i was on a cwm before but it ended up flashing a new one and thats when i started having problems now no recovery stuck at lg logo and i know my battery is low

The first thing I would do is pull your battery, wait a few minutes, put the battery back in and connect the charging cable. It may not want to boot but it will charge the battery while the phone is off. Get your battery charged first, then worry about getting it up and running again.
Keep in mind I'm not picking at you or anyone. But why would someone choose to flash a Rom designed for one version to another version? I know our devs make tweaks to allow one to run on the other but it's a chance I wouldn't take. If you have the E980, stick to E980 Roms. It's risky enough flashing Roms as it is because no two devices are the same. You know what I mean? And don't smash you phone. There are many smart people here that can get you up and running again. Smash the phone and you will be upset with yourself later....trust me. I did it and I was pissed at myself later when I found out it was easy to fix....stay calm....lol

i know i knew i should not have idk ive been flashing zips for a very long time guess it happened to still get the best of me even though i read through the thread and i seen a couple e980 users saying it worked haha well not for me i just hope i can get her back up and going soft bricks are ok its when i cant fix this that makes me crazy. slammed around my dual monitors and almost went after my evga build which would not have been good. Man i can not thank u enough i even had to make another account my old one was lows10 and i guess it was inactive for to long but been here since 07 only place i trust to exploit my devices.

Well I'm not the smartest person here. I just got this phone about a month ago and I haven't even got flashing it back to stock down pat yet. It's a work in progress....lol. But just get your battery charged for now. Then you will most likely have to flash it back to stock. I don't know if you have done this process yet on that phone but if you have then you know basically what you need to do. Just don't go flashing any more Roms made for other versions of the g pro....lol

this will be my 3rd time flashing back to stock but with my phone not being read as a e980 i cant get back to stock.

Did you use the Lg Flash Tools method?

Yes lg flash tool has worked perfect until now after that ROM

Ok. Give this method a try....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459825....I don't know if it will work for ya as it didn't work for me. But hey, you gotta try something and maybe you will get luck and it will work for you. Give it a go and see what happens.

Lol idk it thinks its a g2 then it FCS

Tricky bugger it's gonna be ah? Did you try running it in Administrator mode? Be sure to follow the steps exactly as he lays them out.

Well in the left it says lge988at maybe thats why it isnt working with the lg flash? Grrrr idk this sucks and it keeps stopping working and its not in english

It has to be on com 41. I have noticed the lg flash tools method can be hit and miss with allot of people. I finally got it down pat enough to get it to work every time. You could try doing it this way........http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476........He gives a link to a newer lg flash tools. Maybe you will have better results.

damn it still closes with that its right after it gets done loading my phone i guess i cant flash a e988 stock and see if that works? thats what it reads it as right before it closes idk maybe its cause 8.1 but dont think so the app doesnt even open in english idk seems like everyone elses is.

Honestly I don't know why it isn't in English. It is for me but I'm on the stock E980 FW. All I can think is you, somehow, flashed the Korean version of the F240. Just as a precaution I keep a flashable stock 10k on my sd card just in case the need for it arises. But not being able to get into recovery isn't helping your cause here. Keep an eye on the battery as well. If it starts draining down too far just power it off and let it charge more so you don't get so involved with the phone you forget. The problem for me is I'm more of a hands-on person. it's harder for this type of person to walk someone through fixing a gadget.....lol.
An honestly man, I don't know how else to help you. Hopefully someone allot smarter than me is gonna come along any minute now that will know exactly how to fix this issue. All I can suggest now is to keep searching the forum for this type of problem and find a solution. Just don't lose your temper or give up. The solution is here somewhere. I'll search around too. See what I can dig up.

exactly what i thought man ahhh and idk why its not in english either i mean im on my pc there should be no reason for it not to work. Idk I appreciate all your help. havent been in trouble like this since back years and years ago on the old first gen g1 hahahah. and ya flashing the Korean version of the F240 is what i did i really hope there is a way to fix this i had a backup but external sd card quit working so tranfered it on the phone when it still worked flashed back seemed fine went to try flash the e980 baseband and still no good now im just stuck. tempted to try and see if the e988 will work since it wont flash the stock e980 sorry for keep on talking im just going crazy.

