[Q] Stock recovery

hey guys, i flashed stock recovery from Hasoon's Toolkit.but when i boot into bootloader and select recovery.it shows an exclamation mark in red.....why does the recovery not open????

Because you need to press vol up + power to get into stock recovery.
But why do you want to go into stock recovery ?
If you want to flash a custom ROM, you need a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP.
P.S Never ever press Vol up + Power when you are at any other screen other than after you select recovery as it may brick your device.

[Q] Before flashing.

This is my first post:silly:
I would like to ask do I need a stock 4.1 android before flashing CM11. No website says such a thing but the original thread says yes.
Also how to install CWM on Xperia m because I am lost...:silly:
Please help and thanks if anyone does :angel:
Oh and also how to get back to stock 4.1.2 then

Not necessary, but if something goes wrong while flashing custom ROM, you will need that stock ROM to flash.
It is always good to have stock firmware..
for the CWM, first of all you need to unlock your bootloader.(i assume that you unlocked it.) and download cwm file and extract it on desktop then go to flashtool and conect your mobile in fastboot (use volume + key) blue light will appear.
click on flash button- fastboot- flash kernel.after finish start your mobile and start pressing volume + key..you will boot in recovery mode.
Thanks if helped

How to get into recovery from g2 apps rom v5?

Posting here since I can not post on the development board yet.
F240L here, coverted it to e988 using the g2 apps rom v5 and i'm pretty happy with it but had some questions.
1. How do I get into recovery? Should I use the recovery app in the utility apps folder? Or is it safer to get into recovery when booting up?
2. Can I update to v5.5 from v5? Or do I have to go back to stock and then go to v5.5? Im guessing going back to my backup before flashing the rom would work, but it would be nicer if I could skip that step.
Any answers would be appreciated, thanks!

You can boot into recovery with whatever apps in utility folder, freegee offers a reboot function too. I don't think there is such a thing as it is safer to boot into recovery from powered off, I forgot the key combination for booting into recovery from powered off . You don't have to go back to stock to "upgrade" to v5.5. You probably won't see much improvement , also there's been report of instability of the v5.5 build.

For boot into cwm: volume up, home and power off/on button

Thanks for the replies, guess I'll hold off on changing to v5.5 then.

Suffice to say it would be safe for you as well to know how to boot to recovery manually, especially when in bootloop situations. On my part I'm able to boot to recovery by 1.) pressing and holding both Vol. Up button and Power button, up until LG Logo appears then 2.) Once the LG screen disappears, i just constantly press Vol. down button twice then Power button afterwards. If the LG Logo re-appears i just keep on doing step 2.
As for g2 apps v5.5 rom, i just flashed it today,i'll try to be your notify you of any glitches i may encounter

Unable to flash philz touch 6.41.6

i just flashed Phoenix V18.8 rom and when i reboot, i plan to check on the recovery mode but it shown me download mode instead of recovery mode...
both power button + home + up/down goes into download mode...
try to use odin3.07 to flash philz_touch_6.41.6-n7100.tar.md5 which i get from here http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/n7100
but every times it just said " Pass " and reboot....and goes in back to my Phoenix rom(i mean go into android system)....and i power it off...try again...still became download mode...any help?? :crying::crying::crying:

You do know that go into recovery mode you got to press volume UP ,home button and power button, (volume down ,home and power is for download mode) Just retry pressing the correct buttons. Doens't phoenix rom have extended power menu where when you click on reboot from the ROM/Android system you get options of going into recovery/download/reboot?

Yes I do press the correct button,
Up+home+power
And
I did reatart into recovery but it turns me into download mode...which I don't know why after I flashed v18.8 phoenix rom....
It's not exactly the same as down+home+power download mode wherby this step show me whether I want to go into download mode by pressing up or restart by pressing down...
But the "recovery mode" which turns into download mode...it didn't ask me anything and directly turns into download mode

Is it safe for that? Since phoenix rom request me to use philz touch?
I have tried flashing CWM recovery but it ends up with screen flickering or flashing with Galaxy Note II logo if I enter the recovery mode

A recovery is a recovery what a rom states is what they think works best to flash it. If you are having trouble I would use twrp as its good at flashing roms to.

Turn off your phone,
Press three buttons simultaneously &
Release power button when note2 N7100 logo appears.
Plus, install mobile odin pro from play store & Forget PC Odin things. & flash Stock Roms , recovery(all .Tar files) stuff at your fingertips & on the go.
Except if you want to flash bootloader then of course it requires PC odin.

How to Enter Recovery Mode on LG G Pro

shutdown it down - turn off the phone wait few secs before going to next step
hold volume up button while holding power button also
when lg logo appear release/unpress power button just for a sec or two and then press and hold it back
Done
if its not working, it must be, u dont have recovery installed
use freegee to install one

hi
I dont understand
I try alot off time but dont secsuss

Assuming that the phone's power is off:
Hold down volume up button, then push the power button and hold it down. Count to 4 and stop holding the power button, but keep holding the volume up button. You should see the lg logo and then your recovery 5 ~ 7 seconds afterwards. Btw, which recovery are you using?

Custom recovery?
Is there a way to install a custom recovery on this phone? I read conflicting reports. I'm on 4.4.2 rooted and would to make a back up of my system, add zips, etc.

Have you try freegee in the play store? It installs the older version of cwm or twrp, but it's a start. Once you install the custom recovery, you can try flashing the newer version such as Philz cwm or newer version of twrp.

thanks
i do all this but no chances to enter into recovery
can help me with a video for that method

check if u have recovery mode installed
get FreeGee
and boot to it

I tried that before and got error messages. Some people say it worked and some say they had to wipe everything and it still did not work. Maybe the newer version works as I tried this 2 months ago.

Are you rooted?

i'll try to help u
first just make sure that your device is rooted, download Optimus G Pro Custom recovery (try to search on google, i found many links last time i download it), install that .apk on your device and then run it, choose flash recovery, and then choose reboot recovery. you will have recovery now. hope this helps. :angel:

Heyy! I wanna install twrp and then install cm12 nightly but I've read on other threads that flashing twrp directly will brick my phone and I'll have to install cwm first then cwm touch then twrp from there but on another thread it tells me to directly install twrp from freegee on stock JB.
Can anyone explain this to me? It's really confusing and I wanna know if flashing twrp will brick my phone. Im on stock kk but ill go back to JB and try it. Someone tell me if thats a good idea?

While you're on stock ROMs, just use Philz Touch. But if you ever go to like CyanogenMod or any other non-stock ROM. Flash that ROM with Philz Touch, then flash official TWRP. After, you can stay on TWRP once running a custom ROM.
