Now my phone couldn't switch back to adb mode, only stays at LG screen..... What can i do in fastboot mode? I try to do the command to restore the stock recovery, no working at all.....and all errors..... And my pc only can detect the phone when its in Fastboot mode, which is i can't flash stock rom or else..... Is there anything that i can do to get my phone back?

Nah, now the phone only stays at LG screen or fastboot mode, so pc couldn't detect the phone at all....
No solution?
Check my guide in general section
Why did you install TWRP if you have a locked BL? Have you tried sending commands via fastboot to get into DL mode? Also have you tried to flash the stock ROM via fastboot using the fastboot flash img command?

Your phone is in secure lock! and flashes led?
Hold power and vol down when turning phone on, when LG logo appears stop pressing and press again, then it will say to hard reset, say yes!, then u go to fasboot, from there fasboot boot TWRP, and do what u want!, remember to see instructions! you have to backup ur recovery just in case...

Actually G3 only have one or few versions are BL unlocked, and they are not the international version that i got, so no hope..... Since i took it to warranty, what they have to do is to change the mainboard and that's it

The thing is they can't check it out coz they can't use the ordinary way to access into the phone and its files, so the only way is to change mainboard

Only the D851(T Mobile) has an unlocked BL. I would just be careful because they could always not cover it under warranty.

so I had a similar problem. The service said that the phone is not in Ukraine. because it can not do.
But there was no official service to the man who revived all.
Try to find out if he can help remotely.
Shipping to Ukraine for repair will be abnormally expensive.

I bought mine from Hong Kong, im in Sydney, so i took it to LG in Sydney to check. And they said they only can do is to change the mainborad, but since the phone is not bought in Australia, so i have to pay. That's why i send it back to Hong Kong for warranty.

Hi All,
Request all to provide any suggestions related to the below issue:
I rolled back from android n preview 2 to android m after which my display is scrambled.I am not able to view any thing on it.
But I am getting calls and able to pick them when I roughly expect the place where I can swipe the dialer right to pick the call.
Few things that I want to highlight is :
1)I had unstable wifi connection while downloading the android m OTA.
2)I removed the unlock bootloader check before rolling back in the developer options.
3)I can also sense that i am able to take screen shots when I am holding the power button and the volume down button based on the sound it normally makes (while capturing screenshots)
I am not able to come to conclusion whether this a hardware issue?(may be i need the replacement of the screen) or can it be due to corrupt ota file update?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
thanks
I would first see if flashing the m factory image solves the issue. Then look at hardware.

use "adb reboot bootloader" from command prompt to enter bootloader or if you know the device is off, press power + vol up + vol down for roughly 5sec, thatll get into bootloader. than flash factory image.
or last case scenario use wug fresh toolkit to force flash the image, make sure you select the device fails to boot box (I think that's what its called, the only other one states "device on/normal" <-- so NOT that one)

yes, the adb command will only work if debugging is on. Once in bootlader, use fastboot commands, debugging doesn't matter at that point.

Hi All,
I got the cable ,I had everything to flash the official factory images.But the problem is as mentioned earlier I haven't checked the oem unlock in the developer option and this is not allowing to flash the factory images and fastboot flashing unlock is failing.
Is there any work around for this please?

Not that I'm aware of. Sorry, there is a thread on here that may prove useful that deals with bricked phones with OEM unlocked off. The info there might help you at least get back to stock.

You might want to look into android screencast.
I don't know if it still works with the latest android releases, but back in kitkat days if I had a screen that wouldn't display I could use screencast and I'd get the framebuffer displaying on the PC. While viewing on PC I could then do touchscreen "guesses" more accurately and presumably you'd be able to enable OEM unlocked bootloader so you can flash factory images.
Hi,
My phone got a message about a virus which I assumed was a devious add, it wouldn't go away so I rebooted. It has gone into Mi-Recovery 3.0 and I cant get out. I've tried to connect to PC suite but it won't connect to my laptop
without debugging, which I can't do. I've wiped data but no good. Any ideas?
Flash full rom img via EDL mode and MiFlash software. Check out the official forums how to do it all.
For me the command fastboot oem edl works to get into edl mode.

