sorry if my questions were not up to your standards LIKE I SAID my first lg phone ive always had samsung no need to be a dou**e bag

also generally forums are for asking questions if you didnt know that.....

Yes, in Q &A, NOT in the DEV threads...
[LG G Flex] iamthedj:
Is there a Q&A for this exact issue I had because all I saw was general q&a so I figured I'd ask on this thread my fault if I was wrong but there was still no need to make a smart a$$ remark

Dude he gave u your answer then u asked for the link , if u followed his instructions u would have found the link therefore making u lazy and deserving the "smart ass" remark now plz drop it

Ahhh, I remember when this thread was full of information about the particular subject of a custom recovery, and NOT full of bull****(including this post).
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
as I didnt start a Q&A thread for this, them being asked in this thread is fine. ;)

Long as they pertain to the app or cwm/twrp recovery that is. ;)

Is that only the people who haven't upgraded to kit kat? Luckily I'm still on jellybean and have the ability to flash. A shame, I wanted a recovery for kk, getting bored.
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
well we/I are still working on getting a modded kk kernel to work with the f340k aboot. The kk aboot is patched, so no loki for it.

savoca did get a kernel that will boot with our setup, but if you make it to the os it just reboots repeatedly.

initial testing worked for me until I enable airplane mode, all went to hell after that and not been able to repeat the successful boot since. And no one else has even had that much luck that was testing. lol
[LG G Flex] Disneyfist:
Ahhh I see. Well, at least there's still attempts at getting it going. Thanks.

I restored laf.bin and I still cannot get into the recovery and I ran the app again after restoring the laf, should I try going completely back to stock, reroot and then run your program again?

[LG G Flex] aloxotls:
I have Tmobile D959
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
APK updated.

new apk upload, button for TWRP should be fixed now.
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
Before this got completely fixed for all variants I was using an apk I have that installs cwm and decided to try flashing a deodexed ROM and it didn't take. I bricked. It will go into download mode and boot to lg logo screen but no further. I've tried the lg flash tool a dozen times its never worked for me. Says "error extracting files". As soon as I click normal web test like the instructions say it starts then immediately says "....... Is not responding would you like to close it "

I'm assuming its not hard bricked. I just need to get the flash tool working. My issue is my phone is my internet thru hotspot. I don't have WiFi at home. I'm sitting in McDonalds parking or using their WiFi right now. Daaaannnnggg g if I had just waited 10 more hours. Lmao. Thats how it goes though. Any help would be appreciated. I also have issue running the flash tool and other return to stock software with no internet access. Sucks man this sucks. The offline method I've read instructions to a " t" and followed but no go. The apk fails. And to top it all off when I was trying to get into fast boot /download mode I must have done the sequence off a little cuz that Korean language (what looks like factory recovery) screen car up and it happened so fast when it selected whatever it did and I'm assuming factory reset. Cuz I can't get in thru adb. So I assume with factory reset comes default no debugging checked.

[LG G Flex] idaadi:
Hello everybody,

I have a LG D955 , flashed it back to stock with : D95510A_00.kdz ( 4.2.2) , Rooted with Ioroot and now FreedomFlex doesn't install Recovery Correctly. I mean , it asks for SU , granted , does something , but then when I reboot in recovery it just hangs with a black screen. Nothing happens!!! Please Help, am I doing something wrong or what?

PS: Tried also installing busybox , tried both CWM and TWRP , none had worked...... I'd really like to be able to flash 4.4.2 (stock) and keep custom recovery and Root. How should I do that ? Advice please? Remember my model is D955/Europe.

PS: Have been struggling with this for 24hours now, everything happened, but couldn't get the Recovery to work....

Thank you !!!!
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
As has been posted over and over and over and over, there is NO WAY to have 4.4 and a custom recovery on this phone at this point..

Please read and search before you post questions, especially this one that has been asked over and over and over and over and over and over..
[LG G Flex] idaadi:
Okay, then I would like to have working Custom Recovery on D955 (on 4.2.2 ), how should I do that ?

Another Question is , how should I preserve Root while upgrading ? Root and then OTA Upgrade?

BR
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
If you are on 4.2 stock, then flashing this should give you CWM or TWRP

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.techygeek.freedomflex.freedom

If you want 4.4 and root, there is also an very in depth thread explaining that as well; just search for it..
[LG G Flex] idaadi:
As stated in my first post here, Using FreedomFlex doesn't do anything for me. When I select reboot to Recovery, it hangs with a black screen. Again, I am stock 4.2.2 , rooted , and then downloaded latest ver of the App and tried both twrp and cwm(with a stock and root , between tries) . Then I tried installing Busybox and none of the two worked....

PS: Instead of writing : "If you want 4.4 and root, there is also an very in depth thread explaining that as well; just search for it.." to my question: Another Question is , how should I preserve Root while upgrading ? Root and then OTA Upgrade? You could have said : Yeah , it works just like that: Downgrade, root, OTA upgrade and you have 4.4.2 with root. ;)

BR
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
busybox isnt required to use FF. And as long as you are rooted and have a internet connection (so the app can download the latest recovery imgs.) FF should work fine, as it has for others with the D955. ;)
[LG G Flex] idaadi:
Well, for me it didn't .... repeatedly.

