Note that i updated cwm today to it's 1st Stable release.
Also Note, their will be a follow up Modded Lucidian rom to support my cwm's /data hack.

Today's cwm is now an external sd /data hack version.
If you want to use the internal sd one then go here (will add link tommorow along with lucidian link)
The following how to guide below is if you need to access /data in the internal recovery version or if you want to migrate to the new external sd version.

How to use either cwm:

Spoiler

Internal and external sd version: Use online nandroid backup to backup /data to the external sdcard (/storage/sdcard1) in clockworkmod recovery format. Reboot into my latest recovery and wait for it to create the necessary files on the sdcard.
Restore you're backup and the files will be copied into the new /data hack on the external sdcard.

Do this too on external sd /data hacked version: Install my modded version of the Lucidian rom (link hasnt been added yet because I havent made the rom yet)

The standard /data size will be 2gb. If you need a special build with more than 2gb of /data space then tell me.

About the /data hack:

Spoiler

Since internal data is wiped when you boot into cwm, i moved /data to the external sdcard in cwm.
Now that ive done this a modded rom is now required.
Lucidian will be modified accordingly and my cm11 build will also support this hack.

About the deneuter stock rom's sim card requirement hack:

Spoiler

On stock and stock based roms they require that you have an activated sim card to be able to use them.
If you dont have an activated sim card in the device than you wont be able to use the phone.
To remedy this, reboot back into recovery after installing lucidian or whatever stock based rom.
Or if you already booted into the rom and its asking for a sim card. press these buttons consecutively Volume up, volume down, back key, menu

FIX!!!!!


download the custom rom for this phone Xperion ROM - Android Creations

(thank Gametheory for the rom)

next put the rom on your external SD card

using the Root Browser App go into the zipped roms folders and go to /system then /app

find the apps.... LGVZWAppSetupWizard_JB.apk AND LGVZW SetupWizard_JB.apk AND SetupWizard.apk

Extract them

next using root Browser Paste them in /system /app

when asked click copy and replace

next set the permissions to owner read and write group read and others read at the bottom it should show rw-r--r-- 0644

reboot

then once booted got to settings then backup and reset and factory reset

NOTES: do not hard reset but doing the button combo also simply kdz updating will not fix your service neither will installing a fresh version of the rom...deleting /system in cwm wont work also

once restored go to your dialer and call *228 and reboot
