Thank you so much, I might switch to 2.2.1 today :) Just a quick question, can I restore backups from previous versions of the recovery?

[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] :
You misunderstood me. Switch recoveries as you want, but do NOT use ROM Manager to flash recovery. See this post for reasons.

Download the ZIP from the thread I have linked above and flash CWM from your current recovery. (Can switch back the same way in future.)

How does one update their custom recovery or change it to another one? Any links, rude comments or recommendations to use the search function?

In other words, can I use these links to flash the recovery, do I need to wipe anything before doing so, and most importantly... when I'm done flashing it, will my custom ROM (cm7) be all messed up, programs lost and settings back to default?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] mihir287:
Yes, you can use the link you posted to change the recovery.

No, you don't need to wipe anything.

No, changing your recovery will have no effect on your rom.

Phone boots to factory reset instead of recovery menu

Hi: I followed the instructions found here:

http://androidforums.com/getitnowmarketing/221388-custom-recovery-optimus-one-p500-thunderg.html#post1896517 with the help of more detailed instructions found here http://tablet-crunch.blogspot.com/2011/01/lg-optimus-t-rooting-recovery-rom.html?showComment=1311436474133#c1578835554441745154

Everything appeared to work perfectly.

However, when I boot the phone holding the power, home and volume down buttons down, it simply does a factory reset and does not boot to the recovery menu. (I'm using an Optimus T P509.)

Any idea as to what I can do to boot to the recovery menu?

Thanks in advance for any assistance you might be able to give.

if you are using cmd on windows,

E:Bad boot message

"

Nand backup works. Nand + ext backup shows Error : Run 'nandroid-mobile.sh' via adb!

Everything else works correctly. To me it's fully functional and a better recovery than I ever used on the intercept.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] drellisdee:
Bad boot message is due to a evil service lg uses that instant reboots out of recovery. Service is disabled in my recovery causing that message on lg vortex, opt one and t. They use a different kernel setup on optimus s so that one doesn't have it. Its completely fine. Nand + ext is only used if you are using old style apps2sd and error is because you don't have a mmcblk0p2 ext partiton on your sdcard. Consider that a fully working version only thing I'll change for release is the test naming.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] peolo001:
I need help, you can tell me what did I do wrong?

I rooted the phone with superoneclick and then I installed adb shell,when I give the first command to install the recovery menu tells me access denied to sd, read-only, same thing using the shell from device.I of course gave all 2 applications as root superuser menu, any advice?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] drellisdee:
More info is needed. You don't install adb shell its part of the android sdk for your pc. Sounds like something else you did formatted your sdcard readonly. You will probably need to format it to fat32 on a pc with a card-reader.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] peolo001:

Hello,

has anybody tried to connect through adb while in Amon RA custom recovery customized by drellisdee?

I tried it without success, adb devices shows device not found. Probably android is not in USB debug mode?

Drellisdee, can you please look at it?

Thanks.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] drellisdee:
Just double checked the recovery props on p500.

its set correctly with

ro.secure=0

ro.allow.mock.location=0

ro.debuggable=1

persist.service.adb.enable=1

Check your adb install and adb drivers.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Vintersorg:
Thanks for checking it.

My adb install is ok and since I use linux I don't need drivers. I just had to tamper with udev rules. When the phone is booted to full Android system everything works ok, I can get to adb shell.

I've elaborated a little bit and it works like this:

When I do soft reboot to recovery with

reboot recovery

After reboot to recovery I can get into adb shell.

But when I turn off the phone and then turn it on with recovery key combo, I can't see adb devices, and therefore can't get into adb shell.

I've tried to find what is different and found that the phone advertises itself differently to usb bus when starting from power off into recovery..

lsusb - after soft boot into recovery:

Bus 002 Device 024: ID 1004:618e LG Electronics, Inc.

lsusb - after power on and using key combo to get into recovery:

Bus 002 Device 027: ID 1004:6000 LG Electronics, Inc. VX4400/VX6000 Cellphone

I've tried to add another udev rule to set permissions also when the phone advertises itself to usb bus with other identifier, but it didn't help.

Any idea?

Hi,

I'm new with Android and i just bought this phone.

The performance is quite good, but i'm thinking to install this recovery to flash some customized rom.

My question is: What are the chances of going wrong?

*Sorry my english.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] The_ERROR:
I tried it several times and no problem at all.

I used Terminal Emulator and run commands from there...

Thanks for your reply.

I just flashed this custom recovery and everything is working.

I did it using terminal emulator and Chrome to Phone to paste the

commands.

