[E988]Booting to CWM only - LG Optimus G Pro

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).
... but i can use my phone

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.

save me pls !!! again

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

New version of FreeGee used; stuck in CWM bootloop

I have done this before but I used what seems to be a different version of freegee (didn't have the option to backup efs or flash TWRP) so I unlocked my device and after it had completed I rebooted and then powered down. I put my phone in to CWM and flashed the stock debloated ROM. After flashing this ROM I was stuck in a bootloop. I ended up using LG Tool to get it back to stock. I thought it must have been a random once off issue so I tried again with Freegee, same thing happened, only this time no matter what I do I can not get LG Tool to fix the issue as it keeps giving me the error of low battery even though it is at full capacity. I then tried to use BC2 to flash a kdz file and I get the same error. I have since tried factory resetting, sideloading different recoveries, ROMs and basebands without boot. I have tried to use LG Tool about 50 times and it is not working. I have changed USB ports, reinstalled drivers etc, just keeps giving me that error. Yes I have set permission in the app and I am using Windows 7

Thank you, I will use that if I ever get LG Tool to stop throwing me the low battery warning. What a stupid program to not give you the option to bypass it. Surely there is a way I can do this. My battery is at 99%. I just flashing madmack hacked and lockified recovery and now I can't even get in to recovery to do sideloads. I am running out of options, my only way is to get LG Tool or B2C to work
EDIT* I have recovery back. GRR why is this stupid message about low battery keep popping up

have not tested this from cm rom but works from any stock. bytheway i have optimus G not pro
from recovery adb push rom.zip (your rom)
adb push rom.zip /sdcard/0
(0 required for cwm and cm10.2)
flash that rom
enable debugging
run lgflash tool one that supports large files or the online one it will pass the battery and auto restart in download mode there it will give error just unplug replug and retry and it will be flashed this time.

It is strange because it didn't work the first 3 times I flashed the ROM and on the fourth it worked, so keep trying

Thanks for trying to help. I am not running stock and can not get a stock ROM to work (with locked bootloader obviously)
LG Tool is requesting for a TOT file which the E988 doesn't have, I have tried using E98810D_00.kdz file in the software field but it is not recognising the cab file. The DLL file is recognised but I don't know what else to do from there.
LG Mobile Support Tool keeps failing on me due to low battery error which as you can see, I have been trying my hardest to get it to work. Battery is at 99% but it still won't flash! - I am stuch with a custom ROM and a dodgy unlocked bootloader due to the latest release FreeGee.
I tried the old file you attached but it fails to download the image file to unlock my bootloaders, I guess because it is already unlocked.
What I need now is to find a way to relock my bootloader that doesn't involve LG Tool/LG Mobile Tool and then try the old FreeGee app again. Or I find a way to get passed this stupid battery warning

First try to use LG Mobile Tool. All files and instructions found here CLICK ME
If that doesn't work the follow the instructions I posted earlier and it will get your phone booting again. As for getting back to stock and unlocking the bootloaders without causing kernel issues, I am still waiting for a response from Seth. He has been making a lot of changing as this is a known problem. The latest version is supposed to work like it used to now.

Thanks! This worked 100%. Something's really up with the freegee CWM, totally useless. Had 3 days of a headache till I saw this post. I used to be a CWM guy, now TWRP all the way...! The interface is touch based and much easier to handle than CWM. Best of all it doesn't go into a bootloop! Cheers! :good::good:

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

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

[Q] [Urgent Help] Cannot install rom other than Bell V20 in LG LU6200

Hi all experts
i dont know what happened to my phone that i cannot install other roms apart from Bell V20 rom ported from SU640. every time i install a rom it just boot loops main screen then LG Optimus LTE then restarts and loop continues.
let me explain what i did to my phone.
i was using Sphinx v4.1 without any problem then i saw Pisces FlexUI V5 and thought to install it. but before installing it i downloaed MiUi V5 and installed it but did not liked it so decided to install Pisces FlexUI.
Now the problem started althouh pisces rom installed correctly but it started to give SystemUI crashed error right from the start. My Imei also become blank althogh i took backup of it by using LG Backup IMEI 1.3. i tried to restore it but it didnot worked.
i reinstalled MiUI and it also displayed blank imei. then i downloaded 5irom from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672014 and replaed it 10.img and 11.img with mine and tried to restore it but again not successful. i restarted the phone and it started to boot looping same as mentioned above. no matter what rom i tried nothing boot up only Bell V20 was successful and also my imei is restored too.
plz help me i am really confused and worried that why any other rom is not working in my phone... if any one can provide clean backup of installed Sphinx rom from their phone i would really appreciate it coz i think i might give it a try too to restore backup using CWM. i badly want Jelly Bean in my fone. should i try to flash KDZ file will it be successful? i just wanted to be careful becuase i dont want to loose CWM recovery becuase it is the only thing which is doing the work.
Try using philztouch to install ROMs. I had troubles for some reason until I used that. Maybe something's not deleting properly ? In using p930 with CM11 04/28 nightly

u should proceed with kdz flashing, its must after that root it and install any rom u like that will b a better procedure to start all things clean. and uploading recovery will depend on net speed as iv a slow net despite it being a 3g and no dsl or other net available.
Yeah flash a kdz for clean restart.

Dont make assumptions. kdz flashing is not similar to a zip flashing. If you do it right then your problems can be solved. If kdz flashing fails due to some reason then there is a chance that you hard brick your device. So, make sure you are doing it right.
i had experience this boot loop it was stuck on cmw recovery one time( didnot resolve with anything except kdz flashing) and second time with lg lte boot screen. both times it resolved with clean kdz flashing

Thank you all of you for helping i flashed my fone with ICS KDZ and all things become alright and now i am enjoying Flex UI. the problem was that the partitions becomes corrupted and KDZ flashing restored the partitions to their original state and Viola.
thnx again for suggesting me.

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.

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:

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?
