someone using Philz said this "It's a bit tricky: you have to toggle the volume up and volume down repeatedly starting right about when the LG logo appears the 2nd time (the animated one). Sometimes it takes a few tries for me, but it is possible."

maybe it works
[LG Optimus L90] akshaysv08:
(note using Philz recovery)

guys,dont use usual way to reboot into recovery( i.e holding volume down button and power button simultaneously till lg logo appears and again the same till u enter into recovery) it will reset ur phone and also there will be problem in setup up wizard and one has to reflash the phone instead

use recovery manager to reboot into recovery
[LG Optimus L90] rysk29:
yeah ima stick with cwm 4 now myself
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Button combos will NOT reset the D415 unless you choose YES on the factory reset screen.

Everyone making suggestions and so on needs to be specific about which L90 model they are referring to.
[LG Optimus L90] rysk29:
with CWM you have to choose yes on factory reset screen to enter recovery.. it doesn't factory reset tho, just boots n cwm
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Thanks for the info! ;) I had to test it and like a dummy...

Philz Touch and Factory Reset WILL RESET your device. Crap... Now I gotta set this thing back up again...
[LG Optimus L90] akshaysv08:
My lg l90 is

d-410

,button combos will ask for options but in case of twrp recovery it will not reset the phone if one choose YES on the factory reset screen but simply boots into recovery .

One important thing :AFTER RESET(USING PHILZ RECOVERY)THERE IS PROBLEM IN SETUP WIZARD(SETUP WIZARD WILL NOT COMPLETE AND THE PROCESS IS RECURRING) AND HAS TO REFLASH
[LG Optimus L90] ichiato:
Quick question: What exactly does phils touch add to the cwm.
[LG Optimus L90] TomJ2:
That's CU Boulder. Party School.

Red Rocks is an amphitheater that hosts music/bands. Nice hiking around there. Lovely place. But also known as a place to "party."

Totally hilarious..., I wonder if they guy is even embarrassed by it or not?

Worked as a medic for a while and had to deal with the damage these people did to themselves. Something down in there most are trying to medicate, more than just alcoholism.
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
I can say on the D415 after resetting via Factory Reset with Philz Touch that I didn't have any issue whatsoever with LG Setup wizard. Phone setup went smoothly other than my APN for Simple Mobile not being there. But thats what I get for buying a phone that was originally intended for Walmart Family Mobile. LOL.

Please note what I've said are my own experiences. I'm not implying that someone else with the same device won't have any issues.

I should also note that I kept root even after factory reset. I think that is because I installed SuperSU as a system app. Also, none of LGs bloatware was reinstalled.
[LG Optimus L90] TomJ2:
No issues with Philz here either now, all works as it should (surprisingly well, actually). D415 (T-mo)

No loss of root here either (but once I got everything wired-tight with rooting, even if I lost it, ten mins later I'd have it again...)

Itching for custom ROM now. Will miss the plethora available for the 4X HD...

Has anyone had a problem with towelroot for the LG Optimus L90?
[LG Optimus L90] TomJ2:
Only problem I had, with my first L90, is that it rooted my phone!!

I returned it rooted... :)
[LG Optimus L90] LaDY Vengeance:
I had a problem with the latest version. The older one works, though!
[LG Optimus L90] danyleene:
Upgrade to 10c or 10d
[LG Optimus L90] ichiato:
Both my phone and the LG mobile support tool says I have the latest software. I think v10b is the latest since I just download and flashed kdz not up to a week ago.
[LG Optimus L90] danyleene:
Last upgrade d410 -version 10d(russia)
[LG Optimus L90] ichiato:
Well I guess LG are yet to push there update to this side of the world.
[LG Optimus L90] Jerry101923:
Latest version in HK: v10b
[LG Optimus L90] Saljcnj:
I'd only tried this once but I believe that you can make up a stock rom/custom roms using kdz flash in a sense. I had rooted and uninstalled all apps I had installed since root but forgot a game and photo edit app. After flash it restored phone and unrooted and those apps remained on the phone. I even did a factory reset to the phone and the photo edit app remained and is not uninstallable/removable (like bloatware) until you reroot the phone again. My question would be is if anyone has actually tried a successful restore from twrp IMG via adb & USB from a softbrick yet? If so then maybe custom roms are possible but with the USB middle manning the process instead of boot loader?
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Not that simple. You still have to bypass the bootloader. Bootloader checks the signature of the boot.img. The boot.img is signed by LGs key, which we don't have access to. If signature doesn't match, phone doesn't complete bootup. You'll end up with LG Security Error or soft brick.
[LG Optimus L90] Ilxaot:
And you can't exactly copy paste a boot.img to a ROM either lol. Sadly.
[LG Optimus L90] LaDY Vengeance:
Can you imagine the reaction of a LG tech support rep if you ask if that can be done? LOL.
[LG Optimus L90] Ilxaot:
You just made me start laughing lol. xD
[LG Optimus L90] TomJ2:
Hah!! One of us should email and ask. Or better, get a vid chat going and record it. Good comedy is just too rare these days...
[LG Optimus L90] crosswire:
wow, am i really rooted? i just downloaded towelroot, clicked d button and et voilà! it said i was rooted and reboot not required.

