I can't get my computer to recognize the device so that I can use adb sideload in twrp. There is no operating system on the phone so I can't install usb drivers. When I try, it says failed to install drivers. Can anyone help point me in the right direction. In the command prompt, when I type 'adb devices' nothing comes up. Any help much appreciated!
the phone is and Lg Optimus g pro e980.

Did you already solved it?
Right now my phone is bricked due to a failed attempt to flash an F240S KitKat ROM to my E980, but that's another story, at least I have access through adb.
This is what worked out for me with Windows 7:
1. Download and install LG's latest drivers on your PC: (http://tool.xcdn.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=UW00120120425).
2. Unplug the USB cable from phone.
3. Press the power button until the phone turns off.
4. Immediately after power off, press the power and volume up buttons at the same time, the phone will turn on showing the LG logo, don't release the buttons. Keep both buttons pressed until the LG logo disappears.
5. Now that the screen is completely black, release the power button only, keeping the volume up button pressed.
6. Always with the volume up pressed, the LG logo will appear and disappear a couple of times, don't release the button.
7. When this cycle ends, the phone shows a box (in Korean in my case) that I guess is related to the service software (see picture).
8. You can release the volume up button and plug the phone to the PC with the USB cable, Windows 7 should install the proper drivers and you will have adb access.
That's it ...
doesnt work for me,boots meinto TWRP.
Try both volume up, volume down and power at the same time, this is the default combo. Using volume up and power button at the same time work sometime when the recovery doesn't work. Hold the buttons and plug in the cable should work. If that doesn't work for some reason, try the sabering but without the battery. Put the battery back in once the menu comes up.
My HTC One M8 (Verizon) is seemingly bricked. My phone is rooted, S-Off, with the stock ROM. I have been trying to update to the latest OTA update by returning to stock. I had previously modified some entries in the Build.prop and Platform.xml. I knew those had to be default in order for the OTA to work. I had copied the original files and pasted them to my SD Card so that I could simply cut the modified versions, paste them to my SD Card, and cut the originals from my SD Card and put them in their corresponding system folders.
Upon a reboot something apparently went horribly wrong because all my phone does now is boot with the white screen and green HTC Logo, then the screen goes black. I have tried the typical Power Button + Volume Down but it won't enter the boot loader. The good news is that the USB port seems to still work for my windows computer recognizes a device connecting to it but it doesn't show up as an interactive device in windows explorer..if that makes sense.
Please Help!

When you connect it to the PC can you pick up the device with adb? If so, have you tried to run the command from adb to boot it into bootloader? adb devices ... if found, adb reboot bootloader
:fingers-crossed:

I'm not too familiar with ADB commands but I typed in "adb reboot recovery" and it said: "error: device not found" so even if my command was wrong it's still not detecting it. I also tried: "fastboot reboot bootloader" and it just says "waiting for device"
Also I feel like it's worth mentioning the phone is automatically rebooting every two minutes or so (haven't timed it exactly but it's a while). Still showing the green HTC Logo then the screen goes dim, then the screen turns off.

Try holding volume UP + Power button, this simulates a "battery pull", just hold it in for a while it can take a while to "pull", when it's off try again booting into bootloader, volume DOWN + Power button.

I held Volume Up + Power Button and it showed the white screen with the green HTC logo. I then released all buttons. Once the screen turned off I then held Volume Down + Power Button for two minutes straight and nothing happened.
Even though we haven't found a solution yet, I am appreciative of the help.
sounds like you never installed the htc drivers for your phone, hence your pc doesn't see the phone when you are doing ADB commands.
install the drivers for it, then try the ADB commands via your pc
and dont mess with the build prop or other system files unless you have a working back up and are 101% certain about what you are doing..
Just remember to change directory in command prompt to the folder where adb.exe is located.
I don't know why the device doesn't reboot into bootloader though when you hold volume down + power button, shouldn't have to hold it for 2minutes. Holding volume up + power button to simulate a "pull" should only take up to 20 seconds or so at most and pressing volume down + power will then immediately take you into bootloader mode, or at least it's supposed to.
Did you release the volume up / power combo when the screen went dead or before? Try holding it until the phone shuts off and then right away press volume down + power.
Sorry if I'm not answering right away though, busy eating, and will be here and away for the next hour or so while I get ready for work =o( once I leave for work I'll only be able to help some more after like 2 hours or so. Hopefully we can do something before then though =o)

You're right, I didn't install the drivers. I did so and ADB was able to recognize it and I was able to access the bootloader. Thank you everyone for your help. I won't be making the mistake again.

