Updated the 6.0.1.2 recovery - USB mounting has been fixed. If you downloaded a previous version of 6.0.1.2 and desire this functionality you should upgrade!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gagdude:
Well I finally managed to root my phone and all but now the phone does a factory reset every time I reboot! I did the F + A + vol down combo before I installed cwm thinking there would be a stock recovery but it did a reset instead. I thought I would be ok, I guess I can get all my data back and I was still rooted, but whenever I reboot it automatically does a reset like as if I was pressing the F +A + vol down like before. Any fix?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
Installing CWM and booting to it once should actually fix this. It sounds like the wipe flag isn't being cleared from the /misc partition.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gagdude:
Alright, so when I have to access adb, I need my phone in the charging screen, stock recovery, or fully booted in applications settings. How do I access the stock 3e recovery? That's what I was trying to get to when I accidentally reset the phone. If that doesn't work how would I do it while its fully booted, exactly?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
You already accessed it successfully, all stock recovery does is reset the phone to factory settings. LG does things a bit differently from HTC/Samsung/etc in case you were expecting anything more out of stock recovery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gagdude:
Ugh Im used to Motorola phones which have a recovery like CWM but with only the ability to wipe, reboot, and other normal things.

Otherwise, I don't see how you can get anything done while its in recovery because it resets then reboots in a timeframe of less than a minute. So I was wondering how do I access ADB while its powered on? It looks like the only way I'm going to be able to flash CWM
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
You mentioned it in your last post already... battery charging mode or while it's fully booted
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vxbinaca:
Sorry bout the lateness chui, thought i'd flash your newest recovery and try to reproduce the error I was getting when trying to back up the rom:

dmesg - http://pastebin.com/EBzHah7Y

recovery log - http://pastebin.com/2YvrzNfG
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
Thanks! I'm sending you a PM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kdog1202:
Btw c-800 is now supported by the CM team. Check change log for cm9
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
By which you mean I'm now on the CM team. :p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dsreyes1014:
Very cool!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetiger_0603:
Wow... I got so ignored. I'm really wondering why the emulator in the ADB/Fastboot files won't stay open on my comp. Instead of being snarky, a little assistance would be nice so i can stop wiping my husband's phone every time I try reboot into stock recovery to access ADB.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gagdude:
You should be on command prompt and I think you need to type in "adb root" first to get adb root access.

Btw, I have discussed this with chui101 and I've bricked my phone. Hard bricked. So I guess Ill be leaving the... device threads...?lol. Damn. Surprised I'm taking it so well considering the fact I only had the phone for a week and rooted it for an hour before I messed up.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kdog1202:
Yes :) which is very good, I want to get my mom's phone on cm9 but when its in a more stable stage. Do u have a ics kernel?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gagdude:
It's completely stable. Only problem is a small bug with previewing panorama pictures.

Recovery is fine as well, just a more complicated process than downloading ROM manager and tapping flash CWM
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vxbinaca:
One last question about the ROM: When will NAND encryption be working?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] droideastcoast:
Question: Will CM Team be working on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean for the (T-Mobile MyTouch Q - LG C800) , (Bell/Virgin Eclypse - LG C800G) ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
The phone does not have a NAND; everything is eMMC (even the bootloader). I don't think it will work. If it could encrypt the device it would also encrypt the bootloader, recovery, radio, etc. and you would probably not have a working phone.

Edit: nevermind, looks like that's something else. I'll look into it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vxbinaca:
If it's getting auto-built I imagine it'll just auto-build. Theres no reason I can see why the Q can't handle JB.

"Encrypted Phone" under Security in Settings, thats what I was looking to get working.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetiger_0603:
And this is EXACTLY what I mean. I don't need to be bricking my husband's phone. Granted I can always take it back if using SDK doesn't help me fix it, but our cell phones are our only phone lines and he's already annoyed that i wiped his phone last night trying to access ADB and such. I truly appreciate the work that is done with these phones and ik now how hard it can be, but being mouthy when a few questions are asked isn't winning any points for anyone. I tried command prompt and that wouldn't work either.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gagdude:
Oh no I hard bricked because I decided to mess with the bootloader, not because I did something wrong on this guide.

