I used to own the LG Mytouch Q and Tmo replaced mine with the Hawaiu (or however you spell it) Mytouch Q and although on paper it doesn't seem like an upgrade, it indefinatley is! It's a noticeably better made phone than the Craptouch Q by LG

These phones aren't terrible I would take a new phone of course but hey I gotta hold on to lg til october
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dosmastr:
whats this guy talkin bout man??

would an alternate install be possible with flash_image or emergency mode?

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-a-custom-recovery-to-an-android-phone-device/

"

The flash_image method also allows you to install any custom recovery, and that too from your device itself. It will require root access, a terminal emulator app, and the flash_image binary, but it frees you from the hassle of using your PC to manually install the recovery with the fastboot method.

For both the fastboot and the flash_image, you will require the custom recovery image. You can get the latest version of ClockworkMod recovery image and TWRP recovery image for your device from the ClockworkMod download page and the TWRP download page respectively.

"

so they are saying to use flash_image to install a custom recovery rom you need to already have installed a custom recovery rom?

huh?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] strumcat:
no, they're daying that you need to have the recovery image file downloaded and saved to disk so you can copy it to your phone's sdcard and flash it with flash_image.

but you still have to have the lgunitedmobile drivers installed on your pc, adb on your pc, and your phone rooted before you can install flash_image. the only thing you avoid with this is fastboot.

but according to the article, once you have flash_image installed on your phone, you don't need a pc, drivers, adb, or fastboot to flash images any more.

it sounds like it would work, but who knows? it seems easier and safer to just flash it with fastboot or dd it in an adb shell.

hi all. i was just given this phone from a friend of mine. it boots into clockwork but everytime i flash a rom and reboot, it boots dirrectly to clockwork mod again...i havent been able to boot a rom at all. any suggestions for what i should do?

EDIT: i was able to get it goiing by using the method of flashing the rom and then using fastboot to replace the boot.img file. i booted up the cm9 by chui. this phone, without any bloatware is actually fairly decent.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kdog1202:
My moms stock rom is terribly messing up is cm9 stable to flash?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] strumcat:
As a convenience, I mirrored all the stuff you might need to get an LGC800 T-Mobile myTouch Q rooted, modified, or unbricked at:

http://mediafire.com/strumcat

Drivers, ADB/fastboot, Chui's recovery, flashable superuser, factory ROMs 2.3.4 and 2.3.6, and tools for opening the ROMs and/or unbricking with them.

As usual, use them at your own risk.

To answer the question about CM9, yes, it's working and Chui has done a great job. Thanks, Chui, and all the other developers who provided all this great software.

Boot loop?.. -_-

Hello everyone. I'm stuck in CM Recovery v6. So this is what happened I installed Stock ROM/Kernel 2.3.6 (V10V). After finished installing the Stock ROM gave me an update notice and so I wanted to give the update a try.. After I finished downloading the update I went straight into ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.0.0 -_-

I probably should have read through this forum before updating but I just felt I wouldn't have done any hard since I already made a nanobackup from CMRecovery.

Please someone help me. Is there anyway of getting out of this recovery?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mr arrieta:

my lg c800 will not go into fastboot mode, it just sits at the LG logo, and 'fastboot devices' shows nothing. I get no errors up to this point. I rooted my phone long ago with Super One Click.

when i run 'fastboot erase recovery' it just says "< Waiting for device >

running windows 7 64bit, android 2.3.6 on the phone.

[solved] didnt have the adb drivers installed, just the LG drivers..oops
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amsad:
i have a locked lg

hi my lg c800 is not detecting any sim card i need help please. does flashing to cyanogen mode unlock my phone or is there any solution to unlock the phone?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lasportsfan:
I have the c800g from canada and recently flashed the stock 2.3.6 firware for tmobile. Everything is fine except I am getting very slow data speeds and text does not work. I was wondering if flashing the stock baseband for the mytouch q that's posted would help or if anyone has the stock radio for the canada version.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Thanks a bunch. I'm downloading the stock files now. I'm on an Ubuntu computer at the moment, so may have to wait till I get a Microsoft Windows comp to install it.

Basically I used a reboot button widget to try to go into recovery (I thought I already had CWM, oops turns out I did't), now every reboot is a hard reset. I can still make calls, send texts, etc though. I'm not sure if I should actually try and put CWM on the phone, or simply update the stock rom.

