recovery help - Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

just did a clean install v20d via lgmdp and then rooted it, thus loosing all the custom recovery (CR)
now here the problem arises...
installed ROM manager and found that it isn't showing the CR for new baseband (BB), just shows for the old one
installed goo manager and found that it still isn't compatible with our device
i found a file "twrp-thunderg-2.0.0alpha1.img" on internet while searching for device compatibility
now what should I do to install custom recovery?
all i have is .img files for both clockwork and twrp. I don't trust twrp coz they still aren't showing official status for our device
update -
i flashed recovery via lgmdp tool
but still, whats with the recovery mess?

Not sure. Possibly not supported anymore.
You can also use shinobisofts recovery flash tool.
I had done same as you and used it to flash cwm.

He figured out he could also flash a recovery with LGMDP.

The recovery is a mechanism to repair or restore the devices OS. It is also utilized to install ROMs and updates.

sorry, what I meant was regarding the incompatibilities with the recovery. That was kind of you to explain what recovery is.

Im stuck in TWRP boot recovery

Help,
I rooted my VZW s3 and all was good until i tried to update to a CM10 rom..
It would not install the zip file.. I followed all the guides about backing up the imei file ect.. and I used the correct recovery.. it would not install..I kept getting erros with the ROM zip files I downloaded. so i tried the ez recovery app and installed TWRP.. I like that and have used it in the past.. well I forgot that I cant restore a backup from CWM. so now im stuck bootlooping into TWRP recovery.
Any help?
I was installing TWRP while my GF was talking to me. Not that I'm blaming her or anything but I failed to add the "dd" during the manual install. Now I'm downloading the stock rom and going to try Odin to get my phone functioning again.
Twrp doesn't support kexec, so it will only boot stock based ROM's
sent from locked bootloadrer SGS3 running a custom kernel

Not saying this will help you, but it did with me. I have no idea how.
Tried vol down/home/power and it booted into the custom rom screen. Cancelled that. It rebooted normally..

[Q] Back to stock recovery B137SP03 without recovery image

Hello all,
I have been going slightly mad today trying to get my mate 7 2GB back from CWM to stock recovery. The main problem is that I do not have a stock recovery image. But after being shown where to find one, I noticed that I could not get it successfully flashed either.
Since I do not really know how to do this, I used flashify, but that did not work and either returned me to the CWM or sent me to rescue.
Can someone help me to a) get a stock recovery image for the Mate 7 version MT7-L09 and b) show me how to properly flash it?
Find stock recovery is easy.. only a question why flashify don't work for you? It work fine for me... your device is rooted?

Please guys help me to . i have that same problem i have been trying to flash the stock recovery again but i couldn't even with flashify after i flash i takes me to bootloader screen and it shows me a fun_error message

A way to find the stock recovery is : download the whole B137SP03 Rom from the Huawei site , and use a tool called "Firmware unpacker for Huawei" whit this tool you can extract the recovery.img from the Rom and try to flash it using flashify

Do you tried flash via fastboot ?
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Or try to use this tool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mat...custom-recovery-tool-mt7-l10-l10-mt7-t3022424
This should work.
The fast boot just stucks at waiting for device
And the tool you send says that the stock recovery works only on tl_09 and my device is tl_10

Ok, I couldnt access your firmware unpacker, but I did manage to use the tool you suggested.
I have a different recovery screen, but is this the right one? It has EMUI large in centre screen and the options reboot system now, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.
If this is the correct one, and I am already on the D137SP03 ROM, I should be able to locally update right?
I tried this, and got a lot further this time, but my phone gave an error message during the update. Do I need to flash the original B137SP03 rom again, even though I am already on it?
I think you maybe can flash using adb commands and also you need adb drivers working

That's right... you have stock recovery... sometimes the update fail if the UPDATE.APP is on the internal storage.. try to flash from a micro sd card or re-download the update ....

No luck so far.... I've downloaded the update.zip, put it in my mnt/ext_sdcard/dload folder and start the local update. It begins OK, as the progress bar moves along. But after about 25% it shoots to the end, and then I get an update failed screen with a red exclamation mark.
What could I try to get it to work??

Ok, I just reinstalled the B137P03 version from the how to install lollipop thread, and that went successful. Now going to try the update.zip! Keep you posted
Ah, now we're talking It seems to have worked. Phone is now showing 'Android is upgrading' and 'optimising app.....'
Great! It does seem strange I had to reinstall the B137SP03 rom, but that did the trick!

Bricked phone help

So I got my note 5 and tried installing clockwork recovery and now my phones bricked. When trying to flash the stock rom using odin, it always crashes and says fail.
Has anyone had the same problem?
It sounds like your phone is running the newer firmware. You have to flash the full ogd firmware, oa6 firmware will not flash over any of the newer ones.

Clockwork recovery isn't supported for the Note 5. Twrp recovery is what you have to use.
At this point, you can try to flash twrp through Odin or get the stock tar and go back to stock and start the root and flash recovery process again.
Yea what he said. Stock via odin and restarting. The easiest thing would be is to download twrp and flash it via odin. The system/rom should be fine it just the recovery

Have you tried to search for ROMs for your phone model?
Google or Search at www.needrom.com
Take a note....
Do you included your kernel in cwm (i mean porting cwm)??
you have to flash stock recovery or working cwm recovery optionally(may be) boot.img
1. If u found a stock rom,confirm that the rom is working
2. Don't touch preloader coz it will make things worse...
3. use latest version of SP flash tool.
4. if u can't find a stock rom find a clone of your phone and use that (Kernal may be upgraded or downgraded)
5. Post a request of a boot.img and recovery.img

How to install stock recovery without losing data?

I am using Peter's recovery and wish to go back to stock recovery as installing ota is tiring. How can I do that without losing data and files?
If you are using official MIUI ROM, dirty flashing full recovery ROM will also overwrite custom recovery with stock recovery.

are you rooted?
if ues then just unroot using magisk unistaller and reboot it will restore stock recovery then use ota to update then again you can flash twrp peter recovery by fastboot and boot in to recovery and then flash magisk it will again have both recovery and root
my device shows encrypted status

Just download the fast boot rom from the official website and flash it by mi flash tool.
And during flashing it select flash all except data.
And you will lose nothing and your recovery will be restored.
Then you can flash ota by that.

I have one solution
simple
just things needed are:
1. miui stock recovery img
2. vbmeta
next,
1. First flash recovery image.
2. Then flash vbmeta image.
what does vbmeta do. it actually saves the recovery image after flashing new recovery.
3. Finished reboot
