Problem Rebooting to Recovery - Sprint LG Optimus G

I'm having a problem with my rooted and previously unlocked Optimus G on Sprint. Shortly after I bought the phone, I unlocked and rooted, but never got around to flashing any ROMs.
Then, about a month ago, Sprint sent out an Android update that seems to have broken the unlock. I believe that this undid my unlock and root, but I was able to recover root via Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper. However, that app didn't seem to restore the recovery, and I have since tried to install both TWRP and ClockworkMod Recovery via goo.manager and ROM Manager respectively. In both cases, the recovery is downloaded and appears to install, but when I then try to boot to recovery, whether it's via goo, ROM Manager or Quick Boot, it fails.with the following message on the screen with the LG logo:
--------------------------------------------
Secure Booting Error!
Cause : boot certification verify
--------------------------------------------
If I hold down the Power button, this message goes away, the phone reboots into LG stock Android and everything works fine, including rooted apps.
What's the best way to restore a working Recovery to my phone? Many thanks in advance...

If you have root, then just run FreeGee. Or LGNPST teeny bins. I'm assuming you don't have fastboot.

Thanks for the suggestion!
I subsequently found another post (searched using the error message that appears on the LG logo boot screen). It suggested using Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to remove root, then use Framaroot to restore root, and finally use Freegee to unlock and install TWRP.
Now, I can boot into TWRP Recovery without problem.
Thanks again.

Oh gawd I hated that error. Made me want to punch someone after I rooted and unlocked my phone. >_<
Glad you got it fixed.

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

You need to start from the beginning, play with the unbricking process again.
Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk 2
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

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] Reboot Recovery: Secure boot error?

Hello everyone!
I rooted my phone a few months ago and attempted to install a recovery manager (TWRP) through goo manager. I gave up at the time because it wasn't working, and it wasn't that important to me at the time.
I return today to try to fix the problem. I launched goo manager again and installed TWRP through it, and it said it did so successfully. However, when I click reboot into recovery, it says hidden menu has stopped working, and then it shuts off. When it starts turning back on, it says..
"Secure booting error!
cause: Boot certification verify"
At that point, I must hold the power button and restart the phone into its normal operational state. I would really like to overcome this issue but I have no idea what would cause something like this! Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Tevin

you have to be unlocked as well to use custom recovery. search freegee in the app store and use it to unlock your phone plus it installs a custom recovery at the same time!

Did you remove any apps? Is FreeGee installed already? We need to know this stuff.
Try holding the Power button for 20sec. That should turn it off. Then power on again.

Heres the situation. I just flashed cyanfox or whatever its called. I cleared the cache, user data, and dalvik cache. There is no FreeGee. Assume i have not done anything except: flash TWRP(which failed to recognize touch screen properly), flash CWM, transfer CyanFox-geefhd-050913.zip, gapps-jb43-20130726-signed.zip, E980-MODEM-BM9615A-CWM, and then install all 3 of them in the order presented.
I then cleared applicable caches and data then rebooted with CWM.
When i hold the power button to reboot the device i get this error.
When i remove the battery i get this error when it tries to boot up.
How do i... un-**** this.

First, is you phone Sprint? Those files you're trying to flash are not Sprint. I'm guessing it's international version but I'm not sure.
If you are on Sprint, then you'll need to use LGNPST or the LGFlashTool to restore your phone.
Thanks! Helped me a lot!
Found "freegee" in the play store and it worked awesome!!! Thanks a lot.

Problem rooting nexus 7 2013 on Mac.

Like the title say I have problem rooting my nexus 7 on Mac.
It's the second one that I have, the first one I got it rooted with techfanatic one click toolkit, but with this one it didn't worked, the only difference that I see is that the one that I have now is on jss15q while when I rooted the other one it was still on jss15j.
So since the one click method haven't worked I tried to do it manually.
I got the latest twrp for flo, the latest super su file and done so:
I navigated in the platform tools, typed ./fastboot OEM unlock selected yes and it unlocked , after I did ./fastboot flash recovery ... and it flashed.
After I pressed start to transfer the super su on my tablet bit it got stuck forever on the x logo.
I tried many times and it didn't worked.
I even tried to wipe data factory reset in twrp but it says failed.
I don't know what to do now, help please.

For what it's worth, I didn't reboot after unlocking and ended up in a boot loop. Doing a factory reset from (stock) recovery fixed that. Rooting went without problems after that.

