Let's at least try and get what is needed for a custom recovery:

-base kernel address
-boot command line
-page size
-partition layout

With this we can get a working RZR recovery as posted back a few. Who knows how to get this stuff :) ? I think I can manage partition layout but would need input on rest. Anyone?

IDK either i will google and see if i can find anything out and post if i do

Well, for anyone wondering. LG does have the Kernel, Android, NDK open source and available for download from: http://www.lg.com/global/support/ope...opensource.jsp I was able to download the source for the myTouch (LGE739) This is actually very good news. Hopefully we can use this to actually get somewhere Any idea how you would be flashing this once you compile it? AOSP instructions talk about fastbooting into the recovery but I haven't found a way to do that yet. Do we have to use LG's updating software?

Titanium Pro backup for mytouch q (c800)

---

Does anyone have a titanium pro backup of the mytouch q (c800) or can make a copy for me? I was removing some bloatware and I believe I accidentally removed a few vital ones and now when I reboot it keeps reinstalling android over and over. I stupidly forgot to make a backup Either that or I'm looking for the files that were originally in the system folder (which is where the bloatware files were originally located). Thanks for your help, you guys.

no idea how to get any of this stuff, but im pretty good on my toes and learning new stuff...so ill look into it... Seems like its gonna be us who push this device out there. This RZR recovery is a great idea.

Though i do like the phone Stock ROM i still would love to see MIUI on this phone.

edit: I figured out the base kernel address is 0x00200000 .. one piece of the pie solved. Also i think i have the partition layout as well. Not 100% . But we'll know soon. I have posted the info that i found in the original thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...309454&page=16

Add me to the list of followers :) My wife wanted this one for some reason. Looking forward to our own development section :)

Question?? this is my first T-Mo experience, does t mobile release RUU's or any other system images? as we tinker with our my touch's it would be nice for a safety net to go back to stock.

also has anyone else notices when you hit system updates (update now) it throws up a error message "connection failed caused by authentication error"

i was just curious to see if there were any updates after i bough the phone lol

I don't think T-Mobile has ever put out the system images, but you can download the source from LG and compile it yourself, it is stock, I don't know if it includes the T-Mobile bloatware or not. I asked a T-Mobile rep what it meant when it said "Connection failed caused by authentication error", they said its because there is no update currently available, it will throw that error. When there is a software update available, they will notify you, either by SMS or software update notification.

How did you find the partition layout and cmdline?
Partition layout can be found using this command right?

adb shell cat /proc/mtd

I used a terminal on the phone cat /proc/cmdline for cmdline and cat /proc/partitions for the partition layout.

Can you please send me the copy of your backup?
