I was updating my firmware when it stopped at 10 percent and rebooted the phone. Now i am stuck with the colored screen. I formatted my memory card and put the file on it and renamed it to what it told me to do online and it keeps saying file not found. I can't seem to flash it via usb. Keeps telling me no connection. How can i fix this?

What does it say in the bootloader?
You should be able to reflash your Stock ROM to get working.
Dave
same
same to me. i still can flash and update. USB and sd. but only things that works is bootloader. even can make a hardreset.
Yea, this is why im worried about flashing my phone lol
reset your phone then go to activesync in your phone make sure it set on auto so it will automactically detect the phone when it flash that should fix your problem

I was rooted and running a 2.2 rom and wanted to install the damagecontrol 3.2 rom, which, as I understand it, requires NAND to be unlocked. I downloaded Simple Root and tried to unlock NAND.
When I turn on the phone I get stuck in a boot loop.
I try the recovery console. It takes a few minutes to load PC36diag.zip, the update for NAND which I already installed.
When I say no to the update and no to restarting I get into the menu, but if I try RECOVERY it loads the phone with the exclamation point, but I am unable to connect using the adb batch file I have always used before.
Also, when I try HBOOT USB the drivers aren't able to be installed. The device is read as "Android 1.0".
Can someone please help me?

Bootloop means you need to do a full wipe.
First thing's first, delete the PC36IMG.zip file from your SD. Then when you get the image of a phone with an exclamation mark, hold down the power and volume up key to get into recovery.
As for the last bit, I'm sorta' confused what you're problem is.
Part of my problem is that I can't delete the file from the SD card. Can't get into the OS and can't turn on USB.
Something similar happened to me. For me, instead of booting Damage Control, I switched it to Fresh and booted Fresh v3.0 and it worked and booted. Then I unlocked the Nand and made a nandroid. Then whipped everything 2 times and booted DC and it worked fine after that.

You can get in to usb and put fresh on there by going to recovery mode and selecting one of the options that says USB, i can't remember the exact wording.
Added: I just checked it's called "USB-MS toggle"

When you get the exclamation mark screen, hold down the Power and Volume Down key. Once in recovery mode, select the USB-MS Toggle feature, this mounts your SD card yto your PC. You should then be able to access the root of your SD card via the Removable Disk icon on your computer.
It wouldn't let me load USB from the console/whatever either... Another weird driver issue.
But after several more hard battery pulls I let it try again to boot and it showed me the "HTC, quietly brilliant" boot screen, which was different that what it had before.. I let it load and now I'm in android, but it says my SD card is removed.
Is this a part of the process necessary to unlock NAND?... Do I have NAND?

Check and see if your USB connection is in Charge Only or Disk Drive mode.

no. You make your nand back up when you are in recovery mode and you select nand back up and it backs up everything. You'll need to follow through with the rest of the Nand unlocking instructions.
Did you download and follow the steps of the flash_image and mtg-eng.img etc etc...? Then the rest of the steps?
That's the first thing I tried to do when android loaded. It's not even an option. It says I removed my SD card.
I restarted, denied the update to get through to recovery, and I still can't connect with adb -it shows "Unknown Device" in the device manager.

