[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.

uptill now i only tried to set my phone into recovery by using the command "adb reboot recovery" only
since there is no official recovery for my model.
Please suggest me any unofficial testing version of recovery for my model

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

Hey bro, my name is Prakhar Singh could you please tell me how did u root your phone LG optimus l5 E 455...

Wonderful!!
I was saved quite very much.
Thank you very much really!!

hi.
Many times, I'm sorry.
I'd like to do a backup of a ROM.
Because there are no custom recovery of "Pegasus2 plus",
I made a custom recovery.
But I failed.
Do you have a custom recovery?
If you have a custom recovery, I want that.
Thanks.

Where did you get this phone's official rom?
Can you make a custom recovery or custom ROM for this phone?
Even if you can not make it, I hope others will make it.

After installing this ROM ota update doesn't work.
How to fix it? What is the last number of ROM?

The Latest Version on my T550KLC, is LMY47V.CN-92.0.1.31-20150917
Is newer then the Downloads here... I bought it 1 Month ago.

If someone has a working custom recovery, please post it here, we would all be very grateful.
I have tried to portTWRP but touch does not work, otherwise it runs well, is only not usable just via the TWRP-Manager app, can I create backups and restore them.

I Try,
at first, be sure you have oem unlock and usb debbuging enabled in Developers options. And all Drivers for Windows installed.
I'm not sure if the unlock-oem switch in Dev-options unlock the Bootloader, that's why I use adb/fastboot to unlock it correct.
short:
install adb/fastboot, check if your device was found from adb (type commands in cmd):
Code:
adb devices
it shows if device was found then
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
let it reboot, now you are in fastboot mode
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
check unlock status
Code:
fastboot unlock-info
Code:
fastboot reboot
So you have a unlocked Bootloader for later use of TWRP!
Lets root your Asus
I tried many ways to root but they all don't work at the first try...
At the end I used the kingroot app from kingroot.net( try multiple times and reboots), if kingroot don't work, try Kingoroot app and Windows Version, from kingoapp.com (also multiple times and reboots)
After a lot of try's you have root.
Now you can install Flashify and RASHR from PlayStore and flash TWRP image.
I uploaded my ported TWRP image, but touch don't work, if you want to use my TWRP, you can install zip or create/restore Backups only with third party apps like TWRP-Manager...
I portet the TWRP.img from Asus Zenfone Selfie and Asus Zenfone 2 Laser, because they have the same specs.
I can't post Link to TWRP, use https://

No i have no Manual, search for Android Image Kitchen.
You need your Stock Recovery and a TWRP Custom Recovery from a matching Asus Device like Zenfone 2 Laser or Selfie...
Unpack both images with AIK (Android Image Kitche) you must copy two Files (I forgot whitch files) from Stock to Custom Recovery Image and the repack it.
Also touch don't work, we have to add the right touch-drivers to our custom image, because Zenfone Laser/Selfie have diffrent touch drivers then Pegasus2 Plus, but I'am not a pro in porting images to other devices.
Read some Posts here and watch youtube Videos to port.
Good Luck

Sorry, TWRP was not ported from Zenfone 2 Laser/Selfie
Sorry I confuse the images, I ported TWRP from an "Honor 5x" image, because Zenfone Laser/Selfie (Z00T) don't work.
I ported the Honor 5x image again today and reuploaded it. (smaller image now)
who want it,can download twrp-3.0.2-0-kiwi.img , here:

Hi I just got one of these phones. Do you have any plans on trying a custom rom? I'm also interested in a recovery. Kingroot works so thats a bonus. Really would like more settings options, coming from a Note II to this almost makes me want to go back.

Hi, at the time I plan nothing about custom rom or custom recovery. for this device there are neither recoverys nor roms. And there will probably be nothing in the near future.
I would also like to get away from this asus device because the ZenUI is bugy and there is no custom rom available.
If I have a new phone then I test custom rom of similar devices as asus selfie/laser or Honor 5x, maybe they work on Pegasus 2 Plus.

Yes, some apps like "Kernel Adiutor", read the values of the battery with 2000 mAh.
Kernel Adiutor shows me also 2000mAh. It can be an error of the app by reading the values or Asus cheating on us, with the Battery size....

