RECOVERY IMAGE for SU760 ICS leak build for P920
This is all based on wkpark's thread here but focused only for p920.
ClockWorkMod(6.0.1.5) and TWRP(2.2.2.1) images as flashable images, to be used after you installed WKPark's alternate bootloader using his root signature. then we get full recovery back working on top of ICS.
Instructions on how to install the recovery.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Download wkparks fastboot loader from here
and extract contents into a temp folder.
1a. follow his instructions on how to install device drivers then goto step 2 or
1b.
remove battery, attach usbcable between pc and mobile.
Install the omap4430 driver, when you see a device appearing in "devicemanager" named omap4430,
rightclick on it and install driver from the 7z download and look in folder usb_drv_windows for the device driver.
remember to be fast to rightclick as it wil disappear and re-appear often until driver is installed.
1c. pc will find and install driver at next mobile restart (which is some seconds after.
Download the modified x-loader.bin,u-boot.bin,boot.img from this post and extract content into the temp folder from step1 and put files into the files directory found there.
extract attached p920-2-twrp.zip to the files folder you find in your files directory in the temp folder
extract attached p920-3-cwm.zip to the files folder you find in your files directory in the temp folder
remove battery and disconnect usb cable from mobile.
enter the temp you extracted to at step1, and run start_fastboot and select "2" in the menu shown in the commandline console.
attach usb cable
wait for the "start_fastboot to show alot of details and show booting 2ndboot.
attach battery when the 2ndboot information shows
fastboot v0.5 should be shown with a grey LG logo on your mobile now. , if not, go back and follow steps again.
at this stage, it can happen that "fastboot" driver for "LG Cosmo" device is installing but cannot find a driver, so you need to update driver through device manager, and point to the drivers, where the omap4430 driver was located too and update it.
Now its time to flash to new files run the 3 commands (one by one, do not try to copy/paste all 3 lines) shown just below as shown.
execute: fastboot flash x-loader files\x-loader.bin
execute: fastboot flash u-boot files\u-boot.bin
execute: fastboot flash boot files\boot.img
Lastly time to flash your recovery,
execute: fastboot flash recovery files\cwm.img
or
execute: fastboot flash recovery files\twrp.img
you cannot flash both images, as its not possible to have both recoveries installed.
11-nov-2012 - BOOTING INTO RECOVERY

You can always boot into recovery by holding 3D-BUTTON + VOL-UP down while pressing power-button to turn on mobile (without any cables attached to pc or power).
NOTES:

Click to collapse
- If you do happen to get a bootloop it has been mentioned now, that it can happen if you copy/paster fastboot commands into the commandline shell.
these steps do NOT change anything of your system or data. it is only the bootloaders and boot.img/recovery.img which will change for the ICS build.
- both recoveries got USB mount storage issues, you will have to transfer files to sdcard or internal memory through windows.
- IMPORTANT: do not try and restore boot.img partition (before this install) from your ICS backups, it will cause the mobile not to boot.
and you will have to do the fastboot steps flashing this boot.img again. (it is caused by the signature is no longer a match)

wkpark - for his incredible work on getting us a custom uboot (still signed but a big help) - we await the unsigned boot
milaq - for the initial work on recoveries for our devices and cwm/twrp is used as base in these 2 images attached.
xbsall - the original release of ICS for p920/su760 edition.

Here is an alternative:
- download p920-1.zip and unpack to a temp directory.
- download usb_drv_windows.zip and install the driver. This is done when you see "omap4430" appear for a few seconds in device manager, when you attach phone to pc using usb without battery inserted.
- when driver is installed, install one of the recoveries attached to post #1 and unpack to the temp directory too, and finally run "runme.bat" from the temp directory you unpacked. and follow guideline here.
- when you see the commandline information "wait 5 seconds", you re-insert the battery.
- When "fastboot v0.5" shows in the optimus 3D display, you might need to install the fastboot driver(device: LG Cosmo) as well also located in the same zip above where OMAP4430 is found.
- If you do not get the "fastboot v0.5" in the phone display, something went wrong. and you might need to double check that your device manager in windows also shows the "OMAP4430 FastBoot USB device"
Never mind, wainting for a fix. Thanks
sorry guys, my guide works fine and so does the TWRP image and getting into it. But problem is, it seems original recovery does a trick to reset the flag "booting into recovery". So problem now is that it keeps booting into recovery and it cannot boot normally if you get TWRP started once.
I flashed back the original recovery for now and it works fine, when i sign that image with the new signature as well. but not worth much
booting original recovery once and the flag is reset and normal boot is possible.
Ill dig into this and report back and upload a working image, when i figured out the workaround this sad behaviour.
First, thanks for the tutorial and for your work. I wanted to know if this tutorial could be installed boot.img compiled by myself.

