that's fastboot mode. read the OP.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dsreyes1014:
Got CWM flashed on my C800 Q. Instructions were fine except I'm connecting to my phone through my Linux Ubuntu 12.04 computer and the commands at the terminal are sudo ./adb xxx and sudo ./fastboot xxx for anyone trying to do this through a Linux OS.

Condolences to you and your girlfriends family. Your work is much appreciated.

Can't wait to flash this badboy with a custom ROM. Anyone have one working yet? I know CHUI mentioned he is sorting out hardware bugs. Wish I could help but know nothing about developing custom ROMs.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bmg1001:
I did this, but now how do I find out the name of each partition, mainly figure out which is recovery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
getting closer :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] medicjunKie:
You're building it from source?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
Yep! Hopefully this makes the transition to CM10 easier since half the work will have already been done :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] brnbock:
There is hope!!!!

This is great news! Figures, after I spend all day adding init.d, scripts and build.prop edits to my Mom's C800, this happens. I do have one issue though, the phone runs buttery smooth and battery life has improved BUT I cant mount sdcard via mass storage, CWM doesnt see the sdcard and I cant acess the sd through adb. Strange enough, Linda file manager browses it just fine. I think the problem occured after I flashed TweakZV6 init.d tweaks.

Any help would be appreciated.

How do you extract the baseband from the stock rom?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
same way you extract any partition, with dd. in this case you're dumping mmcblk0p11, i think.

in other news, i'm just working out some kinks with the input system, and i should be able to release a preview build. I could really use some help with this though - if you have any experience building CM9 and would like to help please PM me!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dsreyes1014:
Can you point me in the right direction to learning how to build? I would love to help.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] saintsatinstain:
I feel that some steps are missing for the less than expert

I installed a phone dialer and contacts from Google Play and figured I didn't need the stock phone app (I have root), so I removed it. The developer of the phone dialer and contacts in reference to another problem, solved, asked if I remove the stock dialer. Yes, I said. He said only the stock phone app can dial and contact 911. He recommended this forum. I assume if I flash this I will get the stock phone app back.

Or, I hope, is there someway short of this I can find, download, and install the stock phone app for the myTouch Q (LG C800)? I know how to make apps system and give them the right permissions. I do have a fall back for emergencies, because the myTouch does not have a radio, only software ones, I carry my previous phone (it's offline but the radio works) for the radio. As you know all mobile phones now, even without a carrier plan, can dial 911. So it's nof as if I am in danger. But I want to reinstall the stock phone app and necessary elements to myTouch Q.

I did remove the T-Mobile bloatware, changed extensions by adding .bak, or froze them so did destabilize the phone. I gained almost a third more talk time, and it's perkier. I would rather just add the phone app back, or, if not possible, find a way or app that will contact 911.

I would rather solve the smaller, which may be more difficult, than the big flash.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Everything looks AWESOME!!!

Ok, so I have been wiring to see this kind of development for the phone for quite awhile, (Got the phone in January). Also, didn't LG say we were going to get an ICS update? Anyway, if everything is correct in the OP I will try this later. I can't wait to get CMX and just have our phone up there with the others. I have seen some posts about changing the extension to .bak and was wondering what that is and does????? (I am rooted) If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. I would also take any other general advice for the phone, (Bloatware, Apps, Tweaks, etc.)

Keep up the great development!!:good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
there's plenty of guides to building cm9 around, just google it. my github repos are at http://www.github.com/chui101. you would need to sync the kernel into kernel/lge/msm7x30, the proprietary files into vendor/lge/c800/, and the device into /devices/lge/c800.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
So any updates on this? :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
Still working on it. A lot of issues remain until I would even think about putting out an alpha though.

Video driver freezes and crashes randomly. This is the main issue keeping me from putting out an alpha.

Key mapping is messed up - most special functions on the physical qwerty keyboard broken - just need to figure out the correct keylayout and keycharmap file. (Input description files and key maps finished as of 7/26. Volume rocker is still not registering at boot for some reason)

Camera does not work - needs the correct HAL

Vibrator does not work - not sure how to fix this... anyone have experience getting Immersion(TM) vibratiors to work on Android?

Audio (to main speaker and headphones) does not work (phone audio works) - probably something in the HAL or kernel. Audio is fixed as of 7/26

USB MTP/Mass Storage mostly broken unless it feels like working - not sure how to fix this, but it's probably in the kernel

I have been able to get a lot of things working though, mainly touchscreen (was holding me back for a long time!), backlights, and ADB over USB. Phone, proximity sensor, accelerometer, GPS, wifi, bluetooth, and data all worked from the getgo.

