Hello guys, this is a Tutorial for the LG optimus L5 step for step Rooting, Installing bootloader, installing CWM and finally installing ROMS.
I made this thread because i thought the other threads are a bit scattered all over the Lg optimus forums which is a bit obsecure.
So here I set up the steps! Good luck!
NOTE: THIS IS AN OLD THREAD, THE METHOD USED HERE MIGHT NOT WORK ANYMORE. IF YOU CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THIS TUTORIAL MAKE SURE YOU KNOW HOW TO FIX THINGS WHEN YOU ****ED UP, NEITHER WILL I REPLY TO ANY QUESTIONS ASKED SINCE I DON'T HAVE THE DEVICE ANYMORE
Before doing any of these things: MAKE A BACKUP!
ROOTING
First, What is rooting? (for noobs)
For rooting the L5 you need the following things: "IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk" & a root package provided by XxXKINGMAKXxX (Attatched below)
1) go to system settings --> developer options --> turn USB debugging ON
Then, go to system settings --> Security --> allow unknown sources
2) Install SystemBackupTest.apk with a file manager then, open the app and reboot - the app should be kept open while rebooting !important!
when the phone is completely rebooted, change your mobile connection mode to “Charge Only Mode”, then reconnect the cable.
4) Run root.bat from the root package, your phone will reboot and it will be rooted!
UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER
For all E617g owners, go to thishttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2392762 thread.
You need to install bootloader if you want to continue with the next steps.
Its very important to choose the right unlock file, else you will get bootloops!
5) if you got E610/E612g, download emmc_appsboot for E610
if you got E612, download emmc_appsboot for E612
if you got E615, download emmc_appsboot for E615
next, install terminal emulator from google play unrar &
copy emmc_appsboot.bin to your internal SD card.
then, open up terminal emulator and type in:
su
[*] dd if=/sdcard/emmc_appsboot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
[*] reboot
INSTALLING CLOCK WORK MOD
6) Download "recovery.img" and copy it to your internal SD card.
(there is a special recovery img for the E615 - look in the attatchments)
7) Type in terminal emulator:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/sdcard/recovery-backup.img (optional - makes a back-up)
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
reboot recovery
If you did everything good your phone will now reboot in CWM!
If you want to go into CWM any other time: turn off your phone then, press volume down + power, when the menu lights pop up press home button for 2 seconds and you will see CWM.
ROMS
This isn't difficult at all, just download some roms (given below) and drag and drop the zip file into your external/internal sd card.
Before flashing a custom rom do a factory reset trough cwm!
Go into CWM and go to the folder where you placed your custom rom. You can navigate with the volume buttons and the power button(=enter).

Regarding E612G/E612F
For everyone with E612G/E612F/E610V/E610GO, these aren't compatible with CWM/bootloader, so no CWM means no custom ROMS. You can only root your phone and thats it!

You shouldnt have flashed v20 if you want cm10, also if you want to install a new rom first delete /system, /data and media /dalvik /cache, just wipe everyting from your phone then install cm10(.1).

READ, The titel already says stock ICS to Customrom!!! ICS = android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich !!!
- See my other Tutorial if you want Root + CWM on 4.1.2. --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405357
I would like to suggest updating cwm to a newer version and avoiding the cwm v. 6.0.2.8. Look up for another newer. Recently, some of us we had problems with that version.
is there no tool like the AIO -ToolKit to just override everything for the 610? other than kdz. something that does work when the mpt driver fails to install?