are you connected with charge only? try hot sync (you need to install the program, which include drivers. this is on the htc website)
Mine worked for hot sync but not charge only
Looks like you may need to run through this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243
I've been reading that post.
When I select fastboot, it gives me other options.
bootloader
reboot
reboot bootloader
powerdown
If I select bootloader it takes me back to the main menu, if I select reboot, I get back to android and still do not have access to my SD card, so I can't get out of the debugging rom, or whatever it is.
I put another SD card in, so I don't have to wait on the update.zip to be read every single reboot, but that's all it did.
Am I doing something wrong?
Don't know then... sorry. You can try starting over from the beginning?
Best of luck.
FML.
Someone? I'm totally stuck.
And my phone says the the charger isn't delivering sufficient voltage... and I'm down to 8%.
HEEELLLPPP
its always an good idea to have a micro sd to sd adapter
After 3 locations, I found a Sprint store that actually existed... had them copy an update.zip that I brought on a flash drive onto my micro sd card. I tried booting into recovery and it didn't do the update. They suggested another store that does repairs, so I went to my 5th store, where I just dropped off my phone, hoping they'll reflash it fore me. I'm expecting a call back.
What a wonderful birthday this is turning out to be... lol. FML
UPDATE: I called them and they said the phone needs to be exchanged... but I don't know how they're going to react to it having the recovery/debug version of android on it.
Does anyone have ANY advice?
Just tell them to put in a fully charged battery for you. Then when you get it home try the Simple Root Guide you tried at first. This time post your issue (if you have any others) in that thread and myself or Jiqqa will help. Make sure before starting that guide that you have .NET framework and HTC sync installed on your computer. But you should be able to root phone and then be able to flash custom ROM after that.
Hi, Last night i rooted the phone, partitioned the sd card, installed radio .08 and so on.
Rom were working fine but i just wanted unroot cuz of the warranty issue. Heres to the problem. When i connect the phone it all looks fine. The computer finds it and i can mount the sd card and so on. But when i try to boot with the official ruu it just loses the connection to the computer and stops with the "black" "htc" logo on the screen.
Here's what i've tried: Reformated my SD card with fat32, nandroid back to stock rom (the one you get directly after rooting) and i've tried degrading my radio image to the one .04. have also reinstalled htc sync twice and get same problem...is the phone bricked in any way? im pretty noobish at this so it was foolish of me to try it on my own i know.
I can still flash roms i looks like, just not go back to unrooted
I've done the unrooting process before and it worked like a charm. why not now?
the ROm was Leedroid 1.4 if it helps
Pop onto the #modaco irc channel on chat.freenote.net
This sounds sortable.
Sounds like its just a matter of flashing the stock rom directly from the SD card....Feel free to pm me whilst in the channel
Have you try to boot your phone into Hboot/Fastboot before you execute the RUU?
After you have run the RUU file and it asks you to connect the phone, go to your windows temp folder (start->run->%temp%)
Sort folders by date and open the most recent, inside there you will see a file called rom.zip (about 120 megs) copy that to your SD card and rename it to PB99IMG.zip.
Turn the phone off and reboot holding the vol down key, enter recovery and it should scan the SD card and offer to flash the PB99IMG.zip.
Job done!!
This will also downgrade the radio images, so beware it takes a couple of boots.
I unrooted today and had the same problem, its a simple solution. When you run it the first time it gets stuck on the black screen, dont do anything with the phone, leave it connected, exit the ruu, then run it again and it'll work
I had something like this too. Just close flashing software in windows when it says connection error, unplug usb, plug it back and start firmware flash in windows again.
edit:i was too late.. lol
edit edit: i did unplug, but looks like its not needed
My solution is more elegant though

Hi,
My brother's SGH-T989D phone (Koodo / Telus) crashed during an android update. Now, the phone boots to a black screen with the taskbar on top. There is no menu screen anymore. No apps at all. Doing a factory reset via the recovery mode does not change anything.
My PC does not detect the phone. Therefore, I am unable to install a new ROM with Odin. Here are all the infos I have :
1. The phone boots, but there is absolutely nothing except the task bar (I can toggle the wifi and bluetooth on and off, thats it...). There phone says preparing SD storage upon booting. There are no SD card and SIM card.
2. The phone is able to go into recovery and download modes.
3. My PC does not detect the phone. I know the Samsung drivers, Odin v3.07 and USB cable are working properly because I am able to connect my own phone which is also a SGH-T989D.
4. In recovery mode, there is a dead android with a red triangle with an "!" in the background.
5. It used to have the stock gingerbread Koodo ROM, and was probably updated over the air to the newest ICS from Koodo.
6. The phone was never rooted or messed with. I don't think it was ever connected to a computer before.
7. It is not under warranty anymore.
I've spent hours trying to get it recognized by the computer. I've tried putting the ROM on the SD card and applying the update via external storage in recovery mode. I get a message about Signature verification failure.
I've tried cleaning the micro-usb slot. Blowing in it resulted in the computer saying "Unknown device malfunctioned" a single time, which leads me to believe it only did that because some saliva created a short somewhere in there. The connections look clean.
I'm about to throw this phone off the building. What is wrong with it?
**EDIT**
Forgot to mention...the phone does charge when connected to the usb cable.

