Make sure you have the SDK tool installed on computer, the lastest LG drivers for phone install on computer.
Now what step are you stuck on?

Let me get this straight you cant put the xionia clockwork recovery on your phone through the phone you have to do it through command lines. Is there a video on how to do all this not sure how to use adb or sdk.

there's not a video but using terminal emulator all the commands are the same after "adb shell". so move everything that you're going to need from the download folder to the root of the sd card, and then open terminal emulator and start on the command AFTER adb shell

Its only like 7 short lines of "code" you have to enter.

If i were to use the computer do i use adb or sdk. I do like the terminal emulator need to look into that a little more. But i do want to know how to do it through the computer so how would i do that and what do i need and how to i start it all. I dont know where to put all the programs that i would need or how to start. thank you.

first before anything you need this. You also need this, look at the bottom of the list and get either the windows 32 bit or windows 64 bit depending on if you have windows 32 or 64 bit.

the sdk in question is the google Android SDK, that software development kit has adb in it, so you need to go pick that up, the downloader itself doesn't take too long but once it starts downloading all the updates, go make a sandwich and a drink, sit and enjoy.

if you're a windows user keep reading, if you're a linux user, you already know how to do this in linux anyways, and if you're a Apple user, well you spent way to much money for absolutely no reason, should keep doing it the long way and should to keep taking it up the... ok rant over
here are a few things I'd recommend doing and in this order, the link i gave you will take you to a location do download a zip file, extract the file to C:/Android the directory wont be there so make it first or be running your zip extractor of choice as administrator. Once thats done open C:/android and run the file sdk manager, it will automagicly bring up a update prompt, click update all/accept all, and go have that sandwich, when it's done close both the update window and the command prompt window. right click on [My]Computer select properties, advanced system settings, open the advanced tab and click environment variables. in the bottom half click CLASSPATH, then click edit, and add ";c:/android/platform-tools/adb.exe;c:/android/screencast.jnlp;" click ok, then in the bottom box again, scroll down to PATH, click edit and add, ";C:/android;C:/android/platform-tools;" click ok, scroll down to PATHEXT, click edit and add, ";.jnlp;" this one is for screen cast which you'll think is cool so get it here. i recommend saving this file to C:/android, and renaming it from androidscreencast.jnlp to just screencast.jnlp considering we edited the system variables just this in the first place...


once all these things have been done restart you computer, and open up cmd, make sure your phone is just plugged into your computer, and type in "screencast" hit enter and play with your phone for a second.

now that the cool screen cast thing is over, open up CMD type in what ever your adb commands are, adb push..., adb shell..., adb reboot recovery..., ect.

You can do it from the terminal emu in this link above but you should use the newer thunderC recovery http://forum.androidcentral.com/lg-...ustom-recovery-optimus-s-thunderc-sprint.html

Except that that custom recovery doesnt actually support all Optimus Ss, so you should probably be using xionia. Xionia custom recover has drivers for both newer and older screens where as thunderc only has the drivers for the older screen. Both recoveries are great for older releases of our phone, but only xiona works for all of them.

If you have a newer optimus s and you use thunder you could just end up with a black screen when in recovery. I would just stick with Xionia

You could try the concurrent three button "menu +volume down +power" after pulling the battery to effect a power down. Release all 3 buttons when you see the lg logo.

Nope, the phone just starts to get a little warm and the lg screen stays on forever

You need to release all three buttons at the same time, at the start up of the lg logo. Maybe try a couple more times?

You could also try to use the following adb commands, if you left usb debugging checked. I am doubtful though since these usually have to be issued on a booted device, either at recovery or on a booted rom.

adb shell
reboot recovery

Adb was a good idea but it didn't work either. Time after time i couldn't get it to recovery or anything else. I had to end up taking it to the Sprint Store where they are getting me a replacement Friday. I can use my old Hero to make calls and text messages over data still as long as i have a wifi connection (thank god for google voice and sprint integration)

Thanks anyways.
