its just sitting on the freaking LG screen... every time i vol dwn + pwr and double press power it goes normal but then cwm doesn't come up and it just restarts and hangs at LG again. i ****ing hate this phone can someone please help me out? why won't cwm load
can you describe exactly the process you took to port CWM into your phone? Let's see if something happened along the way to cause it to not work properly.
Also, is CWM the one not working, or did you flash a ROM on your phone and something went wrong, and you are trying to get to CWM to restore your phone but not getting anywhere with it?

followed the steps on the cwm thread. used terminal emulator. worked great. was working fine until now. i flashed kernels beta 2 and only wiped cache and dalvik and now nothing is working. no cwm to restore, can't even get to the at&t boot animation. this is a mystery.

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately I can't help much at all since I haven't done either yet (CWM or Kernels/rom installations) so rather than making things worse for you, I'll leave it to the Pros here to help you. Im sure one of them will respond back soon enough.
Try this:
Disconnect the phone and pull out the battery.
Put battery back in and plug phone to a wall charger. Let it boot to the battery charging screen. Once there press and hold POWER + VOLDOWN
Depends on type of the problem, it helped me 9 out 10 times...
tried it at least 20 times now. just realized that i didn't format /system nor did i update cwm yesterday. probably the root of all these problems. I'm just gonna start fresh with the kdz. I'm on a mac though so its going to be a long night starting with boot camp.
I'm having the same problems...well kind of...
I followed all the instructions for CWM and everything went great. No real issues but had to reinstall the .img twice and then was perfect thereafter. Saw the beta 2 ROM and figured what the hey...downloaded and installed to SD Card. Used CWM/Nandroid to do a backup then installed the zip for the ROM from the sd card.
It took a matter of 10 seconds and said it was successful/done and restarted phone-got a boot loop on LG screen for about 15 minutes and finally did a battery pull-tried several times to get it into CWM with no luck and finally was able to get in-but had to plug it into the wall and wait for charging screen to show. Was able to restore and all was well until turning the phone off.
Turning off the phone now causes the phone to loop on the ATT screen-I can get into download mode and can get into CWM and restore and all is well until turning phone off.
I figured it just needs a fresh install so I've been trying to flash the kdz but the firmware updater keeps faulting and never makes it through the process...so I'm stuck...have all the files I need (I believe) and have everything in place...just can't get it back to normal.
Any ideas from here?
Thanks in advance!
Yeah, sometimes it could be quicker just start over and restore backups...
While you there, would you mind do this: Needed SystemUI.apk from SU640
[EDIT]
@fishscale28:
did you do kdz unbrick before? If not, then perhaps you are not doing it right...btw, kdz file for LU6200 didn't work for me.
Nope-never done a kdz unbrick before-I have the kdz v10i_00 for the 640. I have all the drivers installed, the parser deal installed, windows enabler program running and use the kdz updater to update the firmware. Is there something Im missing here? Seems like several people have gotten the updater to crash when trying to update the firmware...any ideas why?
---------- Post added at 05:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 AM ----------
I went through a few of the threads and saw there was a .dll file to be deleted in the updater folders so I did that and now I can do absolutely nothing with the program. Only start and exit...am unable to select anything, view anything, get anything to function...

I installed from the kdz yesterday and didn't have to delete any files. I'm on Win 7 x64. The first time it ran it told me to restart my phone cause it didn't see it, but the second time it ran until my phone reboot and I killed the program. Be sure you have the KDZ_FW_UPD_EN with UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe in it. Hope this helps.
Thanks for your help. I did all that...again...I even deleted, reinstalled all the updater stuff, tried running as admin, tried running in compatibility mode, ran it after deleting the recommended .dll file and the option to do anything was gone, put it back in and was able to run everything fine and a little after extracting the kdz it would crash. I unplugged the phone and re-ran the proggy and it went through the check, noticed the phone wasn't hooked up and finished the check. Plug phone in, start process over and proggy crashes.
I don't get it-I would say its the wrong kdz but its not. I installed all the drivers and it still doesn't work. I've tried every combo of everything and the proggies keep crashing.
Now I was finally able to get into CWM to flash another ROM and was able to get one going-was able to boot into the os but same as before-once the phone is turned off it starts the boot loop. Now its even harder to get back to CWM but a restore works from there. Any ideas on why the boot image keeps reverting back to whatever was screwed up? Has to be something that happens once the system starts up again as it's after a restore and when the phone is turned off. Stumped and would love to be able to use my phone...It seems like flashing the kdz would be the sure fire way to get it done-are there options aside from the updaters that keep crashing?
Thanks in advance!
Maybe http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/ can help?
alright so i got to the 4% thing and my phone rebooted but it kept looping to the screen LG Optimus LTE bootscreen with the pink candy cane. thats it. i did vol dwn + pwr and got the android arrow and box with loading bar no text, then it rebooted back to the optimus lte screen. never got to the setup screen. tried the kdz again and my phone died. now when i plug it in i only get download mode... does it charge in download mode and why did it not get to the setup screen?!

