Hey hey hey, now those are carefully crafted bugs-- be gentle with them :)

Seriously though, if you see any improvements that you think I should add or fix, let me know and I'll build an updated version.

CM7 dev is currently at a "temporary standstill" while I'm trying to compile a libsensors library, so an update to RevoToolkit probably wouldn't be a bad idea.

Things I'd like to fix in RevoToolkit:

1. Have the Java side of the app do the downloading of the .tar.gz files

Using wget from the shell script is pretty unreliable, and often times can give users half-baked copies of the actual .img file leading to the md5 errors.

2. Fix the weirdness where a file "blah.tar.gz" containing 0 bytes will get downloaded, then extracted (which fails) and somehow passes the md5 checksum before getting flashed. That leads up to the "md5 of installed recovery..." error message.

3. Fix some of the error message handling code, and possibly add a "send logfile to thecubed" option.

4. make "party mode" work...

5. profit! (haha)

Anyway, if y'all have any suggestions for me, let me know, I'm open to anything...
[LG Revolution] PegSha:
Awesome!!!

I am a noob to all things root and rom. Was having trouble getting new rom on my Revo and loaded the RevoToolKit and flashed RevoltRom with no probs!!!! However, I tried to flash revo de-crap and got a "c5m (I think that what it is) mismatch." Any suggestions??? Thanks again for an awesome easy way to flash CWM Recovery!!!
[LG Revolution] S.Meezy:
Md5. Basically, there was a mismatch/error in the file, try downloading again...
[LG Revolution] PegSha:
Awesome!! Thanks
[LG Revolution] daveconner98:
I have a Revolution that has been updated, how do I roo this thing now?

Thank you so much for your help!
[LG Revolution] omik47:
Have to do the downgrade and then you CAN root with S1C.
[LG Revolution] peaveyone:
I want revotoolkit/downgrade/root etc

I've been searching all over for an answer, hopefully you can help here. Somehow I lost USB connectivity to my phone. however, charging still works. I was rooted prior to the update but of course lost it. I started the downgrade process but got stuck in LGNPST with an error that said "can't find phone in dload mode" I had to pull the battery because the phone was stuck on the screen that says "do not remove cable". Since then my pone won't recognize any USB mode. I have another stock revolution that connects instantly so I don't believe it is drivers or cables. Do I have any options to manipulate this phone without USB connection? Are there any commands I can try through terminal emulater (or others) to try and "jump start" the USB port again.

I apologize if I am asking off the wall questions I am an extreme newbie at this.

Any Help would be Greatly Appreciated.

Thanks
[LG Revolution] jefbal99:
awesome app, made installing the recovery easiest on any android device I've rooted.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Try putting the phone back into DLOAD mode (remove usb/battery, insert battery, hold vol-up and power until "do not remove usb", then plug in usb)

From there LGNPST should recognize it... if not, you've got a hardware problem...

Good luck!
[LG Revolution] peaveyone:
Thanks for the response.... Right now I can't even start LGNPST because the USB isn't rercognized on the phone. Since this had happened I had even done a few hard resets of the pone. So as far as getting back in DLOAD mode, I'm confused. I did, however push volume up and power until it booted into safe mode which I didn't even know we could do. Is there anything I can do from there? Were you thinking my USB should be recognized in safe mode? If so, as you said it is probably a hardware issue and I need to decide if I bring it in for warranty replacement or live with no USB. I have superuser still installed in my applications folder which I can't get rid of. Thanks again for helping with the revolution, you are awesome!
[LG Revolution] peaveyone:
I know this is probably a stupid question, but is it possible to flash a downgrade without a computer (through a SDcard)... I assume not but if so, please help.

Thanks
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Nope.

As of last week, I've been toying with an alternate rooting method, but for now you'll have to use a PC to downgrade... Hopefully my easy-root method works on other devices besides mine :)

Please note, questions like this really don't belong in this thread. If you've got a question that isn't about RevoToolkit itself (pertaining to the installation or removal of ClockworkMod Recovery) I'd recommend that you post in the General section or find a proper thread to post in.

Thanks!
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Hey man, sent you a pm.

