Hello guys, this is a Tutorial for the LG optimus L5 step for step Rooting, Installing bootloader, installing CWM and finally installing ROMS.
I made this thread because i thought the other threads are a bit scattered all over the Lg optimus forums which is a bit obsecure.
So here I set up the steps! Good luck!
NOTE: THIS IS AN OLD THREAD, THE METHOD USED HERE MIGHT NOT WORK ANYMORE. IF YOU CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THIS TUTORIAL MAKE SURE YOU KNOW HOW TO FIX THINGS WHEN YOU ****ED UP, NEITHER WILL I REPLY TO ANY QUESTIONS ASKED SINCE I DON'T HAVE THE DEVICE ANYMORE
Before doing any of these things: MAKE A BACKUP!
ROOTING
First, What is rooting? (for noobs)
For rooting the L5 you need the following things: "IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk" & a root package provided by XxXKINGMAKXxX (Attatched below)
1) go to system settings --> developer options --> turn USB debugging ON
Then, go to system settings --> Security --> allow unknown sources
2) Install SystemBackupTest.apk with a file manager then, open the app and reboot - the app should be kept open while rebooting !important!
when the phone is completely rebooted, change your mobile connection mode to “Charge Only Mode”, then reconnect the cable.
4) Run root.bat from the root package, your phone will reboot and it will be rooted!
UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER
For all E617g owners, go to thishttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2392762 thread.
You need to install bootloader if you want to continue with the next steps.
Its very important to choose the right unlock file, else you will get bootloops!
5) if you got E610/E612g, download emmc_appsboot for E610
if you got E612, download emmc_appsboot for E612
if you got E615, download emmc_appsboot for E615
next, install terminal emulator from google play unrar &
copy emmc_appsboot.bin to your internal SD card.
then, open up terminal emulator and type in:
su
[*] dd if=/sdcard/emmc_appsboot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
[*] reboot
INSTALLING CLOCK WORK MOD
6) Download "recovery.img" and copy it to your internal SD card.
(there is a special recovery img for the E615 - look in the attatchments)
7) Type in terminal emulator:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/sdcard/recovery-backup.img (optional - makes a back-up)
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
reboot recovery
If you did everything good your phone will now reboot in CWM!
If you want to go into CWM any other time: turn off your phone then, press volume down + power, when the menu lights pop up press home button for 2 seconds and you will see CWM.
ROMS
This isn't difficult at all, just download some roms (given below) and drag and drop the zip file into your external/internal sd card.
Before flashing a custom rom do a factory reset trough cwm!
Go into CWM and go to the folder where you placed your custom rom. You can navigate with the volume buttons and the power button(=enter).

Regarding E612G/E612F
For everyone with E612G/E612F/E610V/E610GO, these aren't compatible with CWM/bootloader, so no CWM means no custom ROMS. You can only root your phone and thats it!

You shouldnt have flashed v20 if you want cm10, also if you want to install a new rom first delete /system, /data and media /dalvik /cache, just wipe everyting from your phone then install cm10(.1).

READ, The titel already says stock ICS to Customrom!!! ICS = android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich !!!
- See my other Tutorial if you want Root + CWM on 4.1.2. --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405357
I would like to suggest updating cwm to a newer version and avoiding the cwm v. 6.0.2.8. Look up for another newer. Recently, some of us we had problems with that version.
is there no tool like the AIO -ToolKit to just override everything for the 610? other than kdz. something that does work when the mpt driver fails to install?

Flashing a kdz relocks the bootloader.
You can also relock the bootloader by flashing an unmodified about.img for your model.

Hi guys. I'm not really sure if i'm in the right place to ask this question but i managed easily to root, unlock bootloader and flash cwm recovery so i thought when this thread helped with all of above (and thanks for that!) maybe someone can answer me how to (and can i) do a sim unlock of d620r ?
I'm having an LG phone for the first time. Other androids i had (mostly samsung and sony) i was able to unlock quite easy finding online tutorials but with this one i'm stuck cause i don't seem to be able to find any help on google or here on xda.
Any info would be very appreciated

I'm having an LG phone for the first time. Other androids i had (mostly samsung and sony) i was able to unlock quite easy finding online tutorials but with this one i'm stuck cause i don't seem to be able to find any help on google or here on xda.
Any info would be very appreciated

