I recently changed my framework-res.apk and now I'm stuck at the boot animation. I don't want to completely reset my device with a kdz. I've looked around and haven't found much about recovery. I have the original apk file, but I just need a way to push it. Anyone have a way?

Do you have cwm installed ? If not you can try: phone powered down , hold vol+ home + power, should bring up message saying something about service center..
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw, remount /system
rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk
exit
adb push /path-to/orginal/framework-res.apk /system/framework
adb reboot
Thanks for the reply. I didn't read about CWM before this happened, otherwise this would be easy. I've held down every button combination at boot that I can think of and get nothing like that. When holding vol- + home + power I get an Android and a progress bar that causes the phone to reboot after no more than 10 seconds. Nothing shows up in the device manager during that time either.

Well crap. Well it's still not booting..
I can get into fastboot through omap4boot. If I can get a cwm recovery img for my device I should be able to fix it.

fastboot + cwm recovery only works if you've unlocked bootloader
easiest way to restore your phone now is by s/w mode ,either lg tool or offline method
or "vol+ and home and power" and the rest from 2nd post in this thread

All you have to PRESS is volume down, nothing else.Merely press it because if you hold it down, it won't boot into recovery

I had cwm before i unlocked boot loader...install with 9 installer.apk and choose test version (stable version won't boot)..plus if you have a CWM backup( they r also in the forums as well) adb restore is 50 times faster than using LG Update tool.

there are two types of cwm recovery, one uses 2nd boot and other recovery partition , if bootloader is locked and phone won't boot you can't use neither and cwm backups are useless

As a young developer I HIGHLY recommend becoming very familiar with ADB, it saved a BUNCH of times on my Galaxy S...its great if you can get the hang of it, all commands are the same for all devices, the help section is sort of sketchy, but with a lot of trial and error, I picked it up nicely

The best thing to do (if you haven't done so already) is to flash the kdz (thanks cmahendra and everyone else for y'all hard work) and start from scratch. Second, install artas182x (thanks Artas!) cwm and make a backup. I had to learn the hard way too

To the OP i am currently in the same boat as far as not being able to boot and not being able to access adb. Have you figured anything out or are you still stuck? Before chimes in I do have CWM( the lights flash on reboot) but when i press the -vol button the phone does nothing.
Try connecting in s/w upgrade mode ( holding vol + while inserting usb to phone) it should load some drivers and you should be able to connect in adb. If not connect in every mode possible, to load any drivers(they will still load even though your phone isn't showing any signs of life as long as you have the installed LG drivers previously)

Ok, so I rooted my LGOG E970. I figured I better unlock it as well, so I used FreeGee and unlocked it. I tried to download CWM but it said it couldnt download file. So I thought I would reboot my phone. Now, all I get is the google logo, with the unlocked key underneath, and it then goes to the LG logo and back to Google and shuts off. I tried to hold down power and volume down, nothing, and power volume up nothing.:crying:
any ideas? Thanks in advance! I love this phone!
CJ
You too, huh?
I did this the other night, and when the CWM failed to install I went to download it myself... That's when I saw that CWM for geeb is 6.0.3.8, not 6.0.4.5 like FreeGee shows. (Looks like FreeGee has moved on to targeting G2 or another... Oops.)
I hope you backed up your EFS, because mine was screwed up and I needed to manually restore it from the backup I'd taken. (I've had my phone rooted for 9+ months, finally got fed up with stock and was looking to get onto a 4.4 ROM)
So here's what I did:
Held power button until phone was properly off (failed boot seemed to be a still partially on state)
Held volumn up first, then started holding power.
When phone vibrated slightly, I let go of power and kept holding volume up... You should be in boot loader now.
When your phone is in the bootloader, connect to your PC (Make sure you have the proper drivers if you use Windows; I use Linux which doesn't have the same nonsense setup for drivers like Windows does)
Make sure "fastboot devices" shows your phone and then type: fastboot flash recovery _____recovery file name.img____
Press volume down twice to select "Recovery", and press power once to select it... You should be booted into the recovery that you just installed.
Once you're in a recovery, you can push a ROM zip via ADB, flash, wipe data/dalvik cache and reboot.
thanks, Just a little more help

Yeah, the stock recovery won't boot if you try it either. I forgot to tell you that. If you drop in a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM), it will work fine and you can both create a backup of your data and flash a new ROM...
If you want to try to get back to stock, LGNPST is what you should try. But to be completely honest, I don't know if you can LGNPST from the state that it's in. I haven't tried, and I'm using a custom ROM now (the whole reason I unlocked the bootloader to begin with).
bummer