Even after running the kdz, my phone still does that after installing CWM. I don't know if it's something with my ROM or something with CWM, but if you can't get into CWM you probably don't need to run the kdz. I couldn't get into CWM anymore when I ran it.
So you're saying you go into the boot loop after turning off your phone even after unbricking?
I don't get it-now I can't get into recovery and it keeps up with the boot loop. I've tried running on the virtual PC/XP deal and it doesn't crash but now it doesn't even see the phone...reinstalled all the drivers, etc. and still no luck. Is there anyway to get the kdz installed without this updater?

Yes. I don't think that was happening until I put CWM on. But I can live with it until the issue is solved. I don't think I'm the only one having it.
Where to begin?
I upgraded from Paranoid Android (Android 4.3.1 variant) to KITKAT 4.4 which I believe has turned my phone into an LG E960? Nexus 4.
After some data issues with 4.4 I decided to go back to PA and things seemed OK for a day or two outside of com.android.phone crashes once in a while. Then a random power cycle (initiated by me) brought me to a softbrick? beyond repair (at least every flash/fix seems to do little)
I have been able to boot into both DLmode and Recovery (TWRP 2.6) since this problem began but nothing allows me past either of those or any of the following : LG Logo (reached after my 8th or 9th teenybin attempt, and first attempt at flashing stock teeny. OR the Google logo with tiny unlock symbol at bottom.
I became frustrated and wiped everything (formatted data) through TWRP and have failed miserably with every attempt to sideload or lgnpst both .zips and .bins respectively. Now any attempt to sideload results in a "failed" attempt as it there is no folder "TWRP/Backups/......."
I have tried LGFLASHTOOL and followed directions to a T. but the issue here seems to be this. LGFLASHTOOL recognizes my phone as the LG E960 and states the LG LS970.dll isn't compatible with my phone.
Is there anybody out there that can make sense of my ranting explanations here?
The two MAIN problems troubling me seem to be this:
1) The phone is being recognized as the E960 via FLASHTOOL thus any LS970 flash or file creates a not compatible error.
2)Though TWRP seems functional, it is maybe only partially so. It wants to access a folder within itself that isn't there TWRP/Backups/....(specific random backup number)
ANY help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED. I have been at this for a day and a half.
p.s. a very odd side note. One sideload rom I flashed was Carbon, which failed to boot initially. I DID manage to have teenybin unlock, flash and reboot the phone directly into Carbon (with no data or gapps) and was able to usb over a couple .zips before getting an error "cannot be copied because device has been disconnected or has stopped responding" I thought I was in the clear and booted back into recovery via the carbon rom to flash gapps only to revert right back to my initial problem(s).......
WTF! I am lost. I've had this phone for almost a year and have used LGNPST more than a couple times with great success. I've flashed, unbricked and restored this phone and many others multiple times over the years (i.e. not a noob) Just effing dumbfounded.
edit: I have searched and read through countless threads in an attempt to find a fix for my problem with no luck. I've searched constantly to find a fix with no luck.
That was a lot of info. So lets see if you've tried these things yet.
Are you sure you don't still have the att TWRP to flash KK?
Flash TWRP 2.5.0.0
And try to flash a Stock ROM.
to get sideload to work: there is an option to make a log. it will make the partition writable after a format. had a similar issue when i first go the phone.
otherwise use an img. not a teeny bin and go back to stock zvb.