I've now had this phone for a few weeks and it's battery is crap. I have tried a number of hware apps and all show 2000mAh and I believe it. Really crap battery. Also very unhappy with dialer, messaging etc. All are crap and are not intuitive at all. Too many features can't be adjusted and are virtually unsusable without adjustment.
Regarding Kingroot, I used it successfully but then realised it was constantly showing ads and sending data from my phone, so I uninstalled it. Unfortunately, without root you can't uninstall it completely. What a catch 22. Anyway. There are no custom ROMs available and no plans for an update from Lollipop, even though the phone is only a few months old. It's really a rubbish phone. Too bad there were no really honest reviews of it before I bought it. If you just look at the specs it looks like a terrific phone, but I am so depressed with the shockingly poor GUI by ASUS.

I agree with your opinion.
I asked asus about the battery, but I got the unanswered answer to go to the service center.
It will be good for the world that the dirty company like asus disappears.
This phone seems to have sold a lot because it is cheap.
Does anyone else who bought this phone have any talent?

Cannot install TWRP on FRD L14

I'm in the middle of trying to install TWRP tried multiple versions and different sites and flashed at least 5 different TWRP images and cannot boot into TWRP. I just end up at the EMIU recovery. Is TWRP not functioning for this model?
EMUI: 5.0
Android: 7.0

Hi there @WillDaBeast69. I actually purchased one of these and want to root it and such. I'm gonna be in your thread a bit trying to help you find a way and also help me and everyone else in the process to find a solution. If a solution is already available then hopefully someone else will post it.
AFAIK - currently I don't see anything regarding the L14 which is the 64GB version.
What I'd like you to do first is get back on the stock firmware. Unless you know where to find one, I'm going to say look for an UPDATE.APP somewhere for the L14. I'm going to do some searching as well. If you find it please post the link. If you find one that works and it's not on an official site (Honor site) then I'll also download it and upload to a central location that everyone can get to it.
Once you're back on the stock firmware, I'm going to ask you to try and get a TWRP image booted on the device. Not installed but booted. Once we have that up we can proceed.
*EDIT*
So after doing a bit of digging I found a link in someone's sig.
All thanks go to @Dominikrod for his sig which lead to this post.

But before we can proceed, we will need to get your phone back up and running if it's not already in a working state.
*EDIT*
So after following the instructions I got one of the L14's I have up and running rooted. The other one is giving me some trouble because I can't unlock the bootloader for some reason. Keeps telling me the code is wrong. Once I get it up and running I'll make sure I post pics of the process.
Confirmed working on EMUI5 - Android OS 7.

THANK YOU!!

Hoping you're still monitoring this thread or get a notification. I also just purchased the L14 and was disappointed to find that it is "special" as all the guides, firmware, etc that are available are for the L04. I was wondering what progress you've made since this post? Have you had any other issues, flashed custom ROMs, and if so, how did they work?
Also, have you had any luck finding current update.app/zip files for the L14? I found posts directing to an app called Firmware Finder which seems to pull up multiple copies but also read that those might somehow be locked and result in a brick/soft brick. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

From what's been happening to me, I think Huawei may be clamping down on allowing persons to unlock their bootloader and root the phones. I've not been able to get into the site at all - I've managed to root my wife's phone but mine.............nothing. Nothing works. I got the info directly from their site and it just won't work. I emailed them and they say that they don't assist individuals with bootloader unlock nor do they allow it - which seems to be new policy.
The instructions that are in the link I have works. As long as you got your bootloader unlocked you can install TWRP, SuperSU and root. If you go through the instructions in the link and need step-by-step assistance then just post back.

I try to install all the TWRP imgs on the links, I´m using the FRD-L14 B388, but after I reboot the phone after flashing the TWRP recovery pressing VOL + and VOL - , I received the message "Your device has been unlocked and cant be trusted.... Your device is booting now..." after some minutes it goes to EMUI recovery instead of TWRP.
Is there something I can do it to solve this issue?
Thanks in advanced!

