LG Optimus V CWM Problem

[AndyOpie150]

It's best to use Windows. You will need the LG USB drivers found here: http://www.lg-phones.org/wp-content/uploads/LG-Optimus-V.zip

Then you will need to install the Android SDK and set the path to the adb.exe (which is in the platform-tools folder). This can best be done by going here: http://www.support-4-you.com/main/i...d-adb-installation&catid=40:how-tos&Itemid=57
If you don't get the proper output from: adb devices, then click on the last link in the tutorial for explanation on how to set the path manually. When you have all that done, let us know. The rest will have to be walked thru. If nobody jumps in to help, you will have to wait for me to help tomorrow at this time. I get the best 3G speed at 3-5 in the morning Florida time. Any other time and the 3G is horrible.

One other thing: You need to verify you still have root. After installing drivers (phone unplugged/ reboot after install) and SDK, open up a command line (prompt) with phone plugged in type in:
cd..
cd..
cd C:/SDK/platform-tools
adb shell (if you get a # after this your rooted).
If you got a $ then type in:
su (if you got a # you rooted).
If you got a $, your not rooted. You will need to use the Gordita root exploit. Let us know how it goes.

I think that would work. How would I flash a recovery using shell commands? And does it make a difference that I have a Mac? I'd prefer to do it on OS X but if need be, I can switch over to a Windows 8 OS and use that instead.

Andy is right, for some reason Windows works better then Mac's (Apple) do, mostly because more people use Windows then Apple, and because most developers use a Linux O/S for most of there work Linux is even better to use.

Puppy Slacko or SuperOS 11.10 would be a good start for Linux OS's. SuperOS 11.10 is my daily driver because it has an intella-hide app bar. Puppy Slacko can be used while still on flash drive so it doesn't matter what computer the flash drive is inserted into. You never have to leave your work on your main computer.
