Those pop ups are actually each of your phone partitions trying to mount themselves to your computer. If you use a Linux computer system (I use Ubuntu) you can push to those partitions to fix it.
Here is the guide on how to do that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142

Was adb working for you before? You may need to install some drivers

so the first part of the commands using fastboot you don't do from adb shell. when you get the phone into fastboot, attach to your computer, you then open command prompt on computer and navigate directories until you are in the android sdk tools folder on your computer wherever it is (most people it is somewhere like c:/android-sdk-windows/tools/)
THEN you type
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
no adb shell.
most people have installed adb in such a way that they can access it's tools from any directory. however, at least on my computer, fastboot commands will only work from within the android tools folder where fastboot is located.
hope this helps.

Lol at ruining your girlfriends phone. What tutorial were you following?
Sent from my HTC EVO via XDA App
i love how this is like, atleast the 4th thread someone has ruined there GFs evo due to inexperience, or the inability to read.
seriously, im not even trying to flame. i love reading this stuff.
its like general information for what NOT to do, for us that do read.
if you find the answer that works for you, mind mentioning said message?
i like to see threads that answer the questions at least, rather than have 10 suggestions, and no final response

how do i transfer the files for the second part of the usb is broken?
I was following the one that has pic by pic, and got to the point where pc36 wouldn't work. Saw that with the newest version this method wouldn't work. Went to the tutorial for that workaround and started following that. I think it got mixed up in there and thought i had nand unlocked it. Went to install the new radio, checked the system info and it wasnt the new one and started to get the problems.
Think it is rooted though because i get the # in adb shell.
How does one check to see if they did unlock nand, besides of the problem causing method i did?
I believe i ****ed up the custom recovery part. When I would load custom recovery it would flicker back and forth to the stock recovery, dont know if thats normal.
update: with more searching i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7136621&postcount=128 to use a update to fix the usb.
I did this and at least now it is charging, still not connecting to computer though it will charge through comp.
Can i flash back to the stock rom now? Will that fix it? How do i flash the stock rom?
Laughed at the thread title. Is the phone messed up, or the girlfriend? Gotta love misplaced modifiers.
If in fact you are rooted, you can use this method. It will put you back to "stock" with root and all the latest updates. If your computer wont mount your phone, you may have to get a micro sd card reader and plug it directly to your usb on your computer to download the files you need. Just make sure the phone is off or you unmount the sd in settings before you remove it. Or you can download them from your phone's browser, but you'll need a file manager to move the files to the root of your sd. If that wont work, your sd card might be corrupted.

[Q] Gnex stucks on Nexus logo

Hello guys, I need your help with the Gnex.
My friend gave me the phone hoping that I can do something. It stucks on nexus logo while booting. USB debugging is turned off, cwm or twrp is not installed. All I can is to enter Android system recovery with the following options: apply update from adb; apply update from usb drive; wipe data factory reset; wipe cache partition.
I've tried wiping cache partition but is doesn't help. Please advice whether wiping data/factory reset will delete the data from internal SD card - I am afraid to lose the photos.
Please advice what should I do to extract data (photos) in my situation?
Thanks in advance to everyone.

before using device too much, quick go to galaxy nexus general section here, and find thread "internal data recovery, yes we can"
you might be able to recover deleted photos.
the way it works when you delete things, is it just tells os that the space isnt being used, so the actual data might still be there and some may still be recoverable.
it is quite a process though. good luck

Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I'm trying to recover. By the way, do you know what does the phrase from the recover guide "ADB (make sure adb.exe is in your path)" mean? Which path?

Thank you for your help. I've followed to step 6, but unfortunalely, RAW file is 0 b after creation. I've tried different numbers in this name mmcblk0p12.raw - but with no effect.. Tried to reinstall cygwin, used NetCat file insted of NC - all the same.
Maybe anyone faced this problem with 0 b size of the RAW file? Maybe it's because I have less than 15 Gb of free space on my disk C?
Would be grateful for your advices.

I'd like to try explaining this a little better. Basically when using a program from the command prompt in any OS the OS needs to know where the program is (this is not just for command prompt, but I digress). There are a few ways of telling the OS where the program you want to use is located.
For example, lets say you have ADB in the folder "android_stuff" on your E drive.
Option 1: Change Directory to the folder, IE: "cd android_stuff"
Option 2: Provide the "full path name" of the program, "e:\android_stuff\adb"
Option 3: Add the folder location to the system "path"
Options 1 and 2 are fairly easy and straightforward, whereas Option 3 can be done in a few ways.
My suggestion is to go with Option 1, its the easiest and all you would have to do is put all of the files you will be using into a single folder.

