I am sorry about the noobness but i cant seem to find a proper thread for recovery setup.
I installed ROM Manager and then the CWM recovery from there.
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 .
Can anyone here please help how i install CWM as i want to flas CM 11

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...

i did this as well and somehow now i can only get into twrp however i cant flash anything...any direction on this? i cant find the file i need to put on the sd card and flash thru twrp...any help?
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?
Hi Everyone,
Please help me if anyone have the stock recovery image file for lu 6200 or a method to extract the stock recovery from the phone for flashing the recoveryfile only to get back to stock recovery instead of flashing the whole phone to stock and doing all the setup and configurations.

---------
Here is the stock recovery I am able to extract from the 6200 can be flashback to phone atleast it worked for me.

u have to do flashing to load lg bootloader and with that bootloader installed u cant use cmw or modified rom. after alot of search, i have not found a way to boot into stock recovery once cmw is installed. u can instal rom mananger from playstore if ur phone is rooted than make a back up of ur rom on sd card plus all cmw recoveries provide backup but i found twrp recovery much better as it provide better ui and more functionality

I tried the rom manager but it can't extract the default recovery. However what I get now by searching for many hours that what I want is dumping the stock recovery and stock bootloader and combining into single .img file i.e bootl.img and recovery.img that I able to push back furing the normal running to get the stock recovery back and the bootloader without the ICE Engineer version showing after I flash the custom rom
twrp have the better ui but the one I found for 6200 have some problems I not remember but it had some issue mounting the system for wipe I think so I use the CMW instead both are good and perform the required function I suppose

well i took that file from freegee folder, maybe you must flash this file first
Download CWM OR TWRP without any hassle
Just download freegee(root) from Google play store and once installed and opened ....let it download the necessary....then just click on cwm or twrp as per ur wish ......u might then feel as if the app has frozen....but it is the process of downloading...... And once finished it will show flash successful ....
Works with 4.4.2?
I used the FreeGee app on stock 4.4.2 V20c earlier, but it bricked my device. Why is that? How do I install a recovery on 4.4.2?
i have a question on flashing the cwm recovery image, i had to go back to stock as i was soft bricked - i now need to install a recovery and i am sure that when i did this a few weeks ago on my g pro i used flashify and flashed the cwm recovery image through this app and everything works ed well, now i am trying to do it and it flashes the file but wont go into recovery - it says fastboot mode started but never goes into recovery, i also tried rom toolbox to flash it and not having any luck - anyone have a way to do this ?

I would like to install a CWM touch variant, is there a way to get it done with KK stock rom?
I know it needs to be "lokified", but I have no clue how to do this.
Is there any tutorial to do this?

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?
I have looked all over and see some threads overlapping other threads, however I am not finding anything for the D5316 Model. I am running Android 4.4.2 Build Number 19.1.A.0.486 The kernel version is from Thu Jul 17 10:07:21 2014. I would like to root and get recovery on it to try a faster rom and get rid of the Sony bloatware. If you have been successful or I missed a link on how to do that please point me in the correct direction...... Thank you in advance.

EDIT: Apparently, it's working now. All I had to do was reflash the ftf file in flashtool and it was able to keep the custom recovery and boot the phone past it....go figure.
Thanks for posting this, I am having some trouble myself and it's really frustrating. I am able to flash both CWM and TWRP. I am even able to boot into these recoveries but I cannot get the damn thing to boot past it. Pretty sure it's the kernel but I cannot find a place that will tell me step by step as to getting custom recovery on the model of this phone. I am still on 4.4.2. Can you please point me in the right direction?

Yes,
Basically what you have to do is download Dual Recovery and put it on your SD card or internal storage on the phone. Download Supersu 2.40 and do the same thing. Then go to the CWM recovery thread and download that. Follow the instructions there. Once you finish following the instructions just boot into CWM recovery, then flash Dual Recovery. Reboot the phone and wait until you see the green light. Press the down key once you see the green light. It should take you into TWRP. After that flash Super Su and then you reboot and let it boot all the way, done. Make sure you are bootloader unlocked and have working ADB AND FASTBOOT on your PC

Let's back up for a second.....
Give me a breakdown one more time from the very beginning.
1.unlock the bootloader
2. Download "dual recovery"and place on sd card
3. Download superuser and place on sd card
4. Install cwm recovery
5. Flash the dual recovery.....why? Is there something wrong with cwm?
6.Flash superuser
At what point is the phone rooted? Does flashing SU do that? I have used tools in the past on other phones. This is my first Sony phone.
If you care to, or the time to...could you please paste the links to each step (assuming I have them all correct or I am not missing something)
I really appreciate you helping this much I was ready to give up on this phone, cause I couldn't get any help! :what::banghead:
just the topic I was looking for!
mind if I follow this? I just bought this phone yesterday. Looking for a way to get Lollipop on it.
I was hoping to get a reply by now. Which model# do you have
I just flashed FXP ASOP 2/23 after I was able to get 2/08 running on the device and now the device won't boot past the android logo. I can get it flashboot mode and rewrite the 3 imgs (boot, system, and user data) however it still won't boot.
Any Ideas?

I am just trying to get root and recovery
I was able to get root by doing the following.
Flash the cwm boot.img. You will not be able to boot android but you will be able to boot to recovery.
Flash the dual recovery from cwm. Go ahead and flash supersu zip as well.
Reboot. Wait till you see the green light (not pink) flash and press the volume down button to boot to twrp or volume up to boot phils recovery.
I used twrp. Once in TWRP, I flashed the rooted stock firmware (mainly to restore a fully working boot.img), and reflashed dual recovery from twrp. Also flash the newest supersu zip.
Maybe a easier way, but worked for me.
i wiped the phone back to a clean superzen, took the fresh copy of the most up to date stock from the asus website for my 55ml z00ad and took the whole folder and put it in my phones sd card. i booted into twrp and tried to go to install.... it cant find it period and nothing comes up under install zip or install image.
can someone please help me? i just want to put the most up to date firmware stock back on my phone because ive had quite a few issues with superzen and compatibility with games due to older firmware version.
