is concerned i have also tried it but after enabling m2sdui phone doesnot boot it hangs at htc logo
so i think it would be better to add init.d and ext support in stock kernel rather than trying custom roms

I think you didn't follow the steps given in the instructions in the rom thread correctly.
You need to give root permissions first,then click on configure busybox in the menu that pops up,then click on configure script,go back and click configure and there,select remount and data.do not select dalvik cache and applications.click on journal and choose automatic and do the same for cache.Finally,click on sd-ext type and choose it.
reboot and wait for about 10 mins(though it takes a lil less than 10 mins).

what recovery u r using???
Hey XDA ! =D
I'm still interested in installing Cyanogenmod 10 on my LG Optimus One P500h, but I want to make sure I follow the steps properly first - this is my first time installing a custom ROM, and when I heard it was possible to install Android 4.0 on the P500h, I performed a backup from ROM Manager, and I "bricked" my device a few days ago. XD
I wouldn't want this to happen again, but at least, I must say I have more experience now, and learned a lesson.
Did many searches on how to install CWM with Cyanogenmod 10, I found many different ways to do it, and I'm still unsure of which procedure follow.
Read the FAQ and that was really helpful.
I will list the procedure that I would normally try - please correct me if I forget anything:
0. Root the device
Done that already. I'm on Android 2.3. When I flashed the KDZ on my LG (and so to my surprise, got me updated from 2.2 to 2.3.3) , I've used V20A_00.KDZ, so I *assume* this is the second baseband.
1. Compact/Trim Cyanogenmod ROM
Downloaded CM10 here. This look correct: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1811325
January 8: Build 7/Final
I chose C10 over C11 because more things are compatible I believe - was it Bluetooth that did not worked under C11, but does on C10 ?
Anyways, that solve a known problem: many users said they loose network after the ROM installation. Shinobisoft confirmed it was because of the lack of space on the System partition, right ? Compacting the ROM would also fix problems for installing Link2SD ?
I've downloaded the tool "OOne ROM Editor" and opened it - it doesn't look complicated at all. What apps are safe to delete ? Will converting them to "user app" save space for system apps (I'm not sure - Where are the apps stored when defined as "User"? SD card rather than /System ?) ? Can I delete fonts without problems (I don't see why I can't keep ONLY 3-4 fonts, not 10) ? Then how much space will be left on the device ?
Read I cannot delete LatinIME.apk. Is this the default keyboard? 20MB is huge, there's no way to compact this file, right ?
Assuming there's like 10MB free, network will work, but I will have no choice but to use Link2SD to install apps fully on SD card, is this correct ?
2. Baseband stuff
Ehm, what are we referring to as "baseband" in first place?
All ROMs starting with CM7 are new baseband. If your device had Android 2.2 prior to flashing, you are on old-baseband. There is a patch for that also in the LG Optimus One FAQ on the first page, not sure which post off the top of my head tho. If your device had Android 2.3 on it then you have a new baseband device which shouldn't require any patches.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Allright, this should make this a lot easier - as I said, I originally was on Android 2.2, when I bricked the phone, I flashed "V20A_00" throught KDZ Updated, then I rebooted as 2.3.3, so I shouldn't do anything, right ?
In "About Phone", it's listed "Software Version: LG-P500h-v20a".
3. Install ClockworkMod Recovery
This look like the tricky part.
A lot of people on other sites said to use ROM Manager...
shinobisoft said:
First, serious word of advice. Stay away from ROM Manager. It does not handle this device correctly.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ROM Manager's way of flashing recovery is broken by design. Do NOT use it unless you are comfortable with rescuing your phone via ADB/fastboot like many people before.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, ROM Manager is completely broken in this regard. It needs to download a signed ZIP and discard it and report an error when verification fails. Heck, ZIP format has even its own CRC check. What ROM Manager is doing (download whatever .IMG and flash it no matter what) is a nice WTF! Broken by design, go rewrite from scratch!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I don't trust the use of ROM Manager anymore on my device, and I'm not comfortable with using it again. I actually wonder: When I press VolumeUp-Home-Power, the phone perform a factory reset (Many people asked already why. This apparently mean that CWM is not installed).
