[Q] LG Vortex Recovery/Rom Question!

So I had my phone rooted and everything was fine. And when I tried to flash another Rom onto it my phone got bricked. I fixed it back to stock. I rooted my phone again but I can't seem to get the custom recovery back on it from the "All In One Recovery" thread. But my question is when I use Clockworkmod my phone kind of bricks when I try to recover an old backup I made with the custom recovery. I don't know why it does that, and also when I pick a recovery to flash with clockworkmod which one do i pick? I'm sorry for all the typing but any help would be so appreciated.

////DID U FACTORY RESET,WIPE DALVIK CACHE, AND THEN WIPE BATTERY STATS THEN TRY RESTORING??????If NOT TRY IT....IF it has happend twice or more with the bricking, Your backup files are most likely damaged.. 1st thing I would try is fixing permissions with cwm maybe their not damaged, it could be permmisions got screwd up....."personally if u can still go custom I would just find a good rom to serve my needs, BUT!! IF U CANT EVEN GO CUSTOM, YOU WOULD HAVE TO USE LG'S SOFTWARE KDZ FIRMWARE TOOL ......IF UR LUCKY YOU CAN GET THE KDZ STRAIGHT FROM LG'S SERVERS IF NOT "ITS TIME TO GO HUNTING....BACK TO WICH FLASH RECOVERY TO CHOOSE ON CWR TRY THE 2 OPTIONS THAT HAVE MULTIPLE PHONES AND OTHERS IF THAT DONT FLASH THEN TRY THE ones closest ,if not try new alltouch or older flashes....................

[Q]factory reset and will get in bootloop

hello i have big problem i do factory reset in 28c and i have ICS Bootloaders (wkpark's 1.25a Bootloaders) .and ICS CWM Recovery i install ics - 28b.zip and now afetr restart i will get in bootloop.... what i must do for fix it????

Only way i know how is , use the resurrection guide but instead of flashing the ported ics , flash v28b.
This will erase everything , so be mindful of your data.
Don't worry or panic , it's unbrickable with wkpark bootloaders unless it has hardware damage.
If you can't do it , i can help you via teamviewer.

If you have a card reader (or another phone that can accept your external SD), you can fix this. See my guide (link's in my signature) and read the troubleshooting section. You will find a flashable zip that breaks the loop. Copy it to your SD, put the SD back into your phone and flash the zip in recovery. Your phone will boot up. You must then flash a new recovery.
Sorry I didn't see this earlier!

Please help

Can anyone tell how to flash permenent cwm recovery i have bricked phone thrice because i cant take backup of my rom please help

Since sony phones don't have recovery partition, you wont have 'permanent ' recovery..
But you can flash a split kernel, with recovery in it. Then you will have recovered as long as you don't flash a new kernel, or return to stock.

You surely can use the likes of X parts or such apps to get temporary recovery however for a permanent cwm -the only solution remains to flash a custom kernel(.img file extension)
Then you'd not have issues doing the flashing stuffs
Cheers
Have a read of this thread carefully

Brother may have messed up my phone!

Hey everyone,
My little brother is trying to learn more things about mobile devices and wanted to have a go at my old piece of junk, stock optimus one p500h. So i let him have a go and now it's not working so here is the problem.
First he rooted it and that worked fine with gingeroot and then proceeded to install romanager which bricked the phone but he was able to recover the phone with a recovery.img and using LGMDP-v1.5 and emergency mode.
After that he installed some android system recovery thing "RA-thunderg-1.2.0-gnn" not sure what the software was originally, regardless he tried flashing from the flash from zip from sdcard and used a cyanogenmod zip which he said worked and then the phone said success and rebooted.
Now the phone just sits at the cyanogenmod loading screen and will not boot.
I am able to get into the recovery menu with home,down and power and emergency mode also works.
Where did he go wrong and what does he need to do in order to get this to work properly? Thanks for your help everyone and sorry if the post is a bit disjointed i'm trying to translate what he's saying into the post xD

If running a Windows PC and the device can boot in to fastboot, you can use Android Flash Recovery ( link in my signature ) to flash another recovery image. There are some more complicated ways using ADB, but well try to avoid them ATM You can also use LGMDP to flash a different recovery image. There are several floating around here at XDA.
As for where he went wrong, I cannot say. Piece of advice, if in doubt - don't do it.
Have you tried booting to recovery and wiping cache and dalvik cache then attempt to boot to Andorid?

thanks for the fast reply, looks like recovery is gone now? I had attempted to clear the cache though. Would you mind giving me a step by step as im unsure of what i need to do now xD not sure what i need downloaded or to do what with what after my brothers done all this haha

Just flash a recovery from LGMDP for your phone.. then download a rom for your phone and wipe everything in recovery and flash the rom
And do not flash stock rom from kdz or lgmdp if you cannot boot your phone. It has high chances of bricking

Cm7(except a very old one from mik_os), stock gb and up requires new baseband. You can search for baseband fix and install through recovery ( I don't remember if it's old bb fix or new bb fix, try for yourself )
You can also search how to install new bb permanently but it's more difficult and has(I think) chances of bricking your phone

[q] [help me] plssssss.. :(((((

HI GUYS I REALLY NEED HELP PLS READ MY STORY :
I love flashing custom rom so as i've seen some guides here i succesfully achieve it and recover if i have boot loop because i made a nandroid backup. So i became confident of flashing things and stuff like that . But this time i try to install Xposed Framework in RS PROJECT MOD V2.0 (Not popular rom) and it bricks my phone so i wasn't worried b'cuz i know that i can still recover using TWRP so i wipe data , factory reset and wipe dalvik , the usual thing to do when restoring back up , So i restore my stock rom which is Alcatel Pop c7 and it was successful from what the TWRP Recovery said then i reboot , and i noticed that there was no logo of alcatel stock rom showing for 3mins unlike before it shows the logo instantly. So i turn off the phone and i go back to recovery but this time i remember that everytime i restore my stock rom it goes back to stock recovery so i can't access the TWRP again i really need help ..
So my question is : How can i restore my phone using the stock recovery? Or is there any other way to recover it except that? pls i'll do anything for this phone cuz im already poor :'(
sorry for bad english..
Note: the custom rom RS PROJECT MOD V2.0 didn't brick my phone it brick after restoring my stock rom bcuz of xposed

Well you could try flashing twrp recovery and installing a different rom which should get rid of the problems you made. Or you could wipe everything via fastboot and restore the stock firmware again.

Can you get into the bootloader of your phone? If so get a computer and flash the recovery via fastboot.
