Hi everyone,
Forgive me if this is a noob question but I've been searching all night and I cannot find a solution.
Background - A friends sister recently passed away and she asked me if I could somehow get the data off of her phone. The phone is a Boost Mobile LG855 (Marquee). It is not rooted, is not in debug mode and is keylocked. We don't have the unlock code so based on what I've read, my only hope is to get CWM somehow flashed on the phone and use it to back up the phone data to the SD card.
Because I cannot get the phone into debug mode and there doesn't seem to be a download mode on this phone, any of the USB-based flashing techniques will not work. I am able to connect the phone as a storage device and access the SD card from my computer but I can't get the computer to recognize it as an ADB device. So that rules out the fastboot, adb or odin-like methods. I believe my only hope is to use the stock recovery to flash CWM from the SD Card (update.zip method).
I downloaded the CWM image for this phone (recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marquee.img) but I can only flash a file called "update.zip" from the stock recovery options. I read somewhere that I should be able to rename the image file to "recovery.img" and put it in an uncompressed "update.zip" file which I did. I copied it to the SD card and tried the flash it only to get the dreaded "E: signature verification failed" "installation aborted." message.
Here are my questions:
Is what I am trying to do even possible?
Can I flash a .img image by sticking it in an update.zip file?
Do I need to create a /dev/recovery/ structure inside the zip file?
If so, how do I fix the zip file so it doesn't fail the signature verification?
Is there a better way to do what I am trying to do?
There are all kinds of tutorials on how to use CWM to flash things from the SD card but surprisingly few that describe how to do what I am trying.
Any help or suggestions would be most appreciated. Thank you so much in advance.

None of this is necessary..
You can not flash a zip made by us from stock Recovery.
Your final hope is fastboot mode.
Before that, Install Minimal ADB and Fastboot in PC (Google it)
Switch off the mobile.
Hold any button combination like Power + Volume Up (or whatever, it's specific to phone) which will take you to a boot menu.
Connect phone to PC.
Select fastboot option in that menu from phone.
Now open Minimal ADB and Fastboot desktop icon and type the following:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery location_of_recovery\recovery.img
This will boot the CWM recovery.
Do whatever you want there
Thanks for your suggestion. I did start to go down that road and installed fastboot/adb. I gave up when the only key combination I could find for this stupid phone was power+volume down to boot into recovery. I will search more on whether there is a boot menu available on Boost Mobiles crappy stock ROM. Will update on what I find.
Thx again for the suggestion.

Inside the recovery, check if you have an option like 'bootloader' or 'fastboot' or 'debug'
If there's something like that, that's the fastboot mode.
Some phones don't have fastboot mode, so the phone might be one of those if there's nothing like that
Anyway, what data do you want to recover from the phone??
Believe it or not, I'm reading that these LG phones require a special cable from shady overseas websites to access the boot loader and flash capabilities.
Awesome...

Ya there's nothing like that unfortunately.
Mainly contacts and text messages. There's suspicions that her bf may have had something to do with her death and the police won't bother to do forensics on the phone so she asked if I could help.
I've been doing more research on this and have established that there is no way to get the LG855 (Marquee) into bootloader mode and no way to unlock the bootloader without getting past the keylock, I'm back to square one.
So my question remains, is there a way to convert a CWM recovery image (.img) file into a properly signed update.zip file that I can use the stock recovery to flash onto the phone from the SD card?
Thanks.

