[LG Thrill 4G] :
I just flashed CWM and am going to install Thriller, but should I reflash the old manager before or if I return the phone? Because I might be exchanging it for either an SG2 or the Infuse tomorrow. Is there a way to do this? Or should I not worry? Also will unrooting it now screw it up or what? Thank you very much for this rom though, I'm so glad somebody is working on something for this phone. !

I flashed CWM recovery (for P920) via Rom manager, recovery normally boot, reboot, backup and restore, etc, but I don't try install zip.

Tell me please should i have re-flashed with this method or recovery may work properly (install zip)?

My phone is Rogers LG O3D P925G (unlocked).

UPD: All functions of CWM Recovery working!

Nandroid backups/ CWM backups don't work.

i keep trying to get this on my rooted thrill but all i keep getting is "failed to copy 'recovery.img' to '/data/recovery.img' : Permission denied" what am i doing wrong??? Please Help!!
[LG Thrill 4G] ookami614:
ok so i finally got it installed but when i go to try to install thriller, i only have a bunch of wipe options but nothing that says install from sd card, everything is also in blue, what do i do to fix this?
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
You need to change permissions for /data and make sure the screen is unlocked when you type 'su' in adb so you can accept the superuser permission. Just go back through the cwm steps with those two tips and you should get it.

Sounds like you still have the stock tecovery by your next post.
[LG Thrill 4G] :
Are backups not working or did I do something wrong?
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Ive had a couple not work for me. But thats out of the dozens ive made that have worked. Yes i soft brick alot while testing :p
[LG Thrill 4G] :
Mine never work, it always shuts off in the middle of backing up.

Update: It was something with the Thriller rom, I'm using CM7 now.
[LG Thrill 4G] latinohot:
i have the same problem as you, and no-one seems to want to help us noobs:(

I thought i had followed all the steps, but i must have been missing some, 'cause now i'm running thriller, awesome work btw, thank-s

i just saw that i now have tethering available, that's a big plus for me
[LG Thrill 4G] kleeman7:
The only problem I had with the guide is it didn't mention to set

/data to read / write. To do so I used root explorer long press data, select permissions and check all under top section. If you are in CWM it will be light blue and be very similar to this google image.
[LG Thrill 4G] tpma4life:
So I am not doubting I am a newb, however I know I configured ADB and everything correctly. When I try to adb push the file however, it tells me permission denied. What's wrong?

I also did mount it as r/w so I don't think it's that.

Got it, sorry. My bad. I didn't have "other" set to R/W was my issue.
[LG Thrill 4G] benpwarner:
same here

I also keep getting permission denied and i can make adb work on my Dinc 1 and 2, the fascinate, and my xperia play so i know i have it configured right. any help would be nice, thanks
[LG Thrill 4G] kleeman7:
On your phone set /data to read, write. To do so I used root explorer long press data, select permissions and check all under top section

So I take it this will never be finished by DG?
[LG Thrill 4G] errcks:
how did you get this version of CWM. Mine is 5.0.2.0 i believe. I am wondering if this is why I cant get thriller rom to load.
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Re-read the post. He doesn't have the version pictured ;)
[LG Thrill 4G] AzraelsVoice:
Guys I have run into a problem. I think someone else posted a similar issue, and I didn't see if it fit resolved. Yes I read the entire 14 pages lol. I installed cwm and thriller over a month ago, no problem works great. I went to use adb and it doesn't recognize my phone being connected. I tried the method to enable access that's in the first post, but I don't have the triangle in device manager. Any suggestions?
[LG Thrill 4G] Urabewe:
Its a long shot but you could try put adbwireless from market. It allows to connect to a device using wireless. You turn it on from your phone, then it gives you an IP: PORT you then go to you pc and in cmd type in "adb connect IP: PORT" adb should connect and you can use as usual.

No space in the ip port part I have to put it in there or it makes them emoticons...
[LG Thrill 4G] AzraelsVoice:
Thanks, I'll give it a try when I get off work!
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Try the method above. I actually use adb wireless a lot.

On a side note, this is also why I use Ubuntu instead of windows for everything with my phone. I never have any issues and if you don't want to install Ubuntu you can always run it from a CD or USB and the Ubuntu website has full instructions on how to do so.
[LG Thrill 4G] AzraelsVoice:
Well so much for my bright idea. Since I don't have wifi at home (yeah I live in the sticks lol) I was going to turn on my hot spot and do it that way, but adbwireless requires the actual wifi on the device to be turned on. That sucks. Think I'll look into the Ubuntu method. How complicated are the commands as opposed to windows? Or is there a difference?
[LG Thrill 4G] Urabewe:
Man that sucks, yeah adbwireless uses your network to setup the adb server on phone. If you have any old router that is wireless it doesn't need to actually have a net connection, just turn it on and connect both your pc and phone to the wireless router so they are on the same network and you should be able to use it. Should still get a network ip.

