Rom Manager has a rom for the HTC Doubleshot too

I'd say Doubleshot is looking mighty good with official CWM recovery and CM7

I saw it and about sh+t myself. Today is great day for doubleshot community.

I am also very new to this. So what about the current Modaco CWM Recovery 4.0.0.9? It will still be there but it won't be used? Do we also access nandroid backups from ROM manager? (So in other words, will we only do everything with ROM manager from now on?)

ROM Manager is just a way to access CWM Recovery. If you flash the official CWM Recovery, it will overwrite Modaco's version.

Woot. No more charging issues. Thanks for the heads up.

It feels like my birthday...

I know rite? First, I figured out how to jungle with noc on LoL, and now this? Wins all around.

Installed new recovery through rom manager, to 5.0.2.7 and rebooted into recovery.
All seems well.
BUTTTTTTTT when i tried to do a backup of my current virtuous rom i get an error: "can't mount target path"
And then when testing the restore i get an error: "can't mount path /sdcard"
And when testing the wipe & format options, instead of the traditional Yes or No.... I now have like 10 No options and 1 Yes option.
Something seems bogus, ive reinstalled the recovery twice but same effect.
Anyone??
Whats happened to my recovery guys???

Flashing a Recovery image from a Mac?

I've just rooted my GSII LTE and want to flash a recovery image now but I only have access to a Mac at the moment. Is it a bad idea to use Rom Manager; I hear a lot of people warning to stay away from it these days. Is there another way I can flash a custom recovery from a Mac?
Thanks.

Odin for mac I guess.
Either that or windows virtual machine/bootcamp.

If you rooted then use goo manager to flash twrp. After that you could flash any recovery in our Dev section, as long as its in .zip format

how did you root? didnt you first install cwm to flash the su files, if so you have a custom recovery already installed, now you can just use zip files to install a diff recovery or do what cdshepherd stated

CWM recovery problems and how to install .img recovery files

Two questions:
1. How do i flash the new touch recovery without using rom manager (.img file from clockworkmod site)?
2. I installed the latest non touch recovery (with rom manager) but it's causing me problems. Every time i install a new rom I can't boot into recovery. I had to use LG flash tool to reinstall the stock v21e gingerbread and start all over again. Then i installed CM10 (which didnt work) and recovery didn't work again so i had to flash with LG flashtool again. Why is this happening?

With Cm10 I also had problem entering recovery, to enter recovery I've had to remove usb cable, then hold power button for 10sec( to have phone completely off) and then hold 3D+vold down+ power. Was releasing power when have backlight and holding buttons until entering recovery. Hope it will help. For me it works.

Have you tried an older recovery? I'm on CWM 5.0.2.0. Installed with Recovery Manager: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23474089

The older recovery works fine, but that's not the point. I cant think of a single reason why is this happening with the newest version.
So does anyone know how to flash those .img files? Maybe from terminal emulator?

Yeah, you need to use Terminal emulator.
Instructions:
1. Put it on the root of the internal sdcard
2. Open Terminal App
3. Run :
Code:
su
Then
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096
4. Reboot and now it would work !

^ Don't know why, but it didn't work for me. Maybe it's needed to install the regular non-touch recovery and then the touch one?
Edit: Nope, that wasn't it. Is CWM 6.0.1.9 for our phone broken? I can't get it to work whatever I try (Recovery Manager or flashing thru Terminal). So I got back to CWM 5.8.1.5 Touch.

I managed to get the latest recovery running. But as soon as I install another rom it stops working. Weird.

i have the same problem with my p920, flashing the newest CWM 6.0..1.9 and trying to reboot into it bricks the device...
i wanted to try out CM10, but i'm stucked on the lg logo after flashing it ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35439373&postcount=721 )

Try this (it's toooo easy) . It worked for me (in GB ) :-

And about flashing the .img . you can flash the .img with omap4boot when the phone in fastboot mode ( this what you should do with ICS) .
Maybe change the twrp.img or cwm.img with the recovery you want to flash . Maybe I'm not sure .

