Yes I also included the CWMT when I did it too, that was just a typo on my part when i was posting here
i figured as much. alright, hmm......
well, i tried deleting flash_image from the top level of my sdcard, and the recovery still flashed successfully....so i don't think that's the problem after all. you should still try it though.
Couple questions before I install........ I had problems flashing reborn rom and other rom's on th7 is that fixed? Also does it support Zionist backups?

Is it ok to use the flash image from Xionia with this CWMT recovery and try to install it like i would Xionia?
yes, try following the instructions to install xionia, except replace the xionia recovery.img with the cwmt recovery.img

you're right, that doesn't make any sense.....
i'm sure you've thought of this, but usb storage mode is off, right? that's the only other reason i can think of that it wouldn't be able to read the sdcard.
What do you guys think of a flashable zip that installs CWMT over an already installed custom recovery?
Also, I will be improving the instructions with a link to the flash_image binary. I seem to have overlooked that one.

i'm in favor of that. since everyone is used to flashing things from recovery anyway. and most automatic rooting processes for the optimus S install xionia, so it would make sense to be able to install cwmt this way.
also, why do you suppose i was able to flash to recovery even after removing flash_image from the top level of the sd? is that normal?
Flash_image is not run from the sd card. You apparently had previously installed it to /system/(x)bin
And I'll get right on that sometime tomorrow. I have some Minecrafting to do

oh, interesting. I guess as a result of either automated rooting & recovery or installing xionia myself?
For all of you having trouble using flash_image here are the easy instructions.
1) download drews 5.0.2.7 cwmt recovery image and place on root of SD card. Rename it to recovery.img for ease of use later.
2) download flash_image binary, save to SD card.
3) use a root browser and place flash_image into system/(x)bin. Give it standard perms use another binary for an example if you are unsure.
4) REBOOT
5) Open up term emulator and type su, confirm when you are prompted.
6) In term emulator type this flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
There you go that should get you running cwmt, its the way I flash recoveries and it is very simple.
Thx to drew_walton for porting cwmt to our awesome phones.

OK, so I was up to midnight last night trying to I install this recovery with no luck. Kept getting file not found blah blah. I went to bed with Xionia still as my recovery.
Well when I was at work I notice my 3g not working, so I figure I would just do a reboot to see if that would help resetting the signal. Well it got stuck at the boot animation (what I think is a boot loop, could be wrong). So I pulled the battery and reinstalled and tried again to boot and again it got stuck at the boot animation. So I figure I would pull battery again and do the 3 button to get into recovery, because Xionia has the bootloop fix or I would try a nandroid. So I held down the buttons until the lg splash screen. It looked like it was going to recovery but in booted into android. So since I was in android now I would just hold the power button to get the boot options and use that to boot into recovery and again in booted into android. It did this 3 times. Well on the 4th try of trying to get recovery to come up it did. Was I surprised what I saw! CWMT Recovery. Don't ask me how it got there cause I have no idea! When I went to bed it was still Xionia, when I got up and Fooled around with it was Xionia. But now it's CWMT! I am still scratching my head!
But hey great job Drew! It's cool.
EDIT: BootLoop problem was fixed by flashing picasticks-07 kernel back onto phone
