HERE IS THE　EASY　GUIDE：thanks Paschalis !
I had the prev version of CWM, and i wanted to update to the latest, using moto-fastboot instead of fastboot..
It's very easy.. So i wrote a little guide.. Dont blame me.. Its for new guys like me!
Btw will any future update of CWM, have adb enabled?
eg If we messed up with framework or anything else can cause a soft-brick, then recover using backup files..
Step-by-Step
How to install on Windows with moto-fastboot
1) With Root-Explorer go to: /system/etc/ and remove: "install_recovery.sh" file
2) Download moto-fastboot.rar, and latest recovery recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.zip
3) Extract contents of moto-fastboot.rar in C:\Windows,
and content of recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.zip in C (for example).
4) Get your Atrix in FastBoot:
................................ a) Turn it off
................................ b) While turning it on, press VolumeDown key
................................ c) Press VolumeUp key
................................ d) Connect your Atrix to your PC using usb data cable
5) Open a cmd (Command Prompt)
6) Enter following cmd commands:
............. a) cd C:\
............. b) moto-fastboot flash recovery C:\recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.img
............. c) moto-fastboot reboot
7) Thank Paschalis for this guide!

Don't shoot me if i'm wrong, but are you SURE you unlocked the bootloader?
I unlocked mine, but screwed a lot up, so i had to SBF flash... tried to run this and got the same error.... forgot to RE-unlock. Mine is rooted too (had to re-root), but idk if that is significant
hope this helps! =)

lol...positive..

Just to let you know I flashed the 1.8.3 sbf after unlocking and then tried to flash this and met with failure.
I then ran the unlock sbf again (only) and it flashed successfully. Perhaps flashing a previous sbf does "re lock" (at least partially) the phone?

No I did the same thing and got the same error. you gotta reflash the unlock sbf to fix it. everyone is right.

You can enter recovery mode with "adb reboot recovery" too!

Tutorial: LG P970 (P970H) unbrick/flash using SmartFlash Tool

I NO LONGER SUPPORT THIS THREAD ANYMORE. IF YOU WANT TO HIJACK THIS THREAD CONTACT ME.
SmartFlash Tool completly erases device memory during flashing.
Phone will make Factory Reset at first boot after flashing!
You can upgrade and downgrade. You can downgrade from V20N too!
This also will remove phone lock if you forget unlock code or pattern. (phone lock, NOT simlock or network lock...)
This method doesn't need internet connection.
If you want to flash an LG P970H download correct ROM from link below.​
With this solution you can unbrick LG Optimus Black P970.
It fixes bootloop, "ERROR LG Security Team", and BSOD - blue screen with green writings (untested).
Only requirement is ability to enter in to S/W Update mode and not broken hardware.
Tested on: Windows 7 Ultimate x86, x64 and Windows XP Pro SP3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- stock ROM V10A EEU XXX with .bin & .fls. [CRC MD5: d880b8834400575b5827bafbf29a745e] - DepositFiles, FileServe, WUpload.
Other bin/fls ROMs are HERE. (All these links are working again!)
You need to install LG Mobile drivers. They are located HERE. [CRC MD5: e4614071e72c0292d3a8238908b5c7ba]
1. Unpack SFT.rar that contains SmartFlash Tool program.
2. Unpack, preffered C: drive, firmware pack BIN_LGP970AT-00-V10a-EEU-XXX-MAY-09-2011_0.zip
Inside there will be 2 files: LGP970AT-00-V10a-EEU-XXX-MAY-09-2011+0_AP.bin i LGP970AT-00-V10a-EEU-XXX-MAY-09-2011+0_CP.fls.

5) choose COM port.
6) choose LGE Mobile USB Serial Port in Communication Driver
7) click Start and wait till end.
It takes about 3 mins to flash.

AFAIK it's the safest & quickiest solution for flashing Black.
Now we only need newest firwares in bin/fls format, eg. V20N. Didn't find that yet.

Yeah, I used this one when I had BSOD way back. And I hope there'd be more. What I'd like to know is are they extracted or came from source? The method how to extract is interesting if they are.

I think that these firmwares "leaked" from LG or were downloaded from their servers.
I will ask the guy who posted these files.
I've downloaded all these firmwares on my HDD as a backup if hosting delete this.
It has approx 20GB.

