Standing by patiently.

Right now I have to learn how to get it to stop recovering to stock whenever it powers off, which I believe you did yourself.

The more I learn, the more I can make 'droids do what I want them to. :cool:

And you seem to be getting more and more like a "real dev" from working on this!

---------- Post added 27th February 2012 at 12:31 AM ---------- Previous post was 26th February 2012 at 11:56 PM ----------

Aced.

I'm new to Android but not to open-source development. If something you want done isn't already being done (thanks to someone else), you make it happen.

Don't know how? Educate yourself like our misterfamilyguy has.

Don't have time? Find a way to support whoever is doing the work. Were there a literary prize for capturing one's alienated angst over their smartphone not being popular with all the cool dev kids on the varsity team, whining might have some value. There isn't.

If we C800s want a recovery and ROMs, we have to do what it takes.

Devs work on phones they use, or their family or s/o uses. If no "real devs" are so motivated, we have to make it as easy and rewarding for one to work on the C800.

How?

Compile all the info and files a dev needs so it's all convenient.

Place a bounty by committing to donate if a recovery is made. Maybe offer to collectively buy one committed dev a C800.

Offer to test for them, at the risk of your own handset.

Last, but not least, show a good attitude that a dev would appreciate working with.

Rather than have to buy another phone, I'm willing to pony up $80 to whoever produces a working custom recovery that lets me flash the current Cyanogen Mod to my C800.

Restore LG MyTouch (not Q) Stock Rom

I wanted to share my experience with the rest of the group here. I had rooted my phone (LG MyTouch (not Q) and installed ClockworkMod Recovery with Rom Manager. I saved my stock rom and went on my happy way. Later I experienced problems with the CM7 build and wanted to revert back to the stock LG rom. Working through Rom Manager I discovered that the restore would not be complete and would reboot the phone before it had a chance to finish the restore of the system. This would result in a segmented screen alternating in white bars. Multiple attempts to restore the stock rom would fail. Unfortunately, there is not a way to boot into recovery with the hardwired keys. Trial and error and some help from this thread I finally restored my phone to stock with root.

Here is how I did it.

Instructions if your are in a boot loop or the phone will not boot into the stock rom.

Download the LG USB drivers from LG so your phone will have USB debugging capabilities and ADB access.

Plug your phone into the laptop or desktop and run the command prompt.

Navigate to the SDK "platform-tools" directory and type in "adb devices" to see if your computer sees the phone. You might have to do this a couple of times.

Next type "adb reboot recovery" . This will get you into ClockworkMod Recovery.

Restore the last working rom (CM7).

When your rom is working, turn on USB file transfer and navigate to your sdcard. There is a post several pages back that explains how to get the stock rom to restore by deleting the .android_secure file. Android_secure removal link. Also a Md5 checksum error may throw, there is also a post in another thread for a different phone that will correct this error by removing the Md5. Md5 fix link.

This is the key! Restoring from Rom Manager will always not completely restore your back up of the stock LG rom. You must enter the Recovery by either holding the power button down and choosing reboot into recovery or the adb method.

Instructions for normal working phone you just want to go back to stock.

Remove the .android_secure file in the clockworkmod/backup/"yoursavedrom". Replace yoursavedrom with the name you gave it or the date Rom Manager gave it when you backed it up.

Follow the instructions above to remove the Md5 checksum file.

For those that do not have a back up of the stock rom here is the link that is buried back a few pages back. I used it to repair my back up. It works as downloaded. It is a very big file! LG MyTouch Stock Rom (E739 Not Q).

xBangx's instructions on stock rom

Boot into recovery and choose Manage and Restore backups,

choose your file to restore.

Give thanks to stevecaboose and XbangX for their hard work and love for the android phone! They have been a very useful source of information.

One last thing. I do know that all this is in the thread. But it is not in one place. I hope this helps anyone needing this. BTW, I'm not saying that the CM7 build is bad. Just unstable right now. It is working well enough to be a daily driver.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vxbinaca:
Can we get all the Q people into another thread so it'll be updated once a week with "nope, nothing yet"?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alexriio:
I helped too . By helping go back to stock by giving instructions of removing android secure file.i should have thanks too..jk im just happy to go back to stock and helping :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vxbinaca:
Not me.

Hi, welcome to Android deving.

