Not sure if I should post this here.
Also "mmmark111" posted about RomTools for the optimus one. Can't emphasize how helpful and easy this tool is to use. Is for everyone, starting and advanced users.
Problems with recovery this should help. First I was stuck in the LG logo then on recovery. Im sure this will help with that and similar problems with more ease then going back to stock with the unbricking gides. I notice that xionias recovery would get me out of the boot loop and also out of the LG logo.
Quoting my self from androidcentral:
I had thunder but just an hour ago i manage to flash clockwork via ROMTools but same thing it reboots right to clockwork now
Edit: just flash xionia CWMA via romtools im ganna try to fix the loop. i read xionia can do it
Edit: i think i fixed it with out going back to stock and starting fresh. i did the following:
1. Download it ROMTools from http://androidforums.com/lg-optimus...3-1-ex-recoveryflasher-tons-new-features.html
2. Once i got ROMTools running i got Xionia's recovery here http://forum.androidcentral.com/lg-...covery-xionia-clockwork-cwma-v1-2518-5-a.html (just the xionia_cwma_12518.5.img not the flash.ing)
3. I followed the ROOMTools instructions on the FAQ section
FAQ
Can I use this with a different recovery?
-Yes. Any recovery can be used for the supported devices.
-To use an alternate recovery for the V or S, rename the new recovery to vrecovery.img and replace the 'vrecovery.img' included with the new one.
4. open ROOMTools and follow option "2. Flash recovery to phone" is simple just follow on screen instructions. at the end you should reboot in to xionias recovery
5. once on xionias recovery go to "Fix Recovery Loop" option under "Advanced", gets you out of an infinite recovery reboot loop. and wala. this just fixed mine
thanks to:
mmmark111 for ROOMTools
zefie for xionias recovery
CyanogenMod for Clockwork Recovery
and others that im sure im missing

i looked at the main how to root and clockwork one, so pl no links but a freindly noob guide, thanks
Easiest way is to download ROM Manager from the market if you already have root.
From ROM manager, hit 'flash clockwork recovery' and then all should be gravy.
Reboot into recovery via the power menu (if the option exists) or by the hardware buttons (hold the vol up/down buttons while powering on)
From there, if you boot into a recovery that's not CWM, then hit reinstall packages and reboot. You should get there.
Good luck
it says failed to verify whole file signature installation aborted

having a hell of a time with the same issue.... I have a Vibrant Galaxy S updated to froyo KA6 using kies. I've endlessly searched and read forum posts and i gather that the froyo has issues with not allowing clockworkmod recovery because of problems with signature check(?). Tried the 3eRecovery installer which is supposed to fix it, but the only difference is when I flash recovery from CWM and reboot to recovery and reinstall files, it no longer gives me an error message, but reboots back to stock recovery.
So far, this is what i've done:
Upgraded to 2.2 with keis mini
rooted with oneclickroot
downloaded rom manager in the market
flash clockworkmod recovery
reboot into recovery, reinstall files (gives error message)
used 3e_recovery_installer
(supposed to fix the issue, no longer get error, but still stock recovery)
Is it really this difficult or did i miss something somewhere? Thanks for any help...

follow that guide it will take u less then 10 min to go back to stock eclair with odin and flash it recovery from download mode and u will be rooted. its so easy that i do it before each rom as its very pain free and fast and it gives me a clean fresh install.
GOOD LUCK
Hi, I just brought my G Tablet and I have downloaded "ClockworkMod_Gtab_v08.zip" and copy the "update.zip and "recovery" into my internal SD Root dir.
I boot into recovery mood and ClockworkMod install but after reboot into recovery mood again, the screen freeze in "Booting recovery kernel image" and don't go into ClockworkMod screen (for more then 10 mins and have try rebooting it a few times).
The G Tab can still boot up normally in to TapnTap, everything seem working find and I can connect to my computer using USB cable. But just can't boot into recovery.
I wanted to install new rom, how do I make boot into ClockworkMod screen (recovery)?
Any help is welcome.
Thanks
Take a look at the recovery script and make sure it says sdcard vs sdcard- ext that's the only thing i can think of right now that May do that.

