[LG Optimus L90] SJMarty:
My wife and I currently each have an LG Optimus L9. Both are rooted, running stock ROM, locked bootloader, CWM recovery, and using Online Nandroid Backup. Rooting and Nandroid backups are the most important things to me.

I'm looking at the L90 and have read through a lot of the threads here. It looks like the L90 is rootable with TowelRoot so I'm good with the rooting end of things. I'm not clear on the ability to do Nandroid backups. Is CWM available for the L90? Does the Online Nandroid Backup app work with this phone?

Any pointers, links, etc. would be very much appreciated.
[LG Optimus L90] shoxxy:
Did you one time use search function here ? Or read in this thread. Theres everything available you need
[LG Optimus L90] rysk29:
yes twrp is most recommended right now, backups work fine... online backups im not sure

YES its work with Online Nandroid Backup app

Its all depends on which phone you want to get from L90 family

Hello,

I have run into a bit of a problem with my LG Optimus L90 (D415). :rolleyes:

I rooted the phone using towel root. I then proceeded to rid the system of some unnecessary apps. (I have experience with this from my previous Android device.) I've tried numerous times to try to flash the KDZ but to no avail. I also tried to flash CWM/TWRP without much success, I get a flash of the green Andy then a normal boot. The problem is I cannot hardly access any settings, such as USB debug which sucks because of how much it limits me. I'm willing to lose root or do anything really. Any ideas? :confused:

(Please excuse my nooby noobiness, it's my first post on XDA)
[LG Optimus L90] Ilxaot:
Which KDZ have you been flashing? If it is the D415 KDZ that I linked in this post, it doesn't work and is corrupted. I had the same problem. I'm currently in the process of uploading the complete, working D415 KDZ right now. What is your problem when flashing? If it goes to 2% or so, and then stops, then it's the corrupted KDZ that is the problem.

Also, welcome to XDA! :D
[LG Optimus L90] Pippinkid:
:) Thanks for the welcome! I was trying to flash it on the LG Flash Tool and yes, it would just stick at 2 or 3% and I would actually have to reboot my PC to close out of the program. I was using this guide. http://xdaforums.com/lg-l90/general/guide-flash-stock-kdz-offline-lg-l90-t2803479 I got the KDZ from there. But, if I use this method with your KDZ do you think it might work? Also, have an idea of when the KDZ might be uploaded? This is currently my main driver. :eek:
[LG Optimus L90] Rabid Flasher:
Okay guys I need some help with something:

I'm running Quarx's August 2nd CM11 build on my phone (D415) and I want to restore back to stock. However, I've zeroed out my laf partition and lost the backup I made so I haven't been able to get into download mode and I have no idea what to do now.

So, does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this?

Sent from my LG-D415 running CM11 (4.4.4) ?
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
D415 laf -> http://d-h.st/udi

Flash with Terminal and dd command or fastboot
[LG Optimus L90] Rabid Flasher:
In fastboot would I flash this as a boot image?

As in

"fastboot flash boot laf.img"

Never mind, I did

"fastboot flash laf laf.img" and it worked.
[LG Optimus L90] Pippinkid:
Also, how detrimental is it that I am unable to enable USB Debugging?

Edit: I found a work around.

Thank you for your responses related with the band frequency.

Could you please check with your specific devices (DXXX), firmware, ROMS.... if you have the same problem as me selecting the Radio band (figure attached), with the following procedure?

PD1: for example, do you have a LG Optimus 90 D415 from T-Mobile and this stuff works fine for you with CM 11?

PD2: I dind't have any problem having 3G in Europe with LG 9 T-Mobile in the past
[LG Optimus L90] Rabid Flasher:
Okay, I'm back. Restoring laf worked, but I ended up restoring from a cwm backup i found due to a corrupt kdz download. Now, my only gripe is that my touchscreen is acting weird. I think I read a few pages back about someone going through similar problems. Did they ever find a fix?
[LG Optimus L90] krchi:
http://oudhitsquad.com/android/?dir=LGE/Firmware/D415 this is a D415 kdz I downloaded and used works perfectly
[LG Optimus L90] ichiato:
I just have a few questions regarding the d410 variants.

1. Is the trwp touchscreen glitch now fixed? And how do I go about the fix

2. Can cwm now access the external sdcard?

3. Can phils recovery now access recovery from an off start?

4. After unlocking the boot loader for the d410 variants do I still have to zero out my laff partition to access fastball?

Thanks for your reply
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
1) Yes. Reflash new TWRP over old TWRP. Since it's in '.img' format and not flashable zip you'll need to use fastboot -> "fastboot flash recovery /path/to/twrp.img" or with Terminal Emulator or ADB shell -> "dd if=/path/to/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17". You can also use an app from the Play Store like Flashify.

2) Not sure, I use TWRP

3) Don't understand this question? But I don't think Philz Touch has been updated since it's release for our device,

4) Yes. Only if you want access to fastboot. I recommend it, but that's just my opinion.

Where did you find the cwm backup? I want to go back to stock to check something but I don't want thorugh the whole process of flashing the kdz.
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
I'd say it was a backup he made
[LG Optimus L90] Pippinkid:
What do you mean it works perfectly? I tried to flash it with the LG tool and it just stuck at 2% like every other file I tried. Did you flash it a different way, or am I missing something here?
[LG Optimus L90] krchi:
I don't know which flashed u used but I downloaded that and used the instructions on op to flash my phone method 1 of the flashing guide, in fact I'm pretty sure uptil now I'm prob the only D415 with a kdz with the method on op.

