[Recovery] CWM Touch Recovery - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

For those of you who want a Touch CWM recovery on your phone I have converted the image file into an Odin flash capable .tar file. If anyone would like me to do the same for the other carriers I will do so, but please keep in mind I am unable to test those recoveries.
This is version 5.8.4.5 of the CWM Touch recovery. Backup/restore is confirmed working
This is for the T-MOBILE variant only and will most likely up your custom recovery flash counter. You have been warned.
Oh, and I am not responsible if you choose to DL this and brick your phone or otherwise, I tested on my phone and it flashed just fine.
Thanks Moonfire711 for this information:
Download the tmo touch recovery .img from the Clockworksmod site, or DL the version provided and un'zip' it to your computer. I don't know if these instructions will work for anything other than the tmo version at this point.
to install:
1. Rename the file to cwmtr.img to make this easier.
2. Place cwmtr.img in your root sdcard using step 3., or use your usb cable or some wifi explorer.
3. adb push cwmtr.img /sdcard/cwmtr.img * (skip this step if the file is already on your sdcard).
4. adb shell *If not using adb, and you want to use terminal emulator, start at step 5. with the file already on your sdcard.
5. su
6. dd if=/sdcard/cwmtr.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
7. reboot recovery
I did NOT make this recovery or alter it in any way, I do NOT take credit for this recovery, it's CWM 100%

downloading now thanks

Thankyou! So all we do is download this tar and use pda in Odin to flash correct? And will rom manager recognize this recovery? (I didn't want to buy it on rom manager)
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Flash through Odin yes, I just checked and Rom Manager tells me "There are no Touch recoveries available for your Device". Although I have flashed the Insecure Kernel so you may want to make sure you have STOCK kernel if you want Rom Manager to recognize your device. Otherwise it works as it should in recovery mode.

I tried a version earlier and it did not support external sdcard.
Don't know if this one is any different, but I doubt it.

This is probably the same version, No Ext SD Card support on it. I'll update the main post to show that, thanks for thinking about that. Though personally I'm willing to sacrifice that for a touch recovery, others may not.
EDIT: Looks like there are two options, SD Card and Internal SD Card. This has Ext SD Card support. Works on my phone with the Insecure Kernel.

So ext and int sd card both working? And we flash Odin pda check auto reboot?

Yeah can someone confirm ext sd card working?

OP, feel free to add these instructions to the OP for anyone that doesn't want to use Odin for any reason, and still wants to get this for free without using Rom Manager Premium.
Download the tmo touch recovery .img from the Clockworksmod site here. I don't know if these instructions will work for anything other than the tmo version at this point.

5. su
6. dd if=/sdcard/cwmtr.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
7. reboot recovery
That's it.
Hope this helps someone out.

Looks awesome. Downloading..

Or you can download the .tar from the OP and do as follows:
1. Open ODIN
2. Reboot into Download mode (Vol. Down+Home+Power)
3. Plug your phone and ensure ODIN recognizes it in the box (com#)
4. Click PDA and add the recovery.tar file
5. Make sure it says "Pass" then unplug your phone and exit from ODIN.
Your phone will reboot and you should now have the touch recovery.

Yes ext backup is working, use the first option that just say "backup." I will assume the "restore" is for ext sd as well.
Man backing up takes unsually longer than the non-touch cwm. Also anyone know how to adjust the date and time of the folder it creates when you make a backup??

I know wrong thread, but same subject!, anyone try TWRP yet?

I hope your intent was to have what you typed put in the OP. If it was to negate what I wrote in any way, then the point was to offer a way that will not jump your flash counter (in case anyone cares), and to offer a way that doesn't require using Odin. Hell, I didn't even need a pc.

I put it on my phone for about one night, but didn't play with it much. I did make a backup and it seemed to work fine. It was just a little foreign to me, so I decided to stick with the touch version of cwm for now.

been using it since i posted in your thread yesterday and no issues with ext or backup/restore.

I haven't yet, I've always known CWM. is TWRP recovery any better or worse then CWM?