tested it and i really do have root access

Thanks guys!

...i still cant believe it, with all tha adb update.zip stuff i kinda lost interest/hope.

(I use d410, is this how it goes for this variant?)
[LG Optimus L90] crosswire:
if i may ask, what does gsmarena mean by when they say d410 supports java, via Java MIDP emulator? I tried running some java (.jar) apllications and it says file type not supported
[LG Optimus L90] Ilxaot:

[LG Optimus L90] Ilxaot:
And to answer your question, I have no idea. All I know is that Android doesn't natively support Java, like, the kind on your computer.

[LG Optimus L90] LaDY Vengeance:
I know that I asked this before...but has anyone tried nuking the D415 laf partition?
[LG Optimus L90] Riku Azhurlar:
tested and works on d415
[LG Optimus L90] Riku Azhurlar:
guys.......

i think i just unlocked the D415 bootloader... but downside is now i cant boot my phone out of this fatboot mode ive gotten it in to. first priority is fixing that. second is some how using this to mnmy advantage
[LG Optimus L90] rysk29:
Could it be true? wish we had a way to test it..

And what exactly did u do?
[LG Optimus L90] Riku Azhurlar:
idk righ now im stuck in this fastboot mode of y own creation until i find a way out o it
[LG Optimus L90] LaDY Vengeance:
*sigh*....nuking the laf is no good. Once it reboots, the phone automatically generates another laf partition.
[LG Optimus L90] aSuperSaiyanG0D:
Does backup to external work?

And does touch screen work too?

Sorry if these questions have been already asked.
[LG Optimus L90] Riku Azhurlar:
yep mos completely working of the recoveries in my opinion
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Use 'fastboot reboot' if still in fastboot mode. Otherwise pull your battery.
[LG Optimus L90] Ilxaot:
Sorry for the late response, landed in Florida and then crashed. Now I'm ready to start my day. :p And he didn't say anything useful, he just started copy pasting huge paragraphs about how they don't know anything and I should call my carrier, haha.
[LG Optimus L90] LaDY Vengeance:
God....that's why I hate using those chat support tools.
[LG Optimus L90] Riku Azhurlar:
thats the proiblem ive pulled the battery and ive done fastbot reboot it didnt lwet me get past it no matter what. it would turn on straight o that mode an di could tell by the text in anycase i got it in firmware update and restored
[LG Optimus L90] Pyro26:
Tried it too. Works great!
[LG Optimus L90] LaDY Vengeance:
Ahhhh, OK. I was reading about the G3 on reddit and it looks like I needed to do one final thing.....

submitted*5 days ago***by*ChikushodoF

The LG G3 does have fastboot, but it's hiding "behind" LG Download mode. The steps to access it are as follows:

Note:*This assumes you've already rooted manually or with PurpleDrake/IOroot and know what adb/fastboot is.

First, backup your LG Download mode (laf) with this code, so you can use LG Flash if necessary.

adb shell su dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf of=/sdcard/laf.img.

Run the following code to zero out laf:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf

adb reboot

For whatever reason, you won't be able to access fastboot via "reboot to bootloader" like most phones, so you've got to do a key combo:

Power Off

Unplug USB

Hold Volume Up

Plug in USB

There you go, access to fastboot.
[LG Optimus L90] LaDY Vengeance:
I tried it right now and it works! I'm going to post a thread about this! [emoji4]
[LG Optimus L90] aSuperSaiyanG0D:
That's awesome!!!

