:'''( Ok, so i flashed clockworkmod recovery mod onto my optimus v and when i clicked restore in rom manager and picked a backup to restore, it started to boot into recovery (the key lights come on) but the screen is black, i cant boot into my rom, so the only thing i can do is go into a blank recovery and try to reboot but it freezes half way through it, any ideas???

Use this section of the original post:
Installing a recovery the old-fashioned way (maybe the only way, for your new screen, if you flashed a ROM and recovery at the same time with ROM manager) :

how would i load up the terminal emulator if my rom doesnt boot?

(if you're using adb, you can drop the first two lines and replace with "adb remount" (no quotes when you type it)): so use adb from your computer

Ok I have the harmonia 1+2 installed from sd in clockworkmod. Before I tried the first one and got past the lg and to the vm screen. But then it got stuck. So I went back into clockworkmod and installed the Harmonia 1+2 refferenced in this thread.

Now I have the lg, black screen problem. So my phone looks to be fully powered up but the screen is black.

Can someone please help me. I have messed with it more than I would have liked to. So I don't want to go any further until I know exactly what I should do. Any ideas?

Power off your phone, then boot into recovery and flash the pikastix remix zip, after you flash your rom. This will solve your black screen problem

Ok I used the 3 step guide in the forum this thread was placed at the top with. I did all that it said. Including wiping Dalvic Cache, Format all except sdcard. Then Flashed hamonia 1 + 2 as well as pikastix 07a. Is this the wrong file.

 

[ericrwmson1]

this is the zip to be flashed with signature verification off

Ok it works now. I flashed the normal. Then after posting found the remix. I missed it somehow.

Now my newer screen ov is running the Harmonia1+2 with pikastix remix. I like the option for wifi hotspot but other than that seems mostly stock.

May be the wrong place to ask but will the pikastix remix work on other roms or just the harmonia1+2, & which would be the rom most like gingerbread with extra wifi options. My friend had a gb look with wifi monitoring and other non stock ov tools.

 

[ericrwmson1]

The remix will work for Froyo roms like harmonia 1.X and bumblebee

yes, blarf changed it when he was setting up the IHO repo for ICS.

also, this guide MAY become obsolete, as I am chatting with Koush to either remove or fix the recovery in rom manager.

What about the roms?

That's not hard to fix, I could upload roms right now for the optimus v to rom manager.....
