Well, hallo there!
It's been a while since I've posted a release thread on XDA... I've been lurking in the shadows (and on IRC) for quite some time.
Here, I present to you a teaser of things to come:
ClockworkMod Recovery (non-touch) 6.0.1.5 for the AT&T Optimus G.
What is this?
This is a "recovery" for your phone, it allows you to install custom ROMs, back up your phone, fix it when it breaks, and much more.
This specific version is "ClockworkMod", which was created by the CyanogenMod team and Koush.
There are many recovery versions out there, I have picked ClockworkMod because it is very easy to compile and debug.
I will compile other recoveries as time permits.

Where can I get it?
UPDATE: I am now providing download links.
Please go here to download it: http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lgoptimusg/att/recoveries/
Note: this is a "tethered" build of CWM, as you can not flash it. You must use fastboot to boot the image every time you wish to enter recovery.
This is due to the locked bootloader on this device.
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!
This is *not* safe, and should *not* be done by anyone unsure of what they are doing.
I will post links once I have ironed out bugs, but I WILL NOT SUPPORT anyone using it to modify their phone.
Please don't use this if you don't know how to LGNPST your phone back from the dead, should you accidentally kill it.
(Also, I will find somewhere to mirror LGNPST and the related files, as I can't host them from my server due to legal reasons. I will, however, mirror the .TOT file in case LG decides to take it down.)

The goods!
Here's a (semi-arty) pic of it running on my Optimus G:
And, here's a video for extra proof
Luckily the video quality isn't potato, but the audio sure is. My explanation is that my HTC Vivid doesn't like me. An engineer's explanation would be that I was speaking softly, as it was 1:30AM at the time of recording, and the phone merely decided that my meek volume was purely background noise... at least, I think that's what an engineer would say, as I haven't graduated yet.

SPECIAL THANKS!
Here's my favorite section of an XDA post: the "special thanks to" section.
Without the help of these awesome people, I would have nothing of interest to say, and would just be a random guy with a phone.
Seriously, these guys are awesome.
Here's the list (in no special order, and by IRC name):
Shelnutt2
sextape
xboxfanj
jonasl
kmdm
synergy
DeamonFish
chachin
..and Zanzibar (because why not?!)
If I've forgotten anyone, please let me know-- I want to make sure everyone who had a hand in this gets a shout-out.
Please, support these awesome people if you get a chance, or drop by the IRC channel and say hi

How can I contact you?
Need to get a hold of me, or anybody else? Come on IRC -- just go to http://webchat.freenode.net and use #lg-optimus-g as the channel name. Pick a nice nickname and say Hi
I'm IOMonster on IRC, and if I'm around, just say my name and I'll probably say hi back.

Alright everyone, hope you enjoy
Wow that does look pretty nice.
Looking forward to the fruits of your continued endeavor regarding this device, sir. Well done.
Very nice, cubed. That's some good, and fast, work.
Awesome work! Can't wait to see more progress on this. I'm assuming a Sprint version will be available eventually.

I think this thread is for AT&T version, here's International.
Although placeholder threads are generally not allowed in the Dev section, we will allow this one, as the OP has stated he will provide the link if asked. (He does not want people to brick their device.)
Woot, so I patched CWM with a little homegrown patch to enable you to mount the external SD card.
This is necessary since CWM disables USB mounting by default on devices with an internal storage card that is shared with the /data partition.
Here's the status update:
What works:
Backups to Internal and External SD card
Restore from Internal or External SD card
ADB Shell Access
Battery charging (it's part of the kernel, I merely verified it's working)
Volume Keys / Power Key
Zip install from internal/external SD
USB Mounting
(in theory) Wipe Data ***see note***
What doesn't works:
Softkeys
Party mode
***Note: I have NOT tested "Wipe Data" or "Format /data". I do not suggest you try either for the moment.
This is because the internal SD card resides in /data/media. Erasing /data has a chance of erasing your internal SD. There are checks in CWM for this, but until I investigate, let's just be safe. If you need to erase your phone, let the stock recovery do that.
I am still working on some instructions for a safe way to get into CWM without the potential of getting stuck in some unknown mode. I will write up the instructions tomorrow and post links to the recovery.
Thanks everyone for your kind words on IRC as well, I appreciate all your moral support!
Thats a great start.. i do hope it is possible for the Japanese (L-01E) Version.... though the Japanese version already has microSD card support up to 64GB via SDXC
Wow, this is awesome! Keep up the great work!
thanks for all the work, I look forward to this device as I am getting it today, I do have some background in Linux and could possibly be building a ROM soon.
I love you right now. So stoked.

