Recovery Tool for the LG Ultimate 2

Only use this on the LG Ultimate 2!!!

This is a Windows batch file that can install a recovery, revert you back to stock ROM, reboot into recovery and much more. It comes with TWRP and CWM in it. I was very bored one day so I made this for myself. Then I thought it might be a good idea to let others use it. You will need to install adb drivers and fastboot drivers before using this tool. They are in the zip file. The tool is quite simple and is really easy to use. If cats could read they could use it.

How to install

Download the zip file here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952607707
Extract everything to a place where you can find it.
Install the drivers.
On your phone make sure USB debugging is enabled
Open RecoveryTool.bat and you will get a list to choose from.

Changelog:

Linux support:

I was once a huge Ubuntu fan about 5 years ago until my dad got me a Windows PC. For those five years I have been doing windows things and watching steve ballemer do stupid things. I have since then forgotten how to program for linux so I cant make a linux thingy yet. If anybody wants to send the files to me and I will post them and give you credit.

ROM support:

LG G3 ROM Port 1.1

Ulta Lolli ROM v2.1


Credits:

Andy Huynh on Google+ for teaching me DOS
My cat for being very supportive of my work
@edodson84 for making a fantastic ROM
@SuperR for making letting me use his CWM recovery in this program and for making a better version of my TWRP.

Can I use this to get rid of the boot Tracfone logo and change boot splash screen. I was able to use Xposed framework module to change bootanimation. I think there is a Tracfone logo for boot up and boot down. I do not understand entering fastboot mode which I think is important to change the boot flash screen. I tried universal android flasher but could not get it to work.

Thanks,

Al

This tool does not allow you to change the boot animation. It's because when you try to move a file to the system folder it says its read only. But you can change it by downloading root browser and going to /system/media/ and then remove bootanimation.zip or just search the play store for boot animation changer.

I understand about bootanimation and have done this.

However, I wish to change the boot splash screen( ex Tracfone) which is not part of the boot animation. Do you know how to do this on this LG Ultimate 2 . As I previously mentioned I think it has something to do with using fastboot mode??? and or ADB to change the splash image.

Did you read my post about the Splash Screen Kitchen?
It needs a .img file. And actully I am working on a splash screen flasher for the LG Ally but I can port that to the L41C. You don't need fastboot to flash a splash screen, but you can use it. You can flash the splash with TWRP. I have done it before on my LG Ally. Here is what it looks like on the LG Ally:

I do not know where to find it. I googled android kitchen , etch and got conflicting info. Can you point me in the right direction. Is it in this foorum or somewhere else. Thanks again,
Al
I made splash screen kitchen. I got the name from android kitchen and I thought it would match well. Gimme a little while to build it. It will all be done by guesswork because I have no working phone. But the worst it will do it make the boot logo black or something.

I just finished building SplashScreen Kitchen here is the link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952607707
I suggest you reed the about section before doing anything. And you will have to move the splash.img into the splashscreen folder.

Sorry... wrong link. Here is the right one: http://www.mediafire.com/download/6x0t4u348n9h57g/SplashScreen-Kitchen-15522.zip
Just read the about screen and that s all you need to do.

I used a bmp file to be converted to splash.img, Seemed to work fine but program response said about converting from png file. Also, if use 7zip do not get zip file so I used winzip to zip the 2 files. I then went to twrp and selected installed and found my zip file I had to manually move to sd card since there was adb error. Lastly, when flashing got some type of error expecting either 5 and getting 2 files or vice versa. The good news, whatever happened got rid of the tracfone boot logo which is fine.
When I had aded the flashsplash zip file I did not if i should have chosen the other choice ( not add additional zip files ) so I skipped it. Hope this info is useful.
Thanks,

I still have a few bugs to work out. And the image has to be based off of a screenshot of the device.

Just to test this out, flash this: http://www.mediafire.com/download/kp88lzz9jsmtsg8/SplashFlash.zip in TWRP and tell me if you like the logo.

I should have been clearer to you that when I said the Tracfone logo was gone there was nothing that replaced it.( I only see the LG phone info ) When I tried to flash your splashfalsh.zip file got the same error I previously got that was something like
E: error executing updater binary in zip ' external_ SD / splashflash.zip. D: Error flashing .......(similar message)
Failed was also in red between choices to reboot ,etc. This info should be useful to you.
I guess we did something to just negate the prior splash screen image.
Lastly, there is also a Tracfone splash screen image when turning phone off or switching to recovery. Is it possible to get rid of this also
Thanks,
Al
