I modified a TWRP installer with this CWM. Replaced TWRP with CWM on my E986 and it works. Updated adb.exe to work with 4.4.
To install just extract the zip contents and run the batch file.

It works. I installed it on 4.4, by the way.
Thanks a lot.

Any chance for a flashable zip file please?

Is it lokified? Can you flash Madmacks 4.4 KitKat with this recovery?
Thanks in advance.

Nevermind, I read your signature and you updated it with the new recovery, thanks!

No, you can't flash those files, but if you want to update CWM, why don't you install Philz recovery for the e980, it is great.

I have a e986 german with Stock 20a EU 4.4.2
If I installed cwm it gives me a boot loop into recovery. So I must install my rom via kdz tool and so I have no recovery yet. I found no way to flash a working recovery and unlock bootloader for my phone.
Can I flash this under e986eu20a?

It is possible, but i don't have 802 phone to test.

There needs to be one of these for all models. Can you possibly make it available for the Verizon's lg g2?

Sorry, but i only have 805 for testing. But you can use this rom, just replace all .img inside it from Verizon .kdz or .tot

So first we unzip ur rom,then we use that tot/kdz extractor tool n extract the vs980 kdz/tot and replace all the img files from ur rom w the img files from the vs980 kdz then zip it back up right?
edit: oh also does this wipe internal storage like actually flashing a tot/kdz or do you keep the stuff on data/media?

Yes this is correct.
And by doing this will wipe everything, the same as flashing kdz

[Q] Manually update LG G3 firmware

Hi, I have a rooted (via Purpledrake) bumpd LG G3 V10h-EUR. I've found autoprimes thread re: updating firmware manually http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/psa-stop-taking-ota-updates-update-t2909412
I've followed all the instructions and everything went well but I have one question. I've extracted all the files and merged system.img. My question is, the modem and boot 'imgs' extracted from the dz have the 'bin' extension. I understand I have to rename the files before flashing (using Flash2 zips), does that include changing the extension from bin to 'img' OR have I done something wrong and there should be files somewhere in the extracted folder with the correct extension?
Thanks all

Just to say, I manually updated my G3 to V10L without issue.
And I just want to point out to anyone manually updating for the first time (like me) that they may find that TWRP takes a while to flash the 'system.img' (at least 4-5 mins for me). I was panicking thinking it had all gone
wrong as nothing was happening on the screen, lol, but it was fine in the end...be patient!
No data was lost after flashing system, boot and modem imgs. Root was temporarily lost but TWRP fixed that and for anyone running the Xposed Installer I had to go into that and click 'Install/Update' and everything was back to as it was.

[Q] I want to root my lollipop version on my Z1 Compact

I tried to update to lollipop and root it but to of no avail. I tried to read many blogs and F*pieces but can not get any thing good. I am using KitKiat 4.4.4 14.A.0.157 rooted. I want to download the latest lollipop version and root it with Custom recovery. I do not want any messed with custom lollipops as i do not trust other people easily. If there is some smooth tool method to simply click and run root method , kindly share with me. If it is not possible and the only way to get a rooted lollipop is by using custom messed up lollipop ftf then paste it here in great simple details I am ready to follow this method. Thanks :laugh::laugh::silly::silly::silly::highfive::highfive:

2. Using Flash Tool to create your own TFT.
3. Using PRFCreator (Pre-Rooted Firmware Creator developed by zxz0O0) to create your own flashable zip file of Pre-rooted Lollipop firmware.
You may also need SuperSU Update and XZDualRecovery

On my Z1c Lollipop i become no root access. Not with prerooted flashable zip and not with my selfmade flashable zip.
My Z1c is LB and on rooted .108 firmware. After flash preerooted Lollipop the SuperSu app gives my Apps rootaccess, but the apps mean no root viable. (TitaniumBackup or SD-Maid)
Why?

If for some reason the "downloaded prerooted" method does not work, whatever went wrong will probably also prevent your selfmade zip from working. So I'd try to get the downloaded one to work before trying a homegrown one.

That method will work as long as You have a root, no matter the version. So You can use the 4.4.4 one with root access too.