We're now one step closer now!!!
[LG Optimus L90] LaDY Vengeance:

[LG Optimus L90] Ilxaot:
What a great thing to wake up to :D
[LG Optimus L90] rysk29:
i feel like such a mo-ron but what does getting into fastboot mode mean for us?
[LG Optimus L90] LaDY Vengeance:
Fastboot mode is also called bootloader mode! [emoji6]
[LG Optimus L90] rysk29:
so bootloader is unlocked? or can we still not tell
[LG Optimus L90] LaDY Vengeance:
I had to leave home so I didn't have time to use fastboot oem device-info. This should show the status. Maybe someone near a PC can try?
[LG Optimus L90] LaDY Vengeance:
OK. I got my hands on a laptop and ran the commands. The result is

(bootloader) Device tampered: false

(bootloader) Device unlocked: false

(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
[LG Optimus L90] rysk29:
hmmmm... so bootloader is locked... hmmm.. so wats next?
[LG Optimus L90] LaDY Vengeance:
Well...there is the fastboot oem unlock command. Is there someone here brave enough to try? How about that one guy here that's porting roms?
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Someone else tried it and got stuck in fastboot mode.

Time for us all to stop buying phones that mfg's lock down. If you buy it, you own it and should be able to do whatever you want. I'm not renting. I bought it outright. Damn, just as I was thinking I'd keep this phone, a glimmer of hope we might get it unlocked, now I'm thinking I'll return yet ANOTHER one (I have another few days that I can return for full refund) and stick with the 4x HD till something else comes along.

And write LG that they lost a fanboy.
[LG Optimus L90] senxd:
I have the D415 and it's not rooted. I'm trying to increase the earpiece/call volume. I already know how to enter the secret menu but after that, I have no idea where to go. I found some audio tests but that's not what I'm looking for.

Is it possible to increase the volume without rooting through the secret menu? the incall volume is way too low for me.

Thanks for any help
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
I swore after my L9 fiasco that I wouldn't purchase another LG device but here I am with this L90. I cannot return mine tho. I'm so over this crap... It's sad too. LG makes good devices. But all the blame isn't on LG. T-Mobile is just as much to blame. So my next device won't be an LG and carrier won't be T-Mobile either. I'm done with both.
[LG Optimus L90] LaDY Vengeance:
Well...look at it this way. If you go to the LG G3 forum, you'll see that they are pretty much where we're at. They discovered fastboot which is like a step in the right direction! [emoji6]

Went through the same L9 fiasco. Finally just gave that to my mother to bring her into smart-phone era. She's happy with it. It's rooted and bloatware excised, but no custom rom.

I like LG devices, rock-solid reliable for me, have had them since my P509, but with T-Mo's games and insisting that LG close any backdoor, they can take yet another L90 back and stick it in their ear (or rear, whatever).

[quote name='evoname' timestamp='1405327292']

Sorry, but your boot differs from other, that we hack... There are no markers and found vulnerabilities that are on all models of the series 3, we broke. So I'm afraid, with the 415 you have to look for another cracker. In the absence of a device in their hands nothing I can do to help you. In addition, attempts to test firmware versions can lead to collapse. The first two versions of the hack completely killed two of my friends device. If you are ready for your device is 50/50 turn into a brick - we can work remotely, but more closely over the burglary of your device. Guaranteed hack I have not.[/quote]

Does anyone know if this would work on d415? If so how would I go about removing/replacing mine with the new ones? Also thanks guys for all your hard work and sacrifice to get our device where it's currently at. I just read through the whole thread and I have to say I'm extremely eager to get aosp on this device. I know this device would fly with it. It's definitely been a nail biter just reading the thread lol. Thanks again!

well i cant as my phone is bootlooping me... its stuck at tmobile 4g animation
[LG Optimus L90] Ilxaot:
Open the official LG Mobile Support Tool, and go to Options -> Upgrade Recovery, or something like that. I can't guarantee that's exactly what it says, as I'm currently not home. Once you do that, make sure your phone is connected in S/W Upgrade mode, and it should download the KDZ and automatically flash it.

Note - You might have to input your IMEI code, which can usually be found on a sticker behind the device's battery.

Best of luck! If you have any issues, be sure to let me know. (:
[LG Optimus L90] krchi:
It tells me to enter model name, serial number, and imei i enter all those then i get a pop up saying "Check out the model and serial number."
[LG Optimus L90] TomJ2:
Stock ROM backup??

OK, didn't think this one through. Everything else I've rooted/unlocked bootloader on had a recovery. Either stock or CWM. No dice on this. I can load ROM Mgr, but there's no recovery for it so when I force past and try to save the current (stock) ROM, it just reboots. Bypasses recovery.

