Hello,
Anyway, I managed to format my phone, how can I restore my phone? I do have CWM installed, but I'm pretty sure that there is nothing we can do now? I can boot into CWM if I want, but there ain't much I can do. Would it work if someone would zip up their entire internal storage in CWM and send it to me, so I could restore my phone? Does it work this way? Anyway, any help is appreciated, otherwise I'll have to order a new phone probably. Oh also, I have stock KDZ file, is there a possible way I could install a stock ROM in CWM mode somehow?
Thanks!
Use this list to find the correct stock kdz for your phone according to the region(Ctrl+F -> type E460 -> search).
Then use the instructions in this thread to flash the stock kdz.
YOU WILL LOSE CWM RECOVERY! But since you want to revert back to stock, this shouldn't be a problem for you.

Can I reinstall original recovery on LG Optimus P500? I didn't make backup, only nandroid backup with custom recovery
Sorry for my english, my native language is spanish
Theoretically it's possible to reinstall via adb or the terminal, but flashing recoveries is dangerous. Most people just advise you to reinstall via KDZ Updater, which installs everything to stock.
Why do you want the original recovery anyway? It just restores factory originals and stuff It's not really that useful, unless you're taking your phone to a service center.
I'm taking my phone to a service center. I can't fin the KDZ for my carrier (movistar - telefonica, Chile).
When I install the custom recovery the cellphone lose the warranty?
I don't know how to undo the installation of the custom recovery via the terminal or adb since I lost the old one.

Most likely. There's a list of original firmware downloads on the Development forum. Check there, but be extremely careful.
EDIT: Wasn't in the list. Try doing the stuff here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865479
I have a cwm backup of my stock rom from the day I got my device. Obviously, I had to install cwm to make the backup.
How can I get back the stock recovery? I did some searching on the dev forum, but didn't find anything. Is there an odin flashable file somewhere?
I want my device to be completely stock. Triangle-away (to reset the counter in download mode) is not working yet, but hopefully it will soon
I apologize if I'm missing something obvious here. Thanks!
I am trying to restore the original state with 4.1.1 firmware. Downloaded I9300XXDLJ4_I9300OXADLJ4_I9300XXDLID_BTU.zip, unpacked, the installation goes without problems (Odin 3.07, Auto Reboot + F.Reset Time). And then... I am getting the unrooted phone with the same settings and apps I had before. How is that possible? Some of those apps need update (looks like some old version is "recovered"). I suspect that might have happened because some while ago I used Titanium Backup to create update.zip and "flashed" that update.zip using bootloader. But how can I make the phone "forget" about that? How can I get the "clean" factory-state phone, without those apps/settings? And, what is also annoying, straight after Odin3, the Device State is Modified (without even rooting it!). What can I do about it?
Any ideas are welcome. Thank you!
Because when u going to flash your firmware through Odin before that u have to do a wipe data factory reset from cwm / stock recovery.
In your case u just flashed new firmware over your old one without any wipe.
Hope u understand this.
Thank you very much! I am unbelievably stupid.
Hi everyone. First time posting on the forums and unfortunately it's because of a major problem . So here's my situation:
A couple days ago I decided i would try to update my phone to 5.0 because the update was pushed OTA for the ls990. It supposedly installed with no error, but when it went to reboot it took me straight into my custom recovery. Now when i try to restore from backup, flash a new rom, or wipe the system it will say it was successful, but nothing will change and each time i reboot it takes me right back into recovery. I've tried booting into system or bootloader, but both of those options take me right back into recovery. If i pull the battery and wait then repower the phone it takes me right back into recovery. I need some help here because my phone is practically bricked, yet i still have access to ONLY recovery mode. During each reboot the LG logo does flash on the screen (not sure if that info is useful though). Here's what i'm running:
Specs:
Rooted and Bumped Sprint LG G3 (ls990)
Stock ROM
TWRP Recovery
Maybe this happened because it was a stock update and i didn't have stock android recovery for it to complete the upgrade? My /boot folder appears to be empty in TWRP, but im not sure if that's just because its not even mounting it or if im actually missing a kernel, bootloader, or something else. ANY help or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Your gonna have to restore using this guide. It did happen because you were on custom recovery, anytime you want stock upgrade, you must unroot it and put stock recovery back on 1st. It's not bricked if it comes on, only softbricked, which can be fixed with download mode. That guide is well written.

also it was not the android 5.0 update..
Try this first before using the LG Flash tool

It should hopefully save you from wiping the phone completely.
Thanks

I reverted to stock firmware using the instructions on that thread and now everything is working! Thank you very much.
Now the only problem is that it seems the new sprint update patched the stump root exploit. Guess ill have to do the firmware flash again lol.

I think you need zv4 firmware to avoid this problem.

Thank you very much, It works like a chime
I have this problem in yunique i only instaled twrp and it is rebooted into recovery menu but i can't restart my phone it is always going to recovery menu when trying to restart
Select reboot --> Boot to bootloader
When in fastboot
type
fastboot devices
then type
fastboot continue
This will fix the twrp loop issue.
Okay I have the LG G3 running stock ROM, Rooted, TWRP 2.8.7.0 custom recovery, & Xposed 3.0 alpha 4 installed.
Like a lot of people I'm getting the black screen on about 90% of reboots, & it won't reboot into recovery using TWRP, I have to boot into recovery the LG way and select wipe cache for it to boot into TWRP.
But every single time that I restart or Reboot, I get a message saying that Apps are updating / optimizing and I lose some of my settings like ringtone, bluetooth paired settings, and misc. others.
Anyone have any idea whats causing this or how to fix it?
I'm not a total noob, but I haven't played around much with LG phones.
Thanks in advance!
p.s. I searched for similar issues before posting.
The only suggestion I have about fixing it is to flash back to completely stock unrooted using the 10B KDZ with LG Flash Tool 2014 in CSE mode, re-root using the Stump app, use TWRP Manager to put TWRP back on, and then start from scratch flashing a stock based ROM and restoring your apps.
You can use the built in LG Backup to back up and restore your apps. Make sure and move anything you want to keep to your MicroSD card since internal storage will be wiped when you flash the 12B KDZ in CSE mode.

Thank you sir, I'm not familiar with CSE mode you mentioned, I'll try to do some reading and get all the details of the modes, files and tools required.

You're welcome! When you run LG Flash Tool 2014 before it flashes the KDZ file you specify, you get a choice between "Normal" and "CSE". "CSE" is what you want to choose there, but it will wipe your internal storage so be aware. The return to stock thread in General should give you most of what you need.
