Download flashtool and download a FTF image for your phone...
Instead of holding volume up when you plug in your phone, hold volume down which will put you in flash mode... then you can flash an image back on your device.
With a locked boot loader, you can't run any non-sony kernel...

[Q] [HELP] Phone Soft Bricked, no tool working

Well, let me explain what happens...
I have an LG Optimus G, which I've rooted. I wanted to install CWM, but I didn't read at the tutorial that this wouldn't work with the bootloader locked. I restarted the phone and it tells me a "Secure Booting Error".
I can access Download Mode, and there I've tried the LG Mobile Support Tool, which always tells me that "Battery is low". I've tried unplugging the battery, but the same. If I could bypass this error, probably I could have again my phone alive. I tried using also the FlashTool, but it says the kdz is corrupt (>1GB) and when doing a test upgrade, it shows again the battery trouble.
What should I do? Shall I buy a new battery? Or is there any other method to bypass this message?
Thanks for your time and your patience.

try to search how to use LGPNST. it saved my bricked LGOG. HTH

I can't enter into download mode. Whatever key combination i tries to enter download mode or fastboot mode or normal boot it just show me a error:
Secure boot error
==============
Cause: Device Unlock, So boot success
and Goes into recovery mode where i could not select any flashable zip files to flash. There's another error: E:/ Can't mound sdcard.
Cant mount data..
Anybody knows how to solve this?

It's not just a key combination... To enter download mode, you should turn off your phone (hold Power for >15 sec), then hold both Volume buttons and connect the phone by a USB cable to your computer. Is this exactly what you are doing? And it's not working?

So i think you should flash original KDZ for your LG variant, and from clean rom start flashing custom roms.
PS.: Sorry its one month but i couldnt write before, i hope you have resolved problem, or i helped rit now.

[Q] Download mode error, firmware update freeze, need help

I want to return my phone back to stock and/or directly update to ZVE. I'm currently on ZVA and I'm rooted. When I go to download mode, a screen appears saying firmware update and it stays frozen on 0% until I hold the power button down to restart the phone. It also says B84 and "Rooted" in red. I have TWRP recovery and I can get into it just fine. I can also get into the hard factory reset too. Can anybody help me get this problem sorted? Thanks in advance.

When you first go into download mode it has à smaller download bar like it is initializing. Then it goes to the actual download mode. If the screen never come off smaller download bar. Then download mode is broken.
Check to make sure you are on correct com port 41.

If my download mode is broken, how do I fix it?

You would need to fix the laf partition. Or if you still have a backup. Recover and use auto-rec. This does all the necessary and fixes download.

Remove your battery and put it back. Now don't turn on phone. Press volume up button and hold it. While holding volume up button connect your phone to the pc and look if download mode stars.

did exactly what u said ,screen wasnt on but got an vibration....thats it ,no download mode logo or screen on

Did you try to enter recovery? Pull out battery pull in again and press volume down and power button. If LG logo appears or you got vibration release buttons and press again same buttons. I hope this works or you need to send your phone to warranty

I'm glad that you got your phone back. My succession is that don't use Marshmallow Autorec. It's buggy I guess. Just root and install recovery on Kitkat with Kitkat Autorec and then flash Marshmallow ROM in development section.

Samsung tab 3 10.1 GT- 5210 stock firmware issue

Hi all,
I’m having an issue with a Samsung tab 3 10.1 and done help would be much appreciated. I have tried to follow done guides but haven’t been that successful.
I have purchased a tab that is stuck in mgm/retail mode and the seller is no longer getting back to me to return it.
I believe that is a way to use Odin and flash the device in download mode.
The problem I have is finding the file to do this with? A point in the right direction would be much appreciated

This ROM is in a format supported by TWRP.
So you could in short:
- install TWRP using ODIN https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...covery-twrp-3-x-samsung-galaxy-tab-3-t3340938
- install ROM using TWRP, you can install stock or custom ROM
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...om-100-stock-4-4-2-kitkat-p5210-wifi-t2848279
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/development-10/rom-lineageos-14-1-t3587761
I found another site with roms https://samsung-firmware.org/pl/model/GT-P5210/, maybe here will be the ROM in format supported by ODIN.
Did reflash the device to factory settings help?

Ok so i've tried to install TWRP using Odin - No Joy
So now i'm unsure where to go from here as i cant put TWRP on the device to install the ROM?
No the flash did not reset to factory settings, this is the trouble im having no rom will flash the device, feel like banging my head against a wall.

Which guide did you follow? I am asking becouse it should work, strange.
Steps in short:
- Enter download mode Volume Down + Home button + Power button.
- Start ODIN
- Flash TWRP
- Enter recovery mode Volume Up + Home button + Power button
- Flash ROM from zip
Or with ROM in ODIN compatible format:
- Enter download mode Volume Down + Home button + Power button.
- Start ODIN
- Flash ROM

Ok so I have done exactly that with two stock rims and I’m still having the same issue. Don’t know where to go from here. Could I root it, would that work?
