Q. Why won't my phone start? why is it saying unauthorized software?
A. You unlocked, flashed something, then relocked. You need to flash back to stock VRALJB then repeat the unlock procedure. Use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2040264

Good news! Thanks for the update.
I hope you don't give up on CWM. I'm a big fan of it myself and was able to flash it from ROM Manager with no problems. Give it another shot now that you have the restore process down!
All good and I have cwm

Hello everybody and welcome to my second guide for how to get root, unlocked bootloader, CWM, and finally installing the roms for our precious LG optimus L5! (e610,12 and 17)
Let's start!
If you are still on android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich, follow my other guide: ICS GUIDE
ALL in one!
So for rooting Jellybean i haven't found a proper root method yet, so that means we are going to flash a pre-rooted kdz file!
In this case this pre-rooted kdz file also contains unlocked bootloader and CWM so this is much easier.
1. Download kdz updater (attatched below)
2. Be sure to first install msxml.msi or else you will get crash during the update process.
3. Download the all in one kdz file, this contains firware version 20D Baltic with root, unlocked boot and CWM recovery. (comes in all languages)
4. Make a backup of your phone, contacts etc. (optional)
5. Once you downloaded everything, take your phone out of your pocket and turn it off.
6. Hold the "-" volume button and connect your phone with your pc (make sure you have all the drivers installed)
7. Now your phone should be in emergency/download mode
8. Now we are going to install the new firmware, open up KDZ_updater.exe and set the type to: 3GQCT and phone mode to DIAG
select the kdz file you just downloaded (20d+root + cwm.kdz) and click "launch software update".
9. KDZ updater will probably crash, this is normal, that means that it is finished the last code you will see is something like "wparam: 100"
10.If everything went well your phone should reboot and launch in the new firmware. Download "superuser" from Playstore.
When your phone is bricked you can just follow these steps again to unbrick your device.
Installing custom roms
1. Download the custom rom you want and place it on you phone. (Preferred on external SD card)
2. To install custom roms you have to go into CWM (clock work mod). you can enter CWM by going into terminal and type "su" and then "reboot recovery" OR turn your device off, then press volume"-" + home button + power button until it vibrates and shows LG logo then release only power button and keep pressing both of the others for about 8 seconds then release.
3. While you are in CWM you can navigate with the + and - volume buttons and the power button is enter.
4. Before you install any new rom, wipe everything from your phone by going to "mounts and storage menu" --> format /cache, /data and /media, /system, /sdcard, then wipe the dalvik cache under the advanced tab. If you don't do this you can get problems!
So now you can select your customrom.zip and press the power button, your rom will now install. after it is installed you can reboot your phone and if you did everything right your phone should boot into your new rom, the first boot can take a long time sometimes.
Some custom roms for jellybean:
CM10.1
CM10.2
JellyBeer
If you want a ICS based rom like cm10 or MIUI you first have to flash v10 baseband attatched below.
Happy Flashing!
oh thank god. there is still development for our little l5. thanks you very much. gonna test asap

You're right. The E617G does not have 4.1.2 with stock anyways, only 4.0.3. Please disregard my post.
I meant to post this in in the ICS thread, where it states that there is no unlocked bootloader support for the E617, which is false.
Key combination for recovery is (if I'm not wrong cause it sometimes fails just keep trying) volume"-" + home button + power button until it vibrates and show LG logo then release only power button and keep pressing both of the others for about 8 seconds then release.

KDZ update over V10 failed
Hello,
I tried to isntall this V20 KDZ on top of a V10E image on a E612F.
After flashing and booting,"Home" and "Lg Setup" and "Laucher" and all other apps start crashing.
If I try to flash a V10 KDZ back on, it fails with error "Wparam 100 LParam 1002" after the phone reboots to download mode.
I am only able to flash V20 KDZ files and I can`t get the phone to a point where adb works in order to replace bootloader or whatever.
Any idea to solve this?
Thanks

- maybe a factory reset helps, on this site they explain how: http://www.hard-reset.com/lg-optimus-l5-hard-reset.html
If that didn't worked, can you go into recovery? If so, wipe /system,/data,
/cache and flash over a custom rom like cm10.1 or Flatzki's cleanrom --> not too heavy modified and good performance

Thanks, I tried resetting with the Vol - + PWR + HOME, but the phone behavior was not what I expected. In the end, I managed to install The modded V20 from xoxodemo's thread and mixing and matching with bootloaders for E610 and latest CWM. This allowed me to install CM10.1 on the E612f
Thanks, anyway =)
Hi , just bought a new LG L5II E455 with JB 4.1.2. yay!
so before messing things up just wanted to know if this guide also
covers this model?
had some MTK 65xx phones before and using MtkDroidTools for backup and root
but seems it can't do squat about this phone. so as a seasoned droid user I know
my first step before anythings else should be making a full backup so which tool/flasher
would you suggest?
tnx.

Hey all i accidentally hit the OTA update "OK" button when it popped up on my screen. I've been deferring it for the past few months but my finger slipped and hit the "OK" instead of the "defer" and choosing a date to ask again.
I have a looping "Teamwin" logo and it keeps looping.. Cant seem to do anything. I've taken out the battery and then start it up but it still does the same thing.
Any advice, step by step to get out of this loop?
Thanks!

you can not OTA update with a custom recovery...time for a date with Odin.

Would you care to give me a link to do this with a note 2, droidstyle?
yep click the link in my sig...refer to section 1b. you can probably get away with using root66 so you do not have to reroot and unlock BL.
Also when you get back up and running I would recommend freezing SDM1.0 apk with a App such as Titanium back up pro and you will no longer get prompted for OTA updates.

hold on a sec, can you boot into recovery? If so you can probably wipe data and re flash the rom you were on.

if you had an updated firmware then that file wouldnt work for you. i also noticed though you put that file in the bootloader field instead of the pda field when you tried flashing it one of those times. that may have been a bad thing. you could try to flash the other file marked vramc from that thread.

root66 works on all devices with the current firmware since it does not contain a bootloader, recovery, or wipe data. Sometimes it will cause a bootloop which all that is needed is to wipe data in recovery.

you need to boot into recovery and wipe data...if you can get into recovery the a full odin package will need to be flashed such as stock VRAMC3. However it looks like you figured it out.
ok i have litterly tried everything to get my phone back up. what i did was i tried to unlock the bootloader and that didn't work so then i flashed the stock kdz so i could just root and get my touch screen back to normal. i have done this before and it worked fine. idk what i did this time but i'm getting the ecrypting error. i have looked on here for fixes but none are working. i tried the hard reset but it doesn't work it just goes to the android screen and then reboots back to this screen. i tried fastboot and i can't get it to work. please help!!!!!!!!!! i'm have the p769.

I think the easiest way is to use LG mobile support tool. refer to this member post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2456558&highlight=encrypt
- Boot you phone to S/W update mode
- Run LG mobile support tool (B2CAppSetup.exe)
- Select recover you phone from menu and wait for about an hour
- *Dont forget to comment lg server that you add in host file for offline flash
There're also other way to fix it, if you can boot into Stock recovery by Holding vol- + ... (I can't remember ), but this combo may hard reset your phone if you don't have stock recovery. In stock recovery mode you can use adb to push and replace busybox. I don't try this myself but some member unbrick their phone by this method.

ok how can I flash back to stock if I cant enter downloadd mode?
I have found that I need to press the volume down button first, and continue holding it down, before tapping and releasing the power button. Pressing both power and volume down simultaneously, rather than volume down first, produces a normal boot.

You get into download mode by pulling battery put battery back in and by holding the volume up button then you plug in USB cable.
