[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:

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.

[Q] Persistent low battery error while using flashing tool

hi,
My phone is soft bricked and stuck at boot logo. I am trying to flash stock recovery/kdz file using flash tool but getting stuck at"low battery" error.
Could you please help how i can bypass this error? I have spend a lot of time online and tried few methods but always getting stuck at this error. I dont have any alternative phone and this is really disappointing.
I am using E988 India model.

CLICK HERE MATE. LET ME KNOW IF IT HELPS. IF NOT USE THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW
I'm using same phone and have the same problem. I still can't flash stock with the tool but I can tell you how to get out of soft brick. Download madmacks e980 lokified TWRP recovery and also CM 11 latest version. Get in to recovery mode and go to install file (sideload) and flash the recovery first then reboot in to recovery again and sideload CM 11. When I get a definitive solution to flash stock I will let you know mate. If you have problems or don't know what I'm talking about then reply here. You well need adb installed on computer and open a new command window by holding shift and click right noise button at the same time. Make sure you perform this from the same directory as where there files are that your flashing. Once your phone prompts you to sideload type in to the command window adb sideload (the exact file name of the file you want to flash.zip) but without the brackets

Thank you very much for this help. I have never tried adb. Probably I shall now learn it and then try to do as you suggested. I am not particular about stock ROM. In fact I will be happy if there is stable cm ROM for this phone.
I juts bought this phone two days back. There are too many model numbers n am little scared now about choosing the right ROM. Do you mind sharing link for correct cm11 ROM please?,
Thanks again for your help!

Used Newest FreeGee - Stuck in TWRP

ATT LG Optimus G Pro Here
I used newest FreeGee , Installed TWRP & Now im stuck in recovery mode. I flashed gummy rom first time & It worked. Ran into problem after I installed the Google apps so I did a factory reset, wiped everything to try again to install gummy rom. Now I'm stuck in TWRP. I also used ADB sideload commands to push the rom to phone & It did push it, except now. When I try to install the rom, It keeps saying FAILED. Can someone tell me what im doing wrong?

newgeek- I don't know if the AT&T version of this is very different to my F240 version but I am familiar with that 3rd screen you posted with the "secure booting error" or something like that.
What about just pulling that battery out and doing factory reset and start over from the beginning ?

Try to push another ROM via adb, I read in the general Section that there were some Gummy files that weren't the right size, just download CM11 and try to flash it, TWRP is saying that the flash failed, that's why you are stuck in recovery.
Erik

The phone currently has no OS , I also tried to mount my 64gb sd card to install off of that & It gives me a mounting error for SD CARD. I have tried several other roms & No luck , Keeps giving me FAILED. Is this because of the secure boot perhaps? I'm totally clueless why it's not taking it. I'm running my nexus 4 with the gummy rom without a hitch.

Why not try a different SD card ? If that SD card was in the phone when all this happened maybe something is on the card that's bad ?
LL13-

I borrowed a 2GB SD CARD & It mounts but same thing as before FAILED. Tried both gummy & CM 10.2

It looks like an error with the updater script, maybe something twrp isnt reading or executing? try a different rom.
At worst try a different Recovery.
ADDED:2/4/2014: I would avoid twrp on freegee, i've heard others have issues and it may have something to do with your situation.
Also, I noticed your twrp says 2.6.1.0, am I mistaken or is the newest teamwin 2.6.3.1? That number don't look right.
If possible try to flash madmacks twrp or cwm 6.0.4.6.

1.Try to Flash a ROM via sideload
2. you can end the recovery boot loop by using adb commands, there are two methods try them

I had the same issue seems like the are some problems with TWRP on this particular phone I flashed the regular clockworkmod and it works perfect.I tried on another phone with same results.
Right now
Flash stock rom
root
use freegee to install regular cwm I tried rom manage but recovery did not installed
the flash another rom if thats what you really want but copy rom directly to sd card instead

Its not just twrp apparently the new update of freegee installs the wrong bootloader/image on our phone. It bootloops anyone that uses it.

Use Madmack's hacked TWRP located in his CM threads. Best recovery for our device from what I've seen/tested.

Madmack's TWRP is reliable when you want to have no bootloops into your recovery. But i have the problem, that i cannot flash any other roms and it shows, that my LG E986 isnt recognized as a suitable device for the rom and it aborts the procedure. Although on the other recoveries it worked fine...
Is there something what i have to do except switching recoveries to my phone's death?

I used ADB to push the stock rom back to device & It took it's sweet time but it worked. I sold the phone to a friend of mine LOL! They wont know the difference.

