I have just flash the custom 5.0.2 ROM using philz touch 6.48.4.
After I flashed the ROM, I reboot to the philz recovery and flashed back to cwm 6.0.4.8.
However, the device stuck on the LG logo screen.
I have try to enter Download mode/Emergence mode/Hard reset mode/Recovery, but all of them I cannot go into.

Your boot loader is broken. Gonna have to get to the down load mode and reinstall either the or the stock. You can probably flash the recovery with .IMG file with lg flashing tool. Nerdy blond's twrp is one of those files that you can use. You can even try installing it first with the adb shell command, you can get the instructions at the same place where you download.

Thank you for replying.
I cannot do anythings since I cannot enter into download mode.
I pressed volume key + and - and insert the usb cable to computer. There is nothing happened, computer dose not show the devices attached and the phone stay in the LG logo screen.
Also, I cannot use adb commands to force the phone enters into download mode as it shows nothings under "List of devices".
Is there any methods I can go into the download mode???
Thank you!

If your phone shows LG start screen, it should go into Download mode. I had similar problem few days ago while I was testing some kernel patches, it just froze on the LG screen. Solution was to unplug it, remove it's battery, SIM & SD (you don't have to remove SIM & SD, I just work that way) , make sure it's off, return battery back, press Vol + & Vol - at the same time and plug-in the USB cable.
Before that, make sure you have installed LG Unified driver (can be obtained via LG's software from support site), because without that Windows won't recognise your device.
After that, once you make your phone usable with Freegee/whatever you use to install initial recovery, flash official TWRP, because others are too old - that Philz CWM is old but still working with Lollipop but not work good and is tends to lock itself into a bootloop if you use hardware keys to enter; that other one, from GPRO_recovery APK is not supported and not working well (for me since day one), so it should be replaced as soon as possible.
Also, I can suggest you to flash your phone from stock 4.1 (not KitKat), root, flash recovery via freegee and after reboot update to latest official TWRP via Flashify.

Thank you for your detail reply.
I have tried to reinstall the LG driver and try to enter download mode again.
The screen is still stuck on LG logo and I cannot find the device in hardware manager (cannot recognize it).
I cannot do anythings until it can recognize it.
(Is it the bootloader is broken? and can I fix it?)
Thank you very much and waiting for your reply soon.:good:

Which version of Windows are you using? It should be displayed under Serial ports in Device manager (named something like LGE Serial device) and LGFlashTool should recognise it immediately. I can't make you a screenshot/check for real name because I'm running Linux right now and can't reboot.
Also, try with another cable/port, remove all other android drivers you may have (Samsung's, Google's...) and disable antivirus.

OK, it doesn't enter download mode. So, step by step:
- remove battery and leave it for 15-30 seconds, return battery
- press Vol+ and Vol- at the same time and keep them pressed,
- plug USB cable in while keys are pressed
It should immediately put you into download mode, with no LG screen, just black screen with gray box and red text I've described to you.

So, whatever you try to do, phone just shows LG logo, not even a message in an upper left corner?
I'm running out of ideas. I have exact same variant (E988) but only time it didn't want to enter download mode this way was when cable I was using was broken...

I have changed the cable, but it is the same.
Quick background on situation.
I was running CM13 and I still have TWRP 3.0.2-0. I wanted to try out CM14 or some other variant. I went into TWRP Recovery Mode and Advanced WIPED everything except the Internal Storage and MicroSD (this is probably where I messed up?)
Then went to install and navigate to the new rom and gapps on my microsd card. Well TWRP does not see either. It lists both of them but with 0MB and unselectable. I tried two other card, no go (all FAT32). Tried OTG with 3 different thumb drives, same results. The OS is gone and all I get of course is the white ASUS boot screen loop. ADB doesn't see any devices as well (windows device manager see no new devices when I attached the cable or when I list devices).
The only thing I can boot into is TWRP and I have tried everything to access the SD/OTG without success.
So can I assume I have bricked this thing and must go onto the IntelSOC XFStik procedure? and if so, does having a working TWRP on there force me to deviate from the normal unbrick procedure I have see here and on youtube?
Or is it something really easy that I am missing? I am fairly novice (as noted by my current situation), so maybe it's an easy fix?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