What does the app do exactly? flashes the Aboot(Appsbl) from F340k? Why ? Should it work with D955 ?

I hate it that it doesn't work for me, and for others with the same model had worked. But , i want to find out and understand why, cause I can help to fix it....

BR
[LG G Flex] waynestatemac:
You need the ABOOT file!!!

Playfulgod,

I had the same issue with the third LG flex of mine which was the last to be rooted on 4.2.2, I did the others a few weeks ago. The Freedom Flex app when installing the CWM or TWRP would act like it installed and then on reboot immediately come to a black screen with fastboot on it. I could hold down power and volume down and restart the phone but custom recovery would not install. I noticed deep in this thread an issue where you mentioned the Aboot.img file was not coming through when the app runs after you did some update. Sure enough I looked on the phone and the aboot file was not there. I looked in the other two LG Flex's I rooted weeks ago and the Aboot file was in the recovery folder. I transferred that file manually to my last phone to be rooted and sure enough the custom recovery flashed correctly.

I believe the freedom flex app no longer contains the aboot.img file for some reason. I was trying it out last night and it did not contain it.
[LG G Flex] waynestatemac:
idaadi,

Install the freedom flex app on your 4.2.2 software phone. Then use a file manager and find the directory on your internal storage "\LGFreedom\recovery". Place the attached aboot.img in that directory and see if you can now install the CWM or TWRP from the freedom flex app. It should now work, at least it did for me!
[LG G Flex] idaadi:
Wayne, thank you for your tips and reply. I'll try it this weekend cause I need a working Phone throughout the week. (have spent literally 24hrs going through every possible brick state with my phone ) Just for some hours have it working with a 4.4.2 and root. I'll make a backup and play in the weekend and write back here to see if it worked for me.

BR
[LG G Flex] brandonhatty:
Confirmed having same problem. I've restored a million times and it worked before. Now a no go. It appears to work but no recovery. Just fastboot
[LG G Flex] twill1987:
I flashed both TRWP and CWM recovery but both give the famous "fastboot UDC mode started"

I am coming from 4.4.2 and flashed back to 4.2.2 for root and recovery, but is the bootloader what's causing me issues?

I really need to flash this At&t rom for this device to unlock the sim for gsm use. Has anyone found a way to do this?

Thanks
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
D950 works flawlessly long as your are on 4.2.2 and rooted. Make sure to have wifi or good data connection for the app to download the images.

which device?
[LG G Flex] brandonhatty:
Yeah I know it worked perfectly before on D950. But it doesn't anymore. Something isn't working. There is no aboot in the folder after download. I tried manually grabbing it from the post up the page. Still no go. I don't know what to try from here.
[LG G Flex] brandonhatty:
After running app this is all of the contents in the folder. No aboot?
[LG G Flex] twill1987:
Uh oh.. I'm now in a black recovery screen with a secure boot error. This is a bad deal! I can get to download mode but I don't have a stock recovery... Am I screwed with this device?? :( I haven't tried to flash firmware but I imagine without a stock recovery it won't flash will it?
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
ummm, let me rezip and upload a new recovery.zip, I apparently forgot aboot with lat update. lol.

And no you should be able to boot back to the os fine. ;)

EDIT: Rerun FF now, it should dl new zip with all files now. ;)
[LG G Flex] twill1987:
Thanks for the quick response bro! Much appreciated! So this new recovery will work on LS955 JB? Just checking before I go for the gold again.

Has anyone told you they've managed to get it working on Kitkat? Just curious if there are any freak cases out there where it's worked.
[LG G Flex] ajsmsg78:
I was having the same problem on my D959. FreedomFlex gave me a fastboot screen when I tried to install recovery on JellyBean. It is now working again. Thanks again to anyone working on this project as it is much appreciated.

not working for kitkat. ;)

[LG G Flex] sickkside13:
I just checked your github and i see u made alot of progress along with the LG D959 , and zcommon but kernel is still the issue i assume. Either way nice job.
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
yea kernel being a pitfa. the msm8974 kernel wont boot at all and the stock kernel boots to the lg logo but has adb. The d959 device tree can easily cloned and edited for all models.
[LG G Flex] brandonhatty:
Ok so I've been flashing different theme stuff all afternoon playing around and crashed the phone again. How does one enter recovery from power off state? I've tried every combo I can think of. Nothing working. Is there a special sequence to get into it?
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
from power off, power+volume up until the lil korean symbol shows, then release both buttons.
[LG G Flex] brandonhatty:
Dude I swear I tried that a million times! The buttons are really picky with this phone I've noticed. Like when taking a screen shot you have to hit them simultaneously not one before the other. Thanks again for your help. Worked this time.
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
Glad u figured it out
[LG G Flex] brandonhatty:
Last question, I swear. Where is the backup stored when using CWM?
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
Sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery
[LG G Flex] brandonhatty:
Well that was the obvious spot to look. I don't know where on my phone it is but it's not there. I know it's there cause I used it to restore. I made a second duplicate backup on accident and was going to delete it. Not a big deal, I just deleted from inside CWM. Was just strange. I switched to TWRP and backed up and it's there.
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
its in /data/media/clockworkmod/backup ;)
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
My bad. Try mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:

[LG G Flex] MadCobbler:

Is that with the repos (device/kernel) from your github?
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:

[LG G Flex] MadCobbler:

[LG G Flex] wase4711:

[LG G Flex] bbobarino:

[LG G Flex] Disneyfist:
Forgive me if I'm wrong here, but what good is having a cyano rom for T-Mobile if there is still no functioning recovery for kit kat? I check this thread at least twice a day for updates, and haven't seen anything in the form of that. Like i said, I could be wrong.
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
It has been stated numerous times that recovery for stock kk will prolly never come to be. now we might eventually get a kk kernel to work with the jb f340k aboot so the current recoveries work.

long as you have root on kk, install Freedom Flex, install CWM or TWRP and then flash CM.

If on jb, install Freedom Flex, install CWM or TWRP and then flash CM and flash the device specific kk modem for your device.

If on kk w/o root, will have to downgrade to jb, root, install Freedom Flex, install CWM or TWRP, and then flash CM and flash the device specific kk modem for your device.

And everyone be forewarned, currently no need to flash Cm11 unless you can help debug & fix whats wrong with it. ;)

Also lets all keep cm11 discussion in that thread and this one for recovery plz. ;)
[LG G Flex] brandonhatty:
"long as you have root on kk, install Freedom Flex, install CWM or TWRP and then flash CM. "

Huh? How can you run freedom flex if you are on rooted kk? I thought the whole fuss was that you couldn't?
[LG G Flex] bbobarino:
+1
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
It wont boot to the os on stock kk after running FF due to incompability between the kk kernel & and the jb aboot we use to be able the use custom recovery. Its just a matter of time b4 that gets worked out. :)
[LG G Flex] brandonhatty:
I follow you. Will at least get you to recovery to flash CM and kernel but no recovery after that.
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
Well with cm11 it all works together. Just need to get it all working.
[LG G Flex] panpreza:
After i installed recovery (thx dev) i lost knock on. Off working fine.

TWRP 2.7 - LG G Flex (Korean) f430k
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
that looks like its for the Korean Model, which is NOT the same as the US model..
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
what aboot you think we're using and what was used on the first recovery builds. ;)

the f340 is no different than what the us models are from each other. ;)
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
so, are you saying we can use this version of TWRP on the d959?
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
One my app installs is newer ;)

Has anyone tried TWRP 2.7 - LG G Flex (Korean) f430k on a LS995? Sprint g Flex?
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
not seen no specific reports for a f340k, but have seen several for the ls995. I dont see no reason it wouldnt work on the f340k. ;)
[LG G Flex] Xpertss:
So it should work even though I'm on KitKat?
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
on kk it wont work as intended, OS wont boot even with a modded kk kernel for it atm. The kernel needs work so it doesnt reboot repeatedly when using the jb aboot. And wont boot at all w/o the kernel being modded. ;)
[LG G Flex] Triad79:
Portland, that's where my sister is... Gotta give her a visit, great city Xpertss!

One thing, all the way from beginning there are infos that Freedom doesn't work on KK and people are still asking those questions.

I as others, am not an expert and after quite a reading done, managed to help others from post 1 and on...

Just a m8's advice m8... ;)
[LG G Flex] Brutal-Force:
Has to be a better way. I was in TWRP a few times, but now I can't seem to get in it anymore. ATM No Roms install and can't get past LG Screen.

I do see a Korean Screen with IMIE number and 3 selections on it. 1 time I was in Download mode (which I don't think is even right for my phone) D595 - Tmo. And once in a while the red LED blinks a couple of times.

I think I have bricked my phone. :/

Question: How do you "power off" from LG screen?
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
No youre not bricked

To power off from any state

Hold power down till screen goes off then continue to hold till it comes on then immediately goes back off then let go.

That Korean screen with the imei number is not the one playful was referring to. That I think is the factory reset screen or option to use hard keys or not screen , just in Korean so I can't read it. I always pick the bottom option on it. The screen he is referring to is when in the off state press vol up and power at the same time until 2 Korean emblems above 3 other symbols are shown then let go of both give me a min and I'll take a pic of it and upload.

Don't press the vol and power button hard cuz it will depress the vol down without you realizing it. Those back buttons are touchy.

---------- Post added at 11:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 AM ----------

This is the screen we are referring to. Long press Vol up and the power button until you see this. Vol down and power will get you to bootloader mode if you you are are plugged in and both vol up and down and power gets you to the Korean screen with those options.

Hold vol up while plugging in gets you to boot loader as well.

Is there a way to uninstall TWRP and push factory recovery back to my device so that I can take the kitkat update?
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
grab the stock recovery for your device from here and flash it with dd from adb shell.

adb push recovery.bin /data/local/tmp/recovery.bin

adb shell

su