You can never flash a zip file created by us from stock recovery.
You can do it from custom recovery.
However hard you try, you can never do it from stock recovery. It's waste of time

I would first try to get into download mode. If you can get into download mode, then you can flash the build. If you can't get into download mode, then you might be screwed. Jump over to the irc channel in my signature and tell them which phone it is and see if they can help you out. I should be back in there soon if no one is available.
i do have a limited android recovery that would let me apply sdcard update.zip

That's the stock recovery - if you are able to get into that then you most likely should be able to get into download mode (which would enable you to flash the stock build in odin.) Like phidelt82 said, jump in the IRC chat when you can - we're always there to help. Otherwise I suggest you go back to the stock thread and read those instructions carefully and try again.
I had this happen too once.
Just take the battery out, hold your volume down button and donwload mode should show up.
Get a copy of oden / froyo 2.2 and you'll be up and running in minutes.
Dear people of awesomeness,
The story: I was following the exciting thread about the new CWM support for SGS4G by krylon360 and team, followed the directions (overwriting the recovery file WITH R/W enabled, placing update.zip into the root of my SD card...), and got stuck. Didn't know what to do exactly after that, other than try to use ROM Manager to backup my phone. Saw the "Reboot into recovery" option in the ROM manager menu and thought hey, let's see what this does. Most careless, stupidest thing I've done this year. fail.
The question: What is/are the way/s to boot into stock recovery mode? I can't seem to find a definitive method for booting into "stock recovery mode", though I've found plenty of ways to boot into download mode (a whole thread of them lol). I managed to find ONE method after reading through hundreds (honest) of posts in dozens of threads here and elsewhere: Hold vol+ Vol- and Power simultaneously from a powered off state.
The secondary fail: Obviously this didn't work for me, and although I'm near certain I'm going to have to do the "Odin" thing, I just wanted to ask if anyone could clearly explain the method to boot into stock recovery?
The shameless 2nd question: This question may have been asked elsewhere, shame on me, but... the .tar I'm downloading ([ROM-ODIN]T959VUVKB5 Stock + Root -- (hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978836)) will it wipe my phone?

does your phone still boot up normally?
also when you get to the recovery menu it should be blue. scroll down to reinstall packages, and that will get you to CWM recovery
Ok first, Rom Manager should not be used until Koush incorporates our device in it.
Your findings are correct, the vol+,vol-, + the power button should get you into recovery, besides that the only other way is to use an app/power menu mod but that requires the phone to be on.
It sounds like the next thing for you is Odin. From your phones current state you can, hold vol+, vol- and then plug USB Cable into phone (Brings you into download mode), ive read some users pull battery and put it back in, but the first way i explained it should get you into download mode. From there, choose Roms KB5, KC1, or KD1, and yes your device will be factory reset. Your documents should be on your SD. I dont know if you have Titanium Backup to restore your apps, if not, you will have to manually install them after your odin session.
hope this helps

I have downloaded krylon360's cwm final update.zip and put it in my root directory.
The only posibility I can think of was a friend rooted my phone with an older update.zip file and i am trying to put the new one on. I deleted the old update.zip and copied over the new one.
i then downloaded odin and followed the instructions on a post to flash my rom with the t959+root from krylon360 as well. I believe that worked, because a lot of the apps that came with the phone are back now.
i tried reinstalling packages after this and still the verification error.
i have been doing a lot of browsing, searching and reading tons of posts on here... cant seem to figure this one out. any ideas?
Thanks
If you successfully flashed your phone and have root access, double check the update.zip is in the root and make sure its the latest one. Another thing is to make sure you copied over the Recovery file and pushed (Copied) it over to System/bin folder. Once you have those two in place you can reboot into stock recovery then "re-install packages" to get to CWM Recovery.
Hooray!
I did the ODIN thing, according to the post mentioned in my OP, and it fixed everything My custom shutdown vid, startup/shutdown sounds were gone, but my apps were still there, even paid apps. No titanium backup.... guess I got lucky lol. Scared the crap outta me when it wouldn't load past the T-Mobile startup image.
I knew not to use CWM yet, was following the thread about imminent implementation of sgs4g support for CWM, but just didn't really think that booting into recovery mode from CWM would get me stuck like that. Didn't even try to install recovery for CWM, knowing that "Epic 4G" and "Vibrant", etc were not the right choice despite the seeming similarities.
I had been keeping up with moving all apps i could to SD, so maybe that saved me, I dunno.
Followed pixelbrains post to use odin and worked perfect. Thank you all!!
glad you got your phone back. \m/

