Hey guys,
glad to say that ive been able to debrick my phone like 5 times in a row successfully which is a weight off my shoulders.
however, once im debricked, rooted, cwm installed, and all .img's pushed i try to flash a custom rom. i've tried every one and i get bootloops every time... they seem to install just fine. very normal timing and everything, no errors. any ideas?
Don't format /data. Are you doing that? Link the steps you're taking when you are in cwm to flash over the rom. Maybe something is amiss.
nope not formatting data. ive been doing wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and format /system.
Man I was in the same boat as you but was finally able to get it sorted this morning. What I highly, highly recommend is starting as fresh and as clean as you possibly can. That is before you do CWM or anything like that restore your phone with the Korean kdz, push all the images (system being last) then make sure you have a bootable, working phone. Also I would recommend using different/new/fresh .img files...I downloaded ones from the unbricking thread and only used a copy of my baseband.img. I had a feeling one of my files wasn't quite right so starting with all new ones may have helped.
Don't try anything from a backup or do a restore or anything-start fresh and make sure everything works as it should. From there do CWM and then do your ROMS. I know you're almost there and its a headache to keep starting from the bottom but do it all one step at a time, in order and you will find success.
Good luck!
good call. i havent been pushing all the .img's. just the three he mentioned above. let me try this for the 80th time. ill let you know how it goes. just curious, do you use the v10f or v10i kdz?
Are the ROMs installing in less than 30 seconds or 2-5 minutes? If its less than 30 seconds, you need to flash it again.
If i was you i would install the new CWM, once it installs the new CWM it'll work.

I'm not sure you understand bro, there is a NEW UPDATE
Update your CWM and it'll fix this issue.
I had the same problem for awhile. Had to use the Unbricker:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412367
Followed ALL instructions, including "Restoring Nitro HD partition images" before flashing CWM. After that, no more bootloops and installed Revolutions rom w/out issue. Reboots just fine after.
I used the V10i-the direct download from LG...I think all the other recommendations are spot on but first and foremost get everything squared away with a fresh install of the kdz, all the images (in the proper order), the new version of CWM and then your rom of choice...Hope you're making some progress!
I'm on the new CWM and still have a loop if I reboot. Then I need to restore from CWM to get going again.
The soft brick boot loop I got was caused solely by format /system. I did not format /data.
I went through the whole deal last night and this morning and was able to get a fresh start on everything and am now running the HD ROM and haven't had a boot loop since I got everything back up and running...
I really think starting with the freshest install and making sure everything is functional step by step is where you'll be able to get through all that mess...just stay away from and restores or using any .img files that may have any software glitches as you'll get back to square one every time.
Hope you get it sorted out!
nah bro, i had the new update. no worries tho i pushed all the images in the debrick and fixed it. thanks for all the help guys B)
Tight work-glad you were able to get it straight! Now once you get it where you want make a new backup with Nandroid and CWM and you'll be golden in case anything else happens.
Hi all,
I'm in a boot loop too, so may I ask you guys a stupid question:
How to restore the previous system.img?
Thanks

Go look at the thread "[Solved] Unbricking solution...". Follow it to the T, however, i'd recommend using v10i.kdz rather than v10f.kdz. Definitely try the f version first but if it doesn't work try i. That's what I did. Basically what you're going to want to do is:
1. Restore the phone to a korean image using the v10i (or f) file and the LG software provided and referenced in the unblocking thread.
2. Once booted, root the phone. (specific instructions for v10i are in a thread somewhere linked by [email protected] v10f use either SuperOneClick root or DoomLord v4. Make sure you have adb installed for doomlord.
3. Once rooted use adb to push over stock .img files in this order: boot, recovery, firmware, baseband, system.
4. after the files are pushed boot into phone and root again (optional).
5. Install CWM5 through adb or terminal emulator.
Good luck, let me know if you have any questions and I can go into more detail.
I got my Nexus 7 (2nd Gen 2013) in the mail the 2nd day it came out from Futureshop and I loved it! I think its the best tablet in the world! :laugh: :good: Since all of my other Android Devices are rooted, I decided that it is a must to have a custom rom and root on my Nexus 7. So today, I rooted it and all went well, but when I wanted to download the Custom ROM Paranoid Android, it downloaded, it booted up, but then when it asked to select my language, I selected English then all of a sudden, it said "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped." :crying: :crying: I was so scared then I tried again and again but nothing worked. So I never made a backup when I was supposed to. I was too excited that I FORGOT. Then I booted into Recovery Mode and wiped and went to factory settings. But when I rebooted, it wouldnt reboot into anything! :crying: :crying: All it did was show a black screen. I was scared! I tried everything! But luckily, I can still boot into recovery mode and fastboot! PLEASE HELP ME! :crying: :crying: I WANT TO USE MY NEXUS 7 SO BADLY!!

Did you factory reset, wipe system & cache before installing the ROM?
If the ROM file is still in your tablet storage then perform the 3 wipes. After that flash the ROM.

It's nothing to panic about. The factory image package was recently released so you can use that to return to stock with Fastboot if you want.

If you got no backup, then the only thing left is flash factory image. Root it up normally and do a backup. After that flash the ROM.

So i was on the G2 apps added E988 ROM version 5.5 for a long time then i decided to switch and try a new rom out, I ended up switching to the Candykat rom. I want to switch back to the v 5.5 but for some reason everytime i try it just gets stuck and wont boot up so i have to manually go back into cwm and choose a different rom. Does anyone know why? would i have to go back to stock first then re-root and go to that rom? I just dont wanna have to go through all that if there is an easier way, thank you.

Hmm, could be a bad backup. Or could be a problem with the recovery.
Have you tried restoring without data? And if that works you could always restore data in other ways.