You can also access adb fully booted up.

And in order for it to work you go to the adb folder, push SHIFT + RIGHT CLICK, and open in command prompt (or something like that). Then type in adb root [enter] and start using the guide.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetiger_0603:
Thanks. Much better. I'll give this a shot later
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetiger_0603:
Wow this thread died....... no updates?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kdog1202:
On the LG e379 were kinda experiencing the same problem..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
You should probably try that last command one more time. 5th time's the charm.

On a more serious note.

1) Make sure it's in the same directory as adb.

2) rename the damn file to an easier name. newrecovery.img is fine (or w/e you want).

3) I didn't need the whole printout of adb commands, but thanks ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bernz508:
Yea sorry about that pal, wasnt my intention to send all that and didnt realize till just now so sorry buddy
[Miscellaneous Android Development] josh2020glacier:
Note: If anything goes wrong, you can return to stock recovery by using

dd if=/sdcard/stock-recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17

EASIEST WAY TO FLASH CWM: in stead of putting dd if=/sdcard/stock-recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17

Put the name of your recovery where it says stock recovery.img. all in terminal emulator. Then when its done flashing type reboot recovery. Bing!

Only way I got it to work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] josh2020glacier:
I edited my post above to make it easier on you but all is done from terminal emulator on your phone
[Miscellaneous Android Development] josh2020glacier:
After you type exactly what I explained when you type reboot revery it should take you to lg logo then flash black then back to lg logo wait then should pop up if not try again. Let me know

You can download app off market just type reboot recovery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bernz508:
Hey thanks alot man your way def worked so damn easier than what i had to go thru lol

Any tips on any good ROMs? Im gonna try cm9 probably something.beast
[Miscellaneous Android Development] josh2020glacier:
Sorry new to the lg myouch been using htc g1 and htc mytouch 4g don't really see to many roms around here guess I'm going to have to try to port my first rom to this phone lol

lg c800 runnin cm9 nightly
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kdog1202:
Nope just cm so far for both mytouchs were make it better

[Miscellaneous Android Development] bloodfilledwatr:
I've gone back through the post and re-read everything and I'm still getting the same problem. I even tried "fastboot boot cwm-filename" and it says it booted ok, but than I get errors saying there are too many lines and I can't do anything with fastboot until I pull the battery and boot the phone again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My phone is not rooted (can't get it rooted either), and I'm running stock 2.3.6 with upgraded firmware.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] josh2020glacier:
If you read a couple post back read all my post in the last 2 pages easier way to put cwm on your phone straight from terminal emulator
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetiger_0603:
I don't understand why your can't get it rooted. I just used Unlock Root for both my husband's 2.3.4 c-800 pre and post update and his newest one with built in 2.3.6 . Both rooted no problems with the same program installed in my comp. Now to get CWM installed via emulator on the phone, I'll have to go back and read that. Cause I've had issue just getting ADB and getting the emulator to stay open on my comp.. I don't understand why it isn't in flashable format yet. It's been several months since a CWM method was created to begin with and too many people are having trouble with this one.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
It looks like your phone's partition table might be different (or maybe they changed something in the 2.3.6 OTA?) I'm not sure why it wouldn't root properly though. If you have debugging enabled, using SuperOneClick should do the trick.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bloodfilledwatr:
I've tried SuperOneClick and it pushes busybox and a bunch of stuff to the phone, than when it gets to step 7 and says waiting for device and nothing happens past that. I also tried rootunlock (or something to that effect) that someone else suggested to get root and it fails with the error that it couldn't get root shell. Debugging is enabled. Here is my partition list...

[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetiger_0603:
Don't use SuperOneClick. Use Unlock Root.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bloodfilledwatr:
I tried Unlock Root and it fails with an error saying that it couldn't get root shell.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetiger_0603:
Well dang..I dunno what to tell ya then. I never had an issue with both MTQ my husband had using Unlock Root.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] josh2020glacier:
I had that problem before try to format back to factory then super one click
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SirRastusBear:
I too am unable to gain root using Unlock Root AND Super One-click. Phone is recognized in adb, usb debugging is ticked, sd is not mounted.....

