MODS PLEASE CLOSE THREAD --- new kernel by scooter fixed YAFFS error - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development

Mods please close these thread

OK, this is from l1q1d latest 2.6.32 (10-29) and merged with dream kernel by ezterry. I used HTC Android kitchen by dsixda and with help from scooter, got me an nbh from a zimage file.
I installed my ROM with this kernel and then installed iGO, ran some GPS and wifi, restarted about 30 times (clean shutdown) and yaffs stayed intact. Reset the device 5 times after each reboot..First, second, third reset was good...Fourth reset gave me a Google Framework error..Fifth reset gave me yaffs error....Anyone interested can try it and let me know how it works in your Kaiser. BTW, edit the Kaisimg.nbh depending on your device.
I recommend acayoeme or scooters ROM.

Thanks for the recommendation, I will give the kernel a try with my build to personally test it and see if I can figure out a way to keep it stable enough.

Ur welcome, thanks for trying out my kernel My friend is currently testing out this kernel with my ROM but since your ROMs are optimized for 2.6.32, I think it's best that this kernel be tested with your roms

Yeah I just downloaded it and just copied it to the phone, will let you know how it goes.

NAND did not work with the nbh for me. SD worked though, going to test further. With NAND it just hung at the android part of the nbh and in the install menu it did not detect the NAND in it. I have a TILT with display type 2 if that narrows down perhaps a difference in the NAND that there could be.

I'm pretty sure he had a type 2 Tilt too. I'll ask him.
Yes, he does have a Tilt type 2

Hmm thats odd, also I noticed it seems like I can't overclock to 570 mhz with the kernel so far, seems like its a little less tolerable to cpu instabilities. Other than that though all features seem to be working and 6+ reboots later with both on SD I haven't seen any corruption yet.

It was pretty snappy at 400 mhz...so we never did overclock and kept it at default speed. Just wondering why it won't install nand for you while we did not have any issues in his tilt.

Has anyone on a vogue or kaiser or anything else tried this yet?

I just tried NAND again and the error is a umount error, it seems like it tries to format with the wrong parameters, it gives an invalid argument error.
err seems like it is trying to unmount properly so it cant format it.

Looked a little closer at the error and it is actually saying it cannot find a flash device and that is why the sub sequent umounts are failing.

OK, got a hold of my friends Tilt...I am currently installing your Build..I'll post the dmesg and boot messages...somehow it installs with no issues on this Tilt both system and data on NAND. Currently on bootanimation.
OK booted fine...here are the files
BTW, very nice build Very fast..cant find the reason to overclock with this combo in NAND

I can't possibly think of why it isn't finding the NAND on mine. I am going to try reloading winmo and then re-loading the nbh fresh tomorrow. Thank you for the compliments, I overclock mine so high just because I have a hunger for speed, trying to make it as fast as I can, to compete with the dream and be faster even if possible.

Works fine with NAND. No problem detected yet.

Clean installation on NAND/NAND seems to install and boot just fine on a tilt screen 2

Thanks for trying it...LMK how it goes for you eg. stability, adb, SD removal and insertion while running etc..

I will just install it and see how it goes. Looks good

Installed, and so far so good using scooters cyanomod. Did a boot-reboot-boot-reboot-boot-reboot stress test, and so far no yaffs errors, and no data corruption. This is using a tilt with panel 3. I'll run it for a few days and keep you posted.

I appreciate you guys trying it...I suggest you no overclocking since it is very sensitive to overclocks

I have tried this kernel today with "Scoot CyanogenMod RLS4" and "Galaxy S for AndroidonHTC 11/1" which is based on Fresh Froyo. After the setup with both builds I installed a few apps and then I made an normal reboot (switch off, switch on again). Then I got the same error with both builds:
init: untracked pid xxx
And then the phone is in a loop and does not boot. Seems, that there are yaffs errors with this kernel after the reboot?
So I think this error belongs to the kernel and not the build because these are both different builds. My installation was system and data on nand and not overclocked. Maybe someone can help?

