Call for Devs: Custom Roms without Recovery but Fastboot? - Optimus One, P500, V General

Aaah, koreans and their awesome phones (yes optimus one)..
Calling all devs:
Can we flash roms WITHOUT custom recovery? we have a LOT of korean optimus users whining about it.. my nationalistic mind is intrigued.. apparantly the korean optimus cannot be flashed with a custom recovery.. maybe their fault in their crappy reading, or maybe LG's demonic plan to disable custom roms ONLY in korea.
BE ADVISED---
On Korean Optimuses..
1. Root is a go. people have no problem getting root
2. Terminal Emulator and ADB is working
3. Fastboot Works apparantly by # reboot fastboot
Thanks. Cheers. Hopefully we can get a way to do stuff without custom recovery.

So I tried very much too.
but It wasn't work ToT
I think P500(Global optimus one) ≠ Korean optimus one
I wanna flash roms..
아 저도 여러번 시도해 보았지만,
되지 않고 있네요.
옵큐가 넥원의 리커버리를 이용해서, 뚫었다는 말을 듣고 해보았으나,
LG로고에서 멈추네요.. 이런..
해상도 때문일지도 모르죠.
아 진정 적용할만한 방법은 없는건가요?

only a korean can port recovery to korean optimus, because the devs dont hav korean o1. or u guys can gift a korean o1 to mik or andy so tht they can try port recovery to ur phone

why don't u try to enter in Emergency Mode
so u can use kdz to downgrade to 2.2?

무슨 뜻인지 모르겠네요;; 죄송하지만 영어가 조금..
대충 보기로는 커스텀 리커버리 깔았다가 벽돌이 됬다 이런얘기 같은데..
외국 옵원이랑 한국 옵원이랑 조금 달라요 (한국 옵원은 DMB가 있다던가, GSM대신 CDMA라던가..) 그렇기 때문에 커스텀 리커버리는 돼도 외국 롬은 안깔리지요.
그리고 2.2.2는 아시다시피 루팅이 안돼기 때문에 KDZ 있어도 xda 개발자들이 만지기 어려울듯. KDZ는 롬파일 맞습니다.
커스텀 리커버리는 깔리시나요? 루팅>터미널로 flash>터미널로 reboot recovery
하시면 될텐데.. 벽돌 될지도.. 답변 달아 주시길. 문제 생기면 한글로 적어주세요 제가 번역해드릴게요.

First you have to go back to 2.2 , because 2.2.2 is not rootable. Then , you can root your phone with z4root , flash drellisdee's recovery and only then can you start having fun with custom roms
ah
I can root in android 2.2.2 by SuperOneClick
and My phone rooted
so
I need recovery T_T

[Q] LG Phoenix ClockworKmod Recovery

I have an LG Phoenix P505 on froyo and it is rooted. I want to install ROMs and create a backup through ROM Manager but my phone isn't listed there. So can someone tell me if it is safe to use the LG Optimus One P500 ROM for the Clockworkmod recovery?
nothing in this forum is safe for you to use unless stated otherwise. the only thing i have seen that is meant for your phone is this. flashing anything on your phone that is meant for the p500 will cause you to brick your phone or create a lot of problems that you will never want to find uot
Hey guys...
I'm using LG Optimus Z. Please show me install clockworkmod recovery for optimus z ( Know as Ku9500/ Su950)

For rooting, just follow the steps here. As for custom roms, haven't seen one yet. Custom Recovery for P690 still has to be verified if it'll work with P698.

I confirm the existing CWM Recovery brick my P698 today. I send it back to LG SC and may get one replacement. Root is OK but NEVER flash recovery.

True, but at least it raises the hope that we'll soon get a ROM for P698 too.

At last! I tired a new rom in our p698!!
Both run adw launcher is pretty cool. But personally I did not like both. One could see the battery drain in numbers, which was horrifying!
Moreover, has it ever occurred that when you are running a launcher, the phone does not sleep how long it takes or press the power button? It happens to me occasionally, and goes to sleep only if I call the LG home launcher. Does anyone know a way out?

Hey ppl, the rom from borodinka is pretty good. I've been on it and has been running smooth, much better than the stock kernel.

please update us on the custom rom, how smooth is it, and how is battery life and dual sim functionality.
what of the usual delay in making and ending calls?

OK, update on the ROMS i tried...
the one named "borodinka"
pros:
1. the roms are smaller than the stock ones, and hence got a bit more storage space free.
2. Very very smooth. ADW launcher is built in. The whole thing, including menus are smooth
3. Looks like battery life improved a bit. I remeber draining out by night, but now it stays till morining with an overnight charge
4. No Bloatware. ES FIle explorer, MX Player are built in
5. Some kind of a techie font. not sure which one. but good/you'll get used to it.
cons:
1. Phone does not lock initially. Had to install LG Home Launcher from apk i found somewhere else in the forum to get it lock. Same happens initially after every reboot. Looks like something in the LG Home is responsible for sending the phone to sleep or so.
2. no native support for PDFs (very important for me) in ES File Explorer, i wish it was AntTek File Explorer. Both the file manager and the video player are better in the SD Card (which is not possible since it comes shipped with) to save space.
3. Sometimes loses range on either or both SIMs (which was probably there with the stock ROM and thus) might be a hardware issue.
4. Touchpal keyboard seems to have issues lately. Does not show up (and renders the phone crazy) after trying to import contacts. maybe it has to do with the latest update of the app, or lack of storage in my phone.
5. has 4pda app (and that too in german) preinstalled.
6. Default APNs are not available in the apn editing page. Had to enter stuff manually. Had data connection problem once, but got it running after a factory reset.
The other one, the name which skips my mind now, has similar characteristics, which i'll review soon.
Dual sim function works as old. The Cell broadcast widget and the dual sim status widget are unavailable. Range failures are present, i guess, as in most dual sim phones.

[Q] Soft Brick on LG G E975 [No Rom on SDCard+ADB problems]

Hey guys!
Today I was quite enthusiastic and flashed a new android 4.4 Kernel on my LG G E975 with Android KitKat (by Houstonn)
But for any reason it didn`t worked out and I couldn`t reboot my phone.
After that I booted into TWRP to flash my old Rom+Kernel back but then I realized that I deleted them a few weeks ago!
(Yeah thats me... :/)
I only had two other roms on my SDCard so I tried flashing them but both didn't work since I still had the android 4.4 Kernel installed.
So now I have a big problem...
I tried to push a new rom through adb sideload on my phone but everytime I use the command: "adb push rom.zip /sdcard"
it simply gives me: error
Has anybody an idea of what I could do?
Thanks in advance for helpful answers

a question: do you have the E975 or the E970? 975 is the international version and this thread is for at&t version. If it is the AT&T version use LGNPST to go back to stock(it's in the forum look for it)

If you already have CWM installed, then you're all set to install the custom ROM. Just make sure to run the Nandroid backup from CWM before the upgrade (better safe than sorry).

It means you have replaced the recovery to one that allows you to upgrade your ROM among other things (CWM that is).
Regarding custom ROMs - that's the big question: There are nearly no custom ROMs for this device, or rather to the L7 II series. If you browse the Android development section, you'll find some custom ROMs, but they are all based on the current 4.1.2 one. There's also an MIUI ROM for your device, about which you can read at the end of this thread. According to other threads here, LG has announced it would upgrade the L7 II series to KitKat somewhere round August (which should be any time now), so I guess the best thing to do would be to wait for it (as I do).
