[Q] Lg Ls620 (realm) custom recovery

I was trying to find a custom recovery, or any recovery that will work on my lg realm. I boot recovery and it gives me a error message so im guessing its either wiped out or blocked...any ideas out there on how to correct or replace it

Looking for one as well. I have not found one.

Recovery is actually preinstalled
I found this just tooling around. Use your favorite file browser, I used
Total commander. /system/vender/itson
The zip file is there. Hope this helps. (Rooted LG ls620)

Could you explain in a little better detail on what you mean Enigmatic177... I'm pulling my hair out Hehe

If anyone makes or finds a working recovery please post it.

Itson is a zip file that was installed after last update it has the basics to unlock the boot loader. I unpacked it used Rom toolbox pro rebooted to RECOVERY did regular reboot system upgraded.
A couple if bit mapp errors 11111. Then I basically flashed CWM.
Before you do this the partitions change from ext2-ext4. I'd advise
Backing them up.

TWRP recovery help L620 LG Realm
hello I followed the steps in the read me file and i succeeded in installing twrp although im having troubles booting up to my system os. when i power on my device it takes me straight to twrp. i have a feeling i might of missed a step. i tried creating a backup but i cant because i noticed my screen turns off fast. do you think you might know what might be the problem why i cant boot up to my os? thanks!

I think i know what seems to be the problem. I think i might have accidentally replaced the boot img with the twrp recovery img. i did not make a backup before this happened. is there anything i can do to make my phone boot up to its normal image? thanks

Nope. It is officially a paperweight and no one I know of has access to the stock ROM either.
Sent from my LGLS620 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Hey
Has anybody found a custom rom?

Finally. Easy as pie
Ok, I downloaded an image (w5c_twrp_bumped.img)
put that img on the root of my sd card
downloaded Rashr from the google play store
opened rashr and tapped 'recovery from storage', navigated to external sd and tapped the image and tapped
ýes please'
flashed it. after the flash the phone rebooted into the twrp recovery.
then just rebooted back into the system
worked perfectly.
im new here im not allowed to post outside links yet, just google "w5c_twrp_bumped.img" should take you to a link for a download of that recovery
i got twrp now as a custom recovery. on my lg realm.

You have the bumped recovery so all i can say if u messed up is to flash a stock rom u can find on google i had to re flash mine a few times messing with root

right on, thanks for the info. I had no problems at all. it all fell in place like i was hoping. The Realm is the easiest device Iv ever rooted, flashed, and messed with. Well, as far as rooting and flashing a custom recovery. dunno bout roms though. Im sure its simple?

OK, I grabbed and extracted this. I used Flashify to simply flash the recovery (w5c_twrp_bumped.img) and it works like a dream on my LG Realm.
OTOH, trying the same on an Exceed 2 gets me TWRP, but it cannot mount much of anything and the backup fails. After failing, it tells me "No OS found, continue?" I continue and get the message "Appears your device has no Root, install now?' I am absolutely certain I have root, or wouldn't even be able to run Flashify, so I continue and it simply boots into the OS just fine. Perhaps the readme isn't complete, as I see the following file in the extracted folder (resources.zip) with no explanation of why it's there. It "appears" to be a flash-able zip that installs "itson" (whatever THAT is). Note that the Realm has this in the /system/vendor/itson, yet the Exceed 2 doesn't.
Have you actually used this on an Exceed 2? And if so, what am I missing here?

I'll do you one better. Just forget about the post you replied to, as it's convoluted as hell. Install TWRP 2.8.6 from here. Ignore the big red warning about the Realm, as he evidently hasn't updated the OP. You can view my notes regarding the Realm in this reply. Tested several times and verified working better than anything else available. Easiest recovery to install I've ever dealt with (all done with an .apk). The option to access via cold boot (battery pull procedure) is something to behold
Be sure to thank the developer, even if you need to create an account to do so. Very VERY nice work!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Before you replied I installed the version 2.8.5 from here:
http://androidforums.com/threads/twrp-2-8-5-0-for-realm-ls620-and-exceed-2-vs450pp.908704/
Is 2.8.6 better? Looks like the 2.8.5 can't be booted into via key combo from power off? Are there any other differences? I just used the Rashr flash tool from the market to flash 2.8.5. Worked flawlessly. This is actually my mom's phone and it wanted to do a system upgrade but I wanted to back it up first so that's the reason I wanted a recovery.
Pretty cool though, this recovery installs just via an APK!!!? That's amazing!
I'm tempted to install this on her phone next time she comes over... it should be fine right?
Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!

