[Q] PROBLEM!!! Can't flash anything bellow ics - LG Optimus Black

Hi! I have an lg OB running ics 4.0.4(V30B). The phone it's rooted and I have CWM installed from Rom Manager. I can acces Recovery from Rom Manager and with the phone off ( VOLUME PLUS + G KEY). The problem is that I can't flash any Rom bellow ics (not even with Smart Flash Tools) without getting bootloops. I can flash Roms based on ics and above( IZS,CM10.1,NAMELESS ROM NIGHTLIES 4.4.4).
Could someone help me?

I was hoping you fixed the issue. I don't know what to do.
It's a matter of unlocking the boot loader. Once you do that, you can jump back and forth between ICS-based ROMs and everything else.
Gingerbread ROMs include the boot loader (marvel and Huexxx).

Man I can flash ICS-based ROMs .JB and KK, I can't flash GB stock or GB-based ROMs, not even with SFT.
I think the bootloader it's unlocked because I can acces CWM from switch off phone(key combo)....I am confused because i read many tutorials but they are contradictory

That happends also with me 2 times.
Just flash CWM recovery again.

Try toii install a ROM right after rebooting from flash.
What I did is: Install a JB ROM, After, I reinstall CWM with ADB, reboot and then I could install any rom.

Did you unlocked the bootloader first? can you put a link with your froyo and SFT?
I am from Romania so I need an Europe Open

No, I don't tried to unlock bootloader, but like you , I got the bootloops every time I downgrade from ICS, Nameless or cyanogen roms . I use original Froyo - flashed with SFT , then upgrade to GB with Cwm recovery patch- flashed with SFT, then boot to recovery and install Nameless. I will give you the links, once I uploaded to my dropbox.

UP! When I use the bootloader unlocker app the flashing process take about 2-3 seconds and the app closing by itself without any message like "succes". I even tried to flash a u-boot img uploaded by huexxx and at the second reboot the phone stucks on lg logo without flashing leds

Did you already try the alternative way without the app? Which means load the files to your sdcard and afterwards type the dd if=xxxx of=xxxx? This could show if it works or fails. And did you ever flash the LU5900 port? So the early ICS ROM released by Redy, Gabwerkz and me. Try the manual unlock first.

OK I have the terminal emulator on my phone.
I've read the thread and it says "Move this two files, bootloader and recovery to the root of memory sdcard;
Enter in the command line
su
dd if=/sdcard/u-boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
And reboot or reboot recovery."
I have downloaded all on my laptop(bootloader recovery and su) but I am confuse....what's with that "su"?
Do I have to put it on the root of the sdcard too?
Sorry for my noob question

Bootloop after installing kernel [solved]

I got a bootloop on Nova HD RC-12-21 (ICS 4.0.3) trying to install iron kernel 64MB from Aroma Installer. I can't get into CWM even with adb, so I don't know how to install another rom.
are you using cwm-rcovery touch?
see the hints about problems with circular bat mod, cwm touch etc.
did you try full wipe or non wipe?
Not being able to start CWM is weird...
However, you have smartflash and nvflash to those kind of panic situations.
wired indeed - may you post complete versions? just interested in the prob

i'm using cwm-recovery without the touch but i'm not sure what version.
i think the problem is the iron kernel (because i've already saw some posts from people with problems with it. But all of them was able to start cwm.
i wiped data/factory and cache.

i've tried to use nvflash and nothing happened.
If you really can't enter CWM (how it's even possible after flashing system/boot partition?) the only thing you can do is reflash recovery or/and system+boot with smartflash. Somewhere on this forum you should easly find required files with how-to's.

I just solved my problem doing this:

I didn't want to flash Nova HD never again, so I flashed a CM9 Kang and now it's stuck in the second logo

If you have flashed ONLY (without any other custom kernel or mods) Owain's newest kang on stock rom AFTER data/dalvik cache full wipe, try to do some reboots (1-5) after waiting at second logo longer then 1min. I have that issue sometimes and android is booting eventually, sooner or later.
i flashed LG's rom .kdz that i found in lg's site when i got stuck in 2nd logo
so i flashed again with CM 7.2.0 and voilá, i have my phone back!

