[Q] How to install older cwm recovery? - LG Optimus 2x

i have cwm 6.x and i wish to install cwm 5.x, how to do this? i have flix123 v20s rom

Use the ROM Manager app for that, quick and easy!

can you explain me with more details?

This is what you need to do:
1. Download ROM Manager from the Playstore. It'll ask you for root permissions the first time you open it, make sure you grant them (I believe Flix's ROM is rooted, if not use SuperOneClick to root your 2X and then come back here again).
2. At the bottom of the ROM Manager app, you'll see an option named something like "Older recoveries" (I don't remember what it's called as I don't have it installed on my device right now). Select it.
3. You'll see a list of older CMW versions, pick the one you want to install. ROM Manager will download it and flash it on your device and show you a message once it's done.
That's it!

older recoveries are not listed in the latest rom manager menu... (at least i don't see them after updating rom manager)

Ah, you're right. I don't get it, why would the developer remove this feature from the app?
Anyways, there's another option so don't worry:
1. Check Rusty!'s CWM thread, download the zip file and extract it.
2. Connect your device to your PC via USB and run the .bat file to flash CWM 5.0.2.8 (I'm assuming you're using Windows). There are two CWM versions: one to have it store your backups on the external SD card (install-ext-cwm-windows.bat), and the other would use the internal SD card instead (install-int-cwm-windows.bat). If you're not sure which one you want, just flash the external version.

thanks a lot

If I remember correctly, that was displayed as another option on the main screen so it was easy to spot. Wonder why it was moved to such a "hidden" place. Oh well, I wasn't so wrong after all ^^ Nice catch, 60nine!

Can I use the RecoveryTattoo script for changing my recovery from AmonRa to ClockworkMod?
Yep I did that to my Tattoo.
Wow! It worked, thanks a lot! I've been haiving some errors when installing ClockworkMod, but this worked. Thanks a bunch!
No problem mate I did that for my mobile so I thought it would be useful to share it with you.
I also reinstall the Stock Rom and tested everything so I am sure that is working.
After installing that you can flash your Tattoo with the latest Kalim's version 2.3.2 with working camera
Thanks a lot!
CM7 was the main reason I wanted ClockworkMod
I think that's the only reason for all of us!!!

3. Write: adb shell
If that can connect to your phone then you are 100% ready to start
Do i have to open the command prompt of the android sdk? Or the "normal" command prompt?
And after that i only have to do following?

Yeah I tried that in a 1.6 installation and nothing affected until I installed a custom Rom where I had to wipe all data and cache first.. Do a nandroid backup first to be sure that you will not lose anything If something goes wrong you will be able to go back using the nandroid.

Thx for your quick answer, nice!
Until now i never used nandroid-backup (on my desire). Making a nandroid-backup means that i can restore the original android 1.6 without wiping or flashing? 1.6 will be restored with all its apps and settings?
If i get a continuous bootloop, is it possible to enter the recovery to restore the nandroid-backup?
btw.: After rooting the superuser-app will be installed?

so my first question is.do you want to keep your rom or are u about to flash a custom rom?

