Hi everyone,
I tried using a script which automated the install for the the custom recovery, but I started to get messages that it ran out of disk space (I can't link to the file due to my noob status). I probably should have come here first before using that script, but such as life..
I have no important data on the phone, if I lose it all that's ok.
It rebooted and my p500 waits with the following
"Fastboot mode started"
"udc_start()"
It also gives some info when USB is connected ie.
"- suspend -"
"- reset -"
Do I have a paperweight?
thanks and sorry for the newb post ..
edit: so I found this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003790 and

I got the phone working again - thanks! I guess it's not a great idea to install the custom recovery
with low disk space?

Hmmm. Well, should not matter? /recovery uses a separate partition. Perhaps you flashed a corrupt (incomplete) image?
well if u ever wish to install recovery just download rom manger from market (latest) and install recovery from rom manger option make sure u hav eusb debugging enabled. it works easy

Erm... reading all the posts about fastboot after using ROM Manager for this, I guess I would rather stick with the custom script using flash_image.

hmm, I'm not sure (when I dl'd the file I did compare the hash as per instructions). I used the following instructions:
manast.com/2011/05/07/how-to-install-custom-recovery-on-lg-optimus-one-p500
I then went into a terminal emulator, and ran "sh /sdcard/rf.sh". At that point the output of the script started to say "disk full" (and then it reboot into the fastboot prompt).

No idea about that script. Using flash_image and never had any issue with "disk full", frankly the message does not make sense. All you need is to copy the recovery image to SD and run as root:
Code:
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Done.

I'm getting permission denied when trying to use flash_image. Gingerbreak says the device is rooted, and the terminal does ask for superuser permission when i open it (su works in the terminal). I also tried chmod 755 flash_image but that didn't work either.
the permissions for flash_image are r-xr-x any thoughts ?
edit: apparently the sdcard is mounted with -noexecute ? So I tried copying flash_image to / but it's read only. Is there somewhere where I can execute this?
This rf.sh script seems most notorious, I too went into fastboot after that. Doktornotor's method worked (in fact I think he/she was the one who bailed me out back then as well).
If you got into fastboot, most probably you have a rooted phone.
To use flash_image you need to get the flash_image.sh on the root of your sd card. Search the forum for Amon-Ra custom recovery, and you shall find this file in that thread (it is required for Amon ra setup). Log in to your adb console, and use fastboot to push the new image in the recovery partition.
Unless your recovery.img or flash_image.sh is corrupted, it will work for sure.
Keep in mind, fastboot is a very powerfull tool, if you can access it, you're safe.
Cheers,
Alex
did you get out??
just flash stock firmware with kdz worked for me bro
Buddy,
You do not need to flash anything with KDZ. The ROM is fine nothing happened to it. All your issue is with the recovery being flashed wrongly for some reason.
I had the same issue just yesterday and I managed to flash the recovery through fastboot.
What you need to do is:
1. Install android SDK from Google.
2. Connect the phone while it is on fastboot.
3. If your windows does not find the fastboot drivers online, use the drivers in this link:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=39ZR16W1
4. extract the .zip file that you copied to your SD. The one that contains the recovery.
5. Copy the recover.img (or whatever the name of the .img file in the .zip file) to the folder inside the android sdk where fastboot.exe is located (I think its the tools folder)
6. Copy the adbwinapi.dll file from the android SDK\platform-tools\ to the folder containing fastboot.
7. issue the command (and replace recovery.img with the .img file name you have):
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot

I appreciate the information. When I'm in adb, su won't allow me to gain root access on the phone. The phone itself is rooted using gingerbreak though.

I flashed pudding on my 1.83 ATT atrix. This worked fine, and I am trying to get CWM for unlocked bootloaders now. I am following the instructions directly from the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541
Problem is, after extracting the zip to C: and running "fastboot flash recovery C:\(image name).img", I get "fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command..."
This leads me to believe that I don't have adb set up properly. I have standard adb set up for pushing apk's, but am I missing something specific for fastboot?
All i have under android-sdk-windows>platform-tools is adb.exe adbwinapi.dll and adbwinusbapi.dll. I DO have USB debugging on lol.
I seem to remember having more stuff under platform tools at an earlier date. All the threads for setting up adb are LONG buried, and after exhaustive searching, I finally gave up and decided to post (at least not in dev ). Even turning to google for adb help, I only get a bunch of the ad-farming tip websites that are outdated.
Please help me out guys. I can usually help myself after enough research, but I admit defeat on this one :/
Thanks much,

