Hello,
some days ago I've installed Android M.
If i try to boot recovery now i just get the dead droid.
~5 Mins later it just reboots to normal mode.
Flashing TWRP didn't help
Any suggestions - never had something like this before?

TWRP requires an unlocked bootloader which the VS986 (Verizon G4) has not been able to do. I saw a thread somewhere about installing MM on any G4, but figured I could wait a while and be happy with 13B. What software version were you BEFORE installing 6.0 MM? Can you not go back to 13B by placing a system image on your phone and flashing that in recover/command mode? I have not read much about what MM does with your kernel/bootloader, so DEFINITELY check that before you think about going back to 5..1 LG has anti-rollback stuff backed in that can brick your phone if you try going to a previous version, but not sure how the 6.0 MM flash handles that.
Edit: Well, that answers that question, not a Verizon phone. lol.
Which H815 version do you have? VERY IMPORTANT because not all H815 are made the same. Depending on the region is what determines if you can actually unlock your bootloader.

Bootloader is unlocked. Had 5.1 before with TWRP & Co. working.
The CM Wiki is exactly what I did. Installing Android 6 and then flashing recovery with adb.
Can't link due newbie but cyanogen wiki /w/Install_CM_for_h815
Now tried to boot directly into recovery after flashing.
I'm just getting the Stock recovery after a sucessful flash of twrp?

I was trying to root my phone but was running MM 6.0 so I had to downgrade to LP first. I tried downgrading using LGUP tool, but when it finished, I get stuck on the LG logo without access to download mode or recovery mode! Yes I tried the power+vol buttons.
Any help is appreciated!
EDIT:
I used Canada TELUS H81210F.kdz when trying to downgrade to LP using LGUP found here: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G4/Canada+H812/

Go to Telus and demand a free repair for unsuccessful upgrade *phone died during upgrade.
The only thing you can do.

What version of firmware do you have, and which version of TWRP did you flash? Did you read the TWRP thread and the one I linked you? If on Nougat you need the latest unofficial version of twrp.
Twrp thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-t3358139
Not sure which YouTube vid you followed by I would guess it's probably a bit outdated by now.

And thank you for helping
MS lost and users too !!!
It happened to me yesterday (March 4th,2016) and I did not succeed with anything I tried.
I'm traveling and only return on Monday.
My desktop is with windows-10 educational.
These unannounced automatic updates are horrible, from December to March there have already been 5 major updates, the 24/12 had been the worst of them.
If I have to re-install it I will go back to Windows 98 !!!
MS has totally lost its way, so I do not recommend using Windows-10 that only has spys and telemetry (120 processes running, it's impossible)!
Hello All!
I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I'm trying to install nougat on my phone and having some great difficulty.
So far my phone is flashed and I was running TWRP 3.0.2 however every time i try to flash a lineage 14.1 based rom it would never work. (tried straight lineage 14.1, nutOS, DOT) none of them worked (wiped the phone clean, then received error 7, removed the assert lines that let in install but just perpetually boot looped) . My many a google searches makes me believe that that particular version of TWRP does not work with nougat. but that's the only version I am able to get working. any newer version of TWRP gets stuck in a perpetual boot loop.
So with that said, if my suspicious are correct and i need a newer version is there anything I'm missing to install a newer version of TWRP? if 3.0.2 is a good enough version to install nougat based rom's what am I missing on that end?
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated! and Thanks in advance!
Ninja edit: I'm runnnig the Z00A (Z551ML) and i've been using using roms/images meant for Z00A
I'm actually not yet used to these kind of stuffs but I guess your problem has something to do with either your twrp version or the bootloader version, this link might help you. http://theflamingskull.com/downloads/z00a/MM_BL_STUFF/

Yup that was it. My google-fu is off as i found my answer from a reddit post (5 seconds after asking this question in reddit...) My issue was that i was still on lolipop, the last OTA update and had no idea asus put out a manual update. worst part is, after unlocking the bootloader installing twrp, THEN installing that oem update, that might have cause my phone to crash mid update so it ended up bricking the phone...
I was able to Frankenstein it back together with old parts that I thought were no good, right now I'm on that last manual update and I gotta fight through a few issues preventing the boot loader from being unlocked.
Anyway you were correct, using the last OTA update updates the bootloader so I was stuck cause of that.
Hi guys,
I have a problem I need some advice for. A year ago, I purchased my Amami for the purpose of GPS-navigation on my bicycle. It always worked fine and I was able to charge it with my dynohub without any issues. The charging is giving me a headache now though, and all troubleshooting points at the phone being the problem.
Now, a couple months ago I decided to ditch 4.4 and go for a custom ROM (I've tried Oreo and Pie) which worked fine, but the phone doesn't charge as well as it used to on my bike. I'd like to go back to stock to see if that's what is causing the issue and used the Xperia Flashtool to revert to a stock image, but the ones that used to work on the phone now give me bootloops after I've flashed TWRP and ResurrectionRemix and Lineage OS.
Is there anything I need to know before I flash a stock firmware with the tool? Any input would be appreciated.
Sounds like to have not updated to Lolipop and therefore you do not have real recovery. Is your bootloader unlocked? Then you can try EMMA to update to Lollipop.

My bootloader is unlocked, I have TWRP installed and am currently running Lineage OS (Android 8). It doesn't matter if I flash Sony's original Kitkat or Lollipop; both will have bootloops. No offense, but I'm not sure you understood my original post: I'd like to go back to an old stock ROM, because 4.4 is the one that I'm sure have me no trouble with charging on my bike.
Proper BL relock:

If you use twrp in fotakernel partition maybe necassary to write back original fotakernel.sin (inside stock.ftf) before relock with flashtool. Remember! After relock with flastool the new BL unlock key here: DEVICESERIAL \ unlock.txt
I watched a few videos on YouTube on how to upgrade the Android O/S but none of them mentioned that it needs to unlock the bootloader 1st.
So before I found out that I need to unlock it I tried installing ROM before I knew that.
The phone came with Android Kitkat 4.4.2 and there is an official Lollipop for it that I want to install.
The device is rooted with Kingroot.
I tried the installations two times and the phone still works but I can no longer boot into recovery mode or fastboot mode. It just hangs and then I need to remove the battery to get it to work again.
I just want to restore it back to what it was before and then I will work on unlocking the bootloader.
I prefer to use tools that are free of cost.
Issue has been resolved.
I flashed the device with a pac file using SPD upgrade tool and now all is back to default.

Hi. I recently messed up my phone (Y560-U02)! Please help me.
Can you please tell me where I can find the "pac file" and "SPD upgrade tool"?

You meant un-official, right?
Sorry for the delay. I check the linked email once per month.
Do you still need help on this?
I thought that it was official Lollipop. But it does not exist for this phone.
Yes I can help you get it to what ever you need but it is not easy if you want to do more than just resorted it back to default.
I will tell you more if you still need it.
