Boot loop after flashing recovery - LG Optimus 4X HD

Hi there
I tried to get a recovery on my phone with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2030777 app.
I pressed the first option ( so Install recovery), then it said something like "flashing succesfull" , so I tried to boot into recovery.
That didn´t work, though, I only got into the preinstalled android recovery, not TWRP.
So I tried to reboot my phone, but ended up in a boot loop...
Any ideas how to solve that?
Thanks in advance,
Metlca

Don't use TWRP. CWM is 100x better and actually works - plus you will find it far easier to get support on here.

Thanks a lot, everything´s working again
But there´s another problem now..
I tried to flash cm10.1 with my new cwm recovery, but I get the error
"assert failed: getprop ("ro.product.device") =="p880"
getprop "ro.build.product") == "p880"
E:error in /sdcard/cm-10.1.2-p880.zip (Status 7)
Installation aborted"
Now what does that mean?.....
Thanks a lot
Edit:
Tried with other cm 10.1 based rom, didn´t work either

Flash the newest cwm recovery and search next time it's a known problem and is well discussed.

Error flashing a Kernel

I am trying to flash the RCMIX 2.2 kernel on my IncS, but I always get the following errors:
Code:
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/newboot.img", "boot")
E:Error in /sdcard/RCMIX_VIVO_2.2_OC_1.6_TUN_CIFS_2WCR_EXT4.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
can anyone help? Do I need to convert my partitions to EXT4?
EDIT: I figured out the original boot.img had to be rooted prior to flashing the kernel... But now my phone becomes unresponsive... Would I need to deodex the operating system so it can successfully rewrite the apks?
Sorry if this sounds sstupid but do u have s-off?

Hi! You need to flash 4EXT Recovery before flashing this kernel! I ran into this situation and this method worked for me, I hope it works for you too. )
Flash the latest EXT4 Recovery from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104765
After it should work!

Really? OMG I'll try that tomorrow! (Went back to Cyanogenmod since you can't overclock the stock kernel very well, so I have to re-root the Bell Mobile RUU) I will give you thanks if it works.

[Q] failed to verify whole-file signature

Hi,
I flashed CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS using ODIN and attempted to install CWM using ROM MANAGER but whenever I boot into recovery all I get is:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
About phone reveals:
Model number: GT-I9000
Firmware: 2.3.6
Baseband: I9000XXJW4
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJW4-CL1043937 [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XXJW4
I have read loads of different posts about fixing this but I do not want to screw up the phone. Can someone please help me before I go mad? I believe that I need a '2e' recovery but where exactly do I get it and install it?
I am not a rookie and had absolutely no problems with my HTC Desire or ZTE Blade but this Samsung is something else.
Cheers guys.

Cheers, but I got there in the end.
My problem was that although I'd flashed the right Kernel with CWM 3, I kept trying to install CWM again from ROM Manager (v2.*.*.*) and this is what was causing the issue. I refashed the Kernel and got into Recovery Mode straight away. I have now installed a Cyanogen JB ROM.
Thanks,

I just got the above on everything I tried, after flashing "CWM".
Turns out I clicked the wrong link and downloaded a file labelled similarly, but was in fact not CWM recovery but a modified stock recovery.
That said, the CF-AUTOROOT package for my I9500 did work on it... I just had to go into recovery again, right away, and then install SuperSU from the market. I had to flash the proper CWM recovery to get all the other fancy ZIPs to work, such as the pretty Philz touch recovery.
Eureka!! Got answer!
Hi Dude,
I got the solution as I just faced it and came over from it.
The thing is simple. You have been trying to install the update.zip or superSU.zip from your default android recovery. thats y its showing error. That means the custom recovery has not been successfully installed on your mobile. so pls try again then it will surely install.
Download the correct image file and copy the file into the same folder as your adb and fastboot binaries. Rename the image to twrp.img and type:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.
The link which i got solution and u should consider it.

Hope this helps you dude. let me know if u have any ques.
Thanks all.

Nexus 7 3G error while flashing Android 4.2.2

Hi guys,
I have a Nexus 7 3G tablet which was running android 4.2.1. I had flashed a custom apk to enable tethering .
Now, to enable flashing, I copied the original framework-res.apk file and replaced the modified one. Then edited the prop file to eliminate the getprop error . This enabled me to start flashing. Flashing happens all the way to the booloader then fails while flashing radio. it gives the following error
Code:
writing radio...
assert failed: batch.update_modem("/radio/SAM_6260_ALL.fls")
Error in JOP40D.zip
(Status 7)
Aborted
any suggestions would be great.