So is your device branded?
Sent from my GT-I5500 [CM11]
For Lg d625 what "type" and "phone mode" should i select?
Thanks!
Required:
- Flashtool in the latest version from: http://flashtool.net
- DualRecovery by NUT as installer.zip: http://nut.xperia-files.com (Download the correct one for your device and at least version 2.8.1+!)
- Root on 23.0.A.2.93 (Download) for example with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/giefroot-rooting-tool-cve-2014-4322-t3011598
Featurelist:
- SuperSU integrated
- DualRecovery by NUT integrated (2.8.1)
Can be used on locked and unlocked bootloader.
Firmware Files:
D5803 and D5833
- Flashable.zip's and FTF files in folders - sorted by devices
The Flashable.zip i've created with the mighty tool PRFCreator by zxz0O0.
Installation/Update (short) guide:
0. Downgrade to the firmware 23.0.A.2.93 and root it (with giefroot)
0.1. Install the LockedDualRecovery by NUT with the installer.zip (install.bat)
1. Put the downloaded update file (ROM.zip) on your device. I recommend you to put it directly on the device.
2. Boot into the recovery (While rebooting -> when the info LED flashs -> press shortly the VOL button for the Recovery you prefer)
(On Recovery you may create a twrp/cwm backup of your device if you get any issues on updating process!)
3. Flash the ROM update file (.zip) with "install zip".
4. Wipe cache and dalvik cache (perhaps under advanced).
5. Reboot to system.
You may have to wait some minutes on the first boot because of initializing system for first time (optimizing apps etc.).
What to do if you get permission errors? (While installing for example the Recovery)
Untill NUT updates his DualRecovery you should fix permissions with ADB with the following commands:
(tested with command line from the giefroot_V...\files\ directory -> shift + right mouse -> open cmd "here")
Either you could try the modified DualRecovery (installer) by NUT (modified by monx): http://d-h.st/iM9p
Code:
adb push systemrw.sh /data/local/tmp
adb push modulecrcpatch /data/local/tmp
adb push wp_mod.ko /data/local/tmp
adb shell
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/systemrw.sh
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/modulecrcpatch
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/wp_mod.ko
su
cd /data/local/tmp
./systemrw.sh
Special Thanks to:
[NUT] (DualRecovery and his efforts!)

Which ftf to use for d5833?
Great , thanks! In case we can go back to totally stock? (For any case) And for lollipop I imagine will have to flash a rom, right?

You may delete some specific folders on internal SD (sdcard0) and flash a ftf without changing anything (like wipes etc.).

The "ROM" i've opened to you on this thread is a stock rom (just with SuperSU and DualRecovery integrated).
There is the stock kernel inside why it runs on both. Locked and unlocked bootloader!

Two questions, the .93 fw was country specific, this update doesn't require a specific version?
I feel kind of clumsy asking this but i haven't found the meaning of "XZDR", what does it mean?
Thanks!

There's a problem with RIC on .5.77, making it impossible to mount system r/w. Nothing to do with root, as you can do other root actions just fine.
You just need to update XZDR, [NUT] just uploaded 2.8.1, which has been fixed for Z3C on .77. Also TWRP has been updated.
Edit: Sorry, see that you already updated OP for XZDR 2.8.1.

