Bootloader working but can't load recovery mode to restore ROM

Hi all,
Hope someone can help, I have a desire HD that has some issues.
Long story short the phone was acting up and was flashed with a non official ROM. It was working originally but after about a week it started acting up, with apps force closing, phone crashing altogether etc.
I am trying to get the phone back to a state that Vodafone in Australia will be able to warranty the phone in.
The current situation is that when the phone turns on, it'll load straight to the bootloader/hboot. Recovery mode does not work - it dumps you in to fastboot menu and fails to load.
System restore from boot menu does not work either, and there is no rom at all so USB debugging is a no go, and there appears to be no way to flash the ROM.
Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Use adb / fastboot to push a new recovery to the phone (I hope you left USB debugging enabled).

Sadly no USB debugging doesn't seem to work. Makes the sound that it connects to the computer and that bootloader states its connected by usb however it doesn't seem to phone is connected. Any other ideas?

ei crystal!! has you tested with FASTBOOT COMMANDER? if you download it you can flash a new recovery from this tool... its intuitive...
you only must to download the tool

How did you check to see if adb shell can see the device?

Run an pb98.img from the bootlaoder

adb get-state

Code:

But this does depend on you having previously ticked USB Debugging option before you had all these problems (no way to check now without being able to boot the phone).
If this fails you may have to try the previous suggestion of putting a PD98IMG on your sdcard then going into fastboot on the phone.

Currently there is no Rom on the Phone. Just put PD98IMG.zip on the SD card which seems to be updating. Does it normally take a while to Update all the Sections?

Can take anything from 5 to 20+ minutes.

Seems to be taking ages to even get past [1]. Is that normal? Hasn't done anything. It says "Updating" yet I'm still yet to see it get past "[1] BOOTLOADER"

Just to confirm...
1. Turn phone off
2. Put PD98IMG file onto ROOT of sd card
3. Use vol- and power button to get to Fastboot
4. Scroll and select Bootloader (HBOOT)
(might automatically do last step when you boot phone)
Phone will show a message to say it is looking for the file then unpack it and install.

Confirmed dude. Doesn't seem to be doing much though. It has been stuck on "updating BOOTLOADER". It has trying to update it for more then 30mins now
It has a big list of 12 things it wants to update however it hasn't moved past the first file "BOOTLOADER" in over 30mins.

Did you confirm the MD5HASH of the file before putting it on the card?
Could you put a link to where you got the file from please?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003

Thank you.
Are you still connected to the PC? If so disconnect and try again.
Did you confirm the MD5HASH?
Have you got another SD card you can try? If not, reformat the current one and put the PD98IMG file on it again and try again.

The Device fails to even turn on now dude. Thanks anyway man

!!!???!!!
Damn. Do you just get the orange flashing light when you try to turn the phone on?
Take out SD Card and try.
If nothing works the bright side is you can send it to HTC and say "I woke up, turned it on and it's dead". Chances are they'll never be able to tell how it happened.
Many people did this when the Clockwork recovery bug bricked loads of phones.
Sorry but stay positive. Always a sliver lining.

Thank you
thanks for your great guidance to get back to recovery. I followed your tips and made it.
thanks a lot once again.

[GUIDE] Restoring Phone from Soft-Brick and FAQ [7/11]

