Hey guys, I am having some issues with the girlfriends Revo. I had it rooted with GingerVolt 1.3 and she did a factory wipe/reset option. Since then the phone keeps booting into CWM. I have tried reflashing GingerVolt 1.3 as well as Rooted stock. The problem persisted. I have a backup of the phone from before gingervolt was applied. I tried that and got the same results. At this point I am trying the LGPNST route. Is there anything else I can do to get this phone working again?
thanks.

If the exit recovery doesn't work, try restoring to stock , using LGNSTP, it worked for me.
But with that method you'll end up back to stock, so you'll have to root again, and so on so forth.

When I restart my phone it boots right into CW recovery. I tried to deodex but it didn't go through. Once in CW recovery I can hit restart and it loads up fine. Any reason this is happening or how to fix it?

Do this happen everytime... or just that one time when you tried to deodex??
I'm asking because the modded recovery is made so that if your phone never COMPLETELY boots... it will reboot to recovery the next time your phone restarts.
When it does restart COMPLETELY, it will restart as normal.. until it fails to boot again. (Which no one ever wishes to happen lol)
ok, i got all giddy over gb release. Got to work today, flashed the v4.tot to upgrade. The phone goes to reboot, gets to 4g splash, then hangs. I think ok, lets pull battery. Reboot again.... same thing. So i think, no worries ill boot into recovery and wipe data. vol down and power button. Um... no recovery!?! Just goes right through the boot sequence and hangs at a black screen. I'm at a loss on this one. Any advice?
Try pushing the tot file again and see if that works.

I didn't root or have to downgrade but it kind of felt like mine hung at the black after splash for an unusually long time just after the update. Felt like 2-3 minutes but it finally pushed thru. Back to normal every time since that initial boot up.

Any new Rom or flashing will hang on the bootanimation. Could be as long as 5 min. If longer then I would hold down Power+Vol Up+Vol Down til reboot and see if happens again. If still hangs longer than 5 min max you may have to reflash the .tot using LGNPST.

Did you try flashing the v6 tot file? I skipped 4 all together. I just uninstalled CWM flashed v6 then updated to Gb. I then had to do a factory reset because lghome kept force closing but all is good now. I rooted again and just pushed all my apps back from market web interface.

I tried v6 as well with no success. Drt, its not hanging at the boot animation. The phone is acting like it is going to show the lock screen, but hangs on a black screen with the backlights on

so which stock firmware are you on? vz4 or vz6?
did you use lgnst to push vz4 or vz6 to your phone?
did you try to do a hard reset?
similar situation happened to me last night
i was on vz4 revolt 1.5 on a new replacement > used lgnst to upgrade to vz6 > update to vz7 GB OTA > root w LG esteem > install revotoolkit > update SU
after i updated su to v3.0.* i can't reinstall the cwm so i juse lgnst again to revert back to vz6. when lgnst say complete but my revo is still stuck at the 4Glte boot image then went blank. i pulled the battery and did a hard reset " holding power and vol down til the message ask if i want to reset the phone before i release both buttons " and comfired it.
after that the revo boot up fine it just took much longer because its the 1st boot then i have to reregister my sim, all work well after the hard rest/data wipe

Thats just it. I tried to get into recovery to do a hard wipe, but there is nothing there. Like my recovery disappeared during the downgrade to zv4. Is there maybe a way to push the stock recovery via adb? My only worry is that because I have tried both zv4 and zv6 .tot files, I am no longer rooted.. I think if I cant get into recovery then, I may have to wait until Monday to get a replacement sent to me.

recovery will be wiped and your phone will be unrooted once you use lgnst to load v4 or v6 files. thats what happened to me and i'm able to hard reset without going back to cwm recovery. after the hard reset, i reboot i'll have to reactive the phone.
GB wont complete update if you still have cwm it'll reboot back to cwm and when reboot there will be a blue screen say your update failed
so you have to be stock v6 without cwm recovery in order for the phone to update to v7 gb
I don't know if it would make a difference, but when when I used LGNST to get V4 back on my phone, I let the phone do the Software Update - it updated to V6, then I had to run it again to get it to update to GB.
I did not bother with rooting until I had the GB update on the phone and followed the instructions posted for the LG Esteem root.
Hope that helps.

That's the same thing I did. I was having problems, used lgnst to downgrade to V4, from there I factory reset, then let the phone do the ota V6 and GB, then I was able to root.

I know that cwm recovery goes bye bye when when I load the .tot files.. The problem is the stock "recovery", I mean the one option to hard reset the phone when you hold power and vol down, has disappeared as well. So I am unable to do a hard wipe, and unable to get the OTA updates either.
I am new to the Revolution and just bought a used one. When the phone boots up is there anyway to boot directly into recovery. I do have the revo tools and can get into recovery from the running phone. I just worry I may accidentally muck thing up and will need to boot into recovery to restore my phone from a backup. But not sure if it is possible to boot directly into recovery. I have searched the net but not having much luck.
Thanks
You are rooted right? If rooted just put gingervolt on and it's in the power menu. On another note turn off then turn back on hold power button and volume down through lg logo. Screen will come up that says to erase data click confirm by the power button and it will go into cwm. It won't actually erase the data.
GINGERVOLTED!
Thanks again. That worked. I appreciate the quick reply.

