so, first, i planned to install a new rom for my lg optimus one p500. and to do that, u must do nandroid backup first in the reboot into recovery mode. BUT, i did a mistake. i didnt install the recovery.zip first. so i did the three button combo hoping to open the recovery mode to do nandroid backup without installing recovery.zip first
then, when i do the three button combo, of course, there is no custom recovery appear at all because i didnt download the recovery.zip, and my phone is booting, right after that, my phone ask me what language my phone will use and told me to create a google account and finally press 'use phone'. then i realised my wallpaper has changed to default. and why i enter menu, all my downloaded apps and games are gone. that i dowloaded from the market and some from freeware. HOW CAN I GET MY DOWNLOADED APPS AND GAMES BACK?? THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO KNOW.
i think i accidentally did facetory reset on my phone. helo me guys is there any way i can get it back?? though its not a big deal if cant take it back. so i guess i just have to redownload them back. but just incase there is way to get it back so i didint make myself feel stupid redownloading them back when there is can get it back. so help me guys. i just want to know can i get back my downloaded apps and games back or not.
thanks, hoping to get some replys
HOME + VOLDOWN + POWBUTTON = RECOVERY. If you installed the custom recovery, you're taken to AmonRA/Clockwork/Whatever-you-installed. If you didn't install any custom recovery, you're taken to the factory reset mode thingy, which, resets your stuff.
I'm afraid nothing can be done However, I'm not sure if FroYo's way of moving apps to the SD moves the apk itself. If that's the case, you can browse to that directory and install the apks, but I don't think it's there.

thanks for your reply.
the problem is, when i did the home+voldown+powerbutton, i didnt install the custom recovery first, so thats why my phone taken to the factory reset. and all my stuff i saved in my phone memory are gone.
so... i guess i just have to redownload my downloaded apps and games again?
Yea, I find it stupid how they use the same buttons to factory reset to get into custom recovery... the same problem's been reported a few times here as well.
There is nothing you can do to get them back unless you wanna go to each app and download/install them again. But since you've already resetted everything, why not attempt to flash custom recovery and try new ROMs, literally, you have nothing to lose now =D

I have a fascinate now, I had an eris then an incredible. Anyway, I rooted my eris and my incredible and flashed many roms with much luck. This phone is a little difficult. I can root easily but installing is difficult. I can't install anything from the sd card. I have tried it two different ways in Rom manager (direct install and booting into recovery) If i hold the vol keys and power, unless i apply the update, it wont go to clockwork. It is actually on the stock recovery. Anyway, I just can't figure out how to install anything on this phone from the sd card. I get to the install screen, it finds and opens the packages, but the freezes on the install. I'm terribly annoyed as it is with this phone. I used google all the time, now I'm using a quick search app. ADW launcher the drawer disappears randomly, and I just don't like launcher. So anyway, I can't install anything from sd, so therefore I can't get google search working or setcpu, and cant flash a diff ROM. I must be doing something wrong. Please help!!!

ClockWorks on the Fascinate does not overwrite the stock recovery.
In order to get into CWM, you must run update.zip *every* time you want to get into CWM. This is not likely to change any time soon.
Once in CWM, the back key is the "select" key and the volume up/down are the up/down keys.
First thing is first: i you have rooted, boot into stock recovery, apply update.zip to get into CWM recovery and backup your device.
Then play.
yeah i get that.. after the backup and even wipe data and cache it gets stuck at the install part. I have titanium and always nand but when I install the zip from the sd card it finds the package and opens the package, but then always freezes on the installing the package part. That's where I'm having issues

