question

we, korean OB users cannot use this recovery :<

in the script

mmcblk0p4 <- does our devices have different

recovery partition?

If it does, then how can I find the partition number of my OB?

hope to find mmcblk0pX plz.....
[LG Optimus Black] evilenter:
hi hi,

I used the latest version, but after I flash Nova_v3,

then click the

+++ go back (something like that)+++

it still showed

can't mount /cache/recovery/command

can't mount /cache/recovery/log

can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

After I format /cache partition (again) under CWM, it's not showing.

I thought you mentioned /cache problem is something to do with ext4,

and I saw NOVA format /cache in ext4, right?

I thought the new version supposed to solve the /cache problem.

Purple-themed is quiet amazing, thanks to your work!
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
It is fixed.

You only get those errors after flashing Nova for the first time.

If you go back to recovery, you won't see any error. ;)
[LG Optimus Black] evilenter:
Alright, I see.:D

Thanks to quick reply, and of course all of your contribution again.
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Meh, do a 'mount', see the ones 0pX being used. Take note of the missing ones.

Then keep trying to flash a recovery and boot on it. Trial and error... Dirty but works.

I'd say to fetch the recovery.fstab but you need to pull recovery for that.
[LG Optimus Black] ernious:
one more..

I do understand what you mean

but I don't have informations about 'mount'

can you write the order for me? plz...

i type mount it shows

0p5 /lgdrm

0p13 /dms

0p8 /system

0p9 /data

0p6 /dvp/hwkey, /dvp/userdata

0p10 /cashe

which 0pX should I use?
[LG Optimus Black] pabgar:
WIll You bring the key combination back ( as it was in older releases) ?
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
What?

There never was a key combination to boot into recovery.

Our Optimus Black SBL doesn't allow it.

There is the Emergency Recovery method (eRecovery) that I created but at the moment is only working on Nova ROM (press key while it's on LG logo on boot and it will go to recovery). The eRecovery is a ROM feature, it's unrelated to the recovery itself.

[LG Optimus Black] andrewbadge:
Just did a ROM back up! thanks Noejn!

Question though, if ever brick my phone, how do I enter recovery?

1st time android user and still learning ^_^
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
You don't because we don't have a key combination to get into recovery.

If you have Nova ROM, you can try the eRecovery method. If not, you must flash a whole new firmware if you get stuck on the boot.
[LG Optimus Black] andrewbadge:
I tried flashing V10a using KDZ, but it stops at 7% and pc looses connection with phone, anything i can do? I bricked my phone ^_^
[LG Optimus Black] PaulBort:
OH! I happened to enter the recovery menu on CWM4 on boot. Switched the phone, and then push/release the key "-"volume. Logo LG appeared, then disappeared, then reappeared and a recovery menu. All this time pressed/released "-" volume. Did a series of 2 times and 2 times it happened.
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
...

That's eRecovery.

I suggest you start reading a ROM's post before you download it.
[LG Optimus Black] batalhaf:
To make a restore i have to wipe cache partition and wipe data first ?
[LG Optimus Black] MauricioAedo:
I think a good improvement would be can format SD card only in FAT32 because OB doesn't need ext or swap partitions and it is necessary first format in Windows or Android.

[LG Optimus Black] dxdiag32:
key combination is all we want:P
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
How many times we would use CWM anyway? Are we gonna use this phone daily work, or just playing with it?

My opinion, if CWM v4.x works perfectly, then use it. no need to update to 5.x. At boot, I repeatedly press Vol-Up and it enter to CWM v4.x. And if it's time to Gingerbread, then perhaps we should update to v5.x.

CMIIW.
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
I almost boot into recovery more times than booting normal system ;) and CWM 5 usb and adb helps. When in addition in has ext4 support, it will be 70% perfect. And the keycombination will make the 30% rest because it will allow boot into recovery when we screw it up too much.
[LG Optimus Black] donjamal:
hi

can i use cwm5 to restore my original (v10e) firmware if i dont like nova or any other custom rom? or should i use kdz upadeter? if i gotta use kdz plz tell me why? why cant i restore my orig firm with cwm? most of other phone's orig firmware can be restore with cwm

thanks
[LG Optimus Black] dxdiag32:
yes,key combination+adb support is the perfect recovery XD
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Well, as an ordinary users, I don't think really need CWM for daily usage, unless we're frequently playing with ROM, hacking, customizing, etc such as technical or else related with it.. I just want to set it properly, high performance but battery save, to use daily work... :p

Q : a french user is wondering if a stock backup (EXT3) can be restored thru Nova (EXT4)

is this doable ?
[LG Optimus Black] Jack'O:
On linux, if the system support both, there are not problems, don't know about Android, but think it's the same.
[LG Optimus Black] rgabi88:
Yes, stock backup can be restored!

