Clockwork recovery

Has anyone successfully installed clockwork recovery on the continuum? I was tempted to try the fascinate instructions
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App

I have used Titanium Back up with success

Okay, I can officially say that the Fascinate Clockwork Recovery does not work... Fails on "updating from Verizon" or something similar.... Then reboots... Is that Clockwork or the standard recovery?
Okay, I did not backup my stock recovery (stupid stupid stupid stupid), so can anyone get me that file and tell me which directory I need to shove it in?

I cannot remember the process to backup the recovery. What do you need me to do?

Use root explorer or something similar, find the recovery file and copy it... Attach it here and let me injure what directory it was in... Please... I appreciate any help...

Or let me know... Somehow Swype changed that to injure...

I believe its more than just a file, you have to flash it.

If you know why the directory is I can post the files. Man, we really need some devs...
Also, you can might not need to flash it, but you would probably need to use ABD then.

Was informed that we could use dump_image to pull it and then flash_image to reflash. Trying to get ADB working at the moment. Typing on the phone is terrible.

The typing isn't that bad if you use swype or SwiftKey. Is there anything I can do to help?

OK this is the best I can do I think.
I dumped the recovery block with the awesome help from Da_G]NARF[ on the XDA IRC chan.
AFAIK this should fix it.
Extract boot.rar
Copy boot.bin to your sdcard
Unmount the SDcard if you copied from your computer.
Open a terminal either with ADB shell or im assuming a term emulator would work.
SU for root privs. then use this command:
Code:
dd if /dev/block/bml1 of=/sdcard/boot.bak bs=4096
This will backup your current one.
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/boot.bin of=/dev/block/bml1 bs=4096
This will rewrite with the new one.
Reboot.

If you can pull the stock recovery and post it, that would be great...
Otherwise, could one of you try booting into the stock recovery and see what it does... I tried to load the Fascinate Clockwork using ROM Manager and I'm not sure if it actually did anything or not... I don't think Clockwork would check with Verizon for updates.... All I have experience with is Amon Ra on my Eris..... Would be great if it just failed to change it.....

Awesome, thanks...
Looks like it worked... I guess I might not know for sure until the 2.2 OTA comes out.... Fingers crossed...

I've been working on porting clockwork. After running
Code:
build/tools/device/mkvendor.sh device_manufacturer_name device_name /your/path/to/the/boot.img
with the path substitution, I get
Code:
unpackbootimg not found. Is your android build environment set up and have the host tools been built?
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I am new to these forums Well, i have been looking around here for a while for my Continuum phone, i just haven't said anything
I may be completely wrong... But do these steps (The ones in the beginning) install Clockwork? Or is that for something completely different?
and this is probably the wrong place to ask... But in order to install the Voodoo lagfix, you need Clockwork, right?
Thank you for your help everyone

Well this the right place to ask, and the steps you see are steps to flash the stock recovery back. Also, yes, we do need clockwork for voodoo.

Has anyone other than Weudel tried using this supposed stock recovery?

I'm using a Terminal Emulator on my phone trying to run the command to backup my current boot image. I'm typing "su" first for root privileges then typing "dd if /dev/block/bml1 of=/sdcard/boot.bak bs=4096" but I'm getting an error saying uknown operand if. Help?
Nevermind, I've discovered the problem. The code to backup your current boot image is "dd if=/dev/block/bml1 of=/sdcard/boot.bak bs=4096". There was an equal sign missing in the post above.

So I've completed the steps listed above and was under the impression this would restore my phone to stock. However, I still don't have the Verizon bloatware I deleted. Did I not understand what this process was meant to accomplish?

Superwiped without rom

Hi!
I think I may have bricked my phone. I superwiped but I forgot to put a ROM
so now I have nothing on my phone.
Can I flash a ROM from my computer to my phone?
Thx in advance!

Flash a stock image using the Google images, then you can re-flash a custom one

If you still have cwr, mount USB in cwr, put a rom on there, flash from. If you don't have a recovery, you should be able to adb push the recovery file and flash through boot loader, then mount USB in recovery, copy rom to phone, flash.

look at thread that has the odin stock rom

If you're a n00b then why on earth did you unlock the phone in the first place? Surely you should've researched what you were doing in case something like this happened?

all is very easy to fix
1. Change ROM name to rom.zip
adb shell
mount /data
exit
adb push rom.zip /data/media
Now reboot into recovery and flash ROM.

Its all in here

This has helped me out twice already, and its where the factory images will be when the OTAs start, so of you're impatient and want them as soon as you can get them here

Did adb work before? Sounds like the drivers aren't installed properly
And if you are trying to use the images from what I linked earlier you need to be in fastboot not adb

Need Help Desperately! LGOG Stuck in CWM

Something happened to my phone while it was in my pocket tonight, I pulled it out after work and it's on the CWM main screen it tried to install some update zips that failed and now I can't reboot my phone, so it's pretty screwed up right now.
I can't seem to mount USB storage so it appears on my laptop, I figured if I could do that it would be as simple as flashing a new ROM but it doesn't seem to work.
Any help is appreciated, I will be watching the thread since I need this phone to work as I use it as my primary line.
I seem to have ADB access and my 3 backup files from FreeGee, they are aboot-sprint-backup, boot-sprint-backup and recovery-sprint-backup. Are those what I need to use to restore my phone and where do I flash each image to?

Do you have a ROM on your SD currently and have you wiped system.

No I've never flashed a rom yet on my phone, was waiting for a more polished CM10.1. I've also wiped everything I can, system, davlik, cache, battery stats, fixed permissions.
What may have happened, and I'm not sure how it ended up into recovery mode, was I had the system update notification popping up and I kept hitting install later. Now some how my phone just unlocks itself and accepts and installs the update?! I have no idea, this phone quite literally has a mind of its own. It does complex operations with no one inputting commands.

Lgnpst might be the way to go. Hit up the irc.
Edit: don't leave your phone in recovery too long. You might hard brick.

I actually just found the side load a zip on the menu so I'm gonna try that as soon as I get a rom downloaded.
Edit: Sideload had no effect, I sideloaded the ZVB Stock Rooted Rom and it still only reboots into CWM.

The guys over at the irc are way smarter than I am. Head over there. They'll fix you up.

The issue is the reboot to recovery flag is set in your misc.
Run these commands from an adb shell to clear it:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc of=/data/media/misc-bad-backup.img
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc bs=1 count=1088

Yeah man I feel like the new kid at school.lol. but so much better phone. I did not care for the note 3. So many hardware issues. But loving this beast. Good to see you here. Can't wait to start flashing lol.

Failed the first time, but I tried it again and all worked perfectly. Ran it on Mac OS X 10.9.
Had to change the phone to PTP mode since it defaults to MTP for adb to see it.
Thank you!!!

Just run the adb commands from the root method in the root thread
adb reboot --bnr_recovery
adb push ./assets/start_restore /temp/start_restore
adb push ./assets/permaroot.bin /temp/start_restore

It's really simple, then install the twrp recovery.img with flashify

Same here. I searched for a guide for first timers on LG. It is very different

So I'm rooted and have TWRP now. I know I'm rooted cause exposed framework installed and quickboot app works fine but there's no notification for root request. Is a seperate app needed?
