Problem with lg l5

I have big problem with my LG L5 E610 - I've rooted it with method shown above and everything went fine, it was rooted successfully but today I've downloaded some font changer from google store (can't remember the name of app, was that one with big green "A" letter), then changed font into one that looked nice for me. After that, Ive decided to return to previous, original one, but I couldnt find any "restore defaults" option in app, so I've just entered system/fonts and then taped to install one of the fonts provided. My phone rebooted, and since then it is stucked after LG logo, on my provider logo.

I was able to find some info's already, that it could be a fastboot problem, tried to flash stock soft with KDZ, but KDZ says that 'no phone was connected', and when I press -vol and plug it without battery to PC, I have black screen with code on it stopped in a:

fastboot mode started
udc.start()
-- reset --
-- portchange --
-- reset --
-- portchange --
-- fastboot: processing commands --

Can someone help me with that?

Successfully ROOTED!

I got the solution to my problem! I set the install-location to "2". That means save the apps to ext SD. I don't know why Android can't detect my ext SD even I have one working. So the tendency, Android always prompts me "Out of Space" when installing apk. That prevents me to install the SystemBackup. So I change the install-location to "0", then successfully installed the SystemBackup, until the rooting process. :laugh:

I'm sooo wrong. :eek:

Regarding the bootloader unlock

I sent a mail to LG from their FOSS page, complaining about the locked bootloader, also mentioning the petition,

And this was their response:

“We received your request on LG Open Source Code Distribution site.

This site is just for providing source codes of FOSS(Free and Open Source Software) we have used in our product.”

*

Currently we are considering methods and target models for bootloader unlock to allow customers to install a custom OS(Operating System).

We are looking for efficient and safe methods to support it, and the target model will be selected with careful consideration. (e.g technical barrier such as platform limitation and/or mobile carrier’s policy).

We will let you know when we are ready to support unlocking the bootloader.

It is regrettable that we cannot give you the answer right away.

*

We hope this information will help you.

How to set install location default to ext SD?

Anyone know how to do it? I'm running on a low memory now and I want to install all application on external SD by default.

I successfully change the install-location to "2" but Android can't detect any SD even I have one working ( 8GB Imation ).

If I set install-location to "2", this results to an error "Out of Space" due to Android can't detect any ext SD.

Please Help!

You need to partition your sd card So that you can install apps in it or use app2sd...

I would have given you the link for its tutorial but I am here via my phone currently... you will need to search yourself...

Use the keywords partition sd card...:thumbup:
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] erieze.lagera:
Moving Apps...

Thank you for a quick response. :cyclops:

I did a search of about "partition sd card" and luckily a bunch of sites offer the same procedure. So all ends using MiniTool. And luckily I'm familiar on that tool because I often used it to assign a driver letter to my external HDD ( because Windows sometimes don't assign a drive letter ).

I'll try the procedure maybe tomorrow.

Thank you! ;)

Try updating the software with the KDZ updater software. It seems rooting upsets the update app LG put on the phone.

okay everybody got google now working on this phone and here are the instructions

first off you got to be rooted then head to this page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1835199 and download the offline package M7 offline

extract it and you should find a folder called system normally you would have to flash it as a zip but this worked for me so

go to system directory and backup the following folders app lib and usr, open the extracted lib folder and copy the .so files to the lib folder in your device repeat this with both usr folder and app however once in the app folder rename orignal googlequicksearchbox.apk to googlequicksearchbox.apk1 and velvet.apk to googlequicksearchbox.apk

restart and their you have it google now with voice working

Hey guys, I am just sharing my experience with installing apps to external sd card:)

1) Partition your sd card (FAT32-primary) using any software in Windows preferably Easeus partition Master.

2) After rooting, install Link2sd app

3) In the app go to more----> recreate mount scripts----> select ext2.

4) if you dont succeed, select FAT32 and reboot

Now open Link2sd, click on the apps and click create link. It will automatically move the apps 2 sd card:D

First

Link2SD works only if you have a second partition on your SD card

, just follow the steps here just proceed to step 4 to create second partition.Just follow steps 4 & 5 to continue.

(Uninstall link2SD if you previously install on your device to make sure it will work correctly. Follow step 5 on the attached guide to install Link2SD on your device)

Then install directory bind here and follow the procedure as describe on the thread..cheers.:) hope this help.This works both on my L7and L5.

Hello,

I was trying to flash an image on the device.

Unfortunately I ended up with the device to boot into the lg logo and a "security error" message.

After some attempts to recover it, the only think I have now is fastboot access ( no adb ).

Also the recovery mode doesn't work.

I think that I've messed up the recovery and the system partition, so if anyone can help by sharing a system.img or a recovery.img will be more than helpful.

I hope I didn't brick my device.
