i dont see a modem file in the backup though there is recovery and boot.img files. let me know where i can find the modem file .
someone please help,so that we can also enjoy the custom roms.
I don't know if this is the right way, and I haven't tested it yet, but I took a look into the updater-script of the E980-MODEM-BM9615A-CWM.zip, and there is this line:
Code:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "dd", "if=/tmp/modem.img", "of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem");
On my stock E986 ROM I executed the command:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem of=/storage/external_SD/modem.img
now I have a 64MB modem.img, but I don't know if it would work, because I don't have CWM/TWRP yet.
Here is what i found ===========
How to extract the modem:-
For extracting the modem you need to be rooted (If you are not or want to know how go here)
Using ADB (Go here if you want to know how to set up ADB)
Connect your phone to you PC (Please ensure that ADB debugging option is checked in Developer Options)
Type
Code:
adb devices
You will get something like this:
Code:
List of devices attached
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX device
It shows your device is connected via ADB
Type
Code:
adb shell
You will get a output like this:
Code:
C:\adb>adb shell
[email protected]:/ $
Type
Code:
su
You will get:
Code:
su
[email protected]:/ #
(Those who are using Terminal Emulator can start from this step)
Type
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 of=/sdcard/modem.bin bs=4096
You will get
Code:
[email protected]:/ # dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 of=/sdcard/modem.bin bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 of=/sdcard/modem.bin bs=4096

[email protected]:/ #
Your modem.bin file is copied to the root of your sdcard, copy it to your PC and upload it to the file hosting site of your choice
====================
Thinking of extracting the file like this and then downloading the E980-MODEM-BM9615A-CWM.zip, replacing tat modem.bin wit my modem.bin, zipping it back n running through cwm, shd work ideally...
any opinions....
where is this file E980-MODEM-BM9615A-CWM.zip
I found it in the CM10.1 Thread, here is the link: http://downloads.codefi.re/madmack/GPRO/CM10_1/modem
i extracted my modem.img file using dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem of=/storage/external_SD/modem.img,
replaced the modem.img file in E980-MODEM-BM9615A-CWM.zip with my file and closed the zip.
installed the cm-10.2-20130903-UNOFFICIAL-geefhd_att_us.zip , then installed the E980-MODEM-BM9615A-CWM.zip zip. when i did a reboot, my phone is stuck on LG logo .

We're on the same boat my friend! I hope to see developer support for the e988 version because this version is the least supported. The CyanFox Rom can be installed on e988 but it will leave the phone useless since no flashable e988 modem is available, it will leave the phone with no network. In short, the rom can be installed, everything works except for the network signal.

actually the developer of CM10.2 @madmack told me that the file you flash doesn't touch the modem.img so I think you don't have to flash the modem file
also another member using F240L flased CM10.2 and other AOSP ROMs and told me that they are working fine and he didn't need to flash modem after it and got signal+data
a member in CM10.2 thread posted that it is good idea to also wipe your internal SD card as well when moving to an AOSP ROM for the first time and for updates just wipe cache/dalvik
hope this info helps:angel:

So, wiping internal SD card thru recovery won't affect if I go back to restore with my backup? Stated otherwise, shall I be able to restore my backup even if I wipe my internal SD? Shed a light on this my friend, pls.

I rooted my E98810a, installed the recovery meant for the E988 KH version ,it went fine. But whenver i install any ROm (tired CM10.1, 10.2, Slim beans), i get the secure boot error invalid certificate message at LG logo and it hangs there.
So what u are saying is when u instaled CyanFox Rom, ur phone got booted properly ?? what is the model u have E98810a ?? what did u use to install recovery ?

E98810b, I think it's an asian version. I haven't tried installing custom roms yet. A user of CyanFox claimed that it can be installed on e988 version, everything works fine except for the network signal. So, I believe it was for the lack of e988 modem that causes network failure.
Another e988(HK version) user also installed CM 10.1 rom for e980, he claimed to have it working on his e988. I just PM'd him for confirmation and I'm still waiting for his reply. Judging from your posts thru out the threads, it seems that you're problem is your recovery. You get entangled with bootloops because your recovery is not lokified. To install customs roms, you have to be lokified. And in your case, I believe you're not.
You should have your recovery installed thru the FreeGee app, use its CWM instead of TWRP as this has some issues. Mine is rooted and my CWM recovery is lokified thru FreeGee app. I'm still waiting for the reply of the user that I mentioned. Once he confirms, I'll try to install a custom rom. I'll keep you updated.
My recovery is working fine, i installed the custom kernel too in the development thread. It works fine.Its only when i install custom roms i get the secure boot error.
i think its something in the roms that touching the modem, boot image,etc.

