I have just updated my LG Optimus One to 2.3.3 with kernel .35.
Rooted my phone using SuperOneClick.
I want to flash another ROM (mik's CM) using the CWM (have installed via ROM Manager), but everyone I choose "boot into CWM" causing hard reset (the phone restarted, and again ask me about language, and every setting I have set gone back to factory).
help plz
I never managed to get rom manager working on the optimus t. You should use All In One Recovery instead. Sorry, I can't provide a link I don't have enough posts. If you google all in one recovery, you should find it.

Hello,
I got my LG Optimus V on February 12,about a week or two later i decided to root it,i use the method explained here: forum(Dot)androidcentral(Dot)com/optimus-v-rooting-roms-hacks/57485-how-root-lg-optimus-v(Dot)html
everything went perfect,all the root required apps worked flawless,anyways, i installed a custom boot which replaced the default "ANDROID" logo right after the virgin mobile screen,for about 2 months everything worked perfect,last night i decided to edit some things with the build property editor on the absolute system tools app Here: appbrain(Dot)com/app/absolute-system-root-tools/com.canvs2321.absolute.system[/url]
the only things i edited were the things that said "VirginMobile/Virgin Mobile" and switched that to "JGar"and the version from "2.2.1" to X
I decided to save the customization and rebooted,it loaded the lg logo,the virgin mobile logo,and then the custom boot,instead of working like always,it just freezes a couple of seconds right before the lock screen is supposed to come up
i am still able to boot into the (Volume+,Home,Power)recovery menu so i factory reset it,that didnt work,it still freezes at the last boot before lockscreen
can anybody help me?
Im a noob at this and sorry if im not supposed to add links
If it helps,i have another LG Optimus V which is full stock,no root,fully functional if i need to copy some files from it.
Thank you
recovery factory reset = deleting everything from your phone.
You need to reinstall a rom and start over. If you made a back up, reload that. Otherwise you are sol.
Well,i have what is supposedly the stock rom,a recovery image file,and a flash image file,all i dont know is how to load them onto the phone,is there a program or guide that helps me?
last thing is that when i rooted it,i never installed a custom recovery menu,just the android system recovery<3e> menu with 4 options,reboot now,apply sdcard:Update.zip,Wipe data/factory reset,and wipe cache partition
The easiest thing you can do if you just want to get back to stock is download the stock rom from the development thread. Rename it to update.zip. Place it on the micro sd card, and use the recovery to flash it. But all of your settings, apps, and what not are all gone for good since you did a wipe.
Ok, i have the stock rom now,my phone says that it needs a signature or something,is there a way that i can bypass that? I dont really care about the apps,just as long as i fix my phone,im all good to go.
In the custom recovery, instead of the install update.zip option, use the install zip from sdcard option. Then before you select the zip file, hit the option to disable signature verification. Then go ahead and install.
I dont have a custom recovery menu,the only thing custom i have on it is the droid x boot,which worked perfectly fine,is there a way to install the custom recovery menu? because i turn it on,lg boot,virgin mobile boot,droid x boot then crash
The easiest thing you can do at this point is install a custom recovery so that you an install a working copy of the stock rom. Follow this guide: http://forum.androidcentral.com/opt...ks/73168-how-install-roms-your-new-phone.html
Use the first recovery listed on that page. It should work. Once you have the stock rom loaded, you won't even notice the recovery, but you'll be able to backup and restore your phone if you ever break it again.
Hello,
I have an optimus v phone that I rooted using fastbootroot. That worked great, while I had it. A couple of days ago I decided to sell the phone and tried to get back to stock. I do not remember correctly, but I had a nandroid of the original rom, that I tried to restore. For some reason it did not work. I then Tried using fastbootroom using option number 3, to restore factory room, and now I am stock in the Android System Recovery, build: RA-THUNDERC-1.1.0-GNM.
I tried installing the factory room (zip) that I downloaded from here, xda, and it installs fine, however, when it boots, it goes back to Android System Recovery build: RA-THUNDERC-1.1.0-GNM. I also tried The nandroid option but it does not work with the backups that I have.
I have tried other things during the past two days, but the last one was the KDZ FW Update, as noted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875881
I found the Firmware from LG for the Optimus V, but it is in a .cab instead of .kdz format, so that has not worked either. Also, I could not get the KDZ FW Update to recognize the phone, so even if I had a .kdz not sure if I could Flash.
I someone could direct me to a from to restore to factory of at least to boot again into a room, I would appreciate it.
Thanks!
FYI- I have also tried abd shell thing and it has not worked for me either.
Fixed
It took me a while to find a working fix, but this phone is finally working. With a thread over at android central, member Whyzor recommended using Xionia CWMA to flash a rom. I did that, and was able to reboot into a rom that I had saved on the SD Card. On Xionia I could not use the nandroids that I had created with Clockwork Recovery.
I then flashed Clockwork Recovery and rebooted to flash the Stock nandroid that I had. That worked perfectly, however, the phone would again be on a loophole with Clockwork Recovery (wonder why?). I just flashed Xionia once more, and the phone is back to stock Rom but with Xionia Recovery and Rooted.
The Xionia recovery can be found here: http://www.mediafire.com/?fbaoutnaw717pnb
And the original thread: http://androidforums.com/optimus-v-...android-system-recovery-after-data-reset.html
Hope this helps someone in the future!
When I try to download the ROM from ROM manager, it tells me that I need install Clockworkmod Recovery, but when I pressed install, it came up with a Confirm Phone Model page which does not have Galaxy 5 as a option. So I am now just stuck here, what should I do, or is the free version of ROM manager pure not very useful?

