Trying to root my T-Mobile G3. I used purpledrake, it went through the process and said "permaroot worked, all done here. Moving on..." But instead of saying hit enter to restart, like it showed in this video, it says logout and then [Process completed] and my phone is stuck in the screen which shows not to disconnect. What do I do???
Also, it never asked if I want to install TWRP and custom boot like it says in this thread.
Could it have something to do with my phone being 10m and everything I've been seeing was for 10c??
Please help. This is my first time rooting and I really hope I didn't just brick my phone.
BTW, I'm on a Mac. I have win 7 parallels but would prefer a Mac solution if possible.EDIT:
DISASTER AVERTED! Hopefully this helps anyone else who runs into this same problem. I popped the battery out and it restarted fine and is rooted. It's just a weird bug that causes it to freeze at the do not disconnect screen.

Hi everyone,
today I woke up and as usual i turned on my Gnex GSM (that has TWRP 2.8.0.0 and PA 4.6 beta 3 release1) and after a few minutes it started rebooting. i tried to remove battery at first but nothing happened; every time I put in the battery it starts, ask me for PIN, seems everything ok but reboots again.
I tried to enter in recovery mode to do a factory reset and even if TWRP says successful wipe nothing happens because when i reboot everything is like before. Itried to change recovery from TWRP to CWM but I can't even do that it "stucks" with TWRP. Fortunately I made a backup recently so I don't mind losing everything but if everyone has a solution please tell me because I don't know what to do!!
Another thing that compared in the log of TWRP during wipes was some strange ( for me, I'm not a developer) errors like "E: enable to stat '/data/media/.....'
If anyone can help I'll appreciate a lot!!! :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Thanks all!!
Same thing happened to me too....
Everything was working butter smooth when **** hit the fan.
I own GSM Gnex, rooted with stock 4.3 with Xposed installed. Custom recovery was TWRP
One fine day I was sitting with a friend in an restaurant when my phone suddenly started rebooting after reaching the homescreen. Mind you I can unlock my phone but after a couple of seconds, it would reboot
For two days, I did everything I could, used Wugs NRT, did a factory reset using TWRP, used ODIN, Flashed stock using toolkit and did that again manually using ADB. Nothing happened.
It says 'successful' when I flash using NRT, but nothing really changes and it freezes halfway while using ODIN and 'FAIL' error shows up.
After two days, I gave it to the shop from where I bought the device and its fourth day today but he still isnt able to repair my phone.
Mind you, I can access TWRP and all the functions, even factory reset but nothing happens.
At first I thought it might be moisture but it wasnt the case. I think it has to be an hardware issue
**UPDATE:** so I have managed after many tries to unbrick my phone. So I have unbricked it using kdz method.
No the weird thing is that the phone works fine while in the charger, but when I take the charger off it shuts itself off and starts getting into a bootloop again.
I really don't care any more about my data, I just wanna get my phone normal again.
Any idea what to do?
So I have installed fulmics rom 2 days ago in my phone. At first it seemed great but after couple of hours it started having some problems (when entering the snapchat it just shutdown). It really annoyed me so I decided install a new kernel . I downlaoded xceed kernel and just flashed it and hoped it will succeed.
After that every thing got ****! The device just showed the LG logo and restarted and than showed it again.
I didn't know what to do than I searched a little bit and I connected my device, and using adb sideload transfered cloudy rom(of course I did wipe before flashing it).
After I flashed the room every thing seemed great, it took time and in the setup there was a step where you "restore" you device. (Google service).
I chose the apps I wanted and while it was proccessing it just shut down and again started showing the lg device and restarting it self.
I am really lost, I dont know what to do, I trying ****ing every thing.
Thank you guys.
Same here and still dont know the answer
I'd advice you to read carefully on the rom you want to flash before flashing so you know exactly what to expect. While your phone is busy stuck in bootloop, try connecting it to the charger and let me know what happens.
Okay, So let me start from the beginning so I'm certain I'm being descriptive enough.
The other night my G3's wifi stopped working. When I went to turn it on in settings it would turn itself back off. Which I thought was strange. So, I assumed it was a software issue so I backed up any important items and factory reset my phone last night. That went over fine. Wifi worked again, all was good. Until, it said it needed an Android Software Update. I hit "update" and allowed it to do its thing. About halfway through the update the phone said "error." With an icon of the Android bot with a hazard triangle sticking out from it. I let it be for a bit and nothing happened. So in my impatience I took the battery out and put it back in and tried to restart the phone. This is where the issue occurs. The phone keeps booting to recovery mode. I'm not savvy at all with Android so I don't know if these mean anything but it says "Android System Recovery <3e> LRX21Y" The phone has had zero modifications done to it. I would really appreciate any help or any tutorials that could save the phone until my g6 preorder comes in.
Thanks!

Your phone failed the update for some weird reasons and is now stuck. I'm afraid you'll need to restore stock Android using LG Flash tools and KDZ files to your device. It will get your phone working, but you'll lose your data in the process.
You can try mounting the phone from recovery or download mode and see if you can access your data and backup the data. You can also try the recovery option without downloading wnloaing a KDZ first.
You can fins tutorials around the forum, in the general section usually.
I've looked all over for a definitive answer on this, and can't seem to find anyone with the exact problem I'm having. When I first got this phone it came with 4.4.2 jellybean. Eventually I was notified of a software update so I went ahead and installed it. To my horror, not only did it update to Android 5.0.1 (yuck!), it also installed McAfee. After this, my battery life became so bad I had no choice but to root the phone and flash a custom rom. However, when doing this I didn't realize that McAfee had a lock feature, so after getting TWRP, rooting, and installing my custom ROM (OctOS Android 5.1.1), I rebooted to a screen saying that the device was locked. After rebooting several times and wiping and reinstalling some things (I don't know exactly how this next part happened), I finally got the phone to boot and the 'locked by McAfee' screen no longer shows up... but now, the phone boot loops about half the time, and when it does boot it always goes through the "optimizing android" step, as if the phone has just been booted for the first time with a fresh rom. What can I do to fix this? I can only assume that McAfee is somehow involved here, but I'm not even sure at this point. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hello.
I create a new post it will be better organized. Well, in the end I have a big problem with the c pixel. I wanted to flash Factory 7.1.2 ryu. I followed all the steps on the Google site. So install adb and Fastboot with their drivers. Then double click on Flash_all.bat. All went well it rebooted and I can use the tablet without any problem. The only thing I didn't do was lock the bootloader because I thought it would wait until tomorrow. So everything works fine I have test some features, then I test the restart and there is a big mistake. I see the message: bootloader is unlocked and os verification is off the device continues booting in 30 second. Then a high-pitched beep and the Google logo appears but never changes. So nothing left and blocked on this logo. And did I do something stupid, did I brick it. I'm lost ?
While trying to connect it in sector there was the animation of the four small rounds then it turns off and goes in bootloop. Is it over? ?? Or can I still fix it?
I'm going back to the message I posted earlier. Here, I undertook alone to look for my mistake to remedy it. So in the recovery I saw "enter in fastboot mode" so I pressed it and I reflashed the rom factory. then everything went well. And instead of continuing like yesterday I immediately locked the bootloader. Then I rebooted and for the moment everything is going well. The only thing I'm afraid to do is restart. But if everything goes wrong I'll just have to flash the rom factory again, I think. So here it is I solved my problem by myself
Edit: the restart works perfectly. My mistake was to restart without locking the bootloader.
