Cool, thanks for the heads up!
[LG Revolution] Someguy1027:
Worked flawlessly! You are the man Cubed!

Donation happily made for a job well done!

[LG Revolution] iomthd:
I'd actually like to know this as well
[LG Revolution] Carbon_Rink:
Can't Wait to try this out in about 20 minutes.. Nice work cubed!
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Very nice man! Looks really good! I know there was a lot of hard work involved with it!
[LG Revolution] bwhxeon:
ok so I must be missing something, used to the old red recovery from my fascinate, I can't seem to reboot back to the os while in recovery without pulling my battery. I select reboot and it just shows the hat icon. Hitting power button puts me back in the menu and so does the back button.

Also it seems no key combination will let me into recovery from a powered off state.
[LG Revolution] nick99wj:
Not sure if this will help....but it def gave me a good understanding of the menus and what not

[LG Revolution] bwhxeon:
thanks, pulled the battery and now the menu is working in recovery, power button+ volume key still doesn't get me into recovery, but using the app works, good enough for now.
[LG Revolution] chiperic:
It's power button + volume DOWN combo, if you didn't know.
[LG Revolution] thermal_tim:
Great job cubed! Rooting my wifes phone tonight. Came together very nicely. Great work!
[LG Revolution] mr_knowie:
TheCubed, Patron Saint of the Revo! From now on, my phone will be referred to as "Cube", in your honor.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Yep! This app will make it easy for you to go back to stock recovery if needed. It will also allow you to update to the latest version of Clockwork when I release it in a few days (fixes like allow using the capacitive buttons, mounting USB storage in clockwork, and a fix to allow use of the stock LG SIM fixer)
[LG Revolution] Carbon_Rink:
Cubed... i ran it and nothing happend.. i see it say revo stock, and then i say install recovery. i pick the newest one and right away it through up the congrats banner, but if i look it still says Installing Recovery in bold... and has been sitting for 20 minutes now.. and there is nothing... should i try again?
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Press the check installed version, see what version it says...

(You may have to scroll down to see the output)
[LG Revolution] Carbon_Rink:
!!Revo Stock!!

I let it sit for a good 30 minutes!
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Try this: close the app with a task killer (or just force stop application from in settings)

and try re-running and installing clockwork.

It shouldn't take 30 mins, on a 2mbps connection it should only take about a minute or two.
[LG Revolution] Carbon_Rink:
Did it again.. closed app from settings, reopened > turned on debug> ran install Clockwork Recovery > right away it says installed and then sits..on the screen it still says running script.... and that is it.. same thing as last time.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
take a screencapture (or a picture of the screen) and post it here if you can. I'm heading out for a little while (gonna go see Transformers), but when i get back, I'll take a look at it for you.
[LG Revolution] bwhxeon:
plot spoiler, decepticons fight autobots.

thanks for the tool, curious though when I used clockwork before the process to install a rom was place it on the sd card root and in clock work use the install zip from sd card option. Same for this version?
[LG Revolution] aodsicon:
I am having difficulty rebooting into recovery. The app says it had installed the recovery successfully and then when I go to "menu" and "reboot to recovery" my phone simply reboots and I end up back at the home screen. Any suggestions? Thank you for all your hard work.
[LG Revolution] Brksy86:
so this is my first rooted phone and use of Clockwork, I had assumed that your tookit for revo flash recovery just replaced the step/option of clicking the "flash ClockworkMod Recovery" button before are able to click "Backup Current Rom" for a reset point. But when I click backup it still tells me that I need to flash CWM Recovery before I can do a backup. So did I misunderstand what this app was supposed to do?

Edit: After just seeing what rebooting in recovery does, I found the option that allowed me to do a backup, is this the same as doing it from the actual CWM application? Like if I were to come back after deleting some stuff and click try to restore with this backup im currently making, it will be back to this state? sorry very new to this and just curious how your toolkit and CWM work together, even though I have a feeling it should be fairly self explanatory
[LG Revolution] bken620:
Thanks for all your hard work, this is absolutely amazing, and it has really helped me a lot.
[LG Revolution] trikemis:
Need a hand

I would like to give a big thanks to Cubed...Thanks.
[LG Revolution] Torin_93:
Is this safe to install if we already have clockwork? That way we can update if there are updates available.
[LG Revolution] nfederic:
Awesome job! Thanks!
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
The item "Backup Current ROM" is an option in ROM manager. ROM Manager DOES NOT work on this phone. To be able to make backups, install my application, use it to install Clockwork, then reboot into recovery from either the power+voldown method, or use my app's "Reboot Recovery" function.

