If you have your twrp 2.1 on pc, do fastboot install (see the twrp page for details) then adb push a rom to the prime and install it... you should be okay then....

When you plug the device into the pc, is it recovery or fastboot mode? Not sure it will show up if it is in a bootloop. Also if you are in recovery, you should be running adb from within the folder the exe file is in... basically open the folder, press and hold shift then rightclick and select open command prompt here then type adb devices and see what you get.

The adb commands won't work in fastboot... you need to use the fastboot commands.
From: http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/93
Put the attached file in your nvflashpack folder where you see the fastboot.exe, this way you don't need to type paths. In the same window press and hold shift, rightclick in the window and select open command prompt here. Make sure the prime is already in fastboot mode.... now, copy the command below and rightclick in the command window and select paste (avoids typing mistakes) press enter and with any luck you should be able to boot to twrp recovery...
You will need adb and fastboot for this method. Download the above file, check the md5, rename to twrp.img and put the file in the same directory as your fastboot binary (unless you have /platform-tools in PATH then you can flash from anywhere). Turn off your device and boot to fastboot (power on while holding volume down, then select the usb icon and hit volume up to confirm). The device will now be in fastboot mode. Plug the device into your computer. Run the following command via the command line:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.img
If you use the attached file you don't need the modified bootloader, you will have an older version of twrp but the whole point is to get you running first...
After you do this, boot into recovery, connect the prime to the PC and with the rom in the same folder as adb.exe, open a command window like before. Type adb devices, you should see the prime... then do adb push /the name of your rom.zip/ sdcard/
For the name of the rom, I usually right click the file, go to properties and copy the name.. (no spelling mistakes) again, right click in command window and paste and be sure to put .zip at the end. This should take about 5 minutes to complete. Then in recovery, go to install and you should be able to flash the rom....

now if I have misunderstood and you don't know how to get the prime into fastboot hold volume down and power, when you see the white text in the top left corner, press volume up then volume up to select fastboot of course the prime will be connected to the pc before this...

Hello
I have a Sony Xperia S LT26i
I used this manual to root my Sony:
Copy the CyanogenMod 9.1 package and the GApps package into your phone’s internal SD card.
Extract fastboot-win32.zip into the C:\ drive (root directory) of your computer.
Copy recovery-nozomi.img into the same folder where fastboot.exe has been extracted.

Access bootloader, connect your phone to pc, select an option that enables pc to recognize your device(differs with different devices and all other pc tools must be installed to the pc), copy the files to your phone adn flash 'em thru recovery tool. Evrything shud work fine then.
Sorry if this has been covered before but I can´t get it to work. I desperatly need help because my One X+ does not boot into recovery. It started with me having CM 10.1 working and all was good. Then when I was using the cam it froze and rebooted but didnt start. I tried to get into recovery but after having chosen the recovery option the phone shows the HTC boot screen, blinks to Another HTC bootscreen and then goes black. I assume it shuts off because I cannot Contact it from fastboot or adb. I have tried flashing a number of different recovery and kernel combinations but the same problem remains. I have even tried the RUU to get it back to stock but even that gives me the same problem afterwards.
I have tried to erase cache and Everything I have found in this wonderful forum but now I dont know what to do. Pls help me
My Hboot is 1.35.0000 and it´s the international version.

How did you managed to flash a different boot or another recovery if this device is not recognized by the SDK tool?

Sorry, it was after the boot that I cannot access it. If I boot into fastboot its possible to flash recovery and kernel. I´m new at this so I try my best
I have tried flashing openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-enrc2b.img, ViperX+ 1.06 with venomkernelflasher etc. Everythings seems to go well until reboot, or trying to get into recovery. Could it be HW fault or is it just my incompetence to get it right?
And you said you tried to flash the appropriate boot.img for your ROM?
Bootlooping is usually caused by an inpropriate boot.img... Can you described how you do it please? There is something missing.
Are you using any sort of tool or you're doing all this via a command window?
Also are you sure you picked the right Recovery? Don't take the CWM, you must install the TWRP for the ENRC2B version since you have an International phone.

Oops! Sorry I didn't saw you had edited your previous post.
It's hard to tell what you have done, you need to precise what you are doing....
At first you were at this :
...CM 10.1 working and all was good. Then when I was using the cam it froze and rebooted but didnt start...

then now you are at :
...ViperX+ 1.06 with venomkernelflasher...
Click to expand...

