[Q] TWRP or CWM for LG G2 Mini, D618 - LG G2 Mini

Hello, i see in the development post, the cwm and twrp for the LG D620, but, my device is D618, the recovery will work on it? the chipset of the two models are the Snapdragon 400, the difference is the LTE support. I think my bootloader is unlocked, i used the 4pda unlock.
Sorry for my english
EDIT:
I flashed the D620 recovery, the device still working, but, when i try to enter in recovery mode, my device stop on a screen with a LG Logo and
[520] fastboot_init()
[620] USB init ept @ 0xffdc000
[640] udc_start()
but the device still working, but recovery mode no
EDIT 2
the command fastboot oem unlock work! the error that i get when i try to enter in recovery, is because of wrong recovery

Yes, looks like the kernel in the recovery doesn't work for you.
Send me your boot.img and i can see what i can do.
But give me some time as i am traveling at the moment.

Two possibilities:
1) in ADB shell or Terminal emulator:
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img
2) use a flash app like Rashr and and make a backup of your kernel.
Both is the same.

here is the boot backup, https://www.dropbox.com/s/abldujufn3kypwy/LG-D618_boot.img
with functional recovery, have an interest to help in the development of custom roms, my knowledge is not as high, but learn with ease

How did you unlock your bootloader? please tell me!

Here.I have just built cwm for d618. But i have'n tested it because i don't know unlock bootloader. U can flash and test it. Remember format your sdcard to ext2 or 4.

Does it work? Can't see how it should work. Maybe as temporary recovery.
OK, analysed it. It is an fake flash update.zip for usage with existing recovery.
May work as temporary CWM if it is signed correct.
For Testing
Find attached CWM-Recovery image to flash via dd or an app like rashr or flashify.
Works with FAT32 SDCARD.
Make sure you have an unlocked bootloader.
Make a backup of your current backup before flashing.
Do it on your own risk!
It is not tested since i have D620R.
Cheers,
Zaaap

Thank you a lot. Did you build cwm by cm source?

Zaaap72
Do you think the hack bootloader hacked will work on all version of LG G2 Mini D618? Based on the link the software version of the hack is for V10d and mine is V10c. Don't want to brick my phone, I really want to install the CWM you build for the D618. :good:

Yes, it is build from latest CM 11 source and gives you CWM 6.0.5.0.
The kernel is the original from boot.img.
Last night I successful compiled the kernel from LG source the first time and tried it on my D620r.

I don't know.
I only own a D620r and have only one firmware version of it.
But you can check if aboot changed from V10d to V10c using a hex editor.
If you can understand Russian got to 4PDA.ru.
They did all the hacking original.
What ever you do to the low level partitions of your phone, you always risk a brick.
If you don't want to take the risk leave your phone original.
It is a good phone anyway.
For me it is also a hobby/toy to tweak it.
If it bricks I have a new hobby to unbrick it .

Thanks for the advise Zaaap! :good: Maybe I'll try to stick to stock for the moment. Maybe I'll wait for LG's announcement regarding unlocking the bootloader, I just hope they offer it also for other LG users who is not using their flagship devices.

Some of this cwm will work on a D625?

Could you please reboot to the faulty recovery and try to adb your phone.
Tell me the result.
Boot back to normal, use a root explorer, go to /cache/recovery and send me the log if there is any.
Thank you.

The recovery you have is not a true recovery, it's a 2nd init. It lives on your system.img a real recovery lives in a recovery.img.

Correct, it relies on the system.img (/system) to work. For example, if you remove /system/bootstrap or busybox it won't work anymore. A true recovery does not need the system.img to operate.
The 2nd init cwm is a recovery, but one mistake and you will softbrick your system.

Internal sdcard mount at /sdcard not /data/media
There're option to select internal/external backup & restore, at the folder title. At first I confuse because default backup location is internal.

CWM non-touch version is built with every CM rom but it a little inconvenient to use. Touch CWM can be built from http://builder.clockworkmod.com/. P760 is already in its support devices.
I think TWRP is more usable and faster (without md5 check). I also use touch CWM for P768 for a long time before switch to TWRP.

It's don't work in nandroid manager even if you put /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 in destination.
The safest way to flash it is via fastboot.
But I've tried another method by using dd. But you need shell access to do it, and if you make some mistake you may soft brick your phone.

[Testing] CWM Recovery G2 Mini [D620]

Hello,
My name is ali, I am here trying to make a cwm recovery for your beloved device, and since I did not have this device, so you can help me to try and give the results.
because lg does not recognize FAT partitions, You can try to create an ext2 partition on your sdcard ext then use this method to install recovery : forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52214999
Here is the link of recovery (update.zip) : update.zip
Please provide the results asap, and do with your own risk.
This won't work as there is no way to unlock bootloader or bypass locked bootloader yet.
Will have to try and backup my phone first before doing this, this is my primary device
Edit: why is there 2 scripts in the folder?
One says phil the other one is yours.
Update:
Updater-script is phils
Updater-script~ is your's
Please fix this before testing, you have different mounting points in each also.