First I flashed twrp for flo 2.6.1 but it ended up in a black screen so I flashed 2.6.0 and it's fine.
BTW I managed to root it.
What I did is I unlocked the bootloader ./fastboot OEM unlock and what I did different is I booted up the tablet , without flashing straight away the recovery.
After the boot I did a quick setup (WiFi and all that) USB debugging on and transfered the super su 1.55 and after I powered off the tablet and booted up on recovery .
In recovery I flashed twrp 2.6.0 , booted up in twrp recovery and there I flashed the super su and boom, rooted.
I will never use a toolkit anymore , the way to go is manually, also you learn how it all work when you do it manually.

Any hope for 3rd party rom to F240s/l/k users?

There are recovery available for F240 users, rom for E980 is exploding. I am very sad to see myself being left in the dark....I almost want to flash the E980 into my F240, let it work or die, once and for all....
actually users have reported using cm 10.1 and 10.2 roms on f240 models.... also AOSP roms for e980 don't flash a modem so you don't even have to do that..... but some people have suggested to wipe internal memory or internal sd card when moving from stock to aosp roms..... happy flashing.... don't forget to share your experience

OK, i did not flash the recovery because i did not think there are any rom out there to try.
Since the Roms for e980 seems working with F240, now the recovery is flashed into my phone. So far, doing back up in CWM, and downloading the PAC rom for testing.....
wish me luck....if I dont come back again...that just means my F240s bricked....:angel:

That is strange you should see a secure boot error after freegee worked
Secure boot error
Cause device unlock so boot success
have you tried the button combination to get into recovery?? if that fails your option maybe to download LG flashtool connect your device in download mode and flash stock rom and then start again
what I suspect is that freegee didn't install properly

Never use Rom manager to boot into recovery unless you're using THEIR recovery. I recommend using Rom Toolbox or quickreboot.

Now doing back up in recovery, and going to flash PAC again.
This return to stock is a lot more complicate than Samsung.....i remember it was very easy when I mess up with my Note 1.

Getting Status 7 Error when flashing PAC,
but now i am with CM10.2, it boots up while i am typing this reply!!! i am FREE!!!!!

[Q] rooted, but freegee doesn't give me option to unlock, where to go?

I've got my OGP rooted, and I installed FreeGee as recommended by many; however, freegee doesn't give me any options to "disable lge security" or "unlock boot loader" as many tutorials point out.
What I get with freegee is:
device name: LG optimus g pro
device model: LG E980
Software version: E98010g
"backup EFS"
"Restor EFS"
"CWM 6.0.4.6"
"TWRP 2.6.3.3"
and via menu:
settings
update loki in zip
reboot recovery
reboot bootloader
shutdown
......
That's all. No "disable lge security" like I see in this video: I'm to new to post a link. . . youtube video of e980 with "disable lge security" as an option.
Or the option to unlock the boot loader I've read in some tutorials.
So. . . where do I go from here? I would like to be able to safely flash a custom ROM.
I tried this freegee CWM once before and ended up in a boot loop, and ultimately security lock on start up and had to restore back to original via soft brick fix. . . would like to avoid that again
Thanks!
When you open freegee just choose your the recovery of your choice. CWM or TWRP. Make sure you grant permission to the app (assuming you are rooted). Once done to get to recovery what I do it turn off the phone and press volume down and power button, once it turns just press the power button 2-3 times to get to recovery.

Thanks stulzerl for the reply.
I was working my way through the 33 pages on the freegee thread. . . little confused on the lge security — dev stated everything white listed but also has uploat boot.img, which I've no clue
So. . . I guess I'm good without that step and I'll just attempt cwm again with beanstalk. Finger crossed.
CWM worked
Thanks again. . . TWRP didn't work — touch screen would only work on a couple items. CWM worked fine. Backed up and installed Beanstalk ROM.

I remember when I used Freegee, it didn't give me an unlock option either but after i installed CWM through it and rebooted, I got the unlock successful security error which means it did the unlock automatically.
maybe that's it

I don't remember just rebooting after installing freegee. . . installed a ROM right off. Nonetheless, all seems to be working properly. :laugh:
for anyone who wants to know: I would get locked into a boot loop with CWM when booting into recovery from power off. I found that madmac's lokified TWRP doesn't have this problem.