In my opinion, and this is only MY OPINION, TWRP is loads better. No offense to the great work CWM developer(s) does but I really dislike CWM. I've always used TWRP be it N1, Galaxy Nexus, Kindle Fire and now S3. The only time I strayed was 4EXT Touch (by Maxx) for N1, but there's no release for S3

I think 4ext is hands down number 1, I used trwp on my Kindle also its great but cwm does the job lol

Yeah, I posted in the N1 forum asking Max to bring 4EXT to SGS3 but he never responded. I may shoot him a PM and ask him.
That's exactly how I feel, CWM does the job lol. I much prefer TWRP though.

[RECOVERY]Samsung Galaxy W i8150 RZRecovery

I'm very happy to announce, that a developer raidzero from rootzwiki forum, has made us a fully working recovery for Samsung Galaxy w i8150!
You can download it from here:
DOWNLOAD
TEMPORARY LINK .... USE THIS IF FIRST ONE DOESN'T WORK
THANKS TO andynroid FOR PROVIDING LINKS!
Flashing recovery is very simple, all you need is root access on your phone, and adb on computer. You just copy downloaded recovery on internal sdcard. Then disconect phone from copmuter. Make sure that USB debugging is on. Now connect it again but don't connect phone memory (computer shouldn't see sdcard and internal memory in Windows explorer), open command prompt and got directory where adb is installed, now enter this:
Code:
adb shell
$su
#dd if=/sdcard/RZR-2.1.4-ancora-rec.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
This is all. Now turn off phone and turnd it on like this: hold Volume Up + Home + Power button, when Samsung sign appears relese power button but still hold other two, until recovery is loaded. Bamm you are in, and ready to flash something, or backup ! Expolre the recovery, it has a lot of options, you can even choose what color of menus you want .
I would like to thanks raidzero again for all his effort he made! And also big thanks to arco68,for much need informations he provided!
We can now expect, that when developing his recovery and adding new goodies, this recovery will follow others!
great news!! Thanks for your effort!
Has anyone had a chance to test the Recovery?
Will this work on the Samsung Exhibit II?
thanks mate.downloading now. just in case it needs to be recovered. after this we would see custom roms developed by our developers here..

Thanks again, will try this ASAP, just a few questions:
Is /dev/block/mmcblk0p13 the Recovery partition??
Is it been overwritten by the dd if.......of??
Should the original stock recovery?? be backed-up/saved first??
Is there an MD5 or anything to check file integrity:
This could be used on the Device: Android File Verifier
Can the procedure be done using Terminal Emulator on the phone?
Do I need to have stock ROM for it to work?

1. Yes /dev/block/mmcblk0p13 is recovery partition
2. It is gonna be overwritten with costum one.
3. You can back it up that you reverse dd command. Or I can upload original recovery.
4. There isn't MD5 cause noone made it , you only need MD5 file if you would like to flash this via Odin.

Thanks, gotta learn ODIN first,
btw, thanks for the ODIN d/l........installed it, but still unsure how to proceed???
I have latest Kies installed on my laptop, any reason why you do not use it?? It appears to allow back-ups and restores, also new firmware d/l.
As I am new to Samsung, and also ODIN, but does using ODIN have advantages over Kies, and is it safer to upgrade new f/w with ODIN or Kies, do you lose root, or anything else??
BTW, on the MD5 thing, for the RZR-2.1.4-ancora-rec.img
I used MD5 Checksum Tool from http://www.novirusthanks.org/product/md5-checksum-tool/
to generate the MD5.
File: RZR-2.1.4-ancora-rec.img

I just think it is good security practice to check file integrity before applying on your device, as many things can happen, like data corruption, while transferring file from download on Laptop to SD card, and best to check file on device SD or Internal Storage with AFV against MD5 generated at source.........
which I did not check at source, but I am just illustrating for example!!
[BTW, lots of MD5's on rzdroid.com recovery ftp site, here, but not sure of our .img file
The above MD5 is what I got from the d/l file
Thanks again, I saw your stuff with raidzero on rootzwiki.........

