[Q] About ClockWorkMod Recovery for Optimus G

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2462938
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℅

[Q] Error loki-ifying the boot image when flashing ROM

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.

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

[Q] Recovery for stock kitkat e980? (att)

How do i get recovery for this on the latest kitkat update? Ive been looking everhwhere, and obviously not hard enough because i cant find it. Heck there may not even be a way yet.
I tried to use that freegee app. Fail.
Tried to use that app with the egyptian icon and i got recovery. But its for a different model g pro because its not letting me flash crap.
All i want is cm11. Help please. Thanks.

I used the two methods you described. Freegee used the cwm 6.0.4.7 version. Then switched to philz 6.41.6 always say no to recovery and su fix on exit. But cwm 6.0.4.7 worked fine.

I used this process but with the restore file from this post. Worked out very well for me.

I wouldn't try leaving any ROM that long as it can mess up your phone. Android L should boot in about 10-20 minutes. Any other ROM is less than 10. If you don't see any progress next time I suggest turning it off after about 30 minutes and trying something else.
Try the soft brick fix thread. Flash the teeny bin file and go into recovery and try another ROM.

Your phone is international so you need to use the international teeny bin info. Plus you'll probably have better luck getting help in the international forum.

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?
