Recovery problem... - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

when i go into recovery to flash or anything it just stands there and does nothing? i can flash through clockwork recovery app but not CWM... any ideas????

Are you using the trackball to make your selections? How far do you get in the process? Is it enabling you to move the selector at all?

are you rooted with s-off? That sounds like your problem.

ya... sorry i was unclear on my issue... yes i am rooted and s-off... is that the problem with not being able to use it? but i can get to clockwork select anything on the menu, press power and it comes up with the yellow CM gear and tophat.. lol nice graphic but sucks when you want to do a nandroid backup.... i guess i will have to search for a solution for it? unless you already know how? hehe

[Q] Problem with flashing DL30 (FroYo)

OK, I'm kinda new at this flashing stuff but here is my issue. I tried to flash DL30 using the instructions on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937499 Everything was fine until after step 2. When I selected "choose zip from SD Card" I couldn't find my DL30.zip =O. Anyone know how I can fix this?
When in doubt, download again. Our if you can, hook it up to your comp and do a file search. Typically it saves in downloads. Make sure its saved as a zip as well.
Also when looking for it in cwm scroll all the way to the bottom.

Wait, so its safe to select "reboot system now" after i wiped and factory reseted it? I've been staring at my CWM Menu for an hour now afraid to do anything with it until im surely sure what im doing.

Basically...i flashed dl30 over dj05 and once that was done while still in recovery I flashed new_cmw.zip. Then I reboot. Hope that helps...

Yeah I didn't do anything after step 2 in that guide, I just want to make sure I can reboot even though I did a wipe.
Yeah...should be able to. Most say to wipe and clear delvach cache twice

If i wiped everything doesn't that mean theres no rom there to boot into?
It wipes data and junk. Wipe it then flash dl30. And make sure if you had voodoo...you dusabled it.

Yeah I disabled it. Rebooting now, lets hope your advice works =X
Apparently it was right where i put it...but I'm still unable to locate it in CWM
Should be fine...so long as you disabled voodoo, flashed dl30 and new_cwm. I'll be waiting to hear how it goes before I head to bed...

I may be wrong but you need it in for the update zip to get to cwm.

Are you clicking the trackpad to make the selection? I ask because some people have tried using other buttons to select and then thought their phone was bricked.

Great minds think alike. Hopefully that was his only problem. I have to say though, there's something pretty funny about someone thinking their phone is bricked because they're using the wrong button to make selections in recovery! I'm not making fun of anyone, but it does make my chuckle a little.

If the ROM still won't boot, I would wipe data, cache, and Dalvik-Cache, and then flash the ROM again (assuming the zip is still on your SD).

Wipe each item once. I think the new recoveries wipe everything when you select 'data', but do the other items just to be sure. Dalvik-Cache is under the Advanced section.
Thanks a lot. My phone working now!

Hi thanks a lot for your help. Your Track pad solution is golden. My phone is working now. Take care and keep helping people
Glad I could help.
Haha I feel for you OP I had this problem at first (came from an EVO didn't have a trackpad) so I was confused. Didn't take much before I realized it was the trackpad inside. My new problem is my trackpad broke lol. So now I can't select anything (in the OS or in the Recovery) somehow I got the power button to work one time while I was in recovery (little white writing even came up like it does when you flash a rom that said "power button select enabled") never got this to happen again though, any ideas?

v4.3.1.8 so yea. also i see you guys are running CM based Roms, I just downloaded one, i really like it, but the font and coloring (white on black) in the menus are just not for me. How would i go about changing it, i am using ADWlauncher. Ohh, also, how can I change the boot animation?

i have seen this on a fresh wipe. i had to download clockwork then exit the app then re-launch it then i could flash amon ra again with rom manager (option is at the bottom) then all was well.

Help Flashing Split View by Bigfau

I am wanting to install the LG G Flex Split View mod by Bigfau on my rooted LG G2 but I do not know how to "Flash in recovery and reboot."
Can anyone help me through this process? I was reading up on the flash guide here on the forum and saw that I needed a custom recovery installed before flashing. Is this really needed to just add the split view feature? If so, how can I go about doing this?
thx

yea, unfortunately, a custom recovery is needed to flash any mods or zips. It does not work with stock recovery. The only thing you can flash with stock recovery is a rom, but since you need gapps and so on for the rom to work properly, you need a custom recovery.
I find TWRP the easiest recovery to work with, here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449679
There is no need for custom recovery... Use the Flash Gordon app from play store. All you need is root and busybox. You can flash zips but not ROMS..

Hmmm, two different answers. Thanks for the quick replies though.
I don't think I need any roms, I am just trying to take the zip file mod in the link and get it working on my stock LG G2. I know it will work on the stock Verizon phone, but I have no idea how to do the flashing.
If I use an app from the play store, I read that it may, "lack the ability to wipe the Dalvik cache (affecting the JIT compiler)." Will this be a problem for me?

I'll go ahead and try it out later today. I am not against installing a custom recovery if it is useful later. But I don't plan on installing any custom roms ever. Is there any use for a custom recovery outside of custom roms that cannot be accomplished by Flash Gordon App?

The ability to backup your device (make a NANDROID, as it is called). If you have a rooted device and intend to mess with it, I would say that a nandroid backup is a must . The good thing about a nandroid, something which Titanium Backup can't is to restore the whole system and boot. On the other hand, you might find some apps missing, so it's best to back up apps though Titanium Backup and your system/boot etc through Custom Recovery.
Oh and by the way, please tell me how the split-view thingy works once you have done it

Did not work with busybox + flash gordon. Seems the .zip contains some system files which are not able to be edited through flash gordon. I'll try to install a custom rom then I guess.

To set split view whiich works wonders wen modding phones ? you have to set one of your nave bars to open it mine is set as the back button. Long press is why you just press the front nav bar in stead off tapping it. Correct me if im erong but i think you must also be running xposed installer with one of the g2 settings apps found in the playstore. I flashed split view using flashify and it works fine munis not being able to use the knock feature wen engaged.

I do not have xposed and holding down the back button launches the program for me.
The program works after installing it from recovery in TWRP, but after installation, I pressed wipe cache and it was in the process when my phone screen turned off. I couldn't get it to turn back on, and eventually just held down the power button for 10 seconds to get it to boot normally. It works now, but what can I do to avoid that happening again?
That im not too sure about wen i wipe my chace and dalvik it completes the action and just romdomly cuts the phone off. When ever your wiping i say the best thing to do is just too make sure you have a back in cases something goes wrong

[Q] Autorotation in TWRP ?

Is there anyway that i can auto-rotate TWRP ??
Im using TWRP with multirom ..
Unfortunately my digitizer broke and the navigation area is not working.. ( Temporarily i'm managing the phone with full auto-rotation from gravity-box )
MAIN problem is im unable to use the "Swipe to flash" area in TWRP because of the broken digitizer..
I planned to use CWM but im afraid of loosing multirom..
So guys please suggest me about auto-rotation in TWRP or any other alternative idea to flash in MULTIROM..

Nope i didnt .. but i dont think TWRP has an auto-rotation.. if at all it existed at-least 1 would have suggested among the 100 views..
Try flashing CWM (non-touch) or PhilZ recovery, they might work for you... they use the Vol and Power buttons to perform recovery functions. It is simple to install or switch even if the screen is not working, you can do it through fastboot with a single command...
fastboot flash recovery cwmrecoveryimage.img
of course, substitute the actual recovery image file name.
EDIT: Nevermind... I didn't see you were using MultiROM until it was too late, I should probably read more thoroughly before replying.
