My screen took a dump and will not work. How do I wipe the device via ADB? I though I found a thread, but cannot find it again. What I would like to do is a factory reset.
Thanks...
ETA: Was able to get it done using the screen capture utility included with ADB.... Not pretty, but it worked.

I have a G2. I decided to root it using the guides on Lifehacker and Cyanogens wiki. I got a temproot using Visionary, and permaroot using terminal. Everything went swimmingly. I only used download links that I found on Lifehacker and on Cyanogen's site (the same places I got the guides to root my phone) I attempted to root my phone and put CM7 on it. I backed up everything with Titanium Backup. I downloaded Rom Manager, flashed ClockworkMod Recovery to get the latest version, downloaded CM7 through Rom Manager, and attempted to install it as well as backup existing ROM and wiping data and cache. My G2 returns to the HTC startup screen and just stops.
I tried to do a factory reset, it just stops at the same area. I tried doing a factory reset from the startup options (power and down volume), nada. I tried reflashing ClockworkMod Recovery, zilch. I restored my backup from Titanium, nothing.
The phone works, I'm able to do everything I would normally do on it, but I just can't get this to work and I don't know where I went wrong or how to fix it. I have experience with UNIX based systems so I know how to work a command line to an extent and I know that part went off without a problem. I just can't figure out what's going on with it.
can you connect to your phone using adb? if you can access the shell you might be able to figure out why it's hanging.
ADB
I'm not sure I've tried ADB, any tips?
Are you talking about hooking it up to my computer as an alternative method to flash it? I had a bit of trouble with that because my computer is currently down (I just moved and don't have the room to set it up yet). I think I need a copy of the original ROM for my phone as well, if I get that I believe I can restart the whole process and do it right this time. Any ideas where to get it?
yes hook it up to the PC, even if it's in a bootloop you might be able to access the phone's system to do repairs using adb to enter the shell.
check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865685
it also explains how to use it
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html
this one got all the adb commands.
I'm not sure about the log command, but there's a way to call on the system log to see where it fails.
it's not recommended to flash an original image again, you can try to restore the backup of the original ROM (nandroid backup) if you made one...
hope this can help you.
Sounds like there is a problem with your recovery, try to manually flash recovery using flash_image instead of ROM Manager.
Use this thread for a guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902493
You can get the latest version of CWM (currently 3.0.2.4) here: http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html just scroll down to the link that says "HTC G2"
After you flash try to manually go into recovery by shutting down the phone and powering it up while holding the volume button down, this should bring you into the bootloader menu and allow you to launch recovery.
Thanks!
I'll give that a try as soon as I can, thanks for the assistance!
I recently my phone - LG Optimus G Pro - using Kingo Root and added ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.4.4. on KitKat. I wanted to install cyanogenmod 12, and when I cleared everything (data, cache, dalvik cache) and attempted to flash cm12, it said my device was geefhd4g instead of geefhd, so it didn't install.
Stock LG 4.4.2 was now bootlooping and didn't work at all. I downloaded the backup/restore file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2760895, and used adb push to get it on my phone, but it gave me a /data error, and I was unable to fully restore it.
It was still bootlooping, so I then edited the updater script on cm12 and tried to flash it, but it got stuck on the boot animation, and is also bootlooping. I can only access recovery now, and don't know how to get past this error.
I really have no idea what to do from here, and all I want to do is recover my phone's functionality. I don't care what ROM I manage to get on there, as long as it works.
As a side note, I made a nandroid backup using the Online Nandroid Backup app on google play store, but the backup made was 8 GB, and ever since I tried to restore my phone from the backup in the link above, adb push gave me an error saying that I don't have any space - though I clearly do , as it is a 32GB phone. The phone does have a microSD slot, but I don't have a microSD card, so is there any way to solve this issue without one?
Thanks!
For the stock rom bootloop perform a factory reset. I probably happens right after flashing the stock rom. Been there. Google for help on how to do factory reset. I think you need to hold down vol + & vol-.

Volume + and Volume - brings me to download mode, but my computer won't recognize the phone (I don't know why, but probably because the /data restore didn't work). Also, I have no idea how to factory reset during a bootloop, and I can't seem to find it on the internet. Do you have a link?
Thanks
Hoping someone can help with this. I was having problems with my Zenwatch yesterday (a lot of force closes of various apps) and decided to reset the watch through settings to see if this fixed the problem. Was able to do that, the watch seemed to reset but now hangs at the initial Asus splash screen. I can get into fastboot or recovery (and tried resetting again and wiping cache through recovery) but the problem remains. I do not believe I had enabled USB debugging (and not sure it matters) but cannot seem to get my laptop to recognize the watch so I cannot push new firmware through ADB. Any suggestions?
same here................ please help

Hi,
I think I can help you.
I made a post with the instructions to reflash stock system image.
Hope it helps! :fingers-crossed:
I tried to unroot my phone with SuperSU.
My phone reset and all I get is a google logo screen and another screen that says "Your device is corrupt, it can't be trusted and may not work properly."
I can get into TWRP through recovery mode. Can anyone walk me through the steps to get my phone working again. I don't care if everything gets deleted and it's unrooted. I was trying to factory reset and unroot anyway.
Thanks for reading and any help or knowledge you can pass down.

Download the factory image that matches your OS. Use fastboot to flash the system and boot images. Follow section 9 of my guide:

Thanks for the quick reply. Working on it, I'll check back in when I'm finished or if I have any problems.
I entered in the commands into my command promp listed in your guide #9.
It responds with "waiting for any device". I don't know if my path system is wrong or what. My computer does recognize my phone when it's plugged into the USB port but I cannot access any files to it directly from my PC.
Also, I do have an old back up on my PC I could restore. I just don't know how to transfer it from my computer onto my phone via TWRP.
Update. I flashed the factory image and fixed my phone. Just took some troubleshooting on moving some files around and using the command prompt.
Thanks SlimSnoopOS!
I was running the latest version of TWRP and a rooted version of the LG G6 port. Everything was stable and worked fine. So I was ready to give it back to its owner who I had modded it for. I went into the settings menu of the phone and did a standard factory reset to remove my account that was logged in so I could test the phone out before giving it to the owner. well when it finished resetting and rebooted, its been stuck in a boot loop ever since.
Tried just clearing both Dalvik Cache and Cache, to no avail. Tried Reflashing the rom and starting over. Still nothing. Tried flashing a different rom. Still nothing.
So what else can I try? and also if its the only thing I can do, rest it all the way back to stock factory everything. How do I do that on this phone. What program do I need and what files. and whats the steps to complete the process.
Thank you in advance for all help that is given
i factory reset in twrp and turned on developers options after first boot then reflashed twrp i always forget backup lol or delete it or use kdz you flashed before anyway i can help i will if you still need
if you have tried to flash the same custom rom or another is still not working, flashes with the program "lg up", you will need a kdz file,and the corresponding drivers. if with that you can not watch this tutorial before doing anything.
if you have a backup made with twrp, it flashes again.

during this process you will have to disassemble the back of the phone, (plastic) you do not need to remove the motherboard completely from the phone, anyway if you can enter download mode try with lg up tool.
if you need help around here we are.
Well now in the process of trying to fix it. The phone bricked and will no longer turn on at all. Is there anyway to fix this ?

Can you get into download mode?
Also, it's possible you have been hit by the bootloop