Yep. That's one of the primary reasons for this app existing, considering there's a few updates coming very soon.
[LG Revolution] fefniir:
Just installed it on mine, does exactly what it's supposed to do. Wonderful work!
[LG Revolution] thermal_tim:
Same here! Worked great for me. I had a stock unrooted revo. Rooted, installed revo toolkit, pushed 1.1, lockscreen and battery mods. Absolutely epic. Great job!

Wanted to note something:

Cubed saved my phone from a funky bricked to fastboot that seemed to be caused by a bad cable, "not a failure to follow directions" (cubed himself). He pushed a version of CWM that was made to recover the revo from this bricked to fastboot problem. SO, I say all this to make this point: When you install the new program, and check for current recovery, it will say there isn't one found. It will still work to reboot to recovery. I am not sure if it will work to update CWM since it says there isn't one. I just wanted to throw this out there to help anyone else who may have gone down this same road.

Cubed, do you know if the CWM I have be able to be updated through your app??? No rush, you have a MILLION things we all know you are working on, and I am all set for now, couldn't be happier. I can get to CWM from your app AND with pwr/vol down during boot method.

Thank you again, I did all that to my wife's phone in less than 40 minutes. Truly appreciate all you do!
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
The version you have is the only unlisted version in the repo, and yep, it's safe to upgrade when a new version comes out.

To anyone else though, unless you bricked to fastboot and recovered-- if your "Installed CWM Version" says Unknown, post here, as there is something wrong.

Also, wow! 300+ downloads in a day! That's awesome!
[LG Revolution] trikemis:
Running Hot

Every since I've installed the CWR and the ROM my phone has been running hot. Any one else w/ these issues? 122F on idle.
[LG Revolution] tylerdurden531:
I installed the revo toolkit on my phone, but when i go to install the new cwm recovery, it tells me that it installs successfully, but on the screen it just keeps saying "installing recovery..." Please help
[LG Revolution] thermal_tim:
300 downloads?! Congrats! It is so easy to use. Thank you for the quick reply about upgrading.
[LG Revolution] edwalsh:
Installed this morning. Was a very smooth procedure, 10 minutes maybe?; looking forward to some Gingerbread! Great work!
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
How is that gb theme coming along?
[LG Revolution] trikemis:
Stuck

Cubed you around to meet up as IOMonster
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
When I press install clockwork, it pops up right away that the install was successful. However, when I check the version it still says revo stock..
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Have you tried rebooting into recovery and seeing where it goes?
[LG Revolution] tylerdurden531:
I have the same issue. I rebooted into recovery mode, but it just reboots the phone like normal and ends up on my normal home screen. I'm going to try uninstalling and reinstalling the revo toolkit app
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
Yeah once. It just did a normal reboot despite selecting reboot to recovery.

Edit: tried to redownload and try again. Still no luck. App size is very small at 36k
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
The app is only 36k, it acts as a downloader-- you must click "Install Clockwork" in this app.

If you don't see a "checking for root permissions" dialogue box, your phone isn't rooted (or isn't rooted correctly).
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
it asked for the su permission. i allowed it, then the "successfully installed" box popped up right away. confirmation still states "stock revo"
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Hmm, did you root with superoneclick or manually?

One thing to try is open settings, then check "Re-Extract Assets" and "Debug Mode" and try again. Don't worry, "Re-Extract Assets" won't stay checked, it's a one-time option.

