Bad boot 950xl - Windows 10 Mobile

Hi!
I'm having a nightmare today and I was wondering if any could have a good solution. So in short: My battery ran out, I thought it was charging while connected to a laptop, but it wsn't and this morning it was quite empty... then I plugged the phone again to the same laptop, but the phone was rebooting (like 3 times or so) and suddenly: BSOD! bad boot. It seems the boot got corrupted. Error is: "File. \ EFI \ Microsoft \ Boot \ BCD. Error code: 0xc000014c".
If this would have been a desktop, I'd have solved the problem in a glance with an usb stick with w10 and entering to cmd line to fix the BCD. Here... well, I don't know what to do. I tried to charge the battery and i think there's a bit of battery now, but the phone restarts afterone minute in that bsod. I tried to connect it to my pc and is not being recognized. I downloaded the tool from microsoft "Windows Device REcovery tool" and at the end, it recognizes it, but of course, if I use that it will do a hard reset and all my data will be lost. I don't have a backup of photos and contact lists on the phone drive (luckily many were in the sd). So i'd like just to recover the bcd as in a desktop and avoid doing a hard reset, or at least to recover all that stuff before. Is there any way? Even if I have to pay and send it to some place. I tried contact with B2X support, but after filling all the form they ask for, it gives me an error and there's no way of contacting them.
Any one got this problem before? Thank you very much!
PS. If I have to do a hard reset, is there any program that can recover data with the "device connection"? I mean, you can recover data from hdd, but when you lug a phone, this is like a special "device"

TRy WInternals, unlock bootloader and do an backup of data partition. , but i dont think it will work. . Laptops are bad. charging my phone from laptop looks more like the phone is charging back.

did you mean mass storage mode?
In normal I have this bsod and i don't see how to recover the data. For mass storage it says it's red... is it ok to enter to it? or do i have to do something special?

Read carefully everything. And think twice before click on anything.
So, go to manual mode, mass storage, start unlocking and when the phone enter first time mass storage, go to data partition and copy your stuf.. Ignore the press power to reboot message. After that you may reboot but the phone wont start (i dont werified but i suppose), is when you need to reflash ffu.

so i did the unlock, but it says: https://ibb.co/PwRxst0
and the phone starts and goes directly to bsod page... and wpinternals is still thinking. If i try to unlock it again it says it is already unlocked

Enter mass storage mode.

I cannot. the phone reboots and goes directly to "normal mode". It boots as normal, although wpinternals is looking for this storage mode. Sometimes, I have seen a red screen with the symbol you can see with wpinternals in the phone, with a progress bar, which is empty, but then suddenly reboots after a second or two. Should I restore the bootloader and try again doing it?

You can flash efiesp.bin, if you get one

Your data is in data partition. Efiesp is the boot and other stuff partition. So... search for efiesp.bin of your phone. Is a partition backuped with wpinternals. Ill search thru mine to see if contain private data and ill post to you.

You can try to create your own efiesp.bin partition using wpinternals and ffu file for your phone. Go to DUMP section of wpinternals.

Just "google" how to adb sideload...
Maybe you will have to reinstall Stock firmware with the kdz updater then root/unlock again...

Your phone was in "USB debugging mode" when you reboot in recovery?
Btw, i'm not very familiar with adb command...if i was you, i just reinstall the clean stock firmware using the kdz updater...it takes about 5-10 minutes and it's done. But, it will probably erase all your data. You've been warned!

Yes it was in debugging. I was in recovery and doing a clean up of cache and hit wipe data and then lost it all.. went in to look for roms on internal storage gone

Here some steps to "kdz-ing"
Use the KDZ Updater with the latest firmware version of your phone...
First, download and install the latest lg driver. (your phone must be unplugged when installing)
Second, download the LG E970 kdz.
Third, "google" and install the kdz updater.
Fourth, put your phone in "Download mode" by pressing both volume keys and plug into usb port (wait 2-3 seconds, your computer will load the driver)
P.S: to shutdown the phone, hold the power button for about 15 seconds after you should be able to enter in "download mode"
Fifth, open the kdz updater and select "3GQCT" in type...and "CS_Emergency" in phone mode. Then browse & select the kdz you've just downloaded...and press the Launch button. It should take about 8-10 minutes to complete...your phone will reboot around param.94 then you can unplugged it and let it boot normally.
Finally, make a "factory reset" to erase all previous data and plug your phone to wall charger to gave him some fresh blood.
Give us some feedback & good luck :good:

Accidently UNINSTALLED OS - Will pay for HELP.

I completely messed up my Nexus when I was installing something and forgot to back it up. I made some more mistakes and now I don't have an OS. I've been searching for the past 4 hours on how to fix this and literally nothing is working for me.
If someone can help me get my device back up I WILL pay. I'm a total newbie with android... Let me know if you can help.

