You should still be able to boot into cwm by holding power and Vol down. After that reflash your ROM, or restore a backup you made. Then you should be good to go

Download the rom on your computer, extract the build.prop and push it through adb

If I'm correct I don't believe adb can be run on a Mac.

It can, you just need the right copy of it, but unfortunately it will more than likely need lgnspt to fix it.

ok so I did something really dumb...

ok so here's what I did to royally screw up things on my tablet. I had installed the latest Streakdroid ROM and wasn't getting any data connection at all though it showed on the taskbar at the top that I did. I decided I was going to follow the steps in the thread that had the instructions on how to bring back to factory settings so I can start fresh. I had gotten to the part where I was about to execute the fastboot command and my computer never detected that the tablet was hooked up at that point. Now when I go into recovery, I have the stock recovery loader that dell put in and the streakdroid rom's wifi doesn't work so I can't do anything at all. not even download a file explorer to install the rom manager or anything...i'm afraid that I've really screwed things up. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Reflash cwr. Then flash another rom you flash a stock build that wiped cwr and replaced it with stock. Your fine.

Clockwork recovery...

Does anyone know an easier way to put clockwork onto my phone? I mean other than (adb).. for some reason it doesn't pick up my phone.. Is there an recovery App coming out soon?
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium
make sure you have debugging mode on and that your Windows or Mac proper LG drivers are installed so that the phone is recognized also put CMD in the same folder as platform tools in sdk manager folder vice versa for files needed to be pushed to phone.
I got the drivers from the LG website for my cell, hmmm... ill have to recheck everything else because ADB has never gave me this much trouble
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium
I'd be willing to code a one click solution if it would be helpful. Its pretty easy as it is tho
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium
I had the same problems. I followed everything step by step and made sure I had the right drivers along with everything I would need with Java. Still no luck. I have the combination of feeling stupid and frustrated. I have rooted and installed custom roms on three different phones before.
A one click solution would be amazing if you could come up with that. I will try the ADB way again later.

Yes a one click, alot of people would thank you ....and i would be gratefull

i agree. ive been trying the adb method all day. for some reason just wont work. im prolly missing something
Try updating all the drivers for adb. It would be helpful for you and it would probably solve your issue.
Sent from my LG Thrill 3D using XDA Premium
Does one click root work for you? If it does, there is nothing wrong with your drivers.
Once you get one click root working, put the recover in the ADB folder that is part of one clock root.... then open that fold, hold shift and right click, select open command prompt, then type in the adb commands from the CWM instructions thread.
LG uses the same drivers for all their Android devices, I used their driver installer app and selected the Verizon LG Fathom since it didn't have the Thrill listed anywhere, have had no problems.
Some reason my comp doesnt do any of this correctly... so much for brand new tech
Does one click root work for you?
If not, you have a driver problem, fix it by downloading LG's driver installer, select Verizon for the carrier and then select the Fathom. If you have a drive issue, and that fails to fix it, try a different USB port... make sure you have your phone in debug mode... can you mount your SD cards?
If one click root does work, then YOU, not your new technology, is doing something wrong. So the question is, what are you doing wrong...
Please answer the question, does one click root work? From there, tell us step by step what you are doing, and we will tell you what needs fixing.

Ok, then driver issues isn't a problem, I would take a really close look at your ADB commands, and be sure to wait 30 seconds after each one to let it process.
I would recommend copy pasting the longer commands (right click copy, right click paste, the keyboard shortcuts don't work in command prompt window).
now it says permission denied on first command?
Then you don't have root... run one click root again. I would use it's driver check feature as well before running it.
lol i lost root? wow ok strange... i have superuser
Well... if you get accessed denied you either are typing something wrong, skipping a step, or trying to do something that needs root and you don't have root.
Do you have debug mode turned on? Do you see this active in your phones notification bar? That first line doesn't even need root access, if IIRC.

[Q] Is it possible to root via SD card?

Hello
My DS7 has a broken port (that plastic line right at the center of the port is chipped). It charges only if I insert the connector a bit crooked... but the device its not recognized by any computer. I've spent hours trying to do it with no luck.
I would like to root it and test some other roms. Is it going to be possible without being able to connect it to a computer? An SD method maybe?
Please help! I did search before posting this... couldn't find an answer.
Thanks!
Do you already have CWM installed? That basically answers your question.