Does your recovery lokified? If not, then you cannot boot into a custom rom. You should use the FreeGee app in installing your recovery because I think it's the easiest way to get you lokified, and I don't know of any other way of being lokified except thru FreeGee app.
Anyway, I was able to flash CM 10.1 earlier. It booted up well and everything works fine EXCEPT for the following:
1. Video recorder;
2. Wifi Connection;
3. Notifications; and
4. Some other CM features.
And lastly, do not attempt to flash an e988 modem over an e988 version as it seems to produce a bigger problem even if you flash a stock rom.
Just a tip, let's just wait for custom roms intended for e988
The FreeGee recovery does not work for me. My phone hangs with the secure boot message. what is the version of your model E98810a?
My recovery is lokified. i used the CMW zip meant for E988 from this thread

I need help! I own an LG OGP E988 India based. I had rooted it and installed cwm on it. I have used the cwm and it works. Like a fool, i had got a notification that I have an update, which i downloaded and tried to install. But as i had cwm, it didnt work. And now it only boots to CWM.
Tried methods to repair:
1. Restore backup from CWM - didn't work. No files copy to /system checked using AROMA file manager in CWM
2. Flashed another ROM (eg. VANIR) - didn't work. Same files not copied to /system it only shows an empty bin folder.
3. Download .kdz for E988 but the support tool stops with an error saying battery not fully charged. I have charged it for the whole day.
4. Tried Factory reset by holding vol down+ power. didnt work
5. Thought of trying to use TOT and DLL file, found DLL for E988 but not TOT file.
Please help me to repair my phone without sending it to LG.
Phone can boot into CWM and phone can enter Dowload mode.

If phone can enter download mode the LG Tool will help you. But before you do that switch off phone and pull out battery and re-insert the battery and connect to charger without switching on the device and try LG Tool. If this fails u can flash TWRP hacked recovery from madmack. I'll give you the link if u need. U can flash Vanir ROM without any problems using that recovery.

You mean, that madmack's recovery would work on my E988? i thought it was only for E980
And I have tried every method to get past that battery problem, nothing seems to be working. The LG tool gets stuck at an error saying that there is a battery isn't enough and closes down.

Yeah! Flash this link: http://d-h.st/HNa Link credits: @ballshanglow
First time the touch in recovery wont work so u have to force switch off by removing the battery. Enter recovery using 3 button combo: Vol up+home+power to boot into recovery back. Touch works second time and i recommend u to flash Vanir ROM and also flash E988 baseband if u don't get the network signal after booting up the ROM.
Good luck :good:

Ok here is what i found. When I flash the vanir ROM, the files are being copied to system, after that i find all files to be there in system but when i reboot to system using recovery, it boots back into recovery and system is empty with just one empty folder call bin.

Did you wipe everything? data, dalvik, cache, system and internal storage? put the zip in external and wipe everything else. If its not helping then it may be bootloader related issue.
And u used freegee to bypass bootloader before right!??

Solution to this for me was somehow flash anything stupid such that phone doesn't boot and I gave it to LG and within 5 mins they flashed new firmware. I did it under warranty.
Solution to this for you is find the TOT and DLL file for your phone model (I think its available). Then use google how to flash TOT file. If not, PM me right now exams going on so can't exactly help with links. Give me two days and ill help you step by step with the solution.

In order to install cwm at the first time i used freegee app. There was a function to backup some files (recovery files i think) to dropbox. Well the 5 files i have pushed with shell help were these files. I can upload them but i think it's unique for each phone.
For the information, after this fix, the custom rom works correctly, but my phone is still rooted and i still can't use lg flashtool (same "low battery" problem).

I have bought a OnePlus One, hence never visited G Pro threads.
I found out that there might not be a solution until we get the TOT file for the LGE988 firmware.
But this is the solution i followed:
1. Took a recovery.zip and replaced the recovery.img file with a text file renamed 'recovery.zip'. What this did was, make a fake recovery.zip which will surely NOT work.
2. I flashed this zip. Now this makes my recovery invalid and my recovery never loads and only thing which boots is fastboot.
3. I now took the phone to LG Service centre and asked them to reflash the software which they in-hesitantly did. They did ask me if I rooted my phone, I said "What is that? Never heard of it". I explained him that while the update was going on, this problem occurred.
4. Phone is as good as new. Never will I make the same mistake so shifted from to a CUSTOM ROM.
Cons:
Lost all data on Phone Memory. I had a backup before.

