Guest Paul Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 DO NOT RUN THIS ON THE G2X! The partition layout is different, doing so will do bad things to your device! Here is an UNOFFICIAL (hence custom colouring) ClockworkMod image for the LG Optimus 2X. Some points to note - READ THESE CAREFULLY! This uses the external SD as 'sdcard'.If you manage to break your device completely, this ROM should get you back up and running. Download I have packaged the recovery itself and the installation system together in one download zip.4.0.0.5 - DOWNLOAD (Mediafire Pro) - MD5: 30855ab501eaf94cff71ccfecf6bd5e9 Installation automatically on your device NEW - recommended: If your device is rooted, my 99p 2X Recovery Boot app (mentioned below) can now flash the recovery image for you the first time you run the app and on subsequent version updates! Installation on Windows, Linux and OSX - Download the zip file above and extract to a directory - Connect your device and ensure 'USB debugging' is enabled - WINDOWS - double click 'install-clockworkmod-windows.bat' - MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-clockworkmod-mac.sh' followed by './install-clockworkmod-mac.sh' - LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-clockworkmod-linux.sh' followed by './install-clockworkmod-linux.sh' If you wish, you can also manually install the recovery by pushing the clockworkmod.img file to /data/local/ with adb and running 'dd if=/data/local/clockworkmod.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7' from a root shell. Launching Recovery To boot ClockworkMod Recovery, either: [*]Turn the device on while holding the volume down and power buttons until recovery loads [*]Download the OPTIONAL 99p 'LG 2X Recovery Boot' application from the Android Market (NOTE: This app is completely optional - if you do use it, thanks for your support - there is a discussion topic for the app here) Source / Updates I'll be posting the device profile and source changes on my GitHub shortly, and will issue fixes / new Betas as required. Enjoy! :D P
Guest Xoneso Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 Recovery flashed, rebooted and testet ok with taking a backup.. thanks paul :D
Guest Sorensiim Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 Woo! Nicely done! Now I'll just sit back and wait for somebody competent to start rolling out the custom roms...
Guest thla Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 So do you get prompted for the SU access when you run the recovery app? Check in 'Superuser' if it shows as permitted or denied... P Your batch script for windows calls adb instead of adb-windows btw
Guest Paul Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 Your batch script for windows calls adb instead of adb-windows btw Fixed, thanks. P
Guest thla Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 Nope no prompt fir SU access and the recovery app isn't listed in Superuser app Same here for me, su works fine on, for example, root explorer, but it doesn't popup on the recovery app, neither is it listed in the log as having requested it.
Guest jongrove Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 Hi I'm getting this when I try: adb-windows push psneuter /data/local/psneuter error: device not found adb-windows shell /data/local/psneuter error: device not found adb-windows wait-for-device [/codebox] The device has USB-Debugging enabled. BTW: I've downloaded your LG 2X app to support your great work :-)
Guest Sorensiim Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 Yeah, running the windows bat file (I'm at work, windows only here...) and rebooting to recovery will send you to the stock LG recovery - and wipe your phone. That'll teach me to run batfiles without reading the source! :D
Guest thla Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 Hi I'm getting this when I try: adb-windows push psneuter /data/local/psneuter error: device not found adb-windows shell /data/local/psneuter error: device not found adb-windows wait-for-device [/codebox] The device has USB-Debugging enabled. BTW: I've downloaded your LG 2X app to support your great work :-) Sounds like you don't have the driver installed, i used the one from the superoneclick root thread on xda

Guest Paul Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 I've added a discussion topic dedicated to the reboot app [ur=http://android.modaco.com/content/lg-optimus-2x-2x-modaco-com/335484/lg-2x-recovery-boot-app-discussion/]here. P
Guest londahl Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 Great work Paul! Just a simple question, just purchased the app in marked, but haven't installed cwm yet (at work, no admin rights) Will the app boot into the stock recovery if cwm is not present, and if it does, will it wipe the phone?

It shouldn't wipe, just load stock recovery... (i've tested it and that's what happened). P
Guest Sorensiim Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) It shouldn't wipe, just load stock recovery... (i've tested it and that's what happened). P If the bat file doesn't work (you might wan't to add some sort of notification for that...), booting the phone while holding vol-down, you will get stock recovery - and wipe. :D Lesson learned: Do full backup, THEN try the first beta :D Edited March 25, 2011 by Sorensiim

Guest BrumBrum74 Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) Don't work for me: C:\tools>install-clockworkmod-windows.bat C:\tools>adb-windows push psneuter /data/local/psneuter 1751 KB/s (557962 bytes in 0.311s) C:\tools>adb-windows shell /data/local/psneuter /data/local/psneuter: permission denied C:\tools>adb-windows wait-for-device C:\tools>adb-windows push clockworkmod.img /data/local/ 1926 KB/s (4444160 bytes in 2.253s) C:\tools>adb-windows shell dd if=/data/local/clockworkmod.img of=/ lk0p7 /dev/block/mmcblk0p7: cannot open for write: Permission denied Edit: Rooted again and it went ok.

Could you edit the batch file to add 'adb-windows shell chmod 4755 /data/local/psneuter' after the push and see if that fixes it? P
Guest BrumBrum74 Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 And I got my device wiped again. Should be a pause after scripthas run to see if it all went ok or not. Vol Down and Power wiped my phone when I though all went ok. :D

Guest Vu Nhat Van Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 I have the same problem, when I holding vol- and power, the phone doesn't go into clockworkmode. So I have added command "pause" into the file install-clockworkmod-windows.bat. This is picture Uploaded with ImageShack.us How do I correct it
Guest djmcnz Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 Thanks for this too Paul, worked like a dream, full adb shell and all. Nice work. FYI, it didn't affect me but psneuter doesn't have execute modes in /data/local/ so throws a permission denied in the script. Perhaps: adb-windows shell chmod 0777 /data/local/psneuter Before it runs? Dave
Guest katun79 Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 Hi to all. I'm waiting for the shipment of my new 2x, now I have read this topic and I have a question... Do you know a way to backup stock rom and recovery before install clockworkmod? Thanks Tommaso
Guest djmcnz Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 Back capacitive button works as enter/confirm... :D
Guest Vu Nhat Van Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 Is your phone rooted? Yes. And I rooted it again and then run the bat file. Done. OK Thanks