So you'll be able to fix it from here on then? I was just about to link this thread to you as well should you have gotten adb to work again, it's for the RUU for Verizon seeing as you said you're on Verizon.
But going by your response up there you might already know how to fix this issue further :good:

Share another method of getting into recovery mode on non-responsive blank screen
Hi,
I just want to share how I accessed recovery mode with the same build.prop issue but with S-ON (might work with S-Off too).
I found the solution from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...ter-download-mode-t2853100/page2#post62490577
To get into recovery mode on a non-responsive blank screen, hold the power button and volume up button at the same time and then approximately after 10 seconds, switch from pressing the volume up to volume down button before the HTC logo white screen shows while still holding down the power button. After, a white boot screen will give an option to go into recovery mode.
So I just got an LG G pad 10.1 VK700 from Verizon the other day. I rooted the device on the first day but never really added any additional apps or software.
Another member in the household was using the tablet and it asked if they wanted to accept the VZW Update for KitKat 5.0. They downloaded the update, and now the tablet is stuck in a bootloop at the Fastboot screen.
There are only 3 options I can select from this screen in the top left using the volume keys: RESTART, RESTART BOOTLOADER & POWER OFF. Any time I select either of the restart options, the screen just goes blank and hangs. I have to manually power off, and upon turning back on I am right back to this limited Fastboot menu.
Bottom left reads:
FASTBOOT MODE
PRODUCT_NAME - E9LTE_VZW
VARIANT - e9lte_vzw Toshiba 16GB
HW VERSION - rev_10
BOOTLOADER VERSION - N/A
BASEBAND VERSION - N/A
CARRIER INFO - N/A
SERIAL NUMBER - VZ7005xxxxxxx
SECURE BOOT - disabled
LOCK STATE - locked
I booted into Recovery mode, but any of the options I select from the System recovery menu send me right back to the Fastboot screen.
Is there anything to be done at this point?
UPDATE: Problem solved. Research into the other variants of the LG G Pad lead me to the the LG Mobile Support Tool, which you can find by googling B2CAppSetup.exe.
Now, if you are stuck in a Fastboot loop as I was, I ended up having to restart the device while holding down the Power + Volume UP & DOWN. This brought up a screen displaying a bar code and the device MSN and IMEI number. Using this number return to the LG Mobile Support tool and select Options>Upgrade Recovery. Even if your device is already plugged in via USB, the software will not recognize the device -- you may want to double check to make sure your device drivers were installed prior to this step. Input your IMEI number into the box and restart the device in to download mode. It took a few attempts due to the quick action of Fastboot, but I was finally able to access the menu while USB was plugged in to the device and restarting while holding the Volume + key. Now you can continue with the installation and you will be back into your tablet in no time.
I have access to the device via usb / fastboot, adb is not registering. If anyone has any suggestions on what I can try, please let me know. I do not have a backup or a version of the OEM ROM. Every effort so far just sends me right back to the Fastboot screen with 3 options. Anything I can run from command prompt using fastboot alone that would help in this situation? Any way to do a factory restore without having an actual OEM image?
Well im stuck at the verizon screen too but for a different reason

Hello I have the exact same model I got 28th my g4 and successfully rooted with kingroot and used supersume to change it to supersu. Everything was perfect and running fine and I tried an entropy engine I use on my other rooted phone and it was not help so I disabled it and rebooted like I have with my other one before and it stuck at that horrible red screen lol. I haven't done anything else major to alter anything to do with the OS like installing an OTA and I can only get to the same screens as you. My problem is I don't have a PC and haven't in a very long time and if I get to one I wouldn't know where to start out, last computer I owned has a floppy disk lol but I don't see how I would need to re flash the entire OS because of an entropy engine hickup. If you or anyone know of a way to slap this thing back to reality I would highly appreciate it. I got very familiar with the android os and how it works but never had a PC to go beyond a basic root so technically I'm still a noob in a way. I only care to expand dual window to other apps if I get it fixed cuz I'm not gonna risk screwing with it any more now than I have to, my luck is too bad lol thanks in advance

If you are stuck in this particular Fastboot loop without a computer I am afraid your options are going to be very limited. The only thing I can imagine that you would be able to try is restarting the tablet while holding down the Power + Volume Down keys to access the stock System recovery menu. You can try to use Factory data reset and Wipe cache to see if that can resolve the issue, but for me every attempt to perform actions from this menu brought me right back to the Fastboot screen. The only other way I could communicate to the device in this scenario was using command line, and even then I could only access fastboot and not abd.
I would highly advise getting at least a cheap older laptop with Windows if you plan on rooting any device, otherwise the dangers will far outweigh the benefits. I'm just hoping some development comes along for the VK700 G Pad 10.1, at least a TWRP or CWM release.

