Couple questions..
Do you have source that you can post?
And what methods did you do to get a ROM set up on this device?

Ok sorry I was sick for a little bit but I do have a source that I can upload and I will upload what I was able to do.

Thanks a lot for your initiative.
Feel great to see new developer for L9. Hoping for the best. Best of Luck.:good:

You could hook up with these guys who are planning a rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136391
Also in the "Original Android Development" sub-forum there are some roms being started.
It may be better if Devs team together and pool resourses.

L9 is at the stage where Group effort is very important. The idea which one can conceive is not necessary other would conceive too. Different persons can solve problems like this (not all) faster than a single person, by sharing ideas and suggesting changes and helping each others in changes and experiments. Goodluck to all.

I give up - Seeking Help

Here is my issue. I have SGH-i777 - Plugged it into Kies - Updated to ICS - Found a Guide (not on here - stupid me) to Root my SGH-i777 on ICS.
It worked, but I noticed the GT-i9100 under the Galaxy S II logo with a yellow triangle at the bottom -however, the phone worked great until I stupidly used ROM Manager - Bricked my phone. I found a guide on here, but again...stupid me...didnt realize I was following a guide for the GT-i9100 resulting me in solving my issue and getting the phone to finally turn back...but only to think it was fully a GT-i9100. The only two keys on the bottom that worked, were my home button and the menu button on the bottom left. Nothing else.
I have searched and searched for this, and found a Post on here that advised me to Download the Odin3 I777 One Click No BL. Once I finally got my phone into download mode (which was a chore in itself) I finally was able to show SGH-i777 in My Kernel Version when I go into About Phone. HOWEVER - I still get the GT-i9100 under the logo during boot, my Auto Play window that pops up on my computer when phone gets plugged in via USB shows GT-i9100 and Kies tells me it can not update the device but at least it registers as SGH-i777
My questions are, how to get rid of whatever it is that shows up GT-i9100...so I guess how to start ALL OVER. And second, is how to properly get ICS or maybe even Jelly Bean - and if there is a root for it. What the proper steps are, so I dont end up in this mess again. Thanks in advance guys!
Triangle away from the appstore works to get rid of the triangle and such. You can also flash most if not all the roms here they are all ics or jb anymore I think

Hey buddy,
Looks like you took the long way haha. Alright, first of all we need to check if you are already rooted. Not sure if the one click no bl for you talk about was rooted or not.
If you determine you are rooted, you should be able to go into the android development forum, and flash any rom (be sure to follow instructions in OP).
If not, post back your android version, kernel info, and we'll go from there.
Ps, triangle away removes the triangle and gti9100 logo from startup, but you must be rooted and on ics (not sure if it works on jb, def no for gingerbread)

TriangleAway only works on ICS.
OP thanks for trying everything yourself first and learning from your mistakes before posting! You have no idea how many people don't put forth the effort you have done already. So as a reward, I'll provide you with nice easy links to get you back up and running again! :highfive:
This guide will help you get back to completely stock, unrooted Gingerbread (as if you just bought the phone). You can skip only the last step of that guide since you're actually keeping your phone. Then you can use this guide to start flashing custom ROMs without getting that triangle thing. I highly recommend reading both guides very thoroughly and multiple times so you understand everything. After doing so, feel free to ask questions about anything you don't understand from your reading and I'll do my best to help you out. And after you fully understand everything you are about to do, here's a list of ROMs, kernels, etc for your choice of flashing (most custom ROMs for this phone versions of ICS).

Haha, thanks. I tend to find pleasure in finding out things for myself. I love messing and tweaking with things. But this has got me stumped. I am used to Apple (if I am allowed to use that word here ) And jailbreaking that was a breeze. This, is way more challenging and entertaining.
so this is all about the warning triangle? and how to get to ICS?
r u serious?
I had to of missed something, but already flashed i777 stock, so yeah
I'm guessing it was the fact that OP's post was written in decent English and explained his problem in fairly well, the steps he took to cause it and what he's done to try to resolve, that it took a whole hour for the regulars to jump in here with the typical bs posts. (and ya, I know this is a bs post also, but damn, it gets old reading these same guys crap)

hello, also a new user here, with a situation similar to OP's
I had a working, rooted ICS by flashing the siyah kernel. Then I ran ROM manager and ruined everything
I used "I777UCKH7 OCD Root No BL" to get back to rooted gingerbread, but it's full of errors "android.process.acore unexpectedly ended"
I don't want to make it worse, which is why I'm asking you guys. Do I need CWM to do a system wipe? Should I reset/wipe my phone first, then flash an ICS ROM? What about kernels - how do I go from UCKH7 to UCLE5 (if that makes sense)?
my end goal is just a rooted ICS

From my understanding you can do a wipe data/factory reset from 3e recovery while on KH7.....I'd search it beforehand. but IIRC.
But if you want stock. flash stock.
we dont need a working system to be able to flash a ROM with Odin or CWM.

