Do you have acces to TWRP?? if answer is YES, then you can boot into it and use ADB commands on your computer to replace the file for the previous one.
If you can't use TWRP then you must use PC Suite and use recovery from error upgrades, this will flash your phone with your stock rom but won't gonna wipe your data so it's safe.

thanks guys! used the pc suit and solved the problem! thanks

I ran into the same issue. Phone is stuck in a bootloop. What is the process exactly? Since its in a bootloop my computer and my phone don't link. So I cant even get to factory reset. What do I do?

I ran into the same issue trying to increase my speaker volume and encountered a bootloop after a reboot.
I used LG PC Suite to recover but I was never able to connect properly, even with all LG USB drivers installed.
I resorted into flashing a stock firmware (10h) using the LG Flashtool and I was able to use my phone once more, but from a fresh install.
I will stay away from any sound mods until there is a permanent recovery I can install on my LG G3 D855

Try turning on your device on download mode before connecting to pc. You can follow pc suite or what @jtambis6 suggest. I recommend to try pc suite first.

[Q] Xperia S turned into Xperia SL?! Can't use Fastboot

hey guys
2 days ago i flashed this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263625
after flash my Phone constantly restarts and i can't make Phone calls. By that i mean: i can pick up the calls but the other side can't hear me and i can't hear anything too. I even can't hear the voicemail.
So i decided to wipe dalvik cache and factory reset via CWM. I realized that CWM didn't work. i just can't get into recovery.
When i came home i tried to connect my Phone to my laptop but that didn't work neither. i can not acces my Phone using USB.
my laptop tried to install drivers but that didn't work. so what i see is that my laptop cannot recognize my Phone, pc companion could neither.
i've read the ROM thread again and i saw that there are to versions: UB & LB. i installed the UB on my xperia S and now model name says LT26ii.
And after that i saw one more thing: before flashing this ROM i had to flash the kernel first. i was so stupid because i didn't read everyhting.
and then i tried to flash this kernel via fastboot but i cannot get into fastboot. when i hold VOLUME UP and plug usb cable, i see the blue led, when i pull off the led goes out and my Phone restarts.
i don't know what to do
can anyone please help?? :crying:
thanks in advance!
try this
So im asuming that your Xperia S didnt flash properly , i suggest you re-install your FW
Method 1
Use flashtool to flash a STOCK FTF (do not forget to wipe Everything) (FTF can be found on XDA file server(Google it)
method 2
use a revovery to RE-install your STOCK ROM (if you dont have one there is plenty on XDA)
method 3
if all methods above dont work then try sending your xperia s for repairs or find your local super nerd

ok, so your phone can still boot??
calm down, i install this rom too and it is ok
could u still transfer file between your laptop and the XS??
if u can, plz download the trinity ultimate kernel first and flash it
and kernel is usually not flashed with fastboot, but flash with recovery
cant get into CWM?? hmm, is it possible for u to install it again??
maybe u need to try another computer if u experience the adb error (yeah, my pc has that error sometimes)

I had the same problem once, and I had to install Xperia Arc's fastboot drivers so my phone would stay on fastboot.
Here are the ones I used, you have to manually install them.
you've chosec the wrong options in aroma
it's so simple
just reflash the rom and make sure this time you don't choose xperia sl

Go to Control Panel > System > Device Manager
When you connect the phone through fastboot, something should appear, right click > properties > update driver > search driver software on computer.
Well, this is the path por Windows 7...

[Q] Secure Booting Error problem ("Device UnLock!!, so Boot Success!!")

Hey everyone. Out of pure desperation, this is my first post here because I'm absolutely at a loss of what to do.
So I first rooted my Optimus G Pro with Super One Click, then used FreeGee to get CWM Recovery on there, which I heard unlocks the bootloader, too. I then tried to flash the CyanogenMod ROM on this forum, and didn't have any "errors" during install. After this, however, when I rebooted, I was simply met with the "Secure Booting Error: Device UnLock!! so Boot Success!!" message.
I can access CWM-based Recovery 6.0.3.3 still, but can't find a way to put files onto my SD card now. Any ideas? Can I fix this error? Should I just reinstall stock? If so, where do I get it, and how can I put it onto my SD card?
I'd really appreciate any help, guys. Also, if you for sure have a way to get CWMRecovery to boot up, I seem to only get it going with luck.
Thanks for any help or input, guys. I'm pretty distraught, especially since this phone is so new.

Try to wipe/factory reset/cache/dalvik and if it doesnt boot and you didnt make any backup from stock rom before cm installation you have to reinstall the stock firmware again

So I've decided I'm okay with going back to Stock Rom for now. If I can't access the phone via USB (at least from my computer) what choices do I have? I'm looking in sideloading. Does that seem pretty alright?
You are supposed to get that secure boot error message when u unlock bootloader and when u flash cm10.1 or any 4.2 rom your SD card becomes a file called 0. It can be accessed in a file manager that has root access and it will b in a mnt. folder. It takes a while for cm to boot so after the lg logo it should b around 5 minutes of black screen.