Well I really don't know that is better to use Kies or Odin. If you want official and (what is supposed to be tested) firmware, tha you better use Kies (but well even with kies your phone could get bricked, I've learned that from one user here ). If you want to flash latest firmware, which sometimes is not availible on all the countries, and you can't get it from Kies fast enaught, than I suggest odin is the choice. I prefere Odin, cause I don't like official stuff .
To use Odin is very simple. You need to turn on phone with Volume Down + Home + Power. When you are prompt (on hte phone),wether to conutioue od cancle, you connect phone and computer with USB cable, and choose contuinu, now you are in download mode. Then all you have to do, to choos proper .ops file (button OPS) in odin, an proper firmware (usually you choos that under One Package button, if you have one package in tar.md5), then you wait for chekcking md5. When is checked you just click Start, and wait for stuff to happen.
Don't forget that there is a possabiltiy that something might go wrong with flashing, but it is not that big one. I suggest, that you first made full nandorid backup with recovery, if something goes wrong, you can boot you phone in recovery and restore it totaly. And one more suggestin when flashing, do it with latop(if possible), so that you have battery and power cable plugged in laptop, if electricyty goes out, that you still have battery to run laptop.
And thanks for the support you guys are showing to me, since I'm not a developer. I try really hard, to get people that are willing to help us developing better roms for our phone !

Hey there, just a noob question:
Where are adb drivers installed? I'm working under Windows 7.
I tried to google this and ended up here /developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
and downloaded the first two files, but I'm unsure what to do now. Thanks in advance!
Hey qzem,
Am I right, that the adb driver should be installed, when i first installed Kies?
Is your Guide How-To Install the recovery also working on my mac? I think so, or am I wrong?
Perhaps you already figured by now, I'm new to Android!
There is one more thing i can't seem to figure out:
In foreseeable future, there are hopefully some nice custom roms for the Galaxy W. Do I have to install recovery everytime i flash a new Rom? Or is it like a bios, that has nothing to do with the actual Android System?
Thanks for your help in advance

For adb, you need to download Android SDK from here. Download zip file and extract it somwhere. Than go in folder where you have extract it and run SDK Manager, from there you will install adb rivers and everything else. When you are done (it could take a while, to download and install everything), open Command promnt and follow the instrucions I've wrote in first post.

The same goes for mac users, there is also Android SDK for mac. You can install Kies before this, but you need both because kies includes drivers for this phone exactly. As far as recoverey goes, if it is not included in ROM, which you flash, I think you'll need to install it again. I hope that developers will include recovery in their roms.
Thanks so far qzem,
It seems like theres someone in your Cyanogenom-Forum-Post qzem, who is trying and willing to help making a custom rom. But he seeks for som guidance!
Perhaps someone with experience like, arco can take him under his wings!
Hi there,
i would like to thank you. Everything works like a charm.
Did the flash, tried the recovery.. and uaaaahhhh....
...i forgot to backup the original recovery!
can someone please, please upload it to somewhere??
thx.

[HOWTO] ClockworkMod Recovery & TWRP - Upgrade/Downgrade (Touch/Non-Touch Recovery)

[HOWTO] ClockworkMod Recovery & TWRP - Upgrade/Downgrade (Touch/Non-Touch Recovery)
IF YOU TRASH YOUR PHONE USING THIS PROCEDURE, THEN IT IS A VERY GOOD INDICATION YOU ARE AN IDIOT AND SHOULD NOT BE FLASHING ANY ROMS NOR PARTICIPATING ON THESE FORUMS. . . . JUST SAYIN'. . . .
Please be VERY careful when using this method as you can brick your phone. Make sure you triple check the file you downloaded is the right size and placed in the right area, but most importantly that the command lines you type are exactly right. If you are not comfortable using this method, then please do not and go find a flashable version of these recoveries.
I've posted a procedure to format/'flash' your recovery while on your phone in one of the threads on here and was asked by a Forum Mod to make a quickie guide to be placed as a sticky on the dev boards so others might benefit.
Anyway, here is a very quick and easy way to change your ClockworkMod recovery with a couple of command lines.
The TWRP link is in the second post.
Now for the ClockworkMod Instructions:
1. First, go here and look up your ClockworkMod recovery that pertains to your phone: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
2. Download the .img file for your phone and save it on your computer.
3. Rename the .img file to recovery.img and save it to your internal sd card of your phone. For example: recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.4-hercules.img ------> recovery.img
4. Open up Terminal Emulator on your phone and type the following 2 commands:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
(please note the second command is a one line command with spaces between "dd & if=" and ".img & of=")
If your Rom identifies your internal sdcard as /emmc instead of /sdcard, then make the adjustment to command line (dd if=/emmc/recovery.img) instead of what is posted above.
That simple.
You can also issue these commands from adb shell if you are connected to your computer.
If Terminal Emulator does not have Superuser or SuperSU permissions for root privileges then make sure it does. You can also go from NON Touch CWM to Touch CWM using this and vice versa. Simply make sure you have the right recovery for your phone and rename it to recovery.img.
As for explanations:
dd if= command is a common Unix program whose primary purpose is the low-level copying and conversion of raw data.
dd stands for "data description"
if stands for "input file"
of stands for "output file"
the = is the location of the data you are using. ie. /sdcard/recovery.img
the /dev/block/mmcblk0p22 is the location/partition of the recovery on your phone.
So essentially you are doing a low level rewrite of the recovery image on your phone via command lines.
***Also, the best way to remember this command line is to not to. Copy the command line and save it to your own personal contact info in Google under Notes and then you will have it with you wherever you go. You really do not want to mess with getting it wrong. You could brick your phone if you mess things up.
Anyway, I hope this helps. . . . it really is very easy to execute without fault.
Works with TWRP too.
This also works with changing to and from TWRP. Download the image (for our phones it's TWRP 2.3.1.1) rename it to recovery.img and follow the above instructions and you are good to go.
Follow this link to get the image file: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/101
***I attached the old TWRP 2.2.2.0 is case you run into problems with the newer versions not restoring backups properly or renaming backups correctly.***
Excellent Thread, I hope Dev's requiring specific CWM versions can link to your post.
Thanks for your efforts.