I don't know how many people are like me but over the years I have amassed quite the wifi router collection...

With Linux/Ubuntu the adb commands will be exactly the same, as far as terminal vs cmd some commands are the same some are different. Shouldn't be too much of a learning curve if you know a good amount of dos commands it makes the transition easier. Also setting up the SDK is a bit different but there are plenty of tutorials that will give you copy n paste commands.

PROTIP: To copy and paste in terminal you use ctrl+shift+c to copy, ctrl+shift+v to paste. To stop an operation in terminal instantly you press ctrl+c.

If you sre unfamiliar with linux and the partition structure needed for it to install then use the WUBI installer. It will basically make ubuntu a "program" installed in windows. You will get the same functionality as a dual boot systen without having to worry about accidental formatting of your windows drive. It will run a bit slower this way but is safer until you learn enough to actually install.

People who move to linux don't read anything first and either bunk uo their windows partition and blame linux when it is their fault or they get it installed and take one look and never give it a chance. It is going to be different and unfamiliar at first, once you get used to it you will see how much more intuitive the linux OS is. Have fun, BE CAREFUL and if you need any help PM me and I will help you get it all setup and walk you through whatever you might need help with.
[LG Thrill 4G] AzraelsVoice:
I thought about that. Unfortunately when I last moved, because there isn't DSL available here, I got rid of three routers. I'm regretting that right now.
[LG Thrill 4G] Urabewe:
I am a electronics pack rat, if it plugs in and seems remotely useful, I keep it. I mean how many routers, switches, monitors, towers, drives etc does one person really need?
[LG Thrill 4G] AzraelsVoice:
I used to have a room that, if you got bored, you could walk into and build a computer and God knows what else. But as much as I love electronics, I hate moving more lol
[LG Thrill 4G] Urabewe:
I hear ya, I have some pretty cool stuff that I can't throw out. Like a full POS system from a store I did a job at, it runs windows has all needed ports and is touchscreen. So if I really wanted I could set that up and have a touchscreen PC then mount it on lets say the kitchen counter and it would look just like a little kiosk or whatever because it has all the plastic covering and what not. Maybe I will take a pic and post it not here though, kind of off topic. I also have telephone equipment and just random oddities I can never part with. Also I try to keep everything already packed up that way when I move, all I do is load it up.
[LG Thrill 4G] AzraelsVoice:
Finally, it's working! Ended up completely uninstalling then reinstalling, then it connected just fine. *shrugs*

Awesome, glad to hear it.

Can I do this off my phone using esfile explore, I did something like the on the ex infuse phone I had and did it on the phone any help would be nice thanks can I just flash recovery using rom manager I see LGE optimus v there will that work
[LG Thrill 4G] cisco150:
Sorry if this has been answer before and I read all pages here. I'm at work board out of my mind so trying to flash a Tom here without a computer but need cwm on phone thanks again
[LG Thrill 4G] AzraelsVoice:
Hate to give the bad news, but as far as I know, adb is the only way to do it on the thrill.
[LG Thrill 4G] Urabewe:
Which is odd, if rom manager can flash a recovery, why don't they give you the option to choose a recovery.img yourself and flash that? If it can download and flash one it can certainly pull from sdcard and flash.... hmmmmm
[LG Thrill 4G] cisco150:
Man I was hoping to flash a rom at work lol
[LG Thrill 4G] AzraelsVoice:
It really is odd. I'm not completely sure why it can't. But apparently the thrill was a Major Payne to put cwm on to begin with. This is why I have my laptop with me at work at all times. I usually just download to my phone and transfer later, but for urgent gotta haves, there's the laptop.

If the pro version can how come nobody has suggested this to anyone when adb doesn't work? I dunno

Good question. Would have helped me a lot the other day.

Hello me again, I tried use rom manager premium and no go. I got home about 6am from work and did the adb way and it worked.

