not rebooting on recovery problem - LG Optimus Black

Hi all.
As stated in the subject, I can't reboot into recovery mode using ROM Manager. I'd like to flash CM. but when I try to reboot into recovery to start backup, wipe, flash, nothing happened. It will just stay in ROM Manager.
Tried downloading different version of CWM from the latest version down to v5.0.0.1 but to no avail.
Read some posts regarding this problem saying that I should download v3 something of CWM but when I try to download older CWM version from RM -> All CWM Recoveries, only 5.0.0.1 is the lowest.
Any idea? I really like to flash CM into my OB. Thanks in advance.

Did you flashed alternative recovery? Is the first option in rom manager. be mindful that you have to be connected to the internet ffirst.

Yes did that. Actually from version 5.2.x.x downgrade to v5.0.0.1 doesn't work for me. RM won't take me to recovery mode. It doesn't do anything after a reboot request.
Please help. Thanks for the reply btw.

Is your phone rooted?

Yes. my OB is rooted. got apps working like SetCPU, App2SD, etc...

Try updating the su binary and super user app, or try using supersu. Also, check if rom manager has been granted su access in superuser app.
Try using terminal emulator and the command "reboot recovery"

tried running it in emulator with reboot recovery but it factory resets my phone...

That means you have no recovery installed. Try following a guide in the development section. Just search for it. Install CWM and pray

What about the other suggestions i made? Try checking su and su permissions. And then procceed to flash recovery from rom manager.

Ok, the thing is, my phone goes factory reset and the superuser app, busybox, etc. are lost. can I install superuser app manually? tried it but I just can't add any applications into it for granting access

Downloaded and run the latest SOClick, but it says the phone is rooted and I clicked yes to continue and stuck at Step # 7. don't know what to do after.
Reboot the phone, ran Gingerbreak, took me 10+mins but I think it's not working anymore so I had to reboot the phone as my boss was screaming at me thru skype why he can't contact me...
I'm lost.

there is no method that works with stock 2.3.4 version, I recommend to look for a patched bin and fls files and flash them with smartflash app. I'm not on my PC right now so maybe tomorrow I'll give you the links, but you can try look for them yourself smart flash is stickied and search for v20o patched bin.
FDN

Try any of these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480392 They are patched. I have a patched v20Q but my upstream is slow. If you want to patch by yourself, install Linux.

And here is the smart flash tutorial
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21472502
FDN

And there's a superuser.zip on that thread (instructions). just browse a little.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23790405&postcount=171

@ re4lsk: I'll try downloading those things after work. can't dl here, firewall too strict. many thanks.
@ gabwerkz: salamat kabayan. I'll try those after work. will post updates tomorrow

I did follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23790405&postcount=171
It was a successful flash not until step 14 & 15. when I tried to Wipe data/factory reset and flash superuser.zip respectively, there's no option of YES in the confirmation page...all options are in No..
what will I do?
-edit-
ok found it. successfully flashed now. rebooting phone..can't wait. many thanks to all!

wait, one by one.
1. how you do that root, are you install GingerBreak? do you already execute the ROOT within GingerBreak app?
2. what do you mean by "i go to donwload mode i select google and i've instaled the firs thing", what's that downloaded by select google? and what are installed at first?
3. what did you do that you need to reboot your phone?
I can't help yet because that information still less understandable by me..
1) I rooted with SRP
2) I download rommanager from market
3) I instal from rommanager clockwork mode
4) I enter to rom download in rommanager and there i select the second option and apear a list with rom's (i purpose) and from that list i instaled the first thing.
I send you a image of my display right now

That's because cyanogen mod is still being ported, therefore it will not show up in ROMMANAGER YET. Hopefully in a month other two, we will get it up and running.

About restoring a bakcup on the unofficial CM9

I made a bakcup with ROM manager but when I try to flash it, it says it doesn't have the neccesary permissions to do it. The rom is not root enabled by default, so I guess there's that.
I can't flash it through CWM because it just says "files not found". Any help?.
Our CM9 rom isn't rooted ? I'm sure it is, just check it...
How did you try to flash it ? Via backup or via flash zip ?

Both.
Which version of CWM Recovery do you run ?
I've experienced issues on Tantrums Touch Mod...
5.0.2.6
without root
As was mentioned before, you can't do a backup without Root Permissions.

No, HotFix1 should repair SU but it doesn't.
Well then, I guess I have to wait for the new fix. Thanks for the anwers!.
Just reboot in recovery and do the back up restoration from there.

