im wanting the slick rom JB and I cant find the post listing how....i found the where...
1.not the how?
2.Is "installing a custom firmware" the same as the ROM?
3.if No to question 2, whats the difference?
ok ima try to break this down for ya
1. Make sure you are rooted and have an unlocked bootloader, if not got to this thread and follow instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006946
2. Once you have completed step 1, confirm that you have either cwm(clockworkmod) or TWRP(team win recovery project)
2a. Once recovery presence is confirmed, enter the recovery through the bootloader
2b. To enter the bootloader, while the phone is off hold the power button and the volume up button until the lg logo come on the
screen release once the bootloader loads, press the down volume button twice and then press the power button and then the
recovery will load.
2c. (for a quicker way download the quickboot app from the playstore and select recover from the in app menu)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot&hl=en
3. Once in the recovery, you'll need to wipe the cache and the dalvik cache, as well as factory reset the phone(recommended to do so) before flashing the ROM(custom firmware)
3a. Navigate either CWM or TWRP until you get to the install zip directories for each recovery, and then navigate the provided file
browser until you find the file you are flashing, once selected follow the on-screen prompts until the file has been sucessfully
flashed.
4. Reboot your device
5. PROFIT!!!!!!!!!

What the differences then? Why other than opinion do some go with one and others go with the other version?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
it's a matter of preference.
I use TWRP myself because it backs up and restores a bit faster.
What app do you use?

Alright. I'm new to the vibrant community so my apologies in advance for not knowing what I'm doing. I just rooted and I have su access and I have CWR installed. I however can't get the rom manager custom recovery to load when I reboot. What do I need to do? I'm running the 2.2 update from T-Mobile. A simpleton's guide would be nice but I'm just looking for any help I can get. Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Hold down both the up & down volume controls, then hold the power button down until you see the vibrant screen. That should do it.
Let me rephrase that, keep holding the up & down volume controls until you see cwr come up. Your only releasing the power button when you see the vibrant screen. Hope that helps.
Already tried that. It boots into android recovery...not clockwork. Its android recovery version 3e if that helps any

You need the modded 3e recovery in the dev section for cwr

Select reinstall packeges a few times, and/or select reboot into cwr from rom manager
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
i tried using the modded 3e recovery and i still don't know what I did wrong...should i just look for a way to downgrade to 2.1 and try redoing this the easier way?
when your on recovery press reinstall packages
it will reboot to recovery again
click reinstall packages
now your in a green text recovery.
ta-daa?
Stupid question, but did you enter RM and select to flash a version of CWR? Once it flashes, can you enter CWR via RM?
Yes I did flash certain. I'm going to try again

Ok I was flashing the aokp rom, I wiped everything. It wouldn't boot just stays on splash screen ..I reread the forum for aokp from and it said u need to have the latest recovery and I didn't ....I tried restoring from and that didn't help

That exact Thing happened to me.
Flashed aokp with old recovery and it was just sitting at the eepad Logo splash screen and i could still get it Into recovery.
You should Check if adb is working when your are in recovery.
So i treated mine as an Type 3 brick.
And transformed it into an Type 2 brick.
I am very sure i followed imstructions closely, but well you never know
My second idea was to replace cwm file in vipermod with the New one 5.8 and simply use the tool to Overwrite the old cwm - though adb is available in cwm it might work.
Second Option sadly doesnt work with my paperweight now

Sent from my Droid Razr using Tapatalk
Yes but I only have the one from on my tablet
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Well my solution was to get a new TFP for now - the other one looks great as a paperweight!
1)
Look for the thread with "naked drivers". Download and install them as described in the thread. You will most likely need to get adb working when in CWM to fix it.
2) - my idea - I have no clue if it works!:
Vipermod flashes CWM through adb, maybe by replacing the old cwm blob-file with the new 5.8.2 it is possible to update you to CWM 5.8.2 without a running system.
Then - maybe - it might be possible pushing a ROM file to internal storage (i.e. Virtues ROM) and the flash that via CWM.
ASK other people who know more than I do, this is only a possibility I came up with after bricking my prime!
2a) give Un-Brick-3 option a go and see waht happens. Look in the unbrick thread and see if it has been working successfull. for me t wasnt good
I tried installing the naked drivers but I didn't work and I tried option three brick and no luck.....can I install the new recovery with fast boot then flash the rom I was trying to flash?

