Hi,
I have a rooted Optimus T and today I installed 4.2.1.0 RomManager with the intention of installing clockworkmod recovery. I chose Optimus One as suggested in the dev thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1024838. The clockworkmod recovery installs OK with a "successfully installed" message. I can reboot into recovery using ROM Manager and it shows the correct screen but after I select any option it shows the next screen with clockworkmod logo in the center of the screen and stays that way. If I hit the power button I return back to the main screen. I cannot do anything. I have to pull the battery and then restarts and goes into the normal boot routine and is fully functional afterwards. I read the whole main thread and also used the search button but was not able to find any solutions. If anybody can help me out with a solution or point me to a thread that has the solution, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

There are chances that you might have selected other phone (by mistake) from the list.

There is no option to select my model Optimus T (P509) I was under the impression that I have to choose Optimus One (T500). Is my assumption wrong?
Prahalad
No but you can try again.

I tried 4 times. I even uninstalled ROM Manager and re-installed and then reflashed the recovery. Same result. I looked in the .settings file for clockwork mod and I think it has the correct information when compared to my other phone (Samsung Vibrant).
I saw the commands to install another type of recovery from this thread http://androidforums.com/getitnowmarketing/221388-custom-recovery-optimus-one-p500-thunderg.html#post1896517
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
# cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
# chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
# mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
# mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img
# reboot recovery
Is there such a manual process for clockworkmod for Optimus T ? Where can I find those instructions and files. I googled it and have not yet come across a valid ones for Optimus T (T509)
Thanks
Prahalad
Amonra is always preferred over clockwork for the optimus community..
Flash amonra and get clockwork flashable zip from dev area and flash from amonra reecovery..
Has anyone got the clockworkmod running on Optimus T ?
Solved !!!!
blushrts solved the issue. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14115321&postcount=281
Solution : Power button is not the enter but menu button is.

**THE USUAL WARNINGS APPLY**
1/11/11: Updated CWR to 3.0.0.5. Now installs properly through ROM Manager. Nandroid backup works, don't know about restore. Not sure if partition wiping is working I would assume it is. Flashable zips from SD card are working, tested with Quickie OC kernel (HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!). Attached the CWR 3.0.0.5 image to this post, it is not a flashable zip just the image file zipped. So we have some real progress. w00t!!!
1/2/11: Looks like CWR has been released for NC. I didn't see it up see here you go. Easiest way to get it installed is by downloading ROM Manager in the market and flashing it through the apk. Attached is the .zip, I believe you just rename it "update.zip" and put it on the root of your SD card. Then reboot into recovery. Again your best bet is to use ROM Manager.

Failed me too. Started the process and then failed. Looks like it is close though. Pretty exciting.
WOW, this is great news. Seems like real soon we will be able to make backups.
Awesome. Not too long now until ROMs start getting put together. Hope the teardown reveals working Bluetooth.
Here are the steps to actually making this work if you are the adventurous type. This may brick your device blah blah. I am not responsible, etc. You should only attempt this if you genuinely understand the commands you are performing.
Make sure neither /media or /sdcard are mounted in your OS!
Save this:
http://koush.tandtgaming.com/test/clockwork-b3-nook-uRecRam
adb push clockwork-b3-nook-uRecRam /media/
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
mkdir /system/boot/
mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system/boot
cat /system/boot/uRecRam > /system/boot/uRecRam.bak
cat /media/clockwork-b3-nook-uRecRam > /system/boot/uRecRam
umount /system/boot
rmdir /system/boot
Now do the three fingered salute to get into CWM Recovery. VolUp/Down are up/down, respectively. The Nook/home button is Select and the power button is Back.