After selecting those options, try the install clockwork button again.
[LG Revolution] tylerdurden531:
I rooted my phone manually using the windows command prompt and android sdk toolkit. Superuser installed just fine as well as root explorer, busybox, & titanium backup.
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
I will try this. I rooted using superoneclick. I've got su and busybox installed
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
No luck.. :(

Btw it's trying to install 4.0.0.1-pr1 if that's any help
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Manual method works 100% of the time. If you need some help getting it on there, I might be able to assist you later tonight when you (and I) have some time.
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
Dude i would love that since I'm adb retarded, but I have a Mac.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Ah - yeah... that seems to be the Achilles heel of everything adb. The hands are kind of tied when it comes to a Mac.
[LG Revolution] Young Dc:
Cube i forgot to let you know after flashing your fix for the stuck in Cwr.

I have tried to get it stuck again and can't stick it anymore so good job on the fix..
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
For all those unable to use this app, an update is coming soon.

The problem lies in the location of the "busybox" binary.

If you're able to adb shell into your phone, type "ls /system/bin/busybox".

It should return some output. If not, that means that you don't have busybox installed properly (which this app requires).
[LG Revolution] smokedkill:
I rooted through adb and can't get this to actually install clockwork. It says it installed buy then still says it's installing. It wont boot into recover, just boots normally.

I also wonder if cubed is the only person developing for the revolution or are there other developers we don't know about who are making roms right now.
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
when i rooted, i downloaded busybox by stericson from the market. is that sufficient?

edit: i just changed the location of the busy box installation. it comes as an option in stericson's app. i'll post if it works now!
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
It may have put busybox in /system/xbin ... my next version will check where busybox is located.

If you can, adb into your phone and see if you have a /system/bin/busybox
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
i just moved the busybox installation from xbin to bin and verified with root explorer. still no luck. tried the re-extract and debug mode too along with a reboot.

side note: busybox installation version is 1.18.4
[LG Revolution] smokedkill:
Ok, I have it working now. Had to move Busybox from xbin to bin. This is why its good to have Root Explorer, along with many other reasons also. If you haven't already purchased Root Explorer, I highly recommend it. This problem was fixed very easily once I Cubed explained what the problem was.

Now I can begin looking into the boot animation more since it doesn't appear to be a normal boot animation.
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
Got it! Reverted back to busybox 1.17.1 and it worked. Gonna flash decrap when I get a home!
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
i'm running into every problem known to man. i can't connect my phone via usb mass storage because i deleted something i wasn't supposed to.. now it appears (from root explorer) that i don't have a /clockwork/backup directory... wtf?! i have decrap on my sd ready to go!!
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
If you're looking in root explorer, it'll be /sdcard/_ExternalSD/clockworkmod/backup
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
yeah it's not there... should i just manually make it? clockworkmod is working properly though.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
If you've never made a clockwork backup, the folder won't exist.

Make the folders, then just extract the .zip file to the backup folder.

In root explorer, you'd end up with something like this:

/sdcard/_ExternalSD/clockworkmod/backup/revo_decrap-1.1/

Inside the revo_decrap-1.1 folder, you'd see two files, and two files only (nandroid.md5 and system.img).
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
trying this now. will keep you posted. thanks for all the help.
[LG Revolution] Squiz0329:
Another way to create the backup folder is to simply go into clockworkmod, and backup from there. Worked swell for me.
[LG Revolution] Cutterstark:
Install unsuccessful

Same issue here, I install CM, it immediately says install successful, then when I check version it is still Revo Stock.

When I do Debug and Re-Extract Assets the screen says

Installing Recovery

Running script: [Ljava.lang.String;@463afec8

but that is it

Eric
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
Do you have busybox installed from the market?
[LG Revolution] smokedkill:
Move move Busybox from /system/xbin to /system/bin. That was the problem that I had. Using Root Explorer is the easiest way to do this.
[LG Revolution] Cutterstark:
Wow, you guys are quick. I moved busybox to the/bin folder, but still same result. I guess I'll try installing using adb

Eric
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Make sure busybox is set executable... sometimes moving a file removes it's permissions...

