If you updated to ics through flashing....then you might be in the unlocked new boot loader...cm ROM is for the old boot loader....
It might be possible that you have messed up the partitions.....you need to use the all in one tool kit and re start after nvflashing
Hope this helps

Usually, it is misbehaving app, all sorts of ongoing syncs or old battery. Turn off syncing of apps & automatic backups, remove stock browser, and identify misbehaving app with Better Battery Stats app from Google play. Ideally, your phone is in deep sleep close to 100% when screen is off.

Guys, I need help... I already flashed SK4 (I wiped everything before flashing SK4). Noticed that there's no Market App so I Googled it and found the apk. I installed it but whenever I try to open It just asks for an account then when I press OK, it just goes back to the home screen.
I downloaded the apk 3 times from 3 diferent sources, but it still doesn't work... I even flashed SK4 3 times also, same procedure, still, the Market doesn't work.
I hope u can help me...

flashing only custom recovery possible ????

guyz previously i was using lg p500 and i found a method to flash only custom recovery on it.
link : ( forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318750 )
Now i am using lg p970 n i m away from home so no computer with me. I just want to know is it possible to flash only custom recovery on lg p970.
If any one can test ,it would be of great help to all lg p970 users.
As i did for lg p500.
we need original partition file and recovery file.
using original partition file and renaming the custom recovery file to name as original recovery file. Flashing them both from flash tool used for lg p970 should install custom recovery without any changes to other memory area.
Is this possible ?
I think "lg extract" gives us partition n other files of system. is it ??
i havent used it. but hope some one of u try if its possible.
There is a cwm inject method on noob guide in general sections stickys i think.

Yes but if im not wrong using that method whole memory gets flashed. I mean flash only cwm recovery.

Yes u can flash cwm only. Look for cwm touch somewhere here. Redy made a flash script and the corresponding package with cwm touch in it. But you definitly need root, to flash it i think.

WiFi not working after flashing custom ROM

Hey guys, I just installed nik's new project x rebirth 3.6 because it looked amazing!
So I wiped data
Wiped cache
I flashed the ROM
And then I Rebooted
I went through the setup everything was fine just that the slider for WiFi was greyed out and it says and is stuck on "turning on..."
I waited really long to see what would happen but no success
All I see it error
I kept trying and trying but no luck
I did everything from wiping data and cache
I reinstalled the ROM
And I flashed and ICS kernel I had lying around on my sdcard but yet no success.
BTW I did not flash a kernel when I flashed the ROM
I flashed an ICS kernel after wiping the data and cache many times thinking it would work
Someone please help! Thanks

WiFi should work. It might be a recovery related problem. What recovery are you currently using?

Use 4EXT or ClockworkMod v5.0.2.0. V6 is only a port and therefore, there can be some bugs. I know that 4EXT and CWM 5.0.2.0 work. 4EXT is kind of like a modified CWM with extra features here and there. Its also officially supported.
I believe it is kernel related..

Kangaroo Kernel's WiFi works. That is a fact. If it doesn't work, then it might be recovery related where the recovery might not be flashing some modules correctly and whatnot. I used to have the same problem except with dla5244's port of TWRP. That is why I suggested OP use Official ClockworkMod or 4EXT.
Thank you guys so much
It was actually the the recovery
I flashed Clockwordmod v5 and it worked like a charm
thanks guy!

4EXT recovery has an app and when you download the file, it will automatically flash for you.

So I just download the recovery file and flash it through the existing recovery (4ext touch) to change it to cwm?

No, you need to put the phone in FASTBOOT USB mode and use the command that was posted.
FASTBOOT is different than recovery mode.

