[Q] Bootloop w/ fastboot access (lg l90 415) - LG Optimus L90

okay...i'll tell you the steps I took that got me to said bootloop..
1. towelroot rooted
2. downloaded supersu from playstore, updated bianary via "normal"
3. tested root w/ xplore app / everything checked out..i had root
4. unlocked the bootloader (got rid of download mode to access fastboot and did the command "fastboot oem unlock"
5. busybox install w/ stericson app
6. flashed twrp via rom installer and a .img file (it was the 415 version I made sure)
7. download pac man rom and gapps from the threads OP and put them on internal memory
8. reboot into recovery
9 wiped dalvik cache/cache/system/data
10 flashed pacman and gapps
11 gapps flash failed, couldn't execute bianary....
at this point i'm not sure if the pacman rom failed also, i just saw the gapps one failed and figured i would boot into the pac man and grab PA gapps......once i hit reboot.....bootloop!
tried to do button combo's to get into recovery....either i'm doing it wrong.....or recovery is borked because of a bad flash...(i think i'm doing it wrong....i press down on volume up+down and power....when i see the logo i let go of power and then hold the power button again???
anyways..fastboot works....but "adb devices" see's nothing
any help is appriciated.....i think i'm just going to exchange it in the store and say it's bootlooping...it's within the 14 days i bought it...and then after that i don't think i'm going to root it..it's to risk for a temp phone till my nexus 6 comes in.....that one is easy to hack...this one is stupid.

derp a derp
it pays to read the QandA common questions and answers....it was on the bottom of that...how to get into recovery....everywhere else on the web was wrong! gah..lol and the gapps isn't what failed..it was the pacman rom...maybe i got a bad download..gonna re-downlaod and try again......

no go
got to recovery.....tried to flash the stock .zip in the thread......nope...eventually it wouldn't mount /system so yeah..i'm going to exchange it at the store and maybe just root it..nothing else..no custom roms for this badboy...not hack friendly

This ROM has a bad boot.img at the moment. The current workaround is to replace the boot.img in the downloaded zip with the boot.img from my CM11 ROM here.
You did everything right, minus not reading thru this forum. Not downing you, but if you had, you would have known about what I stated in my previous paragraph.
If PAC-ROM flashed, you can then power down the device and enter fastboot mode. Extract the boot.img from my ROM to the folder where your copy of the fastboot executable lives, then type:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
When that's finished, type:
Code:
fastboot reboot
No need to get discouraged. It may take a day or two, but there's always someone who has an answer to your Android related questions

Thank you Shinobi, your solution helped me deal with my bootlooping that happened to me

[Q] I lost recovery while flashing gingerbread asop rom

i lost recovery while flashing gingerbread asop rom,now my phone wont boot past the x screen it stays stuck at the triangle with an ! point in it and the android icon on the bottom .Can some one please help me bring my n1 back to life?
Can you get to the bootloader screen?
How can u back your device
I hope u have usb mode enable under system settings.Anyway it may work agün ı use it so much for recovery.
So there is yourstep
1-First Download Htc Orginal non edited Htc N1 image.
2-Download Android SDK
3-Then bootyour device with trackball push with the same time man.
4-İts open a console mode which is recovery and etc.
5.Then open your commoand center(windows icon thne type cmd and change ypur directory to andorid sdk install folder=C:\android-sdk-windows\tools)
6-Orginal Steps But u can use my way:
7-When the commoand promt: Confirm fastboot connection fastboot devices
fastboot erase userdata--This step may not work but dont be panic man ok--
fastboot erase cache--This step may not work but dont be panic man ok--
8. Go to the directory that you stored your unzipped files.U need open and cmd and chnge diretory whre the file is okk--
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
9.Skip to step 13 if you want to keep recovery (assuming you have a modified recovery such as Amon_RA's recovery). If not fastboot flash recovery recovery.img--U use orginal one.You must need for frg83d update--
Step 10. fastboot reboot
After that u can update
Google are pushing out a 1.3MB FRG83 -> FRG83D patch OTA.
The file can be downloaded here - http://android.clients.google.com/pa...3.ecb21b75.zip
Just change your file name update.zipput sd card and install over recovery mod ok
I've had a quick look at the zip, in summary:
* Updates to the core and framework JARs
* Updates to the Dalvik VM and Webcore libraries
* Updates to the Email, Google Services Framework and and Market packages.
* A couple of other very minor patches
AFTER THAT U CAN ROOT YOUR DEVİCE
So u can install amonra after that ok.
Ps:Make some noise if its work okkk
yes but thats as far as it goes , when i press recovery it goes to the triangle screen
exactly what do i type cuz my fastboot isnt picking up my device
If you flashed Chris' AOSP build then you can use the recovery to flash a CM ROM and then use adb to flash a custom recovery.

