I am an newbie for the android world and lokking for the article about how to backup the rom of LG P500 for several days.
There are many articles about HTC's rom backup and recovery but I dont know it works for P500 or not.
Could any one tell me how to do or some apps I can download to backup full rom of P500?

I know about way, that you flash the custom recovery into phone and then boot into it and choose backup. But I have question too - is it possible to make full backup without install of custom recovery?

What you said is the point. If I flash the custom recovery into the rom, I'll lost the warranty. So I need to backup the original rom in other way, apps or adb command.
any tutorials?

I'm not sure, but I think that it will be problem. You can not make dump of system if this system is running = you have to run some another "system" which is independent on system which you want to backup.
What are you thinking guys? Or can be make dump of system which is actually running?
I haven't tried yet to flash or to use a custom recovery, but I suppose that if you run the recovery without flashing it (via USB and ADB), you will not loose anything at all.. exactly like I did for my HTC Magic a while ago..
If my idea is correct, you can plug the cable, make a backup of your phone as it is, then do whatever you want

If someone can find an early lg test rom or earlier than first shipped rom from lg updater that the bootloader allows fastboot there is a way to boot recovery via fastboot without flashing it. Without fastboot you have to actually flash it. You can easily backup your stock-recovery and reflash that back if needed for warranty etc.
If you would like to back up your stock recovery you can do it via this command from a root shell PRIOR to flashing recovery
Code:
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd2 of=/sdcard/stock-recovery.img bs=4096

Without a leaked rom with fastboot enabled bootloader then no as nandroid has to be run from recovery.
I have found the rom version v10h of LG Optimus One P503 (P500 in China),
here's link: link.52lg.com/52lg/GSM/P503/P503-V10h.rar
but I dont know it's reality.
With fastboot disabled, you can't backup your rom without flashing a custom recovery. And it seems nobody has found a way to enable fastboot yet. See also this thread.

Or in phone use "Terminal Emulator" app and type this command via it.
Hi all.
This is an interesting topic to me: the hard reset is able to restore a "warranty included" situation (obviously loosing any data in the internal flash memory)? What exactly does a hard reset on LG Optimus One?
thank you.
Will this command enable me to backup the default rom without installing a custom recovery rom? If so then how can I restore it later on? Will it keep all my current applications, cache, data, system definitions, etc?
No, this command backup only original recovery.
If you install custom recovery for make a nandroid backup, you can return back of the original recovery, just like that warranty is not lost
Sounds great, I want to do a Nandroid backup but was kinda nervous about losing the default recovery permanently.
So what would be the command to restore the original recovery if necessary?
You only posted the one to do the backup : )
Hi guys.
So i've a question: How can I flash my backup of the stock-recovery?
I did the backup how it's described here.
I've got the drellisdee custom recovery.
Do I only have to flash the recovery via the custom recovery?
Do I have to delete the files which I flashed when I did flash the custom recovery?
Thanks

NO, you can't flash recovery via custom recovery,
NO, you don't have to delete files what you are already fleshed.
For restore just enter command
Code:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/my-original-recovery.img
You don't have to do rest of command.
Sorry for all the noob questions which follow, but I've tried reading up on related stuff & still feel lost. Also, the above posts answer the questions already, but I'd still like some clarification/confirmation. Thanks for your patience & time. Much appreciated.
1. When I open Terminal Emulator on the phone, I get this blue screen which says-
$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
$
Can I simply copy paste the given command viz. dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd2 of=/sdcard/stock-recovery.img bs=4096 next to the above prompt & get a backup of the ROM? If not, what else needs to be typed in?
2. & can this same ROM be restored using the command given viz. flash_image recovery /sdcard/my-original-recovery.img at the same prompt? Would restoration then put the phone in a state whereby LG cannot know that the phone's ROM had been changed & thus make it eligible for warranty?
3. Will this save contacts & messages as well, or do these need to be backed up separately?
4. What does the 4096 in the command signify?
Again, thanks a lot.