Thank you for that info.... I actually finally figured it out, but it took me forever. the key kind of is what i thought, that i did not have the recovery file in the right spot. I finally found a free file manager, super manager (recommonded on one of theses posts, i read so many cant remember which one ) after fiddiling with that for like 30-40 mins i finally figured the correct procedure to allow me to paste that recovery file and once i did that, bam, cwm recovery worked fine.
so, the fact that i am able to get to that screen and the latest update.zip file is in my external sd cards root dir. i am all goo there right?
i also used odin to flash "PDA_KD1.tar.md5" my phone after i got that recovery file in the correct place, and then when that was done i booted into the cwm recovery after i downloaded "Bali_SGS4G_v1.4UV.zip" and then i hit install zip from SD card, and i selected choose zip file and selected that bali one, and then i had to scroll down like 7 spots to hit yes to install and it went for a few seconds and then acted like it was done, so i just hit back and then reboot. how do i know if that worked? cuz i dont see anything saying bali at all on my phone...
does it sound like i did that right?
thanks again

Apparently I just have tons of regular SD cards laying around and none of the micro variety. Ive rooted and put custom roms on 6 phones and kindle fires in the last two weeks so it seems a bit strange that this device would be the only one that would be different, but everything ive been able to read uses a micro card. Any info would be really appreciated. Thanks! (using US wifi board by the way)

You sure can.
Unlock the boot loader, ( note doing so will wipe all data from your device )
Reboot into android download a ROM and place on internal memory.
Fast boot flash a custom recovery ( see my SIG for twrp recovery for xoom)
Boot into the custom recovery ( see my SIG for my YouTube videos, there is a quick video on how to enter recovery)
Once in twrp recovery select install and the flash your ROM from internal memory.

I used The Lord all in One tool to unlock the boot loader. Im pretty sure that worked, device was seen and after it rebooted its like a completely wiped machine.
Now, then I reboot into recovery all i get is the green droid on its side with the warning triangle. I went to the TWRP post in your sig and there are 4 different install methods. I cant get any of them to work, but I havent tried option 2 because I dont have any idea how to use the adb commands. The windows script adb never sees my device although the LAIOT adb script does. I guess Im stuck on how to get TWRP onto this damn thing.

download this zip Install_Scripts_v2.3.3.0.zip - 10.03 MB
and extract
open your cmd ( command prompt )
cd ( change directory to where you extracted the above zip)
now connect your tablet to pc,
from the cmd type
Code:
adb devices
ensure that your pc sees your device, should read out sn#
now click the runme.bat
and follow onscreen instructions.
once the recovery img has been flashed ( you can verify on the xoom's screen.)
from the runme.bat select option 3 to reboot, you MUST reboot straight into recovery ( again see video for video steps here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koxgbdQuzOQ ) and flash rom, if you dont catch the boot process in time it will boot into android, and the custom recovery you just flashed will be replaced by the stock android recovery, and you will need to repeat the whole process. after you flash the rom your custom recovery will stick and you will be good from here on out

Hi,
I finally managed to update my Moto G to 4.4.2 by flashing stock rom. However, before I did that, my phone was rooted and I used Titanium Backup to back up some files. I then copied that folder to my PC. Now, I have tried to root the phone again using superboot, but my screen goes purple literally 2 seconds after I load superboot and then I have to switch it off and back on again. It hasn't installed SuperSU so I'm assuming my phone isn't rooted any more. I am a total noob in these matters and I really do appreciate all the help given on this site.
I would greatly appreciate if you can help me by getting my files from Titanium backup back up again, and how to re-root my phone. I have searched the forum but I didnt find anything too similar to my situation and I don't understand a lot of the terminology. It took me a really long time to even learn how to flash the stock rom!
So I would appreciate any help. Thank you
Root option 2 doesn't work either. It just says "waiting for device" at the first stage. When I click on recovery, it says no command. USB debugging has been enabled. Im confused!
Put latest superSU zip on /sdcard on phone. Copy across to phone using USB or use airdroid app. Search internet for superSU zip by chainfire developer.
Flash custom recovery CWM (search forum for it). Be sure to get the one for 4.4.2 bootloader.
Boot into CWM recovery (boot to bootloader and choose recovery option using UP volume button) and choose to flash a zip file and then pick the superSU zip.
You are now rooted and have a custom recovery.
For titanium backup, either copy to phone using USB or use airdroid app.
If you still have probs then let me know and I can give more detailed instructions tomorrow when I am at my laptop along with links to files needed.

