[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmt9905:
I am rooted (finally) and am trying to flash custom recovery and then ROM to my phone. Whenever I reboot after flashing, my phone starts the reboot process, but never gets past the LG screen (it is not bricked as I can take battery out and reboot it normally after the attempts). It will never actually fully reboot and make the change.

mount | grep system gives me this:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 /system ext4 rw,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0

and then cat /proc/mounts gives me this:

rootfs / rootfs ro,noatime 0 0

anyone have any insight? is it just that the root filesystem is read only? the help would be greatly appreciated!
