Hello everyone,
I have an LG G PRO 2 d838 device. I didnt do any custom work to it except rooting. It is running the stock kitkat 4.4 rom. I have not encountered any issues with the device before.
I was looking into upgrading to lollipop but OTA update is not available for rooted devices. So i was trying to load into stock recovery mode using buttons method but it didnt work. I instslled Quick boot app and used it to boot into recovery but when it was supposed to show recovery menu, an image of a droid laying on its back with chest open and a red triangle with an exclamation mark on it appeared.
I installed rom manager and it says clockword recovery is not available for my device.
I dont know where to go from here. Is there anyway to install recovery mode/bootloader under these circumstances?
Thanks in advance

You can still install recovery. HERE is the link of APK for installing recovery on LG G Pro 2.
Instructions:
1. You must be rooted!
2. Install apk
3. Open it and click Install Recovery and then reboot to recovery!
Here we go, recovery installed, but only one problem. It is only usage for installing ZIP files, not for making backups!
Here is also CWM recovery but it is for lollipop: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...covery-cwm-recovery-lollipop-booyaah-t3035831
Thank you. I'll try these solutions.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this anyway?

Rooted the phone, installed ROM Manger, installed CWM from RM, selected version for Samsung Galaxy 2 AT&T.
Backed up the ROM
Went back into CWM to do a manual check and now CWM does nothing. I can navigate through itand select tasks, but that just talkes me to a screen wth the tophat logo.
Remove battery and phone boots into CWM with the same problems.
This has just got to be in the FAQ.
ROM Manager is not compatible with the SII at this point.
If you can still get into download mode and/or recovery, you are fine.

It goes into recovery mode; I get the CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.3 menu
I can navigate in the menu and select any choice.
Nothing happens.
You can install the CWM recory with odin.
Thank you so much for uploading this update
I am sure you didn't try this update before posting here..Q&A...
my phone is bricked while flashing your CWM 7 (2.3.7).
if someone wants to stand behind next to me then [ FLASH IT ]..
Otherwise IGNORE this thread I repeat IGNORE this thread..
Huuummm.. not good..
I finally got CWM to respond and it rebooted the phone properly. ROM Manger has been removed.
That was an exciting couple of hours...
Rom manager is.compatible but you need to use a compatible kernel. Clockwork kernel for an example

The easiest way is to use the update.zip boot into stock recovery and keep hitting reinstall packages I normally have to do it three or four times. Make sure you have a new ROM to flash so that when it goes into clockwork finally you can flash it and keep root. If you don't flash a new ROM it will automatically take you to stock recovery every time you try to reeboot recovery

Question is which ROM are you using
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app
how do I check this ? I have downloaded the zip from the link which I have added in previous post its based on 4.1.
Go to settings>about phone.
BTW, you are running an old, no longer supported version of miui.
Also I wouldn't use ROM manager at all.

Hi just a quick question.I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3 on Sasktel Carrier (Canadian), model mumber: SGH-I747M and i cannot boot CWM Recovery. I have deleted the two /system/ files that some advised to do and i know i am rooted because i have SuperRoot but I still cannot boot it. So im wondering how i could boot CWM Recovery (Keep in mind im a pretty new to this stuff). Is it possible to root my phone more than once without bricking my phone?
i followed this video to root my phone and i was wondering if i could go through the steps again and try to reach the CWM recovery mode that way or would that brick my phone?

Any help is appreciated, thank you!
You have to flash the recovery to boot into it

If I were to follow the instructions from your link could it brick my phone? I've already rooted my phone. Or is this just putting the recovery into my phone? Thanks for the help!

If you follow the procedure in the guide there is minimal risk of bricking your phone, and fortunately in the unlikely event something does go wrong most of the time you can use Odin to fix any mistakes. This procedure will just flash Clockworkmod Recovery and will not effect root access on your phone.

or just download Rom Manager from the play store and flash recovery that way.
1. Open Rom Manager and tap on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery option in the app.
2. You’ll be asked to select your device, select your device name.
3. As soon as you select the model, it should begin installing the recovery.
4. When it has done installing the recovery, you will get a message for the same on your screen.
*NOTE: I do not recommend Rom Manager as a tool to do anything but just install and update ClockworkMod Recovery. Do not flash ROMs from Rom Manager.
I've heard rom manager is a great way to install custom roms. How would you recommend to install custom roms? Through cwm recovery? I cannot install it through rom manager because it says recovery setup instead of flash and when I do try it says i747m isn't supported

