I recently changed my framework-res.apk and now I'm stuck at the boot animation. I don't want to completely reset my device with a kdz. I've looked around and haven't found much about recovery. I have the original apk file, but I just need a way to push it. Anyone have a way?

Do you have cwm installed ? If not you can try: phone powered down , hold vol+ home + power, should bring up message saying something about service center..
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw, remount /system
rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk
exit
adb push /path-to/orginal/framework-res.apk /system/framework
adb reboot
Thanks for the reply. I didn't read about CWM before this happened, otherwise this would be easy. I've held down every button combination at boot that I can think of and get nothing like that. When holding vol- + home + power I get an Android and a progress bar that causes the phone to reboot after no more than 10 seconds. Nothing shows up in the device manager during that time either.

Well crap. Well it's still not booting..
I can get into fastboot through omap4boot. If I can get a cwm recovery img for my device I should be able to fix it.

fastboot + cwm recovery only works if you've unlocked bootloader
easiest way to restore your phone now is by s/w mode ,either lg tool or offline method
or "vol+ and home and power" and the rest from 2nd post in this thread

All you have to PRESS is volume down, nothing else.Merely press it because if you hold it down, it won't boot into recovery

I had cwm before i unlocked boot loader...install with 9 installer.apk and choose test version (stable version won't boot)..plus if you have a CWM backup( they r also in the forums as well) adb restore is 50 times faster than using LG Update tool.

But I don't have any ADB and can't boot into the ROM, I'll just use the LG Update tool. I have a thread detailing what working modifications I did and how I did it, so I can get all those working. Thanks guys.

Wh. I you see flashing LEDs..no flashing LEDs means no CWM if you don't have it( it comes and goes sometimes FM) try pushing recovery.IMG thru adb

there are two types of cwm recovery, one uses 2nd boot and other recovery partition , if bootloader is locked and phone won't boot you can't use neither and cwm backups are useless

As a young developer I HIGHLY recommend becoming very familiar with ADB, it saved a BUNCH of times on my Galaxy S...its great if you can get the hang of it, all commands are the same for all devices, the help section is sort of sketchy, but with a lot of trial and error, I picked it up nicely

Yes, I know how useful ADB is and use it frequently, but in my phone's state it's not starting and won't ever start.

The best thing to do (if you haven't done so already) is to flash the kdz (thanks cmahendra and everyone else for y'all hard work) and start from scratch. Second, install artas182x (thanks Artas!) cwm and make a backup. I had to learn the hard way too

To the OP i am currently in the same boat as far as not being able to boot and not being able to access adb. Have you figured anything out or are you still stuck? Before chimes in I do have CWM( the lights flash on reboot) but when i press the -vol button the phone does nothing.
Try connecting in s/w upgrade mode ( holding vol + while inserting usb to phone) it should load some drivers and you should be able to connect in adb. If not connect in every mode possible, to load any drivers(they will still load even though your phone isn't showing any signs of life as long as you have the installed LG drivers previously)

Hello Guys,
Yesterday I received my ATT LG E970 Phone, I was trying to remove ATT Apps from the phone. So, I did using ..

After Rebooting, I got a Google Logo instead of LG.. Don't know and as per instructions I entered in Fast Boot mode. In fast Boot mode some Green Android icon came and I can change the setting using volume + and - button. I eneterd from there in RECOVERY Mode.
After pressing Power in Recovery Mode of Green Android the phone rebooted and It eneterd in "Team Win Recovery Project". I din't know what to do with it. After some searching I did a Factory Reset using Wipe button in "Team Win Recovery Project". and Rebooted but still Noting Happened. Phone restarted with Google Logo and there after nothing comes :S
After that I agin entered in Fast Boot Mode.. using Vol + and Power buttton together and eneterd in Recovery mode and again went to Wipe in "Team Win Recovery Project" and then Advanced and selected all folders and Deleted all. After that I rebooted using "Team Win Recovery Project" but it said NO OS INSTALLED.
I was totally stuck. I don't know what to do. Finally I slept with 8 hrs Messed. I woke up in morning and phone is not even Starting now. When I connect to Charger. Red Light Blinks in power button n then Goes OFF. and I tried connecting it to PC too via USB but again same happens. The PC didn't recognized the Phone. I also Tried in DEVICE Manger, but No use. I can't see any Device there too. :S
Please Help WHAT Should I DO NOW ????
Any help will be really appreciated.

