E980 Cant access download mode, cant flash please help. - LG Optimus G Pro

Ok so I got my E980 rooted via towelroot, then used the freegee app to install loki, then I used flashify to install the CM recovery listed below, planning to flash the matching cyanogenmod rom:

I rebooted into the recovery and it wouldn't flash the cyanogenmod 12.1 rom at first, saying that I had an incompatible system installed, so I did a factory reset and then tried again and it installed the CM 12.1 ROM without errors, however it wont boot into it. All I can access is the CyanogenMod recovery and the factory wipe screen, I cant seem to boot into a rom even when it installs without errors, I cant get into download mode no matter what combo of keys/plugging in I do, even though it worked fine before.
Any thoughts or Ideas? I am totally lost here.

When turn on the phone it says:
Secure booting Error! Cause : Device Unlock!, so Boot Success!!
When I try to flash the TWRP zip that is floating around (2.8.1 I think) it says:
Finding update package.....
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:Footer is wrong
E:Signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
When I turn on ADB mode through CyanogenMod recovery
Adb devices: Lists the device (99d3b89c sideload)
Adb usb: Error : closed
I have tried CyanogenMod 10.2.0, 11-20141115, and 12.1-20151007, and tried them before and after every kind of wipe available through this recovery, and they all install without error then reboot back to the recovery.
Is there another flashable recovery around for this phone I could try? I just don't see many in zip format.

Finally got it working. Threw every flashable recovery I could find at it, finally got Phillz touch to install and work from the CyanogenMod recovery. Phillz wouldnt install a working rom, but Phillz did allow me to flash CWM 6 something, which allowed me to install 2.8.1 TWRP, which couldnt see my microSD card, but it did allow me to copy 12.1 CM to my internal SD card from my computer via USB and to flash it and have it actually work. After I booted into CM 12.1 I had to fight gapps for a while, the open gapps pico and nano for 5.1 arm didnt work, but I got the Gapps from the slim rom to work after rewiping the system to remove the open gapps.
After that I finally manager to get flashify, supersu, and busybox from the store. Used flashify to upgrade to 3.0 TWRP. I still cant get into download mode, but pretty much everything else is working now.

[Q] Gapps help

I've installed the latest Cyanogenmod, the latest CWM 3.0.2.4, fixed permissions in the rom manager, and I still cant get the gapps to install. I attempted to install the suggested gapps for cyanogen 7, and no luck.
When I attempt to install it reads:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
When I select to enable signature verification, it then reads it failed signature verification.
The process I use to attempt to install the gapps is, I open the Rom Manager, select reboot into recovery and then install zip file from sd.
I've tried several different versions of the gapps, and still no luck.
I have researched this for the past few hours and I can not get this to work at all. I do have it rooted, everything else installed fine, with no complications. But I am very much stuck at this point. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I figured it out on my own. When you use CWM3, just go to download rom instead of manually doing it.

(Solved) L310: rooted but unable to install CM12.1 - Error-Message included

Hi,
after giving 4.4.2-StockROM a (long) try, I wanted to install [SM-T31X][5.1.1] CyanogenMod 12.1 unofficial build (by tohenk).
I followed the instruction for TWRP-Installation and the one for CM12.1 by tohenk.
Doing so, I installed TWRP via Odin 3.09 (successful).
To root the T310, I had to install the zip "ROOT_SGT3_8.0.zip". (also successful)
Reentering TWRP to flash the CM12.1-zip, I selected the file from internal SD-Card, getting a warning that the file shall not be compatible - having had the same with the root-zip, i swiped to install.
Resulting in the error (got a screenshot, but can't link it - to few posts):
"Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset.
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/fw/cm-12.1-20151018-UNOFFICIAL-lt01wifi.zip'
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/fw/cm-12.1-20151018-UNOFFICIAL-lt01wifi.zip"
... as offered by TWRP, i reset the Dalvik-Cache, rebooted. All Apps have been reinitialized, rebooted again into TWRP, getting the same Error.
So I installed philz_touch_6.08.9-lt01wifi.zip - but getting the same Error...
At the moment, I'm stucked with rooted StockROM...
..what did I miss?
(thanks for any help)
- - - - - - -
Edit:
Found the error:
prepareing the Flash-Procedure, I did a "factory reset" from within StockROM-Settings.
After performing a Factory-Reset out of PhilzTouch and wiping Dalvik-Cache (without rebooting the GT3 after Wiping), I was capable to install the CM12.1-zip, which runs perfectly fine now...
(somewhere it should be mentioned "do the factory reset from recovery, not from within ROM"
tohenk: you did a wonderful Job on the CM12.1-ROM! Thank you!!
I'm having the same issue.... so I installed Philz_touch_6.19.3 but I still can't flash any of the ROM's for T310...
Do you have any suggestions?
My tablet start up to SAMSUNG TAB 3 logo and stuck there...

Device not detected

Hello everybody,
Here my problem :
I tried to install a custom rom, I failed. Now, my smartphone stay on the Asus logo screen. I tried to follow this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-to-apply-ota-bootloop-rooted-zf2-t3127835 - to fix the problem, but when I connect phone and laptop, adb doesn't find the device.
If I continue and go in recovery mode (using TWRP), laptop can access the phone (I can see internal memory but not external).
And if I try the ADB sideload, there is no device again...
It's the first step, I don't see any other way to unbrick the phone...
Thanks in advance
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-brick-soft-hard-bricked-zenfone-2-t3284256 be lucky your phone is recognized
Hello,
Frist, thank you for your answer. I had already tried this way but nothing. Finally, I fixed the problems (detect phone and unbrick phone).
1-In TWRP, I loaded recovery.img, boot.img and droidboot.img. Reboot in recovery mod, but I had the dead droid... so I pushed on power and volume up till I have a new screen.
2-In this part, I did a Wipe/Factory reset (useless I think), reboot in recovery mode (still dead droid). This time I selected the line "update with adb" (with an ASUS firmware). Then I had a message who told me update adb sideload. I did it and it installed the firmware. The smartphone reboot correctly.
Now, I have the same problem I had yesterday. In TWRP, my external storage isn't detected...
you use stock recovery or custom recovery, if you use stock recovery external-storage won't detected
Hello,
Thank you Bar4, I explained above how I fixed my problems. Now I'm searching a way to make TWRP (TWRP 3.0) detect my external storage to install Cyanogenmod 13.0. If it's really not possible, I would try with CWM (I have seen it in your screen).
Edit : I guess custom, TWRP. It's why I don't understand why it doesn't allow me to mount SD card or doesn't detect this same SD Card.

