do I root the phone in this way?
Hi ..
if somebody would like to try the latest touch recovery from 4pda ..
Link to original 4pda thread
It´s same package as above with modified recovery.img. CMW Touch Version 6.0.3.0
Works for me without any issue.
*Keep in mind that you do ervery change at own risk
I flashed bootloader from this package and then recovery from ROM Manager. It works like a charm.
Would someone mind running the terminal command and sending me the file it creates dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/sdcard/L7p5.img ? I got a different device that is very closely related and after looking though the bootloader flash file unlocking your bootloader has something to do with partition 5. I just got to figure out which one of my partitions is the same as your partition 5. We have the same boot partition and also almost the same recovery your recovery is in p17 and mine is in p14.
has anyone tried this on jelly bean?
Which CWM that support create rom zip from cwm flash menu?
Should I try this on my LG Optimus L9 P769 running stock 20F Jelly Bean 4.1.2 firmware? I'm getting desperate for a unlock method that does not involve me flashing a kdz of a P760 causing mirroring of the touch screen.
Would this brick my device beyond any kind of recovery to stock?

Hi,
I've Xperia Pro MK16i, with stock 4.0.4 ROM, boot loader unlocked and rooted.
I really want to install recently released CM9-RC1 ROM but have been unsuccessful probably due to CWM recovery.
I was only able to install CWM auto installer which would only boot into recovery if i do it from within booted stock rom, but not manually when i reboot and try to go into recovery mode. i tried all key combinations like volume key down/up when at reboot sony logo flashes bright and led turns blue for a second.
Nevetheless i tried to install CM90RC1 by following official cyanogenmod instructions in which i failed when the guidelines states to fastboot and flash boot.img extracted from CM9-RC1.zip file and then reboot from fastboot. it just stuck there and would not even flash sony logo.
I relocked the bootloader and installed the stock ROM through Sony PC companion repair option.
Now i have again unlocked the bootloader and rooted. but not sure how to proceed now.
I guessed may be i need custom ROM with CWM recovery builtin. i came across this site
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315904&highlight=108
kindly guide me if the link above will help me installing Cyanogenmod ROM and does it come with CWM recovery built in.
Also whats the difference between multiple downloads on the above link like FXP129 and CM9 baseband?
What files do i have to download now, to install Cyanogenmod ROM?
Regards
Ok so I have an LG Optimus L9 P769 and I've rooted using Kingo method, and I'm looking for the best tutorials for:
1. Unlocking Bootloader
2. Installing CWM Custom Recovery for recovery boot(Like Odin for Samsung)
3. Nandroid backup
4. Flashing custom ROM
Any help is greatly appreciated, there's tons of material on here and I'm quite confused as to which ones I need to use. I've read how P760 stuff doesn't work on P769 and all the ways that following those tutorials for my model will cause me problems.
I wish this was easier.

1. Unfortunately there is no easy way or guarantee that you'll be able to unlock the bootloader. There's speculation that LG Encrypted the bootloader on the LK 2013 bootloader versions. The only variant that was officially Unlocked was the Euro Open model, hence why to attempt to unlock the bootloader you have to flash the Euro open kdz to the device and you end up with mirrored images and a barely responsive touch screen.
2. There is the L9 recovery installer - cwm bootstrap recovery for locked bootloaders. You CANNOT flash Custom ROMs with this cwm, you can perform nandroid backups and flash some zips with it though. To get started you have to install SuperSu and then install busybox v1.21.0 by stericson to the /system/xbin/ for the L9 recovery to work. Then install the L9 recovery installer, select JB/ICS stable version. After install select reboot to recovery. Then when the device restarts the 3 front keys will flash repeatedly (this means you have recovery access) while the keys are blinking press and hold the volume (-) down button and then it will boot to recovery... Immediately after booting into recovery make a nandroid backup, this is just in case after you boot from recovery to android os you might get an "Encrypting - Reset Phone" error (this is a busybox error) the nandroid backup you just made will save your butt if that happens. Once you have the recovery working properly you can then update the busybox version.
Here's the L9 recovery installer -

3. Once in recovery go to and select "Backup and Restore" then select "Backup to SD card" confirm backup and create a nandroid backup.
4. Without unlocking the bootloader you cannot flash any custom ROM's. Kuma82 made a really nice Stock, themed and rooted ROM that you can flash through cwm. You can check it out here -

Good luck
So, I think I finally did it. I broke my phone.
I wanted to flash the new Existenz Rom 6.0 and the flashing worked fine. The phone started and it got stuck in the Xperia logo. I than downloaded the Bootloop Fix. To make sure nothing goes wrong I wanted to do another factory reset. Somehow, my phone uses two roms (Philz custom recovery or something like that (I flashed the rom with this) and a TWRP Recovery). My phone booted into the TWRP (which it usually doesn't do) Recovery and I thought "Well, I can do a factory reset here". So I did the advanced reset but after restarting I can't access anything! When I turn it on, there is still the Sony Logo but if I press up and down I can't access none of the custom recoverys. I'm truly desperate and I can't afford a new phone. Can someone help me how to fix this?

XZDR and similar recoveries for locked bootloader reside in /system partition , when you wiped your system you also wiped the recovery...
You'll need to flash an .ftf firmware with flashtool to recover your phone. If you want root and a locked bootloader flash a KK or LP ftf (as MM is not rootable yet), then root it with kingroot or something else you like, install XZDR from your computer and then you can go to the recovery again and flash existenz rom or any prerooted rom you want.
You could also flash a MM .ftf directly but then you won't be able to root it without unlocking your BL.
If you need help with flashtool follow this guide:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/03/1...peria-lollipop-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool/
Edit: the first steps of this guide are to create your own .ftf , if you already have an .ftf downloaded you can go straight to the "Now that the FTF firmware file has been created, you need to flash your Sony Xperia device." section of the guide.
Hi XDA members!
I found a way to root my device without unlocking my bootloader.
I found a way to unlock my bootloader without wipping my data.
But now I tried to flash a custom TWRP build, but everytime I try I get an error..
Flashify not work with pie
Flashfire don't work with magisk
Flasher's not work with pie too (on new mtk device)..
I found my recovery is in "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2".
I "dd" it into "/sdcard/stockrecovery.img" but my recovery partition is stock (32mb) and the dd file is 23mb so I don't want to flash directly there I case of bootloop.
I received my new computer in around 2 week and I need custom recovery to dev something..
Someone can help me?

before you do this you should backup all your important data
1-wipe data factory reset
2- wipe cache
3- install zip rom
4- download google apps and install it by recovery it should be a zip file
5-repot system and enjoy
the recovery is like twrp or cwm it's not a kernel
there is 2 type of kernel :
1-kernel itself
2-kernel with merged recovery
about the kernel and recovery, there is deference the kernel is very important for system to work it connects between the hardware and the software and every operating system has its own kernel but here in android they sometimes merge kernel with recovery but when you flash-kernel or recovery every one replace each other be careful and know that, don't worry you won't brick something in the near future when you will install custom ROMs you will notice that.
if you need any help you can ask me