Thanks for your response, I have unfortunately tried that too and wipe cache, reset , all back to fastboot. I figured it would be impossible without a pc. Oh yea my stock recovery says modified in the top left corner, but anyway I can get access to a PC But honestly it's been awhile since I even needed to use one and don't know exactly where to start, like navigating around, and how to install what software on the pc. I can't find anyone that will walk me through it locally or online and every tutorial I find is missing some lil step I need. I know Android in detail but after basic root my experience hits a brick wall. I'm capable of more jus got to get broke in on a pc again. Now I only care to root for stuff like freezing apps, gesture control, and really want to use any app in dual window. Ain't screwing with any system tweaks again it was pointless lol I guess I need all the right files and hit up the pc...can't really do worse no??

Oh yea I almost forgot I got side tracked earlier. I know there is already a twrp, I have 2 versions (2.8...something and the next version strait off twrp site. I was the one guy it wouldn't flash through flashify for but others claimed it did. God knows really, but I'm gonna wait till I have a PC of my own before I touch my g4 but man the ability to open any app in dual window is just too damn sweet...if I could only change that one word on build prop to false without all the other hassle

I tried following your recommendation, but the LGMobile Support Tool said the device wasn't plugged in no matter which combination of buttons I pushed while running the Upgrade Recovery option, and I wasn't able to figure out how to get to download mode either.

If your problem is from an OTA failing due to taking it while modded and you can get to fastboot the following command might fix it:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
That will delete the OTA zip and break the bootloop.
I searched and didn't see anything that relates to my specific problem.
I have a 1952-4 that I rooted per instructions on here (Magisk). I dropped it and broke the screen about 9 months ago and just fixed it today...and I can't remember my pattern. I'm up to 50 tries, so now I have to wait 120 seconds before it lets me try the next one.
Since the root process requires you to reboot recovery for root, doing that just sends it to the normal lock screen. When I hit Vol Down/Power, my options on the bootloader screen are:
-Start
-Restart Bootloader
-Recovery Mode (restarts it, sends to lockscreen)
-Power Off
-Factory Mode (restarts, sends to lockscreen)
-Barcodes
-BP Tools (restarts, back to lockscreen)
-QCOM (restarts, back to lockscreen)
-Bootloader Logs
-Switch Tools Mode (enables/disables "Tool Mode Config" option on the bootloader screen)
My computer beeps the "something USB has been plugged in" chime when I connect it, but it doesn't pull up in File Explorer (unless it's off, but just shows that a USB drive has been connected but won't pull up anything when I click on it), nor can I connect through ADB. It's not a cable/USB port issue either as ADB finds my Note 8 when I plug it in and check via "adb devices."
Can't wipe it via Find my Phone either because it's been 270 days since my account pinged the phone, so it just shows up as "Android" device.
Any suggestions on how to either get my computer/ADB to recognize it (with root) so I can just delete the lock database, or how I can factory reset it? Am I forgetting a reboot option?
Thanks in advance.

Window 10?
Yeah. It should remember this phone, since I used this computer to root it when I first got it a year and a half ago.
I used a different cable and got it to pick up the phone (as an unknown device) in Windows but NOT ADB, and the phone to realize it was connected (see last line on phone screen) but they're not talking.
If I boot it all the way up, either regular or recovery (root), it doesn't show at all on my computer.
Like I said, I'd be fine with wiping it, but can't even get to that option.
Install the moto drivers. If that doesn't work then make sure your using a usb2 port and not a usb3 port as its a known issue with moto phones.
I just ordered a new OEM cable.
Also ordered an OTG cable to see if I can force it to startup into a different mode that'll allow me to do something with it.
I'll update this thread once I'm able to test them out.
I got a new cable. My USB ports are not labeled, and my Moto drivers reinstalled.
After rebooting to the recovery screen, I plugged it in and apparently I have fastboot. I checked the bootloader logs and it says:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure)
Fastboot Reason: Volume down key pressed
USB connected
Windows doesn't pick up anything connected by USB. I can't restart to get root because then adb doesn't pick up the phone either because of the screenlock preventing me from hitting ok to trust my computer.
I'm asking the following because I can't find answers: Can you delete the screen lock file with the only bridge being fastboot, not adb. How can I do a factory reset if rebooting to recovery is our normal way of turnin gon the device with root access? Or would reflashing something work?
command line commands are a perishable skill and it's been a couple years since I did this stuff.
Thanks in advance.
To recap, I either need to be able to get into the directory to delete the pattern lock, or factory reset the phone.
I've tried the pattern lock 79 times, which means I have to wait 300+ seconds between tries. I think an error is causing that though.
Fastboot is my only option at this point as far as using commands goes. Rebooting recovery just reboots it with root permissions, but neither adb or Windows 10 picks it up. Using a brand new factory cord and tried every USB port on my computer, even the USB-C to USB-C. But I can't find anywhere that shows how to get into the directory using fastboot.
In Device Manager, I've been getting an error with Android ADB Interface (The device cannot start; Code 10). I uninstalled, reinstalled various drivers, killed adb.exe, etc., Still happening.
HOWEVER, Motorola ADB Interface is working just fine and goes away when I unplug my phone, returns when I plug it in. Only when it's in recovery/fastboot mode though.
I got into Safe Mode, but computer won't pick it up.
I can't get into Field Test Mode. I did reboot it into something else. I don't know what, but the screen was off and the home button was illuminated. EDL mode? I don't know. Neither my computer or adb read that anything was attached, and i can't figure out how I did it.
I also tried sideloading some pattern lock removers, but apparently you can't do that in fastboot.
Thoughts?
Just to close this out with a solution: I had forgotten that in order to get to the recovery menu, you have to hold the buttons when you reboot recovery. Didn't realize that until I was rooting my Moto e6.
Factory reset complete. No more pattern lock. Though since I've now tried rooting it 4 times with 4 different images and have not succeeded even though I had root before all this, I wish I could have realized the above and possibly gotten in and deleted the gesture.
Lesson learned.
Hold what buttons? I'm afraid I'm in same spot.

