Please any and all help is greatly appreciate it..

You should probably try that last command one more time. 5th time's the charm.

On a more serious note.
1) Make sure it's in the same directory as adb.
2) rename the damn file to an easier name. newrecovery.img is fine (or w/e you want).
3) I didn't need the whole printout of adb commands, but thanks ;)

ClockworkMod Recovery (Unofficial)​
Finally we have fully functioning CWM recovery for the LG C800, also known as the T-Mobile USA MyTouch Q, also known as the Bell/Virgin Canada Eclypse! After many said it couldn't be done... here we are!
cp0bq.png
How to Install
0. Prerequisites
You will need:
- ADB and fastboot (http://dottech.org/downloads/adb_fastboot_and_other_tools.zip)
- LG's ADB drivers, available here.

Optionally, you will need:
- Root. (Use SuperOneClick root) Note: Root is not required for flashing via fastboot, but may be required for recovering should anything go wrong!

1. Back up your old recovery! ROOT REQUIRED
Open up a shell on your device by using adb shell or running your terminal emulator.
If you see a $ prompt, type
Code:
su
to get root. Otherwise if you see a # prompt you are ready to proceed.
Type
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/sdcard/stock-recovery.img
to write the stock recovery to your sd card. This will take about 8 MB of space.

2. Prepare the phone for future awesomeness

First, we must get the device into fastboot mode. In order to do this you must be able to have ADB access to the device. ADB is accessible when you are on the charging screen and when the phone is fully booted. You can enable ADB (debugging) access in the Application settings to access the adb service while your phone is fully booted.

Get the phone to the charging screen or enable ADB in the OS. Now, plug in the phone and verify you have adb access from your computer:
Code:
adb devices

If your phone is not showing up, go into device manager and make sure the LG ADB drivers are properly installed.

Once you have ADB access, run this command on your computer:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader

This brings the device into fastboot mode. What does fastboot mode look like? Well, it looks like a whole lot of nothing, mainly. If your phone boots up at this point and hangs out at the LG logo for a while, you're in fastboot mode. To verify it's in fastboot mode, run
Code:
fastboot devices

it should show something like

Code:
C:\androidsdk\platform-tools\> fastboot devices
?               fastboot

If you see this, you are ready to flash!

3. Flash!

To flash, first run

Code:
fastboot erase recovery
This erases the recovery partition and ensures that everything is zeroed out so nothing gets in the way.

Now run
Code:
fastboot flash recovery C:\Path\to\downloaded\lgc800-recovery-cwm-chui101.img
protip: Tab autocompletes. It saves a lot of key strokes if you have a lot of long folder names like I do!

It should almost instantaneously transfer the recovery image, and pause just a few seconds more to write the CWM recovery image. When done, you can type
Code:
fastboot reboot
to reboot the phone back into the main OS.

4. Reboot into recovery!
To reboot into recovery:

- Issue an adb reboot recovery from your computer wherever you have ADB access (charging screen, stock recovery, or the main Android environment if you have it enabled there.)
- Or, from the phone's powered off state, hold down VOL DOWN, F, and A, and press the power button. Once the LG logo appears, you can release the power button. Once the LG logo disappears and reappears, release all the the buttons.

Welcome to CWM recovery! You can take a nandroid backup, mount USB storage, and flash zips from here! Hopefully this opens the door to CM9 and other custom ROMs on this device!
Buttons are:
MENU or VOL+ = up
HOME or VOL- = down
GENIUS or ENTER = select
BACK or DEL = back

Note: If anything goes wrong, you can return to stock recovery by using
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/stock-recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
, or by using the CWM flashable zip available below. Note: Above command REQUIRES ROOT.

Downloads
It is recommended that you check the MD5 sum of your downloads!

CWM 6.0.1.2 Fastboot Image MD5: b8d15a0ee9486f0a9662dd5747c50c43
CWM 6.0.1.2 CWM Flashable ZIP MD5: 44ec9d19d5814fcfac8397c7d9a77559
USB functionality has been fixed as of 25 August. If you downloaded 6.0.1.2 before then, you might need to flash the update! If you are having any additional issues with this recovery please let me know!

dd if=/sdcard/stock-recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17

EASIEST WAY TO FLASH CWM: in stead of putting dd if=/sdcard/stock-recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17

Put the name of your recovery where it says stock recovery.img. all in terminal emulator. Then when its done flashing type reboot recovery. Bing!

Only way I got it to work.

I've gone back through the post and re-read everything and I'm still getting the same problem. I even tried "fastboot boot cwm-filename" and it says it booted ok, but than I get errors saying there are too many lines and I can't do anything with fastboot until I pull the battery and boot the phone again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My phone is not rooted (can't get it rooted either), and I'm running stock 2.3.6 with upgraded firmware.

If you read a couple post back read all my post in the last 2 pages easier way to put cwm on your phone straight from terminal emulator

I don't understand why your can't get it rooted. I just used Unlock Root for both my husband's 2.3.4 c-800 pre and post update and his newest one with built in 2.3.6 . Both rooted no problems with the same program installed in my comp. Now to get CWM installed via emulator on the phone, I'll have to go back and read that. Cause I've had issue just getting ADB and getting the emulator to stay open on my comp.. I don't understand why it isn't in flashable format yet. It's been several months since a CWM method was created to begin with and too many people are having trouble with this one.

It looks like your phone's partition table might be different (or maybe they changed something in the 2.3.6 OTA?) I'm not sure why it wouldn't root properly though. If you have debugging enabled, using SuperOneClick should do the trick.