[LG Thrill 4G] mikeeey:
I can't seem to flash Clockwork, using ADB or Rom Manager. I've set permissions to /data to R/W, still getting the "failed to copy recovery.img permission denied". Here's a quote from a thread I made:
[LG Thrill 4G] Urabewe:
What you want to do is set PERMISSIONS not r/w, long press on the /data folder and change the permission, when you do a box will pop up and make sure all 9 boxes are check marked. Then you should be in business
[LG Thrill 4G] mikeeey:
So it looks like it was as simple as me looking over the permissions and thinking I saw everything was checked, but really the two checks from the left under "other" were grayed out lol, checking those fixed it.
[LG Thrill 4G] solitaire4eva:
Okay I have tried every step from the OP over and over again. Everything seems like it is copying correctly but I never reboot into clockwork. I have tried to use Rom Manager about 15 times and still no luck. This is a copy of my console output:

[LG Thrill 4G] foreverzero89:
so i've done evrything ike it says, but whe ni try to flash it says there is nor such file or directory. i coudnt do the push command so i put it in the data folder myself. need help.

one question: why is there never a clear and concise set od directions on how to do any of these things? iv'e done rooting and flashing recoveries and roms and kernels on two other androind phones but every time there is nevr one place that has all the info on how to do it. anyone know why this is so? it is frusrating at ther least.
[LG Thrill 4G] Trekfan422991:
These instructions worked for everyone else... please make sure of a few things though... make sure your device is being recognized before doing commands otherwise it will not work. Period. You can do this by typing "adb devices" in advanced command.... if you see a device with a bunch of digits then it is being recognized and your commands should work so ling as they are entered correctly...

I'm not trying to be degrading or anything but come on we got plenty of pol on here who got it to work... so just go back see where it fails and make sure of all basic things...

if anyone still needs one on one help please feel free to chat me on Google+ just pm ur gmail address and I will walk you through it

Thanks Trekfan422991! There was something that I didn't see from browsing and that is to boot into clockwork you have to hold down the 3D button and Volume down button while pressing the power button....

I ain't got shame so it don't bother me to say I had the thing installed for over 2 hours and didn't even know it lol...

Thanks again!

As for the permission problems I was having with the folder, I just went into adb shell and after su command I did : chmod 777 data

and that let me write to the directory. Yea I know using root explorer is easier lol

[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
You have to add permissions to /data. Otherwise adb returns permission denied.

I'm starting to think people are not reading the original post all the way through before beginning the process.
[LG Thrill 4G] foreverzero89:
i've read the OP about 6 times now, it says nothing about that. nor does it say how to add permissions.

wow i just figured ot out, you must type /sdcard before the /data. OP you might want to change it!
[LG Thrill 4G] Trekfan422991:
haha OP is long gone... sorry i never got back to you in g+ i added u thats as far as i got

i just used root explorer to copy the zip to system/media

Make sure it is named bootanimation.zip after downloading

Boot animation Motorola/Nvidia #1

Download

Boot animation Motorola/Nvidia #2

No video of this animation yet make sure to rename to bootanimation.zip

Download

I will be adding more as time permits

Just want to add, I modified the first Animation to have the Nvidia piece kick in a litter faster. As my phone starts pretty quick, and having the Motorola animation run 4-5 times before the Nvidia animation, my phone would start before I saw the Nvidia tegra animation.

[Motorola Photon 4G] bondarun:
You have to Root your Photon 4g 1st...

Just follow this site and follow the steps to Root your Phone..

Its so Simple... Just a Click of a button you have your Photon Rooted..

Make sure you enable Android Debugging and Allow Unknown Source in Apps settings..

Root

After than, Just paste the Bootanimation.zip folder in your sd card or internal storage.

( You have to Rename it to bootanimation.zip )

Then Use Root Explorer and go into System/media and paste it over there..

When you get Permission Request on Superuser click Allow..

Thats all..

Reboot and Enjoy your New Boot Animation.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Elliott:
That would be simple if it were not already rooted. (Root checker verified)

After installing your animation I found another I wanted to try out, however yours seems to be here for the long haul.

I've even gone as far as deleting the animation zip entirely and then rebooting, with no luck. Is there some back up that it draws from in the case that the files are not present?

Honestly I keep expecting your animation to say " Resistance is futile".. :eek: Any ideas?

The early bird may get the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese... :D

Have you tried just replacing it with the other boot animation your wanting to use and changing permissions using root explorer. I never had any issues changing the animation

Good job on this man. I was reading thru the posts and saw some were having issues with permissions so before I copied over the new Boot Animation .zip file, I checked the permissions of the original and after copying over I made sure the new one had the same.
