[RELEASED!] ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.1.5 for Sprint Optimus G [tethered]

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 Sprint 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?
Please go here to download it: http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lgoptimusg/sprint/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.
This will not allow you to install a custom ROM just yet, and please don't ask for custom ROM dates yet. I'm working on it...
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.

The goods!
Special thanks to user Shelnutt2 for helping me test this on the Sprint variant.
Here's a pic of it running on his 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.

Has anyone gotten into fastboot via this method and tried fastboot oem unlock on the Sprint variant?

fastboot is the same as with the AT&T varient, aka oem unlock does nothing.

Great work
This is a great start. I can not thank you enough. Like someone mentioned in the petition thread, even if you are not planning to buy this device, please sign the petition for lg to unlock the phone. We need to get a culture of unlocked bootloaders going. Again thanks for the good work

Thanks for the share.. works great.

Does this mean the bootloader is unlock?
Hallowed Is The Sader

At this point no the bootloader is not unlocked though I wish it were I so want this phone but I'm going to wait for a few days and see if they make more progress

Any updates on how it's going? Looking forward to this! Thanks for your hard work!

Y'all know about the quiet before the storm?
It's coming.
Trust me.
If you were in IRC today, you know what I mean. If not, just wait a few days. We've got very exciting news. (Please, no PM's asking what/how/why just yet.)
Extra special thanks to IRC user g33k3r for stepping up and risking his device many times, Shelnutt2 for being awesome, and Vitaligent for an awesome new boardname.
Sprint Optimus G is codenamed the "geehrc", ATT's is the "geeb".
We're changing it.
Sprint is now the "jeebusc" and ATT is the "jeebus".
Expect some XDA silence for a few days while we build new kernels.

Has anyone provided the appropriate files for the LG U+ Korean variant (the device I am posting from)?

You guys are simply the best. Thank you so much for your hard work. I can't wait!

I would definitely be willing to provide the appropriate files for the LG U+ Korean variant. However I have never used IRC. If the OP would be willing to PM me instructions I would do my best to get the files to him.
EDIT: No rush, no pressure. I understand that the US domestic carriers are certainly priority in this endeavor, once OP has everything ironed out, perhaps then he may be interested/ willing to include international carriers/ variants.

Recovery Is posted under the download link. I attempted to reboot tethered into recovery you posted, but fastboot doesn't seem to want to detect my device. Lg drivers are installed and debugging is on, any thoughts?

So, here's a quick update:
We've got lots of work to do. We have a _very_ viable avenue for FULL AOSP compatibility.
Right now, us developers need to sit down and talk about some major changes to the phone-- and plan out a 'disaster recovery' scenario, since this is no longer a 'quick modification' of the system, but a full AOSP conversion.
Without saying too much, we have quite a bit of proof to support our theories, and a member of the development team is now running the first build of Android 4.2 on his/her Optimus G with very few issues.
It suffers from the same issues that the Nexus 4 does-- for instance, benchmarks are ~4500 as opposed to the 7500 that have been reported by members of the community.
At this point in time though, we will be working "behind closed doors" for a few days until we can come up with a workable solution to this, as the current method is very long and convoluted, and will cause confusion with the Sprint version.
Since I'm posting this same reply on both of my threads (sprint and ATT), I'll give the Sprint update here too...
We've run into some issues with the Sprint version, although it is possible that they'll be easily rectified here in the coming days. Suffice it to say though that we have made less progress with the Sprint variant than the ATT variant (oddly enough). However, I've got some ideas (*cough cough* GPT partition trickery) that should fix the issue.
As usual-- PLEASE do not message myself of any of the other developers asking for an ETA. I know y'all are anxious, but if you really need to know, just stop by IRC and listen for a few mins, you'll probably hear us chattering away about hex offsets and load addresses in between me and my coworker tending to b0rked RHEL installs and Juniper firewalls.
In regards to LGNPST, look for a writeup here soon... I know it's been a source of frustration to some of you on the IRC channel, however please don't expect that I have a full 4 hours to devote to teaching commandline basics for Windows.
Once again, much thanks goes out to Shelnutt2, g33k3r, ilkinasr92, and xboxfanj for all the hard work.
Expect updates on XDA as they come, as usual.
Peace!

You guys are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Full AOSP support!?!?!? Wow, i had to wait months on my last phone. I can't wait so excited!!

