Hi guys
I am on ZV8 Odexed, manually flashed through TWRP over ZV4. Recently I have noticed something strange. I am not able to boot into TWRP recovery manually using hardware buttons. I am not very sure since when this problem has been there as I don't usually boot into recovery manually. The recovery is working fine when I reboot to recovery using some app from within the OS. I have been looking for a solution, but can't find anything. I have tried installing a new TWRP image using flashify, I have also tried restoring the ZV4 backup image, but didn't work. If someone has faced a similar problem / found a solution please share.

Thanks for replying. ...following are the steps I have been following. It used to work earlier. Don't know what went wrong. I recently flashed ZV8...can that be the reason?
Press and hold volume down button
Press and hold power button
Release both buttons when lg logo appears
Press and hold both buttons again
Press and hold power+vol dn together. Keep holding them until the screen says "recovery something".
You have to keep holding longer than just the" LG" logo pops up.
Thanks engine 95...it worked...kinda weird that earlier I had to press it twice...but it's working this way now.

hi all
just wanted to star a discussion about this topic..
anybody know, how's the progress in getting a CWM for MediaPad?
thanks a lot
Backup works, but restoring a backup doesn't restore every setting. So i would say it's a WIP. But maybe segler11 or brainmaster can tell more about it.
Eagerly awaiting for this to be done.
Androod-hilfe.de has a clockwork RECOVERY.

Like I said, it's a WIP and restoring a Backup doesn't work 100% afaik... But if someone wants to try it here, go ahead. I'll upload it.
€dit: Done
Original Thread: here.
WARNING: I'm not responsible for any damage on your devices. This has only been tested on a european Huawei Mediapad and is based on the 2nd Preview of ICS
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryxxxx.img
fastboot flash recovery2 recoveryxxxx.img
Important: If you want to restore a backup use
Code:
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
first !
After a "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition" the first boot could take at least 10 minutes.
If you want to flash AddOns like GApps.zip no wipe is needed
After restoring a Backup, ALL apps are restored but not all app-settings.
Remember: It's a BETA-Release !

Just a helpful hint: Titanium Backup can now restore app data directly from nandroid backups. So if the biggest issue right now is failure to restore app data, in a pinch Titanium can fill in the blanks.

Recovery flashed successfully but when I perform a backup, it says that the backup path can't be mounted. This is on a Springboard running ICS Beta 2.
Bump. Any further progress?
So it has been quite some time since I have heard anything about CWM for our device. Does anybody have an update? What the heck ever happened with the folks working on it over in Germany?

Last time I tried the download at post #7 it worked for the basic. As described by Rumbi it may not restore widgets and some setting.
The downside is that you have to reinstall original "boot.img" and "recovery.img" to be able to update to next version, every time
I think that as things get stabilized on the ICS firmware there will be more work for it !
Question: Is there any recovery.img available that would be equivalent to stock recovery on a Springboard?
In other words... if I upgrade a Springboard to MediaPad ICS... then later revert to 3.2 from a nandroid backup, is there a recovery.img that I can flash so that OTA updates will work again?
Okay I flashed the CWM img successfully in fastboot on my Springboard...
But what I'm confused about is, how do I boot into recovery now? I have tried every combination and I always get either fastboot or regular boot.
Do I have to already have ICS for this recovery to work?
Update: Ok I managed to figure out the trick is to hold the volume down button, press power for 2 seconds until it vibrates, let go of power and continue holding the volume until recovery starts.
The problem is I always get stock recovery, which gives me a FAIL message.
I discovered that on my Springboard I have the May 2012 OTA update already installed, which included the dreaded /system/recovery-from-boot and /etc/install-recovery files. This means any time it boots successfully into the OS, it reinstalls the stock recovery.
So now I have a paradox because I'm still not rooted yet. I can install CWM from fastboot, but there is no way to cleanly power down the tablet. I have been unable to force it from fastboot directly to recovery, because the only way to get it out of there is to hold down the power button which... yup, starts rebooting into the OS. I can hold down power during that reboot cycle, but again it just initiates a reboot and not a power down.
So how do I get into recovery after flashing CWM in fastboot... without letting it boot the OS before I get there?
So far the only idea I have remaining is to flash CWM in fastboot and then just leave it on the fastboot screen, stick it in a box somewhere, and come back in a day or so when the battery has died. Charge it up and then boot it into recovery. A little extreme?
Boot into fastboot normally pressing power and VOL-
When in fastboot press the power button for 10 sec to reboot and then keep pressing the VOL+ button, it'll show the mediapad logo twice and the you will be in the cwm.
Hope it helps.

