[Q] I Still Don't Get It...

---

Hello all,

Okay, I'm a total noob when it comes to the LG Revo. I had my D1 and my DX and I worked it all out and had it setup and rooted just fine, but the LG and this OTA ZV8 update is killing me. So here is my dilemma.

First I don't get the lingo...clockworkmod (CWM) = boot screen/command screen, right...like dos kinda?

Second, flash? What is that is that where I hold power + volume down button to get boot/command/dos screen, when phone is powered off?

Okay now for the good crazy stuff. I had my Revo rooted, got the update, failed. Figured it was because the root was on it, so unrooted to push OTA update, still fail...is still epic failing and is getting on my last nerve, so badly I'm ready to throw my phone...and I've never wanted to that to my babies (phones). Anyway, unrooted still failing update.

Was on another forum where very nice guy gave me stuff to do, tried it however, when did the "Flash" it only wiped my phone and put it back to stock. Had phone plugged into computer via USB...tried to follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1583023 but after phone wiped didn't know what to do. This is where I am now, with a wiped phone and this has been since 9am pdt.

Hope this all makes since. Can anyone offer any help here? I'd like to get my Revo back up and running and I'd really love to get my apps back on so I can function.

Thanks for understanding and your help is greatly appreciated. Oh, please talk to me like I'm a noob lol...Or I won't get it, I promise I will do my best and try not to sound as dumb as I feel right now.

Thanks &:)

*Edit* I forgot, I read somewhere that in order to use CWM the phone had to be rooted so I couldn't've flashed to it anyway? Is that wrong information?

The reason why your update fails is because you haven't taken off CWM I'd point you in the right direction but I'm doing this by phone

Thanks Gel, at your earliest convenience will you please walk me through it? I'd really appreciate it and would be a very happy camper if you get back functioning.

I wish I could explain how I did it. I thought I updates to V8 with no root and was really mad but then somehow I had root.

I'm currently at a computer until around 8:15 so I could assist you whenever you get back on.

Waiting patiently. :)
