Root Problems with CWMod Recovery

[kylemac17]

I'm having some trouble with flashing ClockworkMod's Recovery. It seems that I can successfully flash the recovery (I get the message that says the recovery has flashed successfully) and I can reboot into within Rom Manager. But when I try to reboot into after powering off with the SEND+MENU+PWR keys pressed and releasing at the LG logo, I get the yellow exclamation point triangle and android guy and my phone reboots to the home screen. I read Dots' guide and followed it accurately, I was even able to backup my Stock Rom via rom manager.

I'm rooted and would really like to try out some custom roms but I want to be sure I have a working recovery before I take the plunge.

If anyone has any suggestions they would be much appreciated

Thanks

Try removing the file called install-recovery.sh It is what restores the stock recovery and keeps custom recoveries from sticking.

Two ways.

1. In terminal emulator or adb:

su

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak

or

Download the attatchment called "Signed_kill_install-recovery.sh" from this post. http://androidforums.com/getitnowmarketing/146564-ally-recovery-img-here-custom-roms.html

Thanks dots, I tried the commands in terminal emulator. Tried to reboot into recovery and it was the same old story, I'll try them in adb and the other option too though.

Those need to be removed prior to flashing recovery or flash the zip while in custom recovery.

I think I got it, I flashed the alternate recovery instead and go figure it works right away.

Thanks you two
