Assuming you already have gingerbread installed, you are rooted, your phone connected with PC and usb debugging enabled.
Step 1
Donwload
recovery.img from http://www.wuala.com/caroceiro/optimus 3d/roms/acura/Acura3DMAX V2/?lang=en
Download
Clockwork Touch.rar from http://d-h.st/zdj
extract Clockwork Touch.rar
run LGP920_CWM_5.8.1.5_Flasher_WinXP.exe BUT DO NOT PRESS SPACEBAR YET
copy recovery.img from your downloaded files and paste it into same directory with LGP920_CWM_5.8.1.5_Flasher_WinXP.exe and overwrite old recovery.img
Now press spacebar in the dos box and let it flash
Step 2
Copy Acura3DMAX_V2.zip in your internal sdcard.
Reboot into touch recovery
go to mounts
Format DATA
Format SYSTEM
Format CACHE
Step 3
Install from internalsd Acura3DMAX_V2.zip
THATS IT
If you followed this guide its flashed now you should reboot and wait for startup guide.

well it wont boot stuck on lg screen so how will i put on sd after d/l?

restore your backup
if you dont have a backup try this
get into cwm
mount emmc
run LGP920_CWM_5.8.1.5_Flasher_WinXP.exe that you downloaded earlier
but dont press spacebar
look into the directory of LGP920_CWM_5.8.1.5_Flasher_WinXP.exe and there should be a file called adb-win.exe
open a command prompt and drag an drop adb-win.exe into it put a space and type push and then drag and drop Acura3DMAX_V2.zip leave a space and type /emmc/
it should look like this (although it depends on your directory structure)
"D:\LG Optimus3D\Clockwork Touch\adb-win.exe" push D:\downloads\Acura3DMAX_V2.zip /emmc/
or you could try installing it from your external sdcard

I hope everyone is hitting that "thanks" button for xbsall

So if I'm following correctly, we DO need to flash the recovery image or we DO NOT need to?
If this is just a rom then this is simple flashing with no extra steps but there has to be a reason for the recovery...

Well, first, turn off the phone and charge it so you don't loose battery.
Second, never install another recovery on top of an existing one without knowing what you are doing - ask first.. (You get into the built-in recovery on that cm10.1 by tapping the volume down button at the end of the red moto logo when the lights come on).
Next, you could possibly fix your system with adb and switching some files.. but that would take a lot of explaining if you are not familiar with it.. plus, you might not get adb recognized during the bootloop.
So, you need to use the FXZ files for your phone/region... Or, just flash the system.img only.. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41436876&postcount=1106 - and see the link linked there.
EDIT: If you can get adb recognized, you might be able to just run these few lines to fix things from the command prompt:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm /system/bin/hijack
sh /system/bin/finalize_release
exit

I am very confused at what you want to do. That link is only to root your device. But, if you are bootlooping, you need to replace your system.img.
You should download the entire SBF/FXZ zip file for your device/region/firmware. Then unzip it into a folder on your computer (best if it's close to C:\ with spaces in the path). Are you using a Windows OS on your computer?
Then, grab the restore-to-ics_win-batch.zip AND the restore-ics-system-only.bat.txt (remove the .txt extension) attached in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36834775&postcount=108
Mix those files in with the big FXZ files that you just unzipped. Then run the .bat file to flash the system.img only. If that doesn't work, then open the other .bat file (use Notepadd++ or similar), check that everything that is being flashed is actually in your folder and has the same name... and flash the entire FXZ. If none of that helped, then you probably flashed the wrong files to your phone.
Just flashing the system.img only is probably the safest.. Because if it's wrong, you can just flash another one. The other files in the FXZ package can mess up your phone if they are not for your specific device.
EDIT: If you still did not flash anything else, you could try to use adb... Get that restore-to-ics_win-batch.zip that I linked above.. Unzip it to your desktop. Power on your phone so it bootloops and connect with USB. Open a command prompt on the restore-to-ics_win-batch folder by holding down shift and right-click. Then type adb devices - if it returns a number with the word "device" (not the word "offline"), then you can try to use those adb codes I posted in my previous post. Otherwisem you need to use fastboot and flash fxz or system only.

Unzip the sbf/fxz - all the files in a single folder, on your desktop or in the root of your C:\ drive (like C:\ InlineFlashing_Edison_XX-XX-XX_CFC_P3_APBP.xml - where that is the name of the folder)
Then put the .bat file and other files from my restore_to_ics zip and the restore_system_only .bat in that same folder.
Then, connect with USB while in AP fastboot mode, see if it says "OK to program", then double-click the restore-ics-system-only.bat

Stock lollipop+root can't copy data back from pc

When I try, it says that its been disconnected, if I use a file manager on the phone it won't let me delete anything off, any ideas on this?

Did you push any data by adb or mtp via recovery?

I copied data via recovery, I take it that's where my problem came from?

you used
adb push backup /data/media/0

TO your device?
If so, yes that is where the problem came from. If you PUSH data TO your device via recovery (not single files but folders) It screws permissions. There is a zip to fix it which I can link to, if you can confirm that is what you did.

Of course if you can't write to sdcard, you'll either need to adb push / MTP via recovery or using a root explorer, set all permissions to read, write for /data/media/0/Download

That's exactly what I did sir, so I reflashed everything, now (of course) everything is running like a champion, appreciate the info,won't be making that mistake again

Yeah, MTP and ADB via recovery are fine if you need to get a backup on there to restore or some zips to flash, but as soon as you start pushing actual folders, permissions screw up.
Choice is to go through setup wizard and then use Android MTP or push that zip too and flash every time.

