So I was thinking...

[andyo70]

The Optimus M, S & T are all pretty much or are the same phone aside from the branded crap cell providers put on them. I know they all have the same processor in them.

Say I was to take a custom recovery or OC kernel for the T or S and flashed it to my phone. What would happen? I'm not talking about using a custom rom for the T or S. I know that totally wouldn't work because the apks would be specific to the those phones only but the kernel and recovery just changes hardware fuctions. Am I wrong there?

Discuss.

Guess not? lol

Guess not? lol

I have my doubts but if we are talking about the kernell only, maybe will work.

Wanna try the boot.img I made?

 

[andyo70]

LOL sure why not. I'm already stuck in a recovery.img that's not for this phone. Used custom recovery for Optimus S and now I see it's not gonna work out. I'm about to flash my stock recovery back on it.

Just sent you a pm with my gchat

Alright I just gotta figure out how to get this thing back to normal I'm running into a snag. Trying to figure out how to flash an image file thats on my PC to the phone rather than the one thats on my sdcard on the phone.

 

[andyo70]

Oh wait my phone boots just fine with the recovery from the Optimus S. It's just that when I try to go into recovery I get the custom menu in which the only thing I can do is go down the menu by pushing the volume up button.

Don't know off hand I haven't tried in awhile if ever I always just put it on the sdcard

 

[andyo70]

Fixed it. Somehow got my phone into fastboot mode and was able to flash the stock recovery back to the phone.

 

[andyo70]

Added you on that GTalk thing. And sent an invite.

If you know Linux, you can play with the recovery threw the adb shell terminal...

I can also make a test rom you could flash on the phone with this recovery until I finish one of the recoverys for this phone. Just a thought?

The thing is the only thing I can do with it is navigate down the menu with the volume up button. No other buttons or combos work to choose any of the functions in the menu. Had to flash stock recovery back. Plus there was some error message at the bottom of the optimus-s recovery. Can't recall what it said.

I also don't know if anything every actually gets released i'll be able to utilize it. While it seems i can flash recoveries, i recently tested a custom boot.img which i got bad block errors on. Attempting to restore stock boot did the same thing. Had to completely restore the phone with LGNPST. Perhaps something is wrong with whatever internal device the boot.img is flashed to in my particular phone.

I can write you a script to tell the Optimus S modded recovery to flash the update.zip modified by me from the phone.
Let me know if you want to try it...

Also the boot.img could be corrupted. Maybe try to pull a new boot.img and try it with that one...

Yes and yes to the test rom or whatever you were talking about a few posts up. I would have gotten back sooner but all this screwing around with the phone had my head spinning.
