I dont think its a locked bootloader, but more of a secured boot. Check the lgsecurity.rc in the ramdisk. I think it checks the radio baseband on boot, same with reg boot, but just adding that file to cwm doesnt seem to resolve the issue. LG has started to use some new ways of making it dificult for us lately esp with ICS.

I'm talking with a few of the cwm devs. So hopefully this can be resolved. ;)

still just waiting on someone to test :P
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] jimhon:
Hi SP,

I tested this command and got this program installed on my pc (pls, refer to attached image)..what does it do?

I just restart my device after the reboot recovery command then everything backs to normal again..thanks
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] frolex67:
So the recovery stage where?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] jimhon:
It just stopped right there after the recovery boot command then installed the "asus android bootloader interface" on my pc..that's it..I think I have to try it again after the interface install?

---------- Post added at 02:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 AM ----------

So what else to do?...maybe have to try again later
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
so what is going on with the phone?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] edwartwidianta:
Well, here is my report:

LG-P705

V10C for Indonesia (ESA)

No NFC, 5MP camera, 512M RAM, Single.core 1G

32GB SD Card Class 10

Instantly rooted using the exploit without downgrade to V10A Europe Open

Install shabbypenguin recovery.img using terminal emulator --> succeed

Boot into recovery using adb--> succeed

Boot into recovery using ROM Manager --> succeed

Previously it will do factory reset if you try to boot into recovery using adb or ROM Manager

Boot into fastboot --> succeed (previously it did not recognized by fastboot)

Try fastboot oem unlocked --> fastboot says OK

It's a big leap after few days nothing :D
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
ok great to hear. is CWM fully working? mind doing a backup? dont do a restore though, you would risk a brick :)
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] deksiberu:
if it's secure boot then we should ask Qualcomm right?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
well going by the last few post, its just a matter of getting cwm right and not locked at all. But no the carrier or LG would be who you would contact if it were locked. ;)

if it were a secure boot, it will eventually get figured out n worked around ;)
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] pkatsaras:
I already wrote in the tut that propably this will happen. It happened to me too but I didn't have to reset supercharger settings. Try the boom stick option 15. to see what will happen and maybe one of the 11, 12 or 13 option. As long as you have it with the extra 50%, then it should work fine for you...
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] FailX:
For now: black screen only and seems like nothing is working (tried to reach "power off" and "reboot system now" but no luck)

Maybe if you try these images, took them from V10A and they have different MD5-sums than the previously posted

Maybe this will help, the ZTE Blade II runs very similar hardware
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
ok here is cwm attempt #2 this time i added a custom graphics.c and changed the fstab around a bit

www.shabbypenguin.com/OUDstuff/LG/P700/cwmrecoveryt2.img

p.s. its good to see that despite you flashing a custom recovery

somehow

the bootloader didnt secure itself and lock your out ;P
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] FailX:
no noticeable change on v2
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] edwartwidianta:
Hi shabbypenguin,

I cannot see any difference.

Still blank screen as try No 1
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
while you have the blacnk screen up, connect your device up to the pc and do adb devices to see if it show it in recovery.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] frolex67:
did not show, moreover, he did not even reboot:cowboy:
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] FailX:
No, but the PC plays the "USB device connected" sound, so at least it is recognized (but without installing a driver or showing up in device manager)
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
I am assuming the LG USB drivers etc etc etc are installed??? The phone wouldnt attempt to install drivers from recovery. ;)

Hello i was afk few days.... now to respond on some msgs....

L3 have stock 2.3 android and l3 doesn't have secure boot so making of cwm recovery was easy...

If we get bl unlocked from paul before we raise money i will send back all money back - i don't need it....

Regarding root script, i read alot about rooting metods and learnid this exploit for android emulator and temp root access i just followed what i learned and made the scrip...

Regarding cwm recovery ive made one and test it in virtual android device with l7 properties and system.img and it was working there... now when we find way to disable secure boot we will be able to boot in cwm recovery.... My recovery can be found here.....

btw i uploaded this cwmrecovery image to my dropbox folder 18/07...

gonna check it out...

ps.if anything is left unexplained, ask me now and i will responde...
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
your own posts betray you. here you clearly state you got root using dan's method, yet somehow that post disappeared? the only one i see now is the one with your name all over the script. and the exploit he used on the droid 3

again the emulator is a hunk of crap made to test android apps... nothing more. testing anything for your device on it is like saying you made sure your software runs great on the EVGA GeForce GT440 because you ran it on a pc some where at some point.

