Hello everyone,
yesterday I flashed a new Cyanogenmod 14 nightly (12062016) for my G4 from earlier nightly in TWRP. After reboot the phone keeps going back to TWRP and I can't seem to get it to boot to system..
I tried factory reset, reflashing back to old nightly, flashing stock.. but nothing seems to work.
Also tried doing this in the TWRP terminal:
dd[space]if=/dev/zero[space]of=/dev/block/platform/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/fota
Didn't fix the loop, I guess because it wasn't the OTA update that caused the problem in the first place.
If anyone has an idea, I would greatly appreciate the help!
Thanks.
If you can reach download mode you could try reflashing back to stock then starting again.....Hope you get yours fixed - Sorry to say this but mine did a very similar thing only 24 hours before you posted!!! Only mine was on stock FW and was in use at the time - I've now had to swap it as valuebasket who sold me the phone have ceased trading. If yours is a UK model you may be able to get it replaced under warranty - believe that LG guarantee their phones for 2 years and a ruling by the European court said that flashing a custom rom doesn't invalidate any warranties.
I have the same exact issue, I also flashed the latest CM14 nightly and cannot get the device to boot any rom.
I have even tried flashing stock rom but I get the same problem.
From what I have read, the bootloop issue happens once the device boots but I don't seem to be getting that far.
Any ideas?
Ran into the same problem 3 days ago. This is the first time I have encountered a non-revertible issue in 3 years as a cyanogenmod user. This changes my opinion on how safe it is to make use of a custom ROM. I tried to wipe everything, reinstall TWRP, change TWRP with another recovery, reinstall a safe NAND backup of mine.....nothing.....it went into boot loop. Before I read this post, I was convinced my phone encountered the infamous G4 bootloop problem.....now I see there are other examples, so it shouldn't be the case. Long story short, I had to check my device in at the LG assistance, with 25 days as time forecast.
The guilty nightly was 20161205.
I have never seen anything like this...
This has solved it for me - I installed LG Bridge and flashed the factory firmware using the tool. Now it seems I'm back on stock but at least it's working.
got mine working. I had to install LGUP and flash stock ROM. Once flashed I installed CM14 and I am back up and running again.
I tried LGUP but it could not recognize the device while this was looping.....a bad experience......
I have the same issue. My phone was updated to 20i via the original stock firmware, then I put twrp 3.0.2-0 and cyanogenmod on. I did a cyanogenmod update from within cyanogenmod, which just booted into twrp, then I manually installed the update zip that cyanogenmod had downloaded, then it always boots into twrp. I wonder if initiating the update from within cyanogenmod was the cause. The phone is not detected by LGUP or LG Bridge. I've tried this on a win10 machine, and a win7 vm from linux. I have access to twrp, and download mode by doing the reboot into bootloader from within twrp.
If those people who have fixed this could give more details about how they did it, that would be good. What exact steps did you take? What stock firmware version did you have before installing a custom rom? What OS version were you using? What twrp version?
Well. Mine got stuck in bootloop for the second time today. What is going on? In between the two bootloops I had one good update with CM. Using TWRP 3.0.2.1. Steps to reproduce failure: updating CM from within CM, it autoreboots into TWRP and after that nothing happends, no autoinstall. Then after a manual install of the new CM the bootloop starts.
Resolve the problem:
* Install LGUP 8994 DLL Ver 0 0 3 23, Install LGUP Install Ver 1 14, get the latest KDZ
* Get the phone into download mode with usb cable and after that in firmware update mode
* Startup LGUP and choose refurbish and select the kdz file.
* After that you can boot into your stock LG firmware again, reinstall TWRP an CM. If you want so.
Read that it is advised to manual update cm from within TWRP. TWRP will get an update in the future to solve this bootloop problem.

I second that. Same issue and neither LG Up nor LG Bridge will recognize my device. Looking in device manager there are no serial interfaces. Do I need a special driver that provides a com port for a phone in recovery or fastboot mode?
---Edith 2016-12-12: Found a solution for my issue:
The phone has to be in _download_ mode, not in recovery or fastboot. After realizing that I have to boot the phone in a different manner, it will be recognized by LG UP.
Here is how to boot the pone in download-mode:
- Power off your LG device.
- Press and hold Volume Up button.
- Connect your device to PC with a USB cable while holding the Volume Up button.
- You’ll boot into download mode with “Firmware Update” written on top of the screen.
Now everything is fine again.