You have LP version twrp recovery? , not the mmbl twrp recovery installed ? which ends in 3.0.2.M1 ??
If you do have 3.0.2.0 for LP bootloader which early versions of CM13 used , then you can fastboot flash stock recovery for 4 20 40 196 in bootloader from here....
https://mega.nz/#F!k4MHiAgL!dVuOKeH3eokcwPSNI79ffw
Thanks go to Shakalaca
To get into bootloader -- from Twrp , select reboot , select power off !
Count to ten after switching off.
Press power and vol + , release power when it vibes , release vol+ at asus screen.
Fastboot flash stock recovery for above LP .196 in bootloader , when flashed --- scroll via vol buttons to recovery and hit power. At the dead android , press power and vol+ together for 4 secs , release vol+
You should be in stock recovery now.
Scroll to `update over adb` and select .
adb sideload LP official firmware from asus for LP .196 or .198
If you need help to get thru this step , just ask:good:
Thanks for the response. I am not sure if I have the LP version. It was done back I think in April of last year... I looked around TWRP and I don't see anything except 3.0.2-0 listed.
So still a little confused. This is how i have been navigating so far....
Power button, volume up... I get to the dead robot. There I can see FASTBOOT MODE is in Red, product name, variant, IFWI, Serial #. The rest is either ? or unknown (bootloader version is unknown).
Then at the bottom i can see 'continue the fastboot process' in blue. With the volume rocker i can select, NORMAL BOOT, POWER OFF, RECOVERY MODE and RESTART BOOTLOADER. I have been select Recovery Mode to get into TWRP. Restart Bootloader gets me back to the dead robot. I would assume this is the bootloader. Normal Boot just gives me the white asus splash where it hangs. In TWRP i can see ADVANCED -> ADB Sideload, I can start and it shows starting adb sideload feature with the blue color scrolling. But still when I connect to the computer I get no connection and nothing is listed when i run adb devices.
My TWRP doesn't let me select either the OTG or MicroSD, they show 0MB but are listed. So no way for me to flash via TWRP. I figured if i can get the computer adb to recognize the phone I can try to sideload via there. But so far my device manager doesn't see a thing, not even an unknown device waiting for their proper drivers.
Where am i going wrong?

You have LP bootloader .
Type in bootloader >
fastboot devices
If recognised, fastboot flash , follow my first reply above , adb wont be recognised until stock recovery is flashed and selected.
Please try to follow what as been already advised
It is V important to follow this from above , dont miss this step ;-
To get into bootloader -- from Twrp , select reboot , select power off !

Ok... let me get this straight.... before I sound too dumb...
You want me to go into the bootloader from TWRP (using Reboot > Power Off), even though I get to TWRP via the bootloader (recovery mode) from a power on?
Also, how do I know if fastboot is enabled? Is it when I see FASTBOOT MODE in the color red on the bootloader screen with 'continue the fastboot process' at the bottom?
I've done step by step what you wrote and I get to the bootloader but fastboot devices shows nothing (I've tried different computers/cables as well). I have the computer connect to the phone w/ bootloader screen on with what i wrote about FASTBOOT MODE in red and contine the fastboot process. If that is not correct, let me know. I did hold down the Volume Up for a bit longer
I'm almost thinking I have a hardware issue with my phone. I did replace the mic with a new module prior. I never checked if the usb storage was functioning after. Though it charges via the usb (even connected to a computer it charges but not recognized as a device). I'll have to double check that as well.... not sure why the sd card is not recognized though either... never touched that area. Could be the reason why TWRP can't access either the micro sd or otg?
I do appreciate the help... and i have been reading other threads... just seem to be at a stand still for now... suggestions are always welcome.
update: tried adjust the cable on the mic module ... no dice... replaced with older mic module, no dice... don't think it's a hardware issue.
To get into fastboot mode, power off the phone. Press and hold the volume up button and press the volume button. Once the phone vibrates, let go of the power button, then the volume button. You should not be in fastboot mode. You can choose recovery, power off, etc. with the volume button when in fastboot mode.
Connect the phone to the computer. Do you see any Android devices in device manager? Do you see any unknow devices?
Did you open a command prompt window on your computer, connect the phone in fastboot mode, and type "fastboot devices" (without quotation marks) and press enter to see if the phone is recognized?

So made some progress here. I think it was a hardware issue now... I put back the new mic module and reconnected the cable and now I can see my SD card and the computer sees it as well in adb and fastboot. That's the good news....
But ran into a new issue when trying to install any ROM from my micro sd card. I get ERROR 7 no matter what ROM I try to install. I have verified that they are the proper roms for my Z00A ZE551ML but still a no go.
What steps should I take next if I can now communicate but get error 7?
Thanks
Which recovery are you using to flash and which file are you trying to flash?
I am using TWRP 3.0.2.-0. Using the install from zip. I select any rom (Nougat Based so far I have tried). RR, Lineage, Octopus, all with the same error.
The phone is running a MM bootloader? What about MM or LP based ROMs?
I believe Timbernot said it was an LP based. I believe I installed about April last year and it was 3.0.2-0
Looks exactly like this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-2-laser/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-recovery-t3319704
You probably need an MM bootloader for custom Nougat ROMs. Did you try any LP-based ROMs?
I have not tried any LP based yet. I will try in a bit and forward the results.
Thanks

