Where did you get the Rom from? I see the rom folder only has a blank text file?

You have to download one of the many roms from this forum and then put it in that folder.

Froyo popular ones: Bumblebee, Reborn, Harmonia
GB popular: IHO, Ath3nos, AOSP

Where do I get the rom from for Optimus V to put into rom folder?

Whats the difference between this and rom manager off android market. I have that and I believed it flashed a recovery rom for me. Can I use rom manager to install a rom? If so how?

No, ROMManager forces you to install CWM, which sucks, before doing anything. Xionia's CWM, which is included in this tool, is better.

I have root on my phone, as evidenced by SuperUser and Titanium Backup. However, I don't seem to be able to flash a rom. Is there something other than opening RomTools, having put the ROM.zip in the ROM directory and pressing '1'?

I get 'remount failed: Operation not permitted' and 'cannot create /cache/recovery/command: permission denied' a couple of times and then 'reboot: Operation not permitted'.

Another question. It says I can wipe the dalvik-cache from the main menu but it wants to reboot my phone before I can select that option.

?

Update:

I redid the SuperOneClick.. option 1 says it succeeded, the phone reboots into a blue menu recovery and says can't mount SDCARD:rom.zip 'Installation aborted'

So.. how do I flash this rom then?


Update again:

AH! .. I misread the 'rename included recovery to vrecovery.img', I thought that was just to keep the bundled one from being overwritten if you copied in a new recovery. I just 'made a copy' of the one included in the romtools package and copied my one in as 'recovery.img', so that was my mistake. Using the Xiona CWMA recovery 12518.6 I was able to back up the system and then flash the rom over.

can you please explain the last part because what you were explaining is exactly whats happening to me right now

Whatever recovery you are going to install rename it to vrecovery.
That is if you are doing this on a Optimus V.

Sorry,I'm a bit dumb when it comes to this stuff. How do I get it to work once downloaded? It it something I run from the computer or something I run from the phone? Also I used SuperOneClick to root my phone, so will this still work?

Thanks in advance

Re: [AIO] ROMTools v2.3.1 (ex-recoveryflasher) Tons of new featur

can someone give more detailed instructions please? sorry im new to android and rooting

 

[tkeyesjr]

why is it that any way i try to boot to recovery it stays stuck on the lg screen. ive tried the vol down home power button way and that just gives me a blank screen. your reboot to recovery makes it stick at lg bootscreen. i have to pull the battery and then power on to get anywhere and then it boots normal. any help would be greatly appreciated

This is the same problem that I am having but nobody in the thread gave a solution. Please help!

I just got a replacement phone with 2.2.2 on it and I haven't activated it yet. I tried to root it using RomTools but after super one click finds my phone, when it tries the next step it gives me an error. I have tried multiple times and I still get the same error.

I don't think superoneclick works on the newer firmware.
try gingerbreak. can be found on xda.

That's what I was thinking. my other phone is working fine, VM tech support just sent me another one because I didn't have 3g for a week or two and instead of just saying it was a problem with the tower they sent me a new phone. I'm just gonna send them the phone back and not worry about it.

Re: [AIO] ROMTools v2.3.1 (ex-recoveryflasher) Tons of new featur

yeah, the new one is definitely the one to send back. they f'd up the firmware with that 2.2.2; locked out fastboot the dirty beggars. not sure what else is wrong with it yet... that's the big deal I've found wrong with the newer ov so far.

Does gingerbreak successfully root the 2.2.2 ?

Re: [AIO] ROMTools v2.3.1 (ex-recoveryflasher) Tons of new featur

ginerbreak did my new ov just fine. worked on first try.
got it direct from the xda thread, not market or anything.

Re: [AIO] ROMTools v2.3.1 (ex-recoveryflasher) Tons of new featur

I rooted my Optimus V the other night (new 2 weeks ago, running 2.2.2) using Gingerbreak and, though it took a few tries, it did work and now TiBu, Superuser and anything on my phone has root access, but I haven't been able to get a recovery on it.

I've tried ROMtools and SuperOneClick on my comp; with SuperOne, my first shell root attempt runs well until it says 'running psneuter' and then returns FAILED. Any attempts after that only get to the line 'chmod psneuter' then says error: closed. With ROMtools, when I have it check for root, the first time it just pops up a $, any subsequent attempts return the same 'error: closed' message as SuperOne until I reboot the phone.

What does the 'error:closed' message mean and why does my computer have a hard time gaining root when the phone works the way it should? Could it be the drivers? Installing them has been the only part that has so far been 100% smooth so far. Is there something else I need to do? Phone is in debug mode.

Any help is appreciated...Thanks!!!
