Here it is, Clockworkmod for the LG Optimus Black

The following has been tested and is working:

- Backup & Restore

- wipe data/factory reset

- wipe cache

- Reboot & Poweroff

- install zip from SD-Card

- Partition SD-Card

Notes:

- Use at your own risk! I´ll take no responsibility for any Bricks etc.

- Apperently the Optimus Black doesn´t have a Keycombination for going to Recoverymode on Booting. So at the moment CWM can only be accessed by rebooting the Phone to Recoverymode via App or Shell from a running System.

Downloads:

Clockworkmod v3.2.0.0 >>DOWNLOAD<<

LG United Mobile Drivers (Windows) >>DOWNLOAD<< (Needed when installing with MS Windows)

How to install:

1. Extract ZIP-File to your Local Computer

2. Connect the Phone with USB-Debugging enabled

3. Run The File install_recovery.bat (on Windows Systems) or install_recovery.sh(on Linux Systems)

4. Grant Root Access on the Phone
[LG Optimus Black] quyTam:
Thanks for the good news !
[LG Optimus Black] karayemis:
anyone tried this out yet?
[LG Optimus Black] mfriedenhagen:
On the German android-hilfe.de forum, most did it successfully. Real issue at least for me: that there is no support for booting into cwm using a key combination.

Regards

Mirko
[LG Optimus Black] deez1234:
If you don't mind me asking, what was the partition that you put the recovery image on? We are working on a solution for the LG G-Slate which also has no key combination to get into recovery.
[LG Optimus Black] xantaro:
Put it to the Recovery Partition. The lack of a key combination to boot Recovery sucks.
[LG Optimus Black] deez1234:
Do you know what the recovery looks like on the partition table?
[LG Optimus Black] Ipy219:
does the backup/restore option work? i want to make a back-up of current lg rom then install chainfire...and if things go wrong to be able to get back to lg rom.btw great job with making the recovery!!
[LG Optimus Black] quyTam:
Backup & restore works :

[LG Optimus Black] belkre:
can i get the source to use for gslate
[LG Optimus Black] xantaro:
The CWM Sourcecode is available in the Cyanogenmod Repo at Github.

If you want to build CWM for the gslate, you have to build & edit the devicespecific Configurationfiles.
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Would it be possible going back to original LG recovery (if it has one) for warranty purposes? I don't need it now, but just thought about it...

:)
[LG Optimus Black] xantaro:
You can go Back to Original Recovery by using the LG Mobile Updater

1. Download LG Mobile Updater (http://www.lg.com/de/support/mc-support/mobile-phone-support.jsp?countryCd=de)

2. Install Mobile Updater

3. Remove Battery from the phone and plug it to the Computer while Holding Vol-Up Button. Display should now show S/W Upgrade

4. Start the Mobile Updater, if needed install USB-Drivers

5. In the Menu of the Mobile Updater choose Customer Service -> Emergency Repair

6. Enter the IMEI of your Phone when the Updater asks for it and click Check

7. The Phone gets now reflashed. All Partitions except the Data Partition will be reflashed.
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Thank you very much for the extended explanation. It will sure be useful for anyone! I did this when I "bricked" my Black after trying to push a modified framework-res.apk, and I think I had to reflash the CWM recovery, but wasn't sure.

Do you guys have adb working in recovery?

:D
[LG Optimus Black] bootrecord:
working 100%, i even backed up my system, applied a factory reset and restored only Data part, and it worked like magic,

now i have a backup copy of my data to be used whenever needed
[LG Optimus Black] bootrecord:
my experience with Rom Manager was not so good, i used it and it reset my phone to defaults and i lost all my data
[LG Optimus Black] Yusei:
it work here

