Fake-flash by Koush, launching recovery without a PC

Now updated and working!
Note: The recommended install method for fake-flash is now 'ROM Manager' on the Android Market.
Koush and I have been working on / stumbling through getting recovery running on a Legend without using a PC for devices rooted with a test image. The same technique also applies to the Desire... and after a lot of work and debugging... presenting...
fake-flash!
Fake-flash using a similar concept to the original root method, it launches a recovery image from the test image recovery, but instead of pushing the files from a PC, the files are extracted from an update.zip on the SD card. Here's how it works...
Preperation
Download the fake-flash update zip from one of the links below
Copy the update.zip to the root of your SD card (the name MUST remain as update.zip)
When you want to launch the recovery image
Turn on your device with 'volume down' pressed and select 'Recovery'
When the exclamation mark appears, press and hold 'volume up' then press 'power'
Select the second option, 'Apply sdcard:update.zip
That's it, ClockworkMod recovery should launch!
Neat eh?
DOWNLOAD
Just to caveat this initial release, we've yet to carry out extensive testing and you are constrained somewhat by the limitations of the stock kernel (e.g. no support for EXT4).
That's it for now... enjoy... i'll update this post as further advances are made. If you'd like to support Koush's work, consider buying 'ROM Manager Premium' from the Android Market.

i got saem errår Q.Q!

question
What does it really do excatly, i am a newbiee here. Sorry about that.

if your phone is rooted you can flash a new rom without connecting your phone to the computer

It works only on rom 1.22 i think...

you probably need a goldcard for that, so keep it in mind

still not working?

Thread disapeard on modaco :s

To someone this procedure works?
From that that I have understood it is not the FakeFlash of the Desire of the Legend?
And accordingly on the Legend it doesn't work (at least on my Device )
Would like us a FakeFlash I suit for the legend

I cannot make it work.
Just like other i receive this error:
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.
in the modaco topic (http://android.modaco.com/content/h...unching-recovery-on-your-device-without-a-pc/) is written in bold:
Note: The recommended install method for fake-flash is now 'ROM Manager' on the Android Market.
I tried but ROM Manager:
Clicked on "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
it pops up a selection Menu with "Confirm Phone Model" (the only option is HTC Legend)
then it downloads the fake-flash recovery e returns me "Successfully downloaded ClockworkMod recovery".
When i try to reboot in recovery (trough ROM MANAGER options) i receive a blackscreen with a device in background and a question mark. After some seconds it restarts.
Help!

I have the same error.
Anybody asked Koush?
May he works on it?

Launcher deleted with TB, reset = problem

Hello
Have stupid problem ^ ^
I deleted the launcher from moto then, and the alternative launcher course not backed up system data.
Yesterday I restored system data via the phone menu.
Now of course, no launcher was there
system device after everything was black. options could only get into the top toolbar by using finger smudge.
Did then wipe data in recovery made​​, now I come in only in the recovery boot after.
Unfortunately this is also about it not installing the JB.eu in stock recovery. Here comes the following error
Verifying current system.
assert failed: apply_patch_check (. "system / lib / libchromeview.so", "f79939629ea22c773ace847ffebdf922bf3" "83c4c735b1e62c277986d164fde9f097c015eac")
E: Error in / tmp / side load / package.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Stupid mistake, I know.
Can someone please give a tip what to do next? So as I imagine her complete my system?
My thought was using RSD Lite to flash over it completely, but I would have to ICS 32nd or 31 Change ... does it work? I do not think so because of JB> ICS
Or install a launcher by CWM? Just where to find?
had jb.eu retail
thanks for attention
(google translate)
edit
Unfortunately, the homemade either.
I'm going to be so.
Unzip the file, run the flashandroot file, press enter 2 times, and nothing happens.
Thus, there simply is nothing to "press any key" ... Also when I press enter 100 times
and when I run the file as admin, but what is coming, but only error message
"the command" adb "is misspelled or could not be found ..."
flashandroot the file was unfortunately not going after 20min .. still the same
when i make homemade manualy, then i become this! What is wrong with my bootloader??