I tried that. It just booted into the OS.
Also the Springboard firmware has an annoying loud T-Mobile startup chime, so to be considerate with my roommate, the moment I see it booting into the OS I have to wrap it with my duvet in order to muffle the sound
Is it possible this CWM just isn't compatible with the Springboard on Honeycomb?
Just a question... if you want to update to ICS but stock, why don't you use the official rom from Huawei? and If you don't like it you can always flash back a HC rom from Huawei.
Sorry if I didn't get something and this is a stupid suggestion
Huawei doesn't offer any stock ROM files for the Springboard. I would like to install and run CWM from the Springboard while leaving the T-Mobile Honeycomb intact, in order to root it without any other modifications.

UPDATE: I did not notice at first that I had to flash both recovery *and* recovery2.
Even after noticing this, I was unable to leap from fastboot straight into recovery. However, I left it in fastboot this morning after flashing, to drain the battery. Then I got home and plugged it in to charge for about 5 minutes. I unplugged it, used the recovery key combo, and FINALLY made it into CWM! I used an SD adapter to copy su.zip onto the microSD, plugged in, remounted /sdcard and installed that zip. I have plugged it back in to charge, and I am doing a nandroid backup of stock rooted.
First thing I will have to do once booted is install Root Explorer and rename the offending files that keep replacing CWM. Then I'll be off to the races.
EDIT: The backup stalled during the system partition. Don't know why. Maybe something different about the layout of Springboard vs. MediaPad.
Also, adb in recovery does not work (unless there is a driver I am missing? but ADB works for me booted into the OS). That's unfortunate - this is an incredibly useful feature of CWM that should get fixed up ASAP.
I also noticed that a 10 second press of the power button actually shuts it down from CWM, as opposed to the reboot I get from fastboot or anywhere else in the OS.
EDIT again: Oh crap crap crap. Now it just bootloops when I try to start it up! This does not bode well. All I did was install a superuser zip, and attempt a nandroid backup.
FINAL edit once more again: Okay well now I'm back to square minus one. I wiped userdata and it still bootlooped. So then I tried flashing the system img from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1550694
No more bootloop. It's booted up. The firmware is now an older one than what I received it with. Oddly when I did "fastboot erase userdata" from fastboot it did NOT actually wipe anything! It still remembers my desktop, wifi passwords, installed apps etc.
On the bright side - the dreaded recovery-reinstalling files are not in this system.img.
Hello guys so I accidentally and idiotically installed the verizon update. Meant to press later accidentally hit now not thinking, and all my phone does now is boot up to twrp. I have it rooted stock rom with G3 tweakbox and twrp recovery. I have tried to wipe, and restore with no luck. Also tried safemode no luck. Phone only boots into recovery and I'm hoping for a quick fix. Also cannot get it into download mode.
Anything help wise would be great kind of in a panic situation now!
Thanks!

did you try flashing a stock based rom?
not a restore.
Have you tried downloading a stock rom (bumped) and flashing that in TWRP?
If you can boot to TWRP you might not be able to resore but you might be able to install a stock rom, the restore apps from a nanadroid if you have it.
Don't worry. Same thing happened to me last week. There are instructions on here that show you how to type a few add line from TWRP and your phone will boot and you won't lose anything on your phone.
Just Google search LG g3 stuck TWRP.

Hello,
I got a little problem with my lg g5.. I've unrooted my phone for a couple weeks ago to try and update to the latests version of android but I'm stuck at the part of updating.
Currently my phone is running android version 6.0.1 but I've seen that there is a newer version and I would love to install it on my phone but the notification that is popping up every day is nog working.
Hope somebody can help me.. Im really bad at this kinda things.
Do you have TWRP installed as a custom recovery? If so I understand your need to flash the default recovery img or updating from the phone will fail on reboot.
Check our autoprime's all in one guide that might help you troubleshoot and restore your phone to MM or N

