[REF]Recovey backup of 1.6

---

Hi all as you have read Jack is trying to make a recovery backup of a 1.6 rom i have found a way that Jack can get this but i need a users who still has a 1.6 rom rooted with terminal emulator installed and to use these commands

info:

Your phone has several devices which hold different parts of the filesystem:

#cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00500000 00020000 "boot"
mtd1: 04000000 00020000 "cache"
mtd2: 00500000 00020000 "recovery"
mtd3: 00060000 00020000 "splash"
mtd4: 0f500000 00020000 "system"
mtd5: 002c0000 00020000 "lgdrm"
mtd6: 08a80000 00020000 "userdata"
mtd7: 00100000 00020000 "misc"
mtd8: 00080000 00020000 "usd"
mtd9: 005a0000 00020000 "pkg"
mtd10: 1cfc0000 00020000 ""



the commands i need you to run are these

Commands:

su
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/backup1.6/boot.img
cat /dev/mtd/mtd4 > /sdcard/backup1.6/system.img
cd /sdcard/backup1.6/
md5sum *img > nandroid.md5

running these commands will give use a fully flashable 1.6 backup so please users if you are running 1.6 then please run the commnds and upload the rom.

only problem is that nobody is on 1.6 anymore

hmm, still it is COOL project. Are you sure it is going to work? I mean why can not we just flash v1.x KDZ file (that should bring us 1.6 back, but LG says do not do this cause you will break phone).
so... if KDZ method doesn't work are you sure that recovery will work

yes recovery will work just think people have 2.3 and can still flash back to 2.1 or 2.2

You cant downgrade using KDZ as the bootloader wont downgrade, but our method should work when we get it sorted.

GOOD NEWS:

I'd sent my phone back to LG people coz my phone was totally bricked!! So they said that they'll replace my phone's motherboard with a new one. Currently my phone's still with the LG people and they're waiting for the new motherboard. The new motherboard will be having 1.6 pre-installed. Once I get it, I'll upload it soon.

But it seems that the LG people are quite lazy, and it may take another week to get my phone.

Cheers!

Why don't you try to extract the 1.6 ROM's KDZ file? Here's a thread that might help you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=899580 . I would gladly try it myself, if my Internet wasn't too slow (~0.2MB/s).

that what me and jack have been using im am going to have an optimus tonight running 1.6 so ill root that and get a proper flash files

in a few hours i should have update.zip made for the CPW 1.6 rom so look out for the title changing from [REF] to [ROM] also from what i can remember the boot.img should work with different 1.6 roms

Yay

Thank you so much, I've always wanted 1.6 for no reason what so ever