Hello,
Many people have problem with bricked device because they complied many diffrent tutorials and broke their G2.
I will explain you how to root stock rom/update bootloader and back to stock via lg flashtool.
Perform operations step by step
Okay, so first thing - ROOT STOCK LG ROM.
1. Stump ROOT (Without usb cable, working with 20h ROM)
Stump Root v1.2 (Newest version)
-->> Download Stump ROOT v1.2 <<--
Go to settings>general>security and check "Unknown Sources" to install external APKs.
Now install Stump ROOT app from download link. (In installation progress Android will ask you for install permisions because this integrate in system code. OFC ACCEPT)
Open Stump ROOT and press GRIND, then wait sec and press BruteForce, after 1-2 min your device will restart and now u got ROOT, u need install -->> SuperSU <<-- from market.
2. Install TWRP for your device. (Autorec)
-->> Download AUTOREC <<--
Okay, it's easiest step, just install Autorec application (Be sure it's for your model in file name!)
Open, accept and flash.
This way will downgrade your bootloader and kernel. After device reboot u have already ROOT and TWRP.
Now u can update first your TWRP to newest 2.8.5.1
-->> HERE THEARD WITH NEW TWRP <<--
If you download new TWRP, then u can easy flash it via -->> Flashify <<-- app from market. There select recovery>zip and select your new TWRP, it will reboot device to recovery and flash. (BE SURE IT'S FOR YOUR D802 MODEL!!)
3. Update bootloader. (IMPORTANT!!! U ALWAYS NEED UPDATE BOOTLOADER WITH VERSION ROM WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE, IF YOUR ROM V20H, USE 20H BOOTLOADER, IF YOU HAVE 20D, THEN USE 20D BOOTLOADER OR UPDATE YOUR DEVICE TO 20H!!)
Now u need becareful, because it is easy way to brick device if you will not perform tutorial.
-->> Download v20h bootloader <<--
Download bootloader to your memory storage in device, and open flashify, press Menu button and Reboot Recovery, when it will reboot to TWRP, press INSTALL and select bootloader v20h zip file in path you downloaded it.
Now reboot device and Enjoy ROOTED device with newest bumped TWRP and newest bootloader.. AND NO BRICK )
Enjoy your powerfull device.
I will update theard with new steps like install kernels, back to stock step by step, easiest way to secure your device.
I know there are many tutorials, but we have still many people on XDA with problems like QS_BULK device, 9008, secure verify problem etc etc. So this is way to bypass every danger things.
Im not creator of any used in this tutorial mods, i just complied few theards to few easy steps

Hi good Job!
I have Two questions.
Can i upgrade my twrp Version with flashing the zip file in twrp?
Which Bootloader version use cyanogenmod 12?
Thank you!
A few additional info for the D802 variant:
-You don't NEED to change boot loader if you're fully on stock unless:
--You plan to use AOSP Lollipop
--You use any JB based ROMs (they should say in their respective threads for the D802)
-If you stick with the KK boot loader, only flash BUMPed flashables (they should state if they use this method)
-I recommend to use Blastagator's TWRP as it has thermal protection that stock TWRP doesn't have
-Only flash ROMs/any other flashables while the phone is cool
-Most ROMs can use the KK modem unless stated otherwise
Correct me on any misunderstood/incorrect information

Ok, good. I liked your tutorial, pretty informative.
Hello, i'm stuck at this step :
"3. Update bootloader. (IMPORTANT!!! U ALWAYS NEED UPDATE BOOTLOADER WITH VERSION ROM WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE, IF YOUR ROM V20H, USE 20H BOOTLOADER, IF YOU HAVE 20D, THEN USE 20D BOOTLOADER OR UPDATE YOUR DEVICE TO 20H!!)

Edit : i flashed the rom without KK bootloader and it worked
-> I Was on 20H. I rooted, installed twrp, updated twrp. I've flashed 20d KK bootloader and now, secure booting error
I have access to download mode. What can i do do boot normally ? (i know i could probably flash a kdz but i don't really want to)
i cannot enter into the twrp by pressing the vol down + power, it just ask me whether i want to format, this means i still do not have twrp ?

You already flashed TWRP right? If so then you need to confirm it twice with the power button. It says like format data/factory reset but it will boot into the custom recovery.
please help me...i have a lg g2 d802 32gb model ..its a traded phone...when i got the phone it was running 4.4.2 kitkat the phone was rooted bt there was no suprrueser app i installed the app and then i flashed recovery with autorec now whenever i open my data or wifi and use my phone for some minutes my screen becomes unresponsive is it due to the jellybean bootloader that the autorec installed or something else please help me...
Recovery combo gone
The thread seems like dead now, but maybe I get help .
I flashed 20H and now there is the recovery combo, when I try pwr + volume down it simply reboots . The recovery is instaled, but I only can access it from software (that now is corrupted, so, soft brick).
Wrong combo

You're not soft bricked, it's just that key combo changes in 20H, new combo to enter recovery is vol down + power key, As lg logo appears, release keys and press vol up + vol down and you can easily access twrp
and i ran intro bootloop.. help!
I'll update theard soon to aosp/lollipop support, bootstacks explains etc.

