Hello XDA
I'm releasing recoverys since I'm not able to port Cyanogenmod on our phone even if we have all opensource released by LG,
just for the lack of the knowledge, I'm pretty begginer. Hopefully some kind people see this and feel sad about our orphan child L5II and port us CM
This is the second recovery I release for our devices, this seems to be the best in my opinion.
I take no credits for this as I only built it for our device.
So yeah the beautyful PhilZ Touch Recovery is now avaible for our L5IIs.
This is the PhilZ Touch Recovery 6.57.9 Andvanced Edition with CWM v6.0.5.1
We're going to use the same way as for previous recoverys to flash it.
PRE-REQUISITES
1. Root Permissions on your LG L5II
2. Unlocked bootlader
3. Terminal Emulator (can be downloaded from Play Store)
NOTE: I tested this only on E460, I hope this works also on other L5IIs but I'm not sure.
I DO NOT ASSUME ANY RESPONSABILITY FOR BRICKED DEVICES OR ANY OTHER DAMAGE
DURING THIS PROCEDURE, DO THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK.
DOWNLOAD:
(If someone wants to provide any mirror will be appreciated)
http://uppit.com/pbjhcmfju47z/recovery.rar
1. Extract the downloaded file.
MD5 sum:
Code:
[COLOR="red"]BD8BDDD56E50100795F437E7449A20F5[/COLOR]
2.Then place it in your SDcard and open your terminal emulator
and type the following text:
Code:
su
dd if=/mnt/sdcard2/recovery.img of=/dev/recovery
3. When you have successfuly executed the previous commands in terminal emulator reboot in recovery mode to test it
Type this in terminal emulator
Code:
su
reboot recovery
Or switch off your phone and hold VOLUME DOWN + QUICKBUTTON + POWER BUTTON until LG logo shows and then release, it will boot into recovery mode in few seconds.
I really hope it worked for you and you can now enjoy your beautyful recovery.
Let me know about bugs and on which models it works!
Thank you for your attention!
IMPORTANT NOTES:
-As this is based on stock recovery source it seems that LG left us a bug. It won't mount\format sdcard0(internal sdcard). So I've found out that this isn't the fault of revovery in itself but recovery.img containing a bug left by manufactor. So my objective now is to solve it, I can't actually say when it will get fixed, I don't have much time to work on it because of my real life issues.
link is not working
It's working, I just checked it now.
In these days I'll provide some mirrors so there won't be problems.
I can confirm it is working on my e450
it doesn't mount internal storage. not sure if this is because mine is a e450 or if it is the recovery. havent tried flashing any zips yet but will let you know how it goes.
If you send me your stock recovery.img I may build it for e450 and we'll see if that will resolve the issue.

I will do it today if I have time, if not tomorrow for sure. I'm not a legend, You are a legend because of all development you have done so far this lovely device
EDIT: It seems to be the recovery's in itself issue, I"m encountering this issue even on my E460. I'm trying to figure out what causes it and hopefully resolve.
Just flash slimsystem with no issue s
aroma installer works and it writes to the system partition properly.
very nice recovery

Since we have unlocked bootloader and custom recovery, is it possible to custom roms will arrive? Maybe CM or SlimRoms?

I haven't tried it. But I think it should work. I can't try it out because I do not have much free space. (Usually CWM backups are minimum 1 GB)
has anyone done a backup yet? or is there still something missing??

Full backup is working too, it takes a lot of space if you don't set compression level to high in advanced options. It also may depend on data that you have in your internal sdcard as it backs up that too.
The full backup minimum size for me was 4.9 GB with default compression level(default is set to none).
Instead with maximun compression level(tar+gz enabled, and compression level set to high) the minimum size was less that 2.5GB.
Please note that sizes may be different, it all depens on you. I'd suggest you to do what slipsystem said here. So do a Custom Backup and select following:
Boot(x)
Recocery(x)
System(x)
By doing this way your personal data on internal memory won't be included into backup. This way also the backup max size wont be higher than 1GB(it depends on what did you put system resources, normally its slightly higher than 800MB).
how to check if bootloader is locked or not?
Flash recovery if you get secure boot when trying to enter recovery then the bootloader is locked.
Can you give a mirror? The link dosn't work for me :/
The link also not worked or me please provide a mirror

