So the only thing I did different was to Wipe all the different Cache's on the phone including the dalvik or delvik or whatever. LOL I reset the rotating settings and basically everything I could wipe I wiped. I even wiped my butt. LOL
So in other words I tried everything.
The only thing I didnt do was wipe my SDCARD partition's.

After all that I Did the same instructions as I did before in the Recovery thread and it worked Great.
Also I did it on the Terminal Emulator in the phone not the ADB shell.
Hope that helps.

I am not sure I needed to wipe all that stuff.... but I just know it worked after I did.

It's at the bottom of drellisdee's original post.

On Another note. After i flashed v1.2.2 i get the verification error no signature when trying the flash update zip option. This happens when i tried flashing the Velocity rom, my own custom rom, as well as the kernerl drellisdee made. (This also happened when i flashed v1.2.1)

Confirmed!!

:confused:

So.... Dumb question... What do we do now drellisdee?
 
I can also confirm that error when trying to flash two different roms and the kerenl. Trident also told me in IRC that he had gotten that error.
 
I received that error while using your recovery. It works just fine in ClockWorkMod.

And yes, I can assure you that my ROM is signed.
 
Well does this mean we should flash back to version 1.13 or 1.14
and wait for version 1.2.3?

Or is it that this version can only flash Froyo Roms, and all the 2.1 Roms such as Tridents Velocity cant be flashed with this newer version?

Drellisdee can you weigh in on this?:o
 
Yes that was a bug in the last one with verifing signatures. Untill I fix that soon use under menu "other" the toggle signature verify to disabled.
 
Well I am looking forward to the new version. :D

Hey you know what... if it was me making these programs everyone would be waiting for years and they would have 1001 bugs in them. So its all good.

I just want you guys to know how much you are appreciated. This stuff cant be easy.

At least it wouldnt be for me.

Hats off to Drellisdee!!
 
My Ally is rooted. I had installed the 1.13 recovery with very little trouble. Then I discovered Clockworkmod and installed that recovery. When 1.2.2 was put up, I had one hell of a time trying to get it to install. I kept running into that "not enough available memory" error. Well, thought I'd try it on the device considering I wasn't getting any via adb. I moved the flash_image and recovery-RA_GNMTv1.2.2.img files onto my sdcard, loaded up terminal emulator on my phone, typed su at the $ prompt and got root. I then went through the commands for phones that already have root and, voila! I'm now rockin' drellisdee's custom recovery. Probably not the best way to do, but it worked for me. Hope this helps =)
 
ANyone know why i get this error when i try to flash 1.2.2



Code: 
C:\Users\Administrator>cd c:\android\sdk\tools

c:\android\sdk\tools>adb shell
$ su
su
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA_GNM_v1.2.2.img
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA_GNM_v1.2.2.img
error opening /sdcard/recovery-RA_GNM_v1.2.2.img: No such file or directory
#
 
Did you mount the sdcard on your computer first? IIRC you need to have that card mounted so cmd can access that file and then adb can flash it.
 
ok so now instead of getting my prior problem...i get this...

C:\Users\Administrator>cd c:\android\sdk\tools

Yes. However, out of curiosity I just flashed the 2.2 recovery. Use the fastboot method, it's very simple. Naturally remember to replace recovery-RA_GNM_1.13.img with recovery-RA_GNM_1.2.2.img

drellisdee said:
1) copy flash_image & recovery-RA_GNM_1.13.img to the root of your sdcard

2) Setup fastboot drivers. Copy these lines into your android_winusb.inf in usb drivers in android sdk or use my kit that is linked above. They go in 2 places x86 (up top) and amd (lower part).

Code: 
;LG Ally
%SingleAdbInterface%     = USB_Install, USB\VID_1004&PID_618E&MI_01
;%CompositeAdbInterface%     = USB Install, USB\VID_1004&PID_618E&REV_0100&MI_01
%SingleBootLoaderInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_D00D
3) Issue command adb reboot-bootloader from command prompt and your phone will reboot to a blue screen that says Fastboot. Goto device manager and you should see an android listing that is unknown. Right click and update driver and select browse for driver then let me pick from list of drivers on my computer. If you see android bootloader interface pick it and you are good. If not use have disk and browse to android_winusb.inf and you should see the android bootloader interface.

4) Issue command fastboot reboot to test if its working. Phone should reboot and then do adb reboot-bootloader.

5) Place recovery-RA_GNM_1.13.img in android sdk tools folder and give command
Code: 
 fastboot boot recovery-RA_GNM_1.13.img
6) Once it reboots into my recovery use adb shell and once you get root # prompt type
Code: 
/ # mount /sdcard
 
/ # flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA_GNM_1.13.img
 
/ # umount /sdcard
 
/ # reboot
7) Power phone off then boot holding SEND+MENU+PWR and let go when you see the LG logo

8) If it reboots to stock recovery which is a android guy and a yellow "!" or if you have tried it a few times and know you released the keys when you see the LG logo and you got nothing just the VZW splash then do this:

If you used flash_image and the above happens use this from my recovery (not stock) adb shell:

Code: 
/ # mount system 
 
/ # cd system/etc 
 
/ # mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak 
 
/ # umount system 
 
/ # mount /sdcard 
 
/ # flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA_GNM_1.13.img 
 
/ # umount /sdcard 
 
/ # reboot [/QUOTE]

so i have the ally and im rooted with velocity .2 with software version 9 and i tried to go back to version 6 its good but when it says to update my software it goes into clockwork recovery.. how do i get the stock recovery back with stock everything.
 
I've downloaded the sdk tools linked in the first post, but I don't see flash_image in the tools directroy. Does that come from somewhere else?
 
Great! I have 1.2.3 installed and can boot into recovery consistently. I'd like to use this to install Velocity 0.2, but have a couple of really basic questions.

First, to take a backup, is just the normal NAND backup enough to have something recoverable in case of disaster, or do I need to use one of the other options?

Second, how do I wipe all of the data and caches before installing the ROM? I'm assuming that's under the wipe menu, but I'm not 100% sure and I don't want to hit that and see a screen that says "wiping phone" before I can do anything about it.

Sorry for the basic questions. I'm pretty new to messing with phones and prefer to tread lightly until I get a bit more comfortable.

I made a regular NAND backup (only one) and have restored it a few times and worked flawlessly.

Yes the Wipe menu. You would wipe data, cache, and dalvik(idk if i spelled it right) cache.