But is it really installed? ROM Manager actually says: "Actual Recovery: ClockworkMod Recover 5.0.2.0". What? Am I supposed to press VolumeUp-Home-Power to verify, only to do another factory reset?
So what would the non-ROM-Manager method be ? I found this one here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146566
I know about the Android Terminal Emulator already, and as a Linux user on PC, the commands "su", "cat", "chmod", "mount" are not unknow to me. I should be able to do this... That's not risky ?
So when CWM will be installed, I should be able to boot in it using "VolumeUp-Home-Power"; in theory, this is a bootloader, so if the ROM get screwed up, I *should* be able to access the bootloader to restore the ROM (I compare this to a PC BIOS - the OS is screwed, but BIOS remain accesible) ?
How could I explain that when I bricked my device with ROM Manager, I couldn't perform a factory reset, and only had access to Emergency Mode (I assume there is not such thing as a "Recovery Mode" on a P500h stock, new/untouched. The equivalent immediatly perform a factory reset) ?
All Android devices have a recovery partition. This is essentially a section of the device’s memory devoted to a very basic recovery system that is separate from the normal operating system. This is normally used by manufacturers for recovering a broken device (as even if the operating system crashes, the recovery image has a chance of still being access and used to reflash the operating system, etc.).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
By default, the LG P500h recovery partition perform an immediate factory reset - CWM will be installed here, so I should be able to access it if the ROM freak out. But why couldn't I access the factory reset, when I bricked the device? That's what I wonder.
4. Access CWM and do a Nandroid Backup to SD Card
I will now have the files boot, cache, data, recovery and system, as well as"nandroid.md5" on SD card.
5. Wipe everything, clean SD Card
Perform "Wipe data/factory reset". This will format the /data, /cache, /sdext, and .android_secure
Select the "Advanced" option and on the next screen select "Wipe Dalvik Cache". Confirm the wipe.
Not necessary but I do it anyway, in the "Advanced" screen select "Wipe battery stats" and the confirm that wipe
For a clean installation I recommend formatting the system partition too. From CWM home screen select "mounts and storage". On the next screen select "format /system" and then confirm the format.
Press the back button until you are back in the CWM home screen. Select "Install zip from sdcard" and then select "Choose zip from sdcard". Browse your sdcard for the ROM to install and select it. Confirm the installation. Now wait for the install to finish.
Go back to CWM's home screen. Select "reboot system now" option and let the device boot. The initial boot will take a couple of minutes. Don't panic.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6. Partition SD card (?)
Is this at that point that I should do it, in CWM ? Or wait until I access Cyanogenmod and use a software on PC to partition ?
Assuming I don't partition, I guess I definitely will lack space for applications (Due to the space of Android 4.0) ?
I will do "Partition SD Card>EXT4 1024MB>Swap:64MB. Is this correct?
7. Install Cyanogenmod
Install ZIP from SD Card, choose the CM ZIP;
8. Install Google Apps
Once the install is done, I won't reboot and immediately install Google Apps, with "Install ZIP from SD card". I chose this package (Working on JellyBean):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917411
Then I should reboot in CyanogenMod and finally install Link2SD, I believe.
***
..Did I forgot anything ?
I *believe* that makes sense, but this is my first time installing a ROM - I doesn't look *that* hard, I did researches, but things can go wrong... :/
What should I do if I screw things up? Use KDZ Updater again ?
I'm still a little worried about that baseband thing, and the lost network connection.
Thanks for the input, cheers!
1) Use FlashImageGUI app to flash recovery/or use Recovery.IMG flasher by @shinobisoft
2) Forget the baseband stuff
3) Factory reset is the default action when you boot into stock recovery
4) If you partition SD card your data will be wiped anyway

