Can't load custom Recovery - LG Optimus G Pro

Hi, I have the optimus g pro E980 and im having the following problem:
So i have a dillema with my custom recovery. I am trying to flash Beanstalk, but i had a problem with installing cwm. Rom manager's cwm an twrp wont work, it just has the android with his chest open and a red "!" triangle on him. goo manager's open recovery script says there is no recoveries found. I tried freeGee but the app wont load properly to use it. I have downloaded the madmack's updated TWRP and the modem to go with it but Idk how to install the zip on it without the custom recovery.
My root is successful as I followed the guide for the chinese root program since I had the 4.1.2 version of android. Sorry I sound nubbish, im just having trouble doing this since the rom manager failed me

you could try another method to root instead. the install freegee and cwm/twrp.

Sadly I added cwm before I installed Freegee, and now freegee gives me tons of errors and freeze to where I cant use it

How did you return to stock, via KDZ? if so you are unrooted and have to root again. Installing freegee without root will give errors.

No I re root everytime. this is what I used to flash the stock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302660&highlight=recovery
Do you think the stock recovery mode doesnt flash back with this method? Even with I try to flash Twrp loki it still says i'm under my stock recovery on the flashify app.

Also I did a boot with KDZ and now everytime I boot it puts my phone into "All auto test - FTM mode" and I cant exit out of it

Freegee has su permissions? On mine, su denied it after I allowed it. And this made it act abnormal when trying to open it.

Yup, freegee needs su permissions, that is why it sounds like a bad root to me

I don't think ftm mode can be entered into with cwm present. I tried just now, with twrp, and could not enter into ftm.
Have you looked into using flashtools to flash stock image files? I don't know the ins and outs of that specific to this device, just an idea.

The only way to install a custom recovery on the e980 is by installing FreeGee, our boot loader is locked and the only way to bypass that is by installing FreeGee after you are rooted. You need to return back to stock using LG flashtools and start over again, once you are done with the restore, then you root and finally FreeGee, and you should be able to flash anything you like.
Hope it helps.

It worked after I did exactly this! I have a question, what does everyone normally set their core limits with the trickster mod? I read someone on the forum sets theirs on 810MHz min and 1350MHz max. I feel right now as though my idle battery is good but my active usage could be better. I'm on the beanstalk rom if it helps

Help for a somewhat new person.

I am new with rooting my phone. I have used Rooted phones before, I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258633 Motochopper how to. I ran into a problem. I click the superuser app that was installed onto my phone, and it tells me that "The Superuser binary (su) must be updated. Please choose an installation method. Recovery mode installation is recommended for HTC devices." I click install and it tells me there was an error. I would like to root my phone along with potentially installing CWM so that I can easily install Cyanogenmod when they release a stable verison for the S4. Also would love to install titanium backup along with some Adfree apps.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
OK, so it looks like you already have it rooted.
When super SU asks that question, dont install via CWM, tell it to just install normally.
Once you have SuperSU working, Download Rom Manager from the play store and install CWM Recovery right from within the ROM Manager app.
It will give you the option to pick between two types of CWM(ClockWorkMod). The Touch version, like its name gives you the ability to use the touch screen and not only the volume up/down + Power button.
Telling it to install normally causes it to just tell me there was an error, it also tells me it is out of date as well. Titanium Backup tells me that it cant get root access and I was never asked about it.
OK, so your phone is not rooted then.
Your going to have to try rooting it again or flashing an already rooted rom with Odin.
I just tried it again, this time it said failure after the install of the superuser.apk. I just read that one of the later updates by samsung can make it harder to root. I just got my phone and i was fully updated. What Roms, are already rooted for the S4. I am actually enjoying some of the default apps that came with the phone.
Wicked (and most ROMs that don't include the [STOCK] tag) are pre-rooted...but you'll need to ODIN a custom recovery first then flash the ROM.
If you want to stay on rooted stock, follow the steps in the "root May 7 MDL" thread to ODIN a rooted kernel, and you'll be good to go.
(You don't need root access to get a custom recovery flashed)
Basically, any of your options are pretty straightforward, but they're going to involve Odin-ing stuff.
So there isn't really a way to just root my phone without installing a custom rom?
There was before the second update, with the second update rooting got just a little bit more steps

Are you still on the MDB firmware or have you done any over the air updates? Specifically the May 7 update which is MDL. Motochopper is specifically for then older firmware (MDB) and it won't work if you are already on the updated. MDL firmware. In which case you would have to follow these instructions to acquire root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41162041
I usually use a market app called root checker to quickly check if I do have root.
And yes you can be rooted on stock.

