recovery-CW3028-OP-thunderc_002.zip
Port to Optimus V
This version is using a beta kernel I am working on. (driver updates from new Optimus-S source, NOOP set default)
Backup and restore tested.
Camera button == Action
Code:
In an ADB shell:
> mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
> cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
> chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
> mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
> mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
> flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
> exit
reboot into recovery (I use QuickBoot, but "adb reboot" works fine as well)
Enjoy!
I'll update more after work.

Badass, thank you!

Cant say 100% as I only used the recovery-thunderc-v-1.2.0-GNM.img recovery (Amon_RA based) once since I've had the OptV.
This is based on CWM source and the stock recovery kernel (for now)
which allows advanced restores etc.
The only other Recovery I see is CWMA which looks like a Xionia kernel and a Amon_Ra/ClockWorkMod hybrid recovery. I know nothing about that recovery, so be sure to try it out and see which you like best.

I've tried xionia I like it to a point that almost all roms will only work with it. I'm currently using 3.0.2.8 from rom repo for the v and like it better. Just wish everyone would use one recovery to develop their roms with.

I'm sorry, but I am having some trouble using the ADB. Where does the .zip file need to be when I type in all of these commands?
Whenever I try to type in the first command (mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system) in the ADB shell it says Operation not permitted. Anyone know how to get around it?
When in adb type su then the command see if that works.

Why not just add terminal directions? much simpler
$ su
# cat /proc/mtd
identify recovery -mines mtd2 - & backup...
# cat /dev/mtd/mtd2 > /sdcard/recovery.img
place the recovery to be flashed on sdcard root (example.img)
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/example.img

here is a method that worked for me.
1. Turn off your phone (if stuck, just remove the battery).
2. At your command prompt, do "adb logcat > logresult.txt".
3. Plug your phone to your usb and power it.
4. After at least 1-2 minutes or until the phone has fully booted up, terminate your logcat session (ctrl+c)

0. Download a ROM and put it on external SD or computer.
1.Backup things you need to a computer
2. Flash TWRP recovery (Idk how to do it on CWM)
2.1 take off external SD (if u have one)
3. Go to wipe and format data and wipe everything. Everything..
4. Now you are left with a phone that has nothing at all..
4.1 return SD, restart TWRP
4.2 put the file from the computer to the device.
5. Flash a fresh ROM
6. now you gotta be fine.

It's related to a corrupt efs partition. Reflashing a rom or factory reset would not solve it.
Google for 'factory mode' to get the solution.

Your EFS is corrupted and your phone is now in Factory Mode. Use Terminal Emulator, which can be downloaded from the Google Play Store, and enter the following commands.
Open terminal emulator and type;
su
rm /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
rm /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
reboot
I hope you have a backed up EFS image because you will need it.to replace the corrupted one. Find Dr.Ketan's posts for that.

I tried all the other methods and suggestions. Finally I tried this one and it worked. The post is in another language, but the code works. Don't worry if terminal tells you bla bla bla not found, just keep typing in the next code. When you reboot, factory mode will be a thing of the past.
how this gonna work ? mind helping me out ?
Did you try pulling the battery? How do you know if you're stuck in factory mode?
You want have lock screen and a small box with system info will be on display
sent from Notetorious B.I.G.
Holy crap finally I'm out of this DAMN factory mode.. Nothing else worked!
I got in there initially by trying to repair my EFS partition.
Thank you thank you thank you.
I really appreciate the help here. I had a i605 that had that annoying Factory Mode box because I messed up my EFS folder with Root Explorer. Now at least I have a baseband and 000000000's for my ESN. Much appreciative to the developers who share their knowledge with us.
FIX for getting out out of Factory Mode-Must be rooted
Might as well post the fix since it does work.
From terminal emulator or adb shell
su
rm /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
rm /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
reboot

Q&A for How to Root KVT49L.D85110r and Install TWRP. My experience
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for How to Root KVT49L.D85110r and Install TWRP. My experience. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.

Did you do the ls/temp on su # command? It will give you all files on the /temp folder. If you do not see the twrp recovery.img there.. it means that the recovery.img was not pushed into the /temp folder on step 8.
Another question? What do you mean about that you want you root back? Do you have root before? Do you a custom recovery before?IS IT TWRP? If so ...it is easy...just move the updatesupersu2.40.zip file to you sdcard and install it in your custom recovery
