Clockwork Recovery 2.5.1.8. Gt540 - GT540 Optimus Android Development

This recovery has had NO faults with me so far. Some people have been saying they got this working on GT540 a while back but had issues. This one is fine. I never noticed if anyone had posted this recovery on here yet so here you are:
How to install:
Power the phone down and then put phone in to fastboot, POWER+Camera.
Plug usb in to PC.
Open CMD.
Put the file in the root of the C drive. (C:\)
In CMD type: cd C:\
Then type: Fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery_clockwork_2.5.1.8_swift.img
Once flash is finished type: Fastboot.exe reboot
As soon as the LG logo appears hold down the home button and wait for your new recovery to appear.

Don't know who uploaded the file originally, but I take no credit for it whatsoever.

Whats advantage of this recovery?

Well it's faster @ Backup of files. Similar restore speed though. Also has the ability to partition your SD straight from the Recovery. Which is a great feature for 2.1 users. There are other new features on it too. Not looked at everything yet, but if you require I'll have a good look tonight.

Ok great i will install tomorrow with my pc

Can this work in Optimus One (LGP500)?

No, there is other recovery for P500: http://modmymobile.com/forums/527-lg-androids/560025-p500-custom-recovery-thunder.html

Well it works without problem sofar

No problems whatsoever.

You need to Wipe before Flashing via ClockworkMod Recovery..
Currently Testing the zImage Flash atm, so I'll likely have an update shortly that lets you flash the zImage as well.

So (just to be clear) Do I download this, rename it to update.zip, then "reinstall" in recovery?
Or do i have to install rom manager, and flash from its boot screen

Don't Rename, well you can... But never rename to update.zip as this is how Clockwork is Used.. You select from install from .zip & select the name...
You and do either
adb reboot recovery from cmd prompt once you Have the update.zip downloaded from Rom Manager
or
You can Flash from Rom Manager.
Hey,
Great work here.
but, one question. I was told by koush during our talks about getting the bricks un-bricked that the only way to flash the baseband/radio was through odin.
does this flash the radio/baseband?
Thanks. Just want to clarify.

Could you make a small tutorial with the steps for installing, i am having trouble to install.
I have ROM 2.1 Baltic, ROOT and APP2SD.

2.Then install the V20B-CIS (this one http://narod.yandex.ru/disk/26353475000/20B_CIS.zip, right)
3. Enter fastboot - CAMERA+POWER (if you saw a black screen with no logos - you fastboot ")
4. Via ADB type fastboot flash recovery <recovery_name>.img (http://narod.ru/disk/26369218000/rec...swift.img.html)

It's simple. Don't unpack the file. Put the file on your Micro SD card, boot into recovery, and tell it to flash the zip file. Once you've done that, you'll have a stock phone again, without recovery or anything.
Surely it won't unroot too though....will it ?!?!?

Sounds like you don't have fastboot. What ROM do you have flashed on your phone? Is it a stock Android version 1.6, 2.1 or do you have a custom ROM 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3? You need a custom ROM with fastboot mode enabled - an explanation of this is beyond the scope of this thread. Try this thread to flash a 2.1 ROM with fastboot enabled. Sorry to be brief but there are tutorials on flashing recovery images and this thread is really just a newsflash for a new release... HTH
I have stock rom 2.1. I did not flash anything yet exept root.

You CAN flash recovery with a non-fastboot enabled ROM. Here's the tutorial:
JackG from MoDaCo said:
Yes there is, make sure you have the fastboot rom flashed and you are rooted, and download something called "flash_image" (from the attachments below) and put it in the root of your SD Card, get your recovery image in the root of the card too.
Then, download Terminal Emulator from the market when it opens press the menu button and select "Toggle Soft Keyboard" when the keyboard comes up type in
CODE
su
cd /sdcard
chmod 755 flash_image
./flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
(Change the recovery.img to the name of your recovery image eg. recovery_clockwork_2.5.1.8_swift.img or recovery_clockwork_2.5.0.5_swift.img)
Then, reboot the phone, and hold down the Menu+Power and you should be welcomed with the Clockwork menu.

CWM recovery?

OK here's the deal, I have my phones boot loader unlocked and its rooted, now I want to install cwm, on all my previous devices I did this through ROM manager but atm our device is not supported there.

Do this but replace the cwm.img in "*\Myth Tools\tools" folder with the one from this thread or just use the one from that thread up front, no need to hassle with replacing files or anything. Go to the thread I linked, download the file, boot your phone into fastboot and run the command from the thread inside the folder the cwm.img is in.

I'm having issues, I can seem to get CWM to install. I have rooted/unlocked. I replaced the cwm with the newer one. I used the myth tool to reboot into Fastboot, while on the unlocked screen, I ran the recovery on the tool. The phone restarted, but I figure out how to get to cwm recovery, or if it even worked.

Don't give up just yet. It's worth it to get custom ROMs on your phone.
Do a search around the forums here and you'll find a custom build of a CWM based recovery by mattlgroff made for this phone. Flash that to recovery with fastboot and you should then be able to flash custom ROMs without fear of screwing up your phone.
You may also want to flash a stock firmware with RSD-Lite. (not the recovery!)
Some users have had issues with GPS not working until after you flash stock and then go to a custom ROM after getting a GPS fix on stock. I don't know if that is still necessary or not, but it's something to keep in mind.

I have tried to flash the latest CWM via the myth tool. I tried flashing as option 1, CWM and option 2, custom recovery. Neither has worked. I about to go crazy. What do I do here?

Just download the recovery file and boot you phone into boot loader, connect phone to PC... In cmd, type "fastboot flash recovery recover_name.img" without quotes and recovery_name being the name of your recovery file..

Just to clarify, do I download it to my cpu or phone? Where do I open cmd, in the folder on Windows for the phone?

Download it to your computer and open command prompt in the folder where both fastboot files and your downloaded recovery file is present...

Tried it this morning, still cannot get cwm to flash. This is very frustrating.
I've tried like 4 more times, using Myth and using command prmt, still only get the stock recovery. What am I not doing?
come on guys, I know somebody can help me here. I'm dying to get PA rom on this phone.

terminal will always work just remember your internal SD card is named sdcard0 and your external is named sdcard1.

Do I have to erase my stock recovery prior to flashing cwm?
