Hi,
I was using my phone and after trying to flash a ElementalX kernel, it kind of bricked. I'm not able to init OOS, it says that phone need to be factory reseted. But, when i do the factory reset, it freezes in one of the first screens of setting up Android, when i was suposed to choose a network to set it up.
I've already tryied to do the "factory reset" under TWRP and Stock Recovery.
I also tryied to flash a full ROM over ADB Sideload, but i always get the message "
Code:
C:\adb>adb sideload oos.zip
loading: 'oos.zip'
* cannot read 'oos.zip' *

Known issue no clue how to solve. But there is a work around! Get into twrp and type "adb push zipfilename /sdcard/ in CMD, make sure you phone is connected! Now go to Install and go to /sdcard/ tadaah!

Flash latest TWRP
Take complete backup of data to PC
Flash some ROM. Freedom or Experience recommended if you want Stock.
If it still gives problem, then FORMAT (not wipe) in TWRP (will erase all your data).
Flash ROM from OTG or copy back to phone through MTP and then flash.
Good luck :good:
That i use after many many wrong go test.

hi, recently i decieded to install CM11 on my samsung galaxy nexus, i downloded it and then i reset facotry my phone, but when i wanted to install it from Bootloader i got an error, then i thohgt it cause of old bootloader so i wanted to update it but THE problem showed up, i cant come into my android it wont be come, please help me out
If all you did was a normal factory reset, it should boot up fine. If you did something like wiped system, then you need to get to a computer and use ADB. If you wiped system then you have nothing to boot to
i think i do that too, but i got a backup too, what is ADB, how should i use it ?
the error is: set_metadata_recursive: some change failed

If you have a backup though, why cant you just restore the backup? Can you not get into the recovery anymore?
kinda curious, OP why didnt you just wipe everything in recovery mode and flash it??
1) adb reboot bootloader
2) fastboot flash recovery ***recovery.img*** (i like to rename the image to "recovery" for the ease of my own useage)
3) press vol rocker to recovery mode and flash away!
I personally use TWRP, but a lot of people prefer CWM, they are both amazingly easy to use.
worst case, you flash the stock 4.3 image from google to get everything back on track.
Guys I have a big problem!
For about a month I have on the galaxy nexus rom slimkat + kernel dfk and until tonight I had not any problems, until this evening the phone has rebooted and the disaster happened, the boot animation was jerky and the phone has put more than 5 minutes to power, however going slow, and even after I have booted the phone is super slow, it's all jerky and unusable.
From recovery I tried to wipe system, but even if the message confirming correct operation, it really does not matter because if I reboot the phone loads the system, even if ever so slow and jerky.
I also tried to use the Nexus root toolkit but nothing, when I try to reflash stock hangs the command "writing system" and does not go forward ... I do not know what else to try.
I also tried using fastboot commands, but nothing changes ... not the operations are successful and the changes are not applied.
Please help me! Thank you very much!
Wipe system, cache, data, dalvik cache and internal.. Then flash stock factory image and then install roms
Wipe from recovery do not work.
I tried to flash from toolkit the stock factory image, but hangs on the command "writing system".
There is another way to flash it??
Yes..you can to flash another recovery with nexus root toolkit. Boot into android and enable usb debugging in dev. options, connect gnex with PC and flash recovery (cwm or twrp or philz, not STOCK) and then wipe..

I've tried, the procedure seems to be successful but the recovery does not really change.
I also tried to flash the stock rom with odin, well after the half-hour procedure is successful, the phone has rebooted but nothing, everything remained as before, with the old rom.
I do not know what to think anymore, I try recovery, toolkit, fastboot and odin but nothing.
I came to doubt that it may be a hardware problem with the internal memory of the phone, do not you?
Thank you!
Try to boot into recovery temporary with nexus root toolkit if you can't to flash..this can help to wipe all and brick gnex

I boot into temporary recovery and i do successfuly all wipe, but when I restarted the system, nothing has changed, loaded the old rom
I do not know what to do!
If you wiped, system can't be rebooted. I really don't have more ideas
Maybe you have problem with hardware.