Thank you for answering. I have downloaded a full rom and the MiFlash software. I have made an EDL cable but nothing happens. From what I read it says turn the phone off and connect the modified cable and it will enter EDL mode however it just stays on the Mi-Recovery 3.0 page. I've tried the command line you suggest but that can't find the phone. I've also tried the test point method and still can't get into edl mode. What am I doing wrong?
Sorry, I'm new to this so don't really know what I'm doing. Would you be able to give me some easy to follow advise or some links please.

You need your normal USB C cable. When you are in fastboot you need to type "fastboot oem edl" your screen will go to black and you are now in EDL mode. Now flash full img via miflash software.

When you turn off the phone and press vol down + power what does that do?
It shows the Mi start screen then boots strait into recovery Main Menu. I can't turn the phone off without it rebooting.
Does anyone know how I can get around this? I've run out of things to try.
Did you try reflashing the recovery maybe that fixes it?

Maybe your volume rocker buttons are faulty .
Happened with one of my friend his device was only booting into recovery mode on reboot because vol+ button was permanently stuck ?
Try to lift up the button if it is stuck or
press button repeatedly for sometime .
Ashish 289, you are right, it was a faulty volume rocker. Once disconnected it booted. Thanks.

So I've got into a big trouble... I wanted to manually update my Pixel 6 Pro to the latest version using an official OTA (since the update wasn't available yet for my country and I wanted to stay up-to-date). It was all fine until it said 74 % done... and the power in my house has completely turned off... The device hasn't given me any error and rebooted, hower it got stuck on a Google logo. I rebooted to the recovery mode how it was suggested and did a clean factory reset, then rebooted again... and nothing changed, only the logo background has changed (white vs black). The BIGGEST problem is, the device OEM is NOT unlocked I tried entering the fastboot mode and flashing the device with a recovery image but it obviously didn't work as it required OEM to be unlocked... I am in a big depression now, somehow I fear that it's not fixable... But if some awesome soul could suggest a way to try out, that would be great! Thanks in advance.
I would try the android flash tool and flash the whole full ROM onto the phone. Expect to lose your data though.

Doesn't your phone have to be unlocked to use the flash tool?
The data is all backed up so it's not a problem to lose it. The problem is actually making the phone to boot past the logo... I will try that Android Flash Tool but I fear that the phone should be unlocked first
Try this tool: https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/carrier_selection
Not sure if its any different to the android flash tool.
As expected, Android Flash Tool requires you to to have the device unlocked. At this point I am out of ideas and is truly disappointed. The tool mentioned above probably works the same way.
Maybe try sideloading OTA again. Are you able to do that?

Oh crap, didn't think about that.
I know not everyone has access to a laptop but if you do always use that over a desktop. In the event of something like this you will have the battery power to carry you through.
I'm sorry this happened to you. The only option may be to send it to Google for repairs.
Sorry for your phone. I experienced this on a nexus 6 that didn't have USB debugging or OEM unlock enabled. I tried sideload, put the update package on the phone storage, try to update with Android recovery. Nothing worked. Stuff happens with phones. I hope you can get a new phone.
God bless.
Sorry to hear this. It seems that I need to open USB debugging option just in case for my Pixel 6, which finally arrived across the ocean after a month.

Since the Repairtool has not been updated for your needs and considering that your device is not unlocked, your only option is to contact Google (/your seller). Maybe they can offer you an updated version of the tool (unlikely) or replace your device.
You just described, btw, my horror scenario when updating the BIOS of my PC. The lights going out, when doing a firmware update o.o
Oh my. I'm so sorry for you to have experienced that.
Ok, so I did a CMOS reset on my main PC, since it also failed to load after the lost power accident. Loaded my PC then just fine and tried connecting the phone again. Got to recovery mode and tried "adb devices" command... and it listed my Pixel device !! I tried the "adb sideload" command but it's stuck at 5% for at least 20-30 mins. The phone's last message is "Verifying update package". Not sure if it's a good sign, but afaik if USB debugging is off etc, you can not use adb commands. What would you guys suggest, try waiting for another 30 mins or unplug the phone, restart PC and try again? I am using USB-A to USB-C cable btw, maybe I could use USB-C to USB-C.

My apologies for asking the obvious - did you select "adb sideload" in the recovery menu ? At least I was blind enough to oversee that I need to select this option first
Can you boot into fastboot from the recovery ? If yes you could also try installing a factory image instead of the update package.... I read you cannot because your device is locked, but you can unlock in fastboot (you can always relock later).... only downside is that this will clear all data on the phone for sure....

