Root ClockWorkMod

I also tried this with the latest build you posted:

C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb shell
$ su
su
# dd if=/sdcard/BobZhome_recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14
dd if=/sdcard/BobZhome_recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14
10968+0 records in
10968+0 records out
5615616 bytes transferred in 1.939 secs (2896140 bytes/sec)
#

That just loops also.

 

[slutyman]

can we try this app from optimus v

FlashImageGUI.apk

 

[BobZhome]

ok, looks like fastboot is out...
Let's try this one: VM696_CWM.zip
It's worked on other LG phones!

Maybe it's the recovery...I that one that just loops was built with my jellybean branch.
Try this one: recovery.img
it was built with my gingerbread branch.

EDIT: It does hurt to try FlashImageGUI.apk

Yea, I've tried them all using dd commands. They all loop.

adb reboot bootloader (unfortunately, this command does not work on this phone, it just reboots the device normally)
fastboot.exe devices (fastboot doesn't work either)
fastboot.exe flash recovery BobZhome_recovery.img
fastboot.exe reboot

No clue if something like this will work to get fastboot working on our phones but it might be something to look into.
