Towelroot fails (Maybe said unsupported device not sure.). When I try to boot to recovery, using ADB commands adb shell
reboot recovery, I get this image with the green Android with red triangle (Search from Google, can't add any links yet.)
Which version of the OS are you running? I have a different version (D415) but after I upgraded to 5.0.2 Towelroot wouldn't work anymore and I had to try using King Root, which worked successfully. Maybe give King Root a try?

Hi guys!
I reckon many people knows this, but I'm starting this thread for ignorant people.
I'm not responsible for any error. Don't forget this: You must be careful, otherwise you can brick your device
Starting...
If you want to install custom recovery, you should unlock bootloader but to do this you must be rooted
HOW TO ROOT?
Download framaroot here for the root device. This app can root many device. --->> http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/framaroot/root-framaroot-one-click-apk-to-root-t2130276
Download and install it to your phone. Then click open. You should select "Install SuperSU" from above section then click "Gandalf". Other sections don't work on our devices. After click it, you should see this message "Succes SuperSU installed. Reboot!" if you see this message please restart your phone. Now you are ready for unlocking bootloader.
HOW TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER?
If your device is E610, download E610.zip from attachment and extract E610.bin. If your device is E612, download from attachement E612.zip and extract E612.bin to your internal storage's root directory.
(/mnt/sdcard/ directory). Then, download "Terminal Emulator" from Google Play Store and open it. Type this commands. Please be careful! If you type wrong, you can brick your device!
FOR E610
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/E610.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
FOR E612
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/E612.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
SUCCES! You've unlocked your bootloader! Now we can install custom recovery.
HOW TO INSTALL CUSTOM RECOVERY?
Download custom recovery from atachement. What do you want. Then copy it to internal storage's root directory. (/mnt/sdcard/ directory)
Then type this commands: (This is same in both.)
FOR CWM RECOVERY
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/cwm-6.0.5.0.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
FOR TWRP RECOVERY
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp-2.8.0.0.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
FOR PHILZ TOUCH RECOVERY
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/philz_6.58.7.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
AND SUCCES! YOU CAN INSTALL ROM-APP-ANYTHING-ZIP FILE IN YOUR CUSTOM RECOVERY!
GOOD LUCK!

Hi, I have tried to install CWM in many different ways already (see this post), but when I try to enter recovery mode, only the two back/menu buttons briefly light up, and the phone goes dark again.
I have downloaded your e610.zip, and it contains the same files I already tried (found also in other .zips and .rars). Should this work for a phone that was already updated to 4.1.2 (stock ROM so far)?

I'm not sure, I've never worked for L5. This is just a guide for how-to. You may ask to the other ones or open a thread at Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting if you still haven't and wait for replys.
Good luck.
My E612 has some software problem. Somehow device remembered apps installed, settings, messages everything used once and now stuck on to it. Factory reset dosen't works. Everthing remains the same even after factory reseting. No root, bootloader locked. Complete stock. Any help is appreciated.

Flashing stock system over the current on your device might help you. You can search "firmware updating optimus l5"
Hello,
I have a LG L5 E612g and I followed this guide to unlock the bootloader (only that) and the result was that the phone boots like always, but after a while it reboots randomly. According to what I have read that is common when you use the wrong .bin. The thing is that there is not much information available about the differences between E612 and E612g (apparently it is a variant, maybe to South-America), and as a result I didn't know whether I should flash the e610.bin or the e612.bin. I tried the latter... and it failed.
What do you guys think? How can I revert to normal, do I have to flash the stock rom again? Should I try the e610.bin instead?

Which baseband you're on? I had same thing when I flashed baseband which doesn't match with my device model. Make you sure you're on v20 baseband. I'm hoping it occurs cause of this fault.
Please help root.

many thanks
Hi,
I tried for hours installing a custom onto the P880 (rooted Android 4.0.3). It doesn't work.
I cannot boot to fastmode. None of the commands I found works:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
adb reboot-bootloader
adb unlock-oem
When I use them, the phone will just reboot.
I managed to install CWM 6.0.1.1 (with the app "LG 4X Recovery") but I get a "Status 7" error. I tried to fix it by editing the updater-script but that didn't help.
So I tried to install a newer CWM with the ROM Manager or the TWRP with the TWRP Manager. Both failed.
Do you have any ideas what I can do?
Thank you!
Simon
I have no freakin idea where I got this file from but I'm sure I used it to unlock my BL.
Download the file, extract it,
Make sure ADB is enabled in options > developer options.
run cmd.exe as ADMINISTATOR.Type cd <directory where extracted rar is at (e.g. cd E:\P880_JB_UnLockBL\)>
Code:
adb shell
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
Enter each command above seperately.Make sure adb shell works, otherwise try to install the included driver first.Do a reboot of your PC & phone both after driver installation and try these steps again.

You can't install rom or recovery or unlock bootloader with android 4.0.3.You must unroot,update to 4.1.2 and try again!Just download lg update tool from the LG's p880 site and install stock 4.1.2 and try again to root,unlock,install recovery and tjen rom.
Good Luck

First thing you should do is upgrading to JB, becuase in ICS we are unable to unlock bootloader. For upgrading should official LG software should work good.

You dont need kingoroot.
If you have never been rooted before just ut towelroot and bruteforce the root. Reboot and you're done. Install supersu from playsotre enjoy!

Install TWRP First. Then Flash the supersu zip file(Google it version 2.46). Done you're rooted.

I used Titan Tools to root my XT 1068 but I could not get it to install TWRP. Had to use some other method.
Dear all,
got a LG D405 with Android 5.0.2 and Version V20b here. Wanted to install LineageOS. First I enabled USB Debugging and rooted the device. Then I used ADB to flash the newest Version of TWRP (twrp-3.1.1-0-w7.img). I typed:
adb push twrp-3.1.1-0-w7.img /sdcard/twrp-w7.img
*then*
su (+granting rights on the phone)
dd if=/sdcard/twrp-w7.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
Then I shut down the phone and reboot using the key combinations (vol down + power).
After rebooting into recovery mode, nothing happens. I see a blue screen for a fraction of a second, then it goes black and off. Then I can restart the phone normally. How can I get a working TWRP? Thanks for any help!!!

No. Basically I follow this guide here:
lineageos.org/devices/w7/install
Now I read a lot here in the forum and think the guide there is very misleading and forgetting a lot of steps. I am very confused because the issue seems to be very complicated and there are so many different versions and solutions. Can someone please tell me which is *the* guide to follow for my phone (LG D405 with Android 5.0.2 and Version V20b)?

So there is no guide for this and the lineageos one is terrible. So what you have to do basically is get root. Unlock bootloader look around on xda and you have to get patched aboot for your device and stock rom version and flash it. Then flash twrp. With twrp wipe system cache and data partitions. Then flash lineageos and if you want root flash root zip. And if you want gapps flash that too then reboot and setup lineageos.
So, since my device is already rooted... Can I now just flash with a new aboot or do I have to install another stock? As my Version is V20b, this post here says I just can use V20a.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/help/aboot-zip-lg-d405-v20b-t3533401
Is this correct? Or do I have to get a totally different version first? If so, which one? My IMEI tells me this:
Model:LGD405
Suffix:ADEUOP
Latest Firmware40520B_00
I really appreciate any hints. Thank you.
EDIT:
Now I used this file here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54358527&postcount=2), Version 405_v20a with my v20b and it worked perfectly. After I followed this guide here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/general/guide-guide-to-unlocking-bootloader-l90-t2852917) and could install LineageOS 14! Works!!!