It's all good man. I understand your frustration. I have been doing this for a long time now as well. Most of my experience is with moto's and Samsungs. Now I'm learning all over again with another phone myself. But anywho, yeah, give that a try. Flash the e988 if you can. At least if it works you can get into your recovery and sd card to try and flash it back to stock from there and be back on the E980 fw. It's like going around your ass to get to your elbow but hey, if it works who cares right?.....lol. And if you get it working again I suggest putting a flashable stock zip on your sd card just in case. But as I said before, It doesn't help if you cant get into recovery. But when you can it can be a life saver.
I do remember reading there are permission issues if you're running windows 8 or 8.1 on that last method I linked you to. You may want to look into how to overcome that issue and try again. If you haven't already that is.

Hmm at least it says e980 now but can't get past this

new 2.0KK ..Network is gone if i change ROm!

Hi everyone,
i had the " stupid idea " to update my oppo find 7a to official coloros 2.0 KK !
I didn't like it so much and then i decided to go back to Dirty Unicorn BUT once done that i could not get any NETWORK working!
Following some other user suggestion i went back to 1.2.4 (they say booloader is unlocked) but still couldn't have network working!
SO far the only way to have my network back is to load COLOROS 2.0 KK..
can anyone please tell me how can i have my network BACK on any other rom than coloros 2.0??
thank you so much!

SOLUTION
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!
FIRST i had to find the OLD (1.2.3 ) oppo recovery (link: http://d-h.st/pfR )
i INSTALLED it from fastboot
than always in fastboot i did FASTBOOT OEM UNLOCK
then i boot into recovery.. installed Oppo coloros 1.2.4 ( seems to have bootloader unlocked )
now ive 1.2.4 and i'm gonna install back dirty unicorn.. probably will work !!!!!!!!
YES I CONFIRM.. it works..
so for all of those having problems with color os 2.0 kk and decide to go back to other ROM(and having issues on calling ) just do as i did ..

Glad you got it working again.
I have a friend who bought his Find 7a x9007 second hand with no mobile connectivity. It has ColorOS 2.0.1i installed and I was wondering if the situation is similar to yours. I will try to fix it tonight but I have one question. At which point did you get your connectivity back? After installing ColorOS 1.2.4 or after installing Dirty Unicorns?

The easiest guaranteed way to get connectivity and custom rom support back up and running after an official KitKat update is to restore the phone to ColorOS 1.2.5 using the Sahara package from here: http://d3bzg7dsosz4ht.cloudfront.net/OTA/Find7/FIND7WX_12_A.09_140810.tgz
After restoring the phone via Sahara it will be fully reset and you can do whatever you want from there.

Thanks. Downloading now. However, I need to ask two more things. Is this Sahara package international or chinese version? I'm asking bcs I'm going the flash it to a chinese model (x9007). Finally, is it OK to flash it with "TWRP mod for ColorOS" or do I need ColorOS recovery?
Edit:
I've got the file but it's not a flashable zip. How do I flash it? Google search gave me no results!
Edit2:
I found the instructions. Now I only need confirmation that it will work on the x9007. Any feedback will be much appreciated.
Edit3:
I got too impatient and used the tool anyway. It worked like charm. I saw the progress bars while flashing all partitions and in the end it got green. I rebooted the phone and it had gone back to ColorOS 1.2.5i but, guess what, I still had no GSM/3G signal. Then I thought, hey, this tool flashed an international version, so I probably need a Chinese baseband. So I used modded TWRP and flashed modem pack 1.2.5 by zixuan. Rebooted and to my great disappointment, I still had no signal!!! So, I decided to go one step further. I installed a genuine Chinese ROM (v1.2.0) and after rebooting, I still had no signal!!!
I'm about to tell my friend to sell his phone for parts, unless you, gurus, have any further suggestions...

