I have been looking EVERYWHERE for a solution to this. I followed the {Unlock Bootloader for Noobs} to the letter http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277639
I get to where in the video guide the screen become's inverted and the touchscreen is all over the place. But I can't get my phone to boot into recovery. I have tried every single guide to no avail. I have the LG L9 P769 with Tmobile.
And right now my phone is useless.
Just a tid bit, when it first boot's up both the logo and everything is backwards, but if I suspend it and bring it back up, its all back to normal but the touch pad is still goofed up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You need Roberts busybox installed, artas182x cwm install, and flash the fix with cwm.
You need the v6 bin the directions are with it.

I rerooted the phone, installed SU, gave root access to the recovery when it asked, installed and clicked "Boot into Safemode" and it did the exact same thing it always does.... nothing, it simply rebooted the phone to main screen, Even tried holding down the vol- button during a boot.. nothing. it only goes into safemode.

Do you know how to use ADB with your computer? Do you have android debugging enabled? Do it the old way
First extract the v6.bin to you SD card (external_SD). Open adb and enter the following
Code:
adb shell
su (give it root access on your phone, good luck)
cat /storage/external_SD/v6.bin > /sys/devices/virtual/input/lge_touch/firmware
once you do that the shell will freeze (can't use it anymore) So open a new cmd and enter this
adb reboot
This will fix the problem. Now go thank Lelus :thumbup:

I did just as you told me to, I copied the v6.bin to my external sd card, started up ADB, put in the commands but once I entered SU and gave it root on the phone the terminal stopped and would not allow any more commands, I rebooted and tried again as well as rebooting the phone. I am unable to enter the command to transfer the file.

You might have thought you gave it access, but actually denied access. Try to open supersu, and check if adb was given su access.

I checked supersu and it show's as given root access. And when I put in the SU command into adb it show's on the phone as giving root permission's via popup. And that's where it freezes.

Thanks! This fixed the touch screen on P769 Tmobile. This is after using the LG support tool to update back to V20f from a failed attempt using carloswii5's noob guide. Could not get past "adb reboot oem-unlock."
If anyone can point me in the right direction to get the LG boot screen back to normal (not inverted/mirrored) i would appreciate it. -----Update:found u-boot.zip fix for boot screen.
Thank You!
Thank You!
I had given up on this a year ago, I tried it again on my phone and it worked!
Thanks Again

Help! I was using Carlos' unlocking the bootloader guide against my will, because I love stock. And turns out karma has gotten me. For some reason my recovery wasn't installing on V20B, so I flashed back to V20F, factory reset, re-rooted, installed busybox, flashed the artas recovery... And yet my recovery STILL isn't showing up. The boot animation is inverted and the touch screen is still "messed up." I have a backup on my external SD card that I can use if I somehow get recovery functional. It's just the stupid recovery won't work and I need it to work lol. Any help? Please?! By the way, I've done an emergency flash using LG Mobile Support Tool and that didn't work, so I'm still open to suggestions.
I've been very helpful to everyone who's asked me for help, I'd like for others to be the same to me. Thanks to whoever tries
go back into recovery then make a backup in tar format then reboot into recovery and check for your files.

I don't have recovery. It won't flash. I have stock V20F without anything but a messed up screen.
Have you tried installing recovery using the L9 recovery installer app?
Also, for the wonky touch screen, it would help a lot if you enabled "Show touches" in the developers options tab~

That's what I'm using. Full busybox install and it still isn't installing.
You needed to be rooted to get recovery.

Can you upload the apk for that? I can't type due to my phone's screen. And how do I do it through ADB? I don't even know how to use ADB, as embarrassing as it sounds. I could never get it to work. But I'm willing to do anything now.

