[Testing] CWM Recovery G2 Mini [D620] - LG G2 Mini

Hello,
My name is ali, I am here trying to make a cwm recovery for your beloved device, and since I did not have this device, so you can help me to try and give the results.
because lg does not recognize FAT partitions, You can try to create an ext2 partition on your sdcard ext then use this method to install recovery : forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52214999
Here is the link of recovery (update.zip) : update.zip
Please provide the results asap, and do with your own risk.

This won't work as there is no way to unlock bootloader or bypass locked bootloader yet.

---

Will have to try and backup my phone first before doing this, this is my primary device
Edit: why is there 2 scripts in the folder?
One says phil the other one is yours.
Update:
Updater-script is phils
Updater-script~ is your's
Please fix this before testing, you have different mounting points in each also.

This device's bootloader is locked and noone knows how to unlock it. If someone installs a custom image (kernel, recovery, etc) then the bootloader will detect it and cancel the bootup.

It doesn't work, i tested it, it gives me the bootloader error since it's still locked but it was worth a try.

Update
Hi Guys
Here's Ali's recovery file with a possible fix, I hope it won't brick my device over the weekend.
Alifilth, I still think the update script file you got in your original is a possible cause.
Edit:
Alifilth, your zip file is buggy as hell, normally I can trace files but you got:
"# Launches SuperSU in daemon mode only on Android 4.3+.
# Nothing will happen on 4.2.x or older, unless SELinux+Enforcing.
# If you want to force loading the daemon, use "--daemon" instead
/system/xbin/daemonsu --auto-daemon &
# Some apps like to run stuff from this script as well, that will
# obviously break root - in your code, just search this file
# for "install-recovery-2.sh", and if present, write there instead.
/system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh"
and a recovery.img file that's suppose to do what?
This file is not recommended to anyone and I'm removing the file that I uploaded.

Try the recovery.img itself:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
Result:
Device can not boot to recovery, it displays:
[520] fastboot_init()
[620] USB init opt @ 0xffe0000
[640] udc_start()
LG logo shown ... I waitet 5 minues at that stage .. nothing.
Normal reboot worked.
dd back my original recovery
So I think my bootloader is unlocked but I don't know since I have nothing to test.

It probably is since it didn't display a "Security Error".
You should try adb reboot bootloader. And fastboot devices while it displays that and when the logo appears.

boot.img http://www.mediafire.com/download/2kku32gim2rje87/boot.img.zip
recovery.img http://www.mediafire.com/download/deab8s8e6qajtni/recovery.img.zip
So please help us with a custom recovery.
Thank you.

I tried the cwm one.
Set up a build machine with ubuntu.
Installed toolchain as recommended on source.android.com.
Downloaded cm11 sources and followed the instructions.
The recovery.img was build successful but doesn't boot.
Had not time to look for a reason.
I'll try again on the weekend.

@Zaaap72 has hacked the bootloader (aboot) for the G2 Mini.
No need for Loki any more

---

I must've missed something somewhere, my bad.
Update:
ok i'm screwed, many tuts require a synced CM repo, which I can't afford. 20 GB's of data is alot of cash, which i don't have.
