Clockwork Recovery 5.5.0.4

[avelis26]

my apologies, seems there are some differences between it and the connect.

compiling a new test version now, REALLY wish i had known this prior to submitting. as it stands you guys might have to use official cwm and then if you wanna use internal storage use the installer


www.shabbypenguin.com/OUDstuff/cayman/cwmrecovery.img

replace the other cwm with this one (in the installer .zip)

Not sure what you mean by "if you wanna use internal storage " ... I followed you're original instructions and everything works great. What I'd really like to work on is combining the internal and external SD cards into one partition.

I see the official Touch Recovery on the CWM ROM Manager site, but it's a .img file instead of the CWM-installable .zip that I was expecting. Does anyone know how to flash this without paying the in-app purchase on ROM Manager?

Sorry that's not possible. That cwm however will allow you to use internal storage to flash

So how do I update CWM if I already have the official CWM installed along with ROM Manager and Quick Boot? I'd really like to be able to use internal storage to backup and restore nandroids.

you can replace the the image in my cwm installer with that one, or use rom manager to flash that image

Hi Shabbypengiun,

I downloaded that new image you posted to my phone, in the /sdcard/download folder. What option in ROM Manager would I use to flash it?

Ok I've installed the new recovery and we are having a MAJOR issue. After install I can reboot into recovery ONCE... after I leave recovery and go back to system, I can never return to recovery... just hangs on the LG screen prior to boot animation no matter what I do.
HELP!!!

 

[avelis26]

Yes, this. How do I do this?

Hey guys... what you do is use the CWM-Installer-Lucid that is in the first post and in the FILES directory, you'll find a file named cwmrecovery.img. Replace THAT file with the new one he created.

BUT I would wait considering I have all ready done this and we are having some issues

 

[avelis26]

Ok a few things I've noticed with the new test version that I would like to help solve if possible:

1) MOUNTS AND STORAGE > MOUNT USB STORAGE : Doesn't work no matter what you do

2) MOUNTS AND STORAGE > FORMAT /sdcard/_ExternalSD : Also doesn't work

3) When mounting SDCARD, both sdcard and _ExternalSD mount and unmount together which is expected but via ADB shell, only have access to internal storage. _ExternalSD shows up inside the sdcard folder but it is empty. If you try to adb push anything to it, it rewrites the fold and names it _ExternalSD_backup and seems to screw everything up.
I'm thinking the mount command is linking the mount point to the wrong block... idk

4) back up and restore only gives you the option to back up to internal storage... REALLY would like to back up to _ExternalSD

The LG Lucid 4g (VS840) ... ummm yes there is. Mine has 4gb even though the device is advertised with 8gb.

The lucid has 8gb internal just 4 gb of it is used (firmware/1gb RAM/etc)

[Lito007]

you sir...are....AWESOMMEEEEE. I was stuck in CWM after doing a factory reset in the stripped rooted ROM from Dracconus website, tried doing a recovery with the backups i had and everything... not a thing would work O_O.... but thank you ssooooooo much that your delooper DID HA!! MUCH appreciated

 

[KrippyKreme]

Hmmmm....

So I am now rooted. I've properly installed CWM onto my phone. Here's where it's ridiculous. I've tried to enter recovery by Quick Boot as well as ROM Manager to flash the delooper. Once I flash it and it gives me the OK, I reboot and go back into recovery. When I flash the Broken Out ROM and reboot, it hangs in looping mode at the LG logo. What am I doing wrong? This is the suckiest experience I've had to date with rooting and flashing custom ROMs with any Android phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

[LickeyMong]

I am also having that problem ^

IMO there aren't any roms out there for this phone ready for prime time.

The 'Broken Out' Rom for the Connect won't work with this phone. You'll get the boot loop like you've been having. There is a 'beta' version for the Lucid floating around, but that one was still pretty incomplete (i.e. it didn't have the theme or some of the other features of the Broken Out ROM.

To date, development for this phone has been pretty much a bust. I can't even really get CWM to work completely on this phone. I keep having to re-flash CWM and fix permissions to even be able to get into recovery.

Having come from the OG Incredible, which had phenomenal development, to this phone has been a pretty big disappointment. My only hope is that they send out the ICS upgrade soon (or maybe even jelly bean).

Did you find a solution to this? I loop at the lg screen, too. I can get into download mode, and the stock "recovery," but I can't do anything from either of those screens.

"Stock Recovery" is a one trick "wipe" pony and the LG Support Tool won't see my phone in download mode. I have installed the usb drivers as well.

I didn't realize a bootloop = brick.

I think I answered my own question. After several hours of fighting with it, I found that the trick is to connect the looping phone via usb to your computer while the Support Tool is up. Then, at the moment the Support Tool indicates that it has seen your phone, hold power and the two volume buttons to send the phone to download mode. You have a small window to do this. If you miss it by even one second, the LG Support Tool decides that it can't connect to your phone and gives up.

Long and short: Putting a looping phone into download mode, and then physically connecting it to your laptop with the LG Tool open will not yield results. You must connect while looping to get it to work.



I hope this helps someone.

Lol you guys are cute. All you have to do start with your phone totally off. Then open the support tool. Goto customer support > recovery phone. Enter the IMEI. This will launch phase two of the support tool that won't bother checking for your phone. When it complains that it can't find your phone, then connect your phone via download mode which is as easy as just connect USB then hold volume buttons. Easy as pie and your done.

 

[LickeyMong]

I know that,I want to know how to not have to use the tool in the first place

 

[avelis26]

You want to unroot without flashing back to stock? We really should move this convo to a different thread.