Just found this. Timing is everything apparently.
Press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons simultaneously until the Android Recovery screen appears.
Press the Volume Down button to navigate to Recovery.
With Recovery displayed, press the Power button.
When you see the 'Droid' with 'No Command,' hold Power and tap Volume Up just once and immediately release both buttons.

Hi all,
Just bricked my Phone and can't access MSM. Hope you can help me. I will try to be very clear on the steps I took to get to this point.
Device: EU OnePlus 9 Pro
What is was trying to do: Go from rooted C.47 to Pixel Entended ROM
What I did:
Code:
Unrooted using Magisk uninstall option
Updated to c.48 through OTA
Go to lineageOS page on how to ensure all firmware partitions are consistent
very stupidly did not flash dtbo and vendor boot partition
did adb reboot fastboot in stead of abd reboot bootloader
Download the "lineage-19.1-20220701-recovery-lemonadep.img" and tried to temporaryly flash it by
fastboot flash boot <recovery_filename>.img
This resulted in the device getting stuck on the 1+ boot logo.
I can still force turn it off by holding Volume Up + Power.
When I try to access EDL by turned off and Vol UP + Vol Down + Plug and release, My PC makes a connection sound and the screen stay black for a while. After +- 10 seconds, the PC makes a disconnection sound and the phone boots up and gets stuck again on the 1+ bootup icon.
Also my phone won't stay turned off when plugged in the charger or pc
Yes, but what is it presenting as (i.e. EDL, fastboot, ADB, UMS...) when it connects?
If this is Windows, UsbLog.exe is handy to identify things popping up (as long as they have drivers installed).
For a list of devices that have ever tried to connect, try "enumusb.exe /l".
Both available here: https://www.temblast.com/windows.htm

I will try this
I found the issue:
> EDL exits after 10 seconds if it is not captured by the MSM tool.
> The MSM tool only monitored 4 of my 10 USB ports
> So it was not captured because I was plugged in to an unmonitored USB port and rebooted after 10 seconds
> I have successfully used the MSM tool now
Oh! A bit off-topic, but I have never understood why EDL is commonly used over a "serial" port.
The interface that EDL presents is a generic USB bulk interface with two endpoints. You can use it just like that.
But no. They have to use a Qualcomm driver that makes it look like a "serial" port and then you can connect to that.
Me? I use a generic "WinUSB" Zadig driver. I have an EDL client that just connects to that fine.
So does the Python client implementation.
Also, I've never run into that 10 second timeout.

Your phone needs to be in OFF state mode when you're using EDL.
So, very simple:
Enter bootloader mode by holding both volume buttons with the power button together till your phone restarts and enters the bootloader.
From the bootloader screen you can use the volume buttons to navigate through the choices and you can select "Switch off".
When you complete this, you need to hold both volume buttons, and while holding them connect the cable (PC).
If you don't have or you don't have the correct Qualcomm EDL drivers installed, your phone will reboot or start to boot, it won't stay in EDL mode for longer than 10 seconds.
I also got the correct drivers for you, but you need to install the drivers manually while your device is in "EDL" mode, so, you need to be a bit "fast".
I have even a video for you, but need to upload it to YouTube so you can watch it.
I'll share you here the drivers just in case if you're familiar with a manual installation of the drivers.

Thanks for the help. The problem ended up to be a bit different than this for me, but this is a good post for anyone to find in the future!