This is my grandmother's phone so I don't want to do too much to it (no CM anything, for instance), just want it to stop hard reseting after every reboot.

Its rooted, unlocked to AT&T, Software version LGC800-V10d-SEP-19-2011, Build Number GRJ22, Android Version 2.3.4. I'm wondering if I should go ahead and go to Android Version 2.3.6
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
What would happen if I put the kdz file on the SD card, then boot into the custom utility, select apply update from SD card, select the folder with the kdz file, and apply it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Well this is where I get stuck. Because of the problem I'm having with this phone, the instant it reboots with this command, it hard resets instead of going into fastboot mode.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
When using dd are you in a root shell?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bmg1001:
How did you get the partition table for the c800?

EDIT: Don't forget the Genius Button on the Q too
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
cat /proc/partitions
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunu:
an upload of the stock recovery would be nice and also a flashable ROM of the stock system ROM would be nice.

I'm so excited! All I really want is CM7 but CM9 or CM9.1/CM10 would be great

too bad I cracked my phone's screen :p

EDIT: fuuuu. I did the correct command for term but I think it just wiped my phone and yes I was rooted and gave terminal SU permissions.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vedy33:
I have a C800 my touch q by lg for T-Mobile. I screwed me phone up completely somehow. I cant get past the LG logo but I am able to get into the stock recovery on the phone. It wont let me flash any roms or images, it keeps saying: E: cant find misc.Sometimes the recovery recognizes zip flders and when trying to install the rom it sometimes denies it because of some security problem.

I tried to use the lg support tool to update but the phone wont connect long enough with my computer to update fully.

Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

My sd card is empty and phone is useless, anyone know how to get it to stock?

Anyone know how to get s/w mode on these phones?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vtinoc:
S/w mode is volume up plus e key plus power but its best to try that last

first try to flash cwm http://androidforums.com/mytouch-q-all-things-root/577069-recovery-cwm-fully-working-cwm-recovery-nandroid-everything.html

Then flash the nandroid

[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
Updated OP with information re: stock recovery, stock ROM, and stock baseband. Might be helpful if you're bricked :)

@vedy33, are you able to get to an adb shell with the stock recovery?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] thekd53:
Tried getting into fast boot using the USB stuff. Never got past boot animation. That may be because I did it on device. Will try adb later.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vtinoc:
Stock Baseband

Download Link 1

How do I flash I tried using cwm no go.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ultravioletnanokitty:
This zip was improperly made, it won't flash because everything is in a subfolder. Fixed version here: See OP

You'll all also be happy to know that I'm actively working on CM7/CM9!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
Hey, it was past 3AM :p I'm not as young as I used to be!

How's the CM7/CM9 coming? I'm trying to work on the kernel but am not having much luck.

Also: updating the zips in the OP with the correct folder structure. Should be finished uploading about an hour after this edit.

Also Also: ultravioletnanokitty (that was fun to type!), you might want to remove your link to the ROM as well... the folder structure wasn't the only thing I got wrong - I zipped the folder that still had CarrierIQ in it too. Whoops.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
Sorry, yeah, my bad. Zipped from the wrong folder. The radio file should work now. Stock ROM will be finished uploading in an hour.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vtinoc:
I'm am very happy to hear that.

Also can you please rebuild the stock radio zip if you don't mind
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
i already did! :p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spidro:
ok issues with my c800. all this was before i found this fourm btw.....anyways. i had it rooted and a factory reset was done on it. well when that was done the setup wizard stopped responding. ive tried alot and no go. when the battery gets low the power saver options come up. i can use basic stuff. cant get to the usb menu to enable debugging. im also not sure of all the boot options for this phone. like volume down a and f. or power and home or things like that. any way to fix this?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
Use the instructions in the OP to boot into stock recovery. From there you can issue 'adb reboot bootloader' from your computer and use fastboot to flash the CWM recovery and the cleaned stock ROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spidro:
life saver thank u so much! for a moment i was mis reading it but i got it to work finally. now im flashing the stock rom and ill let ya know how it goes
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
Um, you might want to flash the stock rom that I just updated with the link in the thread. It's deodexed and has CIQ properly removed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spidro:
yea i tried to flash ur stock rom....it reboots a few times then shoots me back to recovery..... not giving up tho
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
Can you try fixing permissions?

