Default [FIX][CWR ZIP] Stuck in Clockwork after performing factory reset?

Well, it seems that somehow some people are getting stuck in Clockwork after performing a factory reset...

I'm not sure what's causing it when triggered from within Clockwork, but I do know what's happening when triggered from within Android.

Either way, here's the fix.

Quote:
What is this?
A Clockwork flashable .zip file that will fix your "phone only boots to clockwork" problems.
Quote:
Instructions
Download this .zip to your SD card, boot to clockwork (ha!), and select "Install zip from SD card" and select this zip file.

Technical Information
The LG Revolution's bootloader is strange.
Partition 8 (mmcblk0p8) is the MISC partition on this device, and the first hundred bytes is the "bootloader command" block. This is where the bootloader communicates with Android or Recovery, to tell it to do things like "reboot-recovery" or "apply OTA". That's all standard stuff.

However, a few hundred bytes later is a strange flag- "FACT_RESET_6".
There seem to be a few different values that this is set to during different stages of the phone's operating and reset procedures.
"FACT_RESET_3" seems to be what Android sets when the phone requires a "Master Clear" (i.e. selecting "Clear device" from within Android)

Another flag I've seen references to is "LGE_TEST". No idea what that does, but I'm thinking it may be something like an engineering flag to allow access to fastboot and whatnot. I'm not going to be the first to set my flag to that until I understand completely what it does.

I really have to hit the sack, but if you meet me on irc (irc.freenode.net) in #lgrevolution within the next few minutes, I can fix it

Sounds like it may be an issue with recovery.
