I am running ClockworkMod Recovery, and when I updated to version 2.0.1.0 through Koush's ClockworkMod Rom Manager, my phone won't boot into recovery.
When I plug it in to my computer to run adb logcat, it says "FASTBOOT USB" in red at the top of the screen. When I type fastboot reboot, it says "rebooting..." but doesn't reboot. Any ideas?
IDK. Haven't tried that recovery. Have you tried to download from your computer and flash it on the phone. You might also want to try flashing Amon RA or Godspeed.
I went into ROM Manager and flashed an old version of ClockworkMod. That fixed it.
Have you tried Amon-RA? If so what's the difference?

ClockworkMod has a nice app that you use in Android to name your backups, flash things in folders other than root of sd, ecetera.
if someone gave me the steps on how to install rom holoblur when tried to install the rom does not start:crying:
Also I would be happy if I had a 4.1 android rom all that and installed rom always have problems

First questions:
Is your bootloader unlocked?
Do you have a custom recovery installed? (Safestrap? Clockworkmod?)
If your bootloader is LOCKED, unlock it using Myth Tools.
If your bootloader is UNLOCKED, and you do not have a custom recovery, download Clockworkmod and install it (boot your phone into fastboot mode then shift-click inside the folder you extracted the recovery.img to and click "Open command window here" and type the command posted in the thread).
If your bootloader is LOCKED or UNLOCKED and you have Safestrap installed, boot into SS and delete any ROM slots you have made (do not delete the stock slot), then uninstall the recovery through the app, then uninstall the app itself. Now follow the instructions above to install Clockworkmod.
If your bootloader is UNLOCKED and you have Clockworkmod, boot into CWM and follow the instructions on the ROM's XDA page.
Same problem
Same problem here. My MB886 is definitely unlocked, CWM and recovery are installed. Attempted to install Holoblur v.9 Performance from stock 4.1.1. Followed the directions including a format of /system but it hangs during boot every time. Restored stock rom via CWM, loaded latest CM 10.2 nightly build temporarily but ultimately hope to switch to Holoblur when I have more time to work on it.

I think the Performance version was broken for some people, have you tried the Tuned version?
Just flash tuned version then flash PurePerformance mod over it. Voila. (I got a link in my sig).
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
What about mounting the system before installing the rom?
I can't get CWM to install...i'm Bootloader Unlocked, rooted and on 4.1.1...every time i flash it, it goes to the "Dead Android" screen when i tell MythTools to go to Recovery.....

Are you rooted? If you are, use Root Explorer to change the file named install-recovery.sh to recovery.sh.bak and flash CWM via fastboot using the command fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img.
I rooted my phone, unlocked bootloader. then installed cwm 6028, then installed rom manager and then applied to backup the system, and now i am stucked at cwm recovery.

Hi there,
I am trying to kill the original LG Android 4.1.2.
I managed to:
-become root
-installed Rom Manager 5.5.3.7.
-downloaded via Rom Manager Flash ClockworkMod Recovery with message "Successfully flashed ClockworkMod recovery"
-Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 6.0.4.5
Issue:
When pressing "boot into recovery" in Rom Manager, the phone is rebooting, but the boot screen contains only the LG logo and two error messages written in red on top of the screen:
"[LG_Security] Error, boot image signature"
and
"[LG_Security] 5 seconds after power is turned off for battery savings"
Any idea
Thanks

did you unlock the bootloader bevore flashing CWM? (which is a requirement for installing 3rd party recoveries)
So I connected my LG-H811 running stock ROM 20p to my PC successfully and ran adb and fastboot to transfer twrp and supersu over to the phone internal drive. So far so good. I couldn't get twrp to flash properly, so I simply did a temporary boot and got twrp to run without flashing it as a recovery. Then I used twrp to flash supersu (SuperSU-v1.94.zip). The problem is that when I try to reboot, it says the superSU binary is not installed. So I tried newer versions of supersu (SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip and SuperSU-v2.48.zip). Each time with these newer versions it soft bricked the phone again and required a full stock ROM restore. Specifically, it hangs either on the black LG screen or the white T-mobile screen, while the blue LED flashes on and off every few seconds. To unbrick it each time, I did a restore with stock ROM H811V20p_00_0913.kdz with LGUP. That got it working again with stock ROM, but no root. There must be a way to get superSU to install on 20p (and even get the twrp recovery to flash). I unlocked the bootloader, and it seems to load, so apparently that's not the issue. Thanks.