1) I've checked FlashImage GUI, it look really simple to use. This is what I see now:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/67605655/snap20140216_103936.png
For flashing a recovery image, should I select Clear Dalvik & Clear Cache ? Do I have to enable USB Debugging?
Where can I find the recovery image for CWM ? Here maybe: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523050
I don't know, I would download CWM v5.0.2.7_Touch_p500-Build 4.zip.
Would the terminal emulator method would be easier (I still need to find recovery.img)?
Code:
$ su
# mount -o remount rw /system
# cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/xbin/flash_image
# chmod 755 /system/xbin/flash_image
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
# mount -o remount ro /system
# reboot recovery
Since I have no Nandroid backup (I cannot do it until CWM is installed), what could I do if something goes wrong ?
2-3) Excellent, thank you.
4) I plan on partitionning, but at which point shoud I preferably do it?
Thank you, I appreciate the help - sorry for all the newbie questions.
1) Recovery image is in the zip fie itself. Extract it
The terminal method you're telling is just what FlashImage GUI does (notice the word 'GUI' )
2) Partition it whenever you want. Just backup your stuff before doing it.
3) As much I hate to say, the thanks button is there for a reason

Ok, so I've downloaded ClockworkMod_5.0.2.0_Recovery_ThunderG_Official here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523050
Extracted the ZIP and put the file recovery.img at the root of the SD Card (USB storage); so now all I have to do would be to start FlashImage GUI, select "Recovery Image", browse and choose the file recovery.img, then flash (I won't select Clear Dalvik & Clear Cache unless I have to (It's not selected by default, so I assume it's not require - although I've backed up my stuff already).
It's that simple?
I'm still in a learning stage, I bricked the device once with ROM Manager, so if that work, I should be more confident for the rest (I will take a Nandroid backup). Thanks for all the great explanations - Will press the thanks button soon
(How much thanks can I give per thread?)

Don't worry you won't brick it.
(Talking from my experience of completely hard bricking aka dead booting my device due to kdz)
Just flash it.

Allright, I got it!
I saw the success message, then used the keys to reboot in recovery, that worked!
At the boot, I can read "ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0 E: Bad boot message "recovery ".
I believe the "E: Bad boot message "recovery " is a known issue, and but is not a problem - please let me know if I have to do anything about this.
So now I will compact the Cyanogenmod ROM (I don't know how much space I should free, but I'll try to free a decent ammount), and perform a Nandroid backup to SD card.
I believe the hardest/scariest is done. From now, if the ROM install fail, I could just restore the backup, I guess.
Are they any case when CWM is unaccessible (When I bricked my device, I had no access to stock recovery (which only perform factory reset) but just Emergency Mode. Why was that?) ?
Thank you, I will let you know about the rest.
(Will press the thanks button at the end I don't know if it's OK to thanks on multiple posts on one thread, on this forum)
EDIT:
That error message means you dont have SD-ext. Ignore it.

EDIT 2: Nandroid backup succesfully taken! I now have the files .android_secure.vfat.tar, boot.img, cache.yaffs2.img, data.yaffs2.img, nandroid.md5, recovery.img and system.yaffs2.img. Will backup these on my PC.
It's OK to thanks on multiple post.You just have a limit of 8 thanks per day.
ROM manager made anything inaccessible except emergency mode or fast boot mode for some people.
(When I flashed my Oone with CWM, ROM manager worked like a charm)
You can flash the ROM now