Like TheManii said, if you already have CWM installed you should be in business, but the fact that you can't use the port for flashing is going to be hinderance if you ever need to NVFlash or adb anything. So I recommend to be VERY careful and do nothing without much thought
It's much, much worse to have a broken port on the S7 compared to the S5. As you can remove the S5's batt and charge externally.
Consider yourself lucky you can charge at all, otherwise it's already a dead device/motherboard.

Pretty much all the stuff needed needs to be done via the cable. Now if you have 2.2 installed you can install Gingerbreak apk that will root it. Other than that, its sucks.
Well, some time has passed since I started this thread. I was wondering if maybe there could be a new solution for my problem?

First allow me to ask you this... do you know what root is, do you have any knowledge of adb commands, do you have the Android SDK and/or the Dell drivers on your computer and lastly do you understand the layout of the file system?
I can easily just type out the commands but I want you to understand the process
BUT I'm not sure this works... since you aren't rooted already I don't know if you can push files to the system folders

If you're on 2.2 froyo try using gingerbreak. Just do a quick Google search for it, and it will give you the XDA forum link for it.

***Easiest Method for Keeping Root Thru the ZV8 Update***

Please Read Full Post Before Posting Any Questions!!! If You Ask A Question That Is Answered In This Post, It Will Not Get Answered!!!
Alrighty Boys and Girls!!! I have tried to make this as easy as possible for what we have!!! First and foremost, this will NOT root if you are already on ZV8!!!
Prerequisites
Pretty easy, you need ANY form of ZV7 (By any that includes stock, GingerVolt, Blitzkrieg, self modified, whatever) and CWM. Also, if you have frozen the software update app, make sure you unfreeze before anything!!!
1) Download this file: http://d-h.st/MeH
2) Flash that file in cwm
3) Reboot into the OS
4) Update to ZV8
That is it!!! You are now rooted stock ZV8!!!!
After gaining root on ZV8 you can get CWM recovery by running this ZV8CWMRecovery.bat: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/54501789/Revo/ZV8CWMRecovery.zip
There you have it!!! That was easy now wasn't it!
You are AMAZING! Very nice mtmichelson.
I'll give it a shot. What do we do if the OTA fails??
Edit:
OTA failed. Lol
Edit: fixed my market, broke my swype.
Edit: broke all sound and vibration. At work, can't take time to troubleshoot. Later, hopefully.
EDIT!
Holy effing facepalm, batman! I just realized what was killing the OTA.. And while I certainly feel like an idiot, I can assure you I am truly not one. Also, I refuse to disclose where I screwed the pooch.
Updating to zv8 now..
Edit:
Yup. It works. Ha!
Still not sound/vibration though. No worries, Im going to flash a clean zv7 and do this again in a bit.
I really should have waited until I was home to mess with this. Thanks MT!

This method does still take advantage of the local.prop file. Delete it from /data and reboot and you will have sound back. If you run the .bat it will remove it for you though.

Awesome job MT! This was a life saver for me since my USB connection doesn't work! I was hoping the ZV8 upgrade might fix it, but it didn't. Oh well, at least now I'm on ZV8 with Break Out 1.1!!!
I had to enter the commands in Terminal Emulator by hand, which sucked. But hey, I got there...
sweet will try this later. i take it this means you dont want that update file anymore?

I know I am a complete noob for asking this, but what is the best way to execute the .bat file (.zip file, since we cannot install it with CWM)? I know I can adb, though I am foggy on the details since it has been a while. What are the steps that need to be taken to make sure that i direct terminal correctly towards my phone. I just want to make sure I do it right the first time. Thanks in advance!
Another dumb question again here. sorry, but....
To run the CWM Recovery bat file, I need to be hooked up to the computer, right?
I have done the update to ZV8, but I am at work and have no cable to connect to the computer. Did the first part through WIFI to get the files.
There is no way to run the bat file off the phone itself is there?

Yes you need to be hooked to a computer and I assume you need to be in USB debugging mode and internet connection only. I felt bad because no one else answered.
As to pushing the file through ADB I have no idea I usually just use the simple connect and run by the means of MT's programz since they do it all for you anyways. Still denating to update though because I love my blitzkrieg...

[Q] I Still Don't Get It...

