so all the bugs are fixed ???

can it also flash cm7, cm10 or only kitkat ???
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ujilraj:
Does this means tht, i can backup all my currently working Rom (i'm using CM 10.1) with SD ext data (using link2sd to extend storage space) & restore them back intact, if i want to test CM 11.0?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] mukulsoni:
No, this recovery for KitKat only, as you must be aware that KitKat ROM flash on "Set_Metadata_Recursive" and all previous JB and others were using SET_PERM_RECURSIVE.

The update can take backup and restoration of sdext, which was disabled in previous one. Enjoy....:good:

I would suggest you guys to toggle between recoveries to switch the different ROMs
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
Yes, indeed. I have done that. The new version cannot be used to flash cm10 versions, however, without the modifications described.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Baegus:
Is this recovery touch-enabled?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] jaibar:
Nope, it's the old style- you have to touch the hardware buttons...
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
Issue posted on your kitkat rom thread:

Using the 6.0.4.6 version--have a backup of a cm-11 functioning system. When trying to restore from this backup, wants to "optimize" (redo) all the dexes. This is catastrophic due to link2sd's Achilles heel.

Why should this be occuring, i.e. what will trigger the redoing of the dexes?

There was an cm-11 "eng" build after the 6.0.4.6 one. Has something been changed that might effect this problem?

BTW: Maybe keep the OP referencing most recent img.

is it normal that I've no option to partition sdcard?

wiping data cache and system deleted my ext partition.

that's all weird.

now i'm searching a way to install kitkat :P
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] mukulsoni:
BTW if you only wiped data, cache and data, it will not delete any SD partition. Unless you had formatted SDCard.

Yes, this recovery doesn't create SD partition, better you make partition in any older recovery and then move in this.

Alternate: If you are already running any ROM, just take backup your of SDcard and, I would recommend SDcard format through phone os not recovery (I mean in Setting>Storage>Erase SDcard), by this you will remove the corrupted partition and go back to recovery to create partition again.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
I have found that the 6.0.4.6 versions will not restore cm-11 ROMs correctly. On reboot, all the link2sd-symlinked dexes will be "upgraded" back to data. If they fill it up, well ... Link2sd's Achilles heel.

Cm-10.2 backups restore just fine (so I have my phone back).

This means the only way I can install cm-11 or omni, is over cm-10.2. I cannot install over previoius cm-11 and get back to it if it does not work.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] z1022:
I use CWMod_6.4.0.6_Dec26.zip. It can restore CM-11 backup. I use it to restore the backup more times.

You can try it.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
It restores the backup, but then the boot after link2sd mount script creation wants to redo all the symlinked dexes. If one has room for them on /data/dalvik-cache, then no problem. Use link2sd to relink and clean up afterwards. If there be not enough room, dead in the water. Link2sd's Achilles heel.

Ok try this... Just extract the recovery.img file from the Jan16 zip and install this flashtool software http://www.flashtool.net/sshot1.php (this is for sony devices but you can flash img files on lg device too) in your pc. After installation, open Flashtool and click on "Power Icon" and select the "Fastboot Mode" and then click on "Select kernel to hotboot" and choose the recovery.img. After flashing, If you get stuck on recovery main menu, simply use power button to "selected reboot sytem" and after successful boot, reboot again in recovery and check... it must be working.:good:

Do I Have To Trim The Rom

Any app to trim this Rom?Otherwise have to delete myself manually
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] jaibar:
What did you have in mind fro trimming? It's quite trimmed out of the box, I think.

Maybe you can remove most ringtones (leave at least a small one, or you'll get lots of media-something-errors) and boot animation.

TTS languages are not there, email, exchange, live wallpapers are out too, etc etc. Almost nothing to trim out from system, IMHO.

Free system storage just 2MB

Thanks Jaibar,but free system storage is just 2mb after flashing it.And i was having problem logging into my account,it says ''problem communicating with the google server''. So i thought maybe if i trim the rom.....

What is the size of your system storage?

Same size for all of us, I think 190MB. I deleted some stuff that I mentioned, went down to 6 megs free. More than enough to run link2sd.

"apply update from sd card" or "install zip from sd card"?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
Install zip.

Apply update flashes a special file that contains only differences between existing ROM and newer version. Wish more of us would use this capability. There were apps around to make these update.zip.

CWM Recovery

@all if you whant to flash cm11 prefer this recovery, I found that if cm11 is flashed with twrp and modified script-updater, after turninig off phone completely it will stuck before bootanimantion, and only solution then is to take out battery, boot into recovery and reboot to system.

But on this cwm mass storage isn't working, have anyone found fix or workaround to this?