Frustration. :crying:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vxbinaca:
It puts it in /system. Factory reset doesn't touch that.

Give me a few days and I'll look into this. I'll revert my modded phone and try it on there.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bloodfilledwatr:
Let me know if there is anything you'd like for me to try. I'm willing to put the time in to get this phone root and help out anywhere I can to help investigate.

---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 AM ----------

The phone came with 2.3.6 when I got it from T-Mobile, and I believe I got a firmware update of some kind. Either way, before I got updates of any kind from T-Mobile, it still wouldn't work with Unlock Root or SuperOneClick. Although, I'm doing this on a Win7 machine. I guess I could try on an XP machine, but don't think it would make much difference.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SirRastusBear:
OK, so after some research on net-it seems I need to enter the following command in adb before I try Super One Click or Unlock Root:

echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf

But when I do, I get permission denied:

cannot create /data/local/lge_adb.conf: permission denied

Would anyone have any idea what the dealio is with that?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
O.o That does NOT look like the MyTouch Q partition table. You should have 21 partitions on mmcblk0... Since your recovery partition is probably one of the 3MB partitions our recovery won't even fit on it.

What does /proc/cpuinfo show?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] chui101:
OH. You have the Huawei MyTouch Q. This thread is for the LG MyTouch Q. I put the picture on the front page hoping to avoid this kind of confusion, but... :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bloodfilledwatr:
Welp, that sucks I guess. They look almost identical. I should have paid more attention to realized that this is for LG and I have a Huawei. Most of everything to root this thing all comes up with the LG MTQ. Guess I could be stuck with no root :'(. I'll keep looking I suppose. I appreciate the help I did get though.

---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------

I found out how to root the Huawei MTQ, but will need to verify it works. If it does, I'll keep searching on here for the Huawei MTQ and if there isn't anything on how to root it, than I'll have to post it up.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SirRastusBear:
Doh!! I am a member of the Dumass family, obviously! Sorry to waste peoples time. :o
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bloodfilledwatr:
I've successfully rooted my phone for the Huawei MyTouch Q. NOT LG MyTouch Q. If you need help, PM me. There apparently isn't a section for the Huawei phone, but going to see what I need to do for that or start a thread somewhere for it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetiger_0603:
The Huawei is still pretty new. And we barely got dev work for the LGs to begin with.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kdog1202:
It took forever to finally get roms that work ...ive been here.the whole batter i wud know
[Miscellaneous Android Development] strumcat:
Great that you found out how to root it. Before you change anything, you might want to work on porting a recovery to it, and then make a nandroid backup, and get a stock ROM downloaded if one is available. But just rooting it is entirely worthy of a new thread IMO. Congrats.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SirRastusBear:
Actually, there is a thread started-by the dev that made rooting possible on the Huawei MTQ. I did it today. Sadly, there is no valid recovery as of now. But at least root is better than nothing. So, if you came here mistakenly thinking you have a LG My Touch-but you really have a Huawei (like I did, lol). Go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1874159

Yeah, when are you going to start kdog? Hurry up!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kdog1202:
Actually thinking of starting after fb season in 2 wks cuz. My mom has this phone i may think of at least porting for u guys
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Do we need more development for CWM? It performs perfectly for me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vxbinaca:
An official release through ROM Manager would be nice.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Why? We're not evening going to be using it soon...

http://www.droid-life.com/2012/10/0...nmod-feature-cm-updater-replaces-rom-manager/
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vxbinaca:
Unless we're switching to some other recovery, we'll still need it unless EVERY LG-Q owner is going to come to this thread and get the recovery. It'd be easier if ROM Manager or it's replacement included the recovery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kdog1202:
But if using other rom then ur still need it
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Problem

Hey guys I installed CWM a while back on my phone but just recently I flashed CM9 by Chui. I loved it but I guess it just wasn't for me. I downloaded the 2.3.6 stock rom and did the following steps.