I appreciate the information;
It's quite akwards that ROM Manager broke everything (And I asked for a BACKUP - that's so broken, it brick the device when you want to BACKUP <__<) - when it rebooted, it was in Fastboot mode, and I never saw that mode before. Tried a few recommended commands without problems, but when I rebooted, I only had access to Emergency Mode.
What would be informative for me to know, is that ROM Manager seems to not only have screwed the ROM, but the stock bootloader as well. Weird.
Shinobisoft said we need to compact the CM10 ROM with his utility first, because the System partition is too small (Otherwise, I will have no network). I will do that, I have the tool, that doesn't look complicated.
From now, I am backing up my SD Card content (DATA is backed up too) with Nandroid present on SD, so I could start formatting, immediately followed by SD partitioning.
I guess I should be fine at that point - if anything goes wrong, I should have the option to restore the Nandroid backup.
Will let you know when I'll have the ROM compacted (Probably today).
EDIT: YAY !
Everything worked as we expected! I saved my SD Card on my computer, wiped it, partition it from CWM (EXT: 1024MB, SWAP: 64MB. I have a 16 Micro SD, class 4 (Can't afford higher class much, for now), then installed the compacted ROM. Immediately after, I installed Gapps, then rebooted.
That worked !! This ROM is DOPE ! Totally worth upgrading ! Blazing fast !! (Will be slower with apps installed, but well)
I also have a working network!
There is one thing that "failed", I cannot get Link2SD to work. It always says "cannot create mount script". I checked with Windows (I know by experience that I should absolutely not edit Unix partitions in Windows, I just check), and the FAT32 partition is the first, then I have a EXT4 partition, then the Linux-Swap, I don't know why it doesn't work.
I used Gparted to format the EXT4 partition to EXT2, but same problem, "cannot create mount script". What am I supposed to do ?
Thanks youuu !! =D
I'm really happy to have done this on my own, with help - I now have more experience with Android, I have experience with Windows, Linux OS and OS X, but never did I tried flashing a ROM yet.

How much free space is there on your /system partition ?
Link2SD should be working.

Hi,
Tanks for replying. out of 200mb, I have 70Mb free, but on /data. Last time i checked, /system was almost full (where can i check system size?).
Seems like lot of people have this link2sd issue.
@GameX2 use root explorer, it will tell you the remaining system space
@xu3sno or @ibub can you please help me ?

That's what I've thought, according to "Storage Analyzer", /sysem has as minimum free space of 84KB (!) and a maximum of 4.63 MB.
Did not experience any weird stuff, for now.
sd-ext folder doest exist at root, but it's empty.

Link2SD needs at least a MB to create mount scripts.
Delete some system apps like TerminalEmulator, CM File manager, Email, Exchange services.
Also use mini LatinIME.

Yes, that's right. You can check /system space by using Root Explorer. Or go to
Settings>About phone>Partition info.
I got 10+MB space left on /system partiton after trimmed the ROM and installed mini gapps.
You're right, Link2SD only works if there is 3MB, at least, left in system partition.

Once you have success with link2sd creating mount scripts, you can access at /data/sdext. Been a long time since I ran Jan 8 cm-10, but I seem to recall that partition info is not in settings/about phone. But link2sd will have it. Or there are other apps. When viewing storage info from settings menu, don't confuse internal memory with /system (190mb). Internal that is shown there is/data (200mb).

How Do I Install?
GameX2 said:
1) I've checked FlashImage GUI, it look really simple to use. This is what I see now:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/67605655/snap20140216_103936.png
For flashing a recovery image, should I select Clear Dalvik & Clear Cache ? Do I have to enable USB Debugging?
Where can I find the recovery image for CWM ? Here maybe: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523050
I don't know, I would download CWM v5.0.2.7_Touch_p500-Build 4.zip.
Would the terminal emulator method would be easier (I still need to find recovery.img)?
Code:
$ su
# mount -o remount rw /system
# cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/xbin/flash_image
# chmod 755 /system/xbin/flash_image
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
# mount -o remount ro /system
# reboot recovery
Since I have no Nandroid backup (I cannot do it until CWM is installed), what could I do if something goes wrong ?
2-3) Excellent, thank you.
4) I plan on partitionning, but at which point shoud I preferably do it?
Thank you, I appreciate the help - sorry for all the newbie questions.

