Help! ICS ROM with no option to turn off fastboot- cannot get in

[jamesbecker79]

Ugh. So I flashed an ICS rom I found on xda. There is no option to turn off fastboot, so I cannot get it booted into recovery or hboot. What can I do!

Did you pull the battery, re-insert it, and hold volume down + power to get into hboot?
Are you sure the option is gone from Settings > Power> Fast Boot?

There is not power category in the settings. I went through every single setting to try to find it. And I did try to pull the battery, etc. With fastboot turned on you can't get to hboot.

A quick "ghetto" way to solve this would be to download CleanFlash from Scott's website.
Try the command to flash a recovery, and it should come up with an error, but still boot your phone into hboot.

I'll give it a try! Thank you so much

Update- It worked! Thank you so so much!

Let me know how it goes. If the error comes up before it tries to reboot the phone, you might have to toss in a .img file in the same folder as CleanFlash, just to get the process going.

Edit: The error is because you actually aren't attempting to flash anything, not because Scott's program doesn't work. Just want to clear that up.

Am I the only one that uses "adb reboot recovery"??? (Which is really all CleanFlash is doing)

Command lines are good and all, but a double click and a button press cannot be beat in terms of simplicity.

Edit: I noticed your lemon-based signature is gone. R.I.P. Lemon rant

It had to change. It was too long and probably didn't get enough recognition(especially by non-gamers)

I've had 3 people in total comment on my name on AC, so I know the feeling.
In retrospect, this was a stupid choice and I'm pretty tired of it. Also, for some reason, I thought Android and gaming went hand-in-hand, don't ask me why.

Can I use CleanROM for LG Optimus G2 on LG Optimus G? I can't find it for model LG Optimus G

Not sure why you posted this here...

No, you cannot, you need to use ROMs build specifically for your device and variant... Check the Development forums for your specific variant on XDA, there are lots of ROMs available. I would suggest Beanstalk, CarbonROM, or PAC-MAN for starter ROMs.
