[Optimus One, P500, V General] MtDewFella:
My brother flashed the wrong recovery, I tried using the tutorial to fix it using fastboot.exe from windows, but it won't work as it can't find the device. windows sees an android device and I installed the drivers from lg, but it refuses to enumerate in adb shell, so I can't connect to it, any ideas?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] MtDewFella:
okay after fiddleing with it a bit, I got the origional recovery mode restored on it, and when I boot into recovery and plug in usb adb can see the device, I have a stock froyo rom how do I restore from here, or can I reflash clockwork from here?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kaivorth:
Can you get me to where you are? Step by step would be nice :o

Not sure what recovery files I need or ROM I need or anything, or how to use adb. I've been looking online for the past 3hrs on this stuff.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] MtDewFella:
go to this page

this only works if you have some sort of custome recovery, My brother had the wrong one for the optimus v (clockworkmod 3.2.0.0) and it wouldn't install any rom.

I just played around with this page until I got the stock bootloader/recovery back, however I'm not sure if this is what we want, you may want to try flashing one of the custom recoveries listed on the site, now that I have the stock I can re-flash anything.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kaivorth:
How did you get the stock recovery working though thats what I need. I can't get into any recovery.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] MtDewFella:
you need to get into a custom recovery, optimus v press back, volume up and power at the same time to boot into a recovery, if you don't have a recovery at all there maybe an issue. so try and boot into a recovery and let me know what you have.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kaivorth:
Nothing happened. Just that blue screen.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kaivorth:
Looking in my SD card I noticed I have a backup of the recovery-clockwork-3.2.0.0-vm670 file. This anything helpful?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] MtDewFella:
if you can't get into any recovery your device maybe permintally bricked, but don't take what I say as gospel I'm new at this as well, I'm still looking up more info, in the mean time you need to figure out how to get into recovery, google for key combos, also when using a key combo to get into recovery make sure power is the last button you press in the combo, hold down the others then power (while still holding the other buttons) and release as soon as you see the lg logo, it should go away quickly and after a few seconds of black you'll see the recovery, if the lg logo stays up for a while it's trying to normal boot.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] MtDewFella:
you don't want that version of clockwork, that's what my brother flashed and that started this whole mess
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kaivorth:
I think if I can get adp to recognize this device I can fix it. Fastboot recognizes this, but adp doesn't. Is there a special adp driver maybe lol?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kaivorth:
Got a little bit of progress....did a full system flash using fastbootroot and NVM OMG its fully booted! wow never thought I'd see the homescreen again...now to try to flash it again hahahaha

Now what verison of recovery and rom should I be looking at?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] MtDewFella:
if you want to get aospCMod on your phone, follow this tutorial, this is what I did for my phone works great.

Now my question to you is how did you use fast boot root tool to get back to home screen because I'm still stuck at recovery
[Optimus One, P500, V General] MtDewFella:
okay I finally managed to fix it, I figured out how to use fast boot root and got a custom recovery, from there I could flash other recoveries, which was importaint because even though I could install any rom I wanted it was stuck in a boot loop where it would keep booting into recovery, So i flashed Xionia_CWMA_12518.4_VM_Recovery.zip from here and under advanced it has an option to fix the boot loop, then from there I could flash a rom and it's fixed.

Lot of work fixin' my first bricked phone, but I learned alot.
[Nexus S General] NexusCrazy:
As a lot of you will know a few Nexus S owners have had problems with there IMEI numbers being corrupted/re-written after flashing a ROM from on here (XDA) no blame being apportioned at all ! We all know the risks of flashing ROM;s, Kernels, Radio's etc.. And we do this entirely at our own risk.

However a fix is still needed, although more and more people are returning there phones under warranty.

I'm one of the lucky ones who sent there Nexus's of to cpw and who's had there Nexus repaied and returned.

Back to what I need help with.

What I want/need to do now is back up my efs folder, so that I can restore it if anything like this was to happen again,.