thx
[LG Optimus Black] soraxx:
Thanks for that rom
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Key combo should be possible after tinkering with the SBL.
[LG Optimus Black] dxdiag32:
great news!!then we can make our custom rom !
[LG Optimus Black] dxdiag32:
in the future we'll add reboot/recovery/upgrage to the power button menu:)
[LG Optimus Black] guipatinador:
works well... I install clockworkmod and rom manager and did the backup of the rom.
[LG Optimus Black] val5:
try anreboot ...it works
[LG Optimus Black] nunogil:
Great explanation. It worked great for me. Thank you.
[LG Optimus Black] nunogil:
Great news. You should install cmw according tutorial. If you use rom manager you will probably brick your phone.
[LG Optimus Black] nunogil:
From the link available at the first page. I did it sucessfuly. And it isnt cmw but cwm my mistake.
[LG Optimus Black] dxdiag32:
i use "adb reboot recovery" goto CWM recovery

btw,someone tell me ,after installed CWM recovery,all user data wiped.what's wrong?
[LG Optimus Black] nunogil:
Hum.. maybe you've tried to go recovery mode before installing CWM and the device assumed that you we'r trying to recover it or doing a factory reset.
[LG Optimus Black] i04055:
I install cwm and after that, all of my message gone...

now I have cwm v3.0.2, how can I update to v3.2 in the first page?

is it okay if I do the steps just like in the first page?
[LG Optimus Black] chutya1:
It works i used the search to select the different options

Happy now hv a back up

Thanks Guys
[LG Optimus Black] DJTaurus:
1)In the tutorial says to download LG Mobile Drivers....do we have also to install the exe?

2)After the procedure down....which is the button combo to get access in the custom recovery?
[LG Optimus Black] quyTam:
there's NO button combo ! -_-
[LG Optimus Black] DJTaurus:
delete post
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
I followed the steps but when I want to access to recovery, it does a factory reset. What's wrong please ? "/
[LG Optimus Black] chutya1:
Use Rom manager to boot in recovery
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
I try with anreboot and rom manager, it's like there is no cwm. "/

EDIT : I installed cwm manually and know it works.
[LG Optimus Black] somboons:
"How to install:

3. Run The File install_recovery.bat (on Windows Systems) or install_recovery.sh(on Linux Systems)

the method doesn't work for me when I used command install_recovery.bat It is showing the DOS windows and close quickly

(windows 7 64bit)
[LG Optimus Black] mgregor:
Try rightclick and "Run as administrator"
[LG Optimus Black] rgabi88:
You do not need to remove the battery from the phone and plug it to the Computer while Holding Vol-Up Button!!! Mobile Updater will bring the phone in "S/W Upgrade..." status even without those tricks!
[LG Optimus Black] somboons:
doesn't work for me

it show message

D:\TMP\LG\ROM\Clockworkmod v3.2.0.0\CWM_Install\CWM_Install>adb.exe wait-for-device

* daemon not running. starting it now *

* daemon started successfully *
[LG Optimus Black] ramrod:
@ somboos:

i had the same problem, try other install method.

0. root device

1.download the file...

2.unzip it, then copy "recovery.img" to your optimus sdcard...

3.install android terminal emulator from market...

4.open terminal, then input this command :

su

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

5. two files are written, finish

6. input:

reboot recovery
[LG Optimus Black] nunogil:
Yes and after that you need to grant root access on your phone. It is going to appear a superuser windows to allow cmw installation.
[LG Optimus Black] somboons:
when i key "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4" it show error message

:write error: No space left on device

when I key "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4" it doesn't show error message

after i key2 command above I will restart phone,right?
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
It says at first there is no space and just after it copies something. And I was a little “afraid“ too but it works for me. ;)
[LG Optimus Black] ramrod:
is your device rooted? error messege is normal

it must look like this: http://android.modaco.com/topic/341...us-blackp970/page__view__findpost__p__1742985

then it´s done.

type: reboot recovery
[LG Optimus Black] somboons:
I can install CWM now,thank you for support
[LG Optimus Black] kingvui78:
I did with above way, just ignored the error message, then use andreboot to boot in to recovery, done!
[LG Optimus Black] Jesper.strodl:
Will this unroot the phone and delete app like Gingerbreak?

regards Jesper
[LG Optimus Black] quyTam:
yes, you must re-root your phone.
[LG Optimus Black] Jesper.strodl:
okay good.

