[HELP] Can't flash RebornROM on my Optimus V :(

[cotylee1991]

I downloaded RebornROM for my Optimus V, went into recovery, wiped data/cache, wiped cache, wiped dakliv (or however its spelled) cache, went to install zip from SD card, choose zip from SD card, and selected RebornROM v2.1 VM.zip. it started to say opening update package, and then it gave me a huge error saying something about the script was not allowed anymore because Google stopped the script with 1.5 and I needed to update some binary??? I did what the thread told me to do, any help or ideas?

LG Optimus V
Virgin Mobile
IHO BACKside CM 7.2
IHO Recovery
Android 2.3.7
Rooted

Thanks guys.

I'm guessing you need to switch to xionia recovery.

I never tried IHO recovery. I stuck with the Thunderc Recovery since I rooted. Also, if you get it working, upon flashing Reborn rom, you might wanna flash Picastacks kernel or Bumblebee. It'll boost it from 127mb free to 175.

Big problem. I flashed the Xionia recovery via terminal emulator, and then rebooted into recovery. It rebooted, and then stuck on the LG splash screen. Then I took out the battery, replaced it, and then manually booted into recovery (power, volume down, + home), and the LG logo showed up, went off, then the screen was backlit and black and never went to Xionia recovery!!!

Huh? The zip I linked you to should of been flashed via recovery. Not in terminal. That's why it has "flashable" in it's file name.

Oh damnit. I flashed it in terminal by typing
- su
- cd sdcard
- flash_image recovery Xionia.zip
- reboot recovery

And then the screen stuck on the LG splash. I got my phone booted up, so I'm gonna flash my old recovery then boot into recovery and flash it while in recovery.

That should get you fixed up. Very lucky that your phone still boot's up your rom.

So this recovery, you can flash in any recovery you want, then reboot and it'll be your default recovery?

It's a flashable zip. You can flash this recovery in your current recovery, then go to advanced and select reboot recovery. Once rebooted, it will boot your newly flashed recovery. Flash in any recovery? Not sure about that. But it works with pretty much any modded recovery.
