Root ClockWorkMod

I tried this app, but it doesn't see my phone. The drivers are setup and working fine with QPST, QXDM, and LGNPST. But for whatever reason, this app doesn't list my phone.


Looking at the source code for this kernel module that handles rebooting, it has 3 special cases; "bootloader", "recovery", and "oem-##". The first two of them seem like they are the ones called by the quickboot program, and both of them just reboot the phone. The 'oem-' one handles an 8-bit number, so 256 different possibilities like "oem-0", "oem-1", "oem-2", ect. Do we have a simple way yet to actually send these commands with custom strings like "oem-..."? I see adb lets us send the recovery and bootloader strings, but it makes no mention of being able to send "oem-0" or anything like that.
 
I got it to work. What I had to do was uncheck Auto Search and then click Add New Port.... After that I put my COM port number in the Port text box and for the Port Label I put "LGE Android Platform USB Serial Port (COM#)" without the quotations. Then I clicked OK and my phone appeared. I checked the check box and clicked "Connect". The LGE Mobile Security prompt didn't show up and when I clicked Download it says "Error! can't open serial port(reboot and reconnect)". It only showed my phone when it was in DIAG mode. So, is there anything I could try next to get it to work?
 
Same result. When in DIAG mode it just shows that the phone is in Emergency Mode and lists the Compiled Date and Released Date. When the phone is in Download mode it shows the phone is in Normal Mode and the IMEI, Bluetooth Addr, and Cal Date say NOT_ACTIVE______.
EDIT: I haven't rooted my phone yet, should I have rooted it before I even tried this?
 
Im just curious, is this the only LG phone that people have had trouble figuring out how to flash a custom recovery? I'm new to rooting myself and have no prior experience, I'm just thinking if there was this problem with any other LG phone that has been resolved then maybe the process will be the same?
 
I'm pretty sure our bootloader is locked and can't be accessed. Unless someone finds a magical way to unlock it, bootloader and fastboot are out.

I know on the optimus v the only way to get fastboot was to royaly screw your rom and recovery.
 
I got into fastboot on my OV was testing a recovery (i flashed wit android terminal emulator) then got errors. Then typing reboot recovery got me in fastboot
 
Yeah when I was a noob and first rooted my ov, I was a victim of rom manager :banghead: which messed up my phone and got me a pretty blue fastboot screen

A dev who was helping me yesterday said he knows the guy who made the Optimus M+ recovery, and said he'd ask him about it. I'm waiting on that...

Yup.
 
Just throwing an idea out there, but is there anyway we could get CWM from using the phone's stock recovery menu?
 
Well, fwiw, I went ahead and ran a bash loop with all the "adb reboot oem-##" from 00 to ff. And after each one, I tried "fastboot devices". I see that "oem-42" and "oem-78" put some phones into their fastboot mode. But none of the entire 256 worked for me on this phone (DIAG was enabled).

I found a site that has a root toolkit that unlocks bootloader wanted to know if you guys can check it out.

here's the link [ToolKit] Nexus 7 one click root tool ! - xda-developers

True. Some members lack patience and some act like they've paid for a product or service which hasn't been delivered.

Help make it happen.

A custom recovery for this phone isn't coming soon.
