Just use the option to root a stock rom (option 3). This installs CWM with NVFlash.

OK then.
Since you copied the ICS-cwm-6.0.1.5.img in /data/local
open a terminal in your phone and type these commands
su
dd if=/data/local/ICS-cwm-6.0.1.5.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8
Edit: Just tried it on my phone and works perfectly'

ok, i did that. it promped for su rights, i tapped ok, then i pasted your command and everything went ok i suppose.
I opened rom manager, selected reboot into recovery, and nothing happened. the phone just rebooted into ics.
ROM Manager doesn't work correctly in ICS.
Open terminal and type
Reboot recovery
OR
Power off and press Vol- & Power button, keep pressed both until it entters recovery
Since it booted before to ICS, NO I don't think you have to reinstall ROM.
Just power off, remove battery for 15-20 sec, put it back and let it boot normally.
Let me know
BTW, Did you root the ROM with this utility or did you flash an already rooted one?

Συγνώμη φίλε αν δεν πήγε οπως έπρεπε.
Sorry friend if it didn't go as it should.
I really want to find out what went wrong and fix it if it's the toolkit's fault. But permission denied shows that you don't have required permissions either in your PC or phone.
I'd like to know if you rooted this ROM with this tool or you flashed an already rooted one and which one. I have tested the tool with Stock one and Topo's.
I will try the one you flashed also.
You have asked me again, and maybe as I replied to you in 10th post I maybe add multiple sizes to choose. but till then why don't you just edit the partions.cfg file as I told you how.
This one only installs a rooted ROM. It keeps the stock bootloader, so there is no chance to boot in recovery and maybe that's why you had the bootloops.
My rooting method is to flash the new UN-locked bootloader with the recovery you choose and then install Superuser via cwm.
I reinstalled the rom using smartflash. Then rooted with your tool, cwm was installed perfectly, then I installed SU313-BIN311_4ICS.zip
everything went perfect

Good!! I am now relieved, because I felt a little bit responsible for this.
Τέλος καλό όλα καλά
Hi Spyrosk.
I'm sorry for the questions, but after seaching through all these threads, i think your tool is what i need.
So, right now i'm thinking to upgrade my phone to ICS officially, therefore it will be unrooted and with lockedbootloader.
What are the chronological steps/options i need to do, to get ROOT and unlocked Bootloader, when using Official 4.0.4 ICS?
Do i need to download anything else previously before using the Tool?
If eventually, CM10 nightlies are put online again, using the old bootloader (i'm almost certain it will), what steps/actions i need to do using your Tool to revert to old bootloader.
Sorry again....

298All-In-One Toolkit
It is an easy to use tool (especially for noobs) with On-Screen instructions step-by-step to do what the following main menu screen says .. Read detailed information below.
!!! Open to suggestions and ideas !!!
This toolkit runs under Windows. Installation Instructions:
Download the package from these links: Mirror1 Mirror2
Run the downloaded package and select a folder to extract the files (your user account must have write permissions in this folder). You can now extract it over a previous version because any un-needed previous files will be removed automatically.
SU660 Users: Download Both P990 & SU660-AddOn packages. Run & extract the P990 first and then extract in the same folder the SU660-AddOn. AIO-Toolkit will be converted to support SU660 device.
Short & useful description for these options
1 - Backup/Restore Options.
A) Backup/Restore your internal SD Card (via USB Mass-Storage) which is taken with 7z open source tool. Auto-Detects the SD-card’s drive letter (by searching for external_sd or _ExteralSD folder). It just makes a compressed file (7z) of all the files in SD-card as backup action, and extracts this file in SD-card as restore action.2 - Change your Recovery Image.
B) Backup/Restore ROM and/or Data partition with nvflash. Backup saves images under Bachup\OldLayout or Backup\NewLayout folder. Restore checks the sizes of current partitions and the backed up images and aborts restore if a partition is smaller than its image or warns if larger. It is needed because anyone now can resize the partitions easily with option 9. Note!! Smaller images can be restored to larger partitions but the final usable size will be the image’s one.
