[Q] Update messed up G-Pad

I had stock installed, rooted and twrp install, I downloaded the update and now it only boots into twrp. So i tried factory reset and restoring a backup I had, still nothing. Just now I pressed advanced wipe everything except SD Card, now I have no OS And no backup to restore.
For some reason twrp doesn't recognise any micro sd card I put in, says it cant mount them.
I can't get adb working whilst in recovery. I just want to go back to stock.
Also holding down vol down and up to get into download mode doesn't work.
Thanks for any advice.

Got it into download mode now somehow (rebooting from twrp instead of cold boot) and downloading the stock firmware from LG mobile support tool.

1. Turn off the tablet. (from twrp menu )
2. Push vol+ and vol- same time.
3. Insert usb cable.
4. Release both buttons. Now you should be in download mode.

hi mike_1983, but have you solved with this method?

I was in same situation. And i solved installing stock room with LG Mobile Launcher.
Go in download mode, and then follow this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471370 is 100% working.

dont update the official rom if you re rooted or you have a custom recovery, they ll brick your tablet. If you have access to recovery you can install a custom rom and there is no need to go back to full stock (unless ofc you want to keep the stock rom in which case you need to flash it using the lg mobile support tool)

I think I did it by holding down vol up and vol down whilst in twrp, then pressing reboot, system (or perhaps pressing reboot system then holding them down). I'm not sure if the usb cable was plugged in or not. I tried holding down vol up and down from powered off, but it seemed to still always go into twrp.
Then you need B2CAppSetup.exe which is LGMobile Support Tool, you can then download the stock rom, it overwrites everything, like recovery and root.

Made the same mistake : said yes when the tablet proposed me to update. Booted in TWRP.
Tried to flash with support tool but it stops at 95% and tells me in german (!) to remove the battery and try again... I've tried many times (without removing the battery obviously), just the same.
And now I can't get out of the download mode. Everytime I plug the USB cable, it goes to download mode.
Any suggestion ?
EDIT :
I even tried this method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2622777
and it stops giving me a decompression error...
Edit 2 : it finally uncomressed corectly but i'm still stucked at 95% when installing : WPARAM_UPGRADE_ERROR
EDIT 3 :
Using the method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2622777 and leaving default parameters : Korean language and country it finaly worked with the V50010A_00.kdz firmware.
My lg g pad is finally booting ! (the battery is totally drained)

help with stock restore

ok I have a tmobile usa lg g4, I'm stock rooted but want to go back full unroot stock, I have the lg flash tool and the h81110h Kdz file, but my current ota version is h8110n with this help me to go back to stock or brick

Just as long as kdz file is intended for H811 it will be fine, final letter is software revision. (Eg: My H815 started on H815 v10a and is now on V10g)

thanks man........for answering my q's....
mods please delete or close thread

well I cant seem to get this meth to work....stays at checking pc it stays at 1% for 20 min, I start oer and end up at the same point...
I cant even use twrp to simply flash a stock rom, everytime I flashed or installed anything twrp just restarts and nothing, and now when I try to even get in to twrp I end up in fastboot mode....what the **** did I do to my phone...

Follow this: http://www.androidexplained.com/lg-g4-how-to-boot-into-download-mode/ and then when in downloade mode open lg tool as admin.
Select kdz and click on Normal flash, change language and region (in your case other country and English) Lg Tool should now process kdz and reset phone back to stock.
I'll be back on here @ 3pm GMT and see how you have got on

I thought it was better to use the CSE flash if you wanted to revert to full stock. I've never tried the Normal method; only had to flash CSE once haha

To get into recovery, just use
Code:
fastboot reboot-recovery
and the phone should, uh, reboot into recovery

follow the guide attached earlier to get download mode, you do not need apps just tools that guide states. I have used kdz method on my own H815 and it worked fine.

I didn't use the app so I don't know what did it, the only apps installed on phone out side of stock was supersu pro, tb, so I'm lost and it goes in trash....good thing I have backup nexus to use...
if indeed its the chip will lg/tmobile know its been rooted

not if it is corrupted because data is lost on partitions.

