If you had read the last couple of pages on the link you posted you would have know that is a known problem.
Read them. I think someone figured a workaround.

Classic problem if you update over OTA, go in the twrp and open the terminal :
first that : ' dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota '
second : ' dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc '
now just reboot system

Your board certainly isn't dead. But if you don't need it, send your board then to @Quarx to have one, because his board burned with white smoke .

Went to reboot just booted back to cwm. looked at install zip from /sd card only have one directory /clockworksmod/. installed lg drivers on pc but its still not recognizing phone. i have downloaded the stock rom on to my pc just need a way to put it on phone. cant put it on a sd card as phone does not have a slot for one. try to go into boot loader screen but just get cwm recovery. there are no backups. ADB does not recognize phone. cant use factory restore as it just goes to cwm recovery screen.
Sorry if its in the wrong place.

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.

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.

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.

Do you work on Lg D620?
Dear XDA Members,
I´ve currently downloaded the software update which came out yesterday and my phone asked me if i wanted to update. I did so, and afterwards it rebooted straight into TWRP. I´ve tried several things like rebooting, mounting, erase dalvin cache etc. etc.,
In the end I also totally erased all files on my phone (which i believe was the most stupid thing I can do) and that´s why I am here right now:
I´ve got my LG G2 International version which has only TWRP on it.
My Question is now:
How can I get a custom rom on the internal memory? (Don´t really now how to work ADB Sideload)
How can I mount the device because it does not get recognised if I do the mounting within TWRP?
Literally every help is hiiiighly appreciated!

From the TWRP terminal command (from the Main Menu > Advanced) type:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
then hit Enter
type
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc
then hit Enter
Then reboot. If it doesn't fully reboot, you should be able to at least get to Download Mode to reinstall the stock firmware.

I have recently installed CWM on my E425f, and a few days later it installed an update from LG. Then it asked me to reboot, but open reboot, my mobile is now stuck on recovery. If I tell CWM to "reboot to bootloader", it then stays stuck on the LG logo.
Things I have tried so far without success:
* Do a factory reset, and wipe the cache and the Dalvik cache
* Format /system and install a clean LG ROM
* Flash LG_G3_Flash2FixStuckRecovery.zip, which runs the commands:
Code:
/sbin/busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota;

Your device does not support by-name partitions don't mess with dev/block if you don't know exactly what are you doing. Flash kdz for your device. There are tutorials around.

Dude try flashing it again with a clean firmware using kdz updater. You better know the pre-requisites in using it. Make sure your phone is at download mode when you flash using kdz updater. don't worry your phone's just taking a bit of a rest. just follow instructions very well.
If ever you fail using kdz updater, try using the Lg Mobile Support Tool.
Kindly post here any update that you may have.

I was able to flash it with the "Upgrade Recovery" option on a desktop. It never worked on my laptop, which I believe to be related to the message that I receive while charging the battery from the USB port: "Battery is charging slowly due to low electric current of TA/USB.". I think there is just not enough power from my laptop USB ports to flash the KDZ. Thank you for your attention!

Hi Guys,
I've got a SGP511 WiFi only (castor_windy), with root access and an unlocked bootloader. but to install AOSP 7.1 I need to update my version of TWRP to 3.0.0.
I installed TWRP via TabZ2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26 batch file and can access recovery but every time i select install look at my SD card and change to images and select the castor_winsy 3.0.0 image i dont get an option to install to recovery i only get kernel how do i resolve this ?
I have re flashed FW (KitKat) via flashtool loads of times
rooted
installed TabZ2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26 batch file
and every time i get the same option.... cant flash to recovery or boot only kernel
i have attached a screenshot so that nobody thinks i am going mad
can you please help me thanks :fingers-crossed:
It's been a while since I used TWRP 2.8.XX...so no idea what's the issue there but I'd just flash TWRP recovery via fastboot. Worked for me without any problems :good:

Hi ... Is that using the ADB fastboot recovery TWRP.img?
I am on KitKat just wondering if that's why it won't work have you got to be on 6.01 ?
Well, actually it shouldn't matter on which Android version you are, but to have the latest boot.img and radio.img installed I'd flash the latest stock ROM available here on XDA which means by the way having TWRP 3.0.2.0 as well and after that you might be ready for AOSP 7.1
Just have look at kulvertti's thread in the "General" subforum. Since you have already intalled a custom recovery there shouldn't be any problems.
Lockeddual recovery is not compatible with any custom rom
Please follow the instructions in the thread

Hi @rcstar6696,
i had no problem flashing the boot.img that part was ok but when i went to flash the recovery it never seemed to work for me, in the terminal window in the SDK programme tools folder which is the same folder as the image i downloaded from your thread is in (Twrp-3.0.0-0-castor-windy.img and twrp_castor_windy.img) it said something about sizes but said it went ok tried to boot into recovery and it never worked
in the terminal window whilst my SGP511 was in fastboot mode i typed fastboot recovery Twrp-3.0.0-0-castor-windy.img is this is correct script or have i got this wrong ?
i am currently on Kitkat does this matter

i tried to access recovery via the down volume button when the tablet starts up but no green light appears and it just starts normally ...... i ve not flashed the boot.img first then flashed recovery as ive seen it can be done via recovery the only option left now is to try flashing the boot.img first .... i have no option but to try that tonight and see if that can do it that way
@T4ke5 @rcstar6696 thanks very much guys for your help TWRP on 3.0.0 now and AOSP 7.1 installed now