Hello all!
I post this message to ask a little help as I made a very stupid mistake!
I already posted my issue in the Amon-RA recovery thread but I tried different solutions and nothing works :'''((( Help !!!!
I run a Modaco Custom Rom 3.0 and I had Amon RA recovery version 1.5.2.
I decided to upgrade to 1.6.2.
Well, you know... when it's the third time you install a recovery, you don't pay as much attention as you do the first time ... and I stupidily downloaded and installed the recovery of "Hero SPRINT"... and I owe a "Hero NOT SPRINT" of course.
Good new : my phone can load the ROM normally (hallelujah)
Bad new : of course, recovery menu can't be loaded anymore.
So, before I tried this method :
via fastboot + adb -> In case you don't have a custom recovery, so when you get signature fail errors
Code:
adb shell reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
adb shell reboot
But the second command fails (fastboot)... not allow.
Then, I tried the Flashrec solution (the one I used to root my phone the first time).
Backup of recovery or flashing recovery both fail with Flashrec.
Additional info : Formating the SDCARD via my phone doesn't work ... it's a Modaco bug, i'm not the only one in this case... so I can't format sdcard via my phone.
Seriously guys, I have a rooted custom ROM, there should be a way to get my recovery back :-(
Please please, don't ask me to try gold card... first step is formatting the sdcard via Hero... and I can't even do it.
Many many thanks for people trying to help me!
Don't take my post as being a solution because I'm a noob, but can't you flash the stock ROM off the Hero website and root it again?

Hmm. Right. You're in a pickle here. Locked bootloader is a nuisance.
Put the SD card into the computer via memory card reader.
BACKUP CONTENTS BEFORE PROCEEDING. Now format card as FAT32 via computer card reader. Then follow the goldcard guide (there's a copy at http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=375 or on the site here, but I dunno where it is as it's buried off front page I think)
So get your CID, do the usual stuff with making img, and put it onto card as usual. This should get you goldcard.
Then use card to downgrade to the old RUU, and root back from there
HTH
Ok guys, got it back this night, fully recovered at 3 AM!
Here's the story... with nearly all the possible issues you can encounter in the same case.
I first checked on which ROM Modaco 3.0 is based : 2.73.405.66 ... so that explains why I couldn't use Flashrec directly.
So, I started the Gold Card procedure.
As specified, I can't format via my Hero. Android beeing based on Linux, I decided to format a SD card via Linux (I'm a linux user ...), but I don't know if it changed something or not.
I could create the Gold Card.
Once I had my Gold Card, I downloaded Titanium Backup, made a donation and waited for my license to arrive.
I did a full backup.
Then, for downgrading, you need to use HTCsync. Good... oh, right, I removed it from my Modaco ROM!. So, unzip the Modaco ROM 3.0, get the PCSCII.apk and "adb push" it back on the "/system/app" folder.
Then, ok, launch HTCsync on the computer, and finally on the phone. Oh, my phone doesn't detect HTCsync on my PC!.
Aaaallllll riiiight !!! Uninstall my HTCsync, download last version, reinstall... and it worked!
Then, downgrade... and the Flashrec story went OK, so I got my recovery back. Once I have the recovery, my Hero is more or less saved. I upgraded back to the same Modaco 3.0 because I wanted to restore the whole Titanium Backup without versions issue. This did perfectly the trick! The only thing I had to reconfigure is my standby wallpaper!!!! Awesome tool !
My phone is happy, I am too... but hey, I woke up at 11:30 this ""morning""...
Maybe this will help another guy one day...

I guess you have flashed a 2.3.3 kernel so you are experiencing issues.........so now just boot your phone in bootloader then select fastboot > connect your phone to pc (it should say fastboot usb on phone)> now open cmd > head to your fastboot folder in cmd> then type fastboot boot xxxxx.img (xxxx = your recovery img (cwm/twrp) ) > Now your phone will boot into recovery > then restore your Nandroid backup .......
Hope this helps
If the above didnt work try to flash boot.img from your nandroid backup using fastboot (not recovery) with command "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
press thanks if i helped you
is there a way i can do it without my computer im at work,so i don't have all my files on hand...thanks this has got me stomped......
I m sorry you cannot do it without a pc .....you know the limitations of htc unlock method...you can only flash kernels made for 2.3.4 from flash image gui......you can always download those fastboot/adb files from here or google for it.They are just a few kb's

This isn't true. Flash Image GUI will flash the kernel for any version, but if your system OS is not also updated at the same time, the device will not boot.
If you're looking to do a nandroid restore w/o using fastboot (or being attached to a computer), here are the steps I would suggest:
1) From Flash Image GUI, select the boot.img from inside of the custom recovery backup directory on the /sdcard. Flash this kernel.
2) Reboot directly into recovery mode. Run the nandroid restore for that SAME backup as the boot.img was pulled from and flashed via Flash Image GUI.
3) After nandroid restore finishes, reboot and the device should be back to the previous state found in the backup.
Remember, this is a work around for the HTC unlock and might not always be the best solution.
Keep us updated and let us know. Hope that helps!

