Hello people!
Is there any way to install a custom recovery on a magic that is locked in the splash screen ? I mean, using the original android recovery , or by booting into fastboot or something like that?
I searched the forum but only found ways to do it using software within the operating system, which can not access...
Because i have a perfect spl and i need to change it.
Thanks a lot, best regards!

Hi guys
Im new on the LG540 (had a HTC HERO before)
And I find the steps for installing recovery very hard to understand :-/
I rootet the phone before, and its confirmed that its rooted..
But I dont understand how to install the recovery even though I'm following the guide from the reference thread...
I have downloaded everything from the thread post 1.
I power off
Then holds Camara+power
But my phone keeps booting up as normally
whats wrong ?

First of all you need to have fastboot enabled on your phone. This is a special boot mode that is disabled by LG. To get it you have to flash your phone with a fastboot-enabled rom. After that, camera+power will put your phone into fastboot and you will be able to flash recovery.
If you're somewhere in Europe, here's the current Europe Open ROM with fastboot:

Okay thanks
And now the next stupid question :-/
On my HERO I flashed new ROMs using recovery
How do I flash a ROM on my LG ?
you can flash custom roms via fastboot or if the developer has made a recovery backup you can flash with that
After alot of googling, I found KDZ_FW_UPD
it got it to work
I'm trying to restore my htc tattoo to original state (for warranty return), currently its running Cyanogenmod with clockwork recovery. I restored original Android 1.6 from backup I made, but I'm having trouble finding information how to restore original recovery. I suppose the procedure is similar as to installing clockwork (I'm currently using clockwork) but with original recovery image instead of clockwork. I'm not sure where can I find original HTC Tattoo Recovery image?

Ok sorry for posting in wrong forum. I Flashed the supplied recovery image but now the only thing I get when trying to boot into recovery is the warning sign with yellow exclamation point and the phone lying next to it. Are all original recovery images the same? Maybe they vary like ROMs do.
Edit:
After some googling around it turns out that exclamation mark is actually the original recovery, sorry for false alarm and thanks. I'm still worried a bit about versions of recovery, can someone figureout that is not the recovery rom that was shipped with my HTC Tattoo? Thank you.

Hello. After updating my A500 to the official ICS rom, I easily rooted my tablet succesfully by downloading a program found on this website:
http://forum.tegraowners.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=350
Then, I downloaded an app from the market/play store called "Acer Recovery" wich lets you flash CWM recovery (which is built in into the app). The app said it flashed the recovery succesfully. Now, when I press the "boot into recovery" button I get stuck in the Acer logo and on the top left corner it sais in red: Recovery Failed
I would like to flash custom roms. What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks...

Which version of Bootloader are you running? The recovery installer app should tell you when you start it.
Also, which version of Recovery did you try to install?

Thanks for helping me out.
-Bootloader Version: 0.03.12-ICS
I tried installing the two only recoveries avaliable wich are:
-ClockworkMod Recovery rev1.3.4 by thor2002ro
-Stock USA 1.141.07_COM_GEN1 recovery
After flashing any of the two I click on "Reboot into recovery", it reboots but gets stuck in Acer logo and on the top left corner says:
-Recovery verified failed
I have the same problem too and I still couldn't find a way out
Firmware Specs are same as yours
I wonder if there is a simple way out
Anyone can help ?
Thanks

Ok, both of you need to go to this thread and read over the info.
The reason why your recovery "might have failed" is probably because you didn't delete a certain file from your rom before you flashed your CWM. That is... "recovery.from.boot.p" in the system folder.
If you don't, every time you reboot your will lose your CWM.
Anyhow, read this thread. Everything you need is there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622425
And if you;re going to install some ICS Customs in the future, I advise you install a patched unlocked bootloader.
EDIT: One more important thing. Before you folks go off flashing and everything, PLEASE... Get your UID number now, and write it down in a safe place (like the box your tablet came in . If you tab gets borked up, it's the only thing that'll save it.

As MD stated be sure to read that thread , once down reading it, re-read it , I would try using that method first ,it helps you learn , but if you want to go to this thread and it will be a whole lot easier :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675939
I always tell people in here read as much as you can , read through the Android section as well!
uahuuuuuuuuuuu !
What can I say ......Afterota is AMAZING!!!!
Made my day, not my day...my month!
It works like a charm and it's really easy to handle
Thanks thanks thanks !
Ramp
Thanks, I did it as well with AfterOta, what a great tool. I am already rooted in ICS and have public recovery working. I'd like to try some custom roms. Is there any other step I have to complete before flashing a new custom rom?
Thanks again for the help

I would advise making sure you have at least Version 3 or higher of the unlocked bootloader. Version 4 is better as you can change the boot image. Also, with version 4 (and higher) you can flash any future bootloaders through CWM.
Also, make a system (nand) recovery backup before you go flashing roms. This way you have something to go back to if the flash doesn't go right.
part of the original problem you had was the recovery you tried to flash was an earlier version which doesnt match ICS , You can get the beta copy of Acer Recovery ,but you'll have to search for it , it also has updated ICS recovery listed
Hi guys, ive been trying all day to flash the CWR custom recovery but when i boot into recovery mode it shows me the stock android recovery, i cant get to the custom recovery.

To do that you need root, because if you don't change those files the stock recovery will be back every time.

I had installed cm 13 and tried installing a new kernel but i guess since i was on a old version it didn't work out. So i proceeded with putting the old kernel back *sandy kernel* however now when the phone opens up i put my pass code it shows the background for a split second with a system ui crashed error and back to lock screen. hence i tried installing a recovery again (twrp hybrid) since the latest roms use that and I wanted a new rom anyway. But i thought id back my stuff up but alas the system ui error doesn't allow me to do so. Finally i ended up by using fastboot to flash the new recovery but even after it said OK ! my phone won't boot into recovery.
So now i am stuck with a OP2 that boots into cm13 but cant get past the lockscreen, a recovery that won't load and a fastboot mode that is the only working thing.
God I really shouldve backed it up i know. But is there a way I can resolve this without losing my data?
I have an exam and the notes are in them.
Help is appreciated !

As I said. the method i showed you is most certainly the solution. But you need a Computer and yes, 1gb is propably too much for mobile data
Maybe, just maybe if you flash OOS-Firmware it might help. But i dont know for sure.
So i finally managed to get into twrp 2.8.7 (lollipop)by this http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=16684
thanks a lot for all your hard work guys ! (cant boot into os still but twrp will help atleast)
