hey guys I gave my friend my old Optimus i bought and he restored it in the settings rather then in Recovery and now is stuck in Recovery mode. i tried restoring to an older Rom and reflashing a brand new one. that usually does the work on the incredible. was wondering how you fix this on the Optimus. i know every phone's has its little secrets. thanks in advance guys.

use kdz updater (risky in my view)
or
first flash custom recovery follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318750
then flash rom from custom recovery (for rom search development section in xda)
Thank you I'll try it after work and hopefully it works!

I have the same problem i get LG logo then it boots to Android System recovery Build : RA-thunderc-1.1.0-GNM. It keeps rebooting and powering up in this when ever i try to flash a rom. Isn't there a way to just delete everything on the phone and sdcard and just transfer new files and do a hard reboot so that the files are recognized and it boots to 2.2.1 android os? Or if not that at least a way to end the system recovery boot loops that i am currently having on my LG Optimus V.
yea can use the three button combo and its the optimus s just cant get it past there. is there a rom u would recomend trying
Optimus s roms are in some other forum, not xda
+1 you have just flashed the rom for the wrong phone. Flash the right one and you should be good to go
Bricked wifes, optimus help quick, please...

If your Optimus has a new screen (purchased the phone in or after August 2011) you need to use Xionia CWMA v1.2518.6 recovery.
I Tried Rom Manager but the Screen goes All Black, No Recovery!!!

Xionia Clockwork (CWMA v1.2518.6)
Hopefully someone more knowledgeable about this will chime-in, but it seems if you use Xionia recovery, you have to use a ROM with a Xiona kernel.
Using a ClockworkMod or ClockworkMod-based recovery is highly recommended. The semi-official IHO Recovery for the VM670 is currently at version 4.0.1.4.3. The aospCMod 3.0.2.8 and stock CWM 3.2.0.1 recoveries appear to work properly for most people as well. Those with newer (purchased in or after August 2011) or refurbished phones should use Xionia CWMA 1.2518.6 to avoid a potential black screen. Xionia recoveries sometimes create problems so it is only recommended if you will be flashing a build with Xionia kernel built in.

Hopefully this makes things easier for you, when you download the Xionia recovery flash it using this.

Thanx Everyone but I Figured out a Easy way Without using ADB!
What I did was place the Recovery.zip on the Sdcard, then through Rom Manager Selected Install Rom from Sdcard! From there I Selected the Recovery.zip and It Magically Worked... YESIRR....

Hello I am a user of a LG Phoenix, I already rooted my phone via GingerBreak and installed Rom Manager and got CWM.
Well it shows all blue colors (Which I can deffinatly deal with) and says
Code:
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0
E: Bad boot message
"recovery"
I don't mind that message either BUT it don't let me install any roms or do anything in recovery, I wanted to install 2.3 and can't with this happening.
Sorry if there's another thread I am a little lazy looking for them, but I searched for about 20 minutes to find a fix but there's none.
Thanks,
Mike

CWM
I managed to find a CWM Recovery for Galaxy S Advance, googling it will come up with several results (can't post link),
But I have a problem. Trying to flash the .zip from SD card will start the installation, it says the recovery is replaced with CWM Recovery, and then the phone just turns off. Turning the phone on againg and entering the recovery shows I'm still in the original recovery (Android system recovery (3e)).
The problem is that this seems to prohibit me from flashing custom ROM-s form SD.
Any ideas?
Hi everyone,
I just reset my phone through LGPNST, cuz I accidentally deleted the Rom trying to flash new Rom . I learned it the hard way cuz I had my phone stuck in recovery mode for a week.
Long story short I just wanna backup my stock Rom before I try to flash other roms. Can anybody suggest best way how to do it ?
Every reply is appreciated and thanks in advance,.

Do you mean TWRP? Just back it up in recovery (TWRP). However, if you are using the recovery that freegee installed, I'd download and flash a newer one from the development section. They create much more reliable backups.

Yes it's twrp which I downloaded from freegee . I tried to backup from the system but it said failed for some reason which I dont remember. As I told I'm kinda new to all this stuff .this is my first android device . So could you please send the link that you're talking about . Thank you for your reply .

Here's the link for the TWRP that has been developed for the OG: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2019662. I was able to flash this to my phone via the instructions within this thread. I'm a noob as well to flashing, so can't give advice beyond pointing you here.
