The keycombination isn't at CWM... it's at bootloader.

Nova ROM inludes a way to access from boot using a physical key... but stock ROM doesn't... no way at the moment.


Ok thank you :)

if i install clockworkmod now, is it easy to make anything false?
-irst i have to get root (i am on v10e, and have unfortunatelly no root yet,but later i will have)
-then i have to install cwm and take the nova rom and wipe 1.3 to my sd card and boot into recovery

- than i have to wipe all (should i do a backup?)
- delete all user data
- install the nova rom and reboot or?


there is nothing with s-on or o-ff or? it's onlyon htc or?

Stange Problem

Hello Friends,

Today i installed Nova 3.1 on my Black, everything seems to working fine.

But encountered a strange problem, i cant install Clockworkmod on m device.

The USB Debunging MOD Bug is not appearing on my Bar, but when i checked ion the settings it is clicked.

So i cant backup my Rom by "Rom Manager App" it always says to install a Recovery.

And gives me some models number, but Black is not there so i choose the Optimus 2X.

after that my fon stuck on the LG Logo, no matter how many times i restart it.

After this i recover it using the LG Software, and after it it wont gives me permission to instal the apps, so i factory reset the phone.

Now i m able to install the apps:) but it wont let me boot into the recovery mod and stuck on the LG LOGO on Boot.

Now when i update the software or reinstall the OS (with KDZ updater), nothing is erased, all the software are there and settings remained.

I tried to update the Firmware to V11B_00.kdz (Bouygues Telecom) -- but strange it installed the latest OS but all the apps and settings are still there.

Now i need to install the Nova again on my black, but i cant do it bcoz my phone is not going in recovery mood.

Guyz Pls help me :(

You made almost all you must not do...

But luckily you have an easy way now. Just root with Gingerbreak and then use the package on this post to install recovery, then Anreboot to reboot in recovery and wipe, then flash.

DO NOT use ROM MANAGER for anything.

Noejn removed usb debugging icon because it's enabled by default and he said "icons are for *******" hahaha. Usb debugging works, but without icon in notification bar.

Hahaaha come on, *******? Usb debugging on and off could cause a problem. perhaps thiis was a software prob. Happened on my galaxy ace (2.2.3), if usb debug option ticked, the phone won't let you enable usb mass storage and no option on notification drop down.

I know this don't occur on P970.

Hey all,

Help here, please.

I plugged the phone with USB debbuging ON, opened the install_recovery.bat file and then a DOS window appeared showing:


C:\Users\User\Documents\CWM_Install\CWM_Install>adb.exe wait-for-device

And it stays there. No prompt for root acces whatsoever.

Tried with mass storage on and then off... same result...

Any directions here are most appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

edit: Yes, my phone is rooted

\Have You installed phone drivers on Your Windows computer ?

It says errors in Android Platform Sooner Single ADB Interface. The rest of the options like "LGE Android USB Device" say Ready to Use


UPDATE: Tried in another laptop and installed successfully. Thanks

I agree with u, it's pointless.
It happened the same to me, i installed nova rom, by flashing it trough nova recovery. Before of that i did a backup (in recovery) just in case. Then i saw that i dont like nova rom, so i tried to restore the backup of stock rom from the recovery... the procedure went well, but after reboot i was stucked on the black screen for 30 mins, so i plugged to pc, runned the lg software updater and did an emergency recovery. i unbricked it finally!
btw i dont understand why "restore" option in the recovery didnt work well at all, i did a wipe data before flashing the backup... waht i did wrong?

Flash v10a, root with gingerbreak, install cwm, reboot in cwm recovery, restore...
Beware!!! Nova uses ext4 and stock firmware uses ext3.
That's all.
Cheers.
