[Q] F180L - deleted all firmware, system, data. stuck on bootlock

Please help, I accidentally deleted system, firmware, data and sdcard and now stuck on bootlock keeps rebooting and possibly soft bricked?
Status: fastboot, unlocked, secureboot, CWRM recovery
I can still access fastboot, recovery and download mode. + I have backup on my desktop but I can't put it back - device not found - won't recognize usb storage, how can I adb push if device can't be detected?
Tried updating again with different firmwares but I always receive error phone disconnected etc, tried reattaching again still same problem persists.
Tried tinybin + lgnpst but I get error failed switching to diag mode, but I don't think I need to because I can access recovery mode and download mode anyway but I can't access internal sd card so I
I was trying to update the firmware but it wouldn't work, tried over 30 times... on different operating systems, windows 8, windows 7, and windows SP3 via virtual machines. tried kdz updater and uptest from flashtool with different kdz firmwares. so I tried doing a full factory reset, still wouldn't flash so I tried deleting the all mounted folders on CWRM recovery mode and now stuck on bootlock.
Possibly driver problems? I think I can push files with adb sideload but it can't detect my device or I'm doing it wrong... sorry I'm new to this adb thingy.
Anyone?
Many thanks for reading...

Yes, I can but it won't get detected... that's the main problem I can't restore the backup...

Change adb drivers and use latest twrp for adb sideload

Thanks, will try after I get home. You mean sideload twrp and not efs backup zip or recovery.img or boot.img. sorry again real new to this, never used adb or sideloading before.

Change ur recovery to twrp in fastboot.. use adb naked driver

hey I did what you told me to do, and TWRP now works. Now what? it says no OS installed on reboot menu. Removable disk is shown but cannot be accessed. What do I do now?? Thx again!
Recap, device now gets detected by adb and fastboot, but I don't think I can restore the backup I made using CWRM, and when I tried to make a backup using TWRP and then went to restore it shows nothing but if I check file manager it's there.
Partitions on TWRP
Boot 24MB
Recovery 24MB
System 34MB
Data 0MB
Cache 13MB
EFS 2MB
I have backup for CWRM 1.6GB in size with system.ext4, data.ext4, nandroid, recovery and boot img. SBF backup made from rom manager and efs backup.
What to do now?
adb push the 1.6GB backup then install CWRM then restore it?
flash custom rom like CM 10.2 - 4.3 and gapps 4.3?
I don' want to turn my soft brick into hard brick.

Yee because it is in CWM format that's why.. adb push the ur backup using twrp.. replace twrp with cwm and restore or if not just flash a stock modded rom.. CWM has issues with adb drivers.

hey, do you know where can I find the link to clockword mod recovery and not the rom manager? img or zip file? can't find it.
I tried flashing recovery-clockwork-swipe-6.0.4.3-mako and recovery-clockwork-swipe-6.0.4.6-hammerhead but it doesn't work... goes to bootlock so I flashed TWRP again...

Hey I tried some from android development subforum, still doesn't work its either stuck on google loading screen or bootlock so I can't use my CWMR backup. Tried like 5 different versions from different sources.
Tried installing CM + gapps but I keep getting "kernel crash error". It keeps crashing after 30 seconds or 3min but I managed to get it working nonetheless.
I used "cm-10.1.3-e975" and "pa_gapps-full-4.2-20130710-signed"
What exact version did you use? Any specific custom rom that would help me boot properly?
Yay! not soft bricked anymore just crashes a lot...

Finally fixed it. flashed CM 10.2 and gapps. only problem is I lost my imei and I have no modem and signal... To get my imei back, if I remember correctly I need to flash my efs backup? is it safe?
Do I need to flash both baseband or modem? which one? both and which is first??
Three files I found and saved just in case something like this happens...
cwm-lgog_f180l_modem.zip
F180L-Baseband.zip
F180LtoE975_BB.zip

ADB driver for lg optimus g

[Q] Cant boot to recovery (SOLVED)

Hi guys!
After I restored my 5.0.2 nandroid backup from 5.1.1, I forgot to wipe dalvik/cache.
Now the device boots, but i cant access recovery (red notification light on boot).
After it comes up, almost every process is stopped, and after less than a minute the device reboots.
Does anybody have a solution?

I would try fastboot. If you can flash any boot and recovery IMG combo that would get you into recovery, you could re-restore your backup. Lots of files available for download in the forums. If you don't have fastboot set up, and don't want to, maybe just reflash ROM and re-root, since rooting 5.0 is not a big deal. Then you could get back to recovery.

