LOL forgot how to Flash recovery! :) - GT540 Optimus General

ok so its been a while since i played with my LG.
ok so i tried flashing recovery through fastboot but it doesn't work.
i tried flashing it through phone but it doesnt work. I am currently on 2.1 stock
and wanting to flash a custom rom. BUt i don't have recovery or raidzero.
ok this is what i did.
i Downloaded recovery and put my phone into fastboot and connnected it to PC.
then i used fastbootflasherv2 to flash recovery. usually a CMD popps up and starts doing stuff, but when i did it the CMD came up and disappeared in 0.0000234secs
and it said i have sucessfully flashed and now my phone will reboot.
After reboot still no recovery.
Then i tried flashing recovery through my phone.
Downloaded Root Toolbox Pro. Flash recovery and done.
After reboot i press home button and it goes to fastboot.
Can anyone help me here?

manually type the codes? or i can upload my own .bat flasher

weird i finished flashing it without problem but when i check phone no data was
lost expect root!
If it doesn't work i will just do it again!
its kinda fun to do it because everyone thinks its soooo dangerous but its not if
you do it correctly!

I'm sure you tried the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" If its not working try flashing KDZ with fastboot again

yea is there a way of flashing it thru terminal on mac? like the way i unlocked it and rooted
helpppppppp
flashboot-mac flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.img
is this wrong?
Hey man, it sounds like either you don't know how a filesystem works, or how a terminal works. Unless you skipped the step on downloading fastboot-mac. If you didn't skip that step, you need to actually change into the directory where you downloaded that file to be able to run it.
If you have fastboot installed. Make sure you have the recovery.img file in the same directory as fastboot to flash. Preferable in the 'tools' directory.

Or you can just do fastboot-mac flash recovery *drag image onto terminal window*
I believe when you flash through terminal on mac it should be ./fastboot flash recovery ./recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.img

I completely forgot about that! I modified my bash_profile so all I have to do is type adb or fastboot and then the command.
Instructions here:

oh ok I hadn't tried that when I first rooted so I just stuck to typing out "./" but that's good I'll give that a try in the future

You could use KDZ updater and flash a stock ROM. Could you explain the problem more in detail please?

i think the best way is to flash a 2.1 rom thru fastboot im sure there is fastboot stock rom somewhere after that use mur4ik's custom bootloader builder to erase fastboot and recovery.

but i was told from someone that if you
do it that way the phone wont turn on
in some cases!
I recommend you that you must be sure that this downgrade would be effect, beecause when you flash your device, the memory is modificated and its too hard to unmake this canges....
If you do it, can you tell us if the downgrade its result (you recovered your warranty)?

Can't i just flash 2.3.5 again after my warranty??
I'm sorry but you keep bringing this up and I have answered it numerous times. I told you here how to do it before.
Here it is again.
BTW: I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS MYSELF.
First of all, you need to get SwiftBootloaderBuilder from here.
(You also need .NET 3.5 SP1 installed, if you have Windows 7, afaik it is pre-installed with Windows)
Also download the correct non-fastboot KDZ for your country/provider & KDZ Updater.
Put your phone in fastboot and use the following commands:
Code:
fastboot -w (this wipes data & cache partitions.)
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery
Then open SwiftBootloaderBuilder and choose 'remove fastboot & recovery' Press OK to any warnings, then your phone may restart. (If it doesn't, then just press 'Reboot device')
Your phone will hang at the LG screen, in this case, pull the battery and USB cable out. Get ready by leaving the battery out, and then hold Volume Down and plug the USB cable in, while still holding volume down to put the phone in Download Mode. Fire up KDZ and choose the .kdz file you downloaded earlier Ensure that the type is 3GQCT and the PhoneMode is set to DIAG. Then start the flash. Make sure not to use the computer during flashing as it could cause KDZ to stop working and render your phone useless (bricked.)
It should reboot into Android 2.1, with fastboot & recovery removed and your warranty intact.
Hope it helps.

When unrooting, you don't remove fastboot and recovery. To remove fastboot and recovery, use the guide I posted above.

I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/mega-thread-root-unbricking-updating-t3400994 this guide in order to root my new p8lite (ale-l21). And it now starts only in recovery as adb shows but im not sure cuz its black screen for me.
So i got unlocked bootloader and updated it to android 6.0 and it all worked fine untill i installed twrp recovery and tried to enter fastboot. It started to boot only in recovery after trying to get in fastboot.
Any Help?

Did you try unbricking method? Chapter 4
I also rooted the phone using this method not sure why your phone got into bootloop. What twrp did you flash? 3.0.2? Because that one is for marshmallow.

Flash the original recovery and then put firmware(dload folder) in your sdcard and turn on your phone by pressing all buttons. The update should start automatically. Just wait 10~15 mins(even if the screen is black).

Download twrp flashable rom by avinash on xda...
Flash it via twrp...
Post your questions in qna section..
Not here
Are you able to go in twrp recovery?
Till which step did you reach? What waa the last message you saw on screen?
Charge it for a day, then press vol + button and power button and see if you can get to fast boot. Try plugging USB in and see if it's recognised, otherwise.

That's the link for fastboot flashable rom v323. It will surely revive your max pro. (Credits to Nageen Pawar. Thanks sir)
Boot your phone into fastboot first. Connect it to your pc. Make sure you already installed adb drivers. Then extract the downloaded rom. And finally, run flash_all.

Why to flash twrp. Flash stock recovery via fastboot command. Download stock rom, put it in to internal storage. Now boot in to recovery. Update phone from there. This method will work.

From stock rom also he can make his phone alive/ working.
But from TWRP it's a better option to check.. because his phone is broken when he tried to unroot and reinstall stock rom