This is the symptom of installing the wrong cwm. You're on the 1.2 branch but you put the cwm for the 1.1 branch. You hosed your recovery. Go to my website and use code red in the "start here" page to recover.
Same thing I happened to me. I bought mine off Woot a few days back and it came with 1.2 bootloader (4349). No matter how many times I tried, I could never get back into recovery. Here are the steps I did to fix that:
1. You need to do nvflash to recover your stock recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861950) - I followed all steps in the "Installation" section.
2. After this, you should now have your stock recovery back. You're going to need to downgrade manually to 3588 - Just follow the "POST NVFlash" section on that same page.
3. Once you're done downgrading, should be able to install CWM without issue.
Problem solved!
Thanks goodintentions you save my G Tab, it works!
And now it can boot back into ClockworkMod recovery mode.
Your website is very good and informative. Good job.
Thanks again.
Thanks "goodintentions", You saved me as well
Followed your post and it worked.
Good information...thanks for the help!

Bro I connected my gtab to my computer in apx mode and my computer couldn't see it. Went to device manager and apx device was absent. Needless to say connecting my gtab to the computer was as far as I could get. If it helps any, I'm currently running bottle of smoke. Where I screwed my tab up is when I opened up time manager and it had an ota update for the recovery I was using.... Shoulda known better than to select advent vega for the device when it was running on the 1.2 branch recovery. Any tips? I wanna change my time but I need my recovery up n running.

Since i'm restricted to post in the development section i will post my thread here.
( ROM Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324408 )
So i followed the instructions,
First i installed the samsung stock rom
Then i installed the clockworkmod via Odin,
I placed the mod (Full_Package.zip) on my SDCard.
Then i boot into recovery, do a wipe, and then install zip from SDCard (Since i can't find any "flash" option)
Then i reboot my phone. Everything works. i get the "touch the droid to continue" option, After i completed the installation i get the standart Galaxy S 2 look, with no cyanogen option or anything.
What step did i take wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Regards.
post the link to the rom so we can take a look at it and tell you what is wrong.
Added in my 1st post.
you missed the last step.
-After first boot, the phone rimaning on the first screen, don't worry, remove the battery, put the battery, go to recovery and reflash the rom!! happen only in the first flash...
-This is the only procedure to flash correctly CyanogenMod and rom based on CyanogenMod
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it will then install the missing apps.
try reflashing the rom again as instructed.
I keep reflashing, and still nothing happens..
I retook every step again. Placed clockwork mod on the phone using Odin,
Went in to recovery mode, Installed Full_Package.zip.
Booted up my phone.
Nothing, just Stock rom,
And when i look in my system info it does show me that it's the Cyanogen Kernel.
I'm having problems booting into Recovery. I used the method here: All In One Root Recovery Installer to root and get a custom recovery on my phone. After installing CWM that was included with the package, my phone rebooted into Recovery once. I was able to wipe Cache/Dalvik. Phone has been running great with no issues except when I try to boot into Recovery it goes straight the the Android OS/Home Screen. The blue letters show up on the top left of the screen like it's going to boot into recovery but it doesn't.
I was thinking about doing two things:
1. Running the tool again and installing CWM again.
2. Downloading ROM Manager and have that install CWM.
Can I do these things without messing anything up?
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, I'm pretty new to rooting and whathaveyou, and followed a guide to installing Siyah-s2-v6.0b5, and everything was working fine, until I came across Cyanogen, which I'd saw a while back and looked quite interesting. I tried to install Cyanogen once the phone was rooting, but the installer on my PC said that my device was unavailable for the installation, for which I appointed to the fact that it was rooted.
I downloaded the Cyanogen install zip for my SGS2, and in the recovery menu used "install zip from sdcard" from which I selected the Cyanogen zip. The installation failed, and any attempt at starting the phone would lead me to the CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.2.-Siyah, and no further. I'm able to access the download mode.
I attempted using Odin3 v3.07 to install a stock kernel onto the phone, but I was left with the boot, maybe I was doing it wrong?
I'd really appreciate some help, thanks.