[GUIDE]How to install latest Marshmallow KDZ on the LG Spirit

Hello, as some of you may already know, we can't flash MM kdz on our LG Spirit using LG Flash Tool, so we have to use LG UP, a method which is also used by LG G4c owners. I drew the idea from them, since G4c and Spirit are practically the same devices. I've modified a script from G4c, all credits go to @bender_007.
So here are the steps:
1. Make sure you have USB drivers installed.
2. Download and install LG UP: http://www.filedropper.com/g4 ---- First install LGUP_8994_DLL_Ver_0_0_3_23, then LGUP_Install_Ver_1_14_3.
3. Download the script that makes LG UP recognize our device as H440n(Courtesy of @bender_007, I only modified small parts of it). Link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/lbxdwloffi75qqg/AABfz5e9AIiSxipsnZQIiikGa?dl=0 (Download as zip)
4. Extract the zip and run h440n.bat
5. Connect your Spirit in MTP mode.
6. Run LG UP and wait for it to load.
7. Leave all settings as they are.
8. Under file path, browse to the kdz file you downloaded. NOTE: It won't show in the directory it is in, because the browse window sees only .tot files, so you have to manually type in the KDZ name in the text field and select it that way.
9. Click Start
10. Wait
11. ???
12. Profit! Enjoy your LG Spirit running Marshmallow!
Thanks, I had to manually copy the dll in the LGUP folder, dunno if it's my fault, or script's fault though.
EDIT: It gives me an error on boot, about CUST not existing... Nothing important, I can continue to use it but it's rather annoying? Fixes? Thanks.

Depending on OS and security level it can happen, it might need an elevated access- Try: right click - run as administrator

Had to also copy everything over manually, running as admin didn't help. I haven't done anything to my security settings and am running on the only account that was created with the install. I think it might have something to do with me running on dev mode though.

Regular mode what is enabled by Deafult on KitKat and newer ROM's. It is also known as Media Transfer Protocol and when you connect phone it should look something like this (screenshot from my PC with my current device connected because of copying nandroid backup to PC)
Antoher note: for LG Spirit it looks like Phone Icon, not Media Device.

Step by Step guides on rooting / un-rooting the T-mobile LG G5 (MM 6.0.1)

Hello everyone,
Here are some step by step guides for those of you who need detailed instructions for rooting and un-rooting the T-mobile LG G5.
The guides are short and to the point and are meant to be followed one after the other (STEP#1 --> STEP#2 --> STEP#3).
For the step#3 guide, you must choose one out of the three available guides below:
Guides:
Tmobile-LGG5_pre_flash_MM_6_0_1_requirements_STEP_1
Tmobile-LGG5_pre_flash_MM_6_0_1_requirements_STEP_2
Tmobile-LGG5_flash_root_with_stock_MM_6_0_1_Re-install_STEP_3 <------ If you want to re-install stock MM 6.0.1 with root
Tmobile-LGG5_flash_root_with_stock_MM_6_0_1_Upgrade_only_STEP_3 <------ If you want to root current stock MM 6.0.1
Tmobile-LGG5_flash_Stock_UnRoot_MM_6_0_1_STEP_3 <------ If you want to have stock MM 6.0.1 only (no root, use this if you want to return the phone or sell it)
They will walk you through:
Downloading and Installing the necessary drivers / tools
Unlocking your bootloader
Flashing the stock .kdz file
Flashing the rooted .TOT file
Using TWRP to gain root status
I assume the following:
You are using a Microsoft Windows operating system (Windows 7 or above)
You understand that all data on your phone will be deleted
You understand that your warranty is now gone
You understand that YOU MUST follow the guides one after the other (1 -> 2 -> 3). If you deviate from this YOU WILL NOT be successful in rooting your phone
You understand that YOU MUST follow the steps in the guides one after the other (1 -> 2 -> 3). If you deviate from this YOU WILL NOT be successful in rooting your phone
Your phone's USB PC Connection (mode your phone is in when connected to your PC) is on File Transfer mode. ADB and Fastboot commands to the device WILL NOT work if device is not on this mode
You read the Useful tips & information for the T-mobile LG G5 post
You read the Changelog + News & Additions post
***Un-root***​
If you want to "un-root" your device (go back to default stock) use the Tmobile-LGG5_flash_Stock_UnRoot_MM_6_0_1_STEP_3 guide.
(Keep in mind that this WILL DELETE all data on the phone)
***Disclaimer***​
I take no responsibility in what you do to your phone
The step-by-step guides in this thread were made with the assumption that you will strictly follow them one after the other.
(If you don't, YOU WILL brick your phone!)
If you run into an problem, verify that you have correctly completed all the steps for each guide before posting to this thread. Most problems come from guides / steps that were skipped.
If possible use a laptop that is fully charged and plugged in to an outlet instead of a regular PC (unless it has a UPS attached to it) just in case you lose power during the flashing process.
(If you use a regular PC without a UPS attached to it and you lose power during the flashing process, YOU WILL brick your phone!)
I would like to thank the following people for making all of this possible:
tungkick
wolfu11
arjuna_
Your work and dedication does not go unnoticed, thank you. I would also like to thank anyone else not mentioned here that allowed the rest of us to get root on our beloved LG G5 phones. The android community is awesome!!!