as for your recovery... based off "your rom" chosen by a few options in dsxidias kitchen (the first clue was your updater script and how when someone flashes it displays "made from dsxidias kitchen"), your wild claims about a locked bootloader, how you have an amazingly awesome kernel that is overclocked... forgive me if i dont believe your custom recovery is truly what you claim it is.

i asked for proof about secure boot. there may indeed be something here that ive seen before on the optimus elite, however it isnt a locked bootloader. so far all ive got is a photo of a screen showing what for all i know could be a picture in your gallery. people have flashed the cwm i compiled it isnt displaying anything but then again its also not booting up to some secure error about how it wont boot. on the motorola photon we did a lot of testing to see how to bypass the locked bootloader. anytime you loaded a custom kernel/recovery you would get a boot error code and thats all your phone would do. this doesnt appear to be the same situation.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] BGDonLINE:
For me android emulatro is doing the trick in testing you have right for your opinion....

Recovery is mine and i compiled it from source using porting tutorial..... About boot it's protectet by secure serts and lg sign key, so it's locked... about your cwm you yust booted in fastboot nothing more if your recovery where working it would print secure booting error..... catch me on gtalk and ill show you all the steps i did in cwm recovery porting emulation and messing with the kernel and last not least i have new idea on which you can help me and we will make working recovery....

Generally i don't have any reason to lie or anything i don't have nothing from it i just want to make this phone even better....
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
Shabby knows how to build CWM and when he hits a snag I help him out as I dont well know how to build it. If it had a locked bootloader it wouldnt boot at all when you flash the recovery (in my experience). Not I wont doubt it has some sort of secure boot happening as it was ran into in on a ICS leak for another LG device. I think it doing more of a checksum or something on the other partitions, failing n thus not booting, if that is the case. So far it doesnt appear to be, but rather cwm needing a graphics.c when compiled. It will prolly also need another file if it has the LG fact reset screen so the button combo can be used n not get stuck in a cwm bootloop.

Been really hard to tell with the feedback, no offense to anyone, its just not very clear of what its doing. ;)

Oh and the emulator is useless except for apps unless you have a Nexus, GNexus, or Nexus 7, of a device very similar to those. ;)
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] BGDonLINE:
You can change android build files so it works like our phone....

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] jimhon:
Have you correctly installed the L7 drivers at first post? if not install it then run again the L7 root.bat by double clicking it...when it starts to reboot

unplug your device for a

few second

s then,as you start to see the LG red splash logo plug the device again...it will reboot twice (you can see it on the dos prompt on your pc) the it will show your phone is rooted.check out the root checker application on market to verify root access..

hope this helps..for me I tried at least twice before successfully rooted..cheers

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] chistoph:
Does it work better "ram manager" than the memory manager that comes with the "rom toolbox"?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] jimhon:
Though I haven't install rom tool box on my device yet for some reason that our device is not yet fully unlocked, but I find a way to speed it up for the meantime by installing advance task killer (check it out on the market how it works) and auto killer memory optimizer freeing more ram on our device, now I got at least max. 165mb to 125mb of free ram vs 50mb to 35mb before I use this application.Now I can run spb shell 3d as my main launcher without slowing down:highfive:
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] h4oxer:
RAM is designed to be fully used. It's a myth that free RAM speeds up your phone. Overclocking and odexing speeds up your phone. A taskmanager is only helpful if you want to stop or close ONE single app. You experience your phone running faster as part of a placebo effect. "I freed RAM , so my phone will run faster".

Android system is built to have his RAM fully occupied. It only means the more RAM you have the more applications you can run simultaneously. For example if you autokill your Camera app. Everytime you want to take a photograph the Android system will need to start the whole app again. Instead of leaving it in RAM, it's only necessary to take it out of stand-by mode.

If you really want to use an app manager, you should chose one that monitors CPU. It will notify you if an app uses a lot of CPU power, so you can act accordingly. An example of a certain app is Watchdog Task Manager. But their are plenty more.

Hope you've understand the quick memory management lesson for Android ;)

I am not an expert about v6, the only thing besides the tutorial I can advice you is to instal the Nitro Lag Nullifier. You will see it inside v6 supercharger. You just select the number it says and you install it...You will understand what I am saying as soon as you install v6... :victory:

I got 50% for first running. Then there was an option, so i choose 5. It ran again with 50% result.

Then i restart the phone and run the script again. I got 0% !! :(

Then i choose option 5. After it finished, i got 50%.

Is this normal? Sorry, noob here...

Should i run it everytime i reboot my phone?

Thanks for any response.
