Root [One Click][Updated]LG Spectrum All in One Pkg for Root, CWM Touch Recovery, and Unroot

so does this mean i have cwm on my phone? is there a way to know for sure?

More than likely lol. If those were the only errors then it sounds like it did install cwm. Download Quick Boot from the market and select recovery. If it boots to cwm, there is your answer lol. If it freezes or just reboots, then you will know it did not install.

Ok, you have me lost. Are you trying to get back to stock or just wipe the phone? CWM will factory reset your phone for you, but neither CWM or stock recovery will bring your OS back to factory spec unless you had a nandroid backup. To do that, you would need to flash the .cab file to over write every partition.

If you really are desperate to get rid of the CWM recovery for some reason, then replace the stock .img file in the one click directory with this.

Well, i accidentally deleted some Verizon apps in titanium and now i cant get them back even with a data wipe because i erased my sd card...its annoying. And the lg support tool doesnt work. Oh, and I wanted to restore stock recovery so that I could receive OTA updates because I may be giving this phone to my girlfriend and I don't want her to brick her device if she receives a notification that an OTA update is available.

Use this and tell me if you run into any issues.

Flashing LG signed Firmware - LG Spectrum - RootzWiki

It will restore you to stock and then you will be prompted to take the update from 3.02 to 4.04 . Once you reboot after the update, the internal software will wipe out CWM and you will be back at complete stock.

quck question: I think ive duscoivered im running the non touch version of cwm. Can i just redownload the files and flash re run the file to make sure im on the newer touch version? I am also running the Broken out Rom is that makes a difference.

edit: Also not sure if it makes a difference or helps, my CWM is v. 5.0.2.7

Yeah. The all in one will just overwrite what you have in recovery with the new touch version.

This is an All-in-One package to Root and install CWM Recovery or to UnRoot and install the stock recovery. I have spent many hours trying to modify this to be as easy as possible for all to accomplish their goals whether by modding or returning to stock. I had initially built this for the LG Revolution, and have ported it over to work with the LG Spectrum.

Is this for spectrum and/or Revo? I am tryinf to root the VZ8 updated Revo Verizon sent me when my old one broke.

(you may have answered these questions before, but for the sake of convenience, please put all the answers into one response here)

are you using Windows, Mac, Linux, or something else?

If Windows, do you have the LG drivers installed?

please list step by step what you are doing (pretend you are explaining the process to a bunch of 3 years olds, although you don't have to tell us you moved the mouse... :p ), please do it again and write it out while you are doing it (start with turning the computer on and plugging the phone in), to make sure you get each step written out for us to assist.

there are smarter people here than me, so sending a PM might not help you... please reply here :)

Go to Google Play and download an app called root check, but if it rebooted the phone it should have worked.

First, thanks to the talents of the people that have put this together. As others on here have admitted, I'm a newb to this as well.

After a couple hours of searching, the information provided on the board impressed me that I wasn't go to fry my phone should I take the plunge. I took the plunge and all seemed to work just as described. The DOS like prompts came up as all seemed normal, the phone rebooted and I was a happy camper.

Here's my issue: dl'd root check from the market and ran it. It popped up that AutoKiller Memory Optimizer was requesting Superuser access (I installed AutoKiller prior to going through the root process.) The first time this happened, I denied access at root checker came back and said that the device wasn't rooted. Running rootchecker in advanced mode and it comes up with what is probably the standard messages of why it wasn't rooted.

Any thoughts? Should I be allowing superuser access to the Autokiller app, perhaps.

Thanks in advance. Not doing anything until someone gets back to me :)

You have root access, that is why there is something asking for permission. Super user is what gives you root access.

Rooted from a different process for Mac for ease of use.

Trying to use this one click method on Windows VMWare Parallels, and the Windows I am running recognizes the LG Android on the usb port. I have done ethernet mode, with USB debugging checked.

I am trying to install the CWM Touch only, and eventually try Broken Out. I'm having no luck getting past CWM Touch. Everytime it runs the script everything is "no path or file specified". It runs the whole script in ~3 seconds, while the phone never reboots, etc...

Any ideas? Or any way to check if I have successfully added CWM Touch and it just occurred really quickly?

TIA
