[L3 II][APK] Unlock Bootloader & TWRP/Philz Installer - LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II

Hello there, here i share some mods i made to the recovery installer and i posted on a spanish forum but i think it will be better if i keep it here on XDA. Enjoy
What is Recovery and what it does?
Recovery is a way Android Phones boot up, usually used for wipe user data. More often, it's used for "Factory Data Reset" option on settings app. It's being modified by users for have more features.
What is Bootloader and what it does?
Bootloader is a "Boot Manager" which is usually locked by OEM to prevent some unsigned operating system could be installed. Unlocking it is essential for install a system modification (excepting root).
What things can i do with recovery?
You can wipe all your data, the app cache, make a backup of your actual OS, install a ROM/Mod and,in case something goes wrong, restore your system with the backup made previously.
It's easy to do all those stuff? What should i know before doing this?
First: you should have some things on your phone, but take it easy. The only thing you should consider is: "When you unlock the bootloader, you're voiding your warranty". So, it's your choice if you want to continue or not.

About:
TWRP is an open source, community project. TWRP development is done by roughly 4 people at this point. We also have a large support community with many people who are willing to answer questions and help people with their devices either through our IRC channel or on forums like xda-developers.
Team Win was originally formed to work on porting WiMAX to CM7 for the HTC EVO 4G. After our work on the EVO 4G we wanted to work on a project that would work on more devices than just the EVO 4G and we settled on working on a recovery. Today TWRP is the leading custom recovery for Android phones.
A custom recovery is used for installing custom software on your device. This custom software can include smaller modifications like rooting your device or even replacing the firmware of the device with a completely custom “ROM” like OmniROM
You can find the source code for TWRP at github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery/
Features:
Includes MTP on Recovery
Compressions on backups

Thanks to this people to make this work possible:
@Phil3759 - Author of PhilZ Recovery // TeamWin - Authors of TWRP
@vuminhduc_1998 - @Caio99BR - @ensarman and me (a little bit)​

FAQ:
This is like the installer made by @vuminhduc_1998 ?
Is the installer made by Vu Minh Duc, only i just updated with the 2 new recoverys and make it compatible with CM and Stock ROM.
It will work on L3 II Dual? On E431? on E430?
Yeah, this recovery installer works on: E425 (being f,g,h or simply E425), E430, E431 and E435.
How can i Fix the Aroma FM on PhilZ?
You have to download the Aroma File Manager and place it on Internal SD, on the directory clockworkmod/aromafm. Note: The file name should be aromafm.zip.

Change links to AndroidFileHost, except this, good, very good.

cool!!! thanks @ElDainosor!!!

Good job for this @ElDainosor. Thanks. Just one suggestion, if you can add what version of Philz and TWRP it installs. I don't see it anywhere on first post or I am blind.

As you may or may not be aware, I have been working on get CWM Recovery working on the Gen9's and basically make the layout of the Filesystems etc reflect some sort of Android Standard, In SDE mode at least. This is coming along nicely and I should be ready to kick out a Early Beta in the Next Couple of Weeks.
I would like to gather some input on any additional options people who like to see in CWM, Basically CWM Recovery Comes with a standard set of features but they maybe options that you have found useful on Device's you have had in the past etc.
I already plan to make it possible to boot into all modes on the device, that Archos Recovery, Archos Android, SDE Android and SDE CWM Recovery.
So Yeah, Give me Ideas and I'll seen If I can accomadate them
NOTE: Obviously We are just getting started on this and alternative recoveries will come in time, TWRP for example but one thing at a time eh :good:
Okay, Here's a currently "wishlist" of feature I think would be quite useful
Archos Specific Features
Include Stock Repair and Recovery Options
Include Stock Developer Edition Options
Reboot to Stock Recovery Option as a Fail Safe.
Reboot Stock Android
Flash Archos aos update
Upgrade Existing SDE Images to new structure
An the list goes on.....
Print system Properties
Print dmesg
Resize Partitions
Manage FS Image Location ( mainly nice to have on HDD Version I suppose )
Backup to Sparse Image ( I'm sure CWM5 Nandroid did this with ext4 partitions, god knows why they changed to a default choice between tar archives or dup differential blobs, What If I just a single portable file for my data partition backup!! )
Start Fastboot support ( could be useful for flash images rather the 'ffing around with edify scripts and update zips )
Power Off ( Suprisingly not include by default )
Full Touch Support with on screen keyboard and command line
I think those features will do nicely but If anyone has anymore then get involved!
The nandroid backup interests me a lot... its always nice to be able to "return" to when it was working if anything breaks.
Im watching this thread with interest good luck!!
TrOjAn
Maybe an ability to mount the whole system through usb? So one could DD clone the whole memory chip to PC. That could recover some bricks.