That one will cold boot with the battery pull procedure too. A little further down that thread you'll see I modded it to work correctly with the Exceed 2 in addition to the Realm. I like the 2.8.6 better if only that the dates of the backup are correct now. The 286.apk will work fine and overwrite your current recovery. If you leave it installed, you can always open it and reboot to recovery from within the app. If I have more time I'll post a screenshot, but running late for work. I think the screen dimming/timeout issue was fixed as well, but I haven't verified that. I normally disable that in TWRP anyway, as I like to monitor what it's doing during a backup/restore in case of errors.

[Fix] Stuck on T-Mobile Splashscreen

Fixed it.

Galaxy J727P
TechNash said:
Hello, I've been needing some help.
So, I finally figured out how to flash TWRP onto my Samsung Galaxy J7 (2015) (SM-J700T)
I was in the recovery mode, and was flashing magisk root.
When I flashed it, the device said success, so I rebooted the phone.
I saw an error saying:
Verification Failed:
We were unable to restart your phone. The integrity verification has failed. Please reset your phone.
*reset*
I honestly didn't have pictures or anything, so I pressed it. Every time I pressed it I would boot into TWRP or recovery mode.
I couldn't figure it out, but I did some googling and it has happened to people before. People with TWRP, no root. TWRP with root, and people whom had, no root at all.
One reply said to wipe it using TWRP recovery. I pressed the wipe button and slid the thing that said Factory Reset
It would say Error mounting /data
I scrolled some more on the thread and someone said to format it, people said they had success.
now, this is where I am having an issue
It successfully rebooted, but I sit on the T-Mobile Logo. I haven't gone longer than 5 minutes, so maybe I need to wait a while.
Good news:
Successfully installed TWRP.
Am able to mount /data now.
Can still access TWRP (With terminal and flashing, all of that).
Can still modify /data.
Can still boot into Odin/Download mode.
Am able to get to the T-Mobile logo.
Bad news:
Potentially soft bricked my phone, within a matter of 30 seconds.
Phone info:
SM-J700T
Samsung Galaxy J7 2015

Nope, I don't. You have been posting misleading threads a lot lately, and I'm aggravated with it.
I just entered Odin mode and pressed cancel to trick the phone into thinking that I uninstalled root. Maybe you should read the full situation before posting some solution that I said I already tried. Plus, my situation had nothing to do with deleting files, my storage was just corrupt.

U would stop having issues if u would follow posts. Every single issue u posted has been addressed and resolved. You are in the wrong section. Should be in the J700T sub forum. That verification fail error is due to u not flashing the encryption break no verity zip. U must flash that after flashing anything. As one of the sole developers for this device I promise you I know that phones file system better than anyone. And what 8.1 rom are u running? There is no such thing unless u compiled one..
And no your files aren't corrupted, they're encrypted.big difference. We dissected those errors over 2 years ago.
You could not have "tricked" your phone into thinking u had root removed, u got it to boot cuz u opted for not being able to mount internal storage due to the existing encryption

I need to edit build.prop file on my J3 without root. Is it possible?

Hello team. I need to edit build.prop file on my J3 but I cannot root.
My understanding is that this is possible using custom recovery, just mount the system partition and push and pull the file file with adb. The problem is my handset (SM-J330FN) is running Android 8, and I think only custom recovery exists for Android 7. I tried installing the TWRP I found for Android 7, but the phone just boot loops, get stuck at Samsung logo and reboot. Don't think I can use this Android 7 TWRP with Android 8.
So next plan, I tried to wipe and install Android 7 firmware instead, but Odin said no. I take UK BTU firmware from updato.com the same way I do with Android 8 but it gets to the first stage and Odin says FAIL!
Can anyone provide a suggestion for how I can edit build.prop without root? I don't care how - maybe I can find a custom recovery for Android 8, maybe someone can help with why I can't install the Android 7 firmware, maybe someone knows of a way I can do a 1 time boot to recovery image (have used "fastboot reboot recovery.img" in the past but am aware that Samsung bootloader does not support fastboot). Maybe I can do it with root and remove the root after? Root needs to be not detected so I can use certain tools.
Any advice hugely appreciated

You obviously ignored my reply I gave you yesterday.
As I already stated TWRP fully supports your device on Oreo.
Your issue is not reading the thread properly.
All you need to do is explained in the TWRP OP.

