is this **** bricked??

its just sitting on the freaking LG screen... every time i vol dwn + pwr and double press power it goes normal but then cwm doesn't come up and it just restarts and hangs at LG again. i ****ing hate this phone can someone please help me out? why won't cwm load

can you describe exactly the process you took to port CWM into your phone? Let's see if something happened along the way to cause it to not work properly.
Also, is CWM the one not working, or did you flash a ROM on your phone and something went wrong, and you are trying to get to CWM to restore your phone but not getting anywhere with it?

followed the steps on the cwm thread. used terminal emulator. worked great. was working fine until now. i flashed kernels beta 2 and only wiped cache and dalvik and now nothing is working. no cwm to restore, can't even get to the at&t boot animation. this is a mystery.

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately I can't help much at all since I haven't done either yet (CWM or Kernels/rom installations) so rather than making things worse for you, I'll leave it to the Pros here to help you. Im sure one of them will respond back soon enough.

Try this:
Disconnect the phone and pull out the battery.
Put battery back in and plug phone to a wall charger. Let it boot to the battery charging screen. Once there press and hold POWER + VOLDOWN
Depends on type of the problem, it helped me 9 out 10 times...

tried it at least 20 times now. just realized that i didn't format /system nor did i update cwm yesterday. probably the root of all these problems. I'm just gonna start fresh with the kdz. I'm on a mac though so its going to be a long night starting with boot camp.

I'm having the same problems...well kind of...
I followed all the instructions for CWM and everything went great. No real issues but had to reinstall the .img twice and then was perfect thereafter. Saw the beta 2 ROM and figured what the hey...downloaded and installed to SD Card. Used CWM/Nandroid to do a backup then installed the zip for the ROM from the sd card.
It took a matter of 10 seconds and said it was successful/done and restarted phone-got a boot loop on LG screen for about 15 minutes and finally did a battery pull-tried several times to get it into CWM with no luck and finally was able to get in-but had to plug it into the wall and wait for charging screen to show. Was able to restore and all was well until turning the phone off.
Turning off the phone now causes the phone to loop on the ATT screen-I can get into download mode and can get into CWM and restore and all is well until turning phone off.
I figured it just needs a fresh install so I've been trying to flash the kdz but the firmware updater keeps faulting and never makes it through the process...so I'm stuck...have all the files I need (I believe) and have everything in place...just can't get it back to normal.
Any ideas from here?
Thanks in advance!

Yeah, sometimes it could be quicker just start over and restore backups...
While you there, would you mind do this: Needed SystemUI.apk from SU640
[EDIT]
@fishscale28:
did you do kdz unbrick before? If not, then perhaps you are not doing it right...btw, kdz file for LU6200 didn't work for me.

Nope-never done a kdz unbrick before-I have the kdz v10i_00 for the 640. I have all the drivers installed, the parser deal installed, windows enabler program running and use the kdz updater to update the firmware. Is there something Im missing here? Seems like several people have gotten the updater to crash when trying to update the firmware...any ideas why?
---------- Post added at 05:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 AM ----------
I went through a few of the threads and saw there was a .dll file to be deleted in the updater folders so I did that and now I can do absolutely nothing with the program. Only start and exit...am unable to select anything, view anything, get anything to function...

I installed from the kdz yesterday and didn't have to delete any files. I'm on Win 7 x64. The first time it ran it told me to restart my phone cause it didn't see it, but the second time it ran until my phone reboot and I killed the program. Be sure you have the KDZ_FW_UPD_EN with UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe in it. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your help. I did all that...again...I even deleted, reinstalled all the updater stuff, tried running as admin, tried running in compatibility mode, ran it after deleting the recommended .dll file and the option to do anything was gone, put it back in and was able to run everything fine and a little after extracting the kdz it would crash. I unplugged the phone and re-ran the proggy and it went through the check, noticed the phone wasn't hooked up and finished the check. Plug phone in, start process over and proggy crashes.
I don't get it-I would say its the wrong kdz but its not. I installed all the drivers and it still doesn't work. I've tried every combo of everything and the proggies keep crashing.
Now I was finally able to get into CWM to flash another ROM and was able to get one going-was able to boot into the os but same as before-once the phone is turned off it starts the boot loop. Now its even harder to get back to CWM but a restore works from there. Any ideas on why the boot image keeps reverting back to whatever was screwed up? Has to be something that happens once the system starts up again as it's after a restore and when the phone is turned off. Stumped and would love to be able to use my phone...It seems like flashing the kdz would be the sure fire way to get it done-are there options aside from the updaters that keep crashing?
Thanks in advance!