Hi There,
I think, You've got your wires crossed None of this is related to letama CWM Recovery./ If you haven't already you may want to have a read of this thread in the development section I won't go into details here because It's all in there!
I well aware of how fastboot works but to supporting the fastboot protovol allows the same workflow when it come to work with the AOSP source as any over device. which is
Build Rom
Flash the Partitions with fastboot
Reboot Into Rom.
???
Profit
When you control both ends of the conversation, We are free to do as we please.
Any news ... are there any files to do some testing?

[APP] Flash Image GUI - Flash Kernels and Recoveries from normal Android mode!

Flash Image GUI allows the flashing of kernels and custom recovery images from normal android mode!
Credits:
birbeck for the usual random java guidance, slushpupie for his previous java guidance, dodgejcr for extreme amounts of testing, and one_love_420 and shift for some great graphics!
testers: JT-, couga6442, happytweak and many others I might have forgot in the furry of three days I built the initial app from scratch.!
Thanks to SDX
Background:
flash_image (bmlwrite) is an extremely useful utility for flashing custom kernels, boot logos (so far ONLY Samsung devices) and recoveries. This binary has made it possible to easily flash all these items and is used almost everywhere behind the scenes (i.e. in custom recoveries, packaged into kernel /sbin, etc).
Description:
This android application, FlashImageGUI, is basically a GUI interface for the linux binary, flash_image provided by google in AOSP for loading custom kernels and recovery images onto the phone.
This app allows the flashing of kernels and custom recovery images in normal android mode!
Current Device Support:
Full Kernel, Logo and Recovery flashing: Samsung Moment, Transform, Intercept and Acclaim - the s3c6410 series of devices
Full Kernel (Anykernel and boot.img) Flashing and Recovery (zip file or image) flashing: Nexus 10, Nexus 4, Nexus 7, Samsung Google Galaxy Nexus (GSM & CDMA), Nexus S/Nexus S 4G, HTC One XL, One S, EVO 4G LTE, EVO 3D CDMA and GSM, Amaze, Vivid/Holiday, EVO 4G, EVO Shift, & LG Optimus
Custom Recovery
Supports both CWM and TWRP!
Future Support:
Will continue to test kernels as they are released to ensure compatibility!
Install Directions:
Install process is the same as any other .apk. Download to computer and adb push or mount sdcard on computer and copy over or download directly to the phone. Use any file manager, adb, connectbot/terminal emulator to install.
My preferred method, maybe a bit technical: ./adb install c:\downloads\FlashImageGUI.apk
Download Locations
Market (99 cents!): Flash Image GUI
Release version (free): Flash Image GUI
Contact:
Any questions, comments, concerns, or issues, please post in this thread or send me an email! Thanks for all the help and support!

Feedback:
Please post any helpful feedback. I'm always looking to improve the application!
Basic Troubleshooting:
Troubleshooting after Rebooting:
First step, when experiencing issues flashing is to RE FLASH the files again. Many times, re flashing again will clear up any issues. If not, see the issues/solutions below.
Issue #1: If the device hangs or reboots while on the splash screen, the kernel (or packaged ramdisk in the kernel) is NOT compatible with your device!!!
Solution for #1: Have to boot into fastboot and load the custom recovery to flash a known good kernel or restore a previously known good nandroid backup. Command: fastboot boot c:\downloads\cwm-recovery.img
Issue #2: If the device hangs or reboots while on the boot animation, the ROM is likely NOT compatible with the kernel!!!
Solution for #2: Have to boot into fastboot and load the custom recovery to flash a known good ROM/kernel combination either from a zip file or restore from a nandroid backup.
Thanks for the update! Use this on my nexus devices.

Introduction:
Team Win Recovery Project 2.6, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.
Key Features:
Touchscreen driven with real buttons and drag-to-scroll
XML-based GUI that allows full customization of the layout – true theming!
Settings are saved to the sdcard and persist through reboots
Ability to choose which partitions to back up and which to restore
Ability to choose to compress backups – now with pigz (multi-core processor support for faster compression times)
Onscreen keyboard
Decryption of /data
Easy selection of internal/external storage
See changelog below for 2.6 features

first time to install this type of recovery from unrooted N3, do i need to be rooted first before I flash this thru Odin? or i can straight away flash this and have my twrp installed rightaway. where to put the tar file, is it still at the PDA? can this also trigger the dreaded KNOX counter?

