Try this way.
Power off your phone.
Connect your phone to your computer.
Now, on the phone press volume down + power simultaneously. It will boot to the bootloader (fastboot).
Install chinese TWRP (I think it's worked fine).
English language for TWRP:

Put in phone folder TWRP/theme.

Thanks! i fixed it by applying uppdate.app in to dloader and then when i pressed volume down and power and then a text came about installing it. But it seems to be working fine! I dont know anything about these things so my text could be wrong. Thanks for answer!

I downloaded TWRP theme manager and changed it. Thanks!

Help getting recovey back

Hello all, I need some help with my new phone
Phone is an AT&T Optimus G E970
Phone was rooted and unlocked by myself... everything was ok!
After testing some roms, i have now lost the ability to enter recovery mode. After I press up + power button it will go into fastboot, but when y press down twice it will show the android logo with the chest open and a red triangle above... the weird thing is that the phone boots up fine with the last rom I flashed (wifi not working though).
Tried root checker and it said i am rooted. try to enter recovery from rom manager and it does nothing... would appreciate any help i can get from you guys
Bump
Sorry, but i am desperate to have this phone working at its full potential...
Try flashing recovery IMG file using flashify.
It sounds like you're using an older bootloader, which does not display the options.
Vol Up + Power enters Bootloader, not recovery. When you get to the screen with the android, press Vol Down Twice and then Power. This should get you in to Recovery.

That is what i tried doing... please look at the pics i attached... I can get to the bootloader at least. I also tried to re-root but i will need to change from "Charge Only" to "MTP" and the rom that's on the phone now ([ROM][KOT49H] AOSP-GEEB 4.4.2_r1 [Dec-13]) does not have that option. What i want to do at this point is flash the recovery by any means possible so that i can install a stock JB at least. OR some other way of rooting which i think will fix the What would you recommend?
I rly appreciate you looking into this for me

Hi,
dont panic, I went thru exactly the same process right up till the TWRP and wipe. All you need to do is get hold of the stock rooted rom zip from here:
Then copy it onto your sdcard, for which you can connect to the computer using Advanced menu of the TWRP, and load the sdcard, which will connect as USB storage to PC.
Then once file is on sd card, just go back to main TWRP meny and select install option, then select the zip file you just copied.
Let TWRP do its stuff, then do a factory reset / then go into reboot system.
Wish you all the best. Once the ROM has installed, now you can search for the latest TWRP, install it then go on to latest kit kat roms in exactly the same way.

hope he follows up with a thank you.

Hii,
Finally I reached on TWRP. Can I copy the Stock ROM Zip file in Memory Card and then install memory card on phone. And from Install in TWRP I can go the SD Card location and install it from there? Possible ?
Actually there was no battery on phone that is why the phone was not booting up to TWRP mode. Now I'm in TWRP and downloading Stock ROM. Hope it get fixed soon.
Many Thanks and Regards

That file is stock firmware inside the zip is a .tot file that can be renamed to .bin and used with lgnpst to bring the phone back to stock. You would need to be able to get into download mode
again. If you do use the g33k3r file you would need to root again then use Freegee app from play store to unlock bootloader and install recovery.

Now I'm downloading ...
ttp://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lgoptimusg/att/firmware/LGE970AT-00-V10o-ATT-US-SEP-29-2012-0.zip
I guess this is original ATT LG E970 Firmware. I will copy it into my external Memory Card and then will insert into phone. After that using TWRP I'll be going to use this Zip file and after that factory reset. Am I correct ? Do I need to follow different steps ?
Let me know. Moreover do I need to unlock Phone again? When I received it was already in Unlocked State. So installing the above link firmware will lock it again? Or should I proceed with the link I posted earlier, I mean this ..
ttp://downloads.codefi.re/g33k3r/LGE970AT-01-V20j-310-410-MAR-08-2013.zip
And Rename File to .bin instead of .tot and Make ZIP it again ?
Please let me know.
PS ; I'm still Downloading The firmware from Ist link.

make sure to download the first file too.... to get to download mode just use twrp's reboot menu... from what i remember it has a reboot to bootloader. From there you can use the volume keys to select Download mode and push the power button to go into it...

[Q] Cubot S308 (MT6582A) CWM / TWRP + custom rom?

Hello,
Does anyone have any instructions on how to install CWM or TWRP on Cubot S308 (MT6582A)? Is there any custom ROM available in there to install on this phone that supports dual sim?
Thank you!
*bump?*
hello,
I've managed to install CWM into this phone using Mobileuncle Tools. Flash tool didnt work for me as my computer cant recognise my phone when its turned off, nomatter what drivers i installed. Keep in mind though that probably you cant install TWRP using Mobileuncle (i've read that somewhere but cant remember where ) but CWM woks fine :good:.
I have another question though, prior to installing CWM holding voldown + power booted me into the default recovery. Now to boot into CWM i use volup + power, and when i boot using voldown & power i get a different menu which is in chinese . Anyone knows what that is and if i need to change it to english?
Anyway, now waiting for a decent ROM to flash

