Guest Xantaro Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 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.
Guest rashad1 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 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.
Guest Xantaro Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 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.

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?
Guest Xantaro Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Yes at the moment i can´t use the Phone.
Guest digitalfrost Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 Bricked mine as well. It's stuck in the bootloop with the keys flashing. I would appreciate any help.
Guest Paul Posted May 14, 2011 Report Posted May 14, 2011 Just got one! Will open a Black area shortly. P
Guest maxisma Posted May 14, 2011 Report Posted May 14, 2011 I guess you flashed your boot partition with the recovery image. Try getting into NVFlash / SmartFlash mode somehow to fix it.
Guest Xantaro Posted May 14, 2011 Report Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) 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. :unsure: Edited May 14, 2011 by Xantaro
Guest Batkoto Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 I guess you flashed your boot partition with the recovery image. Try getting into NVFlash / SmartFlash mode somehow to fix it. 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 :unsure:
Guest Paul Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 I'll be uploading a fix for this (and opening a Black area) tomorrow. :unsure: P
Guest Phoenyx77 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 Super, this is a wicked message. I've been waiting eagerly for ClockworkMod.
Guest ch_uy Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 Super, this is a wicked message. I've been waiting eagerly for ClockworkMod. Yeah :unsure: thanks from me in advance!
Guest rashad1 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 Can't wait to flash CWM on to this phone, bring the stock Roms please :-) Thanks Paul
Guest masei Posted May 16, 2011 Report Posted May 16, 2011 Me too, Glad to hear that recovery and so the ROM's is not far away. Nice phone but wrong kernel ;-)
Guest digitalfrost Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 Can anyone help me settings up the recovery.fstab file?

Guest erik501 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Posted May 21, 2011 Any news? I have installed clockwordmod and use the dual recovery,at reboot the telephone stay in lg logo and wont boot. I'm looking for a method to retrieve the phone as the LG software can not recover it. Please help Thanks and sorry for my english
Guest UncleCracker Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 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. 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. http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW..._00/V10A_00.kdz @Xantaro: Do you think digitalfrost is right about calculatong the partitionsizes for BoardConfig.mk? Can you post your recovery.fstab?
Guest aerosoul Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 nobody interested here? what about the p970 forum?
Guest digitalfrost Posted May 23, 2011 Report Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) Me and UncleCracker created a working recovery.fstab and Boardconfig.mk (we think :P). However we can't compile the recovery image because of the following error: error: out/target/product/P970/boot.img too large (3223552 > [3244032 - 270336]) EDIT: It worked, the partitions were twice as large as we though. We compiled Clockworkmod fine and it's running. However same as OP we're stuck in Clockworkmod mode, we can't select anything and phone is always booting into recovery. We rebootet the phone using "adb reboot recovery" - maybe a recovery flag is set that won't turn off until you exit Clockworkmod? Edited May 23, 2011 by digitalfrost

Guest Gazaka Posted May 23, 2011 Report Posted May 23, 2011 Hi I'm new to the forums. Recently purchased this beautiful phone, then again I'd say that after finally getting rid of my old old old horrible n97... yes, I'm ashamed. First time with Android so been searching around for bits of info. Managed to root it after spending 3 hours thinking... what the hell is rooting. But now I'm no longer a virgin. Loving this device at the moment and just hoping to goodness that it was a good purchase in the long run. Support for a phone either makes it or breaks it. After a sour taste in my mouth from Nokia and there supposed flagship N97 phone, I am really hoping I have made the right decision. Android = Win for me so far LG I'm still unsure... let's see how things go. As for support, I'm here and look forward to things to come. Regards
Guest UncleCracker Posted May 23, 2011 Report Posted May 23, 2011 Hey just to get you up to date. digitalfrost and I managed to get ClockworMod flashed to recovery and get the Navigation and Selection working! But we are stil in struggle with the Partition mounts and getting out of Recovery after booting into it. Maybe Paul can help.. Also we found a way to reflash the phone with the German recovery image (kdz with 1&1 Branding I mentioned before), so we are able to test compiled recoverys. Here are some pic's from Recovery: As already mentioned only navigation, selection and some mounts are working and we appreciate any help!
