First of all,

Thank you and your team for all your hard work!

I must say that while there may be SOME risk which I understand, hard bricking a LG phone is pretty hard, you'd have to wipe the bootloader + recovery for it not to boot anymore, or unplug the phone while flashing, something that could happen in any flashing process.

I think its important, while maintaining a disclaimer, to share these files, since people like me, who use this to test my built roms (when the device config is ready), need these in the meantime,

Just saying...

Thanks again for the hard work!

[G3 General] saMMuel'sky:
One more question guys.

Today I got a message for software update, and I pressed on button to install it... But when the phone rebooted, after LG's logo at the startup, the only thing that was on the screen was "[700] fastboot mode started". I remember that the number is always different. The first time was something like [660].

And this was on for about half an hour, till I didn't pull out the battery. Then I tried to restart it, but again, it showed this and no updating...

Could maybe somebody here help me what should I do, because I think this has something to do with custom recovery?

I would be really grateful for some help again.

Thanks alot!
[G3 General] pRo_lama:
Did read whole FAQ and posts here?
[G3 General] saMMuel'sky:
Yes, I read the FAQ.

I tried those steps below, but it doesn't work. And I forgot to save my recovery onto PC. :( Looks like the phone can't read it now from the sd card.

When I try adb shell it says that the device is not found.
[G3 General] pRo_lama:
Which version do you have ?
[G3 General] saMMuel'sky:
If you're asking about TWRP, then I really don't know where to find version? I downloaded it on last Sunday.
[G3 General] pRo_lama:
I'm asking about your G3. Which version do you have? 16GB D855 or 32GB D855 ?
[G3 General] saMMuel'sky:
Oh... 32GB D855.
[G3 General] pRo_lama:
Here is my backup - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54507165&postcount=102 - you can try it. It's from 32GB D855 with v10f (India).
[G3 General] saMMuel'sky:
So this is not any difference between different countries? I come from Slovenia.

But I think I can use this one, just to come back to the phone, and then save mine which I backuped when I installed TWRP?
[G3 General] pRo_lama:
If you have own backup, why don't you use it? Just write right path to backup.
[G3 General] saMMuel'sky:
I tried but it didn't work.

Well I did it with yours now. But the update was not done, due to some error.

I will immediately save my recovery.img to the PC now, to use it if I'll have this again.

Thanks alot for your help! :)
[G3 General] pRo_lama:
Try CSE flash. ;)
[G3 General] saMMuel'sky:
Well I got back in the phone, and did software update again, and now I'm stuck on the reboot again.

Saying this:

I tried adb shell again, but the device is not found. I'm really totally lost and confused right now.

Also when I type in cmd "fastboot boot recovery.img" it doesn't work. It said that DTB offset is incorrect bla bla..

Sorry for so many questions, but I want to fix that, so I can use my phone. :o

The g3 shows Google inc as vendor when booted through fastboot, probably you need the Google usb drivers.

Check the following link to install them.

[G3 General] :
Shouldn't it be possible to boot any ROM tethered this way? I understand the risks, but for people trying to develop AOSP, that'd be extremely helpful. I'm assuming all you'd need to do is wipe the recovery partition and adb reboot to recovery, forcing it to go to fastboot, fastboot the TWRP, flash the ROM, wipe the boot partition and use the fastboot command to start up the kernel each time the phone starts up. There might be risks, but hey, iPhone users were plagued with tethered jailbreaks for a long while, so what's so bad about it on Android?
[G3 General] Tectas:
Yes, that's how it could be done, there is just no need to wipe the boot partition, it won't boot properly anyways.

Problem with it especially at early stage aosp roms, as soon as a reboot happens you're stuck till you get to a PC where fastboot is set up.

That's more an option for custom stock kernels, where you still can boot at a reboot, but just will miss the advantages of the custom kernel and for development in advance, but not for the user, at least for my opinion.

[G3 General] xstormli:
my phone is stucked at boot (can't even make it to bootanimation), caused by editing on buildprop.

is there anyway that I can work with recovery from here, chief?

Thank you, will be waiting online……
[G3 General] shaarky:
I guess it should work (in certain phase of reboot), but still safer would be using LG PC Suite with option Restore upgrade errors, then just root again. You should not loose any settings or app.data.
[G3 General] suljo94:
to restore your phone follow my steps exactly

1) pull out the battery and note the emei number (see sticker under the battery) then reinseert it and press and hold volume+ while connecting charger

2) release buttons when phone says download mode.

3)download your firmware via this site, replace imei of my url with your imei number

4)download this tool find the .exe file and start it then navigate to your file with the "find kdz option"(do not change the other fields)

5) press Cse Flash

6) press start chose your country and language

7) ignore the could not connect to server error

8) if that didn’t work try it over from step 5 but now with cse flash instead of normal flash

9) do not disconnect until you boot completely up for the second time

10) thank me for my post
[G3 General] xstormli:
thank you chief, i have successfully done a backup this morning~~~I feel so much secured, lol
[G3 General] xstormli:
Thanks

hey chief, i know how to restore KDZ.

i was asking if i could work on TRWP even when I am stuck at boot.

but thanks anyway, that's a lot of things you typed, i'll try to state my issue more clearly next time.
[G3 General] Tectas:
You still can get to twrp as long as your recovery is still not restored to stock, because you can get to fastboot with the button combo then, but to keep your recovery removed can bring other issues like forcing a bootloop, when you try to apply an official update.