I was able to get out of that by also wiping by-name/misc. Don't do that, though, because then your wifi mac address will get messed up and you'll spend all day looking for a permanent fix for that.
I suggest reflashing a stock KDZ using LGUP, as others have said. You can get the usb drivers from LG Bridge.
I will release a fix for that soon. Check the twrp thread for updates on this.
Hi
I also have this problem
I installed cm-14.1-20161201-NIGHTLY-h815 successfully and was running it for almost 2 weeks without issues, today I updated to cm-14.1-20161213-NIGHTLY-h815 from cmupdater and I have been ending up in recovery every time I rebooted.
I tried flashing the latest cm recovery and reflashing the rom, with full wipes but no luck.
Full steps of recovering would be appreciated (for example, there are comments about flashing the latest stock rom, but a link to this rom would be helpful)
Thanks
Good news regarding this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70082901&postcount=213
The above will fix TWRP bootloop issues as well and I also released a first h811 version which should allow installing CM etc as it should.
Keep in mind that this is a BETA and not an official TWRP release.
Please report back in the above thread!
.
Does your twrp beta really fix the boot loop even it is already happening. What do I have to wipe? I have not managed to get out of the boot loop despite intalling it.
Is using using LG Up to flash to the stock rom really the only option?
Edited 2017-01-25 2:45 pm:
Well, sometimes you just have to be patient. Powered down the phone and when th H815 restarted CM did boot. Great. :good:
Hey, I just want to share a small detail, possibly a fluke that helped me overcome the bootloop.
So...I started with a fresh, stock H815, I don't quite remember the firmware version..it was something like version "20g"..
OK, I looked up several guides and tried to get the newest stable versions of each tool. I went through with the official bootloader unlock, then moved on to rooting: Kingroot didn't work for me so I went on installing twrp in fastboot mode so I could afterwards install supersu and root.
I got there eventually but first I was stuck in bootloop - kept ending up in twrp interface. I found the 2 dd commands but those didn't work for me as the msm_sdcc folder did not exist, but instead there was a "f9824900.sdhci". Tried to overwrite this one ...but as others have stated as well, it didn't work.
At that point, I had nothing to lose, I was starting to accept that I had soft-bricked my precious G4 so..I went on installing the DU 10.6 7.1.1 rom and the stock gapps, wiped dalvik, rebooted and held my breath...not literally
About 12 minutes later, after an endless red, spinning logo, my shiny ping pong paddle showed me a different screen, a fresh start welcome screen .
Almost 24h / 10-12 reboots (twrp included) / 70+ apps installed and removed later, the new OS holds around 2G ram average, a bit better battery life, smoother transitions, flawless navigation, flush streaming over both 3G/LTE & 2.4/5 G wifi.
FYI the reboots were intended, wanted to see consistency in boots - we're in the green . Now testing long term stability with moderate/high usage.
There is 1 aspect I noticed, there are a couple of contexts when the interface burps (several menus, various situations, never in apps) and resets back to homescreen...but I think that's more of a launcher topic than an OS one.
Other than that, so far I'm happy with the mod.
Hope my experience helps others that might be in the same spot I was or at lest boosts their confidence to try out a decent idea they might be pondering.
i own an asus zenfone 2 Ze551ml. i had installed lineage os based on android 14.1 official nightly version using twrp recovery.
everything was running fine untill i wanted to update the nightly version.
the update manager would crash whenever i tried to download the update, so i tried downloading the update manually and flashing it using twrp recovery.
i successfully flashed the zip file, but the device went into a boot loop after the install of the update.
i booted back into recovery and tried clearing cache and dalvik cache, but nothing happened.
later while trying to do the same again, i accidentally wiped system partition as well.
now, the device doesnt boot up and stays stuck on the asus boot logo. doesnt show the lineage boot animation as well.
cant boot into recovery mode using the volume button and power button.
i tried to install adb on my windows, but the device is not detected and it shows an error saying device not found.
installing device drivers manually and trying to install adb too didn't help.
someone please help me with this situation :crying:
thanks a lot in advance
If you have hard bricked your phone then this post has all of the information necessary to help you
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/thead-bricked-phone-updating-to-mm-tips-t3452785
plus some addition information I found on the web:
I gathered from the internet that Asus Flash tool will hang after it reloads the correct serial number. It thinks it is communicating with a phone that has SN 123456789ABC but then at some point the phone switches SN and Asus Flash Tool hangs.
You can get around this hang using several methods
1) restart computer after asus flash tool hangs
2) use second computer to load RAW image after asus flash tool hangs
3) Going into Windows Device Manager and disabling the Android bootloader device then re-enabling it (after asus flash tool hangs)