Hi,
a few weeks ago I got a Samsung X Cover 2 after my loved Defy boke down...Thanks to the rooted image that theboegl created I examined the device and started to port CWM to the device. Some photos of CWM on the S7710 are here. Sorry - cant post outside links before I did 10 posts....attached.:silly: Thanks to OliverG96 who worked on CM for the S3 mini that is quite similiar to the skomer it wasn't a hard job to get it running.
The source is on my github account. (no link - see above - just google: github flxo). Feel free to comment and improve....
Code:
sudo heimdall flash --pit skomer.pit --Kernel2 recovery.img

Thanks for your work!
For those who want to try this beta-build:
download the newest odin-flashable build from here - thanks to @flxo
start Odin >= 3.07
select the downloaded CMW in the PDA section
unselect autoreboot if you would like to test it after flashing immediately
plug your XCover2 in
flash it
let it reboot/if you want to test cwm now:
power off by holding the power button
hold Volume +, Home and Power button simultaneous
you should see cwm
done
BTW: no one should just follow me by doing a reboot recovery, though I have created an odin-flashable restore - build 12.07.2013 for getting out of the "boot to recovery" loop without loosing data.

I did not try yet to flash a zip with the CWM port but so far the graphics look good and the SD is mounted. I attached the recovery image to this post:
Hang on.

Tried flashing, works like a charm. Just hold volume up, home and power, let go of power when you feel vibration and keep hold volume up and home button and you're in cwm! Gonna try port first custom rom, cm10 from s2 and see if it truly works
Hello,
I have just tested : very good ! very good !
Thanks a lot.

I changed the recovery.fstab to mount the external SD on /sdcard. Storing backups on the real SD is IMHO more convenient.
The updated image is: 20130606_recovery.img

Thats great. For everyone who want to flash this with odin try this image - it is the packed version of @flxo.
I have reupped the previous recoveries because they were unflashable with odin.
I really apologize for that mistake my Finnish, Slovenian and Bulgarian members if Odin is stuck, just unplug your phone and select the new image, plug it in again and flash.
This double post is to inform the few of you who have downloaded the file already.
I created an Odin flashable .tar.md5 of the 20130606_1_ version. I tried it myself, works fine.
One nitpicky question: flxo, shouldn't it be 20130706? It's July after all

20130606_1_ fixed that for me, the device froze for half a minute and then rebooted into recovery.
EDIT:
Bad news: Somehow, the phone exclusively reboots into recovery now. I don't know if it's due to choosing "reboot recovery" or something else...

I couldn't read it either so I used Google Chrome and had Chrome translate it for me. Basically the recovery is an apk and there is a chinese rom. I have tried the recovery but I have NOT tried rom yet and not sure if I want too as everything will most likely be in chinese.
The recovery Failed to restore the backup it made. It gave the following error
E:format_volume failed to unmount "/system"
Error while formatting /system!

Not installing anything on my phone that is not at least blessed by the devs here.
It's a site where I can't read the language and the app does things that I have no clue about.
Risk it if you want, but if you end up with a dead device or spyware; don't say I didn't warn you.
it's Chinese rom . I have already flash the rom and worked well
I'm guessing this is probably the same thing as the Chinese recovery that was "discovered" a couple weeks after the phone was released, just being rediscovered. Even if it's something different, if it's an .APK it's more than likely a flash tool rather than a recovery, seeing how the bootloader hasn't been unlocked and all. Also pretty sure it was a Chinese user who posted the other "recovery" and said it worked well for all functions. I dunno about anyone else, but seeing how I'm on Verizon (in the USA) and speak English, I have no use for a "Chinese ROM." Hopefully this goes without saying, but as tech_head said if you try flashing this "ROM" don't expect to have a working G3 when you're done. :silly:

may be U r right. I just post it here to see if someone can fix the problem.and the'' rom '' also have English language.. whatever I am not the guy who make this..
Hurray
This Rom works 100%! I'm on it right now after switching the language from Chinese back to English it is like a daily driver. We should get a dev to see this! Plus I translated the forum through Google chrome and it is a development forum for the vs985. EDIT: No Data and Random reboots only known issues.
hmmm. ill be looking into this later
I've been using this Chinese CWM bootstrap APK for the longest.... well really only a month because that's how long I've had my G3... I've used this in combination with the kitkat deodexer tool to create a deodexed stock rom which works perfectly.... This CWM is also useful in flashing general mods like the pure audio mod for instance also perfectly flashes (adds a nice volume boost as well).. HOWEVER, people are right to be sketchy about it. For one thing, I don't think this installs any spyware on your phone like some have suggested, but it's by no means a full proof recovery either... yes system backups work, but don't dare try to restore it by any means or you'll get an error after it wipes your system to begin restore, and then you'll have to flash back to stock. Also don't do anything stupid like try and flash TMobile roms to your Verizon G3, because even though it will allow you to flash it and say it completed successfully, you will be overwriting your kernel with an insecure kernel and you will not be able to boot your device up at all.... also if you do something this stupid, you will also block yourself from being able to flash back to stock because your phone will think it's a D851 and not a VS985... Finally, I'd also avoid flashing this Chinese rom... yeah it worked and booted for me, but I had no 4g... I'm sure that if you back up your apn settings beforehand, you'll be fine, but still I'd just avoid it. So long story short, use this recovery, but don't expect miracles from it. Devs should really look into decompiling this bootstrap apk and fixing the mount points, and then we'd have a full functioning tethered CWM.

