I had installed cwm with freegee then I flashed philz touch. everything was working fine. I restored a backup (slimbean 4.3), rom booted and was running fine. then I flashed a font and I ended up in a bootloop.. I then booted into recovery and wiped everything like I normally do when installing a new rom or restoring a backup. I restored my backup and now whenever I choose reboot phone it just reboots back into recovery. Is there anything I can try without having to completely start from scratch?
Go back to CWM from Freegee and restore your back up.

How would I do that? and I'm not sure that would work. everything has been working fine with restoring backups and flashing new roms. I've only had this problem because I flashed a font zip and it may have not been compatible
You should have another recovery, either CWM or TWRP on your phone from before Philz recovery don't you? Boot into recovery, flash one of them and flash a rom.

yeah I installed cwm with freegee and used that for awhile.. then I flashed cwm advanced edition philz touch for e980 and as I said everything worked fine, flashing roms, restoring backups. I was on bs harmony 4.4 and flashed a font zip file and it worked fine. a little while ago I wiped everything thru recovery like normal and restored my slimbean 4.3 backup, it booted fine and I ended up going back to recovery and flashing the same font zip file and that's when I ended up in a bootloop.. I removed battery and booted into recovery wiped everything and tried to restore both backups but it only resulted in a cwm bootloop, everytime I reboot it boots back into cwm advanced edition philz touch
And you're positive that you don't have another recovery like madmack's hacked TWRP on your phone somewhere? I have it, TWRP 2.6.3, CWM all on my phone and have switched because of different roms. Look hard or you might need to start over.

no I'm not positive.. I assumed that when I flashed philz touch it installed over the freegee cwm that I installed.. am I wrong? if so how would I go about booting into the freegee cwm that I originally installed? when booting the phone and holding the volumedown, power, and home button it automatically boots into the philz touch cwm
You mean power, volume +, and home.? Freegee is probably gone.

Maybe you can sideload one of the recoveries. One of the posts on the attached discusses that option. Otherwise it is the LG flashtool.

I used goo manager to download and install the latest recovery. Every time I go to boot into recovery it gets to the load screen where the blue letters are at the top but then it vibrates two or three times then reboots the phone like normal. My phone is rooted but not sure why it's doing this....help would be appreciated.

Have you tried flashing TWRP via Odin?
Have you tried to install twrp again?
Try installing cwm (you can use the ROM manager app) and see if that boots. Then try using too to install twrp again.

I haven't tried using Odin yet. I will give that a try. I was hoping I could do it without having to use a computer. I have tried reinstalling twrp using goo manager without success.

Switch to cwm to make sure the recovery partition of the storage is okay. Install cwm via the ROM manager app and make sure you can get into SOME recovery. Then try to install twrp again from too. Switching to another recovery was an important step in that process.

Finally got twrp installed! Goo manager and Rom manager did not work for me....they both would not boot into recovery. I had to use Odin mobile and install the recovery then it would boot. Thank everyone that helped out. Hope this can help someone else.

This is a little late here, but I an others have had trouble booting into recovery after flashing ROMs like the leaked 4.3.
It behaved just like the above when I was trying to get into recovery to restore a nandriod - even after a battery pull for 1 minute. I put in into Download mode, then did a battery pull. After that, it went into recovery with no problem.
Note - if Goo Manager installed 2.5.0.3 - that could be part of the problem, as there are issues with it. I went back to 2.5.0.2.
I think some 4.3 roms make you loose root also read their op.

Omega 1.0 was the first one to indicate it was rooted - but it unrooted me. It was when I initially tried to restore a nandriod when I could not get into recovery. I had read about others not being able to get into recovery after flashing 4.3 also.
Ive tried several different Roms and, they all freeze.. at random times, then I have to shut the phone down and then back on. Is this normal? I'm on the latest Carbon Rom

I've noticed you like CWM for your recovery.
Try installing TWRP and see if that helps. Our phone seems to prefer TWRP.

You probably need to use the sbl unlock in FreeGee's menu. Or teeny bins with LGNPST.
Maybe CWM isn't wiping things correctly. There's flashable zips for TWRP and CWMv so that makes it easy.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Its pretty simple we didn't have CWM for our phones for a long time for a reason. TWRP is much more current and supports our phones.

Cwm is infamous for not wiping everything correctly. Twrp is built off the amon ra recovery which is a lot better at wiping than cwm is

He's not alone. PAC and Cyanogenmod have been freezing up on me for at least a month. I use TWRP. It locks up when I type most often and then quits my message and I lose it all. Im resetting to stock and back today.

So when you install roms, are you wiping /system, /data, /cache, and / dalvic?
If you're using TWRP 2.6.3.0, go to wipe, factory reset, then advanced and tick everything but internal storage. Then install a rom.
If you're still having issues, then in TWRP, wipe everything. Including internal storage. Make sure you backup your files. You will lose everything. Also make sure you have a rom to install or restore in TWRP. If you don't, you'll learn to adb sideload.
If this doesnt work, then LGNPST, or LGFlashTool.

I rooted a while back and did not install a recovery because both cwm and twrp were both having issues causing bootloops and not being able to restore a backup.
I always used cwm on my phones. I posted in the cwm thread but got no reply. Has the issue been fixed.
Is there a working cwm recovery that allows to restore backups?
Thanks!

When the touchscreen doesn't work the first time, just hold power to restart phone, then power, vol+, and home to get into recovery again.
Also, which ROM are you on? I personally use madmack's Twrp that is hacked and no touch problems and I am on CM10.2.

use the freegee app you used to flash cwm ( if that's the one you chose when you used the freegee app to unlock) and hit restore from back up and it will restore the cwm recovery.

I think that might depend if he can boot up. Freegee is an app and installed like one and not flashed. Also, if he isn't on stock, freegee doesn't work. Hopefully, he followed rule 1...make a back up.

Can you wipe data in recovery at all? As long as you can get into Download mode, there's always a way to save the device by flashing back to stock and starting again, so don't lose hope.

Honestly, I have never, ever had any luck with TWRP, and I've tried it many times on many devices. It looks great, but it's just not as reliable as the good old CWM recovery. This isn't to start a flame war with TWRP fans. I'm just stating my observations over the last few years of trying it.
I am with you I have been flashing for years this is the first time this has happened. Now I am in the process of going back to stock with a slow ass computer. Thanks
Sent from my GT-P5210 using xda app-developers app
If you can get into download mode by pressing both volume keys while plugging in the usb cable connected to your PC, then you are not bricked, just do a factory image flash and start over, it happens even to the more experienced.
I btw use CWM but I don't flash ROM's that much.
Erik
You also posted the same issue in at least 3 different posts. Limit it to one post and you might get more response.
I had that happen with one of the TWRP files floating around here. If you wanna use TWRP, you need the hacked e986 one which works splendidly on my e980. Hardcore CWM fan, myself, but I love the ease of just using the touch screen.

If you have an SD card you can download the CWM .zip from here, put it on your card and flash that from within TWRP. Then you just have to reboot the recovery, wipe and restore. This is the CWM included in FreeGee. I personally tested this version for @Shelnutt2 a while back and have used the .zip a few times, since.
I did it and it worked thanks
