It needs some GB love! haha... I have already started working on a rom. I think the biggest issues is sizing, lots of the text looks to big, space poorly used, fat status icons, etc...

I have a Thrill off contract now and returned the one I got on contract and will get picking up the sgs2 when that comes out ;)

yup, it's fixed

/data should be world writable always... not sure what is wrong with yours :p
[LG Thrill 4G] malickie:
Awesome DG I really look forward to your work. As for sizing can't you ask one of the Dev's over on the LG Optimus 3D about their roms and how they dealt with sizing considering I assume the screens and what not are the same?
[LG Thrill 4G] Trekfan422991:
im a graphic designer... pretty good at theming.. let me know if you want me to through something together...
[LG Thrill 4G] designgears:
I am probably going to gingerbread theme it.
[LG Thrill 4G] N!ghtgold:
Thanks for the hardwork DG got Clockwork running. Now to try out gtg's rom
[LG Thrill 4G] 47r0n1n:
I like the 3D on the Thrill a lot better because it is higher in so to speak. It is definitely faster for sure. If HTC had made this phone with the quality of 3D and features and all that it would be perfect. Lol! The EVO 3D was over hyped and was not worth the money imo. The Thrill was worth it even with some of its quirkiness. lol!

I am getting the same thing with the permission denied bit. It should be world writable but I am getting denied where do I need to go to change the permissions on /data if that is what fixes it?
[LG Thrill 4G] rthamilton:
I was getting the same thing so I manually put the file there with. Root explorer instead of pushing with adb.
[LG Thrill 4G] 47r0n1n:
Where did you put it? Just on the root of the device? Because I thought about doing that too. Some of this is new to me. I can flash roms, kernels, change radios and all that but most of the work was already done so this is a learning experience. I appreciate anyone's patience LOL. Thanks in advance.
[LG Thrill 4G] N!ghtgold:
This is what I did. In root explorer long press on the data folder. In there you can edit the permissions. I selected all the check boxes. THen tried the adb push and it worked
[LG Thrill 4G] 47r0n1n:
Thanks! I appreciate it. I will try that and let you know what happens. Thanks for the quick response.
[LG Thrill 4G] N!ghtgold:
Hey it took me 20min to figure out what I was doing wrong once I got it I wanted to donkey punch myself
[LG Thrill 4G] tedjacob10:
I was going to ask about the permission denied thing with adb but I see my question has been answered now I just feel silly lol

long pressing the data folder in root explorer and and checking all the boxes under permissions worked! thanks guys
[LG Thrill 4G] malickie:
This Should be Stickied I think.
[LG Thrill 4G] 47r0n1n:
LOL! Me too dude thanks for your help. I now have CWM and gtg's Thriller rom running on it now and man this phone is quick. With the new rom I am actually grabbing 4G where I was only pulling H+ before. Big speed difference all around.
[LG Thrill 4G] gtg465x:
Just FYI... H+ = 4G. At least according to T-Mo and AT&T.
[LG Thrill 4G] Hacksaw7:
I have tried those steps like 5 times now and it goes thru them all shows the file being back up, shows the file being written and when process completes and you type reboot the phone reboots but I cannot get into recovery just reboots phone every time back to the desktop. I have done numerous phones before and this is first time I am running into this problem. I had the same problem as others where I had to give permission to data folder in root explorer, maybe that is messing with it. I am at a loss right now. Any Ideas would be appreciated.
[LG Thrill 4G] N!ghtgold:
When the phone is off you have to hold down the 3d button + volume down + power release the power button once the LG logo shows keep the other two held down and it will go into recovery. I think DG is working on a fix to get it to boot into the recovery or it might be gtg
[LG Thrill 4G] dincdoes.me:
why to use?

I dont understand why I would use this if I can't flash roms?

or am I not understanding can i flash rom zip files?
[LG Thrill 4G] N!ghtgold:
You can flash the zips with it. Not sure why it says you cant. But I have tried GtG's and a couple of the optimus roms and they all flash and everything works
[LG Thrill 4G] dincdoes.me:
Everything like as in everything *jumps on computer* :-)

I thought we can't flash o3d? Cuz of the bands :-)

Oh man I'm so happy the stock is too buggy and laggy...

Anyone try a kernel yet?

