[Q] L3 can't boot on recovery - Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Aim: Flash CM9 ROM
Friend's L3 E400, bricked his phone and somehow managed to unbrick it and root it. No idea what kind of ROM he had on. It was GB though.
Got it on my hands today, tried to get into recovery by pressing Vol- + Home + Power. Phone got wiped (not exactly factory, but reset) and was asking for Google info as in starting it up for the first time.
So no access to recovery.
Rebooted to bootloader and flashed CWM recovery. Same thing happened, phone reset itself.
Downloaded the LG KDZ flasher, and the Greek Cosmote KDZ file and flashed it.
Tried to boot into recovery, still no luck.
Phone is no longer rooted. Tried to root using the usual script and i'm getting permission errors.
"adb reboot bootloader" : is working fine
"adb reboot recovery" : resetting phone
"adb reboot fastboot" : same as "adb reboot recovery"
If anyone has any tip for me I would be really greatful!
Tried a lot of things without any luck.
Tomorrow I'll have a discussion with my friend and elaborate a bit more on the issue.

1. Reinstal system
- Download latest system for you from http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=11
- Install normal by KDZ
2. Root phone
- Download attachment (maybe you should deactive antivirus for 10 minutes)
- Connect phone with USB Debbuging
- Open SuperOneClick
- Check "rageagainsthecage" in progam right side
- Click root
- After installation click "Yes" (root test), "OK" (su promp confirmation), and "Yes" or "Not" (donation)
- You have root
3. Install CWM
- Do that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405279
- To open CWM boot phone: Vol Up + Home + Power if not work use Link2SD or other app to "run in recovery mode".
4. Press "thanks" and dance for me!
- Regards!

On my LG L3 e400, it's volume down + home + power. And when the phone vibrate, I release the power button. I wait to be in recovery mode to release the others

You should have over 1 MILION likes of that post! Thanks mate, that's works!
I wanna dance for you: *shaking ass*

We managed to root the phone with your way!
We are now at the point where we "install/update" the CWM from ROM manager...

Why does it show that i have 2 recoveries installed?
Clicking any of those 3 buttons gives me an error, that it couldn't connect to the cwm's server...
Being more descriptive:
1. Installed the KDZ.
2. Rooted the phone using SuperOneClick.
3. Installed Terminal Emulator and ROM Manager.
4. Tried to use the ROM Manager and got the "can't connect error"
5. Tried VolDown+Home+Power to boot into Recovery. Phone opens up but factory reset. (Terminal Emulator and ROM Manager not installed anymore, but phone is still rooted)
6. Tried the Terminal Emulator to installed the recovery and at "# dd if=/sdcard/cwmrecovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17" i get "Cannot open for read. No such file or directory"
7. Tried to boot into bootloader and fastboot install the recovery zip into the recovery partition.. Seems to have worked fine but when booting into recovery phone factory resets again.
PROBLEM SOLVED BY REPEATING STEP 7!
Managed to get in the recovery after all, and therefore installed the CM9. All good! THANK YOU ALL

first try to install a recovery via fastboot:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If this was ok and you reboot into recovery (home + power) install a new ROM , wipe data/factory reset and wipe dalvik cache .

no i did not change, and when i flashed recovery then did not run in recovery mode, only lg logo , what can i do? :?
hmmm recovery not running even after flashing it? im guessing that you are pressing the buttons wrongly. my method is first power down the phone next press the power button till you feel the beep next let go of the power button and hold on to only the home button for as hard as you can... should work...
i think you don't have set-up fastboot correctly ..
type fastboot devices and tell me whats showing up in your cmd
recovery mode is not working, and this is my cmd picture

Xiaomi Redmi 2 2014811 bricked after updating SuperSu binary in recovery?

I'm not rly good with electronics etc, my phone came with root access permissions via Security MIUI app so I installed SuperSu to manage it easier (MIUI app reqiured to manually check each app to allow access), no custom ROM or anything installed, the way it happened was
1. updated supersu from google play
2. entered supersu app,it asked me to update su binary
3. I clicked yes through recovery
4. it rebooted and got bootlooped.
It's stuck at the "mi.com" screen when turning on, can't go into recovery, fastboot mode only shows an image of Miui mascot without any fastboot options. I've followed some tutorials online and got the thing below from minimal adb.

Fastboot will show that android icon only.
No fastboot options will be available there.
Now you need to perform some steps to recover your device..
Note - Your data will be wiped. Also, remove memory card (if any).
Now let's start the process -:
Download MIUI Fastboot ROM file.
Here's the link..
1GB RAM model - http://update.miui.com/updates/v1/fullromdownload.php?d=wt88047_global&b=F&r=global&n=
2GB RAM model - http://update.miui.com/updates/v1/fullromdownload.php?d=wt88047_pro_global&b=F&r=global&n=
Also extract this file and put in C Drive.
Now turn your PC on..
And install latest Mi flash tool. http://api.bbs.miui.com/url/MiFlash
Turn your device off. By pulling battery. (Assuming that your device is in bootloop).
Go to fastboot mode (power + volume down)
Now turn your PC on.
Open Mi flash tool.
Connect your device.
Click on refresh button in flash tool.
Now, it will show some random numbers. (This is your device).
Now, select your ROM fastboot file which you downloaded and extracted.
After that, choose 'flash all' and click Flash..
It will take some time.
After that your device will be rebooted.
Voila! Your device is back to life!

