(Sorry for the long post) ?

Hello mate. Good to be in touch with you again. I think I did a huge mistake and I really appreciate your help.

I wanted to try and "cook" a new TWRP 2.8.4.0 with Modem Support with a new splash screen. I used the "Android Image Kitchen" which I flashed before hand. I got it from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2073775 using the AIK-Mobile-Installer.

I didn't have an .img file (only have the flashable zip) so I extracted on my phone the zip of the recovery above.

I grabbed that extracted .img file of TWRP together with the new .jpg splash and put it into the "kitchen".

I chose the option to flash the new recovery when finished "cooking".

After reboot I got into the new recovery and new splash with no problems.

I rebooted again and the problem started.

I got into a "bootloop" (?) at the splash screen with it flashing on and off. I took out the battery, rebooted and the same happen.

I then went to Flashify and flashed the recovery you "cooked" for me.

Got stuck at the splash screen again and pulled out the battery.

Flashed with Flashify the stock LG G3 recovery and it was fine but I can't flash anything with this recovery.

Everything else is working fine (ROM) and I can boot into the system. All is smooth here.

Thinking back now, I am under the impression that when I extracted the TWRP .img it stopped being Bumped! Is this correct?

What can I do now?

Have I damaged my recovery partition?

When I got into the first bootloop in recovery, before the bootloop, a black screen came up and on the top left had very small letters saying something like "boot security" or something similar.

I still have the kitchen installed, which was flashed so don't know if this is the problem and to uninstall I need to flash my ROM backup. I cannot because I am on stock recovery.

I am sorry for the long post but I need it.

I should have asked you before doing this but I thought I didn't want to bother you again...the result is this. ?

Thank you mate.

[MENTION=5171262]ac3ofS2[/MENTION]: sorry, but some suggestions ;)

I'd use fastboot to first clear recovery partition and then flash it again:

fastboot format recovery

fastboot flash recovery yourrecovery.img

Flashify is "nice", but it depends on a working recovery in the first place to execute it's flashing operation.

Your recovery should still be bump'ed, otherwise you'd get security error (white text on black screen) right from the start.

Just my 2 cents, hope you get it running in no time. :)
[G3 Android Development] droidbits:
Thank you for your help. I only asked for the OP to reply so the thread doesn't get too confusing. ?

I got that security screen before the bootloop (see original post). Is this bad and not fixable?

Also, I am without a laptop at the moment. Can I do what you mentioned on my phone, maybe using a phone Terminal?

Thank you so much.

----------------------------------------

Edit: Was the problem with all this that when I extracted the zip, the recovery image file became "not Bumped"?
[G3 Android Development] eastitus:
Once you made changes, you have to bump it again. Instructions and the tool is here
[G3 Android Development] tobitege:
[MENTION=5171262]ac3ofS2[/MENTION]: couldn't resist to try to help a fellow XDA'er. :D

I overread the security error you mentioned now, [MENTION=4265868]eastitus[/MENTION] already answered that, good, but afaik there's no "mobile" version for bump unless you somehow run Python on it.
[G3 Android Development] eastitus:
Oops, missed the part where you mention that you don't have a laptop. But basically, yeah, the security error is simply because you haven't bumped it yet. [MENTION=5598729]pHaZic[/MENTION] can (and will, dude's doing amazing work here helping out both devs and users) bump it for you. Just continue using the old bumped recovery you're using previously for now.

Thanks guys for the help.

I guess I need to read the advice and the thread indicated for the solution.

I never done this before (fastboot) so I must learn first.

*As mentioned before, was the whole problem caused because when I extracted the zip, the recovery image file became not Bumped?

So that I understand where the mistake come from please.

Thank you once again. You guys were fantastic. ?

Thing is that I am on stock LG G3 recovery because the Bumped ones get me into the mentioned bootloop. I don't understand...they are Bumped and are getting me in a bootloop.

Maybe because I got the security warning.
[G3 Android Development] tobitege:
Hmm... if recovery is bumped you should not get the security error in the first place and the error has to be acknowledged also.

If you then get a bootloop, it could have other reasons (unclean recovery partition, that's why I mentioned the fastboot commands) or the used kernel in the rom... very weird what you experience... I knock on wood for you to get it solved in no time, mate! :)
[G3 Android Development] droidbits:
I think the problem is that when I unzipped the recovery it became not bumped. I think I read this on another thread.

I think you are correct. Only through fastboot because somehow I corrupted my recovery partition.

Flashify lets me flash a bumped recovery but I still get in bootloop.

I have to learn first how to get in fastboot, how to use the commands and where to put the recovery image so the command goes and gets it to flash but I can search the Forum or the net. ?

Been flashing ROMs for many years but never had to get into fastboot.

Edit: kernel is stock CyanogenMod 12.
[G3 Android Development] tobitege:
Most current adb/fastboot files here (v1.0.32; not my source): https://mega.co.nz/#!rB1m3LrB!IAazl_yqZRrrW7L4lGuJlJ1J4zK1ZbOVb9JwyVoOShY

Extract in a folder to your liking and add that folder to your search path. Then you can go to the folder which contains your recovery etc and from there use either adb or fastboot commands. Have fun! ;)

Hi there. ?

Well, well, well.

So I thought I'd try once more to flash the bumped recovery through Flashify [since I was on stock LG recovery) and...to my surprise it worked!!!

No bootloops, I was able to add one of these themes and restore my ROM backup.

I've rebooted various times into recovery and not a hassle.

Truly guys, I don't know what happened before. I might be a noob in flashboot but I am no noob flashing ROMs or images through TWRP or Flashify.

Cannot understand it. I did exactly the same as the other times.

I'm an IT tech and I know technology is just like this...behaves in strange ways sometimes.

