Hello,
I am stuck and it is really anoying. I am trying to flash CM on my LG L5 (e610)
I have installed adb, and rooted the device already. I have su and when i do a check
for adb to work 'adb devices' it shows up with my device. but when i enter 'adb shell' hit enter
and after that typ 'su' it does nothing.. nothing pops up on my phone.. i have USB debuging enabled and
it is in charge mode. What is it i do wrong?
-Fireworkfan
EDIT: I can use other commands, rebooting my phone with ADB works perfect.. what am i doing wrong with adb shell thing.. is there something i need to instal first? i only placed the .bin file in the directory of my phone.. Also i have 'SuperSU' shouldnt 'su' be something els? i am so confused
after you write adb shell, if you have SuperUser or SuperSU on your phone, unlock your phone and accept root for adb comands and after you can go with su and do what you want

That is the whole problem, I do not get a grant or decline messages from my SuperSU... I have checked it over a 100 times, on the mainscreen or even with the app itself open. I do however get the Grant or Decline message when I use apps like pimpmyrom on my phone itself.. I have tried it on a different computer to now, again without succes.. anyone an idea? There would be someone that would like to help me over a chat with this problem?

Hi All,
I installed Androot and recovery flasher and tried to update/backup the recovery.
But i can't. I only got message "backup failure".
As I understand i have to give root permissions to recovery flasher but androot don't ask me when recovery flasher start.
I'm sure, androot works because I give "root" to terminal and adb.
Can I give root manually? Or is any other options?

Hi.
There are a few things we should check, and a few things to try.
1) Try running Androot again and see what happens. Does it say "already rooted" or anything else?
2) When you look at the list of installed apps, do you see the "Superuser" app? If you don't, you'll have to root the phone again and install Superuser.apk before you reboot. If you do see Superuser, open it and check the history and the settings. See if your backup app is listed in the logs.
3) Connect the phone to your PC and open a Command Prompt. Run "adb shell", then try to run "su". If you get "Permission denied", you aren't rooted, or Superuser hasn't been granted root privileges; look at the phone's screen to see if it asks you to "Allow" or "Deny" granting privileges.
4) Try SuperOneClick. I'm not positive, but I think they stopped development of Universal Androot (let me know if I'm wrong about this). SuperOneClick works through adb, so make sure "adb devices" lists your phone when connected to your PC. Download and install SuperOneClick, run it (as Administrator if you use Windows 7 or whatever), and click the Root button.
Once you've tried these steps, we'll have a better idea what's going on. It's possible that you were only given temporary root and it disappeared after a reboot. *shrug*
Let us know what happens. Cheers.
1. It says "already rooted"
2. Yes I see "Superuser' and 2 "rooted" applications "Terminal emulator" and "Unknown". "Unknown" appeared after I connected to the phone by adb shell su bla-bla.
3. See above. It was as you described.
4.Ok. I'll try!

Which twrp, first version didn't have adb support as I recall...
Happened to me too. Go to device manager and uninstall any drivers, then install generic adb device
I will preface this with stating that this is not my phone. A friend had rooted his LG G2 and installed CWM. After he accepted the OTA, the phone was essentially rendered useless. After this process, the phone will be reverted back to 100% STOCK. It took a while to compile all of this information, and I give all credit to respective owners, but this process I pieced together from multiple threads and was able to make this work.
Symptoms-
Not booting (Hanging at LG screen)
Able to access CWM recovery
Unable to Mount USB
Unable to access Download Mode
#####1#####
Uninstall all previous LG Drivers installed (Add/Remove Programs)
#####2#####
Install PDAnet to get the drivers required installed.
#####3#####
Once PDAnet is installed, ADB should recognize the device when it is in 'Recovery' mode.
(ADB Devices should give the result of: ###DEVICEID### Recovery)
#####4#####
Download aboot.img from: http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/D802/Stock_Firmware/10b_EUR_16G_partitions
(The file will need to be renamed to aboot.img)
#####5#####
Download: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760973106
#####6#####
Extract the files we need:
g2_security
loki_patch
loki_flash
recovery.img
#####7#####
Get into a command prompt and run the following:
adb push g2_security /sdcard/
adb root
adb push loki_patch /data/local/tmp
adb push loki_flash /data/local/tmp
adb push recovery.img /data/local/tmp
adb shell "dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot of=/data/local/tmp/aboot.img"
adb shell "chmod 644 /data/local/tmp/aboot.img"
adb shell "chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/loki_patch"
adb shell "chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/loki_flash"
adb shell "/data/local/tmp/loki_patch recovery /data/local/tmp/aboot.img /data/local/tmp/recovery.img /data/local/tmp/recovery.lok"
adb shell "/data/local/tmp/loki_flash recovery /data/local/tmp/recovery.lok"
adb shell "rm /sdcard/g2_security"
adb shell "dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota of=/sdcard/fota-backup.img"
adb shell "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota"
adb shell sync
adb reboot recovery
Once the above is done, the phone should boot into TWRP. I shut the phone off at this point and held "Volume Up" + "Power" and Download mode now worked!
#####8#####
Uninstalled PDAnet and then followed the instructions on the following page (including installing the drivers)
#####9#####--At this point the following thread finished reverting the phone to stock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448960
My only suggestion is that you RUN THE MD5 HASH to ensure the large file downloads correctly. After this was done, the phone was successfully reverted back to stock.