Having come from the Eris myself, I know your pain. I will suggest, if you attempt to install anything, and I mean **anything** related to voodoo, not only should you back up/nandroid first, but you should probably go ahead and familiarize yourself with Odin and recovery steps. Also, you cannot be patient enough, sometimes takes up to 10 min + for installs/disables. I am in my 2nd 2-day recovery process from removing Voodoo, and I frankly suggest avoiding it altogether.
In Rom Manager (clockwork), did you click on FLash ClockworkMod Recovery and select the Fascinate? If so, and still hanging, I would recommend uninstalling/reinstalling clockwork as a next step. Best of luck!
I wanted to change the kernel from my P500 to solve the lag problem and get better overall performance.
I rooted the phone using gingerbreak 1.20
after that i installed from the market Rom manager restarted the phone, and i backup the phone from there.
After that I got stuck with my kernel replacement and I gave up and I wanted to reset the phone to default state. I didn't do anything to my phone.
I unrooted the phone and did the factory data reset.
Now when I reboot the phone and press power+volume down+home I still get the Clockworkmod Recovery boot menu. In an untouched P500 what do you get when pressing that combination? Is there any way to make my phone 100% factory state ?
sorry for my bad english
u should even delete the recovery.....(TO get rid of it)
the recovery is on the sd card, right? i formated the sd card... so there is nothing related to rom manager...
u must try flashing the default rom from the devlopment forum.(KDZ Updater)
blah
if i wait for gingerbread update will the update solve this?
The Recovery is not on the sdcard.
Go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065197
and download the file "Original_Recovery_thunderg.zip" (or something to that effect) and flash it through cwm. This will restore the recovery as it was originally.
The zip is unsigned so you will have to toggle signature verification in cwm recovery.
@mihir he doen't want to get his recovery back(in other word he wants to remove it).
@soberspine http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944881 check dis thread and install the original rom...
@devil the original recovery zip in the link will restore the condition of the recovery to factory condition, i.e remove it.
this android reminds me of installing windows 95
the new unpdate to gingerbread will come out next month, so the update to 2.3 will get rid of that boot menu and other things that where changed when I installed Rom manager? in other words will the phone go to factory state before rooting/unrooting and stuff.
Yeah most probably the recovery will be cleared if and when you update to gb. But if you want to clear it now use the zip, it works.
Sent from my LG Optimus One P500 using XDA App
I don't think you'll be able to update to GB from a custom ROM or rooted phone. Even if the option comes up, it is recommended to go back to stock state (without recovery and root) or else it might cause problems.
i didn't installed any custom rom. the only thing I did was to root my phone using gingerbreak and then installed rom manager.
the only thing that changed to my phone is that now it has that boot menu clockworkmod.
now i unrooted my phone.
So it is not safe to make official update even if the only change is that i have on my phone clockworkmode?
Step by step picture guide to completely restore to open-box state using KDZ updater
did this for thousands of times and if you are doubted in any steps feel free to ask me
btw for your question, an un-touched optimus one pressing the recovery combination will result in
a stable image of an android jumped out of a white-rectangular box
a bar at the bottom loading
but that's it, nothing more no matter how long you wait
Also for your updating question:
LG WONT recognize your phone with their official updating tool only when you are ROOTED (so of course when you perform any other steps after rooting, it wont either... e.g. installing custom recovery, flash roms etc)
BUT if you go back to the original thing with KDZ, LG will update anything for you -tested by myself!
thank you for all the clarifications and the tutorial.
I will wait now for the new android 2.3 release and ill do the whole thing then.
It is possible after rooting and installing clockworkmod the phone to work slower?
It feels like the phone is responding slower or maybe is just me imagining things .
hehe. nothing like that.

Right, it wont be slower dont worry
I gained root access through superoneclick gingerbreak. It gave me the superuser app and i downloaded rom manager but whenever i try to get to clockwork recovery mode it keeps going to samsung recovery. No matter how many times I hit re-install packages it goes back to the samsung recovery. What did I do wrong? Should I have gained root another way? Should I try to flash back to 2.1? Please help I'm so frustrated.
first off dont use gingerbreak. Just odin back to stock and then root by installing the update package twice and after twice ur recovery should turn blue to green.
here follow this, use the eclair root guide:

no modded 3e recovery..so it will keep going to Stock recovery. You need to do what movie said or flash a voodoo kernel or flash a modded 3e recovery.
Interestingly enough I have the same problem, 100% rooted, super user access no issue, busy box installed, root manager installed.
I upgraded the 2.1 to 2.2 from the kies mini software.
I have been doing a ton of reading and would like to start flashing roms, etc etc.
Through titanium backup, I have un-installed a large mount of apps and have not suffered any problems as of yet, but would like to try some custom roms.
My question is, since I uninstalled alot of things, only apps that are bloatware, and since I can't get my clockwork recovery console to take affect, do I have to follow post #2?
Is this link the right one taken out of the link from post #2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047087
Is this the final and correct link, since I do not store data on my phone, and all contacts are on my sim card, and really haven't done any customizations to anything really, can I just odin back and not back anything up? All I use my phone for is calls, txt's and internet, I don't bookmark anything, I don't save txts and call logs mean nothing to me?
I assume I will have to re-root my phone again and do the same procedures, etc etc.
Also as a side note, I am a minimalist type of person, that's why I use linux at home, no windows of any kind (I'll do this procedure at work). Any roms out there that can handle my needs of simply calls, txt'ing and internet without all the other stuff? I don't use GPS, I don't facebook or social network, I don't play games on my phone. I do need however, the use of the camera and video recorder.
Thanks.
I would just follow my advice and odin back to stock its really easy and safe to do. Well if the only apps u have left are bloatware and u dont save anything else i guess u wont need to back anything up before odin. Well the thing its alot easier to root 2.1 then 2.2.
Once ur at 2.1 just do the root process of installing update package twice and after twice ur recovery will turn from blue to green.
follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9375927
the eclair guide
heres the steps for download mode just in case:
power off phone
pull out battery
turn on odin
attach phone to pc with usb cable
now while holding down both volume buttons put battery back in.
now you should be in download mode and go back to stock with odin from here!
make sure u put the proper .pit and .pda file in there proper places on odin and ur set to go.
Enjoy and also make sure u have the proper samsung drivers
So, is this the right link from the guide you posted, it's amazing, I read so many things today that It's easy to get a little well, brain farty, ya know.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047087
Also, I have the kies mini drivers installed, that's how I updated from 2.1 to 2.2 so I assume those will work fine?
BTW, this is the coolest community, props to all involved!!!
Now, I edited my post I think while you were replying, any rom suggestions for a simple user who likes minimal applications but just a well running phone that's not clogged to the gills with stuff?

Yep, that seems to be the consensus, thank you
Guys,
A huge thanks, odin'd back to 2.1, rooted, removed the bloatware I didn't want, gonna make a nandroid back, then proceed on to bionix.
I can understand how first time users can get nervous but once done, the process really is not that hard, just takes patience and making sure everything is prep'd before doing so.
I hope I can now help others if you guys don't beat me to it first
My only question is this: when I create my nandroid backup, where does it go and do I need to save it somewhere just in case like a usb key or something along those lines or does it reside on the phone. Only asking cause I have not yet done this step
U can always make a extra backup and store them on ur ext sd
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Okay, so I assume the backup, made from rom manager "backup current rom" gets stored to the internal memory on the phone?
Any special settings or it just does it's thing, should be smaller than normal as I removed quite a bit of junk and stuff.
i did what you said and i still cant get into clockwork recovery screen! i went back to stock rom, reinstalled packages twice and i still have samsung recovery. i know i have root because i get the super user asking me to give clockwork root access!
So I assume you odin'd back to 2.1, rooted have installed titanimum backup and busy box, rom manager, tapped the flash clockworkmod recovery, then "reboot in recovery" choose update. I rebooted via the rom manager menu, not via the phone itself. I had to update twice immediately, didn't reboot and do it again. I saw it installing and it kinda hung, then used the volume down to update again, and was completed.
Also after installing titanium there was an update for super user, which I also installed as well. Did you do this? Not sure if it has any bearing but thought it was worth mentioning.
It worked seamlessly for me, I had to update twice, then purple turned to green and all is well.
Can you post your steps you took to get back to 2.1, how you rooted, etc etc?
It's kinda fresh in my mind as I only did it about 2 hours ago.
my screw up after i flashed clockwork and rebooted i didnt apply package. all is good now. thx for all the info!
Anytime, I found the process to be quite interesting and taught me alot and also removed my fear of installing new roms and such.
Make sure to create your backup through rom manager. When you do, it will reboot into clockwordrecovery and show you the progress, didn't take that long for mine but I removed alot of nonesense from 2.1. This will be your emergency fall back, you might know this already but just making sure, as I am quite a noob at this point ROFL!
Enjoy
ps - I still can't decide on a new rom, I'm so fussy about stuff, ugh.
I only recently got into the whole rooting deal, but i followed the instructions precisely double checking and everything went along well , after that i installed most of the apps from here, made a full backup with titianium backup, but then i decided to try and install a custom rom, which was where i made my first mistake, i made a backup of the current(stock) rom and then went straight on to downloading cyagenmod 7.2 to try it out on my phone.
When i started the install i obviously had the pre install options, i only left the one check there which was wipe delvik cache i think figuring that was all i needed to do. Phone rebooted and the loading logo started but didnt go past it and after it had reappeared for 3 times the screen just went in a white screen with differently colored horizontal stripes, i thought my phone was now bricked, but i managed to turn it off and turn it back on and get into recovery mode. I tried to do a recovery which didnt do anything, after that i just selected factory reset thinking it will get me back to the stock rom, but instead CM worked and finally got past the loading logo, i checked in the CWM if i had the backup i had made before trying to install CM and it was gone.
I want to know what i have done wrong(i obviously have), how can i reverse it and how to install roms properly(preferably in simple language). I already found this thread.
Phone: LG Optimus Hub (E-510)
P.S. I am missing the Play store app, is this normal for CM?
1. You got into bootloop because you didn't do factory reset/full wipe (the /data partition wasn't wiped, files on this partition were from stock ROM and weren't compatible with CM) -> this is the reason why it booted after full wipe. Full wipe only deletes data, it will not restore stock ROM.
2. '... i checked in the CWM if i had the backup i had made before trying to install CM and it was gone'
Are you sure you made a backup? Or didn't you delete it?
3. For the Play store - CM ROMs ussually don't have Google Apps in them, you have to flash them after CM installation (look in the ROMs thread for Google apps/ GApps)
1. Thanks for the explanation, im defineatly going to keep in mind to wipe the next time i attempt to install a custom rom. Is the stock rom still in my phone or do i have to look online for one?
2. I belive you are right, i do remember wanting to do a backup, but i might have forgotten about it, i did one now so i can have something to go back to just in case.
3. Dont really understand this, can you please direct me to a thread for this? I tried doing the flash CWM recovery which didnt do anything, could i try using my backups from titanium backup to get the apps back on the phone? It would be quite a mess to get all of it downloaded again.
Edit: i tried installing google play downloaded from other sites and whenever i go into it, it asks me to add an account, but when i press yes, it just closes.