A bit new to installing a recovery and custom ROM on this LG Optimus One (very familiar with Sony phones though), apologies for the newbie-ness. I have all of the files as per this thread, but how do I install the GUI app without a file manager app?

Install some file manager from play store. In phone settings (not file manager) choose security. Then choose to allow installation from unknown sources. Then open your file manager, scroll to sdcard/downloads/ ,and click on flashimage GUI.apk. Installation process will start.

Problem flashing RC3
Hey guys. I've been using RC2 for the past few weeks and I love it a lot. However, the browser bug is getting on my nerves since Chrome and even Opera are huge and slow resource hogs compared to what I had back in stock. So, I've been desperately trying to flash RC3...and failing. This is what I've done:
1 - Modify RC3 zip to move 40int2ext into init.d (just as I've done with RC2)
2 - Flash the modified aw3som3 recovery linked
3 - Wipe everything except sdcard
4 - Mount everything
5 - Flash RC3
6 - Fail to boot, stuck on CM logo
If I don't do step 1 it seems I'm able to boot, however after rebooting and flashing Gapps I get stuck on a bootloop again (this time on the HTC logo). I swear I've been searching these forums for days but can't find an answer for this issue. Thanks for any help, love your work <3
Charging animation
Hello! Please help me.
How can add charging animation when the screen is off in CM11 RC3, such as stock?

Thanks! RC4 installed just fine.
I seem to have found a pretty annoying bug though (but don't have enough posts to report it in the main thread), the alarm clock is crazy. It's constantly crashing and even though I erased all the alarms it didn't reset some and they keep playing. Seemed to have solved it by force closing app + clearing cache.

Even though some people in the main thread report it's still draining pretty fast, I think it has improved a bit. Used phone extensively today (read some docs in dropbox for about 4 hours in the morning, screen on the whole time, and played some games in the afternoon) and got home with 20% battery.
Is anyone having battery leak? in 23h of device on i have the battery at 29% without using it att all, i don't even have a sim card in it and the "cell standby"(battery used by cell radio) consumed 91% of it.

Hey Fufi,
thanks for the reply buddy!
I've recently encountered a problem with TWRP
- it opens, and just blinks in the "teamwin" image
can I know a way for setting this right?
---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 PM ----------
more info on my previous quote
I guess the problem started after I changed the caching method from dalvik to ART from the system settings (under performance?)
after it rebooted, ART didnt work, lots of force closes and I had to reflash the ROM
after flashing ROM, the OS didnt go into systemui ( it just kept crashing)
after 3 times of reflashing the ROM, TWRP started to show this type of behaviour..
now I've reflashed TWRP, but it still shows this behaviour, but CWM works fine, and I can use roms flashable in cwm
So can I know where the problem is, and how I could fix it?
My suspicion is ART was the culprit, but how do I change back from ART to dalvik( or did it change back to dalvik automatically after reflashing ROM?)
EDIT:
after some searches, I used zip files to swap back to dalvik, and then reflashed twrp, but to no avail... same result ..
@Rocky1822:
Try to make a wipe (or flash superwipe.zip) with other recovery, then flash TWRP aw3som3 Recovery and do another wipe.
If recovery work fine you can reflash RC4.
After reflash the default runtime is the dalvik.

I had wiped using cwm then put in twrp, still shows same behavoiur ( it blinks on the teamwin image)
update: twrp 2.8.0.0 works, the problem seems to happen only with v2.7.0.0
but, the rom works on v2.7.0.0 right?
update 2: I had figured out the problem, it was due to my sdcard, I removed it an then put it back on and remounted sdcard, and it works!

it is not aw3som3 recovery as recovery log says out of memory. use correct recovery. wipe every partition except sd card in current recovery as well as after flashing aw3som3. also flash superwipe.
