g960w stuck booting into recovery - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

Hi. I have a phone, not mine, given to me broken in this state, so not sure how it got into this state. I can only reboot it into recovery mode:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Some things.
1. Volume up doesn't work. Apparently it didn't work when the phone was working.
I wonder if it's stuck in some position that forces it to go into this mode??
2. Tried to wipe cache and wipe data/factory reset, doesn't help.
3. Tried the "Apply update from ADB", and when I pick that, it tells me to run 'adb sideload <filename>'. So I tried to get stock firmware (G960WVL9FUJ1_G960W)YV9FUJ1_FMC.zip) and tried to sideload that from PC. Always gets stuck verifying the package (and 0% on PC adb).
Wasn't sure if I was supposed to do it with the zip or the files within the zip. Tried both and no luck
4. Tried to do it with SD card, it failed immediately (forget the error, could try to reproduce and tell you error if you think it will help).
5. Tried to use Odin. Cannot get Odin to recognize the phone at all.
I think drivers are installed properly (would adb devices work if the drivers weren't installed right??).
Not sure what else to try next.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks!

error while trying to upgrade to 2.2

ok, this is what happened:
1. I rooted Clockwork (successfully) to my phone
2. I replaced Froyo with Eclair using Odin
3. I downloaded Samsung's Desktop Manager to upgrade to Android 2.2
4. after I connected my phone to PC, my phone went blank
5. when I pressed the power button, it booted to this error message:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",

}
(it's a Phone then a "!" then a PC. so I presume it's about the Epic to PC connection :/)
I can NOT boot in recovery mode or any other mode, it stays right there on that message
I've NEVER heard nor seen of this message before
can someone PLESASE help me?
EDIT: can a mod please delete/move this?
I pulled my battery out for about 10 mins, put and left it in (but didn't power it on)
about 2 hrs later I turned it back on and I completed the upgrade
very weird :/

[Q] ADB Backup not working

I have used ADB backup before and have 2 backup files saved. i am trying to backup my Galaxy Note 2 and it wont seem to work. It is running 4.1.2 stock rom. I have rooted it since my last backup and now it doesnt seem to work. I have tried with SDK tools updated fully and copied the adb files into the correct folder. I have also tried deleting all sdk files and only updating to 4.1.2 and it still doesnt work. I have done it before using the command prompt but this time it seems to fail.
It recognizes my device and my device has debugging mode on. But when I run the backup command as I always have it says unable to connect.
Any suggestions or help? I really want to backup everything since I almost just bricked my phone by spilling water on it. But got it cleaned and used Odin to get it working again. I want to full backup just in case it bricks out again.

"lightbox_share": "Share",

}
Anyone have any ideas? If not another way to fully backup everything? My phone is rooted.

Stuck in fastboot menu

I tried to follow the instructions throu the lg's website in order to unlock the bootloader of my phone (i installed adb and all) but my phone seems to be stuck in the fastboot menu. I never rooted it, i never flashed anything, it was always working (never stuck in bootloop) and now i get this. When i type in cmd "adb reboot bootloader" it works, but when im going to type "fastboot oem device-id" which is the next step, it doesnt do anything and the cmd says <waiting for the device> so i think that my phone gets stuck/freezes. However, if i open its back and remove the battery and place it again its all working (normal boot) like nothing happened. But when i try to do my job throu the fastboost mode i see nothing but only this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
EDIT: solved, i uninstalled the drivers from the pc and i let windows update install them for me.
Boot to twrp and flash a rom from sd or fix with lgup or flash tool in dl mode as stated you have the lg logo so u should still have those modes as you only deleted OS.

System wiped..

Hello,
I have a Mi 6 rooted with TWRP 3.2.3-0. I tried Pixel Experience 9.0 and when I tried to go back to MIU 10 unfortunately I deleted system so right now when I try to conect my phone thourgh TWRP the computer says I cannot copy anything into the store.
When I try to flash any ROM with Mi Flash it appears the Echo missmatching problem (I attach a pic).
I even formated my computer, installed everything from 0 and nothing..
I send you some pictures,
The first one is to prove ADB and drivers are installed correctly:
View attachment 4698763
the second one is the problem appears when I try to create a new folder in the MI 6 store conected through TWRP. it says like "You cannot create the new folder in this location. The device doesn't respond or it's disconected":
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The third one is Mi flash problem, I tried as well with the ROM directly in C: and nothing:
Any help please??
Thank you very much and sorry for my English.
Probably your device is encrypted, and' that's why your PC can't mount it correctly, boot into TWRP go to Wipe -> Select FORMAT instead, it will clear the internal storage, then try to reconnect your phone to your PC
Hope that helps
Finally I formated a new TWRP and the computer detected it so I fixed everything!!
Thank you so much!

Moto g7 power

Is anyone able to help with this, I’ve got my G7 power unlocked, adb is installed fast boot shows the device I run fast boot devices,
However I cannot flash recovery I just get error cannot Load ‘twrp.img’: No Such File or Directory”

error cannot Load ‘twrp.img’
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
...but you did download the file already?
https://twrp.me/motorola/motorolamotog7.html
...and did point correctly to the image-file's location?
fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img
I changed the file name and now it says it worked okay, however now when I go the refinery mode it just says no command

Do you mean recovery mode? Cannot recall ever having such error (or my frist coffe hasn't kicked in) but seems recovery wasn't installed after all.
Well, if you just want LOS, do you know this guide as well?
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/river/install
Apologies , I mistyped. When I run fastboot boot loader then select recovery mode I can see the android robot and just no command under it. Can’t do anything need to reboot again to be able to select anything.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then I'd assume recovery wasn't written to the phone: Did you install the zip after pushing it to the phone? Was there any error shown?