Thank you very much for your help. Just a few questions if you dont mind. How do I put the SuperSU zip on the /sdcard part of the phone? When I access my phone via the pc, i cant find that folder.
Also, how do I go about flashing the custom recovery CWM. I don't know how to do this. The rest I should be OK with.
Thanks again pal
Go to android development section and follow the cwm 6.0.4.6 guide you can get the latest supersu from chainfire website just DL the zip plug your phone in and open your device and place the zip there. Then when you flash cwm don't reboot just move on to updating SD card and flash the super Su zip

When you access phone via PC do you see a list of directories, eg data, documents, pictures. If so that is the sdcard. Just put the superSU zip in any folder, or just copy it across so its not even in an actual folder. As long as its on there its fine.
If you don't see the folders then maybe you don't have the right drivers for the phone. In this case may be easiest to use airdroid app.
You may need drivers for fastboot below though anyway - not sure on windows as I use Linux. Bit of reading on forums should help with that.
CWM - have you used fastboot before? Basically fastboot is a program you put on your PC to allow you to flash images to your phone. You will enter a command like
fastboot flash recovery cwm.img
Where cwm.img is the CWM recovery file. You need to be in the bootloader to allow the phone to accept fastboot commands. The cwm.img is then flashed to the phones recovery partition.
Check the forums for a link to a fastboot program, that's the easiest way to get it.
Honestly, thank you so much for your help guys, a special thanks to you scott. I kinda understand now!
Now, I did all that, but I got a problem. When I try to flash CWM by using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
On my phone, it says mismatched partition size (recovery). Also, a bit off topic but when I try to restore factory settings, the phone doesn't do it properly. The android logo comes up....then it disappears, then appears again and disappears and so on.
Have I messed something up?
The partition mismatch is fine try factory reset on the phone setting not by recovery and see if that works

Hello, Im hoping that someone with Huawei expertise can assist me. I was trying to customize my rooted device by download and installing Xposed Installer / Framework and a multiwindow zip file. All was well until I entered recovery mode and used TWRP to flash the zip file. After reboot, I wasn't able to get to my home screen. The screen flickered multiple times as if it was trying to pull it up but was unable. I wasn't able to enter TWRP mode and my adb/fastboot program wasn't able to recognize the phone. The only options I was able to access were the internet and the Settings of the phone. The menu options were available but limited as well. The phone would not read the SIM card but was able to read the SD card. Trying to back up data was not possible as HiSuite was unable to detect the phone. As a last recourse, I did a hard reset BUT the phone is still flickering when trying to access the home screen. The only positive is that I am now able to access TWRP and adb/fastboot are detecting the phone. Any suggestions as to how to get my phone back operating like normal again would be greatly appreciated!!

You'll have to fastboot flash back the boot.img, system.img, and userdata.img from the stock B006 rom. I don't have a link to it but you can probably find it by searching this forum.

I figured I may be able to fastboot flash firmware 702-L B006 but cant seem to find a download for it anywhere. Does anyone have straight forward instructions/link? I tried the 702L B003 by letchsky download but it had a note that you couldn't use TWRP. Can I use ADB instead?
UPDATE: I did a hard reset using TWRP and accidentally wiped the internal drive. It still has TWRP and can be recognized when connected to my pc but it cycles during booting since there isn't an OS on the phone now. When I hook up my phone though, it now shows 703L vs 702L. Any thoughts/suggestions???
