Dude,

We don't have a working recovery for the mytouch q (c800). I've been working on it for about 2 weeks, but doesn't look like its going to happen because I can't get it to stop flashing over the recovery. We basically don't have any help from any real devs, so your mistake was trying to flash the recovery.

Just root, install a different Home program, and install titanium to uninstall all the t-mobile bloat, its pretty decent then.

What is the highest it is safe to overclock because I have my e739 at 1.2ghz but I don't want to kill my processcer and the kernal let me go up to 1.5ghz
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shux11:
I'm a little new to the smart phone industry. But very techy and a fast learner. I have rooted my phone and removed a lot of the bloatware. All I really want to do now is overclock a bit and I see you havethe kernal and it seems to be working. Could someone please explained to me how to install the overclocking kernal. I have see people say they have used setcpu but I don't see how when the Max it lets you overclock to is already at the 1 ghz. Any help would be muchly appreciated.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sharik21:
You have to download the cm7 nightly for the phone and the kernal is in side of the rom
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sharik21:
The link for our phone is in the forum like two pages back just download and flash it
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shux11:
Alright I will find the link but yeah I don't know how to flash it or anything and what precautions I should take
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sharik21:
Just watch YouTube video and download rom manger
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shux11:
Thank you I was hoping there was something like that
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Empero6:
Don't forget to always make a back up first, just in case
[Miscellaneous Android Development] picotrain:
Count me in!

I am still quite new to this, having rooted my LG E739 mytouch just yesterday, but I am very willing to contribute to get some dev action happening with this phone.

Just an observation

I attempted to use dd to flash a e730/mytouch (e739?) recovery image to my mytouch Q (c800) phone but the recovery does not boot up, as described before, I'm thinking/wondering if this has do to with the fact that the stock c800 recovery image is ~8mb and the e730/e739? image is only ~4mb?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Voyager440:
Thanks for the quick reply. I realize that this phone is bricked. I'm not so worried about the Clockwork Mod Recovery at this point, although that would be nice, as I am interested in seeing if I can get this bricked phone back to factory restore. I saw some youtube postings on how to force a phone into download mode using a "Jig device" that gets plugged into the Micro USB port of the phone. Do you guys know if LG MyTouch Q (C800) is capable of a forced download mode that would keep the phone connected and recognized in ADB?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] trd360:
Wondering the same because I want to try out SetCPU
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dubbaa:
I have used both the built-in overclocking in CM7 and SetCPU with the e739. I have clocked it all the way to 1.5 ghz with no problem. It has been running at 1.5 now for a few days. But like with any overclocking (whether phone or pc) your mileage will vary.

Just try different speeds and if the phone becomes unstable or you see many "force close" app boxes then you will know yours can handle that speed. Simple as that...

I made a backup of my stock rom before installing cm7 and I can confirm that I was able to go back to stock several times using cwm recovery.

Have you tried underclocking to save battery? How low did you go if you underclocked like during times when the screen is off

[Miscellaneous Android Development] edgie13:
Use setcpu. It allows you to make a profile that lowers your Mhz automatically when the screen is off and raise it when the screen is on. It also can lower it when tbe battery is low to conserve charge. Just google setcpu.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alexriio:
I get md5 mismatch cause I took out android secure from the backup file. Do I need that file to go back to stock? Or if I don't need that file.can I just fix md5 mismatch with adb and will it work.and go back to stock
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dubbaa:
Sorry but no I didn't try to underclock.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] FireMedicDave:
This kernel doesn't allow undervolting. I wrote the Dev who is posting the kernel and asked if he can add it. My battery is draining pretty fast too but I'm not too concerned personally. I'm just glad to get cm7. This phone was too slow the first day i had it. It was already lagging and getting stuck.

If the kernel could support underclocking that'd be awesome.

My old phone had more battery life than my current E739 and it's hard for me to adjust.

Hello again.. I could use a little help. I downgraded the software on my glacier mytouch 4g and rooted it using the steps from the wiki. Not sure where to go from there.

I have mine overclocked at 1.5 and the battery is noticeably shorter. I don't see too much of a performance boost either.

c800s

c800 users.

I found two more bits of info for things i'm gunna try. Basically editing the stock images' init files to try to get it to boot.

We have two lines in the stock init.rc and fota.rc that I THINK are making the phone look for a stock file before it'll boot the recovery. I'm not sure if editing these will do any good at all, i'm not sure if it'll just brick.