Unlike other phones that are decent and give access to stuff, LG cheats and doesn't release code or stock images so you can restore the phone. This makes development akin to that scene in "Deerhunter" where DeNero is playing russian roulette while being egged on by Viet Cong.

One bad compile. A typo. One mistakenly removed app, and you brick or ruin the phone with no hope of recovery (mine is unstable due to tinkering). Misterfamily guy had to buy a new phone since he screwed up the one he tried to flash his last failed recovery to. Out of contract MTQ is $300. I'm not made of money, you sure aren't and he isn't. THAT is why progress is so slow with this phone. It's LG's fault for giving us no out to restore to stock (and that doesn't mean a settings wipe, it means like it was when i unboxed it).

So cut it out with the "DIY or go home" speech. Let's see you gamble $300 on one command or a some code you compiled.

How to boot into recovery using hardware keys: (this was posted earlier in this thread)

1. remove battery and count to 11

2. replace battery

3. hold volume down and power for 3 seconds

4. release power while still holding volume down and press the back and options buttons until recovery loads (5 to 10 seconds)

If it fails start over at step 1.

I've always used the adb method, but this works also.

I have restored from this about 7 times and only had it reboot on me once..

When doing restore goto advanced restore and restore one by one .

I restore Boot,Cache,Data then System...

Just a suggestion but the lg-e739 is just called LG myTouch. The myTouch 4G is made by HTC. I think this will help avoid confusion. Maybe even call the thread "LG myTouch (e739)" would be even better...

yes

you erased everything having nothing to go back to when you hit reboot. you shouldve had a stock back up to go back to. always when rooting and messing with thses phones have a stock backup rom to go back too always.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mistere372002:
I experienced the same issues. You will need to boot into recovery manually. Using Rom manager will hang you up. Also the file you used must not have the .android_secure file in. Good luck.

Mine did something similar. It was with my modem though. Phone went to a screen with a bunch of text on it. It said it failed. Happened twice. I don't know if it was related but i was running that v6 supercharger script. I undid the script yesterday. I'm going to see if it happens again. It never did that until i ran the script. I had to pull the battery too. I'm OCd to 1200.

Glad the system/app worked for you dragn. :-).

Ubermario I believe the root process will be the same on any version of superoneclick. I've came across another way of rooting on another forum. You might want to google that.

As for gaining access to bootloader I've yet to figure this out. I've tried using root booter to boot into it, phone reboots and stays stuck on lg logo. Also I know on the mytouch q to do a hard factory reset we have to hold power and volume along with the a and f keys.

I think we will need to use the keyboard to gain access to bootloader on the Q.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mindstate:
Oh just noticed the screenshot tip. Funny thing I had done this on accident and I was wonder how the heck I did it lol. Thanks for the tip it works great. Love this phone
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blackdragn:
You should use superclick 2.2 because 2.3 doesnt work without the adb commands as stated on the first post so might as well stick with a surefire solution. Secondly, i tried to boot into the bootloader by sending the bootloader command using adb on the computer. i did that and it rebooted the phone to a state where it stayed on a black screen...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunu:
Ok. Thanks.

What apps are safe to remove? A list would be nice for newcomers.

Also I did a little testing with multitouch visualizer. My past few phones had trouble with 2 fingers at the same time but this phone can do 3 with no problems and it gets a little wonky at 4 but still WWWWAAAYYYY better than my previous phones.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blackdragn:
In post 38, I've made a list of apps you CAN remove so far and I haven't had a stability issue yet.

Furthermore, DO NOT remove the app "LiveSource." When I removed this app, I have an issue where if someone were to call me when my phone screen is off, I don't receive the call at all. The call goes through as if it would normally ring, but my phone does not react.

As a result, I'm unsure whether I should remove the following

Cozi-tab-tmobile

ECID-release

MobileBackup

If you guys try this and have no issues, please let me know.

Additionally, I would NOT recommend removing any of these following apps

LGHomeScreenTip

LGSetupWizard

LGTutorialsFAQ

When I removed those three (once again I'm not sure which one is causing the problem) every time I restart my phone, when the phone loads up, it gives a com.phone.android error. Furthermore, after I did a full factory reset, I would have an issue of the android OS ALWAYS reinstalling itself every time I reboot the phone.

