[Q] L3 can't boot on recovery

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

[FIX] Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ZE550KL Marshmallow update problem, failed to mount /asdf

I have good experience with other phones but this is my first time working with ZE550KL.
So I took my uncle's phone and he asked me to update his phone to the latest firmware to get the VoLTE feature.
He is was on ZE550KL_WW_21.40.1220.1708 which is Marshmallow of the ZEN UI.
I have downloaded the latest firmware from the ASUS website but I couldn't update it because the recovery which came with the marshmallow update is broken.
These are the errors I got

}
Here is what I did, and hope this works for everyone.
Hoping that you already went and searched about the problem over the internet.
These are the things you need to download :
ADB and fastboot
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0aDjdU4gTwZZW1HUHhqWnEteXM/view
Recovery image file
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0aDjdU4gTwZa1MyUmVPN3BhQjQ
Latest firmware:
https://www.asus.com/in/support/Download/39/1/0/22/ZROQURlyupei1ZQz/32/
1. Download the adb and fastboot drivers. Download the latest firmware and copy it onto your internal storage.
2. Boot into the bootloader.
3. Download the recovery image and paste it into the adb folder.
4. Now type the following command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. This step is very important.
Now, all you have to do is hold the power button and the volume down button to boot into the installed recovery.
Remember that if you restart your phone after step 4, your old recovery(which does not work) will still be there.
6. Now select update from sdcard and select the zip file of the latest firmware you downloaded.
7. It will take at least 10 minutes to install, don't panic if you think the screen froze.
I hope this solves the issues many users are facing.
Feel free to ask questions, I will be very happy to answer.
The recovery we installed is the recovery of Android Lollipop version of the Zen UI ROM.

Thanks. It worked. The only difference is that after flashing the old recovery, my SD card was showing blank. So i selected the adb sideload option and flashed the new build.. Thanks for your guide.

Thanks but few doubts remain. The recovery you used is from Lollipop`s 1.17.40.1503 right?
Can we not do this by installing a temporary recovery image (twrp)?
I have also read elsewhere ( https://devs-lab.com/e-unable-to-mount-asdf-recovery-error-solved.html ) that you would need the boot image too. But your instructions are way too easier and easy to follow. Why don't you use boot image?
If we are using the boot image then which version of it should we use?

Before I tried any of this... First thing I did was boot TWRP and install the lastest firmware.
But I couldn't do so because TWRP doesn't let you flash .img files.
And for the best result it is always better for you to use the official recovery to flash an official firmware.
Because ASUS f***ed up, I needed to install the previous version of the recovery to flash the firmware.
And I'm very happy that my guide worked for you.
Don't forget to give thanks. :laugh:

I haven't tried it yet. So you didn't tamper with boot.img at all. Right?
Also as previously asked what's the build number from which you extracted the recovery.img? Is it from .1503?
My current build is .1708 same as what you worked on. And will data get erased during this process?

How can I boot into the bootloader? is it by unlocking it? or is there any other non-invasive way?
Update: I installed as per your instructions. Device shows "Optimizing app 5 of 51".
Thank you.

Thank you
Thank you sir, this helped me a lot.

recovery link is asking need access plzz help

My Asus Zenfone doesn't boot anymore and doesn't even allow me to factory reset it from the bootloader. How to force reset it??

I think the folder you extracted the rom must be in C:\ and have no spaces or symbols, e.g. C:\miuirom and not C:\miui rom or C:\miui_rom.

Your device is in locked bootloader, you need to unlock your bootloader first before flashing ane image

P10 black screen bricked!!

I tried to flash a custom rom (MorfuZ) and after installation is complete, the phone reboot and stucked on black screen. I can't get to fastbook or recovery screen. The MultiTool software recognises the device. I tried flashing trough the ''Unbrick'' method and it seems the process is completed, but the phone won't boot. I tried to turn it up but even the screen is not turned on. I have no red or green led as the others threads says (yes I've read a lot of them). The only sign of life is that my PC detects it as "Fastboot2.0" and it's supposed that I flash cust, boot, system and recovery imgs but nothing happens at all. It sounds it's rebooting and the cmd also says that but there is no change. My phone is LATAM version (WAS-LX3). Already bootloader unlocked, installed TWRP and rooted (magisk). My laptop recognises the device the (prompts sounds when connected.)
I tried flashing boot, recovery, system from this .zip file Warsaw-L23_C605B172_Firmware_Panama_Bolivia_Peru_Chile_Colombia_Guatemala_El Salvador_Nicaragua_Honduras_Nonspecific_Android7.0_EMUI5.1_0501 but I couldn't find the CUST file to flash with Multitool software.
This is what I get after flash using MultiTool

If You still have TWRP and if you are on Emui 8 use HWOTA8 method, otherwise if you are on Emui 5 use HWOTA7 to flash your build. As you have already unlocked bootloader the first step in script will be automatically skipped.
Its very easy just follow my video tutorial. Instruction for HWOTA7 is on Serbian but you have instruction on English and some things are logical just view video.

Good luck!

Thanksfor the reply. My phone won't boot to recovery nor fastboot mode. I can't turn it on or off, the screen does not display anything, it just sounds when I plug it to the pc. No led light or boot logo

Yes I understand u must use DC phoenix and test point method after that Hcu client to restore Imei, seriall. Dc phoenix and Hcu client are about 20 usd credit for 3 days. But for test point u must open the cover and on board find test point, conect it, plug usb and run Dc phoenix to restore all partitions. Its not so easy but phone could be fixed.

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_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