Your device is booting now..." after some minutes it goes to EMUI recovery instead of TWRP.
Is there something I can do it to solve this issue?
Thanks in advanced!

This is normal after you unlock the bootloader. Unless you re-lock it you won't get rid of that error AFAIK. Small annoyance to pay for full root.

I also got honor 8 FRD-L14 version rooted with Magisk and stock EMUI 5.0.1. You should try Dolby atmos audio mod from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/soundmod-axon-7-dolby-atmos-t3412342 and also Google dose for Magisk to improve battery life.
Best wishes sir.

No problem. Anytime.
From what's been happening to me, I think Huawei may be clamping down on allowing persons to unlock their bootloader and root the phones. I've not been able to get into the site at all - I've managed to root my wife's phone but mine.............nothing. Nothing works. I got the info directly from their site and it just won't work. I emailed them and they say that they don't assist individuals with bootloader unlock nor do they allow it - which seems to be new policy.
The instructions that are in the link I have works. As long as you got your bootloader unlocked you can install TWRP, SuperSU and root. If you go through the instructions in the link and need step-by-step assistance then just post back.

Any chance that step by step assistance is still on the table? I'm revisiting the notion of unlocking and rooting but your previous post and the threads linked to it have me quite a bit lost. Do I have to go all the way back to build B162 to get it to work properly? I know my way around ADB and have unlocked every phone I've had going back to the first HTC Evo but all the different versions of this phone has me all turned around. :/
A walkthrough with direct links to files used would be greatly appreciated if you have the time.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Not a problem. I'll see what I can do. Will need a little time to compile the info.

Apologies. Vehicle issues that I'm sorting out have taken up my time.
So first thing we're gonna do is this. Go to this thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...-to-nougat-t3510275/post70396400#post70396400
Download the files there. You have an L14 and this thread I've linked to has files for that phone.
Next you want an SD card. An 8GB card should work. You will also need a hash checker like the one in the link below.
http://getmd5checker.com
Once you have all of those post back and we can proceed.

I used this guide to install TWRP on my FRD-L14 without a hitch:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-tested-root-t3443946
Is there a certain step you get caught up on? I just reverted back to stock after being on a custom ROM for a day so it is fresh in my mind.
This is the TWRP I used:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/twrp-t3566563

@dsEVOlve - you can try the link that @Deemo13 posted. I'll still be here to go through the step by step process. If you're available tonight I will also give you remote assistance in getting it done if you'd like the help that way.
https://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/previous-versions/
Go there and download version 11 if you'd like the remote assistance in getting this done. If we can agree on a time then I'll ask you to PM me the ID and PW.
Let's go through and see if we can get you setup.

Thanks for the offer of assistance. I think I've got the process now and the files needed to root. I was just wary before because nothing I came across specifically said it was for the L14 variant.
Just trying to figure out if I want to go the SuperSU or Magisk route. Any suggestions?
And the first link you provided utilizes build 360. How do I go about getting the latest build to flash? Firmware finder?

ROOTING Note 10

Hi all,
Someone know How can I Root my device?

You can not yet...

First stage would be unlocking the bootloader ... which Huawei now deny you the ability to do.
However it appears someone is offering a working unlock service.
People are reporting it's legit for the P20 / Pro.
Be careful though.

As a fresh owner of Honor Note 10 I was curious if it's possible to have the bootloader unlocked. Just finished chatting to the admin from the website and he claims that YES, they offer this service for 30EUR. But then I asked him if there's an actual way to root the device and he wouldn't know. My point here is: there's not much of a point to have an unlocked bootloader if you can't get the root on the phone. I think we will have to wait a bit longer till someone gets a working root method. I wouldn't mind to pay for having the bootloader unlocked (for reasonable amount of moneyh) as long as it works...

You can't have root without the unlocked bootloader.
So of course there isn't a root method yet ... because no-one was previously able to unlock the bootloader.
If that is now possible, then a root method will inevitably come.

Given Huawei's recent dull attitude that reads something like "LOCKED BOOTLOADER is for your safety only" (BLAH BLAH BLAH), reasonable doubt of a commonly available ROOT for this magnificent device is more than imminent...
But hope is all there's left, right

If one enterprising individual has found a way, and is charging €30, then others will find a way too, and will provide it for less / nothing eventually.
He's just the first, and good for him.

