I can no longer get into clockwork recovery...

I am on brainmasters miui rom, and whenever I try to go into recovery the phone just gets stuck on the Google logo and doesn't move, forcing me to pull the battery. I have tried reflashing the recovery numerous times and idk what to do from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

reflash recovery. did you flash recovery through rom manager the first time? flash recovery through fastboot.

I also made the experience that flashing recovery through rom manager doesn't always work...had the same problem, also using brainmaster's MIUI rom.

Check the rooting guides for the directions.

I tried looking for directions on how to do it and for some reason I can't seem to find them.

I got the same problem after flashing the Clockworkmod 5.0. Then I flashed the 4.0x version (found in the rooting guide on XDA) and it's now working smoothly

You should make sure you are erasing the old recovery before flashing a new one. This can be done as a fastboot command or through the advanced options in rom manager.

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.

What are you using to install them? Cuz it sounds like you are installing some recovery in the system partition like the ics temp ones

I used rom manager and terminal emulator. I still haven't tried the latest touch recovery. I'll keep the older version until this gets fixed.

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 )

At first this thread in the wrong section .
Try this (it's toooo easy) . It worked for me (in GB ) :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598320
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 .

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.

Thanks Corvus.
Can you or someone else tell me where to download the non-touch version of it?
I've searched through xda and google and could not find it.

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.

It's possible. I didn't use non-touch recovery in a while.

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 think it's because you were from ICS ! All user had ICS have the same problem.

If you were on ICS downgrade with BOOTV21E , when cwm starts factory reset, boot android, go to settings,format internal SD, reboot in cwm, install CM zip with modified boot.img, install gapps zip, get in download mode and flash v21a fls or any other compatible baseband.
That's it.

I've already done the downgrade! Then I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037287 ... and finally I installed the V21A (bin and fls)

Hi Pota,
I have for the first time installed the latest CM10 using CWM (no-touch) but.... after instalation the phone don't pass the LG logo.
in CWM I have wipe cache and data.
the Rom installed was GB 21E and never have installed ICS.
What am I missing to make CM10 work?
Thanks

CM10 on my O3D

Hello,
I've just rooted my phone and got cwm recovery, but I just tried to flash CM10 and I got no phone signal, what should I do now? I've read the tutorial of flashing another kdz file.
Here is my phone's information: stock gb rom v21e, rooted, with cwm recovery installed by rom manager.
Million thanks!

No, i dont think that is his problem. Bernies files are for those who have been on ics. He obviously has not.
You should instead flash another baseband. I know ricardo says it isnt baseband related but it is. My cm10 was fine on 21a baseband and then i flashed 21e and the phone got no signal and rebooted all the time.
Try to flash baseband 18a.fls as that seems to work for most of us with lg flashtool

That is not true. There are a lot of us who have never been to ics and still had to flash bernie's files. After flashing bernie's files you can use any baseband. (I'm using v21e).
So just flash bernies files and you're good to go.

This bernie's files gives headache , you can't find place where to download it, all the link they post in here is dead end,it sound so difficult on how to use it, there is no steps on how to use it ,so there is no other method to get ICS or CM10 to work on your phone without bernie's files?

Just a question, , what is the diffrence between berni's files and rebooter files ??(in the resurrection guide) . I used bernis's files to downgrade and rebooter files to downgrade . They are the loaders and I'm sure they are the same ,, but rebooter is much easier and the files within it .

Bernies files are not for ICS
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app

Thanks for your help and I'm really successful. I've got 21a now and CM10 on my phone now.
One of my friend told me I have to use wkpark's tool (uboot/omap4boot) and I googled it. Here's what I done and I know that's stupid but I wish someone could help because my phone should be bricked now.
First I got 21a flashed on my phone.
I flashed cm10 and gapps.
Then my friend told me about wkpark's tool.
I googled it and downloaded, then when that tool asks fastboot device? I chose N and replaced the two image to my phone.
What happened now is, once I turn my phone on it shows up a LG logo with a little word 'fastboot v0.5' on top, my phone do nothing now.
Could someone provide help? Million thanks!

Hey buddy no problem with the recovery, thing is awesome recovery is modified and works for flashing limited roms, if you want to flash miui vs 4 revised i would suggest you to flash CMW or TWRP 2.6 again