I did the LG recovery and after that the sceen did not responed at all :confused:

LG tolled me return the phone - but then it would not be good if it was rooted ;)

anyways i got a new black now :D
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
sorry but I can't get this sentence... what does this mean ? Need to root before flashing or flashing does it itself ?
[LG Optimus Black] evilenter:
I think he means when you click the .bat file, superuser will pop up on your phone, asking you if you'll let it gain root permission. Just press yes/agree/ok.
[LG Optimus Black] rimatox:
It's "Allow" :D
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
so, phone must be rooted before hm ?
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Yes

Noob question (just for precaution), i wanna flash my stock to Nova v1 and gingerbread theme+ex. kernel after that with CWM 3.2. what should i do first (recovery installed)? flash Nova with CWM Rom Manager app or manually flash it with recovery menu?

thx!

ehmm... which button is used as "ENTER" button in CWM recovery? i pressed menu, home, back and search touch button and it always falls back to CWM logo or top menu.

[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
The keycombination isn't at CWM... it's at bootloader.

Nova ROM inludes a way to access from boot using a physical key... but stock ROM doesn't... no way at the moment.
[LG Optimus Black] SensationStyler:
Ok thank you :)

if i install clockworkmod now, is it easy to make anything false?

-irst i have to get root (i am on v10e, and have unfortunatelly no root yet,but later i will have)

-then i have to install cwm and take the nova rom and wipe 1.3 to my sd card and boot into recovery

- than i have to wipe all (should i do a backup?)

- delete all user data

- install the nova rom and reboot or?

there is nothing with s-on or o-ff or? it's onlyon htc or?

Stange Problem

Hello Friends,

Today i installed Nova 3.1 on my Black, everything seems to working fine.

But encountered a strange problem, i cant install Clockworkmod on m device.

The USB Debunging MOD Bug is not appearing on my Bar, but when i checked ion the settings it is clicked.

So i cant backup my Rom by "Rom Manager App" it always says to install a Recovery.

And gives me some models number, but Black is not there so i choose the Optimus 2X.

after that my fon stuck on the LG Logo, no matter how many times i restart it.

After this i recover it using the LG Software, and after it it wont gives me permission to instal the apps, so i factory reset the phone.

Now i m able to install the apps:) but it wont let me boot into the recovery mod and stuck on the LG LOGO on Boot.

Now when i update the software or reinstall the OS (with KDZ updater), nothing is erased, all the software are there and settings remained.

I tried to update the Firmware to V11B_00.kdz (Bouygues Telecom) -- but strange it installed the latest OS but all the apps and settings are still there.

Now i need to install the Nova again on my black, but i cant do it bcoz my phone is not going in recovery mood.

Guyz Pls help me :(
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
You made almost all you must not do...

But luckily you have an easy way now. Just root with Gingerbreak and then use the package on this post to install recovery, then Anreboot to reboot in recovery and wipe, then flash.

DO NOT use ROM MANAGER for anything.

One more thing.

Now i m using NOVA v3... But there is no USB DEBUGGING icon is showing on when i connect the USB.. and it is already ticked in the applications > Development.

Is there nay problem with the Nova V3 or i m missing something?

Update: Anyway I just install the latest version with Purple theme and its working.
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Noejn removed usb debugging icon because it's enabled by default and he said "icons are for *******" hahaha. Usb debugging works, but without icon in notification bar.

[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
Hahaaha come on, *******? Usb debugging on and off could cause a problem. perhaps thiis was a software prob. Happened on my galaxy ace (2.2.3), if usb debug option ticked, the phone won't let you enable usb mass storage and no option on notification drop down.

I know this don't occur on P970.
[LG Optimus Black] WitchMX:
Hey all,

Help here, please.