Hi,
dont panic, I went thru exactly the same process right up till the TWRP and wipe. All you need to do is get hold of the stock rooted rom zip from here:
Then copy it onto your sdcard, for which you can connect to the computer using Advanced menu of the TWRP, and load the sdcard, which will connect as USB storage to PC.
Then once file is on sd card, just go back to main TWRP meny and select install option, then select the zip file you just copied.
Let TWRP do its stuff, then do a factory reset / then go into reboot system.
Wish you all the best. Once the ROM has installed, now you can search for the latest TWRP, install it then go on to latest kit kat roms in exactly the same way.
milind
hope he follows up with a thank you.

That file is stock firmware inside the zip is a .tot file that can be renamed to .bin and used with lgnpst to bring the phone back to stock. You would need to be able to get into download mode
again. If you do use the g33k3r file you would need to root again then use Freegee app from play store to unlock bootloader and install recovery.

Now I'm downloading ...
ttp://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lgoptimusg/att/firmware/LGE970AT-00-V10o-ATT-US-SEP-29-2012-0.zip
I guess this is original ATT LG E970 Firmware. I will copy it into my external Memory Card and then will insert into phone. After that using TWRP I'll be going to use this Zip file and after that factory reset. Am I correct ? Do I need to follow different steps ?
Let me know. Moreover do I need to unlock Phone again? When I received it was already in Unlocked State. So installing the above link firmware will lock it again? Or should I proceed with the link I posted earlier, I mean this ..
ttp://downloads.codefi.re/g33k3r/LGE970AT-01-V20j-310-410-MAR-08-2013.zip

Please let me know.

you say that the phone will restart on recovery mode ¿ will this happens every time I boot the phone or only through this program?
I'm willing to install it on a p712

Only once, after applying these steps.
another doubt:
¿is there anything you can flash on the L7 II, or what's the purpose of using cwm at this point?
has anyone tried backup and restore, wiping battery stats? which other features that can be used at this stage are provided? p715/v10i/india/vroot1.7.6
Also works on P710 (L7 2). Didn't run the script pushed APPSSBL.bin and recovery on sd then put them in dev/block/. Works good i can make backup, restore and flash but there is a problem. If i leave the phone off for some hours when i start it it will go into a bootloop. To stop this I need to take battery out and open the phone using external charger.

To stop this (bootloop) you need to take battery out, and then put battery back, connect external charger, and press power button... Right?

No to stop the bootloop i do this. Plug out battery for 1 minute. Start the phone with charger only. If it doesn't work wait until a yellow triangle and battery comes then push battery in and open phone. But i flashed the appssbl again using adb from that rar and i didn't get bootloop.

Hello Riskey,
Unfortunately I did.. And the method mention below by Christi also did NOT work. Whenever I plug the charger to the phone, it shows LG symbol and goes to CWM recovery.. However I flashed stock Rom on my P715 and its fine now. The problem I think qas an update.. The phone took an update from LG which said 1 app to be updated.. And when I restarted the phone this isaue occurred.. Maybe this will help you?!

No to stop the bootloop i do this. Plug out battery for 1 minute. Start the phone with charger only. If it doesn't work wait until a yellow triangle and battery comes then push battery in and open phone. But i flashed the appssbl again using adb from that rar and i didn't get bootloop.

Sorry man maybe it is different problem because I am running it on a p710 with latest firmware the 10j one. Anyway you can always recover bootlop with Kdz flasher. For those that don't know how. Pull battery out. Wait 1 minute or so then press Volume-Down and hold it while you insert your usb. There will be a yellow screen (Emergency Mode). Be sure to have all drivers download the firmware for your phone, run Kdz Flasher Type: 3GQCT - Phone Mode: Emergency and run start. You will recover the bootloops.
OK, so I tried to see if this fixed the bootloop problem (do I have a death wish or what?). With the previous version of CWM, I booted to recovery mode from power down - got the bootloop (recovered with battery out and charger plugged + home).
Now, flashed the new image. Succesfully got to CWM via reset to recovery from power menu. However, when trying to get to CWM via button combination (power, vol up & down, home), I never get to CWM but only to regular boot sequence. Tried maybe ten times, always the same. Anyone can explain?

Hi ,i have the same model,does this recovery works fine? i mean ,does it have bootloops problems? and to answer your quesrion,try using this combination:
Power button + up volume + button home
after the vivration just release the power button and keep pressing the other 2 until you reach the recovery screen.
Tell me if its works,and also if the recovery is stable for the p714,thanks

Thanks mate. :good: This combination brought me to the recovery menu. Don't know why I didn't think about it - was the same with the Samsung device I previously had.
And I can confirm that this fixes the bootloop issue. We have CWM for this device.
Hello, today I wanted to restore my previous CWM backup. So i started with cleaning partitions before restoring. I've begun with system and my phone hang. I waited about 30 minutes, then pulled out battery with hope I'll try again via CWM. The thing is - I can't boot it into recovery: Volume Up/Volume Down+Power leads to normal start up (LG screen and nothing further). So i connected it to PC and wanted to make it right via ADB. Unfortunely it seems I had USB Debugging turned off, and ADB isn't recognizing my phone now... What should I do now?
I have rooted D620r with unlocked bootloader.