Yeah, I got that too. I don't know if I got it fixed due to changing ROM, using the suggested recovery from the ROM, or if it was due to me restoring my EFS backup.
I flashed the TeamWin recovery found in the PSX instructions. Then I flashed PSX + Latest kernel + Banks Gapps + Banks Google Camera + AT&T NFC fix + SuperSU. I manually restored EFS from an ADB shell while in recovery.
When I booted I had: LTE works, Wifi works, NFC works, Camera works, ART works... The only things failing for me are the following:
Cell provider shows up as "Maritime" (display bug; as mentioned, LTE works fine and I'm on AT&T)
Settings > Developer Tools > Geeky Process Stats (does nothing)
Settings > Lockscreen > Slider Shortcuts (crashes as soon as I tap the middle ring)
LogCat is spammed with "QCOM PowerLock: Failed to acquire lock" whenever my finger is on the screen.
/system/xbin/mount --bind doesn't work (neither does mount -o bind). It gets sorta half-way-there, because the target directory can't be removed, but isn't bound properly it seems.
Other than that, it's been fast and smooth.
Hello all, I need some help with my new phone
Phone is an AT&T Optimus G E970
Phone was rooted and unlocked by myself... everything was ok!
After testing some roms, i have now lost the ability to enter recovery mode. After I press up + power button it will go into fastboot, but when y press down twice it will show the android logo with the chest open and a red triangle above... the weird thing is that the phone boots up fine with the last rom I flashed (wifi not working though).
Tried root checker and it said i am rooted. try to enter recovery from rom manager and it does nothing... would appreciate any help i can get from you guys
Bump
Sorry, but i am desperate to have this phone working at its full potential...
Try flashing recovery IMG file using flashify.
It sounds like you're using an older bootloader, which does not display the options.
Vol Up + Power enters Bootloader, not recovery. When you get to the screen with the android, press Vol Down Twice and then Power. This should get you in to Recovery.

That is what i tried doing... please look at the pics i attached... I can get to the bootloader at least. I also tried to re-root but i will need to change from "Charge Only" to "MTP" and the rom that's on the phone now ([ROM][KOT49H] AOSP-GEEB 4.4.2_r1 [Dec-13]) does not have that option. What i want to do at this point is flash the recovery by any means possible so that i can install a stock JB at least. OR some other way of rooting which i think will fix the What would you recommend?
I rly appreciate you looking into this for me

2. Please elaborate on step 6, not sure I understand it.
3. Any risk to brick the phone? If so, what's the way to recover?
Cheers,

you say that the phone will restart on recovery mode ¿ will this happens every time I boot the phone or only through this program?
I'm willing to install it on a p712

Only once, after applying these steps.
another doubt:
¿is there anything you can flash on the L7 II, or what's the purpose of using cwm at this point?
has anyone tried backup and restore, wiping battery stats? which other features that can be used at this stage are provided? p715/v10i/india/vroot1.7.6
Also works on P710 (L7 2). Didn't run the script pushed APPSSBL.bin and recovery on sd then put them in dev/block/. Works good i can make backup, restore and flash but there is a problem. If i leave the phone off for some hours when i start it it will go into a bootloop. To stop this I need to take battery out and open the phone using external charger.

To stop this (bootloop) you need to take battery out, and then put battery back, connect external charger, and press power button... Right?

No to stop the bootloop i do this. Plug out battery for 1 minute. Start the phone with charger only. If it doesn't work wait until a yellow triangle and battery comes then push battery in and open phone. But i flashed the appssbl again using adb from that rar and i didn't get bootloop.

And when I restarted the phone this isaue occurred.. Maybe this will help you?!

Sorry man maybe it is different problem because I am running it on a p710 with latest firmware the 10j one. Anyway you can always recover bootlop with Kdz flasher. For those that don't know how. Pull battery out. Wait 1 minute or so then press Volume-Down and hold it while you insert your usb. There will be a yellow screen (Emergency Mode). Be sure to have all drivers download the firmware for your phone, run Kdz Flasher Type: 3GQCT - Phone Mode: Emergency and run start. You will recover the bootloops.
OK, so I tried to see if this fixed the bootloop problem (do I have a death wish or what?). With the previous version of CWM, I booted to recovery mode from power down - got the bootloop (recovered with battery out and charger plugged + home).
Now, flashed the new image. Succesfully got to CWM via reset to recovery from power menu. However, when trying to get to CWM via button combination (power, vol up & down, home), I never get to CWM but only to regular boot sequence. Tried maybe ten times, always the same. Anyone can explain?

