Root [One Click][Updated]LG Spectrum All in One Pkg for Root, CWM Touch Recovery, and Unroot

Trying to download the one click link that roots your phone and install cwm. The links seem to all be broken and all that is left is to manually install cwm through sdk and that is very time consuming and difficult. I dont know how to access the adb etc. I have rooted my phone but is having trouble getting cwm. You would think a youtube video or a tutorial on this would have been made but Can anyone help.

Just to double confirm this, you can make a android backup in clockworkmod recovery for the spectrum? (AKA NANDROID) Just making sure before I go and start rooting my spectrum and installing Roms because I like the stock Rom its got in there a lot.. Thanks and have a great day!! :)
 
Yes. The bootloader is unlocked on this phone. When you're rooted, install cwm, reboot into recovery and backup.

Thank you so much!! I had to unlock my bootloader on my evo shift before i got the spectrum.. Was a pain but got it done.. also if you want to see some of my work im in the htc evo shift xda android development and the hero cdma development.. I could port Joyos, Shenduos, Mokeeos and lewaos to our spectrum, I just need a stable CM7.. I've also ported ICS.. Let me know if you need anything and have a great day! :)
 
Yeah if you read a bit more in this forum, you'll find deving and kanging isn't going well. I built cm7 but it wouldn't boot past a gray screen. Others had the same results. Kangs are also not booting, so we're all mystified, since Kangs are the one thing that should boot.

Couple of ways to do it:

1) Using the AllInOne, plug in your device, debugging enabled etc., select option (7).
2) install app like ROM ToolBox or Titanium Backup. In these apps, there is an option to reboot phone and then there will be a sub-menu giving you the option to reboot into recovery.

As far as broken out, i'd recommend downloading the latest version. You only need to get 3.0 and install that zip.

I am totally new as well I have an lg spectrum. what ROM(s) are good ones. I'd like to start out simple and perhaps with something more battery conserving, memory controlling stuff. im downloading ROM toolbox. can I just download,for sake of arguement latest version of what one your talking about through google? or does the toolbox app have thoes in there? and It needs to be in there before I root so when I go into recovery to flash the file is there to load right?:)
 
Yea it works, BUT and this is a BIG ONE, you *must* use the all in one tool to install it and you cannot flash it in rom manager. Cwm in the tool was specifically ported for this device and other versions will brick your phone.

I used the all in one tool to first root, then I rebooted and used it to install cwm. No problems at all. You can also use the tool to remove cwm and I believe unroot.

I dont know, but I think you were replying to me. I hope. Im going to do it in that order exactly. root then install cwm then restore reboot I believe it was. I will follow directions. I didnt think I could/should choose option 7 before I rooted because I didnt think it would do anything. so root first and then do all the rest right?:confused:

so once I've rooted and installed cwm, then I can make a back upcopy of the stock ROM and kernel so I can put it back on and install ics if i should so choose?

so it has to be installed after rooting? and CWM does work on the spectrum?

so after rooting and all. I went into cwm and recovery and backup. chose backup, that backs up the stock ROM so I can reinstall it If I need to right? and kernel as well, all the firmwhare and softwhare for the stock lg spectrum factory settings right?:)

it backups what you have currently. It only backups data, system, boot, recovery, and sd-ext if it exist.

FYI, we already have you covered on that.

Being as restoring a nandroid does not restore the original recovery, you would need this link anyways.

so the backup I made wont restore to original ROM? I have to do the v6 process to get the stock back? also, can I flash roms and kernels to it even though its not back to stock yet? and then I would imagine that the v6 process will restore to factory from whatever I have done with roms and kernels...(within limits):)
 
Well I was rooted on BP w/kernal, went bk to stock, and I'm attempting to root & cwm via the allin1 and I'm getting

Rooting
Press any key to continue...
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *

and it hangs there...

I have done this a couple of times before and not had this problem. I also read a fix to this and tried it with no luck. Please help???

***update*** I had the wrong drivers installed...installed the correct one and viola, I'm rooted again.
 
Has anyone else noticed rommanager now has support for spectrum and black plague rom? There might be bugs, I tried flashing recovery over the recovery installed by aio and it seems to
work but when running recovery it lists the aio installed recovery version number. also getting some weird stuff i'm trying to sort out, button combo entry doesn't work, interestingly, I can get to download mode.
 
Playful God got our version of CWM working correctly, and is now official. Black Plague is on there because that is Playful God's rom. how long ago did you use the AIO to install cwm? If it has been within the past week or two, that would explain why is shows the AIO version. PG updated the AIo with the newest official CWM. However from what I have read the free version on Rom Manager is non touch, and the touch version is an extra 1.99.
 
Since rommanager is confused over aio installed recovery, I used aio to install PG's posted recovery (cwr 6.0.1.0). Be aware there are currently big issues with cwr 6.0+ new incremental backup format.

What issues are you currently aware of? The only thing I've noticed is that you can not manually go in and blow aware directories from a file browsers anymore.
 
PG, you should update the cwm image again. The 6.0.1.0 version changes the backup method to incremental and the actual files are deduped which is very nice but it does have some side effects like 32,000+ files in the blobs directory (the actual backed up files), giving those who copy the backups to their PC problems. CWM made version 6.0.1.1 which gives the user a choice of the full backup in one directory (tar method) or the new incremental method. The choice is offered in CWR under advanced, it saves a file .backupmethod so the choice is sticky. If a user likes the incremental method a file .nomedia is needed to keep the phone from appearing to hang when it scans the SD card media (reboots, remounts, etc.).