[ROOT] Samsung Galaxy Pocket (GT-S5300)

Hi guys,
Rooting this device is just unfairly easy. What you have to do is download the update.zip for the galaxy pocket (see below) and place it into the root of you phone (I think thats somewhere at /mnt/sdcard (at my phone atleast)). Then put off your phone and boot into recovery mode (VOLUME UP+HOME+POWER). Click apply update from sdcard (navigate with volume, select with home button) and at the top there should be the update.zip . Just select it , press home and wait a little while. Press reboot and BOOOOOM youre rooted. You can check this by searching for the app Superuser between your installed apps.
(download update.zip: http://www.mediafire.com/?oh8h3aob7mja9mk )

try using cwmrecovery

Visit this thread for All-in-One details for Galaxy Pocket GT-5300 Cori
[Guide] Know your Device: Galaxy Pocket GT-S5300

Do put it in SD ( Not in SD-ext) . Also use CWM recovery. If it is nor working , Flash using PC with Odin

With this method, do you still need to put the device into usb debugging mode before you power down, and reboot into download mode?

Good day guys.
I need help in rooting this phone.
I've been trying to do that three-button combo to get in to recovery, but every time I do, the phone just boots straight to Android.
Is there any other way to get to the recovery menu?
By the way, the Vol_Down button is damaged, it cannot be used.

After rooting phone vibrates randomly (one 1 sec vibration followed by 2 shorter vibrations). Any ideas how to solve this problem?

Same problem here with random vibrations after rooting.

i cannot download the link any alternatives?

[Q] LG P880 Error 7 and Error 6. X3 or P880?

Hi everyone.
I'm new to Android(And I hate it). I jumped to Android from Apple iOS few days ago.
My LG P880 has 4.1.2 JB installed which is very laggy.
I tried to install 4.4.2 many times but It gives error statuses 7 and 6.
Error:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "p880" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "p880"
E:Error in /external_sd
i already have the latest version of CWM, i flashed it through rom manager.
I used this method too. but useless...
Step 1.Open the ROM.zip with winrar
Step 2.Found \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script ,use Notepad open
Step 3.delete assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "p880" ||
getprop("ro.build.product") == "p880");
Please tell me what to do now..
Why the ROMS are recognizing my device as X3 but not P880?

I believe that @Flying_Bear meant "By not using rom manager", but manually selecting a zip to be flashed after having booted your phone in recovery mode (Power on + Vol down).
Anyhow, let me say that your approach to the problem is not inviting for people to help you. You can be disappointed by the device, but your disappointment can be interpreted as arrogance, and people don't like very much arrogant people asking for help.
Relax and try to enjoy it all the same.

Use phillztouch modified cwm or latest twrp, clearly something is wrong with the one you are using now

[SOLVED] error status 6 and error 7/ X3/P880 model issue.
wow wow wow.. Thanks God.... Finally I installed 4.4.2 Carbon rom on my Phone.
Thank you so much guys for helping me out...
Love you all...
I installed philz_touch_6.12.8-p880 and it worked..
Whoever is facing error 7 or error 6 kindly use this method.
1. Install ADB
2. Unlock bootloader.
3. Root device.
4. Install TWRP first.
5. Go to recovery mode using volume down+Power. and Install "philz_touch_6.12.8-p880"
6. Now Power off phone and Restatrt using Volume up + Power button.
7. Format Factory data, wipe delvik from "advance" menu. Install CUSTOM ROM from sd card option. Install GAPPs and restart your phone.

X3\p880 Naming problem
Sorry if I'm hijacking this thread.
I've got a p880 stuck in a bootloop after installing a custom recovery. Can't remember which one.
The phone is rooted has 4.1.2 on it.
I've tried booting to recovery and wiping the cache and doing a factory reset.
I'm posting here because I tried sideloading 10.2. It fails with error message saying that the phone is an X3 not a p880.
I also tried sideloading phils_touch as mentioned above but get the same error message: the software is for the p880 not the X3.
Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Brendan

Just one question, have you unlocked the bootloader?
Greetings from my Nexus 7 2013 Flo!

