4. Select the LG Optimus 3D (No Other devices from LG!!!)
5. An window will be opened witch
asks you if you want to give Rom Manager
Superuser rights, give it.
6. Wait till the progress bar is full.
7. You have no CWM-Recovery
BACKUP
If you want to install a new ROM all apps
will be lost so you'll need to backup them

RESTORE APPS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHB5-9zoqNU&feature=youtu.be
If you want to restore faster you need the permium version
or the second way to restore apps
RESTORE APPS
This method is faster than the free version
of Titanium Backup but there could be problems
like force closing apps or annoying stuff like this
1. Boot into recovery with Rom Manager or
shut down the phone and press volume down +
3d + power (sometimes a little bit tricky)
2. Go to backup and restore and select advanced
restore.
3. Select the backup with the apps you want to restore.
4. Select restore data.
5. Reboot
INSTALL NEW KERNEL/OVERCLOCKING
1. Download a Kernel from the Forum (Titan Kernel is great!!!)
2. Boot into reckovery
3. !!!Make a Backup!!!
4. Select install zip
5. Select the zip
6. Reboot
After that you can take a look on this:

problem restoring
Hi ive recently ran into problems with my O3d and i need to do a recovery on it. I had rom manager on it and i backed up everything before it went wrong but now all my apps and games and stuff has gone including rom manager!!! Ive also tried the volume down and power button but i cant seem to access the restore part of it only wipe data/factory reset. I know all my stuff is still on my memory card though which makes it the more frustrating lol. Is there anything that can help me with this or is it a case of I just have to start again??? Any help would be grateful. Cheers

You could install a new rom using kdz method then root it then install clockwork recovery then enter clockwork recovery and restore
Hello...
Nice guide you have. Overlaps with manbearpig's somewhat, but you have the video tutorials
For flashing CWM, I recommend using this instead. Prevents the common problem where ROM Manager shows LG Optimus 2x rather than Optimus 3D and the user flashes it anyway, bricking/bootlooping the phone.
You have only included installation of custom roms, You may add installation of stock roms by kdz method. first do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473781&highlight=kdz then http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287236 and get kdz from here http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=2
thanks for the posts I will add this tomorror or in a few hours because I am now online with my phone and it is to much to write

so u r on a stock rom which is rooted and you dont seem to be able install cwm and by pressing volume down and power you are entering default android recovery...right
have you tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1482713 for installing clockworkrecovery?

Here is a step by step with roms included for the 4.5 quattro Not the HD or 5.7 HD maybe soon.
Disclaimer: These ROMs/Recoveries are only intended for the BLU Quattro 4.5, or the K-Touch v9(which is the chinese version) These WILL NOT work on the 4.5HD or 5.7HD devices(I will release ROMs/Recoveries specifically for your device at a later time)
Drivers: https://copy.com/BUMmsS9rhLJe
English Recovery: https://copy.com/XZxTDht2lQiz
Gapps(4.2) https://copy.com/utkbZgwRpsVB
Gapps(4.1) https://copy.com/pSd8SsqU9pdI
ROMs With Less Bugs: MIUI v5 (4.1) https://copy.com/sbmcN6PHwFfi CM/AOKP Hybrid? JB (4.1) https://copy.com/VeLz1VLbkNNI Shendu ROM 4.1(Modified/Tweaked by me) https://copy.com/NwiFnlO8JAek
ROMs With More Bugs: Cyanogenmod 10.1 (4.2) https://copy.com/8kt2EAU2ll8y
1- Download the drivers from link posted above, and extract it to the folder of your desire. Now turn the phone off, and hold Vol+ (volume up button) and Power button at the same time until you see a green screen, then release both buttons immediately. You should now be in APX mode(nvflash) it will be a black screen
2- Connect phone to computer via usb cable. Now you should get a pop-up window about installing drivers, you're going to want to choose to browse computer for driver software manually. Then choose let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer, and click have disk. Now you're going to browse to the location where you extracted the drivers to, and click on it(Ignore warning if it pops up, and choose install)
3- Assuming everything went as planned, now download the recovery and extract it to the location you desire(must be in a directory that you can issue adb commands from) inside of that folder, locate a file named recovery.bat. Double click on that file and a command prompt with a bunch of chinese pops up. Give it a second and press enter, it will go through the process and flash a recovery onto your phone
4- After everything is done, hold down the power button for about ten seconds(until the device powers off) Power the device back on normally, and download the ROM/ROMs if you haven't already and place them on the internal or external sd card(your choice) With device connected to pc, open command prompt and type in "adb reboot recovery" (without quotes) and the device will boot into recovery mode
5- Now that we have an English recovery, the translations below aren't really needed. However, I'm going to leave them up for a few days, just until everybody can transition to the English recovery. They will be deleted after that!
Recovery Main Menu: -Reboot -Install from SD card -Wipe Data/Factory Reset -Wipe Cache -Backup&Restore -Mount/Format -Advanced
Install From SD Card Menu: -Install zip from external SD -Apply update.zip -Unknown* -Install zip from internal SD
Backup&Restore Menu: -Backup -Restore -The rest are unknown*
Advanced Menu: -Reboot Recovery -Wipe Dalvik Cache -The rest are unknown*
To install ROM- In recovery mode, Factory Reset/Wipe Cache/Wipe Dalvik Cache. Then choose install zip from sd card(then choose internal or external and locate the ROM you want to install) After that you need to do the same thing to install the gapps package(you need the gapps package for google apps to function) once all is done, reboot and wait(it takes a while to boot the first time after flashing new ROMs, it has to rebuild the Dalvik cache)
NOTE: In case you aren't familiar with flashing ROMs, once you click on something( "backup" for example) a menu pops up pretty much asing you if you're sure you want to do that. It will have a bunch of lines of the same thing(which is no) and then one of the lines will have a bunch of writing beside it(which means yes). Also BEFORE you flash any ROMs, make sure you factory reset/wipe cache/and wipe dalvik cache, then you can flash the ROM and gapps package
*These will be updated regularly, as I discover what they are **More ROMs to come!
Internal Memory
The "BLU Quattro 4.5" has 4GB internal memory partitioned into 0.98GB for ROM and apps and an internal usb-memory of 1.63GB.
Is it possible to merge or resize the partitions?
I have 16GB external SD so the 1.63GB internal reserved usb-memory is useless and I still having trouble out of space in primary partition.
Thanks and sorry my english =/

