Flashed with Flashify. Have D959 TMo. Didn't work. When rebooted to recovery only shows "[450] fastboot mode started [450] udc_start()"

When using the code where is the img file placed?

What state does the phone need to be in?
[LG G Flex] tmonty11:
Getting the same error on mine. If you find an answer please share!
[LG G Flex] jaybizza:
Yeah.. Same error for me as well on Tmo 959.. Will try and see what I can come up with. Tried adb and Flashify. Both with No luck..:crying:
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
For those just getting their Flex, did it come with 4.4 kitkat?? If so its been patched for loki.
[LG G Flex] D-FUSE:
Same for me too guys on tmo
[LG G Flex] mr pnut:
No kit kat...... It came with 4.2.2 lol but we will get an update to 4.4

Sent from my Enormous G Flex.
[LG G Flex] letschky:
And how will this work enable the USB Interface?
[LG G Flex] aznrice2k4:
More likely ram disk or somewhere around there.
[LG G Flex] brandonhatty:
Anybody try on D950 yet? I will gladly test if not. I assume root is needed. I took the kk update so I'll have flash back to 4.2 and re-root.
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
The custom recovery is already created and proven to work on the F340K. And even tho it may not work on every model, it wont take much to build for each variant.

Issue is the bootloader and which ones have been patched against loki or not. ;)
[LG G Flex] aznrice2k4:
I never said it doesn't work. It's its current state it act as a fastboot mode. That's how I've been using my kernel. I only wish source was shared if it is please link. I would be able to build it in a day or two.

My buildbot aka ArchyBaby is pro.
[LG G Flex] Maikeu Locatelli:
Guy, using the logcat i found the error, "dd: can't open /storage/emulated/0/LGFreedon/recovery/aboot.img" and another one for the recovery, looks that you forgot that both files need to be in this folder, your app of 1.2MB doenst have it inside i think, hehe
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
Did you have data or wifi on?

It downloads the needed files. ;)
[LG G Flex] Maikeu Locatelli:
Maybe is because im in a slow edge data, in the job, oil company in the middle of the jungle almost, hehe, if you can attach the aboot, i can try, because the cwm i have already, i think my d958 have some chance to work.

Downloaded manually the recovery.zip and extracted, runt the aplicative, and...WORKED, :)

i tried the method by fastboot dd, but just the recovery was not working, was nescessary the aboot.img too

Well, i confirm, the apk works to the d958, well, i would like to try the kernel aosp, but without a cyanogenmod to the g-flex, i dont see why.
[LG G Flex] aznrice2k4:
OMG

[hieu@datassuhh lib]$ adb devices
List of devices attached
05fcdcd5 device

TIME TO MAKE A FLASHABLE ZIP FOR THE KERNEL!

Edit: disregard my previous comment brain is not working. The was from my flo. However I did download the apk and installed it. Fastboot was still an issue. It rebooted to the initial black screen with same fastboot function.
[LG G Flex] Gotroot:
If I may interject here try using the cwm2 file that was posted against the aboot that in your apk. Fastboot is you problem. If you or someone could build a sprint kernel or rom that lokied i will try it on my recovery. Cause Loki is enable on my recovery.
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
huh?

Someone send me a sprint aboot and I will check to see if its patched or not.
[LG G Flex] iamtha1:

Is that lokied? Hit shell u r obviously one of the peeps that can get this phone goin
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
no clue if its loki'd or not and wouldn be eable to tell from pix no how.

I've spoke with Shellnut a few weeks ago about it and he said hopefully that weekend. Not heard or seen him chatting on irc since. lol

Oh no doubt, hes a smart cookie and i cant even count the # of recoveries I've done to date. lol

Of the 10ish devices I have atm, my gnex is the only one I didnt port recovery for. lol
[LG G Flex] Gotroot:
I post a few screens for loki enabled in cwm and being able to dis able. LOKI is work. If there is anything I can do to help let me know
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
if he/they got loki working they need to do a pull request on bliss's loki repo so it can be merged. Since they already did CWM, they could post it that too. ;)

Once they get that one merged into loki I can do my thing too. I'm guessing they used my repo to build cwm too, but dunno w/o them sharing info. ;)
[LG G Flex] Gotroot:
Well as you know shel has been bizzy as soon as he gets a few we will all know. If someone could post a kernel and rome for sprint that supported my loki I would test . But loki would never enable if it didn't work in cmw
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
well loki would have to support the device to be able to flash a boot.img. If only Shellnuts has loki edits for that device then hows anyone else suppose to be able to loki it? make sense. ;)
[LG G Flex] Gotroot:
AGREEED !!!!! but im think its from the g2
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
the aboot hes using or the recovery or both?

loki would also need updated in cwm for the auto loki function to work.

I been pingging Shel on irc, so hopefully we hear back from him soon.