I was recently planning to install Miui 7 on my Fire Phone. So, i installed safestrap 4.01.
1. I opened safestrap recovery mode
2. I wiped (First screen of Safestrap recovery mode)
3. I installed Cleansystempartition.zip
and then i don't know why, but i lost my mind and decided not to install Miui 7 and i went back and clicked on reboot.
So, now my Amazon Fire phone is stuck at boot logo and i can't even enter recovery mode.
It doesn't respond when connected to PC. It is charging and again when i boot again get stuck on boot logo.
Please reply ASAP.

What you need:
1 x USB Cable, 1 x PC, 1 x Fire Phone update bin, adb and correctly installed drivers. GOOGLE
How too:
1. Ensure phone is turned OFF
2. Plug the USB cable into your phone.
3. Press and keep held the Volume UP (+) button only
4. Now plug the other end of the USB cable into the PC. (keeping the Volume UP held)
5. The phone will now boot into recovery and you can let go of the volume button.
6. Select "apply update from ADB"
7. type
Code:
adb sideload your-firmware-version.bin
Use google or search the Fire Phone threads on how to install adb and drivers etc etc.

Thanks for your time, but i couldn't understand how ADB is used. I installed adb drivers (tried bunch of times) but can't figure out how to do steps you suggested.
Could you please elaborate in detailed step-by-step, or provide me some revalent link so that I (noob) could understand easily. Once again thanks for help !
Code:
Is there any way i can ensure that proper drivers are installed for my Fire Phone?
Since i understood how adb is used, I categorized further remaining problem into two type:-
1. If I hadn't installed right drivers...
I tried installing driver from different source but i failed (i guess).
So anyone can provide me link for Drivers for Fire Phone?
2. If i have installed right drivers then :
I tried steps as you suggested but my phone won't boot into recovery mode. When i connect Phone to my pc holding volume + , It shows charging symbol as usual.
If i am doing the process in wrong way, please correct me. I will be waiting for helps...:crying:

Your only hope to revive this phone is to get into the stock recovery.
If you wiped the stock recovery or messed with it then your screwed as there is no PC flashtool like odin, spflashtool, etc etc that works on the fire phone that I am aware of so you need the stock recovery to be functional.
To get into recovery re-read post #2 HERE very carefully on how to do it. :fingers-crossed:
There is no need to PM me just simply quote me in this thread and I will then get notified.
You also need to provide as much info as possible things such as screenshots, photo's, Videos, logs etc etc as these will help when people try to assist you.
Once you are in stock recovery we can move on.
I quit guys. I just can't get that thing on recovery mode. I tried several times, tried other ways but nope. My phone is not giving a damn ****. Its just gets stuck on boot screen logo. That's all. I guess, i won't get my phone returned/exchanged since had i rooted it which violates its warranty.

Weirdly enough -my gfs fire phone started exhibiting the same exact issue just yesterday(amazon logo blinks on start up and doesnt go any further no matter how long you wait) and this is the first link google gave on the problem. Did anyone find a resolution to this? She loves this phone and I already replaced battery once few months ago.

Hi all,
Just bricked my Phone and can't access MSM. Hope you can help me. I will try to be very clear on the steps I took to get to this point.
Device: EU OnePlus 9 Pro
What is was trying to do: Go from rooted C.47 to Pixel Entended ROM
What I did:
Code:
Unrooted using Magisk uninstall option
Updated to c.48 through OTA
Go to lineageOS page on how to ensure all firmware partitions are consistent
very stupidly did not flash dtbo and vendor boot partition
did adb reboot fastboot in stead of abd reboot bootloader
Download the "lineage-19.1-20220701-recovery-lemonadep.img" and tried to temporaryly flash it by
fastboot flash boot <recovery_filename>.img
This resulted in the device getting stuck on the 1+ boot logo.
I can still force turn it off by holding Volume Up + Power.
When I try to access EDL by turned off and Vol UP + Vol Down + Plug and release, My PC makes a connection sound and the screen stay black for a while. After +- 10 seconds, the PC makes a disconnection sound and the phone boots up and gets stuck again on the 1+ bootup icon.
Also my phone won't stay turned off when plugged in the charger or pc
Yes, but what is it presenting as (i.e. EDL, fastboot, ADB, UMS...) when it connects?
If this is Windows, UsbLog.exe is handy to identify things popping up (as long as they have drivers installed).
For a list of devices that have ever tried to connect, try "enumusb.exe /l".
Both available here: https://www.temblast.com/windows.htm

