Hey there. I have a big problem with my LG P920. I've rooted it, and flashed CWM With Rom Manager on it. When I made a backup, I have some problems as it has got stuck on the LG Logo on start up. I fixed it anyhow, so I tried installing the Rom now. When I rebooted into CWM Recovery, it gets stuck at the LG Logo again.. Any tips ? Thanks !
(wanted to flash ICS! )
are you on GB or ICS in any case you probably need WKparts bootloader so go and install that first if you want to flash ICS from GB do you need to follow this Guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqC5qw6WRaY&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Im on Android 2.3.3 or something haha.
Edit : That Guide doesnt work for me as "Ports" aren't showing up for me at Device Manager.

Hi everyone,
I really need a help here. I had V30A running and wanted to install a root. For this I needed to install recovery tool. So I've installed everything like on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1978543
* After this phone didn't load - I just see red LG logo and black screen...
* I've made all possible wipes (cache, system, ...)
* I've installed firmware through original LG update software
I still see black screen....
After using this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2144738 I see only gray LG logo when I turn phone on (I'm installing ICS bootloader and ICS TWRP Recovery)
* I've also tried installing V30a.zip file from recovery... It wrote
* mounting system

But after restart, still black screen...
Question: How can I install ANY VERSION of firmware and make my phone loading??? Please help!!!!:crying:

first you installed recovery and bootloader for SU760 NOT for official ics v30a
stock ics v30a uses Gingerbread bootloader not ics bootloader that's why you stuck at LG logo
what you can do is simple
just download ics .bin + .fls and flash them with LG flash tool
don't use original LG updater
LG flash tool will solve your problem easily
any other problem you can PM me

Did you do a complete clear or did you skip some steps? What recovery program are you using - can you boot back into it (using the alternative methods), clear everything and try again? Are you sure the ROM you picked is the right one for your phone? You might have to use the LG tool to flash it back to stock and start over. However since you are getting to the boot animation (and you did give it a good 15 to 20 minutes before declaring an issue I hope as some ROMS can be really slow setting up for the first time) it isn't completely bricked. Keep hunting here and you will likely find a resolution.
to be able to revive you phone you need to instal a recovery, witch I see you didn't and tried to instal a custom rom without it directly from RomManager, one thing, RomManager isn't compatible anymore with p500 so that made your phone softbrick
step 1. go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827723 download the tool read all abouth it, flash recovery on your phone (press THANKS to THE MAN)
step 2. find a rom in development section an flash it via recovery

