Are you booted into android, you should be able to use your phone like normal? Apps, phone ect...! If you are not just reboot phone like normal, once booted into android then start adb shell.
You dont want to be booted into recovery. IF stock recovery showing 4 options, or custom like 6 options. If you are seeing anything like that reboot phone like normal!

Try this:
[How-to] Revert to LS670V9, after installing OTA LS670VC/VD, using KP500 (Diag mode)
There's a zvd cab in the references

Hello folks, well I sold the VM Optimus V (rooted) and using ClockworkMod v3.2.0.1 and 1 day before shipping it out I did the factory reset, to erase all personal information, and guess what, now it will only boot to the ClockworkMod Recovery mode what a bummer. I tried installing the Xionia Clockwork but it will abort all the time, I'm not sure what to do now to get it to boot to the OS, I did save the original information right after I rooted the phone and, and it had been working fine until yesterday. can someone help me get this phone fixed? I just want to take it to factory standards so I can sell it or use it as a backup. Thanks

**Buddlespit** · 06-11-2012, 07:10 PM

Try the Optimus V forums. They should be better informed on the Optimus V, whereas we have Optimus S experts.

**epidenimus** · 06-11-2012, 09:15 PM

Sounds like a factory reset from the Privacy menu. That's a no go wtih a custom recovery. If you did it from within recovery, you have no ROM installed.

So I decided to upgrade to ZVJ and now I've got the stock sprint rom, rooted (with superuser) but no recovery :/

I followed these instructions: [How-To] Manual Rooting of LS670ZVH/ZVJ (+ links to root ZVD/ZV9)

I noticed on reboot that i can't get to recovery, from adb shell sending 'reboot recovery' as su doesn't work either.

I installed xionia CM as per instructions on page 1 of this thread with no luck. Vol + and home when powering on doesn't do it either.

any thoughts?

What happens when you run 'reboot recovery' as root in a terminal emulator?

Have you verified that you have a working su binary? You might try installing Root Checker to aid in troubleshooting.

Since you have a working ROM, you might also try manually flashing COT Recovery, as it it newer, more featured and seems to play nicer with the CM9 builds.

'reboot recovery' in adb shell as su just reboots the phone as if i just hit reboot

COT recovery flashed to recovery partition doesn't change anything..

i can't seem to find root checker, could you post a link?

Got it using [How-To] Automated Rooting of LS670ZVD/ZVH/ZVJ

I was probably missing the superuser allow prompt behind the lockscreen

Thanks for all the quick responses!

**911Turrbo** · 07-27-2012, 04:19 PM

How do i use adb shell? i know i have to use the cmd but i have no clue what to do after this. i rooted my lg optimus v and i forgot i rooted when i factory reset from the privacy tab now i bricked and ive tried to boot into recovery by holding home+volumedown+power i wait till i see the lg logo then i let the buttons go and there is nothing but a blank black screen. Please someone help!!

Currently I am running Xionia CWMA V1.2518.6 and HydroRom. All is working well. Can I flash stock ZVD/ZVJ using custom recovery, or do I have to revert to stock recovery? If stock recovery is needed is there a writeup on how to do it?
Thanks.

**hlxanthus** · 08-08-2012, 02:05 PM

What are you trying to do? Unroot and return to stock? You can do so that way, download the zvd update.zip to the sdcard. Boot to xionia, disable signature verification and flash. Follow all prompts until booted back into stock zvd. Then power off phone, then press home, volume down, and power until passed the first animation to get into recovery. Now you are on stock recovery, choose apply update.zip and again follow all prompts. The second flash is very important! That is the one that flashed the radio image and you will have no service if not done. If it stalls at any of these steps, pull the battery and manually boot into recovery and preform a data wipe/factory reset before trying again.

I don't see where to disable signature verification.

Go to install zip from sdcard and scroll down to disable signature verification

**Waiting4MyAndroid** · 08-08-2012, 05:59 PM

OK. Got it. I thought I had to disable SV before selecting install zip. That is why I could not find it. Thanks.

I followed your directions. But when i try to install it, it says installations aborted. Was does that mean

**Va1ha11a** · 08-15-2012, 07:16 PM

You should try COT Recovery instead, it has many more features, is themeable, and is still supported by it's dev.

Well... it means the installation failed for some reason. Could be a root permissions failure, could be a signature/hash failure, could be any number of things. Did you use root check, check the md5sum or the log? What do they say?

I agree with Va1ha11a, go for COT; link is in the Welcome Guide, linked below.