Who has an idea on how to save our stock ROM (for re-load further down the road if need be)??
[LG Optimus L90] Ilxaot:
Enter only the IMEI and select Okay or whatnot. Don't worry about the SN and Model.

My only suggestion would be to have auto backups of your apps + data, and then in case of emergency, flash KDZ or whatnot and restore the data.

A bit of a hassle, but that's all I can think of..
[LG Optimus L90] krchi:
Thats what i get when i enter my Imei only or i enter all three

Edit: Anyways im gonna try the kdz on my windows 7 desktop and see if i can do it. My windows 8.1 laptop could be problem. Btw flashing kdz doesnt overwrite user data right?
[LG Optimus L90] TomJ2:
Yeah, thanks. What I can do, as far as all the bloatware apps, is do a select-all and move or copy them to a directory on my sd card (with file manager in r/w), then copy to desktop for storage. That "should" work, have I the need to replace them all for some reason (like returning the phone, warranty, etc.)
[LG Optimus L90] Ilxaot:
KDZ doesn't flash over user data, correct. If you continue to have problems, I could use remote-desktop to help you. I've messed with LG's firmware to the point where I'm more than capable of fixing a softbrick (:

Sounds doable! [emoji1]

Haha, if only we were having luck. I'm waiting on him while he eats.

For some reason, his LG Mobile Support Tool won't allow him to update his phone. Technology can be really annoying :p
[LG Optimus L90] TomJ2:
For my experiences from the P509 to the 4x HD to the G2x to the L9..., I NEVER got LG MST to update my phone. Not one time, not one of them. Perhaps because they all were immediately hacked or int'l versions, but the L9 and G2x were tmo's from here. Still never worked. Ever. Almost like a joke program except that others seem to be able to use it fine?
[LG Optimus L90] Ilxaot:
Yeah, I used it at least twenty times, through the Upgrade Recovery option. For some reason, it's not working for him.. His KDZ won't flash either. So I'm trying the PC Suite (ugh), some people said that works.

EDIT: My apologies for leaving Team Viewer, I had to go. You know your situation more than me, as the way I've always done it doesn't seem to be working for you. I assure you that it is recoverable, however. All LG software is. If you cannot fix it, and want me to have another crack at it, feel free to let me know. Also, I don't know how TeamViewer works, but I think it'd be safe to remove the username and password you put on here.. It'd be horrible if someone accessed your computer. :p Best of luck and God bless!

d410 hacked bootloader that flash CWM. And why do you?
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
D410 aboot hack CANNOT be used on the D415. The aboot partition for the D415 is completely different than the aboot partition on the D405 and D410. LG and T-Mobile both have made it almost impossible for the bootloader of the US variants of any Optimus device to be unlocked.
[LG Optimus L90] danyleene:
But CWM flashing, and what else does?
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
That's it for now unfortunately. :(
[LG Optimus L90] danyleene:
But d410 with hacked bootloader so only CWM
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
There are currently 3 recoveries for the L90 - CWM, TWRP, and Philz Touch. All 3 work mostly, but there are still some bugs that need to be worked out of all of them.
[LG Optimus L90] danyleene:
Clear,I ask why you will unlock bootloader
[LG Optimus L90] LaDY Vengeance:
I think the D415 can use a 2nd init recovery. That kind of recovery doesn't need a hacked aboot.
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
To be able to flash custom ROMs. However there aren't any custom ROMS for this device at the moment.

---------- Post added at 03:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------

2nd-init recovery isn't needed on the L90 as you already know. LG and TMobile were nice enough to leave the recovery partition to us. At this point, with the bootloader locked, a 2nd-init ROM would do the trick. I just don't know how to go about creating one... :confused::p

EDIT::

Although I do believe a 2nd-init recovery would bypass some of the recovery issues we're experiencing.
[LG Optimus L90] danyleene:
I'm talking about this
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Right. Unlocked bootloader will allow for flashing of custom ROMs or kernels when they become available. Without unlocking the bootloader flashing any thing ROM related, as in boot.img, kernel, etc., will lead to a soft brick or LG Security Error. The boot partition image is signed with LG's security key. I'm assuming, because that's how I'd do it, that each device has it's own security key. During boot up the locked bootloader checks to see if the boot.img is signed with the correct security key. If it is signed correctly the device will finish booting. If the boot image is not correctly signed the boot up process is stopped and you end up with a soft brick or LG Security Error.