This device's bootloader is locked and noone knows how to unlock it. If someone installs a custom image (kernel, recovery, etc) then the bootloader will detect it and cancel the bootup.

Hi Guys
Here's Ali's recovery file with a possible fix, I hope it won't brick my device over the weekend.
Alifilth, I still think the update script file you got in your original is a possible cause.
Edit:
Alifilth, your zip file is buggy as hell, normally I can trace files but you got:
"# Launches SuperSU in daemon mode only on Android 4.3+.
# Nothing will happen on 4.2.x or older, unless SELinux+Enforcing.
# If you want to force loading the daemon, use "--daemon" instead
/system/xbin/daemonsu --auto-daemon &
# Some apps like to run stuff from this script as well, that will
# obviously break root - in your code, just search this file
# for "install-recovery-2.sh", and if present, write there instead.
/system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh"
and a recovery.img file that's suppose to do what?
This file is not recommended to anyone and I'm removing the file that I uploaded.
Not working here:
Code:

Try the recovery.img itself:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
Result:
Device can not boot to recovery, it displays:
[520] fastboot_init()
[620] USB init opt @ 0xffe0000
[640] udc_start()
LG logo shown ... I waitet 5 minues at that stage .. nothing.
Normal reboot worked.
dd back my original recovery
So I think my bootloader is unlocked but I don't know since I have nothing to test.

It probably is since it didn't display a "Security Error".
You should try adb reboot bootloader. And fastboot devices while it displays that and when the logo appears.

@Zaaap72 has hacked the bootloader (aboot) for the G2 Mini.
No need for Loki any more
I must've missed something somewhere, my bad.
Update:

[RECOVERY] TWRP 2.8.0.0 for LG F70 D315

[DEV]TWRP RECOVERY FOR LG D315 F70​
Warning : This operation involves risk. XDA community or me can not be held responsible for any problems​
Hi everyone!
Well, Since this smartphone is somewhat forgotten in the Android community, I decided to work on it ! I unlocked the fastboot and ported TWRP Recovery for the LG F70 ! It works on the D315, for others I really don't know ... But since I did the porting myself it must be considered as an alpha version x ') The only problem is I had to use a theme for TWRP, because the default theme was too big for this phone :/ Well you might say, it is nice like that ! The themer is "z31s1g". Anyway. If some people want to test and give feedback, this is here ​
First, make sure your phone is rooted (you can do it with towelroot) and make sure you have the Android SDK installed, and the LG drivers.
Download my attachment and extract it on your computer.
Right now you have to activate fastboot, fastboot is hidden behind the download mode, so backup your download mode :
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf of=/sdcard/laf.img.
And now set zero the download mode with this command, then reboot :
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf
adb reboot
Now you have replaced the download mode by fastboot. Let's start fastboot, to do so, you have to turn off your phone, hold Vol+ button and plug in the USB cable.
On the console, do this command to check if phone is connected and detected.
Code:
fastboot devices
There should be a random sequence of numbers, and "fastboot" displayed.
So now we will proceed to flash the recovery with this command :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery c:\PathToTheRecoveryImage\recovery.img
Then reboot with this command :
Code:
fastboot reboot
Done ! This is my first tutorial in english... I'm a 17 years old french user, excuse me if my english is bad x)
************************************************************************************
UPDATE HERE, BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED AND NEW RECOVERY
************************************************************************************
Thanks in advance if someone want to test it and post a feedback, I will make a little list of what's working / not working (I already tested it, I didn't see nothing right now Enjoy !

Hello, it seems that only me and you have this phone. So, I'd like to root my phone, do you think that I could use towelroot without risk?
I think I'll try your guide too... after root
Thanks in advance
Yes, you can use Towelroot, but for the recovery, remember it's only a first test, and I don't know if the bootloader is locked... but the recovery seems to work
good. towelroot works well and I have no problem since now. do you think I could install gravity box in this phone with stock rom? how can I unroot this phone? thanks in advance
It was not able to enter the Fastboot
Hi. I thank you TWRP who porting. I have not imagined and think you made using the TWRP in the F70 model. However Execution has not been in the loading screen of the download mode it is not possible that you have used the dd if = / dev / zero of = ~~ command as described in your article, but to enter the fastboot.
How can I do? I use F370s model.
I'm sorry. I use google translations...

I think yes. I've Singapore's version of D315 and flashed a Hungarian D315 rom with no problem.
You can download some ROMs from 4pda F70 Flash thread.

I've used this tool (this tool has a tutorial on its page). After flashing you have to root again.
Duble check to be sure that you have lg d315 model and downloaded lg d315 firmware!
This is the model of my phone. It didnt say it is d315. But i read it its the same only it is the korean version. See attached image. Should i go continue flash?and what is the consequence if i use different rom for my phone?

