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.

Is there anywhere I can get the files for cwm touch? I wasn't able to install that when I unlocked my bootloader. Thanks for the reply.

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.
carloswii5 said:
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

I don't have my computer now and want to update miui tonight. Is the steps of using this app
1. Select recovery image
2. Chose the new rom
3. Wipe dalvik and cache
4. Hit ok
Is there anything else that is needed to do? I can't afford to mess up my phone since I don't have my computer now. Any help would be very helpful. Thanks.

You dont need a PC if you are s-off.You are on hboot 1.50 I think
In another thread joeykrim (developer of Flash Image GUI) told that there should not be any problem untill a rom and kernel mismatches.
So i think you are good to go with that app.
But imo the steps are:
Run Flash img GUI
Choose kernel
then tap browse and selecet the zip file of miui rom
It should give a message to make sure it is a valid rom zip as the file size is much more.
Then tap flash image . the app will flash the boot.img from the romzip file.
Then it will ask to reboot.
But i think you should not reboot the phone as you are flashing a aosp kernel.
You should power off the phone.
Then boot into bootloader >Go to recovery > Then install the miui rom zip file from recovery.
Hope this helps......
Dont forget to thanks if I helped you.....

As far as I know, support was added for selecting the kernel image from the ROM zip itself. So select the image, wipe dalvik and cache, ok, reboot and flash the ROM.
So select kernel image in the app. Pick the miui and wipe dalvik and cache then hit yes and that's it? I'm alittle confused cause I don't want to f it up. Don't choose recovery image to do it choose kernel?

Yes exactly......choose kernel image in app not recovery.......then choose miui rom's zip file > then boot in bootloader > go to recovery > install zip from sd card > choose from sd card > then select the same zip that you have chosen in the app (miui rom.zip) . If you choose recoverey and then selct miui rom .zip you may really f it up

are you able to boot into bootloader? you need to uncheck fastboot from settings>power or you can turn off the phone and remove and reinsert the battery then hold volume down+power button.
If recovery is not working try to flash a zip file containg a workig recovery with flash image gui.

I downloaded the recovery from the website I got the app from and flashed it through the app and it said successful. When I boot into recovery the htc logo comes up and after a minute it just reboots. Do you have a better link for me for recovery?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
The only Recovery that worked for me is in the attachment.
It contains the recovery that i use. Extract the file using any file explorer then you will have a cwm.img . I dont know if you can flash a .img file with Flash image GUI. And dont forget to select recovery image option in the app while flashing this.
I've been trying to get into recovery and It won't work. I followed all of your guys suggestions and still nothing. I downloaded the cwm file from the website and selected it and it said successful but when I try to restart and boot into recovery it stays on the htc screen for a second then vibrates and then just restarts. Anyone have a clue what I'm doing wrong?

Different App related question:
I'm running CM7.1 right now. I would like you use my backed up version of MIUI that I backed up using TWRP. Can I boot into bootloader using FlashImage app and go into recovery and do it? Or do I still need to go into bootloader using a computer?
Many thanks.

Well if you're getting the bootloop then I'm guessing it's not possible. Because while it's rebooting, you're holding down right?
If so, then I guess that answers our question. It's not possible.
Need to go into bootloader the normal way using a computer.
So I'm assuming that this app is really only for flashing kernels. I tried that and it worked perfectly.

Hey thats not true.....I was on olymus ROM and i wanted to switch to infected ROM but i wasn not having PC but my recovery was working . I used Flash image GUI > kernel image> Selected the infected ROM> And it flashed the boot.img from infected ROM .zip
Then I rebooted in bootloader > selected recovery > install zip from sd card> and chose the same infected rom.zip......................and everything worked fine.
@arozer
If you want to restore your backed up MIUI then I think you will need to flash the boot.img from your backup 1st using flash image GUI. Then without rebooting phone , you have to boot into recovery then restore the backup.
@peecs121
I guess you will need a computer to get your recovery working using fastboot.
Maybe you should do that on your friends PC .
Then try the steps.
I will download the latest MIUI and will try to install it without a PC for you.