Well, in my case, it seems that someone had tampered with the antenna RF cable. As soon as I replaced it, the phone worked normally and I had no problem installing and using Nameless Lollipop over a Chinese baseband. My friend is happy with his phone now!

Oneplus 3 Problem after unbrick

Hello, Good Day to all! I wont take too much of your time but please help me!
My Oneplus 3 suddenly bricked itself, I dont know how or why but it just powered off and then when I tried to boot it up it was hard bricked. Now I've managed to fix it by following the Mega Unbrick guide for Oneplus 3 and it boots up, but the problem is it crashes during boot, and it randomly crashes after a few minutes which then leads to the boot logo crash, I have to "let it rest" so to speak for a few minutes so that it would bypass the boot crashes. Once it got past the crashes some apps are not responding like Twitter, Messenger and so on. Stock apps are fine it's the newly downloaded ones that are not responding, I tried numerous factory resets using the stock recovery and TWRP but no luck.
I am on Nougat 7.1.1 on the latest OxygenOS version, Unlocked bootloader with systemless root. I haven't tried flashing a custom rom the only thing I tried to flash was the Stock Rom. I also noticed that the WiFi and the Data/Signal was particularly weaker since the messages would not load, I need to actually check the app for it to sync. When I got Messenger somehow working, the messages would not even load up.
Any ideas what the problem is? Any help is deeply appreciated, Thanks in Advance!

Hi.. Good Day
This may be a motherboard issue why don't u give ur phone to service center to get it checked up once

This sounds like an hardware issue, have you tried method 2 of the unbrick tool, perhaps you could try to re-download it, have you unzipped it? If it boots let it boot and then upgrade to a new OOS version and then you can do whatever you want. If it doesn't work after you followed my suggestions you might wanna contact Oneplus, don't worry even though your bootloader is unlocked you still have full warranty..

I did the method 2 of the unbrick tool, I've done it like twice or thrice now. I have the latest version of OOS, I am afraid to flash a custom rom because after it flashes in TWRP it immediately crashes, it does not even give me a chance to clear the dalvik or reboot. It crashes no reboot or anything.
But thank you I didn't expect anyone would reply well I regained my faith in humanity in forums
Sidenote: What custom rom would you suggest? or is the stock rom better?

I would suggest VertexOS. It's simple and really fast, EAS and Voxpopuli takes peformance per watt to the next level, if you like feature you might try Zenixx RR.

OP3 phone is un-usable please help!

Hi everyone,
I have an issue with my wife's OP3 that is driving me nuts.
Her phone runs stock OS without any changes but with an unlocked bootloader (just to be on the safe side i like to have an unlocked bootloader on all our devices).
I'm not sure if its related but I'm including it anyways she was playing a game on her phone and then she received a call and she answered it and tried to switch the call to speakerphone and the phone started rebooting right after booting the OS after 2-5 sec i would say "factory data reset" (see attached screenshot) and would reboot to the recovery.
then i would boot the phone again and the issue repeats itself.
so i used fastboot boot twrp.img to boot a recovery image and run a nadroid backup to a USB OTG just in case the phone is really hosed or whatnot.
I downloaded stock zip from oneplus's site and flashed it again from TWRP just to make sure its not some funky issue that happened to the os.
I even factory reset the phone from stock recovery and the issue would happen on the new phone setup wizard.
after a bunch of fiddling around I've flashed LineageOS 16 nightly and the phone boots normally and is fully usable but when i try to make or receive a call the phone app freezes and then crashes also sound doesn't seem to work when i try to play videos from youtube for example.
Any ideas what is the issue and how i can resolve it ?
thanks a bunch !!

Take a backup of your personal files and then wipe system, data, internal storage and both caches. Then flash OOS 5.0.8 and without adding any apps, check the calling function. If it still happens, then most likely a hardware issue.

No, She did not do anything out of the ordinary. But weirdly I have exactly the same things happening. Lineage works but no sound. Everything else factory resets. I have tried quite a few ROM'swithout any luck. So far the only ROM which worked for some time(1day) was 6.0.1 . I have spent quite a long time on this flashing various ROM and dont know what to do now.