Thanks raptorddd, but that's exactly the problem. I did flash superSU using twrp, and it seemed to install fine. I expected that I would simply get root as you say, but that's not what happened. The first time with SuperSU v1.94 newly installed, the phone rebooted normally, and the superSU app showed up, but it didn't work because it said there was no binary installed. The newer versions of superSU simply soft-bricked the phone. So I need a way to get superSU to work and not soft-brick the phone. Is there a preferred version of superSU for LG-H811 ROM 20p, or some obscure setting that makes it work?

Thanks -- that's the the exact same version of superSU I used earlier (I even ran a diff, and the files are identical). After I flashed this version of superSU on the p20 stock ROM with twrp, it soft-bricked my phone. By that I mean it got to the boot page, and the blue LED pulsed on and off every few seconds, and it never got beyond that. When I flashed superSU v1.94, at least it booted afterward, but when I opened the superSU app, it didn't even give me the option to update binaries -- it just said the binary isn't installed, and so superSU can't run, it exited.
Maybe I'll try flashing an earlier stock ROM and see if that allows superSU to flash and run properly -- not sure which ones are compatible given the anti-rollback versioning.

OK so I finally got root. The key was to copy over this file to the phone's internal memory:
Imperium_Kernel_G4_H811_v4.8a.zip
Then:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-h811.img
Then in TWRP, flash the imperium kernel. After that everything worked with root, though I still can’t get the twrp recovery to flash properly. Having root is good enough for now though.
EDIT: just now got TWRP to flash using flashify, so everything works. On to unlocking...
can you please share what guide you used to unlock and root this phone? I'm having issues on finding it, im on the newest update

May I ask where you downloaded the Imperium_Kernel_G4_H811_v4.8a.zip
Did "fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-h811.img" work?
What version of SuperSu did you install? I am planning on using "SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031.zip"

You can get the latest Imperium kernel (5.0 currently) from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/kernel-imperium-kernel-g4-v1-0-t3282915
Yes, fastboot boot from the twrp image was kind of a hack, but it worked. As for SuperSU, I tried v1.94 and SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip. Both soft-bricked the phone. Maybe the newest SuperSU will work, but I wouldn't count on it given that several previous versions didn't.

I need to flash twrp and root from 20p also. One question to clarify exactly what you did,
Did you originally try flashing TWRP from TWRP? You said you flashed root from TWRP but I want to verify if you tried flashing TWRP from TWRP like:
> adb reboot bootloader
> fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-h811.img
then in TWRP:
> install click on image tab.. then select twrp-3.0.2-0-h811.img recovery and flash it.
> reboot recovery (should reboot to TWRP you just flashed)
Just to be totally clear doing > fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-h811.img leaves your stock recovery intact and just loads TWRP temporarily.
Or did you actually flash TWRP from TWRP and it didn't flash properly?
Thanks!

Yes, just loads TWRP temporarily. Later I installed some apps that flashed the recovery successfully, either rashr or flashify (I don't remember which)
I hope you have all the files and pc is reading your phone in adb.
Keep the downloaded twrp file in your adb folder with dwonloaded name (Ex:1234twrp.img)
Copy the file and keep in phone internal storage with names recovery.img
adb reboot bootloader (wait for phone to boot in bootloader ofcourse)
fastboot boot 1234twrp.img (whatever your twrp img file name would be)
Now you are in twrp recovery page in the phone.
Tap Install > Images (bottom right) > select recovery.img >
Now you are in next screen where options to slect recovery or boot
Tap recovery and swipe you will see [image flash complete]
Now twrp is permeant. You can restart in recovery without PC. (Tested)
I have flashed more than 6 methods to install supersu. Keep trying and reply.