Thanks for the instructions! Thanks even more for explaining the command lines.
Just thought I'd point out a small bug with the Touch Recovery. If you flash one of the newer ICS roms like Darkside Evolution through the Touch Recovery, once booted, the ROM WILL NOT SLEEP through time out. I've confirmed this with 2 separate ICS roms. Flashing non-touch recovery through Rom Manager fixes this problem.
Wouldn't it be easier to use gscript and run the commands as you need them?
Thanks for the HOW TO I actually was looking for it.
What is wrong with ROM Manager? I use it to go between Touch and normal all the time and it works flawlessly.

For some people Rom Manager doesn't work. On the T-Mobile SGH-T989 Galaxy SII, Rom Manager will only allow you to go to 5.0.2.6 not 5.0.2.7. And, I think you have to upgrade Rom Manager to go to Touch. I bought Rom Manager, and don't use Touch Recovery, so I am not sure.
I like to use the command structure verses program because I know it works, it's fast, and I can see the results if an error occurs.
Oh yeah...this was really simple...Thanks...went from Touch back to Non Touch.
Give this a try
If you want a simple way to flash the Touch Recovery then give this a try. I will be adding the Hard Recovery as well in the next release.

Haha no worries bro. I mean worries that it failed for no reason, but I already sent it in, he just got it today. Same person you linked. Definitely trying to install ics again when i get it. Plus I think the ota ics for tmo came out yesterday or something? Probably a better experience than what was already out there with the radio and stuff.
the files from the CWM site are not .img for me, they are .ndif is it the same procedure?

No! Do NOT use this procedure with that file extension!
What recovery are you trying to install? And for what phone? I briefly ran my cursor over the various files and the download links are either .img or .zip files. I did not see .ndif file extension.
PM me if you need additional help.
Would you happen to have the .img file for 5.0.2.7??
Edit* Nvm.. a quick google search and I was able to find it. You are a life saver.. I tried updating my recovery to the 6.0.1.2 Hercules port and for a couple days, it was working great up until an hr. ago. Nothing would flash and it would just hang in recovery... so I found this thread and thankfully I was able to downgrade back down to 5.0.2.7.
If you were local, I would take you out and get you piss drunk for helping me save my device. Cheers!!!!