Thanks for the info, won't be making that mistake again Lol, side not lollipop is snappy and responsive as all hell

Unlocked (639737.5) System Image Backup

I've uploaded a few updated stock files for the Unlocked variant of HTC One A9 (1.12.617.6) in case anyone needs them.
USE THESE FILES AT YOUR OWN RISK!
They can be found here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8OH6sFjVE1ldGNjN29KX19zZm8
RUU_HIA_AERO_UL_M60_SENSE7GP_ATT_NA_Gen_Unlock_1.12.617.6.zip
This is an extracted zip of the latest HTC RUU.
This file will wipe everything on your phone EXCEPT External (SD) Storage
The easiest way to flash is to download the file, rename it to 2PQ9IMG.zip, copy it to your SD card, reboot to download mode and press volume up when prompted to flash
Otherwise, you can flash using htc_fastboot in RUU mode
fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip RUU_HIA_AERO_UL_M60_SENSE7GP_ATT_NA_Gen_Unlock_1.12.617.6.zip (what is htc_fastboot? it's HTC's very own fastboot utility that allows you to flash larger files than regular fastboot. where can you find it? it's not hard)
HTC_A9_2PQ9IMG_1.12.617.6_SystemImageBackupAndBoot.zip
TWRP system image backup. This file will restore your system to an unmodified state and should allow you to take an OTA Update if you're rooted or otherwise modified your system partition
This is NOT a flashable zip. It is a regular old compressed zip file.
Download it to your computer, unzip it, and copy the contents to the TWRP backup directory (sdcard/TWRP/Backups/.../...) on your device.
Boot to recovery
Go to Mount Menu and set System to Read-Only
Go to Restore and find and select this backup folder
Optional - I've included the stock boot image in case you have flashed a modified boot image and want to restore this as well
HTC_A9_2PQ9IMG_1.12.617.6_Stock_boot.img
stock boot image extracted from the 1.12.617.6 OTA update package
flash in download mode (fastboot flash boot HTC_A9_2PQ9IMG_1.12.617.6_Stock_boot.img)
HTC_A9_2PQ9IMG_1.12.617.6_Stock_recovery.img
Stock recovery for Unlocked edition (1.12.617.6)
Save this file in your fastboot folder
Boot to DOWNLOAD mode
Flash using fastboot (fastboot flash recovery HTC_A9_2PQ9IMG_1.12.617.6_Stock_recovery.img)

I've done everything the instruction says and i'm at the point where I've mounted the "system" folder as read-only. I go to the restore option but i don't see any files or folders to restore from.

Did you copy my folder (2015-11-14--01-18-44_MRA58K_release-keys) into your TWRP backup directory?
Edit: if you don't have a TWRP backup directory, the easiest way to create one is to just run a backup of one of the small partitions (boot/recovery).

Thanks a a million!! Helped me out of a pinch with mine. Mine would just reboot as soon as any app got root permissions. Restoring your system backup fixed it!

Can you upload recovery_signed.img again Thank !

Mine wasn't correct. @Captain_Throwback posted one in the root thread in the dev section last night that works.

I was able to do a backup of system_image in twrp, but now when I try to recover, I get unable to mount /system. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

That's the message when you try to restore? Did you go into the mount menu and mount system as read-only (there's a check box underneath all the partitions)?

Hello, somehow I've managed to delete my OS. I'm still unlocked and s-off but when I try to restore with your file it crashed. So I wiped everything and started over. Here's my issue now. I downloaded your file and extracted it to put onto an external sd. Once I did that I made a small backup in TRWP and moved the file to sd/TRWP but when I go to restore its blank with only the small back up showing. I can't put system to read only, it think its because I have no OS. I can click/unclick everything else just not system.

You moved the backup folder under external_sd/TWRP/YOUR_SERIAL_NUMBER/ ? That's where it has to be for TWRP to see it. And that shouldn't prevent you from being able to mount system read-only (unless you're getting an error on /system, in which case you should wipe/format it).

Each time I hit a dead end, I wipe and format. I am getting an error saying unable to mount system. I sent some info over to @jcase about my device and he said that HTC sent me an engineer firmware version. Does that make a difference at all?

I also appreciate your patience with me @Captain_Throwback. I normally don't have issues with stuff like this.

Can you upload a copy of your recovery log? And please confirm where you're putting the backup folder?

Mate 8 error flashing TWRP, plz help

Hi,
Today I just started rooting my mate 8,
Everything worked fine as I was able to easily unlock the boot loader free ,but when it came to flash twrp.img file in cmd it started showing errors, I downloaded almost 5 6 img files but nothing is going on, it shows 'cannot load twrp.img file', :/ I hv spent like almost 2 hours flashing nd searching for answer but their is no thread with suitable answer, many people have this problem, Plz help.

u either have to put the twrp image file into the same directory as your ADB/fastboot installation or navigate to the respective folder location via the recovery flash command

I hv download the trwp black and blue image file, now when I click to extract it in winzip or winrar, itsay the archive is either of unknown format or dAmaged.
Edit: So today after some hardwork I was able to flash the twrp.img file, then I format my device through it, everything worked fine, but when the home screen appeared it was very simple and sort of very 'BASIC', I went to 'THEMES' icon on my mate 8 but their were no themes like Mocha etc, what should I do now? I want my old themes back, is their any way?