To boot directly into cwm from and off phone just hold down power and volume down. Then press power twice to confirm the wipe. It won't wipe anything. It just pushes you into cwm

Also had a question about this. I used mt's all in one batch to root and install cwm, but I have no revotoolkit in my appdrawer? Is there a way to tell I actually have cwm without risking erasing my data on the phone by booting into it?
Mt's all in one is not Revo Toolkit which is why you don't see it. Everything you need to root or unroot is in the all in one package. If you used the all in one then you have CWM. Long press power button and choose recovery if you are using GingerVolt 1.3.

Download Quick Boot from the market and select recovery. If it cwm it will boot into it, if not it will just reboot.

Hi, I recently updated to ZV8 and when I try to install CWM Recovery using MTs way :
After gaining root on ZV8 you can get CWM recovery by running this ZV8CWMRecovery.bat.
After my phone is plugged in as internet mode and I open up the .bat file. I restart and I still dont have the recovery option. How do I go through this process?
Also, It seems like my Swype is broken. Everytime I bring up the keypad to Swype it hides right away and I end up using the default LG Keyboard.

Clear the data in the application. it fixed mine
you can just run the important bit from terminal emulator.
I copied cwmrecovery.img to data/local/temp then ran
dd if=/data/local/tmp/cwmrecovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 bs=4096
followed by
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

They recovery option wont be there because you are still running the stock zv8 rom. Use rom manager to gain access to it or shut of the phone and hold down the power and volume down buttons. If you flash the new Broken out Revo it will display the recovery option.

If your reset put you back to stock zv8 (check settings> about phone) then you will not be able to root/cwm.
You'll have to push the zv7 tot, root with zv7 aio, run bat in "easiest" thread, ota to zv8, run bat again for recovery.
Lots of steps but not terrible. All instruction is available in development. I'd post links but I'm on my phone and have been awake going on 24hrs now. I reserve the right to be slightly lazy. Ha

Can't install CWM
I was in the process of doing you V7 -> v8 Root and got stuck on the CWM install as well. I believe I have the right drivers installed since I can access my SD cards from my comp. I am in internet and Debug mode on the phone. When I run the batch it just permanently stalls on "Daemon started Successfully."
I know the Batch installer for the kindle fire has a function to let you know if it see the device. That would be useful in this case if there is a way to do that.Anyone have any ideas where I am gong wrong?

Hi everyone,
I have had Zeus 7.6 (GB based) for a long time, but the other day it started freezing a couple of times a day, and other weird things, so I thought: it's time to give ICS a go.
I then used SmartFlash Tool to install the latest official ICS for Spain... and there started my nightmare. Apparently the install went fine, but now every time the phone boots, I get the initial Android Install screen, which I can configure, but if I enter my google account, the phone goes crazy and I keep seeing warnings of processes crashing (even android.core or something like that). If I turn off my phone, and on again, it will get stuck in the LG logo. Then I remove battery, wait a while, turn on... and it boots again, but cannot do much.
I have tried doing hard reset using LG hidden menu, also from the Android settings did a reset, and everything seems to go well, but the 2nd time it boots, it always freezes in LG logo.
I have flashed Froyo, Gingerbread and ICS versions using smartflash tool, but no matter what, even when it seems to go ok, the version that always boots is ICS (after the software is upgraded, there is a reset of the phone, and LG logo again).
I have even tried recovery using the official LG mobile support tool.
Last thing I tried I read somewhere: I boot pressing Vol - and G button... and I only see a robot lying on the ground (scary!) with a warninig sign, can't get past it.
My guess is that something is corrupt, but I don't know how to do a full wipe without being able to go to recovery.
Can you suggest anything else to try? I'm really lost here and wouldn't want to be forced to buy a new phone yet!
Thanks so much in advance
If you have cwm backup of your 2.2 or 2.3 then you can try one more thing....install cwm patched 2.3 with sft and when it completes flash it will take you to cwm ...now directly restore your old cwm backup

Yes, it's ICS (Spain version) that boots. I had it flashed after Zeus, and now no matter which ROM I flash, I have that ICS version (the flashing always goes fine, but when the phone reboots it hangs at LG logo)
Still trying to find a way to revive my little OB...
Thanks everyone for your suggestions!

It happens when you flash ICS....for me when I went back to 2.2 or 2.3 it failed to detect my internal memory....but as I always do a android backup. ...I flashed patched 2.3 and did a restore of my backup and my phone was all working again...that is why I suggested to use a backup if you have.

Not even this method worked? This is usually my "safety procedure", I always keep a v20s patched with CWM on my PC, to flash with SFT when something goes wrong. Then, when it ends, the phone reboots in recovery...