Recovery + Root My experience
Hello... I got my BLU Quattro 4.5 (D440) a while back, didn't fuzz with it much right off. The Stock ROM was sluggish at best thought there was even an issue with the Digitizer/screen. But this thread was extremely helpful. I am now running Shendu ROM 4.1.2 one of the suggested ROM's above. I tried the other 2 first and they were mostly in Chineese and I had an especially hard time getting them switched over to English. Either way onward to the point. I have put together a few helpful tips-tricks for my experience with this phone and its phoenix transition to an awesome handset. Thats right now this is my daily driver and I love it! See below hope its helpful.
BLU Quattro 4.5 (440D) GSM Recovery+Root
These steps for this phone only!! Not responsible for any issues.
1. download ROM's, Recovery, & Driver from XDA (this thread)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327417
2. Enable USB Debugging! Go into Apps-Settings-DevOptions - Check box for USB Debug
3. Have original USB cord if handy! I tried with a Samsung OEM cable but no luck getting drivers to stick. Use original is best. (If you have one.)
Plug in USB Cord to PC then Phone and see if windows detects drivers. let it. It wont get the ones u need later, but what it does find is for USB storage. (you can move over your ROM's/Gapps to storage, downloads folder is a good spot).
4. Go to... http://junefabrics.com/android/downloadold.php to get pdanet software. Install it and it will give i the right drivers for ADB support. I used 4.01 to match the android version currently on my phone.
5. Extract the Driver provided from XDA. Put it in a folder with the ADB commands. Or you can get it all here... http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyNexus/rooting/GalaxyNexusRootNew.zipn <-- I know this isn't for BLU but, if you extract this to a folder, and also add the drivers extracted to it as well this works! I've done it.
6. Extract the English Recovery to the same folder.
7. Turn off your phone. Hold down Vol up and Power button for about 5-9 seconds. Once you see a green screen let go of both. Screen may flicker then go black but the icons at the bottom will stay lit. You are now in APX mode (nvflash) mode. (as stated above in original post)
8. Check your Win 7 PC device manager. For a Phone device with ADB. If you you may need to update driver with the one that came from XDA, but the PDANet software should make it work.
8. Go to the folder and find Recovery.bat file (may have Chinese in file name. Double click and a command prompt window will pop up with a bunch of unknown characters, wait 5 sec then hit enter. The batch file should take of pushing the necessary recovery through ADB to the phone. It will error if it can't.
9. If completes OK. Push power for 7-9 seconds to power off the phone. Hit power like normal to turn it back on. It will boot up like normal (or it should).
10. USB is still connected this whole time and you can open a command prompt window. Navigate to the folder you placed the Recovery into. Something like user/username/desktop/BLU/recovery..etc)
Type ADB devices....it should show you that is is connected to your device. Then type " adb reboot recovery " and the device should reboot, give it some time.
11. Once in recovery. Best to do a backup of the original ROM & system. that way you can get back into recovery if anything goes wrong and wipe out the problem by restoring and starting again.
After you backup === you can get into recovery without the command being typed in or even being connected to your PC.... By holding Vol up + Power till you see the green screen then let go of power but keep holding Vol up till you see the BLU Products boot screen then let go ===
Clockworkmod Recovery should be on your screen.
you can reboot phone now and get back to original with no changes. Or you can venture into the world of loading ROM's (There in your downloads folder if you saved them in Step 3)
ROM 101
BACKUP-BACKUP-BACKUP 1st thing once in Recovery ...can't stress enough how much of trouble you can keep yourself out of by keeping an original backup.
As I stated before the Shendu ROM + Gapps is running smooth and all features I've been trying are working flawlessly!! Thanks to original post for getting me going. Just thought I'd add my 2 Cents.
Ok, here are the BEST 2 ROMS for this Phone:
Android 4.0.4(close to vanilla) : MEGA
Cyanogenmod 10.2 (Android 4.3.1) : (some audio and video issues, in BETA version ) MEGA
Need to merge internal partitions ? (merge memories) this one really "resize" the partitions (first one 1,7GB, another one new size is 2Mb) the flash.cfg file you need to flash:
This phone dont have notificaion led, fixed with this app: MEGA (flash the botton menu buttons)

