[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] slipsystem:
The reason why the recovery stops working has something to do with LG checking or updates and overwriting the reboot-recovery.

easy way to fix is to reinstall recovery. I dont know about xposed and I run the framework without issues, but i dont see how my recovery will effect it.

hmm

you need to install app called busybox and have it activated (installed to your system)

you need to unpack (extract the file you are downloading from #1 post) to any folder

you need to enable usb debugging in developer options

you need all drivers installed

you need to plug phone in using your usb cable and select lg firmware from connection manager

you need to open init.bat file

you might need to confirm the popup for superuser request on phone

you need to enjoy cwm :D

Will that be plain enough ?

Can you help me to port this recovery to LG G Pro Lite Dual? It have locked bootloader, too... It install, but give the same error about boot while backing up... And I think restore will not work well.

If possible, I want to edit your recovery to work with SYSTEM partition ONLY. By this way, it will not give the error while trying a backup! The goal is avoid flash boot and recovery because security error...

I already used MTK Droid Tools and have a scatter file, recovery.img and boot.img.

either make sure only 1 adb device plugged in or turn off any emulators running

---------- Post added at 11:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------

you can do this in recovery as it has root adb (i think) :)

if you cannot access recovery go to settings / Pc connection / and play with options there to get the connection menu to come up

also make sure your battery is minimum 50%

too bad

Hello guys, I just have some trouble with my LG E440 (L 4 II). I've tried to do exactly as instructions. I had installed root (by vroot), busybox 1.22.1 (I think last version). I've tried to follow instructions and install this CWM, I has been installed successfull from my PC, but I couldnt reboot to recovery AT ALL, I've tried to use application, it didnt help, just bootlogo with death droid image and self hard-reset after it, I've tried also application which included to this recovery (in zip file), and it just didnt work at all. I noticed some note about permissions, but after hard reset wifi seemd broken, just stuck on getting ip and no even logo in statubar. I had no another way instead of flash new firmware by FlashTool, so I did it. Now I have root and busybox installed, but I cant enter recovery at all, it just doesnt works, any buttons, hold, or press many times, just cant enter. I think it can be good to start with it first, than try to install custom. Have you guys any idea how to solve it? Thanks.