Root checker says no root. I believe it does have that over the air update installed. T Mobile updated it when they gave me the phone, because they thought I didn't really know anything about phones. I assume this means I have to follow another method to root my phone?
If you have the MDL update you have to root using the steps listed here:

This is going to sound like a dumb question but from reading all of that I need to use ODIN to install the ROOT_M919?UVUAMDL onto the phone? that should root the phone and allow me to install ROM Manager and install CWM from there right?
Also would doing this delete everything I have on my phone right now?

No, you use Odin to install one of the recoveries. You use the recovery to install the zip ROOT_M919?UVUAMD. Personally I didn't use that file. I installed the kernel in recovery and SuperSU in recovery. And no, it won't delete things on your phone.

Thank you so much, I am about to go and do this. I will use the kernel you suggested since that looks like a better option, after flashing the kernal should i reboot and just use it normally for a bit and then go to recovery and flash SuperSU?
EDIT: The steps on the thread for ODIN are for installing a rooted ROM, I am assuming its still the same steps for installing a recovery instead of a rooted ROM

Okay I didn't get any error using ODIN, however when I try and boot into CWM using Volume Up + Power it just goes to android recovery. Which doesn't have any of the options I need. Am I just booting up the wrong way, or did I do something wrong. I tried both the touch version and the non-touch version

2 options. uncheck auto reboot in Odin. When Odin is done, unplug your phone, pull your battery, then boot into recovery. Or .. when Odin is done and it reboots your phone, keep holding volume up to get to recovery.

How did you root? Did you install the ROOT_M919?UVUAMDL zip and install SuperSU?

[Q] Device saying it is rooted but cannot flash ROM's

I rooted my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 & when I go to recovery mode to try to install a ROM from SD there is no option to do so on the external or internal yet my phone says it is rooted.
I have rooted & installed custom ROM's on other android phones with no issues but this phone seems to not be as easy to root and install a custom rom :/
anybody ever heard of this ?
did you flash a custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP?

Does towelroot trip the knox counter?
I saw someone say it does not. It preserves the stock recovery so it makes sense that it wouldn't. But if you plan on using a custom recovery or kernel it won't matter as that would trip it anyway.

Does not affect Knox Warranty Bit! I am staying with factory recovery mode.
so i've tripped my knox, and towelroot says it's incompatible. any suggestions?
Towelroot will only work for NE6 firmware on the I747M. The exploit it uses was patched in NF1/NF2.
you can try cf autoroot, or just flash recovery then flash SuperSU.
I have tried to root my phone, I747M, Canadian, 4.4.2 version, with SRSRoot, it says that process is complete and that everything is OK but root checker says that phone isn't rooted and Superuser icon can't be found anywhere. I tried Towelroot few minutes ago, it says that my phone isn't currently supported. Dunno what to do any more...
No idea what srsroot is... Just flash a supersu update package from my sig. Flash in recovery.

Recovery won't stay flashed after reboot. Twrp 2.6.3.0 and 2.8 if I don't let phone finish booting into ROM after flashing I can access twrp but there's no storage. Won't mount any partitions, data/system/cache or external/internal SD. If I do let it finish reboot into ROM, then shut down and boot into recovery it reverts back to stock recovery. Towel root and cf auto root both are unsuccessful as well as Kingo. Any help please?
Also tried cwm recovery. Same deal as twrp
Flash recovery again. Use its built in file manager to delete or rename these files and recovery will stay after rebooting.
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/indtall-recovery.sh
Try to mount partitions again. If it fails, go to advanced and copy log to sd. Then attach it here. Do the same if flashing the rom fails.
You may want to try cwm or philz recoveries too.

