Update:
New Test build to see if it is finally working. I no longer have V500 to test with so if anyone wants to test and give me feedback.
Well it does not work...file removed
This will flash the persist.img from V510 to V500 which might be the key to get wifi and other hardware working. If it does not work and you need to flash old one back let me know. Make sure you back everything and be prepared to do a restore to stock if all else fails. That is the worst that can happen. Easy thing if it does not work is you flash the old persist.img which I will make if needed. I am downloading the TOT file now for v500 if it is needed...

Apart from Wifi and Bluetooth, is it functioning 100% Can it play games, which CM11 can't?
I flashed this using TWRP (was previously on cm11) and the G pad doesnt boot up. I just stay at that beginning screen where there is an LG logo with the text on the top left corner (secure booting error!, Cause device unlock so boot success!). I've had this message since i flash cm11 though.
Any idea what to do, it doesnt look like i can start-up in TWRP.
Im assuming you did a factory reset first?
yes, i did

It should have not touched your recovery. Did you use the right button combo to the get into the factory reset screen and then keep pressing power button to get into TWRP?
Enter recovery mode do full wipe and try again
To enter recovery follow my guide in general
Through some miracle of button combinations i was able to get back into twrp. Back on CM. Thanks guys!

I think maybe you are in the fast boot mode which is not visible. Try 2 clicks on vol down and hit the pwr button. that should get you into recovery

You will need to be sure the phone is powered off, not just screen timed out. Then press volume up and power at the same time, the options to get into recovery should be visible if you did alt. teenybin.

Yep. Same situation here, tried flashing the Gohma Rom 1.2 and let it die a few times with no luck. It'd just try to boot again and have the little bubbles fly around endlessly. The hard reset button was no good either. I'm really hoping someone's got something.

My lg g watch is stuck on this Spanish screen. It says: se ha detenido la apliaison android wear. I have tried everything except USB to a computer. As I don't have one. It won't connect to my phone and when it did the first time it did it wouldn't let me pull the menu out on the watch. I'm new to this whole smart watch wave and am lost. Thanks

You can't flash this yet (I'm working on that, I promise) but you can boot from it!
NOTE: THIS IS A WIP. Not a lot has been really tested yet and this is posted merely for your enjoyment atm.
I don't suggest flashing anything yet, not that there is anything to flash heh.
Also, I take no responsibility if you break your watch, yada, yada.
To do this, make sure you have Android's tools (for fastboot), an unlocked bootloader, and the watch connected to your computer in Debug mode.

Nope, though I'll try to get to it tomorrow after work! If you want, I can give you an overview of what I did:
1. Pull the source for CM11.
2. Dump boot and recovery images using dd.
3. Ran makevender.sh using lge and dory.
4. lunch'd it up.
5. Replaced the recovery.fstab with the fstab from the recovery ramdisk.
6. Ran makerecovery.sh.
7. fastboot boot'd the recovery.img
This is all off the top of my head and missing some random files you had to hack around with, of course. Hope you get it working and more progress is made because I can't get to it for another day!

Heh, don't worry, you didn't seem like you were shooting me down at all! Anyway, I tried TWRP but it wouldn't boot for some reason (it's extremely hard to debug at the bootloader level). So, I went back to CWM and got swipe control working! Here's a build of the recovery image
NOTE: To boot this do NOT flash it; you need to "fastboot boot" it. Also, don't blame me if your watch breaks, yadda, yadda.
As per the source, I'll tell you the truth, it's pretty ugly and I'm deathly afraid of git so give me a few days until I get around to uploading it.

This is exactly why I've rooted my watch! Well, that and the Gohma ROM.
The issue I'm having is pushing the .zip file to the sdcard. Getting an error saying it's read-only. Can't do it via adb because the second I boot into CWM my laptop forgets it's connected to anything.

It's only booting because it doesn't work when flashed to recovery. The file size is around 8 mb whereas the legitimate recovery is 23 mb, which I'm sure is an issue. Is it possible that I'm only creating a ramdisk that gets paired with the watch's kernel and I need to make an image with both of them? Sorry, this whole uBoot stuff confuses me a bit.

Try pushing the zip to the sd card while it's normally booted and then restart. I think that's what I did, IIRC.

Getting:
Code:

failed to copy 'emoji.zip' to '\sdcard': Read-only file system
This was just done while the watch is booted normally and plugged in via USB. It almost seems as though the root permission hasn't worked. I'm at a loss.

Weird... I don't even think you need root to push to /sdcard/ but I could be wrong. I'd suggest trying /sdcard/emoji.zip so it knows where to resolve. Also, I don't use Windows, but does the backslash work on adb as a file separator?

Hi guys here is the Lollipop 5.0 Nexus 10 Factory image from developers.google.com

Guess the modified boot image work for this too. However not sure anything else has changed from compiled root friendly boot to the one in final factory image.

