Guest Kicko Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Hi, I tryed to install a custom rom usig this guide (I problably shouldnt have done his in the first place) I used "rom manger" to reboot in recovery and install the zip and now when I turn on the phone it keeps restarting and doesn't boot. Can someone please help me?? Is the anything I can do?
Guest Navlem Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 It seemed that you missed one part of the instruction where you were supposed to convert to EXT3 before flashing?
Guest Kicko Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 You mean I had to format something? These are the steps I followed... Download the zip file of your choice from the links below (or the online kitchen) and copy to your SD card (/sdcard/_ExternalSD) - you must used a physical microSD card!Restart your device in recovery modePERFORM A NANDROID BACKUP FROM THE MENUSelect the option to apply an update zip, and select the zip file you copied to your memory card - you MUST use a physical microSD card!It does get to the "modaco splash screen" so it did install something! Is there anything I can do now?
Guest Kicko Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Ok, I've just noticed that part... Anyway, isn't there recovery mode? can't I install something from scratch or anything else??
Guest Navlem Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 You might want to take a look at this part of the instructions. Requirements In order to use this ROM you must have ClockworkMod Recovery installed - see my ClockworkMod Beta post for details. 0725 V20l baseband is recommended, available in this topic. The ROM is installed at your own risk. The ROM should be installed using ClockworkMod. A wipe IS required unless you are coming from another Gr4 or Gr5 build. If you are coming from an EXT4 ROM and using an EXT3 bake (or either of the prebakes), you need to convert back to EXT3 first using this tool.

Yes, I noticed the EXT3 part now, I did install ClockworkMod Recovery . But now it's useless since I can't get to it!
Guest Kicko Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Ok, I can boot into recovery, I jast wasn't doing it right! I'm going to try and install a EXT4 rom like thanatos
Guest vrowdy Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Just flash 'backtoExt3.zip' and then flash the update.zip again. It's no problem and there is almost no way to brick your Optimus.
Guest mankian Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 you might need to format /data and /cache too...
Guest Kicko Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 I guess I was over-worried because it was 3 in the morning here and mi head wasn't working to well. The morning after I fixed the problem (with a little help) in 5 minutes and installed the "thanatos" rom, I quite pleased with it so I'm just going to keep this one fon a while now! Thanks any way for your answer! I'm sorry if I botherd forum members!