Hello everyone I just had a question about recover, a little while back I had cwm on my phone but then I did a full restore and am on stock rooted kit Kat. The first time I installed the cwm recovery I used freegee, but I've seen people say that it doesn't work on the software I am on which is E98020H, can anyone confirm that it doesn't work and is there another way? Thank you.

Unless I am doing something completely wrong... it is not working for me either. I'm on E98020h and I was not even able to root with kitkat root tool. I wound up using Root Genius to root, and was able to get root access for apps like FreeGee, titanium backup, etc.. However Freegee is littered with errors. Upon opening I get an error message saying there is an "exception thrown waiting for command to finish" and then the next error window says that "your aboot is not supported by loki on software version: E98020h." After that the app seems fine, everything is there, but when I go to flash CWM-6.0.4.7 I get another error message, this time saying "There was an error running action "loki_recovery."
No clue, might just be me, but I have tried some other methods as well (including rooting, using voodoo root protector, update to e98020h, and then try freegee) but still nothing.

Loki hasn't been updated in months. I think we just have to hold tight until they update it to include the new aboot that comes with e98020h. I'm stuck at the same place. No big deal since I have root, but would be nice to get into CWM (safely) and back the phone up.

The first time I installed the cwm recovery I used freegee, but I've seen people say that it doesn't work on the software I am on which is E98020H, can anyone confirm that it doesn't work and is there another way? Thank you.

Here's what you do to be able to install freegee cwm recovery successfully and also obtain root.
1.) Download towelrrot app from www.towelroot.com (much appreciation to Geohot). One click and you are rooted.
2.) Download busybox from playstore. Install.
3.) Download GPRO cwm 6.0.4.4 recovery apk (look for it on the attached files area of G3 rom v 4.7 on the android section of our phone). Run app and install recovery but don't reboot afterwards.
4.)Run Freegee. It should install freegee cwm or twrp by then.
i tried this sadly freegee still getting hung on a boot error...
Couldn't you just flashtool back to stock jb then root and install recovery........

You're on stock Kitkat. Use GPRO_recovery.apk, after that update recovery to something newer (TWRP prefered) and voila, you're ready to go.
Or start from stock Jellybean, unlock via Freegee and update recovery. You'll get a better flashing base (smaller chances for hardware wakelocks).
Yeah I finally worked through it last night. Towel root. Gpro recovery. Then installed busy box and flashed latest twrp with flashify and got to flashing my ROMs. Hey BTW which ROM/kernel do you get the best battery life with?

I'm still on KitKat (custom build of PAC-ROM 4.4.4, with my own kernel) and I get pretty good SOT (~5h) and maybe a day-day and a half of one charge. Haven't used Lollipop ROMs much, they are too unstable for my needs (mostly problems with overheating and phone not sleeping properly) and I'm too lazy to sync repos and do a custom build, but CM12.1 with Emmanuel's kernel was OK for me for a long time. Please note, I was using older CM build (01.06.2015) because of the SIM bug which is not patched yet.

If you've lost your custom recovery after flashing a ROM, I'm assuming that you didn't root immediately afterwards?
In that case, you won't be able to use Flashify and your only option is to wait until you have access to a PC.
You should flash twrp after flashing any rom. Then reboot to recovery to check if it works. Official roms flash official recovery...

If kingoroot works, then yes, you can probably flash TWRP that way.

Actually it requre root access. Do you know how to get root access without pc
You could give Kingroot (not Kingoroot) a try. I used to use it on old devices and it does work from time to time. Beware that it does contain a lot of bloat and is suspected to datamine its users. If it successfully roots your phone, I would advise you to clean flash your ROM again after flashing a custom recovery just to make sure it doesn't linger. It it fails to root, then just delete the app (it shouldn't be able to install anything malicious without root access).

Not working..bro
I would suggest not to take too much risk with rooting without the access to PC. If by chance, something goes wrong, like bootloop or something, you'll be screwed big time.
