Hello,
I need help, I uploaded the upload of an old version of TWRP to the tablet, but starting it doesn't allow me to do anything.
Get stuck on the home screen "Samsung galaxy tab s4"
It doesn't even allow me to go into download mode.
Error: "Set Warranty bit Recovery"
How can I do?

Hello, first I'd like to thank you for your time reading this.
Note: I've searched the forums a lot, even for other LG Devices (G2 for ex) but I couldn't find a solution.
Trying to flash CM12 by _infected (amazing rom, working as a daily driver on my other lg pad btw) and messed up something on TWRP.
-First trying to do a Factory Reset via TWRP gave me "failed to mount /data" and "/system" I rebooted and the device went straight to TWRP Recovery, I rebooted again, this time making sure I selected "Reboot to System" and it went again to TWRP Recovery...
- I did another wipe, this time wiped everything (all checkboxes in TWRP), reboot and... no boot...
Now my LG Pad is at the following State:
- Black Screen (No LG Logo)
- Connecting USB to Windows gives the "connected sound"
- Adb doesnt find device (driver was installed and working).
- Device Manager "refreshes" on USB plug but doesnt show the device (or I can't find it?).
- Holding Power on the tablet while USB plugged to Windows gives the "disconnected sound" -> "connected sound" -> "connected sound".
- Can't boot into Download Mode.
- Can't turn off the Tablet... only Reboots holding Power key.
Please? Any help?
What can I do?
Is warranty void at this point?
Thank you very much for any help you can provide.
I have a G pad in the same situation, and I wasn't able to fix it. I managed to pick up another cheap one, but I'll follow this thread in case you get an answer.
You have to find a way to get it into download mode or you wont be able to fix it with LG Tool
What did you mess up, and how did you install twrp ? Also what twrp version abd base.

For me personally, I assumed it'd be as easy as the twrp page makes it out to be , or my nexus 4 was, so I just went for it. I ran into that secure boot error with twrp, and rebooted back into stock. There was an OTA update, so I did it (stupid I now realise) and that bricked it on reboot. It won't turn on at all. If i plug into USB on a computer it OCCASIONALLY brings something up on the screen, the LG logo I think or something, but I cannot for the life of me get it into download mode. It's at home right now, so ic anot remmeber the exact thing it shows on screen, but almost certainly not download mode, and none of the hardware buttons seem to be responsive for doing factory resets or download or anything.
I managed to send the LG G Pad to warranty and got a new one... Lucky me...
Guess that if we can't get into DL mode they can't either.
However after much investigation I've realized that the problem was a corrupted system partition...
I upgraded to D85120g via the LG Mobile Support Tool but lost root. While trying to restore root access, I bricked my device. Its stuck on the opening splash screen. The power button does not appear to be active. The notification led cycles between green/blue/off.
Typing "adb reboot recovery" in a console window says, "error: device not found".
The LG Mobile Support Tool recognizes the phone and says it has Software Version: D85120G, the latest available. If I click 'Options', then 'Upgrade Recovery', it goes through the steps of verifying windows, downloading 1226.54 MBytes, software extraction, and S/W Upgrade. But it only gets 4% through the upgrade and then says, "Upgrade stopped due to an error."
Powering up the phone while pressing the volume down, releasing when the splash first shows, then holding the power button again brings up the Factory data reset. I tell it yes to erase all user data & restore default settings, then yes to start. It immediately goes to the splash screen, then then android robot appears and says erasing for about 1 second, then the splash screen again. That's the last it does.
The phone shows up as a serial port but the drive letter it was mapped to has a yellow triangle "!" in device manager and says device can't start.
Can I get my phone to work again?
Got it working!
The trick was to manually set the phone into download mode by holding the volume up with the power off, then connecting to the usb cable. Once in download mode, I started LG Mobile Support Tool, clicked Options, then Install Recovery. It went through the complete process. I lost all my data but saved the phone!
Now I need root back.
Hi,
I have just purchased a Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 mobile.
I have noticed that whenever I try and go into recovery mode, an Android Robot image appears with an exclamation mark on it with a message below that says 'installing system updates'.
Afterwhich I have to press the power key or the volume keys once and the phone goes into recovery mode.
Can anyone help as to why this happens
Thanks & regards,

This is the normal behaviour of samsung stock recovery. That image means to proceed with caution, because you may lost your data
My Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (i9195) went into coma "by itself" (when only charging), two weeks ago. Since then it is stuck at the white Samsung logo.
KIES can´t get any contact with the phone at all.
"Wipe Cache partition" or "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" only results in a lot of red text;
"E:Can´t mount /cache/recovery..."
"E:failed to mount/cache (Invalid argument)..."
"E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata..."
etc...
When I use Odin to install stock firmware it gets stuck on ”aboot.mbn”, and after a minute or two: ”FAIL”. After that the phone doesn´t boot to logo, just says that loading firmware failed, try again, until I load the "pit-file" and the phone boots to Samsung logo again...
Also tried this trick...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-root-samsung-galaxy-s4-mini-lte-gt-i9195.2364980/
...but it got stuck at "recovery.img", and then "FAIL". but after that experiment (and a new pitfile-loading) the Recovery mode only shows "recovery booting" and "Set Warranty Bit: recovery" but no menu. I can still use the menu for downloading via Odin...
Any idea, anyone...? It could be the flash memory died, but even if the phone is nearly eight years old, it is not used much, an I can write at least some bytes to the flash memory.
Hello,
I bought a "bricked" Galaxy Tab S4 on ebay. The only info I got was, that it is stuck in a bootloop since the last automatic update.
The bootloop is similar to this one. The tablet starts with the Samsung logo, then nothing happens and after a while I end up in recovery mode. Further, if I restart or hardreset the tablet, the screen stays black. The only way to boot it up again is to empty the battery while it is stuck in the bootloop. Afterwards I can enter download mode by holding "vol up and down" and plugin the usb cable.
In download mode this text appears at the bottom left:
#reboot recovery cause [unknown]
API: 3
manual mode 1.0.0
(Similar to this thread.)
OEM lock is on and of course I can't change this being stuck in the bootloop, or can I?
I successfully flashed the stock rom T830XXU5CUE2 with Odin3_v3.14.4 and latest samsung drivers. Unfortunately it does not help or fix anything. (I used virtualbox, but it worked and said "PASS" at the end).
After some research I would like to try my luck with a combination rom, but I can't find a U5 version which I should use because of T830XXU5CUE2, is that correct?
Any ideas how I could proceed from here? With OEM lock I guess there is no chance to flash TWRP on it?
