Help, Bricked LG Optimus V

Guys, please help.
I had the phone rooted and a custom rom installed it was a copy of the stock virgin rom without the annoying programs, everything was working fine, but when I needed to change the number on my phone i tried the ## some number # and it didn't work, so I went to the menu and tried a reset to factory default, whe it booted all I get is a clockworkmod recovery console, i can navigate to the sd card where there is a backup of the original rom and info, it lets me restore but when i boot I still get the clockworkmod recovery console it will only boot into this console, when i try updating or intalling a new room it always fails, can anybody please help me?

not bricked
Your not fully bricked if you can get to the clockwork mod. What version of clockwork do you have... 3.0.2.4? have you tried plugging phone into computer and see if it connects via sd card adapter not usb (looking for errors dead sd card)
try wipe data and sd card If this doesnt work try these steps found by ldking93 on androidforums.com ( I can't post link yet do too xda spamming rules :-(
1. Put your SD Card into your computer.
2. Download CM7 from here.
3. Download the google apps (Market, etc...) from here
4. Put these both on your SD Card, still zipped. (DO NOT unzip these!)
5. Start up into recovery (Hold volume down, home, power. When you see the LG logo, release)
6. Click wipe cache partition (you will need to use the camera button to select)
7. Click Advanced>> Wipe Dalvik Cache
8. Hit the power button to go back to the main recovery screen
9. Click Mounts and storage, then format
A) data
B) cache
C) boot
D) system
10. Click install zip from SD card
11. Click asopCM7-VM670-20110601-signed.zip
12. Once it finishes (it may be a while, and you should see no errors. If you do, PM me and I will help you.) Click your GApps Zip.
13. Reboot your system. You will now be using clockwork mod 7 (aOSP CM7).

update
download cm7 and gapps (google apps) from cyanogenmod's website, and if it doesn't work try googleing "lg optimus v clockworkmod boot loop" and click on link by androidforums or androidcentral

[Q]Slightly Urgent - Samsung Galaxy S won't start after Clockwork mod?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S that has been updated to Gingerbread via Kies.
I decided i would try my hand at installing the Cyanogen mod as listed here: wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide
I followed the exact instructions and the Heimdall Suite to install speedmod + clockwork kernel in the link they provided. The phone now just sits on the first boot screen "Galaxy S GT-I9000" and doesn't move. What am i missing here?
How do i place the zip files on the root of the SD card?
Or at the very least how do i just get the phone to work again? Where did i go wrong?
Edit, if i take the battery out and put it back in i can get the phone to start in recovery mode with clockwork, but it still won't boot. it just freezes

If you plug your phone into your PC, is it seen as a storage device? If so, copy the ROM.zip you are trying to flash to your SD and then select Flash zip from SD option in Recovery.
If your PC doesn't see the phone, use an SD card reader or another device to copy the zip to the card. Depending on the ROM you might need to have the gapps zip on there too so that you can flash that at the same time as the ROM.
Edit: From the wiki:
Method via Recovery
1.Download the latest version of CyanogenMod.
Optional: Download the Google Apps for the device.
2.Place the CyanogenMod update.zip file on the root of the SD card.
Optional: Place the Google Apps .zip on the root of the SD card also.
3.Boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery.
4.Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side volume buttons to move around, and either the power button or the trackball to select.
5.Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.
6.Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.
7.Select Install zip from sdcard.
8.Select Choose zip from sdcard.
9.Select the CyanogenMod update.zip.
Optional: Install the Google Apps by performing steps 7 - 9 again and choosing the Google Apps update.zip.
10.Once the installation has finished, select +++++Go Back+++++ to get back to the main menu, and select the Reboot system now option. The Samsung Galaxy S should now boot into CyanogenMod.

Turns out the wiki link to clockworkmod was out of date. Which was why the phone wasn't booting. reflashed it with the latest kernal for clockworkmod and now everything runs fine!

Galaxy Pocket S5300 MAK-DROID Help Needed

Hello guys, couple days back I quit smoking so i had some spare time and I thought I could improve my 1st android phone. Well, I am smoking this very moment and I have a very nice paperweight on my desk.
ROM: t=1873652
I've tried installing the ROM, but it didn't work. I've done everything exactly as in the tutorial, but I got stuck.
So I got past these steps:
* Download the CWM for pocket from here
* Copy update.zip into your internal memory
* Go to recovery mode (Vol-up + Home + Power)
* Choose apply Update from SD card
* Select update.zip file
* Wipe data factory reset,
* Wipe Cache data
but then I tried installing the ROM itself from the SD card I got the error "E:Can't mount /sdcard/"
I can't cancel the installation or boot my system, I don't have a data cable, although I have a card reader if that helps. My android was on the S5300XXLF5 stock firmware and I am using CWM v5.0.2.8. Oh and everytime I try to reboot the device from CWM menu it just freezes all I'm seeing is the console with the "Rebooting..." at the bottom of it.
What should I do now? I want to either get this ROM working or just getting my phone to work with any firmware - any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
update1
I get an error even before that, it pops up during "Data Factory Reset" procedure:
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblklp2
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format...
Data wipe complete.
oh and BTW, CWM getting stuck in the "rebooting..." stage is a perk of this build apparently...