Well if you can get into recovery clockwork that is you need to get advanced working. I had to do it from my laptop because my desktop would not install the drivers correctly. Once you do that download another Tom and push it to you tablet.

Use this becuase you can still get fastboot to work and flash the latest recovery

This is what I have done to get the newer version of CWM like it says
Download the newest CWM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533697
Download fastboot http://androidroot.mobi/2012/02/22/introducing-cwm-for-asus-transformer-prime/ and stick the new cwm in that folder and rename the file form the first download tfp_CWM5_androidroot.blob (INCLUDING THE .IMG)
Next open CMD and cd into the directory with both the .blob and fastboot inside
Reboot prime holding power and vol down till white writing comes up then press nothing untill it has three icons on the screen now press vol down (NOT UP) once to be on the middle icon then vol up to select it (I had to pull the usb out and back in)
Once the bar has finished you can reboot now go into CWM and make sure the version is CWM v5.8.2.0+ now:
wipe data/factory reset in recovery
flash ROM
flash Gapps
reboot
It will boot
I will try this when I get back from church I I'll update u guys if it worked

I keep getting the message: "ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?" whenever I exit CWM. I've tried hitting "No" and "Go Back" and on both it just reboots normally. Anyone have idea what's causing this? Exactly what would be modified if I hit "Yes"?

Hi, how did you install CWM? I think if you press yes it will keep the Cwm recovery so the original stock recovery doesnt flash automatically.

I installed it using the L9 Recovery apk. Whether I said no or go back, it just rebooted normally since there isn't a recovery to flash is my guess. I went ahead and said "yes" and things seem to be fine, so I guess no problem.
Thanks for the reply.

Volume Down + Power --> This will take you to Bootloader, from there, you can go to recovery using vol up/down to navigate and power to select.

Just reflash a recovery either CWM or TWRP... it's a sure thing you will have a custom recovery
Try quick boot from play store

You can't get to the bootloader or are you in the bootloader and can't get in the recovery. If you can't get in the bootloader because the button combination does not work, it is probably because Fastboot is on. You can turn off Fastboot in Power in the settings menu. If you don't want to turn off fastboot, turn off your phone, pull out the battery for a second and try the button combi again.
Hey i plan to wipe all and factory reset my phone. So im gonna have to reinstall recovery and reroot.
But which are the bugless and the best recovery in your opinion? Thw cwm by dark passenger or twrp by nexus prime?
My purpose for having recovery are mainly for nandroid backups.
Please suggest

I've got my boot loader unlocked. I'm rooted on v10g. I have cwm and I was wondering if I could just flash the zip file with cwm.
I think you have to make sure you have the right recovery to flash with. If I'm not mistaken I did flash with the cmw for locked bootloaders but to be safe I'll say to find the right one that is for unlocked bootloaders. I'm using CMW touch for unlocked bootloaders. Make sure you do a factory reset. It might not be necessary but I run a factory reset, I wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing a ROM. Also, make sure you backup your stock ROM before flashing another.

Here is the recovery file, just install it using fastboot as cmahendra describes in his awesome guide
Everytime I issue the unlock command to try and get in fastboot mode it just restarts my phone.

Oh, I didn't know you had a P769.
Look at the bottom most paragraph of the first post of this guide by carloswii5.
He explains it very nicely.
So to get this straight. I download the recovery image & put that on the root of the sd card. Then flash it. Then I'll boot to recovery & flash cm 10.1

Yes, exactly, but use the "Nandroid Manager ROOT" to flash recovery and then do a full wipe + format system before flashing CM10.1
You can of course then flash Gapps as well.

If you want to install the cm10 rom the optimus L9 has as of right now you
have to do the following
1) Go to the app store and search for the app called "Nandroid Manager ROOT"
download the app and open it then go to flash recovery you must first put the recovery from the downloaded file to the
root of you external sd card and then go to the app and search for the recovery and flash it.
After you flash it you will have a recovery on your phone
(just to let you know it will be mirrored) but to boot to recovery you must turn off the phone
and then hold the "Volume UP + Home Button + Power Button"
now go download the cm10 rom from here " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2216542 " put the file to the root of your sd card and then reboot to recovery and then to flash you will need to "wipe system, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache then flash" after you flash the zip reboot and you will have CM10 Hope This helped