Hmmm... there seems to be some work in progress alright regarding a custom TRWP for Note 10, if the google translator works fine, that is:
https://translate.google.com/transl...m/thread-17327282-1-1.html&edit-text=&act=url
And the bootloader unlock code might get somewhat cheaper, too:

Let's wait and see, I guess

Just to keep this thread alive, does anyone happen to have an access to the Chinese Huawei club forum with TWRP recovery? I'm unable to download the img file there as it requires to have a chinese phone number to register on the site. All it takes is to have that file downloaded. I'd like to volunteer to unlock the bootloader, then flash the TWRP through adb interface and try to root the Note 10 with Magisk or SuperSU just to see if it works.
Anyone with Chinese Huwaei ID willing to download that file, as seen here:
https://club.huawei.com/thread-17327282-1-1.html
Any help is much appreciated!

https://pan.baidu.com/s/1-JF43jLbz2WcTMurYHm0Hw
Password : 6c52
Process :
Unzip the compressed file and copy the dload folder to the SD card.
forced upgrade:
1. Simultaneously press and hold the Note10 three physical buttons (volume up and down keys, power button) until you enter the recovery to upgrade
2. If the upgrade is successful, the machine will automatically restart into the system;
Tip: If there is a problem with the upgrade failure, please check whether the SD card upgrade package is copied to the specified directory and the upgrade package is the SD card upgrade package of the product.

Thanks for the help, much appreciated?.
The good news is I got my bootloader unlocked. The bad news is the apk file requires root, which I was hoping to obtain by flashing a custom TWRP image. I thought that's what it was available in that Huawei club Note10 forum...
Ah well, we have to remain patient till someone actually releases a working TWRP for Note 10. Sooner or later, I guess ?.
Cheers!

i know there are many pid sources but was waiting for someone to confirm they really work for note 10. Can you please share where you got it from?

Sure, I've posted the link already:
https://global-unlocking-solutions.miiduu.com/bootloader-unlock-codes-choose-model-below
I chose the fast 1-20min option and it was done that way, indeed. You must pay upfront, of course. They generated the unlock code for me and all I did was a few lines in cmd powershell while phone was in fastboot mode.
There's an ugly message coming up everytime I boot saying that my device has an unlocked bootloader?
But we need a custom CWM or TWRP image now?
I wonder if there's a stock boot image of Note 10 floating around online, perhaps in Huawei Chinese forums?

Just did some digging there and actually, you can find a working firmware file 125 for Note 10 online. Chances are even the latest 132 build is there somewhere on Chinese forums...
I'd recommended you to get the bootloader unlocked from the link above, if you have a good idea how to proceed with root? My skills are way too limited, I'm afraid?.

The good news is I got my bootloader unlocked. The bad news is the apk file requires root, which I was hoping to obtain by flashing a custom TWRP image. I thought that's what it was available in that Huawei club Note10 forum...
Thanks for your reports.
TWRP image file is included in K-RecTools_8e.apk.
Rename apk to zip and decompress it, you can get the twrp.img.

i will be a Guinea pig and see if it works. i should have my bootunlock code from the link above soon and looks like we have a twrp (hopefully it works) from a few posts back. i shall try and download fhe 108 firmware just in case i get bricked. when i get home. will keep you guys posted.

OK now. I managed to flash TWRP on the phone successfully. However after i tried to flash Magisk, the phone remains unrooted So it's a no for me. Any idea why?
There's a red error stating coming up twice: failed to unmount '/system' (Device or resource busy). But the Magisk zip get installed anyway. So what am I doing wrong?
EDIT: the bloody TWRP is password protected. My pin password doesn't do the trick...
EDIT 2: OK, just removed my lock screen in phone settings, no errors in TWRP anymore. But after I flashed Magisk (no erros again), phone still remains unrooted? What the hell?