>Booted into CWM

>Factory reset/data wipe

>Format cache partition

>Wipe davlik cache

>Reboot

>Shut down

>Boot into CWM

>Backup/restore

When I tried to restore the 2.3.6 stock rom nandroid backup I made about a half hour ago it goes fine until it tries to restore /system and then it says "Failed to restore /system!"

It's not urgent, because my device still works but if anyone could help me get to my backup that would be great.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kdog1202:
Try to wipe data idk if it'll help but cud
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
That seemed to work, thanks. Weird because I thought factory reset/data wipe did that..

EDIT: It succesfully restored but won't boot into the new OS. Guess I'm just going to flash 2.3.6 and manually download all my apps again
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vxbinaca:
Theres a flashable stock rom in one of these threads for this phone, use that.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Yeah thats what I did. Always keep one on my SD card
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kdog1202:
The mytouch q cm9 what are the bugs on it ? Sorry haven't been Herr for a while
[Miscellaneous Android Development] crashff:
There's also a stock KDZ file for Tmo that I uploaded as well. It will re-write EVERYTHING, including erasing CWM back to the stock recovery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Totally unrelated to CWM but I figured if anyone would know it would be you guys. Anyway on the stock ROM I find myself accidentally pressing the Genius button ALL THE TIME and I never use it so I figured I would just freeze the app. Well now when I press the genius button is causes a kernal panic. Is there a way to map the genius button to something else? Preferably nothing

EDIT: I attempted to edit build.prop deleting the F16 part of MENU|HOME|BACK|F16 but it didnt seem to have any effect at all
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
While not our phone, perhaps it's a similar way to do it?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=836702
[Miscellaneous Android Development] crashff:
I removed the apk's from mine to stop the genius button from working. If I remember right, there's a couple apk's needed. Taking only one or the other out causes the kernel panic.

I froze the following on mine:

DeviceTest

HiddenMenu

HiddenPersonMenu

lge Upsell (tethering charge from tmo)

downloadproviderUI

fontservice

GBA Service <- Genius button?

LGATCMD

LGSetupWizard

There was an apk with the genius logo on it that I completely removed as well.

You guys need to flash on the 2.3.6 stock rom, and do a wipe beforehand. Data and system.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] DJRU5h:
Greetings! I am a pc tech and I apologize ahead of time for my extreme lack of knowledge when it comes to Android devices. But I am eager to learn since i own and use one... I have been peeking in on the development of this device on and off for the past 9 months. I managed to get Root access on the phone back in feb but thats about all i was able to do at the time. Now that i have time to actually dive into flashing my phone etc I'm ready to get CM9 flashed on my device. The problem i am having is with CWM. I followed the instructions in the OP to the letter (i think) and when I get to Step 2: 'fastboot devices' it just jumps to command prompt and the

C:\androidsdk\platform-tools\> fastboot devices
? fastboot

doesn't show up at all. I did however get the proper message once last night while trying to get cwm working on my device but i botched the process somehow and had to start over. now if i go ahead past fastboot devices when it send me to the empty prompt it will say <waiting for device> at the prompt once i run the command (ex. fastboot erase recovery). The phone is definitely plugged in via usb and registers when i run the 'adb devices' command from the command prompt. I feel it is something i am either overlooking or simply don't know and I am lost at this point. another question i am having is regarding adb shell.. i can never get any of the adb commands listed in the OP to execute anything. they all say not found (ex., adb: not found). I can however, get the commands to run from the command prompt that i open at the folder location. Seems kind of strange that adb shell doesnt recognize any of the commands I throw at it but those very commands work at command prompt... Strange. Any help or direction you guys can lend me on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

edit: Many thanks to brettvanpelt over @ androidforums for posting his solution to a very similar issue! see thread here...

Seems i just needed to make the uPnP service in windows 7 automatic rather than manual. GO FIGURE! needless to say I am now using CWM and am in the process of flashing to CM9! :)
