Re: [ROM] Harmonia 1.6.1c (Aphrodite+Picasticks) 21Sept11
Ugh, I'm sorry to keep coming back here, Leslie, I know you're busy.
So I followed these steps (I took notes!):
1. Sideloaded the gingerbread.apk. Got root, phone rebooted.
2. Dumped the recovery image onto the sdcard along with the ROM and associated files. Using xionia cwma 12518.4 virgin.rar from the OP.
3. Used terminal emulator to move the a.img from the sdcard to /system/bin
5. Wiped data/cache using recovery.
6. Used the recovery to flash the 1.6.1c Edify version of your rom, as linked from OP.
7. Xionia asks me to reboot. I reboot from the recovery menu option "reboot phone now".
8. When the phone comes back "on", The LG logo appears -- and then I only get a backlit black screen. Holding the phone, I feel the vibrations that normally occur on boot -- one for the first logo, and one at the end of the end of the boot.
9. After the second vibration and waiting a while to see if the screen would come up (it didn't), the screen eventually timed out and went dark. Pressing the power button would result again in a black backlit screen.
10. I hard reset the phone by removing and replacing the battery. Booted into Xionia again successfully, reflashed the ROM. #9 repeats.
So I'm going to download the .zip a third time and cross my fingers. But, just so I'm keeping all my notes in the same place, here's what I think the next attempt will be:
This sounds exactly like what is described here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/op...black-screen-custom-recovery-custom-roms.html
If I'm understanding correctly, the Pikasticks kernel is Optimus V stock. Is that correct? If I'm understanding that post correctly, since this is a new phone I'll need to flash the Xionia Kernel on top of the ROM? The recovery you recommend in the OP has one of the older kernels, so I can't just use that.
My next attempt will be to flash the Xionia kernel here: [KERNEL] Xionia Kernel (v014 - v008, & v005) Ported to Optimus V (4/13/2011) - xda-developers (v14 AnyKernel) per the instructions regarding the blank screen fix.
edit: flashed the new kernel on top. came up with a blank screen. rebooted I get to see both Harmonia logos now. Phone boots normally. I'll retry the new zip, but I have to eat something now.
edit2: re-downloaded, re-wiped, re-flashed, same instance occurred. solved by flashing the Xionia AnyKernel v14. Will let you know re: stability after my wife uses it for the day.