EDIT: On second thought I'm uploading a zip that sets the permissions on /system properly.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ultravioletnanokitty:
Done. As for CMx, I don't have everything I need set up yet, but I've investigated the builds for the e739 MyTouch, and it shouldn't be too hard to repack them with a different kernel, at least to test what works without modification. I may, however, postpane that a little bit in favour of releasing a stock-based ROM.

---------- Post added at 06:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------

New setback: I have the same problem as http://androidforums.com/t-mobile-mytouch-q/579112-help-lgc800-mytouch-q-bricked.html

I cannot get the phone to boot into anything other than fastboot and recovery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
Just updated the stock rom zip. Can you try this new one? (same link as the old one - http://www.devilsbsd.net/upload/lgc800-stock-rooted-nocarrieriq-deodexed.zip)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ultravioletnanokitty:
Unless that's been updated again since you deodexed it, I already have. Also, it's my friend's phone, so I don't currently have access to it, as he just left.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
Yeah, I updated it about a minute before i posted.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunu:
ok. I flashed the recovery correctly using the adb/fastboot method. Now, for some reason, whenever I choose an option in the CWM recovery (I use power button to select), all the options go away (so only the CWM logo is shown) and nothing will happen until I press the power button again. The only way to reboot is if I do a battery pull. Any suggestions?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
flip open the keyboard and press enter to select... power button is "screen saver" mode :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spidro:
ok tried to flash all ur stock roms......the lg logo comes up....then reboots about 3 times then back to recovery.....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
current status...?

So after reading all of this...

1) Do we have a working recovery?

2) Do we have a working stock ROM?

3) How close is CMx (yeah, yeah, first rule...)? Which is first? Does CM9 require an updated kernel? Any hope for CM10 (JB)?

Thanks for the amazing work!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunu:
ohhhh. Thanks! Not sure if that is in the OP. If it is, please bold it so idiots like me won't miss it. If not, add it and bold it so idiots like me won't make posts about it :p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spidro:
the recovery works. im just having an issue with the stock rom. it keeps trying to boot and dosent and then goes back to recovery..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vtinoc:
Delete the data and cache and dalvic cache and flash rom

Then set permission.

Sorry for my misspelled words.

OK I tested and I does not work the phone reboots into cwm

I think its the system files. Did custom restore system and it works.

Man this c800 is one tough cookie lol.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vxbinaca:
1. Yes!

2. Not yet.

3. The major barrier is gone (recovery) to development. I'd personally like to see Jelly Bean on the device if it can handle it.

FINALLY GOT IT ON SWEET RELIEF. I'm going to attempt to flash on that fixed stock recovery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vtinoc:
I was checking this out http://m.androidcentral.com/build-your-own-cyanogenmod-no-experience-necessary

But it don't list the c800 cuz there is no kernel yet on the cyanogenmod.

The non slide mytouch is there.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vxbinaca:
Why can't I mount my SDcard in CWM?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spidro:
so any new stock rom yet? hell ill even try one of any one of ya'll if u can make a backup of it with the new custom recovery
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vxbinaca:
Just the one in OP, and it's useless when you can't get the SD to mount.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
can you adb in and tell me the output of cat /proc/partitions when you are in recovery?

also, i can't work on the phone much the next few days, as my girlfriend had a death in the family and we are all kind of preoccupied with that. i should be able to at least dump a system image for you guys to try though in the next few hours.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spidro:
i can mount SD just fine...it takes a lil bit of waiting but works. And im sorry to hear about ur girlfriends loss. best wishes to that and i dont mean to rush u in anyway. take ur time we will still be here lol hell maybe even one of us might be able to figure something out
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vxbinaca:
Flashed back to original non-chui CWM. I now have SD.

The stock OS image doesn't work it messed up my phone. Guess I shoulda backed up. Now I have to wait until someone ports CM to the phone.

So basically, everything in OP's post is crippled or doesn't work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spidro:
well thats why u back everything up. i couldnt cause my phone was already screwed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vxbinaca:
Who actually committed to building any CM on this phone and where do I track progress?

Does OHsaka Superwipe work on this phone?