First mistake was attempting to install an Audio driver on my nexus. I got stuck on the loading screen so I was told to wipe my storage. Wiped everything! I have no clue what i'm supposed to do now...
I tried to system restore and reformat but the result is the same; When I reboot the device, I get stuck on the Google screen. On my PC, my device manager shows the device as Android Bootloader Interface.

If you selected the format option in TWRP it would have deleted your userdata and internal partition leaving your system intact; unless you also selected to wipe the system in Advanced Wipe options.

They probably meant to wipe just the cache and dalvik cache - not your system, userdata and internal.
I still have access to TWRP and bootloader. I'm trying to access fastboot so I can just flash a new ROM and everything should be back to normal but nothing is working for me. Teamviewer would help alot; if someone could come walk me through everything. I will pay, without a doubt, if I get it fixed.
If you still have your recovery and ADB setup on your computer then you can ADB push or ADB Sideload a ROM.

Could you possibly get on teamviewer and walk me through this? I've been doing this for the last 4-5 hours and nothing is going my way... I'm honestly desperate to get this working again.
Something is wrong with my ADB Sideload; it keeps saying the device can't be found. I don't know what the problem is...

I'm in the same boat. I had a backup I was going to restore (after flashing a zip that gave me a bootloop), I formatted everything, lost my backups, have no OS and I keep getting device not found. Le Sigh.
Update: I used PDAnet, *reinstalled drivers*, currently flashing a rom. Thanks for all the help.
Can't you guys just go into fastboot mode and flash the stock images? And make sure the drivers are installled properly.

HTC One M8s propably bricked HELP GUYS

Hi,
i just got an HTC One M8s and i think its propably bricked. I don't know whats owner of that phone done here. Its Software status : Modified, Bootloader: Locked, and S-ON.
I can't turn on the phone, i just can go to bootloader option and cant access recovery bc its popably didn't exist anymore.
I was trying to flash RUU for my CID T-MOB009 but htc_fastboot says "data length is too large" and sometimes "remote:signature verify fail", and i was trying to unlock this bootloader with HTCDev, but when i clicked yes it looks like that(means 1st photo) and just reboot to fastboot in bootloader and it's still locked
Is there's a way to unbrick this phone ? I just spend like 4 hours of trying some tips but it doesn't work for it.
Some screens (remove spaces cause i can't post link before 10posts):

Yeah maybe there's a problem with the "Security warning" it shouldn't be there. What you can do is to reflash the RUU. But not with fastboot but from your sdcard.
Probably this is the firmware that you should use. I'm not sure though you can go one directory back and search for another one if that doesn't suit to you.
Now to flash it follow the steps
1) Download it and if you can check the md5sum so as to ensure it has downloaded correctly.
2) Rename it to 0PKVIMG.zip (note the first character is a zero and not a O
3) Take out the sdcard of your phone.
4) Insert it on your pc and format it to Fat32 or exfat.
5) Copy the above file into your sdcard.
6) Power off your phone and insert the sdcard
7) Go into the bootloader mode. It should automatically detect the firmware
8) When it asks you if you want to install choose "Yes"
9) Wait until it is done. It will flash multiple times the system partion. WAIT patiently
10) Hope that fixed it!
PS: When you enter fastboot you probably see some green letters. This means the hboot is searching for the software file i said above. If it finds it's ok. I had problems copying the file with windows though.

Yeah thanks for that great advice man! Unfortunately i was trying to copy this on Windows and when i try to Hboot that it just skip process (but stops for sec on a 0PKVIMG.zip) and going back to bootloader.

I couldn't get it that done on windows. Dunno what's going wrong. Hopefully i had a linux distro installed and i copied the file from there. Maybe you can do that.
If you haven't installed any linux then create a live cd and boot it up.

Okay so now its the trick. I have done copied that properly, bc it start to loading when i put sd card. I click yes for update, and its start to flashing. Some of first steps failed so it wasn't look good. It called ROM failed to flashed click POWER to restart, and when i clicked it phone goes off and now its propably close to hardbricked cause i cant turn on bootloader. When i take it to charger there is no battery on screen informating its already charging. Only LED is working when charging and sound on windows when plug it on and off. Any suggestions guys? I'am scared now
Similar situation
Hi,
I appear to be in a similar situation with my M8 that I tried to convert to GPE. Something went wrong and although the ROM booted, I kept getting told my data was corrupt or encrypted... Tried a few reboots, and refreshed but still got the same...
A thread on here suggested formatting one of the partitions from TWRP which just returned an error, since then the phone appears to be 'hard bricked'.
No display, no charging indication, not recognised in ADB, and I can't force boot into recovery or fast boot.
However, I do still get the notification sound when I plug it into my PC...
It appears in the Device Manager as Qualcomm Mass Storage Device, and Windows shows ~20 drives most of which are unformatted, a few of which seem to contain system info...
I was wondering, would it be possible to re-image the Device? Given that the PC recognises the partitions, would anyway know what -should- be on them?
Alternatively, can anyone provide an image of a stock drive, partitions etc which I could apply?
Apologies if this is nonsense, but I'd imagine the reason it can't boot is the Bootloader partition is 'missing' or corrupted.
The same may be true for your device Mikkal.
Thanks in advance,