Hello all expert,
Newbie here and want to be safe in uncharted territory on flashing my phone, never done it before.
Does the "COM Port" matter, how do we know which port# to use.
Thanks,

COM port is automatically assigned when usb is connected. I know in smart flasher, if you select lge mobile usb only one port will be available.

I have V20N installed, unfortunately cannot get it to root. Thinking of installing REDY's rom.

No.
It's only for stock LG ROMs in BIN/FLS format.

You guys has been awesome and informative.
My ultimate gold is to have V20N rooted. Need to get rid of all the bloatware.
I have the German V20N installed and could feel the efficiency in terms with responsiveness and battery compare to my previous V10D
Now.... to get to REDY's cook rom V20N that are rooted.
Do I use this tool to downgrade to my previous stock Rom V10D and have it rooted and install Rom Manager, then use the Recovery menu to install Redy's Rom
do I need to do any wipe before installing Redy's Rom
thank you guys!!
PS: All of these may be boring to the experts, but are very critical to beginners like me.

When you'll be rooted on V10x, run CWM, make full wipe (data, cache, (advanced) dalvik cache), and then install Redy's zipped ROM.

Flashing to a stock room, will unlock the phone to any operator?

Nope.
Flashing, Rooting and Unlock-Phone are totally different things.
If your phone is locked to a operator, you need to enter the secret menu by pressing 3845#*970# then enter a unlock code from one of the sub-menu. The code above is assuming that your phone is a Optimus Black P970.

No. This method only unlock code or pattern used to lock phone, not SIM.
In short: this will not remove SIMLock.

Thank you for this, is PERFECT!!!!!!!

HI radkor,
thanks for this tutorial. It is indeed way faster than KDZU or RD. However it doesn't work on my phone. Tried several times (KDZU and RD do not work either).
Phone gets in s/w mode. Tool starts to flash. Shows no errors and phone restarts. Yet it stucks with LG Logo and buttons flashing. Stays like this for hours. I tried several times and also used KDZU and RD with several KDZ-Versions and changing options.
It is strange to me that all the programs tell me that the phone is flashed and the phone restarts, but still gets stuck with LG Logo.
Have you seen this? Or should the Tool definitely work?
THX
Ekkkke

@Ekkkke:
This flashing tool works if phone is 100% hardware OK.
Maybe your phone hardware is faulty...
Did phone made a Factory Reset after flashing while rebooting?
Why it is bricked? You tried to flash wrong firmware or what?

thanks for answering! I rooted the phone once but I did not flash anything. Made one official upgrade a few weeks ago. Then I turned off the phone a few days ago. Now it doesn't start. Always gets stuck with LG Logo and buttons flashing.
When using the tool to flash it the S/W screen disappears, phone seems to reboot but gets stuck again with LG Logo. The tool tells me that everything is complete. How can I see if it makes a factory reset?
Probably you are right and the hardware is broken. I may use the LG Tool to flash official V20N with recovers (that program as well tells me everything went right). Then I probably send it to LG.
This Forum was my last hope. Thanks for helping! And the tool is great and fast anyway!

[GUIDE] Injecting CWM into any kdz update

Hey guys,
I've managed to devise a method to inject the CWM recovery image into the LG Update tool during updating with a kdz.
The basic idea is explained in this post. I took it a bit further. During the updating process, you can replace the recovery image inside the updater's memory. Basically, you can use this method on any LG Updating tool. This guide uses KDZ Updater. The method is great for getting the latest firmware for your region and still get it rooted.
This procedure requires some quick actions in order to succeed. Read through it before attempting to flash. I'm not responsible for anything that might happen in the result of using this guide.
Needed files:
CWMInject
UPK
Latest CWM recovery image for P970
Cheat Engine
1. Run KDZ Updater from UPK with Windows Enabler on.
Select your KDZ file.
2. Run CWMInject with Admin privileges. Select KDZU process. Set CWM image to the recovery image file.
3. Run Cheat Engine. Select KDZU process. Change Value Type to Text and write ANDROID! in the search field.
4. Open Task Manager, go to Processes and sort processes by memory.
5. In KDZ Updater, press Launch software update.
6. Keep an eye on the KDZU process in Task Manager, if it starts growing, it means it has started to load the files into memory and you can move to the next step.
7. In Cheat Engine, press First Scan. If it doesn't find anything, you did this too early. It should find 3 addresses. The last one is what you need.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
8. Copy the found address to CWMInject and press Write Memory. This needs to be done as quickly as possible from the time of finding the addresses.
9. Finish flashing.
Now your phone has CWM recovery installed. You can get into it with "adb reboot recovery". You need the Android SDK for that.
To root your phone, put this Superuser.zip on your SD card and use CWM to flash it.
You don't necessarily have to use KDZ Update. I tried this method with R&D Test Tool and the regular LG Mobile software update. You just need the right process name for CWMInject and Cheat Engine.

