Hello Guyzzz!!!!!
A Great Newzz for ALL!!!!! First the recovery was not compiled by me!
But NOW I am BACK with a FULLY WORKING RECOVERY AND FULLY COMPILED BY ME :good:
We have now a FULLY WORKING CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY v5.0.2.8.
The CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY is TESTED on :-
1. LG OPTIMUS 3D MAX P725
2. LG OPTIMUS 3D MAX P720H
I HELD NO RESPONSIBILITIES FOR BRICKED PHONES. YOU MAY TRY ON P720 BUT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Credit Goes to :-
1. I, Me and Myself ( For taking the initiative,compiling testing and removing all bugs )
2.. Cynogenmod for the SOURCES.
3. P720H tester ZOOM.
According to me, the CWM RECOVERY is fully working.
HERE ARE THE STEPS TO INSTALL THE CWM RECOVERY :-
Download the CWM RECOVeRY FINAL.zip from the link given below :
http://www.mediafire.com/?p59d9ppjlhkcp67
Copy the cwm5.0.2.8.img on the ROOT OF THE SDCARD not the External SDCARD ( Root of SDCARD means not in any folder )
The BIGGEST REQUIREMENT IS YOUR OPTIMUS 3D MAX should be ROOTED!!!
Now download ANY TERMINAL EMULATOR from the GOOGLE PLAY!!!!!
You can try this :-
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en
And install it.
Type the following commands in TERMINAL EMULATOR :-
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p6.backup bs=4096
dd if=/sdcard/cwm5.0.2.8.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096
Once complete.
Turn off your phone.
1st hold 3d key then volume down button and at last power button.
Keep holding till the LG LOGO appears and leave when it appears.
You will enter the CWM Recovery
Proof of the Recovery :-
Worked like a charm! First I couldn't get the # to appear (the phone WAS rooted) so I just used the terminal emulator you specified, and that solved it.

is it somehow possible to activate nable adb access in CWM 5.0.2.8?
or can i flash a zip to do this?
Again .. i can enter S/W Upgrade Mode
There i only see S/W Upgrade
Please wait
while upgrading....
(NO ADB ACCESS! But the Tool recognize the phone but won't let me start the sw upgrade.)
In CWM i can mount & unmount storage and flash zip files or backup / Restore.
BUT no ADB access and Restoring the backup i made doesnt work either)
What breaking my head is that the LG Update must had set a flag to boot into recovery after i downloaded it so mindless.
Since then i stuck in cwm bootloop. There mus be a way to reset this flag. Somehow!!!)
Its over .. i flashed CWM-Loop-DeLooper -> now i stuck @ LG Logo.. also vol+ to enter S/W Upgrade not working anymore. Now its bricked! ARGH!