Again, I can use all the help I can get here, so if you know android or linux kernel development please please please take a look at the source.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] LoGis71K:
I just want to say thanks for everyone that's been putting their time and effort to make this a reality for the LG-C800. I've been watching this for a couple of months now...

There is only one problem that I am facing...

Ever since I flashed the debloat version of the stock rom, I cannot recieve text messages I can only send them out. I went to the tmobile store to give me a new sim card (thinking thats what it was) but the problem still occurs. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Would love to get cyanongenmod running asap since I dislike how slow the stock rom is :\

EDIT: I also tried emptying my SMS cache and also cleared all my messages...still doesn't work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] klamboi:
Can't wait

I've been following this thread for a few weeks now...and I can't wait for your rom chui. I would definitely love to help, but unfortunately I have no experience in building roms. But I just want to thank you for all your hard work. I greatly appreciate it! :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vxbinaca:
Hold off on that until CM9 comes out for the device.

Big props to Chui for the work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] klamboi:
I have the same problem, my texts come in super late.... :confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
I think the issue with the texts is probably something to do with the removal of Carrier IQ, since normally I believe it does have the ability to screen text messages and decide whether they are commands for CIQ or texts for you. We mainly use Google Voice though, so it's not really a huge problem for us.

I've just created (from scratch) keylayouts and keychar maps for the physical keyboard, and I figured out the correct I2C GPIO pins for the speaker/headphone amp... so as soon as I figure out what is causing the graphics to crash, I will release an alpha! Kali- who is the device maintainer for the LG MyTouch is helping me figure it out, so hopefully it won't be too long now.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spidro:
Can't wait. My c800 has no service anyways so as long as wifi works for any rom ur working on I'm fine with it.

CWM Recovery lg c800

can anyone explain to me what this means, or what i can do to get past this error msg? when ever i go to backup and restore, and try to load CWM Recovery on my lg c800, ut backs up boot image, backs up recovery image, backs up system, and backs up data, but then i get an error msg saying, "Error while making a backup image of /data!"... can anyone help me or point me in the right direction on what to do to get CWM to work??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
Do you have enough space on your SD card?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gdc763:
CWM Recovery lg c800

that can make a difference? oh my... well i'm trying a blank 2gb sd card now, hoping that works...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gdc763:
CWM Recovery lg c800

alright, maybe i did something wrong again, but i installed cwm and everything worked fine up until when i rebooted my phone, i'm unable to see any text on my phone. i can see the icons on my phone, but no text. i can open up my text messages, but can't see who text me, nor what their text says... and when i open up my contact list, i see that i have contacts, but i can't see any names associated with them. any help?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
All you did was install CWM and it made your text bug out everywhere?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
All right everyone, most major bugs in CM9 are fixed now! Thanks for your patience! Expect a flashable within a few hours :)

Update: I borked something so my latest builds haven't been booting. Not sure what's going on, but I'm reverting to a previous checkpoint...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
I guess im jumping the gun, but how alpha will this be? Can it be a daily driver? Thanks so much for your efforts!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] medicjunKie:
I'm a LG myTouch user but have been following this thread, just wanted to give thumbs up at chui for bringing the Q some life :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
It's the daily driver on my girlfriend's phone. It's stable now, finally, but not everything works yet.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] N00B_IN_N33D:
Hey man,

Glad to see you're finally posting here on XDA! By changing the extension of an ".apk" (in the directory system/app) to a ".bak" file your phone won't load the file as an application but read it as a backup file. Essentially you're freezing the app, thus preventing the app from loading or even being read by the phone. It's kinda like uninstalling an app, without actually removing from the device. If you find that you'd like to have this app back, simply change the extension back to ".apk" and reboot. It'll be back again. :)

If you want to start killing bloatware however, I suggest looking into apps that are running in the background. I believe your device should be able to do this through the settings, if not there are always apps like Watchdog. Once you've found apps that are using more memory than you'd like, freeze them. This can be done by doing the ".bak" method, or purchasing an app like Titanium Backup Pro (which sports the feature of freezing apps). Just make sure you don't freeze the dialer, market, and things to that sort. Always make sure you know what you're freezing, you don't want your phone to go bonkers. ;)

Good luck, hope your phone gets a dedicated forum! :D

CWM Recovery lg c800

i figured it out, well my friend who knows more about this did, and helped me, the rom i installed to get rid of bloatware, and carrierIQ is where i messed up, i didn't know i was supposed to do a complete data wipe AND a cache wipe... so for you new people who are first timers like myself, each time you want to install a rom, do a complete data wipe, and cache wipe, then install the rom, and then re-boot your phone... everything's working now.