You must never delete partitions before restoring a backup especially system!!
CWM will do that for you...
Boot your device in factory reset mode (which simply boots CWM) by doing the following key combination: (while your device is off - pull and plug the battery to be sure) press and hold Vol - and power, when you see the LG logo, release the power button and press it again. Hold them until you see the facory reset mode, then simply enter YES. It will reboot to CWM.

Weird, I was always doing this when I had HTC Desire S
Used this countless times and always worked!
Ok, i've done as You said, something like CWM loading screen appeared, and then went back to LG Screen. LG Screen standing still and nothing happens
The only good thing is that I can access ADB for 20 seconds when CWM is "loading", but no action can be executed - every command ends up with "waiting for device".
Thanks for Your reply, though! :highfive:
EDIT:
I solved my problem by using "Emergency software restore" mode featured in "LG User Support Tool". I got clean, unrooted system now and I need to modify it again but...
...THAT'S WHY I REGISTERED HERE!
Lock bootloader
Hello everyone.
I was just going to try out CM11, but got one question. Is it possible to lock the bootloader and revert everything to stock? There were some talks about new stock ROMs coming out and they might not work after a custom ROM.
Hello everybody,
since saturday I have a really big problem. Until now I tried to find a similar problem from an other person in the internet in order to fix mine but that was not possible.
So in my last hope I am now writing it down here. Hopefully someone can help me:
The phone was/is rooted and has TWRP as recovery installed (v3.21). The software is still the original EMUI.
On saturday my Huawei Honor 5x (Model KIW-L21) gave me the notification that there is an software update avaible. So I backuped everything with TWRP to my sd-card and copied it to the computer. After this I ran th eupdate. The update downloaded the new software, then rebootet to the recovery, installed the update.zip automaticly and rebootet again. Then there was written on the screen "Huawei software installing ... DO NOT unplug usb or press any key!". Also there was "0%" all the time. It did nothing. also the phone was not connected with usb.
After an hour I long pressed the power button. after two seconds there was the text "Warning: The powerkey is long pressed, please release powerkey to avoid system crash" displayed. I pressed it longer and the phone turned off.
Now I have the following problem. When the phone is turned off, I can:
press the power button: the phone starts, the "honor ... android" logo is shown but nothing more happens. ("fastboot devices" -> no devices found, "adb devices" -> device found but no permission to enter commands)
press the power button and the volume up button and the volume down button at the same time: normally this should take me in the recovery mode, mut it doesn't anymore. Instead the "EMUI" update screen is shown (see above "huawei software installing ..." with "0%") ("fastboot devices" -> no devices found, "adb devices" -> no devices found)
press the power button and the volume up button at the same time: I get a huawei menu with three buttons: "reboot", "wipe user cache" and "factory reset". I tried both (wipe and reset) wich both finished without an error. But nothing changes ("fastboot devices" -> no devices found, "adb devices" -> no devices found)
press the power button and the volume down button at the same time: I get an "eRecovery" menu from huawei with three buttons: "Reboot", "power off" and "Recover with latest software". The last button lets me connect to my wifi and then "searching for packages", with failes all the time. ("fastboot devices" -> no devices found, "adb devices" -> no devices found)
This problem occures with and also without the sd-card. Also there is no "update.zip" or "update.app" on the sd-card.
I really hope somebody can help me. I only need to get into the recovery. If I am there I can recover the backup or install a new ROM. That would be no problem for me. But at the moment I get nothing :crying:
Or maybe a tool to reset the phone completly? to start over from the beginning?
greetings,
Christopher
PS.: Thanks for your efford.
PSS.: Sorry for my bad english, I really try my best and hope that you understand what I am trying to say.
Same problem here... Please help us :'(

to enter fastboot mode
1. Place the device in fastboot mode:
Turn off the device. (then wait for at least 2 seconds) For a mobile phone, press and hold the volume down and power keys simultaneously for at least 10 seconds (for a tablet, press and hold the volume up and power keys).
2. If the above operations do not switch the device to fastboot mode, please try the following steps:
Turn off the device. (then wait for at least 2 seconds) Then insert the USB cable and press and hold the volume down and power keys simultaneously for at least 10 seconds.
Step 2 worked for me every time

