[LG Optimus 3D] linuxlol:
now phone restarted LG logo then AT&T. AT&T logo did some animation then stop.

[All-In-One][P920] still says <waiting for device>
[LG Optimus 3D] jocazmaj:
Just answer me this, did you install the drivers for OMAP4430?

Not the Omapflasher 4.1.

If you did just start the [All-In-One][P920].bat and follow this:

1-Connect phone without battery .

2-The tool will begin work and will give 5 seconds to insert your battery .

3-Insert Battery in these 5 seconds .
[LG Optimus 3D] linuxlol:
here is what I did.

there were 2 omapp in device manager under 'TI BOARD'

I uninstall both.

now I do what you say.

plug in with usb, no battery. QUICKLY update driver > browse > [All-In-One][P920] > usbdrvwindows

'windows has already determined you have the best driver installed.'

take out usb

open [All-In-One][P920]

press space

connect usb

insert battery

press #8 ics bootloader

press any key

<waiting for device still> ......

after about 2 mins it goes from illuminated buttons + black screen to restart phone to AT&T logo.

no change in [All-In-One][P920] <waiting for devices>
[LG Optimus 3D] jocazmaj:
There shouldn't be two OMAP devices under 'TI BOARD', just one.

Uninstall all LG drivers, restart pc and just install the drivers for OMAP4430.

Then start the [All-In-One][P920] and flash ICS bootloaders.

You are very close.

I got to go, it's 4AM here so you are on your own until tomorrow.XD
[LG Optimus 3D] linuxlol:
that is why I uninstalled both as I said.

when you say uninstall LG drivers do you just mean mobile device driver in UNINSTALL PROGRAM?

because I do not know if there is another driver some place?
[LG Optimus 3D] jocazmaj:
Everything related to LG.

LG united mobile driver,omapflasher 4.1,lg mobile support tool etc.

And offcourse the OMAP4430 driver, you got to uninstall it from device manager....

After that restart the PC and just install the OMAP4430 driver...

I sound like a parrot..
[LG Optimus 3D] linuxlol:
I do not have omapp flash installed it is not in your guide.

only omapp driver
[LG Optimus 3D] jocazmaj:
It's in OS_Hackings guide..

Reinstall it.

You'll figure it on your own, I have no doubts.

I'm gone.
[LG Optimus 3D] linuxlol:
no I only see omapp driver

what you need is just phone drivers & omap drivers and you are ready to go

nothing about omapp flash.

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

I turned off phone.

POWER + VOLUME down

Do you want to factory reset??? I never got this option before.

I say yes.

phone restart to 'welcome up startup wizard'

--------

but I cannot enter recovery mode??? Power UP + VOLUME up. It just goes to LG logo then turns off screen.

I need to recover all my messages, call log, pictures from clockwork mod backup I made???
[LG Optimus 3D] linuxlol:
some things are working some are not...

The phone has ICS now. Thank god at least it turns. on.

I can make calls and receive text messages.

The network did not work until I input some information I found from a blogspot.

----------

But how do I know 'ALL IN ONE' flashed the recovery?

Because I CANT even enter recovery mode. Power + VOL UP does nothing. Power + Vol UP or Down + Home button does nothing! They go LG screen, dark, then phone off.

How do I root if I can't enter recovery?

--------

I made a backup with clockworkmod before trying Cyanogen mod.

It has ALL my contacts, call logs, text messages, apps, and photos on there. I need these!!!!!

My backup with clockworkmod was done on LG STOCK GINGERBREAD. Rogers V20c dec 2011.

If I MANAGE to get root and try to recover my back up, WILL IT NOT Brick the phone again? I would be going from ICS>Gingerbread. BACKWARDS.

-------

I WANT ICS, ROOT, but I also NEED all my contacts+texts+call logs.

i am confused help please.
[LG Optimus 3D] jocazmaj:
I told you that the first time, after repeating stuff for a few times I got tired...

Never mind.

To enter recovery push [vol down]+[3D]+[Power].

If you flashed TWRP you'll need to reflash CWM in order to recover your CWM backup.

NOTE:If you cant enter recovery use OS_Hackings tool again and flash GB recovery.Than try to enter recovery and it should be fine.

And please DON'T FLASH ANYTHING EVER AGAIN after this.

You don't understand how your phone works and you'll just have problems.