I noticed in bootloader it references the device as mako, with a bootloader version of MAKOZ10f
I'll try TWRP v2.5.00 now. I just downloaded a Stock ZVC build.
I feel dumber and dumber as this process drags on. But appreciate the replies. I now realize my OP wasn't full of a ton of specific information. Sorry.

in TWRP (still 2.6) I went into Advanced and ran 'Copy Log to SD' a button/feature I have always saw before, and never used.
I'm going to try to install TWRP 2.5 back onto the device first per previous post(er) and then I'll run this again before I try to install a stock rom.
Thanks for the idea.
I've used fastboot to flash twrp 2.5 and proceeded to 'Copy log to SD' before attempting to sideload stock rom.
In CMD this error is now returned when using commnd "adb sideload update.zip" :
failed to write data 'protocol fault <no status>
LGNPST method still giving same results. Gets to 85% error (I know this is normal) but when rebooting, boots to nothingness/black screen after quick glimpse of Google logo....

Glad to hear ZVC almost worked for you.
If you can get into fastboot, you can install a different TWRP. fastboot erase recovery then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Or in TWRP flash a different TWRP, octhrope has them all here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47679587&postcount=123

2 things:
Are you running as admin in the CMD prompt?
Make sure to use USB 2.0. Not USB 3.0
After LGNPST, press and hold the power button+vol up for 20sec+. Then press power+vol up again and maybe TWRP?

A similar thing happened when flashing a stock ZVB rom via lgnpst. This time it hit 85% and rebooted past Googe and hung briefly on the LG logo. It started to boot and ran the "optimizing apps" function. It loaded the OS and a couple seconds later rebooted itself back into the hanging LG logo bit.
In using sideload, I had COMPLETELY forgot to "erase recovery" before flashing a new one. Maybe that was causing the issue? Flashing a recovery over a recovery. Time to try sideload again.....
When it gets back to lg logo and goes no further then turn it off and get back in recovery and do a factory reset

WOOOOOOO that did it for me! I'm now on stock 4.1.2 LMAO. I used LGNPST to get a stock (rooted) ZVB build onto it. I let it reboot and sit on the LG logo for 10 minutes to err on the side of caution, Then powered down and back into recovery to do a factory reset.
It can make calls and connect to wifi. But no data. Probably just need to flash the zvb radio but again I'm almost scared to turn off/reboot/update anything at this point. Just happy to see the phone back after 2 plus days all jacked up.
Thanks for the help everyone!

I managed to do a complete back-up in TWRP of the fully functional 4.1.2 I got up and running. My data (wifi + lte) came back after I eventually flashed the correct radio.
I'm going to maybe stay stock for a couple days. I honestly can't remember the last time I used stock Android on my phone....
Right now I'm attempting to update it to zvc because i'm impatient. Fingers crossed.....
Normally I run stock rooted. Can't beat the battery life on stock. Running asop kit Kat right now

I have never had your issue before but I am hoping I'm leading you in the right direction I would Google how to reset back to stock there's a lot of vids on it on YouTube but here's what I think would fix your problem
Sounds like you need to download a factory image go into download mode plug it into Odin and use the factory image to reset it back to normal, word of advise, just root it and learn about ROMs 4.3 is over rated in my opinion 4.4.2 is the newest we have on the aosp side and it is awesome, I highly recommend beanstalk 4.4.2
Also I found this in another post not sure if it applies to you but I'm sure someone else can confirm or deny
"If you update to 4.3...you WILL have a locked bootloader...and currently no good way to root..
Additionally....your KNOX flag will trip and your warranty is toast...if you attempt to root...( as of today, and until the devs can fix Sammy's latest patch)...
Beyond that...you can never go back to 4.1.2 again...
Stay on a 4.1.2 bootloader without KNOX and then you can flash every rom we have along with a full return to stock if you want...
An update to 4.3 will stop any means of going back."