LOL...yes. This, and we should also add that if you flash a ROM for the 9100 on your 777 you need to buy all the recognized devs on the 777 forum a beer
To kernelsprite: i don't have an answer for you, but I'm fairly sure that the people who can help you will need some more info. Can you boot your phone? If not, can you get into recovery or download modes? What ROM did you have in place before you used ROM manager? Was it just stock?
Hopefully with this info someone more knowledgeable than me will be able to help.

First time installing a custom ROM, I need some hand holding

Hey folks.
The S4 is my first smartphone. Ever. I rooted it a few weeks ago and have been playing with different tools and utilities. I love the extra control it gives me.
Been using Smartlauncher Pro as my launcher as well, but it doesn't give me the customization I want. I dig the UI though, it's minimalist just the way I like.
I've been keeping my eye out for ROM's I can try out, and I think I want to try Cynogen for the S4. However, I am terrified of destroying my investment. I've read horror stories of flashes gone wrong... I don't want to permanently brick my device.
Is there anyone here who can hold my hand while I install my ROM? I seriously have no idea what I'm doing, instructions or no.
...I sound so pathetic right now.
Thanks folks.

Do you have a custom recovery installed like TWRP or CWM? If you do all you need to do is download the rom (I put them on ext sd)....and gapps if your flashing cyanogen, boot into recovery, make a backup (I put this on my ext sd card too), wipe, flash rom, flash gapps and reboot.

Hi!
The first thing you need to find out is what build number you have. This will tell you if you are able to root and install recovery in order to put a new rom on the phone. Do NOT update your phone by the over the air update that is currently available! To find your build number go to settings: the more tab: about phone, then scroll down. If you have JDQ39.I545VRUAME7 then you are in the same boat as many of us and accidently did the upgrade which at this moment has no way to root. If you haven't done the upgrade than you need to find one of the many threads on here that will walk you through the process.
Hope this helps some, there are others on here that can give you a much more detailed walkthrough of how to root if you are on the correct older build.
The best advice I can give is to read the entire original post (OP) for the ROM you like, and as much of the thread as you can. 9 times out of 10 when someone has a problem with the ROM it's been discussed, and is often listed in the OP. Usually there are step by step instructions on installing the ROM. I believe there's a general ROM flashing guide in this forum somewhere as well.
Good luck and have fun :good:

That's good! You haven't been updated which means you can still flash ROMs. Are you familiar with both types of ROMs, TouchWiz and AOSP? CyanogenMod is an AOSP ROM, which will be completely different from what you're running right now, TouchWiz. You're rooted, but have you installed a custom recovery? You need one to flash ROM's, either TWRP or CWM. You can also make a nandroid backup in recovery, and if anything goes wrong, you can go back to exactly how you are now. Definitely read the OP of the ROM thread multiple times and follow the flashing instructions correctly.

If anything goes wrong with the flash in the next step, go to restore and you'll be back to how you are now.
Did you download the ROM to your phone along with Gapps? For AOSP Roms you need a separate gapps package, which is Google apps.

Oh wells, flash anyway! That's what I do!
Worst case scenario, you have to use Odin to get back to stock. I used to keep a nandroid on my PC for just in case scenarios as well. One time on my GNex I flashed something really bad and had to adb pull everything off my phone, wipe the whole thing, and start over.

Thread cleaned of useless comments.
Thread is also closed - as XDA, even though full of helpful and nice people, is not a direct support site.
Users are expected to do some reading before they post and blatantly ask for hand holding. And, as you have seen, other users have a tendency to not be so nice and make trolling comments because of that.
This is a development site and is about development - so, please, study up first, then post questions based from what you have learned.

Bit more responsive? How fast do you want? I've never had such a fast and responsive phone. I've always been a flash junkie but I don't even feel the need to root not alone install a custom rom. The speed and battery on this phone is simply amazing.

I would suggest you not to root but it's too late anyway.

Get TWRP recovery 2.6.3.3. on it and flash you some CM11
Of course, first make a back up of your current rom so you can always go back to it.But you just got it, I enjoyed the stock rom for a bit before I starting flashing other roms. Then again we didnt have many to flash in the beginning
Houstonn's 4.4.2 PA has been good to me. 12/24 release is very smooth and great battery life.
OP enjoy your new device, go check out the Development section for all the great work....ensure you are in the correct Model forums.

