That doesnt work. I sort of accidentally rewrote the boot section and replaced it with the recovery.img that was provided here and now it just stays on the LG life's good screen. I still have access to fastboot though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crutchcorn:
Then use lg flash tool to recover
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordHades21999:
Ok here is what I did. I had rom toolbox on my phone. In rom toolbox, I used the install rom feature to replace the boot with recovery.img.

I also replaced recovery with recovery.img using fastboot and the rom toolbox app.

Now I can get into fastboot

can get into factory reset (Which takes me to CWM-Based Recovery v6.0.5.0). From here I can only select no or root device.

I also have an old backup I did using titanium back up saved in a folder on my desktop.

---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------

Is there somewhere I can get the original img or something?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordHades21999:
Don't know how. I can only use fastboot and only those 2 options in the CWM recovery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sammyz:
Did u make a backup at all with cwm before? If so just restore the boot.img part and you'll be fine. Go to advanced restore from external SD then select boot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordHades21999:
No I didn't. And I don't have all those features available in CWM recovery. Just a yes or no selection.

Here is everything I did.

I need your help. Here's the problem I'm having. I have the LG Optimus L70 and followed the guide that you put up to unlock the boot loader. I did part one no problem except for an error with the memory that a lot of people said they just went on without fixing it. Then, In part 2, I would go on until the fastboot part. On my phone, there is a screen that says download mode, about 6 lines of writing, and then it says "fastboot processing commands."

I did the oem unlock, oem device info, etc. I didn't know if my phone was unlocked or not. Then later on I saw another guide posted up about flashing recovery.img. I tried that, used the rebooter app that was linked in the guide, nothing happened.

So then I used Rom toolbox to flash recovery.img to the phones recovery partition. I used rebooter app to reboot into recovery (CWM 6.0.5.0 recovery) and, went under advanced setting, and tried flashing the rom (atleast thats what I think I did. followed the steps about selecting no the first time, then selecting yes the second time, etc). Nothing happened.

So then, since apparently flashing it to recovery using the guide didn't work and flashing it to recovery from rom toolbox didnt work,

I used rom toolbox to flash it to boot.

I flashed it to boot, and now whenever I try to start the phone, it is stuck on LG Life's good screen.

I can still get into the screen that says fastboot processing commands.

I try to reset the phone using the power and volume down button. That takes me to CWM 6.0.5.0 screen that says "reboot THIS CAN"T BE UNDONE". If I select yes or no, nothing happens. still takes me back to LG life's good screen.

What can you do to help me? Please, just to get this device up and running again, any version of android, whatever. I'll do it.

I have acess to fastboot (have become quite good getting into it.)

What I'm thinking would be to get an original recovery.img from another L70, use fastboot to flash that back to recovery partition and then flash the original rom back.

Also, from reading this you can probably tell that I am basically a complete noob. so Yea I probably screwed up somewhere, you can probably tell where i screwed up, but please help me. I can't send the phone back to metro or LG because when they see the CWM recovery, waranty will be void.

Woah woah woah, what ROM?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordHades21999:
Rom toolbox. an app from the app store.

---------- Post added at 12:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 AM ----------

Ok guys. I've made some progress.

Here is what I did.

I flashed the recovery.img to boot like this.

I opened fastboot and put in "Fastboot flash boot recovery.img"

Now I get the whole Recovery system up again. The options are as listed"

1. Reboot system now. (If I do this I get taken back to this very menu)

2. Install zip

3. Wipe data/factory reset\

4. Wipe Cache partition

5. Back up and restore

6. Mounts and storage

7. Advanced.

Now what? Please someone reply.

I still think if somone can please pass me an original copy of the original boot.img and I flash it to boot using fastboot, I can get this phone running again. please help a brother out bros.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crutchcorn:
Stop trying to use factory reset. It won't help you.

---------- Post added at 01:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 AM ----------

Look, what you need is a flash able zip of a rom. A guy has already told you he will take care of it. Be patient.

Omg. Im so sorry. I didn't see that post. Ok whatever you guys say.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMedina559:
Yeah its the original just unlocked. Can you try flashing back to download mode and get lg tool to reflash it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crutchcorn:
It's okay, you're new. The reason why factory reset won't help is because you wiped out the data in factory reset. It doesn't do anything for you for the moment. You broke your rom. Needs to be replaced.

---------- Post added at 01:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 AM ----------

Dude.... That won't help him. It needs to be locked. If he tried using factory reset then he'd need the stock bootimg
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordHades21999:
When I flash the recovery.img (that was provided in this thread) to boot on the phone, the recovery comes up where I can select to restore a back up from an external sd chip.

I have another android phone that I can use to drop whatever files onto my sd chip.

So if thats what you mean, I can drop files onto my sd chip, and most likely can use them using the recovery.img that i downloaded from here.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smithrock:
Thanks Sammyz;

Can you elaborate how to delete the backup?

Are you saying that when I used the AA's script, the backup automatically created?

How do I delete? I am using file explorer on my computer looking at the phone's internal storage, which file is the backup file that I can either delete or move it to the computer?

Under "download" folder, there is a laf.img which is 22MB, is this the file are you referring to?

I am getting "low on storage message" and I am trying to fee-up some space. I have Titanium backup installed and when I tried to remove some apps like Metropcs411 using Titanium, the message comes up that "apk not found" and would not let me remove the app. On my other phone, Titanium would let me remove apps but for some reasons, I cannot remove some apps on this phone.

thanks for your help.

never mind, I re-booted into CWM and deleted backups. I had two backups- strangely 1970 pre-fix, I am wondering it should say "2014" ?

Sorry, yea wrong link :o (fixed now)

Um tell me exactly how you bricked? And I know what's wrong and how to fix it, but how did you brick it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mubin.bzs.06:
Not sure about the exact cause. I did couple of things. But my assumption is... I was trying to partition my SDCARD via Aparted, may be I chose internal memory by mistake and when i realised, I had already pressed reboot! I think is the whole internal partition is gone. Checked via Partition Magic, got the phone partition deleted :( I also tried to recover data from that but they are not usable :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sammyz:
Yea, um no. You erased the bootloader (aboot partition) :p

sammyz has done this before and has fixed it.

But I'm not home. Do yourself a favor and download Linux and create a live DVD/USB drive. You will need Linux to fix this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silver Rivers:
I'm inclined to agree with your logic, crutchcorn. If he wiped factory data then there's nothing to reset.

And did I read that you, LordHades, attempted a ROM flash from RTP? Where were you going with that endeavour, mate?

Disregard the above last...I went back & reread your post. You were just utilizing RTP to flash the recovery & not another rom. Probably shouldn't oughta done that. Isn't that tool exclusively for roms?

Has anybody found a WORKING apps2sd solution yet?

I've tried using this method: Apps that can be pointed to the external SD but it does not free up the internal storage?

It tells me that a link has been created but doesn't do anything above the standard "move to SD" command in the app settings - or at least, it doesn't "appear" to do anything, as I still run out of the miserable allocation of internal space...:confused:

I can free up about 300MB of internal storage, before I start putting apps onto the phone that I like - but everything I put on just reduces the internal space down to around 100MB - then even with 100MB free, 9MB apps won't install due to "lack of storage space"...
