Stuck in boot loop and can't get into fastboot mode to use adb, need help - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I followed this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/unlock-bootloader-install-twrp-root-t3128241
Here's what I did:
Unlocked bootloader
Booted into TWRP (version 3.0) (didn't install, just booted into)
Flashed SuperSU
Rebooted into system
Now whenever I boot the device I'm stuck in a boot loop.
So I can't boot the device up or get into fastboot mode (what should fastboot mode look like? I got into download mode at some point), not sure what to do?

I had same problem once, managed to handle it with LGUP and refubrish full stock rom

I tried LGUP but it says the Model is "unknown" so when I select my phone it says "You have to select a known model, please." Can someone help?

I also tried flashing a stock kdz using LG flash tool but I got an error. Does anyone know what I can do? I can get my phone into download mode but don't know what to do on my computer.
I'll give someone $20 if they can help fix my phone for me

I had the same problem.
If you can get your phone in the download mode, than try this.
1: Install LGBridge,
2: Boot your phone in download mode & start LGBridge,
3: Than on Software Update tab, on the bottom right corner, you will see an option saying "Update Error Recovery"
4: Click on it and your phone will be flashed to latest firmware. Make sure you are connected to net as it will need to download it.
Once the update it complete, Your phone should reboot normally.
Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

If this error shows up because of bad recovery, boot into normal ROM, root and flash stock recovery or twrp
If this error shows up because of bad boot.IMG, then you'll have to restore firmware from kdz file via download mode.(download mode = plug in usb plus volume up(?)... You should see a "Download" logo, brightness mat be very low and you have to squint )
Thanks
Yes thanx i figured it out from reading threw the forums but your help was much appreciated now to find out why my vk810 will not upgrade to 4.4.2 keep getting a error message

I went to the Verizon store just now, their vk810 were still on 4.4.2, "check for update" says no update
Try updating via WiFi. If you removed any system apps, you need to put them back
Also, at least post the error :/... How can I help you debug if you don't tell me which step had the problem (can't search for update, update failed with x error code, tablet blew up to pieces during update...)
i did post it in another thread i started but never really got answers

Hi,
Just to know if this problem is solved...
If it is, then this is most probably useless... unless somebody else stumps into the same problem.
If I can guess it correctly, this message typically display when you have rooted your V500, installed a custom recovery from an app flasher (i.e. Flashify, ROMToolBox...) and the recovery isn't compatible with your device and you tried a hard reset.
This means that you are able to boot into fastboot and that is what's going to save you
Why ? Simply put : because you can flash some files using the fastboot command line
Try to flash bootloaders, aboot, boot and recovery just for a try. You can find those I guess.
Regards.
Stuck with "Fastboot mode started"
I was currently on Altev vk81035b-rooted-SU installed but no custom recovery. I followed Altev-Hnk1 instructions for flashing aboot.4.2.2 & commands (dd if=/......Etc) you know the rest) which successfully copied the file. Then when I typed "reboot recovery" BAM, that's when my gPad slapped me in the face with the following--> Fastboot mode started udc_start()
I press & constantly hold "power & down" buttons which always brings me to "System Recovery" screen listing 4 options, "Continue reboot"-"Factory data reset"-"Wipe Cache"-"Safe mode boot". Anytime I have a problem I'll choose "safemode" which always got me back in after any "Boot Verification Errors", but now it doesn't & I'm stuck no matter what I chose. I'm starting to think I may need to connect my laptop and flash the KDZ starting from scratch with plain-Jane Verizon stock!?!? Whatcha think, yes-no-maybe so!?!? LOL

bricked phone

So,in my stupidity to install an ota update after rooting my phone,I managed to get it stuck in a bootloop. Now I followed some guides on the internet,downloaded the pre-rooted images,but fastboot doesnt want to flash system.img. I tried to download the img from different sources,none worked. The error just says cannot load system.img.I installed fastboot with the 15 second installer,I havent done any other modifications besides rooting and I cant even access recovery mode,it just shows me error in red text.Is there anything I can do myself or do I need to send my phone in service? Thanks! btw the model is ZE551ML