First, if you have CM 10.1 installed on your phone you CAN NOT use VenomKernelFlasher, the latter is only usable with the Viper ROM. You need to flash the boot.img of CM 10.1 if this is the ROM actually installed on your phone.
You should try to flash the correspondent CM 10.1 boot.img located HERE
As I said i´m new at this
When it all happened I was using the CM 10.1. I flashed and rooted with Hasoon2000 v2.3 toolkit.
From the toolkit I flashed the CWM recovery which was working fine until this very moment..
I used the same toolkit to flash the blade boot img you so kindly linked to but same problem did occur after that.
Panicing as I was then I tried Another rom with it´s recovery and kernel but the problems remained the same. (viperX)
Is there anyway I can start over and get a fresh start so to speak? I thought the RUU would solve it but it didn´t. I relocked the phone Before trying the ruu...
update:
Just tried flashing the openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-enrc2b.img with the "BLADE" boot.img but nothing Changes.
It says ok when flashing..
I know this may sound stupid but make sure when flashing a new boot.img you also have flashed the matching rom. I'd take a deep breath and reflash a whole new set. Use normal commands from a "CMD" box so you can track any problems.
Start here with recovery, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995002
Then flash this rom and kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010104
edit - just realized if you are not able to boot into android you will need to sideload your rom via recovery
edit - just realized if you are not able to boot into android you will need to sideload your rom via recovery[/QUOTE]
The problem is that I can´t boot into recovery.. can I do it some other way?
i trust you can get to the bootloader screen? if so, is it from there where you try and flash the recovery? Hmm without recovery you cannot flash any rom.
however if you have not been able to boot into recovery i trust you didnt wipe the system (other than when you relocked and then unlocked the bootloader) if so try just flashing the cm10.1 kernel again to see if you can return to a booting phone again.
edit - what error did you get when trying to flash the ruu?

I didn´t get any errors at all, it just installs then when it boots it shuts off after the HTC bootscreen. It feels like my main concern must be to get a working recovery again? But how??

if you are using the correct recovery version (International) then I'm out of ideas Sorry I couldnt help
Make sure you downloaded the good RUU for your CID
Boot your phone in BOOTLOADER (Volume down + Power)
Make sure your phone is responding to adb command line with the following : fastboot devices (Enter)
Relock your BOOTLOADER : fastboot oem lock (Enter)
Rebooting
Boot the phone into FASTBOOT and then connect to the PC
Again make sure your phone is responding to adb command line with the following : fastboot devices (Enter)
If you have a your serial number in return you can run the RUU
Good luck!

Thank you for not giving up on me
Did all the steps you said and everything went well except for the problem still remaining. Would it make any difference if I try to extract the recovery and boot from the RUU as I have seen mentioned somwhere in the forum?
You can give it a shot, but how are you gonna transfer the Rom.zip on your phone then?
Usually it's something like
Run the installer of the RUU with your phone unplugged.
Stop on the automated installer and put it aside on your Desktop
Follow this path in your computer : C:\Users\your_account_name\AppData\Local\Temp\{ABC1234D-56E7-8910-F11G-123AB4C56DE7}\{ABC1234D-56E7-8910-F11G-123AB4C56DE7}\Rom.zip (Your string will be different but the Rom.zip will still be there)
Extract from this Rom.zip : boot_signed.img & recovery_signed.img
Boot to fastboot, flash boot_signed.img and recovery.img .
Boot to recovery and flash the Rom.zip

I figured if I manage to extract those files from the rom.zip then I could flash them with fastboot? But at the moment I´m even struggling with extracting the darn files...
Do you Think it will make any difference doing the flashing this way or just running the RUU.exe (wich in my case doesn´t work)?

Links fixed, Sorry!
First I just want the conformation that you are doing all this manually via a command window and not throught any sort of flashing tool, right?
Lets try those...
Test 1 :

