I recently picked up a D851 (TMobile). I rooted it, but did not replace the ROM or install a custom bootloader.
Last weekend, the phone started randomly rebooting. Watching logcat via adb showed me several random apps throwing sig11s, after which the phone would give up and reboot. Cycle repeats.
This looks like a hardware issue, as the apps that crash change on each boot cycle.
I arranged with TMobile to swap the device, but they cautioned me that the phone must be returned to an unrooted state.
I've had a hell of a time with it from here. My first try was to install the LG drivers and the PC Suite under a Windows VM, as I do not run Windows at home. Enabling USB passthrough for the phone to the VM let Windows see the phone, but the LG drivers would invariably fail with 'Device cannot start. Code 10.'. Likewise, the PC Suite couldn't find the phone.
Next step was to throw together some spare hw and install Windows 7 on that (a desparate move, to be certain. ). The LG drivers can now recognize the phone, so that's a definite plus. The LG PC Suite, though, claimed that my phone could not be upgraded. Wonderful.
Next step was to try this tutorial: http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/07/how-to-unroot-lg-g3-all-variants.html . I was able to get further with this method, but as it begins to flash SYSTEM, it pauses, and then dies with 'We can't communicate with Phone'. End result - I now have a soft bricked phone. On the phone, I see the port - COM41 - appear, and the usb animation starts to spin ... and after a few seconds, stops. It's at this point that Flashtool throws the Can't Connect error.
I next tried following this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089 to flash a KDZ. The newer LG Flash tool used here can't create a connection to my phone for flashing.
I've run into a wall here. Any ideas on where to go next? I need to reset this phone back to a working stock state so that I can send it back.

Also - as silly as it sounds, make certain you're using the USB cable that came with the phone. This has solved problems for a lot of people when trying to revert to stock.

I wasn't initially, but I did switch to it last night. Still no go.
I suspect it's either the phone itself (see above: re suspected hw failure), or the PC in question (nVidia chipset on this old motherboard, and I've had more than a few problems with adb talking to phones on nVidia motherboards). I'm going to try Bacardilimon's suggestion tonight, on a PC that has *nothing* nVidia-related in it, before I throw in the towel. As it is, the failing phone needs to be back to TMO by the middle of next week, so I'm all but out of time to resolve this.

There is a link in the general thread on how to return to stock including a method using twrp. It's a sticky thread at the top I've never done the twrp method myself but it can more than likely be done without a computer. Twrp can be installed via Playstore if you don't already have it

Holy hell. That site's links are absolutely infuriating. Anyone who puts each and every download link for software referenced by a howto behind separate timed appearance links that you have to ALSO enter an annoying captcha to enable should be shot out of a cannon - or, at the very least, have their howto ignored by the rest of the world.
Suffice it to say, the quality of that page doesn't give me much confidence that this will work any better than what I've tried already. Since I've already wasted a crapload of time on this project, and more on following those damned links, I'll give it a try tonight, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
Is the author of that page an XDA member? If so, please let me know who he is, so I can berate him personally. Thanks.

I'd consider doing that, except as I mentioned, the G3 in question disconnected during a run of Flashtool, rendering it without a working OS to boot to. The phone now boots straight to download mode. The good news is, it's now officially unrooted. The bad news is, it's also officially bricked until I can get an OS flash to work.

OK I gonna keep it real with you. You can either enter the captcha and fix the issue or throw the phone away. Yes he is a member and for every phone that is out their he has its own page doing this for us. If you can't fix your phone with his method then it not the method but you. I have used this for many bricks. It works and it works great. Sorry if he making you do a little typing but like I said u can use his method or keep trying the other methods. Good luck

After going through the painful process of clicking his links, I found that everything I downloaded is the same thing I already had, except for Flashtool - lgg3root's is actually older. Even the TMO firmware for my phone and the dll are both exactly the same, and I checked by running md5sum on them.
But hey, it must be me. There's clearly no other technology-related cause for this issue. I obviously don't know how to follow a howto, right?
Thanks for 'keeping it real'.