[Q] LG SECURITY ERROR - Bootloop on Optimus Black

I had rooted my Optimus Black right from the first week i had bought in May 2012. Tried all the possible custom ROM's out there. Huexx's Zeus ROM was my favourite. But due to power problems (abrupt restarts and excessive heating during charging) I had to give my Black to service center for repair. I made sure that I switched back to stock ROM before I give it back to the service center.
Since then, I have been unable to ROOT it !!
Tried all the possible methods to root it:
CWM Injection, Smartflash resulted into BOOTLOOP's when i tried to flash older V10 and V20 firmwares. Only firmwares that worked were V20 F and V20 G.
This got me really frustrated as I just couldnt ROOT IT.
Today I flashed European V30 with the intention of ROOTING it with Unlockroot.
This time i was successful in ROOTING.
I installed Rom Manager, Flashed CLockwordmod Recovery. Rebooted into recovery and was greeted with a "LG Security Error" !!!! The phone just wont start.
What is going on ?? Is my bootloader locked ?? I dont know ??
Can someone please help me ??
Official ICS has bootloader locked.
lg putted a "crc check" on the bootloader so if its modified like your case, it gives a security error

Does that mean I am stuck on STOCK firmware from now on ?? This sucks.
I also came across things like for the Optimus G and Nitro.
Cant anything be done regarding this matter for the Black ?
Removing the very essence of andriod OS by LG by resorting to such stupidity really DISGUSTS me.
Please Dev's, come up with something. STOCK LG roms suck ass.
yes you cannot have cwm with that rom (atleast this easy)
flash another rom with smartflashtool
Download THIS and use THIS tutorial .. you`ll get Gingerbread rooted. After this install rom manager and you can install custom rom.

Tried it but FAILED.
STUCK on LG logo with the bottom lights blinking. Waited for more than 10 mins but just stuck there.
As I had mentioned earlier, can boot successfully through only stock firmwares like V20 F, V20 G and V30. Cannot flash patched roms and neither can I flash old V10 firmware as it results in BOOTLOOP.

A lot of people flash a patched V20 and they forget to flash the Superuser and that results in a bootloop.At least it happened to me when I first rooted my OB in ancient times.Maybe this is the case.

also CANNOT boot succesfully throuh a Stock V10 (so that it becomes easy to root).

Did you start smartflash as admin? Disable anti virus program and firewall maybe?

Hi
This happens if you flash original v30b with smart flash and the only way to go back to GB is flash a patched v20 version....
And it directly first boots into CWM...now dont restart....just flash your backup from your memcard,this will bring your phone back alive....
You can try copy any other zip version in your memory card if u dont have backup....
The problem is original v30 formats the phone in some diff format.....
Flashing it back with CWM...brings it back alive....
If you already flashed patched version then u can try to enter CWM by console...adb reboot recovery......else do as mentioned above....

So we need a bunch of informations from you.
Which Bootloader are you on
Which sd Format is it (GB or ICS)
Have you Root
Is Your Bootloader unlocked.
it is ICS i think. i have came from ICS 4.0.4 to MIUI's rom.
Yes its rooted.
Don't know whether my bootloader is unlocked or not.
When i install a new rom after performing necessary wipes and reboot, it comes back to Xiaomi logo and MIUI's rom start but its apps and processes stop every second.
The installation of new roms that i flash says success but on rebooting MIUI comes even after installing roms.
i use CWM 6.0.2.5.
Tell me what other information you want.

Well no... but you if you are on ICS Bootloader you cant install an rom based on GB Bootloader and vice versa.
ALWAYS Check in the rom description which Bootloader is it for. Some rom´s even need to flash an own CWM Recovery File to get it work Propperly.

for unbrick followe this great senior .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1715272
that will unbrick your phone, .. after you can install a stock GB via smartflash or the ics.. you choose!
good luck
Uh, unbrick? Why is all this unbrick talk going on here, he says that his phone isn't bricked, so there's no need for that.
Are you able to boot into cwm by pressing vol down while powering on the phone? If yes, just flash the desired rom if you know which bootloader you are on.
Else, if you are not sure of bootloader, use aio toolkit. Download toolkit, install nvflash drivers in that, then select option 4, and follow the process. Select old/gingerbread bootloader when asked, and cwm version of your choice. Then put a Rom in sd card and flash in recovery.

Hey Rugglez.
But the process is the same for what muditj14 wants to do, am I wrong?. I never said it was brick. What I meant was that in order to change the boot, he must pass for process of "unbrick".
Perhaps the definition of exchange boot is not being the right one by me and I apologize if that induce someone into error.

