Thanks for the help. Can you please advice any up to date or ''safe'' ROM ?
And it is okay to install from SD Card directly ?
Cheers

It is advisable to install from SD card, so yes.
Stock OTA 4.1.2 Jelly Bean ROM is the safest. So i recommend this one: http://d-h.st/t7o
It is stock over-the-air ROM from google with a few added features you may need.

If you want more features you can try stable releases of ROMs posted on the development section.

You need to update your custom recovery.
Download CWM 6.0.1.0 here: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.0-crespo.img
Put it anywhere in your pc, or even on your sdcard.
Then go to command prompt and type fastboot flash recovery <put EXACT img file location and name here>

Thank you all !
It is back now
Last question: Is my phone going to make system updates via internet automatically ?

Kees

Because you have a custom recovery, no.
That's the advantage of using a custom recovery though, you can just download and flash any newly updated ROM/s instead of waiting for the official google update.

[Q] Stuck At Boot Loader

I updated the CWM to 6.x and tried to install KitKat 4.4.4 on my P500 and now, it stuck at bootloaded. Tried different ROMs but still stuck at bootloader.
I am able to open CWM recovery, install zip even can mount USB or /system and run adb shell. Able to connect it in emergency mode (PC detects it), but KDZ does not recognize the phone.
I tried the LG support tool, that told me that the software is already up-to-date. When I try to update recovery, it stuck at 11% and says there is some issue in PC communication.
Can this be an issue of baseband? I am not sure what to try next.
***Have removed the sd-card also to see if that helps.
*** also tried on different machines with xp, win 7, win 8.
Can anyone help?

If you can boot to recovery then do the following:
1) Wipe dalvik-cache
2) Wipe cache
3) Format /system
4) Format /userdata or /data
5) Reinstall ROM
6) Reinstall GApps
7) Reboot
When upgrading or changing between major versions, ie; JellyBean to KitKat, it's highly recommended to format your system and userdata partitions.

Done This

you didn't say wich rom/thread etc, however
could you try this:
take this cwm the january's
take this rom the 7.1 version.
enter in recovery mode
flash the above cwm
flash the rom :fingers-crossed:
after that if you want to flash a kitkat, if it's an OS2SD or not use twrp 2.7.0.1 multi (bigsupersquid's & HardLight's twrp for p500)
this version have tls enabled

Now stuck at LG boot logo infinite loop

Did you make the format /system /androidsecure /data etc..?
change the SD card, re-download the rom 7.1 & the twrp 2.7.0 multi, and retry (corrupted data/download problem?)
else go back to older cwm v5 and try older ics based rom.
i don't want to suggest to you to use LGMDP or KDZ because with that you can really break the phone. take that as last chances
i've a p500 for test, i've seen a lot of "black after LG logo", but everytime when i had possibility to enter the recovery, a new flash (recovery, rom or both) solved problems
To wipe clean 100% and install a new rom
Select “wipe data/factory reset
Select “yes”
Go to “mounts and storage”
Select “format /boot”
Select “yes”
Select “format /system”
Select “yes”
Back out of that menu to the main one again and select “advanced”
Select “Wipe Dalvik Cache”
Select “yes”

It's also good to check the Md5 sums of the recovery and rom.zip, if Md5 sums don't match, you will have a corrupt download.

Revert Back To Miui V5 from Miui V6 in Redmi 1S

Hey Guyz,
I found a new way to revert back to MIUI V5 from MIUI V6.
As me many of us hav very slow internet connection due to which we are not able to download via TWRP recovery Manager. To avoid downloading i found new way
## First, you have to root your phone.
Steps:
Download the file Root_HM1S_MIUI6_Global.zip and put it in root of sdcard (Use internal)
Launch the Updater app
From the menu select 'Choose update package', and navigate to root of sdcard and select Root_HM1S_MIUI6_Global.zip
The updater app now reboots into the recovery, installs the update and then reboot
After the reboot has finished, You will able to see a new app namely SuperSU.
Open it one popup will aris and choose 'Continue' to update the SU binary
7. In the next dialog select 'Normal' and an updated su binary will get installed
8. Finally confirm to 'Reboot' after the successful installation
## Now Download Flashify App
## After that download TWRP or Philz Recovery and extract it
##There u will find the recovery.img file navigate it to root of sdcard
##Now Open Flashify App
##Select Recovery image
##There Select choose a file
##And navigate to the Image and select it..
##Wait for few seconds popup will appear Flash complete and there select reboot now
##Now you will reboot to recovery
For TWRP Recovery:
#Now open recovery and go to wipe. And go to advance menu and wipe you all data internal storage an everything except external storage.
#After successfully wipe your phone. Go to reboot menu and reboot to recovery. It will back you again to TWRP recovery.
#Now select install. And it will show your phone storage but you can go up lavel A and choose external_SD and select your download v5 ROM.
#After select the ROM flash it....
#And it will successfully flash(it may take some time) and now touch reboot option below.
#Successfully Reverted back to MIUI V5
For Philz Touch Recovery
#Navigate to Wipe and Format Option
#Select Wipe Cache , Dalvik Cache, And then Select Factory Reset
#After that Select "Clean to Install a New ROM"
#Now Select ++++Go Back++++
#Select Install Zip
#Choose zip from external sdcard and Select the ROM
#Wait for few minutes and then reboot
#Successfully reverted back to MIUI V5..

no matter which custom rom I flash, always gets stuck in bootloop
I'm not new to flashing roms and stuffs. I'm on CM11 on RedMi 1S. Now whenever I tried a different rom(say CM12.1) even after following each instructions correctly, the phone always gets stuck in bootloop( the CM avatar). Please help me out from this problem. I'm using TWRP.

