Hello there,
I'm planning to install ClockWorkMod Recovery into my phone, the Optimus G F180L. But of course, Since F180L is only sold in Korea, it seems very tricky to actually install this.
So, I downloaded ROM Manager, and tried to install ClockWorkMod Recovery from there.
But it gave me 3 options: LG Optimus G e970 (AT&T), LG Optimus G e973 (Canada), and LG Optimus G ls970 (Sprint).
Which one would be closest to the Optimus G F180L, or even the International version (e975)?
If you do require one, here's a screenshot: Actually, since I'm a 'n00b', I'll just attach the screenshot if you do need it.

There's nothing wrong with that... First of all, did you root your phone? Second, did you unlock your bootloader with FreeGee? If not, you can't install custom recovery. Third, my suggestion would be to forget the ROM Manager, and the regular CWM. Install PhilZ Advanced Touch CWM. This will be the last recovery you'll ever need.

When you unlock your bootloader, FreeGee gives you an option to install a custom recovery (TWRP, I believe). Do it, and then from that recovery, flash PhilZ. Done.
Well, I did get ClockworkMod Recovery to work (the regular one, couldn't get the advanced one), but still have some problems.
I'm trying to get Cyanogenmod 10.2 (Stable) version to work on my Optimus G, but it just keeps giving me the 'Status 7" Error.
I'm guessing that it is because I'm using the International Version of the Optimus G. But my phone is a bit different, as I've already talked about (Korean F180L model). I think that is why the asset or whatever this didn't work, and thus, failed to install.
So, any ways to fix this problem? does fixing the "e975" to "F180L" work?
Thanks.:good:

Can you help me too? My problem is I can't use my phone normally because it doesn't go beyond that LG logo. My phone is LG F180L (LG optimus G korean). I want to flash recovery but not that freegee or flashify methods cos I can't start my phone. All I can access is bootloader or sk8s CWMRTouch 6.0.2.7 14.4.7 that doesn't let me mount my sdcard or external sdcard. Is there anythign like we flash recovery into LG optimus 2x? Please help me please.

I responded to your PM. Just to summarize the steps that I would suggest you do:
1. Use LG Flash Tool 2014 to flash a stock KDZ. Forget the standard LG tools.
2. Root your phone (depending on the version, you can use ioroot25, or ZV9-ZVB-Universal-Root, or whatever works for you).
3. Install FreeGee, then unlock your BL (I always used Mako method), and install the custom recovery.
4. Flash PhilZ Advanced Touch CWM. This is the best recovery available, hands down (in my experience).
Bro how long does it gonna take to get the process completed? I Download flash tool 2014 but I guess its not moving see here...27 minutes and still 44℅

Hello all,
I have the E975 Optimus G. Rooted and tried to install CWM over "BootTools"... and failed it seems :/
when I try to boot, I just have the screen "secure booting error cause: boot certification verify" and bootloop
Factory rested yields the same error (and fails)
CWM not installed it seems :/
please, can anyone give me an advise ?
If you don't unlock bootloader first with freegee you won't be able to flash CWM.

I can agree, but for now I can do nothing at all :/ any clue ? please :/
I found this...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010624
and... solved my issue YEAH !
But I don't understand how I made this mess... it is definitively not my first rooting and CWM installation on Android devices...
I will read all tutos again with care...
does anyone had any problems installing CWM ?
What is it so hard to underwtand.locked bootloader means security checks.if you don't disable these checks,you can't install cwm.
Freegee does both,unlocking the bootloader and install custom recovery(either twrp or cwm).
It has always b3en like this on locked phones.
It's not compared with samsung devices,where a simple root is bringing the cwm too.with og you need to do one more operation