Anyway you should stick with the official ICS because it's the best rom so far.

If I helped I'm glad, if not then well what can you do, everybody can't be rocket scientists...

---------- Post added at 12:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 PM ----------

OMFG!

So you did a buckup with CWM and you want to recover sms and contacs with CWM!!???

Why do you do something that you don't understand?

Why do people do that?

This is the last thing I'll tell you...

CWM and TWRP make a copy of your SYSTEM that you can restore if you fu&%## something up.You CAN'T restore JUST sms,logs etc. with recovery.If you restore your backup you'll be back on your gingerbread.

Now you should do this:

1.Enter recovery and root ics

2.Make a backup of your ICS rom

3.Wipe everything and restore your GB backup

4.Boot and install these and backup your data:

sms backup and restore(for sms)

titanium backup pro(for apps)

my phone explorer(for contacts,call logs,notes and calendar)

Note:With titanium make a backup app+data just for your installed apps , don't backup your system apps.

In my phone explorer make a backup of your phone without the apps and sms because you'll do that with other software..

When you backup everything proceed.

5.Enter recovery, wipe everything and restore your ICS backup.

6.Restore your data with above aps.

Final note:

You'll maybe find out that the CWM recovery is crap and that it can't restore your GB backup(md5 check not passed).In that case you'll need to:

1.Reflash official GB(that's easy now, right??)

2.Root the phone like you did before

3.Flash the same CWM as you did before when you made that backup

4.Restore your GB backup and do the rest from above..

END

If you encounter some bootloop or other bugs dont't be affraid because by flashing ICS bootloaders(wkparks bootloaders) your phone became unbrickable and you can always flash new official rom on top of everything...

If this doesn't help I don't know what will.

And please don't thank me for anything, just take my advice and read several times about something before you do it...

You are wasting your and somebody elses precious time with that half-understanding.

Just read, that's simple.

Over and out.
[LG Optimus 3D] linuxlol:
jocazmaj I appreciate your help but that is not totally fair.

I attempted to install cyanogen mod in 1st place because the phone was pathetically slow. it was ok when I got it, but it go so bad after a year. I did not even bog it down with apps or anything!

so I was TOLD to get Cyanogen mod for big improvements. I follow Manbearpigs guide at top of the forum. Had no problems until actually INSTALLING CYANOGENMOD. I rooted fine, backed up with Clockworkmod WHICH it said to do, flashed with the program the guy made NOT CLOCKWORMOD, then installed.

It screwed up, I made it to Cyanogenmod welcome screen ONCE before phone kept rebooting.

I managed to get out of the screw up 2 times with Lg Mobile Tool. On 3rd attempt installing Cyanogen mod I got Rogers loop screen which led to U helping me.

-----

i follow all directions of your guide i made some mistakes i am sorry. but guide is also not totally clear. if i did not find out on my own to hard reset I would have not got to the ICS screen. also the final step of the guide obviously did not work because I cannot boot to recovery!!

---

I backup with clockworkmod because MANBEARPIG guide said that.

----

I found an app called appextractor which is free. it says it can recover data from clockworkmod backup. so maybe i do not need to reflash.

So I should ROOT phone on ICS and then use this app and see what happens?

But I need to get to recovery TO ROOT.

----

also yes ICS is good. I am not experiencing the 2-5 second slow opening of apps anymore it seems smooth and good. i can't tell battery life difference because i didnt test it enough.

I will NOT Be doing Cyanogen mod.

I tried to do official ICS update before Cyanogenmod attempts with LG mobile tool but it always failed or said I had the best version 'gingerbread.'
[LG Optimus 3D] jocazmaj:
Regarding my tut..

Well I can't tell you everything, there are too many detailes in this flashing bussines.Some things you got to find out on your own..

Now, I don't know anything about that appextractor so you try that on your own.

As for recovery. I already told you in my previous post to flash GB recovery if ICS recovery doesnt work for you(GB should work for you because you were on GB before but that a looong story that I'm not going to explain here...).

So just use OS_Hackings tool and flash GB CWM Recovery.

After that enter the rec. with (VOL-)+(3D)+(POWER) and flash that SU zip file and youre done.

After that do whatever you like because you'll know how to do this again if it's needed.

Other thing, Xbsall made prerooted v28b rom and you can flash that one if you cant get this one to work.

There is a noob tut made by dreccon............

I hope you get your ohone to work and from now on use those tools that I gave you, or some other, to backup your data and apps.

jacozmaj

I don't want Gingerbread, I want ICS now. It is fast and I think everything works. I did not test bluetooth or 3D camera, but everything else seems ok. I like the new layout too. I don't need to use GOLAUNCHER because everything is already nice.

So you are saying flash to Gingerbread. Then how can I get back to ICS after? I want ICS ROOTED.

the app 'appextractor' will not work without root. so I cannot access all my backup stuff.

(VOL-)+(3D)+(POWER) does not go into recovery. It shows LG logo and the phone either turns off or goes to AT&T logo and phone starts normally.

One time I got it to safe 'SAFE MODE' but that was not recovery. Phone was on and working as normal.

I want rooted ICS!
[LG Optimus 3D] jocazmaj:
No no no no and NOOOOOOO!

You are not reading my posts.

I said to flash GB CWM RECOVERY with OS_Hackings tool not to flash GB Rom.

There are 4recoveries:

GB CWM

GB TWRP

ICS CWM

ICS TWRP

You should flash GB CWM or GB TWRP and by doing this you'll be on ICS v30a ROM and custom CWM or TWRP recovery.

Understand now?
[LG Optimus 3D] linuxlol:
ok I understand now.

But what exactly does it mean recovery. What is TWRP? I konw CWM is clockworkmod.
[LG Optimus 3D] jocazmaj:
TWRP is team win recovery.

CWM and TWRP are CUSTOM recoveries because somebody created them so we can flash unofficial stuff on our phones.

STOCK recovery comes with the official roms but we cant make backups and flash things with it so we flash CUSTOM ones....

Google it if you want to know more.

I used CWM then switched to TWRP because it's better in my opinnion.
[LG Optimus 3D] linuxlol:
so the reason recovery is not working is because I am on v20b ICS and it's not the official ICS that would have been released by LG.
[LG Optimus 3D] jocazmaj:
No, it has something to do with the tables...

Never mind that, it's too complicated to explain it in few rows, the compattable recovery for your phone at this moment should be GB CWM or GB TWRP.

Just flash one of them and see if it works.

If you flashed v30a then you are now on beta version of LGs ICS Rom(v30a), v20 was GB.

Beta is official but it's beta.

The first ICS beta that leaked out a month ago was v28b and after that came v30a(thats an international rom for P920).The official AT&T v30b is an official ICS for US.

We are all waiting for that v30b official version for EU.

Beta is good enough for now.
[LG Optimus 3D] linuxlol:
still not working. flashed twrp gb recovery. option #6 I think it was...

<waiting for device>

i left it until phone went to at&t logo and started normally.

Then I did 3d button + volume down + 3d logo.

went LG screen, at&t logo, started normally.
[LG Optimus 3D] jocazmaj:
You didn't flash the recovery....

I keep repeating the same things over and over again.

Now I see that you probably didn't install the driver for OMAP 4430 because if you did your phone would be reccognized and that <waiting for device>

would dissapear when you connect the phone and it would flash the recovery after that.

And your phone can't show you the AT&T logo because the OS_Hackings tool puts your phone in fastboot and than flashes the recovery so if you had that logo that means that you didn't do the job right.

I don't understand what is the problem here really.

You just need to do two simple things??

Put the phone into fastboot and flash the recovery.

The tool automaticly puts your phone into fastboot and flashes so you ONLY need to install the drivers so that the phone gets reccognized as OMAP4430 TI BOARD!

I'm sorry if you didn't understand me because of my english and I'm really sorry but it seams that I can't help you.

I tried but this isn't going anywhere.

There are tons of tuts that can help you.

Trial and error and you'll get there..

Best of luck.
[LG Optimus 3D] linuxlol:
if I didn't install omap recovery then how is ICS installed in first place? it doesn't just install magically on it's own.

when my phone is connected to computer it SHOWS omapp here is PROOF.

so now I have to go back to other guide... use lg flash tool and all different stuff just to get root.
[LG Optimus 3D] ptmaniac:
install fastboot driver again after phone is in fastboot mode... fastboot driver has to be installed twice (install driver before entering fastboot mode, enter fastboot mode, install driver again, proceed to flash bootloader+recovery)
[LG Optimus 3D] linuxlol:
I cannot get into recovery as I said...

