hey guys i'm having an issue going into recovery mode, via fast booth after i unlock the boot loader.
i made a youtube video of what happens from start to finish. basicley, after i unlock the boot loader i can no longer get into my android os, or fast boot, or recovery. my phone is 'soft bricked' and the only way to come back from this is to go into download mode and reflash z7 image.
ive tried using rom manager to get into recovery after unlocking the boot loader but it still does the same thing after restart, a quick flash of the LG logo and a black screen that doesnt seem to every go away.
if you have 8-10 minutes can you please watch my video, i go thru step by step what i do to downgrade to z7 to unlocking boot loader.

I just unlocked my phone this morning with no problem. I think your problem is your unlocking with your computer and then running the unlock app on your phone. Try unlocking with just the app.

so you rooted, then ran freegee?
which recovery are you using?
That's all I did. I've been rooted for a while, yesterday I got the freegee app from the play store ran it and picked twrp for my recovery.
My phone is now unlocked running stock rooted v9. Have you went to irc for help?

Did you do OTA v9? There are rooting problems with that. The devs have suggested you root stock v8 and then flash the v9 rooted image from the forums.
Yeah sorry I should of specificed that I flashed the deodexed stock rom from the forums.

Ok so I can't use Google Factory image with CWM?
And, If I use fastboot, I lost CWM , lockbootloader and root or not ?

You will lose cwm and root. Doesn't unlock your boot loader. But its easy to use fast boot to return everything back or use gnex tool to do it for you. Its stickied in the development section .

The factory images from Google are not pack properly for use with CWM. I plan to do it as soon as I have some spare time, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
To use fastboot, your bootloader needs to be unlocked. Yes, you will lose all your data (including /sdcard) if you unlock. And yes, you will lose root if you flash the factory images ,but it doesn't matter, as getting root back with an unlocked bootloader is trivial. Same thing with CWM, getting it back is trivial.

Can't use fastboot with a locked bootloader.
But if he is already unlocked his boot loader. Fast boot won't be a problem for him ( unless he is rooted without unlocking the boot loader using your method efrant.

You can flash the image from Google, your bootloader will stay unlocked. The only reason for you to lock the bootloader is to send it for repairs. Other than a hardware malfunction, you can fix anything that happens to your gnex. Everything can be done with fastboot or if you're new. The gnex tool software.
Okey Thanks you at all

Can you get into fastboot ? If you can there is still hope and it isnt BRICKED ....... Fastboot usb ... fastboot flash recovery again , then flash a correct rom . if recovery still isnt working try fastboot reboot recovery ..... and you may have to RUU . but as long as you have fastboot you still have a fighting chance .
I've tried to just flash the recovery through boot loader. Does the same thing. I'll try fast boot reboot recovery. How do I RUU? Can I flash a rom in fast boot?

We don't have that ROM? You flashed a sprint rom? You flashed the wrong kernel flash arom for this phone and you are fixed. You are not bricked until you cannot turn on your phone

Hey guys,
I had a very similar problem happen, do you think you could post your solution on the forum? I can get into bootloader and i'm trying to figure out how to fix it.
I'm on a macbook does that mean I can't use the RUU?
I don't mean to be mean, but how do people keep flashing the wrong roms?
Just curious

I would REALLY start reading about all the things NOT to do with an S-OFF phone if you think you bricked your phone on a bootloop.
I honestly don't want to see your beautiful phone actually get BRICKED. which means just that it's a brick.. it doesn't turn on, no charge light ANYTHING, that is a brick. And can happen, but if you are careful you will be fine. but Not knowing how to flash an RUU and what a bootloop is, those are things you should learn BEFORE you S-OFF. Just don't want to see you end up with an actual Brick.

Hey on the positive side if you brick it you can re-enforce your home...
Lol! Learned allot in the past week. Andy, everything you said is on point. I took the time to read and learn and you'll be happy to know I'm now running TWRP with bone stock. I now have a better understanding of it all. I have rooted and unlocked many phones. Eris my first. But this is my first S-off and thanks to all the help from xda members like yourselves I know what I have.

Hey everyone, I had to reflash the ZVC software through LGNPST because I bricked my phone and now I'm having trouble unlocking the bootloader - I've never had a problem with this before! When I run Freegee it doesn't even ask or have the option to unlocked the bootloader, just to flash recoveries. I tried that hoping it would unlock it, but it didn't work. The older versions you would just click "unlock my phone" but this new one it doesn't exist. I even tried using an older freegee to unlock it, but even though it says "Your phone has been liberated!" it still remains locked. Any ideas?

Have you tried the sbl unlock in the FreeGee menu? Or teeny bins, since you already have LGNPST.

There is no option for that in the new version of freegee that I downloaded, none that I can find! And yes, I tried the teeny bins as well
The only way to install a recovery is to unlock the phone .

So as Shel said... If you have a recovery, then your unlocked.
I ran it last night and it is even more simple now. Backup EFS, install recovery, Done.

Thanks for the new FreeGee. It's so simple, a caveman can do it.
Guess I need to rewrite/shorten the guide now.
So now we just go straight to the SBL unlock I guess?

If thats the case how come every time i reboot my phone or turn it on this screen comes up saying "Google" with a locked symbol at the bottom?

The Google comes from the sbl unlock that used to be the only option on the new FreeGee.
The Freegee released last night gives you an option of the old style with LG, and the new style with Google.
Eventually you'll end up with the Google style just because that will be needed to unlock your phone. That's just the nature of our phone.
As for the lock symbol, are you sure it isn't an open lock and just not turned? Mine has it and is unlocked. If you press and hold the power+vol up that should give you TWRP or CWM. Whichever was your choice.

Hi everyone. I completely apologize for this question as I am absolutely new to Android and to unlocking a phone. I just bought a R800x Verizon Xperia Play for the sole purpose of being able to play emulators. I will not be activating it to use as a phone. I have read as much as I can and am still a little confused in regards to being able to unlock the bootloader and install roms.
If the bootloader message says No, am I not able to unlock it or install roms at all?
If it says yes, can I install any rom, or am I limited to what I saw as Cola and a few others?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Anyone help me out. Or can I keep it locked but install cola?
You can.unlock the bootloader I have mine unlocked using sonys unlock method but.if you wish to.stay with a locked bootloader yoj can.install cola but you'll have to.root 2.3.3 install clock work mod.recovery I my.self.am.vefy glad I unlocked my.bootloadef and since yoj habe.no.intentions of using the phone side yoj could install numeruous amounts of gsm roms

hey all
got a gsm GNEX that was stuck on bootloop.
have tried every way to unbrick it i could find flashing with odin, rootkit and fastboot and adb... have flashed android 4.0, 4.2, 4.4 and CM-11
same thing happens everytime every seperate flash the phone will reboot 5-10 times then say "updating apps" will finish that and go into a constant bootloop...
im wondering if the phone is either hardbricked or if its a hardware failure.
any help would be great
cheers
Hardware failure. Your internal memory is fried. Try to lock the bootloader. If its still unlocked on boot, you know it for sure.

Did you use the flash-all.bat or did you flash everything manually? The lines could be an electrical issue or its an issue with the screen..