So if you guys plan to try to remove any of those apps one at a time and test it and you don't have an issue with it, please post and keep me updated so I will update my post accordingly.

I was using titanium backup to freeze the apps, however, I guess it was having issues freezing the LiveSource (I'm guessing because it was a crucial app) and so it just got stuck and went haywire. As a result, I just decided to delete apps instead of freezing them.

Noobie Rooter mistake

So guys i really need some help. i rooted my phone and got uninstall happy. the phone worked fine until i tried to do a system update then all &#@$ broke loose and com.android.phone started force closing. i was rooted and using the phone for about two weeks. so i factory reset and then i got the black screen. so i used the mic with button trick to get my gmail account on and got a launcher which fixed the problem. but then i tried to push the system apps back into the phone using someone's backups but i fear that i've ruined the OS even more seeing as he was using a myTouch Q. i have the non-keyboard myTouch. After facroty reseting to try and fix the inital problem now i get endless FCs.

can anyone with the E739 do a system dump/copy that i can test? well now i'm not even sure if i'll even be able to use it but giving people a fall back would be nice. I would also like to help getting the LG myTouch it's own division
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blackdragn:
Alright, so first things first, I think that LG has a phone support that might possibly be able to restore your phone. I tried it but it didn't have the option for my phone. However, you might have luck. I believe the program is called LGMobileSupport Tool. Once you installed it, click the customer support tab at the top and click recovery and type in your imei. It should recognize your phone and may be able to do a restore to fix your android OS. If that doesn't work, then I see you said you tried to push the files back onto your phone. But did you set the permissions for each file? If you didn't, then those apps that you removed WON'T install. You MUST fix the permissions. See my post above (post 45) and try to make sure you follow that. I believe the com.phone.android FC was something to do with removing one of the LG apps, i think the LG initial setup app, I can't quite remember. Since I dont' have a MyTouch, I really can't help too much but looking at them online, they seem to be similar to each other, so hopefully the files should work. If not, hopefully someone on this forum might be able to make you a copy of it for you. Good luck and just post your update as you work through it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunu:
I looked at both your posts and put in the correct info but it still doesn't work. I'll try my old SIM and see if data works with that.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Whitewolv:
LGE739

So i tried the LG support tool but said S/W was not supported so i called LG and they can't help. The only problem i'm having now is an endless loop of FC that wont let me do anything. I tried fixing the permissions and i gave User: RW and rest just Read. but that seemed to make things worse. I don't know how to get ADB working again if the phone won't let me get into settings to enable debugging.

Initially i went to music and tried to download an app via "share" when i long press on a song and loading my Gmail. but now gmail is also FCing on me. i don't know what's going on!

Can adb still be used or can debugging be enabled externally?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunu:
This is why I am hoping for a custom recovery soon. You can try adb but my previous phones had a custom recover and/or fastboot working so I was never in your shoes. Good luck!

I talked to T-Mobile about my data issues and they found the problem so it's all good. I also been trying out games like GTA III. The game runs fine except right after the very first mission, the game freezes. I mean the game freezes and then my phone completely freezes so I have to do a battery pull. Any suggestions on good games that will look good on this screen? I tried NOVA 1 but it looked weird on this screen's resolution.

UPDATE:

SuperOneClick v2.3.3

"LG devices no longer need to use alternate ADB"
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Whitewolv:
so i was able to re-enable Debugging using the ONLY app that worked on the phone that i has previously removed lol the Genius Car Mode and said OPEN SETTINGS haha i was like omg thats so simple but it worked im now back on ADB with superuser privilages! now i just need someone to tell me how and What permissions to give the "System" apps.

Thanks in advance for your advice!!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mindstate:
Try overkill ..pretty decent shooter and works well on this phone
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blackdragn:
Well, then your best bet is to ask around for a backup of the system/app section and copy those files back into your own system/app section. Once you do that, then change the permissions, and then do a full factory restore. The permissions for each apk and obex file should be owner read, owner write, and the other 2 should be read only. You can check your other files that you know that you didn't delete for sure and it should be exactly that. I'm assuming that the files for the mytouch q are incompatible with the mytouch then :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Here is my system/app for the LG myTouch (E739). It is not stock but everything is working on my phone. I can't remember what I removed but I believe I removed the bejeweled and tetris game that came pre-installed. Push the APKs that you need and set the permissions.