Great job,
I tried to compile a scrip with the following but it doesn't work if i put it in a batch file but it works if I run it from DOS. Go figure...
Code:
adb push clockwork-b3-nook-uRecRam /media/
adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
adb shell mkdir /system/boot/
adb shell mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system/boot
adb shell "cat /system/boot/uRecRam > /system/boot/uRecRam.bak"
adb shell "cat /media/clockwork-b3-nook-uRecRam > /system/boot/uRecRam"
adb shell umount /system/boot
adb shell rmdir /system/boot
I will work on the batch for the community to run so it make it easy for noobs...no ETA
Would installing this hose the ability to factory reset (the 8 failed boots/bootcnt method)?
Flashed and it works.
Yes you will loose that ability in it's current state.
I do not recommend using this until it has the capability to backup all of your data. At this point an error can still leave you with no return path, you have been warned!
Edit: Scratch that. I see what I did.
Even if it might not be wise for most to use this yet, very happy to see this available. Looking forward to nandroid . . .
I saw that the nook color comes up in rom manager, does this mean we don't need to install that other file uRecRam.

Okay, I've seen a few people and various threads with this problem:
1. They have a rooted Optimus V
2. they may or may not have flashed a recovery
3. they download ROM Manager and select ROM Manager's Clockwork Recovery
4. they flash a rom and reboot
5. they get stuck in a recovery loop and run around screaming.
This was me yesterday!!
What did I do, then? I downloaded the Fastbootroot tool. That got rid of the ROM Manager's CW Recovery and put in thunderc-v-1.1.0 version recovery... that looped. I tried the 1.2.0 version, which also looped, but I could flash a different recovery, finally. So I downloaded Xionia's Clockwork Recovery and THAT worked. (this next excerpt is from my androidcentral forum post)
here's exactly what I did starting from the thunderc-v-1.2.0 recovery (i'm gonna go into too much detail for other eeijits like me):
download xionia's clockwork recovery and the flash image, unzip both onto your sdcard
put your desired rom on your sdcard (zipped, omg)
get out of usb storage mode
Get ADK Tools if you don't have it (search the forum, this is the easy stuff)
Make sure you're all mounted in mounts and settings in your current recovery.
open cmd, and get into adb shell
(this next part is from zefie's post)
enter the following commands:
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
# cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
# chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
# mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
# mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/xionia_cwma_12518.6.img
# reboot recovery
it should reboot into xionia's clockwork recovery mod
clean dalvik cache and mount everything
choose 'fix recovery loop' under ... advanced IIRC, I can't check right now as I'm reloading my stuff onto the fixed phone
after the loop's fixed, get back into recovery and load whatever ROM you fancy.
WIN!
Recovery loop from ROM mgr backup restore...tried Kiona, tried mmarz, what next?
Newb here...BUT, in my defense...I DID NOT DO AN ANDROID SYSTEM RESTORE ON MY ROOTED PHONE!! which seems to be most people's problems with boot/recovery looping. My phone is stuck in a recovery loop after restoring a Clockworkmod backup.
History: I rooted my LG Optimus V running 2.2.2 with gingerbreak a couple of months ago. Per all instructions I could find, I installed SuperUser, Rom Manager, Titanium Backup, I also have another backup by Rerware, but I can't remember the name of it. I kept the stock ROM. Everything has been working fine.
I got a 32 gig micro card for Christmas. So, as per instructions found elsewhere, I made a backup to my sd card with ROM Manager, Titanium and Rerware. I copied my sd card to my hard drive, partitioned my new sd card, and loaded the new sd card with the old sd card data. At that point everything looked fine. But the instructions said to restore from my backup which I did with clockworkmod and now I am stuck in a recovery loop.
I completed Kionia CWMA install 1..4 and performed "Fix Recovery Boot Loop" but it did not fix the issue.
I completed Kionia CWMA install 1..6 and performed "Fix Recovery Boot Loop" but it did not fix the issue.
I completed the abd shell instructions "strings/dev/mtd/mtd8" and "flash_eraseall /dev/mtd/mtd8" per mmarz but it did not fix the issue.
I have recovery access. I have ADB running.
What should I do next? Everyone else seems to be fixed with mmarz's suggestion...
Thanks to whoever is out there for any help...
rom manager is mostly no good on V and the new V screen {after sept.} gets ruined alot by rom manager, so i wouldn't use it
get a compatible recovery at the iho wiki and install
then flash the rom of your choice
if that doesn't work there is lots of help for this in the optimus v "development" section
Thanks for your reply. I just wasn't sure what I should do next and your suggestion worked perfectly. And I guess I had to get over the fact that I was going to have to restore from scratch and get over my fear of installing a custom ROM. Luckily, of all the backups I had, Titanium worked BEAUTIFULLY! I was chicken to flash a custom ROM, but I flashed IHO Harmonia and it is beautiful and has been working flawlessly ever since. I shouldn't say flawlessly, I kept getting some gapps error but I was able to look it up easily and fix it.
Live and Learn.
the latest version of rom manager in market has bug... so we can use older version search on google. And it works again