Hey guys,
I've had a total of 4 android smartphones during the last years, and I did root all of them and even install diferent ROM's, but on this phone (Honor 7) was kinda diferent.
The root process is way more complex than all the other androids I did root (simply flash a .zip file...) so I've been post-poning this task over and over..
Finally yesterday I gained courage to try out rooting my phone, and while attempting to root my Honor 7, after flashing SuperSU from TWRP, my phone no longer booted.
Stressed as I was, I just told to myself "f*ck it" and formatted the system and I didn't care much if there was a fix without needing to format the system. (but then I realised that I could not find any .img ROM files to flash from TWRP recovery, so basically I did my actions wrong once again)
I followed the tutorial from guidebeats.com which talks about rooting EMUI 4.0 Android 6.0 (I cant post links)
Basically this is the story:
While unlocking the bootloader, even though, the tutorial said the phone would reboot itself after typing "flashboot oem unlock 1234934829" I did a hard reboot (or reset?) holding (VOL+) + Power button and I have the feeling that the bootloader unlock was not 100% done, even if it said it was unlocked. (Phone was working perfectly fine there)
Then I flashed SuperSU, and I could no longer boot. After powering up my phone, after the first splashscreen, the screen would only turn black.
What (I think) I need to now is remove the TWRP recovery, and use the stock one and attempt to install an "update" using (Vol+) + (Vol-) + Power. (please correct me if I'm wrong)
But now there's some issues I got that I'd like some help with:
1- How can I get back to the stock recovery? (NOTE: I currently got no OS installed on my Honor 7, since I formated it)
2- Will I need to lock and unlock my bootloader again (if I want to 'fix' the bootloader unlock?)
3- Where can I get official Honor 7 stock ROM? (would be awesome if there was already the Android 6 stock rom for a clean install)
4- What are the steps on this tool (Honor 7 Multi-Tool) to root my phone?
I need my Honor 7 asap
Sorry for the long post, It's my first time doing a more advanced root and I have all these questions.
Thank you very much for any kind help!

As you are already familiar with adb and other stuff so will write a short post for you.
To download latest firmware, head to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/hon...tock-firmware-packages-honor-7-t3448747/page1
Google, download and install Huawei update extractor and open UPDATE.APP in it (obtained after extracting firmware).
You can see all the images. Just extract recovery and boot to platform-tools folder.
Meantime, do the unlocking command again, with
Fastboot OEM unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Followed by fastboot reboot
And press and hold the vol down button again until you reboot in bootloader.
Flash the recovery and boot you extracted using
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
(I got a habit of extracting and flashing system and Cust using
Fastboot flash system system.img
Fastboot flash Cust Cust.img
But they are not necessary)
Now you are set to try a 3 button update (sometimes it gets stuck so if it's stuck for 15 minutes, try 3 button again).
Please do report back if it comes to life.
To root, just flash twrp and then use SuperSU 2.62 (no other version) and update it later using play store.

Hey!
Thank you alot for your reply.
From the link you sent about the firmwares, there are alot of Builds for the L01 (EU) model. Can I simply use the latest from the list or I gotta install 1 by 1 (from older to newer)?
Also, the bootloader unlock thing, is it ok if I wait to do it until I install the stock ROM again? Because I think I don't have the code anymore (Also don't know about IMEI)
Other thing, yesterday before bricking my phone, I tried to re-unlock the bootloader as you said above, but it didnt let me because "it was already unlocked".
I really have no idea if it's 100% unlocked or not.
important thing!
With those ROM's, I still have the right to receive official OTA updates from the HiCare app right?
Thank you again

Just use B380 as it's the latest full firmware available there.
Unlocking bootloader again was just a precautionary measure (proceed without it and if it is not 100% unlocked and if something goes wrong, we can troubleshoot later, which imo, won't happen)
And yep, if you keep the firmware as it is, but if you flash twrp and root, you will still see the update available in Hicare but will have to install stock recovery again before upgrading. (Nothing else is needed as SuperSU 2.62 gives a systemless root so you only need to flash back stock recovery for an update)
I am not against honor-tool bit it's best to do things manually as it makes you learn stuff and is easy to troubleshoot if something is amiss.

Alright, btw, about the thing you said
"Now you are set to try a 3 button update (sometimes it gets stuck so if it's stuck for 15 minutes, try 3 button again)."
I gotta do that myself with an "update.app" file or what?
Sorry, I missed that part

You have to make a dload folder in SD card and copy UPDATE.APP to that folder.
Then just turn off the phone, press and hold power + vol up + vol down until phone boots.
Let go of power but keep others two pressed for 5, 6 sec more. Your phone will boot into recovery and start installing UPDATE.APP
It likes to get stuck at 5% (most reports) but sometimes, somewhere else. If its stuck for 15 minutes on a particular percentage, just press and hold the above three buttons again using the same process.
Multiple tries make it work...