!!!!!!!NOTE!!!!!!!
USE TEENYBIN IN DEV SECTION
!!!!!!!!NOTE!!!!!!
Hi All,
I've noticed that there isn't a guide that contains all the information for restoring your phone to a stock state. I recently soft-bricked my phone, and with the help of XDA and the members at IRC I was able to restore my phone. Most of these methods will require you LGNPST ; however, we'll also attempt to fix with restoring backups and flashing new roms.
Accessing Recovery Screen (First Step if you have bricked your phone)
This is our initial step for any problems that might arise. If you can access recovery, usually you're in a perfectly fine situation.
1. Power off your phone by holding Volume down & power at the same time.
2. When the screen shuts off, switch to entering fastboot by holding Volume Up & Power. Release immediately once you see a black screen with some text on the bottom.
3. You should see a black screen with some text at the bottom.
4. Press volume down 2x and then the power button.
5. You should see either TWRP or CWM recovery.
6. Wipe Cache, Dalvic Cache, and Factory Wipe
7. Flash new stock zip. Wipe caches again.
8. Restart.
I don't have a zip in my local storage!!!!
It's okay. We can still fix this. All we need to do is sideload the zip.
On PC or Mac
1. Download the Android SDK HERE or Download Files Located below.
2. Place files on Desktop.
3. Enter Terminal or Console
4. Go to your desktop by entering
cd /Users//Desktop
The is your unique information.
On Phone
1. Do step 1 -5 above.
2. On TWRP go to advanced and place your phone in ADB mode.
3. Wait for the terminal screen to come on.
After setting up the above
1. Go back to your PC and type the below.
For Windows remove the "./"
./adb sideload .zip
2. On terminal you should see the percentile for the upload.
3. Wait.
4. Do steps 6-8 on Accessing Recovery Screen
LGNPST(No Direct Links)
Getting the files to revert back to stock can only be accessed from IRC or private message me. Please, DO NOT SHARE the link.
For anyone at IRC, if I provide to much information, I will be more than willing to pull information.
IRC Here
After you've acquired the Auto-LGNPST and the .tot file which can be accessed from the Sprint Directory.
1. Run install.bat to install the necessary programs. If you are using Windows Vista or later then Run install.bat as Administrator (Right click install.bat and click Run as Administrator)
2. Download the proper factory image (should end with .tot) and rename the file from .tot to .bin (if it ends with .zip, gzip, .rar, .7z, .tar, etc. than you need to extract it first)
3. Plug your phone into the computer. Then put your phone in download mode, continue reading if your not sure how. From then power off state press and hold Volume Up + Down and then press Power. If this does not work then try again except release the power before the LG logo shows up. The phone's screen will says "Download Mode Do Not Unplug".
4. Wait for the drivers to be detected and installed. Once they are run LGNPST. To do so do the following: Click Start - All Programs (if applicable) - LGNPST
5. Select LGNPST_LS970.dll for the DLL file and then for the .bin file, use the bin file that you renamed from tot to bin.
If LGNPST errors out at 85%, after a few minutes turn your phone off and hold the power button until the phone powers on, then release.

Volume Up + Power = Boot into Fastboot Mode

On launcher screen
Volume Down + Power = Power Down
Fastboot Screen
Volume Down twice, then press Power = Enter Recovery
Additional information
There is now a v9 root method.
Utilize the v9 .tot avaible in XDA or IRC. v9 tot
Many people are experiencing issues when LGNPST times out at 85%, which then leads to a phone that never roots and unlocks properly. If you're still soft-bricking, follow these steps.
Shut the phone off by placing your phone in download mode
When in download mode, hold down volume down and power for 30+ seconds
When the phone is shut off, and isn't turning itself back on when no buttons are pressed, plug into a wall cahrger
If you don't immediately see a charging battery, leave the charger for a considerable amount of time.

If possible could I get a LGNPST pm?

So my computer doesn't seem to recognize my device. I wiped out too much info with TWRP and now have no ROM or any OS on the device, but can get into fastboot and TWRP, but when I enter "adb devices" the list is empty. How can I get my Win 7 computer to recognize my device?

So I'm using LGNPST to get my friends phone back to stock using all files provided via IRC.
Just as indicated, LGNPST errors out at 85%, I unplug and hold power button as instructed but nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong?
*EDIT* got it figured out, thanks to everyone that helped.

Disaster (I hope not)
Hi ... please help my phone is drowning and needs some CPR badly.
I tried to install lifeless on Sprint LS 970 using TWRP ... all went well,or so TWRP reported, until I tried to reboot and got the dread gray screen that won't ever turn completely off ...
I've repeatedly (like over and over) tried everything in this post to try and get into recovery or fast boot but nothing worked ... it will go into download mode and it will turn off and not immediately turn back on if I hold the power and vol down button for a minute or so, but when I try the next step and plug in the ac charger I get an immediate single flash of the LG loader and the gray screen.
So what should I do now or next or whatever to try and salvage the thing. Computer wise I am running Win 7 64, is there anything I can do from there via download mode?
Also, there's a pinhole on the top (G side of the LG logo) of the phone which looks suspiciously like like it should be a reset button, but pusing it with a dental pick has gotten me nowhere ... but maybe I'm missing something there as well.
Or would it help to remove the two torx screws, open the case, and pull the battery for a minute or two. (Must remind myself to never ever buy another phone with a locked down battery ... talk about the ultimate in dumb design ... especially when the thing starts refusing to accept a charge long before the user is due for a two-year upgrade.) The problem is it's wonderful phone except for that bit of idiocy.
Anyway, I would appreciate it more than I can say, and even donate something to the development kitty, if someone could help me reanimate this phone.
Thanks