Maybe http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/ can help?

alright so i got to the 4% thing and my phone rebooted but it kept looping to the screen LG Optimus LTE bootscreen with the pink candy cane. thats it. i did vol dwn + pwr and got the android arrow and box with loading bar no text, then it rebooted back to the optimus lte screen. never got to the setup screen. tried the kdz again and my phone died. now when i plug it in i only get download mode... does it charge in download mode and why did it not get to the setup screen?!

Even after running the kdz, my phone still does that after installing CWM. I don't know if it's something with my ROM or something with CWM, but if you can't get into CWM you probably don't need to run the kdz. I couldn't get into CWM anymore when I ran it.

So you're saying you go into the boot loop after turning off your phone even after unbricking?

I don't get it-now I can't get into recovery and it keeps up with the boot loop. I've tried running on the virtual PC/XP deal and it doesn't crash but now it doesn't even see the phone...reinstalled all the drivers, etc. and still no luck. Is there anyway to get the kdz installed without this updater?

Yes. I don't think that was happening until I put CWM on. But I can live with it until the issue is solved. I don't think I'm the only one having it.

Secure Booting Error! Cause: boot certification verify

Hello all,
LG Optimus G Pro user here (LG-F240S). I recently rooted my phone, then used Gomdol's tool, which roots the phone and installs CWM recovery at the same time. I had initially thought that the application also unlocks the bootloader, but since then found out it doesn't.
Anyways, the first time rebooted into recovery, I flashed a ROM (specifically for F240S), which wasn't successful for some reason. Now, when I boot up the phone, it keeps saying "Secure Booting Error! Cause: boot certification verify"
I have tried everything, from the Volume down + Power + Home to erase everything and do the factory reset, but it doesn't work. I have also downloaded the stock firmware, and tried the KDZ_FW_UPD application to flash the stock firmware, which also did not work (Extract File Error). My last resort was using LGMobile Support Tool, but it keeps telling me to recharge my battery (my batter is currently recharged to 100%, and the USB is plugged in, so something is very wrong here).
I would really appreciate any help, It's been 3 days now without being able to use my phone and it sucks
Thanks!

Might wanna try this

on your boot certification problem, I had that same problem before and made me panic for two days. I tried LG mobile support tool and worked for the first time. few weeks ago, I also encountered the same error on LG Mobile support tool (battery error,right?) I used I also used the KDZ_FW_UPD application and yes, extract error. but you know what the magical thing is? I found the G2 KDZ flasher from the G2 thread..
even if this was from G2 thread, it worked for my device.
here is the link and of course thanks to @hyelton for bringing this wonderful fix. now, I don't have to worry about bricking my phone again(except for hard bricking, of course).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
one more thing: make sure you download the KDZ. there is a thread here that links to that. but I think you have the right kdz now so just follow the steps. make sure you are in download mode press volume up and down (only the volume up and down. not the home or power) and then plug the cord.

guys, this happens when installing custom rom with lg stock rom in it and your device is not fully unlock. to lessen the hassle of worrying trying to reflash to the stock rom and downloading those huge files..just download any custom pure android rom , slimkat, cm11, etc then flash to your recovery..it would boot again without that error on boot certification. only that your on pure android rom but that's ok

HELP PLEASE! My Lg G Pro e988 stays forever on this "Secure booting error! Cause: boot certification verify! Can't get in download mode. I have tryed all sort of combination keys but everytime this error pops up. My phone was on stock rom, then an official update started to download and ask me to reboot. After reboot this error!
HELP!

You should be able to get in download mode by following these steps. First take out the battery for atleast 5seconds, put it back in, then press and hold both vol + and vol - and within 2seconds plug in the usb cable, your computer should make the sound of a new device connected, when you hear that let go of the volume keys. The screen should say download mode now.

I have sent it to warranty and they told me that the phone was rooted, they sent me a picture with the back of the phone showing the imei and serial number and a front picture showing me that the phone has the app SuperSu.
They told me that the phone need a new motherboard that cost ~340 $.
Why do they need a new motherboard ? because the phone was not hard bricked.
I will get my device back.
Is possible to get it back with some modifications? I mean if they managed to boot it and see the SuperSu app.
I know to work with LG Flash Tool, so all I need is to put it to download mode.
All the above key combination didn't work. Power and vol- or power and vol+ ......
I will contact you again when i'll have my device.
Thanks!

