Guest HCFC Clark Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Right, i've been trying to install a custom rom the last few days. I've rooted, flashed, updated the baseband and downloaded the custom rom. The first time I installed the rom onto my phone, I forgot to wipe all data and it froze on the LG startup screen. So i took the battery out, did a wipe and installed the rom again. However it's still freezing on the same screen, so how do i get my phone to work? I'm really worried ive messed up all together, so can someone please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bunjiboys Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Have a look at this thread: http://android.modac...66062-15032011/ . The NVFlash method is a nice disaster recovery mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for MCR based ROMs, or stock ROM it's fine. Have a look at this thread: http://android.modac...66062-15032011/ . The NVFlash method is a nice disaster recovery mode. yupe! nvflash saved my phone.

Guest HCFC Clark Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 what ROM did u flash? Because I read somewhere that if u want to flash CM7, u must use Rom Manager's CWM and not Paul's CWM. But for MCR based ROMs, or stock ROM it's fine. I used Pauls ROM. I've managed to get my phone back working by using the recovery option in clockwork, however i've tried to install Paul's rom a few times since then but it's still freezing on the LG load up screen :( Am I/have I done anything wrong? I'd still like to get pauls rom on my phone because i've heard its much faster then the current stock rom im using, but im not an expert at this sort of stuff so i need some help from you guys :) thanks a lot for all the help, really appreciated!

Guest nickdelf Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 I had this problem, for me it was because I was on EXT4 (though I didn't know) it and using the toll to go back to EXT3 fixed it for me (Modaco R19) Right, i've been trying to install a custom rom the last few days.

Guest Rusty! Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Move to ClockworkMod 5.x (via ROM Manager) it supports restoring between EXT3 & EXT4 now, no need to manually revert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HCFC Clark Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 I've already flashed my phone, did this before trying to install the rom. However, I've just tried doing it again and it says an error occurred, so does anyone knoe why amd what i do to fix it? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HCFC Clark Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 (edited) Right i've recently put the stock rom back onto my phone so i could re-try the whole process again from scratch to see if i missed something out. I followed all the instructions exactly but it's still freezing on the LG boot up screen. I also tried installiing the early gingerbread rom released by paul and i didnt even get to the lg screen before the phone just froze on a black screen, and i was unable to do anything. Is or has anyone experienced this problem, or is it just me? I'm starting to think i may have a faulty device, because it seems impossible for me to do this :( Edited September 14, 2011 by HCFC Clark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