[GUIDE] upgrade / root Gingerbread / Froyo, flash custom roms July/05

I thought it might be useful to put all the info into one thread.
I hope it's completely needless to say that I don't take any credit, since I haven't contributed anything to make that possible
This guide is for rooting your CURRENTLY installed firmware, flashing custom roms, or if you want to upgrade to Gingerbread
If you are NOT S-OFF yet, you either need to get / use an XTC Clip, or use a software exploit / hack (AlpharevX).
The basic differences between both approaches are the following:
AlpharevX:
"Software" S-OFF using an exploit
Bootloader S-OFF
It will flash a hacked HBOOT that sets your device S-OFF.
If you flash an unmodified RUU, or anything that replaces this HBOOT, you will lose S-OFF
-> Not a problem if you stay with custom roms!
Completely free and great solution!
XTC Clip:
Complete "hardware" S-OFF
All locks removed including sim and cid lock.
Permanent solution (radio S-OFF)
-> You can flash anything and won't lose S-OFF
Costs money, or you need to find someone that owns a Clip to do this for you
UPDATE:
Hawkysoft posted about a rare occurrence that has been reported after using AlpharevX:
If you get a security warning in hboot, you will need an XTC Clip to get you running again!
Of course you might also send your phone to repair, but you'll most likely need to pay for that.
So if you experience this problem, either get someone with an XTC Clip to help you out, or buy an "XTC Clip Pay as you go", which is a very cheap variant that comes only with one use (rechargeable) and costs around 30USD.​
See the following tutorial to set your device S-OFF with AlpharevX: GUIDE -> S-OFF
And pause at the point where you should install CWMR (ClockworkMod Recovery) to consider the following options:
Do you want to switch to a custom rom after S-OFF?
-> continue with the guide above installing CWMR
Do you want to keep your official firmware and replace your official recovery with CWMR?
--> continue with the guide above installing CWMR,
but before you install a custom rom, make a backup of your current firmware in CWMR!
Do you want to keep your orig firmware AND the official recovery?
--> don't continue with the guide above and follow this guide instead
​
Be it Froyo or Gingerbread doesn't matter.
If you insist you only want to root your Froyo rom and not upgrade to Gingerbread immediately, please scroll further down.
A rooted Froyo rom is NOT necessary for flashing and afterwards rooting Gingerbread!
If you need further details about flashing custom roms just scroll down.
If you haven't done so already (you didn't get an OTA or you didn't do it manually yet) and you want to upgrade to Gingerbread, here's a short guide on how to flash it first..
How to install the Gingerbread update​
download one of the Gingerbread Roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922
This link is for the Incredible S only of course, but the following works also for the Desire S, but then please use a rom for your phone
ATTENTION: If you are NOT S-OFF yet and you are planning to using AlpharevX, you MUST use an ruu compatible with AlpharevX! Check that first!
start the RUU installer
[*]go into your tmp folder to get rom.zip from the extracted files of the RUU installer:
Access the tmp folder by clicking on start/run and put %tmp% into the textbox. Or for windows 7 put this into this search textbox in the "start menu"
Look for the most recent folder (sort by date). In that folder look for rom.zip or simply do a search.
After acquiring rom.zip from your tmp folder you can exit the RUU installer
[*]Put rom.zip onto your sdcard and name it PG32IMG.zip.
boot into the bootloader.. (press and hold vol.down + press power) it will automatically start to install it and ask you if you want to proceed.
After a reboot remove PG32IMG.zip from your sdcard (otherwise it would ask you to reinstall the update each time you boot into the bootloader)
use morelocales2 from the market if you need additional languages
finished. Now follow the steps below for rooting the fw
Guide below partly out of date!
It works, but there are easier methods available now.Work in progress​
What you need if you want to root your Gingerbread rom:​
an incredible S / Desire S that is S-OFF
Gingerbreak OR SuperOneClick newest version
Busybox
UPDATE:
Some users reported that they weren't able to root using SuperOneClick or Gingerbreak.apk no matter what they tried.
After I reflashed my IS I also run into problems. Although it's not unusual that it doesn't work the 1st time, I decided to do it manually.
I have attached a zip with all the files needed and a script that you could try which does everything for you.
It doesn't do any magic or different than SuperOneClick, but if you do it this way you get to see what's actually happening and if it fails and where / why.
When using this you also don't need to reboot between the tries, reinserting / remounting your sdcard is sufficient.
Please report any bugs.
How to use:​
make sure usb debugging is enabled
make a backup of your sdcard's content or use another fat32 formatted sdcard where you don't care to possibly lose its content.
download the zip file: View attachment 596033
extract the zip and open a shell/command prompt and change into that directoy
on Linux start runexploit.sh, on Windows start runexploit.cmd
if Gingerbreak doesn't finish and you ONLY get to see lots of "sendmsg() failed?" without any other messages in between, you should try any of the following options:​
hit ctrl + c to abort, unmount / remount your sdcard and start over. It could take a few tries
Doublecheese reported it took him 8-9x​
WHILE Gingerbreak is running and printing "sendmsg() failed?" forever, pull and take out your SDcard completely and reinsert it
this worked well for vontdeux, jkolner and me​
Thanks to Vontdeux, Doublecheese, jkolner and everyone else afterwards for the feedback!​
now, after you see '#', you can hit ctrl + c or close the shell
run root.sh on Linux or root.cmd on Windows from the same directory. This will install su, SuperUser.apk and busybox
when it's finished you're done and have root
then it's very recommended to get "rom manager" from the market, open it and install clockworkmod recovery for installing custom roms, backing up your system et.c.