Thanks for the reply.
I've managed to get the phone to work.
Found a software upgrade combination (vol up, connect usb I think), then used LG Mobile support tool. I think I'm back at stock,unrooted firmware!
Ran adb reboot oem-unlock to unlock bootloader.
Tried again to run adb sideload cm-11. Transfers file to phone ok but installation fails with usual firmware is for p880 this phone is an X3.
Tried to root with o4xr but it fails also.
Have checked usb debugging and unknown sources.

There's a way to get around this.
You have to look in the zip file you want to flash and search for a text file.
In this text file (something with update as far as I remember) there's a line called getprop="X3" (in your case.
Delete this line and you should be good to go.
Sent from my LG-P880 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I've unpacked the cm-11 archive using 7zip.
Found a text file called updater-script.
The file starts;
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "p880" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "p880" || abort("This package is for \"p880\" devices; this is a \"" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "\".")
If I delete all of this, save and remake the archive using 7zip it fails with "Verifying Update Package...installation aborted"
I tried changing it to:
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "x3" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "x3" || abort("This package is for \"x3\" devices; this is a \"" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "\".")
Same error.

Use winrar, edit the file from within the archive and just save the changes without changing compression parameters
Check the encoding used with your text manager, use notepad++
In any case your problem is the recovery. Download twrp 2.7 from omni rom's thread
extract zip file there's an recovery.img file
open terminal and execute:
adb reboot oem-unlock
fastboot flash recovery c:/path/to/recovery.img (or drag the file inside the temrinal window)
fastboot reboot

Do you mean delete the first section or change p880 references to x3?
You're right about the recovery.
I installed cyanogen rom manager from play store and installed cm recovery from there. The idea was to try and upgrade from the sdcard.
Now the recovery does not work at all.
Pushing vol down and power I just get a red error message. Same goes for vol up and add usb cable.
Phone still works though.
Will your recovery procedure fix the bootloader?

Actually I can't flash the recovery image because adb no longer detects my phone.
Not correct, After normal booting of phone it adb does detect it

Did you get the recovery working yet? The red error message upon trying to boot into recovery usually indicates the bootloader isn't properly unlocked. Could you check the secret menu or S/W upgrade mode to see if it's actually unlocked? If that's not the case, restore everything again with the LGMobile Support Tool, unlock the bootloader, check if it's unlocked, flash a custom recovery and try to flash your ROM using that recovery. In that case you shouldn't have to worry about changing updater scripts. Good luck!

Used 3845#*880#
Bootloader reported as locked. This after using adb reboot oem-unlock.
If I reinstall using the LG Mobile tool how do I unlock the bootloader?
Will reinstall also repair the bootlaoder?

I''ve reinstalled the firmware using the LG Support tool.
This has fixed the bootloader.
The bootloader is reporting as being locked though after I run adb reboot oem-unlock.

I don't think it would be a problem with the updater-script, but on the other hand, you could try changing recoveries. Honestly, I wouldn't think this is the problem; I've flashed just about everything using different recoveries, and the only time I've had problems is with what @peter-k posted.
Then again, it's not like you're flashing a ROM or replacing system files, so you could always copy the files manually with Root Explorer and correct permission.
Also, since your problem is at a permission level, you might just have to fix permission (Root Explorer).
Open a terminal emulator (or ADB) and type:
Code:
su
Fly-On
That should tell you if it's installed or not, regardless of the error you got in recovery.

Maybe you'd want to try with the RC1, instead of the Beta version. I just flashed it and got no errors (CWM 6.0.5.0), although both updater scripts are identical except for the "delete("/system/etc/init.d/03kill_media_server");" line.
What ROM are you on?

Well then don't flash it, copy the files manually and set permissions manually, there aren't that many files.
Files in /system/etc/rngd and /data/Fly-On should be assigned to user/group: root/shell, permissions: rwxrwxrwx.
Every other file should have user/group set to: root/root, and same permissions as before.
