[Custom Recovery] Xionia Clockwork (CWMA v1.2518.6)
- Thread starter zefie
- Start date
I have followed the instruction to the dot. Extracted the img file, ran the commands, but once I reboot to recovery. It's the stock recovery, not the cwm! I use android terminal emulator. any suggestions?
UPDATE: NOOB mistake!
I extracted the RAR file as instructed, but not the zip file. that's why it didn't work!
Thank you for the work and reply

Did you extract BOTH files to the root of the sdcard? If so i would simply try again paying special attention to the scripts as it must be exact and there are spaces that are easy to miss
For simplicity sake, go here

This automated tool can root zvd and zvh and also install xionia. And it can also just install xionia or stock recovery !

It is mounted as read-only by default. You must first remount it as read-write, which is what this command does:
code
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
I get an error on step 2.
I have the flash_image.zip file on the root of my sd card. I also tried extracting the file to root directory and still get the error.
What am I doing wrong here?
Code:
/sdcard/flash_image: No such file or directoryI have the flash_image.zip file on the root of my sd card. I also tried extracting the file to root directory and still get the error.

You need to extract flash_image from flash_image.zip here and place it in the root directory of the SD card ( /sdcard ).
Placing it anywhere else, such as in the / directory, and copy-pasting the commands will cause the error you got.
Also, double check that you are rooted, using ADB shell--not just a prompt--and have the # showing in shell.

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
ccasionally, 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.
xionia cwma v1.2518.3
- 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 v1.2518.2
- 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 v1.2518.1
- 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
- minor bug fix, could not select zip if it was the last item on the menu.

- 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

special thanks:
cyanogenmod for clockwork recovery
amon_ra for the signature verifier since i could not get cyanogen's to work
drellisdee for the original custom recovery that got us all started, and for the flashing instructions i swiped >.>
my optimus s is bricked. All i get is the blank screen after the lg logo. The emergancy mode thing doesnt work and im getting a headache. Can u help me out pm me
Thank you for the entertainment! If no one liked watching frustrated people beat their heads together, football would just be an afterschool jogging class.
Seriously, provide some more details as to your situation, if you want help. What process did you follow, how did you get there, etc? Otherwise just send me $40 and install abracadabra.apk from the market.
Yeah you need to provide more details. This recovery shouldn't cause a blank screen unless you flashed an older, incompatible version.
Also in the future, please help keep the forum (and your posts) clean and organized by not quoting the entire first post.
FUNNY:-X i installed rom manager and it bricked my phone. the display is black after the lg logo appears. i finally got screencast to work but my phone keeps booting in recovery. i wipe n wipe n wipe and still get . adb is not letting me install the recovery img.
Hi, I have a problem that just started happening today.
Ive been using Xionia recovery since i rooted my phone about 3 months ago, and it has never given me any problems.
Anyways, here gos: I can boot into recovery and the main menu comes up fine, but whenever I choose an option the screen goes black and nothing else shows up.

Another victim of ROM Mangler. See the sticky thread for that at the top of the forum. Your issue no longer pertains to Xionia Recovery and you may find some solutions to try there.
Did you install ROM Manager? I hope not.
Have you made any modifications to the recovery from within Android?
What specific action(s) are you attempting when it goes blank?
when i put this cat/sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image in it said cannot create /system/bin/flash_image: read-only file system
Looks like you either missed the first step or are not running with root privileges.
This command mounts the filesystem as read-write:
Command
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
Did you get the # prompt in ADB before you entered it?