Is there a way to check what custom recovery I've installed? It's been a while since I rooted my phone..
Turn off the phone or remove the battery. Then, hold down the volume down button and then the power button. Keep them both held till you see the LG logo, then release the power button and briefly press and hold the power button again. If successful you should see a white, factory restore menu. Use the volume keys to navigate and the power button to select yes on both the two screens. NB if you do not have a custom recovery this will factory restore your phone-so make a backup. If you do have a custom recovery, it should boot up e.g TWRP
From here you can flash the default boot loader img and then update ota

When I restart my phone and use those keys my phone is booting into the white screen where I can go into factory restore.. Do I need to install a custom recovery first?
Once in the white screen, to see if you do have a custom recovery installed, you need to select yes on both screens to enter the custom recovery. As I said before, if you do not have a custom recovery (such as TWRP) you will factory reset your phone and lose all settings so make backups first.
Before all that though, how did you root and into it your phone- that will give me an idea as to if you have a custom recovery installed

I've been using the bootloader unlock from this link
So you most likely flashed TWRP if you followed the instructions verbatim. How did in root?

Flashed the SuperSU with TWRP, it's down below at the tutorial page.
Now I only need to know what I need for the stock recovery and how I can update my phone
For the stock recovery, I have 6.01 10E stock recovery here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3j5Gs11w3EqVzNwa0h3b2tVWmc/view?usp=drivesdk
Hopefully that should work. If not, you can extract the recovery image from the full zips on autoprime's all in one LG g5 post.
Good luck
Hope I will get it working xD Thanks for your help!

You might have done what I did which is flash twrp.img in recovery.. it won't go back to initial password screen. I did that and had the same issues.. I recently did it.. now it only restores backups which is how I got lineage or other rooms back.. after wiping the system partition, it also only flashes stock debloated room, but anything else I flash crash system partition.. I'm going to start over but with treble recovery in root process and just avoid messing with it..

Did you not have a backup of your rom using twrp before you made the change? Isn't that the whole point of having twrp and a phone with SD card? Always backup your whole phone before making a change. It has saved my phone many times.

Yes I had a back up but it was twrp acting up by not being able to boot.
My phone was just booting back to twrp even when pressing power off some how by finally powering off the device (letting it discharge all the way) that was the only thing that fix it me twrp started working fine after that
My twrp has been acting funny/unpredictable. Or I am not doing something right. Mostly has to do with the restore function. I generally have two separate roms backed up in restore. But, lately, I will see only one listed. When I get back to the phone and check in my root manager, I will see them both listed. And then later, it (Rom) "might or might not" return to the restore function area.
But, lately it seems that when I restore the system, I can not open it up in the lock screen (does not recognize the pin). I have to turn the phone off, then use the vol down and power button to get back into twrp. Luckily, I have a couple of roms downloaded in the install section which then does let me flash and reboot, but I have to start new/over.
I don't know if reflashing twrp in recovery will help or not (have never done it).
I'm afraid one of these times I will some how get locked out or not be able to flash a good rom.

when it doesnt recognize your pin, go (in twrp file manager) to /data/system/ and delete the locksettings.db(-sh/-wal) files...
I think that was the path, you can google that too ^^
Thx, SGCMarkus, I did delete just the one db only file. It did away with the pin unlock code on reboot (but I did not do a restore, just a reboot back into my system), so I assume it will work. I will try it when I have time. I think that deletion has to be done everytime in twrp, because the line does reappear the next time I booted back into twrp?
Thx.
Hi all, not sure what's changed, but I used to be able to open the Magisk app, and select "reboot to recovery" for when I want to create a nandroid image backup in TWRP. Now it just boot loops, unless I press the power and volume down/up buttons to manually get into twrp. I really don't like using the buttons, it's very confusing to me and 90% of the time I get the procedure to go into recovery wrong. Hence why I was using the option in Magisk, to boot directly to recovery. I'm obviously rooted, and TWRP is obviously installed, but I'm missing a step somewhere I guess. Appreciate any insight.

Hi and thanks for the suggestion. I already had a similar app installed, that also had root access and provided the same boot options, but just like using the boot to recovery option in Magisk, it doesn't work. The tablet just starts boot looping till I manually go into recovery via the buttons. It's almost like when I rooted my tablet, something along the way didn't get flashed right, or I'm just missing a step somewhere. It's odd, cause TWRP is definitely installed.
Anyone?