**Changelog + News & Additions**​
Changelog (for the guides only):
7.16.16 - All guides have been updated to reflect the new 10d .kdz and .tot files. All links to tools, .kdz, and .tot files have been updated as well.
News & Additions:
7.16.16 - Multiple updates
A modified H83010d rooted .tot file has been released (thanks to Tungkick & wolfu11)
Guides are safe to use again. All links in all the guides have been updated to reflect the new H83010d files
If TWRP is not showing the internal storage but only the external SD-card take a look at post 24
7.9.16 - There is a new firmware update (H83010d) for the LG G5 (T-mobile) which is not compatible with firmware (H83010a) the .TOT files used in this thread have
If you upgrade to this new firmware, you will lose root.
There is no current way to get root on the new H83010d firmware unless the modified .TOT / KDZ files are released with TWRP included
There is an anti-rollback feature in the LG G5 (t-mobile) phone that prevents you from flashing back the H83010a firmware after you upgrade to the H83010d firmware. Attempting to do this WILL BRICK your phone!
Do not attempt to use the guides which are using H8301a .tot / kdz files if you have updated to H8301d. I will be updating the guides as soon as the H83010d modified .tot / kdz files come out.
5.29.16 - LG G5 & LG V10 possible driver issue: First reported on Post#6
If you own an LG V10 and have used your PC to root it, you most likely installed drivers, tools, and or files specific for the V10. What this means is that you may have to uninstall those drivers, tools, and or files prior to installing anything to be used for rooting the G5. This does not include the ADB program which can work for both.
i just felt the need to post and say thanks for this even though i dont need it. Great effort pulling these together, they look good and are very clear. Thanks! :good:

Thank you.
Thank you for the walk through. I had a little trouble with drivers and had to uninstall all drivers and reinstall exactly as you have it written here for it to work. I have a LG V10 which probably caused some conflict.
Two questions:
1) Does this automatically encrypt the phone? After flashing both the no verity and the SU it boots in to "encrypting" with no other option. I have not had this happen with any other device. Did I mess something up?
2) The password at the beginning of TWRP is requested every time, even after flashing the no verity zip. What did I do wrong?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ETA:
Something wasn't right about the No Verity app. I redid entire process and was able to get it to work with root being successful. Left this up for others - I Believe my mistake was using an external SD to install SU first and then no verity. For some reason they were NOT showing in TWRP on the internal SD even though I KNOW they were there.

Thank you for your input skyfox99. Your solution to the issues you faced will help others avoid them. You made me think of something I did not anticipate which is what happens when you attempt to root your G5 using the same PC you used to root a V10. I am definitely adding a service announcement to the Changelog (post#3) to address this possible issue.
When I get to step 13: Verify that the LGUP Tool works... the progress frame never shows up, even after restarting my PC. Am I missing something? Please help

Thank you for the walk through. I had a little trouble with drivers and had to uninstall all drivers and reinstall exactly as you have it written here for it to work. I have a LG V10 which probably caused some conflict.
ETA:
Something wasn't right about the No Verity app. I redid entire process and was able to get it to work with root being successful. Left this up for others - I Believe my mistake was using an external SD to install SU first and then no verity. For some reason they were NOT showing in TWRP on the internal SD even though I KNOW they were there.

Your internal storage gets wiped. That's why they weren't there.

i believe i'm having the same issue, no files show up in the explorer in TWRP regardless. I've been using a usb thumb drive with a usb c adapter to flash files from twrp. i followed directions perfectly and i still see the warning encryption message and read-only message when starting twrp every time.
i have root tho and everything seems to be working fine

Anyone find a fix to this? I'm stuck in the same spot, I've gone through the entire process twice now, including resetting the phone back to 6. No matter what I try it seems TWRP won't mount my internal storage!

I guess I'm having trouble understanding exactly what your issue is. Are you saying that when you boot into TWRP and you go to the INSTALL section to flash the encryption zip and the superSU zip you don't see the files? Can you attach a few screenshots so that I can better understand what you are going through. Thank you.

No, I copied after wipe so they were there. Computer recognized them and so does file manager.