AGAIN AND AGAIN, when you receive an update notification you MUST first flash back to stock recovery or it won't update with TWRP !!!
- To recover a stock recovery you need to boot onto download mode/your bootloader mode (Power+Volume Down) : plug your phone to your computer and type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
From there you will loose your connexion with your computer. So unplug your phone and reboot manually holding down the Power button for some seconds.
If the system ever update your phone, BE VERY PATIENT !
The above note should probably part of a sticky !!!
If you don't get back to your Home screen and if you need TWRP back, reboot again onto download mode/your bootloader mode (Power+Volume Down) : plug your phone to your computer and type "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" (or whatever the custom recovery name).

The problem a lot of people were having is TWRP flashed enough of the update that they lost custom recovery and had no way to get to the bootloader / fastboot ... that's why I posted the instructions above and in about 4 other threads.
Did you ever get your phone updated ?

"fastboot & rescue mode" with a working usb connection.
What is the next step? If I now flash the stock recovery, does the phone manages to finish the system update?
Or should I flash the twrp recovery and not the stock revocery?
greetings,
Christopher
EDIT:
I flashed the stock recovery and also the twrp recovery. both times i startet the phone and hoped the installation of the new software will go on. But it didn't.
So my problem is still resistant. so what can I do? How do I stop the update from blocking my recovery? I do not need the update. maybe I can reset my device with the fastboot access somehow?

All the full updates are in the file depot
Use stock recovery plus the full update for your version.
You have to hold volup + voldown + power to start the update
Refresh TWRP / Root and your good to go

I found the stock recovery at https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=51004 but I have no idea what update I must use and how to use it.
Could you please give me a concrete link with a little introduction? Do I have to copy the update file to my sd-card? or do I have to use the "fastboot update *" command?
(Most of the files are for "KIW-L24" but I have a "KIW-L21" ... is there a significant difference? Od do I can use also the other files?)
Also, don't I have to stop the wrong update first?
greetings,

both did not work. I copied them into the "dload" folder in the root of the sd-card and started the phone with volup+coldown+power.
The only thing the phone said was "Software install failed! ... Press powerkey to conrifm ... Shutdown system now".

The only way I know to flash a ROM, is to go over TWRP.
So I now did the following:
Phone power off
connect to pc
voldown+power
in the fastboot flash the recovery from twrp
shutdown
copy the "customromtemplate-5x-plk21-b130-r3.zip" to the sd-card
volup+coldown+power what normally starts twrp, but only the huawei update manager is shown
I only need twrp, no update and nothing else.
What options do I have left, because "flash a ROM" is not working ...
How can I stop this terrible update that is blocking my twrp?

I flashed TWRP using "kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img". I also used this one last time (one month ago) and it worked then and also now.
Flashing was successful, but when I press volup+power I get a huawei menu.
At the top there is the "EMUI" circle and below there are three buttons:
Reboot system now
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
I can move around in this little menu by using the volume keys.
But this is not TWRP.
And normally I enter the recovery by using volup+voldown+power. But this is currently blocked by the update progress from huawei.

http://forum.android.com.pl/topic/205126-instalacjaodzyskiwanie-systemu-rom-za-pomoca-fastboot/
This is the polish version of manual, I will write you how to do it:
1. Download ADB and Fastboot
2. Extract to c:/adb
3. Download from this thread firmware for you (extracted version!) http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/stock-kiw-l24-l21-t3312684 If you have problem what firmware you have to install, take look at the back side of phone, at the down you will se KIW-L21 or 24 (or another). Copy all files to adb folder
4. Rund adb program
5. Write in the command line: cd c:/adb
6. Connect phone to usb to download mode (power and vol- combination)
7. Write in fastboot command: fastboot flash recovery recover.img (or recovrey .img, see the file and type it name) - wait for install
8. And now: If the flash is succesfull, reboot the phone to recovery (power and volume+) and wipe all data. Phone have to work.
But if flash is not succesfull, plug again usb with download mode
9. Write this commands: fastboot flash cust cust.img -wait for install
and: fastboot flash system system.img -also wait, system.img can took a while
10. Now you will enter recovery and wipe all data
11. Again plug usb cable and install firmware with those commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash system system.img

