How to enter flash mode

From off state, press and hold Volume UP+Power+Home, then release Power and hold the other two.

The phone will stay on the LG logo and show a black log screen once you connect the USB cable.

Internal memory Installation

Note Flashing rootfs via fastboot does not work, try #SD card Installation instead

Both pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs and pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs --partition userdata fail with:

 [12:50:20] (native) flash rootfs image
 target didn't report max-download-size
 Sending 'userdata' (464896 KB)...
 FAILED (remote: data too large)

You can flash by recovery zip or SD card.

SD card Installation

  1. Build image (on your computer) and prepare the installation as usual
    $ pmbootstrap init
    $ pmbootstrap build device-lg-e610
    $ pmbootstrap install --sdcard=/dev/mmcblk0
    
  2. Put the phone in Fastboot mode and connect it to your computer
    $ pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel
    

Issues

  • LightDM doesn't show up on the screen by default. To fix this you need to add logind-check-graphical=false in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf. See Display_manager#CanGraphical_issue for more info.
  • PulseAudio reboots the device. This is particularly problematic in Xfce, since it launches PulseAudio at startup. To make Xfce usable, you may want to uninstall the pulseaudio package or delete the /usr/bin/pulseaudio binary. (apparently Samsung Galaxy Young (samsung-royss) also has this problem?)
  • console and fbkeyboard user interfaces don't show the actual console.
    It might be because CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE is disabled. But rebuilding the kernel with this option enabled causes a kernel panic.
  • Loading module blobs doesn't seem to work when the kernel is compiled with gcc-6. Downgrading to gcc-4 sort of fixes the issue, but WiFi fails to load anyway.
