When in recovery /sdcard is /data/media unless you change it. When not in recovery sdcard is /data/media/0 & /storage/emulated/legacy & a few more I think... so your folder is there just look in /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/ not /data/media/0/clockworkmod/backup or /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup or /storage/emulated/legacy/clockworkmod/backup

Flash it like any other zip and then reboot recovery and it should be there. Best recovery IMO.

If you made your backups with CWM philZ should see them. If you made them with TWRP then go to: backup and restore>miscellaneous Nandroid settings>TWRP mode.

They are inside of my CWM folder but can't be seen. Created from ROM Manager with Philz. They can be sent to my computer with rom manager.

[G2 Original Android Development] Swamphound:
Hmmm...are they in the right location: /sdcard/cwm/backups? If need be you could flash back to CWM, restore, flash philZ and then make a nandroid in philZ of the same set up.

[G2 Original Android Development] skulldreamz:
Actually cwm/philz backup folder will be under storage/emulated/0/clockworkmod/backup. The /0/ might or might not be there (personal preference) when you go to look under your root file manager. Its actually not under sdcard/clockworkmod/backup anymore as of the jump from ICS to JB. Twrp still uses that path but cwm is using an emulated storage hierarchy
[G2 Original Android Development] Swamphound:
You're right. I use Root Explorer so my mind still sees it that way.

I just remembered something. I once had this issue and it turned out to be how I had the data/media enabled. I think I just toggled the other choice in that selection, rebooted recovery and there were my files. I also recall that I got the md5 mismatch message and restored anyway and all was well.

Sorry but I have to state this again. I posted this the other day for the same issue, but will be a bit more specific now. The G2's /sdcard && /storage/emulated/legacy && /mnt/shell/emulated are symlinks to /data/media/0 which is the actual placement of things because it is a simulated internal SD. That is the actual location though, /data/media/0 of INTERNAL_STORAGE and EXTERNAL_STORAGE. However, in recovery, at least with Philz, the /sdcard is at /data/media not /data/media/0 so you can change that in the settings to be /data/media/0 or just move old backups, or new backups which are not created in recovery and get placed in /data/media/0/clockworkmod/backup to /data/media/clockworkmod/backup and they will be seen. :good:

i cant get passed recovery now

i had twrp 2.6.3.3 or sth like that not the latest one and i decided to flash philz recovery and i made it there but when i press anything in the recovery all i get is an error message aromafm.zip not found

so i searched for it and got it and booted into the lg custom rom (spiderio jellybean) and i manually put the file aromafm.zip in the directory written in the error message in recovery

so now it works except that when i press on usb mount in advanced nothing literally happens

and now when i restart the system to boot into the os normally i cant get passed the lg logo it just come and go

i can go into recovery and i can go into download mode

but i cant do more than that specially that usb mount isnt working in recovery and i cant put a rom and flash it or sth

recovery on D802

Hi guys

need quick advise, I've G2 (D802) intl version with stock recovery running kitkat 4.4.2. can i flash philz using flashify app ? or do i need to install autorec first ? or whats the best approach?

Thanks for the advise.
[G2 Original Android Development] Swamphound:
I rooted from 4.2.2 so I used Freegee (don't think it supports 4.4.2 yet) to get TWRP installed and then flashed philZ from recovery. If you're on stock rooted 4.4.2 I believe you can use Auto root to get custom recovery and then flash philZ, though I don't have your device and haven't done it myself.

Once you have custom recovery, TWRP or CWM, then flash philZ and reboot recovery. Let us know how you do. I've been browsing the Autorec thread but AI said I haven't used it myself.

hi,

when i flash the latest philz cwm philz_touch_6.27.5-d801.zip i get this following error message when i try to boot into recovery.

black sreen with the following message:

[780] Fastboot mode started

[830] udc_start()]

flashed the extracted recovery.img with flashify. Same issue.

The only recovery which works is philz_touch_6.15.4-d801.zip
[G2 Original Android Development] Roseysdaddy:
Been that way for a month now.
[G2 Original Android Development] indianx:
seriously? so its not my phone its the philz cwm :rolleyes:

was worried. i was able to get it back booted up and flash a older philz recovery.

Thank you.
[G2 Original Android Development] thebeastglasser:
How did you get out of it? Just by reflashing the old recovery with fastboot and then "fastboot boot recovery recovery.img"?
[G2 Original Android Development] indianx:
no i hold down power till the phone turned off. then turned it back on.

phone rebooted installed flashify from playstore and flashed the img file with that tool. I extracted recovery.img from the philz zip.
[G2 Original Android Development] thebeastglasser:
But how did you get out of [780] fastboot mode started? Whenever I boot back up, it just boots straight to that screen.
[G2 Original Android Development] indianx:
I hold the power button phone turns off. The i hold the power button for 2 seconds again and the phone boots up fine.

there might another issue. Mine rebooted fine.

You should just be able to type "fastboot reboot" and your ROM should boot fine. From there adb it up

Hi philz. Tried your latest recovery for D802 dated 14/5/14.

Sadly got glitches on the screen. Had to go back to 6.27.5 which runs perfectly.
[G2 Original Android Development] Phil3759:
As i said. Hammer your cm team repo maintainer.

I contacted him to fix the crap being done on most lg devices and he did not care to answer

I do not plan to release a custom kernel for each dxx vetsion. You do not even have a unified kernel.

Hope an advanced user jumps in and just repacks new version with 6.27.5 kernel for each variant. It is not a big task. Just a simple repack. No compile needed. Me I have no time for it

Sorry

Hi, I had this recovery installed an booted into it a couple of time without issue. This morming, I tried once more and instead of loading into recovery, the screen just faded out. Since then I have about 10 fine vertiale lines in the screen.

I have tried flashing another kernel, using my backup and also restor to default (no recovery, no root, etc)

Does anyone have an idea of what I can do?

[MENTION=887978]chgar[/MENTION] do you only experience this in recovery and can you boot into your ROM? If so perhaps flash the latest TWRP using Flashify and then boot into recovery. From there you can flash an older philZ version. If you have the black lines on your ROM flash a jdi kernel for your device.

It is your cm-11.0 repo maintainer that seem to be missing many updates