I'm Revolting and Home-Less, how about you?
[LG Revolution] pedtech:
stuck in CLOCKWORK!

I was in the process of returning my phone to stock , so i did a factory reset, but now i can't get out of clockwork.

I tried everything. I even flashed a COMPLETE stock rom thats rooted but it keeps on returning me to the ORANGe clockwork recovery v4.0.0.2 screen.

I am a little frustrated, so please guys can you help?

can i install a .zip to pass this one screen up and load my rom?

thank you in advance.
[LG Revolution] K0G:
The exitrecovery.zip file is what you are looking for.

Hope it helps :P

"Home-Less and Iconic"
[LG Revolution] pedtech:
awesome!

WOW! That was it! Thankyou!

Worked perfectly!
[LG Revolution] :
is it normal for recovery to reboot after wiping data?

for example when I wipe cache, it will display "Cache wipe complete" at the end, when i wipe data, it does something at the end, and then reboots recovery .
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Yes that is normal
[LG Revolution] G4 Man2:
everytime i try to restart into recovery mode it restarts, then the lg logo comes on then off and then a quick white flash and then the screen turns black and i hav to pull the battery :/ any ideas?
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
You have to flash the recovery everytime you want to go into it if you are on stock GB
[LG Revolution] jeff_roey:
Just rooted my device. I DL'd and installed CWM. I accepted SU permission request and checked the installed recovery version like you directed. It's reporting back "Version Not Found"

Should I install Clockwork Recovery?
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Yes
[LG Revolution] b_wat:
somebody help i cannot get recovery to work for the life of me, I am trying to flash gingervolt but cant get to recovery

somebody help
[LG Revolution] S.Meezy:
Put GingerVolt on root of SD.

Use revotoolkit to install cwm.

If you have done so, in revotoolkit, hit check installed version to make sure it comes up w 4.0.0.2 pr-1

Make sure the battery is fullyish charged.

If it does say cwm installed and battery is fullish, hit the menu button in revotoolkit and reboot recovery.

Backup stock ROM. (it'll take a while, hence battery charge and all that)

Follow instructions for GingerVolt.

Ice Cream Kanged & GingerVolted VS910 4G
[LG Revolution] b_wat:
I have done all of that i have even done a factory reset then installed the revotoolkit and it keeps saying version not found
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
It will say that. Revotoolkit checks for recovery for zv4 and does not recognize recovery for able hence the version not found
[LG Revolution] b_wat:
when i do boot into recovery my screen flashes and thats it nothing happens and i have to pull the battery
[LG Revolution] jeff_roey:
Have kind of a dumb question:

I was able to install CWM and backup my stock ROM without any issue. Pretty seamless. I went in and browsed the contents of my external SD just to see where it was putting stuff and copy it to my desktop for safe keeping when I noticed the timestamp on the clockworkmod folder is about 6 hours in the future. Added the folder around 8:00 this evening (11/2) and it's showing it was created at 1:12 on 11/3. It's about 10:40 on 11/2 when I'm typing this.

Just odd but any chance you could put tomorrow's game scores in there? :)
[LG Revolution] S.Meezy:
open revotoolkit

check installed version

click install clockwork recovery then 4.0.0.2-pr1 and OK

check installed version to make sure it's there

if not, how do you feel about ADB? :)

I had to go the ADB route bc revotoolkit wouldn't install CWM for me... also, I seem to be the only one with a backup of gingerbread recovery bc of this :p
[LG Revolution] b_wat:
hey man im good with adb just send me the commands and files i need i just cant get this to work at this point i will try anything
[LG Revolution] S.Meezy:
files and instructions R here... should take all of like 2 minutes...

any questions i'm here or on IRC for a while prob

adding: still use revotoolkit to check its installed before flashing into it just to be super safe...
[LG Revolution] b_wat:
thank you worked perfectly making a backup now
[LG Revolution] ssnapier:
Ok, this is not working for me.

You said to post here if I got version not found, and that is what I got. I downloaded the CWM app, installed it (from SD card) and checked... version not found. I then tried moving it to the phone, and got the same thing.