I have used both toolkit and cmd, another problem is that I cant get "adb devices" to return my device. I have tried in win 8, win 7, and now ubuntu but no serial nr returned. If I try fastboot devices it works fine. Is it important to get the adb to work or could I use fastboot instead? I dont know how I can make it work, maybe its my phone thats the problem? I will try now to flash the file you sent me in your latest post. I very very much appreciate you helping me
edit:
Test 1:
The fastboot erase recovery returns - erasing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
Fastboot flash.. returns -
C:\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery TWRPrecovENRC2B.img
sending 'recovery' (7370 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... INFOFormat partition SOS done
OKAY
Erase cache - OKAY
After reboot - same problem
Test 2:
The same result as test 1...
Must be something is broken in my ***** phone!?
Hello, first post and fisrst tutorial here.
So here I want to show you how you can restore completely died LG p760(or his brothers p765/p768/p769) showing nothing or just LG Logo and so well known "Security Error", or boot loop problems.
The goal is to flash stock recovery, x-loader and u-boot and to unlock the bootloader(u-boot), so it can boot Clockworkmod or TWRP recovery.
First of all you'll need a computer(preferably Win7/8), an died phone , some drivers on the computer and fastboot on the phone. Let's start.
I'm not responsible for any damage to your device made during this guide. You can continue at YOUR OWN RISK.
Please READ IT before taking any actions on your phone!
1. Get fastboot on the phone. How? You can see here and here, or search the internet. There is a driver package, install them following the instructions.
2. After you inserted phone, installed drivers, etc. start the fastboot loader script(I prefer Lelus's one, i'ts more option-rich), and select one option for ICS x-loader and u-boot for your phone. Follow the instructions, it may take 2 or 3 tries before the drivers are correctly installed. Start again if the drivers are not correctly installed.
3. Copy the bin folder that is inside the fastboot files folder in C:, press winkey+R, type cmd and press OK.
Then copy everything from v20c_00 folder inside the C:\bin\ folder, it's in attachments in the end.
Here is the time to say that this files are for p760 only, you can find x-loader, u-boot and stock recovery for you model from internet, or here in the forums. I flashed also the boot.img, but don't think it's necessary for the completion of the process. You can also extract the .img files from stock .KDZ rom with this tool here, thanks to user kuma82. In the archive is the tutorial how to make x-loader.img, it's easy.
Let's continue.
Type in:
Code:
cd C:\bin
Check if the phone is in fastboot mode with this command:
Code:
fastboot devices
It must show something like:
Code:
1234567890 fastboot
If not, check that you are in the correct folder(C:\bin\), go and check drivers(no yellow marks or unknown devices), read the instructions again.
Then after you copied the files from archive, or files that you extracted from your stock rom, type in, or copy and paste into the cmd window:
Code:
fastboot erase x-loader
fastboot erase u-boot
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash x-loader 0-x-loader.img
fastboot flash u-boot 1-u-boot.img
fastboot flash boot 2-boot.img
fastboot flash recovery 3-recovery.img
You must be fast, because after 30-60 seconds(don't know exactly) of inactivity, the phone will exit the service mode it is in and try to boot. Nothing bad happened, just load fastboot again and repeat the above fastboot commands.
After all the commands are completed without any errors, plug out usb, plug out battery, put the battery in, start the phone. The "Security Error" message MUST be gone. If it's not, probably your recovery is wrong, flash recovery again, if not, try with other recovery. This is working on P760, at least on mine. Here the S/W Update mode must also work like a charm, and you can try with some KDZ updaters, but that's not for this tutorial.
4. Now for step 4 we will need the phone in Recovery Mode. With phone turned off and battery inserted, press VOL_UP+HOME+POWER, when LG logo shows, release POWER and hold other two while the LG Recovery Mode show up. The phone must go straight into recovery, not bootlooping or showing "Security Error". If this happens, probably you recovery or u-boot is wrong.
Now put the usb into the phone and install the drivers from usb_drv_windows folder that is in the fastboot archive.
5. Type into cmd window:
Code:
adb devices
It must show something like:
Code:
1234567890 recovery
If not, you know..
Then we will unlock the bootloader with this command:
Code:
adb oem-unlock
The phone will restart, don't touch nothing. You'll see screen with info on what to do. Guess what..? We must press the VOL_UP button to confirm that we want to UNLOCK the bootloader, so it can load unsigned recoveries like CWM or TWRP and not to show the annoying "Security Error".
6. The phone will go into fastboot mode itself, you must install the drivers, again from the folder in the archive.
Now we'll flash CWM recovery with the help of fastboot. Copy the recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.9-p760 or recovery that is for your model to C:\bin\ folder.
Write:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.9-p760.img
fastboot reboot
The phone will reboot, and hopefully you will not see "Security Error" error message. Now try to boot into recovery - pull the battery out, the usb cable, put battery in, and hold down VOL_UP+HOME+POWER, you know..
7. If everything is successfull you phone will load the recovery and you will be able to load nandroid backup or stock update.zip or CyanogenMod on your phone. Don't forget to wipe cache/data and dalvik's cache. From here you can backup your data or do whatever you want.
If your phone is not totally bricked, and if you are lucky enough you can continue from step 4(if you have recovery in your phone and it's still loading).

