[Q] What is the most stable CWM version for the LG P500/P509?

Hey everyone, I've been having my second brick dilemma over the past 24 hours. It seems that the latest version available via ROM Manager hasn't been installing correctly for Optimus One users (I've seen multiple cases). I'm very weary in trying to install CWM through RM again, and I want to know what the latest stable version you guys have is. Either that, or a recovery similar to CWM and can install CM10 again for me.

CWM 5.0.2.0, I have been using it for ten months without a single issue.

Alright. Do you know where I can find the recovery image? I don't trust ROM Manager to install it, as that's the one that was being installed when my phone bricked.

There's a list of flashable recovery zips in the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523050
To install, just flash them using your current recovery.

Seeing as how I have the Optimus T (Basically the One with the old BB, new one doesn't allow networking as far as I can tell), would Touch work with it? I updated via ROM this time and now have 5.0.2.0 installed. :highfive:

Stable recovery
TOUCH RECOVERY of CWM 5.0.2.7 by vivekalady is the most stable . you can get it in the forum.or u may try twrp recovery.

Thanks. As I'm using the Optimus T with an upgraded Base Band, I'll hold off on the Touch version for now, but I'll definitely keep it in mind and try it later. There's really no part of this forum dedicated to the T, because it has a weird resemblance to the One but isn't like it in all ways.

HELP-Cannot install ANY recovery

Hi. I really started to hate android.
OK,What's wrong with my O1? I'm using stock 2.3.3 unrooted to flash recovery. I rooted, i flashed a recovery and bang...just a hard reset no recovery installed! I tried with ROM Manager and few other apps, but it''s not succesful. I've tried to flash V10H.kdz (2.2.2 froyo) and try again but..no. ROM Manager says its succesfully installed CWM and when i click BOOT TO RECOVERY it boots to...hard reset. What is wrong with my O1?!

All new users flashing recovery through rom manager getting this problem
Already a post there of this
Anyways chk this link

Lolz.. definitely he doesnt know much about Android phones.
Dude.. are you properly rooted or temporary root??
If have succeeded in flashing recovery.. check which rom you are trying to flash and which model you own!!

first the method work for many if u follow the instructions carefully
second if u hate android who cares just go we were only helping u because u asked not becausr u oredered

Ok, i was angry. I DO NOT HATE ANDROID. But it's obviously not my favourite. I just don't like its UI. I want XPERIA-ICS as XPERIA TimeScape UI has the best UI for me, and Sense too (but we don't have any stable working sense ROM's).
So can someoen rpovide me older version of CWM for old baseband? I can flash it with recovery flasher, and please let it be in .img format, as recoveries in .zip format cannot be flashed.
I Have CWM in ZIP format, but i cant flash with with AmonRA,wich im using. So hwo to remove amonRA,and install CWM properly?

Flash cwm over amonra.. same.. like you flash a rom through recovery.
You can later theme your phone just like xperia or sense.

Hi I have a suggestion for u
Find an app to reboot on fastboot then use this(download a good recovery image coz the one in the one provided in this tuto is bad)
Good luck!

Re: [RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Touch Recovery 6.0.3.0
I know with the last cwm update there was a problem where once you were in recovery you couldn't get out of it, it just kept booting recovery. Do you know if that was fixed in the latest version?

I don't know what you mean; with every version of CWM I have used, including this one, when you say reboot system, it reboots regularly.

Re: [RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Touch Recovery 6.0.3.0
No chocolate is right. There was a version of cwm that did what he stated. I believe it was the latest version or one of them.

Sorry, I must not have used the last one. But no, when you tell this one to reboot, it does.

thanks, yeah it was 6.0.2.9. It was a big pain, I'm just trying to make sure this one is kosher before I go through that whole thing again

I just flashed it and it seems to be running just fine. It appears you can now sideload zips to flash, but as far as the TrueDualBoot, I can't seem to find anything that seems remotely close to that. Too bad. I'd love to be able to set up a dual boot on this phone, that sounds like it would be really cool.

I had this with TWRP once. The way around it is boot into download and press the volume button for "cancel" or reboot.
Battery removed didn't help at all. Well, only to get into download mode.

v6.0.2.9 is the bad one. I know, because I flashed that one and was stuck in Recovery loop. CWM Touch v6.0.3.0 works just fine. I know, because I'm using this one right now.

could you add exflat support please

TWRP or CWM - Will any Rom work

Hi all. N00b question but id like to know if CWM and TWRP are the same. I am currently using i9500 and TWRP have a official release while CWM does not. My question is - Will any rom work with TWRP because id like to use TWRP. Most of the roms i see say you should install CWM and they are compatible with CWM, dont see any mention of TWRP?
Thanks

yes all the roms will work wth twrp also .. both are same... obly dffrnce between cwm and twrp is dat twrp provides a touch ui weras cwm doesnt... rest evethng iz same

Thanks for confirming, I do see that cwm also provides a touch interface. Went with twrp the ui is really nice

I think twrp is better cause it has a better ui and is simple to use...

There are many options. Use this one and flash in odin. I assume you know what that is since you're rooted. You could also use twrp recovery but I think cwm is easier to use for someone newer to custom recovery

Can I use mobile Odin?

Not a big deal. The point is its the easiest one to get started. Once installed CWM will ask to update to a newer version that will support it. Install with odin.

Pretty close to the same thing but Philz touch is gonna have more advanced options included that most dont use. Also going to have touch also which means instead of using the volume keys to navigate and power button to slect it is simply touch based.

For my personal expirience the CWM recovery is better then others, I never have had compatibility issues with this one

Which one?