Not likely.
In any case, it failed again. The video he did gave me the exact same steps I followed elsewhere, and unsurprisingly, it failed with 'We can't communicate with Phone', after beginning the flash process. There is something else wrong here, though I'm not certain if the failing phone is at fault or the PC in question is causing the issue. To be crystal clear, the flash process starts, and then, at a random point during the flash, it completely stops, and Flashtool eventually gives up and throws the aforementioned error.
Any other ideas? If not, I'm going to have to try another PC to rule that out as the culprit. Sigh.
Mine gave the same error as well as couldn't communicate with server but the flash process continued running and the phone rebooted took about 3 minutes u learned not to touch any of the popups on the screen during flash and sorry I missed the part about no OS I thought you were booting to recovery... Driving while reading not the best idea

Nope, the phone is definitely not doing anything - the usb animation on the G3 completely stops before Flashtool throws the error.
And damnit, quit reading while driving. You can do that later.
Moved the hdd Windows is installed on to another PC with a different chipset. After it updated drivers, I tried again. Flash proceeded partway, then died. Reset phone, Flashtool reststarted flash from scratch, flash died at 15%.
15% is interesting. While I've seen the flash die at various points, 15% is the one that was most often repeated. This tells me the failure follows the phone, not the PC - which makes sense, as the phone has a suspected RAM failure.
At this point, it appears that flashing this phone is impossible due to faulty hw. Hopefully TMO (and eventually, LG) will accept the faulty phone back with no OS, because there's no way an OS is being written to this device ever again.

No problem. There's nothing I hate more than stumbling across a thread where the OP has the same problem I have, only to find it was never updated with the solution.
Good luck man let us know what tmobile says
My sw3 has been stuck on the 4 dots/symbols for some time now. I have tried XC (even though it ran with success, it did not fix the watch), by way of fastboot, adb and twrp I have run, installed, pushed various files such as recovery, roms, .simg, etc to no avail. I had a thread going on the 4 dots that describes each of these functions with the 4 dot thread title if you care to see what has been done and the results.
The last entry of that thread suggested there may be an issue with my partitions. So, I wondering if anyone knows either how to check/compare and better yet, repair if needed?
Edit: I found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/smar...rsion-t2988087 and I was able to get the watch working again. I still cannot use XC to repair or update, but at least it is working with LP.

Same issue here
Hi,
I have the exact same issue with my sw3, stuck on the four symbols. Like you I managed to flash TWRP and mount the SWR50-LWX48P-repacked ROM. This doesn't do the trick unfortunately because firstly I cannot update the ROM and worst of all the watch will not connect to my smartphone. Like you I suspect there to be an issue with the partitions but I haven't got a clue really. Hope for some help on this.

Yes, I still have not been able to update to MM. Mine does connect to my smartphone with no issues. Although, the last time I did have an issue where it kept cycling and trying to connect to the internet via the phone. So, I went thru the steps again to basically get it back to the ROM you noted above and it is working. One thing I have noticed once I get it going with the steps I used, I cannot boot to twrp via fastboot. I have to go to XC and let it try and repair, which it says it does, but doesn't. I get the 4 dots again, and from there when I fastboot, I can fastboot twrp.img and adb push stuff to install. However, I have noticed that I need to use the flash commands and flash the .simg file noted in my thread in order for the above ROM to actually work. I also noticed when that ROM is installing, it does mention working on partitions...so, it must be doing something to some of them.
I would love to be able to get MM working on this, but I think I have run out of ROMs to try. I'm probably not sequencing something right, but have not clue as to what is wrong. I am an newbie at this.
If you get MM to finally update on your watch, it would be much appreciated if you would share your detailed process in achieving that success.
Hi,
I'm trying to get into the recovery mode on my LG G5 H830 (T-Mobile / Unlocked) phone. Unless I'm doing something wrong, I can't seem to get into the recovery mode so I can perform a wipe data cache function. I seem to remember reading somewhere else that the only way to get into recovery on this phone is to use a computer to do so. On my desktop computer I already have the android studio application installed, but to be honest I'm still trying to learn how to use it. I don't know why lg makes getting into the recovery mode so difficult. I guess I can try to use the buttons on the phone one more time and see if I have any luck. Also I've read possibly using TWRP will possibly let me perform a wipe data cache function. Thank you for any valid suggestions.

Hi David!
Holy cow, you've installed the entire studio? That's way more than you need. Just get the Platform Tools here: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
At a user level, all you'll ever need are ADB and fastboot. Then enable developer settings, enable USB debugging and use the command 'adb reboot recovery'. You sure power + volume down don't work? Or power + volume up for fastboot (to get custom recovery installed)? Note that I have made zero research on this device so it may deviate (I'm on mobile right now). If any of those steps seem difficult or you're unsure how to proceed, just let me know where exactly you're stuck.
Oh and when you send an adb command to your device for the first time (like 'adb devices') it will likely show a trust notification on your screen, asking you to allow this computer to send adb commands. Make sure the remember checkbox is on.
Good luck!