There is a TWRP bootloop set of instructions in another thread, run those commands and see if it resolves it, maybe?

I had to reflash no verity a few times, before installing SU. There seems to be a problem with TWRP.

I didn't have any of the issues you guys are reporting in this thread. TWRP sees both internal storage and SD card. And has since I originally rooted.
Will unlocking the bootloader and rooting my phone or if I install a ROM take away my sim unlock?

This is a good question and I unfortunately do not know the answer. I truly don't think your sim will be affected but I am not sure. Sorry.

I'm having the same issue that some of you had. When I boot into recovery, I can't find the zip files anywhere. Was anybody able to figure it out??

It's a very weird problem and unfortunately the only thing I can think off is that TWRP might not be compatible with the SD-Card you are using.

Razer is bricked, please help. Need complete emmc image.

Bricked my razer a while back reinstalling the stock firmware. The cable unplugged from the phone and corrupted the storage. Cant enter recovery or bootloader. But according to some resources that i came across while doing some research, im able to interface with the device using the qualcomm hs-usb protocol. With that im able to directly access the devices storage. If anyone is willing to help, what id need is for you to wipe your device clean, and run these commands
Adb shell
Su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/storage/sdcard1/backup.img bs=512 count=30535646
From there id be able to delete the partition table, and copy the devices storage config from the backup. Once thats established id be able to access bootloader recovery and system.
If anyone is able to help, id really appreciate it
Thanks
i too have done the exact same now stuck with a brick hope someone can help

Nope nothing yet, we need either emmc development files for the phone, no likely to find. And with the qualcomm tools the corrupted storage can be re partitioned and again be written to.
However if someone with a working razer was to wipe the device clean, and dump partition info. Then the images can be written to the device, over writing the damaged partitions.
Black screen on my razer phone. can't access download or recovery. any help will be greatly appreciated. the computer makes a sound when I plug in the razer phone.

Your razer is in a state known as EDL. I5s the qualcomm Emergency Download mode. Used to program your emmc storage. That is exactly what the few of us are experiencing, however with no owners of the device willing to share a default wiped image of their emmc, there is no way for us to remap the partitions appropriately in order to once again flash and access the bootloader.
If you could let me know how one would do it I might be able to help you before I sell my razer phone
Thank you, if you restore your phone back to factory settings, connect to pc via adb and run the command in the initial post. That command should (from what i read elsewhere) create a full backup of the partitions on your device. If you are successfull and are able to share through some cloud storage such as dropbox or something of the like, i should be able to restore my razer.

im guessing i will need root to run those commands, atm i am performing a full nandroid backup of everything before i do the reset, my phone is rooted and has twrp installed on both a and b partions
extracted the files, the img is 13GB so gonna compress it before i upload it, hopefully it should work but will have to be tomorrow now
uploading the file now
ok done, heres the link
http://www.mediafire.com/file/j3j6pp3ym161t0q/backup.7z/file
you will need 7zip to extract it which you can get from here for free www.7zip.org

hi xda member dtronics has very kindly uploaded a complete back up approx 13gb
file.do you know how to use this to restore/repair our phones?.
Excellent, i will take a look and see if i can push it to the device in edl mode. The thread has been dead for a while, so it may take a while for me to review all the previous resources that led me to the point where i had posted this thread.
Thank you so very much!
This is the article I was using to attempt salvaging my phone.
https://www.droidsavvy.com/unbrick-qualcomm-mobiles/
Unfortunately I am in the EDL mode where my device storage is not recognized, so I am unable to tamper with it until the razer phones flash programmer or firehose files have been leaked.
Hopefully someone else may have success resurrecting their device using dtronic's backup and or with the information provided in the link.
Thank you any and all of you who have contributed or followed the thread. But my trail ends here unless the flash programmer files are somehow made available.
Unfortunately sadly I too couldn't work out a way to flash or recover razer phone with the upload from dtronics.thank you to all involved,but I think it's time to chuck the old razer in the bin.this is my first ever failure or perm bricked device since I started rooting etc with the HTC wildfire.
?
Tried Klinik handphone medan (google search). They have firehose for msm 8998 but I removed the usb cable when it was flashing (didn't look like it was flashing anything) now the computer don't even recognize the phone....
getting this message "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)".

I wouldnt know for sure. But my understanding is the programmer files (firehose or sahara files) arent stored on the device. They are used by programmer interface to identify the processor as well as the storage media, possibly all harware for the device. If this were a more mainstream device the programmer files may have been available to us through a leak. Only way to fix it at this point would be to bring it to a shop, they should have access to the files one way or another.
I don't know, I don't have my razer phone any more, went and got myself a OnePlus 6t, the emmc file is still available to download from my post and still looking for people to mirror the file
