Ack! Help Please!

I flashed my phone yet again, figured I would put it back on lifeless 14 from pacman and I'm having some problems:
1. The phone starts up, lets me play with it for a couple of seconds and then begins a bootloop cycle.
a. I've tried wiping and wiping cache and davlik cache in TWRP many times including re-flashing multiple times and no good. Keeps doing it.
2. Another problem has developed during all of this. It appears that my sd card/internal sd card has been wiped but this is not true. I can't see my data with the phone booted up nor can I see anything connected to windows but....
a. When in TWRP, I can go to Advanced and explore the sd card and all of my files are there.
b. However, if I go to do a restore, no nandroid backups are visible even though I can see them in the advanced menu in TWRP.
I guess my question is, how can I copy all of my files off of the sd card so I can wipe everything, recopy the files back and start over?
All my pics and backups are still there, just not usable at the moment.
Thanks so much. I'm currently dead in the water until I get this resolved.

Did you wipe system, data, dalvic, and cache? And/ or did you do a factory reset?

You ever adb sideload? Follow the first page. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36270473
So if you can still get into TWRP, wipe those 4, and adb sideload a stock ROM. Odexed or deodexed I would recommend. I'll give links in a minute

Thanks for the reply. I did wipe system, data, dalvic, and cache and I did do a factory reset. I did it all, multiple times. All m files are there, I just can access them on the pc or in TWRP unless I go to the advanced menu and file explore. I see everything there. This is very frustrating.
Now, I can't even boot to TWRP or the system. It just keeps flashing the lg splash screen and then goes to the blank backlit screen. I've held the power button down for 20-40 seconds and it either tries to restart or shuts off but I can't get it to go to the bootloader or anything. I've always been able to fix my phones when I've messed them up but this one is killing me.
Thanks for any help you can give. I really appreciate it.

If you don't have TWRP, or fastboot, and can't boot up, then you'll need to either LGNPST. Or LGFlashtool. Flashtool had its own thread. Lgnpst you'll find on irc, or teenybin thread under additional info.

Thanks, while waiting I was able to get the phone into download mode and found the LGFlashtool. When restoring my partitions, will this wipe my sdcard? The whole idea is I don't want to lose my photos or backups if at all possible.
Thanks.

You just never know. I've never used LGFlashtool so I can't say.
With lgnpst, if you wipe in twrp you'll save SD. But if you wipe in stock recovery, you will lose it.
There might be a way to get the files off your phone using adb. But I don't know how.

Yes it will.. it wipes everything...when u flash a bin restore..maybe tiny bins are different.. unless you have adb\fastboot u are pretty much gonna have to say bye to ur storage to save your phone
Also if u can no longer get to recovery it may be to late to pull any files from ur phone

the lg flash tool will wipe it as if it's just coming out of the box, with handsfree activation and all. lgnpst will (afaik) wipe all but your data so you shouldn't lose your photos and stuff

Apparently it was using a different dll last night. The one in the components 3.0 folder called LGNPST_Utility3.dll.
Today, it's not finding any dll nevermind the correct dll of lgnpst.dll. I think all I need now is to have the right dll, in the right place and registered. Frustrated. Thanks for all your help though, you've been amazing.

Thanks man, had to run out before you replied so I stopped in at the Sprint store and the goofy thing must have been stuck in weird cycle or something because it wasn't charging all night. I left it plugged in to the wall using the original cable and block and it was completely dead. The rep plugged it in there for a few minutes and it booted right up to the lock screen without issue. I was even able to get into twrp too. I left it with them to do a manual zvc update and I'll reroot and unlock it again when I get it back in just a little bit.
I'm tired, I was up way to late messing with this last night. I appreciate all of your help. You guys have been awesome.

Wow, this has been an adventure!
The Sprint tech gave up. He could not manually flash it, wipe it, or anything. He could not get it to stop bootlooping on lifeless either. He then thought it was a bad battery or screen so he replaced both (at not charge thankfully) and finally gave up.
So my choices were to have them get me a refurb under the warranty (I don't have insurance) for $50 or borrow an upgrade from another line in which I have no desire to upgrade, it's an extra phone. Either way, Sprint cleared me for both without any penalties on my line as far as my regular upgrade date goes.
So he gave me the phone back and of course I had to mess with it.
I got it to boot to TWRP and I finally got the phone to flash pacman again, had to store the files in some obscure folder on the storage and flash it from there.
With pacman flashed, I was able to get all my files off of my sdcard!
Now, I would like to roll back to lifeless or nexOGen or something more stock. All my problems occurred yesterday when I tried this. Does pacman on 4.3 change something that won't allow me to flash back?
Thanks again for any advice.

