EDIT: Don't know what I did, but I got it to work... just put it on 3GQCT and EMERGENCY (even though I did not put my phone on Emergency mode) and tried again... and it worked.

I still got the same crash error, but this time, just right after it finished installing the firmware and I was safe!

HELP!!

I tried flashing the firmware to get rid of branding, and now my cellphone keeps saying "Download in progress. Do not disconnect cable."

I could not put my phone into emergency mode (tried vol up + power button... vol up + vol down + power button... nothing worked...).

So I went with USB debugging on, and flashed using 3GQCT and DIAG.

When I tried to flash it my KDZ UPDATER gets an error and windows closes it!

Now when I try to flash it I get this msg: Model dll msg not found.

What's the matter?

Installation of CWM

I started a new thread with guide and updated files here.

The recovery file that was posted here is now named CWM5... in that thread

Unrelated: I also found a github for L5's kernel: https://github.com/pinkflozd/LG-L5_Kernel
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] urobbot:

At this point the two options are:

-Modify CWM from L3 to make it work on L5

-Build a new CWM for L5

Why I say that this version is only for the "look." I think today or tomorrow finished."

I don't totally get what he means, but I will check the tread again tomorrow

I still think it isn't bad to build one ourselves. We would only learn from it ;)

A few days ago someone was able to unlock the bootloader. Today some guy on a Russian forum posted a working CWM (which requires an unlocked boot loader). Having CWM on our phones will open opportunities to install stuff on our phones, for example custom firmware, like Cyanogen Mod. At the moment custom firmware isn't available, but can flash some of the modifications you find on XDA (or other sources)
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] E.jr:
YEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWW

I thought I would never see this day. I had a tiny problem though.

I got ''directory not found'' errors when trying 'dd if=/sdcard/emmc_appsboot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5' and 'dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17'.

If you also get these errors, try 'dd if=/sdcard/external_sd/emmc_appsboot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5' and 'dd if=/sdcard/external_sd/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17' instead, that worked for me.

1)Root

2)Bootloader unlock

3)costum recovery

4) GOT CWM

5) Ultra pimp the rom via Pimp my rom application (really good and working) I also installed several mods on our phone and I would like to warn you about the beats audio installer. When I installed the beats on our phone the music played from headphones was really good but without headphones I couldn't hear anything due to parasites sounds

I uploaded it as attachment my previous post (recovery-updated.rar)
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] urobbot:

I think now he has finished the backup function but it's not fully tested yet.

And maybe we could update the download link of cwm to the final version.

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] urobbot:
I just downgraded rom from 10L to 10B, and i noticed a change in the display,

in particular with 10B moving lightly the phone, i can see a little texture (like very small checkered) , and it disappears if i hold the phone still, this didn't happen with 10L

I am not high, did anybody else noticed this? maybe later we can port 10L display configuration to our custom roms.

For seeing the difference CWM screen does not have that problem, it is like 10L

EDIT: I flashed unofficial 10B because official 10B gave me random reboots, and unofficial rom doesn't give me display problems nor reboot problems,

only complaint about unofficial rom is the lack of italian language support (not really a big problem) and the lack of NFC, which i would like to have in our next custom rom

This time cwm flashed it successfully but at the reboot the phone stucks at a black screen

I think the problem is in META INF folder which i didn't found unpacking unofficial 10B, and so i couldn't modify properly.

We should find or build a script-updater file (inside meta-inf) appropriate to our phones to make custom roms

And i won't try againt before a working CWM, this one doesn't restore backups and it is very annoying to kdz every time.

It's possible that it doesn't solve your problem, because they are not from the same firmware version, as you are running. If you reflash the KDZ you used, these files will also be replaced and your problem will be solved, but you may lose userdata and settings.

spoiler (+ / -) isn't a command to be typed, it's just a result of the copy-paste from the other forum, ignore it

If you are not practical with linux shell commands, be careful! the commands in the guide makes delicate actions and possibly dangerous.

Indeed i suggest you to follow this guide, that is comprehensive of CWM flashing

Also you must have adb installed on your computer to input command from the computer, otherwise you can use a terminal emulator on your phone (in that case don't do the adb shell command as it's useless)

Finally, reboot is a command that reboots your phone, use it from terminal, is more safe that rebooting the phone normally, especially in the case of "reboot recovery"