Update: @ireaper4592 might have a point here. I have gone one level up and I tried msm v3.0 tool, thus doing a complete reinstall including firmware. The factory resetting stopped but the sound was not working (I thought that it could be the ROM and the security patches). So I updated to the latest ROM available from Oneplus and evrything has been working since. I did this last night so not sure how long this is going to stay like that. I will give it some time and update later. Wife is using it now!

what you will need to do is download the oneplus 3 recovery tool and put the phone into qualcolm mode and restore the phone that way. here is a link https://www.androidexplained.com/oneplus-3-unbrick-return-stock/

That tool/procedure will reset your phone. So you will lose everything on the phone. Take a backup beforehand.
The link posted in the post above yours contains the guide as well as the tools. It also has links to the original guide here on XDA.

Thank you for all your help!

I was about to update here with good news but wife's phone went back to restart loop the next day. I am not sure but probably triggered by her installing whatsapp and facebook. I put the phone away because I have already spend quite a lot of time behind this. Is your's still going? Please list the step by step procedure. Thanks

i would give it a try ^^

But your replying to me. I'd be shredding cables by now lol, but hey, is it possible your fone is a rebranded redmi 6 pro? Plenty of tuts here for that, but I'll try to help/guide you should you need it, tell me, what stock flashing application will you use to flash your stock BACK in case of a mistake?

the problem is that the vendor from china put some crippled stock rom on my phone where they removed the system update service and so i cant do a local update with the phone. my rm 6 telegram group suggested that i install the qcom 9008 usb driver on my pc and boot my phone via adb into qcom 9008 edl mode and use miflash to flash it with a 4.15 unbrick package and if this would work i would have intact system update again and could flash it with a local update with the firmware id like. thanks for the help btw. gotta go out in 5 minutes but be back in a bit. please give me your opinion, i will read it once im back

What you wrote sounds good. Your flashing app is miflash. Download the 4.14 unbrick, and load it into miflash without fone plugged in, power fone OFF, start the miflash, hit download/flash (dont know the actual button to do the damage), then plug turned off fone into usb, miflash should auto find and flash, anything after that, feel free to ask.
Ps you could just jump in the deep end and flash the one you WANT, so that if it fails you'll know if it works or not, and will have tested a rom before flashing your stock back, kinda better than flashing stock first in a way.

thanks for the suggestions! i want to give this a try as soon as i have some time. buthow do i backup my current stock rom in case the new rom wont work? i only know about rom manager app but that needs a rooted phone and mines isnt rooted. is there a way to backup the stock rom without having a rooted device?

Forget backing that up, your already at the stage where you learn if you back this up now, you MAY also back up the problem and have to do it all again, take my advice, keep it simple.
For your 'backup' - download latest official stock from your fone maker.
You may want to revert back AFTER you test the one you want to test.
So test first while it's 'broken' knowing once you go back to stock, it aint broke, dont fix it.

hey there! thanks for your tips, i appreciate it! ok just to clear things up, with "stock" firmware, you mean the official latest chinese firmware from the chinese nubia page, right?

Yup, if thats what you know is your STOCK, ie, not the one you wanna test, but in your scenario, I'd flash the test before stock, this way you gain experience flashing, and if you mess up, then you flash the stock, and learn not to. (again lol)
To clarify, stock is the firmware the fone maker has on their site.
Follow thir instructions, it's easier than you think, as my auld man told me, when testing, write down every step, so you REMEMBER instead of being unsure because I forgot....

ok i got it. thanks for the help! i have the stock ready on my computer. unfortunately i cant flash my phone by following the manufacturers steps because my phone vendor flashed my phone with some custom chinese multi language firmware with google already pre installed. and whoever edited this firmware before flashing it on my new phone, removed the system service that is necessary to launch the "system update" options. therefore i have no way of making a local firmware update in my phone. unfortunately the red magic 6 pro also does not have a local update option in the recovery menu. thats why my only option is flashing the phone with my computer. but in the worst case i will have the latest stock rom on my phone in the end and this will have the system update options intact. thanks again for all the help!