Hi Timmy,
Thanks for being nice and explaining the process to me, that sounds pretty easy. Today my biggest problem is getting vanced to install on my amazon fire 7 tablet (2019 Edition). I've had it running normally on there previously, but a couple of day's ago I started the vanced app and noticed that I wasn't signed into my google account anymore. And when I attempted to sign in I received the now famous notice that said google server's were busy, please try again later. But knowing I had it running before, motivates me to get it running again. In the interim, I'm using the Web Tube app.
David
That's usually a matter of uninstalling both, installing MicroG first, then Vanced.

Hi Timmy,
Unfortunately I've already tried that, now I'm wondering if it's possibly due to me installing google web view on my tablet. All I can do is just keep trying to figure it out.

Proper reboots in between? I don't see how web view would be related but it's always a good exercise to remove recent installations one by one, retrying Vanced in between. Be sure to share your findings if you encounter a potential culprit. It's important for the community to learn from that.
Hi Timmy (I guess it's okay to use this name),
I think before I do anything else, I'll go back and re-read the instructions on how to properly install it. Unless google has done something on their end, I should be able to get it functioning properly. It was installed previously, that's why I don't know what happened.
Thanks,

My firestick downloaded 5.2.7.4 and its broke my accessibility and adb commands. I looked on amazon to see latest versions for their devices and none of em are listed to have 5.2.7.4. Not sure if anyone else is having this problem or if they are rolling out another update and I just got unlucky and got some of the first roll outs of it. I also had ran some debloat commands and not sure if the stick just ran some updates after that. But it was after that it broke. But I have since factory reset and its still broke adb and accessibility. Just wanted to make people aware and see if anyone else has found a fix for this version or any info on a fix.
I having this problem too, cant set custom launcher.. anyone help us??
The 5-6 domains did not block this update either! This update made it through!
I also am wondering about this. Not even the app I used to prevent standby works anymore!
I have been looking all over for any info on the .4 update and no one seems to care as if this update doesn't exist. I have found no info on any existence of .4 except for a select few people sharing the same problem. this update has broke my adb as well as accessibility. Virus scanner wont work custom launcher will work if manually loaded. any app that requires any adb or accessibility are completely broke. sm commands come back as doesnt exists as will as i believe pm commands. only a select few non important commands will work. trying to give details in case it helps at all. but for now just letting developers do their thing and not trying to bother them to much. would love to help more but my 2nd gen tank cant be rooted. so i cant pull a backup or anything from it. not to mention if it was able to be rooted id be golden. Hopefully if someone figures out this whole .4 thing they will be kind enough to post something about it.

Adb works without any Problems.
dont try rooting. 5.2.7.4 wont flash twrp recovery and you are stuck in hacked bootloader.
EDIT: If you know what you are doing you can do the 2 flashes and recovery reboot from the fastboot-step.sh in Windows if you run into the above. It works, got magisk, am rooted.
Mine isnt rooted nor can it be. Its the model that was made in 2020. And I see they have updated the device to say it has 5.2.7.4 but my adb is still broke. I have tried to factory reset and my adb commands are still busted. sm command and pm commands come back as invalid or missing. Not sure whats going on. It doesnt make sense if yours works. Thank you for letting me know your adb is still functioning. I guess Im gonna have to mess with it more.

Done all that. Unfortunately Im stuck. I dont what else to do with this thing. ADB will still connect but all the important commands come back as missing or invalid. such as sm commands and pm commands.
With 5.2.7.4 , you need root for this commands!!!
Thank you for clarifying this. I appreciate that. I unfortunately can't root mine due to manufacture date and them blocking the BL from what Ive read so I guess that stick is limited on its capabilities. But thank you for your time to reply to this. Hopefully this will clear it up for others as well.

That is a common fastboot bug, not related to the fireOS version or the xploit.
Latest ubuntu with a full fastboot install works (fixed), on arch linux (like the 4k fire ISO) it's fixed it too, but also a full reinstall with pacman is necessary.

So just to clarify, 5.2.7.4 OTA has taken custom launcher apart by blocking pm grant permissions in accessibility.
TechdoctorUK mentioned this too a couple of weeks back. It seems the devs at amazon have been all over him lately and have been quoting tutorials etc from his site.
I've been using the ftvlaunchx app wrote to system settings on a post Dec 2019 unrootable 2nd gen and thought I'd blocked 5.2.7.4 update but I came back in today and was fkin horrified it had updated to 5.2.7.4 (I nearly sh't myself) its still optimizing apps just now but I'm hoping, just hoping that due to the pm grant permission already being installed it maybe slip through the net. Wishful thinking I know.
Hurry up and arrive 4k firestick I NEED ROOT
Let me know what you find out with yours. I have been watching the forums to see if and when someone may find a work around. Till then I'll keep tinkering with my 4k version.