Here are my phone specs:

Android Version 2.3.4

Build number: GRJ22

Software version: VS910V7

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-perf lg-electronics@si-rd10-bld185#1

Here is the MD5 reported in the RevoToolKit: 3d494baa5d3336f1e9a9070750ebffc5

The phone was rooted using MotorolaOneClickRoot (automated adb method) and BusyBox is in /system/bin like it should be. Any suggestions? I really don't want to try and install CWM without knowing what is going on here.
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
Did you try more than once? Sometimes it doesn't work the first time
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Also if you use my all in one, it will install cwm.
[LG Revolution] ssnapier:
I ignored it and installed anyway. It went quite smoothly... weird, but I am glad it worked!
[LG Revolution] Nckmsn:
force close

I am trying to install gingervolt. I downloaded app back up and restore so i could back up my apps. After doing the back up i was trying to back up my current rom. When i tried to open up revotoolkit I got a force close. I have tried uninstalling the reinstalling with no success. i keep getting the force close. I'm kind of stuck if i can't get into recovery.

Any ideas
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
The new all in one posted by mt will install cwm.
[LG Revolution] Nckmsn:
Cwm is installed. I can't access cwm because the tool kit forces close. Is there another way to get to recovery other than using the tool kit. If the all in one circumvents the tool kit will i be able to back up different rom.
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
Download quick boot from the market.
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
You can do what Indy said, or you can turn the phone off, then turn it back on holding the power button+volume down. Keep holding it until you get to a screen that says something about it wiping data, press and release the power button, press and release the power button again to confirm, viola, hello Recovery!

The phone doesn't really wipe anything when you do that, just ignore that message.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
PSA: RevoToolkit is down for a few days-- my home server (thecubed.com) died the other day, and I've been in the process of moving over all my data, but unfortunately the MySQL tables are gone :(

So... I have to fix it all here soon-- should be up by Friday.

Thanks for your patience!
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:

[LG Revolution] SoloWookie:
I have a question that I have searched the forum for but have not seen an answer for. I have a rooted phone, and I have CWM installed on it. I used the following link to install it and I am on CWM version 5.0.2.7.

After I blew the phone software up (long story) I am running GingerVolt 2.0 which I am VERY happy with. I used SuperOneClick 2.3.3. to root the phone. I have also purchased both Rom Manager and Rom Toolkit which I would like to take advantage of.

I have tried to install the RevoTookKit however the software will not launch. I tried the busy box fix by moving it to /system/bin. It seems my only viable option now seems to be the manual install as instructed by this link.

Is this a downgrade to 5.0.2.7.? Also regardless if it is a downgrade or not is it safe to run this to get the RevoToolKit installed if I am already on CWM 5.0.2.7.? :confused::cool::eek:
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
This is outdated just use http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1348557 which is the CWM version you should be on. Also, Rom Manager isn't compatible with the Revo.
[LG Revolution] SoloWookie:
So neither CWM is compatible with Rom Manager?
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
It is but you can't use Rom Manager and don't pick LG Esteem because it will not work with our phones.
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
CWM is the name of the company. ROM Manager is an app made by said company. Clockwork Recovery is the custom recovery needed to flash ROMs and kernels. The app "ROM Manager" is NOT compatible with the Revolution. You have to use the new "all in one" program that mtmichaelson made to get the custom recovery.
[LG Revolution] vk4559:
hi hopefully someone can help me i tried to install CWM and fails everytime...my phone is rooted obviously and i tried to install CWM (revotoolkit) all it says is "the application revotoolkit has stopped unexpectedly.force close....so i tried another method and using the LG esteem root method where i tried to install chose option 2...opens up the daemon and says daemon started successfully...and nothing happens...so if anyone can help would be appreciated
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
Turn on USB debugging and set the phone to internet connection
[LG Revolution] sleepycarl5150:
Try using the aio in the thread titled "easy v8 all in one" if it's already rooted option 2 should work for you. That is, if you're on v8 or v9.
[LG Revolution] marty28645:
Awesome

Wow this is just great! One question, does this work on rooted zv9? Thanks for the hard work you put into this.:good:
[LG Revolution] PinkyTheDevil:
No it does not.