If the device won't boot past the splash screen, chances are the issue is kernel related. For kernel related issues, the ONLY method provided by HTC via their unlock is to use fastboot to boot the recovery. This is the only accessible mode HTC grants write access to the kernel partition.
This is the only way HTC provides write access to the kernel for a device that is not booting properly. The command using fastboot is as follows: fastboot boot c:\recovery.img .
This command will temporarily load the custom recovery with kernel write access allowing a proper recovery to take place.
One reason the device is not booting could be the android OS version mismatches with the kernel, therefore the kernel's ramdisk is looking for files which are not present and cause the device to either freeze or reboot.
There are other reasons too, probably too many worth detailing out as the easiest route to solving the issue is to restore back to a known good working nandroid or cleanly load another known working ROM/kernel combination.
Hope that helps clarify! Best of luck!

hi guys
i've unlocked my HTC ONE X + international!
but now i can't go further the HTC logo
i tried fastboot, flashing boot and recovering recover.img. but nothing go right.
Some questions:
Which rom did you try to flash?
What method did you use to flash it? (e.g. Hasoon's all in one tool/through recovery/sideload)
Did you make sure to flash your kernel (boot.omg) separately?
Did you perform a full wipe before flashing?
Can you enter the bootloader by holding volume-down while powering the phone on?
Can you use adb or fastboot to interact with the phone? e.g.
Code:
$ adb reboot bootloader
or
$ fastboot devices

after i unlocked the phone i've used fastboot to fastboot recovery.img
and that's all i did .
now i have low battery
Boot into bootloader by holding volume-down and restarting the phone (if you don't know how to do that, hold the power button until the capacitive lights flash).
Then, try flashing a recovery image. You can get twrp from the thread in the One X+ Original Android Development forum. I think you already have the platform tools (adb and fastboot).
The command to flash a recovery is:
Code:
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
This is assuming your recovery filename is "recovery.img" and that it's in the same directory as your command prompt when you run the command.

If you've gotten the recovery installed, then you can sideload the rom onto the phone. I can give you instructions to do that with TWRP as your recovery. With your phone connected to your computer, enter the recovery from the bootloader. Choose the "Advanced" button, and then "ADB Sideload" and then swipe to start the sideload process.from your command line on your computer, you can now start the sideload process:
Code:
$ adb sideload name-of-rom-zip-file.zip
Obviously you would need to put the actual name of your rom's zip file and make sure your zip is in the correct directory to be picked up by the command. You should see the rom begin to upload to your phone, and when it's done, it will automatically flash.
I've found that sometimes sideload can take a little while to detect the phone but usually it detects it immediately. If it's taking a while, try running the following command and then do the sideload again; it might help:
Code:
$ adb kill-server
$ adb sideload name-of-rom-zip-file.zip
Don't forget that because we haven't gotten S-OFF for our device yet, we need to flash the kernel separately. Just open the rom zip file, and extract "boot.img". Then you need to enter the bootloader and flash that to your phone with this command:
Code:
$ fastboot flash boot boot.img
Hopefully that helps to sort your phone out.
thanks for help! )))

hi, i have one more problem (((
i've installed custom ROM, but only AOKP is working but not properly, after installing says there is no SD card ((
others stuck in loading screen.
This is because the default location of your SD card has changed from /data/media to /data/media/0. You can fix it by simply moving the contents of /data/media to /data/media/0.
Code:
$ adb remount
$ adb shell
# mv /data/media /data/0
# mkdir /data/media
# mv /data/0 /data/media/
Make sure you copy the commands exactly, including the slashes and that should have the contents of your SD card accessible again.