Is just backing the folder up with Root Explorer, Astro or a simular App, saving it and then just restoring it enough, Is it that simple? The reason I ask is that when Ive backed them up, I then check the Details and they differ.

The efs folder on the phone / is 4,214,784 bytes and contains 7 files.

The backed up efs folder on the phone /mnt/sdcard is 4,227,072 bytes and contains 10 files

Whats that all about ????.

Can anyone recommend an App thats spercificaly for this task?

Sugestions welcome :)

Thanks in Advance

[Eee Pad Transformer General] codeworks:
I know I saw various posts regarding the Launcher force closing before the 3.1 update.

After the update, I continue to get force closes on the launcher and various applications. For the most part, I only run Honeycomb designed apps with a couple of exceptions.

Anyone else continuing to have the Launcher force close after the 3.1 update? Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] glgehman:
Yes, I do. Did you get any other helpful replies?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] reisa:
Me too -- just FCs randomly as best I can tell. I run lots of widgets, though. Beautiful widgets, email and gmail, wizz widgets, 360 news, music, etc. Mostly just a minor annoyance, but I'd love to get it cleared up. I've run fix permissions multiple times. Running Prime1.5 and clemsyn-blades v16.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] darkonex:
I used to get those FC's often on the launcher and almost any app I used when I was on 3.01, but since installing 3.1 I have never got it on the launcher anymore and only seen it on a couple apps that weren't completely compatible with the TF so it seemed to fix it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] reisa:
Is the problem in the lockscreen?

I installed Flyscreen after reading about it in another thread -- it adds widgets to a Honeycomb look-alike lock screen. Since it's really just an app, I was still getting the official lock screen after unlocking Flyscreen, so I went into settings -> location & security -> configure lock screen ... and set it to "off".

Suddenly, I'm not getting the launcher force closes anymore. It's only been about 12 hours (including overnight) - but I was getting a couple of closes per hour before. The lock screen settings change is the only thing I've done in/around the time that things settled down. I'm hopeful that this somehow did it.

I'm guessing that Flyscreen isn't necessary -- just changing the lockscreen settings. Maybe you could even turn them back on and not get closures? I'm happy to leave well enough alone on my tablet, but maybe this will help someone else.

** by the way - I'm running Prime1.5 with Clemsyn-BladesOC#16. But I've had the FC issue as long as I can remember, even with Primordial and stock kernels (I rooted right after getting my TF).

According to a post from Jerry Hildenbrand over on the Android Central forums, Sprint engineers are currently testing new firmware which will hopefully solve our 3G signal problems and perhaps 4G issues as well (WiFi issues are apparently within Google's realm to fix). From the info here and elsewhere, it appears the original, pre-ship baseband was better than what we have now. Does anyone have this baseband available to flash?

Here's a link to the thread. Look on Page 2 of the thread for Jerry's first post:

[Nexus S General] Award Tour:
Radio chips are usually now on the same CPU chip. I'm guessing the radio problems are causing the CPU stall? Maybe?
[Nexus S General] ronnienyc:
There is a post that says the radio searching for signal stalls the chip, making pictures temporarily unreadable, leading people to think they have disappeared when they have not.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
First time ive heard of that, its very odd to me that bad service would affect something showning in your gallery. Wouldnt surprise me though
[Nexus S General] housry23:
You are correct. The chip is busy looking for a radio signal and and stalls the loading of the pics on your sdcard. It takes a few minutes for them to show up and people that didn't let it load thought they were gone.

You have to odin back to jfd and *only* jfd (unless you have jk2, but even so, that contains a primary bootloader [boot.bin] and if you mess up flashing that then your phone is perma-bricked) because CM7/miui have a different partition layout, and it takes a lot of technical things to change from mtd partitions (aosp type) back to bml partitions (samsung type).

Also, before you ask, to carry out all the technical things require WAAAY more work than just odining back to jfd, making sure you have the CWM update.zip on your sdcard and then flashing away whatever samsung rom you want.