Have you tried putting your phone into Download Mode and doing a full flash of the KDZ for your variant? You just need to hold Vol_Up and plug phone into computer to boot into Download Mode.

if bootloader is unlock then try flashing twrp/CWM for htc 526g and try with custom roms
or try again with selecting Format All + Download in download section but it deletes your nvram also after flashing you to write your IMEI again hope it will work

need help to unbrick htc desire 526+
Hello xda community plz i need very serious help i rooted my htc desire 526+ with kingroot and then tried to flash twrp but now it stuck into boot loops when i try to go into recovery by holding vol up + power button nothing opening and boot loop is going on i can only access fastboot mode. Plese help:crying: its mt6592 ialso tried flashing stock rom with sp flash tool it shows BROM S DRAM error.... something

not flash bro

Stuck in fastboot. No recovery... no bueno :(

So I had my ze551ml / Z00A rooted, was loving life, all was great. Then I tried getting XPosed access and didn't read up on it prior. Anyways, now my phone is stuck in fastboot, I'm able to flash partitions and all, including recovery partition, yet I cannot enter any mode but the hung ASUS logo, or fastboot. I weas even able to load CM's "upgrade to MM bootloader" package, but still the same thing only with green letters where they once were blue..... Please help, I need my beloved phone back.....

I'm not a pro but if you can access fastboot it is just a soft brick and I'm sure many people can point you on the right thread to recover it.

I've scoured the depths of both XDA and the ASUS forums, and while I've gained much knowledge of how I can possibly fix it, nothing seems to work. I go to select "recovery mode" and it instantly just boots right back in to fastboot.....

Thanks -- you can install giovix`s modder tool from general section
Set it up , use`return to stock option` --in that option , first select boot , then after- recovery(both will be stock)
You then can either
A- Reboot to stock recovery ,adb Sideload stock M -- Follow on to B-( to back-up stock before flashing)
B- Unlock bootloader again , flash twrp and root (if twrp version in modder is now 3.0.3.M4 you can flash lineageos)
---------------------------------------------------------------(if twrp version in modder is still 3.0.2.1 M - you will have to flash 303M4 in fastboot or in 3021M twrp.
1) You might be able to, fastboot flash 3.0.3.M4 immediately and forget above A&B completely
For 303M4 recovery see lineageOS in original android development section OP for download link

So I've yet to try your solution, but I do have an update, I was able to, one by one, flash all the stock files (stock as in the stuff I downloaded from asus site) and was almost able to boot to recovery, but when I got to the red triangle android, I couldn't get it to go further. I've heardf alternate key combos for proceeding from there, and tried them all, but maybe I'm just an idiot...... I'll try the giovix solution when I've got time (patience).

Here's the thing. I'm super stubborn, and I think I know everything (cuz I do....) so of course I decided that I could figure something out, so I tried my way first............ didn't pan out.... anyway, I'm finding any time I flash a TWRP file, I have no access to recovery mode. Regardless if I do it manually through fastboot, or CM upgrade/downgrade or even the giovix fix (yes I tried it). My question is this, Where is there a return to stock option? of the giovix DLs I could find, I see a 'magisk root' 'TWRP' 'bootloader unlocker' and 'Xposed' tools, nothing else.... Am I missing something? or am I just skimming over that part?
I do appreciate all the help, seriously. Even if it seems like I'm not taking suggestions very well. It's moreso I don't have access to a computer most of the day, and it's not a huge priority since I went and bought a zfone 3 max a few days ago (decent phone for what it is....crazy battery life)

https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/tool-ze551mlmodder-t3458145
Functions:
1- Check connection status
2- Bootloader Unlocker
3- Flash TWRP 3.0.2-0 M1
4- Full-auto xposed flasher!
5- Full-auto root flasher!
5B- Full-auto root (Magisk+Phh's) compatible with 184!
6- ADB Shell
7- Return back to stock
8- Erase /system, /data and /cache for a clean upgrade
9 (HIDE)- Auto-reboot to bootloader
10- More functions inside!

well then forgive me for not downloading the correct option. I nowhere see this list among anything I downloaded, so maybe specify which is which ('full' or 'auto')....... I'm already downloading both of them again, because I'm not sure which I already had. But yea, one of the 2 only has the 4 options I mentioned.

So i finally see what you've been trying to tell me, and I returned everything back to stock, but I still have the same problem, recovery now loads but system wont boot up. I'll try loading the individual factory IMG files today, via fastboot, or should I use a zip file from Asus via recovery?