That's great... Enjoy your phone and as for coffee, well, let's say, you owe me one and we will leave it at that
Better yet, you can search DigiGoon and pay him for the coffee, he taught me what I told you.
Whichever you like...

Hello
How did you format your phone?
I'm still struggling with going back to Android 5 and EMUI 3.1 since there is no rollback file available. (PLK-AL10, B396) Maybe formatting and installing the old rom could be a solution, like in your case?

Hello.
Do you have unlocked bootloader and TWRP recovery? You can format your phone from TWRP recovery.
I think the only option for you is to get the old ROM img and flash it (starting from 0)
You can dirty-flash (Flash a different ROM with same android version as yours, e.g: flashing custom android 5 ROM over your stock android 5 ROM without factory resetting your phone) but I dont think you can do that from Android 6 to 5.

Yes I have unlocked bootloader and currently not twrp but I can flash it at any time.
The last two paragraphs you wrote are different solutions or the last one is a more detailed explanation of the previous?
I have android 6 so the later method won't work as you said.
But formatting it and flashing a stock android 5 rom - is it that simple? Nobody here suggested this before, however I have been asking for months.
All the phones are empty when they leave the assembly line.
How did you flash the new rom to your formatted phone? Extracted update.app and flashed each file with fastboot? Any issues you faced?

From my last 2 paragraphs, the first was a solution, the second was an impossible alternative that I thought it would work.
My issue was that I had a custom recovery but I had no ROM installed, so I had to install the stock recovery and boot (extracting from update.app) and flashing it via fastboot, to afterwards force the update with 3-button method.

What you'll need to do is:
- Flash TWRP
- Wype system, data, cache.. (so that you completely delete your current ROM)
- Extract recovery.img and boot.img from an update.app of an Android 5 ROM you'd like to have (Official ROM for your device model)
- Flash them via fastboot (You'll go back to stock recovery again)
- Shutdown your device
- Create a folder named "dload" on your sdcard and put UPDATE.APP file in it.
- Reboot
- Do the 3-Button update ([Vol+] + [Vol-] + Power)
- If it works, it will auto install
(- If it gets stuck on 5% for over 5/10min, force reboot pressing [Vol+] + Power) and try again the installation
- After installing it will boot normally (first boot takes a while)
NOTE: I'd recommend creading the dload folder before wiping the ROM, because usb didnt work for me afterwards. (It would still work if I was on recovery tho)
>> Remember to make a full system backup before wiping aswell, dont be stupid like me xD (thats why I had to full wipe my system after soft-brick)
Im answering based on what I did and was explained here to me

I'll try... But seems too simple to be true...

Hi again,
I'm doing this OS installation now. It starts fine but stucks at 90%, (I'm trying to install the latest stock ROM which can be downloaded from Huawei site, B220 or221). Did you have the same issue? I waited more than half an hour at 90% but did not go on.

Maybe formatting, Flash stock Android 5 recovery using Honor multitool , and then Flash a Android 5 firmware
Not sure it Will Work without rollback..
Finally, after 2 months of struggling I managed to get back to Android 5 and EMUI 3.1 without a rollback file.
Here is what I did:
0. Download a full ROM you want to install
1. Backup of the current system with Hisuite (everything. Apps, media, contacts, call log, etc.)
2. Flash TWRP recovery with fastboot (start phone in fastboot mode)
3. Wipe (and format!) everything you can with TWRP
4. Extract boot.img and recovery.img from update.app of the new ROM with Huawei Update Extractor
5. Flash boot.img and recovery.img with fastboot.
6. Copy update app to dload folder on SD card, insert into the phone.
7. Restart phone with [VOL+] + [VOL-] + [Power] buttons to force update.
8. The system will be installed from SD card. I had no issues with the installation. First I did not format the phone (just wiped) and it did not work.
9. Restore data from backup.
The only strange thing is that the native app icons look different than my previous lollipop system. Don't know why. They are less colorful. I installed C00B220 for PLK-AL10.

Yes it does. (It did for me.) Technically this is not a rollback but installing a brand new system on an empty phone. That's why it is important to do a backup upfront.