Hello everyone I finally installed successfully Wear 2.0 (N) on my LG G Watch after experienced a lot of problems and bootloops so I decided to make a step by step tutorial for everyone experiencing bootloops or any install issues after installing A.W. 2.0 on their G Watch.
All the credits goes to @Ad123321 for porting Android Wear 2.0 (N). Go check his thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/g-...t-lenok2dory-android-wear-lg-g-watch-t3624441
First of all : THIS TUTORIAL WILL FULLY WIPE AND RESET YOUR WATCH (this is not a big issue because with android 6. (Android Wear 1) nothing is really stocked on the watch)
So here we go :
At this point there is two type of people :
1) Persons who do not have tried to install A.W. 2.0 on their watch
2) Persons who are stuck on the LG Logo / On the loading boot screen (more than 30min)
For the first type of people go try the tutorial of @ab123321 here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/g-...t-lenok2dory-android-wear-lg-g-watch-t3624441 there is a high percentage of chance this tutorial works for you but :
For all the persons are stucked in bootloop after tried the tutorial of @ab123321 follow me :
Pre requirements :
Charge your watch at least at 60% (just in case)
Install adb drivers on your computer : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Download my custom version of LG G Watch Restore Tools (I just changed the .img wich will install on the watch) : http://www.mediafire.com/file/cp9ryauwb3hu3u7/LG_G_Watch_Restore_Tools_modified_by_Cookeys.rar
Download the twrp with squashfs support : https://forum.xda-developers.com/g-watch/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-squashfs-support-t3632216
Download the img (the boot.img on the 20.06.17 folder and the system4dory.img in the 01.08.2017 folder) of AW 2.0 (N) by @ab123321 : https://forum.xda-developers.com/g-...t-lenok2dory-android-wear-lg-g-watch-t3624441
Let's put the watch in fastboot mode :
1 - Put a pen and press the little button on the back of the watch (left above the charging pins) and hold it for 10 seconds
2 - The watch restart and display the LG Logo so quickly swipe from the top left of the screen to the bottom right of the screen
3 - The watch show you the fastboot menu and that means the she is in fastboot mode (if you fail retry from the step 1) so connect it to the computer and open a cmd window ( Win + R and type cmd then OK ) and type
Code:
fastboot devices
if the watch is successfully in fastboot mode it will show you the "List of devices attached" with a serial of letters and numbers.
NOW YOU HAVE TO FORMAT THE WATCH BEFORE INSTALLING AW 1 (6.1)
Still in the CMD window type :
Code:
fastboot erase boot
Code:
fastboot erase system
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Now we will format all the partitions of the watch by typing :
Code:
fastboot format boot
Code:
fastboot format recovery
Code:
fastboot format system
Code:
fastboot format userdata
Code:
fastboot format cache
NB : Some commands can tells you that you can't format those partition. This is normal, the boot partition and the recovery partition can't be formatted but type the commands anyway and ignore the error.
LET THE WATCH CONNECTED
Now we will make a clean reinstall of Android 6.1 to install Android N after :
4 - Launch the custom version of LG G Watch restore tools by clicking on "1 LG G Watch Tools for Windows.bat"
5 - Choose the 6 option, press enter and let the script re-install Android 6.1 on your G Watch
6 - When the script says that he successfully re-installed A.W. (reset your watch to stock) open a cmd window in the folder you have the twrp with squashfs support that you downloaded before ( Maj + Right click and select "Open a cmd windows here" or "Open a PowerShell windows here" )
7 - In this windows type :
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
8 - Install the custom recovery (twrp with squashfs support) by typing :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.0-0-dory+squashfs.img
9 - Let the watch write the recovery and type
Code:
fastboot reboot
to reboot the watch on the system
10 - Now I let you configure Android 6.1 (pair to your smartphone...)
10 bis - If the watch ask you if you want update the watch say YES
11 - Connect the watch to your computer (if you haven't done it before) and go to the wear settings then activate the developers options and activate the ADB Debugging
12 - Type
Code:
adb devices
on a cmd windows, the watch ask you if you want to let the computer access to the adb debugging click on "Always allow"
13 - Go on the folder which contain the img of AW 2.0 (N) and open a cmd windows in this folder
14 - Type :
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
15 - Once you are in the fastboot menu type the following commands : (as you done before installing Wear 6.1 with the LG G Watch Restore tools)
Code:
fastboot erase boot
Code:
fastboot erase system
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Now we will format all the partitions of the watch by typing :
Code:
fastboot format boot
Code:
fastboot format system
Code:
fastboot format userdata
Code:
fastboot format cache
And reboot the watch by typing :
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
NB : Some commands can tells you that you can't format those partition. This is normal, especially for the boot partition and the recovery partition because they can't be formatted but type the commands anyway and ignore the error.
Now its time to install A.W. 2.0 (N)
Type :
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash system system4dory.img
Then :
Code:
fastboot reboot booloader
And with the little arrows select "RECOVERY" on the fastboot menu on the watch and press the "O" to enter in the TWRP
Once you are in the TWRP allow the modifications and go to "Wipe" and swipe for factory reset then press "Reboot" and ignore the message about no OS installed (because there is an OS installed)
Wait until the boot is complete (it can take up to 30min) and let the watch plugged for the battery when Wear 2.0 (N)
Voilà ! You got Android Wear 2.0 (N) on your watch
If you have any questions or problems post them below and I will help you as fast I can
Put a "Thanks !" to my post if this helped you
Huge thanks to @ab123321, @joacagomez (for the TWRP), @Tomsgt (For the original version of LG G Watch Restore Tools I modified) and everybody on the forum who posted tips to bypass some problems during the installation :highfive:
Mate i love u so muchhhh it worked finally ty !!!
How do i boot the quad4 img now msg me if u can help me ty
it work
The watch experienced the same bootloop after flashing the restore. I ended up not installing the twrp recovery and kept the stock one. Never experienced bootloop again and AW 2.0 has been running fine.
Twrp will cause bootloop it needs original factory recovery
Erasing and formatting in fastboot does the same. Just erase all the partition in fastboot. And flash 2.0 or 1.5, it's that easy
Thank you It work !! You saved my LG G watch, i was dead like a year ago
thank you! I just got a G Watch for cheap and decided to flash it using your tutorial.
I upgraded now. Thanks for the tutorial!
Ok, I do all the steps but my g watch didn't boot in the system, I flash the 6.1 and the twrp, but its stocks in the same way. When I do the format steps, I have an error: Cannot generate image for userdata. Someone know how I can solve this problem? thx
I tried opening the folder as a PowerShell and then typing 'fastboot reboot bootloader' but then it comes up with an error message saying 'fastboot : The term 'fastboot' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ fastboot reboot
+ ~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (fastboot:String) [], CommandNotFoundException