You're welcome, I'm glad I could help you. But, the link to the .img files is in the OP instructions. . . .
Unfortunately this method did not work for me... I have tried many ways to update my CWM and none of them worked, it is almost hopeless for me

dude...your clip image in your sig is f*cking hilarious! I crack up whenever I see it.....
The sh*t people come up with.... :laugh:
So can someone give some background on this update? I did a backup to my extSD card and it doesnt backup the applications. I also see a 'blobs' folder when I look at the backup folder in root explorer.
Whats the difference between .dup and .tar in the advance backup options. Any info would be appreciated.... thanks!
So after doing some digging around, I found out a bunch about this new version of CWMR/CWMTR.
First,
You may notice a 'blobs' folder when you do a backup. Don't panic, this is now part of the backup process.
Second,
You may find that your backups are completed reasonably faster after the initial backup and your backup folder for that particular backup is also significantly smaller as in under 100mb smaller when it used to be close or even over 1gig.
Touch Recovery does not make a "full backup" anymore. It only backs up what has changed since a previous backup, and keeps track of the changes in a clockworkmod/backup/blobs folder. This is pretty cool because its designed to save on space and speed up the backup process. So if you look at your 'blobs' folder, its size is going to be HUGE. Thats where all the files that once made up your HUGE zip backup are located.
Hopefully you guys find this info a little more helpful....because I had a ton of questions after seeing how this new version created backups, etc.

ooooo, you don't want to do that. The Odin flash-able image is ONLY flash-able through Odin. If you want, you can extract the recovery.img file from within it, and use THAT file to flash via Terminal.
You can ONLY flash a *.img file the Terminal way.
You can flash custom recovery three ways:
*.img flash-able via Terminal
*.tar, *.md5 flash-able via Odin
*.zip flash-able from within custom recovery
Good luck!

Version 6.0.3.2 - Initial version listed here
We are picking up. Nice
How do I install a .IMG file (the CWM recovery download file) onto the S4? There is no FASTBOOT mode (or I can't access it for some reason).
Yes, I know I can use rom manager to install CWM, but that isn't my question.
I can confirm - it does work.
Thanks for the quick posting of this!
Oh boy! i'm getting my S4 sooner then i thought now lol. Monday? i sure hope so if not i'll have to wait til the weekend i think but oh man, CM10.1 here we come
Nice recovery I downloaded rom manager and installed the touch recovery and it's very good but the only problem is that the space between the text is really close to each other I mean you have a really big screen and it only uses less than a third u know what I mean? Just saying so far I like it but that's the only thing I find annoying

Exactly the problem I am having. I am wondering if R.M. is installing the proper version of touch. It's almost impossible to use. It also doesn't support gestures which makes it more difficult.

then once in a rooted shell (or terminal emulator) be sure you know the exact location and name of clockworkmod recovery.img
dd if=/sdcard/cwmrecovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm.sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
replace the bold part with the name of the file
replace teh underlined with where it is located
Thx shabby, I'll use this when mine arrives on Monday. Might be a good idea to create a thread with these how to's. Love your work, used your methods when I got my t769.

I'm running this with files and locations set exactly as in your example and getting "no such directory or file." Must be missing something obvious.
hmmm try on external sd and change the path to match that then?
How do you switch between TWRP and CWM? The WICKED ROM requires TWRP, but I've always used CWM... I'd like to be able to switch without much trouble if needed.

Turns out the path to the extSdCard is actually /storage/extSdCard. Couldn't see the directory of the sdcard noway nohow. Can't figure out why. /storage/extSdCard worked.

[RECOVERY] TWRP D802/ATT/VZW (2.6.3.3) F320k [AUTO][ZIP] TMO [ZIP][2.6.3.2]

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY NEGATIVE IMPACTS OR CONSEQUENCES ON YOUR PHONE IF YOU SO CHOOSE TO USE THIS GUIDE.
This is primarily for D802 users. However, people with other variants have had some issues and asked for help, so I have added some files here to help them as well.