Big thanks to Chainfire for GingerBreak and CLShortFuse for SuperOneClick!​
SuperOneClick: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
OR Gingerbreak: get the latest version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
Busybox installer: https://market.android.com/details?id=stericson.busybox
Steps:​
make sure usb debugging is enabled
make a backup of your sdcard's content or use another fat32 formatted sdcard where you don't care to possibly lose its content.
use the latest SuperOneClick which might be easier.
start the application and select "GingerBreak" as exploit.
But respect the info and warning of the creator of the Gingerbreak.apk:
Chainfire said:
WARNING: Apparently on some devices the root exploit causes the SD card (internal or external) to be formatted. Also, if it gets stuck but you do see the card mounting/unmounting, try formatting your SD card yourself and try again (or use a different SD card) often this works (a fix for both issues is being looked at)

click root check Chainfire's post if you run into problems (also with SuperOneClick because it uses his exploit): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13086954#post13086954
after it's finished your phone will reboot and you're essentially done.
Alternatively, don't use SuperOneClick but follow the guide of Chainfire from the beginning to install Gingerbreak on your device and root your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13086954#post13086954​
(optional) get the busybox installer mentioned above, start the application and install/update your busybox installation.
(optional, but highly recommended) Now for the ultimate pleasure get Rom Manager from the market and use it to install a "custom recovery": ClockWorkMod Recovery
What you need if you want to root your Froyo rom:​
an Incredible S / Desire S that is S-OFF
SuperOneClick newest version
(optional, but highly recommended) Busybox installer app
Files:
Update: apparently the current SuperUser app is crashing for some users.
If you experience these problems see the next section
Big thanks to CLShortFuse for SuperOneClick!​
SuperOneClick:: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Busybox installer: https://market.android.com/details?id=stericson.busybox
Steps:​
use the latest SuperOneClick
start the application and select "psneuter" as exploit.
click root
after it's finished you might need to reboot for getting Superuser app to pop up when needed.
(optional) get the busybox installer mentioned above, start the application and install/update your busybox installation.
(optional, but highly recommended) Now for the ultimate pleasure get Rom Manager from the market and use it to install a "custom recovery": ClockWorkMod Recovery
So how to flash custom roms?:
it's extremely easy ​
put your favorite custom rom onto your sdcard
install rom manager if you haven't done so already
open rom manager and click "install ClockworkMod Recovery
next click "install rom from sdcard"
select your custom rom you put on your sdcard
select to backup your currently installed rom just in case you want to revert back
Most of the time you also need to check wipe cache and data (follow the instructions of the creator of that custom rom to find out if you need to do that or not. If you wipe your data, all your current settings will be lost however so make a backup!)
wiping Dalvik Cache is always a good idea and won't harm your settings
after pressing ok, Rom manager will boot into Recovery, backup your current rom (if you told it to), wipe (if you told it to), install the custom rom and reboot
Solution for SuperUser crashing:
All thanks go to rmk40 who patched SuperUser for us running newer versions of Sense:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886999
rmk40 said:
The latest official build of Superuser does not work with newer Sense ROMs (such as Vision 1.72+, anything released recently). HTC has started utilizing a relatively new feature of sqlite; a journaling mode called WAL (write-ahead logging). It's actually smart. WAL journaling should improve sqlite throughput, which represents a large amount of Android's IO and benefits applications across the board. The downside is it broke Superuser because it's actually special in its' use of sqlite.