Easily change the recovery. It supports two methods: via ADB or NVFlash. It detects the current partition layout and lists the suitable recovery images available for you to choose.3 - Root a Stock ROM (with NVFlash method).
A) Change Recovery via ADB (rooted devices only). It is done with adb tool and dd command.
This works on both normal operation and recovery mode.
On normal operation the device must be rooted and USB debugging must be enabled.
Note: LG Driver package (or at least ADB drivers) must be installed at your PC for these to work.
B) Change Recovery with NVFlash. The recovery is flashed by NVFlash tool.
All latest available recovery images are located in ToolKitFiles\P990-imgs folder to be used by toolkit in any option needed. (or ToolKitFiles\SU660-imgs if SU660-AddOn package is installed).
1) The latest versions of cwm v5, v6 and twrp v2.6, for old BooLoader based ROMS prefixed as oldbl-
2) The modified cwm ones v5, v6 and twrp v2.6 for new BooLoader based ROMS prefixed as newbl-
Any procedure in toolkit, if needed, automatically detects the current partition layout, old or new and lists the suitable recoveries from imgs folder for you to choose.
Tip: You can add/remove/modify the recovery images yourself by copying/deleting/renaming them, in ToolKitFiles\<device>-imgs folder and just prefixing them as oldbl- or newbl- The toolkit will include them automatically.
Roots a stock ROM with the method of NVFlashing a recovery of your choice and then installing SuperUser or SuperSU within recovery mode. This method always worked when other tools failed.4 - Repartition your device with preferred layout and bootloader:
ATTENTION!! This operation totally wipes your device's internal memory including internal SD-Card. Make sure you have a backup of your critical files, contacts, sms, etc.5 - Extract LG KDZ and/or AP.bin file.
It wipes internal memory, recreates partitions, and flashes the right bootloader and recovery image of your choice. You'll be able to boot in recovery mode only to install a new ROM or restore a previous nandroid-backup. It can be used for:
- Quick switching to different partition layouts and bootloaders
- Repairing a bricked device
- Stock [512MB System, 1536MB Data]
- Double-Sized System [1024MB System, 2048MB Data] DualBoot Ready
- Your own custom one (if you created one with option 9).
a) Fix internal SD-Card automatically, because it is un-mountable after repartitioning.
b) Enable Dual-Boot (only if a DualBoot Ready partition table is selected).
For controling/maintaining Dual-Boot please refer to the DualBoot-Manual.pdf.
Note: LG Driver package (or at least ADB drivers) must be installed at your PC for these to work.
Safety keys: If any of the “SD-Card fix” or “Enable Dual-Boot” step fails go to ToolkitFiles\tools folder and run the IntSD-MountFix.cmd or DualBoot-Enable.cmd accordingly.
Attention: Both scripts are designed to run as standalone scripts also. The IntSD-MountFix.cmd is harmless but DualBoot-Enable.cmd always leaves system switched to ROM1 at the end, so use it ONLY if needed and ONLY on full-wiped data & boot partition e.g. after repartitioning.
Use this to extract a downloaded kdz file to get the baseband (fls file) and/or the ROM (bin file) to flash with SmartFlash.6 - LG Update Tool (Off-Line mode) to flash any KDZ ROM file.
Additionally you may need to extract the bin file to separate the included partition images like chefs need to cook their new ROM.
It helps you flash any KDZ file, since the LG Update Tool does not allow a flash if the device is not in the current version LG expects. So we make our PC to serve LG update tool locally (offline).7 - SmartFlash a Stock ROM and/or BaseBand.
The script automatically:
- Adds 127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com entry (temporarily) in hosts file,
- Sets the mini mongoose web server on the PC listening to port 9002 which serves the requests of the LG flash utility and run from wherever this package is extracted),
- Installs MSXML needed for the tools to run
- Runs all the utilities automatically for you (you only have to set to ON the windows enabler)
- Opens in your web browser the instructions to follow and flash the ROM.
- Finally it reverts back your hosts file, after closing the utility (R&D Test Tool), removing the above entry and stops http server and windows enabler.
It flashes a full Stock ROM (bin file) AND/OR Baseband (fls file) as I mention before in option 5.8 - Replace Stock (locked) ICS BootLoader with the New un-locked one.
For BaseBands information and downloads visit the detailed and helpful Complete Baseband overview thread by tonyp.
For official Stock ROMs (KDZ files) visit this site
ONLY for devices already partitioned to ICS layout.9 - Create your own custom-sized partition table to flash with option 4.
It detects the current partition layout and does not proceed if OLD layout found.
Needed for those who:
- Installed Stock ICS with SmartFlash or LGUpdate
- Flashed a ready-rooted system.img only and trying to flash a recovery image after
- Have a P990 device but are still on the bootloader logoed with a white padlock, which does not enter SmartFlash mode.
It launches the Partitions Customizer GUI tool I created (see attached picture), to help you easily create your own custom-sized partition table to flash with option 4.A – Get useful logs.
Attention!! DO NOT use it if you don’t know what and why you are doing it.
This option gets 4 different useful logs (Normal Logcat, Radio Logcat, Kernel and Last_kmsg) as very nicely described in this useful TonyP’s thread. All four commands are integrated in AIO-Toolkit for quick use without having to remember the commands. Thanks to TonyP.I - Install APX (NVFlash Recovery) Drivers if not already installed.
It starts the windows device driver wizard to help you install the drivers needed for NVFlash. It detects your system OS and gives additional on-screen instructions needed if your PC is running Windows 8.
FYI: The drivers are located under ToolKitFiles\nvflash\driver folder.
Change Log
V6.0: Date 10 November 2013:
- Evolved DualBoot-Control.zip v6.0:
- It now supports two different sized system parts for ROM1 & ROM2 (not only two half) depending on total system size. You can also have a standard 512MB for one ROM and the rest for the other.
- One zip for both P990 & SU660 devices (no more different zips for the two devices)
- An option is added to re-join the previously split /system partition after enabling DualBoot.
- Some bug fixes
- New icons and short descriptions for each option added.
- DualBoot-Enable.cmd (under ToolKitFiles\tools) is also updated to support different sized system parts too. This is called by Option 4 after repartitioning to enable Dual-Boot, when a DualBoot Ready layout is selected.
- Small HTTP server (http.exe) which was used by option 6 for off-line LG update, has been substituted by mini web server mongoose, cause http.exe was considered infected by most Anti-Virus SW.
- Prefixes ICS- and GB- of files and recovery images changed to newbl- and oldbl- accordingly, as these are commonly used at all XDA threads to declare the bootloader and partition layout. (SU660-AddOn package also updated to v6.0 with prefix changes).
- New Update mechanism: When extracting toolkit-package into existing toolkit-folder, any previous manually added recovery image(s) will be kept and properly prefixed automatically (SU660 recoveries too). Recovery images are now reside under new folder named ToolKitFiles\<device>-imgs where <device> is P990 (or SU660 if SU660-AddOn package is installed).
- You can now add more than 9 recovery images per layout. No more limits of nine (9) recovery images per layout. (That’s only because I don’t like limits, not because more than 9 recoveries exist )
- TWRP Recovery images updated with TonyP’s latest v2.6.0.0 versions. Thanks TonyP
- SuperSU install zip updated to latest version 1.65 (SU\SuperSU-v1.65.zip)
- Some warning msgs added about adb drivers when they are gonna be needed.
- Of course updated manuals to reflect new changes.
- A HowTo.. Steps Guide (pdf) is included, to help (mostly new) users.

General Info: How to install unsigned drivers in Windows 8.
For APX Drivers needed for NVFlash operations, use Option I.
For any other unsigned drivers needed, this is the way to install them:
24!! New Version 4.0 uploaded !!
This update covers/fixes all the reported issues here in XDA threads and a Greek forum also.
Changes:
- Includes the fix for the options 1 & 5 not starting under certain circumstances. (which was included in v3.6 add-on)
- Off-Line LG-Update Instructions now converted to html and will be opened on your default browser. (NO doc file, NO need to be associated to some application like office to open). It also has an info page of its own too.
- More checking and error handling. Now checks (where possible) prerequisites and errors and gives possible reasons and solutions. It is important at least to prevent showing that an operation finished successfully while it didn't. I had to use other mechanisms to do that since some tools don’t return error codes.
- KDZ extractor will stop if file is corrupted
- BIN extractor will also check if images extracted successfully.
- Off-Line LG Update will check if http.exe is not blocked by AV S/W and if the hosts file is modified successfully.
- NVFlash Restore checks the sizes of current partitions and the backed up images and aborts restore if a partition is smaller than its image or warns if larger. It is needed because anyone now can resize the partitions easily with option 9. Note!! Smaller images can be restored to larger partitions but the final usable size will be the image’s one.
- Completed instructions for flashing a recovery image via ADB successfully on CM10 ROMs too.
- Minor changes in displayed messages.
If you can think of one please let me know.
Enjoy !!19!! New Version 3.0 is now available to you !!
V3.0: Date 23 Dec 2012
- A new tool “PartitionCustomizer.exe”added with option 9 to help you easily create a re-sized partition table to flash with option 4.
- Windows 8 users won’t be asked anymore to install MS .Net Framework 3.5.
- Toolkit now checks your windows version and uses system’s choice.exe in Vista,Win7& Win8. In WinXP systems it will use the alternate Choice.exe (under ToolKitFiles\tools, renamed to Choice4XP.exe.
- CMxx_IntSD-Mount-Fix_AfterRepartitioning.zip added in CWM folder. Install this in recovery mode after repartitioning and installing a CMxx based ROM.
- Install-APX-Drivers.cmd script is added in ToolKitFiles\nvflash\driver. It installs APX drivers without having to plug the phone first (in nvflash mode pressing vol- & vol+)
- All instructions and help of OP now Included in pack as a pdf document for quick help. I will keep working on it to make it a full manual and guide.
Enjoy19New Surprise is coming this weekend !!
I made a small gui application to resize partitions as you want. It makes all calculations automatically (from bytes to MB and vice versa) and also updates sd-card (UDB) partition automatically. Just enter the new sizes you want.
It is fully customizable for any device that can use nvflash (easy by modifying its config file).
Take a preview of the photo attached.
And of course it will be added in AIO toolkit as a new option too.
I just tested the APX drivers install script, I made, in XP & Win7 and now I am installing Windows 8 to try make an easier way to install APX drivers.
Stay Tuned !!17New version 5.0 is uploaded !!
Change log:
- Toolkit is now modular: It can support theoretically more LG devices with AddOn packages. An AddOn package for SU660 is already implemented (too bad it is not tested yet by someone).
- Option: A – Prepare device for Dual-Boot is added to repartition the device for Dual-Boot support. Attention: DualBoot uses a spesific partition table, so if you are on dual-boot you cannot resize partitions because it will mess-up the device.
- Changing recovery via adb now also works when device is into recovery (not only on normal operation) and gives the option to boot into the newly flashed recovery right after.
- In option 8 is now clearly mentioned that it is not needed if option 4 has been used, It is needed only if the device is still on Stock locked bootloader. A lot of people still think that they have to use option 8 every time they change to ICS partition layout. Option 4 had always been flashing the un-locked ICS bootloader when changing to ICS partition.
- After repartitioning the device enters recovery automatically when powered on. No need to keep pressing Vol- & Pwr.
- For OLD BL only the extended (512MB system) partition table is included, to support up-coming new ROMs. If someone wants the stock 350MB he can always make one with PartitionResizer.
- Only one of the latest v5, v6 & twrp v2.4 recovery versions is now included for each bootloader to reduce the package size. It will not remove the existing recoveries if extracted into the same folder. Remember that any other recovery image wanted can be added manually as always. (Thanks to Tonyp for his modified twrp v2.4 for the new bl)
- Fixed: Extracting kdz under WinXP not working. It was due to different behavior of Microsoft expand.exe on WinXP than on Win7,8 (it doesn't accept wildcards as input file).
- Toolkit now checks its write permissions in the folder extracted and gives a warning.
- Updated IntSD-MountFix.zip & System-ReFormat-ext4.zip to work on both P990 and SU660 devices independently of the partition layout and bootloader.
- SuperSU install zip updated to install latest v1.04 version
Enjoy !!