Speaking of kernels don't o3d rom s have their kernels for the device like I remember flashing cm7 on my incredible and it had a cm7 kernel same as miui...
[LG Thrill 4G] Hacksaw7:
Thanks N!ghtgold that worked!! very much appreciated. I was pulling my hair out almost lol.
[LG Thrill 4G] N!ghtgold:
Yes I have tried King 3d and Powerfroyo from the 3d optimus everything works except you only get 3g due to not having the correct radio for att 4g

So you should be able to actually flash any zip from there they all should work its the same device just with an att 4g radio. Once we can get that radio pulled from a device we will be golden
[LG Thrill 4G] dincdoes.me:
Ok I don't know much about abd I know it says not to ask but if I installed my abd drivers to root with superonclick don't I have abd access? So theoreticaly speaking can't I run the cmd n get this to work if I'm wrong just pm me to avoid conflect but I really want a custom rom and have been exposed to the easy onclick stuff lol
[LG Thrill 4G] designgears:
superoneclick has its own adb. You still need to install adb.
[LG Thrill 4G] trentthompson:
Just Google adb for dummies it will show u everything u need to know.
[LG Thrill 4G] Cthater:
Hey DG how long do you think til there's a non adb method? Or are you not gonna bother?
[LG Thrill 4G] Gr8Danes:
Easiest thing I've found, is when using ADB and command prompt, just copy and paste DG's commands into command prompt in the order he stated, and you are good to go. Makes it so much easier than typing each character one at a time (with the chance for errors). Over all, ADB is pretty easy to use when the devs give you the commands.
[LG Thrill 4G] designgears:
Figure if people can't figure out ADB they should stay stock.
[LG Thrill 4G] assaace:
i did adb push and backup, then i trid to flash clockworkmod recovery, i got this message.

dd if=/data/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096

/data/recovery.img: cannot open for read: No such file or directory

please help me..
[LG Thrill 4G] Trekfan422991:
before you use the push command you need to make sure the recovery.img is in the root of the ADB Folder... or it wont push anything.. lol
[LG Thrill 4G] Cthater:
Oh I can figure out adb. That wasn't the issue. I was more curious if you were gonna make it easier for others so they stop asking you. I'm good either way. I've had CWM since you guys started poking around with it.
[LG Thrill 4G] assaace:
thanks, it works
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
maybe im just reading your post wrong, but you dont need to download adb again if you've already downloaded Superoneclick. You just need to redirect the cmd prompt to the superoneclick adb folder.

And a big thanks for the CWM recovery!
[LG Thrill 4G] gtg465x:
You could do that, but it's better to install it with the Android sdk and add it to your path so that it can be run from anywhere without having to navigate to a particular folder.
[LG Thrill 4G] shadrick:
i have only one problem if someone could help me. When i go to install the clockwork recovery it says that recovery.img is missing thats the last step and i cant figure out what i did wrong thanks i would appreciate the help
[LG Thrill 4G] 00mred00:
Exactly..

I will post up a generic how to in general tonight if I can get time....something easy to follow for those new to the process.

The instructions on the unlockr.com

Worked perfectly.

Got this all pushed last night, made a back up and flashed gtg's rom with no issues.

My time Warner connection on the other hand :/
[LG Thrill 4G] baudilus:
Did the push operation succeed in placing the recovery.img into the /data directory?
[LG Thrill 4G] shadrick:
OK i see my problem now I didn't place the recovery image on my phone I thought adb would grab the image off my computer and place it in my phone if what I am saying is wrong please tell me I'm not new to this but I'm not a programmer or developer thanks for the help when I completed the first step It just gave me a list of commands I can use in adb
[LG Thrill 4G] kurrptsenate:
Make sure you are using the USB cable that came with your phone. It matters.

If you can't get the push command to work, put the recovery on the root of the card after mounting your device. After a normal windows transfer, use something like root explorer and copy and paste the recovery to the desired folder.

The commands in ADB are really copy and paste
[LG Thrill 4G] aaaLT:
Cant we just flash the recovery? Like

adb push recovery.img /sdcard/recovery.img

adb shell

Su

Flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Right. But in windows its as simple as just creating a cmd shortcut that points to the adb folder making it a one-click (no pun intended) process. And on Linux I just copy adb to the root folder anyways so it can be run from anywhere.