Axon 7 not able to install TWRP or lock bootloader

Hello all,
I need help with my Axon 7 (A2017G)
I upgraded my phone to Oreo 8.1 (AospExtended), played with it a bit, but decided to downgrade to 7.1.1 (stock) again.
After I did so, I noticed something different. Firstly when it boots up, this screen appears
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It goes away after 5 seconds and boots or if I click the vol up or down button, it takes me to this screen
If I choose anything other than Recovery, the phone just boots up
If I choose Recovery, it takes me here
I cannot boot into recovery mode at all. I can't find out how to install TWRP recovery on here at all.
Also If i boot using power+vol down, this appears
Please advise how to install TWRP and lock the bootloader
Have you tried the Axon 7 tool by Djkuz?
It should be able to get you out of this, I'll find the link for you.

that is, like, 100% normal. you have stock recovery and that FTM mode just gives you adb. If you can't enter fastboot then you would have to install it via EDL.
But before doing that, why the heck would you want to lock the bootloader? Lol you can just hide the 5 sec screen and sell it (or return to zte, they never check), there's no difference at all
If you're gonna lock anyways, you have to install TWRP via EDL (use EDL Tool by djkuz) then install the "remove inscription" by raystef66 or follow the steps on his guide. Then you will get fastboot. After you do that, just reboot the phone. TWRP should be replaced with stock recovery again. Check if it was (power + vol+) and if you enter stock recovery then go to Fastboot (via "adb reboot bootloader") and do the command to lock
Of course you have to be FULLY stock (no magisk or whatever) or you'll brick your device

[Solved] H990DS only able to boot into fastboot and static screen

Hi,
I was trying to install Super Rom but unfortunately I am unable to boot the phone. I had rooted the phone a while back. When I try to turn the phone on I get stuck with the dreaded static screen which is normally an easy fix however I can't boot into TWRP as that gives my a static screen too. The only thing I have access to is the fastboot menu and when I try "fastboot reboot" I get stuck at the LG "lifes good" screen. I have tried to flash two different versions of TWRP (one given in dirty santa and the most up to date for H990DS).
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!

Don't use fastboot reboot. That starts it booting the stock rom, which before the first boot into twrp reflashes the stock recovery again. You need to pull the battery to leave fastboot, then boot into recovery by holding volume down, holding power until the screen turns on, then tapping power repeatedly until it asks to factory reset, say yes. When twrp boots swipe to allow writing to system and flash something. Then booting the rom won't eat twrp anymore.

Thanks for your help, but I have managed to fix my issues! I will add in a fix guide later for anyone else that stumbles upon this.

So I can now boot into SuperRom but I am unable to go back into TWRP. When I do the usual button procedure to get to TWRP I am asked to do the LG reset thing, I press yes twice and then I am met with this screen:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

To boot into Android I need to open fastboot and reflash the recovery, then reboot but I still don't have any access to the recovery. Any ideas?

I'm fairly certain that's the one I'm using, but ill re-download it and try again.
Just downloaded your version and it was indeed the one I have been using already. I did however download it again and tried to reflash it using the method you stated above but I end up with the same screen. The only way I can get it to boot into Android after that screen is to boot into fastboot, flash your recovery then "fastboot reboot".
Problem solved! Solution:
1. Download the TWRP app from the play store
2. Using the app, flash Phoenix591's TWRP (here)
3. Use ADB and reboot into recovery using "adb reboot recovery"
Once I did these steps I was able to use the usual method (volume down, release power for one second etc) to boot into TWRP. Happy days!

Note 3 SM-N9005 coming from firmware LRX21V.N9005XXSGBRI2

What are the steps to flash?
In theory
unlock BL (is it needed at all, and if how for the SM-9005 Note III)
flash RM (TWRP etc., which version?)
flash CR (LOS and so on, what is a rock solid option?)
flash GAPPS
Or do I need to root first?
There is no OEM Unlock in the [Developer options]
Any links to follow? For a specific method suitable for Note3?
Best ROM for me would be, bug free overall operation, no lags
Any recommends for a flawless and well performing custom ROM (above FW LRX21V.N9005XXSGBRI2 is stock)
The steps are mostly correct. You may have to ensure Vaultkeeper is disabled after unlocking the bootloader. See this.
You do not have to root your device in order to install a custom ROM. All you should have to do is unlock your bootloader, ensure Vaultkeeper/KG is disabled, then install TWRP, which you can use to flash a custom ROM.
Starting with a shopping list:
Heimdall Recovery Flasher
TWRP for SM-N9500
from Team Win Website TWRP for HLTE
Bring the phone to Download mode:
Powering off and press the Power, Volume Down, and Home buttons simultaneously. When the blue screen appears, release all 3 buttons and press Volume Up
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
In Heimdall - Utilities - Detect
Nice try won't do - Heimdall wants a gzipped tar containing a firmware.xml - neither the xml is there
Heading over to ODIN website
In Odin, import the appropriate twrp.tar file for your variant with the "AP" and press the "Start" button
Succeed 1 ?
Won't install yet. After Reboot into Recovermode "Power, VolUp, Home" Standard Recovery shows up
There is no OEM unlock in Dev Options. The only thing visible is Allow USB Debugging
With USB plugging in, phone is asking PTP or MTP but not debugging. I would assume some additional step is missing.
OK, I'm one step beyond:
After starting Odin, filling the AP button with TWRP, this time I disabled under Options TAB "auto reboot" before starting to flash, then I saw the pass message
Disconnecting the USB and pressing power, volume up and home button until reboot
Releasing the power button instantly and kept holding volume up + home until it enters TWRP recovery
Well, that's the first step, now the wipes
Wipe and pull “Swipe to Factory Reset”
Advanced Wipe, System and pull “Swipe to Wipe”
Now I connect USB und use the filemanager to upload ROM and GAP to the internal storage.
Still not sure which to use.