Because Nova uses ext4, in order to avoid problems (you will not be able to install any new apps and 0 free space) you have to proceed as follows:

1. Do a emergency recovery with LG Update tool;

2. Do a Factory reset via hidden menu and one (just to be sure) via adb;

3. Flash v10A with KDZ Updater

4. Do another Factory reset via hidden menu and another one (just to be sure) via adb;

5. Install gingerbreak and root the phone;

6. Install CWM;

7. Recover your backup via cwm.

Cheers!
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
too many steps dear rgabi... no need to do many reset, standard flash formats all things. The question in detail is : is it possible to restore a stock backup after having installed Nova.

In your instructions, there is no Nova installation :)
[LG Optimus Black] rgabi88:
Shorted method:

1. emergency recovery

2. factory reset via hidden menu

2a. flash whatever stock firmware you like

3. root and cwm

4. flash your backup via cwm.

"In your instructions, there is no Nova installation :)" It isn't suposed to be, because YOU asked:

"Q : a french user is wondering if a stock backup (EXT3) can be restored thru Nova (EXT4)"

Here I understand that somehow, the user HAS Nova and wants to return to a previous saved stock backup....isn't it?

P.S. Any method that formats /data as ext3 before flash the backup, will do the trick! Due to many attempts, I ended up doing a factory reset before and after every reboot untill I resolved my problem. Anyway, that is what worked for me.
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
yes, but the goal is to keep nova. Doing an emergency recovery (or any other kdz flash) is not wanted
[LG Optimus Black] rgabi88:
@Ilko

Sorry.... :( I did not understand it right about Nova and stock mix.....

Hi Knzo (or whomever can reply to this) and all:

I've flashed CM7, with the latest CWM, but now the emergency recovery doesn't work. It's a pity, because I find it a very, VERY useful feature. Is this emergency recovery built into the CWM, or into the kernel? And if the latter, can we expect a custom-knzo-kernel for CM7 including this feature?

Thanks!
[LG Optimus Black] pabgar:
You are probably thinking about keycombo to enter recovery at boot. It is a feature of Nova ROM.

Flash a properly rooted Rom with smartflash maybe. If you've just rooted stock ics you get security error when trying to put a custom recovery on it. There is a new way to root it I believe that solves the security error issue. Best might be to inject cwm into a v20 base rom.

Hi all, please don't start havin a go at me cos I'm in a situation that after I choose one, I have to stick with.

Ok here goes, I currently have a galaxy s2 which I got 3 weeks ago on a 2 year contract.

Although I'm happy overall with the phone, I really miss sense and some other stuff that htc offer.

Before my galaxy s2 I had a desire hd and was really happy with it.

Now...my girlfriend gets her upgrade in 2 weeks but she is willing to let me have it just as long as I sell this phone.

Now what I'm askin is, is it worth the jump from the galaxy s2 to the sensation??

I've read reviews and I even lurk on this part of the forum just to see how the device is doing.

A few things I've read have concered me like dust under screen, heavy lag, poor driver quality hence phone not as fast as say for example the galaxy s2.

Now I don't mind it not being as fast cos I'm an avid rommer and I'm sure custom roms will come out to speed it up right??

Just asking for a bit of Honest advice really, I know I'm in the sensation forum but would like people to have an honest answer and either say yeah its a good phone jump over or say no its not a good idea.

I'm askin u guys cos I haven't actually had a chance to play with the sensation yet and as I said earlier, once I choose, I've got it for 2 years.

Please help.

Oh sorry bout the post I've seen these type of posts before but I really do need ur advice.

Thanks guys.
[HTC Sensation] mjm128:
If your main issue is with sense not being there then you'd probably like the sensation more. I really don't like most of sense to be honest. Sense feels so bloated. (Waiting for cyanogenmod and i'm going to upgrade in 5months anyways).

I think they're both great devices, if you aren't happy with the gs2 maybe you should go test out a sensation?
[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
Not a huge fan of sense either but it's a great phone and there are already some great roms around. In fact I'm finding the Leedroid and adw launcher ex combo so silky I can easily wait as long as necessary for Cyanogenmod.