You can tell Asus flash tool is hanging when you run "fastboot devices" command and you see a device that is not serial number 123456789ABC
Answered this problem many times.
You should've powered off within twrp itself.
Waited 15 seconds after switch off, used hard buttons to get to bootloader.
Used giovix modder tool. Return to stock option in modder. Select boot and recovery.
Reunlock bootloader , flashed twrp 3.0.2M1. Root .then flashed 3.0.3.M4 or if possible ...
Power off in twrp itself
Used hard buttons to get to bootloader.
Reflashed new twrp in linos OP.
Reflashed linos or restored any back up

Phone keeps booting to twrp
My Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML 4GB) dilemma:
*•*I unlocked the bootloader with the official bootloader app
*•*I flashed the latest TWRP via adb. In the recovery screen, I saw an android showing error. That's when the panic started.
*•*I Then I rooted my phone with the one click Zenfone root application (available in XDA)
*•*I installed the official TWRP manager from the playstore and flashed with it. That also didn't solve my problem. Actually, a new problem set in. The phone started bootlooping IN RECOVERY.
*•*I rebooted the phone and then flashed an old version of TWRP for my phone. That solved the problem.
*•*Now, I wanted to flash Lineage OS in my phone. According to a YouTube tutorial, I copied my required files (the custom ROM and OpenGAPPS) to my Micro SD and then from twrp's advanced wipe, deleted everything except for Micro SD. I know that was an extremely stupid move but please bear with me.
*•*Deleting everything made things hundred times worse. It seemed impossible to get the phone into recovery mode again. But after a long time, I did.
*•*Now onto flashing the new ROM. I did a factory reset with twrp and then flashed the ROM and immediately got Error 7. By googling a bit, I found that the only way to solve this problem was by deleting the assert lines from the updater-script in meta/com/google/android inside the ROM.
*•* When I reflashed it, the process completed but it showed an error: (E:unknown command [log])
*•* Then I overlooked it again as a quick google said it didn't matter. Then I successfully flashed OpenGAPPS. I rebooted my phone and it kept bootlooping until it was back in the recovery screen. Weird right?
*•*I didn't seem to find any workaround so I decided to restore stock ROM. I downloaded it and flashed it. It succeeded. I rebooted my phone. And. .
*•*My phone now vibrates when I power on the phone and then it shows a black screen. It reboots automatically. I know it does as the phone vibrated periodically after the reboot
*•* I also can't go into the bootloader menu. My phone seems dead but I really need to revive it. I can't afford a new phone. Could you guys help me out please?

Did you flash the MM bootloader compatible TWRP mentioned in the OP for LineageOS? That solves error 7.

xfstk is the only way. go to following thread and do as suggested. one advice when you get into bootloader. flash raw without AFT. that is best.

I was running the latest version of TWRP and a rooted version of the LG G6 port. Everything was stable and worked fine. So I was ready to give it back to its owner who I had modded it for. I went into the settings menu of the phone and did a standard factory reset to remove my account that was logged in so I could test the phone out before giving it to the owner. well when it finished resetting and rebooted, its been stuck in a boot loop ever since.
Tried just clearing both Dalvik Cache and Cache, to no avail. Tried Reflashing the rom and starting over. Still nothing. Tried flashing a different rom. Still nothing.
So what else can I try? and also if its the only thing I can do, rest it all the way back to stock factory everything. How do I do that on this phone. What program do I need and what files. and whats the steps to complete the process.
Thank you in advance for all help that is given
i factory reset in twrp and turned on developers options after first boot then reflashed twrp i always forget backup lol or delete it or use kdz you flashed before anyway i can help i will if you still need
if you have tried to flash the same custom rom or another is still not working, flashes with the program "lg up", you will need a kdz file,and the corresponding drivers. if with that you can not watch this tutorial before doing anything.
if you have a backup made with twrp, it flashes again.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/unbrick-lg-g4-brick-hs-usb-qdloader-t3542785
during this process you will have to disassemble the back of the phone, (plastic) you do not need to remove the motherboard completely from the phone, anyway if you can enter download mode try with lg up tool.
if you need help around here we are.
Well now in the process of trying to fix it. The phone bricked and will no longer turn on at all. Is there anyway to fix this ?