The problem with ROM Manger is that on newer devices it can brick your device if you use it to install custom ROMs or try to use it to flash a recovery image even if it is a device that has official Clockworkmod Recovery support. I would recommend either using Clockworkmod Recovery or Team Win Recovery Project to install custom ROMs.
Hi im hoping someone can help me.
I rooted my phone using the easy root method, I had philz dual recovery and flashed a rom. I installed superSU from the play store (when I should have flashed it) and now I can't access my recovery. I've tried rerooting and reflashing using all three methods for installing the recovery and none are working. Does anyone have a solution to this, I've got a backup of my stock rom etc. but I cant access it or recover it without a recovery. Im pretty much lost on this, I posted in the recovery thread but it didnt get answered.

When you flash a rom when using a recovery for locked bootloaders then it deletes the recovery
You have to reinstall your recovery

Thanks for the reply. I've tried doing that but it won't work, I dont know if it has something with Superuser? it says it cant update the binaries. Either way I've tried all 3 options on the process to install the recover (install with SuperSU, Install with SuperUser and install on unrooted rom)

I've tried but I didnt work I have firmware 17.1.1.A.0.402 I dont know if thats the problem. I dont know if im actually rooted, I can grant apps superuser access but i downloaded a rootchecker and it says I'm not. When I try to root using doomlords its fine until the service menu bit, the screen doesnt blink and put me back to the menu it just lets me into the screen I pressed.

heres the link for NUTs download page, http://nut.xperia-files.com/ file your looking for is
Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.7.129-BETA.installer.zip (10.59MB)
this appears to be the latest version and is 17th link from the bottom of the right hand list
the flashable zip is just left of the installer
It should mean if u install a new rom and lose recovery just run the installer from windows and it should give u back recovery

Thanks, unfortunately thats what I have been using to try and regain recovery. Any other ideas? Im really struggling, I thought maybe if I unrooted and just re-rooted correctly it might help but I can't find an FTF file for my network I can only find unbranded which I very much doubt would work.
anyone?
I'm in the exact same position. I flashed monx 438 rom and I don't know what happened, I can't get into recovery either. I'm on unlocked bootloader. I have tried flashing the boot.img from 438 advanced stock kernel but at the command prompt it keeps on saying waiting for device. I have root access.
Same here.
I have a stock .402 ROM, unlocked bootloader and rooted. Have flashed the recovery a few times, and still cant get into it. Even when trying to access recovery via cmd prompt "adb reboot recovery"
I too am in the same boat... I rooted my phone, primarily to add the kitkat sd card fix, which works...
Then I went through the motion of unlocking bootloader, which I assume worked cos it wiped my phone clean. Had to reinstall everything...
Then I went through the motion of installing Cwm recovery. This went through OK. Well according to the command prompt it did.
But still I can't access recovery. I get no flashing LED lights before the Sony logo comes up, and then it just boots into normal phone mode.
I am on UK 3 network if it makes any difference......
I'd really love to be able to access my recovery cos I'm dying to apply the dual speaker and volume hack....
Don't know where to go from here..........
Just to add, I flashed to firmware 402 (uk unbranded) and re-rooted the phone and re-installed cwm recovery, but I get no led lights and no recovery mode. Oh well, just like a number one hit for 'the who', it was never meant to be....lol
sorry to resurrect but I have the same issue. how did you guys get back into recovery
I use a kernel with recovery
Vol up - cwm
Vol down - twrp
Cam key - philz
I can't flash kernol because I can't get into recovery even using the app to force boot
[URGENT HELP]
I was updating apps from playstore. So there was an update for superuser and i updated it as well. After the update superuser asked for some binary file update and had an option for installation through CWM/TWRP Recovery . Since i had it installed i selected that option and the phone botted to recovery and then nothing happened. I was expecting it to auto install. I try to reboot the phone but it boots to recovery everytime. What can i do to solve this? i dont want to flash a ROM because i need to backup contacts first
Next time, choose the "normal" option.
For your problem, reflash CWM through Odin or flash stock recovery.