yes, we can make custom boot.img as well with the solution he made. scripts and solution is posted in same thread mentioned in step1. i used it to create the recovery.img, but same goes for boot.img.
I hope u can find the solution for this. For some people like me, after we flash the bin, fls, root the device and use twrp. It just wont boot to recovery. So i hope this would work. But thanks again to xbsall for bringing ics to our device. At least now im on ics. Is there anyway i can use original recovery? So u can make a backup and restore if i need to reflash the ics bin again?
Thanks
Sent from my GT-P7500 using xda app-developers app
and it is working!!!!!
Finally got the continous reboot to recovery fixed!!!!
The images are bootable and do only reboot once into the recovery now.
the fix was to use some of the original binaries in the recovery so that mounts and binaries were started once.
So its all ok now.
I have also compiled a new CWM v6.0.1.5 from Recovery Builder clockworkmod, so its using latest release here, but it is not tested yet for full functionality.
This is nice. Thanks.

Thank you very much!! now it is late for me, but tomorrow i will follow your guide.
HELL YEAH! haha
HUGE THANKS, MAN!!! :victory: I was just about to flash the whole ROM again, just to make the TWRP work again :crying:
Im goin to start downloading and following the guide in a few min's.
I'll report as soon as im done with it :good:

im stuck on highways, but where, might sometime be a good question if you want to avoid it
you cannot get much help unless you give more, so that kinda ends here.
but it might just be that when the OMAP4430 driver is installed and it loads fastboot v0.5 menu, it could be that the "fastboot" driver also needs to be updated.
check your device manager and find any new android device, and refer to the drivers you got with the step1 package or from my post#2 (i believe it could be your LG Cosmo device)
hmm

you are not alone, its all those that do not understand the installation and wkpark's guide on using his tool. it is not that simple as just running an app. if drivers fail to install or you install the wrong driver, you never get fastboot opened, and if you never see fastboot menu on the phone when the tool starts and you insert battery as his guide says many things goes wrong.
but the instructions cannot be much more simple as they are, its 2 drivers its some steps in a command line to execute and thats pretty much it.
I will try it asap. I could go into fastboot mode last time so finger crossed. For those u have some problem going to fasboot mode try search the how to recover ur device to gb from xbsall. It works for me

Now its time to flash to new files run the 3 commands shown just below as shown.
fastboot flash x-loader files\x-loader.bin
fastboot flash u-boot files\u-boot.bin
fastboot flash boot files\boot.img
I could start fastboot with the grey logo and fastboot v0.5 on the top left of my device
when i type fastboot flash x-loader files\x-loader.bin
it says waiting for device
after i waited for 2-3 minutes the device just boot normally.
what did i do wrong?
thanks
edit:
i flashed all the command sucessfully
install rom manager
reboot into recovery and it boot loop
it only shows twrp logo and then reboot to lg logo
what should i do?
HOW TO INSTALL RECOVERY IMAGE WITH SUCCESS
I just installed it and it works as it should.
Here's how to do it.
1. Boot into fastboot
2. After installing drivers for OMAP and LG Cosmo, start the shell.
3. Execute lines one by one:
fastboot flash x-loader files\x-loader.bin
then
fastboot flash u-boot files\u-boot.bin
and
fastboot flash boot files\boot.img
EXECUTING THEM ALL WILL LEAD IN A BOOTLOOP, DONT WORRY ITS FINE
4. Boot into fastboot and flash them again.
fastboot flash x-loader files\x-loader.bin
then
fastboot flash u-boot files\u-boot.bin
and
fastboot flash boot files\boot.img
5. Flash recovery image.
fastboot flash recovery files\cwm.img
or
fastboot flash recovery files\twrp.img
After boot, install ROM Manager and reboot into recovery.
If you still have problems, go back and do everything right.

try and flash all the "fastboot" files as written once more, and maybe for testing purposes, try the cwm.img instead of twrp image. you can also switch to twrp when you see you got it working. i do not flash all files switching, only cwm or twrp images needs to be flashed.
When the bootloader is updated, we can actually flash boot and recovery images from a shell prompt now. as long as the image is with signature. but fastboot will just be a brick recovery step when you first got it working.
Hi guys..this is my first post and i am sorry to disturb the senior members but i am having a problem regarding "flashing boot.img"

Download UnlockRoot and root your device. After that download Flashtool and flash the boot.img from there. I'll put some steps in for that in a while.
UnlockRoot can be downloaded from here http://www.unlockroot.com/download.html
FlashTool can be downloaded from here http://androxyde.github.io/ (DON'T change the install path)
1) Root your phone with UnlockRoot, be careful as that program installs loads of junk toolbars if you aren't careful.
2) Extract the boot.img from the MIUI ROM to your desktop.
3) Install the drivers for FlashTool from this path (C:\Flashtool\drivers)
4) Connect your phone in fastboot mode. See below directions for that.
4a) Plug the large end of your USB cable into your computer.
4b) Take your battery out.
4c) Connect the small end of your USB cable to your phone while holding VOL UP (+).
4d) Put your battery in, a blue LED should show.
5) Click the lightning bolt in FlashTool and select fastboot mode.
6) Click select system to flash.
7) Find the boot.img you extracted and select it.
8) Wait for it to finish flashing.