Did you update to 4.4.2?
Besacuse If you update the bootloader are experiencing the same problem as many of us.
You are speaking about scripts at boot. But you did not refer to the updater script that actually flashed the Rom. Also what Rom are you trying to flash ? What is your current bootloader and Recovery ?

Hi Everyone,
Please help me if anyone have the stock recovery image file for lu 6200 or a method to extract the stock recovery from the phone for flashing the recoveryfile only to get back to stock recovery instead of flashing the whole phone to stock and doing all the setup and configurations.
I searched everywhere but not found any yet for 6200

u have to do flashing to load lg bootloader and with that bootloader installed u cant use cmw or modified rom. after alot of search, i have not found a way to boot into stock recovery once cmw is installed. u can instal rom mananger from playstore if ur phone is rooted than make a back up of ur rom on sd card plus all cmw recoveries provide backup but i found twrp recovery much better as it provide better ui and more functionality

Thanks I will try the Rom Manager to see if it can backup the original bootloader and the recovery to flash it later instead of flashing the whole kdz and setup everything again

I tried the rom manager but it can't extract the default recovery. However what I get now by searching for many hours that what I want is dumping the stock recovery and stock bootloader and combining into single .img file i.e bootl.img and recovery.img that I able to push back furing the normal running to get the stock recovery back and the bootloader without the ICE Engineer version showing after I flash the custom rom
twrp have the better ui but the one I found for 6200 have some problems I not remember but it had some issue mounting the system for wipe I think so I use the CMW instead both are good and perform the required function I suppose

First of all I must say that I take no credit for this recovery whatsoever.
It is a modified TWRP v2.8.1.0 that is posted by @hoangnova over at lgviet.com - Link:http://lgviet.com/forum/threads/lg-g-pro-f240lsk-e988-e980-twrp-recovery-2-8-1-0.33587/
We are now in the early developmental stages of Android L and the last version of TWRP that I could locate here at XDA for the E980 was v2.6xx. I feel that we have a need for the latest version of this recovery now that we are transitioning over to Lollipop. With that said, the following is copied straight from his post over at that site.
TWRP Recovery SELinux support only for the rom install or extract img style set_metadata.
- Works well on all the GPRO and GK: E988, E980, and F220K F240LSK.
- Full SELinux support: That means you have can flash the rom CM 4.4, 5.0 or higher (set_metadata).
- USB-OTG Support
- Support for MTP - can copy the data directly to your phone when you are in Recovery
- Support screenshot of Recovery [hold Power + volume controls]
- Supports backup IMEI (EFS)
- Support Hard reset using hardware keys: Hold the Volume Down + Home and resources.
- Can operate on both 4.1.2 and 4.4.2 (even 5.0)
Installation: The first download listed is a flashable ZIP file that can be flashed through whatever recovery you have installed now. Not recommended if your are running a stock based ROM as it causes a "boot certification error" after flashing. Only use the flashable .zip file if you are already running a custom ROM based on CM source.
For those of you that are running a stock based ROM, please use Flashify to flash any of the three .IMG files that are listed below. Descriptions are in the download links.
Note: If you are running a custom ROM that is based on CM source, yet want to use one of the themed versions below, it is safe to use Flashify to install any of the recovery .IMG files below to your device.
All devs, please feel free to use this as a building block to obtain a reliable TWRP 2.8.1.0 recovery for our E980 device.
UPDATE 12/24/2014: Attachment downloads have been removed and all links are now directed to my 4Shared storage. The account has a 3GB per day / 30GB per month limit so I am hoping that it will be satisfactory for our download needs. If anyone would like to set up a mirror, please feel free to do so and PM me with links that I can add to this post.
UPDATE 12/24/2014 - Part 2: This version of TWRP for our G Pro devices now supports SD card in recovery mode!
Many thanks to @soralz , @culot and @hoangnova for delving into the code and providing us with this excellent recovery for our G Pro devices!
All of the above is assuming that your device has already been rooted and a custom recovery installed via the FreeGee method first. Do not flash anything posted in this thread before obtaining root and installing a custom recovery first!