First fix the touch screen, hold up I'll send you all the info,
Another thing, I hope you already have adb debugging enabled
Wait a min, you have everything you need if you tried to unlock your device
Inside the root lelus folder is the adb
You know, if you go to link for robert busybox on your pc (and sign in) it will send it to your phone, to download
1. Go to the root lelus folder (should be on your c: drive) and open the "stuff" folder
now, hold down the shift key and right click with your mouse, you should see an option, to "open command window here"
This should open a cmd up where the adb is at.
2. Open the cwm_ts_fix_p769.zip and go into the system folder and copy the v6.bin to your external sd
3.now type
adb devices (in the command window)
you should get a number with online status. If you don't it's because adb debugging is not enabled
4. next type
adb shell
su
your phone will ask to enable it, good luck on enabling on the wonky touch screen
okay, type
cat /storage/external_SD/v6.bin > /sys/devices/virtual/input/lge_touch/firmware
note if you put it on the internal storage, type
cat /sdcard/external_SD/v6.bin > /sys/devices/virtual/input/lge_touch/firmware
this will cause the shell to freeze.
so open up a new cmd (hold shift key & and right click inside the stuff folder) and type
adb reboot
hope this helps, if you need a better guide, lol just ask, it will take me awhile though

So I have to flash again?
Hi,
I'm not a newbie to Android by any measure, but this is my wife's phone, not mine (I have a Nexus 4) so I'm not familiar with a lot of the LG stuff.
Anyways, I rooted her phone to get rid of some of the bloatware and the stupid Qslide thing, and also to edit the build.prop so Netflix will have the Chromecast button. I had deleted quite a few bloatware system apps, and rebooted, everything was fine. I deleted a few more, then edited the build.prop. Rebooted.
Now it shows the LG logo, but then the screen goes blank, but is still on (you can see the backlight) and never boots. I only removed a few more of the LG and Tmobile apps and edited the model and manufacturer in the build.prop
Do I have any easy options to fix this? Or do I need to flash the KDZ?
Flash kdz then install cwm then backup the stock ROM THEN do your mods. Every time every phone. Good luck

Yes, offline flash the kdz. Always backup your rom whenever you so something like that.

If it's just the build.prop causing it not to boot, you can flash (with fastboot) the boot.img for the kdz you are on. Look at my signature on how to extract it.
If that doesn't work, flash the ice cream x & u partitions for p769 in fastboot, and then run offline flash

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I've tried the offline KDZ flashing it, but I can't get my computer (tried two actually, mine and my wife's laptop) to do anything once its in the S/W Upgrade mode. I used the method previously to update her phone the JB when Tmobile pulled the update. Since then it downloaded the most recent OTA. But anyways, I don't know why it wont work. It just continally tells me that my phone isn't connected, even though I'm using the latest drivers and the phone shows up correctly in the device manager. It's driving me nuts since it worked previously!
Any ideas?

Sorry I didn't break it down enough for you. You have to get fastboot up and running. Jellybean does not operate when starting in S/W mode, that's why you get the connection problem. Now ice cream, does operate when starting in the S/W upgrade mode. With fastboot you can flash everything you need to get the offline flash working. These three links are all the info you need.

Factory LG mobile support tool has an option to "update recovery" in top right menu. This will download latest factory rom via internet and reflash phone in software update mode to reset everything.

Works well.
might have to set phone into software update mode by pressing vol up and then inserting usb cable..

Ok, I got the timing down and fastboot seems to come up, but after I can see the logo on my phone with the v 0.5, the script just says < waiting for device >. Thats where it should flash the ICS xloader? Or am I missing something and I should flash the JB images with fastboot? Where can I get the images?

Did you install TWRP and then take the OTA, now you can't get your phone to boot normally, but you do see TWRP?
Here's the easy fix:
If you have ADB access, plug in your phone and run this:
Code:
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota of=/sdcard/fota-backup.img
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
Then you should be able to successfully reboot your phone via the TWRP menu option, or via a simple reboot command in adb.
If you DONT have ADB access (because of an early build of TWRP), you can simply use TWRP's awesome "terminal command" option to run the following:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
You'll have to type that whole thing out, and be VERY careful with spaces and punctuation. One wrong letter and you could nuke your phone.
After that finishes, you can reboot and continue on your happy way!
Let me know if this helps anyone!
As usual, I'm on #lg-g2 in Freenode as IOMonster, if I'm around I'll be happy to help wherever I can.

Then you should be able to successfully reboot your phone via the TWRP menu option, or via a simple reboot command in adb.
If you DONT have ADB access (because of an early build of TWRP), you can simply use TWRP's awesome "terminal command" option to run the following:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
You'll have to type that whole thing out, and be VERY careful with spaces and punctuation. One wrong letter and you could nuke your phone.
After that finishes, you can reboot and continue on your happy way!
Let me know if this helps anyone!
As usual, I'm on #lg-g2 in Freenode as IOMonster, if I'm around I'll be happy to help wherever I can.

