anyone have thoughts?

thanks in advance.

On the VM670NH_recovery, you use the camera button to select, not the home key.

You forgot to the step to flash the gapps.zip right after ROM.

Need some help, this is my daughter's phone and she was having problems on CM7 so I restored a nandroid for her back to the stock rom. She tried to do a factory reset (didnt know she wasnt supposed to, I totally forgot) and now nothing works. Ive tried restoring it again, flashing a different rom, but get the same result after reboot every time - back to recovery. Is there anything I can do to get this thing out of recovery and actually reboot to a rom?

I'm don't have the exact link, but if you go to androidcentral.com's Optimus V dev forums, and search for 'boot loop recover', it involves flashing xionia recovery, which has an option to fix it, then flash back to normal CWM recovery, and custom ROM. But the xionia recovery is older and may not recognize newer LCD screens on newer Optimus V's. Basically go to androidcentral.com's forums since there's better Optimus V support community.

The recovery image is an alternative bootup instead of normal Android Operating System. It allows low-level operations such as backup/restore a ROM, wipe partitions, and flash ROMs.

4. Download and copy the recovery image VM670NH_recovery.img (works with new & old OV screens) onto your /sdcard.
5. Install the Flash Image GUI app (save the .apk to a /sdcard directory, then open it with file manager) Run the app & select 'Recovery Image' option with the file above.

I successfully rooted my Optimus V.
I flashed the Recovery Image as above. Pressing VolumeDown-Home-Power boots me into recovery, CWM-based Recovery v4.0.1.5.

I can navigate the recovery menu with the Volume U/Down keys, but if I press the Power button to select ANYTHING, all I see is an image with the yellow circle with the hat. Pressing Power gets me back to the main recovery menu. Can't even power off, I have to pull the battery.

Help, please??



EDIT: Never mind, I see now I need to use the Camera key.

Do I also NOT format the boot partition? Does formatting the boot partition wipe Recovery?

Format /boot if you want. Usually not necessary but won't hurt anything.
/recovery is a seperate partition and you can't format it from the recovery menus.

On an Optimus V, I had gone through all the procedures (Bobzhome CM7) except formatting partitions. It froze at boot on the green Android circle.

Redid the operation except this time I did this:
Wipe Data/Factory Reset, wipe cache partition. Under Advanced submenu, wipe dalvik-cache. Then uner Mounts & Storage submenu, format all partitions EXCEPT /sdcard and boot.

Flawless! Presently overclocking at 768MHz.

I just set to set CPU frequency on boot. But if there is a problem, how do I boot to the default 600MHz CPU frequency?

Also, any way to get rid of or replace the Virgin Mobile boot graphics?

how usefull thread !