hey I downloaded the MIUI ROM and flashed it successfully without using PC.
For you I also tried Flashing different recovery through Flash Image GUI which also worked.
Here's what I did:
1.copied the " MIUI.us_shooter_1.12.2_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed_scott951.zip "(97 mb size) and recovery.img to root of SD card
2.In Flash Image GUI , I selected recovery image option and flashed the recovery.img by using flash image button ( also checked wipe dalvik & wipe cache) Then it prompted to reboot and i tapped no
3.Then i selected kernel image in Flash Image GUI and Selected the "MIUI.us_shooter_1.12.2_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed_scott951.zip" and flashed it aslo using flashimage button( also checked wipe dalvik & wipe cache)Then it prompted to reboot and i tapped no.
4.Then i switched off my phone manually.
5.Then i booted into bootloader by pressing volume down+power button..
6.selected Recovery and pressed power button and recovery booted successfully.
7.In wipe menu i selected wipe cache , wipe everything ,dalvik etc
8.Then pressed go back and selected flash zip from sd card and select Synergy_3Dvo_Superwipe.zip
9.Then again flash zip from sd card and select Synergy_Format_Data_EXT4_Optimized.zip.
10.Then again flash image from sd card and select MIUI.us_shooter_1.12.2_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed_scott951.zip.
11.Finally reboot the phone and voila!! got it to workwithout PC.
You could flash any other rom instead of MIUI.
And i wanna ask you have you even unlocked and rooted your phone?
Here are the files you will need:
The recovery.img is here http://www.mediafire.com/?n72emuv5a1c00sd

How do I boot into recovery without rebooting?
Also, in my back up of Miui in the Twrp folder, I don't have file called boot.img. i have boot.win and boot.win.md5
Would one of those be it?
(I also have data.win and system.win.)

Oops!! Sorry
I wanted to say that after flashing boot.img you should not "normal reboot" the phone.
You should power it off and boot in bootloader > recovery..
Sorry for the mistake
Which version of which recovery do you use.....???
The CWM 4.0.1.4 recovery by revolutionary (which i was using till today) made ".img's" in nandroid backup. I dont know about your recovery.
If you had not changed your kernel while you were using MIUI
You should do one thing:
1.Instead of searching boot.img in nandroid backup, just use the boot.img from the miui rom's zip file you downloaded and flash it via FLASH IMAGE GUI and follow the above steps by me from step 3 (if your recovery does not work, follow steps from no 1). You will be good to go.
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"?
(769BK v10g)
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.

All you have to do is flash it the same way you would flash any other Rom
I presume your using clockworkmod recovery?? Although I'm fairly certain the steps are the same on other recoveries
Put the Rom on your sd card. Boot into recovery. Then make sure to wipe data, then wipe cache partition, then wipe dalvik cache. After you've done those three steps click on install zip from sdcard, then choose zip from sdcard. Then just find the Rom you want to use and flash it
I'm sorry if the above is what you've already tried
Also before you flash the rom. In the "install zip from sdcard" section there is something called "toggle signature verification". Click on that. Sometimes when a Rom doesn't flash I click that and then it works

If you've already got it installed then whilst your phone is turned off hold down the home and power button. This should boot you into recovery. Then just follow the steps in my previous post
If you haven't got it and need to install it then the easiest way I found was to download an app called Rom Manager. Inside the app there should be an option to flash clockworkmod recovery

I think you can follow this guide to unlock your bootloader
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!!!!!!!!!

Not to sure, but i think in order to go from stock to 10.1 you need to get cm9 in there first, same also assuming that you are trying the latest pac which is android 4.3. Can you list down your steps that you did in exact order? also assuming you did all the root and everything since you said you can boot into cwm.
Well here is what I have done.
1. Rooted the galaxy player with framaroot
2. Used Odin to flash a .tar file which gave me cwm
3. Downloaded all the Roms I said, two are on the SD card and 1 is on the internal storage
4. Installed Rom Manager
5. Have tried using ROM manager and just manually using CWM recovery to install each of the Roms.
6. ROM manager says the files don't exist(which they do)
7. Cwm recovery says an error occurred and its like "error or section 7" something like that... Why is this happening? It sounds like I'm doing everything right....

This post talks about recovering from being bricked but can be applied to getting a custom rom into you sgp5 in general. note the download link for Galaxy player bootloaders already contains odin the pit file and the tar file. this is however only to get it to cwm and install a rom you already have on sd card or internal memory. You would start on step 4 since your not bricked, past step 4 is just getting it into cwm to load roms.

your using cwm and choosing install zip and selecting the zip in its directory
Geez... OK, I can't be certain but I don't think ROM manager works for gp5. You need to flash a kernel that has cwm recovery such as entropy's daily driver. From there you can flash directly to cm10.1 or cm10.2 you just need to wipe everything first(including system)...

Well... finally now I was just trying again, and happened to actually remember to wipe /system, installed cyanogen mod 9 then to 10.2.
Running Jelly Bean wonderfully!