CM6.0.1 issues

I'm aware of the issues associated with CM6 RC3, but when I installed 6.0.1 today, I booted, the touchscreen was non-responsive, but the scroll wheel allowed me to reboot.
Initially, I forgot to install the stock htc kernel over the hydrakernel I had for Sense (#2), so I put that on. When I rebooted, my screen was responsive, but I noticed a lot of page tearing, and my "SD Card is damaged. May require a format" or some such nonsense.
I'd like to try CyanogenMod but thats a major issue to me. I followed the wiki guide to a T, so its not like it could have been install issue. I reverted to Virtuous 2.2 for the time being, so I find it hard to believe my SD card is damaged, especially since Virtuous doesn't come up with the error.
Any thoughts or ideas that could fix this? Anyone experience similar issues? Thanks in advance.
You should be using the CM6 kernel only. I'd guess that's the source of your woes.

Only use the kernal that comes with the rom. CM6 is very picky when it comes to custom kernals. I tried to flash hydra and kingx kernals and no go. Just use the original kernal and u should be good.
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
Make sure you're wiping data/factory reset and wiping the cache partition in Recovery before you install a different ROM.
There's also an alternate kernal you can flash if the stock CM6 kernel is giving you problems - search the RC3 thread to find it.
Thank you for all of your feedback. I'll have to do some thread searching to find that kernel. I assumed that may be the issue.

Just reflash the rom and it will include the kernel. Just make sure you have set cpu or some other app to underclock your processor if need be. It's clocked at 1.15 and that gives my phone a bootlooping and crashing party.

Its not the SDCard that requires formatting. It is the internal phone storage. If you view it via Astro, it should appear ok.

I thought 6.01 was clocked to normal speed and if you wanted the overclocking you just get 6.0 instead.

I think that 6.0.1 is defaulted to 1GHz, but you can o/c it if you want to with SetCPU or similar.
The kernel that comes with cm6.0.1 is already great. i get the best battery life i have ever had on my incredible. It can be overclocked to 1.15ghz
When I downloaded it defaulted to 1.15 so I guess YMMV.

Slow down and read everything over a bit better.
Hydra and King usually state somewhere SPECIFICALLY that they DON'T work with/support CM6. You don't need to find any kernel, just WIPE your device properly ( wipe data/cache/dalvik) before you flash it. Once flashed don't try any kernels.
Also understand there are known issues with it. One is that BT music streaming doesn't work at all. The other is that the OS doesn't scan the built in 8gb of memory. The third one is that you may experience a random reboot or suddenly get a black screen and unresponsive phone when using wifi. It may happen in 30 minutes, it may take 12 hours. It may not happen at all. It's not even close perfect yet.
The only issue I have seen so far is random reboots and yesterday when I booted up my Phone all my widgets were brown boxes and said they were not compatible, a reboot fixed that.

When you mount your phone via usb mass storage it is mounting more than just the /sdcard/ and /emmc/(internal storage)
It is mounting /data/ and /system
If you're running Windows it will ask you to format these partition's b/c it cannot read them. Do not format them because you will then have issues mounting those partitions and you would have to RUU/PB31IMG.zip
I have already seen this happen to more than two people.

Gah, that's still happening with 6.0.1? I was hoping that would be fixed since the official source drop from HTC.
I'd really like to give an AOSP ROM a good run on my Inc, but that's a deal killer for me.
Thanks for the heads up though.

I have had NO reboots at all since putting 6.0.1 on 2 days ago - and I connect to Wifi at least 50% of the time. Today, I moved toward overclocking, but for the past 2 days I have been running stock speed

Exactly what I experienced. I went half a day with it seeming perfect, then out of the blue I pick up the phone and it's just off and nothing I do will get it to come on. It's either pull the battery or wait several minutes and suddenly it finally reboots on it's own. It doesn't happen to everyone, but it happens to enough people to say it is a definite unresolved issue. It's very good otherwise, as soon as these little issues are cleared up It will be the ROM for me.

Clemsyn's BEST FROYO w/ REBOOT PROTECTION (BETA3) ENG/SPanish ONLY 12-3-2010

OK guys, My solution to the reboot data corruption is to install an ODEX version. I figured out that the DALVIk-CACHE was the main culprit, thus with an odexed version there are less data written to the DALVIK-CACHE.
USE l1q1d's latest 11/29 kernel.
This is my latest build BETA 3 protection. I have made changes on the way partitions are mounted, extra mount options added to /data to decrease writes and more speed. All apps in data are automatically odexed and a few apps in system folder is odexed. Wifi tether, skyfire, estrong file explorer etc were moved to system to provide more space in data partition for odexing apps. Few files in the build are replaced.
BETA3
http://www.4shared.com/file/yDdKUQcL/androidinstall_8.html
HOW TO INSTALL:
1. Clear Dalvik-cache and repair permssions
2. Install androindinstall.tgz
3. Install all your apps, MAKE SURE YOU INSTALL TERMINAL EMULATOR
4. Open Terminal Emulator and type:
su
sh /system/bin/odex.sh (This will odex your apps without rebooting)
Wait till it is finish.
5. Reboot
6. Make sure you press the D-Pad while reboot to enter LAUNCHER
7. Clear-Dalvik cache
THAT"S IT Hope this helps and let me know how it goes.

