[RECOVERY][v500] TWRP 2.8.6.0 touch recovery [2015-03-27]
- Thread starter Rick Roll
- Start date
It seems there is a new way of getting past the locked bootloader. The magic signing keys for lg have been discovered. Look at Open Bump. We can sign the recovery with Bump and not need loki and there won't be an ugly bootloader error message any more. Also, nobody will have to downgrade aboot.
Although... Users still would need to downgrade their aboot because the CyanogenMod stock Rom won't be able to install it's kernel without loki. So the official cm rom would need to be patched also to use bump and it's not.

Somehow I couldn't get the modified LG flash tool to work.
I also saw there is another TWRP thread for 2.8.6.0
This works on both bootloaders, and I managed to just flash the IMG with flashify, and now I have a working TWRP recovery.
I don't quite understand the details, but this is what it says:
"This build of TWRP doesn't need loki to bypass the bootloader, and it works with both 4.2 and 4.4 bootloaders. It also has the advantage that when you boot the device into recovery it doesn't show that nasty bootloader warning. The kernel in this build is based on cm-12.1 official, but it has the backlight adapted for 4.4 bootloader. You can also use it with a 4.2 bootloader, but you'll probably have brightness issues."

I was able to successfully use the latest twrp recovery.img from this thread and run Open Bump on it, repackage it, and install it. Works great.
@Rick Roll
If you say it's ok, I can also post a bumped version of your twrp build that supports the 4.2.2 boot loader which I have tested myself. But,I don't want to take over this thread and I really appreciate that Rick Roll supports and maintains this project.

I have 2 different ROM backups on internal memory and on SD card. TWRP 2.8.6.0 can only recognize the backup on internal memory., while on SD card it shows nothing. Is this a known issue and any workaround? Thanks.
It is working as it should in the new Bump version.

Why would you need two Bump versions? I have 4.2.2 bootloader and have no issues with @jsevi83 version.
I thought Rick Roll's version was built for 4.2.2 bootloader and the other bumped version is for 4.4.2 bootloader.
Well, as I understand it, if you use one that's designed for the other, you will get screen dimming issues. I have used both and neither has screen dimming.
The only differences I see, is that the Bump version doesn't go through the ugly Error screen and the Screen Timeout feature works with it.

Maybe the screen timeout will cause problems though. It might be problematic for the screen to timeout while it's flashing.
No problems and it saves a lot of battery during a backup.
Are you using the recovery that fixes the secure boot error (bump version)? If yes, then is your aboot partition from 4.2.2 so that it is loki exploitable? You can test this theory by trying to install the euphoria rom that already has a bumped kernel and does not require a downgraded aboot partition.help guys i cant install anything
Imho, all ROMs should be converted to the bumped version so that they do not require a downgraded aboot that is loki exploitable.
really dont know what to do sir
please help me out. What should i do? flash the Euphoria-OS 1.1 rom?
Yes, see if that fixes it.really dont know what to do sir
waaaaaaaaaaa my device wont boot in recovery
it always in download mode what happened
How did you flash your recovery? It sounds like you need to flash back to stock with lg tool to fix this.waaaaaaaaaaa my device wont boot in recovery

i tried flashing thru after downloading a 1.2gb file it says error in server something like that. Im with windows 8 64bit. is it an os issue?
The recovery is just a small file, not 1.2gb. Did you use Flashify?
yes i used flashify earlier and then when i was not able to flash anything
i tried to use lg mobile support tool. suddenly after downloading the required file 1.2gb there was an error happend
Try this tool

You can use flashify with Rick Rolls version, but not with the other twrp that is "bumped". Flashify will try to use loki tool on the bumped version and mess it up.