I've tried SuperOneClick and it pushes busybox and a bunch of stuff to the phone, than when it gets to step 7 and says waiting for device and nothing happens past that. I also tried rootunlock (or something to that effect) that someone else suggested to get root and it fails with the error that it couldn't get root shell. Debugging is enabled. Here is my partition list...

$ cat /proc/partitions

major minor #blocks name
7 0 72808 loop0
179 0 3817472 mmcblk0
179 1 245760 mmcblk0p1

    ClockworkMod Recovery (Unofficial)​
    Finally we have fully functioning CWM recovery for the LG C800, also known as the T-Mobile USA MyTouch Q, also known as the Bell/Virgin Canada Eclypse! After many said it couldn't be done... here we are!
    cp0bq.png
    How to Install
    0. Prerequisites
    You will need:
    - ADB and fastboot (http://dottech.org/downloads/adb_fastboot_and_other_tools.zip)
    - LG's ADB drivers, available here.

    Optionally, you will need:
    - Root. (Use SuperOneClick root) Note: Root is not required for flashing via fastboot, but may be required for recovering should anything go wrong!

    1. Back up your old recovery! ROOT REQUIRED
    Open up a shell on your device by using adb shell or running your terminal emulator.
    If you see a $ prompt, type
    Code:
    su
    to get root. Otherwise if you see a # prompt you are ready to proceed.
    Type
    Code:
    dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/sdcard/stock-recovery.img
    to write the stock recovery to your sd card. This will take about 8 MB of space.

    2. Prepare the phone for future awesomeness

    First, we must get the device into fastboot mode. In order to do this you must be able to have ADB access to the device. ADB is accessible when you are on the charging screen and when the phone is fully booted. You can enable ADB (debugging) access in the Application settings to access the adb service while your phone is fully booted.

    Get the phone to the charging screen or enable ADB in the OS. Now, plug in the phone and verify you have adb access from your computer:
    Code:
    adb devices

    If your phone is not showing up, go into device manager and make sure the LG ADB drivers are properly installed.

    Once you have ADB access, run this command on your computer:
    Code:
    adb reboot bootloader

    This brings the device into fastboot mode. What does fastboot mode look like? Well, it looks like a whole lot of nothing, mainly. If your phone boots up at this point and hangs out at the LG logo for a while, you're in fastboot mode. To verify it's in fastboot mode, run
    Code:
    fastboot devices

    it should show something like

    Code:
    C:\androidsdk\platform-tools\> fastboot devices
    ?               fastboot

    If you see this, you are ready to flash!

    3. Flash!

    To flash, first run

    Code:
    fastboot erase recovery
    This erases the recovery partition and ensures that everything is zeroed out so nothing gets in the way.

    Now run
    Code:
    fastboot flash recovery C:\Path\to\downloaded\lgc800-recovery-cwm-chui101.img
    protip: Tab autocompletes. It saves a lot of key strokes if you have a lot of long folder names like I do!

    It should almost instantaneously transfer the recovery image, and pause just a few seconds more to write the CWM recovery image. When done, you can type
    Code:
    fastboot reboot
    to reboot the phone back into the main OS.

    4. Reboot into recovery!
    To reboot into recovery:

    - Issue an adb reboot recovery from your computer wherever you have ADB access (charging screen, stock recovery, or the main Android environment if you have it enabled there.)
    - Or, from the phone's powered off state, hold down VOL DOWN, F, and A, and press the power button. Once the LG logo appears, you can release the power button. Once the LG logo disappears and reappears, release all the the buttons.

    Welcome to CWM recovery! You can take a nandroid backup, mount USB storage, and flash zips from here! Hopefully this opens the door to CM9 and other custom ROMs on this device!
    Buttons are:
    MENU or VOL+ = up
    HOME or VOL- = down
    GENIUS or ENTER = select
    BACK or DEL = back

    Note: If anything goes wrong, you can return to stock recovery by using
    Code:
    dd if=/sdcard/stock-recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
    , or by using the CWM flashable zip available below. Note: Above command REQUIRES ROOT.

    Downloads
    It is recommended that you check the MD5 sum of your downloads!

    CWM 6.0.1.2 Fastboot Image MD5: b8d15a0ee9486f0a9662dd5747c50c43
    CWM 6.0.1.2 CWM Flashable ZIP MD5: 44ec9d19d5814fcfac8397c7d9a77559
    USB functionality has been fixed as of 25 August. If you downloaded 6.0.1.2 before then, you might need to flash the update! If you are having any additional issues with this recovery please let me know!

    As a convenience, I mirrored all the stuff you might need to get an LGC800 T-Mobile myTouch Q rooted, modified, or unbricked at:

    http://mediafire.com/strumcat

    Drivers, ADB/fastboot, Chui's recovery, flashable superuser, factory ROMs 2.3.4 and 2.3.6, and tools for opening the ROMs and/or unbricking with them.

    As usual, use them at your own risk.

    To answer the question about CM9, yes, it's working and Chui has done a great job. Thanks, Chui, and all the other developers who provided all this great software.

    Thanks chui101 for getting the ball rolling. Good work.

    Is there a link to the kernel source for the LGE C800?

    I would certainly be interested in compiling a kernel and CM7 or even CM9. I have all the proprietary files needed, just need to dig around in the source and I'll upload to my github repo.

    Yeah they have a 2.6 series kernel for gingerbread posted:

    http://www.lg.com/global/support/opensource/opensource.jsp

    search for LGC800, and it should be there.

    I'm trying to get CM9 to build and I think I'm way over my head with the kernel config! :eek:
