You do not move the image! You keep in on the root of sd card! Then follow the directions for installing recovery.
Make sure you extract both flash_image.zip and xionia_cwma_12518.6.rar to the root of your sd-card.

You will end up with two files named flash_image and xionia_cwma_12518.6.img on your card, then try again. Maybe even redownload the files.

Always happy to help, hit that thanks button if I did

so what your saying is we can completely ignore the line

# cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image

unless I lost 15 years of using Linux, that command is moving a copy of the flash_image file to the /system/bin folder

but if we can ignore that line than it should be takien out of the instructions cause it is unnecessary and a waste of keystrokes

though part of me is screaming it's necessary......

 

[Jamesbossmod]

The emulator is giving me dollar signs instead of #?!

 

[mike9670]

yes, the root of the SD card is the top level of the SD Card.


If you are usb connected it would be the D: drive (root folder) for example

Be sure you are rooted and give terminal emulator Super User priveleges. Check the super user app to be sure.

Type Su hit enter

 

[Jamesbossmod]

Got all that. Now its telling me read only file?

 

[Jamesbossmod]

I know for a fact I'm rooted

 

[graphic1982]

did it tell you its a read only file or a read only file system? if its system then you need to remount your /system as -rw. IDK the shell command for terminal, but through adb

adb remount

always works for me.

 

[Jamesbossmod]

I remounted it with root explorer but now I'm getting a "cross device link" error after entering install recovery.

the correct command
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system /system

EDIT: this is correct, have fun.

I followed your instruction using adb but my phone does not automatically reboot when done and when I shut it down manually and reboot into recovery it gives me stock recovery and when i try to click sc card it abort installation, can you please tell me what am doing wrong, i have already rooted the phone, thanks.overy

 

[thmper]

I'm newb. My phone is rooted with super user app and whatnot and have two files extracted and placed in root of my sd card. Then suddenly the drivers for my computer decided to go kaput and stop working. So finally I found out about terminal emulator.

I got it, opened it and got $. I typed su and enter and got # so now I'm ready to start typing commands and recovery should be piece of cake.....except I don't know the first command I'm supposed to type for shell on terminal emulator. I type "adb shell" and get "adb: not found". So I try something different and type "# shell" and get "# " on the next line. SO, I type through all the steps (a little too flawlessly for comfort) and get to last step and phone doesn't reboot. Like I said, NEWB. Help please? I know I'm not typing something at the beginning right :/

terminal emulator open up already running shell. when you open it after you enter su to get #, this is where you enter one line at a time. DO NOT TYPE IN THE # ) Watch the spaces and when you type, when you hit the return, it brings up another line (#) type in all the lines, then you will have the recovery. Took me several times when i updated to gingerbread b.c. the terminal emulator wasnt spacing right for me

when you flash the recovery, next to last line, you will notice, when done correctly, it will take at least a few seconds before you get back to the # prompt. Also did you type in the # ? if you did, then dont, and when you open adb shell, type su to get to the # prompt . your shell should be similar to what i have posted below (your path to adb shell is probably differently then mine)

 

[thmper]

OMG! I feel like such an idiot! Damn, If I realized that and didn't enter the #before each command I would've had it done yesterday! lmao Thank you so much! It worked and you're incredible! Everyone that donates so much of their time into this and helping everyone else is truly amazing! Thank you!

Xionia CWMA v1.2518.6

• Xionia Kernel 013, which fixes any blank LCD issues
• Experimental (untested) support for AmonRA (drellisdee) nandroid restore of sd-ext
• Attempts to backport CWM 3.0 features
• Fixed known issue from previous version

Xionia CWMA v1.2518.5

• Xionia Kernel 009
• Should fix /sd-ext issues
• LG-Style Reset option removed, due to causing more trouble than its worth
• ext2/ext3/ext4 support thanks to Xionia Kernel
• No longer set to "PERFORMANCE" governor, so the phone no longer idles at 600mhz in recovery
• Known Issue:Occasionally, when rebooting after flashing a zip, an error about ignoring radio image may briefly appear. It seems harmless, so you can ignore it for now. Will look into this later.

Xionia CWMA v1.2518.4

DO NOT USE LG-STYLE FACTORY RESET IF YOU ARE RUNNING CM7!
Feature will be removed in next version of Xionia CWMA.

• Added support for LGE special Factory Reset command. Invalidates this issue
• Execute standard data/cache wipe or full LG-Style Factory Reset (found under "advanced")
• "Fix Recovery Boot Loop" option now supports both bootloader and lge special parameters, ensuring you get out of that loop.
• Known Issue: If you enable USB Mass Storage, then disable it again, it does not re-enable until you reboot back into recovery. (workaround: unplug and replug device. windows is ejecting the device, so you need to reinsert it.)

Xionia CWMA v1.2518.3

• Added "Fix Recovery Loop" option under "Advanced", gets you out of an infinite recovery reboot loop.
• Fixed cosmetic issue where in certain cases, a radio update would still ask you to reboot to finish it. (doesn't really flash)
• Fixed version number.
• Reverted to stock kernel (+lzma) (why use a fancy overclock power kernel for recovery mode?)
• Addressed an issue with USB Mounting (may or may not fix issues some users are having)
• Removed alternate LG logo that briefly flashed during startup of recovery mode.
• Switched nandroid functions to external tools (no more fancy status, sorry) due to localized corruption issues.
• Fixed 'reboot returned' issue when trying to reboot out of recovery via adb shell reboot

Xionia CWMA v1.2518.2

• Radio Flashing Removed Will now ignore radio.img part of all updates, regardless of signature verification setting.
• Fixed bug where a nandroid backup would not restore completely if it did not have an .android_secure image.
• LGE Recovery binary now included for future usage...
• Bug: version reports as v1.2518.1

Xionia CWMA v1.2518.1

• Minor bug fix, could not select zip if it was the last item on the menu.

Xionia CWMA v1.2518

• Safety check - will not flash LG OTA zips and brick you (DO NOT DISABLE SIGNATURE VERIFICATION)
• Dual Nandroid Support (new /sdcard/clockwork/backup/ as well as old /sdcard/nandroid/mem=477M/)
• Use either menu or camera for select, we like both of you
• Powered by Xionia Kernel 007 (not overclocked)
• LZMA Compressed ramdisk to hold even more content
• Blue theme like GNM Recovery
• Ease of use of CWM, with power for the hardcore. Many useful CLI tools included.

How to Install:
Copy flash_image and xionia_cwma_12518.6.img to the root of your sdcard. RAR file is protected with recovery record in case of corrupt download. Please extract rar before attempting to flash.
To flash: via adb shell or terminal type this from root # shell



Note:
If you receive this error:
failed on '/system/etc/install-recovery.sh' - No such file or directory
Then ignore it and keep going, it means the file is already backed up or deleted, and your recovery will not be erased by LG.

Key combo to boot custom recovery from powered off is Volume Down + Home + Power and release keys at LG splash.

Recovery Key mapping:
Up: Volume Up
Down: Volume Down
Select: Menu or Camera
Back: Back