I had a similar issue with applying ota updates and have seen quite a few reports of users having trouble. Not sure what the deal is, but for some reason this phone seems super finicky with updates. Are you still in the return window? You may want to reach out to Google support or one of their "authorized repair shops".
For me, I ran the flash all bat, rebooted, got a message saying my device can't be trusted. So I rebooted, wiped data, rebooted again and got the same thing. So I rebooted, ran the flash all bat file again, rebooted phone, and screen went black and it never powered on again. Suspect circuit board may have fried some how. Anyways, long story short, contacted Google and had a replacement sent out with minimal hassle.

so you can get through this... you'll be fine. pick adb sideload and it will say waiting, then run the command.
you can also change slots at the bootloader menu or try running the unlock oem command to see if it will allow you to unlock..... not sure if you can change slots without unlocking bootloader. try different USB ports on your computer (and restart your computer just in case) along with using the latest platform tools (adb/fastboot) and USB driver directly from Google (not third party apps or websites.
download the OTA zip again (and just open and close it quickly to verify it isn't corrupt).. and also make sure you have 5-10GB of space free on your computer.
usually the boot slot is changed whenever an OTA is flashed. it will tell you what slot you're in at the bootloader menu (where it says fastboot and device state locked).
can you try holding power button (when it's not plugged in) and as soon as you see then Google logo, hold volume down. that will get you to safe mode. and as quickly as you can, enable "OEM Unlocking" - which will allow you to flash a full factory image.
sorry for this comment being all over the place. if you need help, just reply, and I'll be more methodical next time

I read you cannot because your device is locked, but you can unlock in fastboot (you can always relock later).... only downside is that this will clear all data on the phone for sure....

I don't think the problem is that his bootloader is locked - it's unlocked, however, they factory reset the device which likely caused USB Debugging to be turned off, as it defaults to after a factory reset.
I'm so glad years ago I swore to use Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) for all the PCs I build for myself or my wife.
Hello, i tried helping my grandmother by installing the global rom on her Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro WIFI, however as it didn't work i tried forcing the rom onto it by flashing it manually using fastboot, after this i am not able to power it on, or reach fastboot. It's just a black screen it doesn't matter how long you hold the power key it's just completely black.. Is there something i can do???? Or is it completely destroyed?
Global ROM is not available for PRO version. Probably you flashed a wrong one. Try flashing back the CN one matches your model.

long press "Volume Down" + "Power" for a few seconds at the same time and then release only"Power" once the fastboot logo appears, finally release "Volume Down" to enter the fastboot mode

Is there anything I can do? Brick help
My Xiaomi mi5 does not turn on. No lights, fastboot is not accessible, resetting it does not do anything. Basically for any combination of buttons that I press, nothing happens and the screen stays black - it is completely dead. However, when I...

Yeah so the only problem with this is that mine won't even show up even though i have said drivers installed.. I'm starting to think it's hard bricked
Hello, yes same as me. The tablet are in the 9008 edl state when you put it on your computer. there are many flashing tools out there, the problem are the flash authentification from xiaomis side. i prepared a empty pc with windows 10 and loaded the last fastboot image. then i got a telegram contact from a russian guy who was able to use the xiaomi auth procedure, cost me 30 dollar and 3 days to find out this crap
Xiaomi needs a better way to unbrick its devices instead of Authorized Mi Accounts
Xiaomi has locked down the EDL mode on all of its devices, making it nigh impossible to unbrick a device without an Authorized Mi Account. Read on for more!

When it's plugged into the PC, is it recognised with "fastboot devices" or "adb devices"?
If it is you should be able to wipe with "fastboot -w" and start again.
Google detailed instructions.

Unfortunately no, i do not get any response from fastboot whatsoever, there's no device detection in either fastboot or device manager. I even tried on my laptop which is brand new still no sign of life

Don't give up yet!
Charge the tablet with another cable that you know works.
Make sure that you have the most up to date version of Platform Tools.
Make sure that when you're in the Command Prompt that you are in the Platform Tools folder.
Check connections with another device....

Have you got the most up to date version of Platform-tools installed and are you checking the connection from a CMD prompt in that Platform-tools folder?

Could you please link me one of those? I'm over in the EU so maybe they'll be fairly easy to find?

Yeah, i've been doing all of that. I just now found out that there's an EDL cable specifically made for flashing in that mode