---------- Post added at 10:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 PM ----------

now that i'm learning about this, i'm kind of excited to install cyanogen mod 9 on my phone, so keep up the good work
[Miscellaneous Android Development] klamboi:
Chui,

Thanks so much for working on this. Can't really show how much I appreciate it except by saying thanks! Keep up the good work, hope to see the cm9 soon!

Sent from my LG-C800
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Not to be that guy but...status? I have the flash bug ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
It's up :)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=29452265

Happy flashing!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dsreyes1014:
Ok flashed it. How long should it take for the the phone to turn? It stays on the cyanogenmod 9 screen with the little alien looking thing.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
First boot takes a few minutes as it has to dexopt all the packages.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dsreyes1014:
oh it's been way more than a few minutes. :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
Oh crap. Hopefully I didn't re-upload the one that didn't boot...

Edit: What's going on in the logcat?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dsreyes1014:
Should I turn it off and back on and see what happens?

---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 PM ----------

Sorry I'm a noob. What's logcat? and if you're talking about the screen shows after turning it on it just hangs on that with cat character in front.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Lol. It's like giving the keys of a car someone who has never driven...

Google is your friend. Post it on here or pastebin.com
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dsreyes1014:
Lol. I just googled it and sorry I should have done that first. I reinstalled it and it's up and running Cyanogenmod 9 for my C800. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
Did you wipe everything first?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Performance? Anything not broken that was listed as such?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dsreyes1014:
Well so far the soft keyboard on the phone is too big for our screen on the C800 just like CHUI said. Also when my bluetooth is paired I don't hear anything so not sure if something is wrong there. Trying to figure this out.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Camera and flash still busted? I use flash all the time for as a light, and camera is a must.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dsreyes1014:
Well from what I can tell there is an error on when opening camera. Haven't checked the led for flash yet. Give me a quick sec and I'll let you know if it works as a flashlight.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
It doesn't. The flash LED is operated through the camera interface so it is broken too.

I just need to find a ICS camera HAL for this platform that works... the one from the LG MyTouch (non-Q) is part of the reason the builds yesterday didn't boot.

Also, we should take the CM9 discussion into the CM9 thread :p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dsreyes1014:
Ok sorry about that.

Do you mean post on the new thread with the flashable Cyanogenmod 9 ROM you started?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BfordW:
LG c800 Software updated to Android version 2.3.6

LG has updated the LG-C800 software:

Android version: 2.3.4 (former) to 2.3.6 (new)

I updated via the LG Support page over USB (OTA not released yet)

http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-LGC800DG

http://xdaforums.com/images/icons/icon4.gif

I have not rooted this phone yet, but have been watching this thread (and several others).

I would suggest caution to the rooted folk before making this update, such that any changes are understood.

In other threads, there have been comments that LG has been treating the c800 as an unwanted stepchild.

Perhaps LG will continue to enhance the c800 to ICS, or even JB in the future.

For me, this phone has a very good physical QWERTY keyboard that makes this mid-level phone useful.

I have just been reading that HTC will not produce any more physical QWERTY keyboard phones.

LG should take advantage of this short sighted view.

screenshot of old version + new version
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
A month or two late and and no ics (at least)? That's nuts.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
Not only that, but not even the latest gingerbread version.

The C800 isn't the neglected child. The whole lineup of phones is - none of the promised ICS updates have arrived.

cm9

is anyone else having this problem, after installing CM9, and re-booting the phone, it doesn't go past the cyanogen9(mod) boot up screen, i'm assuming there are still some kinks to work out?... ideas plz?:confused:

i reinstalled it as well, and i did wipe everything out and it remains on the boot up screen, for longer then a few minutes, it's been about maybe 7,8 min now for me...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dsreyes1014:
All I did was wipe data/reset and install zip from sdcard and rebooted as the instructions said. It came up after the second attempt at this. The first time it just hung there so I restored to backup which restored perfectly fine. After that, I reinstalled CM9 and it came on after a few minutes like CHUI said.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gdc763:
cm9

after doing so a few times, i wiped all the data/cache/reset everything, then re-installed cm9 from sd card, now it works perfectly, with the exception of the camera and flash not working... but cm9 works :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dsreyes1014:
Very good. Glad to hear.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kdog1202:
When the company doesn't supply the needs, the customers take it into their own hands:) btw Chiu ur alsome can't wait to run cm9 on my moms phone
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vxbinaca:
Yeah I've plugged in my other 2.3.4 Q over and over and had it check for an update and there never was one. So I'm going to say there isn't an update.