Hi people,
Today I unlocked my Lenovo ZUK Z2 Plus and installed latest twrp recovery 3.3.1 successfully(no errors until now, butter smooth). After that I flashed "CARBON-CR-7.0-OPAL-RELEASE-z2_plus-20200122-0608" without installing GApps. This time the ROM booted successfully. I was able to use the phone and make calls.
Then I installed the GApps " open_gapps-arm64-9.0-stock-20200131.zip" downloaded from OpenGApps.org. This time around, when I booted after installing GApps, the phone showed the welcome screen, but got suddenly turned off. After that the phone just shows ZUK logo and keeps rebooting.
To fix this, I went to recovery again, wiped clean DATA & DALVIK CACHE & CACHE & SYSTEM & VENDOR partitions, hoping I would start from the beginning and again install only ROM and not GApps and hoping I would be able to use the phone.
Now this time around, even though I wiped every partition that TWRP shows, the phone just kept rebooting without starting Android OS. So I cleaned again everything using TWRP(cleaning DATA procedure) and then transferred ROM zip files to phone and again flashed only ROM. Still the phone kept rebooting.
Now I got pissed off. I flashed factory ROM using QFIL method. This time after the boot animation it went straight to "Shutting Down" dialogue and again the phone restarted.
CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS EXACTLY WRONG WITH MY PHONE?
WHAT COULD HAVE GONE WRONG THAT EVEN AFTER CLEANING ALL THE PARTITIONS AND FLASHING USING THE FACTORY PROCEDURE, THE PHONE STILL KEEPS REBOOTING?
Is there any other partition that needs to be cleared(which the TWRP does not list)?
Can somebody just tell me how to get out of this?
(Please explain the steps and the reason for each, as I am a noob in this matter).
WAITING FOR ANYBODY'S PROMPT RESPONSE AS MY PHONE IS COMPLETELY UNUSABLE. THANKS IN ADVANCE.
what ZUI version you flashed with QFIL ?

I again flashed the Stock ZUI 2.5. ST ROM using QFIL. But before doing this I had moved the SIM Card to another fone, so this fone was without any connection. This time the fone booted up successfully. Then I reflashed the Carbon ROM mentioned before and flashed Flame GApps Basic edition as suggested by you. This time the fone booted up successfully. But as soon as I connected the fone to internet, it downloaded something from Google Play Services in the background and again it started the same problem.
SO BASICALLY WHEN IT DOWNLOADS SOMETHING FROM GOOGLE IN BACKGROUND, IT STARTS THE REBOOTING NONSENSE.
I searched the internet for this and some articles on the internet suggested that "Google Dialer" component is causing reboot. Those articles suggested that if the "Google Dialer" is not set as the default dialer, it reboots. BUT HOW TO SET IT AS DEFAULT, WHEN IT STARTS REBOOTING IMMEDIATELY AND IT DOES NOT GIVE ENOUGH TIME?
EVEN THE EARLIER GApps 9.0 stock package that I flashed had warned to set the "Google Dialer" as default, but upon boot up it kept rebooting.
Even initially I started this UNLOCKING AND CUSTOM ROM FLASHING exercise after the factory ROM started rebooting after updating "Google play services".
So this seems to me an issue from Google.
Has Google done this on purpose to make people switch older phones to new ones?(Because I own a total of 3 android devices and only this device is rebooting not the other ones).
Looking forward to your reply.
Greetings Buddy..how's life going??
Ok once again I hv read ur op regarding ur problems. Let's start from the beginning. Boot up to twrp and format the data first before wiping everything. Try flashing lineageOS 16 using official gapps. (Flash gapps along with the flashing ROM, same time. Because flashing gapps after ROM's 1st reboot may result synchronise error or sometime bootloop). If successful, then flash ur carbon ROM and see whether it boots up to normal or still gives such error.
BTW sorry for my late replies. Till then peace out

I am now not able to boot any ROM. Just keeps rebooting after the ZUK splashscreen. Hence, I again reflashed the Recovery properly, using the procedure as before. Now I am not able to boot into the recivery, too.