But he doesnt have a custom working recovery and it seems his fast boot doesnt work. This is some predicament.
how would i get fastboot to work?
Isn't the triangle the recovery? Just rename a Cm ROM to update.zip on the root of your SD card and then go into recovery. It takes a bit but it should start loading the ROM. I did the same thing when I loaded the ROM.

Still stuck !
You stuck at the triangle of error screen when go into recovery?
That mean you can go into fastboot/bootloader?
Seems that you flash HBOOT 35.0017
I believe you need to be fully booted, or in recovery, and have usb debugging enabled to use adb.
To get fastboot to work, install the latest sdk drivers...

Nexus One broken power button rooting

Hi,
i have a nexus one with a broken power button, my warranty is out so there is no replacement, i want to root it to be able to install trackball wake s,o i can open the mobile and close it.
when i try to access the bootloader i hold the trackball then i take off the battery 2 to 3 time to switch on, and if i keep holding the trackball it access the bootloader screen.
but i can't choose bootloader because i need to use the power button to do so, i also tried the universal androot, i got a message saying failed! no ~~~fu goo~~~.
my OS version is 2.2.2, build number FRG83G.
please any help.
You can try manual root. I find it easier getting the drivers to install when the phone is in fastboot, but it isn't essential...

If you hold Vol Up + Track Ball and Remove & Insert your battery while your plug in to USB cable you can access Fastboot screen. But you will not be able to select any options because it needs power switch to select options.
many thanks danger-rat, i got a superuser access now on my list
i need one more thing if you please, how can i install cyanogenmod? because as i mentioned before i need trackball wake setting.
best regards,
The quickest way in my opinion is to install ROM manager from the market. You can then choose to install either Clockwork recovery image or Amon_RA. If you choose Clockwork then you can use ROM manager to automate backing up/flashing of new ROMs. Alternatively you can choose Amon_RA recovery, which I personally use. There are only a few differences other than layout but both are excellent recoveries.
Once you've installed a recovery image, you can either download CM7 manually and place it on your SD card or use ROM manager to download it. Depending on your choice of recovery you can use ROM manager to backup then flash or alternatively go into recovery manually and flash CM7 there. To reboot directly to recovery either hook the phone up to a PC and issue the command 'adb reboot recovery' or alternatively install an application like Quickboot which does the exact same thing through a GUI.
You shouldn't really have any problems once you've flash CM7 as it has a reboot to recovery option built in. Good luck
Edit: Oh and always, I repeat always Nandroid! It'll save you any headaches.
thanks man for the guide, it worked wonderfully, but what do Nandroid do?!

Bootloop cyanogen
Hi all,
after all your help guys i managed to get my self into trouble again , after i installed cyanogen i found out that the market is not there, and i couldn't add gmail account also, so i recovered the previous one.
i thought I'd reinstalled cyanogen again, so after a couple of failures in installing it "getting an android with and explanation mark over the head", the last one worked but it booted into a boot loop, i keep getting the cyanogen screen again and again.
can i do something with command line such as adb shell
best regards,
I ran into the same problem, it's a little long winded but I found this to work. Also, it seems your recovery is reverting to stock. This is because of files recovery-from-boot.p and install-recovery.sh. After flashing the ROM go to terminal and issue the following commands (Without #) :
# su (Making sure to accept the root privileges prompt)
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/null /system
# mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/recovery-from-boot.p.bak
# mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
# reboot
More info here.
Then flash Amon_RA recovery or Clockwork during fastboot commands from my first link. Rename the image downloaded to recovery and issue the following command during fastboot:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You can then follow the rest of the guide to return to recovery. If you ever end up in a bootloop again just follow the guide in the first link as is and you'll be back in recovery to recover a nandroid backup or flash again.
Also it seems you're missing the Googleapps (Gapps) package for Gingerbread. Flash this after flashing CM7.

Did you flash a compatible gapps package (Google apps)? The market and other Google apps are not distributed with Cyanogen ROMs, and have to be flashed separately...

Is your device unlocked? It must be unlocked to issue certain fastboot commands.
Which custom recovery do you have installed?

thanks guys, it got fixed.
so how can i install cyanogenmod, every time i try to install version 6.1.1 i get a android log with exclamation mark over it, any ideas
your help is really appreciated,
edit: i mean by fixed that i restored the original version of the device.
That's the stock recovery (hence my previous question)...
You need to install a custom recovery, and also delete the following two files:
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
/system/recovery-from-boot.p

Do you have a custom recovery already installed? Which one? If you don't, remember that in order to flash a new ROM, you need to install a custom recovery.