Help to Unbrick Honor 8

Hi,
I need your help as i can't get my Honor 8 (FRD-L09) unbricked:
1) It worked fine with firmware FRD-L09432B389 (except Bluetooth that won't be activated)
2) I flashed it with Lineage 14.1 using this website:
http://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/lineage-os-14-1-honor-8-nougat-7-1-rom/
3) It worked well but I got a strange message at bootup: To start Android please enter your password. This is probably due to encryption of prior partition. I made a format Data and wipe Data partition but it didn't helped.
No i still have access to TWRP but i'm unable to flash with any rom:
1) 3-Button force update mode doesn't work (it doesn't go the the update mode, even though dload/update.zip is existing on SD Card)
2) When i Try Unbrick mode from Huawei Multi-Tool i get this error message:
FAILED (remote: error partition error)
FAILED (remote: sparse flash write failure)
I confirm my bootloader is unlocked!
Thanks for your help!

Are you sure that you tried to install the exact dload file of your phone's region?

Bro just try the above post it works 100% .

Hi,
I'm trying to flash through adb sideload. I activated the ADB Sideload in TWRP As well. The transfer worked correctly.
In attachment the log of flash.
I tried to flash these stock roms:
FRD-L09C432B381_update.zip (1,3Gb)
FRD-L09C432B381_update_data_full_hw_eu.zip (1,1Gb)
My Honor 8 is from Europe, meaning these flash should be correct.
In the log i noticed these messages:
failed to mount /data: Device or resource busy
unmount of /system failed: no such volume
unmount of /cust failed: no such volume.
What do you think?
Thanks!

Yes it took approximately 50 seconds each.
For HW EU i got this message: Total xfer: 1,07x
For Update : Total xfer: 1,00x
No it is stuck at blue screen with Honor
When i'm in TWRP, I go to Wipe and Advanced Wipe:
- Dalvik / Art Cache: Invalid Partition Selection (when i click Repair of Change File System)
- Cache: ext4 - 247Mb (0Mb used)
- Data: f2fs - 24662Mb (0Mb used)
- Internal Storage: Invalid Partition Selection
- System: ext4 - 1891Mb (1781Mb used)
- Vendor: ext4 - 579Mb (481Mb used)
- Micro SD Card: vfat 59624Mb (6081Mb used)
Is it normal Internal Storage shows Invalid Partition Selection ?
What should i do after flashing both zip files (with adb sideload) ? Go to eRecovery and connect to Wifi?
Thanks,

I must after flash boot to stock eRecovery and here do factory reset, u have this choice in?
edit:no isn't normal Invalid partion Selection
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After flashing both zip files the welcome screen is stuck at blue screen with Honor Logo.
From this i went back to TWRP to Flash with Lineage 14.1:
- I firstly got a screen that says encryption is unsuccessful and i need to click to reset phone
- I got a second screen that looks to Recovery Screen and that Reset phones (takes 1-2minutes-
- I have a third screen saying: To start Android, enter your password.
I don't have that password since it is converted from fingerprint i assume.
Can you please details how to do this:

Phone unbricked??

No Phone still not unbricked.
What i'm trying to do know is:
- Install TWRP 3.1.1.1 by OpenKirinProject on eRecovery partitition (Should i try Recovery Partition ?)
- Install FRD-L09C432B381_update_data_full_hw_eu.zip file
- Install FRD-L09C432B381_update.zip file
- Wipe Cache/Dalvik
-In TWPR, click Reboot - Recovery
- In Recovery, choose wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition.
- Reboot fingers crossed
But i still have significant issues:
Failed to mount /cust (Invalid Argument)
Failed to mount /vendor (Invalid Argument)
Failed to mount /product (Invalid Argument)
Any additional help, please do not hesitate!
In my opinion all the issues i have is because partitions that are corrupted i think. Not sure if they are recovered only by installing full flash zip file.
Thanks for the help!

Yes but it's not as easy as that for different reasons:
1) First of all thanks for your help and for your post (that explains how to unbrick) but as everyone has is own understanding and knowledge/experience level in these topics, your post lacks precise steps. Example: When you say "Flash firmware for your model" should be: Click install, select your firmware in ZIP format and click Install image. For your level this seems probably obvious but it's not for everyone.
2) Even though, it is not always working. Right now i bricked my phone again by trying to install Lineage 14.1. I just recovered it but it is again multiple steps in TWRP, sometimes clicking there and there, and it works sometimes with chance. I have the feeling that we still don't know 100% sure what to do in which case to have 100% success rate.
Now i have my phone fully working in B389, Bluetooth also.
Does anyone know how to install Lineage 14.1 ? Here is the link for Honor 8:
http://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/lineage-os-14-1-honor-8-nougat-7-1-rom/
Because they explain:
Wipe data factory reset, Cache partition, Dalvik Cache and Format the System partition.
Again that's not precise:
1) Wipe Data Factory Reset ?? Does that mean:
a) Click Wipe & Swipe to Factory Reset
b) Click Wipe - Click Advanced wipe - Select Data & Swipe to Wipe
2) Cache Partition & Dalvik Cache means : Click Wipe - Click Advanced Wipe - Select Dalvik Cache + Cache & Swipe to Wipe
3) Format the system Partition : Click Wipe, Click Advanced Wipe, Select System, Swipe to Wipe ??
Because i just tried to do it (according to my understanding) and i got bootloop and access to TWRP only.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Yes i think you should indeed (if possible of course ). For instance, what was new for me was also the fact 2 flash images were required, one called "update" and one called "region".
