how did you convert .zip to .img ???
As far as I know it's so easy by the DD commands .
enter recovery and connect phone to your PC (of course you need the drivers and enabled usb debugging) .
go to the folder where you have ''adb.exe'' ,, press and hold ''shift'' key ,, right click ,, then choose ''open command window here'' .
write :-
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmc.... of=/sdcard/system.img
{''if'' means ''input file'' ,, ''of'' means ''output file''}
where mmc.... is your system partition ,, it is diffrent from phone to phone .
and you will find it in your sd card (make sure you have enough space)
Good Luck

Can we flash rom using PC ?? Its not that big a deal but sounds cool to me.. i cudnt find any such option in nandroid-mobile.sh.. I mean after i reboot into recovery i dont want to press any buttons on my phone..Juts hook up the phone to pc and flash the new rom using say adb
It should be possible. When flashing zips, the recovery checks the update-script file found in the META-INF folder. Mimicking the steps there and inputting the correct adb commands and copying the files on the appropriate folders and partitions on your phone should yield the same results.
But as you may have guessed, this isn't practical.
so u mean to say that i unzip the contents of the zip archive and just execute the script from terminal ???That shud be it??? I know its impractical but wat the hell i love doing things from my debian terminal
Update: that script is just a set of messages to be shown during actual update process..it isnt the script ..
instead the script apparently "update-binary" is a binary executable and not a shell script..DO you think that unzip and calling this binary might work??
I'm not entirely sure. I think adb has it's limitations. Check other's replies xD
Hi everyone,
I tried using a script which automated the install for the the custom recovery, but I started to get messages that it ran out of disk space (I can't link to the file due to my noob status). I probably should have come here first before using that script, but such as life..
I have no important data on the phone, if I lose it all that's ok.
It rebooted and my p500 waits with the following
"Fastboot mode started"
"udc_start()"
It also gives some info when USB is connected ie.
"- suspend -"
"- reset -"
Do I have a paperweight?
thanks and sorry for the newb post ..

I got the phone working again - thanks! I guess it's not a great idea to install the custom recovery
with low disk space?

Hmmm. Well, should not matter? /recovery uses a separate partition. Perhaps you flashed a corrupt (incomplete) image?
well if u ever wish to install recovery just download rom manger from market (latest) and install recovery from rom manger option make sure u hav eusb debugging enabled. it works easy

Erm... reading all the posts about fastboot after using ROM Manager for this, I guess I would rather stick with the custom script using flash_image.

hmm, I'm not sure (when I dl'd the file I did compare the hash as per instructions). I used the following instructions:
manast.com/2011/05/07/how-to-install-custom-recovery-on-lg-optimus-one-p500
I then went into a terminal emulator, and ran "sh /sdcard/rf.sh". At that point the output of the script started to say "disk full" (and then it reboot into the fastboot prompt).

No idea about that script. Using flash_image and never had any issue with "disk full", frankly the message does not make sense. All you need is to copy the recovery image to SD and run as root:
Code:
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Done.

I'm getting permission denied when trying to use flash_image. Gingerbreak says the device is rooted, and the terminal does ask for superuser permission when i open it (su works in the terminal). I also tried chmod 755 flash_image but that didn't work either.
the permissions for flash_image are r-xr-x any thoughts ?
edit: apparently the sdcard is mounted with -noexecute ? So I tried copying flash_image to / but it's read only. Is there somewhere where I can execute this?
This rf.sh script seems most notorious, I too went into fastboot after that. Doktornotor's method worked (in fact I think he/she was the one who bailed me out back then as well).
If you got into fastboot, most probably you have a rooted phone.
To use flash_image you need to get the flash_image.sh on the root of your sd card. Search the forum for Amon-Ra custom recovery, and you shall find this file in that thread (it is required for Amon ra setup). Log in to your adb console, and use fastboot to push the new image in the recovery partition.
Unless your recovery.img or flash_image.sh is corrupted, it will work for sure.
Keep in mind, fastboot is a very powerfull tool, if you can access it, you're safe.
Cheers,
Alex
did you get out??
just flash stock firmware with kdz worked for me bro
Buddy,
You do not need to flash anything with KDZ. The ROM is fine nothing happened to it. All your issue is with the recovery being flashed wrongly for some reason.
I had the same issue just yesterday and I managed to flash the recovery through fastboot.
What you need to do is:
1. Install android SDK from Google.
2. Connect the phone while it is on fastboot.
3. If your windows does not find the fastboot drivers online, use the drivers in this link:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=39ZR16W1
4. extract the .zip file that you copied to your SD. The one that contains the recovery.
5. Copy the recover.img (or whatever the name of the .img file in the .zip file) to the folder inside the android sdk where fastboot.exe is located (I think its the tools folder)
6. Copy the adbwinapi.dll file from the android SDK\platform-tools\ to the folder containing fastboot.
7. issue the command (and replace recovery.img with the .img file name you have):
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot

I appreciate the information. When I'm in adb, su won't allow me to gain root access on the phone. The phone itself is rooted using gingerbreak though.

It is essential that you have a backup of the EFS partition and a way to place it back - the first two ways that I would think about are:
a) use a good recovery - like Philz recovery, that has commands to restore EFS
b) if the format of the backup is not exactly right you might be able to boot in recovery and use ADB commands.

I am new to adb commands. Will phylz recovery help me enter the commands? if yes then i shall be replying with the sd card efs tar file name. Will then you be able to guide me with the commands based on the tar file?
Thanks all of you in advance.

No for ADB you boot into recovery, connect your computer via USB and run the ADB commands from either Linux Terminal or Windows Command Prompt.
The tool here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488
May help if you're new to adb.
Otherwise it's a case of downloading and installing the drivers for your phone and the Android SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Thanks for all your replies.
Just wanted to confirm if i have the efs backup in sd card as under folder backup_efs and there are two files in tar.gz format will i be able to use the phylz recovery to use this replace my efs folder? if yes then can you guide me the steps please.

I do not remember right now what creates an backup_efs folder but it really does not matter that much - the tar.gz is a "file archive" and .img is usually a partition image. Each could have minor advantages - the .img also contains the entire filesystem of the partition (and will work easier if the filesystem is bonked) but a tar.gz backup is more versatile when you have bad sectors or a changed partition.
Under an advanced recovery like Philz you would just navigate some menus and try to restore the EFS - see the info in those specific threads.
Under ADB you need to have stuff (drivers and some programs) installed in your PC, you connect the phone on USB and you run ADB commands from the command line.

i was able to contact with my phone via ADB under CWM but with problems !
1-i could not run adb shell
2-the storage not appears in the computer
then i flash PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSJ-OXX-3.5.tar & everything become super fine ♥♥♥
anyway it is good to know the answer of my question ,i really want to know how
What You Need?
1. Your Mobile [Rooted]
2. Computer
3. USB Cable
How?
if you need PARAM.bin file that means you know how things work, so i'm not gonna explain every little step.
1. Make folder on your desktop and Open 2 command line programme windows in that directory.
2. choose one window and run this commands
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/13540000.dwmmc0/by-name/PARAM of=/sdcard/PARAM.bin bs=4096
Block Path in above dd command can be different in your device. if you failed to open renamed zip file, you need to Find Correct Block and replace that in dd command
3. goto second command line window and run
adb pull /sdcard/PARAM.bin
4. To Extract Files from bin Just rename .bin file to zip (param.bin.zip)
Done.
Thanks,but how do i extract this file?
already tried with "tar xf " but gives me nothing

Seems Like your block is different. So you need to Find Correct block and replace that on dd command
