Ok, here's the deal. This utility can accomplish many things for you, it can root, install a custom recovery, a stock recovery, or change the boot mode of your phone. It also does so with little-to-no interaction, which is why I made it, so that noobs could have their phone rooted and have a recovery. Also, so that when I revert to stock, I can be lazy and have this do it for me. Anyways, I was digressing. All of the source is posted on the website, along with links too the builds. You can find that all in the third post. So, to sum this post up, it can do root, custom recovery, stock recovery, adb shell, boot modes, and lastly ADB Terminal (Prompt) Thanks for using this.

Also, I shortened, and explained more of the code in the .bat. Yeah, that's really all.... [V5.5- 19:17 *10/5/2012] Fixed all-in-one package. (Root + Recovery). Improved startup screen, improved Setup code. Improved Root and Recovery interface to make it look less 'Clumped'. [V4.5- 20:16 10/1/2012] Been coding for 5 hours straight... What i achieved was a fixed root, and the recovery actually installs! Oh goody! I can verify these work, and also I added the LG adb driver as part of "setup". [V4.0- 12:23 10/1/2012] RECOVERY WORKS! I finally got myself a USB cord and it worked! In other news, I fixed some bugs, and some leftover "Cd %userprofile%/adb " references which had most likely cause root not to work for people who had used 3.0. [V3.5- 12:02 9/24/2012] Root was tidyed up, added boot modes. Recovery code is nearing final (It's 'rem'ed so go into the bat and unrem it to use it.) Also, Simplified main code. (StandAlone) [V3.0- 14:13 9/20/2012] Root Works for sure. Recovery is BETA, and that's all there is too it. [13:10 9/20/2012] Root works, I unrooted with Superuser temp unroot, and then used RATC exploit, now is telling me its rooted . Recovery, is making HUGE progress, expect a beta of this to be released today. [01:27 9/20/2012] Recovery installs; requires a little User Interaction. (Pushs file twice, then flashes it) Root is working, with RATC, but untill i get an unrooted stock, I can't test too see if it roots. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELEASED AS OF OCTOBER 23, 2012 - Ubuntu 12.04LTS/Linux Mint - [NOTE: This one currently is only able to do recovery, by using ADB over network.] [V2.5 11:10- 12/5/2012 - Still only recovery, fixed issues with it, fixed adb installer, fixed life.....