Beta1
http://www.4shared.com/file/lvONbK35/androidinstallodex.html
ENG/Spanish Only.
*** DO NOT DO A RESTORE of APPS, INITIAL FRESH INSTALLATION OF APPS IS REQUIRED ***
Rename to androidinstall.tgz and install system/data on NAND
Requirements and tips:
1. LATEST 11-27 kernel by l1q1d 2.6.32
2. Install system and data on NAND only
3. Radio 1.65 - 1.70 (reported issues with 1.71 have been noted but not verified)
4. Overclock and Reboots should be done within reason
5. If you press the power button and it seems like it is not responding, It's on Fake Vsync mode. Open keyboard and press FN+Left Soft button, then FN+ Right Soft button and it should wake it up.
BTW, if you were having any issues with my Final Release, it would be the same issues with this build. This is basically just an ODEX'd Version of my Eng/Spanish ROM

A chance of data corruption since it is deodexed and would have more data written in dalvik-cache. Simply clearing out the dalvik cache and fixing permissions should help. With an Odexed build, there are less data written in dalvik cache coz the data is with the odex files.
thank you!
is there a way, to install it as an update?
so that it won't delete everything?
just rename it to "androidupdate" instead of "androidinstall"?

Sorry, I don't think there is a way to make an androidupdate, the whole odex build is different in a way..

Update
OK, did my igo GPS to go to McDonalds, did some browsing at McDo then went home played some music, pulled out the battery while playing music...STILL NO loop, FC or lost app...so far so good. If this is OK for 24 hrs, I'll take off the beta label.
could you please also update the corresponding one for installation on system/NAND and data/SD?
I tried the version of system/NAND and data/SD with the latest the kernel. it crashed and rebooted many times.

I don't think this odex will work with SD coz I haven't tried it. I suggest you try to Final release instead of this odexed beta for NAND installation. The main purpose of this release is to attempt to fix data corruption on NAND installation (which so far this odex version has done for me at the moment).
Update:
Pulled the battery out and reboot was OK. Ate dinner with the family. Went back and was stuck on white screen. Was on massive Fake Vsync so I pulled the battery out and restarted. Looks good except my Launcher had no app (black blank), it might have been loading but I pulled the battery out again....Turned it on and everything is back as it should, no FC no rpc loop, every app back in launcher. Still looks good.
Hey clem I'm testing ur SD build with latest l1qu1d's kernel (11-27) its rock solid but kinda sluggish... how's ur new build in speed? I mean, its odexed.. that's a pro, but I have my doubts bout having cache on the SD (look at my sig, I'm using a class 2 SDHC) could it be compared to a NAND or its more lika a SD installation?

i put on the NBH the following config:

Thanks for trying it I think we really got it this time. I was driving with Igo Running, asked my wife to pull out the battery while Igo was running (this usually gives me errors and requires reinstallation) and locked on a signal. Then turned it back on...no errors, no loops, all apps still in my Launcher.
I will build an all language after 24 hrs of testing this.
Hey Clemsyn! Thanks for this build, I'm testing right now. So far so good. Turned off, turned on. Pulled battery, Still working.
Now I have a question, Way before, when I used Vanilj Eclair, I never had any problems with data corruption. I used the build for like 3 months before I decided it was time to upgrade to a more Up-to-date Android Build for my Kaiser. My main point is, Why is it just now that there are problems with Data corruption??? Thanks!