Where did you get your ROM? Did you download the Mak-Droid ROM?
Copy the zip file to your sdcard. After you get the CWM running, you proceed to installing your new ROM. Read the instructions carefully.
And if you are stuck in rebooting, if you read the instructions- it tells you to manually reboot by pressing the power button. After this reboot, it will go back to the original MOD the you reboot again.
This should work for you...

I had the same experience. Just manually reboot the phone.
It is stated on the instructions that the reboot option on CWM for galaxy pocket doesn't work as of now.

[Q] Galaxy Gio bricked need help !

Hi all,
I got sick of Android 2.3.3 on my Samsung Galaxy Gio so I decided to root it and install CM 10.2. I followed a trusted root precedure and ended up with my Galaxy Gio beeing rooted. Then I went on to installing Clockworkmod (again using a trusted method).... I followed the guide exactly, but the only problem I ran into was that I didn't have a "root" section/folder on my SD card... So I just put it into the card with all the other files (not into any folder) . I ended up with "Superuser" installed and I then installed "Rom Manger" and gave it superuser permitions. Then I went on to installing the ROM (again following a guide) . I transfered CM 10.1 ( for my device) and gapps 10.1 and put them into the SD card. I entered into recovery mode but for some reason I didn't enter itno Clockwork MOD ( I noticed no change in the recovery esthetics, but I carried on anyway...) I went onto part 8. - Backup and Restore but didn't see that option so I skipped it.. (I know I should've stopped here :crying: )... ) so I went onto part 9. - Wipe Data/ factory reset so I did that and then went onto "apply update from sdcard". I selected CM 10.1 but it "aborted" so I tried again and then again and in the end ( after no succes) I decided to "reboot system now" but after multiple tries I never got past the Galaxy Gio "loading screen" . Then I got really frustrated and tried to undo things by randomly flashing gapps, CM 10.1, the Update.zip (which I used for the rooting) and then I wiped the Cache... All leeded to nothing and now my device is bricked Please give me some advice
Thanks !

First thing: Keep calm.
Second: It's not bricked
So: You havn't installed CWM Recovery, right? Put the update.zip(clockwork mod recovery zip file) onto your sd card -> run up recovery mode on your phone -> choose "apply update.zip"(or sth like this) and select the update.zip -> since you followed up guides you know that you need to format your phone's partitions to ext4 format so you probably have "ext4formatter.zip" file from our MMB team, install it using "install zip from sd card" in recovery -> restart recovery -> "wipe data/factory reset", choose "wipe data/factory reset" -> find "format system" command and use it too -> choose "install zip from sd card" again and flash CM rom -> wipe data again -> done, should work.

Hi. The real problem here is that I can't "install zip from sd" - I just don't have the option in the recovery and Clockwork mod recovery didn't boot up I just can't do it.. And I don't have an "ext4formatter,zip"

Please read this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421650
Download version 5.0.2.7
After installing cwm just flash rom, it MUST work - otherwise you're doing something wrong.

Got it !

Do a full wife before you install new ROM.
For installation, first, make sure you got your ROM and the correct Gapps on your External SD Card.
After that, enter CWM and:
select "wipe data / factory reset"
go to "mounts & storage" and format /system. This is extremely important!
under the same menu, format /sdcard (be careful NOT to format /external_sd by mistake)
install ROM (from the external sd)
install Gapps (from the external sd)
reboot your phone
Please, note that every step of this tutorial is mandatory! Credit to Arsradu

select "wipe data / factory reset" i did that but i this line
.

.
1." go to "mounts & storage" and format /system."
2. under the same menu, format /sdcard not there.

No space left
Hi
I have a Galaxy i9000 with Gingerbread XWJVI
I have CWM recovery 2.5.1.2
ROM Manager 5.5.3.7 (if I select "New start with recovery" it end with ...verification failed...)
If I restart in Manual mode (loud+start+menu)
then problem with...no space left on device.... message after wiping cache, data/factory reset and trying to "apply update from sdcard"
Sorry but I do not know where to find this:
...go to "mounts & storage" and format /system. This is extremely important!
....under the same menu, format /sdcard (be careful NOT to format /external_sd by mistake)
I suppose mnt/sdcard but I do not see any /system and what do you mean with format ?
What am I doing wrong ?
thanks
