I claim, that in Xperia Tipo (and others) is battery_charging file. L5 hasn't this file. So installing this won't work and there must be file which starts before android boot up (like battery_charging in Xperia). The way it works on Xperia: when the charger is plugged in phone, this file is running. Modified file runs recovery file, then recovery boot up.

[GUIDE] Flash Stock Firmware

I am not sure if this has been posted before here.

But I am posting, do comment if you find it helpful.

Credit goes to the website: hackmyandroid.com

Steps:

1. Download LG Optimus l5 USB Driver for Windows | Mac.

2. Download official LG Optimus l5 stock firmware from this page. The file would be a .kdz file. Download the appropriate firmware according to your network provider and country.

3. Download KDZ updater and install it on your computer.

4. The zip file has a Microsoft XML parser, make sure you run it as an administrator and restart your PC. This will solve the wparam 100 and lparam 6 issue mentioned in a comment below.

5. The next step is to put your phone into emergency mode. To do this, remove the battery of your phone and re-insert it (don’t turn it on). Press and hold Volume Up button and Volume Down button. While you are pressing the two buttons, press the Power button. So now, you must be pressing all three buttons together.

6. Your phone will boot into emergency mode and you should see a yellow screen with Emergency mode written on it.

Pick up the USB Cable and connect your phone to the computer via the USB Cable.

7. Pick up the USB Cable and connect your phone to the computer via the USB Cable.

8. Run KDZ updater as Administrator.

9. Choose the following options in KDZ Updater: Type: 3GQCT Phone Mode: DIAG and KDZ file is the one you downloaded in step 3. See the image below,

10. Re-check with the image above and ensure that you have the appropriate settings on the KDZ updater.

11. click on “Launch Software Update” button.

12. This process is usually long. It take quite a long time for the firmware to be flashed on your phone.

13. If everything goes well, you will see “Finished” written in the log screen and your phone will change to switched off mode from Emergency mode.

14. The next time you turn it on, your phone will take a lot of time to reboot. Stay Cool! its normal.

Anybody got any tips on reducing lag? My phone seems to be lagging when using the dial paid, scrolling and going through contacts. Pretty frustating that LG chose to underclock the cpu, makes no sense.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] mrjabol61:
I though about this, but I'm not enough experienced to modify init.rc. And I think that init.rc only sets variables in class files, in case what is doing (on init, on recovery, etc) so it is IMO not usable for us.

I wonder, is it possible to flash recovery by Terminal Emulator? Cuz in L5 recovery is only hard reset (vol- + power + home), maybe after flashing this with cwm it'll run recovery mode. But I don't know if phone will say Secure Boot Error.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] toby913:
On Page 19 are the commands to flash via phones terminal
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] mrjabol61:
I know, but I'm not sure, is recovery in rom or phone memory? Because I don't know if I can rescue phone after failed installing ;)

E: Ok, I read this page and all is clear now :)

E2: I built recovery with Recovery Builder.

I've used recovery.img from V10L firmware.

I'm going to install it.

Result after flashing: Secure booting Error!
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] urobbot:
A way to remove lag is this apk: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1987032

Hmm, If we've got problem with secure boot, maybe we should look into boot.img and try modify it. Because looking for "escape" with recovery.img can be harder than this.

E: recovery builder is missing something through compilation process (less than 3mb data). So can someone unpack these recovery files that I said before?

The same result with this recovery :D It looks like stock recovery (like in other phones to wipe) and this app turn it on, but it won't work properly. It runs when app force wipe. I think "normal" enter to recovery is only format.

And there are some differences:

- more files *sbin* in BUILT recovery (to all these functions, in stock are only few files):

- more files in root ramdisk in STOCK recovery

- less init.rc file in BUILT recovery (modified)

And lgsecurity.rc file, which contains "on security-init" procedure.

How do u think - is it possible to "merge" these 2 recoveries in one working?

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] mrjabol61:

So, maybe all original files installed into sbin recovery are required to properly start. Cwm removes these files, init.rc (moded) probably hasn't initiation of them. Maybe restoring and adding init.rc procedures?

But I think that the problem is boot.img, not recovery. Recovery after flashing hasn't these files. Otherwise, I'll try it.

If it won't work, maybe deleting wallpaper/all sbin files init in boot help.

E:

How u found "Security booting error" string into wallpaper file ?

E: On other forum I found the same info:

Reading this:

I claim that boot and recovery img aren't singed by 256 byte "key". In HTC signification key is the first 256 bytes, after that is "ANDROID!" word (in bytes ofc) and other code. The LG's first bytes are "ANDROID!" so there are 2 ways:

- no signification

- sign in other place (i.e. on the end of files)

Maybe deleting "on boot | exec wallpaper | wait wallpaper" procedure will help us, but I don't know how to rescue phone if it won't work. Then phone can't boot, so how flash it? Via emergency mode?
