Hi!

Yesterday i got my LG P970. I tried building clockworkmod Recovery. After some trouble because of the Strange Partitionlayout, it seemed to work at last. After flashing the image and Rebooting to Recovery via "adb reboot recovery" Clockworkmod showed up. But when hitting Power to select an Option from the clockwork Menu it just shows the Clockworksmod Logo. Tapping Power again shows the Menu again. So i took out the Battery some Time and startet the Phone again. It still boots every time in the clockworkmod Menu.

Has anyone some Idea why this happend? I editet the Entrys in the recovery.fstab file to match the Partitions on the P970 and followed >>this<< Guide.

I just got my LG Optimus Black today too, I rooted it using gingerbreak, now I'm waiting for a custom recovery to I can customize my phone and have something to fall back on incase something goes wrong.

Yeah I should wait too for someone who has more Expirience to build clockworkmod. Now my Phone only Boots in a non functional custom Recovery and the LG Mobile Updater doesn´t work to restore the Phone.

So you can't use the phone at all right now?

[Xantaro]

Yes at the moment i can´t use the Phone.

Bricked mine as well. It's stuck in the bootloop with the keys flashing. I would appreciate any help.

Just got one!

Will open a Black area shortly.

I guess you flashed your boot partition with the recovery image. Try getting into NVFlash / SmartFlash mode somehow to fix it.

Flashed it to /dev/block/mmcblk0p4, that should be the Recovery. The ramdisk contained the Images showed when restarting the Phone with adb restart recovery.
I think my mistake was that i forgot to change the Partition Sizes in BoardConfig.mk. But at least I learned that it is not a good Idea to do such stuff half asleep in the middle of the Night.

NVFlash wont work here, it is for NVidia devices. Optimus Black is TI (Texas Instruments) and to flash new bootloader you will need OMAP Flash and then you will need to flash the binary using SmartFlash which again is different from Optimus 2x

Im sure Paul will release some info very soon

[PaulOBrien]

I'll be uploading a fix for this (and opening a Black area) tomorrow.

 179	   16	1927168 mmcblk1

Also how do I set the sizes in BoardConfig.mk? Am I right that BOARD_BOOTIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE is 6144 * 4096 (blocksize) = 0x01800000 ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I just found a Link to the German Recovery image with the 1&1 Branding. It should work to get back to a working System flashing this file.

@Xantaro: Do you think digitalfrost is right about calculatong the partitionsizes for BoardConfig.mk? Can you post your recovery.fstab?