If your on linux it's "./moto-fastboot" not just fastboot.
Windows 7 64 bit. sorry, should have specified.
Nobody with win 7 knowledge/advice?
Alrighty, let us see here...
Try this.
1: Create a folder named fastboot (or whatever you prefer, just something simple like that) on the root of your C drive.
2: Download this file, http://www.mediafire.com/?yl17mz8l7w9h687
3: Unzip contents of said file into the folder you created in step 1
4: Click on Start, type cmd into the bar at the bottom and hit enter
5: Type cd C:\fastboot (or whatever you named the folder in step one)
6: Type moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.img
That should work. The recovery included in the flash is current AS OF THIS POST. Obviously, the instructions will change if you download a newer copy of CWM as they are released, since the filename of the recovery file will change.
If you are wondering why it is moto-fastboot, the fastboot I included is the modified one that allows for larger img flashing. Not particularly useful anymore, with CWM working well now and all... but hey.

OK so I put the BAMF Cubed Kernel on my phone and now I can't flash other kernels.
Many of us are having this problem, and I am having trouble installing new kernels when I try new ROMs.
Would someone please tell me step by step how to do this?
My understanding is that the boot.img file should be placed in the same folder on my PC as adb.exe, Fastboot, etc...
Is this correct? If so, what is the command line I should use to push the kernel to the phone?
Example: I want to try the new RezROM ICS from lllboredlll.
I downloaded the ROM, and have the zip on my phone's SD card. I also have it on my PC.
When I open it, I see a folder called Kernel. In that folder, there is a boot image. Also in that folder is a PH98IMG file containing a second boot image.
Which one is the correct kernel file to push via PC?
The way I understand it and have been doing it. Open up the zipped rom and you will see a boot image , extract or copy it to the folder that you have fastboot in . Then in Hboot..pull up a CMD box.. and either change location or if you have abd in your path.. the instructions are fastboot flash boot boot.img
then that should flash the kernel .. then boot to recovery ..wipe data/factory reset and then flash the rom .

Boot the phone into fastboot. Plug in the USB cable, open a CMD window on your computer. Set the current directory to the folder with adb.exe, fastboot.exe, and your new boot.img file.
enter the command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
How come no one sets up their path to include the android-SDK folder with adv, fastboot...etc? I did and makes life so much easier since you never have to cd to anything to run those commands.

I never noticed that CWM was different for 1.2 and 1.1. I currently have 1.2 and tired to install CWM which was the wrong one.
When I try to enter recovery, I get a message of " booting recovery kernel image"
I can turn it off and enter into the stock rom no problem.
Any help would be great to how I can undo this and install CWM.
Used the link for CWM from step 1 from this LINK
Thanks very much.

Here is a link to a .zip I built for you. You will need to have root access for this.
fix-recovery.zip
Download this to your Gtablet and unzip it to /sdcard. Iif you can't make that work, download to your PC and unzip, then transfer the files over to /sdcard. Using a root file manager (I like ES File Explorer), move the file 'flash_image' into /system/bin, overwrite or rename the existing version if there is one, and change the permissions to make it executable (match the other executable files in the /system/bin folder). Then move the file 'cwm5502.img' into /system/etc/recovery (you might have to create the 'recovery' folder). Next, go back to /sdcard and change permissions on 'fixrecovery.sh' to make it executable as well.
Now open Terminal Emulator (install from the Play store or by other means if you don't already have it) and enter the following commands:
Code:
su
sh /mnt/sdcard/fixrecovery.sh
If the second command won't run, bypass the script by running this instead:
Code:
su
/system/bin/flash_image recovery /system/etc/recovery/cwm5502.img
That will install a version of CWM that is compatible with the 1.2 boot loader. Reboot and you should be able to enter the new recovery. Post back if you cannot get this to work for you, and we can try another way. This would be easier if you have ADB installed and working, but I assume most people do not.

Since you have the stock VS ROM, you'll have to use nvflash. See this thread.

Good try, but, there's no su on stock ROM; and the process to get one correctly installed is slightly involved.

Ok thanks, but I can not find the drivers for APX Mode, using Windows vista 32 bit?
Also just to make sure what Files would I need to use. Just want to make sure exactly what to do, and get it right.
Download the TeamDRH_350M_Prep.zip file from this post. It should have both the nVidia APX drivers and CWM-5.5.0.4 for a 1.2 bootloader (in part9.img).
Read the README file for the APX driver installation, but, don't run the NVFlash_gTablet.bat batch file. Instead, just write a new CWM using the commands in the link in my previous post.
EDIT: Note that you cannot install or upgrade the stock VS ROM using CWM. That can only be done using the stock recovery. For everything else, however, you can use CWM.
Feel like a total N00b :crying:
I have the drivers installed for AXB. I have downloads the zip folder with the img files and drivers etc. I renamed this folder to NVFlash for short.
Do I leave this folder on my laptop or put in on the tablet.
Could you please explain a bit more how to use the command window. I open it but cant seem to get it to work.
I have the folder I download unzipped and saved as C:\NVFlash
Not sure how to do step 2
2. Run this command to determine the partition no. of the recovery (SOS) partition--usually, it is 9: Open a CMD.exe window, then change into the directory containing both the nvflash.exe and the bootloader.bin files. Then run:
You have been very helpful thanks again.

