My phone was rooted and cwm installed. went to update internet app on phone (stock app) phone booted into cwm recovery. Went to reboot just booted back to cwm. looked at install zip from /sd card only have one directory /clockworksmod/. installed lg drivers on pc but its still not recognizing phone. i have downloaded the stock rom on to my pc just need a way to put it on phone. cant put it on a sd card as phone does not have a slot for one. try to go into boot loader screen but just get cwm recovery. there are no backups. ADB does not recognize phone. cant use factory restore as it just goes to cwm recovery screen.
Sorry if its in the wrong place.
Feel free to move it
Thanks hope you can help

can you install custom recovery?
this is new but use this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971245
all the data in my phone are gone. is there still a need for custom recovery? and what do i do after custom recovery?
all the info you need is in this thread including custom recovery. After the custom recovery is done you shall beableto try out any of the ROMs listed there. follow the instructions to the letter.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901247
oh, the key combo to access your custom rom(once it is done) is Home+Volume Down+Power Button It even gives you the option to connect in usb mode so you can put the ROM you want and then disable usb mode and go back to main menu then choose flash from zip.

i've tried reading all the guides. the problem is, i don't understand lots of things for example, partition the SD card.
1.Partition SDcard (swap: 0, ext: 512), ext2-ext3, then ext3-ext4 it.
i understand the (swap: 0, ext: 512) part, but not the rest. sorry. im a beginner at these
all those options are available to you in the custom recovery. choose partition card.

I believe that is fixed, SD card does work for me under recovery.
Hi Guys,
I've got a SGP511 WiFi only (castor_windy), with root access and an unlocked bootloader. but to install AOSP 7.1 I need to update my version of TWRP to 3.0.0.
I installed TWRP via TabZ2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26 batch file and can access recovery but every time i select install look at my SD card and change to images and select the castor_winsy 3.0.0 image i dont get an option to install to recovery i only get kernel how do i resolve this ?
I have re flashed FW (KitKat) via flashtool loads of times
rooted
installed TabZ2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26 batch file
and every time i get the same option.... cant flash to recovery or boot only kernel
i have attached a screenshot so that nobody thinks i am going mad
can you please help me thanks :fingers-crossed:
It's been a while since I used TWRP 2.8.XX...so no idea what's the issue there but I'd just flash TWRP recovery via fastboot. Worked for me without any problems :good:

Hi ... Is that using the ADB fastboot recovery TWRP.img?
I am on KitKat just wondering if that's why it won't work have you got to be on 6.01 ?
Well, actually it shouldn't matter on which Android version you are, but to have the latest boot.img and radio.img installed I'd flash the latest stock ROM available here on XDA which means by the way having TWRP 3.0.2.0 as well and after that you might be ready for AOSP 7.1
Just have look at kulvertti's thread in the "General" subforum. Since you have already intalled a custom recovery there shouldn't be any problems.

i had no problem flashing the boot.img that part was ok but when i went to flash the recovery it never seemed to work for me, in the terminal window in the SDK programme tools folder which is the same folder as the image i downloaded from your thread is in (Twrp-3.0.0-0-castor-windy.img and twrp_castor_windy.img) it said something about sizes but said it went ok tried to boot into recovery and it never worked
in the terminal window whilst my SGP511 was in fastboot mode i typed fastboot recovery Twrp-3.0.0-0-castor-windy.img is this is correct script or have i got this wrong ?

Ok, you need a PC and adb tools installed.
Download the stock and follow this video (click on the word "video" to visit the video) after installing the ADB tools on your PC.
okay ill try it
After you install ADB on your computer, plug your phone into your computer and run "adb devices". It might take a bit for the command to list your phone as it has to start the ADB server first. Once you see it, copy the full filepath of your stock ROM, and run "adb push ROMLOCATION /sdcard/"
