Hello all i have a lg Optimus c (cricket) rooted via ginger break, LG-LW690 Android 2.2.1 kernel 2.6.32.9 and from what i can gather it is the same as the metro pcs version the optimus m. either way i am trying to install a customer recovery and Rom and cant a find any thing that is 100 % as far as flashing a custom recovery and a Rom for this device, again the device is rooted, any help would be appreciated . Thanks in advance.
I have the same phone and it does in fact have some metro pcs files I found with root explorer. This is my second optimus c, after I used rom manager to attempt to backup my rom which ended with a brick. So the only advice I have is be careful.

Ya i also have a cricket LG optimus C and wanted to flash custom roms. Mine is rooted but all i have read is bad bricky stories about ROM Manager etc... Whats the best rom? Or is there not a functioning one that is safe? If someone has got any info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
It can't be done there is no custom recovery you will have to be happy with root, there is a recovery called thunder but allot of horror stories, there is a full guide to flashing evo to cricket you may want consider that , the file system for cricket and metro PCs vary from model with out a way to tell that's why flashing is dangerous. There are cricket phones that are fully supported here on xda do not flash anything to this device its not worth the Risk check out wirefly.com and cyanogen. Any phone on there will have an idiot proof guide to flashing roms , I recommend t mobile or sprint, again the evo 4g can be used on cricket its only 500 our a hard credit hit
Optimus C added
Just saw Optimus C was added to CWM recovery.....Maybe new doors have been opened...maybe just a little to late.

Is there any easy PC app(exe) that i can use to easily flash ROMS to my phone and stuff like that? Like just a "Flash ROM to Phone" button or something... or an easy to use app. One that is compatible with the LG optimus one.
I am not able flash ROMS and stuff, I tried like 100 times and I never succeed. I read all the tutorials and stuff but i never succeed in flashing anything.
I have a rooted LG Optimus one. Nothing flashed on it or recovery's and stuff like that..
I saw one somewhere but i cant find it anymore.... And it did not work on my phone.. Please tell me if there is one that I can use?
Or at least any super super easy way..
Afaik, there's no such app for our o1. Instead, you can share your problems of flashing roms and we can help you out where you stuck at?

I am to afraid to brick my phone.. I bricked mine at least 4 times and had to take it to shop.. Wish I could just take it somewhere and pay someone to do it.. I have however put different firmware on my phone(V10A) using KDZ...
Is there perhaps someway that n person can make a rom into a kdz file so that I can use KDZ to put a ROM on my phone..

Refer to [HOWTO] Rooting, Installing - Android SDK, Custom Recovery, Custom ROM's for installation insrtuctions regarding custom recovery. follow the simplified guide linked to inside the post.
Go to link provided above, and follow carefully. It just works fine
I ROOTED WITH Z4ROOT INSTALLED ROM MANAGER, INSTALLED RECOVERY, FLASHED CWR 3.0.2.4 FROM HERE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065197 POWERED OFF AND HELD POWER,VOL DOWN AND HOME...AND NOW IM STUCK @ THE LG SPLACH SCREEN IT JUST SHOWS LG WHEN I POWER-ON...NO I HAVENT FLASHED A CUSTOM ROM YET HELPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!
Use the search function, there are plenty of questions/answers for your problems. And by the way caps lock is fun... Not.
Sorry about the caps just kinda frustrated, this isnt my phone..was rooting for a friend so im kinda shook up, im so used to htc phones so this is all brand new to me, i just figured roothing is rooting, i guess not huh?...could you at the very least point me in the right direction? or tell me what you think my problem maybe? THANKS
Can anyone else help Im trying the bricked phone thread, but once i plug in the device to any power source it just stays on the lg screen.
I think you'll need to flash stock rom using KDZ.
I'm not sure, though. Can someone else with more experience confirm this?
remove battery then put it again if no change i think u will need install stock rom via KDZ ..
Stock rom? Kdz? i havent a clue...all I know is that it doesnt respond to any buttons I press.
Better go to lg service
I think you try to flash recovery the wrong way.
And know you make it difficult......
I think (as rapharias said)you take a look for kdz or maybe if you take a look for flashing v20 gingerbread roms with lgmdp tool(i havent tried it yet because my phone is working and im a little afraid to do this.but in your case i will tested .
But first of all READ well first.

