go to rom manager and flash clockwork recovery..
once it tells you "successfully flashed CWM" go to Files and check if there's an update.zip if it's there you are good to go..
then go to recovery.. re-install package ( may have to re-install twice until you see green text) flash away!!
****, I went to reinstall packages and it installed update.zip even though my phone was already rooted now my super user is a ninja looking thing instead of skull and when I try to use anything requiring root it says force close super user not responding

[SOLVED]
I started the procces to flash in a custom rom, but being very careful, I proceed step by step, reading a lot in the forum.
First I rooted my X10 : I chose Z4root method, because it can be done without a PC, it comes with temporary root and unroot option. I know it work, because I can use apps that require root (easytether for instance).
Then I installed xRecovery. I could boot in xRecovery (though I had to make a couple restart before succeeding) and I made a backup.
Finally I rode a lot on different rom. It took me a long time and many days ellapsed since my xRecovery backup, so when I finally made up my mind, a new backup is required.
And then come my problem : I can't boot in xRecovery anymore.
I know I have to press 'back' several time 'just after SE label'. Well, when I boot my phone I first get a SE label, then an animation and a new SE label (with image logo). I tried to press 'back' many time at both two SE label, then press and hold, even tried the 'home' button. I never boot in xRecovery.
As I am a bit paranoid, I don't let my phone rooted when not required. I reroot everytime I need it. And of course I did it before trying to boot in xRecovery. Could it be that I messed up xRecovery doing this ? I tried to reinstall xRecovery, but obviously it does nothing (I have 'file already exist' message for each of the three 'cp commands).
I feel a bit dumb ending up asking for such a silly problem, but there must be something obvious I miss, and I can't find out what.
Thank you just for reading.
You have to press it a few times right after the very first SE logo appears.

Well I still can't boot in xRecovery whatever I do. I press many time 'back' just after first SE label but I get nothing but normal boot. I guess smething is messed up with xRecovery. I'd like to reinstall it, so I first need to have a way of uninstalling it.
Thank you anyway.
Hmm have You checked busybox? Try to uninstall xRecovery and busybox, and do a clean install of these apps. Should work.
Install xRecovery with FlashTool, it's easyer !!
umm reinstall busybox, maybe a different version if you must, and then reinstall xrecovery. tada

You would have to keep root on all the time instead of temporary root.

Many thanks. I reinstalled busybox and then xRecovery and now it works. Great.

Yes of course. When I want to use xRecovery, I need a permanent root (that's what I did). I only unroot when done and use temporary root only for tethering.
Thank you for your help.
Busibox. It was obvious. I should have found out myself...
Why wouldn't you just leave the phone rooted? really doesn't make any sense and means you can't use root apps. Rooting your phone does nothing to void your warranty and without the bootloader being unlocked there is nothing you could do to mess it up that couldn't be fixed by simply reflashing.

I am a paranoid Linux User. root sounds dangerous to me. There's no objective reason except that.

I firmly re-assure you, that rooting is NOT dangerous. All you need to do is connect to flashtool and click root. Also, lets say IF you screw up. just download the tft firmware file, no problem. As good as new.

I wouldnt constantly root and unroot because you can be doing more harm than good but whatever its your phone..
I tried to install clockworkmod recovery.
When i rebooted my phone, recovery doesnt turn on, so i wanted to solve it, when i went to root explorer but he written that i dont have root access.
I went in to menu but i doesnt found super user.
So i went to pc and rooted my again phone. When i turned on my phone, i got access to clockworkmod recovery. I pressed ,,reboot system,, button.
Phone rebooted and when it turned on i still dont have root access.
What should i do to have permanent root? Couse i have root just for clockworkmod recovery
Sorry for very bad english

Can anyone help me find a site with stock roms for lg e739 or the lg mytouch 4g? I need it to flash my phone back to stock. Any help would be greatly appreciatied.
Tsk Tsk Tsk, on you for not backing up your stock.
You could always try the LG Mobile Support Tool
www[DOT]lg[DOT]com/us/support/mobile-devices/phone-support
I havent tried to use this method yet so I'm not 100% sure it puts you back to stock, as it came out of box.
Download and install LG mobile support tool, run LG Mobile Update. Click on Customer Support in the menu, then click recovery. Remember to have your e739 connected via usb.
I did make a backup. It just won't restore. Even tried removing the Android secure file from my backup and got a md5 sum mismatch. Downloaded someone else's backup and it shut my phone off before the restore was complete just like my backup before I removed the Android secure file. Now I'm stuck wit cm7.2. Should I flash cwm before I restore like I did when I installed cm7 the first time?
Sent from my LG-E739 using xda premium
You got the md5 error because you removed something from the nandroid...thus changing the ckecksum.
I would say try flashing that nandroid that you downloaded. Makin sure its named correctly. Without removing any files from it.
Also try to redownload that stock nandroid backup n try again. Btw which one was it?
Did you wipe cache system and data partitions before flashing nandroid?
Do not wipe sd card.thats where nandroid would be.
On my e739 during flashing nandroids Ive had it get stuck at lg logo once or twice. All I did then was use adb reboot-restore...then tried reboot from cwm again...if that didnt work then do adb again to get to recovery and flash nandroid again...dont give up. If you want stock keep trying.
You could flash ur cm again to get working on ur phone again but thats not what you want is it?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
If you cant boot into an android you can use adb to push files to ur sd card...If you dont want to do that then ull have to flash cm n use file manager of choice.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
I would offer my e739 stock backup...but i got it from a third party..and it has extra bloat and carrier iq on it. so im keeping it in a safe place.

