I had the same issue but following these instructions helped me, what finally helped me was typing a wrong command wich gave me a help menu with all the commands, the important one being "adb reboot [Recovery:Bootlaoder]"

adb reboot recovery did the trick, then wiped flashed broken out and sooo happy to be done with it.

after pushing CWM in command prompt of course

I'm also getting "remount failed: operation not permitted" when trying adb remount in the command prompt just as mrand1 apparently did.

I (perhaps noobishly) skipped that step and did adb push cwmrecovery.img /data/local/tmp/cwmrecovery.img but after trying the next step got cannot open for write: Permission denied.

I'm trying to get back to Broken Out 1.1 - when it first came out I successfully downgraded to zv7 by flashing the .tot and then doing the OTA update, but now when I try to do that I can't seem to get the OTA to start downloading. I flashed zv8 tot in order to test the latest root method (which works) I just can't get CWM on there now - I don't seem to have any recovery at all actually. Any help would be appreciated.

I did the same thing, flashed to zv8 tot, was able to root but was unable to flash cwm recovery. I tried manually doing it and running MT's AIO. It's telling me permission denied on all of the steps except the push cwmrecovery.img. It appears I do not have any recovery either. Trying to get to Broken Out! Any help is appreciated, thanks guys!

For what it's worth I also tried that with the same results.

I finally got this to work much more easily thanks to a quick talk with mtmichaelson. Here's the method:

1) Get to ZV8 (I got there via LGNPST)
2) Root using the tool found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1621625
3) Open a Terminal Emulator
4) Type: su
5) Hit enter
6) Type: echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop
7) Press enter
8) Reboot
9) Use the ZV8CWMRecovery.bat found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1583023

Good luck!

Man, that was too easy!

Thanks for posting this slimzim. This worked straight away for me, I'm installing Broken Out as I type! I'm actually a little glad this happened because now I'm a little more familiar with terminal emulator and what local.prop does. Never had to use it in the past. This is exactly the second phone I've ever rooted and am usually able to just use AIOs.

And of course, thanks to mtmichaelson for chatting with you about it and doing all the hard work in the first place!

So far not working...repeating process now...

If you've done all steps exactly it should work. I went through a ton of other "fixes" that didn't work, I believe the key here is when you use the terminal emulator directly on the phone to create local.prop. I was trying to create local.prop in every way but that, and until I did it directly on the phone did I have success.

Good luck!

local.prop missing

---

I used the Easy ZV8 All in One Rooting Tool, and have no sound at all like a couple of other users. One of the suggestions was to rename the local.prop file in the /data folder to local.prop.bak.

I assume this is the /data folder in the internal folder? When I did the steps for the all in one rooting tool (coming from rooted zv7), there is no local.prop file in my /data folder to rename, yet I still have no audio for ringtones, phone calls, etc. except for the boot up sound on the splash page.

Any ideas why my local.prop file isn't even there? I even tried copying the one from the mtmichelson zip file into there, still no avail. Thanks!

I have the same issue. I used the echo command in term emulator and the local.prop file was there. rebooted and the file is gone. I have root but cannot install cw recovery. I have tried AIO, adb, and terminal emulator but nothing makes it stick. Any help would be greatly appreciated