{tried} failed new to lg bootloader (have looked)

hey all, new to lg bootloader unlock, not soo much on other devices, my personal fav. (hero) one of my 1st. anyway, i have read 4 dif ways of unlocking the bootloader, and some i rtied and some i did not (yet) try due to being kindah scared. plz inform me which is the best way and is there something i missed, i have looked around all day and really.... there has to be a better way. (1) chinese method {http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439667 / http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2553547} allthou i have found many links this one explains it the best due to its simplicity, 2 the whacked out method {http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277639} this i wasnt ready to try yet as i work 18 hours a day and i need to get up at 5 tomorow. amen to the working men. 3 + 4 were just stupid sounding so ill avoid them but the 2 main ones were posted by many people in many fasions. #1 i tried says my phone is rooted when checking is root checker, but its not really because a. i cannot run apps which require root and b. how could i be if my bootloader is not unlocked. im tired and drunk from all this after work work.... plz someone point me twords an easier way to do this. and if there isnt any since march 2013 then at least tell me that #2 will work if i do it right. ty
ps. this is not a question but a demand and sorry for the grammer havent been in the us in ages.
First, wrong section. This should be in questions or general section.
Second, there's a chance LG really did lock more recent users out of their bootloaders. Possibly with a OTA update, or just manufactured that way. It's not a process others would hold your hand through, and it's beyond frustrating to even help when also being stuck on a locked bootloader as well
The unlocked users have tried to the best of their ability to explain what the process is, and it's been reposted over and over and over so now it's a whole big mess and it's really confusing. The oldest guides worked best and proved to help out more users.
All I can say at this point is good luck, hope you figure it out because everyone else is just as stuck at this as you are.

First, wrong section. This should be in questions or general section.
Second, there's a chance LG really did lock more recent users out of their bootloaders. Possibly with a OTA update, or just manufactured that way. It's not a process others would hold your hand through, and it's beyond frustrating to even help when also being stuck on a locked bootloader as well

yeh thx a lot, the problem is i have a 2gb internal and even thou the phone can handle gta and games like that i just do not have enough space. cannot put on sd as not rooted. the chinese root worked, then used superuser as main app. but still no go on the sd transfer. maybe the bootloader is the issue. or its just saying im rooted but not really.

If you can install the bootstrap recovery that works on locked bootloaders try using that and flashing kuma's modded stock ROM, I recommend it :good:

If people could look around before asking redundant questions new threads, that'd be absolutely fantastic. Google "LG Optimus L9 bootstrap recovery."
Not that hard.

Alpha testing of CM13 for R1HD

No tests have been done on this rom, I compiled it remotely it may or may not boot, I am unable to test due to my work, I work away from home, no computer and can't risk phone while away from home, I will do my own test once I get home and have complete access to computer.
Again this is untested alpha, all risks are on you, I can't provide and help, make sure you know how to get your phone in and out of bootloops, make sure splash tool is working for your phone, if something goes wrong you may need it to restore your phone.
To all that test this rom good luck, and post back your results, those that choose not to test, not a problem I fully understand, this is not to be taken lightly.

your bootloader will need to be unlocked
you need twrp recovery
Good Luck.

device tree is based on

Device tree/source files pls
Also good job on finally getting this to work! Gonna download soon.
+1 for the device tree please.
Before I flash, was this ROM built off the 6.6 image that locks us out of using SPFT? I don't know if it even works that way but I just figured I'd ask to be safe.

Release the device tree on GitHub.
Do it.

Currently trying it out, will report back later.
Getting a status 7, saying this device was made for "R1_HD" and not "P6601". Gonna remove the updater script line that checks that and flash again.

Doesn't look like it. It's hanging on the logo.

Mine kept getting status 7, even with vampire's TWRP. Leave it booting at the log, let me know if it changes. Sometimes initial boot can take like 10-15 mins.

I'll let it sit for a while, then. I don't think anything will change, though.
Edit: Nope. Back to stock ROM for now, this doesn't boot yet.

Usually thats because of a bad download from my experience , since i used to get that error alot.
Thanks for testing, When I get home, I will test it on my phone, check logcat and see what I can find.
This will probably be my last public testing, The next test ROM I release will be private.
I will post notice here when ready, and those that tested this version and still want to test any future versions will receive a download link via pm.
Thanks to all that tested ROM.

Well, we all have a to start somewhere... An actual "stable" version of CM may never really happen. I'd be happy to try the first build that actually boots up. No matter how buggy it might turn out, just so I can give you feedback and get a general sense of what this phone should feel, look like and behave out of the box.
I really miss the several options and customizations from CM ROMs... But above all, I really miss having a nicely made custom kernel with a good kernel manager app (like EX kernel manager) to set it up exactly the way I like it... I have faith in this device. Particularly because this phone is selling so well. I really hope for an official CM development for the R1 HD. Hopefully even a good custom kernel...! That would be awesome! Maybe then I'd be able to retire my Nexus 5. I have really missed having an external SD card... 64GB vs 32GB makes a huge difference.
I think the problem is in the boot.img, the init.
