Root ClockWorkMod

Ok, so long story short I tested a build from utkanos and completely hard bricked my phone, it still connect to my computer screen off and all in a mode called "QHSUSB" I think.. or something like that WEIRD stuff. I got a new phone, problem being this is my 6th one... I don't think I should test anymore or bestbuy is not going to like me. So if anyone wants clockwork, we need testers who are AWARE of what could happen.
BTW 5 of the 6 phones I screwed up personally and by stupid mistakes.. this one that I just screwed up, probably still my fault but I can't prove that it was me, so I wont blame me just yet lol.
 
Lol I bricked 5 HTC wildfire S and radio shack said NO MORE returns, so I had to buy a new one with warranty and all :p
 
Lol I tried so hard not to but they push me..but anyway someone willing please pm me we have builds to be tested

We tested 2 builds one didn't work and the other bricked the phone. Just this morning utkanos asked for EVERY block on the phone so I sent him all blocks from mmcblk0p1 up until mmcblk0p21. Not sure what he is going to do with this, but we will see probably in two days. considering im going to wildwood newjersey tomrrow all day(7/1/2012) and then when I get home ill probably sleep. But he might not even have a test for a couple of days anyway :)
 
Well, I sent the links on the day of the update but utkanos didn't get a hold of them until today so we will see, I give it another day or two lol
 
[10:06] <@utkanos> salvy512: is someone willing to try fastboot in the bootloader on your device? looks like partition 17 has some fastboot esque code in it
[13:32] <@utkanos> im willing to still work on this if I can get a device in hand, but it doesnt look promising, sorry salvy512 :\

We need to find fastboot o.o well a way to get into bootloader so we can do fastboot or something
 
I was under the impression that one would have to screw up flashing a recovery in order to get access to fastboot on a phone like this one.

I did try many different methods and key combinations for older optimus phones in order to use fastboot without any success. If anybody has suggestions, I may try them.

I'm thinking we should start enlisting some others help with CWM. You guys know anyone?

I'm not sure if we could pull someone away from the Optimus V dev corner to help or not. I think this phone will be a little bit to get a working recovery, especially since the phone is pretty great on stock with root already in my opinion.

Edit: I didn't mean to sound negative, that's just my...forecast.

I've been googling "port cwm to new device" and I came across Koushik Dutta websiteMy Brain Hurts: Porting Clockwork Recovery to New Devices

I've also read that Koushik has ported cwm for other lg devices. Maybe worth a shot, my only problem is I could not afford to be without my phone for a week or more. Maybe someone can email him ,ask him if he has any ideas. Don't know just throwing ideas out.
 
It's worth a shot. We will be able to succeed as long as we avoid the fetal position at any point.

I'd rather not be without my phone. Is anybody willing to chip in to buy Koushik an Elite?

EDIT: Has anybody given this Recovery Builder a shot?
Recovery Builder

I just did a build ( recovery http://builder.clockworkmod.com/downloads/35162af9664a0d84a73e5178700742fd.img [Jenkins] ), though I'm certainly hesitant to try it.

I flashed it, Nothing =/ Although hesitant myself I can't help but not stay out lol

I talked to utkanos:
[02:02] <@utkanos> thats what i was building for you
[02:02] <@utkanos> basically
[02:02] <@utkanos> without the bot
[02:02] <@utkanos> i did it myself
[02:02] <salvy512> Well, was worth looking at until now lol
[02:02] <@utkanos> but the website utilizes the same build I am doing