In stock recovery - choose update from adb -- adb sideload cmd is >
adb sideload MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip
Put .134 M asus firmware in adb/fastboot folder first rename it to MOFD_SDUPDATE(without zip) before this cmd above and then open up adb and type it in and hit enter.
Just in case you are trying different methods (see if this works )

I'll try it today. Last I checked it was hanging at the ”! Android” screen. But then again I'm not sure I know the combo to get passed that screen, I know it's either power and + or power and - but my only success I got into by button mashing all three keys rapidly, so, yea, I know, I'm am idiot.

EDIT"""" because i got it wrong too , i dont even think about , i just do it
It`s ->
From powered off position
Press Power and Vol +
at two vibes, release power
at boot up screen ,release vol+
in bootloader ,scroll vol up or down to and then select(press power) at recovery selection.
At dead android guy -> press vol + and power for 4 seconds -> release Vol +
You should be in recovery.

i am replying in this post since i have a similar problem, and I am as stubborn as OP. Me posting here is a big step in acknowledging my defeat at last. Hours of digging through the internet didn't solve my problem
I have changed my ifwi and dnx more times than i can remember. (my clean slate is mostly using xFSTK downloader with xFSTK_ZE551ML-sal358-amtech.vn files)
Using the above mentioned method (giovix`s modder tool) to go back to stock i still boot into fastboot, not recovery mode.
trying to unlock bootloader it says on the phone "unlock fail"
Using asus flash tool with raw files i get "gpt command failed"
Using a manual method i get the "gpt command failed" on the "6. fastboot oem partition /tmp/partition.tbl" step
in my opinion as soon as i get some kind of recovery my problems are solved. But have been working four hours on this problem with all possible solutions i could think of, nothing but frustration.
info: current ifwi 0094.0183 (wich should be M)
serial 01234........EF
and using the toolkit on "https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/bl-unlock-ze551ml-toolkit-t3546293" i found out my device firmware version is 198 (wich is probably not good in combo with the ifwi)
little update in a certain config (android 5 / ifwi 0094.177 / stock recovery) i can boot up untill the dead android icon, but with whatever key combo can't get past it... (vol up + power) / (vol down + power)
fastboot flash boot recovery.img (yep i am really desperate to get into recovery) doesn't even give me the dead android.
thank you beforehand!

Last paragraph with android 5 ifwi 0094.0177
Is your serial correct ?
Press vol + once is it correct?, if not you will have to xfstk first again and flash raw (twice) with temp bootloader 0094.1069
See my unbrick video for help

First of all, thank you very much for your reply!
I was not very specific there, the android 5 is not the rom (still wasnt able to flash the rom) its only the files like droidboot, ifwi, dnx, .... that i got form lolipop.
Indeed the serial is still 1234........EF (so not the correct one)
I do understand i have to flash the raw twice to get the correct serial, but flashing raw doesn't work. I get "gpt command failed" every time. (so the point where i have to restart flashtool is not even reached). Also if i try to do it manualy.
I watched your video (thanks it was my first steps into understanding how it all worked) but unfortunatly didn't work for me.
Any other ideas?

Did you get this device in this condition ?
If not, what happened so that you lost serial ?
Anyway , i have never tried this because i have ALWAYS succeeded flashing raw (twice) to correct serial BUT it may work for you.( i am not sure you have a device that can have the serial corrected due to whether its been tampered with previous ) which affects recovery and IMEI.
Usually , xFSTK is used to install temp bootloader - Its supposed to be the lowest level form of unbricking procedure and restores temp bootloader so you can fastboot after-- flashing raw in fastboot via AFT(twice) restores serial -- 1st flash approx 3mins is with incorrect serial and temp bootloader.
After a couple of mins, cmds on phone pauses on RESULT=OK on phone.
You close AFT and open AFT again , input raw and set AFT up -- press Vol+ on phone -> once, serial will be corrected and 2nd flash can be started and left until it boots into android 5 by itself.
If GPT trouble , that link may help.
There is other programmes for starting to create serial and restoring .
Usually people who use these , have to dig deep into buildprop stuff which if tampered with can end up with problem such that you have.
Good luck
see if anything here helps