I do have a term project to work on this week, and some other stuff, so it might take me all week to try these out. Of course, it may just be a waste of time like everything else i've tried so far.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] FireMedicDave:
That's a real bummer! I wish the two phones were just interchangeable and all of these problems were just solved. Good luck to ya!!!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] dubbaa:
Do you still need those files or did the other post help?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Brendantron:
Until you took the time to try what you already have, we had a wider field of wrong approaches staring us unloved C800s in the face. You have effectively sniped off several of them, so we have less and less standing between us and the right approach.

All us C800s here should thank you for being the best among us.

Our E739s cousins managed to get an experienced hardware dev to help them, thus all the running around with their fancy CM7 goodness. This thread is a mess, but maybe if we can pool together and place a bounty on making a CWM recovery for the C800, we can get a "real dev" too! (Though misterfamilyguy's "fake" deving is just as real if it gets results)

---------- Post added at 07:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 AM ----------

Filesize may or may not turn out to be "the thing" thwarting efforts with the C800, but with several of us collaborating, each adding observations, our chances of success are much better. With tech, it can all come down to the smallest, strangest details...

Go Qs! :D

---------- Post added at 07:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 AM ----------

Your E739 has gotten a CWM recovery ported. But you could help some worthy dev by chipping in a little for your C800 brand-mates... ;)

---------- Post added at 07:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 AM ----------

Could you link to the video? If "forced download" mode can force the CWM port to the recovery partition (and there's enough room in there for it) it just seems like that HAS to work. Buying special hardware sucks, but we have to get momentum going somehow to attract developer attention to our phone.

---------- Post added at 08:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 AM ----------

Possibly unrelated, but I've got my C800 auto-recovering every time I power back on. But I've looked everywhere for the key-combo to get recovery mode going. Vol.Up + Power, Vol.Down + Power are the typical ones and did nothing for this slider. Thanks! We need to compile this info to make working on the C800 more attractive for a dev.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dubbaa:
I feel for you c800 guys. We e739 guys definitely got lucky we could build on the work of the e730 developer. I actually waited until I saw a separate e739 build was available before buying the phone even though I have been eyeing it for some time now.

It is only a matter of time before you get your own cm build. I don't know how helpful I can be but I will try as best I can.

CWM Restore Failed

Hey guys can anyone help me out? I am trying to get back to my stock ROM on my E739 but for some reason when I try to restore using the stock rom posted here, CWM just shuts my phone down and when I boot up i get stuck at the LG logo. I wiped the data, cache, and dalvik cache and then tried to restore but it just wont finish. Did i do something wrong?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alexriio:
That what happens to me too. But if u get it to work or something pm me. Cause I tried alot stuff and wont work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] edgie13:
Do an advanced restore. Only restore one part then reboot into revovery to restore the next part. ....and repeat until done.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alexriio:
Ive tried that too n dirent worked
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Network24:
I just tried it as well. The process always hangs when i want to restore the system apps and then it hangs on something and shuts down
[Miscellaneous Android Development] edgie13:
Is your phone connected to the computer or charging? I found that sometimes I have to restore 2 sometimes 3 times, but it almost always fails if the phone is connected to the computer or charging. Also, restoring takes much longer than backing up, be patient.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Network24:
No it wasnt connected in anyway and it still wouldnt work. Ill just keep CM7 for right now i guess. Also do I have to keep the ROM and Kernal zip folders on my SD card once ive installed them etc?

C800 3e recovery!

c800s,

I soft bricked my phone tonight when I was at work. I literally was doing nothing and it just went crazy on me. some notes:

1) If a soft brick happens to you, you can still pull battery and connect to usb. When the battery with the exclamation mark is on screen, I was able to issue full adb commands and flash back the stock recovery, soft brick fixed--somewhat.

2) After that, I was able to boot back into phone normally HOWEVER, I then was stuck in force-close boot loop because I previously deleted a ton of system apps trying to streamline it, so a note: when customizing yours, make sure you just FREEZE the apps, don't delete.

3) I made progress on the recovery while farting around with the soft brick-- With the stock recovery flashed, when the android w/ arrow coming out of box and progress bar displays, hit the soft (g) button on the face of the phone (the genius button) and VOILA! I was in the stock 3e recovery able to issue commands, and guess what:::

4) "flash update from sdcard" is displayed in stock 3e recovery, so I believe that I will be able to use the fake-flash cwm zip to flash cwm recovery..