Awesome! Thanks!
Just wondering... I was using it for a while and does work great. Then, tried to get cyan delta up and running with it today. It seemed to give an error. I then tried it with philz and worked fine.
Is anyone using the two together and experiencing it, or just me?
@hoangnova - Can you shed some light as to why flashing BlissPop v1.1 with this recovery would fail?
By the way, thank you for a recovery that might possibly be modified to work with our device! It seems that it just needs a few bugs ironed out to be fully functional with the E980 for AT&T.
Thanks

Modified TWRP 2.8.1.0 to E980
Hi guys, I am using the TWRP a while ago and realise this TWRP almost can't flash any ROM on it for ex. CM11 Nightlies. So I made some modifications to this recovery using simple Android Kitchen. By editing it's default.prop. This recovery is simply taken from f310lr (which preventing us from flashing other ROM because it's a LG GX!) more info.
Summary of changes can refer attachments below.
Working:
Everything, except can't mount External SD Card, now you can flash like a boss.
Download
Flashable zip, with the modified recovery and another one is simply the *.img file. Flash with Flashify or similar app.
Extra, TWRP Materialised theme.
It has been modded to fit my taste for welcoming Lollipop, if you want the TWRP theme simply place it to /sdcard/TWRP/theme/ui.zip.
Hopefully we can get the latest version of twrp going. From the change log it looks like the latest has fuller 5.0 features.

Verified by yours truly. I flashed this recovery and used it to flash BlissPop v1.3 with no problems whatsoever. Now if only we can get someone that knows their beans to fix the problem with external SD not mounting.

From a lengthy dissection of its innards, it looks like it was cobbled together mainly from parts of Nexus 5 and G2 recovery stuffs, and isn't even trying to load the external_sd. There also seems to be several other discrepancies, where its targeting a Nexus 5 or G2, when it should be targeting the almighty G Pro.
Take a look at the '/etc/twrp.fstab' -- it's missing '/external_sd vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /dev/block/mmcblk1 flags=display="Micro SDcard";storage;wipeingui;removable', which I think may be a culprit in the lack of SD.
I've taken my undisciplined hand at fixing these issues, but I can never seem to repack the goddamn thing properly. I got sad skillz.
EDIT: I just noticed when you 'unpackbootimg' it provides all the info to repack properly. Friggin' duh, yo. Testing time! *crosses fingers and legs and black cats*

Okay, got it:
- Open ADB shell while in OP's TWRP 2.8:
Code:
mount -t /system /dev/block/mmcblk0p23
mkdir /external_sd
echo "/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /external_sd vfat rw" >> /etc/fstab
mount -t /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /external_sd
Now the microSD is mounted at '/external_sd'. It does not show up on your computer when you enable MTP though; and next time recovery loads, those changes will be gone, so you have to do it all over again -- that is until someone bakes a fixed twrp.fstab into a recovery.img and/or flashable zip (my attempts so far go bootloops at the LG logo, every time).

This Omnirom TWRP Recovery and this guide should do fine. You'll have to tinker in the e980 stuff though. You can use the configuration files from OP's version to start with, and then make proper wtih e980 device specifics. This TWRP repo for a Japanese version of the phone holds some solid leads.
It compiled fine for me early this morning, but would not boot. But! After spending many hours since then learning how it really works, I'm certain when I take another crack at it tomorrow that it will be simple to get working. So close, yet so burned out for today.
Hi. I have a weird issue. I have a D855 phone which is running on kitkat v10n. I thought of Upgrading it to official 5.0 or 6.0 firmware and decided to check for the option software update in my phone. But I didn't find any. So i thought of installing TWRP recovery to my phone. and I flashed through flashify and cant boot into recovery menu but i can see fastboot menu started and some other 2,3 lines at the top left corner of the phone. I cant even reset the phone also as doing that going into same fastboot menu but when i pull the battery and place it it is booting.
The real thing starts from here. I want to check whats wrong with my phone and found that actually my phone motherboard is LS990.Not D855. So I came to know that as i wrong flashed the recovery, I am getting fastboot mode. So can I flash tot file directly now or not? if doing so will it result in hard/soft brick or in boot loop? Please help me to upgrade from kitkat to lollipop without any damage to my phone. Expecting a resolution from you. Thank u..
Can you still boot into download mode or not?
You did not see the upgrade because either your sd card is full or too small for update to fit. Happened to me once. When you sort this up, make some room on your sd card and then let the OTA do the thing.

If you can boot into download, it would be possible to flash kdz. Just you must find the right one for your phone!!
Edit: you will have to use LG flash tool. LGUP is only for D855.

no.for ls990 there is no kdz i think so.only tot and dll files.but i am doubtful in flashing anything before fixing the fastboot menu as i could brick my device if anything wrong happens..
Ufff.
This is the hard way but at least first you check your memory for errors, and somewhere in the text it clearly says that fastboot is a no-go.
http://open-freax.fr/guide-unbrick-your-lg-g3/
I personally would go with a download mode and tot files, AND DISBLED ALL THE THINGS THAT WANT TO KILL PROCESSES. like antiviruses, win-defender etc.
Trust me, I know how you feel, maybe some more ideas drop into the thread.