Hi guys I am trying to get my phone in some sort of working order. I have CWM Recovery 6.0.5.1 for some reason no matter what I do to change the recovery it stays the same. I've tried installing lower CWM and also tried installing TWRP which again it says it was installed but when i go to recovery it still shows the CWM recovery. I installed CM11 and it worked fine, when I installed gapps is when the problems started. I've tried install multiple roms now, and it just doesn't want to take anything

try restoring a stock nandroid backup. if you dont have one then download one from general thread. and also make a nandroid backup of your current rom. not so sure what your problem is but maybe returning to pure stock will help.
I am trying to load the nandroid but I cannot get this recovery to work right. I've tried installing openrecovery-twrp to install the nandroid but i cant get the CWM to remove. I really dont mind what bootloader is on there but anything just to install any rom

Install/flash via fastboot the official cwm 6.0.51 that you had. then try again. if your lucky then it might work.

Get TWRP Manager from the play store. Hit the three line menu thingy on the top left of the app, and pick install TWRP. Super easy.
Ok guys ive tried reinstalling the same CWM version and reinstalling CM11 with no luck. I cannot change the bootloader to TWRP because it appears to be stuck on the CWM. The problem started for me when I installed the gapps through CWM, as soon as I did that when the phone went to boot it now says please enter the password for android, then says it was the right password but data is corrupt and cant use phone.
Is there a way to attempt to just format the entire phone including partition size and start from scratch again?

How are you trying to flash these recoveries (they're not called bootloaders, that is something totally separate)?
Have you tried using TWRP Manager as I suggested earlier, or are you using ADB? And If you are using ADB and trying to flash it that way, what fastboot commands are you giving?
There is no way that your should be "stuck" with CWM.
Okay what i have to do is fastboot its the only thing i can get to work. Not at my computer but yeah i fastboot the recovery img via cmd in windows. Fastboot flash recovey i use ane it successfully does. Doesnt matter what img or recovery i use when i boot into recovery it still uses cwm. Also only way i can put a rom on is adb sideload but now thats even failing with status 7 error
Also when i try the command fastboot oemRUU or whatever the command is it reboots the phone shows CM logo and boots till asking for android pw

The status 7 error is because of an outdated recovery. Not much help, I know.
It's strange that the TWRP Manager doesn't work. I've helped others with problems flashing recovery, and it has worked for them.
You could also try ROM Toolbox to update your CWM, or ROM Manager, but ROM Toolbox is better/more complete. It has everything ROM Manager has plus some.
The other option that you may not want to take is to do a COMPLETE wipe of your phone. That always sucks.
Going to try those programs. Thank you btw and how do i perform the full wipe i was about to throw the phone out lol.
@thetinyjesus You could also try this app. No PC necessary.
Thanks but cannot use the app i cannot get the phone to boot. Do you have directions for a full wipe

Actually, you full wipe in recovery. lol
If you haven't tried TWRP Manager yet, that would be my first choice.
Damn that didnt work than i tried all those format options in the bunked recovery with no luck it sucks
If you're using the command prompt to flash the recovery, provide a screenshot of your desktop so that we can see what you're doing and what "it's" doing.
Starting to think that it's more of an "operator" fault and not anything to do with the device that doesn't want to play along.
Okay once im back home ill show the output
Here is the output from flashing the recovery. Once again when I went to recovery it loaded with CWM.
Also here is the output from sideloading the cm file again (same error no matter what rom I try)

Anyone?
I've followed youtube videos and other sites to enter recovery mode but all i get is an option to factory reset or to exit. I've held down the volume down and power key together until the LG logo appears and then let go of the power key after a second.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

What android version are you running? And how did you install the recovery img? And which one? If you installed the recovery properly and want to enter via hardware buttons it's the correct procedure.
--> If you're in the LG Stock recovery (where it asks you if you want to wipe your phone) just click yes twice and you'll boot into TWRP or clockworkmod (Whatever you've installed). I know that's a dumb way but it works
Note: If you didn't install the recovery correctly you will then wipe your phone!!!
To find out if you've done everything correctly with your recovery (and if you're rooted) just use the app Quick Boot from the play store, grant permissions and reboot into recovery. If you've done everything correctly you will be in recovery mode then And you can be sure that everything is setup correctly and use the hardware button method to access recovery (Just like I told you).