I will try this
I found the issue:
> EDL exits after 10 seconds if it is not captured by the MSM tool.
> The MSM tool only monitored 4 of my 10 USB ports
> So it was not captured because I was plugged in to an unmonitored USB port and rebooted after 10 seconds
> I have successfully used the MSM tool now
Oh! A bit off-topic, but I have never understood why EDL is commonly used over a "serial" port.
The interface that EDL presents is a generic USB bulk interface with two endpoints. You can use it just like that.
But no. They have to use a Qualcomm driver that makes it look like a "serial" port and then you can connect to that.
Me? I use a generic "WinUSB" Zadig driver. I have an EDL client that just connects to that fine.
So does the Python client implementation.
Also, I've never run into that 10 second timeout.

When I try to access EDL by turned off and Vol UP + Vol Down + Plug and release, My PC makes a connection sound and the screen stay black for a while. After +- 10 seconds, the PC makes a disconnection sound and the phone boots up and gets stuck again on the 1+ bootup icon.
Also my phone won't stay turned off when plugged in the charger or pc

Your phone needs to be in OFF state mode when you're using EDL.
So, very simple:
Enter bootloader mode by holding both volume buttons with the power button together till your phone restarts and enters the bootloader.
From the bootloader screen you can use the volume buttons to navigate through the choices and you can select "Switch off".
When you complete this, you need to hold both volume buttons, and while holding them connect the cable (PC).
If you don't have or you don't have the correct Qualcomm EDL drivers installed, your phone will reboot or start to boot, it won't stay in EDL mode for longer than 10 seconds.
I also got the correct drivers for you, but you need to install the drivers manually while your device is in "EDL" mode, so, you need to be a bit "fast".
I have even a video for you, but need to upload it to YouTube so you can watch it.
I'll share you here the drivers just in case if you're familiar with a manual installation of the drivers.

Thanks for the help. The problem ended up to be a bit different than this for me, but this is a good post for anyone to find in the future!
I tried rooting my phone so I unlocked the bootloader, installed magisk to internal storage, booted twrp and installed the image in twrp. But then I wanted to install magisk but I couldnt find the file anywhere on my device. I decided to reboot to maybe download it again and go back into twrp to install it. But then I saw the message that my phone is in orange state and will boot in 5 seconds but it goes back to the "bootloader"? or to twrp. Fastboot and Recovery mode result in just looping back. And the factory reset in twrp doesn't work either. I am pretty sure I need to reinstall the original rom again but I have no idea how to. And msmDownloadTool can't find my phone (It does show up on my pc so it is connected). Any help is very much appreciated!! I really need my phone back actually

Re-install the latest Qualcomm driver's! After that start the MSM tool and use TWRP to reboot to edl mode.
Okay I will try that, should msmdownloadtool be able to see my phone when it is in the twrp screen tho?

Ah okay, sorry I am very new to this, I did reboot to EDL and it gave the orange state error and again went to the screen where I can select: "start", "Power Off", "Recovery mode", "restart bootloader", etc. I also did download those drivers again and restarted my pc. MSM still wont find my phone sadly

Do you see in the bottom right corner of PC a watermark that says test mode? Also when you reboot to edl mode from TWRP, you have to click start button in MSM BEFORE REBOOTING TO EDL...

No I do not see any watermark, ah also I didn't know that but when I just tried doing that my phone went black for about 15 seconds and then went back to the same screen it has been going to
also my phone is plugged in and It does make a sound when plugging in. I use MSM version V5.1.89 btw
EDIT: I just tried again with version V5.1.77 and now it says download complete and it looks as if the phone is starting up!! I am so so so thankfull for your help because I just bought this phone today.
YES THANK YOU MY PHONE IS WORKING AGAIN!

No watermark most likely means drivers are not properly installed. You can check by having device manager open and watch the ports node. Port node for phone should show 9008 at the end when you boot into EDL mode. Also make sure you have the correct MSM tool for your model and region from here,
OP9Pro - Repository of MSM Unbrick Tools (TMO, EU, GLO, IN)
By using these tools, you accept full responsibility for your actions. Your warranty is void should you run any of these utilities without OnePlus support present. I am not responsible for bricks, fires, nuclear war, etc. If you modified any...

You must see the test mode watermark, reboot PC after disabling driver signing, reboot PC after each driver installation.
This is what you should see in the bottom right corner....

Is this the first time you root a device?