That is excellent man. Bin files? Nobody need it anyway. Lol. Profit!
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App

Updated the first post with the guide. Cheers

Confirmed, working with V20F from Orange Romania, using R&D Tool.
CWMInject.exe needs to be run as administrator, in case you're using Win as a non-privileged user.
As an interesting sidenote, I forgot to do a factory reset before (coming from Zeus v4.01b), so I got a bootloop. Easy way to get rid of that: flash a V10 based firmware, it won't recognize the ext4 data partition -> no bootloop. Did a factory reset from there, then repeated the flashing for V20F. Worked like a charm.

Amazing!!!!!!

Awesome! With R&D... the process is "LGUserCSTool". After flashing it boots directly to CWM.
CSE Web upgrade test: (Small server)(for a factory reset)

Flashed V20N with R&D.
It works like a charm. Thank you very much.

Great to see it working for everybody!
If you're feeling adventurous, you can test my updated CWMInject. It has a built in memory scanner, so you can just press Start after you've started updating.
Edit:
Oh yeah, it requires .Net Framework 4 now...

Very nice. I guess the Cheat Engine is no more required.
ETA: maybe it would be a good idea to specify in the manifest that it requires admin privileges.

Yeah, good idea.
I guess not everybody disables UAC as the first thing after installing Windows

I have a Question!... When is the best moment to aply CWMInject?? i want to use R&
__________________________
i solve the question, really works so great!!!

I've usually applied it around the 10% mark, so it gets done at 16% or so. It's worked every time, for all the updating software, since the underlying flashing process seems to be the same for each one.

Yeah, it works very well and together with this trick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473781 you can now flash KDZ if it is not for your region.

Didnt work with V20B_00.kdz for India
I did everything as stated in the first post. The Memory of recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.3-p970 was also injected successfully within 10% of flashing. And phone rebooted with new the rom. However, I am not able to get into the CWM. I tried the vol+ hard key while booting, but CWM is not coming. Help!

What is this for?
What is this Android SKD? how is such injection of CWM useful?

It is simple. With CWM injection you can root every KDZ. And with KDZ firmware update fix, you can use R&D Tool and flash KDZ to your phone.

Nice thread.. My sister just got an optimus black, ( And i want to root it) does this method should be with the phone on download mode or what ??
Not very familiar with the way optimus root process is done. I own a GS2
EDIT: Well I did with the phone ON, and USB debug mode ON,/ OFF, also have tried doing [Remove battery,sim,SD] hit vol up and inert the usb cable to enter in download mode.. But always when I click Launch Software Update when it starts to decompress the KDZ file it just got frozen, and (Not Responding)
Any clue ? I´m trying to root a v20a (mexican) version.
Thanks.

I can't open CWMInject, I'm on Windows XP...

not what I did wrong, now my phone does not start this brick

Firstly, install mediatek vcom drivers, don't use the add hardware option in device manager. Right click proper .inf file in explorer and click install, click continue with the installation on the warning prompt. If you are on Windows 8/8.1/10 search for how to install unsigned drivers and do the same. Then download the twrp package from this forum. It should have boot.img and recovery.img . Install with sp flash tool, select the scatter file from the folder and make sure both boot and recovery are ticked. Go to options ->download and make sure both checksums are ticked. SP flash tool dropdown menu should show download only. Click download/start/whatever and connect powered off phone with a good data cable. Flash should start and it'll finish soon. Now disconnect data cable, press both volume buttons firmly and press power button. Don't let go unless you see a Lenovo logo. It should boot into TWRP. You custom ROM may not boot but now you have TWRP.
Edit: Here is the TWRP link http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-a7000/development/twrp-recovery-lenovo-a7000-mm-t3358436. Do NOT untick boot.img. If you can't get to recovery you must flash boot.img as well

Hi i tried your way, but i got error error.
here is how i proceeded:
where i made a mistake?