And when I try and use Minimal ADB and Fastboot to type 'fastboot reboot' my watch gets stuck in a bootloop. Please help me, I've wanted Wear 2.0 on my LG G Watch for ages now and nothing seems to be working for me.
Also, it might be because I don't have the ADB drivers installed on my PC but I don't know how to install them with Dropbox or ZippyShare. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Hi,will this work for lg G watch R? cause my R watch stuck on lg logo, thx in advance
I know this is an old thread but is anyone still around?
I have tried this process to mess with this old watch for some simple wrist notifications in addition to my newer smartwatch, but when i try to run the "fastboot format boot" I get this message...
"Formatting is not supported for file system with type 'emmc' any ideas? I have searched all over and cannot find a solution to this one.. ?
Hello
i have done everything like in the description but i am still in bootloop with my android wear.
Please can anybody help me? i am so frustrated and don´t know what to do anymore....
THANS
i am also stuck in bootloop despite these instructions
Hi guys,
Same problem for me, but solved by 3 simples commands between "fastboot flash boot" / "fastboot flash system" with the wear2.0 package and the "fastboot reboot"
> fastboot format system
> fastboot format userdata
> fastboot format cache
After a several minutes (be really patient) the LG W100 boot to the system
Hi guys,
After two days of test, I go back to 1.5
Wear 2.0 is so many slow to be used... ;(
Hi, for the past 5 hours I tried upgrading to Android Wear 2.0, but I ended only with a bootloop on the Android animated boot logo.
But I finally managed to restore my watch and to install a working Wear2.0, with a quite unorthodox method:
The instructions in the 1st post didn't work for me.
Thanks to Restore Tools v8, I was able to restore a working Kitkat Android Wear.
Then I got a crazy idea of replacing the 01Qboot.img and 01Qsystem.img files from Restore Tools with the boot.img and system4dory.img from ab123321's lenok2dory Wear 2.0, and... It just work! Automatic "restoration" of a working Wear 2.0 on my watch!
EDIT: by default it's supper laggy, as it seems to run on only 2 cores of the quad-core CPU. Flashing this patched boot.img 4 cores + Magisk from the lenok2dory thread pg 86 makes it smooth again.
@Cookeys and other friends. help me plaease. I've successfully installed Android Wear 2.0. but I can't find applications. There is an application section in the settings. but applications do not appear in it. What should I do to see apps?