did you root your phone?
what rom are you actually using?
did you try to update Rom Manager to an earlier version?
I assume your phone is rooted already. Don't continue if it's not.
I thought there was an official one released for the phone. Are you using the newest version of ROM Manager?
If yes, and our phone model is still not listed, then you'll need to install Clockworkmod Recovery by following this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151396
It involves downloading a program called ODIN. You need to flash (transfer) the Clockworkmod file to your phone through USB. It's all in the thread above.
I had the same problem - installing the latest Rom Manager (free version) from the store didn't have Galaxy5 listed as a ClockworkMod possibility.
I flashed the whole thing by hand with ODIN and installed CyanogenMod - and presto; the version supplied with it had Galaxy5 support and I had no problem doing the "read only partition" installation.
Rom Manager is pretty crappy anyway - I prefer manual installation over it...
DO NOT - i repeat - DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER.
Theres no compatible version of CWMR it does offer. Flashing any of the other versions, which are made for other phones, might brick your device to the state that Im currently trying to revert (d/l mode only, but seemingly unflashable).

Why did you say that??? If the phone is rooted you can download CWM by RomManager without fear.. the important is that when the popup with phones versions come up, you choose only - ONLY! - Galaxy 5 voice! If this voice is not present into the popup, don't choose nothing at all! Choosing another phone might brick yours!
I downloaded and installed and even only update CWM by RomManager a lot of times and everything was always fine! No problem at all!!
You cannot scare people for nothing: your problems are not bug or issues, but only YOUR problems! and YOUR errors!!!
So, boyz, don't worry installing CWM by RomManager.. but remember to choose only Galaxy 5 voice, no other phone, 'cause you could brick your phone selecting a CWM that is not compatible with our GT-I5500..
Hello people....
I am new to SGS3 xda forum....i am from Pakistan...its been 2 weeks since i bought a SGS3 (second hand)...probably of 3mobile U.K...i was told by the seller that the phone was unlocked in Pakistan....as i tried system update from settings...it said that my phone was modified and could not be updated....so i decided to install CWM Touch on my SGS3 in order to create backup of my current stock ROM (4.1.1)...my phone is not rooted yet....i followed the instructions given in the following link:
http://jellybean-news.blogspot.com/2013/02/complete-guide-to-install-clockworkmod.html
Odin took 1 second and my phone was booted....Odin gave the Message ''Pass!''...everything went fine as it should have been...but when i went into the recovery mod...Stock Android Recovery is opening instead of CWM Touch....noting my phone is not rooted yet....it is also normally booting and everything is fine....can anybody guide me about the problem that i am currently facing...and its solution as well....?? Help Would Be Appreciated...
Edit:Just Flashed CF-Root Pakcage Including SuperSU and CWM Manager with CWM v5.5.0.4....now it goes into CWM...but still one noob question....have my previous stock android recovery and CWM Touch been automatically deleted/replaced?...or they still exist?? Thanks
Sounds like you were trying to install a cwm without being rooted.
Cwm replaces the stock android recovery. You could now try flashing the cwm touch through your current cwm. Make sure its a zip. If you come and ask for help You should really follow a guide on xda though. They are the best guides around.

When you flash a recovery you will delete the previous recovery in doing so, your stock and touch are both gone - replaced with v5.5.0.4.
You can now boot into CWM and install a better recovery, try Philz touch recovery for instance.
Hi there,
I got my SGS3 on Friday, it took two hours until I got bored and rooted it.
First everything was fine, I was using CWM (installed via ROM Manager) and tried some ROMS.
Today, when I wanted to flash CWM Touch via ROM Manager, the phone rebooted and since then in stuck in a boot loop.
There was no error during the process, according to ROM Manager the recovery was properly flashed. All I can do is entering the Download Mode.
I tried to flash two different stock images via ODIN3 (v3.07) but the phone keeps rebooting, even when i try to repartition it using "GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit". I can boot the phone into recovery, I can see the recovery for a short moment and then the phone reboots. I made it to flash CWM 6.0.3.1 via ODIN, and when booting into recovery then I can see that it worked, but after a second the phone reboots.
Currently I'm downloading a 3-part/3-files factory image, hoping this can help. According to what I've read on the forums so far I don't think it will change anything, but who knows... Any other suggestions?

rom manager is not supported on all the phones. probably that should have damaged your phone. hope you get your phone working. good luck :good:
I was using CWM (installed via ROM Manager)
Remove rom manager .
CWM says
Not compatible with ROM Manager !
That is if you recover from damaged pit .

Hey guys,
thanks so far... According to the CWM homepage the SGS3 is supported, in fact there's current even a newer CWM version available for SGS3 than for GNEX.
Fortunatly I just made it to un-soft-brick the device:
- Removed the battery for a few minutes, then placed it back in the phone (for some reason the phone often booted as soon as the battery was back in its place, so I had to be quick).
- Tried to reboot into recovery again, holding "Vol+"+"Home"+"Power" until the recovery showed up, and the phone rebooted.
- Kept on holding "Vol+"+"Home"+"Power" until recovery showed up again, for some reason the phone didn't reboot this time, and then I released all buttons.
- Thanks to ODIN I could now use CWM 6.0.3.1 to flash S4 Revolution (by Elegant Team) from my internal storage, rebooted the phone and it worked. All my data was still in place, so it seems all my attempts to flash the stock images via ODIN did not succeed, save for the stock recovery.
Crap, I was really afraid of having my brand-new SGS3 hard-bricked only a few days after delivery. With my HTC Desire HD it took me almost 6 months to cause the first almost-brick.
There's only one thing I can image with ms SGS3 that might have affected the CWM / ROM Manager flash - I was running a S4-ported ROM ("S4 Revolution"), because this makes "TriangleAway" recognize it as "I9500" phone, so I cannot reset the counter at the moment.
But ROM Manager always showed "GT-I9300"... So in the end I've no clue what has happened so far.
