But if i try to root into recovery I get a " android with a exclamation mark" - so assumes i messed something up ?
only way is to power cycle the device .

How were you able to make flashing custom roms work using freegee? I successfully rooted my Optimus G Pro and used freegee to install CWM recovery 6.0.4.7, but everytime I try to flash a custom rom - the phone would reboot after 10 -15 seconds. I followed and installed the custom roms accordingly to the instructions. Can you help me?

When you start the freegee app is there an option to "unlock" ?
also, are you able to use CWM otherwise? liks to make a nandroid backup and such ?

There are two different versions of Freegee on the Playstore. One is the free version and One is the paid version. I used the free version and when I open the app to install CWM recovery I don't see the "unlock" option, so I think the "unlock" option is only available in the paid version. Also, when I used the free version of Freegee to install CWM recovery, I can make and restore my nandroid backup. Maybe I need to buy the paid version of Freegee??
no u don't need paid.
also I didn't have the unlock option and I was able to flash.
I would say try twrp.
also are u trying just 1 ROM or have to tried a couple. maybe do that

I already tried 3 different roms and they all turned out the same. Keep rebooting after 10 - 15 seconds. I might have to give twarp a try. thanks
Just wondering, what software version is your phone?

Check in CWM recovery, before you flash any of the ROM's that LOKI support is enabled, I think you can find it under Advanced and it says something like "Toggle LOKI support"

do I enable Loki after the flash or before the flash? Because I enable loki in the advance option of CWM recovery after I flash a custom rom and the phone still reboots 10-15 seconds. I did all the normal wipes and stuff too. I'm thinking maybe its because of I'm the software version that I'm on which is E98010g.
He said "check before you flash any rom,that LOKI support is enabled"... You should carefully read instructions before you do anything or you will end with bricked device...

For some reason Rom manager cwm didn't work for me so I tried installing freegee from the play store and installing cwm from there.
Since freegee my cwm works fine and I was able to flash.
Have you given freegee a try ?

I'm having the same trouble with recovery. I was on SlimBean for several months and decided to flash a ROM from RadeonMaya, but it wouldn't boot, so I tried to restore my backup of Slim from CWM. It looked like it restored properly, but it wouldn't boot either. I finally reverted back to stock and rooted again, downloaded Freegee and tried to flash CWM. I booted into recovery to flash my Slim backup, but I got an "error loki-ifying the boot image". I tried Phil's recovery, but couldn't boot back into recovery from CWM
Since then, I have not been able to flash anything, and have reverted back to stock probably a dozen times. I've tried TWRP, but can't flash a version that works on 4.1.2. I'm beyond frustrated at this point. I had fun flashing on this phone until these problems showed up, now I'm just going to try to like the stock ROM and hope we get an update to KitKat.
Just a quick question guys. What does freegee's "unlock" feature do? I ask because I don't get that option in Freegee either. Is it supposed to network unlock your phone or? Also, what is the need for the unlock?

I have the international LG Optimus G..
Can I use FreeGee for any thing ?
Will it give me CWM ?
seriously, how have you not found the info you need by searching? It's not like you're new either -.-
Anyway, it lets you unlock bootloader, gives you twrp which is a prefectly good replacement for cwm.

Yes, look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212323&highlight=freegee
To boot into recovery:
Power off
press volum UP + power, this gets you to the fastboot menu.
Now, press volume down TWICE, then Power.
Yes, only those two CM 10.1 so far. When most of the bugs they have are sorted out I think we can expect some different ones to show up (slim bean, pacman etc. I really don't know though)

Will I be able to flash new bootamimations ect like on Samsung Galaxy S3 with CWM ?
Is it posible to do full backup in TWRP and always have options to go back to stock rom ?
Will the ROM MANAGER backup/ Restore work or only in TWRP ?
Can I Lock bootloader again if it needs to be repaired ?
I think so, look in the theme & apps section. I tried changing the font through rom toolbox pro, gave me a softbrick. so be cautious.
Yes, you can always make a nandroid backup when you want. Just like cwm recovery
Well, rom manager is based on cwm, but nandroids should work regardless, you can set twrp as your recovery in rom manager.
I think you can relock the bootloader by using the kdz method to restore your phone to stock. Pretty sure its been asked before.
You can NOT use twrp recoveries in cwm, and vice versa!! Also, I have no idea how to get back twrp after flashing to cwm recovery without using a kdz recovery. Which basically wipes your phone.

Ya once you unlocked the bootloader and custom recovery installed yu can able to change the boot animations....pretty simple process.....yu can even do it without unlocking the bootloader nd witout custom recovery too but ur mobile must be rooted to do this process....using terminal emulator nd proper shell scripting its possible also we can use ly root explorer for this....

The CWM you flashed is a temporary one.
When you restart the phone into recovery, it goes into the original Samsung recovery, right? If so, then just re-flash the CWM. You'll need to do this every time to go into CWM.

I do not understand what you mean by "when im enter CWM not loaded". You need to flash the zip every time you want to run CWM, like you did the first time - somebody should correct me if I'm wrong.

what ROM do you use ?
when I was in stock MF1 I installed 6.0.2.8 (Shaaan thread, TY BTW) and it was temporary.
Then I flashed CM10.2 which installed me a new version of CWM (6.0.4.6) which is now persistent.
Can you develop a little bit more about your software configuration please ? ROM ? kernel ?

The problem is with custom roms and my screen driver s6d.
Unfortunately only with stock rom everything is working fine
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, it's supposed to say that.
Not trying to highjack this thread, but I have 2 relevant questions.
1)
On my E980, I tried using Freegee to install recovery like back on Jelly bean. Every time I do this now, Freegee says an exception was thrown and that E98020g is not supported.
When I use this apk to install the kitkat recovery, everything works fine. Weird thing though is that afterwards, Freegee stops spitting these errors at me.
Any idea what's up with this? Should I stick with the Kitkat recovery, or now use Freegee to install its CWM/TWRP recovery?
2)
(continuing from question 1)
A few hours ago (and all day yesterday too), I did try flashing CWM through Freegee and it worked. I then used that recovery to flash the PhilZ Touch recovery, which I like more. With both the Freegee CWM and the PhilZ recovery, I can do pretty much everything just fine.
But... the problem is that at random times, the PhilZ recovery will cause me to get stuck in a Recovery bootloop. Basically, every bootup forces me into recovery whether I'm holding the proper buttons during bootup or not. (NOTE: I have yet to stick with the Freegee recovery versions long enough to see if they do this too, but some other people are reporting CWM bootloops).
So question 2 is this:
Is this being caused by PhilZ not being fully Kitkat compatible?
Will this Kitkat CWM Recovery not do this? Every time it happens, I must reflash my phone using the tot method and it's getting tiring... been trying to get things working for a day now.

Philz touch cwm is a good one, you can find here on xda, or via Google search. However, my personal experience with cwm touch variant on e980 is that it causes the recovery bootloop (where you just keeps on going back to the recovery screen). Version 6.0.47 is stable , and will not cause the boot loop say when you try to open the recovery by using the up volume + power buttons. This seem to be the issue too with the cwm provided by cm update in the developer's option. Read the postings in the Philz's thread if you want to know more about the recovery loop and the touch cwm.
I get wrong date and time whene i make a backup. I have a E986. How can i fix this?
