[ROM] VCRom v007

[zefie]

Guys with the Custom Recovery Boot Loop:
First off this is NOT a recovery image and do NOT flash it, follow the instructions provided!

1) Download recovery.bin
2) Extract file with 7zip or WinRAR or whatever.
3) Open a command prompt to the same folder as where you placed extracted recovery.bin

4) Run these adb commands
adb push recovery.bin /rec
adb shell chmod +x /rec
adb shell /rec

5) Now you should see LG's recovery menu. Simply hit "reboot" (first option).
6) Boot loop should now be gone.

Tech Details: LG has some funny voodoo going on and only their recovery can tell the phone to stop booting into recovery. This is why it says "do not remove the battery" on their recovery.

So, this will solve getting stuck at the android screen?

*joy* had to download/install a new version of 7zip so I could extract the "xz" file type... (had previously only seen that under Linux)...

I know this sounds like a noob question, but should we change this rom's name to update.zip and flash through LG's recovery, or what recovery should we load to flash, or, if you do not mind, spit out the nice command line assistance to those who are not as good with Linux.

I would like to be able to make a new nandroid of this rom...

No no. Flash VCRom with custom recovery.
The point of recovery.bin is for those who keep rebooting into recovery no matter what. This is usually a side effect of rooting VC.

Follow the steps you quoted if this is happening to you.

Nope booted fine, and rooted. Just wanted to move forward. Thanks again zefie.

 

[swg0101]

zefie,
Are you going to integrate the other improvements found in nROM/Legos/ThundeROM into this one as well?
Thanks!

I found myself in a strange land... (I followed your directions about adb push recovery.bin /rec, etc, etc)

then I adb shell /rec... which popped the original recovery menu on my phone... so I chose reboot which is what I thought you said to do... which netted me the regular modded recovery window...

I re-issued the commands... and then went down to erase cache...

I think I'm in a boot loop a this point... (basically android flashes... then flashes off the phone for a moment, then starts over.)

Edit:

ok... so before I flash this rom, I do a wipe/factory reset, flash zip file... (which appears to go through and verify it's integrity, then it formats partitions, and copies it's self over... then I do the commands above - hoping my juju will be better this time, and see the same results as earlier today... (eg it seems to bootloop)

and I'm unsure how to pull a meaningful log for this... (/var/log doesn't exist... dmesg doesn't give much of a reasonable result when run in a dos window...

thoughts)

Probably not. I don't have a V8/V9 phone to test with and don't really wanna go through the hoopla and switching it back and forth (unsafe to flash RADIO alot anyway)

Perhaps do this:
1) Boot it up connected to PC
2) while its still on the lg logo, run the following: adb logcat > bootdump.txt
3) Wait about 10 minutes, if its still not loaded, hit CTRL-C on the adb cmd
4) Upload bootdump.txt for me somewhere.

wait.... am I supposed to be doing the above if I have the zvc baseboard? or for something else?

You can do those regardless it will (should) show me where your boot is failing. We can go from there.

Per your request

The stock LG VC Update, rooted, works fine, and that is the nandroid I keep bouncing back to.

EDIT - ***The log is after flashing VCRom on VC, I run into the same problems, so I have attached an adb log dump. I am also getting a log and will post soon of VCRom and Xionia 006.***

 

[zefie]

Per your request

Okay, and what is your configuration?

Clean VCRom on V8?
Clean VCRom on V9?
Clean VCRom on VC?


What I am seeing here is:

But I'm not sure why??

 

[scifan]

Here's the log file I collected... (hopefully this provides some insight as to what's going on...)

Btw, I'm on VC baseband...

VCRom with Xionia 006

Here is a log, VCRom with Xiona 006.

Still seeing your PowerManagement fail and don't know why.

Please try to reapply VCRom 003 in this order:

reboot into recovery
wipe data/factory reset
wipe .android_secure
install vcrom 003 from zip
reboot

If that still fails I will attempt to recreate it on my phone and we can go from there.

Stock LG VC Update with Xionia 006

Well, this works, but here it is anyways.

EDIT-Let me make a nandroid of this, and I will try what you said.

I hadn't noticed the wipe .android_secure menu item before...

I will capture another boot log as well...

I let it run until it was obviously looping the same messages over and over...

I also tried this, to no avail...

PowerManagementService really dislikes us. You sure you aren't applying a Legorom Theme or something? Everything is 100% just VCRom_003? I will try this in a bit I'm kinda experimenting for VCRom_004 with themes so maybe I can find this and squash it for 004.

No theme, No boot animation, plain jane VCRom_003. I want to try something real quick....I was trying the process with the phone not plugged into anything, computer or charger.