Sometimes you install a new driver for a device that makes this device totally unuseable. In some cases it even disapears in Device Manager.
Here is what you do to show hidden devices:
Open Device Manager.
Click Show hidden devices on the View menu.
Devices that you install that are not connected to the computer are not displayed in Device Manager, even when you click Show hidden devices.
To see them do the following:
Close Device Manager if it is running.
Open a Command Prompt (CMD).
Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
Open Device Manager by typing the following command:
start devmgmt.msc
It is important to start Device Manager this way, because when you close the command prompt window, Window clears the devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1 variable.
In this Device Manager you now see all devices!
Then select OMAP install and reinstall the driver, be sure you have the correct driver for this. Simple tool from OptimusRS http://d-h.st/IqU (driver is inside)

Hi all,
Well I love my phone, just love it! BUT having bought it from China, like many I am stuck with the Chinese Model and firmware. Huawei Australia have assisted in unlocking the bootloader, now I am ready to root the phone. BUT, I have not had any luck sourcing a root method for it. Can someone please PLEASE help.
I am desperate as it keeps booting me out of Google Play Services, rendering my Huawei watch useless (ironic huh)

That sounds to easy, only question, how do I do that? Is there an instruction manual or guidance anywhere?
I have flashed other phones in the past but this one is stumping me.
I have looked for some of these methods only to be completing surveys that inundate me with spam and phone calls, only to be left without the downloads that I needed. Did I mention how much I love my phone?
Thanks again

Managed to root my phone.. even when I have updated the EMUI to B018, but there was an issue.. I tell you below
Step I follow from Chinese Forum below...
Preparation step :
1. download the tools from
https://www.mediafire.com/?9drsdo2f6hn4j34
2. Extract the content to your local. Note there are two folders :
- Folder 1 is for the tool that contains the TWRP recovery.img and the adb/fastboot tool,
- Folder 2 is for the original recovery
3. Copy the SuperSU zip to your phone (either in internal or external memory of your phone)
Installation step :
Step 0, unlock your bootloader (search around on how to do it)
1. Since I am using mac, somehow I don't need to install any driver, but if you using windows, install all the driver yourself
2. Enable the developer mode in your phone, and after that enable the usb debugging
3. Turn off your phone, and boot to fastboot (in off mode, connect the phone with your PC then press Volume Up and Power Button together)
4. Since now your phone has been connected to the PC, go to that Tool folder in respective of your OS, then overwrite the recovery with TWRP with fastboot command (install custom recovery) *note : for mac just add "./" in every command
- check the whether its connected : fastboot devices
- install TWRP : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. Restart your phone and boot to recovery
- restart : fastboot reboot
- after reboot, turn off your phone
- reboot to recovery : turn on your phone by holding Volume Down with Power button
- Now you are at TWRP
6. Install SuperSU (root)
- Install SuperSU zip that has already been copied to your phone using TWRP (use the Install mode)
7. Reboot the phone
- Use reboot function in twrp
8. Profit
Theoritically the above things works but I have some issues following the above :
- After step 4, after recovery being flashed with TWRP seems like my phone Boot Partition is being overwritten too
- So when I rebooted the phone, it boot to TWRP instead
- So I tried to re-flashed the recovery with the original EMUI rom recovery (go to the folder "2.P8Max_Official_Recovery(For_restoration)" to find the original recovery.img). Also note that in the this folder, the adb and fastboot is only for mac. The one for windows use it in the tools
- This is done by going to fastboot again, then do command : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- This time using the original recovery
- Now when I rebooted the phone, it goes to EMUI recovery, then I just clicked restart to system or something
- After this, everything fixed, and I have SuperSU install and phone rooted
You can follow the above, but do it at your own risk, I am not responsible if your phone brick hehehe..

BTW you will get in a Bootloop if your dont know how to exit I would not root your phone!
Sadly, this does not work for me. I did everything you suggested and in the command window I get nothing
I know the risks ( I think)

Thanks so much for your concern, I know. But I love the phone but need to make it more Android (Google) friendly as it has Chinese firmware which keeps ending any relationship I have with google play services thus rendering the phone useless (almost)
You have been so helpful

The recovery img file link did you downloaded it?
You must download it and but the recovery.img file in fastboot folder
Then rename it to recovery.img.
And open cmd orders from fastboot folder .
Just type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You must download the recovery file into the same folder that you ran your command and in your case "p8 max root". Make sure that the recovery filename is recovery.img instead of some other names.