Hi noremy, i just made a new thread there on 5.2.7.4, the cure is ftvlaunchx wrote to system settings, install atv launcher pro and set that as default launcher in the ftvlaunchx app, should work with any android tv launcher too.
Big thanks to the developers @github
Edit #### i rebooted and now the home button is not working at all
Only sending me back to amazon screen.

Hi! Mine is a 2nd gen Firestick. After the 5.2.7.4 update, none of my apps are opening. It says "Amazon App Store is out of date. Please visit the Amazon website to install the latest version". When I click on the link, it says Appstore is installed & I am good to go. No matter what I do, same thing happens for each and every app. So I can't use any of the apps on my Firestick. Any suggestions on what this is? Thanks!
The only option I can think off would be to factory reset it. I know its a pain to put everything back on but not sure what else to try.
Didn't know where to post this exactly, to be honest. This will be a long post
I was flashing AOSP roms in the phone. Tried to go back to One UI for the VoLTE thing
In one of the AOSP roms I couldn't install it in Lineage Recovery (older version of the rom thing). I saw i one post that doing an ADB Sideload in TWRP could solve the flashing problem. Did that. No issues
Wanted to test another AOSP rom but didn't boot (bootloop), so then I tried to go back to One UI. Don't remember if I did a format data in that moment.
After installing the rom and reboot to system, the phone doesn't even show the splash screen.
But tried to go to download mode and it went there, so the phone is still alive
Tried also going to recovery and it boots there (just to recovery and download mode)
I tried everything I could:
Flashed another custom ROM without success
Flashed other AOSP roms again
Changed the recovery (Lineage, TWRP and Stock tested)
Flashed the stock firmware through Odin several times
Tried to do a re-partition in Odin
Did several factory resets
Nothing seems to work. The weird thing is that, with any rom that I try to install, it tells that is installed, but when I go to the file manager in TWRP, it doesn't install anything. The free space before the installation is the same as after it. I don't know what else I can do. I just have the hope because the phone starts in BL and recovery
Anyone have any idea of what can I do to solve this? Or if there is a way to install the OS outside Odin or recovery (or ADB)
Tried with fastboot (Lineage Recovery) with several commands, and I think I found the issue. The system partition got corrupted. Need to know how to repair it (tried already with the repair option in TWRP)
Any help with this?

The barbarian from Pakonan has no idea about this but in your case he would do the following since I have had your problems and it was resolved positively.
I'm going to try to help you, I don't know English and I use a translator, I hope it's good to understand each other. Luck
First option
1 I want you to put through odin in AP twrp-3.6.0_9-2-d2s_official_jan22.tar unchecking auto reboot
2 in twrp delete data and say YES restart in twrp again and try to install PixelExperience_d2s-12.1-20220522-1749-OFFICIAL. I understand you will have it on the SD, if not, put the ROM on a USB key and try to install it in TWRP.
If you manage to install it, then install magisk apk and restart the system.
3 once started install magisk apk and ready.
Second option
1 I want you to put through odin in AP twrp-3.6.0_9-2-d2s_official_jan22.tar unchecking auto reboot
2 in twrp delete data and say YES reboot in twrp again and install the Recovery lineage.img and reboot in Recovery lineage and Factory reset & reset system partitions
3 Install the PixelExperience_d2s-12.1-20220522-1749-OFFICIAL. I understand you will have it on the SD, if not, put the ROM on a USB key and install from there. turn off the phone and
4 in download mode odin AP twrp-3.6.0_9-2-d2s_official_jan22.tar unchecking auto reboot reboot into TWRP
5 Install Magisk apk and reboot system.
once started install magisk apk and ready.
remember to have the cable plugged in to enter TWRP and download while you are following the steps. Good luck, you will say.
Salu2 of your most faithful infidel Pako
To update the situation
The battery of the phone in inflated like a balloon. I don't know for sure if that was caused by something physical, but will update when have some news
i still have the same problem and still hunger for a solution because i just bought it .. Been running quite a few firmwares now. and bootloaders and kernels and recoverys so far... but whats funny is in pixel recovery it said i had a "d2x" model which is SM-N976 model with 5G... But every elsewhere it says d2s which is note10+. Odin also says SM-N975F model... But anyways... I really really hope someone finds a solution. Because im stuck as hell...
I also made a thread my self
Partly bricked... SM-N975F
Hey guys.. Ive been a visitor in XDA forums for quite a while... And i been running root and custom FW with more or less every samsung from S2 and up... But i just got my self a note10+ (atleast thats what ive been told) and i wanted to root it...
forum.xda-developers.com
And i think its VBMETA problem. BUT i dont have any experience on that term...
Crossing fingers still...
I might have found a solution
Holy Hell, Im am so glad im not the only one that this is happened to. I will be more happy when we find a solution. I have put myself (device) in some questionable states but this has been a first and strange one for me . Its like being so close to booting into system then nothing.