Any updates?

Long story with guys at warranty. I asked them to prove that the phone in those pictures is mine. From the picture showing my imei, yes is mine. But from the picture showing supersu app....they don't convince me. Every phone could have installed supersu app without being rooted. So i asked them to provide me another picture that will show the google account that was registered on phone and another with all my apps installed. They didn't send me such photos.
If they managed to revive my device and showing me there is a supersu app, that means they don't need to change the motherboard.
Am i right?
So i get my phone back working and they cut my warranty.
I tried vol+ and vol- and usb cable and download mode appeared.
Thankd!

I smell something weird about LG. They probably put SuperSU on there or they got the wrong phone. Anyway i'm sure the community will help Don't lose faith/hope yet

About the warranty, its very complicated.
The store from which the phone was buyed, took it and send it to another warranty dealer authorized by LG, i guess, which was not named LG.
At last, I sold the phone, i own an lg g2 now and recently flash official lollipop.

Gladly and after some fails and always getting the secure boot certification error, i managed to access the download mode and with LG Flash Tool installed the stock .kdz on my LG L90 D405n.. thx for all the hints..

Before of this secure boot my e988 was working but no download mode. I've encountered this on a LG G2, so after some search i've found out that I must downgrade the bootloader. So, I rooted my device and installed autorec.apk from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715496 that fixes the " no download mode " .
I don't know how to skip the secure boot error. If someone managed please share with us!

Boot : Error Certification Verify
Hi. I am new to this thread although i had used this thread many times with issues i have had. There is this one issue im having that i can't seem to figure out which im usually good at doing by following forums or threads.
A couple weeks ago i had rooted my LG G Pad 7.0 V410 LTE tablet from AT&T. I had TWRP downloaded into it and i had flashed Candy5 it worked perfectly i just didn't like how it looked so i tryed to flash it back to original stock OS. But now when i boot my tablet up it goes to the LG screen and at the top left it says Boot : Error Certification Error. This has me dumbfounded on what i should do. when i connect the tablet to the computer nothing pops up no tablet connects to the computer. I tryed downloading the drivers and everything but nothing seemed to work. I need help with this issue please!!
I didn't know where else to post this issue due to being new!!!

LG G4 H815 Euro - Troubles flashing stock ROM

Hello to all of you,
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
I bought second hand a LG G4 H815 with CyanogenMod 14 already installed on it.
Everything was fine until I installed my Ebanking apps, that would not function with an unlocked bootloader. I needed to return to a clean factory safe state...
It was the second time I flashed a rom in my whole life, the first one was a Galaxy S plus years ago.
I followed all the instructions for the KDZ flash in this tutorial but I stumbled upon a "Upgrade stopped due to error" in LG flash tool.
I retried 3 or 4 times but with no luck. I verified that the ROM was correct for my model and it was. European and all...
I tried LGUP but my phone is unknown ( at least it's detected)...
I read some posts and told myself "I probably have messed up something, let's try it again with a fresh thing"... I clicked on the factory reset button and carried on.
There the phone booted on TWRP (That i didn't know existed before this). As I explored the menus with a TWRP google search on the computer, I began to realize that the factory reset was maybe a bad thing to do with a custom rom. I tried to reboot but I always end up booting on TWRP.
I re-tried to flash in download mode, but with always the "Upgrade stopped due to error".
I also tried to flash directly from TWRP a stock rom. Didn't work.
I was beginning to lose it and tried to flash the CM14 version I had before, juste to have a working phone again, but even this didn't work... I'm stuck with a TWRP phone
I need some help there...

uninstall any drive for g4 from pc and reinstall again and lgup. now reboot phone to download mode when lgup is open first check upgrade opsion and when open kdz check refurbish opsion and start. good luck

Thank you for your answer
Still no luck
Uninstalled drivers
Rebooted PC
Reinstalled the drivers
Still unknown device

The best way to flash stock image is to use official LG Bridge app. Download it, turn off your phone, connect it to PC while holding volume up button - phone will go into download mode. Then there is option for software restore in LG Bridge but i won't tell u where exactly. If it won't work i would try on another PC. If it won't work maybe you would be able to flash stock image trough send_command but i won't help you with it.