I also flashed O1_boost.zip from another thread.

Altough i didn't noticed a large performance improvement.

When LG update this firmware the custom recovery will be overwritten?

Or i'll have any problem to update?

Thanks.

You can do backup of stock recovery with

dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd2 of=/sdcard/original_recovery.img bs=4096

But, I'm not sure how to recovery this :) Maybe same like custom recovery?

# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system

# cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image

# chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image

# mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak

# mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system

# flash_image recovery /sdcard/original_recovery.img

# reboot recovery

can somebody confim this way?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] jtaylor63:
If you flashed the custom recovery, then you already have flash_image in /system/bin. To flash the originale recovery you only need this command line:

Done by the terminal and had a big problem when booting the screen is in black with the following entries, fat usb installer update. When I turn on the computer by usb then appears the following r-restart and two more other things that currently do not remember. After this happens the computer does not detect it. Does anyone know why this happened? Right now I do not have the terminal as it was within the 14 days I switch to another. But now I'm afraid to do the same to this problem there.

Thanks

PS - At the time when the terminal was doing the "applications" do not know if it's the proper term, I saw some errors that were due to lack of space.

Already now more a question even though he is required by the terminal equipment is connected to the computer?

[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Joeseph Mother:
This might be a dumb suggestion, but I think it's worth a shot, download root explorer, go to your /system folder, and there should be an option there to remount it as rw, then you can go to the next step.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] 4D3:
Hey,

so you mean to use root explorer to remount as RW, then just jump to the next command?

MG

Edit: this made no difference... i still couldnt issue the commands.

although i did manage to manually copy the flash_image to /system/bin

but when i went back to adb and tired to issue:

chmod 755 /system.bin/flash_image i got:

unable to chmod /system/bin/flash_image : Operation not permitted

PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP WITH THIS: it would be nice if the OP actually posted help!
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] drellisdee:
do you have a $ or a # prompt? Rooting is a prequiste. You have to call root user with "su" first after rooting of course and accept superuser pop up.You mentioned you had root have you had an ota update since then that could have killed your root permissions? All of those not permitted messages are an indicator that you aren't doing those commands as root.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] 4D3:
Hey,

I managed to get this working by doing the following:

connect it to the pc and issuing these commands:

adb kill-server

adb start-server

su

Accept SU Popup on handset

the $ changes to a # when SU (SuperUser) is granted

also i used Android Commander to push the files over to the handset!

thanks (maybe you could add this to the top post for people with my issue!)

Thanks again

[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] drellisdee:
I did

To flash: via adb shell or terminal type this from root # shell

I purposely wrote it like that to keep people that have no business flashing (and don't know what root is and basic terminal shell commands) from flashing it. If someone doesn't understand what a root shell is please move along this is not for you.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] 4D3:
so because i dont know what root shell is means i cannot flash?

I wrote the guides for WM MTTY/TERMINAL/PUTTY flashing WM roms, I have no issue with these commands, what i have an issue with is the fact that you did not include in your instructions that you needed to kill off then restart the adb server!

nothing to do with this being complex

MG

also no need to be rude im not an idiot!!
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] The_ERROR:
In yours case problem was in some wrong state of adb. I fleshed fw few times and I never needed restart off adb. There was just some unexpected problem in adb and poster of "how-to" didn't know that. ;)

Also - maybe is better to let know all information and let user do what he wants to do. It's his/her responsibility. On other way I can imagine that this "user" will grumble on poster of manual, because his phone didn't wake up after process.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] drellisdee:
Sorry didn't mean to be rude and that wasn't directed personally at you. If something goes wrong shell commands are often needed to fix it and its kind of hard to guide someone to fix if they don't have a basic understanding of terminal and/or cmd prompt. I've never had to kill-server before to call shell must be something localized to your setup.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] 4D3:
No Worries, but i still think if people are getting the error i got it would be a good suggestion to get them to initially kill the adb sservice and restart it!

simple step to ensure smooth runnings!

Peace

It's not same, but it is near of your problem. Maybe it helps to you. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=853837#post9502760
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ZeroXtreme:
Partitioning will do a total wipe of your SD-Card since it will delete the existing partition table and create a new one based on the size you define. For example if you have an 8GB card and allocate 1GB to the ext partition for Apps2ext (old Apps2sd), the remaining space of 7GB will be reformatted as FAT32.

Ext2 is the fastest since there is no journaling involved but no recovery in the event of corruption, Ext3 on the other hand has journaling and is slightly slower because of it, but it provides a certain level of recovery. Ext4 is an enhanced version of Ext3.

Hope this helps.