First things first. Before you do anything else you need to do some reading in order to understand the Basics of Android. Otherwise your going to get yourself in a bind again. In my Signature your going to see some links if your on a PC. You should check them out, they will help with answers to a lot of your questions.
I cant thank you enough, i was looking for something like this! :good:
I will have something to read in my spare time, as little of it i have trough.
Your welcome . Glad I could help.
TEAM MiK
MikROMs Since 3/13/11
basically, i accidentally wipe all data on my phone and needed a new android version
so i flashed the 4.1.2 rom from some other website
google asked me if i wanna get the backups back
i pressed yes (dont know if this is why) (my phone was rooted)
nothing happened throughout the night, i have a game which only works on non-rooted devices, and it worked
but when i wake up the next morning, a superuser icon appeared on my phone
i tried to open it, and i can tell that it is a old version, because it has only got apps, and log list
then i tried to start up my game and it didnt work
so i tested it on root explorer and realized that my phone isnt even rooted?
which led me to finding root websites and wanted to root my phone again
and my phone still isnt rooted........
so, now im tired of reflashing everything (i flashed it 3 times before)
i just wanted to uninstall superuser off my phone and undo whatever i did using that link...
i tried uninstalling from google play, it asked me to update superuser first, so i did, but when i pressed the uninstall button after, it only uninstalled the update
tried to use "root app uninstaller", dont even see superuser in the list...
tried to use root explorer, only allowed me to stay in "read-only" mode, so i couldnt delete the superuse.apk in /system/apps..
please help...... thanks
(ill flash rom if there is no choice... and please provide a trust-able link... i tried so many different rom flashing websites and they all dont work well...)
thanks

i stays on the "samsung" screen
Try to get in either Recovery (Vol up+power+home) although i doubt you have any newfirmwares stored there, but you can, as gaston said, wipe data + cache and dalvik cache then from there you can press (Vol down+power+home) to get into download mode and from there flash the firmware you want.
Hope it helps!
I dont think you can just uninstall SuperSU, but i maybe am wrong. It seems like you don't want to be rooted anymore which is why i suggst to flash a stock Samsung official firmware through download mode. Get stock official firmware from here (choose the one that fits your phone's information) and if you need more help, just reply.
