an upload of the stock recovery would be nice and also a flashable ROM of the stock system ROM would be nice.
I'm so excited! All I really want is CM7 but CM9 or CM9.1/CM10 would be great
too bad I cracked my phone's screen
EDIT: fuuuu. I did the correct command for term but I think it just wiped my phone and yes I was rooted and gave terminal SU permissions.

I have a C800 my touch q by lg for T-Mobile. I screwed me phone up completely somehow. I cant get past the LG logo but I am able to get into the stock recovery on the phone. It wont let me flash any roms or images, it keeps saying: E: cant find misc.Sometimes the recovery recognizes zip flders and when trying to install the rom it sometimes denies it because of some security problem.
I tried to use the lg support tool to update but the phone wont connect long enough with my computer to update fully.
Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?
My sd card is empty and phone is useless, anyone know how to get it to stock?
Anyone know how to get s/w mode on these phones?

S/w mode is volume up plus e key plus power but its best to try that last
first try to flash cwm http://androidforums.com/mytouch-q-all-things-root/577069-recovery-cwm-fully-working-cwm-recovery-nandroid-everything.html
Then flash the nandroid

I'm up for testing roms
Cm7
Cm9
Custom stock
MIUI
others.
Updated OP with information re: stock recovery, stock ROM, and stock baseband. Might be helpful if you're bricked
@vedy33, are you able to get to an adb shell with the stock recovery?

This zip was improperly made, it won't flash because everything is in a subfolder. Fixed version here: See OP
You'll all also be happy to know that I'm actively working on CM7/CM9!

Hey, it was past 3AM
I'm not as young as I used to be!How's the CM7/CM9 coming? I'm trying to work on the kernel but am not having much luck.
Also: updating the zips in the OP with the correct folder structure. Should be finished uploading about an hour after this edit.
Also Also: ultravioletnanokitty (that was fun to type!), you might want to remove your link to the ROM as well... the folder structure wasn't the only thing I got wrong - I zipped the folder that still had CarrierIQ in it too. Whoops.

Sorry, yeah, my bad. Zipped from the wrong folder. The radio file should work now. Stock ROM will be finished uploading in an hour.
I'm am very happy to hear that.
Also can you please rebuild the stock radio zip if you don't mind
ok issues with my c800. all this was before i found this fourm btw.....anyways. i had it rooted and a factory reset was done on it. well when that was done the setup wizard stopped responding. ive tried alot and no go. when the battery gets low the power saver options come up. i can use basic stuff. cant get to the usb menu to enable debugging. im also not sure of all the boot options for this phone. like volume down a and f. or power and home or things like that. any way to fix this?
Um, you might want to flash the stock rom that I just updated with the link in the thread. It's deodexed and has CIQ properly removed.
Can you try fixing permissions?
EDIT: On second thought I'm uploading a zip that sets the permissions on /system properly.

21ClockworkMod Recovery (Unofficial)Finally we have fully functioning CWM recovery for the LG C800, also known as the T-Mobile USA MyTouch Q, also known as the Bell/Virgin Canada Eclypse! After many said it couldn't be done... here we are!
How to Install
0. Prerequisites
You will need:
- ADB and fastboot (http://dottech.org/downloads/adb_fastboot_and_other_tools.zip)
- LG's ADB drivers, available here.
Optionally, you will need:
- Root. (Use SuperOneClick root) Note: Root is not required for flashing via fastboot, but may be required for recovering should anything go wrong!
1. Back up your old recovery! ROOT REQUIRED
Open up a shell on your device by using adb shell or running your terminal emulator.
If you see a $ prompt, typeto get root. Otherwise if you see a # prompt you are ready to proceed.Code:su
Typeto write the stock recovery to your sd card. This will take about 8 MB of space.Code:dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/sdcard/stock-recovery.img
2. Prepare the phone for future awesomeness
First, we must get the device into fastboot mode. In order to do this you must be able to have ADB access to the device. ADB is accessible when you are on the charging screen and when the phone is fully booted. You can enable ADB (debugging) access in the Application settings to access the adb service while your phone is fully booted.
Get the phone to the charging screen or enable ADB in the OS. Now, plug in the phone and verify you have adb access from your computer:
Code:adb devices
If your phone is not showing up, go into device manager and make sure the LG ADB drivers are properly installed.
Once you have ADB access, run this command on your computer:
Code:adb reboot bootloader
This brings the device into fastboot mode. What does fastboot mode look like? Well, it looks like a whole lot of nothing, mainly. If your phone boots up at this point and hangs out at the LG logo for a while, you're in fastboot mode. To verify it's in fastboot mode, run
Code:fastboot devices
it should show something like
Code:C:\androidsdk\platform-tools\> fastboot devices ? fastboot
If you see this, you are ready to flash!
3. Flash!
To flash, first run
This erases the recovery partition and ensures that everything is zeroed out so nothing gets in the way.Code:fastboot erase recovery
Now run
protip: Tab autocompletes. It saves a lot of key strokes if you have a lot of long folder names like I do!Code:fastboot flash recovery C:\Path\to\downloaded\lgc800-recovery-cwm-chui101.img
It should almost instantaneously transfer the recovery image, and pause just a few seconds more to write the CWM recovery image. When done, you can type
to reboot the phone back into the main OS.Code:fastboot reboot
4. Reboot into recovery!
To reboot into recovery:
- Issue an adb reboot recovery from your computer wherever you have ADB access (charging screen, stock recovery, or the main Android environment if you have it enabled there.)
- Or, from the phone's powered off state, hold down VOL DOWN, F, and A, and press the power button. Once the LG logo appears, you can release the power button. Once the LG logo disappears and reappears, release all the the buttons.
Welcome to CWM recovery! You can take a nandroid backup, mount USB storage, and flash zips from here! Hopefully this opens the door to CM9 and other custom ROMs on this device!
Buttons are:
MENU or VOL+ = up
HOME or VOL- = down
GENIUS or ENTER = select
BACK or DEL = back
Note: If anything goes wrong, you can return to stock recovery by using, or by using the CWM flashable zip available below. Note: Above command REQUIRES ROOT.Code:dd if=/sdcard/stock-recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
Downloads
It is recommended that you check the MD5 sum of your downloads!

Thanks to:
misterfamilyguy for getting the ball rolling
vtinoc for getting the ball rolling again
mudtub for helping build all those recovery images and deodexing3As a convenience, I mirrored all the stuff you might need to get an LGC800 T-Mobile myTouch Q rooted, modified, or unbricked at:
http://mediafire.com/strumcat
Drivers, ADB/fastboot, Chui's recovery, flashable superuser, factory ROMs 2.3.4 and 2.3.6, and tools for opening the ROMs and/or unbricking with them.
As usual, use them at your own risk.
To answer the question about CM9, yes, it's working and Chui has done a great job. Thanks, Chui, and all the other developers who provided all this great software.2Thanks chui101 for getting the ball rolling. Good work.
Is there a link to the kernel source for the LGE C800?
I would certainly be interested in compiling a kernel and CM7 or even CM9. I have all the proprietary files needed, just need to dig around in the source and I'll upload to my github repo.2Yeah they have a 2.6 series kernel for gingerbread posted:
http://www.lg.com/global/support/opensource/opensource.jsp
search for LGC800, and it should be there.
I'm trying to get CM9 to build and I think I'm way over my head with the kernel config!2CWM Backup
Here is the stock rom clockworkmod backup just unrar into the clockworkmod folder
its 2 parts.