Unable to install TWRP Recovery on LG G Pad v50020f

Hey guys,so heres the problem...recently i had to use the LG Support Tool and prior to this i was v50020d. When the tool had finished restoring the stock ROM,it upgraded me to v50020f. So i went and successfully rooted it with KingoRoot surprisingly enough with no trouble at all. I then tried to install TWRP Recovery,through the TWRP app,Flashify,Rashr and i even tried Fastboot and ADB which im led to believe don't work with the v500 but i still tried it and had absolutely no success at all in installing TWRP. I have tried flashing every version of TWRP from 2.8.7.1 back to 2.6.3.0 i think using all those apps mentioned above. So i came on here to XDA to see could i find any solution to my problem but no luck either but i did find a post where a script was used,edited and apparently worked. I downloaded the zip file that was used in this process,edited the runme.bat file by changing the last letter of the build to f which would correspond to my build which is v50020f. I saved the edited file and then ran the script which when finished told me that recovery had been installed so i rebooted the G Pad,it started up,the blue teamwin screen came up and then it just hung there for hours! Thats was it nothing more. No recovery installed. So then i went and used Flashify & flashed `twrp-2.8.7.1-v500.img´ and when i rebooted i got 'secure booting error,cause:device unlock:so boot success!!' rebooted the G Pad again and the same thing happened blue teamwun screen loads and then nothing,no recovery. So i flashed the same recovery image with TWRP Recovery app and when it was finished i got the message 'Success!! Flashing recovery was successful,would you like to attempt rebooting into recovery? so i did and again the same thing happened. Teamwin blue screen and nothing more. When i check TWRP Recovery app afterwards it tells me that there is no recovery installed or it us not recognised. Can anybody please,please,please find a solution to my problem? Oh yeah,i even tried booting into recovey by using the power and volume up and down trick too and got the same result. Thank you so much guys...hope you can help.

I think I've seen that in order to install TWRP on the V500 is similar to how on my VK810 variant, at least the part that requires downgrading your bootloader. If it's like the VK810, it has to be the bootloader from 4.2.2. I'm sure there's TWRP threads in these sections, specifically for the V500 that give the details and files.

I'd love to know a way too. I just rooted which went great, but I have the V50020f and don't want to do another thing until I see what happens in this thread. After years of flashing and rooting I finally hard bricked my Lenovo Yoga 10 and this is my replacement tablet, so I don't want to chance it at all. Until I read a concrete solution for this build I'm staying where I am.

That wall of text is really hard to read @[email protected]!c, when I first saw it I was too tired to try and decipher it so ignored it. Now I've had another look.
Have you tried downgrading to an older firmware which people have had success with?
I had trouble when I first got this tablet but kept reading the forum and found a method to downgrade, it isn't pretty but eventually it worked. As I'm new to this device I'm not overly familiar with the different official firmware versions so I'm not exactly sure what you've got.
My tablet was more complicated as the LG tool put the Chinese, no Google apps, version on for me as that is where it was bought. So I had to downgrade so I could get apps from the Play Store to flash my recovery!
So patience and research will reward you.

Hi!! I'm in the same boat! Any chance you were able to work out a solution? Thanks so much for any help!!

I know it didn't work for the OP, but coming from bone stock v50020f, I successfully rooted using ioroot25r1, updated Supersu through playstore, then using flashify i installed TWRP 2.8.7.1 (newest I think). Once booted into TWRP recovery, I wiped cache, data, and system, and then installed AOSP Marshmallow. All went smooth as silk, no problems at all. Now I can finally stop being jealous of my wifes Nexus 7!! Hope this helps some.

Thanks.!

i have just used twrp manager apk from playstore (similar to flashify) to get TWRP 2.8.7.1 on stock v50020f, rooted using ioroot25r1 on a mac, with updated Supersu through playstore. just had to run the apk twice as it failed first time, and have booted into twrp recovery.

Had the same problem with the recovery but worked by rooting and flashing recovery with flashify.

I tried to unroot my Honor 7X and failed

Hi,
So this morning I decided to root my phone (BND-L21)
I did it! But I realise I couldn't use Snapchat since being rooted didn't allow me. After going through various methods, I gave up and was left with the only guaranteed method, which was to unroot my phone.
I got stuck in a bootloop after pressing the unroot button in SuperSU.
I can access TWRP mode, Recovery mode, and the Rescue mode or something.
The Recovery mode which used wifi to reset my phone by installing a fresh rom had failed..
The rescue mode i have no idea what to do with (neither do I have any idea about ADB to help me out here)
In TWRP mode, i wiped everything and formatted data, hoping something would happen because nothing else did.
Everything I tried to do, I would just end up back in the booting screen with "Your device is.....booting...."
On my PC, it recognises my honor 7x in RECOVERY if I type in adb devices.
I'm believe I'm almost at a critical stage of turning my phone into a brick.
I tried downloading stock rom and installing it from TWRP mode but it came up with "UPDATER PROCESS ENDED WITH ERROR: 9"
Please help. I can't afford another one, nor do I have a backup phone. It says I have no current ROM if I intend to reboot my phone.

formating in twrp was not a good idea. These huawei phones have "other" files that system needs stored on /data. The stock recovery skips these files when doing a reset, twrp does not.
you should probably flash fullOTA to get back to working stock now.
try to follow this guide.

formating in twrp was not a good idea. These huawei phones have "other" files that system needs stored on /data. The stock recovery skips these files when doing a reset, twrp does not.
you should probably flash fullOTA to get back to working stock now.
try to follow this guide.

Um, the situation changed quite drastically.
I can't access TWRP anymore and when I plugged my phone in to my computer it detects it as a disk drive...
Can I still flash stock rom using sd card or anything else?
(Also, i sent it to a repair shop today and they'll get back to me tomorrow.)

Oh ok. Will this method work even if I don't have any OS installed on my phone?
Also, are the 3 files you mentioned in your post refer to the ones within the filelist of Firmware Finder?

Ok. Do I extract the 3 update zips into the HWOTA folder or do I just copy the 3 update zips?
Thanks so much!!