There is no guarantee for a successful firmware flash.
What if flashing failed? Can i revert back?

If flashing failed you will have to disassemble a bootloader and to correct security checks inside.
So, It's possible but VERY hard.
Hi all ! I just worked on this phone night and day x)
I just unlocked the bootloader, and made a CWM port (I personnally prefer CWM x) ) And i'm working to make a port of Cyanogenmod 11, but i'm only 17 y-o and... Well, that's too hard for me x) I've compiled it, with bin blobs, and other stuff, all the config files, etc, but it's not working YET x) (If anyone want to help me I can share my project...) Well :
/!\ For Recovery to work, you MUST unlock the bootloader by this method, this is very simple (Thanks to Zaaap72) /!\
CWM 6.0.5.0 : CWM 6.0.5.0.img
Method to unlock bootloader (not by me) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/development/bootloader-unlock-t2827748
The G2 Mini (D620) Has the same architecture as the F70, I mean Qualcomm msm8226, Snapdragon400, Same amount of ram, etc, BUT, not the same screen... And I'm trying to adapt the cutom kernel, and sources of D620 CM11 for my F70 x) Again, If anyone can/want help me
(Remember that the recoveries I made are in beta-test, this is my first try, and I will update them in the future, If you find any bugs, tell me, or modify the .img by yourself with AIK and upload the image for me Thanks !)
Have a nice day guys
KuroHaki, what version of device (D315/F370), device region and firmware (v10a/b/c...) bootloader did you use to unlock? Zaaap72's unlock method is very risky and unstable solution. The best solution is on 4pda, Anyway you're done!
You can try to make a recovery image with LG-L70 recovery binary and F70 kernel. It may work, I've made like that before with MTK devices.
I have a v10b D315, and I used the 4-bytes method, on aboot and abootb, it awesomely worked I played with chance on this, and it worked x) If anyone want to test it on another firmware/model of F70... And for the Image, I don't need recovery, I need a Kernel that can boot Cyanogenmod, because the LG sources make my phone bootloop on the LG first logo... I tried with Zaaap port of Quarx sources, with no success... Kernel compilation is very hard for me, I had many errors with Drivers on Quarx source, I changed the files with errors with files from LG source, and It compiled, but not worked... I don't understand why... Well, if anyone have a solution for this kernel... x)
I am the owner LG F70 phones and watches this topic for a long time but did not move anything, whether it was by the opportunity to do any ROM for this device ?
Wow! Thanks for this Recovery!!!! Was looking a while for twrp on the F70! :good:
I did flash the recovery successfully with the method in the OP. However, when I reboot to recovery (adb reboot recovery) it failed to boot TWRP - a screen showed 'secure boot error' then there were was a dump screen with lots of drives mounted to my linux pc.
This is likely because I didn't unlock the boot loader right? However, the method provided to unlock looks a bit too risky - especially since I dont have a recovery to restore if the stuff break the system. Anyway, thanks for this!
@up
I don't think so the unlock bootloader it's dangerous. I have done files aboot and abootb so i can send you.
Russian LG bootloader guru Andrew-New from 4pda has made a patched bootloader for lg d315 from v10b aboot.bin as I've requested him.

The device boots fine (no longer infinite bootloop), but once it has powered up, the touchscreen doesn't work.
I have rebooted several times and no help.
In TWRP even the touch works.
Can You fix this? @Nimadroid

Upgrade from 7.0
Hi,
quick question:
I am on 7.0 with root and DRM fix comming from here: "[Guide] Nougat with DRM fix, root and TWRP* (SGP771)".
Can I simply flash kernel and TWRP as you described on top of these or do I have to restart with any TFT's on 7.11?
Thanks a lot and best regards

If you're using SGP712 you need to flash the proper recovery for that device, the one in OP is for SGP771
This one is the correct one (also linked 3 posts above): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298956222
Well .. actually OP and your´s in 3rd post and here are all 3 the same
Like said tried these here, from androPlus thread, etc etc ...
Flash via fastboot is working but cannot enter recovery after flashing
Tried to access via Power button, volume button, adb command, ... i dont even have a led signal at power on

oh, didn't notice, although I'm pretty sure the one in OP was different
It's booting on my device, but the first time I tried it didn't. I think it booted when I accidentally flashed it on the boot partition instead of the recovery one maybe you can try that.
but before, try hot booting it with:
Code:
fastboot boot ~/Downloads/TWRP-3.1.1-lineageos-karin_windy-20170520.img
Hotboot endet in an Bootloop but flashing recovery to Boot helped! Many many Thanks
€dit: Ok my bad didnt work ....
Hotboot didnt work
Flashing recovery to boot did boot up Twrp - Wiped cache/dalvik, flashed SU, Tablet constanty reboot into TWRP instead of system
Flashed Kernel/Boot to Boot - Tab boots into system but no root
Tried to reboot into recovery - no luck
