I have an Ubuntu 11.10 x64 box and I got ADB up and running after adding
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="1949", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="1949", ATTR{idProduct}=="0006", MODE="0600", OWNER="user"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="1949", ATTR{idProduct}=="0005", MODE="0600", OWNER="user"
to /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules and adding 0X1949 to adb_usb.ini file.
Everything is working fine but fast boot is unresponsive. any ideas?
Did you chmod +x fastboot and added it to your path? I just put mine in platform-tools where adb is
i used sudo chmod 777 on fast boot. I tried running it from platform tools and the tools directory as a normal user and as root.
So "fastboot --help" does nothing?
sorry i should have specified fast boot works fine with my phone but with the kindle it just says waiting for device with ./fastboot reboot and wont list its attached with ./fastboot devices
Okay I got it working by repeatedly entering ./fastboot devices from power on maybe it times out or whatever but it shows up then i can enter fast boot commands as normal. but if i don't hit fast boot devices it wont work at all not ideal but it works.
I am having the same problem as OP. I am running Ubuntu 11.10 x64 and I have always had ADB working just fine with my fire. I am now in fastboot mode using the "factory" cable but my computer does not recognize the device at all. I can not get any fastboot command to work and lsusb does not show any device connected. Any help?
I have these two lines in my udev rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="1949", MODE="0666"
And everything works fine

Yep, I have my rules set up just like that
Sent from my ADR6400L
in your /home make a folder called .android then make a file called adb_usb.ini
then add this to the file
%SingleBootLoaderInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0FFF
0X1949
0X0006
finally reboot
then hopefully it will work
To compile Jellybean on Ubuntu I'm going to first give you steps to set up your computer to get this thing rolling. Also note that this appears to be a development preview source code.
This is the base how you build it for our device, it will be updated daily if fixes are made
Running into an error, make sure to write what the problem is.

Krizp0 for pointing out that i missed to credit dastin1015 for tutorial which this one is based uppon!
princescar for pointing out that the java jdk was wrong
Note: The source download is approximately 6GB in size. You will need 25GB free to complete a single build, and up to 80GB (or more) for a full set of builds.
1) You need the following:
-JDK 6 if you wish to build Jellybean.
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
if you got any problem go: https://github.com/flexiondotorg/oab-java6 or to developers website: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
-Python 2.4 -- 2.7, which you can download from python.org. Or:
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install python
-Git 1.7 or newer. You can find it at git-scm.com. Or:
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install git-core
-Android SDK:
Download the SDK here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Extract the SDK and place it in your home directory.
I renamed my SDK to android-sdk to make it easier to navigate to.
Go to your home folder, press Ctrl+H to show hidden files, and open up your .bashrc file.
Add these lines at the bottom of the file:
Code:
# Android tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk/tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk/platform-tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/bin
Find your .profile file and add this at the bottom of the file:
Code:
PATH="$HOME/android-sdk/tools:$HOME/android-sdk/platform-tools:$PATH"
You have now successfully installed the Android SDK.
To check for updates issue this into your terminal:
Code:
$ android
2) Install required packages. 64-bit (recommended)
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs \
x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z-dev \
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown \
libxml2-utils
On newer versions of Ubuntu such as 11.10 you may need to do the following:
Code:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so
Building on Ubuntu 12.04 is currently only experimentally supported and is not guaranteed to work on branches other than master.
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev:i386 x11proto-core-dev \
libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 \
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 openjdk-6-jdk tofrodos \
python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so
3) Configure your USB.
Code:
$ gksudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
in this case we only need Samsung USB (If your building for other devices such as LG you can add thoose too!)
Code:
#Samsung
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666"
Inside of this blank text file insert:
Code:

#ZTE
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="19D2", MODE="0666"
4) Save the file and close it and then issue this command:
Code:
$ sudo chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
5) Install the repo:
Code:
$ mkdir ~/bin
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$ curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
6) Initialize the repo:
Code:
$ mkdir WORKING_DIRECTORY (Note the WORKING_DIRECTORY can be named whatever you wan't just don't use a name with spaces!)
$ cd WORKING_DIRECTORY
$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.1.1_r1
6.1) For people who have already done a repo init:
Code:
$ cd WORKING_DIRECTORY
$ repo init -b android-4.1.1_r1
$ repo sync
7) When prompted, enter your real name and email address.
8) Gather the files:
Code:
$ repo sync
This is not nessesary to do now, this is more a check to see if anything is working properly! (if you know everything is working skip to how to add a device to the list!)
Code:
9) Compiling: [CODE]$ source build/envsetup.sh
Or:
Code:
$ . build/envsetup.sh
10) Issue:
Code:
$ lunch
11) Pick your poison.
12) Now issue (The '#' is the number of cores your processor has plus 1, ex. I have a dual core processor so I type 'make -j3':
Code:
$ make -j#
[/CODE]
~How To Add A Device To The List~
1) Find the github for your device you wish to add. In this tutorial we use GalaxyS2
2) Now navigate to the location you are going clone the device tree to:
Code:
$ cd WORKING_DIRECTORY/device
$ mkdir samsung
3) Clone the github device tree from remote to local: in this case i clone the git to non existing folder, this folder will be created if you write etc galaxys2 after the git tree.
Code:
$ git clone git://github.com/cleaton/device_samsung_galaxys2 galaxys2
4) Now navigate into the folder:
Code:
$ cd galaxys2
5) Connect phone to computer and make sure USB debugging is enabled and you have adb set up.
Before Doing Step 6 Make sure you use latest CM9-Nightly or else you may not getting all files!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6) Extract Device Proprietary Files:
Code:
$ ./extract-files.sh
7) Navigate back to your home directory for building:
Code:
$ cd ~/WORKING_DIRECTORY
Now before doing an buld/evensetup.sh compile, make sure you have the exynos4.mk file its located in hardware/samsung
if you don't have any samsung folder in the hardware folder make sure to clone one from: git clone git://github.com/cleaton/android_hardware_samsung.git -b jb-dirtyfix hardware/samsung (don't use cyanogenmod samsung_hardware as its doesn't have updated drivers!)
8) Prepare To Compile:
Code:
$ source build/envsetup.sh
Or:
Code:
$ . build/envsetup.sh
9) Get your list of devices:
Code:
$ lunch
10) Pick your poison.
11) Now compile:
Code:
$ make -j#
Or for a flashable zip:
Code:
$ make -j# otapackage
~FIXES~
If you are running into issues such as:
Code:
Which would you like? [full-eng] 5
build/core/product_config.mk:209: *** No matches for product "full_shooter". Stop.
Device shooter not found. Attempting to retrieve device repository from CyanogenMod Github (http://github.com/CyanogenMod).
Repository for shooter not found in the CyanogenMod Github repository list. If this is in error, you may need to manually add it to your local_manifest.xml.
build/core/product_config.mk:209: *** No matches for product "full_shooter". Stop.
** Don't have a product spec for: 'full_shooter'
** Do you have the right repo manifest?
What you need to do is to edit your blob to match the PRODUCT_NAME to the file name. For example with mine I have full_shooter.mk therefore in this file I need to have PRODUCT_NAME to match it. Whatever error it is looking for you just need to change the PRODUCT_NAME line to match what the error shows.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you run into issues with Java being the incorrect version here is the fix:
Make sure Java 6 JDK is installed by typing in:
Code:
$ java -version
Open the file main.mk in build/core and delete this line from the java error code section:
Code:
$(error stop)

OK so I have an old laptop running Ubuntu 10.04lts (because it runs best on that laptop) and no other computer. I was trying to root with the guide on the nexus4root website but when I go to unlock the boot loader it doesn't do anything. And I tried running the toolkit from the sticky with wine but no avail there either. Anyone have advice on how to do this, or do I need to bite the bullet and use a friends PC?

