Flashed Philz touch CWM. Flashed BAM ROM. IT ran fine for a day and a half. Flashed the custom kernel, and immediately started getting recovery bootloops. Instead of the boot message saying "Secure Booting Error Cause:Device Unlock, So boot Success." It said, " Secure Booting Error Cause:Certification Verify" then I rebooted, and it just went to recovery. I reflashed everything minus the custom kernel, and it gave me the regular message, but it won't actually boot. Someone PLEASE help!!!

Might have to go back to stock.. I guess I was pointing everyone to the wrong recovery when I said look in Madmack's CM thread for his TWRP.

Use this one: https://db.tt/bQeSgkEJ
It says E986 but works perfectly.

Do I have to use the FlashTools? Cuz this won't end. I've wiped everything multiple times, reflashed multiple times, I even factory reset it through hardware keys. Does anyone have an idea before i return to complete stock? It's greatly appreciated

So do I need the LG drivers? Because I can't find them anywhere... I'm unsure how to install aroma file manager.

Does PhilzTouch have adb? If so, you could just push that to your device through your PC.

adb push filename /sdcard/filename

Here are the solutions:
1. Download the aroma file manager here
2. Rename the file to aromafm.zip
3. Put the aromafm.zip in "clockworkmod/aromafm/" in any of the storage volumes
4. In Philz touch recovery, tap the Aroma File Manager (it will open the aroma file manager automatically if you put it into the correct folder as stated above)
5. Open the terminal in the aroma file manager
6. Type this:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc bs=1 count=1088
7. Reboot system

DONE!

How do I get my computer to see my phones storage? I got the drivers installed, it claims that they installed properly, but once I take it out of download mode, the device goes to unspecified in the "Devices & Printers." I know how to mount storage in recovery, but when i get to recovery, the computer no longer recognizes it....

no need for the computer to see the phone storage. you can put the aroma file manager either in your sdcard or usb storage, both should be readable when you use CWM to open aroma.

why should your computer need to recognize your phone?
you can take out your microsd card & insert it into the memory card reader & transfer the aroma file thru the reader by using your PC or put the aroma file manager thru your usb / pendrive & then use usb otg & CWM will automatically mount the usb storage.

If a microSD was present, I would've done that, unfortunately, one is not. So how do i put the aromafm.zip through the USB? i was up til like 3:00 AM last night trying to set up ADB. But nothing seems to work. Thanx for the help man.

just plug in your usb to your pc & then transfer the file into it. after that plug in USB OTG cable (if you have one) to your phone & connect the pendrive, make sure you are in recovery mode.

Thank you guys so much for all your help. I got the beast fixed... I ended up using the ADB 15 Second Tool and it worked!

I posted a solution that requires the use of a microsd card....but you could've just gone and bought a cheap card reader to be able to use this method......but anyway this guide won't work if you don't have a microsd card.....I made this a while back to help someone else
