Got a galaxy s gt-i9000 which I got in Italy, since it was full of crappy apps in Italian I couldn't delete (and I mean really FULL), I tried rooting it. Since it was a "JPP", there was no easy way to do this. I tried this topic randomshouting.com/2011/02/20/How-to-root-and-unlock-the-samsung-galaxy-s-jpp-build.html and that's where things went wrong.
Any help on how to get back to a working phone would be much appreciated! I can enter download mode and tried a couple of things, but nothing worked.

I used the one for when you already were on JPA (since I remembered flashing to that), and it worked. I still have voodoo on there, so I might need to flash again somewhere in the future, but for now, I'm happy. Moreover, I also finally got it rooted. Thanks!
Hey all. I got the o2x for two weeks now. After the first week i decided to root it because lg stock ROM is ****. I am still Not satisfied! It is slow and laggy imo. Im currently using gilgamesh 1.2 ROM. I really think about getting another phone. I had a desire and to be honest this phone is Not really faster. I Eintrag care about playing games.
Sorry for my bad english.

well, then u should sell it now, get a good prize and wait for htc sens. or samsung sII
I had the amoled desire and this O2X is faster by miles. I think you didn't organize your apps properly.
The LG Stock ROM is **** I agree. I replaced the homescreen with LauncherPro and froze unwanted bloatware on the first week. The whole phone system is now much faster and light without custom ROM. Love it!
Not laggy
LOL dont know what your doing to your phone but 2x is one of the fastest phones on the market and may well be the fastest. You think this phone has problems i had 4 Sony Arc they are a nightmare soo many issues and problem with screen coming away from it housing, the LG 2x is well built and fast as hell cannot waiit for it to get Gingerbread and then Honeycomb will make this phone rock and roll even more
kan someone explain how to remove the bloatware from the LG ?
im still stuck @ factory rom, but i dont feel like flashing a new one
Root, install Titanium Backup and use it to remove the things you don't want.

1) get root
2) freeze/uninstall apps using Titianium Backup / use Root Explorer or sth like that if you know which apk's you don't need and simply remove them (remember to remount /system in read-write mode)
This phone has a rubbish stock UI but great potential, it makes it more a phone for geeks rather than the masses. I've rooted and loaded CWM along with applying the dexopt fix but am yet to go the whole hog, I'd rather see what tweaking stock does before i take the whole leap of custom roms.
By the way does anyone know where the facebook/twitter/myspace apps are so i can get rid of them? I've tried Root Explorer and Titanium but i can't see them...they are just unnecessary bloatware for me.
The apk of Twitter&Facebook by LG is called SNS.apk or very similar.

Thnx Piter and Rusty !
Also the root can be done with that "super one click root" stuff ?
Yep, use that application.

Well. I learned a hard lesson yesterday. I could root the phone and uninstalled bloatwares as I wanted and everything worked fine... Until I decided to do a factory reset. The first-run setupwizard cannot find a certain app and crashes at beginning (I think it was LG Home, not sure though) left me with endless bootscreen. After hours of headache finding solution to fix it I got the phone to revert to factory settings with nvflash. Now I don't remove system app anymore but to disable them. Easiest by "freeze" them with titanium.

Without Clockwork Recovery my hands are tied. The market version of Rom Manager does not have a compatible version and I totally missed the one posted in here
I don't know any other way to push files without using Clockwork :/ If anybody knows please teach me.
ROM Manager supports both the G2X and the O2X

WOW! HOLY CRAP THIS PLACE IS DEAD! Its been a while since I read around these Zio places. Yup, my ol Zio still bootlooped (its around here somewhere). I tried all the "guides" n zip's and skd's and all that other.....stuff, its koo gathering and installing stuff and gettin that lil rush of hope, but then one lil thing goes wrong or ain't in the step-by-step guied, BOOM- all bad, and nobody's around all of a sudden. Alot of HERE, TRY THIS POST FROM SO N SO (not for the Zio), GO TO BLAHBLAH.COM install that n profit (evil setup to rom someone's phone AND wipe it clean), BUT ITS ALL MY BAD, NEWBIE like me shouldn't mess with roots n roms. Don't get me wrong, if I can find somebody that would fix it for cash, id go back to my zio and chuck this HALLWIE A2 (whatever its called) to a dev. Well, I'm probly gona get smashed for posting this. DEEEEP BREATH........K, I FEEL BETTER NOW.
Now I'm soo broke I cant even pay attention!
What you need help on? Bootloop fix? I can help you. Pm me on the details. Could you still get into faatboot or recovery? What service sprint or cricket!?