You do not need to root first. Can flash it straight away. Place it in PDA using odin. And YES definitely will trigger KNOX counter.
This is not the OP's original work and does not belong in the OD section. A member from TeamWin should be posting an official release for the International Note 3 soon.

Download the zip and put it on your internal or external memory.

FAQs
Q. How boot on recovery?
A. With the device turned off, press power and vol- at same time until it vibrates.
Q. Does it works with stock or custom ROMs?
A. At this momment I know that it is fully compatible with stock ROMs (or stock based ROMs) but at this momment is not tested with custom ROMs, so you users have to test it and report.
Installed the TWRP 3.2.3-0 on CarbonROM 6.1 (Android 8.1). So far so good, seems alright to me.

Yeah but the question is if this recovery works for flash custom ROMs, I know that it work perfectly with stock roms, if you can test it and report here, I really apreciate.

Just tried flashing the latest Carbon and it worked for me. Haven't tested flashing stock ROMs myself though
Just tried to install the zip on my Z3 compact.
My phone has full encryption enabled (complete including the sd card).
Your build of TWRP is not able to decrypt the phone.
It always tells me "Password failed, please try again!" even though the given passsword is correct (I can start the system with the same one).
amazing
Installed on OMNI with TWRPapp, flahed Carbon and then RR.
All it was fine and, finally, no "Error 7".
Thank you for this!
I have a question, I have encrypted my device (CarbonRom cr6) and now when I try to access TWRP I draw my security pattern and I get a failed to decrypt message.
The pattern is the one I use on a daily basis to use my device so this is related to TWRP. Any suggestion?
Maybe this twrp has a problem with support encription?
Carbon ROM expects TWRP with ro.build.product or ro.product.device equal z3c (not aries) . Modified original image using this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...because-of-empty-system.3554252/post-85881113
For Lineage (18.1), this (3.3.1) TWRP version is recommended, but it seems to have issues preserving the survival scripts (e.g. of Magisk) over OTAs. Unfortunately, the device isn't supported on twrp.me

[Fix] G8X Quad Dac on GSI Roms

Hi.
For people that are unaware some LG phones have almost and even no custom roms at all, that is the case with the G8x which is a shame for such a great phone,
fortunately something called Generic System Image (GSI) exists, it is a way for to get a custom rom with basic functionality for a wide range of devices.
I love the Quad Dac, it is one of the main features of a flagship LG phone, unfortunately it almost no developer owns an LG phone anymore so nobody is fixing it on GSI roms.
fortunately i found a kinda dirty way to fix it.
there are quite a few steps, so please be careful and pay attention:
1) On a stock (i used a11 iirc) rom Flash crDroid, other roms may or may not work
2) Flash TWRP and reboot to recovery
3) Flash your favorite GSI, i used crDroid 9.1
4) Flash Magisk, Flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt if you dont want your data encrypted
5) on the magisk app flash LG-G8X-hifi-quad-dac-fix-GSI.zip
6) Reboot your device and a new "Quad Dac unavailable" icon should appear on the status bar edit
7) Plug in your headphones, touch it and enjoy!
Bonus* Hold the icon to enter the app and modify some stuff
Bonus 2* DP Should work, idk if Dual Screen works since i dont own one
Bonus 3* AOD also should work.
Just to clarify, i didnt develop neither the app, the files or the scripts, this was based on Fasheng's job,
the files were replaced from Lineage 19.1, i just put everything together so if something doesnt work
i may not be able to fix it.
Also, this may work on other LG devices (like G8, G8S, V50, V50s, etc) if you provide a rom for it.
you can use stock rom as a base but this may not work for you.
Changelog:
1.0.0 - Initial Release
1.0.1 - Removed incorrect steps on the description and readme
Enjoy your music!

how you flash gsi roms, can you send me a noob guide? and files you use (recoverys any other zips?
Hello, thanks for the contribution, I got mine too work on my g8x. I was wondering if you could maybe share the APK as well. Mine only toggles on and off but won't launch the app.

i did it with TWRP, in order for the DAC to work you need to flash crDroid zip for this device as a normal and then you flash your preferred GSI.
There are plenty of guides on the internet for flashing a GSI, i can give you this one but any should work.

Thank you Senpai! (≧▽≦). You are a MAN among men.
