[Q] Lg revolution Revotoolkit/clockworkmod issues please help!

I am trying to install Gingervolt on my Lg Revolution and i installed clockworkmod and revotoolkit on my phone but clockworkmod doesnt say my phone? and when i try to install recovery on revotoolkit it says it installs but when i reboot my phone the only thing i ever get is after the Verizon splash screen and after that it just goes to a black screen and i have to take my battery out. i cant get it into recovery mode even when i do it manually. please if anyone knows anything please let me know i've been stuck for about a week.
any luck on this? seems to be the same thing i'm encountering
I'm having a similar issue. I used the LGrevolution all in one package to root my phone. This root package is supposed to also install CWM.
The root package says that it complete successfully and restarts my phone, however only the superuser app is available and no CWM. When I DL CWM on my own it doesn't list my phone when I go to install flash recovery.
I have no clue where to go from here. please advise.
I know I would have a better chance of getting an answer to this if I had access to the forums for my phone. Instead they throw all of us non-regular users into the "we never look here" channel until we make 10 posts. lol
Flashing GingerVolt
I am currently rooted on the LG Revolution, I was wanting to try GingerVolt V1.3 on my phone i understand that you have to download MT's the only question that i have is how do i save the .zip file to my external SD card?
I can get to CWM recovery just fine and back up my current ROM and wipe all current data (Have done it once) but when i go to update from SD there are no files found. What am i doing wrong?
Thank You in advance for any help
idk if this will help but?
you are all correct out phone is not listed this not being fully open for the lg revo but if i remember correctly I just selected the first device on the list it is kinda has a Ect. ect. ect after so that ppl with all other phones can use it too the first one is like the universal if yours isnt on the list? it worked for me now I cant remember what I did and i am sort of a noob at the whole rooting thing but after i did this reboot in to recovery didnt show on the pop up window when i held down the power button so i had to restart i think a few times maybe power off all the way or something you wont hurt it so i say try till it works if you are rooted you wont screw anything up? i havent in a yr of having the phone and i dont really know what im doing still half the time?
LG Revo stuck on CWM-based Recover v5.0.2.7
I was trying to install Gingervolt 2.0 and thought I followed all steps to complete the task but now it's stuck on the CWM menu and I cannot do anything else. I tried formatting and starting over but now it's just stuck on the CWM main menu. Help please! n00b will be a n00b! Won't let me mount external sd card in order to copy Gingervolt 2.0.zip to phone to re-install. I'm pretty sure this is bricking? I have no idea. Thought I read enough to root but missed a step in the process.
UPDATE: Was able to install Gingervolt 2.0 by MTMichaelson, installs files, Writes symlinks and permissions, Replaces kernel, Formats cache and dalvik, unmounts, done.
After that I am stuck on what to do. Please help! Any would be much appreciated!

[Q] Having problems when trying to ROOT Moto G LTE x1040

Hi, I'm relatively new to this forum and I've been trying almost all day to root my phone...
First, I had problems trying to get a working recovery (they just crashed to random colors/or loaded fine and then rebooted like nothing happened). Tried with CWM Recovery but it seems this model is not supported atm, tried with TWRP v2.8.3.0 and also crashes... ATM the only custom recovery that has started without going haywire is TWRP v2.8.0.0 (at least for my phone).
I prefered using 'fastboot boot recovery.img' before 'flash' since it's the first time I'm trying to root a phone. The recovery mode starts okay and I also placed the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip in the internal storage before hand. I try to install the .zip file and all goes well, no errors and a blue 'Successful' message. This is where the 'root' procedure fails. Since you can reboot or go home to check other stuff I just tried rebooting the first time and it asked me that I had a SuperSU in the device and that if I wanted to install it to have root. I obviously swiped to install it and it displayed for a split of a second the window from before and just shut down and rebooted...
I tried several other methods to try and root my phone after this failure, but none worked. I checked again if trying this procedure would serve a purpose but I got the same thing always. But since I saw the process so many times I could see for a moment a red line saying something like 'E: failed to copy su binary to /system/bin (...)' but couldn't read more because it was a split of a second there xD. I googled this weird error and I found that my /system is in read only state and not writtable... But to change it to writtable I need root too it seems <_<)
So, any help? I'm sorry if this long text makes someone just look away but I don't really know how to explain my problem in more simple words xD. Any help will be appreciated .
EDIT: Forgot to say that my phone has its bootloader unlocked already and it has USB Debugging enabled.

(Root (Supersu/Super User) zip file - Method)
I downloaded Superuser.zip file with my Cell and then I did everything perfectly as video directed, It gave message saying "Successful". Then Rebooted My Phone and from that Time, My phone constantly showing Animation of CM-13 Loading/Booting Screen. Its like forever, So Confused what to do!?
In addition I tried everything I can I went to fastboot options and then went on recovery but it doesn't starting TWRP Screen. Anything doesn't work, Factory, Recovery, BP Tools, QCOM, And All just gives ****ing Normal Boot up and then Forever CM Booting Animation!!!

TF300T Stuck in a Infinite Loop (HELP)

hello everyone im having a issue with my ASUS Tablet...
I got it off some guy from Kijiji for $100 It was working fine untill i noticed that the dock was not charging... So i did some reading online and people said that a Hard reset made it work for them and to do a cold boot.... So i did all that Via TWRP.... I did a full wipe of everything it could not even find the Partitions anymore... But all partitions are back and now its stuck in a Boot Loop... I can Access TWRP Just fine ( Power/Volume down ) all that works...
I tryed to Downlode a few Roms i tred all US Factory roms but they all Instantly Fail...
I downloaded KatKiss for the TF300T and it Would flash for about 5-10min then fail... This is the farthest one i have had flash... all others are instant fail...
I put the ROM on my SD Card and go to install on TWRP and select the rom and hit Flash...
Nothing is working....
What do i do... it was working fine.... all i did was a Wipe But i think i wiped to much lol....
Any advice on what to do ? Im not to sure what Version its on or anything...
stupid me i dint do any research lol... Using TWRP to reset is vary bad... Please can anyone help me...
I live in edmonton ,AB so if there are any pro ASUS Firmware people that would like to help me that would be great
also it says THIS DEVICE IS UNLOCKED on the top left
is this what i did ????? hears a Post from XpLoDWilD
- I wiped everything but didn't put a ROM on my sdcard, what to do?!
Calm down, you're not bricked, you're just a bit dumb. Go in "Install zip from sdcard" until you reach list files, so the sdcard is mounted. Then, open a command prompt, and do "adb push c:\path\to\the\rom.zip /sdcard/". Wait, and once done your rom.zip will appear in the files list when you go back and forth in files list.
found out all i need is a rom now.... i had time to do some research and i installed TWRP/Fastboot/ADB And im just trying to find a rom that will work
FIXED The Issue PLEASE REMOVE ADD....
Figured all of this out on my own....