Also, new version will auto-detect location of busybox to avoid all this foolishness :)
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
What version busybox are you using? You just need to download busybox installer by stericson. Use busybox 1.17.1 and install to bin not xbin. No need to adb!
[LG Revolution] Cutterstark:
Worked

OK, I was using the stericson installer, but changing it to 1.17 worked. Thanks
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
Awesome. Glad to finally help someone.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Ah! Really? It's that easy? I've been having people factory reset their device when this problem occurs. I'll be sure to add this to the "troubleshooting" thread I'm about to create :)
[LG Revolution] rpatrick:
Is there an easy way to uninstall CWM? sorry if i missed it
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Use RevoToolkit to flash "!!Revo Stock!!"
[LG Revolution] smlsteve:
Followed directions exactly as stated in the guide !!Revo Stock !! is listed but does not install anything after you start the process just says running scriptrunning script:{Ljava.lang.string:@463c10f0.

And thats in nopartitioning or anything going on like in the screenshots posted here! Please help if you can. Thanks my phone is rooted using the SuperOneClick method. Thanks
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Try unchecking debug mode, turning on re-extract assets, and then reboot your phone.

That might help...
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
are you trying to install cwm or stock?
[LG Revolution] smokedkill:
Make sure busybox is in /system/bin and not /system/xbin. That was the problem i was having. You can use root explorer to move busybox if that's the case.
[LG Revolution] tjac357:
Install busybox 1.17.1 and you'll be good. Same thing happened to me. Backing up everything now, then V1.1!!
[LG Revolution] Hiphopular:
That worked perfect! Thank you!!!
[LG Revolution] iuvenesco:
Worked flawlessly thanks for the hard work
[LG Revolution] jrf28:
So this may be a dumb question, but I installed it and everything worked fine. Now I am in CWM and backed up my data. How do I get out of CWM? Thanks!
[LG Revolution] S.Meezy:
Back out to the first screen and the. Top option should be something like reboot system ...
[LG Revolution] jrf28:
I tried that and it takes me straight back into CWM.
[LG Revolution] S.Meezy:
and you didn't delete anything, just made a backup ?
[LG Revolution] jrf28:
Correct. Went to backup and restore, selected backup, then went back to the main screen and selected reboot system. It just takes me back to CWM.
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Try recovering your back up. If that doesn't work, flash the zip from thecubed in the reboot to recovery thread.
[LG Revolution] jrf28:
Recovering did not work.

I have the de-crap zip/extracted files from thecube on the sd card but not in the /clockworkmod folder as there was not one at the time because I had not backed anything up yet. Since it is not extracted into that folder I can't use the advanced restore option. I've read a few places of phones getting bricked by installing zips from SD using CWM. Is this still the best option. There is also an update.zip file on the sd card.
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Do you know anything about adb?
[LG Revolution] jrf28:
No, unfortunately.
[LG Revolution] S.Meezy:
What happened when you recovered? do you have any way of taking the SD out and putting it in another phone/micro to SD adapter/etc to get the file in the right place?
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
That is exactly what I was about to say! Use an sd card adapter to put the file on the sd card, and create the right files then flash decrap
[LG Revolution] jrf28:
It says "MD5 Mismatch"
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Did you extract it on the computer then put it in the proper file? Make sure there weren't too many folders also.
[LG Revolution] jrf28:
Tried downloading again and re-extracting. Copied everything over to the external SD. It said "Md5 mismatch again." Downloaded the zip for the AOSP Lock screen from thecubed and installed. Everything seemed to load fine, it told me to wipe the dalvik cache and reboot. Did that, rebooted, back at CWM.
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
I would check the stuck in clockwork thread and try that
[LG Revolution] jrf28:
Thanks will do. I found another zip that is supposed to get you out of the CWM loop. I will try that when I get home from work and post the results afterwards.

EDIT: I downloaded the zip file from the stuck in CWM thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=15501302#post15501302

Installed per instructions and everything is working fine now. I also figured out the reason for the "Md5 mismatch" error. When Windows extracted the files it created a folder within the folder that I copied. For example /revo_stock/revo_stock/(files). Thanks for your help guys!
[LG Revolution] jack danials:
awesome work thank you
[LG Revolution] rajshah808:
md5 doesnt match

I messaged cube about this, and I don't remember the exact error i got, but when i ran the app, it said FATAL ERROR.. the md5 doesn't match up and not to reboot my phone. What am I supposed to do?
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Kill the app and try launching it again and doing an install clockwork.