Hello there,
Few days ago, I had the same problem. But luckly I found a way to fix it. I was so desperate.
1) Download "CWM Zenfone_2_Intel"
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/w70...5840/Zenfone_2
Then unzip
2) Go in fastboot mode in your Zenfone 2, and connect it to your PC
3) In the downloaded folder, run "cai_dat_CWM.bat"
4) Type ACCEPT
Then Enter
5) Then if the script is blue, that's perfect. Type T4, Enter, and normally your Zenfone will reboot in CWM Recovery Mode.
6) If that worked, download the ROM stock on the Asus Website, copy it on the SD Card, then flash it from the CWM Recovery Mode.
This method fix my bootloop, but a brick I don't know...
If it didn't work, try to install "15 seconds adb installer"

About the update from 5.0 to 6.0 bootloop. (Genisys Rom 2.6.zip)

I want to ask that it hasn't any solutions yet??
I have flash Genisys Rom 2.6.zip than reboot that have a bootloop problem....
Will it be a solutions then?
Any idea??

Yes I flash it back those v20a bootloader, boot and modem after I got into the twrp, then I reboot it, it is stuck on the LG logo screen now...
and now I can't go back to the fastboot mode and the twrp...that 's the problem...
any idea to go back the twrp?
i'm stuck on same thing.
What I've tried.
! flashing back to stock rom using lg flash tool. Crashes at 9%. Tried flashing 20A file not allowed
both adb and fastboot methods don't work as adb doesn't detect phone and fastboot get's stuck on waiting on device
Basically the phone is stuck on boot logo after upgrading to marshmallow which all went fine and phone booted as normal after I then reinstalled the twrp recovery as before so to install supersu after boot that when the problem started. The phone can get into factory reset the two yes methods which I have tried still no luck and I can also get into download mode. basically am I waiting on a update to lg flash tool or have I ducked my phone any help would be appreciated
You probably ****ed the security flag added into marshmallow and it didn't like it one bit,that's why its better the flash newer versions of a rom when you have a recovery then an official ota ,that's where they get ya locked down .is there any devices in the device manager at all? Just checking if its hard bricked.if its labeled as q9xxxx something like that then its definitely hard bricked.like not even a jtag can get er back

No its listed as two different devices as LGE andriodnet serial port com4 and also LGE andriodnet usb modem. I have noticed that if i uninstall these two from within device manager that it then goes back to an lgmobile phone with a i on the phone icon in device manager. I have tried to find the proper driver so to make the computer see the lg phone again without error via extracting driver install exe but no joy it goes back to the above.
I wonder Is it possible to flash the .img files that are boot. system etc using lg flash tool the one with the tot methid via a script and the files I wonder. Or even convert the files needed to do a complete flash of system bootloader etc to bin files so to be read by the lg flash tool used in the tot version. or is there any other software that can convert kdz to bin.

I think this is impossible to flash the .img files that are boot. Because we cannot to go into the fastboot mode.

:highfive:In the same boat, XDA's brother TheBledard Who has a same trouble in the bootloop. He said that you can use the octopus box to unbrick.
But it seem a little bit expensive....:cyclops:
Same
I had the same problem. They recently reposted the download to a fixed 2.6 so try to redownload from the genesys post. Also, flash the marshmallow kernel and supersu right after, then followed by genesys theme if you choose to use.
Retry and retry to start twrp at boot with sleep button and volume down button.... I had the same problem with marshmallow because i forgot to flash v20a bootloader, and i had finally access to twrp after a lot of times...

Today's CM14 bricked my H815 (no bootloader, no fastboot, no recovery)

Hi,
My H815 always suffered from this problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/fastboot-download-mode-problem-t3466649 - the only way I could have fastboot was from an adb shell.
Well, that was not a problem until today: CM14's nightly broke (booting just loops at the moving logo) and now I have no way to go back to fastboot. And if I try the recovery mode, I just have a blurry circle saying "erasing" for a few seconds, then a looping CM logo.
Anyone has a way out of this mess ?