Best Android Build!

hi guys,i'm wondering,what is the best and stable Android build that u haved tested? i see alot of builds here but i dont know witch one to choose
All builds are pretty good, it really depends on your personal taste, and what you're looking for.
I'm running Not So Super Froyo Latest RLS, with 2.6.25 kernel by l1q1d, so far pretty good build.
Had several crashes the last 2 weeks, but all kernel related to phone sleeping, but minor data corruption (fixed by reinstalling the corrupted app, unless it's a system file then I just reinstall the build)

your systems apps should not get corrupted, potentially minor data loss though because of the odexing process the classes.dex files are not kept in the dalvik cache. so the only thing that could have a problem is the launcher.
this is what the reboot protection was moving the dalvik to the sd so that way it wasnt kept on the system, since the sd does unmount when shutting down
for me the best is Fat Free Froyo with lastest 2.6.25 kernel from git.
The stability really comes from the .25 kernel as it is much more older and mature. My barebones build might work with .25? I haven't tested it but I recall someone saying it worked.
I don't think it will work since scooters cyanogen has a different libskia than other builds

Apparently that doesn't work for me, especially with the 2.6.32 kernel. No matter how I reboot (button, battery, actual menu option), almost all apps get corrupted, and the Framework gets completely shot the **** (no lock screens, unable to silence phone or turn on Airplane mode).
The Dalvik move to SD apparently doesn't work for me either, unless it's only on a certain build? I'm using Not So Super Froyo RLS18.
I must reflash rom every one -two day, its crash, not workink proceses, system its very slow, after restart phone not remember settings and sometimes delete any data. i test very much roms,
Best Android build is Warbyte Donut for me, very stable and all works fine and quickly, but it is Donut and I Need Froyo..
i see
i got instaled a Donut build,but the white screen and the file system coruption made me to switch back to Wm i'll w8 untill a new build will appeare
fat free
I've got the fat free froyo on kaiser with .32 kernel downloaded with atools.
It works fine with an sd system install (class 6). Fast and stable.
You can olso try system on nand and data on sd! I could not do this because my nand is corrupt....but the result was really good.
The problem you were having was caused by your kernel not the build

Yes it was a kernel fault. Listen to people who are more knowledgeable than yourself. Next time install kernel from '25 branch which is stable and doesn,t suffer from white screens and data corruption. The kernel you used was experimental and it still doesnt work as well as we would want it to.

Recovery mode - Hold Volume down+camera+power to power on the phone
Reset phone - Hold volume up+camera+power. This generally works when the phone is completely locked up.
Flashing:
When going between versions of ACS, check their notes to see if you need to do anything other than flash. You can go between some versions without wiping or losing anything. You can also flash between standard and fully loaded without wiping or losing anything.
Sdcard doesn’t mount in CWM, but shows up in Android - Format the sdcard in Android.
Boot hangs on the Samsung screen – Redownload, format your SD card and reflash
Boot screen flashed between different things – Wipe cache & data 3x and reflash
Journaling:
Enable journaling – In CWM, go to backup and restore. Backup, then restore using that backup. Journaling enabled!
Make it so you don’t need journaling – Keep a copy of the ROM on your phone at all times. Should you ever have data corruption, jump into CWM and flash the ROM again. It’s quick, no wipes needed.
If you restore a backup made in CWM and want to have non-journaled again – Flash the ROM after restoring.
Other issues:
FC in a specific app – Go into manage applications and clear data for that app
FC in several apps – In CWM > Advanced, try fixing permissions. Can also clear caches, and if that doesn’t work, reflash the ROM.
If you have any major issues that seem unresolved, Odin everything back to stock with EB13, format your sdcard in android, re-download everything, re-install CWM, re-read all of k0nane’s posts on page 1 and try again.
If you want ads back – Install adfree from market and hit revert
If your phone is freezing often - Flash either the vision kernel found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012136 or the Twilight 1.0.4 kernel found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12504067&postcount=5904. I haven't had the freezing issues, but I'd recommend trying the vision kernel first as it has some other potential benefits.
Recommended tweaks and add ons:
Fugutweaks – This will smooth out a few random things on the phone. I’ve noticed more responsiveness on the lock screen and icons on my homescreen. Small, but nice. Install the ZIP in CWM, file can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=981125
Impaled Keyboard – Makes the keyboard less likely to skip keys. Still have some, but they’ve gone down a lot. I use the Speed Demon Edition, still had a fair amount of dropped keys with standard one. Install the ZIP in CWM, file can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025533&page=18
SetCPU – Handles scaling the CPU and overclocking. Use ondemand setting for smooth performance. If you have issues when the phone is idle or it doesn’t wake up properly, set minimum CPU to 200Mhz. Free for XDA members, APK can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419
Battery Calibration – If you want to calibrate your battery without going into CWM, grab the app from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1024867. It’s now available from the Android Market.
Vision Kernel – Pretty much Twilight + gives you 1.4Ghz and Voodoo colour which improves balance when brightness is at 100%. Flash in CWM, wipe dalvik. Kernel can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012136
And a final note that I'm now about 10 hours into testing... if you are using fully loaded and want better battery life, really try standard. It very easy to switch, it flashes over fully loaded with no wipes or data loss, the only thing you lose is that it resets your homescreens. But really, this is day 1 of it for me and 10 hours in I'm at 62% battery remaining. Usually by this time I'd be around 20%.
Great info! I recently installed the newest SyndicateROM 1.1.0 on my Epic and the only trouble I had was with the included Twilight 1.1.0 kernel. My phone kept freezing and I would have to pull the battery to reboot.
This is an issue that has been documented with the ROM and is said to be caused by the kernel and its adjustments to voltage and overclocking, not all phones handle this well.
To fix the issue I flashed the Twilight 1.0.4 kernel, as suggested by k0nane, and I am about a day into testing without any freezing issues. The only problem is that the Twilight 1.0.4 kernel has a known issue with video recording and it does not work.
Let me say that the performance increase from installing SyndicateROM and ext4 are well worth the trouble.
Have you tried the vision kernel? That might fix your freezing without breaking video recording.
is your brightness at 100%??? what was the difference between standard and fully loaded again??