[LG G Flex] iamtha1:
Sounds like they added a backdoor somehow to be able to push the Loki exploit to get a working recovery installed
[LG G Flex] kintwofan:
That's probably it. I was thinking they were asking if they could.

thanks for testing!!!
[LG G Flex] brittoking:
So did you Guys brick? ? i wanted to test but i Get my new flex tomorrow and i have to send this one back...in working order lol
[LG G Flex] kintwofan:
No brick, just no recovery. I think he's getting close though
[LG G Flex] brittoking:
Great to hear. At this point I'm just excited you can keep root over the update to 4.4 (on AT&T at least)
[LG G Flex] 99problemz:
How can you keep root?
[LG G Flex] brittoking:
You don't actually have to "do" anything. Just be rooted on the d950 and take the ota update. It goes thru and maintains root no problem
[LG G Flex] 99problemz:
Tried that the other day. But wouldn't install update said phone was rooted.
[LG G Flex] brittoking:
Not sure then. There have been at least 5 people on AT&T that have successfully kept root thru the update and they didn't do anything. I did click unroot in super su before taking the update and it did NOT work. It stopped the update with an error repeatedly. But you can always go back to 4.2.2 and root. Don't touch anything, download the update and see if it works this time
[LG G Flex] Prometh1216:
I tried would not do update said phone was rooted.
[LG G Flex] brittoking:
Not too sure. I've seen the screen shots of 2 people rooted on 4.4 who just simply took the update, and there are at least 3~4 more claiming it worked for them. They all say the same thing...they did not fiddle with supersu options and try to unroot or hide root, they just took update and went thru no problem.
[LG G Flex] 99problemz:
Ok thanks for the info. I'll mess around with it and see what happens.
[LG G Flex] aznrice2k4:
Someone check out this pastebin. I forked PlayfulGod's repo on github and am trying to build it successfully. It builds but this happens when I boot a kernel

http://pastebin.com/p9y9ycNF
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
if using my app to flash aboot/laf/recovery, then boot/recovery need to be loki'd using the F340K aboot.

There is some issue with my CWM build for some reason it its not booting, thus it falls back to fastboot.

even the og img fails too boot. It has me baffled.
[LG G Flex] aznrice2k4:
What I meant is that I built the recovery from with kk kernel inline since I added the source and what not in boardconfig.
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
yea I switched to kk src too and have built using the z_kt_open, spr, and tmo defconfigs. I also have mine setup to build the stb/dt.img which is needed, but not pushes those changes to github yet.

I gather yours not booting either by that pastebin?
[LG G Flex] aznrice2k4:
No it boots but I refuse to flash it. The last time I did, I semi bricked. If I do fast boot boot.img it boots but among reboot it doesn't stick.
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
I'm talking about recovery lol

if it kicks back in to fastboot mode youre good, can flash stock or last known working img.

and yea fastboot boot just boots, doesnt flash anything. Its a real good tool for testing kernels etc. Sucks LG makes it not so easy to access.
[LG G Flex] aznrice2k4:
Haha yeah recovery is "fine" technically. It just doesn't boot into the recovery just fast boot mode. I can reboot into recovery via adb or terminal
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
you can boot into cwm with adb reboot recovery? but using the button combo it doesnt boot.???

typically if booting kicks you to fastboot then the boot/recovery.img isnt booting (bad kernel, ramdisk etc) on lg's.

This crap would be alot simpler if I had one of these in hand. lol
[LG G Flex] aznrice2k4:
Key combo?! Which is? I don't know anything about recovery so a lot of help would be appreciated.
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
typically from power off, holding power, and either vol- or vol+ will boot the device into recovery.
[LG G Flex] aznrice2k4:
Well I know download is vup and plugging in. OMG, so I reboot to.recovery and got this

I am with T-Mobile and it will not boot into recovery. I tried to reboot from app, power menu and terminal and it just reboots. When I did it with the buttons and got LG's recovery with the menu in some foreign language!
[LG G Flex] kintwofan:
+1 same result on T-Mobile
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
was reported working now on the D955.

You 2 did uninstall the app, redownload install the new build of the app?
[LG G Flex] aloxotls:
This was the first time install for me
[LG G Flex] Gerrett:
Did you have busybox installed? Without the app won't work.

If you click "Install Unlock ...." and you can't read the popup text then busybox is missing ;) if not you should see ~5sec "Freeing your L3 !!!!"

Btw you can only boot via adb/terminal into recovery (will also work with 3way reboot mods and apps, they do nothing more). It won't work with hardware keys ..

Gesendet von meinem LG-D955 mit Tapatalk
[LG G Flex] kintwofan:
Yes sir. I just uninstalled again, deleted lgfreedom folder, rebooted and tried again. I get the freeing your l3 message. I select reboot in app and get lg, black screen, lg again then bootanimation. Also tried terminal reboot recovery same result
[LG G Flex] brandonhatty:
Just installed fresh and ran app. All worked as it should. Selected reboot recovery and to my surprise it booted to TWRP. I played around in TWRP for a minute and it all looked normal. With nothing to flash at this point I don't know what else to do with it. Well I then selected reboot system and the phone just sits at the LG screen and won't go any further. I should have tried to see if it would make a backup but I wasn't thinking so sorry about the failed test here. Has anyone recovered from the non-booting issue or will I just have to flash back to stock? Oh duh... D950 at&t here.
[LG G Flex] brandonhatty:
So flashed back to stock, re-rooted, and downloading KK. I'm getting really comfortable with LG flash tool so art last I got that going for me. I'm still confused a little though. Everyone keeps saying CWM. Are you trying TWRP now?
[LG G Flex] justinswidebody:
The new recovery image in the app is definitely TWRP. He must be trying that. I prefer that anyways.