Install of your zip is working great except I'm missing the LG Keyboard.
Just got an update on my watch and, as always, pulled the update.zip for you guys!
If you're having troubles installing this ZIP please refer to this post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67403296&postcount=19
----------
Quick Install "Guide" if it's still failing for you:
1) Install TWRP from THIS THREAD HERE
2) Reboot into fastboot mode by turning the watch off and on again and while the black screen shows up constantly swipe from the left upper corner to the lower right corner.
3) Flash the TWRP provided above and reboot into recovery, then push the unpacked TWRP backup into "/sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/xxxxxxxxxxx/" (to get the last folder simply make a backup of only your boot partition first, it's the fastest)
4) Restore the backup provided IN THIS POST HERE onto your watch via the in 1 flashed TWRP
1) MUCH EASIER: Flash these instead the TWRP way, far far easier!
2) Let the OTA update install automatically

I've got TWRP 3.0.?? on the watch and it refuses to flash, error is
Code:
Unable to statfs '/system/.'.
I've flashed the stock recovery in LG G Watch tools. It went fine, so I've proceeded to install the update the standard way. It seemed to be fine, but than it stopped, with the "Dead Android" image. After using the reset button the built in recovery is dead, but the watch boots. Any ideas?
EDIT: TWRP won't mount /system for some reason, you tap the checkbox and nothing happens. Not even as RO.

yeah it can't write to it, you have to use the stock recovery for that. You are able to write to it but you must first format the partition as writable and then flash your system image/ backup.

Nope I found it thank god. I had kept a backup of the awful stock kernel just in case when I was initially testing invisiblek's kernel. Luckily its still there in all its awful glory and I will share it here as when you boot up with the stock kernel the system auto flashes the stock recovery because thats how stock is for everything

Btw. I tried going back to stock yesterday (without locking the bootloader tho) but I may have used a wrong or too old stock recovery version.
Also the only reason why the OTA is reporting an issue while flashing the package with the squashfs enabled TWRP is because the script gets a string back that's not identical with the one it expects. Maybe someone could "hack out" that check and make it TWRP flashable.

No the problem is the TWRP was built on an old base of the LG G watch specifically the last 5.1.1 update so the zip thinks the whole system is still on 5.1.1 as TWRP is still on that. I don't think the 6.0.1 source has been released yet so I don't think a recovery could be built with a 6.0.1 base of the lg g watch.

That's exactly what I mean with the check and the "wrong" string it gets back I have no clue on how to disable this check inside the ZIP-script tho.

I actually think there are more than 1 cores activate at a time now, the watch has gotten pretty fast with the latest updates and so on, I don't even feel the need for a custom kernel anymore since that.

Nope after about 1 minute after boot the phone locks to 787mhz with userspace governor and I can confirm there is no CPU hotplug aswell. I don't know how you survive with the abysmal lag but ok cool. During the first minute of boot for whatever reason it uses 2 cores and ondemand, would rather have that always lol.

Tried, didn't work. My guess is that it didn't handle squash FS. I was left with dead Android guy on the screen
For everyone to enjoy HERE is the stock kernel, @EpicLPer add this to the op to save everyone some trouble. NOTE: you have to boot to system once before the stock recovery is restored. Also it is a twrp backup so you have to adb push it to /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/ to use it. If someone could just get the boot.img raw that would be great, I was too lazy to do it lel.

