Hello
Today I've tried to unlock my bootloader of LG Optimus L9 (P760) and install a custom ROM. I managed to unlock the bootloader after a few hours (Windows 8.1 sucks in this and do it on Windows 7 netbook is even more harder) and install the CWM. Then I wanted to install CM11, but the installation failed. I didn't realize that I need special version of CWM for this.
Well, I wanted to enter fastboot again a flash CWM again, but I couldn't boot, because the system was now erased. I couldn't install stock ROM, because phone wouldn't connect, so I grabbed older CM9 and succesfully installed it through CWM.
Problem is, that even from there, I can't flash CWM (flash_image recovery recovery.img in terminal doesn't work - shows error "error scanning partitions failed with error -1" - yet another problem no one can solve). And also, phone won't connect to my PC properly, because there is no LG Software mode in CM. Because of that, I don't see the device in adb and can't reboot it into fastboot. I tried to do it via wi-fi adb, which however only reboots phone and doesn't put it into fastboot mode.
What should I do? I can't install stock ROM, which would help (LG update tool doesn't recognize phone now and any driver I tried for "LGE U2 Device" didn't work... If it was available as a rar installer for CWM, everything would be OK again), I can't reboot it into fastmode, I can't flash CWM in any other way and I'm stuck with CM9, which I hate.
I don't understand why there is no other way, how to get to fastboot. Every other LG Optimus has a key shortcut (vol -, power), except L models and that sucks... I'm completly desperate.

Fastboot on these devices is a pain... Make sure you have installed the fastboot drivers twice.
Try flashing the recovery.img with Flashify (root) app from the play store.

Thank you for your answer I got into fastboot afterall by using app named "Rebooter (fast reboot)". It allows to reboot phone and make it go immidiately to fastboot. So great, now I could rewrite the CWM and install ROM.
Unfortunately other problems appeared. I'm using the right version of CWM for installing KitKat Android ROMs (and I've tried others), but I'm still unsuccesful in booting them. Instalation goes OK (ROM + gapps), but booting then is pain in the ***. I can wipe dalvik, cache, system... and return the phone to factory settings through CWM as I want, but every ROM gets stuck everytime on the boot.
At first, it takes at least 15 minutes, until LG logo disappears and the animation of booting starts. I left all ROMs to boot for an hour. But it seems I'm without a chance. Did anybode have the same problem as me?
BTW: This is my 6th smartphone into which I installed alternative ROM. I swear, that this is the hardest piece of crap for installing those, I have ever seen
Edit: I tried other kernels, also without success. It's strange, that I can install only CM9 and PACman ROMs. CM11, Miui, Mokee - no chance

Hmm... That is strange. Are you getting any errors like "status 7 error" when you try to install any of the ROMs?

Nope. That was back when I had bad CWM installed. This one is however OK and install goes absolutely right. Right now I'm pretty sure, that problem isn't in kernel, cause I tried every I could find...

If I remember correctly I think the cwm for cm11 has a bug that doesn't wipe dalviks. So flash ROM with the cwm for cm11 then restore the other recovery to wipe data. Or use something like rm -rf /data/* through terminal adb and reboot.
Make sure you mount the data partition first if you use adb and terminal.

Don't let it auto reboot after the recovery flashes. Either uncheck auto reboot or just hit the combo for recovery when the phone reboots. Many newer Samsung phones have a script that reinstalls the original recovery if it realizes that you have changed it. You have to install another rom or root it and remove the script and reflash the recovery and it'll stick if you just want stock rooted.

didn't worked...... after i flash the recovery (i'm in download mode) i boot directly into recovery.... the same problem
try to instal the recovery via rom manager.....seems to work.....but when i want to boot from rom manager into recovery it show me an error ("an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands !" )
what should i do now ?
http://galaxyyoungs6312.blogspot.com/2014/01/clockworkmod-recovery-for-galaxy-young.html
6310 + 6312 use the same recovery.
yeah....but i tried that rooting method and it didn't work....
maybe i can flash a new rom from ADB but i can't pass the signature verification
any ideas ?
Well I can tell from your pictures that you didn't follow the suggestion of trying SuperSU, but that might not help anyway. That Framaroot version is an older one. Get the updated version from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/framaroot/root-framaroot-one-click-apk-to-root-t2130276 and use SuperSU instead of Superuser. Sometimes you have to run it a couple times before it'll go through. Reboot in between tries. Here are better instructions for the rest of the process:

