Now I'm confused....when you say that you have followed the amon_ra recovery method, and yet you ask what is ADB... how did you do it ... :confused:

If I assume correctly, then you want to follow the amon_ra method...right?

in that case check this out :

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/

for usb drivers, use the lg tool to download the usb drivers and then either install them manually or use lg tool to install them.

After that follow amon_ra method...

Guys, I am using a terminal emulator downloaded from the market which seems easier initially(In case this wont work, Ill go with hell1134's suggestion).

hell1134, sorry, I was quite confusing, I mean I am going to follow yet amon_ra

How to put the flash_image.img and recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img to the root of my SD card? It says cannot copy, write-protected or access denied... The scenario is I extracted the zip files downloaded from the site and then copy and pasted the two image files to the SD card.

Sorry, I am still newbie about these stuffs. Please help..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ciolnadu:
copy the 2 zip to root of sd

and also extract them (on sd)

then follow instructions
[Optimus One, P500, V General] LGeee:
@ ciolnadu

Hahaha! I dont know if I got it right but I reformatted my SD card through Windows XP reformatting so it cleaned my SD card. Then I downloaded again the two zip files to my hard disk drive and extracted the two image files to the newly reformatted SD card.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] hell1134:
Ok...now I get the picture...

To put the flash_image.img and recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img to the root of my SD card, connect your phone to your PC with usb cable. A notification will come on your phone where there will be an option to " turn on USB storage " -> select/click it.

It will immediately turn orange and there will be another option to " turn off USB storage ". Do not click it.

Yor phone will be recognised as mass storage device by your PC. Copy the flash_image.img and recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img files to the mass storage ( like any other usb storage device like pen drive ). MAKE SURE IT IS NOT PLACE IN ANY FOLDER.

Now on the phone click " turn off usb storage " on phone and disconnect from your PC.

Well...that puts those files to your sd card's root.

Edit: Oops ... guess was a bit late ..

One advice....try to format the SD card via phone settings...might remove most sd card related problems.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] LGeee:
@ hell1134

That is what I did and they are pasted now =)

Now I am using the Terminal Emulator and Wifi Keyboard to follow and apply the terminal codes (quite confusing for a newbie indeed but I should manage ^^ ). Now the problem is I am stuck with the code:

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

It says, "failed on '/system/etc/install-recovery.sh' - No such file or directly

What shall I do guys? Am I missing something?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] LGeee:
Update:

Quoted from "Getitnowmarketing" answering to the same experienced from another user there:

You dont want that file there as it keeps recovery from "sticking" its not in all roms usually there ater you do an ota update. That command removes it. If its not there move on to next step.

>.< So seems my ROM hasnt it, so I must proceed to the next command
[Optimus One, P500, V General] LGeee:
Update:

I am already rebooted to the Recovery Menu. I'm so excited hahaha!^^ (noob me)

I am doing a Nand Backup + Ext + Android Secure

Ill keep you updated guys. Thanks!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] hell1134:
Don't worry ... move on next step...

If you need to know ...

"

check the amon_ra thread ( one that you posted ) further down -> # 7 to be exact
[Optimus One, P500, V General] LGeee:
@ hell

Yes, that is what I did! Thanks =)

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

Update:

Guys, there are several types of backup here:

- Nand backup

- Nand backup + .android _secure

- Nand backup + ext backup

- Nand backup + exter backup + .android_secure

- Backup Google proprietary sys

I have tried the "- Nand backup + exter backup + .android_secure" but it says run nandroid-mobile.sh recovery" from adb... . And so I tried the "Nand backup" only and it succesfully went through. Now I am bit confused why the first one(- Nand backup + exter backup + .android_secure) had an error...

Which is the best option of these backup?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DonDizzurp:
connect your phone to your computer

open an adb shell

type "nandroid-mobile.sh -b"

let it back up everything to your sdcard..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] amit.mastermind90:
i too have this prob. is there anyway i can make a complete backup via recovery only.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] hell1134:
select -> Nand backup -> usually backs up entire phone

Other 2 I'm not sure but people have reported problems with backing up .android _secure

Though, you can give it a try.....

Edit: Use Nand+ext only if you have a partitioned SD card and are using A2SD....
[Optimus One, P500, V General] amit.mastermind90:
ok, thanks guys. will try.

Hello!

Thanks for help. Going to check this now.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] LGeee:
Hi!

I believe that A2SD you mean is the Apps2SD? If yes, how will I use the Apps2SD in relation to the situation?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] hell1134:
Well...I don't use apps2sd at all

Most custom ROMs have apps2sd installed...so as long as you have an ext partition in your sd card, apps2sd will pick up

Before installing any custom rom, please read description and procedure ... ( check for the step that says partition your sd with ext2-ext3/ext3-ext4 and so on .... it means that if you do those steps then apps2sd will automatically be activated

There is a guide somewhere though .... ( too lazy to search for it )

Example : check Megatron v1 description & process

Thank you very much guys. After struggling to understand in-depth technical instructions, I finaly managed to get the output. And this would be impossible without your assistance here. Huge thanks as well to the genius one making the system.

My LG Optimus One now is running under Megatron build. It is really very fast! All programs tested including 3D games run like a breeze!!

@ Hell

I am partioning my SD card but I am confused why A2SD is not automatically installed. I am manually installing it though.