Any working links plz
Hello I can't find these files anywhere do you still have them? If so could you please email them to [email protected] plz. I am having an issue with booting rn and don't have access to a pc to fastboot so looking for things to try. My problem is that no matter what I try right after the HTC logo screen I always get kicked into 4ext, unless I boot bootloader but I cant do anything to stop booting up 4ext. Figured I'd change recoveries with your zip and see what happens if I use Twrp maybe? Please email me if u have a couple minutes I am really stuck and adamant on trying to fix it without a computer. Plz save meeeee flashalottt. [email protected]
Hello,
Many people have problem with bricked device because they complied many diffrent tutorials and broke their G2.
I will explain you how to root stock rom/update bootloader and back to stock via lg flashtool.
Perform operations step by step
Okay, so first thing - ROOT STOCK LG ROM.
1. Stump ROOT (Without usb cable, working with 20h ROM)
Stump Root v1.2 (Newest version)
-->> Download Stump ROOT v1.2 <<--
Go to settings>general>security and check "Unknown Sources" to install external APKs.
Now install Stump ROOT app from download link. (In installation progress Android will ask you for install permisions because this integrate in system code. OFC ACCEPT)
Open Stump ROOT and press GRIND, then wait sec and press BruteForce, after 1-2 min your device will restart and now u got ROOT, u need install -->> SuperSU <<-- from market.
2. Install TWRP for your device. (Autorec)
-->> Download AUTOREC <<--
Okay, it's easiest step, just install Autorec application (Be sure it's for your model in file name!)
Open, accept and flash.
This way will downgrade your bootloader and kernel. After device reboot u have already ROOT and TWRP.
Now u can update first your TWRP to newest 2.8.5.1
-->> HERE THEARD WITH NEW TWRP <<--
If you download new TWRP, then u can easy flash it via -->> Flashify <<-- app from market. There select recovery>zip and select your new TWRP, it will reboot device to recovery and flash. (BE SURE IT'S FOR YOUR D802 MODEL!!)
3. Update bootloader. (IMPORTANT!!! U ALWAYS NEED UPDATE BOOTLOADER WITH VERSION ROM WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE, IF YOUR ROM V20H, USE 20H BOOTLOADER, IF YOU HAVE 20D, THEN USE 20D BOOTLOADER OR UPDATE YOUR DEVICE TO 20H!!)
Now u need becareful, because it is easy way to brick device if you will not perform tutorial.
-->> Download v20h bootloader <<--
Download bootloader to your memory storage in device, and open flashify, press Menu button and Reboot Recovery, when it will reboot to TWRP, press INSTALL and select bootloader v20h zip file in path you downloaded it.
Now reboot device and Enjoy ROOTED device with newest bumped TWRP and newest bootloader.. AND NO BRICK )
Enjoy your powerfull device.
I will update theard with new steps like install kernels, back to stock step by step, easiest way to secure your device.
I know there are many tutorials, but we have still many people on XDA with problems like QS_BULK device, 9008, secure verify problem etc etc. So this is way to bypass every danger things.
Im not creator of any used in this tutorial mods, i just complied few theards to few easy steps

Hi good Job!
I have Two questions.
Can i upgrade my twrp Version with flashing the zip file in twrp?
Which Bootloader version use cyanogenmod 12?
Thank you!
A few additional info for the D802 variant:
-You don't NEED to change boot loader if you're fully on stock unless:
--You plan to use AOSP Lollipop
--You use any JB based ROMs (they should say in their respective threads for the D802)
-If you stick with the KK boot loader, only flash BUMPed flashables (they should state if they use this method)
-I recommend to use Blastagator's TWRP as it has thermal protection that stock TWRP doesn't have
-Only flash ROMs/any other flashables while the phone is cool
-Most ROMs can use the KK modem unless stated otherwise
Correct me on any misunderstood/incorrect information

I just wrote this tutorial for Stock, and it's always good to have new stuff. It's safe with bumped twrp and it shouldn't make any problem with device.
Thank you guys!
So i dont need to change my Bootloader to Flash cm12?
Installed twrp via autorec and im on Stock kk.

Ok, good. I liked your tutorial, pretty informative.
Hello, i'm stuck at this step :
"3. Update bootloader. (IMPORTANT!!! U ALWAYS NEED UPDATE BOOTLOADER WITH VERSION ROM WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE, IF YOUR ROM V20H, USE 20H BOOTLOADER, IF YOU HAVE 20D, THEN USE 20D BOOTLOADER OR UPDATE YOUR DEVICE TO 20H!!)

-->> Download v20h bootloader <<--
Download bootloader to your memory storage in device, and open flashify, press Menu button and Reboot Recovery, when it will reboot to TWRP, press INSTALL and select bootloader v20h zip file in path you downloaded it. "
Edit : i flashed the rom without KK bootloader and it worked
-> I Was on 20H. I rooted, installed twrp, updated twrp. I've flashed 20d KK bootloader and now, secure booting error
I have access to download mode. What can i do do boot normally ? (i know i could probably flash a kdz but i don't really want to)
i cannot enter into the twrp by pressing the vol down + power, it just ask me whether i want to format, this means i still do not have twrp ?

Well if you cant enter your recovery or system then you have to flash kdz.