OMAP driver is installed.
[LG Optimus 3D] amazing 3D:
OMAPP driver is not enough you must install Lg cusmo driver

here is how you install it

when you are in OS_HACKING TOOL waiting for device quickly open device manager then search for Lg cosumo ( something like that ) with a yellow exclamation icon double click it and update the driver by choosing browse my computer for the driver go to usb_drv_windows folder in OS_HACKING tool then press Next wait till the driver installs

WHEN the lg cosmu installed/updated you will be able to flash your phone otherwise your phone will stuck on WAITING FOR DEVICE

by the way iam using win7 32 bit

sorry for my bad english :good:

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Achabot:
Hello.

So I'm really new to all this Android custom ROMs and OS stuff. Loved the noobie video. Back when Sprint did their OTA of Gingerbread I was one of the lucky ones with the messed up GPS. I rooted. A friend recommended the CM10 custom ROM. So me knowing not much about it and he has more time to read/ do stuff with his phone, I did it. Didn't LOVE it, but it was nice.

Last night I get a OTA and in a middle of the night wake up for water daze just let the phone do its update. Now I'm @ CM 10.1.0 and I have lost ALL of my contacts, Text messages still show up but NONE have names. My google emails and the Play store do not work. I get a "clock has stopped working" screen every now and again, I'm also not getting ANY push notifications from any other apps.

I have not seen these issues listed yet.

If this is a known issue and I'm just not searching the right key words, please please point me in the right direction. I need this phone to work right.

I'm lost and I know no one local with an Epic.

I'm not sure what I need to list as far as version numbers or kernel numbers. If they are needed, let me know and I'll provide.

Thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyYan:
From what I can see, you lost everything in an OTA from CM10 to CM10.1 and everything went bizarre, is that right? Then just download a clean CM10.1 package and THOROUGH WIPE (cache, data, system) and flash.

But keep in mind that this will clear out all your SMS, contacts, etc.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Achabot:
all of my apps were still there. But when I try to use Gmail or the Google Play store I get the "clock has stopped" pop up.

- No Contacts (no way to get to them either)

- No sync/ updating

- "clock has stopped" message

- No notifications from apps (Instagram, Facebook)

I DO get my NON gemail mail though.

I have the SMS backup/restore and all my contacts in saved to Google so wiping anything I'm okay with. But how do I get a "clean" version 10.1.0?

I'd assume I use the "stable' version over the nightly one?

I see a lot of people going back to 10 but I don't know how to do that.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyYan:
http://get.cm/?device=epicmtd is where you get the CM10 & 10.1 zips. Recent CM10.1 nightlies are reported to have problems so stable build and M2 are recommended. Also, Bluetooth is wonky on all 4.2.x (in this case, CM10.1) ROMs so CM10 is the choice if you want it. Full wipe and flash. Reboot and good to go. Though I don't know whether restoring an SMS/contact backup works or not... Try for yourself!

im wanting the slick rom JB and I cant find the post listing how....i found the where...

1.not the how?

2.Is "installing a custom firmware" the same as the ROM?

3.if No to question 2, whats the difference?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dvdbabcock:
ok ima try to break this down for ya

1. Make sure you are rooted and have an unlocked bootloader, if not got to this thread and follow instructions http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2006946

2. Once you have completed step 1, confirm that you have either cwm(clockworkmod) or TWRP(team win recovery project)

2a. Once recovery presence is confirmed, enter the recovery through the bootloader

2b. To enter the bootloader, while the phone is off hold the power button and the volume up button until the lg logo come on the

screen release once the bootloader loads, press the down volume button twice and then press the power button and then the

recovery will load.

2c. (for a quicker way download the quickboot app from the playstore and select recover from the in app menu)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot&hl=en

3. Once in the recovery, you'll need to wipe the cache and the dalvik cache, as well as factory reset the phone(recommended to do so) before flashing the ROM(custom firmware)

3a. Navigate either CWM or TWRP until you get to the install zip directories for each recovery, and then navigate the provided file

browser until you find the file you are flashing, once selected follow the on-screen prompts until the file has been sucessfully

flashed.

4. Reboot your device

5. PROFIT!!!!!!!!!:D