Hello all,
Okay, I'm a total noob when it comes to the LG Revo. I had my D1 and my DX and I worked it all out and had it setup and rooted just fine, but the LG and this OTA ZV8 update is killing me. So here is my dilemma.
First I don't get the lingo...clockworkmod (CWM) = boot screen/command screen, right...like dos kinda?
Second, flash? What is that is that where I hold power + volume down button to get boot/command/dos screen, when phone is powered off?
Okay now for the good crazy stuff. I had my Revo rooted, got the update, failed. Figured it was because the root was on it, so unrooted to push OTA update, still fail...is still epic failing and is getting on my last nerve, so badly I'm ready to throw my phone...and I've never wanted to that to my babies (phones). Anyway, unrooted still failing update.
Was on another forum where very nice guy gave me stuff to do, tried it however, when did the "Flash" it only wiped my phone and put it back to stock. Had phone plugged into computer via USB...tried to follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583023 but after phone wiped didn't know what to do. This is where I am now, with a wiped phone and this has been since 9am pdt.
Hope this all makes since. Can anyone offer any help here? I'd like to get my Revo back up and running and I'd really love to get my apps back on so I can function.
Thanks for understanding and your help is greatly appreciated. Oh, please talk to me like I'm a noob lol...Or I won't get it, I promise I will do my best and try not to sound as dumb as I feel right now.
Thanks &
*Edit* I forgot, I read somewhere that in order to use CWM the phone had to be rooted so I couldn't've flashed to it anyway? Is that wrong information?
The reason why your update fails is because you haven't taken off CWM I'd point you in the right direction but I'm doing this by phone

After the lgpnst program completes (around 20min) successfully you will be running the latest v8.
Once that is done. Connect your phone set the usb to internet and turn on debugging from the settings | applications | development section and then follow this the instructions in this thread. Unzip the file and run the bat file and follow the directions in the command window.

As for clockwork mod (which a basically is a program that can be run before android loads that allows you to make low level system changes, when you make these changes it is called flashing) I am not running it on my phone but I am sure someone here can tell you how to put it on your phone running v8 rooted.
Here are the instructions for getting ClockWork Mod onto your phone with rooted v8 (located at the bottom of page 2)

Hello, followed the instructions all the way to:
10. Right Click "VS910.dll" and click on Install/Register.
Note: DLL WILL NOT INSTALL UNLESS COMPONENTS AND GENERICMODELS PLUG-INS ARE INSTALLED!!!
IF YOU CANNOT INSTALL IT ON A RIGHT CLICK GO TO "C:\Windows\System32" and drag the VS910.dll on "regsvr32" and it should install.
It won't VS910.dll dragged onto "regsvr32" will NOT install. I get an error message:
The module "C:\LG Electronics\LGNPST\VS910.dll" was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80020009.
What do I do now?
Are you using windows 7? If you are, disable user acct control and try it then. I had issues with windows 7 64 bit?

Thanks, it helped, however, now I'm stuck here:
16. Select "VS910ZV4_04.S4_04.P58008.R5.user.tot" and Click OK
17. Then click on Upgrade
It says "The file can't be open.
Any ideas?

Typed "." with both just the dot and then again with the quotes and nothing. According to my computer the file is on C:\ but I can't find it in LGNPST there. And it's not in any of my other files that I can see.
I think I did something wrong...But I followed it exact. Becoming very disconcerted with my Revo.
At that point you should explore into the directory where you put the .tot file. Copy the location, go back to the LG tool and paste the directory location. It should allow you to open the file. If you have any problems please respond.

Ok, so moving along on this lol...I've followed all of the instructions. Downloaded, uploaded, installed, copied, pasted, created new folders, dragged and dropped everything it told me to do.
This file "C:/VS910ZV4_04.S4_04.P58008.R5.user.tot.bin" is only showing up in my computer as a shortcut, not as a file. This is after researching and finding it on my computer. Did I do something wrong? Am I downloading an incorrect file? I'm not sure where this particular file came from as, everything else is as described in the "how to" threat.
I think I may have figured it out. Will get back to you. Thanks again!!
*EDIT* Was told to use VS910ZV7_10.S7_10.P58008.R5.tot ... did...it updated...now to see what to do next. That other was was ZV4 and the one I just updated to is ZV7... woot wish me luck...manually pushed zv8 update...no failure this time...it was successful. yay!

Now for this part. It's not rooting. And yes, I have ZV8 on my phone, now. I have a root-required app on my phone just to test to see if it's rooted and it keeps saying that it is not. I'm such a noob, I know. Sorry :-/