Let me tell you that your help WAS NOT in vain. Because of this "problem" I researched about fastboot, commands, how to bump an image, etc. I learnt a great deal from you guys. I suppose this is what makes our XDA-Developers Community so exceptional.

Thank you all. If you ever need me just PM me. ?
[G3 Android Development] B@sti:
Thank you for replyin' some kind words.

I think i can talk for me and those other mates if i say that you're welcome.

It's nice to see that there are users like you which are happy

if someone explains stuff to them or just trys to help in other wise.

If you need again something to get bumped just let me know.

Hope you guys have some free time to include this splash screen on the new 2.8.5.0 :D:good::good:
[G3 Android Development] ad astra:
hi ppl! im new to the LG G3, been a galaxy nexus user for a long while... unlockable bootloaders pampered me too much lol

im curious as to know if the recovery images provided by flashify are also bumped... i downloaded mine directly from the in app prompt, so i would get the latest twrp version (instead an old one sitting on a booyah tutorial site.

for obvious reasons I'm inclined believe that they are, but i just wanted to make sure so i don't end up wiping my phone when manually entering recovery (through power + vol down method).

thanks a buch!
[G3 Android Development] tobitege:
They'd be completely useless if they were not bumped. :)

Can i flash this over the stock 20h rom? Trought the fastboot?
[G3 Android Development] B@sti:
Hey buddy,

if i'm right you can't flash it over the stock ROM of LG

since it has a locked bootloader.

You have to get your phone rooted (downgrad to KitKat, then root)

to be able to flash a custom recovery on your device.

After that you're free to use every pre-rooted stock ROM

that's available here on XDA on mass.

Cheers.

I downloaded the .img and flashed using flashify.

But when I reboot to recovery, the UI of it is still the same (old) style.

What did I miss?
[G3 Android Development] B@sti:
It's just the splash screen, not a full theme that changes the GUI.

Update to TWRP 2.8.5.1 - Changelog:

* F2FS Filesystem Support

* Double Tap to Wake

All images updated to the latest TWRP build as usual.

Second post massively updated with 27 new splash screens!

When the next update for TWRP sees the light of day,

i won't update all the images, because it's a lot of work

and nobody really seems to care about it so if you want

to use one of the provided splash screens,

just request it and i will upload it for you instead

of working 4 hours to update every single one.

[G3 Android Development] B@sti:
Please discuss that in another thread. I don't know it since i rooted with a to kitkat downgraded device.

Downgrade it, root it, flash twrp, flash stock LP and you won't have problems.

I don't think there will be a TWRP for devices that got rooted while Lollipop

is running since there's no way to bypass the need of bumped files.

Without the signature that bumping adds to the files you won't be able

to do anything with your phone except modify the rom with root access like

debloating it and that's why you have to downgrade to kitkat before you

get twrp to work to flash a bumped lollipop rom.

Stock roms via OTA are not bumped so it won't work with twrp.

You gain root but you can't flash custom files/roms so you should downgrade to get going any further.

The bootloader is locked. Period.

It's surely great that V20 roms can be rooted now while they're installed but

imo at least for now you won't get a custom recovery to work without doing that

downgrade procedure.

No bumped ROM incl. boot.img = no bumped recovery.

Time will tell how the devs deal with it. Imo it's possible but you'll have to wait for them.

Hey,

Im getting a message when backing up in recovery:

"E: Unable to locate '/modem' partition for backup calculations"

In total number of partitions to backup it states 5.

Whats up with that? is that okay? I have reception and wifi and LTE as normal.
[G3 Android Development] droidbits:
Hi.

When backing up

any

ROM it is best to backup the first 3 partitions:

Data, System and Boot

.

This way, when you have a problem with the ROM and need to use that backup it will only restore the ROM itself with apps, etc.

You should have a

separate

backup of your EFS <where your IMEI is stored> and

keep it somewhere safe

. Either on an ext SD card or even away from the phone such as in a computer. If for some reason <when flashing a ROM for example> your EFS folder gets deleted, you can kiss your phone goodbye as you have lost your IMEI.

It is extremely hard and rare to fix such thing

. So backup your EFS separately in recovery.

The same goes for your Modem. Back it up and keep it on ext SD. If you loose this backup is not such deal as with EFS because you can find Modems pretty easy...not like the IMEI which is a unique number. Backup the Modem separately also.

As I have mentioned before for the ROM just select Data, System and Boot <the 3 together in one backup> and you will have no worries.

*a few months ago I was not even flashing anything for 3 days and I was going to make a call and my EFS folder all of a sudden disappeared! I had no reception, no network, no wifi and no IMEI...but...I had my EFS backup in my ext SD, and that my friend saved my beloved LG G3* ;) *backup your EFS as soon as you can please*
[G3 Android Development] samuelaviv:
Yup, I do have my original EFS folder from when I first got the phone, and a backup of my original KK modem.

I was just wondering if something was broken in some way cause I started seeing that error and I dont think it was always there.

Usually when I backup I use the default settings in my TWRP and EFS is ticked for backup by default, I dont bother changing that,

lately, I started seeing that error and figured maybe something went wrong.

If we're on the subject of EFS backup though, will my original backup of the EFS folder work cross ROMs and builds i.e. KK to LP? that is, if I need to restore EFS right now on my custom lollipop ROM will the backup from the stock KK work?
[G3 Android Development] droidbits:
Yes your EFS backup will work on any ROM custom or stock. You can backup EFS on one ROM and flash it on another. EFS is unique and created specifically for your phone<therefore containing the phone's IMEI which is unique in the world> Furthermore, an EFS backup

from another

phone

WILL NEVER

work on your phone. Don't even try that. EFS is one of a kind.