Hey, I have a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS machine and successfully unlocked my N4's bootloader and rooted it, but it shouldn't make any difference. Can you post exactly what the following command (which I assumed you entered, without the $ prompt) outputs:
Code:
$ fastboot oem unlock
Setting up your PATH
Also you need to make sure adb and fastboot executables are in your path. I can help you do that:
Open up .bashrc in your home folder with your favorite text editor (mine's gedit, without the $ prompt):
Code:
$ gedit ~/.bashrc
Add the following lines:
Code:
export PATH = ${PATH}:/home/username/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/
export PATH = ${PATH}:/home/username/android-sdk-linux/tools/
Note:
You need to put the directory where you installed the Android SDK on your machine correctly. The paths above are just examples in my case and probably won't work for you.
Save and exit gedit. Close every Terminal window you have and open up a new one. Test by typing in (without the $ prompt) with an Android device plugged in and USB Debugging checked:
Code:
$ adb devices
Setting up the udev service
Once you're sure adb and fastboot are in your path, you also need to add the extra udev rules for Fastboot and ADB (in recovery) to work. To do that:
As root, create a file called 51-android.rules and put it in /etc/udev/rules.d/ (again with gedit, without the $ prompt):
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
Copy and paste the following contents into the file:
Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0e79", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0502", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0b05", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="413c", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0489", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="091e", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666"

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fce", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0930", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="19d2", MODE="0666"
Save and close the file. Then, run the following commands (without the $ prompt):
Code:
$ sudo chmod 644 /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
$ sudo chown root:root /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
$ sudo service udev restart
$ sudo killall adb
Disconnect and reconnect your device (making sure it's in Fastboot/bootloader mode) and run the following command (without the $ prompt) to test:
Code:
$ fastboot devices

To start I will be adding a lot to this over time so dont be upset if I dont have everything.
To open a terminal without finding it in your programs all you need to do is ctrl+alt+t
Heavily used Commands
cd: this command is used to navigate through your directory's. For example if you have a folder named apps on desktop you would type... cd Desktop...then cd apps.
mkdir: this means make directory or folder. For example cd to your directory then do mkdir whatever. Then you can cd right into that directory ever.
pwd: print working directory. This shows you where you are on the filesystem. This helps if your deep in a directory or folders.
ls: this means list. This tells you all the files in your present working directory.
man: this means manual. This prints like a help page in the terminal to guide you on whatever you need. This can be used for many things.
cp: means copy a file or directory
rm and rmdir: remove a file or like rmdir remove a directory.
mv: move a file or directory
The next command is to issue a command. There are a couple of popular ways of doing so.
First
"./": this is to issue or run a command or file that is in your current directory.
Second
"../": this runs the file that is directly above your current directory.
cat: prints a list of provided text files to the screen.
grep or global regular expression print: searches for patterns or a pattern in a list of files. This is great for small editing if thats what your into and so is.....
diff: compares two text files and displays the differences found between the files on the screen.
history: this is very useful. This shows you a list of your recent commands if you forgot the exact command. To select a command on the list use "!". For example if the label for the command is 00 then type "!00". However most linus OS's allow you to use the up arrow and enter key instead.
Also if you guys dont want a full help list using the "man" command you can use this command: --help
Popular Terminal Commands for Android:
adb: also called android debug bridge is used to issue commands to your phone and debug.
Most people use the following:
adb devices: shows what devices are connected to the computer
adb push and pull: can transfer file from computer to phone and vice versa.
if you want to push an apk to your system make sure that apk is in your adb folder and type: "adb push target.apk system/apps"
adb reboot
adb reboot bootloader
adb logcat: if you are either porting, making roms, or just debugging for a dev you need to know how to logcat. Also if you want to just take the log and make it into a txt file to share just issue the following; "adb logcat -d> logcat.txt"
The logcat will go to your adb folder and save as logcat.txt.
fastboot: is a tool used to update the flash filesystem
I use fastboot for a few things including flashing splashes and flashing recoveries. For example:
Take twrp. To flash to htc one you do...
"fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" presuming you are in your fastboot directory in terminal and the recovery.img is in that folder.
Now as you may know htc uses fastboot to unlock and lock the bootloader using the following commands:
"fastboot oem unlock"
"fastboot oem lock"
Of course you should know this by now you need to be in bootloader under fastboot usb mode.
Now to be able to use fastboot and adb u need sdk and java. Lets start.
"sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre openjdk-6-jdk icedtea6-plugin"
This will get u java jdk. Sudo means root and apt-get install means terminal is pulling the file from servers and then installing it.
Next you want sdk. So instead of going all around and downloading it just do this.
" wget http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r20-linux.tgz"
Wget means you are "getting the package".And then you want to extract the file.
"tar -xvzf android-sdk_r20-linux.tgz"
Seeing how the file is a tar "tar -xvzf" extracts that tar. Then cd to the sdk folder and you are good to go.
Speaking of compressing and uncompressing files......
tar -zxvf filename.tar.gz
Untar a tarred and compressed tarball (*.tar.gz or *.tgz).
tar -xvf filename.tar
Untar a tarred but uncompressed tarball (*.tar).
gunzip filename.gz
Decompress a zipped file (*.gz" or *.z).
bunzip2 filename.bz2
Decompress a file (*.bz2) zipped with bzip2 compression.
unzip filename.zip
Decompress a file (*.zip).
Next. Processes.
You know hiw windows has task manager with ctrl+alt+delete. Well here is that for terminal.
ps
(=print status) Display the list of currently running processes with their process IDs (PID) numbers.
kill PID
Force a process shutdown. First determine the PID. Use the command "ps".
bg PID
Send the process to the background.The same can be accomplished with z.
any_command&
Run any command in the background the symbol "&" means run the proceeding command in the background.
killall program_name
Kill program or multiple programs by name. This is useful
lpq
Shows your printing queue.
lprm job_number
Remove a printing job "job_number" from the queue. Alot like windows printing task manager.
lpc
Check and control the printer(s). Type "?" to see the list of available commands.
renice -1 PID
(as root) Change the priority of a running process to -1. Make sure you are Root.
*
Ill add more later. My fingers are tired.
Here are some useful admin commands
printtool
Configuration tool for your printer(s).
linuxconfig
(as root, either in text or graphical mode). You can access and change hundreds of setting from it. Be careful.
adduser user_name
Create a new account (you must be root).
userdel user_name
Remove an account (you must be a root).
passwd
Change the password on your current account. If you are root, you can change the password for any user using: "passwd user_name"
chmod perm filename
Change the file access permission for the files you own. You can make a file accessible in three modes: read (r), write (w), or execute (x) to three classes of users: owner (u), group (g), or others (o).
ls -l filename
Checks the files current permissions.
If the file is accessible to all users in all modes it will show:
rwxrwxrwx
The first triplet shows the file permission for the owner of the file, the second for that group, the third for others. A no permission is shown as "-".
su
You will be asked for your password. Type "exit" to return you to your previous login. Don't work on your machine as root. Use it only when you need it.
fdisk
(as root) Linux hard drive partitioning utility. The program gparted I think is better. To install gparted just like many other programs us the command "sudo apt-get install gparted".
fsck -t ext2 /dev/hda2
Check and repair a filesystem.
Instructions For Setting up a Build Environment for Linux
Make sure you are 64-bit
Have a big hard drive
A good amount of ram
If you dont have java already. Get it.
sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk
You will also need python
Code:
sudo apt-get install python
And git
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core
Android SDK:
I showed you guys how to get it in the first post.
Now open your home folder and press Ctrl+H to show hidden files, and open up a file called .bashrc.
Add these lines to the bottom of .bashrc:
Code:
# Android tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/SDK/tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/SDK/platform-tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/bin
Now you should also find .profile file in the same place you found .bashrc file. Add this to that file:
Code:
PATH="$HOME/SDK/tools:$HOME/SDK/platform-tools:$PATH"
After that you need to install these packages:
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs \
x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z-dev \
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown \

Once you have saved the file type this:
Code:
sudo chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
Now install your repository:
Type the following:
Code:
mkdir ~/bin
PATH=~/bin:$PATH
curl [url]https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo[/url] > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Now all you have to do is initialize your repository and then make a working folder and sync:
mkdir WORKING_FOLDER
cd WORKING_FOLDER
So lets just say you want to sync and build cm10.1 you need the repo so once you cd into the directory type this:
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-10.1
While that runs in the terminal it is going to ask you to put in your name and email address.
Once all thats done just type:
Code:
repo sync
And your good to go. Thats where I stop for now. Any questions just ask.
How to build a sense kernel from source
Judging that you are reading this and going to try and build a kernel make sure you have looked at the previous posts above as they may be needed to complete this task.
Below is the readme from htc dev's website. But why do all this work. Lets use Linux and bash scripts to our advantage.
Code:
defconfig file: m7wls_defconfig (arm-eabi-4.6)
Download:
=========
If you are not already using an AOSP toolchain (included in an AOSP build tree), download the corresponding official android toolchain for the arm-eabi specified above for this device:
git clone [url]https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilt[/url] for 4.4.3
git clone [url]https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.6[/url] for 4.6
(use darwin-x86 in place of linux-x86 for mac)
Build the kernel:
=================
set the following environment variables:
export TOP= [where you installed the toolchain or top of android AOSP code base]
export PATH=$TOP/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.6/bin:$PATH (use corresponding arm-eabi bin path)
export ARCH=arm
export SUBARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-
make [the defconfig file for this device above]
make clean (for subsequent builds)
make -j4 (in this example 4 is the number of processors of your build machine)
Output Binary Files:
====================
After the build process is finished, there should be a file named "zImage" found in arch/arm/boot/
If you are building a rom with this kernel ZImage, copy it into your build's output folder and rename it to "kernel".
You will also need the following kernel modules. These will eventually be installed into /system/lib/modules on the device.
kernel modules:
./driver/*.ko
The only thing I will ask you to get are the following.
-Download the source from htcdev.
-Get your toolchain and put it in your desired folder. Do that with this command.
**On a sidenote you need to know your devices defconfig and what toolchain your device uses. (This is given on the top of the readme as per the one above.)**
Code:
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.6"
-for me I put the toolchain in my directory like this. It is different for each toolchain and device. It doesn't matter. /android/kernel/**toolchain**. That's where the extracted toolchain is.
-Next step open a file and add the following text. Make sure the file is executable so you can run it. Add this....
echo "~m7wls STOCK KERNEL COMPILER~"
cd Kernel-m7wls
export ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/android/kernel/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi-4.6-
echo "Cleaning up source"
make clean && make mrproper
date +%Y%m%d%H%M > CURRENT_VERSION
echo "Making config"
make m7wls_defconfig
echo "Adding Current Version to Kernel"
cp CURRENT_VERSION .version
echo "Building Kernel"
make -j4
echo "Kernel ready"
cp -f arch/arm/boot/zImage /android/kernel/htcone/STOCK-m7wls/zImage
echo "Copying modules"
rm -f /android/kernel/htcone/STOCK-m7wls/boot.img-ramdisk/lib/modules/*
find . -name "*.ko" -exec cp {} /android/kernel/htcone/STOCK-m7wls/boot.img-ramdisk/lib/modules/ \;
cd /android/kernel/htcone/STOCK-m7wls/boot.img-ramdisk/lib/modules/
for i in $(find . | grep .ko | grep './')
do
echo $i
/android/kernel/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi-4.6-strip --strip-unneeded $i
done
echo "Stripped Modules"
echo "All done,Press Enter to Quit"

-This is a quick script that does all the work for me. No need to add paths, etc. As long as your folders and filed match the paths of the script all will be ok. Now this script will have to be edited to suite your computer and the destinations of your kernel folders.
-Now once the script is fully correct and everything is setup just cd to the directory your script is in and type the following assuming your file name is m7wls type:
Code:
./m7wls
Once the script has fully run. It should take a while in the folders I made you should see zImage and kernel modules. From there you will need to know how to pack the kernel.
Notice if you downloaded sprints htc one kernel source the source is named m7wls-jb-crc-3.4.10-eb45596. I changed this to just m7wls to make it easier for the script.
Finally, remember you will have to make directories to suit the script for example this line "rm -f /android/kernel/htcone/STOCK-m7wls/boot.img-ramdisk/lib/modules/*" this is where the modules go "*" but I had to make these folders first boot.img-ramdisk/lib/modules/.
If you followed my instructions and did your own fooling around you should have a sense kernel built from source. This is not for beginners. If you have any questions just ask. Message me if you really need some more help.
Happy Building!
Reserved just in case.
Im gonna feel tempted for one more if i really want to add to more.
Is anyone finding this guide useful??

Hi there,
it seems as if I have a kinda special situation. After rooting and Installation of CWM-Recovery 6.0.4.4 I did the OTA Update. After that, I have the following situation:
What does:
Bootloop with LG Logo
Entering CWM Recovery
Doing a factory reset (volume down+power)
I have two ROMs on the SD (as zip Files): 1. CyanogenMod 10.x and 2. The original Stock rom. Flashing them has no effect.
What does not:
Boot into System
Download mode
ADB Shell
anything not mentioned
I had it sent back to LG - they say you need to replace motherboard (~270$) but I cannot accept, that this piece of hardware should be really finally bricked.
Does anyone of you overhere have any ideas, how I could recover my mobile?
Thanks!
have you tried this

Oh sorry! I was confused with the Recovery. I didn't have the TWRP but the CWM instead.
Sorry!

well you can still use adb push to try and push twrp and flash it reboot into twrp and then try terminal inside twrp

Is there any reliable Step-by-Step-like explanation of how to get ADB to work from CWM Recovery? Is the flashing process to be started from adb?
Thanks for your help! Zombie

as long as you have the android sdk then you just go to the platform tools folder and open a cmd window there(inside platform tools folder shift+right click an empty space), and then you type adb devices as long as your device is appears on the list then you just adb push twrp.zip sdcard/Download just make sure the twrp.zip is inside platform-tools folder then flash within cwm
OK! After some trouble with an empty battery and button pressing confusion I finally took a huge step forward.
what I did:
1. In Ubuntu I "installed" adb
2.
Code:
sudo touch /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
sudo chmod 644 /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
sudo chown root. /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
In nano, I edited the file to this content:

Code:
sudo service udev restart
3. I finalle got the mobile started in recovery mode (CWM) (not very deterministic behaviour to get there)
4. I plugged in the mobile to the computer and did
Code:
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota of=/sdcard/fota-backup.img
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
5. I pressed Thanks on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696 the one who wrote these two lines.
6. In CWM I chose reboot system.
The Situation is now this: The phone once booted into the System (Stock) and asked questions about gmail and locales. In this progress, the massage popped up "gapps was terminated" or similar. Then phone went of. Now the charging animation (fullscreen) is showing and shows 0% for 15minutes already.
My Question is: How can I now asure, to get back to the really original original stock state/condition of my mobile?
Thanks for your help Zombie once again.

Well if it is booted you should check if download mode works, if it does then the best way to to a state of complete stock would be using back to stock guide in the G2 General Section