Read the reply above your post.:rolleyes:

This thread should be locked by a moderator since this no longer works with any of the current updates.
[LG Revolution] Cheapxj:
Bad link to APK in OP..

someone fix this! I'm stuck using this old POS until god knows when. finding everything I needed just to root it from v9 was a huge pain in the ass.

although coming from a galaxy S3, I actually like alot of things about this old POS better. (4g speed is better, signal is better, I can actually hear the damn speaker and I can actually feel something in my hand... I'm kinda over samsung.)
[LG Revolution] :
This tool is no longer used anyway. Now you just use ROM Manager to install CWM.
[LG Revolution] Carbon_Rink:
Looking good. Keep up the awesome work!
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Just...a...little...more tweaking left to do...

Program runs, and works reliably-- but I'm still running into a slight issue with "su" and md5sum...

Either way, come Friday night, I should have this released.

For now, I'm off to bed (it's 4AM).

(ALSO:

Question: since I've made all the strings into resources, would it be useful for me to publish the sting tables so that it can be translated into other languages? Not sure if anyone feels the need for a RevoToolkit en Espanol...)
[LG Revolution] nick99wj:
You really don't sleep...there's a lot of "thecubed" type programmers at my school(RIT)...i'll see them in the labs at 2am+, however that also means that I'm walking out of the materials testing, dynamics lab, or machine shop at 2am+ haha

I was all excited to have something to do at work today...kinda slow. Which means I probably wont be back till Wednesday after 3pm today. Birthday weekend and July 4th....i don't think i'll have the cognitive ability to mess with my phone for most of the days.

BUT....I will happily wait, thanks again cuberduber, yup...that name just happened(pronounced kewber-doo-ber)

Just realized how much a a mindless ramble to pretty much myself this post it....well i'm leaving it haha
[LG Revolution] iomthd:
That's great news! I was just wondering about going back to stock if I needed to. Can't wait for my phone to get here!
[LG Revolution] MXFrodo195:
In a few posts up you'll see he has an option for cwm or stock revo. And you can just super one click su out of this guy in literally thirty seconds. I'm thinking the same thing because i think whenever ice cream comes out I'm gonna jump ship to it!

Little Buddy Sr.
[LG Revolution] bken620:
Thanks for all your awesome work, I rooted my phone and deleted instead of froze a couple of things I didn't want to, it didn't hurt the phone, but I would have rather just frosted them instead of lost them. So this will be a huge help for me being able to go back to stock, especially since I have ZERO experience with doing my own programming, not matter how simple it is. Thanks again!
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Woohoo!

Issues with SU successfully resolved.

Issues with JSON fixed!

Program can now check the installed version of CWR reliably, and allow the user to select a custom version to install.

A few major modifications to the code were made to prevent the superuser prompt from spamming the user :)

We're up to about 570 lines of code!
[LG Revolution] nfederic:
I getting anxious now!
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Alllrighty boys and girls!

This is a call for testers!

I need a few people who:

are knowledgable with ADB (or comfortable with me teamviewer-ing into their PC)

are rooted; and

are patient :)

to meet me in #lgrevolution on IRC to join in on the test builds!
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
Hurry testers! I'd do it, but I have a mac
[LG Revolution] trikemis:
lets do this

walk me through it, im been watchin

•comfortable with me teamviewer-ing into their PC

•rooted

•patient

how do i get in #lgrevolution on IRC to join in on the test builds!
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Update:

Application -mostly- works!

Working with testers revealed some bugs that I wasn't expecting (differing locations of su and busybox, caused by non-standardization of rooting processes).

I'll have my tester phone available tomorrow, so I'll get all the bugs ironed out before a public release sometime mid-afternoon tomorrow.

Thanks to all the testers tonight!

(L_McDroid, trikemis, thermal_tim, smeezius)

Todo:

Fix application not returning proper version ID if the recommended version is left selected by default by Android. (seems like a quick bug, but it's not working right..)

Fix random failure of my settings dialogue box... seems like it wants to trigger all options randomly.