LG are the lousiest handset maker out there. I will never again buy their garbage handsets with turd ROMS on them, ever again.

At least I have CM9 on here, even if the color depth is crippled **** and theres horizontal scanlines for the top half of the screen. I'm donating to Chui when I get paid in a few weeks. Even this is better than the fully colored garbage ROM that came with the thing.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kdog1202:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
Question: How would you guys

like

the recovery key layout to be? Is it okay as it is, or should I add some alternative keys or what? Maybe make the softkeys do stuff?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vxbinaca:
Genius button should be "enter" so I don't have to open my phone. In CM9 it's mapped to search but I'd like it mapped to call. Oh wait can I change mappings in CM9 myself?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stlouie65:
A simple combination would do
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunu:
CM9 now is great. everything is working except for LED Flash and bluetooth (the color depth is fixed also) and it's pretty fast
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Darkshado:
Just thought I'd mention this here:

The recovery also works with the Canadian LG C-800G "Eclypse". I used "fastboot boot lgc800-recovery-cwm-chui101.img" so I didn't even need to flash the recovery and rooted it with the latest Superuser zip (3.1.3).

I don't think I'll be modding this one much if at all though, as it is my mother's. I will try to get a proper backup of it and upload that in the next few days though.

Goodbye,

Darkshado
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
The CM9 rom should also work on it if my calculations are correct.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gdc763:
i agree, have the genius button be enter so i don't have to slide open and use the physical keyboard, and also, is there a way to maybe change holding "volume down, A, F, and the power button" all at once to boot into recovery, lets say if you restore to original stock rom for what ever reason?:confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spidro:
Ok. So I flashed the rom from the other thread.....and flashed back to stock.....here's my issue.......on stock...when I use any video chat I cannot connecet to camera......now I can't use it at all. But if I flash the cm9 build.....it works fine....well the camera does. Video chat is still a no go. Any ideas?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
It's probably looking for a FFC which the phone doesn't have.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
I can't change the key combination to boot into recovery - that is in the bootloader which we don't want to mess with. If you mess up the bootloader, your phone is bricked. Permanently.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spidro:
Every thing worked fine untill I flashed the cm9 and found out video chat app wouldn't work like they did on the stock rom. So when I went back to stock that's when I get cannot connect to camera. On cm9 camera works fine but things like skype and whatnot force close. Not mad or anything. Just looking for any tips if any. Like what is this FFC u said?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spidro:
Also noticed.....even with my stock backup...I seem to have lost root going from stock....to cmo....back to stock...whatever apps that needed root that were installed when I made the backup work to a point but everything else fails root check and using superoneclick isn't working. It just says killing adb......starting adb then it acts like its done.....I'm just lost man...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jermaine151:
I hope someone can help me. I have searched, googled and searched some more. The only thing I can find is people with the same problem. My girlfriend has the LG C800 and I rooted it a while ago, using the OP. Today she got notified of an OTA and accepted it and of course now the phone is stuck in a CWM loop and I feel like crap. I checked with adb and the files are all still there in tact so I know the only thing that happened was a "reboot to recovery" flag was set on the "misc" partition and until it's cleared, the phone is not going to boot the OS.

Does anyone know either:

1) an easy way to resove this

2) Which partition is the misc partition (not listed in recovery's fstab)

3) How to extract their misc partition for me so I can just dd it over hers?

Any help is appreciated to get out of the dog house.

Thanks!!

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

Edit: Never mind. :) I re-read the OP and saw that in one of the steps I backed up the stock recovery. I dd'd that back and rebooted and the phone began performing the update. I hope the others that have this issue, see this post and made the backup to their sdcard.

Over the air (OTA) update: T-Mobile will push the update to your device sometime between August 6 and August 19. We cannot expedite how soon we send the OTA to individuals.

Manual download: You can download the software update through LG’s website starting August 20.

It is posted in kdz format somewhere, I have been running it for a week. Great improvement for the most part (although I am rooted, crapware removed, deodexed).

I hated the upswiping lock screen so I changed the build.prop setting. My wifi calling didn't work before (old sim card), so I am not sure if the wificalling works the same as 10D: It turns off the cellular radio and uses the wifi as the connection to t-mobile for EVERYTHING.