Sure, buddy.
You need to download a custom recovery, this is the option in Android that lets you erase all content in the device and do other things. With a custom recovery you can do even more things, like install .zip archives or ROMs, erase partitions, dalvik cache, etc, etc, a lot of things.
I personally use this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2552622
Since you are already rooted, I think that you are familiar with fastboot. In order to flash a custom recovery, you need to do this:
1. Download the custom recovery
2. If it's in a .zip, extract the archive so you have one *.img archive.
3. Then, copy that file to the folder where you have the fastboot.exe archive.
4. Open Windows command console and change the directory to the one where you have the files.
5. Turn off your device, then press volume down key and power key. Hold until you see a black screen with white letters. Connect via USB to your computer.
6. Run the following command in the command console of Windows:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Where "recovery.img" is the name of your custom recovery archive, for example, "philz_touch_6.22.7.img"
7. Wait about 6 seconds and in the console you should see something like "done", I don't remember exactly what does it says.
8. You are good to go. Turn off your device. Then press the volume up key and power button. Hold until you see the custom recovery interface.
After this point, you can flash the custom ROM of your preference.
In the Philz link above, it goes to our thread that links to the main one, from there, download the unified moto-msm8960 one labeled for xt925/xt926. Last time I checked it was more up to date than the native mb886 one (not surprising since our CM repo is gone).

[Recovery][LG-H960A] TWRP v3.0.2-0 (unofficial)

This is an unofficial TWRP port for LG-H960A.
Thanks to @KAsp3rd and @GROGG88
I DON'T TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY. YOU DO EVERYTHING AT YOUR OWN RISK.
READ EVERYTHING and MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE YOU START.
Instructions:
1. You must be on newest stock Marshmallow: H960A20a_00_0316.kdz
You can use LG Bridge to install official update, or download .kdz file HERE
2. You need to have bootloader ulocked.
Official instructions are here: ( Unlocking the Bootloader @ LG Developer )
Remember that this will completely WIPE YOUR DATA, you will LOSE WARRANTY and this operation is IRREVERSIBLE.
3. Flash TWRP.
I assume you got ADB and FASTBOOT drivers working and adb is paired (it should be if you completed step 2).
Connect your phone to your pc, open command prompt and reboot to bootloader:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Your phone should reboot and you should be welcomed by Fastboot Mode screen.
Now download the recovery file (below) to your pc, unpack (to get .img) and rename it to recovery.img and put it in folder where you got command prompt open and:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4. Boot to TWRP.
As on Marshmallow some fastboot commands are not working and LG is restoring recovery on every boot (so you cant use "adb reboot recovery" right now) you need to use one trick.
DO NOT REBOOT YOUR PHONE.
When still in fastboot from step 3 you need to turn off your phone completely. You can do that by holding power button or if that is not working take the battery out.
Now (put the battery in) and press POWER + VOL DOWN buttons. When you see LG logo release the POWER button (while still holding VOL DOWN) and press POWER button again.
You should see a screen which is asking you if you want to factory reset your phone. Don't worry - if you made everything correctly it should not wipe your phone.
Use volume and power buttons to choose YES (twice) - and you should see a TWRP screen (after a while)
WARNING: IF YOU REBOOTED YOUR PHONE AFTER FLASHING RECOVERY THIS STEP WILL REALLY ERASE ALL DATA. You need to flash recovery again (step 3)
5. (optional) flash SuperSU to get root.
Get SuperSU from official thread and put it in your phone.
While in TWRP from step 4 your phone should be recognized by ADB. Use below to move file to sdcard.
Code:
adb push BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip /sdcard/supersu.zip
Now in TWRP click Install, go to /sdcard/ and chooose supersu.zip. Follow instructions. After install you should choose to wipe cache/dalvik and reboot to system.
Your phone should be rooted now.
Download:
twrp-3.0.2.0-0-h960a.img.zip
(unpack .zip to get flashable .img)
Issues:
- Layout is wrong, status bar is being drawn on second screen.
- Date/time is wrong.

Didn't try xposed but I think it should work (if it's working on other V10 models - they are not that different). I just recently bought V10 and was disappointed in dpi, so I needed root to patch second screen to be dpi-independent.
Also: why would you want things like Viper4Android when you got really good sounding hifi dac onboard?

For sure it's enough to flash packages and get root. Xposed is independent from recovery so I can't say anything about that.

There is still a long way, right now second screen FCs are fixed, but layouts are still wrong. I don't know if I can fix it to be truly dpi-independent but I think 560 is optimal value for this screen.