Okay, so I guess I'm not worried about the boot error message anymore, but I can't seem to get anything to happen. I get the LG logo with the error message, then nothing. I waited about 8 minutes before to no luck. I DID see the CyanogenMod logo once or twice, but it just stalled and didn't do anything. I'm thinking it's a battery thing, but in this state, I can't seem to find a way to charge it.
I did a few different methods of trying to reinstall stock rom (since I'm thinkin now I'll just wait until an official release of CM is available). For the LG Flash Tools version, it's saying my BIN doesn't match with my DLL or something (I'll be more specific when I have a chance). When I do the R&D Test Tool, it says my battery doesn't have enough charge to go through with the update (which is what's making me think my battery is gone).
Right now I have my phone plugged into a wall outlet with CWMRecovery open, because I read somewhere that you can charge your phone that way if you need to.
I'm kind of at a loss, guys. Any specific ideas or help?
I understand that this error is normal as it should be: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45094932&postcount=148
Hey everyone! I have a little problem: When I reboot my phone I can not go into cwm... I have an Optimus G Pro with cm10.2. cm10.2 works fine, but i have no change going into recovery mode... When I reboot into recovery there is a lying android figure. What can I do?

faced the same issue a while back.......... I had to flash back to stock, reroot and install lokified cwm from freegee. But while doing so, do not disable LG security. After that, I can access recovery normally. BYW, this happened when I flashed 4.3 based rom from a non-loki supported cwm.
Hope this helps...... BTW I am using E988.

Hello,
I have the same problem with the optimus f120k
When I attempt to reboot show the message:
secure booting error
cause: boot certification verify
Can I recover the phone?
Can I access the phone?
I'd really appreciate any help
Tanks
Hi I rooted the phone, then install the FreeGee , and always start the phone in recovery mode! what can I do for that start with the system normally and not the recovery???
Thank you!
I suspect that FreeGee does something wrong to our devices!
I tried EVRYTHING but still stuck on CWM
E988
same error on F240K E988
Is there any solution for that?
You must flash it back with lg flashtool

That message only says that the bootloader is "unlocked." If it didn't say Boot Success then you'd have a problem. After a fresh flash it takes a few minutes before the phone is usable.

Yes, after the bootloop problem, I have flashed back with lg flashtool, but i hope will be a solution for that bootloop problem...
LG E-989
reflashing a recovery fixed my recovery bootloop
was using philz_touch_6.15.4-e980 when this happened and I'm not sure if reflashing the same recovery would have fixed it
I had TWRP-2.6.1.0-E980-LOKIFIED-E986HACKED.zip on sd from here so I flashed it and restarted recovery again but after that it booted normally

For real? DO NONE OF YOU KNOW HOW TO SEARCH?!?!??!?!? There are 2 threads I created, one in general. One in Q&A. Read through those. There was no need for you to flash back to complete stock. I guess that's what y'all get for not searching (@@)

[Q] F180L - deleted all firmware, system, data. stuck on bootlock

Please help, I accidentally deleted system, firmware, data and sdcard and now stuck on bootlock keeps rebooting and possibly soft bricked?
Status: fastboot, unlocked, secureboot, CWRM recovery
I can still access fastboot, recovery and download mode. + I have backup on my desktop but I can't put it back - device not found - won't recognize usb storage, how can I adb push if device can't be detected?
Tried updating again with different firmwares but I always receive error phone disconnected etc, tried reattaching again still same problem persists.
Tried tinybin + lgnpst but I get error failed switching to diag mode, but I don't think I need to because I can access recovery mode and download mode anyway but I can't access internal sd card so I
I was trying to update the firmware but it wouldn't work, tried over 30 times... on different operating systems, windows 8, windows 7, and windows SP3 via virtual machines. tried kdz updater and uptest from flashtool with different kdz firmwares. so I tried doing a full factory reset, still wouldn't flash so I tried deleting the all mounted folders on CWRM recovery mode and now stuck on bootlock.
Possibly driver problems? I think I can push files with adb sideload but it can't detect my device or I'm doing it wrong... sorry I'm new to this adb thingy.
Anyone?
Many thanks for reading...

hey I did what you told me to do, and TWRP now works. Now what? it says no OS installed on reboot menu. Removable disk is shown but cannot be accessed. What do I do now?? Thx again!
Recap, device now gets detected by adb and fastboot, but I don't think I can restore the backup I made using CWRM, and when I tried to make a backup using TWRP and then went to restore it shows nothing but if I check file manager it's there.
Partitions on TWRP
Boot 24MB
Recovery 24MB
System 34MB
Data 0MB
Cache 13MB
EFS 2MB
I have backup for CWRM 1.6GB in size with system.ext4, data.ext4, nandroid, recovery and boot img. SBF backup made from rom manager and efs backup.
What to do now?
adb push the 1.6GB backup then install CWRM then restore it?
flash custom rom like CM 10.2 - 4.3 and gapps 4.3?
I don' want to turn my soft brick into hard brick.

Yee because it is in CWM format that's why.. adb push the ur backup using twrp.. replace twrp with cwm and restore or if not just flash a stock modded rom.. CWM has issues with adb drivers.

Hey I tried some from android development subforum, still doesn't work its either stuck on google loading screen or bootlock so I can't use my CWMR backup. Tried like 5 different versions from different sources.
Tried installing CM + gapps but I keep getting "kernel crash error". It keeps crashing after 30 seconds or 3min but I managed to get it working nonetheless.
I used "cm-10.1.3-e975" and "pa_gapps-full-4.2-20130710-signed"
What exact version did you use? Any specific custom rom that would help me boot properly?
Yay! not soft bricked anymore just crashes a lot...
Finally fixed it. flashed CM 10.2 and gapps. only problem is I lost my imei and I have no modem and signal... To get my imei back, if I remember correctly I need to flash my efs backup? is it safe?
Do I need to flash both baseband or modem? which one? both and which is first??
Three files I found and saved just in case something like this happens...
cwm-lgog_f180l_modem.zip
F180L-Baseband.zip
F180LtoE975_BB.zip
ADB driver for lg optimus g
where can I get the ADB drivers? and where do I load them to the computer or phone? I cant access my internal storage...I've managed to restore my stock rom coming from KK carbon unofficial...but now my phone cant be acessessed.Help me sir,still a greenhorn in this

Bricked Nexus 7 while installing Lollipop - fastboot kinda works

Hello.
So I tried to install Lollipop on my Nexus 7 2013 WiFi. I used their official instructions developers.google.com/android/nexus/images . Before that I made a backup in recovery (if something went wrong) and wiped data. So I did all that and tried to install Lollipop using their instructions, but now after turning the device on I see Google logo and that's all. Also recovery doesn't work. It just shows dead android. Fastboot works, but adb doesn't see my device now.
Before this I had Clean Rom installed.
EDIT: I can see it using fastboot, but it f'd recovery.
EDIT2: I used flash-all second time and now it works, God, for a moment I thought I lost my baby.
Just restart device to bootloader, unpack official Lollipop image and run flash-all.bat within directory with fastboot.
It's very difficult to hard brick..

FWIW adb only works when booted into Android. Fastboot only works in the bootloader.

My problem is I tried to unroot in order to flash the update to lollipop and now unfortunately I seem to have actually hard bricked the device. I can boot into the bootloader. My device is still ulocked. However when I try to access recovery I get the dead android icon. I tried reinstalling adb. It didn't take. I can't get device to show up in the command line. I tried reinstalling drivers and that's where I'm stuck. I can't seem to make this work. Even if I can just go back to 4.4.4 I'll be happy. What are my other options that don't involve sending it in for repair?

I accidentally wiped my internal storage and my operating system this weekend! Mskips toolkit is the only one i could find that would install the drivers properly and then flash a factory 5.0.1 image... Everything works great now!!

The problem is that I can't boot up. Which means I can't put the device in ADB mode. Which means I can't use the skipsoft tool kit.
Use wugs but make sure you tick tablet is in bootloop, worked for me.

U can't boot in to android, but u did state earlier that u can boot to the bootloader, and that it was unlocked, so its definitely not hard bricked!

LG G4 - Boot problem - Download mode works

Hi,
I have problem with my LG G4 (H815). I has stacked at boot screen and sometimes it is able to boot to home screen but after a few second of work, it restarts again. Few days ago the situation was the same but after a few attempts it booted normally. I can normally enter recovery mode and download mode.
Has anyone idea what to do to recover data (photos) from it?
I will probably try to flash stock firmware via LG Tool but I don't know which version is now installed and I cannot find a proper kdz file.
Can anyone help to find a proper kdz file for this phone? and give a link to quide how to flash phone without wipe data?

I don't have TWRP installed. If I have and access to download mode and stock recovery, is there any method that let me install TWRP to recovery data, if I can't boot to home screen?

o when you mentioned recovery i wasnt expecting the stock recovery.. so does your phone boot.? does it have the infamous bootloop when you see logo and it reboots again into a bootloop sometimes optimizing apps then reboots..?
if so i think the only way to recover data its to use the freezer method.. search for it... sorry
if its bootloop then its hardware and needs to be sent to LG just make sure the moisture strips arent allow to get losit or water.
is there any way to force bootloop???? with a kdz file or changing something with root permision ??? i need to send my phone to the SAT

You need to have an unlocked bootloader to do so.
What are the first 3 digits of your serial number (sticker behind battery)
If it starts with 5xx your chances are good to have the boot loop issue which is hardware related.
Try the freezer method to recover and send the device to LG for replacement.
