[viceless]

confused...

Does this Root, install ClockworkMod, remove Bloatware, or All of the above?

and does it matter if i'm already rooted?

 

[markolo25]

It does all of the above, if you're already rooted thats great, you can just use the bloatware eradication option.

Bootloop fix relating to issues regarding factory now included

 

[armirol]

Not working for me?

I have already rooted the phone, installed Rom manager but not CWM and didn't remove any bloatware, so i tried option 2 (not working) then option 3 (result below). I tried Rom manager but no CWM installed. What should i do?

Thx

Trust me its there, try accessing it through adb, or quickboot

adb? quickboot?... ok, i'm a bit confused here. I was used to press the hardware button on my former ascend. This is not working the same?

Should i remove Rom manager then?

Thx.

 

[markolo25]

yea, use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot&hl=en

and for right now there's even no need to have cwm other than backups, since there's no kernel released

 

[armirol]

Ok, i removed Rom manager and installed quickboot. Yup, i'd like to have CWM for a full backup that's all.

Reboot - reboot phone normally
Recovery - black screen, phone stuck for 5mn....i had to remove the battery
Bootloader - reboot phone normally

Anything else i should try?

Thx

 

[markolo25]

Run the script again and do a 3

 

[armirol]

Run the script again and do a 3

I just figured out i have a zv8. I'm trying to find how to upgrade to zv9 first before trying again. Might that be the issue here?


Update: I tried again option 3 even if i didn't find how to update to zv9... it worked! Now i can do a full backup then remove all bloatwares. Thank you so much for everything


Update2: i can't perform a full backup using CWM... it just gets stuck in the middle.

 

[markolo25]

armirol, you should stop by the irc, k0nane might want to talk to you about that zv8 since we're trying to downgrade recently

 

[armirol]

armirol, you should stop by the irc, k0nane might want to talk to you about that zv8 since we're trying to downgrade recently

I left him a message.

Finally i cleared the dalvik cache and then i could perform a full backup, it wouldn't finish normally before. I'm going to remove most of the bloatware now, there are a couple i might keep

 

[datahead]

Well. I ran your batch script, selected the option to remove root and restore stock recovery. And now I'm bricked ( constantly turns off at the first lg logo ). I do have access to to the the stock recovery ( vol- & power ) but factory reset does nothing, still bricked. I have tried download mode. It detects my phone and everything else, and when I go to recovery it gets half way through verifying my phone, But when the lg updater tool runs through, it says my phone is available for updates ( or something along those lines )

 

[markolo25]

please clarify on brick, do you get boot looped into cwm or the phone won't turn on

 

[ronhouse]

Markolo25
what happen to REV1.6? I see you change it back to 1.5

 

[markolo25]

rev 1.6's new features didn't work as intended. it seemed like I package the wrong stockrecovery with it as it would keep the phone in a black screen bootloop

 

[datahead]

Yeah, I got the blackscreen bootloop ( but you already knew that lol) but thanks to you, shabby, and k0nane in IRC, I got it operating all back to normal! thank you guys again for your help

 

[stiff106]

is their any complaints about REV1.5 ROOT and CWM?

 

[markolo25]

nope