Hey mate, what you said isnt a wrong method, but I just suggested AIO toolkit method because its so much simpler and less time consuming. Ultimately, the end result may be the same, but spyrosk has made the toolkit so user friendly that even someone without knowing anything about NVFlash can easily use it. It installs the required drivers by itself with the click of a button, and shows step by step selection of which bootloader, partition size, recovery etc. to flash, and is very safe to use

Can't install any CM10 or any zip

So, I have a problem.
I have rooted Optimus 2X and installed CWM- based recovery v6.0.1.5 and I wanted to give CM10 a shot...
But, when I tried to install zip it said installation aborted, so I thought maybe it was the recovery, but when I try to find another recovery in rom manager, it says that my phone isn't on the list...
What should I do?

i think the problem is not the cwm but the bootloader... you should know there are two one based on GB one based on ICS and you can't install an Rom for new bootloader (ics) on the old bootloader (gb) and vice versa.
mostly in the post it's told if new or old bootloader.
hope that helped hit thanks if did

i think the problem is not the cwm but the bootloader... you should know there are two one based on GB one based on ICS and you can't install an Rom for new bootloader (ics) on the old bootloader (gb) and vice versa.
mostly in the post it's told if new or old bootloader.
hope that helped hit thanks if did

have u done this ?
this is from pengus77 cm10 rom thread:
If you come from any ICS with unlocked bootloader (Topogigi, Carburano, etc...):
1) grab the recovery zip and the cm10 zip attached to this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1602866&d=1356865579)
2) enable debug in developer options (if you haven't already of course)
3) connect the usb cable to your box
4) copy the two zips in your external sd card
5) reboot to recovery by holding power and volume down
5) wipe data/cache, then go to mounts and format system (just to be safe)
6) flash the recovery zip file you previously slapped in the external sd card
7) reboot recovery from the advanced menu
8) flash the cm10 zip as usual

Not sure your bootloader was locked or not. I suggest, you refer to AIO toolkit thread in dev section and start afresh.
I think his bootloader is locked..also how did u get 6.0.1.5 cwm on ure phone lol?..pengus's recov is the only one that works for new bootloader and the ver is 6.0.2.5:-??

CM10 for which bootloader? If you are on the ICS bootloader, you cannot install official CM builds. You will have to get Pengus' unofficial build for the new bootloader (which has lots of bugs fixed anyway).

Firstly, you will probably have to restore your partitions with the AIO tool now you have flashed a zip for the wrong bootloader.
When you have done that, look in the development section for roms for the new bootloader - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1002
I recommend tonyp's Paranoid Android- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097807
Or Pengus's CM10 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2058231
There are CM10.1 roms for the new bootloader available as well. Just have a look in the development section

This happened to me a lot on my old Desire HD. Have you tried re-flashing the rom or trying a different one? Also did you clean flash?

I can't access the recovery mode to re-flash the rom or try another one.
What exactly do you mean by "clean flash" ? I'm quite a nweebie with HTC and english is not my usual language ^^

Ah okay. I would then flash a custom recovery. You can access the bootloader correct? What method did you use to install the rom? Clean flash or wipe is when you erase all the phone's system files, leaving a blank slate for a new rom to be installed on, and should be done before installing a brand new rom to avoid any issues.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568662
This is the link to the recovery image I used, it's the latest clockwordmod touch recovery. Very easy to flash as long as you have fast boot setup correctly. Once you have a working recovery you should be able to try a re-flash.

Well I entered Recovery mode through Rom Manager[/URL]clokworkmod () then used "install zip from sdcard".
I chose to keep my old data and don't make a factory reset.
The link you gave redirect me for a post of yours.

Was the recovery still stock or was a custom one flashed? Which process did you follow to root the phone? Since you can't access the recovery at the moment is suggesting it is stock. A failed rom install shouldn't corrupt recovery

I remember I've unlocked the bootloader.
I used the method described on this french website : phonandroid.com/tutoriel-comment-rooter-son-htc-one.html
On the bootloader now, i can do a factory reset. Can it be a solution ? will it or not delete the root ?

I'm not sure, since you have tried to flash another rom, a factory reset might not solve the issue. Trying shouldn't brick the phone but I can't say for sure, sorry!
The method looks similar to the one I used. Could you try following from step 6? but using a different recovery.img. I used the clockwokmod touch from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173863

Nice! Glad you have working recovery. Yes I would reinstall the rom now, and I would recommend that you wipe the system files, (except SD Card partition of course) to reduce the chance of boot loops etc

Could you send me a link to the rom you flashed? Try downloading a different rom. As you can't boot a ROM your only option may be to use ADB to push a new ROM onto your phone's storage.
See this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317989

It may have been a bad download. There isn't really any reason for it to not work, although it does say on the page it "You need TRWP 2.6.3.3 custom recovery!"
Not to worry, you can flash it in no-time. Ok so just as before, just flash a new recovery (again) and use the latest image from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7/
This should allow you to install the rom as the developers intend. It is strange though, i've never encountered a rom where a specific recovery was needed.
