I have updated the OP to state that this recovery should not be used with LeslieAnns radio update zip. I appologize for not updating it sooner. I am without a pc and no longer using VM and barely use my OV. Planning on ebaying my OV but will try to keep this recovery up to date untill drew starts an official OV thread.

Not sure. There's a link in the OP for the OS forum I'm sure the info your looking for is there.

It's CWM v5.0.2.7 with a few modifications (primarily making it run on the Optimus S {and subsequently V}, and the adding of touch controls {there are some other things but I'm too lazy to list them}).

Point is if CWM v5.0.2.7 supports link2sd nandroid then yes; if not, then no.

Edit: I haven't checked myself but assuming it doesn't, do you know a recovery that does? I'm sure Drew or myself could look into merging such functionality.

Perhaps more important would be to discover why this version of CWM cannot flash radio images.

In the OP I copied from the OS forum it states radio flashing was disabled. Maybe that's why it bricks when flashing radio. If it sounds like I'm being a jerk I apologize lol.

is there perhaps a version with radio flashing enabled?...

good question. I'll look over on the OS forum and see if an older version has radio flashing and report back.

Edit duhhh me long night lol all I had to do is look at this OP since its copied from the OS thread lol.

Why worry about it.
Flash a different recovery, flash the update then put this back.

It's not like we have a radio update every month.

I only tried VM670NH_recovery.img. It works fine.. When I switched to touch, and bricked my sd-ext.. I am noob.

So I'm pretty sure that's Bob's recovery (someone correct me if I'm wrong), that should just be CWM based recovery same as the recovery found here; only difference is going to be the kernel I expect and possibly version. Anyway, point is I expect there are much differences, certainly nothing that should effect backup/restoring to sd-ext. Most if not all of the backup functionality is handled by platforms/bootable/recovery/nandroid.c which as you can tell from the commit log Drew has only made one change to this and I can't imagine how it would effect the sd-ext backup (at least not in a way that would cause it to fail to restore), I could of course be wrong.
Someone wanna check the version number in Bob's recovery that way I might be able to get a better idea of possible changes made to nandroid.c

In regards to the disabling flashing of the radio; it was to my understanding that flashing a radio image could cause serious issues (when using custom recovery); having said that if someone has successfully flashed a radio image from a non-stock (fully open source) recovery I would love to know about it, as this is something I was considering looking into anyway (Xionia does this to an extent if I recall but it's also a much older recovery version).

Edit:

I expect there are much differences

That should have of course been "aren't" but I think you all got my meaning

Alright I give in. Here's a freshly compiled build of Cannibal Open Touch v1.0.6 for the LG Optimus V.

It's untested as I don't have an Optimus V but should work fine. Don't flash unless you are prepared for a potential brick.

Known issue, nothing I can do about it right now. For now, use a REAL web browser on your computer.

It means exactly what it says; you ran out of memory. Reflash it until the error goes away.