With this I am not able to start my phone again. It will boot normally and I have a clean android. No userdata and no root.
So I now did the same like last month:
Unlock OEM -> not necessary, because it is already unlocked
install twrp with fastboot
reboot to twrp and there it is again
I did exactly what you said and also I did exactly the same thing I did last month but both times there is the same result: TWRP will not show up.
The "stock recovery" is blocking twrp in some sort of way. I can do whatever I whant ... volup+power out of the fastbook mode, or with "adb reboot recovery", or other ways ... twrp will not show up.
How is this possible? I also tried different twrp images. (The "kiwi_twrp_2-27_recovery.img" and "kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img" out of your repository, and also the "twrp-3.0.0-0-kiwi.img" and "twrp-3.0.2-0-kiwi.img" from the twrp website itself ... always the same result: no twrp)

First off thanks for the very informative post.
Without actually having the phone in my hands I'm also stumped at what to try next.
After flashing TWRP and still in the boot loader unplug the USB before you reboot with power and volume up.
That's all I can think of right now

I must thank you for all your help
So I now read some more articles and tried some things. So there are old problems solved, but also new problems came up:
For me it is no longer possible to flash a recovery that is permanent. I have no idea why but I am ignoring it, because I can start the phone with voldown+power into bootloader and then use a usb-connection to enter the following command:
fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-kiwi.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So i can enter twrp temporary and because I do not need TWRP this often, that is ok for me.
BUT:
with the extracted "UPDATE.APP" and flashing some "*.img" files manually (see my last post), I have a more or less working "L21C432B130" version of android.
So now there is everything original (recovery, system, ...).
The update to "L21C432B140" is still not working. But that is also something I can live with.
So now I whant to restore my old system in order to have my old data/apps/... .
So I enter my temporary TWRP, go to Restore and select my old backup. Then the restore starts. Restoring EFS, Restoring efs2, Restoring Recovery, Wiping System and Formatting System using make_ext4fs. All of this in this order are successful. But the last operation "Restoring Data" failes with the following error message:
extractTarFork() process ended with error 255

So I searched on xda and found out, that this could be ANYTHING. I tried five or six different methods in order to fix it. In the end I am not sure what really fixxed it, but now I can restore my old update without any error. The phone now runs and I have all my old data.
There are four main differences on my phone to the time before I tried that damn update:
1. I have less internal storage
2. I have no TWRP permanently avaible
3. I can not Factory-Reset
4. I can not use a "UPDATE.APP" inside a "dload" folder on the sdcard
(the last two things always failes)
But as long as the android system now runs smooth again I can live with these things.
Is there maybe anything else I should be careful? maybe a known bug/problem that I have not seen yet?
The reason why I wanted to update in the first place was, that I have problems with my sd-card.
Some Apps do not allow to use the external storage. Easy Voice Recorder is the main problem. But also the Call Recorder has problems with it.
Is this a well known bug? Does a update helps? And if so, how do I update? (Now I know how to rescue my phone, so I could try it again xD )
Or does this problem gets solved with an custom ROM? If so, what good custom ROMs are out there for the honor 5x?
Or is this a problem that is not possible to fix on the honor 5x? Because these apps does not have this problem on my HTC One M9 ...
And thanks again so much for all your help

I must thank you for all your help
So I now read some more articles and tried some things. So there are old problems solved, but also new problems came up:
For me it is no longer possible to flash a recovery that is permanent. I have no idea why but I am ignoring it, because I can start the phone with voldown+power into bootloader and then use a usb-connection to enter the following command:
So i can enter twrp temporary and because I do not need TWRP this often, that is ok for me.

from your current state you can try flash recovery with TWRP by choosing install / image / your version of TWRP / choose recovery / swipe to flash
Now choose reboot / recovery
As for the sdcard try the sdcard fix for kit Kat in the play store. It works for some older apps.

If you mean getting my phone updated to KIW-L21 B140, no I still don't get it !
But I did try with KIW-L24 B151 with the result I already mentioned previously : almost bricked... ^^
But I always managed to get into Bootloader/Fastboot to flash back any kind of recovery...

All the full updates are in the file depot
Use stock recovery plus the full update for your version.
You have to hold volup + voldown + power to start the update
Refresh TWRP / Root and your good to go

So i have this issue too. im so stupid for doing this. I can go into fastboot mode and i flashed stock recovery and when i rebooted into recovery it still said that it was updating the firmware. I flashed twrp after that and it had the same message. am i doing something wrong or is it my phone? I tried rebooting into bootloader using adb but only fastboot will reconize my phone so adb also wont work. could you guys maybe help me?
Edit: Yessss. i got it using the temporary command. Thank you guys all for your help. it was so stupid of me to flash it with twrp still on it. Thank you all very much