The server I'm hosting the files on was undergoing some work today, and it's possible that you caught it right as the changes were being applied.
[LG Revolution] rajshah808:
it says recovery successfully installed! but when i check the installed recovery version it still says version not found
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Give it another try.. if that doesn't work, turn on debug mode and click "check version" and write back here what it says under "Installed Recovery MD5"
[LG Revolution] rajshah808:
This is what I'm getting:

Current Recovery MD5: efeebdda98ec1d7fb2ad83d23f0713bf

Installed Recovery Versin: Version Not Found
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Out of curiosity, are you using 3g/4g to install this? If you are, try using wifi.

If not, try using 3g/4g to install...

Everything looks good from my side of things, and nothing's changed here, so I'm going to suspect your connection is weird.

Not sure what that md5sum is of, but I can take a guess and say that your recovery partition is blank.

If you're feeling adventurous, try the steps here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=15456239 to install clockwork manually. It's not that hard, and it might be what you have to do to get back up and running again.
[LG Revolution] rajshah808:
thanks a lot! it worked when I did it manually
[LG Revolution] any1else:
Yikes, I got the same error:

FATAL ERROR

The MD5sum of the installed recovery and the stored MD5sum do not match!....

Guess I need to go try ADB for the first time.

Edit: I got it to work. I tried killing the Revo app and running again - same error. On the 3rd try, instead of killing the app, I just pressed "Install CWR". Now the version checks out.

P.S. Thanks for all your work thecubed!

Now on to de-crap.
[LG Revolution] casca_the_immortal:
So first of all let me say... THANK YOU :)

That said... <grin> I have a problem!

I installed your program RevoToolkit and it did install Clock work recover, but nothing works in rom manager... So basically if I go to Browse Roms, or anything it says "Clock Work Recovery must be installed" and if I say "install cwr" it asks me which phone I have (but it's not on the list).

I know this stuff is all really not ready for primetime, just wondering if I'm doing something wrong? I downloaded Rom Manager off the market...
[LG Revolution] ozymandiaz:
I believe he wrote this program because we can't use Rom Manager yet. This could be why Rom Manager isn't working for you.
[LG Revolution] RegnierD:
I believe we need to be included in the Rom Manager manifest and have some support from Koush himself to get it up and rolling.
[LG Revolution] patsoxfan:
Having this problem also just keeps rebooting into normal startup.

I did have a problem when I was stuck in fastboot followed instructions to get out. It booted into CWM once but now it will sit (seems like it is trying) but reboots to normal boot.
[LG Revolution] Techluv:
A big thank you..

Hi I'm EXTREMELY new to the XDA world as well as the root realm...

But after extensive lurking as an ANON and looking over ALL of the info that you and the splendid folks here at XDA have shared I can say that my root experience has been an absolute DREAM!

Thank you to TheCubed for all of your generousity and GENIUS that you bring...

And to everyone else that have lent a hand in sharing the information to have a better phone experience!

If it were not for my limit finances, I would gladly donate - sadly living from paycheck to paycheck at the moment prohibits me in doing so.

I started out absolutely terrified to root my phone - but with all of you good folks here, I've enjoy the benefits of taking the plundge!!!

Thank you thank you to you all!!

My Revolution is now setup the way it was ment to be.....Feature rich, quicker, without limits and dare I say - better battery life?? (seems that way anyway!)

I hope that someday/somehow I can contribute to the cause and help others here as I have been helped!

:)
[LG Revolution] FynxSyndct:
Tried running this today. I'm getting a md5 mismatch. Anyone else having this problem?

Tried to adb it too, now I think my mmcblk0p14 is missing or zeroed, but backed up. I could careless as long as I get CWR on it sometime soon.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
If you keep getting md5 mismatch, try flashing revo stock over wifi, or if you're on wifi, try 3g. The server I'm hosting on has recently changed it's DNS entries, so your phone may have cached the old ones, or may be trying something totally weird.

ADB instructions are pretty easy, just copy+paste :)