Ok

Sorry to hear about your girlfriends loss.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spidro:
again....if anyones stock rom already works and u flashed the new recovery id like if some one could use the recovery back up there current rom upload it ill try to use it to recover my phone. my stock rom was already messed up before this thread was even made so id like to give this a shot.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vxbinaca:
*sigh*

What do I need to do to do a nand dump of a wiped c800? I have one thats stock. Of course you know I can't go back to stock, maybe the recovery but you can't unroot a Q.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spidro:
i dont want to unroot. mine was stock and rooted. somehow the setupwizard.apk got messed up during a factory rest. i found this post n all that and thought it would help me fix it. i flashed the OP's stock rom so i lost mine. do u get what im meaning now? i just want someone to be brave, keep there stock rom, flash to the clockwork recovery, make a rom backup and post that file. ill download it put it on my phone and run the setupwizard and hopefully it fixes my issue
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vxbinaca:
Can you even get into the bootloader to flash over CWM? If you can get into CWM I'll wipe my stock Q and dump /system

Edit:

Nevermind that doesn't work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spidro:
yes i can and yes i have flashed the recovery.... forget it im tired of saying the samething over and over....

---------- Post added at 12:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 AM ----------

cause when u backup ur stock rom on clockwork it puts the back up in a clockwork folder. can anyone do this and upload the clockwork folder. i can take it from there and possably make a working stock rom for every c800.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vtinoc:
CWM Backup

Here is the stock rom clockworkmod backup just unrar into the clockworkmod folder

its 2 parts.

Part 1

Sorry to hear that I know how it fells to have lost someone

RIP to my grandma and my dad they past in the same year.

Take all the time needed I did and still can't get over it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
did you at least cat /proc/partitions like i asked for before you went back to stock recovery?

Edit: oh, you updated your post. Thanks. If you go back to CWM, you should be able to manually mount from adb by typing 'busybox mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard'.

Edit2: Updated OP with a image of the /system partition. I don't know what's missing from the other zips but this contains a completely unmodified image from a booting, working mytouch Q.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spidro:
Thank u so much!!!! Ur recovery worked for me my phone is fully restored and back to its former glory!!!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
sweeeeet! so the /system image worked?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vxbinaca:
I assume I write out that image in fastboot. Which part do I write it to? what would the command look like?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
The image will write from the zip in cwm recovery, but if you want to write it from fastboot, extract the system.img from the zip. the fastboot commands would be

fastboot erase system
fastboot flash system C:\path\to\system.img
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vxbinaca:
Thanks chui thats what I thought, just wanted to make sure. I'll try that in a little while.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vxbinaca:
Edit n/m i found it. i needed to go to your sites /uploads and find the file in there. you left off ".zip" at the end of the link
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spidro:
Yes the clockwork backup posted worked. Granted had to re root and remove apps and get my ics go launcher and lockscreen again lol. But it worked
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vxbinaca:
I try to flashboot flash and it says it's too big. I copy the file over, painfully slow for some reason, to the SD card and try to flash it in CWM. It won't flash over it don't like it, says error.

Let's stop putsing around with the stock ROM, and get on building something new, since this stock rom **** will never work.

So where do I learn how to build CM myself into a flashable image? I'll skip ICS and go straight to JB. I'm really tired of having a dead phone here with LG garbage software on it. Let's Ohsaka wipe it totally clean, nuke the nand off of all LG garbage, and move to CM.

Who is building CM for this turd? Anyone? anyone at all? If no one is doing it I will attempt.

Edit:

I'm getting this as a SHA1 sum:

f9d04aeb77b31fd714eb04207bb1572fa1ce3f30 lgc800-systemimg-rooted-nociq.zip

Correct?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
SHA1 looks good. I'm working on CM9 right now, but the kernel is giving me a few headaches. I'm collaborating with ultravioletnanokitty as well, but if anyone else wants to join in the fun... my code base is at github/chui101.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vxbinaca:
Lemme know if you need a person to test builds. I have a Q thats ready and waiting for a rom.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bmg1001:
Not the right place to ask but do you think the e739 has fast boot?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vxbinaca:
Try it. My rooted Q had it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vtinoc:
Not sure but the c800 and the e739 are almost the same so it should.

Have you tried the command adb reboot bootloader to test.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
And in more good news, I've made enough progress on the kernel to get it to compile! That's right, I have a CM9/ICS kernel sitting on my hard drive! Hopefully, I'll get the bugs in the hardware libraries worked out soon and we can really have some fun!

Progress is still slow, though, as the next few daytimes will be spent with my girlfriend's family, and I am building on an Athlon XP system. Your patience will be rewarded though!