i use twrp 3.0 too, but external sd detected. no need to put on external storage, you can flash Cm 13 through internal storage
if you want to install custom rom it's better if you make a backup first, so if happen you failed when installing new rom or maybe you don't like it (new rom) you can go back to stock rom through TWRP restore
Ok, failed again...
Try a different rom or redownload the rom it might have been a bad download.
The error message says there is no updater script in the zip meaning it can't install anything as the updater script tells what directories to install the files if I seen it correctly that is.

maybe the CM 13 zip file you have download corrupted, try to re-download and re-flash it again. if still failed try another rom
( i'm using AICP Rom "based on CM 13 too") try it, it's awesome Rom ---> do clean install wipe all except internal storage and external storage

Hi,
Sorry for this late answer. As I failed to install those roms (CM13, Bliss), I'm going to stop here and wait for the Marsmallow update. But I'm happy my phone isn't brik anymore.
Thank you all.

TWRP 3.0, Open Gapps and CM13 = Weirdness

Hi all, I'm not really sure if this is correct section to post this but has anyone else had issues with installing the latest (2016-03-16) CM13 release on their Nexus 7 flo device?
The steps I used to flash are as follows:
1. I used WugFresh NRT "Root" option with "Also flash custom recovery selected" to root my stock android 6.0.1 install and install TWRP 3.0.0.0
2. I then booted into recovery and copied over the CM13 zip and the (2016-03-16) version of OpenGapps Micro to the device.
3. I then did a factory reset from within recovery and flashed the CM13 zip which installed as expected.
4. Then I tried to flash the openGapps zip. I selected the zip and swiped to install and it stayed on "no md5 file found" for about 15 minutes. After this it installed and everything seemed to be fine until I rebooted into the OS.
5. When the tablet booted up for the first time and finished optimizing 96 apps* it came up with the CyanogenMod setup has stopped working error.
I know there is a work around for this but, as I had CM13 installed on this device before with no issue, I decided to dig a little deeper...
1. I downloaded TWRP 3.0.0.0 manually and flashed using fastboot. RESULT: Exact same thing with the long pause when installing Gapps followed by the CM setup error
2. I downloaded CM Recovery and manually flashed using fastboot. RESULT: Cannot install Gapps at all this time due to it not be compatible with CM recovery
3. I tried to ADB sideload using TWRP 3.0.0.0. RESULT: CM13 installed normally, but again, the same long pause with Gapps install followed by the CM setup error
4. By this point I'm fairly sure there is some issue with Gapps so I check the MD5 of the file and its fine so I download an older version and try to flash that... RESULT: Same thing as before
5. Next step, different Gapps version... So I download the "mini" version of Gapps instead of the "micro" one, check the MD5 and then try to flash. RESULT: Again huge pause during install follow by "Error 70: Insufficient space"
6. I setup a gapps config file on the tablet to tell the Gapps installer to install the Micro package in test mode so nothing should change. RESULT: This file is apparently completely ignored and I get the same result as before.
7. Finally I decide to fastboot flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 and voila! RESULT: CM13 installs and the Gapps micro install loads straight up installs everything at the expected speed. When the tablet reboots there are no error and everything seems to perfectly okay.
* As an aside I have a LG G3S/Beat which has been flashed with CM13 and OpenGapps Mini using TWRP 3.0.0.0 with no issue as all. When this device booted up it only optimised something like 24 apps. Can someone explain why my nexus 7 has to optimize 95 and the LG G3S only has to do 24?
TLDR; TWRP 3.0.0.0 doesn't like Gapps on the Nexus 7 flo
So has anyone else had any issue like this with their devices?
Regards
Nathan

LG F400S/K Kitkat unable to install TWRP recovery / unable to install Gapps (solved)

Now the phone is unable to boot to system, I have no idea what I could do to fix it as there is no way to use adb or fastboot command…
I remember that the stock rom version is S11a, it have some problems when I tried to root it, and failed to flash recovery even I've got the root permission (response "write error: no space left")
------↑solved by using LG flashtool↑------
Now I am facing the problem that unable to install TWRP recovery using dd, it responds “ write error: No space left on device” I’ve reinstall the LG drivers, reboot the phone, reboot the computer, unroot and root again, but the problem still occurs.
----- update ------
solved by using flashify, and TWRP version 3.3.1 instead of latest 3.6.1, so that it won’t have “secure boot error” warning, and boot to recovery successfully.
But there is a new problem now, when I tried to sideload MindTheGapps after installed LOS 18.1 successfully, it warns me “could not mount /mnt/system! Aborting”. This is the third phone that having this warning for me, and I still couldn’t figure out which step goes wrong.
Nothing goes wrong after flashed to lineage recovery, installed MindTheGapps now.
--update--
I also tried to flash lineage recovery from TWRP on my D855, it also works, I installed MindTheGapps and everything works fine. So this is the problem of TWRP? Or reinstall the recovery is the solution? Maybe I would have a test later.
