Philz Advanced Edition 5
CWM for the Virgin Mobile LG Optimus F3
* CWM Version 6.0.3.7

This is an older version of CWM: 6.0.3.7
This is a non touch version of CWM
I couldn't get the touch version to work.

To use, you must use the volume keys to navigate, and use the power button to make your selection.

Philz Advanced Edition 5 CWM gives you a few more options than the standard CWM.

This is not to be a better recovery than any others posted on this forum, It's just an alternative. I compiled it for fun.

Credit goes to Philz for all of his hard work.

Is there any way to install this without a computer like how you can on CWM touch?

extract the zip file, under the files folder you will find a bunch of files. The ones you need are:
aboot.img
Philz-recovery.lok
aromafm.zip
Click to expand...

Copy aromafm.zip to either your internal sd card, or your external sd card. It must go into this folder

/storage/sdcard0/clockworkmod/aromafm/
Click to expand...
or
/storage/external_SD/clockworkmod/aromafm/
Click to expand...

copy both aboot.img and Philz-recovery.lok to your internal sd card to this folder
/storage/sdcard0/
Click to expand...

Run these commands inside of a terminal app. Any Terminal app will do.
  • dd if=/storage/sdcard0/aboot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot
  • dd if=/storage/sdcard0/Philz-recovery.lok of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

Cwm is telling me I don't have the aromafm.zip. I had to put it in clockworkmod/aromafm/ instead of clockworkmod/aroma/

Thanks for the instructions though!