My zio is messed up too. I have no home/launcher or whatever you wanna call it. I can't get to settings to enable usb debugging either so none of the adb stuff works for me (so far). New to this and I don't want to buy another phone just yet. More details can be provided as to how this happened if needed. ty.
Not sure where it is but there was a fast boot zip of launcher apk. If you boot your phone into fast boot and cwm copy the zip to the phone and then flash the zip to your Zio it should resolve the issue

openZIO Rom issue
Hi, I just installed the openZIO 2.1.2 ROM. Everything worked fine, but after rebooting and going through the initial set up (i.e. the google user setup blahblah) the VTL Launcher continually force closes and I can't do anything but go back and recover my original boot.img has anyone else had this kind of issue? Any possible fixes? Any help would be appreciated, I know not to many people are in using the Zio forums anymore... but yeah.. Thanks in advance
Try Reflashing again
Sent from my LG-P509 using xda premium
I've actually already done that, and it's still doing the same thing. I've deleted and re-downloaded the ROM, and re-flashed it to my phone, and still having the same issue. VTL Launcher just continually force closes, and it sucks cause I've been waiting months to get to install the ROM cause I couldn't afford a new USB cord. I've read so much on this ROM and everything for the Zio and was excited to actually be able to overclock my phone, and get some pretty good performance boosts out of it. Now I got one, and can't get it to work.. what a sad day
Could you explain your steps when flashing?
Sent from my LG-P509 using xda premium
well I first move the .zip to the sd, then power down and boot up CWM, and "install from SD card" and once it's finished flashing, I reboot the phone. when it comes back up my kyocera logo comes back up and it takes me through the first-boot programming (google sign-in) and once I input my un/pw and sign in, it tells me that VTL had an error and must hit force close. and once I hit force close it continues to come up saying the same thing over and over again. so I rebooted my phone, still the same thing. SO I go back through and flash it back to my original boot.img. I have gone through and completely deleted the openZIO 2.1.2.zip file and re-downloaded it, and gone through the same steps to see if maybe it was just a bad file somehow. But to no avail, still having the same issues.
After you boot into cwm : wipe cache partition, then go into mounts and storage, format: system, data, cache :then go into advanced and wipe dalvick cache.
Now flash rom
Sent from my LG-P509 using xda premium
Ok just went through with what you had mentioned, and still getting the same results. "Sorry! The application VTL.Launcher (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. with the only option to force close. As soon as I force close, the same message pops up
Have you tryed flashing my rom?
I would try that, and see what happens.
You can always push a launcher with adb or Droid commander.

doing this now actually.. been reading for the last hour or so and seems like you did some good work on the ROM. it's flashing now, hopefully all works well I'm excited to see how it goes.
Well it flashed and well... seems to be having a strange issue.
When switching screens, it seems to glitch out? Like you see the icons, and when you switch screens, it's like the icons move but it freezes different frames. imma re-flash it in the morning to see if that helps any.

Was your phone acting like that before you flashed openzio?

Nope, I've never had these issues before. And I can still flash it back to my original boot.img and it works like before. I've never had any problems with it, so that's why I'm surprised this is happening lol

hmm.. .well maybe I'll format my sd and do a factory reset on the phone first, then try to flash the rom?
Been A long time Lurker here at XDA, so much great info and support!!
Ok so here is my problem I have a 32GB touchpad. I have WebOS running, no problems at all. I have tried many many times installing CM7 and CM7 XRON-ified. Every version and i get into this boot loop....
I have done an ACME Uninstall....reinstalled webos with the Doctor.... fresh installs of everything... full formats of "SD Card"... I am at a loss
After i have done a fresh install i will reboot into CM and it will be working... then just reboot, and start the boot loop...ill stop it on the MBOOT menu and just let it sit then boot back into CM and it will load... then randomly just reboot and go back to the boot loop...
I am at a loss... could it be hardware related... WebOS runs find and diagnostics that i have run in webos come back clean... Any one have any thoughts?.....
If you need any other info please let me know...
Thanks

Sounds to me like the caches need wiping and another fresh install. But I'm sure you've tried this so I am at a loss.

according to the thread, it does that a few times (exact numbers havent been given) because of initial settings.
the 4 TPs ive done all had at least 2 or 3 random reboots that settled out and disappeared .

Hey,
I have a nexus, but my mate has the note. He is having all sorts of problems with it when it comes to flashing ROMs. I was hoping u smart people here might be able to help
What the problem is, is that only about one in 10 ROMs will install. He flashes the usual way... wipe everything, etc but either gets in a boot loop, or just Samsung comes up on the screen, it disappears and then comes back and this repeats. He has to then pull the battery. Another weird thing is that a ROM that may not have worked a few weeks ago, he tries it again and for some weird reason it works. So far he has never been able to flash an ICS ROM.
Any ideas? I've suggested to him to start completely afresh and use fast boot, etc again, but I'm no expert myself. I've never had any dramas myself with the nexus so this has me completely stumped....
Thanks
Dean
Swiped on my Gnex
Edit: sorry guys, he used Odin, not fast boot.
Maybe he dont follow the instructions correctly

What method is he using to flash? If using pc Odin does the flash get stuck at factoryfs. Img?
Was he on ics stock and did he perform any factory resets on it?
If answers are yes, it's likely he's got traces of damage on his emmc chip, but we need to know where the flash is failing to understand further.

No and no.
His phone came with GB. He downloads the ROMs using his computer then transfers the zip to then flash using CWM recovery.
He has tried lots of different ROMs. He tried to install a new ROM the other day but before doing so he deleted a few ROMs he still had on the SD card. He flashed the new ROM and it didn't work. He freaked coz he didn't do a backup first, but he tried installed the ROMs that were still on the SD card and found them all but one to work, and the one that worked was a ROM that he had tried before but didn't work then, but this time it did work...
What is happening? Is there something he can do?

Try flashing rom with pc odin instead of cwm.
Check out Dr ketan sticky thread in rom development for directions on how to use pc odin. It's simple.
Let us know how you progress.