The only issue now is my phone is in force-close loop and so have to wait until friday to get a replacement from t-mo!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Zanitos:
Sorry to hear you soft bricked it, but very nice to know that you seem to have figured out how to access the recovery console... I'm really hoping that you are able to get a working cwm
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kntdookoo:
This is great news. Maybe the c800's out there with the "recover on every reboot" issue can use this method.

CM7 Nightly #6 Bugs?

1.) When listening to music (with or without headphones) the phone will not wake up if it went to sleep. However as soon as the music is paused then the phone will awaken again. It seems that the phone will not awaken if there is any kind of sound being played. When i was in a call I was unable to wake the phone as well. Anybody else have this problem?

2.) The camera is still messed up in latest nightly. Any fixes?

3.) The power button will end phone calls even when that option is not checked in accessibility. Any ideas?

C800 recovery flashing by adb and by 3e

I used adb to unlock as per the first post but no other experience. To make a clean test of this on my C800, what are the commands and which file? I downloaded them from your earlier post, or is that one causing you force closes?

Early in this thread a guy called mindstate posted his system apps:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20934399&postcount=33

:D Way to go!

So the experimental procedure is:

1] Save your C800 ported ClockworkMod recovery to sdcard as ./update.zip

2] Power off, then hold Volume Up and the A and F keys on slider keyboard while also holding Power button

3] When recovery begins (box with arrow pointing out at the android) press the Genius soft key

4] From the 3e recovery select "flash update from sdcard"

Corrections before I test it out? Also want to confirm the correct files are used.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dubbaa:
No after installing the ROM you no longer need the CWM zip install file
[Miscellaneous Android Development] misterfamilyguy:
Brendantron AND OTHER C800S,

Do not attempt to flash the ported cwm recovery files I posted many pages back. I have learned quite a bit since then, and when I get my replacement phone in I'll work on puting something back together that should have a greater chance of working.

I will also post my original factory recovery.img with a md5sum, so there aren't any flash issues.

As of right now, waiting on my replacement phone to come in the mail. So, this weekend hoping to get to work some on the recovery again.

So far, just download super one-click, run the adb.conf command, root, install titanium and whatever, don't delete any major files, just freeze them if anything. If you want a different home, just install it and use as default but keep the lg one installed. I have a backup of the LG Home, but instead of trying to mess around getting it to work I just stopped dealing with it since I have the replacement coming.

This seems like the procedure that will work, however I haven't been able to test yet.

There is no "development squad" for this phone. Just toss it in the trash and get something not made by LG.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
The myTouch Q is really good. Sure, there is no CM support, but misterfamilyguy is kicking ass on developing a CWM port, and after root there is a **** load you can do.

1) Root (follow the steps in post 1)

2) Get Titanium backup

3) Freeze whatever system apps you want (misterfamilyguy says do not remove)

4) Use V6 Supercharger to change the minifrees (I was skeptical at first, but after doing this there is noticeable improvement in multitasking ability)

5) Get a lighter launcher (LauncherPro or Zeam seem good)

6) Profit?

I know this is no Samsung II or some super powerful, fully supported phone, but for me at least it's good.

Also, if LG pulls through, we'll have ICS in Q2 this year. *****ing about how much this phone sucks doesn't help. Get involved if you want change, otherwise STFU and get a different phone.

Yeah, more detail (Q vs 739) would be nice.

Also, I believe he's referring to Android Creative Syndicate http://www.acsyndicate.net/.

Anyone having issues with GPS for the E739? I can't seem to lock on to any satellites.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] FireMedicDave:
I am. I found a thread on here somewhere and tried it. It worked great. I locked onto 10/10 satellites. The problem is you have to reboot your phone everytime you do it.

I downloaded GPS Status. Go into the program menu and press on tools. Then press on manage A GPS State. Press Reset and then immediately power off your phone. Reboot it and open GPS Status again. This time go to the menu, manage A-GPS state, then click download. Exit out of the menu and go back to the compass screen. Wait for a few minutes. At the bottom right South/East of the compass, there will be a Fix/Sats thing to show up when you have lock. The It worked great for me but again, you have to reboot your phone everytime. I haven't been able to replicate it without doing so. Lemme know how it goes... I hope this helped.

Thanks, this works, I'm able to lock onto satellites when using GPS Status, but the app im using, iGo Navigator, can't seem to lock onto them.
