ROMs Need some help with 2nd-init recovery

Not sure if this is the right section to post at on here but here it goes.

I have been working on porting 2nd init recovery to my device, LG L70. I have already built cwm for it and tried just placing the rc, prop, fstab, and qcom files in there, then recompiling it and testing. It booted to recovery but when I was there, the little android guy was black and white and also very pixelated and on top of that the recovery seemed to be stuck on an infinite load. This has happened when trying both the cwm I built and the stock recovery.img. If anyone has experienced this problem and would help me or point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
 
Yeah the bootloader is locked which is why I need to figure out how to fix my problem with 2nd init. That seems to be the only way for us to get a recovery on the device and I have already taken care of building the recovery, just need to make it work with 2nd init

Here is a pic of what is happening:

Yeah I have a tablet like that was told about a apk in the play store that will help and you have to chose a safe strap twrp or cwm
 
Yeah, I would hate to have spent this much time on this project to just stop and never touch it again. But unfortunately things arent looking too good, seeing as everywhere I go, I cant seem to find a dev that has done this before or they just don't have the time to help. Gonna mess with it a little more and see if I can get it to work.
 
Yeah I don't know if that app works I am at work when I get some free time i can read over the gith of the l70 and this app and see
 
Just an update to this post, me and another person have found what we think is the problem with 2nd init. We think it is the 2nd-init binary, I have found what I think is the source that compiles the binary but here is the problem, after reading the c file it asks for what I am assuming is device specific hex, what can I do, or where can I look to find that information from my device so I can edit it and compile? This is my last attempt at trying to find help, I would appreciate it if someone would help with this problem.

If anyone would rather discuss this in IRC, you can find me here:

That is the android key that you see. It only tells the droid to set a new one each time it boots up into a new ROM or a clean wipe.
