Many Thanx!!!
Man many thanx, im realy need you help, my email: djysab@gmail.comBetter layout and get more control of ur phone. If u need help. In installing a new rom I can help u.
"Better layout and get more control of ur phone", you mean new Rom it is absolutely new system? Or its just upgrade old system? Ok man I'm ready for you instructions!
Thanx man, ok i need downloads file from link file.img, this is it? Am i understand right? And copy on my new sd card (quickly question bro, how format my sd card, i have mac osx), right?A new rom is a mostly new system. the CM7 roms are based off android 2.3.5.
Your already on 2.2.1 so you will just need to run gingerbreak to root.
Then I would suggest signing up at XDA developers and searching there for FlashImageGUI, open said program, set to flash recovery and use this file as your recovery:recovery-RA-optm-2.2.1-GNM.img
Once you get to this point power off the phone and hold home, voldn, and power until it boots into recovery. From here choose backup, make a complete backup with no ext, then save your ENTIRE SD card to PC before continuing.
This can be done by toggling USB MS in recovery.
Next you will want to partition your sd card, find the menu in recovery, choose 0mb for swap and 512 for ext, once this is finished, find the option and convert ext2 to ext3.
Now you can move your SD card backup back to the phone from the PC.
At this point you have a rooted stock phone with a custom recovery installed and a backup of everything.
All thats left is choosing a rom and booting to recovery and installing.
Optionally you could install titanium backup also and back your apps up, but I would recommend not doing that until you are running a CM7 rom. It can lead to problem if you restore the wrong stuff from a stock to a custom rom.

Sorry man, do you have link for FlashImageGUI, please...i need
Here is flashimagegui, you just rename the zip file apk and install it like any other app:
[APP] Flash Image GUI - xda-developers
As for your other ques. You needed to DL that .img file then put it on root of sd card, then open flashimage select flash recovery, and browse to the .img file and choose it.
Thanx man, i got it, put .img to sd card, open flash image, making recovery image and push flash image and....but nothing, no results, may be mistaken?
And my next step?
If it finished with no errors it should be good.
Power down the phone, then press and hold home, voldn, and power until recovery menu pops up.
Once in recovery you can make a backup of your system and then back your sd card up to pc.
Ok system: Fastboot mode started
udc_start()
Next step, bro, please
How long waiting, or need push button? Please help
How make emergency mode, because phone was freeze on LG and this is it, how return in factory mode, i m remove battery, how long waitingThat shouldn't have sent you to fastboot. The recovery must not have written. Pull the battery and reboot and try again to flash the recovery with FlashImageGUI.