I was upset yesterday worrying about you guys. I am happy to see you happy. Thanks much OP for the fix.
I am rooted and installed TWRP recovery but reverted back to the stock recovery before accepting the VZW OTA update. I'm now stuck in a boot loop and I can't get ADB to recognize my device when plugged in via USB. When I plug in my phone it shows the following:
Fastboot mode started
udc_start()
-reset-
-portcharge-
-reset-
-portcharge-
fastboot: processing comands
Any idea why this is happening and how I can get my phone to boot normally?

When you see the file folder just ignore that and hit "select "on the bottom right and that will bring it up. Just type the command from there
Thanks it worked!:laugh: Should I flash stock now update via OTA then reroot and reflash TWRP??

I didn't. From what I've read its just best to flash the new TWRP and not worry about the new OTA. Besides there is nothing relevant about the OTA enough to worry about going through all the trouble of installing the OTA. Also the devs have pulled all the new update files and they will use those in their Roms

Yea, let's just wait for a ROM worth flashing and "F OTA"
How can we get the OTA if we have TWRP installed?
Can we falsh stock recovery and then accept the Update?
If so can someone please post the Stock Recovery IMG?
My phone is at the LG screen and the notification light is blinking but thats it. How can I adb anything or get into twrp?
Hello everyone,
I have been searching in vain for a while now to find a solution to my problem and I fear that I may have done something daft to my phone.
I am using a HTC One X+ that was unlocked, s-off and rooted for about a year, i had TWRP and stock android 4.1.1. For ages I have been getting an update alert saying a software update is ready and i think it was some Vodafone update (1.17.161.7). Whenever i accepted and tried to install this it would obviously reboot into TWRP and then the update would fail. This was fine until last night when I decided to install it through TWRP, it said it failed again and i rebooted to find that WiFi wouldnt turn on, my phone was no longer rooted or s-off and that I get no signal. I tried to re-root it but command prompt on the computer or HTC Sync wouldnt recognise my device however it was appearing as HTC One X+ in My Computer and i could access the internal storage.
I restarted into recovery and managed to flash a new root using twrp and the root file using the unlockr.com - how to root the htc one x
Then thinking it was a ROM issue i downloaded and installed InsertCoin Evolution ONE X+ 5.0-6 Sense 5 Android 4.2.2.
This all went through ok however when i reboot from this install it just sticks at the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen. I wiped everything using twrp beforehand.
When i restart into bootloader, it says unlocked, S-On and HBOOT -1.30.0000
Not sure what else to do as now i have no ROM, i read that you have to partition the SD card for InsertCoin to work but the option to partition SD card isnt there in my TWRP (ver. 2.3.3.0)
Any help to even reset my phone back to basic stock everything would be amazing, i have a Titanium Backup of most of my stuff saved btw.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

No I just copied the whole zip file to the SD card section and installed it from there - ive encountered a new problem now in the fact that my computer no longer can recognise the phone via USB - it still appears in device manager but cant access the sd card and the sd card got wiped by twrp so now i dont have any way of getting things onto the phone that i know of. It just says - failed to open usb master mode in the bootloader. How could i get the computer to recognise the phone again so i can transfer it back onto it and try installing insertcoin again? Really hoping i havent managed to make my phone useless as ive had to dig out the old Nokia 6230 from the drawer haha!
Thanks.
EDIT - Now seen the instruction to flash the boot.img - what a fool i am. Now i need to get it recognised by USB again so i can transfer the zip file to it and go again.

Without a rom installed you're not able to acces the internal memory of your phone directly. You have to use "adb sideload" command to transfer a rom onto your phone. Look in the General and/or Q&A forum of this device, there are enough guides or topics on how to solve this "problem".

Hi use this link..may be useful (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066390) by the way reaper90 is right you need to sideload the rom..
In TWRP:
1-wipe everything
2-goto advance in twrp
3-select sideload
4-navigate to the folder where you have adb.exe, adbwinapi.dll, adbwinusbapi.dll and fastboot.exe. and make sure to keep the rom and its image; bootimg there.
5-then in command prompt write (adb sideload *name of the rom*.zip) make sure the name is a letter.
6- also make sure to keep the screen alive and not let it goto sleep while adb sideload is working.
7- rom will start setup once sideload is 100%.
Hope this helps. Goodluck.

