[Q] don't know how to flash recovery on my OB - LG Optimus Black

Hi I have the following problem:
Home button and lock screen button are not working. For example, when I push lock screen button it only turns off screen but does not lock it.
Also my home button is not working anymore.
If somebody has had same issues and know the solution please let me know!
Thanks

Hi. I tried to flash recovery on my OB
follow the tutorial but when I touch the recovery button
on anreboot app it rebooted.
after LG logo, it shows only black screen and 4 led buttons flashing on and off.
Whats wrong on my OB? I recovered my OB, but still can't go inside recovery.
ps. I'm from korea. What my OB differs from your P970s?
can differences crush my result? sorry about my english

Ignore the error and execute the second "dd" command. If you get messages similar to the following, then you may have successfully flashed CWM recovery. You can try again by rebooting to recovery using AnReboot:

You must be sure that your phone is rooted and that usb debug in on. (It seems to be the write rights.)

Yes installation by fastboot
Thanks a lot and wonderful job
so is this better than the clockwork recovery?
will this overwrite clockwork recovery if I already have that installed?
and the most important question:
DOES THIS WORK WITH PS3 JAILBREAK? I heard someone did it with this recovery, I want this to happen with the GT540!!!
I had clockwork now i have amon ra, it will overwrite clockwork when you install it
I've been trying to put this info my phone. But I have a problem.
Phone is ruining in fastboot mode, am typing command in cmd am pressing enter, then my PC reboot :/
Does somebody had the same problem?

Why you do that?
- Put your phone on fastboot mode
- Link it to the pc and turn on adb command
type:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_ra1.7swift.img
and you're done
I did this... I wrote I did. After ENTER the command my PC doing a reboot by itself, before apply recovery in my phone.

Is it working now? If it doesn't, download this: http://www.mediafire.com/?07qod3dg208mb30
Then, put the amon ra file in that folder.
- Put your phone on fastboot mode
- Link it to the pc and turn on adb command
type:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_ra1.7swift.img
you can try this method too (i use it)
1) copy recovery_ra1.7swift.img to sdcard
2) download/install some terminal into your phone.
3) run terminal and write :
Code:
#su
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery_ra1.7swift.img
(or when it's not working:)
flash_image recovery recovery_ra1.7swift.img ;
flash_image recovery "/sdcard/recovery_ra1.7swift.img"
also you can to it in adb shell(connected into PC):
Code:
#su
#adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery_ra1.7swift.img
or
Code:
#su
#adb shell
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery_ra1.7swift.img
Hope this helps. (for me, it helped, because my computer freezes when using "fastboot flash" commands. )
Am reinstalling SDK and will check.
@hani93 thanks for this tut, it can be very helpful for me, cos my PC freezes too :/

no problem.
it should work.
(i googeld it for 4-5 days :S)
now i'm always using this method
I don't have to use fastboot with you method I guess, am I right??
ZduneX25 said:

that's right
just copy recovery image to sdcard (root dictionary) , install some terminal app( in market "terminal emulator" ) and enter commands...
and after that.. when you enter it . and terminal says "flashing recovery" ..or something, and then ends(with new command line)..
something that:
Code:
#su
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery_ra1.7swift.img
flashing recovery...
#
make reboot and hold on home+power, and recovery comes up.
No way, so don't I need rom with fastboot to get recovery?? I just flashed my phone about 2 days ago with ROM+Fastboot to get recovery via fastboot (I lost some data - all angry birds saves).
And you are saying that I could use your method on my previous ROM without Fastboot, am I right??

let me know your probs, mate,
It stops in exactly same place as before, I've done everything stated. And it just won't nudge lol, even used a different computer with sdk installed,and still does it then.
For now ill leave it be, till I can figure it out.
I've flashed back to rom before and using that now as market is stable there.
What's the idea with this internal memory then? As this rom has very little space left lol and could do with the sapce available really
sent from my custom HTC Salsa.
so, do you have cwm ? if you have its fine. i still wonder wht exactly your problem is. if you got market problem, you just go back to your stock rom, leave the chinese rom, and get back to your original rom.
I've gone back to usable rom now. Leave it there for awhile.

[Q] [RESOLVED] Need instructions for installing CWM on ZV8 Rooted

I just need instructions on installing Clockwork on rooted zv8. The AIO does not work for me. It hangs at starting daemon.
Are you in internet connection mode with debugging enable? I know it sounds like a stupid question but I had a brain fart when doing it and forgot that part... doh!
My USB connection is broken, so here is how I did it using terminal emulator.
1) Download the cwmrecovery.img to your SD. ( I downloaded MT's zip file and then extracted all with root explorer, but you only need the cwmrecovery.img file.)
2) Use root explorer to copy or move it to the /data/local/tmp directory (make sure permissions are set to r/w/exe).
3) Launch terminal emulator and type these commands:
su
mount -orw,remount /dev/block/system /system
mount -orw,remount /dev/block/data /data
dd if=/data/local/tmp/cwmrecovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 bs=4096
rm /data/local/tmp/* 2>/dev/null
4) exit terminal emulator and then reboot.
You can then try the vol down+power button combo upon boot to enter CWM.
Good luck.

Then it reboots to a black screen. Clock work never loads. I pull the battery and it reboots normally. It will not reboot to clockwork. It does the same in the screen shot every time I run that batch.

Where do I grab the local.prop and how do I put it in? :x
Same issue here as the rest. Getting "Operation not permitted" and permission errors
As I kept my local.prop as local.prop.bak, I renamed it back and restarted the phone, everything appears to have gone through now.
Thanks MT.

How do you change the permissions of the /data folder to r/w/exe as you mentioned?
I am having a problem because I don't currently have the Local.prop file and I need to add it to that folder but I am getting a permission denied message.

open any root explorer app like ES FILE MANAGER
Delete /system/etc/mm_twrp_recovery folder
Go to /system/bin/ folder
Look for the "chargemon.stock" file - If it's present, delete this one: chargemon - and now, rename the chargemon.stock to chargemon
Look for the "taimport.stock" file - If it's present, delete this one: taimport - and now, rename the taimport.stock to taimport
Reboot
download "recovery fix.zip" from mega.nz
extract the file and run "adbrecoveryfix.exe" the .exe file will install some needed files (normally into C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot\ )
copy the files from the folder "RECOVERY FILES" into the "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" Folder
connect your xperia with the pc
open the "m a a d" folder and then SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK to open a command window
now type:
adb shell
su root
mount -o remount,rw /system
exit
exit
install.bat

don´t forget to press enter after "adb shell", "su root" and so on!
now your recovery will install again without any errors!

Not booting: Stock recovery but root

I´ve got root access on my device but i only have got the stock recovery of android 4.3. I am able to push an twrp recovery image to the tmp partition. Now my question is if i can flash the recovery by "dd if=/tmp/recovery.img of=/dev/????". Which partition is the recovery partition?
Thank you
Edit: I did cat /tmp/recovery.img >/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 and now there is a red string when i try to enter the recovery
@Simon_29
You didn't enter proper commands, Check attachment follow space and symbols.
-Place recovery.img in internal storage
-Download android emulator from playstore
-grant su access
-Type codes from attachment
-change recovery263 with current recovery name
That's it.
NOTE on't type adb shell if you're using terminal in phone.

The clockwork mod install app for the 4x hd was causing this. I now used the twrp manager and even it said that it failed it worked for me. Thanks for your post anyway and that you could solve the error of xda