Android Verified Boot 2.0
I found this link this morning. Im sure this is the culprit.
I experienced today something like you. It did not let me flash even stock firmware. But I succeeded to get out. I flased via ODIN BL slot from Dr.Ketan and in AP slot TWRP and nothing else. And I managed to enter the TWRP recovery and from there I restored previous backup.
I will try to do a multipost due to more threads and problems which are the same...
But this is the solution...
In my folder on the picture you will see 2 files i marked with green color...
Use the file and burn it according to your current setup. Odin or custom recovery.
And the problem will be solved. Used 14 days and countless of hours to get out of this boot loop!
So im finally happy to see the boot up screen without pressing into download mode or recovery mode...
The folder on the picture is to be found on this forum... Just cant remember from which thread exackly

Bless you. My poor phone was down since 6-20. I was just kicking myself in the ass the other day saying if I got my phone to boot again i would never flash **** it on it ever again... @Titanity thank you so much for making me look like a liar. Now lets see what else we can do lol.
So you got it to work? And whats up next?

Yes it did. I have gotten myself in some pretty bleak spots in the past and have been able to resolve all my issues on my own research, troubleshooting, trial and error etc. but I had never had a device that was actually able to power on, flash twrp, stockfirmware pass in odin, tried all type of pit file patches, adb and fastboot commands and still not be able to get into OS completely stumped me and I had exhausted so much time on it that i came to the conclusion that one of the talented members of XDA would for sure come up with a solution and I was right.
Sorry for the blabber, Ive been just a watcher of this site for many years and have never had to engage so my apologies for my forum etiquette.
I main focus now is to find a good rom to run with nethunter. I was running Dr. ketan Rom with nethunter while installing every LSposed Module that sounded cool and was beyond impressed by how stable my device still performed (one of my largest TWRP backups was 49Gb btw.) So yea, look for something with a strong kernal, light rom to see what I like. I have yet to try the new roms out due to unfamiliar processes of installing outside of Odin. Its been a while since I had some free time tinker in this space again.
Yea im just a watcher my self... it took me a few days until i decided to make this solution. Because i do think it was a important solution i found. But yes im just a watcher my self...
Now im stuck again though because i have a faulty usb-c, so its claming theres water inthe entrance which there isnt. And i been looking all over the forums for a solution like 3 times now. And people are just trying to trick the fault or acturally have a solution... But thats only IF they have water inside and the stupid alarm goes off...
Instead i need a solution to disable it now that its rooted. So need to know exackly what to look for and theres no help to get here. So kinda stuck... Irritating because i just wanna use it for dex... And not dex wiesless because its lagging on the mouse and what not... So my adapter need the recharge entrance and ... doh! Long journey so far... And its far from ended...
But im very happy it worked out for you... Keep in touch if you need another silly question. Then i might have silly questions for you aswell Good day my friend
@Titanity Bless your heart, I need your help . I broke my friends phone which is a note 10 plus, and all that you guys mentioned about trying everything I did as well.. I read your solution but I dont know where to find the files you marked and how to go about them exactly... the phone is currently on stock recovery and is stuck there.
Okay do you have a option to use a mic and the software discord? i do belive its easier for both of us if we can do this with direct communication. If you dont want to use / have a mic. Then its also fine. Discord got a chat aswell so dont be shy I have my own discord which is:
Join the thetitanity @ twitch.tv Discord Server!
Check out the thetitanity @ twitch.tv community on Discord - hang outwith 17 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.
discord.gg
Ill pop op now and then, but im not a streamer anymore on twitch. So dont be mistaken by the server info...
Look forward to see you on there. And ill make sure to have the files ready for you
Until then haha
EDIT: I just uploaded a package filled with "i help you in case of emergency" files. Make sure to download it before entering discord. Get it at...
https://easyupload.io/xwlk0w - and the PW is: titanity (30 days avalible)
Also have info ready like: is the model a 975F or? what firmware is on it at the moment. Is the bootloader unlocked. But also things like do you ever used TWRP before and know how to use it etc?
Its a package filled with files of my choice, but made by people from the forum. So no credit goes to me but them...
Have in mind that all the time i been on the forum i always just read the forum and downloaded when needed, so its the first time im trying to help others... But im optimistic!