I did try his method and it worked like a charm. Ok, you'll have to reflash TWRP if you want to use it but I'm sure it's just a matter of time until we have permanent TWRP like th T-Mobile V10 obviously has.
Thanks to rudi666 I have root, xposed, adaway and viper4audio up and running on my V10. And as there are no interesting custom roms to flash in my opinion it does not matter that I'd need to reflash TWRP. If you plan your flashing in advance you can flash all zip files in one go. No real need for TWRP afterwards.
Thanks guys. Unfortunately I see there is not much going on in V10 scene, and it's a shame.

Hm.. if you follow instructions you should get permanent TWRP, just try "adb reboot recovery" to test it if you don't want to risk clearing data when using button combination. There is a file called /system/boot-from-recovery.p which is 'restoring recovery' on every boot (that's why there is an info in instruction about not rebooting your phone the first time), but after all the steps this file will be patched. I don't remember if the first use of TWRP or flashing SuperSU does it, but you should get permanent recovery. If not you can always rename this file manually.

Hi,
I will try that again and see if I can get permanent TWRP. But as I said currently there is no real requirement for that. I flashed SuperSU and both files for xposed when I first booted into recovery and that is all I need at the moment.

-download and install adb (can get it here i guess. credit to @snoop005 )
-download twrp here (credit to maintainer @LuK1337) and put it in the ADB folder

-select install and browse for the .zip file location
-wait for the installation done and ure good to go
It works on my ZE601KL!!!
Thank you very much xyexiaoyuer in your first post
I would assume this process is the same for any of the variants for which the bootloader is already unlocked and assuming you use the correct TWRP image.
If nothing else, it should work for any Z00T phone. I'll try it on my ZE551KL tonight.

On the "fastboot boot recovery.img", I first got it to successfully transfer over something, then the second line said that it failed.
I continually did this and got the same results and my phone continued to say "fastboot" in the corner, so I wasn't sure if anything had happened.
I finally "gave up" and pulled the battery but I booted into the Recovery (Vol down + Power) and found that TWRP actually was installed and from there I flashed over SuperSU and was rooted in minutes.
Great job, and thanks! I may be a bit rusty with all this since this is my first Android device in about 3 years.

good to hear that bro!! probably it failed because of bootloader? hv u unlock it before? im sorry didnt mention it on my first post. my bad my bad
Boot twrp, not flash it to root?
Does anyone know if it his possible to just boot twrp from adb/ fasboot( not actually flash it), flash SuperSU to root my device, then reboot to stock to keep stock recovery ? My bootloader is unlocked.

Thanks, but I am pretty sure Flashing twrp writes over stock recovery and unless someone else has the stock image, you can't get it back. I don't know how to make a backup of stock recovery, that's why I wondered if only booting twrp will work.

if ure using ze601kl, i think the stock recovery can be downloaded here .. download according to your version of firmware of course =) let me know if its work for you. the last time im coming from cm13 to Lollipop im using recovery from there to write off twrp. hope this helps =)
Thanks, that's a great resource! I kind of hijacked this thread since I have the ze551kl. Even though its a zoot model, I'm reluctant to flash anything that is not the exact model firmware. Will the 601 image work for the 551?

sorry bro if its not being helpful

You can boot into TWRP without overwriting your stock recovery using:
HTML:
fastboot boot twrp.img
That would allow you to install SuperSU without actually installing TWRP. If you want to replace stock recovery with TWRP, you would use:
HTML:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Are you sure your phone is truely rooted and that apps needing root really works ?
Because in the official SuperSU page on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 , the developpers says your phone must already be rooted before flashing SuperSU.
Also, change the 2.76 Beta's link you gived for SuperSU in your tutorial to the 2.76 Stable version from my link to the official SuperSU XDA page.

Welp! now that i check back using "root check" apps it seems that the app hv some trouble to detect whether the phone is rooted. the last time everything was okay except for busybox. Perhaps because i rebooted the device? nvrtheless i will update the link and test the stable supersu given in the link

I don't think rebooting caused this.
The thing that makes me worry is that Busybox was not okay the first time you rooted your phone, because it must be one of the first thing that must be ok when you root a phone.
Have you got any updates on your side about making root really working ?

No problem, proofs are just great ! :highfive:
Also, check this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67978015&postcount=8
Because you also must allow SuperSU in ASUS' Autostart Manager, that may be the problem you also got.
But please remember: Do not post something that seems to work but is not, a Beta or something not stable to other people without a lot of checking first

Thanks to everyone's help and ideas and especially to @rczrider. On my ze551kl, I successfully booted the twrp.img in fastboot, did a backup through twrp, then installed supersu zip, and successfully rooted. No overwrite of stock recovery with all the root privileges. Perfect.