I BEG YOU.
I have a Rogers Infuse 4G (i997r) and I have been trying to upgrade it to kitkat by using a unofficial Cyanogenmod rom. More recently have been trying to use Carbon rom to update it. I have been running into problem after problem, error after error and I have finally decided to post something on XDA in hopes that someone with more experience can help me out. More information about the errors and what I have done to the phone below.
About a year ago I got this Rogers infuse 4G from a friend. I messed around with it for a bit but what I really wanted to do with it was install a custom rom and update it to a more recent version of Android (It started out on gingerbread (2.3)).
I had a real hard time getting modified recovery 3e because there was not original recovery file in system>bin to replace.
I forget most of what happened but it ended with me using a application to convert the cwm recovery zip to a md5 because I couldn't get modified 3e to work.
I tried using odin to flash the files I made but odin got stuck (or was just taking forever) and I unplugged my Infuse.
The infuse was bricked and would only show "firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again". The phone would'nt enter recovery or download mode. It was recognized by odin but seemed as if it was not responding.
About 3 days ago I finally decided to try to unbrick the phone again (I don't know why just felt like it) and I found GTG ultimate unbrick with a pit file. I tried uploading this using odin and the phone responded and downloaded the files.
The phone showed a AT&T splash screen and then the Samsung logo. It hanged at the Samsung logo for about 3 minutes then would turn off reboot, show the AT&T splash screen then the hang at the Samsung logo for 3 minutes again.
I decided that I didn't actually need to install working android because I just needed CWM Recovery and found a CWM Recovery that was flashable with odin.
Now that the phone would actually show a splash screen I could access download mode and the stock 3E recovery.
I went to download mode and flashed CWM Recovery 6 - Voodoo Lagfix with odin
In the CWM Recovery I clicked install update.zip
The phone said installing and when it finished it rebooted.
It showed the AT&T logo and then the Samsung screen then it started talking (which btw scared the **** out of me) and it said installing voodoo lagfix, estimated time remaining 2 minutes
After it was done installing it rebooted and I had the same problem as before. It would show the AT&T logo then hang at the Samsung screen for 3 minutes.
I reflashed the GTG unbrick with odin then I reflashed the CWM Recovery and I was back into the recovery. (It wouldn't just let me boot into it I had to reflash it which was weird)
This time instead of clicking install update.zip I installed the Cyanogenmod-11-infuse-4g-unofficial-2014(some build number).zip
I got (status 7) installation aborted.
when the phone rebooted it showed a cyanogen mod loading screen and I got really excited
after the loading screen it went straight to proper CWM Recovery then it instantly crashed with a little fallen over Android and a red triangle over it.
It kept boot looping like this so I asked for the unbrick files for a Rogers Infuse 4G and installed those.
Once I installed the Rogers Infuse 4G Rom I set it up but I ran into the same problem I had last time.
I can't install the modified 3E recovery because the recovery file is not system>bin. CWM Recovery also fails to install even though it says it has installed.
It turns out the recovery file is on the root of my phone not /system/bin
Im not really sure what to do and guidance would be appreciated.
It's because the CWM is not only device specific, but carrier specific (at least for the Infuse).
Flash the following file (extracted) with Odin. It will talk to you as well after reboot, but it will give you CWM red which you can use to move on to custom ROMs:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/t0kc92124jat6yt/CWM Infused Kernel.zip?dl=0
Be sure to disable Voodoo Lagfix before installing any ROM's, especially if shortcut'ing directly to CarbonROM (versus installing CM9, then CM10.1 and finally a KitKat ROM).
Good luck, let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks so much for both the Rogers stock rom and the help today. I left out one crucial piece of information earlier by mistake. I tried installing both cyanogenmod and carbon rom earlier using the voodoo fix version of CWM Recovery and I got another status 7 installation aborted. I deleted the assert part of the update-script. My problem now is I get status 6 installation aborted and I haven't been able to find a quick fix for it. I just tried again using the red version of CWM Recovery you gave me and I still get the same error

Just to be clear. With the original ROM file, did you try installing the ROM with this CWM and Voodoo Lagfix disabled? That is go into CWM's options menu, and disable there?
Just trying to pick the low hanging fruit, unfortunately I don't know where to go from there (as this is my only idea now, besides re-downloading the ROM).
I have no problem reflashing the roms are anything. I have a iPhone 5S (hoping to get a S5 or S6 in 2015 once my contract expires ) so I have no important files or anything on this phone. (In fact I just reflashed that rogers rom yesterday from a blank slate) I noticed you have (had?) a Infuse 4G running Carbon 4.4.4 and honestly that's all I want to get to. If you want me to reflash roms or files I have no problem doing so. I just would like my infuse to run Carbon 4.4.4.

It used to be that in order to get from Gingerbread to say, Jellybean, you needed to install the Ice Cream Sandwich ROM (CM9) first. This gives you a relatively new CWM in order to do your bidding. But you man need to install a Jellybean ROM (I suggest CM10.1) in order to get a CWM that will like the installation of KitKat.
So Stock (Infused CWM) -> CM9 -> CM10.1 -> CarbonROM 4.4.4
Of course, I did say used to. Apparently if you disable Voodoo lagfix in CWM you can go straight to CarbonROM. I never tried it, but it is worth a shot (avoids having to go on a scavenger hunt).
But if you already tried it with no success, now you know the classical way.
Thanks a lot. By upgrading to cm9 then cm10 then finally Carbon Rom I was able to get the phone to kitkat!
Cheers
