Need help installing custom recovery on LG Nitro

I have had multiple issues with my phone in the past. Even sent it back to LG twice. Although I found a way to install the rooted 4.0.4 rom onto my phone, I still cannot install a custom recovery onto my phone any longer. I've tried using Rom manager to do so and all I get is

with the LG logo on screen. For me to restart phone, I have to take out battery and powerup again. I also tried to flash recovery via ADB but ended up with the same message. Does anyone have any ideas or is my recovery on my phone permanently broken??

You need to start from the beginning, play with the unbricking process again.

Start the unbricking process:
1-successfully install the original stock Korean rom listed in the guide.
2-successfully root that using the tools provided in the guide.
3-after your positive you have root, install rom manager from the market and use it to install cwm recovery.
4-after that try to boot into recovery using rom manager, if it's successful, flash desired rom from there....if not, post back the results

just afraid I gey stuck again and have to send back to LG

Essentially, you already are stuck without a recovery and security errors. There are very, very few reasons you should need to send the phone to LG because they essentially do the same thing the unbricking guide does, I believe....

Have you tried downloading a recovery and flashing it in Fastboot mode with this command?
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Are you saying I'm in fastboot mode then? Will ADB work so I can run that command?

I am trying this too- having the same problems getting out of the ICS leak (the unbrick process is crapping out on me saying "fatal error")
I am trying the recovery image via fastboot flash - i am using the recovery.img from the Nitro Easy Unbrick instructions...
Just stuck on "waiting for device" in adb...
Any ideas?

Simply use fastboot http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=602988&d=1305975649
and type "fastboot erase recovery"
That should get things back to normal then you can use ROM MANAGER from playstore to get CWM recovey

LG's ICS has a locked bootloader, the only way CWM can be installed is to replace the locked bootloader with an unlocked one. I have discovered a way to do it without using the unbricking guide with a simple batch file. Are you interested?

[Q] F180L - deleted all firmware, system, data. stuck on bootlock

Please help, I accidentally deleted system, firmware, data and sdcard and now stuck on bootlock keeps rebooting and possibly soft bricked?
Status: fastboot, unlocked, secureboot, CWRM recovery
I can still access fastboot, recovery and download mode. + I have backup on my desktop but I can't put it back - device not found - won't recognize usb storage, how can I adb push if device can't be detected?
Tried updating again with different firmwares but I always receive error phone disconnected etc, tried reattaching again still same problem persists.
Tried tinybin + lgnpst but I get error failed switching to diag mode, but I don't think I need to because I can access recovery mode and download mode anyway but I can't access internal sd card so I
I was trying to update the firmware but it wouldn't work, tried over 30 times... on different operating systems, windows 8, windows 7, and windows SP3 via virtual machines. tried kdz updater and uptest from flashtool with different kdz firmwares. so I tried doing a full factory reset, still wouldn't flash so I tried deleting the all mounted folders on CWRM recovery mode and now stuck on bootlock.
Possibly driver problems? I think I can push files with adb sideload but it can't detect my device or I'm doing it wrong... sorry I'm new to this adb thingy.
Anyone?
Many thanks for reading...

hey I did what you told me to do, and TWRP now works. Now what? it says no OS installed on reboot menu. Removable disk is shown but cannot be accessed. What do I do now?? Thx again!
Recap, device now gets detected by adb and fastboot, but I don't think I can restore the backup I made using CWRM, and when I tried to make a backup using TWRP and then went to restore it shows nothing but if I check file manager it's there.
Partitions on TWRP
Boot 24MB
Recovery 24MB
System 34MB
Data 0MB
Cache 13MB
EFS 2MB
I have backup for CWRM 1.6GB in size with system.ext4, data.ext4, nandroid, recovery and boot img. SBF backup made from rom manager and efs backup.
What to do now?
adb push the 1.6GB backup then install CWRM then restore it?
flash custom rom like CM 10.2 - 4.3 and gapps 4.3?
I don' want to turn my soft brick into hard brick.

Yee because it is in CWM format that's why.. adb push the ur backup using twrp.. replace twrp with cwm and restore or if not just flash a stock modded rom.. CWM has issues with adb drivers.

Hey I tried some from android development subforum, still doesn't work its either stuck on google loading screen or bootlock so I can't use my CWMR backup. Tried like 5 different versions from different sources.
Tried installing CM + gapps but I keep getting "kernel crash error". It keeps crashing after 30 seconds or 3min but I managed to get it working nonetheless.
I used "cm-10.1.3-e975" and "pa_gapps-full-4.2-20130710-signed"
What exact version did you use? Any specific custom rom that would help me boot properly?
Yay! not soft bricked anymore just crashes a lot...