You already flashed TWRP right? If so then you need to confirm it twice with the power button. It says like format data/factory reset but it will boot into the custom recovery.
please help me...i have a lg g2 d802 32gb model ..its a traded phone...when i got the phone it was running 4.4.2 kitkat the phone was rooted bt there was no suprrueser app i installed the app and then i flashed recovery with autorec now whenever i open my data or wifi and use my phone for some minutes my screen becomes unresponsive is it due to the jellybean bootloader that the autorec installed or something else please help me...
Recovery combo gone
The thread seems like dead now, but maybe I get help .
I flashed 20H and now there is the recovery combo, when I try pwr + volume down it simply reboots . The recovery is instaled, but I only can access it from software (that now is corrupted, so, soft brick).
Wrong combo

You're not soft bricked, it's just that key combo changes in 20H, new combo to enter recovery is vol down + power key, As lg logo appears, release keys and press vol up + vol down and you can easily access twrp
and i ran intro bootloop.. help!
I'll update theard soon to aosp/lollipop support, bootstacks explains etc.

Well with the fact that i just 'Beginner' in android -developer world i spent two days (read and search) to just know what the right steps to have unofficial rom . So this is not thread from professional it's just what i understand so far . (SORRY FOR BAD ENGLISH)
It's some simple Steps :
1) First you need to root your Device to have fully adminstrator . (This make you can execute terminal order from you and the apps)
2)After you get root install flash tool To do Setup 4 . (Rasher or Flashify)
3)You must UNlocked you bootloader . (So the new rom can edit your boot process)
4)Install custom Recovery [CWM]or[PHILZ]or[TWRP]. (This make you can do zip install from external card)
5)Get your rom download and copy to your external card.
NOW YOUR READY
OK Now my guide is for LG G2 MINI (D618)
The custom rom is [ROM][5.1.1][D618/D620] Cyanogenmod 12.1 Stable
And my phone have OFFICIAL android 5.0.2 lollipop
1) ROOT : FOLLOW THIS GUIDE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/development/root-root-g2-mini-lollipop-t3123652
If it not success . do factory reset and start the root again but this time (don't setup superSU from store and don't restart your phone and IT's su Not Su) this should success .
2) DOWNLOAD THE FLASH TOOL FROM PLAY STORE AND KEEP IT
3) BOOTLOADER : FOLLOW THIS GUIDE (YOU MUST TAKE BACKUP FOR YOUR PHONE FIRST)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/development/bootloader-d620-d618-t3127819
4) CUSTOM RECOVERY : FOLLOW THIS GUIDE (CWM SUCCESS WITH ME) (JUST FLASH .IMG FILE WITH SETUP NUM (2))
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/development/recovery-lg-g2-mini-d618-v10c-t2854493
5) DOWNLOAD THE FILE YOU NEED FROM HERE AND COPY TO EXTERNAL CARD AND FOLLOW Installation :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-1-stable-t3175833
NOW IF THIS SETUP'S SUCCESS THE HARD PART IS OVER.
6) Now reboot into recovery mode (you will find this in Flash tool)
in recovery mode you need just two things (WIPE AND INSTALL)
7)CHOOSE "Wipe" CACHE, DATA and SYSTEM (THIS WILL DELETE YOUR PERSONAL DATA AND SETTING AND EVERY THING)
8)CHOOSE INSTALL ZIP FROM EXTERNAL CARD AND CHOOSE FIRST KK_BOOTSTACK_D618_1.1.ZIP THEN cm-12.1-20150828-UNOFFICIAL-g2m.ZIP
9) RECOMMENDED TO INSTALL GAPPS (tk_gapps-modular-pico(uni)-5.1.1-20150824-signed.ZIP)
10) NOW YOU HAVE DONE .. REBOOT YOUR PHONE AND IT WILL DO SOME INSTALL FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTE AND YOU WILL SEE SETTING SETUP ON THE SCREEN
11)F YOU HAVE unstable SIM signal JUST GO TO RECOVERY AND WIPE ONLY CACHE IT WILL BACK TO NORMAL.
THIS IS MY experience ON MY G2 D618 I DON'T KNOW ABOUT OTHER PHONE'S
THANK YOU XDA AND XDA-DEVELOPER'S FOR YOUR HARD WORK .
Thank you very very much for this great explanations!!!
Tried to flash custom recovery with Rashr after unlocking bootloader. Tried CWM, Philz and TWRP and always ended up with attached screen.
What do you think the mistake is? And what do you mean with setup Num 2? Do you mean kernel flash in Rashr?
Thank you!