[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL][TWRP] For Sony Xperia T3 D5103 (seagull)

Hi guys, I decided to start modding this smartphone, now that I have a computer capable of compiling in a few hours.
I ported TWRP 3.0, based on Omni 6.0 source to this device. There are a few things not working and I need other people's help and feedback.
READ FULL GUIDE AND NOTES BEFORE FLASHING!!!
-Necessary steps:
Unlock bootloader. Here's a guide from Sony
-How to install:
1)From computer, open a terminal (Linux and MacOS) or command prompt (Windows) where you saved the file (download below). (Linux And MacOS. On Linux you'll need to flash with sudo) or where you have the platform-tools (Windows)
2)Poweroff your phone.
3)Boot into bootloader by pressing Volume+ button while connecting the usb cable into the usb port (the usb cable has to be inserted into the computer's port too, to successfully boot into fastboot)
4)With unlocked bootloader, type fastboot flash recovery twrp_3.0.2-0-seagull-UNOFFICIAL.img, if you renamed the files, substitube "twrp_3.0.2-0-seagull-UNOFFICIAL.img" with your file name or the directory where you saved the file.
5)When you see the OK message from fastboot, disconnect your phone.
6)Press Power, Volume+ and Volume- untile the phone vibrates.
7)Release Volume+ key. When you see the Sony logo appear, wait 3-4 seconds and then release Power button.
8)You should see TWRP bootscreen after a few seconds
-What's working:
Almost all. I could succesfully flash GApps and Root packages from this recovery, Backup, Restore and Wipe partitions. Settings work fine. Terminal and File manager work.
-What's NOT working:
Can't read files MicroSD or USB-OTG, can't browse in them and can't wipe. Investigating about it.
-Download:
(GDrive) Version 3.0.2-1
(AFH) Version 3.0.2-1
-Source and guide to build:
https://github.com/EmaMaker/device-sony-seagull/tree/twrp-3.0
Changelog:
30/04/2018: I think I fixed the screen problem by using the Lollipop kernel instead of the Marshmellow one
Thanks Everyone

Cool, although upon booting into recovery the screen isn't operating normally, similar to what happens when flashing the fxp lollipop. Might be because I'm on stock ROM/kernel though.

What do you mean with "isn't operating normally"? The screen only displays coloured bands? If so, it should have be fixed, maybe only the download link is wrong. Tell me, I'll fix in a minute

Yes, sorry for not being more specific xD, I'm indeed getting the white-grey bands on screen.

It's possible it's the lollipop kernel that's to blame, since I've had the same problem with other lollipop builds.

Fixed
Download link fixed with working version

Will try it and report back ?

Tried the updated one, still no luck. It could be just my device though.

Try the one from AFH. I really don't know why. The 3.0.2-1 version works on both my two seagulls

Tried both versions, so it's probably my device.
(However, if it is it's fine, since I do have working twrp.)

Does this build require an updated bootloader to allow access to the "recovery" partition?
I've got a T3 with a successfully unlocked bootloader, but fastboot gives an error (something about a missing partition table) when I try flashing anything to recovery.
Google tells me that Sony released an updated bootloader some time ago which ought to make a recovery partition available, but I cannot find any active links or instructions for downloading and installing it anywhere,

Don't know

One of my two seagulls came back from assistance and I tried to flash TWRP on it without any problems. I don't know if it had an updated bootloader or what, but the firmware was stock

In order to flash recovery, you first need to download and install the Emma flashtool and restore your phone through it. That will add a recovery partition so you can flash twrp. (The Emma flash tool supports only the D5103 model of the T3 as far as I know)

I tink you will have the same as the eagle (m2) device, you need to update your bootloader and then flash recovery...

Hi
I'm playing with my old Xperia T3 recently and I was able to unlock bootloader and install your TWRP on my device. I'm able to boot into recovery with the method you described. But since my power buton is in a quite bad condition, I'm looking for another way to boot into twrp. I rooted my Xperia with Magisk and I tried to enter recovery from it, but the phone just rebooted. The same happend when I tried to enter recovery from terminal. What can be the cause? Is there any other reliable way to boot into your twrp?
Cheers

Maybe you can try by holding down the volume down button when rebooting, it may work.
In other case, I think the only option is fixing the button
Best regards