Warning: whether you preform these steps correctly or incorrectly, you may be left with a device which cannot be recovered to a previous state. Because this process operates on the recovery partition it leaves you with little room to recover if flashed incorrectly, especially if your normal Android mode doesn't boot.
(although realistically you can just flash ESPRIMG.zip from HBOOT to recover, or fastboot)
So here it is ladies and gentlemen: Clockwork 3.0.0.5, based on a git version pulled/compiled on January 6th, 2011 from the CyanogenMod 7.x (CM7) repository. So what's new? Nothing that I can tell! Not sure why it deserves version 3.x, but I guess changing the text color and background is considered a 'major upgrade'.
This is provided in .img format - NOT an update.zip format. That means you'll have to flash it to your recovery partition using flash_image. Obviously that means you first need root AND S-OFF. No, I won't tell you how to root your phone or what S-OFF is.
Instructions:
Code:
$ su
# flash_image recovery recovery-cw3-test1.img
'flash_image' isn't included intentionally - if you're smart enough to know how to flash this properly and understand the risks, then you might be smart enough to know where to get 'flash_image'.
How'd I do it? Top Secret - I'd have to kill you if I told you.

Not from me, sorry. I don't see any point in supporting the legacy method, especially when this version of CW doesn't give any readily-apparent advantages to the older one.
Nice find. I actually have S-OFF but when I start this recovery it is telling me error mounting system, data and others. Is this normal or is something wrong with my setup?

It IS a test build. I'm about to flash it now, I'll let you know if it's just you or not
And FLASH_IMAGE is indeed included, at least its built into cm6.
Edit: it isn't just you, the recovery is practically nonfunctional haha. There are errors all over when you boot into it, mount usb storage crashes it, and it can't mount anything, including the sd card, so its virtually pointless to flash at this point

I was at work when I uploaded the image and because of that I only briefly tested it. The errors at the beginning aren't critical, but I'll look into the overall functionality being broken, at some point tonight.
Hence this being a "TEST".

I appreciate that. I like beta testing new things. It does seem to have a few more functions. I just couldn't revert back.....

Actually.. i see a new option to partition SD card straight from the recovery menu... this is a very useful feature... and i think thats why it deserves that build jump from 2.5 to 3.0..... but at this point... it is in an UNUSABLE state.. i understand it is a test build... but i cannot test anything because it crashes on every single option you can possibly choose... will go back to 2.5 and wait for a stable, or at least more functional test build... hope to see some improvements soon... I do not doubt that you guys can have this thing up and running in no timee.. its a good starting point.. Keep the work going... looking forward to it...

S-off really is a must have. I attached the working build of 3.0.0.5, you have to either use flash_image with it, or fastboot flash, both of which require s-off.

i installed it internal. Right after installation and SetUp i did a Reboot. And now my Nook is shut down and i cannot turn it on again. Tried Power Button once and Hold and Power+N-Button.
HELP Please
Did you format your sd card within Cm7? That seems to trigger a bug that completely bricks the device. Just happened to me, it's been discussed over in the development forum. Sucks but if you're like myself and several others, it's basically a 250$ paperweight now.
Keep watching, I wouldn't be surprised to see a fix at some point.
And shortly thereafter ...
Don't give up yet, there's hope on the horizon.
I found something that may be of use to you in the development forum. Also as a side note to other people, do your best to stay away from the SD card install of CM7! It's apparently extremely risky right now and pretty likely to brick Nooks. Go for an internal installation if you can.

Got mine fixed thankfully. Definitely a scary hour or two there.
Mine was an internal install, and the brick was caused by trying to format the sd card through CM7, which apparently formats some other vital partition instead....they've taken down the links to download CM7 for now.
Yeah, they don't want anyone else to stumble across the install files and end up bricking their Nooks. I'm impressed at how fast they've been moving though, so I won't be surprised if they have a fixed version up within the next week, or even earlier. These dudes are incredibly industrious and they really seem to love hacking.
Haha, now I have it back up and running, back to the 1.4.1 + root zip mod that's floating around the dev forum....and it reboots every time i start downloading something, anything so far, from the market. *sigh.* gonna try fixing permissions, and then possibly wipe and re-apply the mod with cwm....

Well, if you're having the same problem that many of us others are having, follow the link in Mike_Ironfist's post a few posts back from here. If you follow that link, it will walk you through creating a CWM SD card that you should be able to boot with, and then further fixes follow in that linked post.
Other than that, I'm not sure. It worked for me and got me unbricked but now I'm stumbling with other problems sadly.

You're better off waiting. They discovered a bug that causes the device to be bricked if you format the SD card. There's a fix for said brick, but it's still something that shouldn't be out in the wild.