How to install the patched version
Update 5/14: Fixed a serious bug in the replace_su script that made it pretty much useless ​
If you didn't root your phone yet
You might want to patch SuperOneClick before using it the first time.
Either download the patched su and SuperUser.apk, or just use the already patched version of SuperOneClick attached to this post. View attachment 591017
If you already rooted your phone:
Usually the first app requesting root access does work with the unpatched version, so you can use this to gain root access on the shell to replace SuperUser and su with the patched versions. If SuperUser doesn't pop up, open Superuser and remove all apps you already whitelisted for su access and try again
To keep it simple, I have attached an archive with a script to do this for you: View attachment 595753​
make sure USB Debugging is enabled (in settings/apps/development)
extract replace_su.zip on your windows or linux pc
open a terminal and change into that directory
on windows run replace_su.cmd, on linux run replace_su.sh
the script needs root access so you need to press allow when SuperUser pops up on the phone
If you already installed a custom recovery and want to do it that way:​
Just download rmk40's flashable zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886999
put it onto your sdcard
reboot into recovery by starting rom manager and selecting reboot into recovery
if this doesn't work because SuperUser fc, shutdown your phone completely (fast boot disabled in settings/power). Press and hold vol-down and press power. From the bootloader menu: select "recovery"​
use ClockworkMod to flash the zip. "install/flash zip from sdcard.."
you can also just replace those files (SuperUser.apk and su) in your SuperOneClick directory and then re-run SuperOneClick.
Here's the "patched" SuperOneClick View attachment 591017​
Update 5/14: Fixed an error in the replace_su script.
Update 5/10: updated because of a request to re-add the Froyo rooting info
Update 5/09: updated because of SuperUser crashing issue
Update 4/27: updated due to new version of SuperOneClick now supporting Gingerbreak
Update 4/26: updated because of Gingerbreak, which makes this much shorter and easier. Thanks very much Chainfire for all the hard work!
Update 4/24: thanks very much to Hawkysoft for pointing out that psneuter doesn't work for Gingerbread and further instructions)
So if you are already gingerbreaded, please scroll down
Update 4/23: OFFICIAL CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY NOW AVAILABLE!!

Does anyone know if your phone would still get OTA Updates after doing it this way?
I guess so, but then of course you would need to repeat those steps after you installed an official update.

well if u use stock rom and rooted that one, you will get notified that there is an update, but im not totaly sure if it installs (especially when u use custom recovery, than its a nogo)

Thanks, so if it doesn't work you'd need to reflash the original recovery first..
If you do it you will fail and end flashin a standard rom with hboot xD
Been there.... Better first update than flash the recovery or you will be busy for a few ^^

Ahh thanks for the warning
Since the custom recovery is installed already anyway when there's an OTA update available, wouldn't the following work?
If I get notified about an available OTA update, I could flash a complete RUU, then get the OTA and afterwards re root + reflash the custom recovery?
Newbies question: if you just want root in order to use i.e. titanium I suppose you don't need to install PG32IMG right?

Correct. Its only needed to flash custom roms.
Sorry for newb question... What does S-OFF mean?
Read the rooting topic in the dev section,
But to make it easy for you: S-OFF means Security Off.
Which allows us to (over)write system files

And nandroid Can't live without it... of course especially if you flash custom roms, but also if you don't, titanium is just not always 10.000% enough
There is another recovery available from GOAPK with Reboot function that works.
can you confirm that it fully works with backin up and restoring?
since the current one failes at restoring
;p
testing it...
first try to backup FAIL <- Error while generating md5 sum!
second time as well this is a major failing recovery
I am going to try porting clockwork myself from scratch tonight
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using Tapatalk
With this recovery in the first post, I had an error at the time of restoration, with the one I posted, an error of md5 sum, but with the tutorial as an attachment, the worries of md5 sum is adjusted by 5 minutes
So I can now restore quietly after each crash, as I try to adapt a framework-res.apk to my Incredible S
Just at it now
creating md5 sums failed.. restore of course also failes..
I just restored a previously created backup with the one from llnhhy successfully
So we have a recovery that has all the functions, but has trouble creating md5 sum, and another that did not have the reboot function with a problem of restore, by mixing the two should do it .. .