I am having trouble too. When I click install.bat it doesn't install anything. It says file path could not be found. I have done it twice
to no avail. I am already logged in as admin. Home computer running 64bit win 7. Also in lgnpst I can select a dll file but it is a
componant 5 .dll not anything near what it should be.
O.k. N.M. The problem with my computer is I can't extract in my download folder, I need to move the file to my desktop and work from there.
We will see how the rest goes now. Well it didnt help, it errors out in like 2 seconds. Looks like i will have to wait for a rom.

LGNPST for linux
Can LGNPST be run on a linux box and if so where can I find the download?

I apologize for anyone that's been trying to contact me regarding LGNPST. As you know, JB leaked and we've all been busy. Hopefully one of the many amazing members helped.

that guy guided me through the whole proccess , online .
SUPER thanfull to him , now i know how to flash to stock

This solution helped me! I soft bricked my LG G3 D855 European version by changing a XML file for increasing highest allowed volume as the volume is very low on the LG G3 phone. It caught me in a boot loop and I found this thread.
This is what I did:
1. Removed battery and noted down the IMEI number of my phone.
2. Opened link: csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=XXX
(Where XXX is my IMEI number WITHOUT any dashes! -> Important or your link will fail). Link gave me a kdz file to download on about 1.2 GB.
3. Started phone in Download mode (Volume Up while inserting USB cable --> Note you need LG USB drivers installed).
4. Ran LG Flash tool and chosed my kdz file that I retrieved in step 2. Pressed START and ignored any warnings.
5. The phone downloaded the kdz file to phone and restarted twice.
All good!
Thanks sooo much!!!

can you please explain what your file does?

Hi. Sorry i guess i was a bit too fast to post.
The file is an installer for the windows pc.
Please make sure that usb drivers are installed at least. The phone must be switched off and then started in download mode by pressing volume up while inserting the cable.
The installed program will then check the phone and probably say that the phone is fine. But then you have to choose the "update recovery" option in the application.

Same exact thing happened to me as the OP. Tried following suljo94's steps and it is not working. I've installed, deleted and reinstalled the drivers about 5 different times and all of them install fine except for the Android MTP device driver. It fails every time, and the LG PC Suite won't recognize my phone. It's on download mode, it's up on the phone screen and everything. Tried unplugging it and replugging it from both phone and computer, pulling the battery, using a different USB cable. Nothing works. Uninstalled and reinstalled LG PC Suite too. I really would rather do it this way because I don't want to lose all of the stuff on my phone, but I've been trying to figure this out for 3 hours now and I need my phone. I am seriously at my last nerve before I say screw it and just use the LG Flash tool and wipe everything. Which I really don't want to do =[ Does anyone have any other suggestions to get the PC Suite working?

I didnt loose any of my data doing this procedure:
This solution helped me! I soft bricked my LG G3 D855 European version by changing a XML file for increasing highest allowed volume as the volume is very low on the LG G3 phone. It caught me in a boot loop and I found this thread.
This is what I did:
1. Removed battery and noted down the IMEI number of my phone.
2. Opened link: csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=XXX
(Where XXX is my IMEI number WITHOUT any dashes! -> Important or your link will fail). Link gave me a kdz file to download on about 1.2 GB.
3. Started phone in Download mode (Volume Up while inserting USB cable --> Note you need LG USB drivers installed).
4. Ran LG Flash tool and chosed my kdz file that I retrieved in step 2. Pressed START and ignored any warnings.
5. The phone downloaded the kdz file to phone and restarted twice.
All good!

What does not work?

Hard Bricked my device, can someone help?

I have been trying to get this thing upgraded to 5.0 for a day and half now, and i just flashed it for like the 10th time with lg flash tool to try to take it to stock. The rom i flashed that bricked the device I found in this thead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2698267
All of a sudden it won't turn on, won't respond to adb or enter recovery with the volume down + power combo.
All i can see in device manager is qhsusb with an exclamation point. I struggled to update this and once i finally did, the device still isn't recognized by the computer in any lg programs like mobile support tool or flash tool or by adb and wont turn on what can/should i do at this point??

So it won't enter download mode either? You didn't mention that one... If it does enter download mode you have several options, however based upon what you posted I'm guessing download mode is also not available?