No download ROM manager or 4EXT Recovery Updater (the latter may require a bit more searching).
As i've never really used ROM manager (nor would i ever recommend CWM over 4EXT), I can't really help you there.
For 4EXT Recovery Updater, you will need to wait a bit for downloads and stuff (roughly 5 minutes). After click install/update. Choose touch or normal (i use touch). Select version. It will download and then after downloads finish, it will flash the recovery for you.
Guys I am well aware of Rom manager and 4ext app control ;D
I just want to change my recovery to cwm or something else than 4ext rc9 because hopefully that will fix my wifi (turning on) error
And I am asking if there is a way easier than the command prompt way

1. Extract usb_driver on desktop
2. Connect your N4 wile it is in fastboot mode to your PC
3. Open Device Manager
4. On other devices you should have ur N4 with a yellow triangle or something
5. Right click on that and select update driver
6. Selec the second option (the browsing one)
7. browse for the usb_driver folder, select it, press ok, and it shoul install

Thanks to everyone in this thread! I was able to get my Nexus 4 working properly following a combination of advice in this forum and a few other places. I wrote a detailed guide for myself in case I run into this problem again; if it helps anyone else, all the better! You can find the full read on dontworrymom-dot-com-backslash-unbrick (can't post links yet). Of course, it worked for me but I can't guarantee anything certain for anyone else. Cheers, guys!

Rooting tab 8.9

Hi, I have been trying to root my P7310 tab using the instructions and root files I found in several threads. My problem is that when I boot in recovery mode I don't get in the list of options the one that says 'apply update from SD card', I only get the option of updating from external storage or cache.
Anyone could help me with this?
Thank you,

Use the guide from here by nirogu325 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406137
It has all that you need. And when in recovery, it's not necessarily 'apply update from SD card'. Just choose the zip file that you have to flash to gain root. I suggest that you use TWRP recovery on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2602188
Thanks for your help, I will try the instructions although they look a bit complicated for a near novice like me. My problem with the zip file is that when I am in recovery mode I cannot select any path leading to the SD Card root folder where the zip has been uploaded. It drives me nuts, it seems to work for everyone else but me!

The original gingerbread recovery had an option to flash zips. The ICS recovery did not. Rooting was way easier on GB because of this. The only way to root ICS is to install a custom recovery to flash a root.zip file.
Make sense, something to keep me busy next weekend...

Didn't know that. Never touched the original firmware that came with my tab. It was only when I upgraded to ICS via odin that I started tinkering with it.

Instructions from the guide are relatively easy to follow. Just read the whole lot. I think it would be better if you upgrade to ICS first if your still in Honeycomb.

Right, honeycomb, not gingerbread. I got my sweets mixed up. I don't think this tab ever had GB.

I am on ICS, I think this is why I cannot simply use the zip file with the standard recovery options. Will try the instructions and report.
Thanks all,

You need to install a custom recovery with odin. Then you flash the zip file in the custom recovery.

Yes, the guide tells you that you need to flash custom recovery before you could flash any zip file.

Ok, I think I need some help. I cannot flash zip drives from the standard ICS recovery as I do not get the option of accessing the SD card (see photo attached) so I can't either root or flash CWMR zip. As suggested I have tried Odin but there are no instructions on how to flash a CWMR zip in the tread, only how to flash ROMs. I have tried to search with the PDA or BOOTLOADER buttons but I cannot load a zip file in Odin. I am really not sure what to do now?
can you help?
Thanks very much,
C
You need to flash a .tar.md5 file in Odin. See this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2602188

CyanogenMod instaled and unusable, I have installed GoogleApps separately but they do not show up anywhere. The browser does not work so I cannot try to access gooleplay. The PC does not recognise the tablet any more and I cannot transfer files. Well done me!
I suppose I could go back installing a stock ROM with Odiin, the problem is that the only post I have found with stock ROMs has links to Hotfiles.com which is no longer in service. Can anyone direct me to any other link where I could download a stock ROM for P7310?
Thank you.

Have you tried sammobile.com for the firmware?

Done! Not without drama... At first the system would not reboot, had to flash custom recovery, wipe everything and flash the ROM again and then it restarted. Not sure I am going to mess up with my tab again! Stuck to ICS forever it seems...

Well yeah I didn't mention that you should do a full wipe first because I thought you already knew that
anyway, hopefully messing up with your tab won't be necessary, cuz stock ICS is the best, personally I use this tweaked one:
[ROM][ICS][STOCK][P7300/P7310][LQJ/LPV][Deodexed/Odexed] Final Build [14/1/14]
It is the best!!!:victory:
Cheers, what are the differences with the tweaked ROM you have?

Agree, I've tried the 10.1.3 and 10.2 CM versions before. But IMHO, overall performance is not on par with stock ICS.

It's a matter of preference, actually. In my case, I used the original firmware on the thread and tweaked it to my liking.