Hi all
I apologize for my bad English. I own a Sprint Photon, of course, and I live outside the U.S.. I bought the Photon from ebay and who sold it has installed Electrify rom that you see in the screen attached. I would like to try other roms, but I'm totally noob with Android, it's my first Android, so I want to know how not to brick my phone. When the Photon starts, there is written at the top, unlocked.
There is the CWM backup and a recovery 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.5-4.5.1A_SUN_USC_19.0-19-release-keys-signed-USC-US.zip
Can anyone help me or give me a link?
Thanks in advance

PS: I have also installed a version of Ubuntu webtop, I would like to remove it since I do not use

None can help me? :crying:
With your phone unlocked, you should have no trouble installing the roms posted in the development sub forum. Essentially all you should have to do is place the zip of the rom in a folder on your site card and flash through CWM. However each rom has specific instructions, so read and reread carefully.
Each person has their own tase for roms and no one is going to tell you that there is one best rom, I'm using CM7 right now, after having CM10 installed for a while.

That actually looks like stock Android for the electrify. Are you sure you are running a custom rom? Are you sure you got a photon? Some people list items wrongly in ebay so you should check those two things before going flashing anything

That screenshot reeks of a US Cellular SBF that has been floating around but if it says unlocked you might be okay.
Install the CWM, do a nandroid then grab a known-working non-stock ROM from the dev forum. See what happens. As long as it stays unlocked you can fix it.

Yes the forum would be great!
Gained root.
Thought I would let others know that Bin4ry script from Sony Experia thread works for a hassle free root on Telstra Urbane Zte T22.
Now just need find a recovery.
I agree!
I got his phone a while and successfully rooted it and flashed recovery CWM.
The stock is so laggy and slow. Would love a replacement.
Install CWM for the phone (which I have) by personal messaging me and I will send you the URL, silly XDA rules. -.-
also there is heaps of custom roms there that work for the t22. Trial and error, I have cm10 and a few others already on my phone. )
Sounds great. Are you able to let us know which phones roms work with T22?
Sent from my brick.
I have tried a few for the Blade 3, there is quite a variety, some work some don't, but since they are nearly the exact same phone, the t22 will work with nearly any rom for the blade 3.

Found a way to unlock it for free. Tryed to follow these instructions using google translator 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=376369 its kind of a downgrade back to 2.2.3 and it worked, now I just have to get back to ics
Name of a custom rom?
Any have a rom that WILL work with the t22?
Thanks for your time, much appriciated!
Plenty of Roms on Modaco, I think it is, just search up Blade3 Cyanogenmod and it should come up with one by Konstang.

Stock Rom?
Hi there,
2 things: yes, you can install many Blade3 ROMs in the T22, and the most popular that is confirmed to work is an unofficial port of CyanogenMod (you can install 10.2, but it still needs official development from Qualcomm before FM Radio and Bluetooth work, so I suggest 10.1), compiled by developer KonstaT.
As I have the New Zealand version of this device, I can confirm it works well, and will certainly do so here. However:
I advise against doing it if you don't know how to backup and restore a nandroid, purely because there are NO STOCK ROMS available from either ZTE or Telstra websites, and without that backup, you'll have no choice but to void any warranty you may have had if you neglected to do so! Even I find that idea annoying, and yet I don't have that problem!
Just a friendly warning from a cousin across the ditch.
Thanks I'll check it out.

Hey guys,
I just got this device and I'm loving it so far... I'm a T-Mobile customer, so I'm looking to flash a tmobile radio and Rom. The thing is I bought this from someone who used a toolkit to root it and unlock the bootloader. It's also running insert coin Rom and twrp.. I know nothing else is done besides that. This is my first non Samsung device, and Im used to the simplicity of Odin , I really dont want to screw anything up... Anyone have some advice? Thanks in advance...

I am probably not certified to answer this question. But my suggestion is-
You are searching here ( your best bet) so maybe search youtube for how to video's on "un"rooting and going back to stock. They normally have links to downloads that you need.
what is wrong with just leaving it unlocked and rooted, just flashing a different rom?

This will get you back to near stock T-mo >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281943
your best off to stay away from a radio update unless your having a problem.
Leave the recovery as is for now till you learn more about your phone
make a backup from TWRP and store it in a safe place (other than on the phone) before you go flashing roms (just a good practice anytime)
all the popular roms in the international section will work on your phone, Android Revolution HD, TrickDroid, insertcoin ...etc, just take your time and read a lot
Thanks for the suggestions guys... So even though I'm s-on, I can still flash a different Rom?
