- cole2kbRetired ModeratorThe Google searches used to point towards the threads here, yes, but since they have been archived, there has only been one post about "the ROM that shall not be named" in the last month, at least, and that was because someone wanted to try it "just for fun."07-20-2012 11:12 AMLike 0

Then, IHO is referenced, and another archived thread.
AFTER that, the Cyanogenmod 7 Wiki comes up, which is where it gets tricky, it still references asopCMod.
I'll see if I can get that changed.
I'm totally okay with keeping that thread up there, just trying to clean things up and getting input from you all instead of just going for it.07-20-2012 01:24 PMLike 0 - A video referencing Zelfie's CM7 comes up, but when someone follows the link, they will be taken to an archived thread, or broken link. The first result are links to another forum referencing Backside, and Bobz CM7.

1) support for this ROM is gone, do not ask questions about it. Or
2) support for this ROM has moved here: (insert link)
Depending on what happened is what you would put.

i only put up that thread originally because the cause of the black screen was under debate and i thought it was important to post a fix.
i say move it to archived hacks, but if it's not too much clutter it does score high on Google, and it has a lot of backlinks.HurrrDurrrDURP and sellers86 like this.07-20-2012 11:48 PMLike 2 - People are still referring people to that link, I'm not entirely sure what's easier to get working for this common problem with people using ROM Manager, either the thread where you replace recoveries/roms or my unbrick guide. The second post of that guide can also fix the black screen in recovery problem. Anyone know which one is easier? I have never done the black recovery fix....I have a ZV4 (currently on ZV5) optimus v.
Edit: why can't we contact the dev and get this black recovery either thrown out or replaced with a recovery that works on all of our phones? I'm so tired of the same thread being posted every freaking day!!!
Sent from my Optimus M07-21-2012 12:10 AMLike 0 - cole2kbRetired ModeratorIt really doesn't get posted that often. Trust me, I read every single one now, lol. Sammy, one of the reasons I was wondering about how relevant it was, is because your unbrick guide seems like it would be an easier process to lead a "noob" through then the black screen post.
Alternatively, I'd like to re-do it, or maybe have three stickies, Leslieann's guide, Current ROMs for the Optimus V, and Methods for Unbricking. Just thinking out loud here. Maybe I should just leave it alone, too. All insight is appreciated. This is your forum too.07-21-2012 12:31 AMLike 2 - It really doesn't get posted that often.

But there is still a useful use for the fix black screen recovery thread. Getting data out of the phone. That can't be done if they follow my unbrick method. Some people actually use their smartphones for more than what most of us here use it for. Some people have text messages they need saved, some have apps that have data they need like some kind of organizer or something. If they had a black screen recovery, the simple fix is use flash image GUI to get it replaced (if they also flashed an old rom that doesn't support the new screens with ROM Manager as well, then they already lost that info). If someone is stuck in a recovery bootloop, backup the rom, then follow my unbrick guide. And yes there will be situations where people screw up their entire phone and there wont be a way to recover any of the lost info.

I could be wrong about that though. Someone like LeslieAnn or Jerryscript or Bobzhome or BigSuperSquid, who's been around longer, would know better than I would.

it was definitely brought up to him.
sorry.flapjack.fiasco likes this.07-22-2012 09:11 PMLike 1 - Perhaps if we mounted an organized campaign to make Koush aware. Maybe, just maybe, if enough of us contacted him, we could get a response. If we did get him to change the recovery, we wouldn't have to worry about this anymore.
If there's any kind of positive response to this idea, I'll start a thread so we can organize and just generally bug the hell out of him until he does something. Anyone up to the challenge?sammyz likes this.07-24-2012 11:29 AMLike 1 - Perhaps if we mounted an organized campaign to make Koush aware.

he was hassled pretty extensively when the problem was identified. good luck!
at least it doesn't bork /all/ the OV's, just the new ones. the sprint optimus has even worse twitchiness with rom manager and it's /still/ on the Market (play, or whatever they call it now.)
i doubt he could be "bothered" to fix it.
an awesome dev, he is, but not very responsive to the optimus s/v crowd historically.sellers86 and flapjack.fiasco like this.07-24-2012 02:30 PMLike 2 - i think he's more the IRC than forum type.

- Even better! Less problems.
That would be a negative for him, lower download count.