It depends on what Home Ui you are using. I think all the launcher has panel selection option where you can choose how many of them you want. Select as per your convince.

Boy,
You not need any application for it. Just press switch on/Off button for bin longer. There you can see reboot. Boot into recovery must be there. If reboot in recovery is not there then down load terminal emulator along with attached zip file. Extract zip in SD root. Install terminal emulator. And write following commands..
SU (press Enter) allow super user.
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system(press Enter)
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image(press Enter)
chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image(press Enter)
mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak(press Enter)
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system(press Enter)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img(press Enter)
reboot recovery(press Enter)
Boot custom recovery from powered off is vol_down + home + power
After this you can easily boot into custom recovery. And flash whatever you want. But make sure those are compatible e with your device.

Congratulation!!!!!!!!!!!
hi,
guys i am having trouble with my phone all of a sudden.
I flashed back to stock ED05 and now my /system rfs partition is READ ONLY.
I found out its only read only, because i couldn't root anymore. I need root for titanium backup so i can restore my apps.
How do i change it to Readwrite?
Im trying to remount, but i am having problems
i went into cmd > adb shell > window opened up i typed mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 (the stl9 is my /system i think from the look of the screenshot if i am wrong plz post)
and then i tried chmod 777 /system
it says UNABLE TO chmod /system read-only file system

sorry for links it says u need to have 8 posts before u can link away from forums
someone plz help im going insane on this. I have tried odin DL09 and ED05 over and over again but /system stays read-only
-ADB shell doesnt fix it
-odin doesnt fix it
-trying to get root but since /system is read-only i cant get root
plz someone has to know this
I'm having the same problem. Tried using the Samsung root package mentioned in another thread and it fails to mount the system directory.
I just got my Fascinate this weekend due to a warranty swap from another phone. It ran the update to ED05 when I OTA'd it. Is this something locked down in ED05?
FYI, just found this thread and had no problems doing it the manual way. try it out.

I was running Bricked Kang but installed the new build of cherry but now the old bricked rom's kernal is still a boot option, how can i remove this kernal from my touchpad and delete the entry in moboot?
I had the Bricked installed myself, and decided to go back to the stock CM9 kernel (since I was having FC issues with certain apps).
Here's what I did:
Open up Terminal Emulator
Type the following:
Code:
su <enter>
mount -t remount,rw /boot <enter>
cd /boot <enter>
rm uImage.CM <tab> <enter> (press Tab until the CM-Bricked is filled in)
echo "CyanogenMod" > moboot.default <enter> (this will set you back to defaulting CyanogenMod. If you want another, use the name of the uImage.<whatever> for Cherry (just put everything after the uImage. part)
reboot <enter>
That'll remove the Bricked Kernel from your boot options, and set your default to Cherry (or in my example, CyanogenMod). Make sure you have the proper Wifi modules installed from your Cherry install, and you should be good to go.
Hope that helps, mate.
I'm having the same problem and that proposed solution did not work...I got a Read only file error...thanks, though...
You have to make sure you mount the /boot partition before you try and do the changed. If it isn't mounted, you get that error.

Could you elaborate on how to do that please? The CM_Bricked thing has been bothering me as well.
Thanks in advance!
I had the exact problem and instead of playing around with the instructions I just went to a backup I had before the install.
It worked like a charm for me. If you have a recent backup on CWM don't hesitate to use it .