There are two possibilities here,
1. Your phone is not really A7000, rather it is A7000 plus or turbo
2. The installed partitions are different enough that SP Flash tool refuses to flash it.
You can try to flash the stock rom S228 if you are sure it is lenovo A7000. If it again throws out same error and you are perfectly SURE it is lenovo a7000, you can try to format first and then flash the rom, although it is not recommended.

1.) I have lenovo a7000-a
2.) I also tried a7000-a stock firmware, but when i downloaded it via SPFlashTool, downloading stuck at Download DA 100% and then i get timeout.
EDIT:

I also have Lenovo a7000-a. Tried flashing stocks roms (as per other thread) as stock ROM but still gets grey screen and white lines.
What ROM build number are you using. Can you share the link?
I just want to revert back to original (stock) ROM and make it work again.

There are two possibilities here,
1. Your phone is not really A7000, rather it is A7000 plus or turbo
2. The installed partitions are different enough that SP Flash tool refuses to flash it.
You can try to flash the stock rom S228 if you are sure it is lenovo A7000. If it again throws out same error and you are perfectly SURE it is lenovo a7000, you can try to format first and then flash the rom, although it is not recommended.

Mi5 softbricked after removing default launcher. File recovery possible?

Hi,
I have removed default-launcher by accident, then i tried to install Mi Launcher from store, and everything was meh. After rebooting my phone, it stuck at recovery menu. After that, i updated the firmware using Mi Assistant, and nothing changed. I just want to backup my photos and files. I wasn't able to get any success with fastboot and adb either. Bootloader is locked, device is not rooted. Could you please help me?

Hi, so are you able to boot into recovery? In recovery, your computer could recognize the phone (in TWRP it does).

Yes it boots into stock recovery menu. I don't have a custom recovery installed, and i cannot install either because phone's bootloader is locked (which will wipe the all data including my images etc. if i do that). My USB-Debugging was enabled while the phone was on, but right now, I am unable performa any adb commands.

Ok, I see two possible solutions:
1. When you boot to stock recovery and connect your phone via USB, does it open on your PC as a drive? Could you extract files this way?
2. Are you able to install updates via stock recovery? (I had to ask, I didn't use stock recovery for years) If yes, you could theoretically flash an original Xiaomi ROM. Please see this article: https://bit.ly/39wTVmj

1. Yes it connects to pc but not as a media or drive, in sideload mode in adb. There is no way that i can make it force use that.
2. I am not able to install updates via stock recovery. It doesn't have option nor file explorer like the one that you posted. There are 3 options:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- Reboot (Regular reboot)
- Wipe (I would like to wipe cache partition but it doesn't give any information. The info on the net suggests that it factory resets the phone. So my data/photos will be gone)
- Connect with MiAssistant (In this mode PC detects the device in adb sideload)
The problem with MiAssistant is that it's no longer continued to be developed in English. So the latest version they provide on their website is not even recognising the device. However after some search I found some unofficial translations of Chinese Beta versions of this software. I have found v3.0.3301.134 and v4.0 versions. v4 crashed during installing stock rom (recovery.exe stopped working), however I was able to "Update" to the stock rom with v3 version using this guide.
After that nothing happened. It installed till 100%, and keeps rebooting. I am not even sure if it's installed correctly anymore. All i can think of is wiping cache, but that doesn't seem possible either.

In this case, I don't know. Maybe someone else will find solution.

I don't know if my solution will work or not, just try it if you don't have any other option.
Try it at your own risk, IT MIGHT HARD BRICK YOUR DEVICE.
1: Download Miracle Box crack.
2: Install Mi 5 and Mi 5's fastboot driver.
3: Open Miracle Box and follow the screenshot I uploaded.
https://2.pik.vn/2020c57cbe0d-5f8e-4fae-b73b-7332da16e2b2.png
4: Tap the "Start button" and wait for miracle. Reboot to your phone, if it shows "unlocked" then it means the bootloader is unlocked, install TWRP. Launch TWRP then connect your phone to the PC and get the files back.