Hi, thanks very much for the responses - its much appreciated.
Nothing happens when i type that command, a load of text appears in cmd prompt showing all the adb commands and thats it, i have searched for this problem and found this on twrp website as a possible solution "You will need version 1.0.29 or higher. You can find your current version by typing "adb version" at the command line" My version says 1.0.26 I have tried to update this but cant seem to find a way to do it, would that be an issue?
I think once ive managed to sideload the zip i should be good to go its just getting to that point that seems to be stumping me at the moment.

Dont sweat it. They understood you wrong.
Guys what he wants to do is copy the file FROM the SDCARD TO the PC.
First you will need to know where the location of your rom then type in the following commands:
Code:
adb devices
If you device is not detected then try to run the CMD as an administrator and try again
then:
Code:
adb pull {location without the curly brackets}
For example if its on the SDCard then:
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/rom.zip
It will paste the file to the folder where the adb is found
Then just open the zip file and get out the boot.img and flash it using fastboot
Hope this helps you out.

Hey, thanks.
No they got me correctly, there is absolutely nothing on my phone at all and I need to get my new ROM zip file from the PC to the phone so that I can install it. I am currently downloading SDK manager to try and update my adb to 1.0.29 or higher and will see if that works.

I have an LG Optimus Fuel (LG L34C) from Straightalk running Android 4.4. This phone is (as far as I know) the same as the LG Optimus Zone 2 from Verizon Prepaid.
I couldn't find a halfway decent manual for the LG L34C so I followed the LG Optimus Zone 2 Manual to enter Recovery mode. When I held the buttons on the L34C, it would boot, show the LG logo, then shut off, show the LG logo, and do it again. As long as the buttons were held in would loop.
So I downloaded the ADB and tried to do it from there.
"adb reboot recovery" brings up the classic "No Command".
"adb reboot bootloader" just reboots it.
"adb reboot download" just reboots it.
"adb reboot fastboot" just reboots it.
What the heck is going on! I'm going crazy trying to figure this out. Why can't I access any of the special menus?
Oh, and TowelRoot didn't work to root the phone either.
I tried to enter Recovery Mode on my Nexus 7 (2012) and noticed that I also get the "No Command" prompt. I was then able to hold 'Power' and press 'Volume Up' to enter Recovery mode.
I tried this, and every other imaginable button combination, on the LG Optimus Fuel and had no luck whatsoever.
Is it possible that this stuff has been disabled by LG?

Is your device activated. Straight Talk said that reset via recovery (it's in the phones manual...) would work after activated, but that seems like BS.
full user guide from LG
Okay I got the full user guide that was NOT included this is the LG Full guide. Just Click it, had to put it on 4shared as it is too large to upload as .pdf on here.
Root worked for me after I followed this guide. http://www.androidarea51.com/all-things-root/working-root-for-lg-optimus-fuel-woot/ Make sure you change the values in post #1, and remounting /system as explained in reply #1.

now that i think about it my device was bricked.... maybe this is a special recovery designed to act only when problems are detected in the boot sequence?
Well, looks like I'm in the same boat now, lol. Going against everything I've learned in the 5 years messing with Android, I had a non-thinking DOH! moment and changed the screen density. After reboot, I just have a bootlooping cheap paperweight for the time being. I can get into recovery, but there's no menu options. I am going to try to push the backed-up build.prop.
They really have this one locked down. I haven't found an OTA zip in my searches yackaro, but I'll keep an eye out for you.

It is possible that TracFone (StraightTalk is a subsidiary of TracFone) is using special bootloader code to lock users out of recovery mode. I know that T-Mobile did something like that with some lower-to-mid-range LG phones.

I can't (well, couldn't - I'm soft bricked right now) even boot into bootloader. To get full root, I think we need an unlocked boot loader. However, "ADB reboot bootloader" doesn't work, right now, as well as most of all the other commands.
I was able to reboot into recovery, but there wasn't any text. I'm working on getting the fuel booting again, but I haven't found anything that works yet. The hard key combo that LG describes to hard reset doesn't work. And I've tried many other hard key combinations, but nothing works so far. [emoji20]

True. They probably are. I don't know why they would block at least hard factory reset, though. But then again, since we paid for our device (albeit only $30) seems like we could have more freedom with it. Oh well.
LG has fastboot locked out. I was browsing the LG G2 forums when I found that people are able to get to fastboot by zeroing out their 'laf' partition and forcing the phone into fastboot (because aboot can't find it) where we can then flash a custom recovery.img hopefully. I have the recovery partition extracted and replaced /sbin/recovery with CWM and repacked. I just need to get into fastboot to test it. I will get a second phone from walmart to dev with, they're only $30. if anyone has a dev phone to test it on, read on...
This is theory and hasen't been tested. We may not even be able to run custom recovery or fastboot.
If anyone wants to pick up here be sure you have fastboot and adb installed and have some dev knowledge, not for noobs like me.
backup your laf partition to an external SD card (insert a micro SD)
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf of=/storage/external_SD/laf.img
pull laf.img to your computer as a backup and to use later in fastboot
wipe your laf partition [I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU KILL YOUR PHONE]
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf
reboot your phone and connect it to your computer.
your phone SHOULD (I have not tested this) boot into fastboot as a failsafe.
on your computer
Code:
fastboot flash laf laf.img
Code:
fastboot reboot
phone should reboot back to normal.
This will test that we can in fact get to fastboot.
STOCK laf, boot & recovery files to look at. The included repacker does not repack the images properly. I use linux tools for repacking.

Sounds like we are a little closer, however you can push a .img thru adb already I know some people that did a mako build only problem is it bricked it.

It's the new security features of kitkat. Only allows apps to access their own folders. Try SDFix (root app from play store ). I now can read, write, copy to/ from sd or system.

Some things that I noticed that were missing (besides /sbin/recovery). There is no flash_image, dump_ image, or erase_ image in /system/ bin. Usually use flash_ image in terminal or in fastboot. Don't know if these binaries are generic, or device specific (partitions). Could copy from other device, but don't know if they will work properly. Glad I'm not alone in this.

I pulled the one in the Zone since that phone is most similar to ours, However I have a feeling the key bindings won't be correct, so I may still have to compile from source. I pulled the git for TWRP but haven't made changes to it yet. Its been a busy week at work and its only monday.

Some things that I noticed that were missing (besides /sbin/recovery). There is no flash_image, dump_ image, or erase_ image in /system/ bin. Usually use flash_ image in terminal or in fastboot. Don't know if these binaries are generic, or device specific (partitions). Could copy from other device, but don't know if they will work properly. Glad I'm not alone in this.

Those also don't exist in the stock recovery for the Optimus Zone. It looks as if busy box was added to the Zone CWM recovery now that I have looked at it closer. Its been a WHILE (Samsung Vibrant with Team Whiskey) since I built a recovery image.

I pulled the one in the Zone since that phone is most similar to ours, However I have a feeling the key bindings won't be correct, so I may still have to compile from source. I pulled the git for TWRP but haven't made changes to it yet. Its been a busy week at work and its only monday.

Yeah, we might only get one shot at success (before jtag ), so it's probably best to compile from our recovery and source. I used Apktool to decompile recovery (dd if =dev/ block/ mmcblk0p17 of =/cache/ testrecovery/recovery.img). Ramdisk has./ sbin/recovery. Copied that to /Sbin/ . Disappears after reboot. Haven't yet decompiled boot.img. Hoping to find "boot", and fastboot. More later.

Do you know anything about the Loki tool by Dan Rosenberg:
https://github.com/djrbliss/loki/blob/master/README.txt
Have to admit that I'm not quite this educated, but that looks promising.
Edit: This is like having to root your phone twice. Lol
EDIT: Don't nuke laf yet! I dd and decompiled it (had to rename it to boot.img in Apktool). There are some interesting images (png) in res folder. I'm gonna dd aboot and abootb, and see what's there. Gotta go to work soon. Probably more tomorrow.

Thanks for all your work. Im also very interested in being able to boot into stock recovery. Mainly to be able to preform a factory reset. Do you know of an alternative method to do a factory reset at this time since booting into any recovery isnt possible ATM?