By the way. Does not work for sprint flex. Boots to fastboot instead.
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
the app eventually will have the option of which recovery to install. I got a PM saying they tried it with twrp and it worked, so I set the app to use it. He also tried with the cwm img from the op and said it worked also. So something happened with 6.0.4.8 that I have to figure out.

The app will be getting it own thread too. ;)
[LG G Flex] brandonhatty:
Dude it's close! Once I left recovery phone was toast, no boot. Is everybody having same problem or was that just me?
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
l3?? I need to edit that huh lol.

ummm, might not work on all models. You did download new copy right?
[LG G Flex] kintwofan:
Sure did, from the link you pmed me
[LG G Flex] justinswidebody:
Interesting. This recovery.img has a different ramdisk offset in the config.xml. then the rest. All of the rest matches the factory recoverys image. I believe this is why it is working for some variants. Might give us a good direction on where to go for other variants. If someone knows more about this please chime in.
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
its possible diff variants have diff offsets.

I might edit the app to use a more generic name for the recovery.img so you all can experiment more. ;)
[LG G Flex] Gotroot:
is this recovery allowing Loki? I have been tring to get ahold of Shel with no luck.
[LG G Flex] aznrice2k4:
I bricked again. Two possible reasons. I did the smart install of busybox via busybox pro. Two a cwm or something bricked it. Couldn't even go to download mode. It was stuck at download mode. See pic

Edit: btw this is my 2nd replacement Lmao
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
Testers!!!!!!!!!!!!

Testers uninstall the app, redownload it, install, run it, leave feedback. I think we have a winner. ;)
[LG G Flex] Gotroot:
very impressed thank you
[LG G Flex] kintwofan:
It was a no go on the 959. Same lg screen then flashes lg again and boots normally. By the way the freeing your l3 popped up real quick this time so I'm not sure it actually installed everything. Also there is only about.IMG and cwm.img in the lgfreedom/recovery folder, is that correct?
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
repeat the process, I had the apk named wrong :)

now we just need to find out if it works for all variants, and if it works on the kk update.
[LG G Flex] phillip_viado:
it does not work on at&t model running kitkat. it doesn't even unlock the bootloader and doesn't install cwm
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
Its not working on T-Mobile. D959. Still same thing as before acts like it works then reboots normal. I uninstalled it I deleted previous versions and then downloaded new one. I saw when clicking the install unlocked BL it said flex and not l3 like before. So ive got the new version but still no go.

[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
it doesnt unlock the bootloader at all. lol

It uses the F340K's aboot that isnt patched for loki.

If you are rooted and gave the app su access, no reason for it not to have flashed the imgs.

Now if recovery etc works is another story, kk might need more stuffs done.

Does it still boot into the os?

Mine does. Like nothing happened.

when i press on "install unlocked bl and cwm" a please wait freeing your g flex window pops up then it disapears, that it it does not do anything else.

i am rooted and i did give the app su access

it still boots back to the os
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
run adb logcat while flashing and post it plz.

And I'll edit what that button says to so not to confuse ppl. And this is all still beta at best. ;) I will be making a official thread for it some time today.

it doesnt take long at all for it to flash 2 imgs, matter of seconds.

The logcat will tell if it is actually flashing or not tho.

then its to figure out if its the tmo variant or kk as why it doesnt boot to cwm. ;)
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
I'm still on 4.2.2. I'm not even sure if the kk OTA is out for tmobile d959. I'm not around my PC right now to run logcat. Can I do it on the internal emu

Now time to test my T-Mobile ROM make sure the build prep edits don't cause any problems and also att user on KK if you can pull your system and kernel I can try to put together a deodexed KK for you guys today.

did you flash the stock laf for the D959 back? That should fix the key combo issue. ;)
[LG G Flex] brandonhatty:
At&t D950 here and again same as last time. Except it being CWM this time. I'm on Rooted KK so maybe the problem. I did make a successful backup this time before rebooting system. My problem is once rebooting system phone will not boot. Hangs at the black LG screen and is done for. I can get in download mode but thats it. Either it's a no go for D950 or I did something wrong. I'm going to start flashing back to stock. Maybe try this again on 4.2 and see if anything is different. I've been restoring once a day for about a week but i'll keep testing until this gets finished. Thanks for working on this!
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:

Guys, after flashing your laf the key combo will work, however to get into recovery now you have to hold vol up and power. You will see the LG splash screen then you will get a black screen with some Korean logo. Let go of the buttons and it will boot into recovery