My original point was just that for the purposes of pushing/pulling etc to the phone you wouldn't need the android Sdk which was in response to a question someone asked about whether they would need to download adb again in addition to oneclickroot.
[LG Thrill 4G] a2r3f:
So where can I copy my recovery.img file to. I can't get adb to run on my comp, want to have a recovery so I can flash a ROm.
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
You dont need adb to get the recovery.img file onto your phone. BUT you are still going to need adb to backup your current recovery and then install CWM. What OS are you running on your computer?
[LG Thrill 4G] a2r3f:
An old copy of XP I believe. Its quite antiquated compared to today's computers.
[LG Thrill 4G] david.eaton91:
I'm actually in the same boat I cannot get my cmd to push the recovery file. So I am trying to put it in place manually using root explorer but i do not know where to put the recovery.img im using xp as well. It seems when I try to push the file using command it just gives me all the adb commands as if it cant find the recovery.img to push...where should I be placing these...thanks in advanced
[LG Thrill 4G] MERK77:
HELP please

hey guys i am android fan and this is not my first android phone i have had the samsung captivate , HTC inspire , and i am using the dell streak all have been rooted and have installed clockwork mod using adb i know how to use it. here is what problem i am having when i hook up the THRILL to computer it finds the drivers and everything. i will place in order what i am doing below

1. phone is found and usb debugging is enabled

2. i went to the cmd and went to my platform-tools where adb is sitting

3 when i try to load recover to phone it says it cant find it i placed it in the sdk folder and in the platform-tools folder to make sure i am covered

4. i was reading you can just drag and drop the file on the sd card in the phone

5. i did adb shell all good

6. i type su and the phone asked for supeuser i click ok my phone is rooted

7. when i did back up it worked but when i try to flash recovery that does not work it says permission denied whats the deal i have tried it for 4 hrs last night i went to sleep 3 am lol and still was not able to fix it . i did rom manager and flashed optimus v clockwork mod but that does not have the option to install rom from sd so guys any help would be great again please take it easy on me im not a new to this i just cant figure out what the issue is i checked all over the web
[LG Thrill 4G] kiltedthrower:
This may sound lazy but I'd donate some bucks to someone who has gotten clockwork mod recovery on their phone to make a video/ tutorial.
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
The actual place you're putting the recovery.img file is the /data partition. If you're having issues use a root explorer and find your /data folder, long click it and you should get a menu that has an option called "permissions". Check all the R,W,E boxes. That was the problem I ran into trying to push recovery.img to the phone.
[LG Thrill 4G] MERK77:
thanks guys

got it all fixed and flashed dude once it was all done i had the phone up and running in like 5 mins and with the new rom sweet
[LG Thrill 4G] a2r3f:
Why can't I copy or move the stock recovery to a back up folder on SD card and move optimus recovery to /data?
[LG Thrill 4G] kiltedthrower:
I'm curious. I noticed that The Unlockr flashes and recovery image using an app called terminal. Can it not be done that way also?
[LG Thrill 4G] Trekfan422991:
So many newbs!!!! Lol

because there isnt a stock recovery.img to backup... Lol...
[LG Thrill 4G] kiltedthrower:
I give up. I can get multiple degrees in college but I can't get adb to work on my laptop. I've followed just about every site I can find and when I open a command prompt, all I get is adb is not recognized as an internal or external....

All that after spending a ton of time downloading all the SDK files and etc

I've even tried to follow theunlockr. Followed em to a 't' and even though I have the recovery.img on the root of my sd card, terminal can't find it.
[LG Thrill 4G] manske90:
to make it really simple (it's gotta be simple, because I am totally new at this too):

find your folder that your sdk is installed into, example C:\Android but it could be C:\Program Files\Android or something similar. make sure there is a folder inside that folder called android-sdk, and inside that is a folder called platform-tools, and that a file called adb.exe is inside of it

open your command prompt and type

cd C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\

(or whatever the path to that platform-tools folder is)

then type

adb commands

this should successfully give you a list of your commands.
[LG Thrill 4G] baudilus:
Edit - misread the question. I just added the adb directory to my system path, seemed easier.

Do a search on your PC for adb.exe, and when it is found, right click and choose "Open containing folder."

