So I'm trying to root and flash a rom for my girlfriend. I've rooted my HTC Desire, changed recoveries, changed the memory partitions. So I'm not completely stupid on the subject. But her phone is pissing me off. I have successfully rooted her phone. But I can't for the life of me get a custom recovery on her phone. Any help/ suggestions would be appreciated.

Apologies, I've only just noticed this.
Do you want it added or I could stick your thread?
Whatever you prefer is fine with me.

Looks like its been awhile since this has been active so I hope someone there is monitoring the post. My wife has the optimius S and I was looking to root the phone for her.
I took a look at the op but her baseband is different. its:LS670MVD_60401001
will any of the ones posted work on her phone?

How about some more details on what happened and what you've already tried to fix the problem?
Maybe try the following:
1) Pull the battery from the phone.
2) Plug the phone into power. You should see just the physical buttons light up most likely. If you see the message to insert the battery already, proceed to step 4.
3) If you just have the lit buttons (but no screen message), keep unplugging and plugging the phone back in until the message to insert the battery comes up on the screen. Some people have said it takes a dozen attempts or more, but it's always done it for me after about 6 tries.
4) Once that message is on screen, insert the battery again. Your phone should show the LG Logo briefly, and then eventually go into the battery charging animation. If it doesn't get to that animation, then this isn't likely to work sadly.
5) With the animation onscreen, hold down the power button until the phone starts to boot again. Let it go once the LG Logo appears.
Also, since you've rooted your phone already have you rebooted into 'Recovery Mode'? (simultaneously pressing the 'Power' button, the 'Home' button, and the 'Volume-Down' button)

Fyi...TR 1.8 for the new ZVD LG update is now available. As far as I know, Sprint has not begun pushing this update yet. If you do want to root or think you may want to in the future, use the LG Updater tool and do it through your computer. Full details and instructions can be found over at Android Central. I updated to ZVD and am running TR 1.8 and it is fantastic!
Where can I find this "LG Updater Tool"? One post said it was in the top post, but I could not find it there
Thanks,
Cliff
