In my brothers phone i tried to flash the recovery img with yaffs expert apk the same result.but then i updated the phone through kdz updater but the rom is 2.1with fastboot rom.in fastboot rom yaffs expert apk works perfectly.
I think it cant flash the original lg rom.if u want to install clockwork recovery pls first install 2.1 rom with fastboot.

Yeah, paste recovery.img to /sdcard and write in Terminal Emulator:
su //enter
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img //enter

What happened to my arc S?

Hello fellow xda forumers, i have a problem with my arc s. it starts like this, a few hours ago i unlocked my bootloader. Then after i unlocked it, i tried to flash a kernel to my arc using fastboot but i assumed it was failed since it took forever with *waiting for device* message . The problem is, after i did all those things, now i realised that my phone can't connect/install MTP driver when i plug in via usb and worst is, my home button is not functioning ! Could someone please help me fix this problem? i just got my arc S a few days ago, i'm so loss now

Reflash it with FlashTool to fix it.

Have you checked USB debugging?
For drivers, try these.
And post in the correct section.

You can flash the kernel inside the package using fastboot and the ROM using CWM.

If you want to install CM7, which you have downloaded, you have to push kernel in your device by using the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" inside fastboot folder.
Then boot into CWM and install *.zip file from sdcard.

Before flashing ROMs etc better get it working before and flash stock fw with FlashTool.
Also, there's a chance to kill the device when flashing custom stuff, so better do some research before starting without (much) knowledge.

How to get back to stock kernel via adb? Wanna try Franco.

I am stock and rooted and I don't want to flash a custom recovery. I'm cool with using adb if someone tells me the steps.
Can anyone give me the steps via adb to install Franco and come back to stock if I need it?

You need fastboot. Not adb.
fastboot flash boot boot-r32.img

Why don't you want to flash a custom recovery? That makes no sense.

Any custom recovery will get overwritten upon reboot unless you patch the file. There are no risks to using a custom recovery to flash stuff. However, El gave you the correct fastboot command if you plan on going that route.

Alternatively, you can try fastboot boot boot.img [insert filename]

Check out number one. That should fix you up :thumbup:

Thanks.
I'll use the fastboot command. I keep getting adb and fastboot mixed up.
So I know how to flash franco's kernel if I want to. What about going back to stock?
I remember reading it's not as easy as simply finding the stock kernel and fastboot flashing that, because Franco's kernel also changes some other things. Is it?

It's easiest just to use a custom recovery do a nandroid backup flash the kernel then if you want to go back to stock just restore the nandroid
I know you don't want to use a custom recovery but this is the easiest way.

Go to faux's kernel thread and download the kernel reset zip. That way you can go back to Franco's kernel without the need for your computer.

There's a modified boot.img? I don't think so... To root, all you need is a custom recovery. I also wouldn't use the toolkit. At this step, it's just as easy to do it manually. Just type in with your device in fastboot and connected to a PC: "fastboot flash recovery name of recovery.img"

Just try them yourself and see. I personally like Trinity Four (latest releases have dark PA colors. To get nice/normal colors flash TF92G) and FrankenKernel.
