[Q] How install Clockwork Mod in Lg Optimus G

Hi guys! I create a new thread cause its the 4th time I brick and restore my phone cause can't install the clockwork mod.
Please, tell me how I do this?!
My phone its correct rooted, and installed the freegee (bootloader).
My steps:
After root and install and execute the freegeee.apk
I download the CWM app in the play store, and press Flash clockwork mod etc....
After all this stuffs doing write I turn of my phone and press VOL UP + POWER to try enter in CWM
And my phone apper the fastboot mode, so I guess the CWM dont work well.
I enter in the official website of CWM and download the last CWM for my phone, but this file is [.img] and all the tutorials saying to put the .zip file in SDcad and try to install.
So, I dont wanna brick my phone again, but somebody can tell me how I install the CWM without apps, from maybe fastboot or adb using the .img file?!
Please, help me guys!
Thx.

Man, this question must be in Q&A section. To enter recovery isn't with the VOL UP, is the VOL DOWN. If doesn't work install rom manager or titanium backup (i prefer this) to enter in recovery directly from the system. Use the TWRP that is in the freegee app, is better than CWM in my opinion

Sorry man, for the wrong post.. some admin can change?
About your awnser, VOL DOWN (dont do nothing, my phone blink LG logo and like turn it off, and return with lg logo again.... ) do this until I stop press the combination buttons.
And using your tip (install rom manager) I've installed but if something gone wrong in flash the custom rom I can't enter in CWM and gonna need flash original firmware again and do all the stuffs to return my phone works again.
And I get lost with TWRP cause first time I installed appear to me a password... I never had a password, so I deleted all and install again..
Any other tips? to install CWM.img not zip?

Don't worry bro haha. That's odd, I've just installed the twrp recovery from freegee and use the "restart device" from Titanium to enter recovery and don't appear a password try the simples passwords (1,2,3,4...1,2,3,4,5 or another similar) but generally don't ask for password

similar issue
Hi, I don't know if I should make a separate post but I have a similar problem.
My Note 2 is stuck on the "Samsung GALAXY Note II GT-N7100" screen at boot. Only by flashing a stock ROM through ODIN can this be fixed. When I try to install a custom recovery and ROM on it, it gets stuck again at that screen.
Can anyone help me?

Hold down power button for 5~10 secs. after it stucks on boot logo, and try if it reboots normally.
Or press Vol. up + Menu key and then power key for 5~10 secs it'd boot your phone into recovery mode.

Please reread my post. It's a persistent issue. Rebooting doesn't do anything. Recovery doesn't do anything.

What you willing to do? so I can guide you through the right way.

I was wondering if anyone had a similar issue to mine and how to flash a custom rom after that. The only way I've found for the phone to work was to use ODIN to flash the stock firmware on it. After that, if I try to install a custom ROM, it goes back to the SAMSUNG screen at boot.
So if you, jikre, know how to fix this issue, I'm all ears.

This method has fixed numerous problems. Might be worth a try.

Download a stock firmware and use ODIN v3.09 to flash it onto your phone. It should work.

If you wanted to install custom rom, if so, you can't flash it through Odin (Only for flashing for Official stuff ). Download a custom rom, whichever you wanted(Copy that rom on externel SD), reboot into recovery and by selecting 'wipe data and cache' >> 'clean to install a new rom'.
Then again coming to main menu select Install zip from sd, and redirect it to rom file which you've downloaded. In any custom rom like DN3, SenSonic they've full procedure for flashing the rom, just stick to it to install it perfectly...
Any quest?

Got you man, i'm just saying that this problem of yours is come with the Andro v4.3 and knox bootloader. First if anyone tried to install custom recovery it get stuck on bootlogo, but that is an another factor you can reboot it manually into recovery menu.
On the end when you attempt to reboot (from recovery) it asks you to disable stock recovery and you reboot your phone normally, that's it!

Ah okay, that makes sense. Unfortunately that doesn't apply to my situation. I had already been on a 4.3 custom rom for several months when the phone just died like that. As of right now, I can only get it to work if I flash a stock ROM on it.

I have used both CWM and TWRP recoveries. Complete wipe every time before installing a new ROM. Still doesn't work. Only wiping and installing stock firmware through ODIN would the phone start.

Which ROM you tried to flash? Can you upload a pic of PC Odin, showing how you flash the phone. Or just enlist the options.
Try flashing your phone by philz touch ('Wipe Data & Cache >> Clean to Install a New ROM" << Maybe your previous installation troubling to set a new one, If persist again try this method):

You can't boot straight to recovery? What do you mean when a rom is installed it gives you that error? If I remember right that is because the bootloader is still locked. Have you tried the hard recovery boot combo? I think it is power and volume up, then you should see bootloader, volume up and down change the options, when it says recovery press the power button.
Check this thread for brick repair,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230106
It will help you get into recovery and have a rom installed.
If you are looking for stock I suggest this thread for the rom once you can get into recovery.

Your right, I couldn't unlock it. I tried freegee and I got it unlocked with that. What a pain in the butt this phone has been..

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.

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.

[Q] Problem with boot.img from Cyanogenmod 12.1

Hey,
I have a problem when i try to install CM 12.1 on my old Xperia M (C1905).
I have flashed the 15.4.A.1.9 FW on my phone, then extracted the boot.img from the CM12.1.zip and flashed it via Flashtool.
When i now start my Phone and Press the Vol+ Button when the LED appears the LED just get Cyan and thats it. Nothing happend, no Recovery, just nothing...
If anybody could help me, that would be very nice.
BTW: Yes, the Bootloader is unlocked.

which build did you install it? if you did first install you need custom recovery from your rom and then you can install cm to your devices.
first you need FOTA Recovery for your primary recovery, see in this thread for installation http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58515383&postcount=1
. i suggest you to install twrp version 2.8.7.0 and turn on your device, after that connect it to your pc via adb and do dd if command.
after complete, restart your phone and go to recovery mode and you can flashing safely without any worries again
if you have any question just ask me again

As you are on stock ROM, you need Stock Recovery, flash this.. now boot to recovery. install CM12.1...
(FOTA Recovery will not Work on Stock, because stock kernels doesn't support extract_elf_ramdisk utility. )