Copy the path from the address bar and the use the CD command as described above, but you can just paste the path so you don't make any typos.

I would say to just copy adb to c:, but I'm not sure if it has any dependencies.
[LG Thrill 4G] Urabewe:
READ THIS ALL THE WAY THROUGH BEFORE DOING ANYTHING.

Ok, first of all you need to download the .zip of the android sdk not the .exe extract that to c:\android. While the sdk is downloading to your computer on your phone use a ROOT explorer and long click on the /data folder THIS IS THE /DATA ON ROOT OF PHONE NOT IN /MNT/SDCARD OR _EXTERNAL IT MUST BE JUST /DATA, i think a few people are putting permissions on wrong data folder once at correct /data choose "permissions" check all 9 boxes and confirm changes. Now in windows explorer open the c:\android folder you just made and double click on the sdk manager. When it opens a window will pop up with things to install, just go ahead and install all the default checked options it will take a while to do be patient. You only need the platform tools but it doesnt hurt to just install it all. Once done, open a cmd prompt in windows. Type in "cd c:\android\platform-tools" without the quotes. Now type "adb" you should get a bunch of commands pop up this is good. Now put the recovery.img file in the platform tools folder. You should have a window explorer window already open at c:\android so double click on the "platform-tools" folder you will see adb, drag and drop or cut and paste the recovery.img folder inside of here. Now follow the instructions in first post you should be just fine from there. When you extract files in the beginning from the .zip they may go into another folder you may get c:\android\android-sdk-windows or something similar JUST MOVE IT ALL TO C:\ANDROID if it does that
[LG Thrill 4G] kiltedthrower:
Urabewe, much thanks! I feel much better about this phone now that I can use CWM on it.
[LG Thrill 4G] Hacksaw7:
Can someone tell me how to uninstall clockworkmod recovery and go back to stock I am going to go return this phone and get the SGII. I had renamed my mmcblk0p6.backup to recovery.img and went thru the same steps to try to get back to stock but it fails every time. I seems like it goes thru but when I go to restore to factory defaults it boots back into recovery mod. instead of restoring factory default of the stock rom. So It never goes back to the stock recovery using this method unless I am going something wrong.

I think I might be in need of a stock recovery because I think before I did the adb to clockworkmod recovery, I was in android and ran clockwork mod and it flashed the optomus v recovery I think. My mmcblk0p6.backup file is 10 megs is that the same size as everyones. If not can someone upload the stock recovery file that would be much appreciated.
[LG Thrill 4G] designgears:
Do this as root:

dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p6.backup of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096

-------------------

On a side note, figured out why adb reboot recovery and such don't work :)
[LG Thrill 4G] Trekfan422991:
This guy... Lol he is such a tease
[LG Thrill 4G] Hacksaw7:
Well I tried that too and it says it wrote file but it does same thing clockworkmod recovery is still present on the phone. Only thing I can figure is I got the backups and recovery messed up or confused over all the times I have done it and I now have a backup that is really a backup of the clockworkmod recovery instead of my stock one. If I could get another stock recovery from someone to try I could give it another try.

Thanks designgears for the help
[LG Thrill 4G] clbick3:
Okay, I downloaded recovery.img. It finishes downloading. It is now in my downloads. I go to command prompt. My phone is connected. USB debugging is on. Drivers are installed correctly. ADB is installed correctly. This is what I get:

C:\Windows>cd..

C:\>adb push recovery.img /data

cannot stat 'recovery.img' : No such file or directory

I have tried this with sd card mounted and unmounted. Terribly frustrating....please help. Thanks.
[LG Thrill 4G] designgears:
Bolded the important parts for ya :D
[LG Thrill 4G] californiarailroader:
This worked great, thank you!
[LG Thrill 4G] clbick3:
So your saying it should be "C:\Downloads>adb push recovery.img /data" instead because that's where the image is located?
[LG Thrill 4G] adrianp89:
This was very easy just make sure all the files need are with in the same folder as platform tool ;)
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Where is your adb located? Exact file path. (open cmd and cd to that exact location).

Where is your recovery.img located?

