[Please Help] Unable to Install Recovery (LG P500)

Hi few days back my phone (LG P500) was bricked. I got it working, that is now running Stock ROM.Then I rooted it with a tool named 'antdking's LG p500 rooting tool v1.0' . Now when i am trying to install recovery, both manually and using ROM manager, on Reboot my phone is flashing back to 'Factory Settings' (of course Unrooted and wiped data).
Whats The problem ?. Is it problem with Rooting, or something else ?. Please help guys, I am sick of using Stock ROM after using Custom ROMs for more than a year.
Thank You

Now i think screw Recovery, screw Custom ROMs i just want my phone back.
Please help guys..none of the above methods are working for me:crying:

Installed New update, soft brick. Need an official signed rom

Anyone know of, or or have a link to a factory rom (hell any rom would do at this point) that I would be able to flash with the stock S3 recovery? Just trying to unbrick my phone. Story of what happened below:
I'm running stock 4.1.1 rooted touchwiz. I wake up this morning to a notification saying I had an update on my phone. Should have definitely waited but without thinking I went ahead and updated, which of course soft bricks? The phone. (boots up, and but hangs at the 4Glte, flash screen)normally this would be an easy fix, I could Odin back to stock or something but I'm down in Mississippi till Monday for training and do not have access to my pc.
I can access the factory recovery on the phone but that's it, have no clue where CWM is. I've tried flashing some backups but the factory recovery says that it's not a signed package or whatever. Anyone have any idea how I can get this sucker booted up and running using just an android tablet?
What about reflashing CWM so I can access my backups? Could I somehow flash CWM with factory recovery?:

first of all you can't flash anything on a stock recovery hence the need of a custom recovery. Second you don't accept the OTA when rooted as it can cause the exact issue that you have. Last there isn't a way to fix your problem via another android device that I know of.

U are going to need a pc and then u will need to download Odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1165122&d=1340993443 and u can get the official software from here on XDA http://hotfile.com/dl/182822657/9f6...WBLK3_381038_REV09_user_low_ship.tar.md5.html this is the 4.1.1 software. Here is a link to some official pre rooted software http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984436 all of these software's you can install though Odin just look up here on XDA on how to use Odin and you will be fine once your phone is up and running again then you will need to get you a custom recovery. Then you can access your backups.

He was asking if he can use an android tablet to fix his phone. He doesn't have access to PC at least until Monday it says so in his post. I wasn't even criticizing you at all. Unless he knows someone with a PC in Mississippi or someone here knows how to use one android device to flash something on another android device he sadly will have to wait until he gets home to fix his phone. You didn't do anything to be criticized for trying to help all I did was point out the info that you missed without personally attacking you making it a critique.

hey all, I've been reading , downloading etc for hours trying to get back into my GS3.. i was as usual roaming around and saw a post that said something to this effect "do ya need to get back to stock?" and figured yes i need to so i jumped in with both feet ..i had my boot loader unlocked and for some reason locked the darned thing remembering it was locked before i rooted and then i get the screen that says ie: "System software not authorized ~~~~~~~~~~~~" with a yellow triangle over it with an "!" mark in it..
all would have been ok except the line up of the way to do things was kinda outta line.. after i had locked bootloader "which is the way the GS3 came" i thought. at any rate i am now where i said i was and if i can be helped it would be appreciated.. and no repeated.. next time i'll read their whole line up first.. so help me if ya can and i am game right now for about anything ..

[Q] Red triangle error while entering into recovery on lg e455

HI,
First of all im new to this android world.
I brought LG E455 two months ago and i rooted it successfully by using a chiana tool
and replaced the super user of china version into english version.
But when i tried to install any custom rom or even if i try to enter into boot recovery using the command "adb reboot recovery"
i end up seeing a red triangle over an android symboll..
how to solve this?
Is it possible for my device to install custom roms?

Just to clarify, is this what you are seeing?

If so you probably need to reflash your recovery.

I apologize, my previous advice was generic for any phone. After looking in to your model I did not see any custom recoveries available for it, nor have I found anyone claiming to have a custom recovery running.
Can you post a link to the recovery that you flashed? Obviously it was not from the ClockworkMod site: clockworkmod.com/rommanager as there is no official recovery for your model. Of course, you might have found an unofficial testing version somewhere else. If so let me know and I will help you look into reflashing it.

I could not find any. To my knowledge, it is not possible to flash anything but stock firmware to your phone, nor are there any recoveries aside from the one already on it.
Your phone is not too old, so someone might still develop a custom recovery and eventually 3rd party ROMs. However, it is worth noting that might never happen. If you wish to flash ROMs and such, it is generally a good idea to purchase a more popular device. More users = more devs = more customizations made.

You are welcome. Does it claim to be incompatible with your device? It might not be able to physically work on your chipset, which means it will not work on your phone unless the devs release an update. If you would like to purchase it anyways just to try it out, you can download a modified Play Store APK that removes device/region restrictions. I have not used such an APK, so I cannot help much beyond linking you to the last one I saw featured here on XDA. That is a pretty old Play Store, so you might Google around to see if you can find a newer version like version 4.x or so. While I have not had much success with the application personally, Lucky Patcher might be able to remove the region/device checks from your current Play Store. If none of those options work, the only route left is illegitimate and not spoken of here.