Thanks a lot! Its strange that in any instruction not says this way of use CWM, i read a lot differents cwm instructions, but the always the same - use power off key ot use 3d button.
Who don`t how to use CWM menu :
"properties button" - up
"home button" - down
"back button" - back
"search button" - ENTER
Cannot select options in cwm
Hi Eklovya,
Brilliant job done!!
I have successfully rooted and installed CWM following your method.
However, when i go boot to CWM, I can use the volume buttons to highlight the options (I wanted to backup), but I am not able to select the options. i tried the power button and the 3D button, no go. What do i do?
I just exchanged my P920 and got myself this P725 today!!!
schubeir
EDIT: my bad!!! found the solution in the post just above!!!!
schubeir
(possibly long post , I will try to make a post at least a little fun to read).
Guys, I humbly come before you, kneeling and desperate, trying to solve my problem .
I've serarched XDA and a lot (!!) of others forums and comunities to revive my P720H (LG optimus 3D Max in Brazil).
I am not a complete noob in custom firmwares for Android, but this time, the LG phone gave me a hell of a headache (and almost a divorce, for the 3 days going too late to bed, trying to solve it).
I will explain what happened and what I've already tried to do and the results.
Causes:
I've tried to install ClockworkMod in my P720H because it still was in Android 2.3.6 (I think).
I've successfully rooted the phone using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886057 with the SuperSU app on GooglePlay.
When I asked CWM app to reboot in recovery mode (to wipe things and install the .zip file on the sdcard root) things got bad.
My phone could not get passed the LG logo anymore.
So far we have a cause: CWM app did something to the phone. I am not able to boot the recovery menu nor to pass the LG logo on the screen.
Over the communities we may find that it's a common issue.
It is important to say that I am able to enter the 'S/W updating' state. When I connect the phone to the computer, holding VOL+ and placing the battery, I got the S/W screen.
What can I do? In several posts (even here in xda) we may find 3 or 4 different solutions to restore the phone. I think I've already tried everything, but I am sure that the steps became fuzzy in my read and I mixed the solutions in the end.
Drivers:
- I have already the drivers installed: When I connect the phone (with or without battery and with or without vol+ pressed) my Device Manager recognizes everything. I don't have any component marked as 'unknown device' or with exclamations points or anything. This is a good thing, I guess. I had to install more than one thing to solve every driver problem. I don't remember exactly, but I think that the LGDriver-something and the omap4430 something too.
Solutions:
- I have tried the LG Support Tool and so far it appears to be the closest to a solution that I've reached. With the phone connected (in S/W mode or no), I insert the IMEI and the software recognizes the model and starts downloading something (500mb approx.). But after decompressing, during the installation phase, it gets stuck at 4%. I waited for more than 20min and still got nothing better than 4%. It appears to be a common issue too.
- The LG_FlashTool (version 1.2) does not work either. In fact, it does not even recognizes the phone. I've changed the COMport to 41 (according to some guide) on Windows Device Manager and chose the port 1 on LGFlashTool. Even after selecting the kdz, bin and fls files, the software does not connect to the phone. I don't have a screenshot here, but I've seen here in xda that the software displays the model of the phone on the top and a READY message on port 1. Mine does not do it.
- KKDZ_FW_UPD_EN: I've tried this one but it does not even start working. The interface is not that good, so I don't know where I may be failing. I need to 'read phone information' or not? What do I have to chose on each combobox? How to proceed?
And why the hell is there so much .exe on this thing? Do I have to run a apache server to do something?!
- OMAP4BOOT: This one connects to the phone and works, I think. But I don't know its purpose. It's just to place the phone on 'S/W updating' mode? If so, it's useless, because I can enter it easily. If no, maybe I am missing something. Either way, I don't have a version for the P720H. If I remeber correctly, it proposes P999, P760, P870, ... I choose P760 to test it and it works (apparently, again).
- SmartFlashTool: I don't remember if I have already tried this one. As I said, it was too much already.
- NVFlash: I've found it only to G2X, so I didn't know if I should try forcing it to my model. I can give it a try if you help me.
Other softwares and downloads:
KDZ:
- V10B_00 and V1A_00: found today and downloaded for my model and country (will try to extract things and use it later).
- LG_P725_V10F_00: I was using this one until yesterday, because I didn't have the one to P720H
- LGP700AT-01-V10d-232-03-SEP-11-2012+0.dz : Found in an indian repository of some kind of LG data leak. Apparently is useless. DZextract gave me nothing.
DLL: LGP720_20120330_LGFLASHv1377: Needed in some of the softwares above (LG FLashTool? I don't remeber).
BIN and FLS: LGP725_LG_P725_V10F_00_AP.bin and LGP725_LG_P725_V10F_00_CP.fls, extracted from LG_P725_V10F_00.kdz. I don't know, but I should try extracting these from the V10A_00, because apparently is the correct one for my model/country (I am not in my house right now).
Well... :crying:
tl;dr version:
I am facing a LG logo boot loop in P720H. I've tried to reboot CWM in recovery mode but it didn't work. I've tried several approaches but I don't even know what is the point of each one. I found that this is the best topic to use, because is one of the fews that covers the P720H.
I have all those softwares and almost 5gb of downloaded material (kdz, img, bin, exe, ...) but I don't know what I am supposed to use.
In the end, I want my P720H in android 4.x if possible. If not, I just want the crap 2.3.6 again. :crying:
Can you help me? I am not a total noob in custom firmwares and roms, and I am willing to pass all the information that I can :fingers-crossed:
Hi guys ,
at first i am a noob but i want to learn
Today i decided to install custom firmware ( P.A.C v22 ) so i rooted my phone , unlocked the bootloader. Then installed recovery , got into it , did everything :
Download Rom + Latest Gapps (Links in "Downloads" section)
- Copy them to your Internal SDCard
- Reboot into Recovery
- Do a Factory Reset/Wipe data
- Wipe Cache
- Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache
- Advanced -> Fix permissions
- Mounts and Storage -> Format /system
- Install zip from SDCard -> Choose zip from SDCard -> Choose the Rom and install
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And in the last step i got installation error , i panicked and rebooted phone.
Now there is only Sony logo , i can't turn off my phone , soft resets dont help , i cant even turn it off. Fastboot and flashmode dont work
Is it dead or can i still rescue it ?
If there is sony logo,then ur on safe side.Its just you have to flash stock ftf through flashtool