Hello, if you look at the times you will see that i made this post before I commented on yours!
I did not ignore your message, I just had not seen it yet.
As it turns out, you were right - I just tried again, taking extra care to follow instructions exactly and this time it works.
Leaves me with mixed feelings, because I am really grateful for the great development work you have done to help people like me, but also the way you are speaking to me above was a bit rude and I do not deserve that just for a small mistake. I was polite.
Thank you regardless.

There's a difference between being rude and being direct.
I am the latter.
Nothing personal was included in my reply nor was it intended to be.
You're upset, but I also get upset when people cannot seem to take the time to read the descriptive instructions I've included in my posts.
Trust me, it takes far longer for me to create this stuff than for yourself or anyone else to read and apply the instructions.
Don't be offended it's just frustration from my end manifesting itself in my posts.

Bricked S8+

Hello,
I have a problem with my S8+, I will type bellow what i did to end up in the situation i am now, in the hope that someone can help me:
I installed a Custom Rom.
After successfully installation i rooted my device using Magisk.
I was curiously browsing Magisk modules in the Magisk Manager and installed a module named Miracast, i think it was this one .
After installing i was prompted for a reboot and proceeded.
After that my phone went dark and now i can only boot into donwload mode.
I downloaded the official Rom from this post to try and fix it, but when i try to install it using Odin I get the following errors :
https://ibb.co/Gt61d3t
https://ibb.co/x2sSv1x
Is there anything i can do to save the phone, or can i just throw it away?
If there is something i can still do, please lay it to me simple as possible, step by step if you got the patience.
Thank you!

No worries. You're trying to downgrade from binary 5 to binary 4 and that's why it fail.
Download a firmware where the first number is 5, like FXXU5. and it should be ok.

I was trying to root my phone but i failed, doing so many wrong steps,now my samsung a7 is bricked, i cant charge it and i cant power it on, i also tried connecting it to a pc but the pc cant recognize it, any advice please to fix this? I really dont know what should i do now, thank you so much guys.

Can you talk us through the steps you did.
Is usb debugging enabled?
You may be able to use the samsung flashing software to recover but if you missed 1 or maybe 2 steps and have now wiped the device fully then you need to RMA. No os then no proof of your actions for a warranty claim to be rejected

enter download mode and flash firmware from Odin3

Im really sorry but i was actually not hard bricked, i thought i was hard bricked and i eventually got it turned on, so here is the whole story, i was about to root my phone and i watched a tutorial on how to but for some reason i trusted myself and didnt watch the video so i got into this situation, i enable USB debugging and OEM unlock( it deletes all of my files like a factory reset) i didnt know that i have to paste the magisk and the magisk apk to my phone and i flashed the bootloader thing from the tutorial i watched and then after that i decided to watch the tutorial and to my surprise the tutorial paste the magisk, so i panicked, i dont know what to do and i thought i was stucked at the downloading process so i decided to search more while panicking and i found that tenoshare Reiboot and Ult has this feature that will exit you to the downloading and now i tried them both but it failed, and i panicked more because now my phone just wont stop bootlooping so i just decided to drain its battery because its built in, i also tried flashing twrp but it cause me more panicking because it kind of glitches more so good thing i tried to go to downloading again by connecting to a pc and it worked, and the good thing is that the file i downloaded has a recovery flashable thing so i flashed it again, i escaped the teamwin bootloop and now i tried researching more causing me to figure it and i think i need to download the firmware again, but here is my biggest problem, i dont know the original place of the phone(i only know the country because its like a phone given only to me) i also dont know what is the original patch security of my phone( idk if its safe to just download the latest of the firmware) thank you for any advice

All you need is the correct firmware for your specific model number for your specific region/carrier and the firmware must have a binary that is equal to or higher than the binary of your currently installed firmware. The binary is indicated by the 5th character from the right in the firmware build number. Find that character in the build number of your currently installed firmware and compare it to the same character in the build number of the firmware that you want to flash. If the binary of the firmware that you want to flash is equal to or higher than the binary of your currently installed firmware then you can safely flash it, if the binary is lower than the binary of your currently installed firmware, you will not be able to flash the firmware that has a lower binary.

Hi, i just wanna know if i want to root my phone, is it important to unlock bootloader? And if yes, how should i do it in a samsung a7? Thanks!

Hi, i was planning to root my samsung a7 but i have a question that i dont know the answer, if OEM Unlock is enabled, USB debugging is also already enabled, why my OEM unlocked says bootloader is already unlocked even thought its still blue and not gray? Do i need to void my warranty and make OEM unlock colored gray or is blue enough? Thanks for all advice