I can't. You do know that CWM stands for "ClockworkMod" right? (which is the recovery mode).
EDIT: I managed to restore the backup with a different superuser fix. Look for it on the CM9 thread.
I do know what CWM stands for and that's why i did that suggestion. Even though the first build didn't have fully working SU it still had the option to reboot in recovery. When you choose reboot there was reboot and recovery option.
I just happened to do the very suggested thing myself .

Its the method you have to follow while installing Kingdroid if you are already rooted. Not following the steps will cause you to loose root.

[Q] Rooted, no SU Binaries

Hi. I have Android 2.3.6 on my Galaxy Ace. I wanted to root it with upd_1.zip. I used the stock recovery. It said installation complete, so I rebooted. The Superuser icon has appeared in my app drawer so I was very happy that it was successful, but my SuperUser says that I haven't got SU binaries, so I haven't got any root access. I've searched for similar problems, but I didn't find any. What do I do now?

Sorry buddy, never heard of such an issue. I guess you try to Unroot and Root again. U may try xda for some better Root procedure or search my blog www.andro-sapien.blogspot.in.
Do let me know if it is sorted out by Re-Rooting.
pls help
So, I unrooted and rooted and there's the same issue. Original Superuser says - Checking available version failed, so I tried to delete the app data - that didn't work. I updated the Superuser and it says that I doesn't have SU binaries.

I actually have a similar sounding problem but arrived at it differently.
My phone had been rooted and working OK for over a year. At some point the latest superuser binary stopped functioning with adb wireless.
So I downloaded SuperSU a few months ago and it's different binary fixed that particular issue. So all was working fine until failing to update that binary today. I'm now in the same boat as you but don't have a clue how or why.
This 2 files are the same as my upd_1.zip. The very same. My upd_1.zip has xbin with busybox, su etc. but it doesn't want to be flashed for some reason. The only files in my xbin folder (in the phone) are : busybox, dexdump, although I flashed the other needed binaries. What is this? Is this my phone's fault?
@edit : Can I flash CWM without those binaries?

Yes you can, and then you can try to flash root again.
If not you can flash CF-Root (only for Gingerbread!!) maybe it works :S
1º Flash via recovery CWM
http://www.mediafire.com/download/u331vcwkr36c28n/CF-Root-S5830-v3.7-b84.zip
2º Flash via CWM APP, it'll fix the bootanimation
when your android will boot, go to CWM app (in your drawer) and select "Flash kernel" and select this file
http://dfiles.eu/files/1sfl9qotm
I flashed CWM Recovery, and now when I select install zip from sdcard and select root file, it says error 7 - update aborted.
@edit - I found the AceGingerRoot.zip. Is it legit and can I install it on GT-S5830 (it has different MD5 than upd_1.zip and root.zip).

The last firmwares haven't enough space in system partition to push correctly root files, I don't know about your rom, I'm using KTM form Spain as base and I've never had a trouble, but if your problem is that your rom is using all the internal memory (system partition) you couldn't push root files, so you can try deleting ThinkFree from the system partition and then try to root your phone...

if upd_1, acegingeroot, and cf-root didn't work and you want to root your device, the best way is to use Odin and to flash a fresh stock rom which it allows you to flash this files

Oh, I found my ROM on Samfirmware from Play Mobile (XWKTQ 2.3.6), so there's no point of installing it right? I need just a fine ROM with polish language.
EDIT - I almost forgot - I didn't tried the Delete_thinkdroid.zip thingy. I'm gonna flash it now and post the results.

I have already rooted my device using UnLockRoot. I then installed ROM Manager and tried to do Flash Recovery, but it gets stuck at 100% and nothing happens. I have already downloaded the CM version which i want and copied to my SD card. Whats the next step after rooting the phone ?

I had the same probem. You need to try a few times to flash recovery untill Rom Manager will ask for superuser acces. You can also change for superuser acces from "ask" to "allow" in superuser app.

I have tried it several times, its stuck at 100%. When i try to reboot into recovery, my phone does a factory reset, so am guessing the custom flash recovery didnt happen. Any other suggestions ?

It's stuck at 100% because Rom Manager doesn't have root acces.Update your SuperSU,open it: ACCES=GRANT try flash recovery 2-3 times. If doesn't work ACCES=PROMT again 2-3 tries.
Also you can try to backup you current ROM using Rom Manager to see if ask for su acces.
Good Luck!