What does the brightness have to do with anything? And for the differences, here's from the SyndicateROM thread:
k0nane said:
SyndicateROM Standard includes LauncherPro. All Samsung and Sprint bloatware are completely gone!
SyndicateROM Fully Loaded - the choice of ACS team lead rjmjr69 - features TouchWiz instead of LauncherPro, and adds in Social Network Sync, Facebook, BuddiesNow, Program Monitor, and the stock live wallpapers. All the rest of the bloat is still gone!

The brightness for battery life.
No, brightness is not at 100%. I generally use 0-25%, though I'll kick it to 100% when viewing photos or when I'm outside. Even with the lower brightness setting, I'd always have to recharge in the afternoon. I'm still doing a lot of testing for ways of having the battery last longer, today is longest it's ever gone for. I'll be adding more information when I feel like I've got a solid way of having it all setup.
OP, could you add the freezes and "terrible battery life" solutions? Namely, flash the kernel in the second post or VisionKernel. It's the most annoying one to answer multiple times daily.
Thanks much for this! Hopefully people read it.
I want to get the battery situation on my phone sorted out before adding it to the list. I was having pretty bad battery life, but switching to standard and removing gallery has made my phone last all day for the first time ever. I want to do some experiments between setcpu options, juicedefender and the vision kernel to see what works best. Hopefully by this weekend I'll have a more detailed idea as to how to get better battery life.
But for now, anyone having battery issues my current setup is using ACS standard and replacing gallery with quickpic. This has doubled my battery life.
Hey wassup everyone, first time writer long time viewer, and first let me say thanks to all the great people that have provided us with great roms for the epic and the syndicate team as well, Im currently using a Epic 4G with sindicate rom freeze 1.1.0 and i must say its awesome, aside from my battery dying really quickly when im runing it at 1.3ghz its actually great, usually i end up operatig it at 800mhz to actually save some battery life last me for 3 days at a time, and when i have it pluged in or show off my awesome epic i raise it back upto 1.3ghz, big difference cuz when i raise it up there my battery drains rather quickly like 3 percent a minute or so.....
well anyways now that, thats says, I have CWM 3..0.5 with syndicaterom twilight 1.1.0 and ive been sucessful at loading custom boot animation, but one thing is that im having trouble is loading the animation with sound? any idea onhow i can od that?, what are the steps, cuz so far ive been using root explorer to transfer and change bootanimation to load up on my screen, but i have no idea where to put the sound or how to even get it to load with the bootanimation any one have any ideas? please help, i do all his trought my phone, put the bootanimation on my sd and work from there and trasfer it to the system/media, most bootanimation that do have sound on them say to put it on the system/custimization/resources but i look every where and the syndicate rom doesnt have that archieve just the system/media, how can i load the sound into my boot? and how can i change the power off animation as wll?
Maybe someone should make a wiki "Trouble shooting guide" formatted like the ones found in the back pages of user manuals..
This might.. just maybe (crosses fingers) alleviate the never ending repeating of questions in the main sfr thread

Just tested Vision kernel 1.1 and ran into countless issues. My phone would not open camera, gallery, or music apps. And after that debacle I didnt even bother to find out if any other apps were misbehaving.
The first sign of trouble came when I installed a fresh version of SyndicateROM 1.1.0 and then flashed Vision kernel 1.1. The phone booted-up fine but when I went to shut down it immediately froze and I had to pull the battery.
Im going to stay on Twilight 1.0.4 kernel for a while until I find something else.
I have tested Twilight 1.0.4 kernel for about a day or two and have not had any problems so far. I even overclocked with SetCPU to 1.2GHz without any issues.