So lets explain few things first. You can safely flash tot files via download mode. Tot file contains your stock recovery partition as well. So everything will be flashed to stock. So if you find tot file to flash for your model fell free to flash it.
Instead what I would suggest is for you to flash TWRP, and after that flashing Lollipop zip with TWRP.
Here is how:
You download TWRP zip for LS990 from here if you are sure that's your model:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347763136
then you extract recovery.img file from the zip,
then to flash it either use flashify or these adb commands:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
Ofc if you use these exact adb commands you need to place recovery.img to root of your /sdcard.
So now you confirm that you have a working TWRP. Try to boot into it.
If it succeeds you have Sprint Lollipop files provided here:
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G3/LS990/stock_partitions/ZVA
You only need these files: system.img, boot.img, modem.img, rpm.img, tz.img
IMPORTANT: boot.img you download from here not from the link above:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3165683&d=1423941988
After downloading them and placing them in root of sdcard, boot to TWRP open terminal and write these:
dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system
dd if=/sdcard/zv8_boot_fixed.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot
dd if=/sdcard/modem.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem
dd if=/sdcard/rpm.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/rpm
dd if=/sdcard/tz.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/tz
That's it.
Credit for these files goes to the OP of this thread @autoprime

So now you confirm that you have a working TWRP. Try to boot into it.
If it succeeds you have Sprint Lollipop files provided here:
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G3/LS990/stock_partitions/ZVA
You only need these files: system.img, boot.img, modem.img, rpm.img, tz.img
IMPORTANT: boot.img you download from here not from the link above:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3165683&d=1423941988
After downloading them and placing them in root of sdcard, boot to TWRP open terminal and write these:
dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system
dd if=/sdcard/zv8_boot_fixed.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot
dd if=/sdcard/modem.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem
dd if=/sdcard/rpm.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/rpm
dd if=/sdcard/tz.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/tz
That's it.
Credit for these files goes to the OP of this thread @autoprime

I assumed that system.img was provided in links above. It isn't.
So here:
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G3/LS990/stock_partitions/ZVB/
Download zips only. Flash them, no need to use dd command. It is prerooted Lollipop. Again credits to @autoprime.
And perhaps if you would like to check Marsmallow here's a thread:

Thanks a lot. I checked the marshmallow post. i found that it has some issues. Am i right?? Data is no working and some call issues also. Is there any other Marshmallow stock feel rom??
so as you said to flash, flashing system.zip and modem .zip is enough?? What about boot.img,tz.img and rpm.img?

I would wait for MM to settle a bit, some guys have icons problem, some LTE, some stuff is downgraded to work properly. How ever you go, you will not get clean MM. Only if you do not want root, and that is a no-no for me.

You checked Marsmallow post, that's how it is. I have d855 so I have official Marsmallow, cant tell you about that port. You can always test it if you wish then revert back.
Yes flash zips only. All those partitions are provided in them (LG-LS990ZVB-Flashable.Modem.RPM.TZ.zip; LG-LS990ZVB-Flashable.System.Boot.zip).

I flashed it but after booting android process is force closing for every 5 seconds and its showing the same message. So I went into recovery menu, wiped dalvik cache and cache,data and system and made a factory reset again and rebooted it. But my phone stuck on LG logo only. Now i can't even enter into TWRP Recovery . What to do?? Flashing tot is only the solution? I can go into download mode..
Edit: I tried going to TWRP manually. First I tried by going to recovery mode by watching a video showing holding volume down+power button and release after the LG logo is seen and within half second again should hold back. That didn't work for me. I only holded volume down+power button untill I see "Recovery mode loading" screen and after 2 seconds it taken me to TWRP. I successfully re-flashed back the zip files again. Thanks for your help. but i am getting invalid sim and showing hands free activation on my phone.. So should I need to unlock it?? now big trouble with the sim problem.Can u provide any solution??
Edit 2: Even this I solved myself.. thanks a lot.Hitting thanks button

Troublesome. I have no knowledge what "hands free activation" is. I belive it's something connected with Sprint?
As for the invalid SIM, was your phone SIM locked? Where did you buy it and why did it even have d855 system flashed onto it if its ls990?
Can you make calls and have you made a backup of your old system in TWRP before flashing?

I followed one link and replaced some files and got the signal back. But I am unable to access data in my phone. also in settings i am seeing activate this device. I disabled hands free activation thing which is very annoying. But flashing any other lollipop rom, can I use data in my phone? Can you suggest any best lollipop rom like cloudy or other than cloudy?