It's meant to be used on an x86 system (desktop, laptop, ...) running Windows or Linux. You can't run .dll and .exe files--Intel binaries--on an ARM tablet, right?

Change to the directory containing the nvflash executable and bootloader.bin like this (only type in the stuff in bold):
Code:
[I]C:\SOME\PATH[/I]> [B]cd c:\NVFlash[/B] [I]Change to NVFlash directory[/I]
C:\NVFlash> [I] Note the changed prompt[/I] [I]now[/I]
After that, substitute C:\NVFlash\part9.img instead of C:\SOME\PATH\recovery.img in the given command line.
I understand I cant run the files on the tablet, just meant do I need to transfer any files to the tablet during the process or is it all done through the command window.
I have attached the command window. I typed cd c:\NVFlash and the directory changed to NVFlash.
Not sure how I substitute img 9 then?
EDIT* I got the p.txt file. How would I read this file?
Just looking to get CWM running so I can update to a new custom rom.

In that case, shut off the tablet; put it back into APX mode using Power and Vol [-]; then double-click the NVFlash_gTablet.bat batch file. It will do all the prep steps (including installing CWM) needed for a Jellybean ROM install. After the tablet boots into CWM, transfer the ROM install zip file onto the tablet and follow the instructions given in the ROM's first post to install the ROM.

If I connect my phone to the laptop and look at a specific 'backup date' that's saved, on my phone, there is 6 or 7 files within the folder.
If I then copy the backup to the HDD on my laptop and open it there's only 2 files in the folder.
Why ?
Does that mean that if, for whatever reason, I lost my backups on the phone and then copied them from my laptop to my phone, they wouldn't work as a 'restore' because there's 'files missing' ?
Thanks

I am not really aware of thud issue, first off please post the name of the recovery you are using, since nandroid backups differ.
It might be probable that there is an issue while using the usb.
I would suggest following this step.
Download Airdroid (its a way that you can copy files or download files from your phone to your computer and vice versa over the WiFi )
Go to your backup folder , write click on your backup folder and select "download as zip" . Once downloaded try to open the zip file and count the number of files.
Good luck

Concerning the number of files in the TWRP nandroid backups, it differs from one ROM to the other. For me I have about 7 in stock, 8 in CM and 9 with android hd revolution.
If you want to know whether your copying is a success, compare the folder size. Use ES file explorer or any other to total size, then on your computer do the same and compare. But I think its an issue with your USB hubs or the phone itself . Airdroid fixed it to me as I am having laggy usb hubs and so forth and so on, so it saves time.

What's the best way, or only way, to get it onto the phone, does it just wright over the top of the version I currently have ?
Thanks
Also...... after putting latest TWRP on phone, will the backups I made with older version disappear ?
Cheers

U can flash it on top of the old version....
and just clear the cache from the fastboot (just incase)
ur backup ll all be there it simply wouldn't disappear.......
Flash it with "fastboot commands" or put on sd and "install" through TWRP ?
Cheers

Downloaded TWRP, put in 'fastboot' folder, connected phone, phone recognised, used command 'adb reboot bootloader', phone rebooted and showing 'fastboot usb', BUT
when I type the command 'fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-enrc2b.img' I get a message saying '`fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command'
?????

Updated TWRP last night and copied backups to laptop this morning using USB cable AND Airdroid.
Same results, files missing. They're on my phone, in case of restore, but can't get them ALL onto laptop.
Tried to copy them onto Ubuntu, it's a dual boot laptop, but that only copies an empty folder ?
Also tried copying from phone direct to USB stick, no joy.
CONFUSED.

Still trying.....
Been trying through, various, wifi transfer apps. Nada !
Also tried copying the files one at a time through USB, the ones that will not copy are 'data.ext3.win' and 'system.ext4.win'.
Even when 'right clicking, to copy, I've tried copying to folders and straight to desktop, they just will not copy. I DON'T get any message re. unable to copy, absolutely nothing happens.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks

also, after upgrading TWRP, did you try to copy your old backups or did you created new one?