Please Help a Novice
I have installed this ROM, followed the directions and thought I did everything right. But when I rebooted the phone, I just get the Clockwork Recovery screen. Have I bricked my phone? How do I recover? Please please please help...Haven't even had my phone for a day...
By the way, the error I'm getting is:
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
I backed up before I installed this ROM, and Restore brings me back to this same screen / message

Please elaborate on the steps that you took to install the ROM and CWM.
What version of CWM are you running?
What modem do you have installed (...DK28, EB13, EC05)?
Have you transfered the SyndicateROM 1.1.0 onto your SD card before you installed CWM?
Did you wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache at least three times each before installing the .zip?
Your phone most likely is not bricked, that is a very hard to task to achieve. Worst case scenario you may have to do a clean wipe with odin and flash the stock ROM to start the process over. We can try to help you with any issues you may have but in the mean time try searching to the forum to find answers to these questions.
Hey, great idea for the thread.
Something I learned:
I was having AWFUL freezing problems. Tried all the fixes (vision kernel, old twilight) to no avail. If these don't fix your problems, try Genocide Kernel (on these forums). Solved my problems.

Fix permissions in CWM/etc.
Kernels cannot cause that. It's that simple.

I used the one step root process I found here to install CWM 2.5.1.0. I then downloaded the ROM, copied it to my SDcard, then used CWM to install the zip from my sdcard.
I don't know what modem I have, is there a way to check with my phone in it's current state?
I installed CWM previous to transferring the rom to my sd card
I did not the first time, but per instructions on the page where I downloaded the ROM, I reformatted my sd card, redownloaded the ROM, wiped everything 3x's and tried to reinstall. Same result. I keep getting the error on just about everything I do that states "E:Can't open /cash/recovery/log"
And thank you for your advise, any more would be greatly appriciated. I did search the forum, but there is so much information, hard to find what I really want, especially as a novice. I plan to not be a novice for long thanks to xda!

I could probably answer that question, im still a noob, but from what i know u need to install CWM version 3.0.5/6 in order for u to run does roms, thats why ure having trouble flashing it, since Syndicate roms are EXT4 Base Roms anything lower then CWM3 wont support since they are RFS files, go here and follow the steps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976194
download the CWM3 and root it again, u can run the CWM Root over the previous 1 so dont worry, i did it that way and i had no problems what so ever, as to check to see what modem u had, go to settings, about phone, under base band version check to see if the last 4 letters says EB13, or DK28, or if u have the ECO5 which is the newest stock base update that came out.
Also its best to know if ure phone is from stock, or if u updated from any of the first 2 version updates, EB or DK, if u where like me that waited for the update and stayed at Eclair then updated when the ECO5 OTA came out then u should be fine....
Just incase u are from a update of EB or DK here is the link for does 2 versions of CWM3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897612
if im wrong then someone please correct me im still a noob learning.
EDIT: just noticed that u said ure phone is messed at that point, umm u can try to do a factory reset then restart ure phone see if that fixes the problem, then try follow the steps above, if that doesnt work, u will have to download odin, which is also in that link and reflash back to stock, everything is there so if u follow does instrunctions u wont have a problem.....its actually pretty easy.....

[ROM][WIP][4.4.2] CyanogenMod 11 KitKat for Optimus S/V

CyanogenMod 11 KitKat for Optimus S/V​
This is a basic CyanogenMod 11 rom for the Optimus S/V. It has NOT been tested extensively and I take NO responsibility for any bricked phones, data loss or damages that occur as a result of flashing any version of this rom. It requires ClockWorkMod 6.0.4.5 or later, or TWRP 2.6.3 or later, in order to flash.
What works:
Phone calling (ZVH and ZVJ radios require a patch)
Wifi
Mobile data (thanks to thekraven)
USB tethering
Camera
USB mass storage, MTP
What's broken:
Bluetooth
Wifi tethering
SELinux
You tell me
CWM 6.0.4.6 can be found in the rom directory. Flash Skinny_4.4_Gapps.zip after flashing the rom to get Play Store and Google Sync. Other Gapps will probably be too big to fit on /system.

