[BootLoop] Please help. No recovery, Download mode, adb, phone cuts off!. - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

UNIQUE SITUATION....... Long story short. Have LG G3 LS990, I accidentally deleted twrp stock backup from sd card, and was stuck with running CM 12.1. Then I flashed the wrong zip file using twrp to get stock firmware back. It was for a different model number, verizon I think. After that I could only boot in recovery, but twrp would not recognize/restore the CM 12.1 backup from sd card. I had a CM based Crdroid rom zip on my PC which I transferred to sd card and flashed in twrp. It worked and after the initial setup the the phone would just cut off. Went to stock recovery and factory reset. BAD IDEA! I cant get into download mode, it will flash the icon and then cut off when I plug into pc while holding vol down. Cant get into any recovery, tried all options to do so. Only option I have is to pwr on device, it goes into the Crdroid Cyanogen based rom and cuts off 15 seconds later. looked at many threads to fix problem, but nothing works because PC wont install drivers when phone is connected. When the rom opens up the pc will recognize the phone but only for 15 seconds before it cuts off. I have to remove the battery just to start up again. No recovery, download mode, adb/fastboot interface. Phone only powers on, show LG...powered by android screen, then goes into boot animation for CrDroid [the one with the eye of horus], and then i have about 15 second to swipe up and go into app folder, setting, etc. Then it just cuts off.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] Help! Accidentally deleted system and can't restore or install

Coming from a phone with microSD extension, I had never encountered such an issue:
I bought this phone with a stock 4.2 Rom installed and tried to install a custom Rom. I first installed the latest version of touch recovery (tried it and it seemed to work fine) and did a backup using the default settings. Then I erroneously chose to format system and data, thinking that I could then "install from zip". Strangely, these steps deleted everything in the /sdcard directory and I couldnt select "external SD" (because the phone isnt equipped with it anyways?). Then I made a second mistake and restarted the phone, despite the message warning that I no longer had an OS installed. I took the battery out, and then held the power down while pressing the power button. The phone couldn't get into recovery, but instead showed a screen with the android logo, a large "Start" sign above it, and "Downloading...", "Do not turn off target !!" below it. Pressing the power button now got the phone to show just "Google" and a lock logo under it. The PC (windows 7) can not detect the phone throughout the process.
I tried the latest tool kit and samsung's USB driver but couldnt get the phone recognized by the PC.
Does this mean that the phone is doomed???
Please help!!!

Relax, it's not easy to 'doom' your Nexus. Especially with all the hard-workers in XDA
Try accessing Recovery mode by holding down BOTH vol up + vol down, as well as power. Holding just vol down + power is 'Download Mode', and at the least you can get to this. Means your phones far from doomed
Thanks a lot for the reply!
As a matter of fact, I also figured out how to get back to recovery (if only I had read your post earlier, my pain would've been much less!). But the problem remains that I can not get a target ROM onto the phone, since: 1. whatever I did seemed to have gotten rid of the nand backup supposedly stored in /data/media/TWRP/BACKUPS/ (I'm using TWRP V. 2.3.2.1). 2. I can not get my PC(or Mac, for that matter) to recognize the phone or the internal storage.
Any pointer from here?
Thanks again!!!

You can download a factory image and install with fastboot. It's quite easy and instructions are readily available on this forum. You can then install a custom ROM afterwards if stock is not your thing.
Found the answer finally!
It's the adb push method. Basically, it's to install adb drivers and execute a few commands via the command window. Not too bad... Don't know much about fastboot yet though ... If anyone else needs more details, please PM me (to save public bandwidth).
Thanks a lot anyways, whpnhp and jocalderone!!!

[Q] Deleted my OS... HELP!!!

Ok so first, let me say I know I done goofed. What happened was my phone (Note 2 GT-N7100) started to choke up a lot, battery life was ridiculously low and then suddenly my phone's language was constantly being switched to Italian.
I thought it might be a virus but a scan couldn't find anything. I deleted almost all apps in hopes it would stop but the phone went on with these weird glitches. In an act of desperation, I decided to wipe out everything and go back to factory settings.
Thing is my phone is rooted and I had the X Note Rom installed. When I tried the factory reset on TWRP, it still went back to the X Note Rom. That's when I dun goofed. I deleted EVERY ****ING THING in a desperate and stupid move.
Now when I press Volume Up + Home + Power I can get to Recovery Mode but I ain't got **** to install. If I press Volume Down + Home + Power I get into Odin mode but get a "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!" message that just hangs there forever.
To top it off, my computer won't recognize the damn phone anymore. Am I ****ed? Can I get myself out of this mess?! Please HELP!!!
Take it easy, download a custom rom, transfer it to the SD card, enter recovery and Flash it.
Since you can't connect the phone via USB, you need a SD card reader (if you have a laptop you 100% have it)
OR
You could flash the stock ROM through Odin, but it's more risky in my opinion. I would go with the 1st method

[Q] HTC M8 doesnt boot

hey everybody,
Ive unlocked my htc one m8s booadloader, installed Cyanogenmod 11 has and it just worked finde .. after taht i wanted to test paranoid android, so ive installed via recovery (bevore i made a wipe) - and it also has worked perfect. then I wanted to install the gapps after that, so i flashed the zip file via CWRP. it has installed without error, but when rebooting the screen doesnt go on and it is alwas black. when I do a hard reset with power button and volume up, the white screen with htc logo and the red warrienty text appiers, but then it shot down again. please help me what have i to do?
thank you
When you plug it into the computer does the computer make a ding sound that it's connected? If so, then press power and volume up until the disconnect ding sound which indicates it's rebooting and then immediately press volume down and see if you can get into fastboot. The timing is tricky so I've found using audio cues from computer can help if the phone is messed up.
Go into fastboot, flash the latest TWRP, sideload or copy onto a sdcard a nandroid backup and back it up through twrp. that should do it

OPPO Keyboard has stopped working, leading me to stuck on a fastboot loop.