Yeah, 3.0.2.8 didnt work either. Only 3.0.1.4 works without vibrations.
Works like a charm.
Anyway to add this aswell: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098745
So you have 2 option.
Internal Sd and External Sd?
That would be awesome!
USB mount doesn't work. Is it me?
Recovery shows 3.2.0.0 but the app still reports it as 3.0.2.8 - is this for compatibility?
recovery works fine, thank you, but i noticed a tiny bug:
date of backup is wrong, it shows me 27.04.2011 instead of 27.05.2011
(Time & date settings on phone are correct of course ...)

yep. same thing (like at 3.1.0.1)...
just made a nandroid restore and recovery can't mount /boot during restore.
It's probably why we can't ( for exemple ) flash a CM rom ( after nandroid stock rom ) play with it and if you want to return to stock rom using your backup you get a bootloop
Quite common (and annoying), that. Happens each time I've restored a CM NANDroid, have to restore, then reflash CM.
hi. just a noob question
can i use this recovery to flash all the roms for the optimus 2x. like modaco, cm7 and other modaco based custom roms. ?
i been reading the forums and there are so many recoveries. im kinda confused.
Yes you can.
There are only 2 types of recovery in reality, this type (external SD) and the one I built for internal SD use. If you're not sure what you need, pick the external one (unless you don't have an SD card).
bit of a noob..but cant seem to be able to install it. can someone give me a guide to install this with a mac thanks in advance

Install an older version of CWM through Rom Manager app. Should be 5.2.xx. This one should work just fine.

Just go and search for cwm touch flasher optimus black and look for an entry made by redy06. He created a flasher for the 5 version. You can also have a look into dev section. Dont know, if you maybe are able to install a cwm created by tantrums.

Something about TWRP recovery

Hi guys, I have got a very urgent problem right now, and hope someone can help me out...I am currently using a HTC One M7, and I used the TWRP recovery and the official bootloader or something rooted my phone, the reason why I need root it is that i need a app move into the system apps which may be easier in using it. And after I moved the app into the system apps using Root Explorer and then reboot my phone, the app just disappeared. After tried many times...I think it is because of the twrp just wipe it... do u guys have a method to solve this problem?...really...pls help me out!!

This is not a twrp issue, /system partition is write-protected by the stock kernel, every changes made in the /system partition will be reverted after a reboot. If you want to be able to write to /system when booted in the rom, you'll need a custom kernel with write-protection disabled (pretty much all custom kernels here have this). The other option is to make the changes you want in your /system partition before the stock kernel boots, so using the embedded file manager of twrp recovery for example.
If you want to use a custom kernel, you must choose one that works with your rom type and version. For example, ElementalX kernel will only works for Sense or GPE rom (stock or custom). The version of ElementalX required depends on your android version so newer doesn't mean better, you need the right one. Flashing a custom recovery is done using twrp recovery. When installing the custom kernel, you can choose the features you want to be installed so if you don't want a specific feature that the kernel offers, its not a problem. The write-protection is removed by default.
If using the twrp file manger, boot in twrp select "advanced" ---> "file manager"
Then to move a file, select it (tap on it) then it will open another menu. Select "move" then select the location you want to move it to. There is also a chmod menu to edit the files permissions.

Oh, thanks for answering me~ uh, can u be more specific about how to do that? about the kernel thing? I never did this before and actually this is just my second time to root a phone and try to move an app into system app (as last time i did so there is no such a problem...) Also, about the twrp recovery file manager, tried that one yesterday, and it did not show the " app" folder under the system one, which means i just cannot move it using the twrp file manager...

see my post above (edited while you were replying)
You can also use aroma file manager within twrp recovery
here a nice xda-video about both twrp file manger and aroma file manager

Yep sorry, should have mentioned that, you always have to mount the partition you want to access when using a recovery. Some are mounted by default, but /system isn't.