[HTC Sensation] barondebxl:
Man im willing to trade my sensation for your galaxy s 2 lol. It depends what you're looking for. Every review says the galaxy s 2 is the best phone but that doesn't mean the sensation isn't good. It's a very good phone, it does lag tho because sense is heavy and it's a memory hog. I'm not into rooting cause I have no idea how to do so but if that's your thing and you wanna install ROMs on it than give it a try. But I think you should keep you SGS2 just in case. Me personally I would go with the S2
[HTC Sensation] ciaphuas:
Its good news for HTC that users love sense so much
[HTC Sensation] kirdroid:
Have both the sgs2 and sensation...first time using sense and I definitely like the eye candy stuff, and build quality feels nice to hold it in hand. I don't care much about sense bloatware since I use sgs2 if I need fast performance or cm7. My main point of buying sensation was for sense :)
[HTC Sensation] reaperofwaywardsouls:
I like Sense quite a bit myself....but I hope that the next update takes the bloat down a notch. All that eye candy comes at quite a noticeable price...

Reminds me of when I had to 'upgrade' my old PC from Windows 98SE to Windows ME.....shudder...
[HTC Sensation] moh0:
I tend to get jealous of SGSII users who have their Super Amoled screen and massive internal storage. Touch Wiz also seems to have matured a lot since I last played with it. However, the grass is always greener on the other side. I'm positive I would envy Sensation owners if I had the SGSII.

That being said, I love sense a lot and it makes my daily activities very easy to accomplish. Build quality on the phone is the best I've ever handled. Simply, it's a beast of a phone especially after using these optimized roms in the dev section. The biggest problem with the phone is the wifi deathgrip. Also the speaker is the as loud as it could be. Other than that, this is the perfect phone for me.

Definetly get it you think sense is right for you. Just be aware that you are settling for inferior (though not by much) hardware.
[HTC Sensation] robstunner:
Short and sweet but....

I went from sgs2 to sensation and I'm happy overall. Yea it lags from time to time and its not the pure numbers animal that the sgs2 is but I enjoy the battery life, qhd, and build quality of the sensation over the sgs2. Also, sense is much better than touchwiz. With the current cm7 builds for sgs2 the sensation still has better battery life with sense and all the syncing going on. Even vs stock sgs2 rom.
[HTC Sensation] kanav bhasin:
i would have suggested the evo 3d since the sense on it is smoother while the sensation is known to be buggy. That being said my sensation doesn't have any problems at the moment.
[HTC Sensation] dazza_84:
Thanks for the replies everyone, yeah the main points I'm happy with the galaxy s2 is the screen, camera and speed.

Other than that, I'm not a fan of much else, don't really like touchwiz and also the screen isn't fluid, mine stutters and its a known problem, there is a fix though.

Also no notification light is a bummer as well.

I think u guys have convinced me to jump over ;-).

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] everest.deth:
Hey guys,

I have a MT4G here, i was running CM7 on it. Latest nightly, all was running smooth until somehow i started getting a bunch of FCs and i had to reboot to supposedly fix that. However, when i rebooted the phone was stuck on a bootloop, so i rebooted to recovery instead.

I tried restoring a nand from stock ROM, and i tried restoring a CM7 backup I had made a while ago, but recovery reads the following: E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command.

I then said, ok, maybe the recovery is borked. So i tried to redownload the recovery img from the official website, and i "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" - please note i had renamed the recovery file to recovery.img for the ease of typing things. Flashing that was a no-go, i get the following error: "remote: image update error".

So i kept on reading forums, and i came across the PD15IMG.zip, i placed on the root of my SDcard, rebooted to HBOOT, it checks for the update but fails to initiate installation, error says: "Fail - PU"

Do you guys have any ideas as to what can i try? I have the Eng Bootloader.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] everest.deth:
Appreciate the support, but i've seen hard bricks before. I am sure -and hopeful- that i'll be able to get out of this one.

If it serves any purpose, I tried erasing the recovery, rather than overwriting it, and i get the same Remote error. Unable to delete.

EDIT: Ok, so i spent the night reading, and it is not a user-driven failure, but rather a Manufacturer problem. Some eMMCs (labeled: "M4G2DE") may die all of the sudden, and not even necessarily during a ROM change, and/or during a restore. It can also fail inadvertently during day to day usage.
