[Q] Restore stock recovery

Hi Guys,
Sorry but I rooted my Wife's phone, installed CWM and flashed recovery, then tried a few roms and she wants it back to stock - go figure..
Anyway I can restore stock rom from recovery, however then when the phone advises there is an update available, it reboots into CWM Recovery then gets in a boot loop and says it can not mount e drive.
So I load up the custom rom, reboot into recovery, restore the stock rom, then back to square one above that it won't update itself if that makes sense..
So my question is how do I restore stock recovery and do you think that will solve the issue?
Thanks

wow you live in gold coast like my relatives(surfers paradise,broad beach)
to have a stock recovery you must flash a kdz stock rom or use the LG tool via pc,and try with the emergency menu of the tool

Wow, small world yes that's the one!
I was going to try the KDZ method but I don't have the IMEI number and that method mentions having to type in the IMEI number?
I am trying this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1244490 instead will that do it too?
Thanks

With kdz method you don't need the IMEI

Thanks mate I will try that... so leave SIM in and just go for it with KDZ?

Yes.........

Sorry to sound like such a noob but I can't boot the phone to turn on USB debugging mode, and it's not installing the drivers, just keeps saying USB device not recognised...
All I can get to is CWM recovery menu?
Help~!

Plug in the phone with download mode "Vol up + power"

Thanks I was trying that but it wasn't working?

One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and is not working...
That's all I get?

You se this image after reboot??http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/4918/img0865xl.jpg
If yes try with this cable and bin firmwarew(method).

No I do not get that screen, either nothing happens or it boots like normal to CWM Recovery, damn I've really messed this up!

Hi sorry I must be doing something wrong to enter download mode..
What are the exact steps please?
Hold buttons first then plug in cable or have cable plugged in first?
Thanks

recovery
use lg recovery get imie with phone *#06#

Thanks I now have the IMEI and S/N however when I click to check the IMEI in the recovery tool it says wrong information and try again and closes?
I have double triple checked and I am entering it correctly?

Now onto this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1181071 thread and onto a second, clean, 32bit computer and still the same problems....

So I hold down the volume up and power buttons, the computer recongnises it and starts to install the drivers then says driver installation failed and LG Mobile Support Tool does not connect the phone?

And now a blue screen on the new clean computer, wow this is quality software from LG, no surprise really!

HOLD THE FORT!
After the blue screen reboot on the new computer, I tried again and it connected!
At first the IMEI check failed but then I thought to enter the IMEI with no dashes, and it worked!
Clean install is downloading now via the Recovery tool, phew.. I hope nothing else goes wrong!

[Q] Have no ROM and no recovery

Hi,
I need an urgent help as my phone is down for 3 days already and i can't found any solution that works for me.
My problem came up when i was updating kernel and applied the reboot right after it.
The phone did not woke up anymore.
I ran into emergency mode and updated KDZ to v10E.
Then i ran to LG software updater and ran an update.
I got the FW v10F and seems that original ROM was being installed.
I do see when loading the logo of my original ROM, but thenit changed and stuck on "android" logo and that's it.
2 problems:
========
1. i don't have recovery on my phone
2. seems that the ROM can't load
Is there any way to get out of this situation?

Home + vol down Then power button.. keep holding those buttons.. it will reset your phone!!
Might help!!!

If not, you can use this to make sure you have the correct stock ROM file, then flash using KDZ flasher.
You can also use Android Flash Recovery to flash custom recovery from your computer.

I always need a factory reset after using kdz, or it wont boot. Weird? I think so...
Press thanks if I helped you!

Are you talking about a P500 or variant? If so, can you get the device in to fastboot mode?

Sorry, I'm not familiar with that device variant. Ok. I see it's a Korean model P500. Power off device. Here are some key combinations
Power + Volume Up + Home = Recovery ( hold all buttons until recovery appears )
Power + Volume Down + Back = Emergency Mode
Power + Volume Down + Home = Fastboot Mode
If number 1 works, wipe cache and dalvik cache again and then reboot. PC should detect device when connected.
If number 3 works, download Android Flash Recovery from my signature and use it to flash a recovery to the device. Complete instructions are in the download package.
Other than that, I dunno what to say.

I am at a loss on this one. Without drivers, there's no PC software out there that can fix it. Not to my knowledge anyway. Sorry.

Download Android Flash Recovery from my signature. It has known good drivers for LG Android devices in the USB folder. If you had drivers installed before this problem, then new drivers won't fix it either.

I had them installed on my computer still no sign of phone

Phone won't boot (stuck on LG logo)

Hello,
My phone is stuck on LG logo and keeps blinking its key lights and then turning on and gets to the LG logo and does the same again and again, I can turn it on in emergency mode, so I tried to do a recovery, but all softwares don't detect it, except one time it was detected but not anymore.
Any help would be appreciated.

Can you reboot into recovery? ( Power + Volume Up + Home ) Or fastboot? ( Power + Home )

Have you installed a custom recovery? If not, you should be able to do a factory reset. Power off the device. Press and hold both volume keys and the Power button for 10 seconds. This only works with factory recovery.

I did before, and I did root my hone and installed custom rom, but still my phone won't boot except into logo loop or recovery mode, Android Flash recovery detected the phone once, I selected by mistake reboot phone into normal mode, the software went unresponsive, I unplugged my phone and replugged it and now no software would detect it.

Sounds like LGMDP or KDZ are about the only things that you can try at this point. With the phone booting to the LG Logo, it's not a permanent brick yet. I would try LGMDP before KDZ as KDZ has been known to brick devices. It's bricked two for me.

Something has changed the way the devices are identified since ICS came out. Have you tried using either of those programs with the device boot-looping on the LG Logo? That will be about the only way the device is detected. You may get lucky enough to have LGMDP detect it. The only other option I know of is to visit a local cell shop that has JTAG equipment.

Uninstall all lg drivers, reinstall the latest drivers and try again after disabling lg modem from control panel-devices

The device is boot-looping on the LG logo. There's not much of a chance of any drivers getting installed or at least the necessary ones.

Hey my Lg ms345 wont boot up.stuck at Lg logo screen or on the battery charging screen. I cant do any resets or modes.

[SOLVED] [LG D160] stuck in bootloop, factory reset does nothing

The phone is stuck in a boot loop at the LG screen, and makes the annoying boot sound every few seconds.
I have tried to start in Safe Mode by holding down POWER and VOLUME DOWN until the LG screen hits, then releasing POWER and pressing POWER again. Instead of starting in Safe Mode, the Factory Reset option comes up. I have tried the factory reset but it does fix anything - the phone still is stuck in a boot loop.
Lastly, when I plug it into my computer via USB, my computer does not recognize anything (using both Mac OS X and Windows). I have tried installing the LG drivers from the LG support website on Windows, but they do not recognize the phone when plugged in.
How can I completely wipe everything and start from a fresh installation?
Thanks in advance

Does anyone have any idea on how to proceed yet? From my understanding, the phone is soft bricked since it is stuck in a boot loop. Starting in Recovery Mode (Power+Volume Down) doesn't work, instead the option for a Factory Reset pops up. Doing the Factory Reset does nothing. Should I try rooting the phone? Or should I try using the LG Flash Tool?

You need to return to stock LG firmware using LG flashtool
turn off your phone and connect your usb cable while you hold the volume up button to enter download mode

Hi jax256,
thanks for your reply. Would you happen to know of a reliable source where I can find the stock LG firmware?