CM11 KitKat os2sd Version:
cm-11-20140116-thunderc-skinbark-sd.zip is a version of CM11 which is designed to run off your sd card.
To use this version:
1) create and format 3 ext4 partitions following the fat32 partition on your sd card (use gparted not a windows partitioning tool)
/data - at least 256 mb (512 mb or more recommended)
/system - at least 256 mb
/cache - at least 256 mb
2) format /boot in cwm
3) install cm-11-20140104-thunderc-sd.zip
4) install Skinny_4.4_Gapps-sd.zip and reboot
Known Issues (in addition to those in post #1):
formatting/backup/restore issues
possible reduced performance (older/slower sd cards)
reduced battery life (?)
Add wipe zips to a folder on your sd card and flash them from recovery to clear external /data, /system, /cache, or all three.
CWM_6.0.4.6-thunderc-sd.zip is a special version of CWM for os2sd that should only be used if you understand how it works.This version of CWM is not necessary to flash the os2sd rom. See this post for more info about recovery issues with this rom.
A Class 10 microSD card is recommended for best performance.
Power off or reboot to recovery before removing sd card.

Warning: This is a highly experimental setup and a work-in-progress. You should have adb installed and know how to use it, along with the flash_image command, before attempting this install. If you have trouble installing this and are unsure how to resolve the problem ask for help on this thread. I take no responsibility for bricked devices, data loss or any other damages resulting from the use of this software. USE AT YOUR RISK.
New build with rild fix for ZVD/ZV5. You'll want to upgrade to this for stability and battery life even if you're not activated.

Well the biggie right now is getting data going which is sort of difficult for me since my phone's not activated (next week I hope). I'm assuming you're not activated? I guess just general stability and performance, battery life, see what you can run on on it, put it through the wringer. All info is welcome since I really haven't had much feedback yet. It seems to be pretty stable. Let me know if you have any problems, thanks.
really works well...nice job. No chance to test 3g data yet, but everything else works very well...I had to install a keyboard manually, and the battery stats are wrong (fully charged, and stayed fully charged all day) but it is def a daily driver for me.
I uploaded a new 'OS2SD' rom with special recovery, gapps and virgin fix:

After a crash fest with the build at the time of my last post, this newish one is alright so far. Things get choppy fast and the input is a real pain. That is about as good as I have it. Alternate market works, wifi is good, and its chugging along.

long press home and press the three-bar onscreen button to close running apps.
also fast reboot off market is very handy to manually clear ram. heard about that one from andyopie150, like it.
Ya the main issue is just generally its a bit slow. I'm not trying to be one of those people who dog the ROM cause devs sibt human but this is just what I have experienced. I know our SOC came out when Moses was around so I'm not expecting miracles. I'm not sure if you guys have more planned or not but its really neat how efficient the phone is on 4.4 and if it was to get faster it'd be amazing.
The keyboard, can you guys adjust the size values? Its microscopic! Hacker's Keyboard fits the bill in the meantime.

For now I can just suggest the usual speed-up stuff - turn off animations, ksm, cpu/governor etc. There may be some build.prop tweaks you could use, and I'm expectiing zram support to be enabled soon. Crossbreeder might be something else to try. If we could get ART going it might help some but I don't know if that's likely. I probably won't try to tweak the stock keyboard, there's plenty of alternatives available.
tried flashing this on my optimus V and i got a error when i was flashing it, error 7 i think it was, i used the CWM you wanted us to use but it made it so that i couldnt boot into recovery.

Any information is a good thing, positive or negative. Harmonia with the Xionia kernel fairly flies speed-wise, but everything since that seems to choke my phone somewhat. And Mirage is the best Gingerbread available... but I enjoy the extra features more than the speed, which is what keeps me trying for the bleeding edge.
(example: the double-tap-hold-and-slide to zoom is built in all over 4.4, in 4.2 I only saw that in Maps.)
ART may or may not happen. I have to learn more thumb assembly to fix it. My decent class for school this session (the easy one since I did 8088 back in 1991) is x86 assembly. Doesn't apply, but maybe I can get more parallell info from it. There's lots of good info out on the net with minimal searching as well, but not much if any on downconversion of thumb2 to thumb1 code. I found enough to fix a few files but there's still more to go. I'd be impressed with myself if I got that to run.
CrossBreeder seems to work.
