[Q] TWRP and rom recovery guide for lg tribute

Hello,

I recently was having major issues with my os., so I wanted to just share some of the information I found that was scattered all over in several different places. First of all, I had TWRP custom recovery and super su installed. I don't know how to do the following process without it. If you have root, GET TWRP NOW!!!!!! You will hate yourself if you do not have a backup.

In twrp app, under install twrp there is no lg tribute. I used the ls-990 when selecting my phone. It worked for me and looks like ls-660 upside down anyways. I picked the build 2.8.5.0.

Ok, so I downloaded the stock rom. Jmurphy posted in tribute development thread for a virgin mobile stock rom on page 125 (cant post links here yet due to newness.)

When my phone went bad, I booted automatically into recovery. I still have no idea how to get in there when all is well, but an internet search might prove useful. I booted in TWRP automatically.

Ok, one thing to mention about TWRP, It makes recovery folders when you do a TWRP backup. Do a backup on the sd. Even if you lost your os. If just to get the folder structure it makes. I went ahead and put my sd card in my laptop chip reader and navigated to the folder that had my recovery. I unpacked the zip files and overwrote the files with the same names on the sd card in the TWRP backup folder that was created when doing a backup. I then put the sd back into phone and did a recovery after wiping my os (while making sure to mount all the directories in TWRP.)

Afterwards lo and behold, I was into my os again. My phone was harassing me to make an update. I listened and updated. Then I got stuck in a TWRP bootloop.

The cure for this bootloop is a script from twrp terminal.

Carefully enter

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota



then hit enter



dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc



then hit enter



this got me out of the bootloop. I hope it will work for you too. Good luck :)