No I have done a ton of research and can't figure it out, I feel like i've tried everything. I keep trying to go to stock rom, used Keis, used Odin, Used Heindal, flashed stock recovery roms, flashed stock combo roms, have like 12 counts of custom binary downloads and KNOC WARRANTY VOID : 1 and in download mode in red at the top it says in Odin Mode and then Red in the bottom after it says (in Gray) KNox warranty void: 1 and
AP SWREV A2 it then says in red again unsupported version under those....
Roms? You need a stock image for it to work totally different

You did the battery pull part as well? I think the trick is to have your fingers on the buttons first then slide the battery back in to force the recovery but until I try it myself I don't know for sure.

HOW-TO Downgrade from 4.3 OFFICIAL MK6 to LJ2 4.1.1
Do this it works. If it does get stuck on the second Samsung logo pull the battery,
Boot into Stock recovery, and do a factory reset.
It will boot the 4.1.1 stock ROM but it will have the MK6 bootloader. You can flash TWRP or CWM thru ODIN and flash other ROMs. 4.3 ROMs is all I have tried.
I've just spent hours doing this. It's almost impossible to brick this phone. If you do brick it you have done something really really fricking stupid.
I've done a lot of stupid ****, and I have always brought it back to life.

Yup! Fricking stupid------like upgrading from 4.3 to 4.4.1, then in recovery factory reset, and in ODIN trying to get back to 4.1.1 How stupid is that??? If YOU have done this, would you be able to reboot into recovery????? Try it.........
You probably did something wrong. Im the OP of the How to downgrade 4.3 MK6 to LJ2 and Ive done it many time over.
This is the problem i cant get into recovery mode only download, I flashed the firmware from sammobile and did all the steps but it literally wont let me into recovery to wipe the data, I'm stuck on the first samsung Galaxy Note II screen
Have you guys tried to flash cwm or twrp after flashing 4.1.1? Since all you can get into is dl mode try flashing a custom recovery them attempt the battery pull/recovery step.

I personally have done it five times in the last two days. Plus ODIN'd MA4.
Actually I've done it the correct way. I have no idea what you are referring to in your post.
From a non-bootable 4.3 OTA, because I installed a mod from the theme/apps section, I flashed the LJ2 in ODIN. It did not boot. I reread the OP and saw that if it didn't boot, do a factory reset.
I flashed it again in ODIN, probably did not need to, it hung.
I pulled battery, did the power/home/up and got to stock recovery. Factory reset it boots.
Testing different scenarios I got boot loops, reflashed LJ2 and did same procedure.
I found out later from Zen all I had to do was flash a recovery and it would fix the error saying I have an error in my firmware, I need to recover using Kies. There was no need for that.
I understand you all can't get to recovery try flashing a custom recovery from ODIN like suggested above.

I can honestly say that I will be done trying to help you with this. What YOU are not getting is we are trying to help YOU fix YOUR mistake.
I understand it is frustrating when you hit a snag that leaves your phone in soft brick form but as EVERY OP states you are doing these things AT YOUR OWN RISK. Getting angry and impatient with those that are trying to help will get you nowhere fast.
Good luck fixing your phone and I really hope you get this figured out.
Did you thank your Developer today?

I'm getting from every post I have read that you've done in multiple threads, you don't desire any help.
That's what I get.
EDIT : Damn Jspex beat me to it.
EDIT 2: OP, I'll PM you and give you my contact info and see if we can get you going.
As to not let one person ruin the OPs chances of fixing things here is a good way to get into recovery that does take a little know how. Its always good to know the basics of adb anyway when modding android devices.

If your device is not being recognized try a different USB port.
Or from the command prompt;
type "adb kill-server"
then type "adb devices", adb will restart on port 5307.