IMG
Download the D802 img file here.
Download the AT&T img file here.
Download the VZW img file here.
AUTO
Download the automated D802 file here.
Download the automated AT&T file here.
Download the automated VZW file here.
ZIP
Download the ZIP if flashing from a different TWRP version, or CWM: D802, AT&T, VZW
NOTE: If USB-OTG does not seem to be working on TWRP 2.6.3.3, please revert to 2.6.3.2. if this feature is needed.
Themes - Samurai Champloo
Download the theme itself here.
Download the Flashable ZIP of the theme here.
Download the Flashable D802 TWRP 2.6.3.3 and theme here.
2.6.3.2
Download the D802 img file here, or the latest official software F320K img file here.
Download the automated D802 file here, or the latest automated official software F320K file here.
Download the ZIP if flashing from a different TWRP version, or CWM: D802, F320K, TMO, VZW
INSTALLATION
Auto-Method
1) Extract the contents of the RAR file.
2) Double-click "Install.bat".
3) Prompt will open, click any button to proceed.
4) RSA Fingerprint message will appear on the phone (accept).
5) After installation procedure, type "y" and press enter to reboot into recovery!
1st Manual Method: Initiate ADB and use the following code.
Code:
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]REPLACE "XXX" WITH THE ACTUAL IMG NAME! DO NOT TYPE THE ORANGE WRITING![/COLOR]
adb push XXX.img /data/local/tmp/XXX.img
adb shell
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]IF YOU DONT SEE A # prompt, type su to get it.[/COLOR]
cd /data/local/tmp
dd if=/data/local/tmp/XXX.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]Be sure to replace "data/local/tmp" with the actual place your img is stored.[/COLOR]
exit
adb reboot recovery
2nd Manual Method: Place the img on your phone, then use a terminal emulator app with the following code.
Code:
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]REPLACE "XXX" WITH THE ACTUAL IMG NAME! DO NOT TYPE THE ORANGE WRITING![/COLOR]
su
dd if=/data/local/tmp/XXX.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
[COLOR="DarkOrange"](Be sure to replace "data/local/tmp" with the actual place your img is stored.)[/COLOR]
Optional Method: If you want to run some safety checks first, use loki [method here as first option].
INSTALL THEME MANUALLY
1) Connect your phone to your PC.
2) Go into your "internal storage" (internal SD card).
3) Find and open the TWRP folder.
4) Add a folder called "theme".
5) Place the ui.zip into the "theme" folder.
ENTER RECOVERY
Method 1: Hold the power button + volume down button until the LG image appears. Once it does let go of the buttons then immediately push and hold them again until recovery boots.
NOTE: The method above will arrive at the "hard reset" area, but when choosing hard reset, it will take you to TWRP (without actually resetting).
Method 2: Download the free app "Rebooter" from Google Play. If you have root, you will be able to select to reboot into recovery (among other options).
SLOW WIPE CACHE FIX
1) Once in TWRP, go into Settings.
2) Check off the box, "Use rm -rf instead of formatting."
3) Go back and now go into Wipe.
4) Wipe Cache (or another option with wiping cache).
Credit: Credit goes to Dees_Troy and wolfgart, djrbliss who made all recoveries for this phone possible, WACOMalt for his steps, and thecubed for his auto-install code.
USB-OTG
To access USB-OTG devices, go into the desired area (Install, Backup, or Restore). Select "Internal Storage" at the top. Press your USB-OTG device. It may take a second to show as selected on the screen. Once selected, press OK.
If your device does not show up, you can first try going to Mount and check off the USB-OTG box. If it doesn't allow you to check the box, then it doesn't support that device.
NOTE: It may not work with OTG cables and USB devices...
MISC.
Folder Name - There is an "issue" with the date and time [1970]. This issue is reflected in the backup folder names. There are two options to change a backup folder name:
Go into recovery and select Restore. Select the folder you wish to rename. There should now be an option to change the backup folder name.
Go into your TWRP folder by connecting to a PC or using a file explorer and change the backup folder name.
Time Zone - The time zone may be wrong but can be changed in Settings.
SUPPORT
Please check previous posts to see if your question has been answered prior to posting (there is a good chance it has).
Please always include with whether you are rooted or not.
Please always include the variant you are using.
Please always include the method you used.
Please always explain what happened in as much detail as possible.

Did you have a recovery before this installed? If so, what recovery? Did you have a good WiFi connection when you downloaded the file (i.e @home, @restaurant, etc.)? Did you try any other methods before flashify?
This should be fixable in either case. If you have a backup from before, I suggest restoring. If not, then you may have to follow this guide to unbrick your phone.
Oddly enough, I'll be in Singapore tomorrow, but I won't be able to reply until late night.
Works perfectly. Thanks!

Heya! Restoring as we speak. Home networks pretty stable.
Currently downloading the firmware. I can see that the system was not mounted on TWRP. Hence the Recovery bootloop.
Jumped from the Samsung era, gosh I didnt know LG doesnt have much support.
Once back up, bahhh imma just remain stock till more Devs pops up.
Cheers man.