1.- Hold the volume up and power buttons.
2.- Once the sony logo disappears and the screen turns off immediately release the buttons.
By doing this your phone will be off.
Now it should work Flashmode and Fastboot.
Good luck

That is what i did yesterday. I left it for the night with Sony logo on because i wasnt able to turn him off in the way you said. When I woke up there was no Sony logo , i plugged it to the computer and there is red led light but i managed to get into both flash an fastboot modes so there is hope
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35096528#post35096528
I managed to mess up mine by incorrectly flashing a rom. This sorted me out. Had red light only, nothing else. Brown trousers for a few hours...
Managed to flash stock rom and everything is ok but when i try to install P.A.C there is mount error and installation is aborted.
I've read about this and the solution is installing opensemc kernel BUT i can't , because of error ( doing this by flashtool ).
**** happens like they say but i want this rom soooo badly , anyone ?

Hello everybody.
Someone sold me a modified Xperia Arc S, lately i felt it was having troubles because of it so i wanted to just wipe data and turn back to a clean install.
The one who sold that phone to me told me to push - button to go to a Advanced menu, that's what i did, i wiped all... And even system part :/
All i know is :
- I have a trollface "U Mad" when i boot on my phone
- I can access to CWM- based Recovery v5.5.0.4 (where i did the wipe) with - button, but i don't have any backup there so can't restore.
- I can install things as zip in CWM
I tried to use flashtools, but i can't boot with blue led, so it does not see my phone in fastboot :

HI~
could somebody helps me~
my situation-
I have LG F180L (korea version, 4.1.2)
few months ago, I flash it to 4.1.2 Taiwan version ( v10F) with KDZ updater.
it's successed!
(I backup original F180L's base-band and restore ,
some days past, I found something wrong---
* Standby-time not to long,
* i can't into download-mode & recovery
Apart of this , it works fine. (phones, SMS, WIFI...etc)
)
Few days ago, when I knew F180L release Kitkat 4.4.2 ROM (korea version v30c),
so I want to go-back to korea-version
But I can't into download-mode (volume UP&DOWN + plug USB to PC) ,
and recovery no-functional-list (it's only green-droid with triangle)
and then, I install freegee on google play store , unlock BL & install CWM 6.0.4.8 recovery
reboot into recovery (worked!), clear user-data & cache first
(no download-mode ,so I download a (universal 4.4.2 v30c) zip package on gfan web-site, and copy it to my F180L
zip-file source: bbs_gfan_com/android-7520119-1-3.html)
then install zip from SD
everything in install-process looks so good,
But ~ reboot,
only black background with white GOOGLE (6 letters) and a opened-lock icon bottom the screen
about 1second later , goes black~ no screen ,and phone still power-ON (the temperature more the more hot)
I can't power-OFF it, until run out of power...
after a day, I try to power-ON the phone , red LED flashing 3 or 4 times , and nothing happend
now~
it seems run out of power, SLEEP ~ SLEEP and SLEEP, maybe volt too low
I think it become to a brick, help me PLZ ~
-----------
When I connect/disconnect phone and PC with usb-cable, (OS : win 8)
I can heard the sound of device plug/unplug ,
but I check windows device-manager , there is no device can be find~