It's the phone bios. There is no way to change it because the phone is Chinese. This is one of the reasons I'm scared to set up CWM on my Cubot because I'm afraid I'll end up stuck on that screen and not know what to do. Any suggestions?
root s308
Can you point me to how to root the s308. I've tried many root programs but only vroot works and then I've got annoying Chinese stuff all the time.
s308 root
OK, did vroot again and this time i've installed supersu & uninstalled the Chinese superuser and it still says I've got root so that'll do for now.
I personally distrust the fact that the ROM is made by CUBOT and the fact that it could contain spying apps running in the background transmitting information without my authorization. That is why I would prefer to install CM... better to leak to the USA or Russia than to the Chinese, right?
I'm not a robot

[Q] Unusual Booting

Started out with Z4, updated to Z8. I tried this with TWRP installed after making both EFS backup and regular nandroid backup, installed fine. I made sure to use the recommended partition zips. Here's the ROM I used. However after turning my phone off it will turn on into safe mode (lollipop) in limited, seemingly random instances. I have yet to access recovery. However, the one part I know that I screwed up is I installed xposed (forgot to install the xposed helper), so I receive unlimited errors for that and can't do anything.
I've tried rebooting my phone normally, rebooting into recovery, and cutting all of my losses and flashing back to stock. Any advice? I'm trying to follow the directions here to revert back to stock, but my computer will only recognize an unrecognized device.
Thanks for the help!
Flash the rom labeled "BarePop_TE_V1 " it has the files need to fix your issues (make sure to thank @engine95). Heres the link to the rom it is pretty much a debloated version of that lollipop rom you were running:http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/development/barepop-zv8-t3035551
That reboot problem you are having is because of a bug with the stock rom so just flash that one to fix everything.
I appreciate the help, however my main problem still lies with the fact that I can't access recovery. I've gotten it to where I can reboot normally (albeit I still can't do anything due to the constant errors), but holding pwr+vol down and then letting go and reclicking those once the lg sign comes up won't let me into recovery. Do you have any advice for that? Thanks again for the help!

I've had similar issues in the past trying to boot into recovery and the method you said (vol down+power then let go and press again when LG logo comes up) also wouldn't work for me. Have you tried just holding it down and not letting it go until you see "Recovery Mode"? That actually worked for me.

I've tried doing that a few times as well, it just boots up as normal at that point. I'm welcome to trying anything though so if you have any other ideas, please let me know.

I don't know why it worked this time... but it worked on my second attempt! I have access! Only issue is the touchscreen is messed up on the ROM, but it works!
With all of these issues you may want to flashtool back to ZV4 and reroot or ZV8 your call.

Not to be redundant, but my understanding is the only way it will go into recovery from full off is to keep holding power+vol down until you see "recovery mode", if you let up on the buttons before you see recovery mode it will simply reboot.
When rooting an ATT G3 I could not for the life of me get it to boot into recovery using the button combo, instead I just used adb reboot recovery instead, worked every time, to this day the guy can only reboot to recovery from within rom, gonna suck if he gets soft bricked.. My Sprint G# holding the buttons works like a charm
When I want to boot into recpvery I always have to do volume + power up until the lg logo comes up then let go and press them again. Then I have to press the factory reset button and click yes. For me and I guess others when you hold volume + powerdown you just end up going into safe mode. If you end up always having problem just download a app that can make your phone reboot itself or download terminal and run:
su
reboot recovery
That always works because it is built into the phone.

I think I hard bricked my GALAXY MEGA 5.8 (gt-i9158)... PLEASE HELP

I am new to this stuff and since my Galaxy Mega 5.8 (gt-i9158) is korean, I decided to install custom rom. I did the following steps.
1. Installed KINGRoot and rooted my device.
2.Installed TWRP Manager. I just followed what it said and have no idea what I did. It downloaded something and asked me about installing a recovery. To that I said yes and then restarted my phone.
Sadly, there is no step 3. :crying:
My phone never restarted. The usb cable connected to the computer does nothing to it but just shows it as "QHSUSB_DLOAD" .
I tried doing that HOME BUTTON + POWER BUTTON + VOLUME DOWN stuff but nothing has happened. Its almost like dead.

I am new to this stuff and since my Galaxy Mega 5.8 (gt-i9158) is korean, I decided to install custom rom. I did the following steps.
1. Installed KINGRoot and rooted my device.
2.Installed TWRP Manager. I just followed what it said and have no idea what I did. It downloaded something and asked me about installing a recovery. To that I said yes and then restarted my phone.
Sadly, there is no step 3. :crying:
My phone never restarted. The usb cable connected to the computer does nothing to it but just shows it as "QHSUSB_DLOAD" .
I tried doing that HOME BUTTON + POWER BUTTON + VOLUME DOWN stuff but nothing has happened. Its almost like dead.

Hey man, sorry for the slow reply.. Have you tried going into download mode? (Volume Down+ Home + Power button) while the device is off?
If that doesn't work. I would take the battery out, plug it into the wall, then try to enter download mode.
If THAT doesn't work, I would leave the phone completely off, plug it in. Then try to enter download mode..
If you get to download mode, you have hope.
I don't recommend the twrp app. Flash custom recovery in odin.
It's bootlooped 4 of my devices all of which, from what I understand have unlocked bootloaders.
I would also recommend not using kingroot at this point because i believe it changed my imei now i'm network blocked. Odin and whatever rom you need for your model is your way back i hope. Remember BL bootloader AP is the same as PDA and CP is the phone file and you don't have to have a pit file necessarily.