Hit Thanks Button If I Helped

I had the same problem.
The latest CWM recovery (6.0.1.9) bricked my phone upon restart.
I had to flash a new rom to get it working, tried to entrer CWM recovery and it bricked again.
Finally reverted to stock recovery, i'm thinking about flashing CMW 5 again.
Can someone tell me which is the latest 5 version?

^ 5.8.1.5 Touch.
I couldn't make CWM 6.0.1.9 to work (non-touch and touch). Managed to boot into it temporarely, but that's all.

i am using CWM 6.0.1.9 with no problem. it works fine, also i am using CM10.

I used that one to flash stock recovery, it works great.
But I think it includes CWM Recovery version 5.2.0.7, not 5.8.1.5.

I prefer non-touch, I find it more reliable.

If you have any problems with ClockworkMod 6.0.1.9
You can not install the CM10 or Jelly Bam
You have the bootloader locked.
I had the same problem and I unlocked the bootloader.
Now everything works perfectly.

I've searched and Googled... I can't find this at all. How do I update my CWM?? I'm on 6.0.2.3. I hear there is a 6.0.2.8

If you haven't already, download Rom Manager from the play store here.
Open the app, and go to the Recovery Setup section and you can update it from there.

I'm going to recommend that you DO NOT use the dd method posted above. Its dangerous. If you were to type the wrong partition, you could very easily brick your device.
If you want to use an img, use heimdall to flash it, otherwise create a tar/tar.md5 and flash it with odin
Or use rom manager
Or....find some other way....dd is dangerous http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix)

I just updated via ROM Manager to Clockwordmod 6.0.2.9 and once I booted into recovery and did a backup, I was unable to reboot the system. I was able to reboot the phone via power + home button power on and installed Clockworkmod Touch 6.0.2.9. I also had the same problem with Clockworkmod touch where it wouldn't reboot the phone.

is this a known issue with the latest CWM? i ran into the recovery loop, too.

Using EZ Recovery and those recovery img files at that link work for me to get an older recovery installed. Also verified that I can successfully reboot the phone from recovery again.

[Recovery][Unofficial]TWRP 2.7.0.0 & Clockwork Recovery Touch 6.0.4.4 W/loki (D800)
Clockwork recovery touch with Loki for AT&T LG G2 (D800) Only.
TWRP recovery touch with Loki for AT&T LG G2 (D800) Only.
The only difference between official recoveries and this version is that Loki is built in to recovery.
THIS IS ONLY FOR 10d FIRMWARE. IF YOU ARE ON 10o THEN DO NOT USE!!!
You may want to flash 10d firmware. It can be found HERE with instructions. If you plan on using ROMs it is best to flash 10d firmware first.
Install Methods
Flashable Zip - Must have TWRP or whatever custom recovery already installed.
Boot into recovery and flash Recovery Zip file.
Manual Method - With no custom recovery already installed.
Must have Root first. Check HERE for root
Download the zip file to which recovery you want
Extract zip file to C:\
Open command prompt in root of C drive
You will need adb installed and properly setup in your environment variables. If not place the recovery.img wherever your adb file is located.
Type the following commands:
Code:
adb push recovery.img /data/local/tmp/recovery.img
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp
dd if=/data/local/tmp/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
exit
exit
adb reboot recovery
Now you should be in recovery.

I have not tested that way but I am sure you can. If you just need the img file than extract from zip file.

Using flashify works like a charm. Just extract img file and flash using flashify. As a third alternative.

If you been flashing OEM modified ROMs on G2 the speed may have been due to the size of the ROMs.

Will I lose my twrp backups if I flash this clockwork recovery?
If not, then would I be able to restore twrp backups with cwm? May be a silly question but I never tried this and worried about losing backups.

You will not lose them until you delete them but I am not sure if you can restore twrp backups with clockwork.

Does this mount usb-otg? When I try "Mount USB Storage" nothing happens. I am pretty sure TWRP also does not yet support usb-otg. My hopes were CWM did.
Thanks

Adb side load is an alternative for Mount usb. Install Zip --> Install from adb sideload. Unfortunately this didn't work for me either. If it works for any of you guys please let me know the steps you followed. Sideload doesn't work in TWRP also.
In case of a soft brick either Mount usb or adb side load should help. Otherwise you have to go back to stock using Lg tools and start all over again.