[Q] Best Custom Rom

Hello everyone,
I need some help with my phone. I have a Motorola RAZR MAXX (not HD). My carrier is Ntelos which is regional cell company in WV and Va. I have had this phone for about a year and a half. I am able to get a new phone in October. This one is starting to give me some fits so I think it is time to "tweak" it. I have put in a custom ROM before (Cyanogen - couple of years ago on older phone) so I am pretty sure I can handle it. I just need to know which one is best for my phone. I will put some of the phone specs below. Thanks

"Best ROM/Kernel" questions are not allowed (really tolerated) on this forum. If you're lucky someone will politely tell you to try them all & decide for yourself. Typical response trend toward being flamed. So, while you can, run for your phone's development forum & start researching ROMs.
Good luck.

I've been researching for some time. Friend has same phone on nTelos. I will dare to ask here for help. Flame me if that is what happens in this thread...
BTW, I really just want to know if it is possible to flash / root the thing. If I get on that path I shoudl be able to find a suitable ROM.
TIA.

You really found nothing in phone's development forum that answered your question?

It may be the answer is it can't be done on xt908 on nTelos. That is what I saw. So I asked here.

Hotspot option disappeared
After an update phone got on a loop on boot. I tot it with factory file, rooted, installed 2faced again. Everything is fine, but ever since the hotspot option is missing. How do I get it back?

I'm sorry about this. I just recently got a working computer again but haven't developed for the G2 in a long while. I have since moved onto the Galaxy S5

@Artifesto
Glad to see you have got a computer again. We are sorry to see you go. Though some of us know a year has gone by and so does most development for phones.
May those S5 users enjoy your work as much as we have.
Good luck in your future endeavors.
We will miss you.

i would continue the G2 work if my G2 didn't just turn off and never turn back on for me. So i kind of had to get a new phone, almost went to the Lumia Icon but I'm glad I stuck with Android

I would love to get into developing or such, but I need a better system. The one I have tried to do so with, keeps locking up. With minimal things running.

I could quote you what i put into mine but it would easily put you in the $2k range for a build, which is about to go up as i will likely SLI 2 GTX 980's

Yeah, I was trying to build with a dell optiplex 210l. Processor was released back in 2004. Lol

Does anyone know if there's a stable LP version of this ROM? The ROM is more important to me than the updated Android, but if I could have both that would be ideal.

[Q] sprint port to t mobile

Is that gonna be coming or is everyone gonna wait for t mobile?

The sprint variant of the LG G3 is a cdma device and therefor is very different from ours. The devs aren't going to attempt to port a rom that will end up broken and non functional when we have an official release on the way. If youd like to give it a shot there are a number of resources on xda that can teach you how to build roms and to port them from other devices.

I'm well aware of the resources here at xda, that wasn't my question your obviously not a dev so don't answer something you're not qualified to think you know. Ty

Why dont you just post requirements of person need to reply your post ?
This is community , over here we share ideas and give our opinion.
You seems new too because you posted question on general section. Mod please lock the thread or move.

He gave you a legit answer. Nobody is gonna waste time attempting a sprint port when we know ours can drop any day. If they were going to attempt a port they would grab the att one anyways, since it is also a gsm device. However all the various G3 versions are oddball enough on hardware to really make any reliable port. Just too much that would be broken to be worth it.
I personally don't care if you been around since XDA was a baby, your reply was pretty dickish for the info that was supplied to you.

[Q] Chances of AT&T root?

Hi all, sorry if this is an old question, but what are the chances of the G4 on AT&T being rooted eventually? I'm really interested in this phone and I may get it tonight, but I'd really like to know if there will be root availability in the future. Thanks so much for any responses! This looks like a great step up from my Galaxy S4!

dude, sit tight, wait - asking like a week after the phones been released is just ignorant

I wouldn't say it's ignorant at all. I'm just wondering if there's any hope at all compared to something like the Galaxy S6.

its pretty ignorant IMHO....definition of ignorant: "lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated" - - -asking a question like "the chances of the g4 being rooted" - do you want a percentage that is completely estimated or would you like me to call LG and AT&T and ask them what are the chances of it being rooted? you could research dev and try to root it yourself ....
i would say theres a 55% chance being that the intl version has been unlocked and rooted....
FYI, people still ask about the chances of Galaxy Note 4 being rooted, its been since September....you just have to sit tight and be patient or research dev and do it yourself

Again, I wanted to know if it was possible or if it's hopeless like the GS6. Sorry for trying to make an informed decision, I guess that makes some others salty.
Thank you for your answer, though. That's all I was looking for initially.

If you read around you would already have your answer

There's a root method for the AT&T S6, so why say it's hopeless? Duh.

Don't worry about salty people. They don't understand simple social etiquette. They think that the internet allows them to be callused and heartless.
I would base there answer on how popular the phone is and the demand for root from the community. If those two things are high, the chances are good there will be a root method available. Doesn't promise that the method will be simple or in a timely manner but anything is possible with XDA. Or like the previous posts, if you're adventurous, you can try to do it yourself.
