save me pls !!! again - LG Optimus G Pro

ok, so i followed this procedure to flash a intenational ROM in my F240L
"Root the phone: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bzen...it?usp=sharing - > extract archive and run Root.bat and follow the instructions from there.
Install FREEGEE off Android Marked, install and run it. It will unlock your bootloader and istall CWM or TWRP recovery.
Flash this ROM in recovery (do not reboot): http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2419802
Flah the F240l Kernel from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2363330"
After all these steps everything was ok.
But i decided to factory reset to try to solve a small bug (network sharing wasnt working).
After the factory reset it failed to boot, it goes straith to CWM recovery mode.
Problem is CWM fails to find a backuo or zip in the exeternal SCcard. I checked the sd card and the back up is there.
Can someone help?
Thx a lot

How do we run this from CM10 with CWM? You said any rooted FW would do. Should I Factory reset inside CWM and reboot? Then follow the steps?
I almost want to try it... however I would prefer if the instructions were a bit clearer. When flashing anything to my phone I want to be completely clear that I am doing the right steps. Maybe I am just stupid and don't understand. lol

same question !
i am also running cm10 !
so can we factory reset from cwm ?
I'm not seeing how this will work... Why do I have to go to v18f? When we install v20c, the nature of the process is wiping the phone first. You can't not do that.
Also, if the phone is stuck in the AT&T logo, adb is not available.
I looked at the script and it is the same as the one in my signature only split into 2 files.
I will wait for the OP to upload a pre-rooted rom.

[E988]Booting to CWM only

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:

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.

[Q] Xperia S: from unlock bootloader to recovery to flashing ROM on MAC

Hi.
I'm trying to unlock my bootloader on Xperia S in order to flash CM11 ROM.
I followed this website: unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions and I'm stuck at #9.
Download and unzip this file. This is the standard android_winusb.inf-file, with a few lines of code added to enable Fastboot to support Sony and Sony Ericsson devices. Make sure you are running Google USB Driver package revision 4 or higher in your Android SDK. You can see current Google USB Driver package revision in the SDK Manager.

As I'm using MAC, I don't have Google USB Driver and website doesn't mention anything for MAC users.
I can't fastboot my phone. :crying:

Try reinstalling the recovery, don't know I would recommend you to use doomlord's guides bro U can't fail
To flash the rom, go to recovery / install zip/ install zip from sdcard0 , select and flash it , don't forget to do a factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache which is in advanced option in recovery

Mate, I'm stuck. For recovery, I refer to DoomLord http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594828 and he said,
The recovery in integrated into the kernel! so when u flash the kernel it will contain the recovery!

[ how to install my kernel ] (v02 onwards) {NEW}
1. download the kernel package update.zip (it contain the updated wifi modules)
2. save the package update.zip to sdcard (on phone)
3. reboot phone and enter recovery

You can't enter to recovery if you don't have one whoa, You need to install the kernel which contains the recovery via fastboot(you need fasboot binaries you can find them in Sdk/platform-tools). Give me your hangouts if you need more help
I managed to flash the kernel using the FlashTool, managed to get CM11 KitKat on my phone!! Yay! First time ever!! :good::good:
How do I restore the data I had before? I can't find the backup app.

Urgent Help: Can't Upgrade or can't Go into recovery mode

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.
Post here before you do anything.

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

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?

There was no need to remove that...it only checks for Root it doesn't harm anything.. Neither steals your files.
Nevermind.
You still can boot in Fulmics right?
If you can,install TWRP Manager and install the latest TWRP.
Then reinstall Fulmics..
Or
Boot in Download Mode and flash the stock ROM.
Then Root your phone flash TWRP and then Fulmics.
Thanks for answered me!

So,some good notice: TWRP exist and work properly.I did a backup with it before the "incident"(boot,system,cache,efs but i didn't backup data).
If i want to return to stock i only have to do this:
Run Flashtool.
Select KDZ file.
Click on 'CSE Flash'
Click 'Start'
Change language.
Click OK
Wait for reboot
I have the d855 europe v30b.kdz to flash and i downloaded megalock.dll and putted in lg flash tool 2014 directory.Now i did't do anything,but i think it's all ready to return to stock.What do you think?

I founded a guide that maybe can work.
Flashtool 2014,firmware and mobile drivers
Download mode>open up flashtool 2014>select firmware(Europe d855v30b_00_1217.kdz>CSE flash(in my case)>start>the connection error is normal,continue

The tool by it self doesn't use Wireless/Ethernet connection.
Weird.
Go ask hyelton in the thread(link given above)about that.He has much more experience with it.