Nope and yes - There's only the option to factory reset if you don't have a custom recovery installed. Sorry to bear the bad news I thought you had a custom Recovery installed and don't know how to enter it. There's no stock-like recovery to access on the G4. Sorry :crying:

Do this, install lgup on pc, plug in usb, start lgup, let it detect on com port, click com port, ui will open, then click pbone info, it establishes avalid usb connection to phone, when it has, start adb prompt and type ' adb flash recovery (recovery image name) when done type adb reboot recovery and you're in recovery.
Just remember twrp recovery image must be in same folder as adb istalled to)

does this work on stock MM 20A or 20B without unlocking bootloader. i'd do it even if its just temporary to wipe cache and return to stock recovery after the wipe. factory reset just is too much to start from scratch with installs and setups. i am Never Buying a LG phone ever. it was my mistake
I have an unlocked bootloader, twrp (2.8.7), root and on MM V20a, Stock.
I can boot into revocery via adb reboot bootloader / fastboot recovery boot twrp, all works fine (excecpt that I cant access the external exfat sd card with cm12/cm13 based roms).
But I cant boot with Power on /Vol down keys intoTWRP recovery.
Altough I can boot in LG factory reset menu but if I perform that it wipe indeed to facotory reset no way to reboot in recovery.
I try it a couple of time without success. Also I try differnt key combinations (Power on / Vol Up + Vol down etc.), around 15 times.
Also I cant use tools like "Quick Boot" I try 4 or 5 diverents the result is always the same - android on the back with open hatch.
When I try to boot on CM12/CM13 via Power Menu directly to recovery the same effect occurs.
Whats gos wrong? Where is my mistake?
If you flashed TWRP, the "LG Factory Reset" menu will still show up. Just confirm 2 times with yes there, and TWRP will get started . Bit confusing, I know.

As I wrote - when I do this a factory reset is performed - no recovery.
Thats is my problem and unfortunately not the solution.

So there is no option to clean system cache without installing custom recovery?...
Has anyone seen the OP3 automatically revert back to stock recovery no matter how many times TWRP is successfully installed via fastboot?
At first I thought it was the "Advanced reboot" enabled causing it since when "recovery" is selected from within the OS power button menu, a "factory data reset" message appears prior to reboot....BUT I tried cycling the phone with "Advanced reboot" disabled and a clean install of TWRP working - and it still didn't stick. Regardless, whenever I enter the OS and then either turn the phone OFF or manually reboot it, the stock recovery gets automatically rewritten.
Could that annoying "device unlocked" pre-boot warning message be the cause? Do I need to relock the bootloader and/or disable "OEM unlocking"?
To confirm, I currently have the OP3 bootloader unlocked and NOT rooted (need Android Pay). The same issue occurs with the OP3 running OOS 3.1.2, 3.1.3, and 3.2.0.
I never had this issue with my OnePlus 1 so I am a little bewildered why this keeps happening.
Scott-
Which developers TWRP are you using? I had that happen, I forget which one I was on. Grarak 's TWRP works great and doesn't revert back to stock recovery.

Yes, TWRP by Grarak. I have not tried the "official" TWRP yet.
To confirm, all you do is:
1. Enable USB debugging, OEM unlock, and Advanced reboot...
2. Reboot in to the bootloader and decrypt user data via "fastboot format user data" (not required{??})
3. Allow the phone to wipe and re-establish itself...
4. Set the phone up again....enabling USB debugging, OEM unlock, and Advanced reboot...
5 Reboot in to the bootloader and unlock the bootloader via fastboot oem unlock...
6. Allow the phone to wipe and re-establish itself...
7. Set the phone up again....enabling USB debugging, OEM unlock, and Advanced reboot....
8. Go back in to the bootloader and Install TWRP via "fastboot flash recovery <TWRP.img>...
That is it, yes?
It seems relocking the bootloader doesn't do anything for me. Also, even though I decrypted the user data partition, it still shows the "encrypt phone" being "encrypted" within the Security & fingerprint menu. Maybe something related is blocking the recovery image from sticking past a reboot.
Thanks,
Scott-
I also had this problem with one of the other unofficial TWRPs. Grarak's TWRP worked in the end.
You need to allow TWRP to modify the system partition. If you said to leave it read-only on first boot, it will revert to stock recovery.
The problem is if you flash TWRP now, it wont give you that option again. To find it, reflash, boot into TWRP, go to Mount and change it towards the bottom where it says Mount system partition read-only.

Needing root and having root are two different things. Flashing Magisk immediately after flashing TWRP will solve the issue. If you don't want root at all, I don't know of any other method to solve this.