Moto M XT1662 Hard Bricked! Blank Screen, Not charging. NEED HELP.

Long story short, my phone came from China and did not have Google Apps installed. I tried to root it with some youtube method and the boot.img file got changed, not knowing what to do next I gave it to repair shop.
They somehow managed to restore the stock rom and gave me the stock rom.zip file as well but the IMEI was removed, so after trying a few methods I realized my phone doesn't get detected in META Mode but somehow gets detected if it's turned off and connected directly. I thought should install the stock firmware again by myself.
I first tried it with Download mode only, it loaded a few files but gave some error like IMGHDR_TYPE_MISMATCHED. After that it got stuck on boot screen.
So instead of the download option in SP tool I chose Format All + Download.
The thing is my phone does not get detected in META Mode so I thought it wouldn't change anything but now the phone doesn't turn on. The screen is blank, nothing happens with phone is connected to charger.
If I connect the phone to PC, it detects a Preloader Port Android (COM 7) on device manager for a few seconds then goes off, then keeps going on and off like it's trying to boot but doesn't boot.
Please help. This phone can't be sent back to china because the warranty is possibly void as this phone has been used about 6 months and also been tried for rooting.
It still gets connected via SP Tool but gives the same error after loading a few files. Image Attached.
https://preview.ibb.co/kyJvZn/xt1662bricked.png
Any help in this regard would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

I had the same initial issue, so I did the "Format All + Download" on the SP Tool with a ROM I downloaded and it flashed successfully and everything works fine now, it even auto updated to the Android 7.0 and the latest security patches (05/08/18).
I cannot remember from where I got the ROM I used but I can upload it for you, if you want/need it.
The only issue is that I lost my IMEI. When I find a way to fix it I will let you know.

I followed that and I successfully restored my lost IMEI, everything works fine now.
Hope it helps.

I have hit a wall

Hello everyone, Merry Christmas!
Although I say that, I bring not so merry news. My OnePlus 7T is bricked and after trying everything I don't know where to go from here. Currently I am stuck at the:
The current image (boot/recovery) has been destroyed​phase of things and all I can do is boot into fastboot, that is it.
How did this all start? All I did was just update the phone to Android 12 with the official OTA update from OnePlus, big mistake. Worst update ever; my adaptive brightness went haywire, the brightness gets stuck at max, I couldn't receive calls, data was completely unresponsive, and the list goes on. So before the obvious downgrade method, I try a few things first:
Cycle airplane mode on/off
Reset network settings
Reset ANR
These worked for a minute on my data then right back to the same issue.
Wipe cache partition... Oh wait I had to find out the hard way Android 12 removed this option....
Wipe the phone
That fixed nothing.
Ok time to downgrade, but this is where things got tricky and I realized that maybe all my issues stemmed from me getting the wrong update from OnePlus? Although I found this out too late.
See my phone model is HD1907 which I already knew at the back of my head, but when it mattered to remember the most, I didn't catch what happened. After my update to A12, my model number changed to HD1901 which is the Indian version, and when I saw it didn't think anything of it at the time but then after all my problems it came back to me, my phone has always HD1907 so maybe this is a compatibility issue.
Anyway since I was going to downgrade anyway I thought to myself, 'since I already wiped everything, maybe I can use this opportunity to try out a ROM for A12 and see if it is just this ****ty OOS causing all these issues,' and so I did. First thing I did was unlock the bootloader, and try get TWRP on my phone. That all went fine, I booted into TWRP, flashed my zip for TWRP, then proceeded to try to boot into the OS... and the rest is history because that is as far as I got. Apparently my boot.img is destroyed and I can't boot back into TWRP anymore either, all I can do is get to fastboot.
So then I tried MSM, it won't detect my phone.... So then I tried flashing my Stock ROM through fastboot, apparently I'm missing a partition and it won't write to a critical partition either....
So where do I go from here...?

Hello I was in the exact same boat as you today same phone, same update issues, same no recovery mode, no os to boot into only greeted with fastboot mode. I have resolved it and I'm back on oos 11 good as new. I did use the msm tool it is tricky for sure at first. A critical step is installing the qualcomm drivers and then rebooting your pc.

I too had all the symptoms after an update to OOS12, including progressively losing any semblance of booting. not even recovery and the drivers found elsewhere didn't work, and had a different name when installed and would never get detected in the MsmDownloadTool. After installing this one and rebooting, it finally detects it and installs the image of EDL mode.