Please help. This is a serious matter for me.
Started having this problem at February 14th, 02.10 AM.
Have been looking for the answers in the Oppo Forums too but still got no answers.
Okay, I have a habit, which is moving all of my applications from my internal storage to my external SD card, after I let those applications doing their functions and programs and features and so on for a while. It's not a big deal for me to set up my phone again after I restarted it, and usually it works perfectly. Just restart and I would get to operate my phone again. However, this time, I got a bad luck. The worst one, considering the fact that I'm all-around-gadget.
Here's the results I got from reading a lot of threads (not only from this forum and OPPO forums):
OPPO Swype Keyboard has stopped working? Really?
After restarting my un-rooted Find 7 (9076), I cannot type the password on my lock screen. Like any other Android devices, it would always come back to it's system or default applications, I knew that fact. But this time, when I touched the blank space to type my password, nothing came out. No OPPO Keyboard, which happened to be OPPO's default keyboard. No other keyboards. None at all.
So, I cannot do one single thing to my phone except just turn it on and stared at it like a complete idiot.
Then I decided to turn my phone off and turn it on again after a while.
But still, the same thing happened. No keyboards.
That time, I decided to turn off my phone again and pulled out the battery and my external SD card.
After putting the battery back (External SD Card was still outside), and turned it on again, the same thing still happened.
Sliding my fingers up and down, nothing happened. The touchscreen was still there, showing me my date and time even though I was sliding my fingertips up and down.
Not too long after, I felt my phone got warmer and warmer. I tried double-clicking the home button, which I already set to unlock the lock screen, was also useless. The screen was still black and locked. When it got over-heating, automatically I pulled out the battery without even turning off the phone.
That one was my fault. I knew, and well, honestly speaking, this is the first time I'm in this kind of situation. In the past, my Find 7 would just suddenly restarted itself then everything went back to normal, but not this time.
And here's the beginning of my Fastboot Loop.
Fastboot Loop on un-rooted device
After pressing the Power button and the Volume Up button at the same time, it would bring you to the Recovery Mode. When I did that to my Find 7, it brought me to a black backgrounded screen with cute OPPO mascot and some Hanzi (Chinese handwritings). Picture attached.
I tried to wait for 2-3 hours and found nothing happened.
Pulling the batter out and putting the batter back would do the same.
In other words, I am not able to gain access to my Recovery Mode.
Why didn't bring the phone to the service centre?
I thought about this already.
When I tried to connect my phone to my pc, it can detect the phone but cannot access the files because the phone was still locked with the password.
Usually, the service centre requires us to unlock the phone if there's a problem with it, right? In my cases, yes.
I was searching all night to find out the answers.
I found some threads about the Fastboot Loop thing and etc, but they are only for rooted devices.
I'm using:
OPPO Find 7 (9076)
Color OS 2.0.5i Beta
Android KitKat 4.4.2
Device is not rooted, still original.
Still dealing with the same problem until now (the time I post this thread).
Anyone has solved this problem and guide me step by step to finish this?

boot into recovery and format the phone, this should fix it. If you want to backup your data, just boot into fastboot, connect phone to pc, run fastboot command from sdk tool, push custom recovery, flash twrp, make nandroid backup, fomat phone along with all the storage and then flash oppo stock rom (you need to download) or any other custom rom with gapps. To restore use nandroid manager, do not restore system files if you are flashing custom rom.

Thank you for your help Sir.
But, my Find 7 already operated normally again since I left it for a few days uncharged and off.
Then I got into Recovery Mode by pressing Power button and Volume Down button (not Volume Up button) while in the middle of my fast-boot loop.
It worked. I could gain access to ColorOS Recovery Mode.
So, I reset my Find 7, then re-installed my applications and everything again.
Thank you for answering!

Stuck on TWRP Recovery mode (LG G3 d855)

So after accidently wiping everything I had on both SD and Internal memory trying to make a custom rom work, I was stuck with a phone that only has TWRP on it, basically. Now after I've been through this guide TO THE LETTER: http://www.droidviews.com/install-stock-android-marshmallow-lg-g3-d855-using-twrp-recovery/ I can see it installed an OS but I cant seem to get my phone to load it! SO then I tried entering recovery mode and getting back to default, it didn't change anything, so I tried installing Zoe rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/zoe-rom-v1-0-mm-6-0-stock-v30a-d855-t3402087) and It STILL ONLY LOADS TWRP even though the installation seemed to be successful!
So what do I need to do? Just flat out delete TWRP? or what? Pleas advise as I'm desperate. If needs be, redirect me to how to just completely reinstall everything from scratch to 6.0 or 7.0 (preferably). I was on 4.x.x for ages and I just wanted to update, instead destroyed my phone. Sigh.
UPDATE: Another thing I've tried is to flash it with KDZ file from the PC. I can see the phone, I can transfer files to it, but windows DOES NOT recognize in the device manage so when I tried to use the flash tool, after clicking "Start" it pops a new window which gets to 60% and then stops saying the phone is not connected to the pc.

I just got over something like this this morning. First, you need to ensure you have the LG Universal drivers installed for your phone. Get them here.
Next, reboot your machine.
After this, I made sure the PC recognized all 3 modes of my phone, TWRP mode (boot to TWRP, connect), Download Mode (boot to download mode with cable) and, at least in my case, the flashing lights mode (shows up as QHUD Bulk or something).
After that, I ran the KDZ restore program successfully.
Good luck and let me know how it goes.