Hi , I have a grand duos GT-I9082 which was on 4.1.1 I manually rooted it some year ago , updated to 4.2 then 4.4.4 then now it is on cwm 12.1 android 5.1.1 ( pawit ) with no much problem. I tried to upgrade my friends phone (GT-I9082) which was on original 4.2.2 samsung rom.
I tried to change the recovery using odin 3.09 and "recovery-20141213-odin.tar" , the process went fine with passed and completed like this picture :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
( from this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...l/how-to-return-galaxy-grand-duos-gt-t3112004 )
odin finished with success ( pass - green ) then rebooted the phone.
but when the phone rebooted , I held the ( home+vol up + power ) but instead of the new recovery it went to the original recovery. I tried flashing zip from external sd memory with original recovery area, but it could not verify the package and didn't install. so I rebooted the phone and it went to samsung 4.2.2 . so in case that odin was successful but nothing changed !
Then I tried this recovery : "philz_touch_6.19.3-i9082.tar.md5" , this time I used odin 3.04 , and it could change the recovery. then with this recovery I installed this rom file : "cm-12.1-20150703-UNOFFICIAL-i9082.zip" from this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal.../rom-cm-12-1-galaxy-grand-duos-i9082-t3073108
which is working fine on my own grand.
android 5.1.1 installed and booted fine , but now I see that home button is not working anymore. even in philz touch , there is a test button function , when I press buttons even volume or touch buttons , they return the keyboard code like 138 for example , but when I press home button no code is returning.
I can only access recovery mode via advanced reboot menu of the rom on power key. but I cannot hold home button +volume up or down to access download mode to flash it with odin again.
I tried to factory reset ( format /data and /cache and delvik via philz touch ) then Installed android 4.4.4 : cm-11-20141112-UNOFFICIAL-i9082.zip , but that didn't help for home button too.
I searched and saw that there are apps for rebooting into recovery or download ( odin ) mode , and tried 4 or 5 of them but none work on cyanogenmod roms. when I select reboot into download , it reboots normally and loads the android.
even samsung test code *#0*# do not work on this cyanogenmod roms.
I am now tring to learn java development kit , to reboot the phone to recovery via command : "adb reboot download"
on my own grand 5.1.1 cm 12.1 , when i use that command from phone terminal app , it returns "device not found" . I hope jdk and adb in windows helps to reboot it into odin mode. as I cannot re-program even stock rom to use samsung kies now. because that needs booting into download mode too.
any suggestions ?:crying:

Hi , I have a grand duos GT-I9082 which was on 4.1.1 I manually rooted it some year ago , updated to 4.2 then 4.4.4 then now it is on cwm 12.1 android 5.1.1 ( pawit ) with no much problem. I tried to upgrade my friends phone (GT-I9082) which was on original 4.2.2 samsung rom.
I tried to change the recovery using odin 3.09 and "recovery-20141213-odin.tar" , the process went fine with passed and completed like this picture :
( from this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...l/how-to-return-galaxy-grand-duos-gt-t3112004 )
odin finished with success ( pass - green ) then rebooted the phone.
but when the phone rebooted , I held the ( home+vol up + power ) but instead of the new recovery it went to the original recovery. I tried flashing zip from external sd memory with original recovery area, but it could not verify the package and didn't install. so I rebooted the phone and it went to samsung 4.2.2 . so in case that odin was successful but nothing changed !
Then I tried this recovery : "philz_touch_6.19.3-i9082.tar.md5" , this time I used odin 3.04 , and it could change the recovery. then with this recovery I installed this rom file : "cm-12.1-20150703-UNOFFICIAL-i9082.zip" from this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal.../rom-cm-12-1-galaxy-grand-duos-i9082-t3073108
which is working fine on my own grand.

