Hello, I used these instructions to boot from stock.
(Optimus V, 2.2 original ROM)
Install from Stock Optimus - ROMRepo
I had the drivers.
The phone roots without a hitch.
1. Move aospMod and gapps to phone's SD card
I left these as .zip files.
I put them in the sdcard's root folder.
2. Place phone in USB debug mode >setting>applications>development>USB debugging
3. Connect phone to computer
4. Extract ROMTools
Did all this.
5. Move CWRecovery to ROMTools directory
6. Rename CWRecovery to vrecovery.img
I put copies of CWRecovery in the ROMTools root folder and the ROM folder.
In each, I put a copy of vrecovery.img and then recovery.img as well.
7. Execute ROMTools
8. Select 'Flash recovery to phone'
9. Select 'Optimus V'
10. Select 'Flash Recovery and Drivers'
11. Follow prompts
Did all this.
Phone reboots to a screen with four options in bluish-purple.
Below is status written in yellow.
The four options are along the lines of:
'reboot'
'load update from sdcard' (which requires update.zip)
'wipe to factory default'
'wipe cache'
I rebooted, which just restart the phone as normal.
12. Once phone has booted into recovery 'MAKE BACKUP'!!!
13. Preform factory/data reset
I then assumed the four options screen, was the rebooting.
I performed the reset.
My phone now reboots into factory default.
Not an issue, but, I'd still like to get to the updated mod : j
Any ideas where I went wrong?
14. Under Mounts & Storage Format boot, system, data, cache.
15. Now we get to install the ROM! Choose "install zip from sdcard"
16. Navigate to the aospCMod you copied to your phone's sd card.
17. Select it, and let it flash.
18. Now, go back to install zip from sdcard. We now need to flash the Market.
19. Flash "Gapps"
20. Reboot
I never saw options for anything like this.
Also, the phone doesn't go into recovery mode from holding home+power.