[Recovery] TWRP for the Nubia Z18(NX606J)

Hey,
youyim123 recently made his TWRP build available that I was trying to compile myself. So without further ado, here is a more or less working TWRP for the Nubia Z18 with instructions of how to install it.
Link to recovery.img
How to install it:
Boot into bootloader using
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Unlock the bootloader using
Code:
fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX606J
Flash the recovery.img using
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
IMPORTANT! Navigate to "reboot to emergency recovery mode". Do not use
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
as it might not work correctly!
I found disconnecting the device from USB to be more reliable, so do that for stability
If it gets stuck, repeat steps 1 and 4. No need to reflash, just be patient
Language will be Chinese, so change that by using the settings button (second from below on the right)
That's it, you have a working TWRP now Enjoy!
EDIT: DO NOT TRY FLASHING MAGISK AS IT WILL DAMAGE DM-VERITY AND YOU'LL HAVE TO BOOT RESCUE YOUR DEVICE! YOU CAN USE MY recovery script in the bloat remover thread to fix your device
In case you get stuck in a bootloop, repeat the installation guide, then use
Code:
adb push stock.zip /data/media/0
and reflash stock firmware as a last resort until a custom ROM is available.
All credit for this goes to youyim123 and his amazing work! I know he struggled releasing this because his work is often used or redirected without his consent or giving him credit, so I'm grateful he decided to release it.

It is stable. Just make sure to unplug your phone after flashing it as otherwise it will probably get stuck after a few seconds. If you need to have your device connected to your pc, do the following:
Start adb sideload in TWRP, connect your phone to your pc, stop sideload. That way you have a working connection with adb again
Hope this helps!

i read somewhere in Nubia forums (chinese language), some dev is going to release TWRP for Z18, but it need poll to decide.
So that, i dont know this version on XDA is official or unofficial ? And as you said, if it is stable, so can i flash Gaap package to get full Goolge and service for Z18? have you tried ?

Already try few weeks ago, not working...!
The only temperary solution is "Google Space", or just wait for the global version release
As one Dev which working on LOS fot this machine point out that Lineage is very hard to compile since there's no other Dev help him, the System is block by something call AVB2...pretty ironic as this twrp not even let us using Magisk at all!

Please read the first post precisely and then the post in the nubia forum again. Youyim is the guy who made the poll and he made it public. I simply brought it to a wider audience and link to his official GitHub for the img.
You cannot flash Gapps with this because it errors. I said so a couple of times before and would appreciate a bit of effort reading before asking. You probably spent more time on writing this than you would've reading the first three post entries here, disregarding the fact that I'm trying to reply in detail. It's all in the first post, please read that before asking next time..
To sum up:
- It's the "official" TWRP from youyim, all credit goes to him
- You can not install Gapps with this, I haven't found a resolution for this but am working on an alternative. See my other thread or post #3 here

It's the same dev I'm the guy working on LineageOS as well and yes AVB2 (Basically think of it as Android's answer to secure boot on Computers) is a pain in the a** to deal with. Compiling itself is rather easy compared to the pain that comes after it, it's just killing lots of time and I unfortunately don't have that with a full time job. That's why I tried getting more people involved but (again) failed apparently.
TWRP doesn't have anything to do with Magisk either. Magisk is modifying the boot partition as far as I'm aware (don't hate me topjohnwu) and it relies on either no AVB/DM-Verity or a flag that doesn't work here either. TWRP in contrast just modifies/overrides the boot partition and is (mostly) used to flash many things including Magisk.

I think Z18 not have a global version, so we'll never see international firmware for this product. The only way I hope is some one or some dev support official method for install Google. And hope good news come soon.
Thanks all!

I can tell you an official method. Root your phone and rewrite google services to system. Otherwise wait until developers can take a look at Rom building like I do now or even better, get involved. Being a one man show isn't helping the cause even if you have a couple spectators because it makes you feel more or less like a monkey in a cage

https://www.gadgetsnow.com/mobile-phones/Nubia-Z18 for instance. India isn't global lol. They mostly just buy masses of phones and then resell. And yeah I can understand they won't release a global version anytime soon. The phone is great but looking at the source code, it's horrible. I even had to submit a patch so they get their build fixed!
As for the download, try the second one. Baidu is blocking anything non China by now afaik. It will also be included in the LineageOS ROM whenever I'll get that done..