Hello,
I have twice but now I am stuck on the Huawei logo and powered by Android screen. I can boot into Stock Bootload but no longer TWRP
even though I have reflashed recovery twice. Just chinese language and the EMUI screen with the three options
I think it's time to unroot and flash a new system and do it like i posted, then it will work!

I have a Koodo LG P500H. I am having a very hard time installing TWRP.
Firstly Play store doesn't work. It has this old thing called "Market" that has some apps, but not all. Market eventually gets updated to Playstore, but I can't even find TWRP manager. There was another app in the Playstore that I tried called ROM Manager. It said it installed TWRP for me. I restarted the phone, and nothing happened.
Restarting and Holding power/volume down/home will show a picture that seems to be some sort of recovery mode. But it only run for 1-2 seconds before the phone restarts itself. Nothing happens.
I tried to use ADB. But after rebooting the device it just restarted without ever going into recovery mode. So the flash command just get stuck at "Waiting for Device." Does this phone even have a recovery mode?
This phone doesn't support Odin.
I am used to using TWRP. Without it I cannot flash the phone into new OS.
And every single time I fail, the whole phone seems to have reformatted. So I have to enter in my wifi password and gmail again. All of that typing on a very small keyboard takes a lot of time. I had spent hours on this phone without getting TWRP working.
Please help.

The problem is when I reboot into fastboot (adb reboot bootloader), the phone will go into "phone off battery charging mode". It never actually goes into the bootloader.
Ok I did the following and it seems fastboot and TWRP works now. Be sure to enable USB Debugging on your P500.
1) Fastboot tutorial (I did everything here. I hit "ok" on the LGMDP 1.5 tool as needed. Do not wait till the countdown timer goes to zero.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15122833&postcount=100)?
FastBoot Tutorial
1. Please download this (or from here) file and unzip it in to any folder.
2. Start LGMDP 1.5 tool with the phone connected (you need to have USB drivers installed) and click on Select Port
3. A separate window should appear like the one below
Just click connect
4. Another window will take shape (LGE Mobile security) with lots of options (links)
Click on the first upper right Browse and select the folder in with you have unzipped the files. You will get some errors that some image, table or headers are missing. Just click OK and in the end everything that should remain selected is Partition Table, APPSBL Image Header and APPSBL Image.
Now just close the window (click on x)
5. Now you are back on the main window and here you'll have to click on Download
6. You are almost done and from now on everything should go on automatically.
NV Backup
Autorestart in Emergency\Download mode and upgrade the files (you selected on step 4)
NV Restore (the last step) Do not disconnect the USB cable until the restore is done
Wait for the phone to restart in normal mode (your current rom).
That should be everything you need to do to get fastboot enabled.

2) Install PdaNet+ (This was the only thing I did in this tutorial. It fixed the usb driver and the fastboot can then communicate with my PC.)

(Note: On top of Partition Table, APPSBL Image Header and APPSBL Image in step 4, I also selected the TWRP image file as my RECOVERY image. Not sure if this make a difference. )
(Note 2: I think you can also get the LG drivers here.)
3) Restart, hold down power + home to boot to the fastboot. Or in ADB type adb reboot bootloader.
4) Open ADB (while phone is still in fastboot mode) and type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (after downloading the TWRP image, renaming it and moving it to my ADB root folder. I am using TWRP 2.8.0.1 here.)
5) Type fastboot reboot
6) After the phone restarts, type adb reboot recovery. TWRP runs for me. Power+Home+Volume Down (3 button combo) also works now. (Previously this would reset the phone.)
Hey Man, im glad it worked. I could use your help.
I bricked my phone and need the restore file, Do you think you could make a backup from TWRP and upload it?
I would be super grateful.
Thank you.
Here is a zip with CM11, twrp 3.0.2.0 and Gapps for CM11.
Its the best rom I found.

Hi. What is your "brick" like? Does your TWRP still run? If yes you can just copy a custom OS into your Microsd card and install it from your Microsd.
You can also use ADB push to move files from your PC to the phone.

If you TWRP doesn't run, you need to install that first. Do steps 3 and 4 in the above post to boot into bootloader and install TWRP.
3) Restart, hold down power + home to boot to the fastboot. Or in ADB type adb reboot bootloader.
4) Open ADB (while phone is still in fastboot mode) and type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (after downloading the TWRP image, renaming it and moving it to my ADB root folder. I am using TWRP 2.8.0.1 here.)