Try flashfire or mobile Odin by chainfire to flash stock ROM without going to download mode,
If you want to try by adb make sure to install USB drivers and get a working cable then go to developer option ( you can enable it by going to about phone and then clicking on build number until you get a message says that you enabled dev options ) , and enable Android debugging
Connect the mobile to laptop/PC
And then type adb reboot download
You should reboot to download mode

You might wanna check USB Jig thread. It's a device that can trigger our phone to reboot into dload/odin mode, without pushing any button.
It's just a simple device, you can even make it yourself.

the phone is not with me today , but I am wondering whether is this a software issue or a hardware issue. I hope it being a software issue as i searched and saw others had similiar problems too.
on my own grand which is now on cm12.1 pawit android 5.1.1 , I tested the adb ,
settings for root access is on : Apps and ADB
on my laptop ( win8.1 x64 ) : I installed java develpment kit and android sdk tools like this guide :
http://www.howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android-debug-bridge-utility/
now adb in windows can see the phone :
***************************************************

but when I reboot the phone " adb reboot download" device reboots normally and loads android cyanogenmod again. any ideas ?
in adb help , there is no adb reboot download command :
************************************************************************
adb reboot [bootloader|recovery] - reboots the device, optionally into the bootloader or recovery program
adb reboot-bootloader - reboots the device into the bootloader

not yet , this is my own working phone , I am testing adb with it , that other phone is for my friend and it is not here currently.
even I found this link : http://zidroid.com/boot-android-devices-to-download-fastboot-recovery-mode-using-adb/
adb reboot download
adb reboot-bootloader
all of them reboot the phone normally ! there must be something related to cyanogemod , as *#0*# does not work too.
edit : this works :
adb reboot recovery
reboots the phone into cyanogen recovery. again in that recovery there is an option to reboot the phone to boot loader , when I select it , the device reboots normally into android.

Bootloader Loads Kernel then Kernel Loads the OS that is how it works
I don't not much about download mode ( i didn't read about it )
But since we don't see Samsung galaxy grand duos while booting to download i'll assume that we don't boot the bootloader to go to download mode
and that is why we can't boot to it with adb
( THAT IS AN ASSUMPTION ONLY, I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT DOWNLOAD MODE )

there must be something with this ( Pawitp ) grand rom I think, because here is another samsung galacy ace2 , which had android 2.1 , and I upgraded it to cyanogenmode 4.4.4 , I tested that phone now ,
abd reboot-bootloader : rebooted device normally.
but adb reboot download : rebooted device to download (odin) mode. like holding "vol down+power+home buttons" and the command and my adb installation is working fine.
adb reboot recovery : rebooted this phone to cwm-based recovery v6.0.5.0 . so the problem is cyanogenmod recovery that I have on my own grand.
which is installed automatically by using ( update recovery ) option. when it downloaded the update , it downloaded recovery too.

As I remember, RVR did tell something about our device that won't allow to use any shortcut/reboot bootloader/download from recovery. That's why he removed the button from reboot option. Not only from recovery, I've tried several app that trigger the reboot option, none of it works, it will only reboot normally back into system.
And as I remember, I did successfully reboot to dload mode using "adb reboot bootloader" command while on stock TW 4.2.2 ROM. But can't comment on any custom ROM as I never tried yet.
RVR did built the official TWRP for our grand.

that was not a good decision he made
here is another solution i found : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYvt2gLf3vA
bringing back the softkeys to it like the tablet and devices that do not have physical buttons. like some models of Acer tablets.
I`ll try this when I get access to that malfunctioning phone. and will let you know of the result. thanks.

Actually, it is, as the button won't work so no use of it.
Are we talking about reboot download mode or softkey? If softkey is the problem, you just need to add this line in build.prop.
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

the hardware home button is not returning any codes , so I thought to show software keys ( the way u also said ) so that I can hold the 3 buttons ( home + vol down+power ) to get to odin download mode , to reflash original 4.2.2 to see if home button comes back alive or not.
I think I should use triangle away first.

The softkey won't work for 3 button combo booting. Try search USB Jig thread. Its the best bet for you at the moment.
Triangle away is a good idea.

I haven't seen the local mobile stores sell this usb jig thing , I may buy the parts and create one myself . does it boot to download ( odin ) mode or it will go to recovery mode?