So far yes but truth is that eather with warnings or not people(noobs) could still do it lol so... to put an example i have read of 2 guys who wiped all the partitions off course they bricked their device (Judge for yourself).
So let devs work, test more and fix bugs, anyway there are some other bugs too and it other features aren't supported yet like Bluetooth, microphone, etc. I personally stay away of alphas but this time i tested support of apps and few other things but nothing major because i know there can be risks.

The bug is on both versions, and occurs if you try to format/erase the SD Card through the CM7 storage menu. So theoretically as long as you don't do that, you're fine, but I understand the hesitance to share a file that could potentially brick someone's device.
I was using the internal version, and experienced the SD format brick.
After recovering, I've continued to use CM7, primarily because when I tried to go back to the 1.4.1 + root image that's floating around here, I couldn't install market apps anymore. Tablet would reboot every single time I've tried. So I went back to CM7, just reminding myself to never, ever, ever erase the SDcard through the mod.
If you are not careful
I have been very cautious and lucky so far. I Rooted my Nook Tab back in late November by following ADB instructions and then applied many different tweaks including build.prop etc. All directions in these forums must be followed explicitly and you MUST have some working knowledge of ADB and a general understanding of how computers work. I have read every post in this forum and spent many hours researching how the devs were trying to circumvent the bootloader using various exploits. I did try to inject the Chainfire 3D wrapper as to be able to play Tegra Games and got caught in a boot loop and had to factory restore. Over all, I have been very careful. I have read in the forum that others have tried to apply CM7 update by trying to flash the cm7.ZIP file. It is very lucky for these people that in Clock Work Mod (CMW) this mode does not format the internal memory, it just writes to the System/app folder or to the folder that is specified inside the zip file. It is easy to get excited around buzz words like CM7 and CM9. But it is important to net let it go to your head and research thouroughly before hack-a-lackin your tablet. I am very grateful that the Devs rethought the CWM flasher and added the hash checksum so that someone with a bad connection didn't flash a partially downloaded file. I have CM7 on my Nook. Luckily, I didnt try to format an SD card with the Nook, I used an external card reader. The most important thing is, the Devs and the End Users are all going down unfamiliar territory. Research is the WORD. Happy Hacking!!!

While twrp 2.x has been out on a large number of devices, since our team never had a N1 it's been absent from our list. Now we are happy to serve up a version to the last Nexus device on our list.
Team Win Recovery Project 2.2, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.
Phone look:
Tablet look:
v2.2.1 - various bugfixes and HTC Dumlock support now built in for latest hboots that don't support flashing to /boot.
CHANGELOG (for 2.2.0):
- On-screen keyboard in recovery! -- supports long press, backspace repeat, and swipe left deletes everything left of the cursor
- Name new backups and rename existing backups
- Rename files and folders in the file manager
- Pseudo-terminal emulator
- Support decrypting an encrypted data partition on Galaxy Nexus (enter password using keyboard)
- Backup archive splitting -- allows backup and restore of data partitions larger than 2GB
- Simplified XML layout support between resolutions
- Added dual storage selection radio buttons to zip install, backup, and restore pages
- Improved zip install compatibility
- Updated update-binary source code
- Numerous small bug fixes and improvements
DOWNLOAD:
The fastest and easiest way to install TWRP is to use the GooManager app
For downloads and instructions please visit our TWRP website and choose your device in the dropdown menu
BUGS:
If you have found a bug, please consider posting it to our github issues log. It's pretty much impossible for us to keep up with the more than 30 threads that we have for the devices that we "directly" support. If you have a significant problem that cannot be answered in this thread, your best bet is to PM me directly, contact us via our website, or find us in our IRC channel below. If you see someone that's struggling, feel free to point it out to us. We need your help to help us keep track of all of our devices! Thanks!
SUPPORT:
Live support is available via #twrp on Freenode with your IRC client or just click this link.
Taking this one too for device specific faqs.....
I compiled this build with the Twrp source against the CM7 source tree.
Very Nice - !!!

Glad you like it. I know it's a little late to the party, but I figured better late than never.
I must say I was pretty sceptical this could be better than 4ext, but I am pleasantly surprised how much I like it. It is my new favorite recovery for now.....till I need to reformat my SD ext....4ext just does that better. To not have to wipe the fat partition is invaluable to me...but maybe that will be a possibility one day too. I really prefer every other aspect of this over 4ext though...very well done!