Probably not without recovery. If your bl is unlocked, you can use fastboot on your PC to get into recovery. Start with this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118

LG G4 - Boot problem - Download mode works

Hi,
I have problem with my LG G4 (H815). I has stacked at boot screen and sometimes it is able to boot to home screen but after a few second of work, it restarts again. Few days ago the situation was the same but after a few attempts it booted normally. I can normally enter recovery mode and download mode.
Has anyone idea what to do to recover data (photos) from it?
I will probably try to flash stock firmware via LG Tool but I don't know which version is now installed and I cannot find a proper kdz file.
Can anyone help to find a proper kdz file for this phone? and give a link to quide how to flash phone without wipe data?

I don't have TWRP installed. If I have and access to download mode and stock recovery, is there any method that let me install TWRP to recovery data, if I can't boot to home screen?

o when you mentioned recovery i wasnt expecting the stock recovery.. so does your phone boot.? does it have the infamous bootloop when you see logo and it reboots again into a bootloop sometimes optimizing apps then reboots..?
if so i think the only way to recover data its to use the freezer method.. search for it... sorry
if its bootloop then its hardware and needs to be sent to LG just make sure the moisture strips arent allow to get losit or water.

is there any way to force bootloop???? with a kdz file or changing something with root permision ??? i need to send my phone to the SAT

You need to have an unlocked bootloader to do so.
What are the first 3 digits of your serial number (sticker behind battery)
If it starts with 5xx your chances are good to have the boot loop issue which is hardware related.
Try the freezer method to recover and send the device to LG for replacement.

SuperSU/TWRP boot issue

Hi to everyone.
I have a LG G4 H815, unlocked bootloader, with CyanogenMod 14.1 Rom
I wanted to update the SuperSU database, I try what they called the "normal" mode but it didn't work.
Then I tried the TWRP mode, the phone booted into Recovery and install a script named OpenRecoveryScript or something like that.
Since the phone is stucked on Cyanogen Animation Boot.
Does Anyone have an idea on how to fix this ?
Thanks a lot.

Get into TWRP, factory reset, and restore back to a previous save. If you don't have that, you'll have to factory reset and reinstall CM.

LGUP and KDZ. refurbished option. reinstall recovery again.

If LGUP and KDZ doesn't work, install LG Bridge on your computer. Use the stock charging cable and plug it into the PC. Power off your phone and hold Vol+ and plug in the the micro USB to the phone. It should boot into download mode and your computer should install drivers and LG Bridge should recognize the device. Use LG Bridge to update your phone to the latest official build. After that, follow the standard instructions to install TWRP.

Why? Do you have twrp installed? If YES use the hardware key combo to go into factory reset! If you see the white background with the question for factory reset follow the instructions there to do so.
If.... I say IF ! you have twrp installed this will NOT do anything else then booting into twrp. From there you can install the supersu zip wiping dalvik or just restore a previous backup.

I re-install everything from KDZ and everything is fine now thanks
I had TWRP installed but didnt know why since the supersu update i totally lost access to the recovery.
Thanks again for your help

G7 doesn't boot after flashing modified boot.img

So, i bought a G7 a few days ago and now i wanted to flash aosp pie. I succesfully unlocked the bootloader and then proceded to flash twrp from this tutorial: https://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/twrp-download-for-lg-g7-and-rooting-guide/ . After i flashed the twrp image through fastboot, i wanted to go into the recovery, but i didn't see how (only later i realized there is an option in bootloader to power off). So i restarted and started to bootloop. In the end i figured out how to get into recovery, by hard resetting the device. But in twrp i couldn't mount any partition or flash anything. Researching more, i found out that i had to be rooted first, which wasn't specified in the tutorial. I went back into bootloader and flashed the boot.img from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/development/mod-v16-t3808363 . After rebooting, the phone didn't even show the lg boot animation, and stays on the lg g7 logo. I can't get into the recovery with the hard reset method and i don't know how to power it off. What should i do?
Update: the phone just went off, i think it ran out of battery since it has been in this state for the whole night. I went into bootloader. What to do?

Charge the phone and See if phone goes into download mode then try to flash stock with lg up.. https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-stock-firmware-lock-t3820888

Ok, it worked. Thank you!

So after flashing the stock os and reflashing twrp, it doesn't see my sdcard when trying to flash. It also doesn't appear in mnt or other folders in the file manager.

The data partition can't be mounted because it is encrypted from stock. You have to format it first. There is still no support for the sdcard and otg but maybe soon.

Edit: TWRP go to wipe menu -> down right button to completely wipe