Hi ,i have the same model,does this recovery works fine? i mean ,does it have bootloops problems? and to answer your quesrion,try using this combination:
Power button + up volume + button home
after the vivration just release the power button and keep pressing the other 2 until you reach the recovery screen.
Tell me if its works,and also if the recovery is stable for the p714,thanks

Thanks mate. :good: This combination brought me to the recovery menu. Don't know why I didn't think about it - was the same with the Samsung device I previously had.
And I can confirm that this fixes the bootloop issue. We have CWM for this device.
Started out with Z4, updated to Z8. I tried this with TWRP installed after making both EFS backup and regular nandroid backup, installed fine. I made sure to use the recommended partition zips. Here's the ROM I used. However after turning my phone off it will turn on into safe mode (lollipop) in limited, seemingly random instances. I have yet to access recovery. However, the one part I know that I screwed up is I installed xposed (forgot to install the xposed helper), so I receive unlimited errors for that and can't do anything.
I've tried rebooting my phone normally, rebooting into recovery, and cutting all of my losses and flashing back to stock. Any advice? I'm trying to follow the directions here to revert back to stock, but my computer will only recognize an unrecognized device.
Thanks for the help!
Flash the rom labeled "BarePop_TE_V1 " it has the files need to fix your issues (make sure to thank @engine95). Heres the link to the rom it is pretty much a debloated version of that lollipop rom you were running:http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/development/barepop-zv8-t3035551
That reboot problem you are having is because of a bug with the stock rom so just flash that one to fix everything.
I appreciate the help, however my main problem still lies with the fact that I can't access recovery. I've gotten it to where I can reboot normally (albeit I still can't do anything due to the constant errors), but holding pwr+vol down and then letting go and reclicking those once the lg sign comes up won't let me into recovery. Do you have any advice for that? Thanks again for the help!

I've had similar issues in the past trying to boot into recovery and the method you said (vol down+power then let go and press again when LG logo comes up) also wouldn't work for me. Have you tried just holding it down and not letting it go until you see "Recovery Mode"? That actually worked for me.

With all of these issues you may want to flashtool back to ZV4 and reroot or ZV8 your call.

I've had similar issues in the past trying to boot into recovery and the method you said (vol down+power then let go and press again when LG logo comes up) also wouldn't work for me. Have you tried just holding it down and not letting it go until you see "Recovery Mode"? That actually worked for me.

Not to be redundant, but my understanding is the only way it will go into recovery from full off is to keep holding power+vol down until you see "recovery mode", if you let up on the buttons before you see recovery mode it will simply reboot.
When rooting an ATT G3 I could not for the life of me get it to boot into recovery using the button combo, instead I just used adb reboot recovery instead, worked every time, to this day the guy can only reboot to recovery from within rom, gonna suck if he gets soft bricked.. My Sprint G# holding the buttons works like a charm
When I want to boot into recpvery I always have to do volume + power up until the lg logo comes up then let go and press them again. Then I have to press the factory reset button and click yes. For me and I guess others when you hold volume + powerdown you just end up going into safe mode. If you end up always having problem just download a app that can make your phone reboot itself or download terminal and run:
su
reboot recovery
That always works because it is built into the phone.

For me if I go into recovery by volume down + power. It just goes into recovery.
If I'm using phone, i use terminal command. su -c reboot revovery
I'm using ls990 gold edition.
I installed no name rom and im getting a system UI has stopped working and i could never manually enter twrp I had to use an app to boot into recovery every time. Any advice on what to do
Manually
Power Off
Hold Volume Down
Hold Power
When at the LG Screen Let Go of Power for 1 second and then repress power

just to be clear, i never let go of the volume down button correct? Ive been holding the Vol down and power button non stop and ive tried releasing both of them and repressing them and i still got nothing, but i havent tried releasing just the power button and repressing it

Correct. Do not let go of the Vol Down Button until the white screen ask you if you want to reset. And answer YES to both questions.

IF you do have TWRP installed it will take you to it. If you dont then ... Good luck.
You can always download Terminal Emulator
Type in
Code:
su
Press Enter
Code:
reboot recovery
Press Enter
Instead of Terminal Emulator, You can download G-Script Lite.
Its basically just like Terminal Emulator but you can save commands like reboot recovery.
Its the only thing I really use it for since my Power Menu doesnt have the option yet.

I cant use my device at all. When it boots up i get system UI stopped working repetitively. I can boot into download mode and fastboot mode. i had TWRP installed and had no name rom running and booted into TWRP then did a data, dalvik and cache wipe and started getting this issue so i believe TWRP is still installed. Im running windows 10 and the LG Flashtool stops working while trying to read the phone information
