getitnowmarketing = drellisdee?

If so, is this version identical to RC2 on XDA?

If not, is this some sort of co-operation?

thanks

re: xda-developers - View Single Post - Section for the LG Optimus One P500

with the extra part for swap try this and post feedback in android forums post.

on

echo /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/gadget/lun0/file

off

echo "" > /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/gadget/lun0/file

Yup, that works fine.

do you have a p500 or a p509 optimus t?

P500 Optimus One

Thanks I'll update my script soon so other's that have enabled swap on sd can mass-storage mount sdcard in recovery untill then use the above commands if you have partitoned sd card for swap.

I have the new Verizon LG Vortex which I understand used to be the Optimus One. If this is correct, can I apply these root programs, etc for the Optimus One onto my Vortex? Thanks.

You must use vortex recovery. You can use the enable jit one though. Diff devices.

Where is the file "install-recovery.sh" adb returns me:
mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
failed on '/system/etc/install-recovery.sh' - No such file or directory

I guess this is because the file "install-recovery.sh" is missing. Where can i find it ? And how do i put it in my Lg O1 ?

You dont want that file there as it keeps recovery from "sticking" its not in all roms usually there ater you do an ota update. That command removes it. If its not there move on to next step.

Thank you very much, problem solved

How come I can't see the picture above when I do "reboot recovery" on CMD, and when I do Power + Vol. Down + Home key while off? Is there something I still need to do....?

Did you flash it as per the entire instructions?

Hello,

Only one question before I do this: how do I get back to the original recovery ? Just in case I have to take the phone to waranty or something like that

Thanks.

 

[Jamelly]

Nevermind, I installed it now on my phone. For backing up nand, do I need the phone to be USB plugged?

 

[death2all110]

No you do not. it goes to your sd card

Hi

I followed these instructions and was able to flash 1.1 recovery image to LG OPTIMUS S.

From adb shell, I was able to do reboot recovery and get to recovery menu and I was able to take backups successfully

However, I am not able to get into recovery mode when I press Vol Down or Home Button during Power ON cycle.

Is there a way to get into recovery mode during switching ON the phone

Also, I tried to flash 1.2 version of this. I got bad mount sector error.

1.1 works good, but cannot go into recovery mode during power ON.

I just want to fix this before I flash custom ROM.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I had problems with restoring from backups with message

run "nandroid-mobile.sh recovery" from adb"

but when I did this the script complained that it could not mount the sdcard.

It turns out that my sdcard was formatted with no partitioning and hence incorrect partition names were being used in the script.

The solution was:-

1. save the whole contents of the sdcard on my PC.

2. repartition the sdcard, using either the recovery program's built-in tools or a linux box with an sdcard adapter (don't forget to format your partition if going the linux route).
You will want a FAT partition for your storage, an ext2 partition for later use by app2sd, and some swap space too. I also added via linux a fourth partition for the debian linux distribution at some point.

3 Add your saved data back to the card.

3. reboot recovery mode with the new sdcard and and you should now be able to restore backups.

Hi, I have problems making the recovery, here's how I did it if anyone knows where I could be wrong:

z4root.1.3.0.apk I installed the file and I run, it has created the icon z4root "I opened and I put" Permanent Root "with prior activation of" USB debugging "because it will not let me root , while doing the "Permanent Root" the terminal rein) and after reinciciar I turn to get into the "z4root" and verify that this root because it makes (your device is Already rooted) in the notifications I get (# superuser z4root Superuser Has Been Granted permission), also has created an icon called "superuser" when you open this program "z4root" I select and I put afford. Having done all this I run the program "Terminal Emulator" and putting the first two lines I get the following in the mobile:

$ # mount-o remount, rw-t yaffs2 / dev/block/mtdblock1 / system

$ cat / sdcard / flash_image> / system / bin / flash_image

cat / sdcard / flash_image> / system / bin / flash_image: Operation not permitted



If I put the # on each line as shown below do nothing:

$ # mount-o remount, rw-t yaffs2 / dev/block/mtdblock1 / system

$ # cat / sdcard / flash_image> / system / bin / flash_image

$ # chmod 755 / system / bin / flash_image

$ # mv / system / etc / install-recovery.sh / system / etc / install-recovery.sh.bak

$ # mount-o remount, ro-t yaffs2 / dev/block/mtdblock1 / system

$ # flash_image recovery / sdcard/recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img

$ # reboot recovery

I sorry, my English is very bad, I translated with google translator.

Dont type the "#" thats just the cursor prompt showing you have a root # shell not a user $ shell. To change the $ to # you have to type su first.
