Root SLOW Work in progress, porting custom recovery over

Does it really work? I have a crippled Q I can test it on. But it really works?

Crippled? Remove battery, hold down HOME, power on, and you can fastboot no matter what.
From fastboot you can load recovery, system partition, whatever.

Follow the thread, with the exception of fastboot instructions, and holding down HOME to boot.

It was there for people to test, and chui made a build the same time as I did. Nobody needs it now.

It totally works. Would you like a picture?

If you don't like CWM, I can port any other recovery for you.

All of the builds are still available here:

Recovery Builder

mudtub's build is #582

chui101's build is #584

I'm using mudtub's build. It's sort of historic as the first successful c800 cwm build ever. This thread is also sort of historic, since it tells the whole story of what actually happened and gives proper credit to all the people who really did the heavy lifting, and all the people who sacrificed their c800's to make it happen. It should be saved and archived, because it's a good lesson in human nature.
 
i go to flash the recovery that you guys been working on, thanks by the way! so i go to reboot into bootloader it works but i cant get fastboot to work. why is this?

If you use ADB to look for devices that are in fastboot mode, you won't find anything! Only
Code: 
fastboot devices
will return a result.

Hey, mudtub, can you walk me through the button boot into fastboot mode? I haven't been able to get it to work.

The way I get into fastboot is plug phone into PC power off and let it reboot into the battery icon and in cmd type adb reboot bootloader
Then when hanging at log screen type fastboot devices.

Remove battery, reinsert battery. Hold down HOME button on physical keyboard, depress power. Connect USB when it hangs at LG logo.