(put it in the same folder you have adb in. Otherwise you have to specify its location when doing adb push (which in your case would be adb push C:\downloads\recovery.img /data/)

You want to adb push FROM the directory where adb is, not from where recovery.img is (unless they're in the same folder).
[LG Thrill 4G] clbick3:
I actually ended up giving up on pushing it with command prompt and just used root explorer....anyways I got it flashed. Thanks for all the replies anyway even though I didn't take your advice! :p
[LG Thrill 4G] jeffsmith01:
I'm having the same problem, but I do not know how to set permission on /data to allow me to push the recovery.img. please help?
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Get estrongs file explorer from the market. Then long press on /data, select 'properties' and you will have an option to change permissions. Root Explorer can also do this, but estrongs is free.
[LG Thrill 4G] jeffsmith01:
Thanks, that worked!
[LG Thrill 4G] robertmoore208:
Any word, on an actual app...

hi is there any word on an actual app being released for clockwork? also i was wondering if everything worked when i install this? full wipe, backup?:cool:

Yo Dg I have a bricked thrill friend bricked it do you have a one click or Odin package?
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Check the optimus 3d forums. I think they have something for that over there.

How did you brick it? The instructions are pretty fool proof even if you mess up.

Can't backup stock rom, anyone else having this problem? When I do a backup it starts then reboots.

Scared to flash thriller Rom.

--------------------------
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
I had that happen to me once. Also DO NOT try to backup with the phone plugged in...I had a couple bad backups from doing so. Just a word of caution.
[LG Thrill 4G] lil2good20:
Thx
[LG Thrill 4G] entropism:
Tried to make a backup tonight, and the phone rebooted every time. First few times were after about 15-30 seconds, a few times after a minute, once it got about 75% through the progress bar.

Edit: Phone wasn't plugged in
[LG Thrill 4G] Aderas:
With GTG's return to stock. is there really a point in making a backup now?
[LG Thrill 4G] entropism:
When you're swapping between a stable Thriller and an unstable CM7 to get logcats and errors for Arcee to test, then yes, there is. :p
[LG Thrill 4G] Aderas:
but for the average user. I am a bit on the noob side so im a little worried about the adb process. dont wanna kill it by accident.
[LG Thrill 4G] :
Is there any way that you could release a version of this with removed Partition Manager and Fix Permissions. Because I'm afraid that I will accidentally hit the button things and screw it up lol.
[LG Thrill 4G] clown_luv:
I have no idea what he did but its bricked and needs the firmware reflashed is there a one click in the optimistic forums. But my question is will that work because I would assume the kernels are different correct me if I'm wrong though
[LG Thrill 4G] Spartoi:
Has anyone managed to get adb working while in recovery? I keep get "error: device not found" when I try to use adb shell. I have USB debugging on before I booted into recovery and my laptop makes that 'usb connected' sound, but I'm unable to run any commands or mount the usb storage. I wasn't sure if this is what DG was talking about in the how to enable adb section, but I tried it anyways but these two parts made lost.

There are more than 2 exe files in that .zip and my LGE Android Composite Device doesn't have a yellow triangle on it (its installed fine).
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Its working fine for me. Try rebooting your computer maybe? If not try reinstalling the drivers.
[LG Thrill 4G] Spartoi:
Can you upload your drivers for me or tell me where you download yours from?
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
What OS are you running?

[LG Thrill 4G] kotaro_14:
I just googled LG Thrill 4G driver download and found it there. I'll give you the link if I find it again.

EDIT: Here http://www.lg.com/us/products/documents/LGAndroidDriver_Ver_1.0_All.exe
[LG Thrill 4G] Spartoi:
Still didn't work. I'll try the method in the OP once DG lets me know which .exe I should be installing.
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
I think those are the wrong drivers in that link. Try these:

http://www.lg.com/us/support/mc-support/drivers/LG _USB _Drivers_All_4.9.7.zip

Those are the drivers for LG's ATT phones. Im running Ubuntu so I have no way to actually verify any of this. The only computer I have running Windows is my Media PC and its not easily accessible to hook up a usb cord to try and get it working on that machine (keep it up in a closet :rolleyes: )
[LG Thrill 4G] Spartoi:
Still didn't work.

This actually stopped my Thrill from connecting to my laptop until I installed two files from LG's software updater.

EDIT:

I noticed something peculiar. In Device Managers, there is a tab called ADB that appears when I connect the phone via USB while it is on. This tab only appears while the phone is on and when the phone is in recovery.