Flash stock recovery. Update via sideloading. Profit!
Just in case you are interested in the cause: Current custom recoveries for tilapia are missing the "bach.modem_update" function (not really sure if all of them).

No, you won't. I said stock RECOVERY, not stock IMAGE.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery stockrecoverysname.img
OK. So could you give me a link to download the recovery image ?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Do you have the original factory image from google? The recovery.img is inside,
if not i will upload it somewhere, though it doesn't fixed the radio update error for me.
I now have a mixed version > the ota update installed without errors, the bootloader is 4.18 but
in settings it complains to still be at 4.2.1 JOP40D
Flashing the stock recovery only leads to an unusable recovery screen with no options for flash/sideload
with an red exclamation mark over the chest of the sweet robot..
any ideas?
maybe i have to reflash my nandroid and try again, the custom recovery was openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-tilapia
here are the images for those who need them

recovery.img

EDIT:
Ok finally i was able to use the stock recovery. though it seemed to be dead.
By pressing power+volup showed the recovery menu for me.
Then flashing the update via sideload worked.

can anyone tell me why i get this error and it's solution please?
i'm on official v20a, rooted, unlocked bootloader with clockworkmod recovery 6.0.3.1 installed through rom manager,
The problem is your recovery, if you install official clockworkmod via ROM manager or from the website it will work. The problem is in cm10.1 our device is labeled as "x3" instead of "p880", this is another ID for our device but some recoveries don't like it. Its also this ID in the build.prop that makes some games show up in Google play that shouldn't, saw my old Gameloft games like backstab, tried installing but I got "your device is not compatible, please request a refund"

Friend, I had the same problem.
Solution: Update your CMW. After upgrade, try installing the latest version.
Here it worked.

Strange, this shouldn't be happening and isn't for anyone else as far as I know. I think there was a fix so this could be flashed on any recovery somewhere, search the general section and try that

Ok, this is not normal as our friend said.
Try installing a new CWM for this program: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsImNvbS5rb3VzaGlrZHV0dGEucm9tbWFuYWdlciJd
I say this because I installed my version of this app and funcinou the CM10.
Take the test and tell me if it worked
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");
Step 4.OK,safe

installing a new CWM ,thx
I just installed the latest CWM and it worked fornme. I was also stuck on that error after installing CWM using the root/bootloader/cwm and so on tool, i forgot the name. Then i figured out that the CWM was the problem so i downloaded the latest .img from CWM website (not touch version) and replaced the .img in the tool's folder with the new one i downloaded. Replace meaning deleting the old one and placing the new one in their with the same name. Hope this helps, sorry for my bad english.
Edit: The tool is the one in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230934 and replaced the CWM .img with version 3.0.3.1 instead of 3.0.2.8

You can download touch version 6.0.3.1. You can install like Dexter way or change the name O4X_CWM.img and put it in ALL IN ONE TOOL inside /files folder.
I had the same problem before using mickey.outcast method. Everything is fine now, except wifi doesn't connect

I got the same problem, this is what i did to fix it, (sorry if this is already solved)
I got the same error code you did.
I used Lg´s mobile support tool to just restore my O4X (bootloader will still be unlocked) and if it isn't there will be a message displaying that i the upper left corner.
Then i re-rooted using All in one tool kit.
NOT FLASHING CWM via All in one.
In the Superuser app i updated my binery file.
Downloaded the rom manager from store
Install rom manager and install the latest CWM (Not the touch version)
Boot recovery
Wipe/data factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Wipe dalvik cache
format system
I actually put the rom on my internal sd card, same whit the Gapps.
Install rom
Install gapps
Works for me problemfree :good:
Im kind of new to this but this solved the problem.
Hope this might help you.
Hey guys, I've been getting the 'assert failed getprop' error.
I replaced the files of the rom and tried flashing again - no luck
Updated CWM, and tried flashing again, still no
Tried flashing an appropriate kernel and then flashing the rom, same error
I tried wiping everything in between and also not wiping, but it didn't help
I've got the Wilfire S Marvelc, the rom i'm trying to flash is cm10 (tried several versions for that might work, the marvelc version doesn't even make it through the install)
It's unlocked, rooted, and with CWM installed.
Can anybody help? I'd immensely appreciate it!

Yeah, it's hugely common on our device - only because people don't read the instructions and keep using the wrong version of CWM.

you need to delete the first line in the updater script using any text editor to install the zip without errors.
meta-inf ->google->android->updater-script
I think it would be easier to just flash CWM 6.0.3.1.