Finally fixed it. flashed CM 10.2 and gapps. only problem is I lost my imei and I have no modem and signal... To get my imei back, if I remember correctly I need to flash my efs backup? is it safe?
Do I need to flash both baseband or modem? which one? both and which is first??
Three files I found and saved just in case something like this happens...
cwm-lgog_f180l_modem.zip
F180L-Baseband.zip
F180LtoE975_BB.zip

ADB driver for lg optimus g
where can I get the ADB drivers? and where do I load them to the computer or phone? I cant access my internal storage...I've managed to restore my stock rom coming from KK carbon unofficial...but now my phone cant be acessessed.Help me sir,still a greenhorn in this

Cant boot into recovery

Hey guys, new to the forum and am looking for some guidance here. I've had my LGOG going great with CM11 and one day I put it on the charger when the battery got down to 1%. The next morning I grabbed my phone and it was off and refused to turn on. I was able to get it on by holding volume up + power and plugging it into a charger or PC but only when it was plugged in. I replaced the battery already to rule that part out. So now i've followed this guide and everything went fine,I flashed Teenybin SBLunlockhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230106. Only thing is for some reason i cannot boot into recovery mode, fastboot and download mode work fine but when i choose recovery from fastboot the phone shows a google logo and a small lock on the bottom of the screen and then turns off and show's the charging icon. I've been at it for hours and cannot get into recovery to flash a new rom.
My question for yall is am I wasting my time with this? I'm still not convinced that this is not a hardware failure since nothing on the phone works unless plugged into power. Any thoughts would help a ton otherwise i'll have to just cough up the cash for a new one. Thanks in advance guys.

Your battery was probably fine so I would keep it around. That just seems to happen sometimes.
The recovery that teenybins installs is not CM11 compatable. So you need to install a KK recovery, or ADB sideload a Stockish ROM.
For ADB sideload to install a Stockish Rom go here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36270473
To install a recovery through fastboot, DL it from here. http://downloads.codefi.re/shelnutt2/freegee/LG-LS970/ These are for KK
And to install it using fastboot.
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You may need to do a factory reset to get it to boot.

Forgot to tell ya, just pull the recovery image from the zip and use it with fastboot.

Thanks for the reply, this helped me get along with ADB and SDK but i'm still not clear on it. I've got the recovery image needed and ADB running but not sure how to flash the recovery image to the phone. I tried following the guide in the link you provided but it wants you to get into recovery mode on the phone and enable ADB mode but I cant get into my recovery on the phone. Problem. Again though thanks for you help, much appreciated. This learning process brings me back to my days of modding the old Xbox.
So just thinking about your last post, did you recommend installing a stock rom first and then try to install the new recovery image? I am able to put the phone into download mode and i've used LGNPST to push a full stock ZVB rom to it, seemed to work but I didnt know if that was the right way to go and flashed the Teenybin SBL unlock again.

You said you had fastboot. So you can use fastboot to load the kk recovery using those commands. If unsure just google it. Lots of info on fastboot.
As for sideload that was just to get a stock ROM on your SD.
If you lgnpst zvb then your phone should boot up and needs to update to zvc before you do anything else.
But if you flashed teenybins then you should have recovery and be able to flash the kk recovery. Power+ vol up gets recovery. Dn twice on vol button, then power gets you to recovery.
Check the FAQ and root guide. All this info is in there if it's confusing.

I got ya, so I'm making sense of it all after a bit and I have more info if it helps. I've been able to get ZVB on there (via LGNPST) and i'll update to ZV9 just in case yet no matter what i do i cannot get recovery to boot. I get into fastboot and choose Recovery ( locked and unlocked) but when i hit the power button to choose recovery I get nothing, it shuts down. I'll keep at it and give a progress report if I make any.
UPDATE: Ok so I can only access (on phone) Fastboot when i flash one of the Teenybin files. The stock ZV9 and ZVB just show me the LG logo and go back to the battery icon. So, I flashed teenybin SBL unlock again got the phone into fastboot. I opened a terminal on my PC with ADB running and my phone in Fastboot connected to my PC (LG Drivers installed). When i choose adb sideload recovery.img and it says "device not found". Still working on it but havent gotten past this yet.
Im still wondering if there is hardware failure since I flashed ZVB and the phone still will not boot up period unless it's connected to PC/charger.

Do this then. Grab the zvc bin from the root guide. That is the most current and it has the right modem. Zvb and zv9 have the wrong modem.
Also it sounds like you have stock recovery. Which you will if your using zv? bins.
Then after using zvc bin, use teeny bin. That'll get you to twrp recovery. In twrp flash the kk recovery and you should be good to go.