[MENTION=5396524]mukulsoni[/MENTION] I wonder if there is possibility to get cwm touch for our phone?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] xu3sno:
[MENTION=4974969]HardLight[/MENTION]

AFAIK, cm-11 ROM can only be flashed by using this CWM Recovery and not with TWRP. Please, correct me when I'm wrong :).

I'm always using CWM Touch Recovery v. 5.0.2.7 by vivekkalady to flash cm-11. However, I must replace update-binary and updater-script with one prepared by mukulsoni prior to flashing. So far , I'm just fine :)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Sempiternum:
I can't get it working:

with amonra 3.0.6, i get error with status 7, assert failed: write_raw_image.

with other recovery, like cwm, i got always error 7.

doing what you said with flashtool by sony, i can get into hotboot, and "succesfully" get stuck as you say.

after pushing power button, i got another confirmation notice, with the notice: "ROM May flash stock recovery, this can't be undone", and i can only select "no" because of non responding buttons.

After that, the reboot leads me to fastboot again.

The old recovery is still there, infact i can reach it by rebooting the phone into recovery.

In the last month i had several other problems with recovery, it seems that it can't accept .zips greater than 5MB.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ddimple4:
It seems that the latest recovery is a few Kb over 5 Mb. Some phones can fit it, and some not. I think my phone has a bad sector that limits it's space. The previous version is a drop smaller, and flashes ok.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ibub:
The zip includes META-INF folder which is not flashed. Only recovery.img (5.0mb) is flashed.

Edit: I just checked to be sure.

5Mb=5x1024x1024=5242880b

Recovery.img =5238784b
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ddimple4:
I flashed with fastboot and the Sony tool. The recovery.img always shows as a drop more than 5mb on disk. Like I said, it may be due to a bad sector on my phone's drive.

Just flash cwm 5.x over current version in recovery mode. Than you can flash GB ROM. You may flash it using this cwm 6.0.4.6 of this thread also, since it prepared for pre KitKat ROM too.

backup fails on cache partition

While trying a nandroid backup from this recovery, it failed on cache partition and aborted.

Didn't notice it :rolleyes: but later tried to restore it. It says md5 verification.... failed so did not restore.

Then i tried after formatting cache partition. Then tried backup. This time it worked.

Just for info.

Did not notice any difference after rebooting. Is this OK to format cache partition?

Hi,

I read elsewhere in the p500 forums that p500 custom ROMS should work fine on p509 models (LG Optimus T). Can the same be said about the CWM? Or would this need some experimenting from my part? Thanks!
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] mukulsoni:
It should work with that too. But not sure, so please use it on your own risk.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] xu3sno:
I think [MENTION=4912093]ibub[/MENTION] can explain more thoroughly, since his device is p509 too, if I'm right. :)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ibub:
Yeah, I've been running p500 roms and recoveries for about 18 months now. This recovery works fine on my P509. As p509 comes with Android 2.2 it has old baseband, so network on most newer roms may not work. But there is an easy fix. Also may have trouble flashing some roms due to failsafe assert statements in updater scripts which, by design, do not allow flashing a rom to an incorrect device. But due to a previous upgrade to official gingerbread (Android 2.3), my P509 thinks it's a p500. This also gave my phone the new baseband. As far as I know, the only difference between them is the firmware. :)

There have been four of them last few days:

6051 -- with TLS support. Security? Which ROMs?

6052 ... add mtd hack which exchanges /system and /data to get all of 10meg more on system, less on data. Change should be reverted, but, again: which ROMs?

6053 ... fix_partitionsdcard. What is added here, old partitioning functions? Fixed errors? TLS? MTD hack?

6053 ... partitionsdcard. Ditto.

Will taking any of these restrict to most recent cm-11? What about others, i.e. omni?

This is not the best situation here!

Long time, no new rom update!
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] rom.olo:
Hi everybody,

I'm a newbie, I've installed this recovery because it was recommended for this CM11 Kitkat 4.4.2 ROM which it actually installed successfully (passing through the great touch sensitive procedure to select options to install).

If for any reasons I need to try any older ROMs (e.g. faster boot, which could be good for what I need to do with this old LG P500), like this CM7, can I just flash another recovery as if it was the first time, after downloading it from some website (or getting the one currently in Google Play Store)?

Or should I do the same thing I did when updating to this ClockworkMod version, that is download and copy onto the SDcard as update.zip, then launch the update?

If I'd want to try some ROM requiring a different "brand" of recovery, could I also just flash that one on top of this one as it was the first time I install recovery or should I ask to the guys who developed that recovery?

I'm not asking to recommend a ROM for LG P500 because I guess there would be many differing opinions. But on the other hand, if I may pose one final probably veeery newbie-ish question: I see that xda-developers has a great reputation..... on the other side, are there any lists of ROM sources (groups / websites) with bad reputation, I mean which it would be better to avoid because of recurrent malaware?

Thank you!