Sent from my LG-D855
[G3 General] badtzo:
If you did a backup with twrp you can restore system without wiping and then will boot the rom again. This happen to me when tried to change a value on build.prop

But I did laf method for getting fastboot (TWRP) via hardware buttons. I don't know if there is a button combo as Tectas said to get into recovery (fastboot).

If you can't get into fastboot then you will need another method to flash kdz/tot and then run twrp to restore your rom.

Hello Guys,

Sorry for my Bad English, thats the first.

And now my Problem:

I have get today the OTA Update to 10h

I have forget to read the 3rd Question in the FAQ, and i stucked in fastboot mode.

I have tried to flashback my recovery.img so...:

adb shell

su

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

(what is on my SD Card and on my PC), but i get a error in fastboot mode

error 202

What can i do now to restore my old backup to do new OTA?

MFG

Andy from Germany
[G3 General] Tectas:
I guess you've tried the adb commands while you are in twrp booted over fastboot, if not, try it that way.

Another option would be to flash back the stock recovery through fastboot.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

You have to be in the folder where the recovery.img is stored on your pc.

Sent from my LG-D855
[G3 General] Rapire:
Back again...

Now i have flashed the Recovery like you have wrote:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

but now i have the Problem that my Device say that it dont give a new Update :confused:
[G3 General] suljo94:
do not try to update you will get stuck in a bootloop(into fastboot, if you already did the I hope for you that you have backed up your recovery.img to your pc
[G3 General] Rapire:
i was in the Bootloop, but i have had the Recovery.img on my PC, so i have recover it on Fastboot.

So i have now the Original Recovery on my Device, but now i dont get the Update, not Automaticaly and not Manualy.
[G3 General] Tectas:
Check your version, I guess it has been applied already after you booted into recovery after you flashed it back.

BTW, if it's easier for you, you can send me a pm in German, I'm Austrian ;)

Can the d855.img be installed on the phone using TWRP Manager

Excellent work, Finally I have a Nandroid backup AND restore solution that works.

Can the D855.img (that is extracted from the TWRP 2.7.1.3 package) be deployed to the phone using a solution like TWRP Manager or is purley designed for Tethering ONLY use ?

If not, does anyone know if the phone based solution for the D855 is close to completion ?

Will do.. To let everyone know what I'm up to.. I have a modified version of a tool [nut] (of "Xperia Dual Recovery for LB" fame) made that we have managed to hijack init with (eg. trigger recovery boot via vol up) ~ oretty sure all files put into correct places for LB recovery - just cant seem to get recovery to boot though. (Tar of ramdisk from d855.img) Normal boot without vol (event3) but just cant get the final stage to boot (argh...)

Not helped by the lack of linux tools for returning to stock software after unsuccessful attempts [emoji34]

Another thing they may slow me down is my lack of real skills and reliance on real developers' work to piggyback off hehe

I've been caught out by the Stupidest thing.. Sdcard failure - had my nandroid and more importantly my stock recovery backup - my problem now is that I can't flash stock firmware without this recovery being restored (neither flashtool nor pc suite works without it). So stuck with a phone I can't boot into except for TWRP.img (via fastboot) . Guess I could flash one of the custom stock roms to boot into but not sure what to do then.

Question to all is (please) - how to get back stock recovery if no backup? Thanks I'm advance :)
[G3 General] kingofdevils:
Easyest is to call a friend with same model than you, make a nandroid with his mobile and restore it in your phone. I have one, but is big (3Gb) and spanish connections are very poor, if I start today to upload it, You can get it monday or tuesday.

EDIT: If you try to launch original recovery.img? I have a copy of my original recovery.img, it´s can´t help you?

EDIT2: I has same problem last week, and flashtool can help me flashing a KDZ directly, you try it?
[G3 General] :
You have two solutions, one is to download the stock recovery from the OP, boot up twrp and use ADB to flash the recovery you downloaded, then use your favourite method to flash the stock firmware, or another way is to remove the battery, hold the volume down button, plug in the battery and plug it to the computer while the button is still held and use the flash tool to flash the stock recovery. If you need to recover data I'd suggest you try the first method but be VERY careful to type the dd commands properly because you can fry your phone to an irrepairable state if you make a small typo. I can't stress that one enough.

In order to flash the stock recovery with dd, you need to first push the recovery file with ADB to a folder, and restore it from ADB root shell.
[G3 General] iBuzman:
Thanks guys. Good lesson for me to read OP properly.. I saw that link and thought it a link to TWRP version (as opposed to the "save idiots from themselves" stock version) :) [emoji106]