IDK if this will help you. IF the phone isn't rooted or a custom recovery installed I don't believe you can reinstall the ROM. It does say 'signature verification error' so you might be able to turn off MD5 checking before install. It will be in the settings menu if TWRP is used. I don't believe its an option to do if on stock recovery.
Hi there,
obviously I did something wrong, cause now my phone wont boot up. It is stuck on the HTC logo, and stays there for hours after hours. I can get into download mode etc, tried factory reset, but to no avail.
My phone is S-Off, but it is not recognized by adb anymore, so I cant get it to install TWRP.
My OS is 1.40.161.8 and my CID is VODAPE17
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
Of course you can't get adb to work since it only works if you're booted to system. Did you try using fastboot?
(The answer of that question actually doesn't matter that much.)
To get your phone back to a working state you simply need to flash a RUU. Be aware that these methods will erase all data on your phone and it will downgrade its firmware version!
Do you have an external SD card for your phone that is not bigger than 32 gb? Format it to fat32, download this RUU and put it into the main directory of the SD card. Rename the file to "0PJAIMG.zip". (That's a zero, not an O.) Then put the SD card into your phone and boot to download mode. Follow the instructions on screen. Your phone will prompt you to power it down at the end by pushing the power button. Wait some seconds and you can restart it as you would normaly do. You can then upgrade your firmware to the latest version by using the OTA function in settings>about.
If your pc is able to detect your phone by using fastboot commands you can also use this RUU. Boot your phone to download mode, disconnect you pc from the internet (just for safety reasons because of the next step) and disable your firewall and your antivirus software (both can interfere negatively with this ruu). Then run the RUU.exe as administrator. Depending on the age of your pc it may take up to ten minutes until a new window pops up. It's recommended closing every window and programm you don't need. You don't have to do anything with your phone during this process although the ruu might say that your phone should be booted to system. At the end you need to upgrade your firmware, too, by using the OTA function.
Thanks for your help. It worked as a charm. So relieved to have it back up and running.
So after accidently wiping everything I had on both SD and Internal memory trying to make a custom rom work, I was stuck with a phone that only has TWRP on it, basically. Now after I've been through this guide TO THE LETTER: http://www.droidviews.com/install-stock-android-marshmallow-lg-g3-d855-using-twrp-recovery/ I can see it installed an OS but I cant seem to get my phone to load it! SO then I tried entering recovery mode and getting back to default, it didn't change anything, so I tried installing Zoe rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/zoe-rom-v1-0-mm-6-0-stock-v30a-d855-t3402087) and It STILL ONLY LOADS TWRP even though the installation seemed to be successful!
So what do I need to do? Just flat out delete TWRP? or what? Pleas advise as I'm desperate. If needs be, redirect me to how to just completely reinstall everything from scratch to 6.0 or 7.0 (preferably). I was on 4.x.x for ages and I just wanted to update, instead destroyed my phone. Sigh.
UPDATE: Another thing I've tried is to flash it with KDZ file from the PC. I can see the phone, I can transfer files to it, but windows DOES NOT recognize in the device manage so when I tried to use the flash tool, after clicking "Start" it pops a new window which gets to 60% and then stops saying the phone is not connected to the pc.

I just got over something like this this morning. First, you need to ensure you have the LG Universal drivers installed for your phone. Get them here.
Next, reboot your machine.
After this, I made sure the PC recognized all 3 modes of my phone, TWRP mode (boot to TWRP, connect), Download Mode (boot to download mode with cable) and, at least in my case, the flashing lights mode (shows up as QHUD Bulk or something).
After that, I ran the KDZ restore program successfully.
Good luck and let me know how it goes.
