Optimus Elite CWM Recovery(Updated 9/25/12)

[kwknott]

Thanks to Giantpune over at AF we now have a working CWM recovery for the Optimus Elite.

Everything has been tested and found to be working but as always there is the risk of bricking your phone so you assume that risk and no one else will be held responsible. If your not sure what you are doing, research it before you begin.

You can find the newest version here along with a guide to help you install ... Optimus Elite CWM FAQ

**If Giantpune gives me the ok I will post the link to file here with a quick guide... Until I get the ok follow the link above

We should also have a copy of drews touch recovery here sometime soon!!

Re: Recovery Development

We have a dev (Drew Walton) helping over at Android Forums and is willing to take on task of getting clockwork mod going on the Elite.

A few other dev's have tried but something with this phone is proving difficult to get a working recovery. We are trying to get some donations so this dev can get an Elite to work with. So far some nice people have thrown $90 toward it. If anyone want to throw a few more in you can go to wepay donation page

https://www.wepay.com/donations/optimus-elite-development

The goal is $165 to cover phone and taxes. The. Site will stop accepting once goal is hit. You can keep up with the dev thread here...

Howdy kwknott!

As I said in my intro over there, Android Central is my home

So how is it looking? I would love to get some ROMs and kernals for this thing. I haven't even rooted yet, I'm just waiting around.

Re: Recovery Development

not looking good in my opinion. but i do not have insider info to really tell you one way or the other. my opinion is based on the absolute deadness of about any elite forum you visit. even where there is activity,the talk isnt around doing much. usually just general use conversation.

 

[ThatTechHead]

Yeah, I've seen the same stuff. I would try and help out and do stuff myself but I don't have a network set up yet (just moved) and only have a crappy vaio laptop to use. Eventually ill start developing but that's most likely next year. Do you know what is preventing the installation of a recovery?

Drew said lg did something in the boot loader. Last time I talked to him, he hasn't been able to work on it much because of work and all of the other devices he supports. Just give him time.

I just donated. I hate this phone as it is, need to remove crap from it. Wonder if we can fix all the 'vanishing' green bars all the time.

[curtis1973]

Re: Recovery Development

OP Updated with link to CWM thread at AF... If it's ok with GiantPune I'll post the file and a guide here

 

[curtis1973]

thank you kw. I wasn't sure I would get to it this evening. my work has me heavily tied up at the moment.

 

[redrunner1985]
