I used it to install cwm recovery without issue.

Good to hear back in my infuse days everyone said don't use Rom manager

Nowadays the rule of thumb is to never use ROM manager to install cwm unless its specifically stated to do so by devs for that particular model. I've seen it cause too many bricks. It may work but it may also brick u. U are better off using the recovery provided here.

Do a little digging next time, it was in the development forum.

Man I have dug it was just to solidify what you were talking about I have all those saved as favorites I just wanna get a consensus on what people are using and without a link how would I have known what you were talking about but thanks that's the route I'm contemplating

Use the recovery posted in this thread. It also tells u how to flash it. This recovery works.

I am currently running TWRP to see if the IMEI goes missing using it. If so we can rule CWM out of possibilities.
Gotta say though, I am liking it more than CWM. Give TWRP a try. :laugh:

Thanks guys I really do appreciate the words of encouragement and links and suggestions thank you for your time I'm nervous but going to-do it tonight
That's what she said ? Lol

I heard that twrp doesn't support external SD. If it doesn't then I have no use for it cuz I have everything stored on ext SD. That's why I use cwm

Yea I have been reading all these threads like always and have had and flashed a lot of things and even made a Rom or two on infuse lol never heard of this whole imei thing that's why I'm asking others it is not the lack of knowledge and reading it's a reassurance from others that are working ok

The file manager in TWRP see's my external SD. I am sure you can flash from it.
I only ever flash from internal though.

I came from infuse too and the individual thing scared me. Right now I have the opinion that if I am going to lose my imei I want to do it while I am still In the 30 day return period with best buy

Well, if you've checked the IMEI thread and read my posts I've done quite a lot today using TWRP. Even restored back to stock unrooted via Odin straight from JB AOKP. I'm not sure if it's how CWM does something with the partitions or what. I used TWRP because there weren't any reports, so I wanted to test and see.

Hard Bricked?

I accidentally flashed a pit file in Odin which I think was made for a Galaxy Vibrant, my other phone.
The phone wont boot at all. When I plug it into the computer, the computer makes noise like it registers it though. The normal 'ding' sound followed by an error-like sound.
Is there any fix?

And I want you to know that I was laughing at Rushing's comment, not your dilemma. I'm sorry you bricked your phone. If this does not get moved to the Q&A section soon, you may want to ask the question again there. I'm sure someone will chime in there with helpful comments, even if it's just to confirm that you need a new phone. I've never had to deal with more than a soft brick, so I'm not sure if a jig will help you or not.

You screwed your phone. You flashed a vibrant file on a T989. I've done this mistake when I was a super noobie thinking a "galaxy s2" name applied to all of them and I flashed a I9100 on my T989. I enjoyed a night of disappointment before I was able to call and finally get my replacement sent (it was under 20 days, thank god!) if your not so lucky, your screwed. However if they will accept it and return it they wont question you at all as long as you are super-hard bricked and cant boot or get into download mode or anything.

If you happened to change the recovery via odin, which I think you did, for something that ain't xompatible with our phone, yes you're done.
Nothing can be done sadly

30 Days in and my gps broke?!?!!

So I got my note 2 on day one and love it! Coming for the htc amaze 4g, the note 2 is awesome. So after 15 days I rooted my note 2. So easy when compared to the htc amaze or G1 days. Lol. I flashed jedi x-3 and everything was perfect. Then i saw jedi master 5 and flash it, I try to use my navigation but 1) gps icon didn't showed and 2) location was never found. So I nand restored to jedi x-3 but gps is dead! Has anyone had this experience? Thanks!

Download GPS Test from market. Hit menu, clear AGPS, then hit Update AGPS. Should restore functionality.

You may have to odin back to stock to get rid of the bug that's screwing with your gps. If all else fails, that may be your only option. Good luck.

So I am back and like I suspected I am 99.9% sure that GPS IS DEAD!!! Tried the clear the agps. Then tried to go back stock through odin, but nothing. I even went one step further and had a nand restore withnthe backup when I rooted my note 2 the first time. So everthing was working on that nand backup and went to restore with stock, but to no avail! Anyways bad luck? Maybe? Thanks everyone for the help and for your recommendation. :good: :good:

Yea I do. Download a tool called ODIN. also go to the android development forum and find the thread by author
Teshxx
Its called stock factory image. Download that file. Also search for a guide on how to return your device back to stock. Then flash that factory image
Look im being serious. If you do all this...the total time not including download time is a bout 15 minutes and your phone WILL work. I promise!

LG-LS970 Factory(ish) Images

First, thanks to criptix for joining me tonight, being prepared and following instructions. He was a great help and hopefully these images can help make some noise around here. I will add the system image as soon as it's finished uploading. The system image is stock, fresh factory reset, with root.
Boot.img
Recovery.img
System Image ZV8
There will be a CWM flashable .zip available soon also, so you can fix yer junk if need be. Nothing fancy, but you can feel free to kang, theme or whatever you can do.
Check out my GitHub for some helpful tools and scripts should you choose to try your hand at making kernels.
Cheers and out!

Do you possibly have a ZV8 image unrooted and completely stock? I would like to include in my tool the option to un root. Thanks for your hard work.

great, we needed and still need some more noise
will try it out after finals. good work

No. But it's on my todo list and maybe we can write a script to unroot in the meantime. If I write it in bash can you transliterate into shell?

Great resource, thanks!

this is moving right along! I have a nexus s and when I upgrade it seems it will be an easy transition to a rooted, possibly rommed device!

ZV9 just dropped in the rdf page. If jelly bean pops up I would expect to see more people buy the phone and more developers coming our way. WIN WIN!

Just making sure it was not a typo. Depending on how complex your bash is, i might be able to help you out. Or i could write one in shell that erases system and replaces it with an unrooted stock image.

Any idea of what's included with this update? Probably the same changes as MA4, other than the fact that this one is actually official (OTA).