@ All

I am stil confuse to where I can find this ADB shell. I have already installed Android SDK program here in my XP 32bit system but still cant find it.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] santino88:
Hello guys,

I'm new to the forum, and i'm not sure if i've posted my message in the right thread, but since my problems are related to the void custom rom and the official thread is banning me from posting there, i thought i should give it a shot here :

So i've flashed my phone with void rom via custom recovery by thunderG but then i noticed that my phone has a hardware problem ( short or definitive signal loss while in conversation). To use the warranty i must first bring my phone to a stock state, so i thought i should flash the original firmware via KDZ and reinstall the original recovery as described on another thread on xda ( can't find it now, but it basicly tells you to use Terminal Emulator and write a command that would install an original_recovery.img from the sdcard root then reboot).

I fired up KDZ and it finished the process without any hick-ups, but after reboot the phone shows the lg logo, then the stock lg logo animation with all the blue and magenta things happening and finally the "VOID loading modules" logo, at which point it gets stuck. For what is worth, the computer recognizes the phone when connected via the usb cable, because it plays the specific notification sound.

At this point i don't have any idea what to do next , so if anyone has any suggestions or better yet : a step by step minitutorial for bringing the phone back to a stock state allround i would be forever in debt. :D

Once again, sorry if i've posted in the wrong thread.

[Epic 4G General] Mohwak:
I plan on selling my EPIC and maybe moving to the HTC Arrive. I am not sure what the hell is wrong with you people. There are not that many EPIC devs compared to other phones and all you can do is constantly bash or try to pick someone apart.

I came from TP2 phone and did most of my ROMs from PPCGeeks because it was a CDMA phone. I flashed ROMs from NRGZ, XPRESS, BIGNADAD. ect. I loved flashing a new ROM every day if one was out just to see what was new. I can only remember 2 instances ,within the year + I had that phone, where there was a problem among devs and they both seemed to carryover on something that happened on this site. When I got the EPIC I realized that I needed to be here to get the latest ROMs.

So there has been hardly a day that goes by with out some type pettiness or *****ing about this or that. You people make up fake accounts so you can go into other devs threads and make accusations or start a firestorm of ****. You fail to read or accept any prior explanations of where code, ideas, or apps come from. You expect everyone to jump on your bandwagon to railroad people out of the forums.

You people need to get over yourself and do what you came here to do. Not constantly look to see who slighted this person or fill a thread with so much *****ing and flame that you cant even do a proper search to find answers. I realize that I may have to close this account now but really you have just about ruined the fun in all this for me anyway.

Erased the firmware. Now I can not find the original.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] jeromecornet:
yes, a bunch of us are still waiting for a kind soul to dump the rom of a mobilicity snap.

If you are stuck, you can install the official (signed) firmware for the HTC Maple from Wind at w w w.htc.com /ca/support/maple-wind/downloads/ but you need to make a goldcard to do that.

That's how I unbricked mine, but I want to get back to the mobilicity ROM to start it as a base for tweaking and I can't find it.

Not making a backup was not a very bright move from my part :-(
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] GReG0:
I do not GoldCard :-(

[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] GReG0:
Thank you, do not get. Wrote that not registered.

I do not want to buy, suddenly will not work.

Made by this method:

So lets jump straight into the guide:
Format your spare microSD card to FAT32 format.
Put the microSD card in your phone and turn it on, once turned on attach your phone to your PC.
Download an app called GoldCard Helper from the market. Use this to get your mmc cards long number by following the app instructions.
Download the Android SDK
Unzip the sdk to any folder you like (eg My Documents).
Go to start menu > select run and type cmd followed by pressing Enter.
Replacing with the address you unzipped the file to, type >cd \android-sdk-windows\tools. eg cd C:\Users\Home\Documents\android-sdk-windows\tools
Type >adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid and press Enter. You should get a very long number which looks like this: 532600bd227d9c0347329407514d5402.
Go to this page http://hexrev.soaa.me/ , paste in your number and click Submit. Copy this new number.
Visit this page, enter the new copied number and create your goldcard image, which will be e-mailed to you.
Save the file attached in the email to your PC.
Download and open the HxD Hex Editor, available for download here ("Run as Administrator" under Vista and win 7).
Go to the Extra menu and select Open Disk. Under physical disk, select Removable Disk (your microSD card), uncheck Open as Read only and click OK. Note that you should select physical disk NOT the logical disk. This is important!
Go to the Extra menu again and select Open Disk Image. Open the goldcard image that you received by email.
Press OK when prompted for Sector Size (selecting 512 (Hard disks/Floppy disks)) and click OK.
You should now have two tabs - one is your removable disk, the other is your goldcard image.
Click on the goldcard image tab. Go to the Edit menu, choose Select All then select the Edit menu again and select Copy.
Click on the Removable Disk tab. Highlight offset (line) 00000000 to offset (line) 00000170 (including the 00000170 line), then click on the Edit menu and select Paste Write.
Click on the File menu and select Save, accepting the warning.
And there you have your new GoldCard. You are now ready to continue onto rooting your phone!

This method failed too.

I got the Innocase combo from Seidio. I was a bit wary after the POS they released for the OGDroid but this one is pretty nice. It's a two piece combo that slides 'over' the phone (from top and from bottom) and 'clicks' securely shut. No fit issues, kickstand is fully functional and all the wholes are there (i.e. two mic wholes ect.). I particularly wanted 'screen-in' holster and it's all working great.
