When i read the title of this thread it makes me want to say "Ok, let's backtrack. Where is the last place you remember having it?"

Anyway, here are the steps from beginning to end on how to root, flash a custom recovery, make a backup, and flash a ROM all without a PC. - http://forum.androidcentral.com/lg-...t-recovery-rom-without-touching-computer.html

These work on V9 which i think i read you say you have v9 rooted with z4?

So your Android boots right? Why don't you go through every step in the CWMA recovery thread and post the output here. Also which version of CWMA recovery are you using?

I'm 100% speculating here but it almost sounds like the person did the part where they rename the stock recovery to .bak but never pushed the custom recovery or something went wrong or a mistake was made while typing or on and on. Basically, it sounds like theres no recovery kernel right now.

Certainly possible.

A lot is being left unsaid though and I can't pinpoint for sure what was done, what was done, but with error messages, what was skipped, etc., especially when piggybacking on another thread that was equally not that forthcoming with information.

Lets tie spenfive down and make him give us the info! (kidding spen )

Spenfive please do the following:
1) From your phone open menu>Settings>About Phone and please type out what's in "SW version"
2) on your phone open a terminal emulator and type
su [press enter]
does it come back with $ or #

You answer those and it will give us plenty to move forward with. Until then, we're shooting in the dark.

 

[spenfive]

In terminal entered su came back with #, sw version ls670zv9

so, you are rooted. thats progress.

chances are, like kevin said, something happened with the file name for the recovery...

 

[sfhub]

In terminal entered su came back with #, sw version ls670zv9

So could you go through the rest of the commands used to install Xionia and list the output (preferably exactly as it comes back)

$ su
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
# cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
# chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
# mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
# mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/xionia_cwma_12518.6.img
# reboot recovery

 

[spenfive]

oh yeah

Ok people, noob got into cwma recovery, was putting files into / instead of /sdcard, sorry for all the confusion, however, the info you all posted made me look further into it.

Reading EVERYTHING about every instruction is crucial. You can miss a single letter in ADB mode and screw up everything up...