If you use LG Flash Tool

you take Normal flash which is soft reset

CSE flash is true hard reset
[LG Optimus L90] ichiato:
Sorry I can see some typos on my earlier post. When Philz Touch was first released, we could not access recovery from an off state on any device. what I meant to ask is if that is now possible.
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
It's possible, but with Philz-Touch and CWM from what I'm hearing, the key combos will actually force a hard reset. I know for a fact that Philz-Touch will as I got to experience it myself. I don't much care for CWM anymore so I haven't tried with it. TWRP is the only one so far that doesn't perform a hard reset when using the key combo.

The key combo is a tricky thing.

1) Power off device

2) Press and hold Power + Volume Down until the LG logo appears

3) Quickly release Power, not Volume Down, and press and hold Power again until the "Factory Reset" screen appears. Now release all buttons.

4) Use Volume Up/Down to navigate and Power to select. Selecting "Yes" to reset will bring up another confirmation prompt. Choose "Yes" again. You will then get booted in to recovery assuming you are NOT using Philz-Touch or CWM.

please can you post a link to the new twrp. Have seen some with different sizes nowt sure which is the new one. The twrp i have on my phone right now still has the touch screen glitch
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:

You may want to try here instead
[LG Optimus L90] SubliemeSiem:
Actually I'm not sure if the OP in that thread is the most recent. Quarx has posted a few version throughout that thread. BTW: The CWM also doesn't actually perform the hard reset and therefore can be accessed through the power + volume down button combination too.
[LG Optimus L90] shoxxy:
I changed philz touch yesterday that it could boot with hardware keys (factory reset) and make NO factory reset.

I upload the actual build in a few hours when i came home from work ;)

[LG Optimus L90] ichiato:
Before today I was pretty sure trwp backs up to the external sd_card but I just ran a backup now and it went to my internal sd_card. Don't know what am doing wrong. Could it be because I use Rom manager that by default favors the internal sd_card or it's just the new trwp I flash. I abandoned cwm because of this. Also I would like to know, when backing up in twrp Which data partition backs up? The internal or external data? Am pretty sure both my internal and external sd_card is much more than a gig but when using trwp it says my data size is just about 800mb. I don't understand this.
[LG Optimus L90] shoxxy:
There is only internal data (userdata) partition.

About free space on your sd try to unmount thrn remount sd card .

Hi, I was unable to find information on unlocking the bootloader for a L90 D400hn (running v10a). I rooted it with towelroot.

Do you have any info?

The bootloader is already unlocked. LG just makes it seem like it isn't.

[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Bootloader was "unlocked" on the D415. I've never seen the D400 this guy says he has. All the other models must patch their aboot or abootb partitions.

---------- Post added at 10:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 AM ----------

Are you sure your model is D400?? Sorry, haven't encountered that one before now.

EDIT:

My bad! Apparently there is also a D400 model... Only thing I could pull up was in Spanish so I'm not sure what region this device would be used in. I'd say that you will need to patch your aboot or abootb partition but only when a patch is developed.

I have no clue how to revert back to stock android because I'm stuck on Cyanogenmod

anybody have a twrp back up or a way to revert back?

thanks:laugh:
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Did you format /system and wipe cache and dalvik cache? If not, I'll lay odds that's your issue. Reboot back to recovery perform the wipes and format system. Then reflash the ROM. Key combos for booting to recovery are the same as factory reset only if you aren't using Philz Touch as your recovery.

Didn't back up stock....just cleared dalvik/cache and flashed CyanogenMod

Issue with screen lock...??

Anyone else experience this?: You're opening apps, or scrolling through the phone book, or pics and the screen locks after the prescribed time of inactivity. So if you have it set for 30-sec, then no matter if you're using the phone or apps or in play store, whatever, the screen locks, while you're touching it or sending a message entering data, entering a search term in play store, etc.?

Like the phone isn't sensing that you're using it and locks the screen, thinking it's inactive?

Really annoying when you're typing an SMS and it locks on you. Might have to return this fine phone if there isn't something peculiar about kitkat that makes it do this (and that I can fix)!

Hi all,

I'm brand new with this phone and now looking on XDA about it.

I had a HTC Desire X and I had it rooted, s-off and a custom kernel/ROM installed.

But after all I bricked it (by a stupid mistake) and it didn't boot anymore, and had to get it to warranty and they repaired it, without costs.

I was just asking how LG is in this. If I root this phone, will they give me still my full warranty?

Also I am interested if this phone will ever get Android L..

Thank you very much,

Damion
[LG Optimus L90] Ilxaot:
Sorry about your old phone :(

On the subject of updates, I can pretty much speculate that this phone will get L.

In terms of warranties, you'll lose your warranty on any phone if you root it. So if a warranty means that much to you, don't do it. But warranty shouldn't really matter on LG phones because we can return to stock at any time, which also means we don't need to worry about bricking.
[LG Optimus L90] :
Hi there,

Happy to hear we will likely get L :D

The reason I bought this phone my previous phone has been stolen on vacation. The fact my phone was bricked wasn't the reason I bought a new one, because it was repaired.

-

Are the custom ROMs really worth it on this phone? I see more and more are on their way, but I think stock is also pretty good (at least much better than HTC sense!)

Thank you pretty much!

have someone experience with jtag or something else on Lg devices ?

[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Unfortunately, I have no idea what you can do. This is exactly why I insist on enabling fastboot before trying any customizations. With fastboot enabled, LG devices are practically unbrickable. More than likely the factory reset disabled USB debugging on the device. That's why it's not being detected by your PCs.

There's one possibility that I can think of... Can you still boot to recovery and if so, are you using one of the newer TWRP recoveries? If you are, USB debugging is enabled in TWRP. You can then use ADB to zero out your laf partition so that you can then use fastboot to restore your device. Other than that, I have no idea.
[LG Optimus L90] shoxxy:
Thx for Reply...

I have fastboot enabled before, then i play ( to much) around with flashable stock (complet to stock) i could flash it severall times without any Problem. but today :(