Hi all, hope somebody can rescue me!
I have an N7100. It's been running stock ROM 4.1.2 for ages (rooted). I've rooted and loaded ROMs on a fair few devices over the years, but typically by following step-by-step guides - I'm a noob to all intents and purposes.
Last night I decided to upgrade to 4.4.2.
I did it without performing a wipe first.
Backed up apps and settings using Titanium Backup Pro
Downloaded N7100XXUFNE1 from Sammobile (sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=32635)
Loaded it via Odin 3.9
It worked, in a fashion, maintaining most of my data and apps etc, but I couldn't get wifi to turn on and I kept getting error messages saying '[App X] could not be loaded'
I decided to bite the bullet and do a factory reset (by booting into recovery).
I still couldn't get wifi to work, but my bootloader had stayed at ME3, so I decided to apply the latest bootloader (ND3) as I read somewhere that this could be the issue (I wasn't overly concerned about Knox as the phone is almost 2 years old now anyway).
I applied it via ODIN again, except loading the file into the 'BL' section rather than the 'AP'.
Since doing that, it's stuck at the boot screen 'Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100' and the only way to get out of it is to pull the battery.
I can got into 'Download Mode' but not into 'Recovery Mode'.
I have tried applying MJ5 bootloader.
I have tried reinstalling the whole stock again ROM again
I have tried applying Philz_Touch_6.07.9-n7100 recovery
All show as having completed successfully in Odin, but none of them changed anything - I'm still stuck at the boot screen
Does anybody have any ideas of what else I might try?
Thanks

Have you tried flashing TWRP instead? This happened to me and got stuck on recovery boot, CWM and Philz Touch wonb't load. Flashed TWRP and worked like a charm.
I am having similar problem.
Tried to flash the TWRP Recovery from THIS via Odin.
Still phone isn't going past the Galaxy Note II logo.

Thanks for the reply.
It processes OK and Odin says 'Pass!', but then it automatically restarts and gets stuck at the boot screen again. Still can't boot into recovery mode.

Thanks for the suggestion. Just tried that, but unfortunately it just does the same thing ....
Man do this.....
Get older odin (personally my preferance nothing else)
Flash the latest stock rom that u have
It will say pass and the device will go into bootloop
Now remove battery any stick it in (just to stop bootloops)
Enter recovery (that shld be stock now)
And do a factory reset
If no recovery......get a custom one and do it
Then let the phone do its thing:good::good:

Hope this helps......cheers:good:

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried doing just that (although not on an older version of Odin) and it hasn't helped, I can't get into recovery.
I will give flashing the Bootloader a go via the AP rather than BL when I get back from work tonight though. Cheers.

Hi, I do appreciate you're only trying to help but, as explained numerous times in the thread, that's my whole problem.
In summary:
The phone gets stuck on the boot screen
I can't boot into recovery
I can only get into the odin download screen
Flashing a full stock rom doesn't change anything
Flashing Philz, TWRP or CW Recovery doesn't change anything
Reflashing the bootloader doesn't change anything

Just to close this thread off, I've now paid to get the phone sorted at a local shop. Took them a while (think their first level support just tried all the things I'd already done), but their occasional staff member and all round guru managed to get it sorted. I don't know what he did as I didn't get the chance to speak to him. Cost me £30.
Hi all, my nexus is a very poorly little thing at the moment. Bootloops on the google screen on start and can't get to recovery from the bootloader. I have tried flashing with a stock rom but it is still bootlooping. I'm assuming the next step is to try flashing the bootloader, something I'm very scared of doing without being absolutely sure that I'm not about to turn my critically ill nexus into a completely dead nexus. Could anyone give me the exact commands I need to use to do this?

I think all you need to do is reflash the recovery. Your bootloader may be fine. Did you accidentally erase your recovery partition? What were you doing when you first saw the problem?

I didn't do anything unusual. Went to sleep. Woke up in the morning and it was frozen. Gave it a long press on the power key and has been stuck ever since. Just tried the one-click restore here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2381582 and it is still bootlooping after that.
OK, I'd download a recovery to your computer and fast boot flash it that way. I've not used that tool, but I did the same once. I accidentally erased my recovery partition. So I just redownloaded the latest twrp .IMG and did fast boot flash recovery and all was fine. That's what I'd suggest for a start.
---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------
Ah I see, that tool wipes your entire device. So I'd go here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images and download the latest factory image. While in your boot loader, connect to your computer and run the .bat file from the download. That all return you to stock. Be patient it takes some time, but that should solve your issue.
Thanks, giving it a shot now
Yep, download, unzip, connect to computer while in bootloader, and double click the .bat file. It will go through a series of flashings. It's restoring everything to factory. Just leave it plugged in until it starts to boot up. ?