I have the same E455 and I just want to enter that stock recovery. how do I do that?
I've tried every key combination possible . it just wont enter recovery.
LG site is no help at all about this. just look at the other south Korean phone maker.
the difference is day and night. everything is available for sammy devices . oh,well

Hey Axims,
I`m also ended up on a dead end for this problem.
But yesterday i accidentally switched on my mobile by holding volume UP + quick access button + Power Button. I`m entered into recovery mode but i cant use that mode its only allows LG service representatives to use. Do u know anything about it??????...
It would gives us a clue to enter into our recovery...
If u know anything about it please reply......,
Thanking you.

Hmm, I'm becoming more and more suspicious that it's just a mock screen and not a real recovery.
otherwise, why we can't enter it?
why lg is so tight lipped about it?
some senior member here tried couple of days helping me make a cwm for it. he was always
complaining about the odd size of boot.img and recovery.img that something is not right there.
maybe he's right and lg screwed us . who knows

[Q] Phone Wont Turn On After TWRP Install

Just got my D800 in and was wanting to put a custom ROM on it. So I started off by rooting it with Stump Root.
I then wanted to put a custom recovery and rom manger didnt work and so I tried TWRP Manager. I selected the wrong phone, the LG G2X and it rebooted and will not come on now.
My questions are how do I fix this and get a custom rom on it?
Thanks

anyone?

more info. When I go to device manager, the phone is showing up as QHSUSB_BULK and when I plug the phone into the pc, a list of drives show up and windows wants me to format them.

cant believe no one has had this issue. Can you install different firmware though http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 or do I need what was originally on it?

Mobile Upgrade Q is complete GARBAGE! Stuck on Eluga Switch software. Need help!

I have been attempting to get Mobile Upgrade Q working all day and have had no success because of one stupid little error message...
There is no greater software version available to upgrade your phone, actual version of your phone is the latest.
I can already tell you this isn't true.
To make a long story short, I was aiming to unlock the bootloader on my Idol 3, downgraded to Lollipop via Eluga Switch restore software, installed TWRP, rooted, then attempted to flash Lineage OS 14.1 to the device. It refused to boot, no matter what I did...
Deciding that I wanted to go back to stock firmware, I installed Mobile Upgrade Q 5.1.8, opened the program, and tried to start the upgrade process. However, I was instead greeted with the error I mentioned above, how my device was allegedly already on latest software.
- I've tried using other versions of Mobile Upgrade Q with no success.
- I've tried reinstalling the Alcatel drivers via. the one I copied from my phone to the computer, same result.
- I've tried loading it from the bootloader, and with the device powered off and charging, both of which failed.
- Yes, I've tried wiping data/cache, and even system. I also tried Panasonic Eluga Switch again, which succeeded, but again, I don't want my phone to be branded under Panasonic, and I do want the Marshmallow software...
- I've tried restarts, multiple different drivers, and even relocking the bootloader, all of which failed...
Does anyone know how I can get the Upgrade software to work? I've tried everything I could on my side, and nothing seems to succeed...
Thanks in advance...

Your only chance is to use QFIL and flash stock ROM. You need to google and try to find a suitable ROM. May i suggest 4pda.ru website. It's russian but google translate does well enough. It has a lot of useful information for both variants, 4.7 or 5.5 version . Idol 3 is the worse when it comes to rooting, flashing etc. Don't mess with it. You can easily ruin it for good.

Do you know where I can find the stock firmware file? I couldn't navigate through 4PDA that well due to the Russian interface, and Google Translate did little to no help.
Thanks

Here you go. Use google translate for more details.
If your model is 5.5 you can find it in this forum.
That's all i can do for you. I know it's not much. Sorry about that.

Hi guys! I have alcatel software that restores your phone back to stock similar to mobile upgrade q. It wipes everything back to factory rom. Just let me know if you want the link and instructions on how to use it because it can get a bit complicated.

Hi, I'm having trouble with the mobile upgrade q software. Can you please share any links/instructions on how to possibly get this working? I have a 6045O which was already upgraded to MM and now I'm stuck...

i want link and instructions of the tool similar to alcatel software upgrader.pls

Yes please post it

Hello @chewyboy0, you mean flashing latest stock ROM or just wipe partitions?

Hi, the software does wipe and then it flashes the latest stock rom, I do not have the phone currently but I can update on the procedure once I get the device since I have upgraded to a Samsung galaxy note 5 and I gave the old idol 3 to a friend

It would be nice, I'm sure many people will use it.

Hi all! Sorry for the late delay but I have not had the idol and still do not have it unfortunately. I will upload the software to google drive but be mindful that it does require a password to actually get into the program as I assume that it is used in Alcatel's factory to install the software update to the device.

Hiya! I have a guide here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/general/guide-restore-idol-3-to-factory-rom-t3769739
I'm not sure if it will work with the Idol 4 but if it does not have the model number listed in the program you might want to try updating it using the dialog box that pops up at startup. Before updating the program, try seeing if it has your idol 4's model number listed and then if it doesn't close out of the program, reopen it, then update it.
Hope all goes well,
Jason