GETTING A REALLY EXPENSIVE BRICK NOR IS ANYONE ELSE BUT YOUR SELF
-----------------------------------------------------------TUTORIAL----------------------------------------------
ok download the files and install the apps from above
have them on your infuse (by any means you can i had to download them on my s3 and transfer them via sdcard)
ok
STEP 1:
- use framaroot to root your devicejust open it and press aragorn( i assume all infuses will have the same exploit name)
- reboot
STEP 2:
- open rom manager and click install recovery and select galaxy i9000 (they have the same partitions)
itll download a zip
STEP 3:
- follow the video for the 3e recovery installation posted above^
STEP 4:
- reboot revocery but powering off the device and pressing and holding vol up and down and power, once you see samsung come up release power
(once in recovery it should say 3e recovery at the top)
- select install update zip (vol up and down move from one item to the next and power selects it)
(your screen should go blank then come back up in clock work mod recovery)
- once in clock work mod recovery go to wipe data (say yes)
- then wipe cache (say yes) then go to advanced and wipe davlic cache (say yes)
- go back and go into mounts and storage and format system (say yes)
-go back select install zip from sdcard find the zip for the GB rom and select it and select yes ==HURRAY YOU JUST FLASHED A ROM==
- go back and select reboot device
STEP 5:
- once your phone boots up and is loaded go back into recovery (via three button method)
- then repeat the wipes and formatting
- then go to install zip from sdcard, and flash the ICS rom (warning you will get rainbow recovery, but you should still be able to navigate it)
- go to advanced and reboot recovery and flash it again
- once the second flash it done reboot device
FROM THIS POINT ON PLEASE REMOVE THE MICRO SDCARDS FROM THE DEVICE
STEP 6: (for now on the wipes and formating will be called wiping)
- once the device has booted in to cm9 reboot recovery again
- you will still have rainbow recovery but go and wipe it again
- and go and flash the JB Rom (if its one of scotts the first time the flash will fail just flash again)
- after the second flash it should auto boot into recovery (where you will see that it is fixed and no more rainbow)
- flash the JB rom once more and this time flash the gapps as well
REBOOT!
AND THERE YOU GO FROM FROYO (2.2) TO JB (4.3)

Like others I have read here, my OnePlus One has served me well. I have had to change the display twice and didn't connect the volume button correctly but I'm still using it and it works just fine.
Recently, my bank upgraded their security system and it won't allow me to connect to my bank account anymore unless I upgrade. I am currently using Android version 5.0.2 with OxygenOS version 1.0.0.
My son put OxygenOS on my phone after Cyanogen pulled out. He is no longer near me so a communication tech kinda convinced me that the two of us can figure out how to do an upgrade (root) this phone ourselves.
Can someone here point us in the right direction with hopefully a step by step list of what we need to do?
Oh yeah! I'm not sure this matters but I use T-Mobil as my cell service provider. The problem is that my Oneplus One doesn't work as well as I would hope.
0. Backup everything - you will loose your data this once
1. Unlock your bootloader (if it isn't already) following these instructions: https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...oader-install-custom-recovery-and-root.64487/
2. Following the same instructions flash this recovery image: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-3-k1-t3563692
3. Boot into recovery and make a full backup (tick everything) and store it on your computer (just connect your phone and copy the TWRP folder)
4. Download the zip of any ROM, I recommend this one: (comment 3559) https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...-unofficial-lineageos-14-1-3-t3626403/page356
Also download gapps for 7.1 if you choose the ROM I sent (I recommend the pico version) https://opengapps.org/
Also download magisk https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
5. From recovery wipe Dalvik, System, Data, Cache.
6. Go to install and select the two zip files you downloaded and copied to your phones storage
7. Flash them and reboot
8. Enjoy