It isn't a backup, its just the ROM itself that I am trying to go back to, I've re downloaded the ROM thinking maybe the file got messed up but it didn't work still. :/

Thanks for trying to help, hopefully I can find something soon.
CandyKat is based on the E980, while the G2 rom is based on the E988, which has fiff kernel config/modem basebands. So logically the best way to go back to v5.5 would be to reflash the factory stock E988 image, with kernel and baseband already included, then flash v5.5.

Sure, go to this link, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438088. I recommend that you download a kdz file of your chosen country of origin, then afterwards follow the KDZ guide within this link, http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2432476 (also provided on the 1st link) courtesy of Hyelton. Then on the guide, best way to proceed is using method 1 (Authomatic VBS script).
Once you master the art of flashing via KDZ method it would only take within 10 minutes to flash stock kdz files, very convenient, especially when softbricks occur.
After you successfully install the stock E988 kdz file, you may opt to root using towelroot by following this link, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785465 (just install towelroot app, open it, click and you're good to go). After rooting, install cwm 6.0.4.5 via this app:https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resi...DB2BC3A6!107 .Then install the recovery using the app then reboot
Next, install Busybox from the playstore, then afterwards, install Freegee. Once on freegee, You can install cwm 6.0.4.7 or twrp successfully.
Then from there flash your rom. Instructions sound tedious but once you get used to it you're good to go in minutes

okay, that all makes sense, but a couple questions, what is kdz? and also when i do this and go back to stock will i be looing my pictures and other files from internal storage or is that safe?
So I use to be familiar with flashing, unlocking, & rooting my Droid 2 Global, & my Nexus 7. And while I did successfully temp-root my note 4 a while ago, I have since fallen out of the whole procedure and have a plain old stock 'n locked note 4 that I would like to Flash EmotionOS on it.
I remember bits and pieces, but not the correct order and how exactly I flash a ROM to my note 4, would anyone be able to give me a few pointers on what order I need to do what in, and possibly what the best method(s) would be so that I can flash EmotionOS onto my note 4?
I am using this XDA guide as my current reference for EmotionOS
Thank you in advance

First, you'll need to root your device on stock 5.1.1 BPA1, this guide is fairly easy to follow. Then you'll need to upgrade to 6.0.1 CPD1 and root that too, using this guide. Then you'll need to flash the partial CPJ2 firmware also found here, before you can then flash EmotionOS.
Rooting the note 4 is a lot more work. I loved my note 3 and being able to do it with an app. "Towelroot" it made life so simple. Lol.

I'm on 5.0.1
Looks like I need to update..
Its just so time consuming its a daunting task.
I'm happy for now but may take a peek at emotion.
Nope, I'm not signing up for issues. The first page talks of re boots, no SMS service, no phone service I'll stick with the sure thing my phone is working I'll be at sometimes laggy but that's probably an overload issue with my apps

ok, so I was able to load 5.1.1, root w/KingoRoot, enable dev mode, install TWRP 3.0.2, & reload 5.1.1, but now I'm stuck in a bootloop.
when I first loaded 5.1.1 stock w/o TWRP, I was able to get out of the bootloop by wiping the system and cache and it loaded fine, but now when I try to wipe the cache with TWRP it gets stuck in the bootloop.
How do I get out of the loop with TWRP?

Pull the battery and SD card, wait for like 30 seconds, then put only the battery back in. Boot into TWRP, pop the SD card back in, use the Advanced Wipe to wipe the SD card and cache, then reboot. If you don't want to wipe your SD, then don't put it back in.

okay, I think I may have lost root after the 5.1.1 reload, in that case I'll start over.
Is there a simple way to get the recovery.tar file so I can remove TWRP, or is there an alternative method without having to remove TWRP?

well currently TWRP is what is preventing me from booting the phone, I didnt know if there was an alternate method to "re-doing" the guide without having to start from the very beginning. So long as I have TWRP installed, I can't seem to progress past the second bootloop.
Also Kies 3 is telling me it no longer supports the note 4 because of SmartSwitch (which is not currently installed on my PC) being capable of managing my note 4 now. Not really a huge deal now that I'm downloading the stock 5.1.1 from SamMobile, but that notice struck me as odd that Kies wont touch my note 4, even before all this happened.

No, you need a sd in for the bootloader unlock process. Wipe it, unlock, wipe it, unlock. And wipe it with diskpart. TWRP doesn't properly wipe the card, and will result in a bootloop.
So after multiple attempts and flashes trying to get past bootlooping at the same point, I'm going to take a break from installing emotionOS for a bit, mainly because I havent been able to use wifi now for some reason. at this point im more concerned about getting wifi back.
I've tried flashing numerous times to 5.1.1, factory reset and wiping cache, and after I get my phone back to normal, I try turning on WiFi in the settings and it stalls, it waits for about 5 minutes and then shuts back off, never actually enabling wifi. Please Advise?
Hi guys..!
I'm wondering if this thread is to help about my issue. Please, let me talk about it: I have a samsung note4 sm-n910v in soft brick condition (I think), and was trying to flash it with Odin by 3 different ways: 1- flashing stock firmware 5.0.1 (N910VVRU2BOF1_N910VVZW2BOF1_N910VVRU2BOF1_HOME.tar), 2- flashing with factory binary file (COMBINATION_VZW_FA44_N910VVRU2APB1_VZW2APB1_2932719_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar), and 3- flashing with partial firmware (N910VVRU2BOF1_PartialFirmware.tar). For by 3 ways, my phone is stuck (I can not access to call or text messages). If needs more details, please, let me know. Please, could anybody help me? I'm stuck in explained situation.
Good news update about my issue..! I did a good flashing by Odin few hours ago, just with a repair firmware file for my N910V Note4..!