I plugged the phone with USB debbuging ON, opened the install_recovery.bat file and then a DOS window appeared showing:

C:\Users\User\Documents\CWM_Install\CWM_Install>adb.exe wait-for-device

And it stays there. No prompt for root acces whatsoever.

Tried with mass storage on and then off... same result...

Any directions here are most appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

edit: Yes, my phone is rooted
[LG Optimus Black] pabgar:
\Have You installed phone drivers on Your Windows computer ?

[LG Optimus Black] Pdud Kronos:
My phone is bricked..how can i access to the CWM recovery? my phone is in bootloop and cannot access to anreboot...any ideas?
[LG Optimus Black] PaulBort:
Flash from KDZ-file.
[LG Optimus Black] Pdud Kronos:
Then what is the point having the backup file from cwm itself? it's pointless
[LG Optimus Black] Pdud Kronos:
Then what is the point having the backup file from cwm itself? it's pointless to install CWM at the first place when cannot restore it without flashing...
[LG Optimus Black] capocorp:
I agree with u, it's pointless.

It happened the same to me, i installed nova rom, by flashing it trough nova recovery. Before of that i did a backup (in recovery) just in case. Then i saw that i dont like nova rom, so i tried to restore the backup of stock rom from the recovery... the procedure went well, but after reboot i was stucked on the black screen for 30 mins, so i plugged to pc, runned the lg software updater and did an emergency recovery. i unbricked it finally!

btw i dont understand why "restore" option in the recovery didnt work well at all, i did a wipe data before flashing the backup... waht i did wrong?
[LG Optimus Black] rgabi88:
Flash v10a, root with gingerbreak, install cwm, reboot in cwm recovery, restore...

Beware!!! Nova uses ext4 and stock firmware uses ext3.

That's all.

Cheers.

Sent from my LG-P970
[LG Optimus Black] capocorp:
so if i have nova rom and i want to restore a backup of original v10c stock, i have to install the basic cmw and do the restore form there? btw stock cmw reads the backups made by nova cmw?
[LG Optimus Black] Pdud Kronos:
let's us assume that the phone is stuck in a bootloop operation..

how to access to cwm?
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
no way... there's no key combination
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
With Nova ROM that has eRecovery (emergency recovery) you have a time frame during the boot that if you press a key, you'll reboot into recovery. Without it, such as in stock ROM, you will have to flash a new firmware.
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
But, keypress comprobation occurs before typical bootloop?

I hope you have inserted it as soon as possible in boot procedure.

Regards.
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Depends on the cause of bootloop.

The keypress check happens about 3-4 seconds after turning it on. It's almost after the shell starts.

Like I said in the eRecovery thread, it will work for 90% of the cases such as an application causing bootloop or a faulty framework or init script.
[LG Optimus Black] cyclon1978:
I recompiled the framework and broke it, no recovery with Buttons!

That stopped me from rewriting the gps code (there are bugs...)

Should the recovery have worked?
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
If you had NOVA, you should be able to boot into recovery pressing some key repeatedly...

BTW, if you recompile the framework-res.apk, it will probably not boot...

:)
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
It refers to framework.jar I think...
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
I can' tell for sure about the framework.jar. Maybe it's even more harmful and breaks recovery keys.

:)
[LG Optimus Black] AppelonD:
Somebody please fix the links.

Also a way to flash the LG-P970 from a Linux system would be nice. but all the links I hit are broke or pure windows which is not working do to something strange driver crap...

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kashifmeh:
Hello,

I have rooted my Galaxy Tab P1000 (Tmobile UK) through z4root. After rooting, I cannot connect it to Samsung Kies to check if an updated is available. I have tried all of the solutions mentioned on different forums (disable debugging, restore stock launcher, delete long files etc.) but it doesn't work.

The only reason I was wanting to connect it to Kies was to upgrade to Gingerbread. Is there any way to do it manually? There was procedures specified in different threads but they specifically rule out carrier locked tablets (I am presuming my Tab is carrier locked).

Thanks in advance.