Yeah, same issue here.
Nope. I'm just an idiot. Works fine when you format the data partition. Thanks

LineageOS - "Soft brick" - no files

Hello,
I'm a bit lost, here is my problem:
I have an international LG G3, I switched to LineageOS from official ROM 10 days ago. Everything was working fine, until yesterday when at some point, whithout doing anything special, my phone froze as I hit the Home button.
It froze for quite some time, so I removed the battery and now I have the pleasure, each time that I start the phone to see the great LG logo that doesn't move...
My phone isn't root (didn't install the su addon) and though I can boot in TWRP recovery mode, I don't see any file and all my reboot options mention "No OS".
I tried to sideload lineage to flash the new version but it doesn't work, push neither (and I have no SD - it kept unmounting itself).
I tried to connect with LGUP to go stock, but I guess since it's not root, it isn't recognized, and I don't know how to root it as I can't access it.
So here I am, stuck, without much idea of what to do next, I would be thankful if someone knew how to fix this issue one way or the other!
EDIT: Any try to solve the issue failed as I get the same prompt : Failed to mount /xxxx, or : Unable to mount storage.
Thanks in advance!
I had the same situation like you. Your data got corrupted. There's no way to actually restore your files, at least I couldn't do that with help of my mates. All you need to do is eject your SDCard, wipe every partition and:
repeat all steps for /system, /data and /cache - select only one partition, click on Repair or Change File System and these click on Repair File System then Change File System to F2FS and immediately change it back to ext4 and Repair File System once again.
And then wipe every partition once again.
If you need more help, message me on telegram.

Hello and thanks for your message,
I tried your procedure but for each partition, I get a bunch of "Failed to mount", "Unable to wipe", "Unable to repair".
I don't care about the data, all I want is to have my phone running, I tried to "Format Data" within TWRP, doesn't work either.

have you tried restoring to Stock ROM using LG Flash Tool? as far as I know it resets all partitions so that might be the fix for you
please try once again with this TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-t3309475
maybe just try [Change File System] to ext4 again? It helped me with my data corruption

Yes, I tried with LG Flash Tool, it's the same as LGUP, in both case my phone isn't recognized (I can see my phone on my computer but it contains nothing).
I can't install this TWRP, first technique I can't find the file in my folders (though I could push it with adb), second i can't do "su".
(with the current TWRP - 3.1.1.1 - I can't change the file system)
if you have sdcard, you can put the file here and then flash recovery.img via recovery

I could now get adb to push the img on data and sdcard, but when I try to install I can't find any partition and the process fail as no partition is specified.
I did the push in recovery mode and could find the files, but when I reboot in recovery mode again, I can't find them anymore.

it won't save any data, because partitions are corrupted do this won't work for sure

When I try to flash the recovery img, i get "No partitions selected for flashing.", and in the previous sreen where it ask for the partition, I can't pick anything as the list is empty.

I tried again to FLash it with the tool, no success.
In device manager I don't see the phone, all I see on the port COM is : Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3), so I guess that's why it never find the phone, anything I can do ?

Thanks for your help,
I tried the 9008 method but it didn't work, I have now som "Kernel crash" error that I don't know how to fix and the the only thing I can do is to access some sort of Download mode (where my screen is black, not with "Firmware Update" written, so the LG Flash Tool doesn't recognize it to flash a rom).

it's probably fastboot mode, what's shown in device manager in windows?

Now I managed to flash something with this qualcomm utility (firmware files extracted from 30B KDZ, all other from 10 version were not responding) and I can have access to either:
- "Firmware Update" screen in DL mode, though I can't flash any stock ROM I found (I tried several DLL and TOT, I get "Model check fail" or some issue with the LAF: my guess is that it may be due to the fact that the recovery I managed to put is 30B and the the TOT I have is 10B so something doesn't work?);
- and on recovery mode I can access to Fastboot mode, but a not very efficient one as for some reason whenever I give a fastboot command it do much, the command run on the computer, then I get the output ". . ." in the command line, and the terminal stay in this state doing nothing...

From the device manager I either can see my phone as LG phone in DL mode, or just as some unknown device in fastboot mode.

You probably missed some steps, with flashing all the partitions, you must flash them in given order, and you must use the same kdz, 10e...try it again from scratch.
Mine g3 is still fully functional, so it's worth a try.
yeah, my phone did fully recover too. where you did you get your stock files? maybe you downloaded wrong files? I mean they're corrupted or something

Yes I followed the order, and finished with sbl1,
Now I can't do it again, I can't connect with the software as my phone is no longer 9008, so I have no idea what to do