All you had to do was wipe SD to solve all your issues.
4.3 uses a different folders it says it under sdcard/0 and stock does not that's why on stock you can't see files you had.
You can pull your files using adb pull to grab things you want to keep.

[Q] Need help with lgnpst

Hi, I am new at this, and have no idea on what has to go on. Basically, my phone has gone in a security error and won't boot into android or recovery, although I can go into Download mode. When I do however, nothing shows up in my lgnpst. I have followed all of the instructions on tSilenzio's guide, nothing shows up though. My computer recognizes it as connected, but when I look at the ports, there is a yellow warning sign on it saying it won't boot (which I assume is normal?). Can anyone help me resolve this issue?
Edit: I have a question, I figured what might be the problem. I had no idea that the components were supposed to be installed. On the other hand, when i go to install them, i get a network error "1316" something about the installation being interrupted by the network or something. Is there any way to fix this?

When u first extract the lgnpst pack u should run the auto install as administrator... that may solve ur problem.

Not sure what you are referring to as components... First off did you install this LGNPST: AutoLGNPST-tSilenzio.zip (70.3 MB), IF so then the lgpnst should have installed fully and be ready to use. Secondly I would assume you do have but pays to find out are the LG drivers installed?
Had to remove links, sorry
IF you could provide some screenshots it would make helping easier.
GL!

If I'm reading your question right your asking about changing the COM port to port 41?
If I helped you, hit the thanks button please!

I haven't ever ran the autoinstall, but the issues you're having sound like a bad download, or install.
I'd uninstall your drivers and LGNPST. Then reinstall both.
Follow LGNPST install walk thru, then in the the teeny bin thread under Additional info is another walkthru for using LGNPST.

[Q] Dropped my phone from about 4 feet and this happened

Most of the screen still works and i can touch it and get feedback but it's mostly black. I guess this is for any phone but I need advice. It's rooted and I have a customm rom on it. I have a warranty on it and want to get it replaced. I purchased triangle away and have it installed but not being able to see makes it hard to use.
What do I need to do to make it good to send back for a replacement?

You could boot into download mode and Odin back to stock.

I used it over a year ago.. but basically you dont need to run anything on android. You need to have the computer set up to use adb, which means having the android sdk, ur phone drivers, and getting adb to recognize ur phone (adb devices on the command line should show ur phone when you connect by usb cable)
Then screencast will show ur screen on ur computer and u can use a mouse & keyboard. Note: you cannot use this in download mode or recovery! But maybe u can manage to do what u need via odin and screencast.
By the way, after you get this working you should download droid explorer. It includes screencast and a bunch of other tools and a UI to transfer files via adb. Here: http://de.codeplex.com/

Warranty won't cover you dropping it anyways. You can send it back for insurance and pay the deductible and it won't matter that it's rooted. Can even say you lost it. But they will charge you for that warranty does not cover. I learned on my s3

No OS installed, pc wont recognize in download mode

I was going to do a factory reset/wipe on this phone and through twrp checked the box for wipe system and now my phone has no OS installed on it. I downloaded the latest files but when i put it in download mode my pc wont recognize the phone. A little box pops up that says something like "your pc malfunctioned since last time this usb device was plugged in and now cant recognize it" So i reinstalled the samsung usb drivers, and it still does the same thing. What can i do from here? Or am i screwed?

Try using a USB cleaner (http://www.thewindowsclub.com/usboblivion-remove-usb-traces-windows) and remove all Samsung devices. Reboot. Then try reinstalling.
If you can get the phone recognized in Download mode, I just posted the newest TAR file in my thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sp...uide-links-files-update-root-restore-t3366862
Good luck and post your results.

That's where I got it. Thanks. I'll try that when I get home and post results.
Oh and I'm pretty sure that file, inside the zip is just a .tar.md5 file. I just extract then use that in the AP line in Odin?

If so, you could install a rom on it.

Do you have an OTG cable? If so, you could transfer the rom to a flash drive.
When you connect your S6 to the computer, hit the Windows key and type in device manager. Try to find the phone there. Right click and go to properties. Click update driver and "choose one of the drivers already installed." See what pops up there. I had this issue with my s3, switched the driver and got access to my storage.

Got it flashed by putting it on an sd card and using my OTG cable. Forgot I even had that thing, thanks for the suggestion!

Not a problem. Glad I could help! Those cables are a godsend for devices like ours. I'm still baffled at why they thought it was a good decision to take it out.
