[Q] ClockworkModRecovery (Only wants to wipe data) [SOLVED - Read / Scroll Down]

[Loopy Frog]

Ok, so i have a fresh new stock of 21e flashed onto my phone. Rooted with no errors, and I have Clockwork ROM Manager installed.

If I use the app to boot into recovery my phone just automatically Wipes all data then loads back up as if a fresh install was done, so I thought I would check the problem out myself (Power and vol.down), and the only options I have in the Clockwork Boot Menu are as follows:

Android system recovery <3e>

Confirm wipe of all user data?
THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE.

No
No
No
No
No
No
No
Yes -- delete all user data
No
No
No

If I go back one page the only options I have are as follows:

Android system recovery <3e>

Android system recovery utility

reboot system now
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe cache partition and package recovery
wipe nv dynamic partition

I can not go back any further, they are my only options in boot recovery of which I find extremely odd. (Until this is sorted I can not install a new ROM/Kernel and fix my network)

Any help would be much appreciated.

Kind Regards.

That's not ClockworkMod.
That's the stock Android recovery.

I am just about to see if I can do something with the LGDP2 V36 UMTS.

No Luck :-(

Did your guide word for word, all went successfully.

However.... I can use root applications on the device etc...
Though it appears I can no longer get the clockwork boot anymore?

You can also use the ROM Manager app to boot into recovery.

Nope doesn't work. >_<

You can also use the ROM Manager app to boot into recovery.

Yeah that's what I was using when it used to work, however now when I do it, It just "deletes all user data". Obviously because it is not having any response from the Clockwork recovery boot, and goes straight into:

Android system recovery <3e>

Confirm wipe of all user data?
THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE.

No
No
No
No
No
No
No
Yes -- delete all user data
No
No
No

I just don't understand why My boot wont change from android to the clockwork boot. >_<

Is it being flashed properly?

Try doing the flashing manually. Download the recovery image from www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager (choose touch for P920, nothing else), then open adb in cmd and type the following commands with phone plugged in:

adb push <image name>.img /data/local/tmp
adb shell su -c "dd if=/data/local/tmp/<image name>.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096"
adb shell "rm /data/local/tmp/<image name>.img"

Replace <image name> with the filename of the img. If everything checks out, you should be able to boot into CWM. If you get errors, post them here

(I took the commands from The Dark Lestat's batch file, props go to him. I was too lazy to search for it Don't judge me, it's 12.30am here)

Also, I'll update the scripts with a newer version, so that it's simplified.

Holy Sh*t .. .

dont use Rom Manager to boot into recovery.. there where so many bad reports about that app.. if you want to boot into recovery.. do this.. .

install Terminal Emulator..

type in ..
su (enter)
reboot recovery (enter)

your phone will boot into what recovery you have .. .

hope that helps!

It's not using ROM Manager to BOOT into recovery.
It's using ROM Manager to install ClockworkMod that was the issue.

Very weird indeed. I also have flashed yhe 21E rom from LG. Next I rooted the phone and installed CWM touch. I have no problems with it.

Thanks, either/or this doesn't matter at this stage, I need to able to boot into recover for this or even clockwork to do it anyway. I'll keep this in mind nonetheless.

All went well, expect for the last string, see below;
I renamed "recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-p920" - "x"

C:\Users\Astro\ADB>adb push x.img /data/local/tmp

I'm about to upload a newer version of it. Let me know if it works.

Alright.
Here's the new Recovery Manager with updated scripts. It should be a lot cleaner now.

I think it's because my scripts were thrown together in the previous one.
Anyways, it's cleaned up.


Glad it worked!