My ADB keeps saying that my phone is unauthorized ;( I can only access .zip. Anyone else have this issue? Have tried multiple drivers, Sideload is the only thing that works.

Same issue here. In the command prompt, anything I do returns the unauthorized device error.
EDIT- I'm going to try and sideload a custom ROM, and then flash the stock ROM after setting USB debugging to see if that helps at all. I'll let you know

Please refer to the initial post. This will only work if you can access the recovery. If you cannot access recovery, this method isn't going to work. Sorry!

Did you not see what I wrote? Recovery was the only thing I could access. This method didn't work because the RSA Token wasn't authenticated on my computer any longer. My phone was bricked. I now have a new one. Lesson learned. Make sure you have USB debugging on with an RSA token on your computer at all times.
Did you end up wiping the internal SD with the process? I am in a similar situation except I don't have a friend like you to help me out haha.

I factory wiped/reset my phone is CWM which got my phone to be recognized as in recovery.
I can't get past the adb shell commands to work. it keeps saying 'dd: can't open '/data/local/tmp/aboot.img' : Not a directory
I tried with the double quotations and without to see if the command would work thinking I was messing up the syntax.
perfect just saved my a$$. ota took for the 24a update. found this and i am back where i was.awesomes
I'm stuck right here as far as download mode goes.
I installed TWRP on a d800 rooted with stock 4.2.2. The TWRP install went ok but it never booted afterward.
I can get into twrp, but can't sideload anything because the computer does not connect to the device, I hear the connection noise the computer makes but nothing in the device manager.
any ideas?
May I suggest you use "adb push rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip" instead of sideload (the sideload doesn't have to be enabled)

Thanks, I get
error: closed
I was wrong about my computer not seeing my device, it's in the device manager under Android and the adb drivers are installed.
I also renamed the rom to "update" to make it simpler
What's up now ?
Sorted it out or still issues there ?
I also tried the adb shell method.
I also tried this method through TWRP terminal and nada.
If I did something wrong here let me know, hopefully I can get it up and going

ok, let's do it like this
1. copy rom to c:\rom.zip
2. while in adb folder "adb push c:\rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip"
that should work, you don't need sideload to be enabled.
Please test and report.

I moved the file to the root of my C drive changed the name to "rom.zip"
Copied the command you supplied and got this result
I know my phone is connected because I can reboot it by using the command " adb reboot"
I used this;
adb push C:\Android\sdk\platform-tools\rom.zip
And it is now ready to install through TWRP!
Hold your breath.......
Edit;
Failed but at least it's in the twrp list
"unable to open zip"
I think I got it, I was able to access the firmware update screen.
Sorry fir these incomplete responses, I don't want you to keep looking for a resolve while I do this.
If your still here?
I'll be back!
Success!
After nothing would work except for loading the rom through adb I decided to wipe the whole thing.
I reloaded the rom and when selected for install it opened instead of preparing for install so I thought I would reboot and when I did I was prompted by su that my device may have lost root and gave me the option to reinstall it, I chose yes and when rebooting it hung (normal) at the LG logo, however this time the charge light was flashing! I attempted to access "download" and was successful in loading the stock rom.
In the end it looks like TWRP was the culprit, it used to be my favorite but not for this device
All is well, thanks for your help...
Hi folks!
I wanted to install Cyanogenmod as described in Cyanogenmod Wiki.
So I downloaded ioroot, rootet my phone via adb and used AutoRec to install TWRP (version 2.7.0.0).
Then I rebooted into recovery mode, wiped EVERYTHING and wanted to sideload the CM image via adb.
So in TWRP I selected Advanced/ADB Sideload and swipe to start sideload but all that happens is the notification "Starting ADB sideload feature...".
Consequently the phone is not recognized by adb on my PC.
What can I do to make the sideload feature work?
BTW: TWRP tells me that my devices doesnt appear to be rooted when I want to leave TWRP (reboot). Moreover when i want to enter TWRP again (by pressing POWER + VOLUE DOWN) I first get a screen that asks me if want to do a factory hard reset! Only if I agree (by pressing the power key) I get into TWRP.
Contrary when I enter the Download Mode (VOLUME UP when when connecting the powered off phone to the USB port) I am told that the phone is rooted. Moreover the LG Mobile Support Tool is able to detect the device and tells me that the installed software is up to date.
Thx!!
have you tried typing 'adb sideload rom.zip' on a command window on your pc? name the rom, rom.zip, and have it your adb folder.. also type the command from that folder
Make sure you're in the proper folder in prompt and the device name will be sideload if you do, adb devices.

Thanks but this doesnt help either. Same error message "error: device not found"
boot into twrp, don't start sideload
try adb devices, if you get not find you need to change the usb drivers
when you have it working, type, adb push /sdcard/ rom.zip .. check the syntax on that command, but i think that's right from memory