man ...didn;t work... ... tried at least 5 times .....
or....i can flash a rom from ADB but i can't pass the signature verification....
a have an ideea ....maybe i can flash via odin a rom whit a custom recovery ...from there i can flash an old backup of mine .....it's good to proceed right that ?
hey guys, i have a galaxy s2 here (gt-i9100) with non working volume keys and stuck in bootloop. i need to do the wipes but i cannot access recovery. HOWEVER, i made a really poor version of the jig (which totally works, btw) and i can access download mode. i have some questions
1) is there a way to reboot into recovery (i'm planning to flash twrp as it is touch based) from download mode? it doesn't matter if i have to flash things with odin
2) if i can't, is there a way to wipe data / factory reset from odin?
3) if i use a custom PIT and repartition won't it be the same as if i was wiping?
4) where's waldo
5) if i remember correctly i saw a custom kernel which enabled adb usage while the phone was still off but charging through a usb port in a computer. am i high?
thanks in advance
If I am correct you can use adb commands from Download Mode... Try flashing with odin TWRP or CWM with touch input and type on the Command Prompt "adb reboot recovery".. If you need anything else I am here..
well i got it working somehow, after installing stock rom i installed kernel dorimanx v8.43 it still got booloop but the adb commands were reaching the phone so i restarted to recovery and restored a paranoid android backup i had and it's working perfectly
Hi yeasterday i did a full wipe on my sgs 2 i9100 and installed newest omnirom version, today i tried to install supersu and i wasn't able to, so remembered that i have somehow managed to install supersu few months ago when i had installed omnirom, i wasn't sure how i have did that so i tried to install Siyah-s2-v6.0b4 with odin, and my phone was only showing sgs2 logo with yellow triangle, so then tried jeboo_kernel_i9100_v1-2a, and i got the same logo, so please can someone help me ?
@Walkman23 so far as I hear you are flashing the wrong kernel for omni. Just reboot into recovery and reflash omnirom if you still want to keep it.
Yellow triangle is a marker that you had flashed with odin(flashcounter) nothing to worry about, you can remove it but I suggest to only do that when you sell your phone. The triangle is nice to me .
Also the kernels you were trying to flash are for stock only I believe. Find an kernel for omnirom.

how do i put omnirom into my phone ? cause i have deleted them
@Walkman23 sorry for late response I was away but you can adb push the rom to your phone. But you need to be in recovery mode and have the drivers for your phone installed and you need adb.
So install drivers and adb.
Adb push romname.zip /sdcard/
Or you need to have an micro sd card an put the rom on the sd and insert it in your phone and flash the rom.
I also saw your PM.
For an simple adb utility without the need to download the whole sdk install this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
@wulsic i tried pushing it yesterday it worked cause i had twrp now its cwm 6.0.2.7 and when i push it to sdcard i cant find it
@Walkman23 I think that the /storage/ location is different on the galaxy s2. Thats why you couldnt find it.
Can you check the path in the recovery where your virtual internal sdcard is?
@wulsic thank u fixed it
@Walkman23 Nice that you fixed it so remember now also flash a kernel specific for which rom you are using, so for cyanogenmod/stock/aosp based roms. Also that kernel and recovery are combined on the s2. And also that you now know the storage path where to adb push when you can still acces recovery
Hello everyone! With some struggle I've managed to port CWM to an old tablet ONDA V703. Everything seems to be working, but CWM auto-terminates the session (interactive or adb) every time after 3-4 minutes. I have googled extensively but couldn't find anyone having the same problem.
Here are some details:
Android is version 4.1.1. CWM is v6.0.2.8. Built on Ubuntu using boot.img from the original firmware, and hand-editing a few files. Installed using flash_image over adb as root (this tablet doesn't support fastboot). After the first boot into CWM I cleared the cache.
I would be thankful for any hint; I'm a software developer, just need a little push (or pull) in the right direction.
amanda
Sorry... by "terminate" I mean the tablet is rebooted.
Update:
I've reflashed the original stock recovery - I wanted to see if it does auto-reboot the same way as CWM. It does! So, the issue is not with the CWM, but most likely with the kernel. Maybe some boot parameters influence the kernel when booting into recovery... This is driving me cuckoo.
amanda
Update:
OK, resolved. I had to add "write /sys/class/boot_monitor/boot_timer 0" to bootable/recovery/etc/init.rc file, and rebuild CWM.