For fun, if anyone wants to poke fun at my java skills, the current application source is here: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=jfL2qukD
[LG Revolution] Brksy86:
Awsome, thanks so much again for all that you have done for us Revo owners. This is def. helping a lot and I feel we would probably still be at simply rooting without the stuff you are putting out for us.
[LG Revolution] thermal_tim:
I had a blast! I hate I had to leave. I paid for it this morning but whatever. Lol! Great job cubed, keep it up!
[LG Revolution] Carbon_Rink:
What time you need us testers tonight? After being up till 4am i think i have one more good night before I pass out.
[LG Revolution] mavrikjc:
If you need another tester count me in. I'm currently rooted, handy with ADB, etc.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
I actually haven't been able to work on this today, as I've been super busy with housework and whatnot, but hopefully tonight I'll have a final version out.

I should be able to test it and make sure it fully works also on my tester phone.
[LG Revolution] thermal_tim:
when you need another tester, let me know.

[LG Revolution] thermal_tim:
Looking good!

Can't wait for this to release! You, are, the, man! When can the classes for doing what you do begin??? Just sayin'... lol! Keep up the good work! I speak for all of us Revo users when I say thank you! Thank you for being our sole developer and giving us such great products. I know you said you are not one of those money hungry developers. You do not ask for funds. But this all takes time, and I want to help in the cause for goodness by asking all those that have benefited from your tireless hard work, as have I, to send a couple bucks your way. In the words of the great one Benjamin Franklin, "Time is money" LOL! I have, a couple times, and will continue as the new add ons and ROM updates continue to poor into our hands. Thank you Cubed (IOmonster). You have made this LG device much more enjoyable and much more adept to doing what I want it to do. Can't wait to see what comes next. Keep it up good man, we are on the edge of our seats for what comes next!
[LG Revolution] trikemis:
Cant Wait

Any Updates Cubed, haven’t heard from you in a few days. Do you have a link for an updated test version, I still have the old one. Thanks for the development, it was a blast testing.
[LG Revolution] iomthd:
Looking forward to this! Just got my Revo today!
[LG Revolution] iomthd:
I ended up being impatient and going the old fashioned way with adb pushing su. I'll use this for my other one though! Just to see it
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
lol. i'm holding off on doing that, but i'm running out of patience too.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Coming soon... yep I know I've said that a few times now...

Patience is a virtue :)

I've got the threading issues solved, now to just tidy up the app and add some more error-checking (solve things like randomly FC'ing, etc).

I'm going to thoroughly test this app before releasing it, since it needs to work 100% of the time.
[LG Revolution] joetama:
Honestly I'd much rather see a quality product than a rushed one.
[LG Revolution] thelandon:
I just rooted an LG Revolution today, only to find out that we don't have Clockwork Mod Recovery yet (unless you're familiar with ADB). Will someone download from the market "Root Toolbox"? It allows you to install CWR and per the user reviews, appears to be working on other rooted LG phones. Please report back on your findings, and don't forget to make a backup before attempting this.

Thanks!
[LG Revolution] brianhaden:
The root toolkit is great, but I downloaded the cwm for the revo and tried flashing it to no avail. Looks like waiting or adb is all we got. Thank your lucky stars for thecubed!
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Root toolkit on market is NOT my app, my app is RevoToolkit, and is not available yet.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Its released! Woohoo!!
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Source released as a .zip (added to the first post)
[LG Revolution] MXFrodo195:
Works great Cubed. I went back to stock to try it out then redid it. Everything perfect. One question. What is party mode?

Little Buddy Sr.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Nothing yet :)
[LG Revolution] vinylguy:
Worked flawlessly. Patience... It was well worth the wait!

Thanks!
[LG Revolution] nick99wj:
I'm only getting a very small (5.6kb) file and then my phone says "Parse Error: Problem parsing file", or something like that:confused:
[LG Revolution] brianhaden:
Worked flawlessly! Great job cubed
[LG Revolution] nick99wj:
How big was the file when you downloaded it from goo-inside.me? I'm not sure why I keep getting a tiny(5.76kb this time) file
[LG Revolution] chiperic:
So I did the manual CWM recovery with ADB push. Can I still use this? I would like to have this version so I can go back to stock easily if I wanted.

Thanks
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
It does the same thing to me from that site when I download from my phone. I have to download it from my computer and push it onto my phone.
[LG Revolution] Jasbo:
most excellent! Works great.