Hi can you be more specific on what to wipe at philz touch because there are lots to wipe options in the philz recovery, do i have to wipe all? also from twrp's recovery so please be specific what to wipe because im afraid to wipe all that doesnt have to be wiped,
also after installing flashable zip in the recovery turning off the phone isn't an option there is only restart button there so is it alright to reboot phone after installing flashable zip in recovery then just turn it off after and continue to using flashtool?
and last one, at using flashtool ist it the stock firmware that i need to flash? is it alright to exclude all? or do i have to check the wipes there and also the kernels below excluding system only? thanks

Hi, I tried this multiple times, im rooted 4.4.4 then installed dual recovery then from one of those recovery then i installed "flashsable.zip" after installing flashable zip which is in "step 5" you mentioned turning off phone, do i really need to do the "step 6"? because i notice something in step 5 since after installing the flashable zip thru recovery there is no turn off option so i choose to reboot then i noticed i started my phone with lollipop installed and superSU installed, but i still did whats in your procedure which makes things complicated since i thought if i didnt continue to the whole process maybe something might go wrong , so i turned off my phone and continued to step 6, i flashed my phone using the stock firmware of lollipop then what happened is the superSU is gone.
so my main point is do i really have to continue to step 6?? or even just up to step 5 is fine?
if continuing to step 6 is important please be more specific thanks

You have to do Step 6 just in case flashable zip file contain SYSTEM ONLY (include Options were not checked when using PRFCreator).
In Step 6, flash your phone with FTF file EXCLUDE SYSTEM. That mean you need to check on System Option within the box of Exclude.

Folks, we already have a thread covering EXACTLY this question - was it really necessary to open a new one to ask all questions over and over again?
Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...lp/rooting-z1-compact-stock-lollipop-t3090021
The instructions included there helped me getting from rooted .157 to rooted Lollipop without touching my locked Bootloader, so they might work for others as well.

Even though the camera result looks great in this new OS, but the OS new design theme looks sluggish. I do not feel it is working like it should. I mean a very bad version from SONY. KitKat theme was way more simpler and lighter than this lollipop ****piece. Besides cleanmaster keeps telling me the RAM USAGE around 68%-70% all the time:silly:, even though I applied the same precautions I had on kitkat installation. Kitkat used to run on 70% in heavy usage, otherwise it would run lighter around 46% RAM.
Summing up. Lollipop Version for SONY PHONES, SUCKS

You can dump your system.img from device using Send_Command.exe and edit build.prop inside the image

yeah, i had thought about it . However, I don't now which commands use to extract and flashing the image back . I did something similar to flash the root img when I was using the lollipop .
I tried to extract the .cab file to get system.img within the KDZ , but he always gives error. I am following some guides on how to extract files .kdz .

You have to use the same commands from Lollipop on Marshmallow.

I could not find anywhere else on how to extract the system.img image from my phone using send_comand .
I tried in every way to extract the KDZ , but without success , it seems that the old tutorials do not work in the new KDZ :crying:

I managed to pull the system.img to my folder of the phone. I can see the file, but I get an error when copying it to the PC. I used the following code
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=8192 skip=55296 count=529920 of=/data/media/0/system.img

When trying to copy by using adb pull , he says I 'm not allowed . The file is in the / sdcard / .

What are u guys doing. I just use build prop editor. I has a ls991. I dont have to dimp my system image.
Sorry apparantly i didnt read. Didnt see no root

The idea is sound, as the bootloader lock should only check for an unmodified boot image (kernel).
Theoretically you could install exposed, etc. on the image. I had it in mind to build something for the Canadian variant once I have time.

Yes, the Sprint LG G4 staff even has a modified system.img marshmallow . I believe I'm 90 % of been way , just need to figure out how to get permission to move the system.img from / sdcard / to my PC.

Check out the low effort root thread, there are commands for dumping the system partition for each model. You'll then need a Linux distribution installed to mount and modify the image. There are also instructions for flashing modified system image back to the phone in the thread through download mode commands. Be very careful you are using the right command for your model.
If I have time I'll try to get more details to you but you should be able to find everything you need right here on XDA.

Thank you so much guys! I managed to extract and edit the system.img on ubuntu and I've done the flash. Everything working 100% , finally my phone seems to have 5.5 -inch true. I'm using 530dpi now modified in build.prop without adb bugs (Marshmallow ROM)
I took the trip and already and enabled all apps in double window too!

I'm running here without any problem ! No graphic bug or something , everything ok! You can install Xposed only in img, without root?
I would like to disable some apps and install some who originally comes in .zip format , but need to research about it

I checked before, xposed without root should be okay, just need to replace the correct file on the system image.

I will replace and pasted the files downloaded from Xposed .zip. From what I saw in the scripts, there is no line to be added. But I will not have time for flash in this week ..