every rom needs the correct boot.img/kernel to work. did you flash blade kernel for CM 10.1? did you wipe/factory reset your phone in recovery before you flashed CM 10?
Exactly what reaper90 said, the first thing you should check when you get a bootloop is the kernel.
A lot of other phones don't require you to flash the kernel separately, but those phones have S-OFF available to them. Since we're stuck with S-ON (for now), the boot partition is locked and can't be written to from the phone. So you have to flash the img containing the kernel + ramdisk separately. Also note that max has done three different versions of the BLADE kernel, so you need to ensure that you're grabbing the correct one.
Check max's post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34962464&postcount=1
Edit: Just another couple of things:
1. Like reaper90 said, doing a full wipe really helps when switching between roms. Usually you can get away without wiping if you're installing a new version of the SAME rom, but to be on the safe side I personally wipe everything when I flash a different rom.
2. If you're certain that you've done everything correctly, and it's still not working, try clearing your cache and dalvik cache from the recovery. Occasionally that can fix minor problems.

nothing to say, just HUGE THANKS!!! )))
i have more questions, one of them is - how can i rollback stock ROM for my HOX+? i've bought it in UAE!
is it possible to install original ROM, if so where can i find one for my HOX+ ?
thanks in advance !
Sure, it's possible, and you have a couple of options depending on how "stock" you want to go.
If you just want to go back to a Sense rom, you can go to the One X+ Android Development forum and download any of the international roms from there. You would need to flash Elite kernel or hXORe kernel, which can also be found in that forum, and the process for flashing the rom and kernel is exactly the same as the AOKP/CM roms you already tried.
If you specifically need to get back to STOCK, then it's a little more complicated. You need to run a RUU (Rom Update Utility) for your device, which will put the original software back on your phone, but you need to remember to re-lock your bootloader before you run it, or it will fail. You can download the correct RUU for your device here (http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=ENRC2B).
I would hazard a guess that you can find the right version by matching the radio version on your phone to the radio version on the RUU, along with your geographic location. You can find your phone's radio version by going to settings > about phone > baseband version. A quick explanation behind that logic is that a normal rom-flash won't touch your phone's radio, so you're likely to still have the same radio version that your phone shipped with.
WARNING, however, messing with your radio can brick your device so please please make sure you have the right one before you flash. I'm not sure which is the correct one for your device and the only RUUs I've ever flashed were way back in the early Windows Mobile days, so hopefully someone else here can give you better direction on that point.
Finally, if I were to give my opinion, you're better off taking a rom from the Android Development forum. I'm a die-hard AOSP fan, but I've flashed and played with the roms in there and our Sense devs have done a great job with the X+. The only reason I'd go back to stock is if I had to for warranty purposes.

As already said, I'd recommend installing a stock like custom rom, for example Android Revolution HD, it's very close to stock. You can find stock kernel/boot.img in the thread and if you want it as close to stock as possible you can just leave out all the tweaks options in aroma installer.
reaper90 & thank u BROS! )))
So my LG G watch is the latest one 5.1.1 and i rooted it but then i tried to flash a custom rom and it just sits at the LG screen with the little lock on it, i can get into boot loader and TWRP recovery, What do i do? when i exit TWRP it says you dont have an OS installed. Could i just flash the factory image in TWRP?
use the tool to go back to stock lca43 or z22d

Probably. Alternatively, if you can get into TWRP, use my backup. Go into TWRP, make a backup of your broken setup first, then push the backup folder (LCA43) to the TWRP top backup folder (probably "/sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/dory/", but you can adb shell to explore this). Then just restore my backup. You will want to factory reset once that is done.
Hope this helps.

Shouldn't have to mount anything. Just use " adb push LCA43 ‹path to dory TWRP backup on sdcard› ". Use " adb shell " to cd and ls for your destination.
i got it all done. Thank you.

someone can just fastboot boot twrp.img and back up stock recovery/boot partitions then share the backups for people to restore
since i haven't enabled backup for recovery partition, you can simply use from adb or terminal to create stock recovery.img:
Code:
dd bs=2M if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery of=/external_sd/recovery.img
the same is doable for boot (which flashing will unroot you):
Code:
dd bs=2M if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=/external_sd/boot.img
bugger i could have done this but it's too late now :/ maybe put a request for this in the main thread?
Have you looked into flashing the KDZ here?
