[CWM]ClockworkMod Recovery for the LG Optimus C

Okay OC owners, I have a working build of ClockworkMod Recovery. I have submitted it to Koush for official build and merged into ROM Manager.


An app called Flash Image GUI can be use to install or in terminal.


Link: recovery.img to install in terminal:

 su

 mount -o remount, rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system

 cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image

 chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image

 flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

Thanks to sillputtyddd for the cmd syntax!!!





USE AT OWN RISK!! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE WHAT YOU DO TO YOUR PHONE!!

2 confirms its working fully with the hard keys. Submitted to koush.

So, I returned my phone to stock, rooted, and flashed this with Flash Image GUI.

It boots into recovery fine, but there's this text at the bottom and:

CWM-based Recovery v4.0.1.4
E:Bad boot message
"recovery "

I can install the Cyanogen build fine (runs great on reboot), and I flashed the google apps zip - says it is installed as well but on reboot they aren't showing up on the phone.

Any ideas? Thanks for the work.

Yea I been informed of that error. After some searching it appears to not harm anything.

Not heard of that issue from anyone else, but will keep my hears/eyes open for it.

I will have a OC to work with this week some time so I will be able to test thing in a more efficient manner then.

I tried to use the terminal but it says cannot create /system/bin/flash_image: read only file system.

The backups this recovery makes doesn't seem to restore data correctly. Any backup made before the update restores the data. So it's a backup problem not a restore problem I'd assume

Or maybe not. I switch back to the old pre usb fix recovery and the only thing it says is backed up is the boot.img

But if I check the file it's all there. Kind of weird

 

[mistermsk]

Got it installed. Backed up my system (Backup complete!).

I just wanted to thank you for this. Thought I bricked my phone. Luckily, I did the back-up. YES! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Recovery worked. Had to tweak some settings once up. But the phone is not a brick!

This is now available in ROM Manager!!!!!!!!!!!

Will I be able to save IT? it is the Stock LG LW-690 2.2 for Cricket so All I Wanted was to Be Able to Back Up the Stock Rom

 

[PlayfulGod]

Do believe ya bricked it. You will have to restore it. I think I have a how to on the wiki, if not I know there is one n will try and find it n post it.

If anyone else knows a way to fix plz post up as well

AND, safest way to install CWM now is from ROM Manager

 

[ahze85283]

ok so to any one that does this I think I found out how to Fix it
with phone connected to PC and Fastboot from SDK

open CMD

> fastboot devices

to get the info of your Phone

> fastboot -s <serial number> reboot

I got this from
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fastboot#Fastboot_Commands

devices list all connected devices
reboot reboot device normally

WooHoo

P.S. Thankyou PlayfulGod didn't See your post till after I posted
