Root [RECOVERY][CWMR][UNOFFICIAL][DEV] Clockworkmod Recovery for the LG Optimus F7 LG870 (fx1s)

[PlayfulGod]

This is a work in progress and may or may not work at this point in time. This could also fubar your device for which I am not responsible for what you do to/with your device(s). USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

Data will be wiped booting to recovery, so have a backup made and be prepared!!!

With all that said lol, here is a zip that can be flashed with the 2nd-init recovery thats available and a loki'd img for those who know how to flash it manually.


Flash in 2nd-init recovery
fx1s-cwm.zip

or

download this file: fx1s-cwm.lok

and flash with adb:

adb push fx1s-cwm.lok /data/local/tmp/fx1s-cwm.lok

adb shell su -c dd if=/data/local/tmp/fx1s-cwm.lok of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

Please post feedback in this thread.

Curious what .lok file is.

Curious what .lok file is.

The lok file is to be used if you know how to download and run Loki from git hub. Loki allows you to flash it with a locked bootloader.

kinda, let me explain it a lil better. The .lok file is a .img file that has been loki'fied, that being that loki was ran on it to patch it to bypass the signature check the bootloader does.

A .lok file can be flashed with dd just like a .img file.

I will put how to flash it with dd in my OP for those who want to do it that way.

Feedback:
No pink screen bug I was having
Everything appears to be mounted correctly
However data still wipes upon reboot back to system

is it wiped when booted into recovery or just aftyerwards?????

When booted into recovery. However I'm not 100 percent sure. I've booted in recovery before and had it not wipe data but I can't recall how I did that. Upon reboot the Accessibility Prompt shows and everything is reset. Data is also not working until I reset the programming.

to see when it actually wipes data, boot into recovery, restore a backup with data in the nandroid restore then reboot to system you will know if it wipes on boot or only when you boot into recovery. when you say data is not working do you mean like 3g/4g?

 

[PlayfulGod]

k, let me rebuild it, I think i have it formatting data atm anyhow, cant recall if I do or not in the uploaded img, so to be sure I'll rebuild w/o the postrecoveryboot.sh.

you can look via adb shell to see if that file^^ is in sbin too.

I'll have a new img and zip uploaded here in a bit after I eat supper.

You probably do, the file is in your source on github haha

Yeah 3G/4G but a simple dial pad entry fixes that.

Is it going to wipe data again? Cause I no longer have the device it's my mother's. I gave it to her as a gift.

that I am not sure of, chances are it will, so I'd do a backup in the 2nd-init recovery to the external sdcard to be safe.


We are now testing to determine if in fact data gets wiped booting to recovery, and how its done, be it the new currently unfixable way or old fixable way.


if everything works other than data being wiped, I need a dump of misc while booted into CWM.

Alright. I can't do a backup as the 2nd - init recovery doesn't work with Gametheory 's kernel and going back is a pain. I'll take the risk and do it again.

you could manually back it up in adb shell lol

I know. But I'm lazy. I don't even feel like turning on my computer so I'm going to do it through the Android terminal. Lol

New img and zip uploaded, everything should be good now... hopefully.

Why would you want to tether off WiFi? Lol why not 3g/4g?

 

[PlayfulGod]

Well I need feedback on what might not be working

 

[chevanlol360]

believe if i had the dang phone already this would have been flashed and done already lol