I see and yes, my experiences were some old HTC and some Samsungs
thanks alot let's go for FreeGee
PS : does thes (above) restauration method will almost always save my phone ? because in this case I will keep it in a very secured place
Hi every1 i always used odin because always had samsung device but two days ago i've got LG Optimus G E975.
So if i download cwm,zip or twrp.zip file how i suppose to flash it , i just wish to have recovery.
Thanx in advance for an answer
There is a topic called "Freaking Annoying Questions". You should take a look at that, it's very interesting..
use freegee from playstore
can't flash a CWM recovery on my wife's E980 using Freegee....Mine is the white one and I had no loki issues with it...everytime you flsays:
"checking if loki-ifying is needed/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc. /by-name/boot needs lokifying. [-] Failed to find function to patch.
Error loki-ifying the boot image. "
yes I did use Freegee already and install CWM. When I booted it gave me this...I can't install any ROMS. yet my other G Pro (white) is fine and hasn't given me any issues. RIght now I'm stuck with it booting into clockwork by itself. And I would like to use TWRP but the version that comes with Freegee doesn't work right on the damn screen. If it's not bootlooping into Clockwork then it gets frozen at the LG screen with something about security crap. and the funny part is...I used Freegee both times.
EDIT: used LGFlashTool to bring it back..but she wants a custom ROM and every recovery I flash to it either
1. used this recovery. tried flashing using a CWM recovery that I used from Freegee http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2552611
freezes at the LG screen with a SECURITY ERROR on the left corner of the screen (flashtools will fix)
2. When I do successfully flash a recovery using Freegee and I get it to boot into CWM it won't come back out of CWM it will boot automatically into it (LGflashtools will fix)
3. the freegee TWRP in won't work right with the touch screen.
Yes I saw that there are 2 topics similar to this, but they are G2's. Mine is an AT&T E980 that i'm having issues with.
I had exactly this same problem. I'm also on AT&T E980 and could not find a fix anywhere for this phone. I flashed back to stock so many times that I was ready to just get rid of it. What I finally noticed was that, if I flashed back to stock and took the update to E98010P, I could flash TWRP through FreeGee and the touch would work. I also used VooDoo OTA to preserve root through the update. I don't know if it was necessary, but it didn't cause me any problems and everything worked.
I have no idea why CWM stopped working and I could not use Phil's recovery either, but the whole experience has been maddening and I have never had so many problems with a phone before. Hope this helps.
i have the same annoying problem!
can someone help?
after the rom flash was done i've got the error so i immediately restored my backup

so...Root using the old firmware...voodoo OTA then update?...and then restore root and then Freegee should work fine with TWRP?
ive installed the twrp recovery and the flash completed , but the idiot checked the MD5 than skipped it than finished and on the bottom line just did NOTHING!
what the hell!
what is going on with this phone! so frustrating ...
Yeah, I went back to stock, rooted and installed FreeGee and Voodoo, then took the update and flashed TWRP thru FreeGee.

No, i'm pretty sure on the firmware i'm running (not sure what you're running) can only flash touchwiz based ROMS. No Cyanogenmod, AOSP or anything not based on samsung's stock UI

Ok I have used CWM from FreeGee and used the Carbon (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439911) ROM and it does not need lokifying for my AT&T E980. It loads fine. I'm looking for a way to fix the lokifying thing though as I can't flash too many ROMs, a lot need lokifying.
I've personally had no issues on my E980 using TWRP flashed by FreeGee, but you can always try the "hacked" TWRP provided by @madmack

Always used Madmack's hacked TWRP for anything that requires loki and it works flawlessly.

Hi guys just got a second hand LG Optimus G Pro, but the problem is I can't flash any CM11 ROM's and I am unable to enter recovery mode with hardware keys. I tried Power + Vol up but still cannot enter it. It just stays at black screen. Another problem is I am sure the one I am having is an LG E988 model, but I cannot install CM11 e98x ROM's it just keep saying this model is f310lr. What should I do?
E988 if I'm correct is the Korean version of the G pro. The conflict looks like issue with the compatibility of nightly build. I'll have to get back with you on this.
have you tried another recovery?

Only TWRP 2.8.1.0 can be used, flashed via Flashify, CWM/ Philz all giving error upon entering. If I use any Loki type installer it just says xxx loki not found.
When I have it already on KitKat.
EDIT: Solved, the recovery is not build to be meant use on our phone. Working TWRP.
Happy Holidays ppl!!! :sly:

I think you need TWRP / Philz Touch for flashing CWM....
The same is also mentioned in CWM thread.