Gave it a shot, flashed ZVC and then after that did Teenybin SBL unlock and same thing. I get it into fastboot, choose recovery and then the phone show's a google logo with alittle lock on the bottom and then goes to black screen then to charging icon. :silly: I'll keep at it.
Update, a friend gave me some help and I was able to flash the recovery image you linked to me via ADB but still no change in the phone. On teenybin in fastboot, select recovery and still get the same google logo and small lock, then goes to power screen.
Haha, seems you've been down this road before. Found this while searching around, I'm giong to try the steps in the last two post's of the thread. Thanks for the help Engine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535874&page=3
UPDATE: unfortunately no change, left the phone on the charger for a few hours but still stuck with no usable recovery mode and phone only responds while plugged in. Think i'll chalk this up to some type of hardware failure.

Will your phone even boot to the stock ROM? If it does, try installing Quickboot from the PlayStore. See if that'll get you into recovery.
I can't remember if it's in the root guide or the FAQ, but I posted another option for a battery issue like yours. Try it and see if it'll do more.
There's some commands that'll wipe through adb. I'll see if I can find them.

There's something we're missing here, so lets start at the beginning
LGNPST ZVC again. This SHOULD get you going.
Now you will have stock recovery. To enter stock recovery, press vol down+power The LG logo will come on, then the capacitive lights. Immediately let go when the capacitive lights turn on. It takes a few seconds to work. And maybe a few tries to get it.
IF that all happens, then in stock recovery, do a Factory reset. IT WILL WIPE YOUR SD/INTERNAL STORAGE!!
Now your phone should boot up to stock ROM.
If that doesn't work, go to ADB and issue these:
adb shell
"dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/cache"
adb shell
"dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata"
These will zero out /cache and /data
Reboot your phone and it should boot up
If not, you may need to LGNPST ZVC one more time and you should be good to go
If no dice again, you might need to try a battery pull, which you should know seeing as how you replaced the battery.
That's about all I got....you could also try getting on the irc and see if someone there has more idea's
Good luck! :fingers-crossed:
Edit: I forgot to tell you that in Stock recovery, use the capacitive menu key to select. The Power button doesn't do it in Stock recovery. Menu is the bottom right of the display and I don't think it's lit, but I'm not sure.

Thank you sir, i'll give this a shot tonight when i get back home. I'll keep my fingers crossed but i've located another LGOG on Craigslist for 80$, might not be able to pass up that deal.
Update: still no go, I agree there is something missing here. When i flash ZVC all goes like it should but the phone still just flatout wont do anything unless on external power. I went ahead and did a battery pull but no change. It's like we're doing everything correctly here but it wont let us past fastboot or download mode. Either it's software or this thing may have fried. I'm going to bring it to a friend here in town and see what he can do, he's a guru in this department but I wanted to figure this out on my own. If we get this back up and running I will for sure update this thread, hopefully it can help some folks out there. Thanks again for the help Engine, I wont give up until i know exactly what happened and i'll pass it along.

[Q] Keep booting into recovery after updating stock ROM

Hi
I have a rooted LG G2 with TWRP installed for recovery. Today I had a new update from LG and I chose for it to be installed. After the phone rebooted it ended up in TWRP. I tried rebooting and it keeps going back to recovery.
I cannot find where the LG update file is to run it manually throught TWRP (assuming it's possible).
Can someone please let me know where there update file is located? Or, how can I get my phone to boot normally.
Thank you in advance,

1st, NeVeR take an OEM uodate when rooted, especially with custom recovery. Get LGFlash tools, google it and follow instructions, thern go HERE
and get the ZVC .tot and .dll files and flash back stock. might head into the IRC channel #lg-g2 and get more help.

Had to enter a line of code into TWRP on the GF's phone this mornign after she OTA'd. Don't OTA if rooted kiddies!
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota Then Enter, reboot to system. Enjoy

TOT
Tot, after the mistake of taking update.

What Happened?

i believe i had the optimus rom for the l2 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590234 ), and twrp 2.7 recovery. Well on my phone there was an update option (OTA system update thing.) I clicked on it and it went to recovery now my phone wont boot into a rom...

Never take an Ota update with a custom recovery. Hopefully, you can boot into recovery and flash a new rom.

i tried that and it keeps going back to recovery

Weird, every other phone i usually except the factory update so it will quit trying to warn me every 5 seconds... Seems to me you should be able to do what you want from recovery but guess that isn't the case, can't boot any roms/recoveries?