All I can say is do not do a factory reset in TWRP after flashing the stock images.... [emoji35]
Tried Reflashing the stock images but that does not solve the non booting problems.
Cannot boot and cannot get into recovery.... Bootloader works.... Guess I need to format /data [emoji17]
Not having any luck either, has anyone been able to flash the factory image for the Nexus 10?
Yes. No problem here. Just trying out get root. Doesn't stick ?
Tried modified boot but doesn't work. Guests I'll try again.
I think that as long as you can boot to the BL everything is fine and dandy
Working this time, set the toolkit to force flash and changed usb ports to be on the safe side.

For those having issue booting after flashing follow these steps!!!
Make sure you flash the stock recovery (using twrp doesn't seem to work and can easily be flashed after the initial boot)
Wait for fastboot to finish the install, the device will restart when finished.
Stop the Device during the boot process then go back to the bootloader (pwr, vol +, vol -)
Select Recovery Mode
You will see an image that looks like a robot with its front cover over.
You can open the menu from here with Power + Volume Up.
Factory Wipe, then clear the cache.
Reboot

Well I guess I've turned into that guy too...
I have a Verizon LG Optimus Exceed 2 (VS450PP) with some form of CWM recovery installed (I used a LG L70 ms323 version).
For some reason, recovery still boots into stock recovery, but when I chose the factory reset, I see a CWM logo for a fraction of a second..
I tried flashing Cyanogenmod 11, but stupid me, I didn't check if the boot.img was locked. (shoulda Bump'd it!).
Now I get a security error when booting, and recovery isn't working properly either.
I've searched high and low for the KDZ/TOT/DLL files for this phone and haven't found any yet, so I'm turning this over to you guys at XDA for help.

Edit: Fixed the partition list in the recovery and it now works on the VS450PP in addition to the LS620. See post #33 in the thread linked above if interested.
So there's no working custom recovery for verizon exceed 2?

Still possible by bumping a modified boot.img, but a debloated stock ROM is likely the most you will ever see. I had been working on one, but my time has been so very limited of late. Unfortunately, there's lot much love for sub $100 devices in the development community these days, and I don't possess the skill set for AOSP development myself (yet).
If you (or anyone) has the time to freeze some of the crap on an active one of these without breaking things, I'd love to hear about it. I could then create a debloated, deodexed, zip-aligned one to flash in TWRP.

This is one of those cheap phones that would benefit from love and support. Some things it does better than my GS3. I used Romtoolbox to delete non-system apps. Email, gmail, some google apps. Kept some verizon crap just in case. Not sure if safe to delete google talkback. Probably safe (http://www.androidcentral.com/what-google-talk-back). Possibly a few more apps/services can be deleted i can't think of right now. I have ~180MB free space with GPS and some other apps installed. 32GB SD FAT formatted for media, downloads, some gps maps. Never had luck with link2sd, don't want to swap internal<>external storage.
I was uninstalling apps with romtoolbox and accidentally deleted a home theme. Now the home screen blinks. Is there a way to flash stock? Rooted, TWRP installed. I used to do it with older LG phones but can't remember how i did emergency recovery.

Boot to your TWRP recovery and restore your latest working backup?
Pull Battery out
Put Battery back in
Hold Volume Down and Power until a white screen comes up
You should get 4 options
Use Volume Down to select Wipe Cache
Press Power Button
It should then go into TWRP
If you don't have a backup you can return to complete stock (wipes the phone) via the links in my posting over here.

I've done accidental deletions with older phones but this time was different. I deleted my home screen theme while debloating. There's no LG emergency recovery tool, no KDZ on lg site. I dl elsewere and another custom lg tool from a forum. I could access settings and selected a new home screen theme. No need for recovery. I figured i can always dl a custom theme. Installed Nova launcher. Everything is good. I'll bookmark this page in case i screw up again. Thanks.

The post has a link to the kdz. You might want to grab it in case they update it to something that you cannot root or install a custom recovery on. Wish I had one for the LG Transpyre before they updated it to 5.1.1. Just saying...

I have 2 phones. Can i back up in TWRP and restore in the other phone? I've never done backups. Not a fan of backups in pc and phones.
Can QSLIDE be removed? I used to do it in L9 but i think i had to flash a zip file in recovery to get rid of it. Also quicknote needs to go.

Wow. Never heard of QSLIDE, but if you don't backup, you can't play. Simple as that. Pay for TiB to (or whatever) freeze and test, or take your chances. I would NEVER delete stuff without any backup.

I set up aquamail to see if this phone has notification light in home button. It does!!! very nice, unlike moto crap screen.
Amazing colors, so simple, so useful. Now whenever i need to know if i have messages i look at these phones instead of cheaporola screen.
I guess there's no hope for CM

Just verified link is good. Some have reported issues with Chrome and other browsers. Pulls fine with Firefox on my laptop and Lightning on my phone.

I had *just* put this up for you on AFH and was about to link you to it. Thanks to myfishbear over there, I can remove it. No need to waste file space if available elsewhere. Nice that he put everything all in one place. :good:
