Battery Cover Pin Out
Did you know you dont need the battery cover on to manipulate power on, off, volume buttons.
Here is the pin out:
bottom right - common ground
bottom left - Volume -
top right - Power
top left - Volume +

To turn on power, youd get a paper clip and connect the bottom right with the top right. If you want power and volume down (recovery) youd connect the bottom left, bottom right, and top right pads together.

Could you please pull me your system.img & boot.img files? Have gone from one-click-root to brick and back... rooted now but no way to get a clean install of phone so can receive marshmellow (or any) update(s)!!
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I bricked this phone with SuperSUME. Dumb mistake with not having custom recovery for it... I am attempting to build a TWRP over the next few days for this phone. Using the http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-how-to-root-lgls770-5-1-1-t3184649 method I am able to view files in the Send_Command.exe shell with "LS" commands. My phone is stuck in a bootloop however I feel there is still hope for it. I took a copy off of a friends phone of Boot, Recovery, System and carrier partitions in .img format. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I may be able to do to recover this phone. It is my life force :p

OK so I have rooted my ls665 using Kingroot, and I got the xposed installer and a couple of modules running by following a link from this thread. My question is, is it possible to flash TWRP or CWM using flashfire or flashify? I'd imagine nobody has compiled one yet, but if there was one, couldn't it be flashed that way, and then on to custom Roms? I've had other phones with locked bootloaders before and that's how it was done

Yeah but not with the recovery you can flash a rom with flashfire, but nobody would try.

The lg leon roms would go nicely in

So a Leon ROM will work on the Triumph 2 unmodified? Same hardware? I mean I'm not gonna be the first to try it, this is my only phone atm, but good to know for someone else who might want to try. What about TWRP for the Leon? Could I just grab that & flash it via flashfire or flashify?

You can't flash the recovery since the bootloader is locked

Leon's TWRP doesn't work for the Tribute 2. Flashed it with TWRP Manager and booting recovery gives Secure Boot Error 1003. So I have no recovery now lol. No big deal for me really, but figured I'd let it be known on here so somebody else doesn't make the same mistake I did.
Ummm ask someone to backup there stock recovery and send it to you

A dump from what I know has the android system in it, I found a image file named system.img, thats the system folder with the apps in it right? I can't seem to open it. It wants me to burn a cd but I just want to open it. I tried ext4 unpacker and that said the file was not the right format. Could any of you tell me how I could open it? I would like to open it so I could try some apps on my LG L22C, in the reviews I watched the apps looked different then the normal ones. I think the apps should work because from what I have read the LG Power is the same as the LG Leon and the LG Leon is the same as the LG Tribute 2. Any help is very much appreciated!

Using that logic I tried to flash twrp from the Leon and I have no recovery now

Does anybody know how to get into the secret menu on this phone? I've tried all the #*#*_____*#*# codes I could find for the Leon, and none have worked.

BTW, I was able to get my recovery back by flashing this with Flashify. Just rename the file to have " .img " after it and flash away!!

drive.google.com/file/d/0B76ml2yzUbRZMmE4eG03bWo1N0E/view?usp=docslist_api

I wish it was a working TWRP, but at this point a working stock recovery is better than nothing