Id trade you LOL... mine wont root
Sent from my LG-E739 using xda premium
I don't know how to get adb to work. I downloaded the sdk and jdk but don't know how to set the path. I wiped data, cache, dalvik, and battery stats before I tried to restore. Still running cm7 but upgraded to the RC. It's quite smooth. Scared to try another restore since each time it stops I get a bootloop and have to hard reset to get back into recovery. And Odin doesn't support my lg. :-( any other suggestions?

If you lived close enough I would willingly trade. No lol. Real talk! But have you tried unlock root? Our worked like a charm on my e739.

To get adb working put phone in debugging mode
applications>development>tick debugging mode
Connect via usb..start>run>cmd type: cd c:\androidSDK\platform-tools
press enter
you can now type adb commands
type: adb devices hit enter that will show you connected devices
to get into recovery type: adb reboot recovery
device should now reboot into recovery

Well still not able to get adb for ask to work but on a brighter note, I finally got my phone to restore to stock. Wiped everything 3x's factory/data reset, cache, and dalvik. Then I formatted my system,hit restore, and voila! It went back. Back to cm7.2 RC since TMobile now wants to charge extra to tether. Even tried ICS or cm9 but think I'm gonna wait till there is a more stable version

well have you tryed one of many of the apps on the market to unroot it, but i cant help you with the restoring your backup if you cant restore it from cwm without problems because i have a galaxy s gt i9000
I already know how to unroot was having a prob restoring tmobiles software but its all good now!

Hello. This is my first time to post in XDA and unfortunately, I seem to have bricked (or soft-bricked) my phone.
I tried to unroot my phone, however, I got stuck in an infinite bootloop between the Samsung Startup, and the following message: Android upgrading screen saying Manual mode, Applying Multi-CSC, Applied the CSC code: BTU. Successfully applied Multi-CSC.
In an attempt to solve, I flashed the stock firmware in download mode through Odin. I got a success message, however, I cannot get past the Samsung Logo.
I would really appreciate if anyone can guide me through on how I can restore my phone. Thanks in advance.

I can't get into recovery. Is there a way to install cwn from download/Odin?
Are you sure that you can't enter into recovery mode bypressing the buttons? You was with usb debugging on? You can try to use adb "adb reboot recovery" to enter in recovery mode.

CF Root 6.4 Injects CWM via ODIN.
Your problem seems to be settings related tho, usually you get that fixed cleaning cache and dalvik, as stated before. Try to get into recovery mode to check that, and if that dont work I would try reflashing all over step by step.-

You need to hold them until your phone reboots. Takes a few seconds maybe 5-10

Congrats on your 1000th post

I'm sure the OP should be able to enter Download Mode and flash another ROM via ODIN. Try that if you can't access recovery.
Im 100% he's not doing it the right way.
If you can get in downloadmode to use Odin, you can also get in the Recovery menu.
Hold volume up , home, and power untill it reboots.
Keep holding it untill you see the white text, release power, but keep holding volume up and home.
Its not so difficult.

This happened to me to... i flashed a nordic stock rom, from JB because I wanted to go back to android 4.0.4.. now I'm stuck at the logo screen. I have noot rooted or anything so I cant go to recovery, only download mode.. What do I do?
same with the guys above but i had 4.0.4 and when i flashed stock i am stuck with the samsung logo. my s2 was fixed with the new stock rom as it seem it didnt support old stock after flashing new roms. may be is should try jb instead. all i did was used samsung tool should have done one by one myself. instead of using tool.
***Edit***
Okey I fixed it by going to recovery and then wiped up everything (dalvik/cache-data/cache partition) so it worked now... Here is the question. I bought the cell 2nd hand with paper and everything here is my question. on the box and back sticker of the cell phone it is XXXXXX/XX/XXXXXX/6 when i got the phone and did *#06# I got XXXXXX/XX/XXXXXX/04 and then when i tried to use samsung toolkit it went hanged in samsung logo so after i fixed it when i got back to the phone i checked my imei again now its XXXXXX/XX/XXXXXX/01 just the last is different is it okay or is something screwed my cell? btw it was locked to 3 and i used galaxysimunlocked (after) checking imei it is working but still i am concerned about the last number all the 14 numbers are right nothing changed.
