You do not need to remove the battery from the phone and plug it to the Computer while Holding Vol-Up Button!!! Mobile Updater will bring the phone in "S/W Upgrade..." status even without those tricks!
doesn't work for me
it show message
D:\TMP\LG\ROM\Clockworkmod v3.2.0.0\CWM_Install\CWM_Install>adb.exe wait-for-device
* daemon not running. starting it now *

is your device rooted? error messege is normal
it must look like this: http://android.modaco.com/topic/341...us-blackp970/page__view__findpost__p__1742985
then it´s done.
type: reboot recovery

I did with above way, just ignored the error message, then use andreboot to boot in to recovery, done!

I did the LG recovery and after that the sceen did not responed at all
LG tolled me return the phone - but then it would not be good if it was rooted

sorry but I can't get this sentence... what does this mean ? Need to root before flashing or flashing does it itself ?
I think he means when you click the .bat file, superuser will pop up on your phone, asking you if you'll let it gain root permission. Just press yes/agree/ok.
Noob question (just for precaution), i wanna flash my stock to Nova v1 and gingerbread theme+ex. kernel after that with CWM 3.2. what should i do first (recovery installed)? flash Nova with CWM Rom Manager app or manually flash it with recovery menu?
thx!
ehmm... which button is used as "ENTER" button in CWM recovery? i pressed menu, home, back and search touch button and it always falls back to CWM logo or top menu.
EDIT: nevermind, problem solved

12Here it is, Clockworkmod for the LG Optimus Black
The following has been tested and is working:
- Backup & Restore
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache
- Reboot & Poweroff
- install zip from SD-Card
- Partition SD-Card
Notes:
- Use at your own risk! I´ll take no responsibility for any Bricks etc.
- Apperently the Optimus Black doesn´t have a Keycombination for going to Recoverymode on Booting. So at the moment CWM can only be accessed by rebooting the Phone to Recoverymode via App or Shell from a running System.
Downloads:
Clockworkmod v3.2.0.0 >>DOWNLOAD<<
LG United Mobile Drivers (Windows) >>DOWNLOAD<< (Needed when installing with MS Windows)