1)Download official android lollipop from here (chose your country ) its KDZ File and flash with LG Flashtool 2014 Here
Now do the setup from the First setup .. and setup Num 2 i just mean Flash Custom Recovery File (Dont use TWRP Use CWM with Flashify .. Rasher didn't success with me ) Hope you make it

this is the stock android recovery that means that you didn't or couldn't flash a custom recovery
make sur you extracted the zip file and flashed the recovery.img with flashify
Hmmm, did everything exactly like you've written until flashing recovery. Now I'm stuck with attached screen when entering recovery...
Any idea?
Thank you!

this is the fastboot screen
the recovery you tried to flash is corrupt make sur the file isn't corrupted and the that is matching your device
i think your device is d620r and your trying to flash the one from the thread [RECOVERY][CWM][PHILZ][TWRP] G2 Mini D618
if you can boot into system reflash the matching recovery TWRP for your device if you can't connect your phone to pc
use fastboot to flash the recovery

don't know what's wrong !! if bootloader was locked you will have a security error on boot not the fastboot screen when enterig to recovery maybe you're doing the wrong combination to access recovery try with an application or with flashify or rasher to reboot to recovery

As most of us know only certain variants of the G6 is allowed by LG I to be unlocked and then that allows us to have some fun, I've posted most links to important threads that I feel you want to view.
Any questions then just find the help thread in the stickies section.
Here's some links to what most of you will want to know.......

Hi, as you are all aware some of us are lucky enough to unlock our bootloaders and flash custom firmwares/twrp, however many guides tell us how to do that but none tell you how to go back total stock+locked.
I've personally seen a few bricked phones as not doing it correctly or flashing on a locked bootloader which can cause BIG problems, here I'll help with a small but useful guide and simple steps I made to return stock.
**PLEASE NOTE THIS GUIDE IS FOR H870/US997**
I'm not 100% certain on how to revert changes on H872 but once I do I will add.
Now for this your going to need
1) stock unrooted zip for twrp
2) twrp installed
3) a pc
4) LG up/uppercut or bridge
5)stock recovery image
6) about 25-30 mins spare time
Step 1)Firstly your going to want to download stock zip from which can be found here
https://forum-xda--developers-com.c...ment/rom-op-il-lg-h870-11d-rom-t3711191/page1
, I recommendcyou copy to an external SD card for this.
Step 2) Next download stock recovery IMG from here
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G6/H870/H87010f
( same I used) and again copy to external SD card.
Step 3) Once you've done that reboot into twrp, then perform a factory reset and install the stock zip. Once that's installed **DO NOT INSTALL ANY ROOT ** reboot your device, skip though the setup and go right to settings, and click on build number to open developer settings and check to make sure ENABLE OEM UNLOCK is selected. If it is then reboot back to twrp via button combo.
Step 4) Once in twrp select install and select image instead of zip, then find and install stock recovery image and reboot recovery, now you should have stock recovery so it should perform a factory reset, if it does then reboot again ( it's a good way to make sure everything is ok) and if it boots fine then connect to PC,( you can if you wish skip step 3 and go right to step 4)
Step 5) Open up your lgup/uppercut/bridge (preferred choice), if LG up/uppercut then you need the latest kdz file downloaded to your pc, if bridge it detects your phone and should inform if it needs an update, if it does then allow the update to latest.
If not and your device is on and fully working then ONLY NOW can you use adb to reboot fastboot and enter "fastboot OEM lock", doing so will once again erase your device but now it's full stock and locked like you never touched it.
1 note I must add is NEVER EVER flash anything via fastboot is your device is locked as it will brick your phone. Your greeted with either of the screens below

Good, guides for newbie are always a good thing here, just wanted to report that flashing stock recovery it's a useless passage if you flash the kdz trough lgup because it will overwrite TWRP anyway, another useless passage (only if already coming from stock firmware or rom based on it) is to flash a stock rom from twrp, LGUp does all the necessary after
Thanks for your efforts, as I said before this is really a good idea and imho it'll prevent useless threads and bricks =)

That'd be the "recovery.img 23.6 MB May-30-17", right?
Great guides, thank you!