Actually... mine's running pretty well, no lag, no freezing animations, apps take 1 second to open and scrolling is smooth too.
Either I have some leftovers of an old kernel (which I don't think, or, hope) or I'm having a magic LG Watch

Ok Thanks. I am in and generating a backup. The touch screen was working for me mostly. It won't let me select Micro SDCard to save my backup.
Yeah like I said it need some repair I am pretty sure the mount points aren't perfect and I didn't compile it I had to use an otg and mouse to navigate

What I did to navigate was I had to push the power button then it would bring the screen up where you can swipe the bottom to unlock the screen and use touchscreen. Navigating the storage was odd because it shows it is stuck on Internal storage, but If i click on SDCard, it will take me to that directory. I hope there is a nice update to this is the near future, so we don't have to access it through "adb reboot recovery"
You can flash it if you like I just don't trust this copy yet waiting for an update before I flash it
You can use" fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" to flash rather than "fastboot boot twrp.img " to boot it

Oh man you were so right. I had it flashed and it caused me all kinds of problems, like booting the screen upside down etc. I was finally able to find the recovery.img in another thread and get back the stock recovery. I think I will also wait until there is a more stable TWRP version.
I always use boot to test and I always backup my recovery before flashing because I had that happen to me before
Any idea on when a decent working custom recovery will be available?

Just visit this page and you will get TWRP for Z016D. It's a Taiwan website with Chinese but you can see the blue link marked as "TWRP" and there you are.

The 20170218 recovery works perfectly with my phone (6/64gb, 820). The first one posted in the OP worked, but was a bit glitchy. The updated one has working SD reading and touchscreen works without having to lock it first.
Could someone please tell me why twrp is booting upside down on my device, and how do I fix it? I just tried to run it in fastboot boot twrp-3.0.3-0-Z016D-20170218.img and once again it loads upside down, however the touch screen is where it normally is suppose to be, which makes it very difficult to navigate the menus. It is very frustrating. This has happened to me multiple times this week. I can't seem to get it to boot/load properly.

I really don't want to wipe everything and start all over from scratch because everything else is working great right now. I guess if there is no easy solution, then I will just leave it alone. I ran it with fastboot and then made a backup and saved it on my microSD card. But I am worried if I wipe everything and start all over again, then I will have to call my bank again to verify my cards for Android pay. I am running the stock firmware version 1698, with stock recovery, an unlocked bootloader, & rooted. Also have Magisk & Titanium Pro installed, and I verified that Andoid pay works for me. (I already bought something using Android pay).

I flashed Magisk v11.1 with TWRP, then installed Magisk Manager from the Google Play Store, after I rebooted my device. I did that by booting in to TWRP with fastboot to flash the .zip file. I did not flash TWRP to install Magisk.
Hi, I know there are some TWRP images shared in this subforum but we felt like releasing our own, so that it remains updated and we have control over the source.
This is TWRP 3.1.1-1, nothing you haven't heard about, regular TWRP. The special part of it is that it supports data decryption.
What do I have to do for data decryption to work?
Just remove the screen lock (pin, password, pattern...) and it should be decrypted automatically, don't forget about this!
Whenever you've finished, you can set your password again, but it should be removed every time you want to decrypt data in TWRP.
You can download it here (provisional, I'll find a better way)
Have fun!
Just awesome
So, Can we take full Nand backups from TWRP now?
Hi, I l already have a twrp installed but I couldn't take the full backup as I got some error as reported by a lot of other users. So, If I flash this recovery, will I be able to take full backups?? Can I flash this TWRP using my already installed TWRP or do you recommend command line? Appreciate your work and thanks in advance.
I guess you can flash it from anywhere you want, backups should also work fine.

Not working data still encrypted cant flash anything system always remains busy
I tried to make a backup partition BOOT and DATE. Everything turned out well after I restored it perfectly, but I confirm there is an error "the system partition can not be unmounted" system busy
Dear Developer @XePeleato
Tried on BND-AL10 with following findings.
1. Several times Backup Error
2.Failed to Unmount system
3.Failed to write backup on Internal Memory (i think decrypt failed)
4.Does not memorise the setting eg. enable compression, skip md5, also everytime asks to modify or keep system read only prompt.
after getting error during backup 5-6 times, this twrp managed to create a full backup. however i did not try restoring backup because i dont know unbrick methods, also stock rom has not released yet.
Can anyone conferms if restore works perfectly or not?

Yes, but I did this only with the BOOT, DATA sections. After the restore, everything worked exactly the same, except that the authorization of Google was deleted. With the SYSTEM section it does not work as "SYSTEM BUSY". However, you can backup / restore the SYSTEM partition through another TWRP. Here is the confirmation (in Russian, but I think it's understandable) 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?act=findpost&pid=70660590&anchor=Spoil-70660590-1