When you say you try the recovery mode how do you try to get into it? Btw do you have twrp installed?
Same thing happened to me, tried to install, just got put straight back in to TWRP after boot. Tried installing a stock ROM, CM ROM & using LG Bridge to recover, to no avail. Help appreciated, (i'm assuming LGUP is going to come up a lot)

Sorry, it's nearly the same issue though, CM14.1 broke phones today.
Today's update broke mine as well. Looking for solutions. Will follow your thread and progress.
Same for me. Tried download mode with lgup to flash stock which worked once - but I kind of bricked it again by trying to install cm14.1 again. Then i tried to go back to stock using lgup again, but now lgup it just crashes. The phone now goes automatically to download mode after turning it on, the progress bar stays at 0%, the phone says "633A B100" and lgup crashes after 9% "prepare dlmode" or something similar. any ideas? :/
Some people seem to have fixed this issue by flashing the official Cyanogenmod Recovery.

After flashig the CM Recovery via TWRP, i can't use the recovery anymore. If i boot into CM-Recovery the display shows "Ereasing" and start the system. After that i got a bootloop.
Is it possible to use fastboot??
You guys should also check CM14.1 thread because people there are talking about the same problem. The latest post says the only solution was to flash an official kdz with LGUP.

Did that. Worked once. Then i tried to flash cm again and had the same problems, so i wanted to flash stock again... now lgup crashes at 9% and the phones goes directly to download mode after turning it on.

And the two times you tried to flash CM, that was with the same recovery ?

Yes, it was with cm recovery 20161130, if i remember correctly.
Sadly now, i can not go into fastboot. The phone goes directly into download mode. My windows vm detects the phone, and tries to flash a recent kdz, but lgup crashes at 9%. The phone still shows "0%".
Oh that's bad. What about another kdz ?

Already tried like 3-4.... Its always the same. If the tool would at least give me a little bit more information, but it just stops.
I don't know then. Some users seem to have had the same problem (stuck at 9%) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/search/forum/4233?query=lgup 9%
I had the same issue, tried several things, my final solution was:
- Start in download mode (Volumen up and then plug in cable)
- use "LG Brigde" on Mac to install stock Rom ( Software update tab in APP ) guess should also work with Windows
- Boot original android
- enable usb debug
- Start bootloader via ADB
- fastboot flash recovery to twrp 3.0.2
- Boot in recovery via power and vol down (first factory reset from stock appears but after this twrp is starting)
- install cm nighty of 1 DEC via ADB sideload
- reboot and done
In the meantime i updated to twrp 3.0.2-1., installed gapps etc. everything is now working fine again.
Hope this is also working for you.
Which version of cm14 did u download and install? Can u please post the exact version?
Mmh ... LGUP is the Windows utility right ? How do I do if I only have a Linux machine ?

I'm trying to get to it via power+down, I get to the double "do you want to factory reset ?" question, but then :
- sometimes the CM recovery just says "erasing" for a few seconds and reboots to (non-working) CM
- sometimes it just plainly boots to (non-working) CM
I used to have TWRP installed but it didn't work with CM update, so I let CM install its own recovery.

Secure booting error after Hidden menu test

Hello,
i dropped my phone last night and at first boot phone clock changed and i could not connect wifi. i tried to connect wifi today but it did not worked. Thats why i opened hidden menu by using *#546368#*855# test my phone if there is a hardware problem or not. i clicked first option then second option my phone got reset but i got Secure booting error after that and it stuck. Then i opened twrp by using factory data reset option. i got backup of my data from twrp menu.
What should i do now?
Notes:
- i use twrp + android 6.0 rooted firmware
- i dont know if can can install apk since i cant open android system
- i dont want to install stock rom by a pc because i think i will lose all info on phone and ont be able to get them back without twrp.

It would be better not to flash those kdz files.
You could have asked here before proceeding,but it doesn't matter now.
For the topic that you sent,I'm not sure that it will work.
So,can enter in Download mode (Click on it to see how to enter)
If you can,please reply.