Thanks! It's been in dev for little over a year now on different devices. As for sd-ext, we'd be happy to merge a pull request with a better method, but given that most newer devices have large amounts of internal storage it's not likely we'll get to it anytime soon.
But twrp is 100% open source and we are more than happy to get people started compiling!
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Im no developer and dont know what a pull request is, but the difference I am speaking of lies in 4EXT's ability to re-partition the SD card either completely (which this also does) or only the ext partition and leaves the FAT partition untouched (which this does not do). What that would entail is way beyond anything I could hope to know or figure out, but Im certain it can be done. Again, thanks for your hard work on this and for bringing it to us!

Im no developer and dont know what a pull request is, but the difference I am speaking of lies in 4EXT's ability to re-partition the SD card either completely (which this also does) or only the ext partition and leaves the FAT partition untouched (which this does not do).

Oh I see what you mean. Not to re partition ot, but just format/wipe just the ext.

Sorry I was not clear, with 4EXT you can re-partition JUST the ext partition without completely wiping the whole card. So you can actually change partition size, type, etc....without reformatting the who SD card.

Haven't tried, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

That's interesting as most methods of repartitioning a disk cause the entire disk to be wiped. I know there are some ways around it though, but we haven't looked at them I don't think.

4EXT is the only one Ive heard of....is very nice too.
So, basically, it is just adjusting the content of the partition table to make it smaller (or use any other "free" space after the FAT partition, and then to format the new partition.
Reminds me of all the old DOS based (i.e. ranish?) partition manager tools...basically a lot of low level manipulation of the data in the partition table.
I love TWRP!
Having an issue installing it on my N1, though - goomanager seems to stall at "Installing recovery image." So I need to do it manually I guess.
I'm assuming I should be able to fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.1.4-passion.img - right?

And, to answer my own question, that's exactly what I needed to do.

Glad you figured it out. The issue has been that goo.im had a mishap when updating their hardware. So a lot of data was lost. Our other download on teamw.in should point to a backup source at techerrata files.
I've been using 4ext for a long time but I recently discovered twrp (installed it on my Kindle and love it). One question before I put it on my N1: Are my nandroid backups from 4ext forward-compatible with twrp? E.g. Will twrp be able to restore old backups?
Thanks for all your work!
Not everyone likes TWRP, and options are always good. So, I ported CWM to the VZW Note 2. Now that it was ported, Koush built us official images as well, so now we can get CWM Touch. Flash the new images via ROM Manager, download them yourself from the ClockworkMod site, or I've packaged the current builds (v6.0.3.4) in flashable zips for your convenience.
Download
Standard CWM
Touch CWM
UNOFFICIAL Touch CWM w/exFAT support
Known Issues
External SD Card doesn't work if it is exFAT, FAT32 should be unaffected
Thanks
Koush for building the official images for us
Useful Things
Enable only one "No" when going to flash a zip
Code:
adb shell touch /sdcard/clockworkmod/.one_confirm
Hide files being backed up during nandroid (speeds it up a little)
Code:
adb shell touch /sdcard/clockworkmod/.hidenandroidprogress
Perform incremental backups rather than full backups every time (faster on subsequent backups)
Code:
adb shell "echo dup > /sdcard/clockworkmod/.default_backup_format"
YES! Thank you! I hate TWeRPs
thank you!! im not a fan of TWRP, but im not *****in either lol...however ill hold off till backing up to ext sd works!!

While I'll deal with TWRP, I prefer CWM. Will wait for ext SD backups. Were almost out of the woods.

Pick which ever you'd like and enjoy I'll also work on getting it moved to an official version then as well. If people would like to continue seeing stuff from me, I will need to actually get a Note 2 at some point, and you can help by clicking here.

Recovery Flash
Odin Flash

ADB isn't working in recovery, will work on fixing this then
External Backup not working
Thanks
Koush for CWM source code

Hopefully you get a Note II soon!
Awesome!!! Just contributed $10. Conf. No.: 3S6330049G141034S. Keep it up, dude.
Good afternoon. Thank you for providing the CWM option for recovery. I would like to request the possibility of added a DTG (Date/Time Group) for future development of this recovery. It will help community, identify when a newer verision of this recovery becomes availalble.
Again, that's for your support for this device and previous devices. What a great community we have here!!

When I update the thread again with a new build, I'll put the date in the topic title, as I do with all of my topics. Hopefully though, we can get an official build though soon, so this thread wouldn't be needed then.

Bye bye TWRP! Hello CWM Recovery!
Imnuts
As promised in my PM to you Confirmation number: 0FE219923K532503A $20.
Updated the Known Issue. I think the reason the external SD Card was reported as not working was due to it being exFAT. If anyone has an SD Card formatted as FAT32, it should work fine to read/write to the SDCard. I'll look in to fixing this then, but I don't know if it's possible from my brief searching.
Is it the case that you cannot use cwm without unlocking the bootloader? I am only rooted.