I managed to find out that the phone is in something called bulk mode and even found a tool that gets lg phones out of bulk mode. The program located in this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/fix-unbrick-lg-g2-stuck-qualcomm-hs-usb-t2933830.
It has my chipset in it(The APQ8064) and can connect with the phone. It passes the first two tests (AP, and EMMC) and fails the SDRAM test. If i can figure how to fix the last test and make it succeed, the tablet won't be bricked anymore. Any ideas?

Had a quick look at that bulk mode thing. It seems to refer to a TOT file.
That TOT file seems to be in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2692505 and is still downloadable it seems. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B34qnFE3O_HbX2t6elg5UXZFNEk/edit)
Looking further at that unbrick thread it seems that SDRAM is checked in step 4 . Where do you get stuck?

Well my phone doesn't work with that program anymore. After running into the sdram error for so long i ended up scanning that thread and running across QPST, which is the qualcomm manufacturer tool for flashing phones/tablets with Qualcomm. , which placed my phone into download mode for QPST.
I believe i can fix it using the process listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/wip-unbricking-nexus-4-using-qpst-t2208289
However i need the correct hex and mbn files, which are generated from the 4.4.2 tot file for my gpad. The annoying part is this has to be done in linux. The guide i found of how to make the correct files is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/wip-unbricking-nexus-4-using-qpst-t2208289 ,
Except i don't know how to work linux and that is just a little too complicated for me. If you have linux and can attempt to help me build the correct files that would be great. Unless i can somehow run a loopback mount command on windows like it mentions, i'm stuck

Your boot loader is broken. Gonna have to get to the down load mode and reinstall either the or the stock. You can probably flash the recovery with .IMG file with lg flashing tool. Nerdy blond's twrp is one of those files that you can use. You can even try installing it first with the adb shell command, you can get the instructions at the same place where you download.

Thank you for replying.
I cannot do anythings since I cannot enter into download mode.
I pressed volume key + and - and insert the usb cable to computer. There is nothing happened, computer dose not show the devices attached and the phone stay in the LG logo screen.
Also, I cannot use adb commands to force the phone enters into download mode as it shows nothings under "List of devices".
Is there any methods I can go into the download mode???
Thank you!

If your phone shows LG start screen, it should go into Download mode. I had similar problem few days ago while I was testing some kernel patches, it just froze on the LG screen. Solution was to unplug it, remove it's battery, SIM & SD (you don't have to remove SIM & SD, I just work that way) , make sure it's off, return battery back, press Vol + & Vol - at the same time and plug-in the USB cable.
Before that, make sure you have installed LG Unified driver (can be obtained via LG's software from support site), because without that Windows won't recognise your device.
After that, once you make your phone usable with Freegee/whatever you use to install initial recovery, flash official TWRP, because others are too old - that Philz CWM is old but still working with Lollipop but not work good and is tends to lock itself into a bootloop if you use hardware keys to enter; that other one, from GPRO_recovery APK is not supported and not working well (for me since day one), so it should be replaced as soon as possible.
Also, I can suggest you to flash your phone from stock 4.1 (not KitKat), root, flash recovery via freegee and after reboot update to latest official TWRP via Flashify.

Thank you for your detail reply.
I have tried to reinstall the LG driver and try to enter download mode again.
The screen is still stuck on LG logo and I cannot find the device in hardware manager (cannot recognize it).
I cannot do anythings until it can recognize it.
(Is it the bootloader is broken? and can I fix it?)
Thank you very much and waiting for your reply soon.:good:

Which version of Windows are you using? It should be displayed under Serial ports in Device manager (named something like LGE Serial device) and LGFlashTool should recognise it immediately. I can't make you a screenshot/check for real name because I'm running Linux right now and can't reboot.
Also, try with another cable/port, remove all other android drivers you may have (Samsung's, Google's...) and disable antivirus.

OK, it doesn't enter download mode. So, step by step:
- remove battery and leave it for 15-30 seconds, return battery
- press Vol+ and Vol- at the same time and keep them pressed,
- plug USB cable in while keys are pressed
It should immediately put you into download mode, with no LG screen, just black screen with gray box and red text I've described to you.

So, whatever you try to do, phone just shows LG logo, not even a message in an upper left corner?
I'm running out of ideas. I have exact same variant (E988) but only time it didn't want to enter download mode this way was when cable I was using was broken...
