stuck at fastboot

Hey i am stuck in fastboot (going for a week now) and i kinda think it's dead i did that full wipe script and now it won't boot into anything i can do bootloader (my bro told me it can be flashed by there but i don't even know also i can't get into hboot due to the camera button being stubborn) so might as well ask here since he's at my cousins house for now and also how can i flash zip files? like the kind that aren't .img? just for details every time i try to flash via fastboot it either says unknown partition or cannot load blah.img maybe it's something i did wrong? i got adb/fastboot setup with the sdk and stuff but that's as far as i can get .
also i can't use adb (should be obvious by now).

can you access recovery mode? holding home+power?

I can try but don't guarantee success in doing so because of something i did in fastboot by mistake in trying to fix it ( ) unless there's a way of re flashing ra's rom or something there's no way i can get recovery to work again.
edit why don't they have those windows to phone flasher just like the hd2's have them that way i would have had it fixed by now .

Probably you should read a bit in this post.
If you are in fastboot, you can do almost everything with your phone.
1.
Code:
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
and your phone is clean.
2.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <recovery.img>
and you have a working recovery.
3. you can decide how to continue ...

whenever i try to flash it(at last step at the instructions at top), it keeps saying error: cannot load 'Recovery.img' file ,weird , i am using ra's recovery has recovery.img , don't know why it's not letting me flash it
edit even has the original name it won't load

you need to have it in the same directory from where you are calling the fastboot command, i.e.
you are on c:\ -> recovery.img must be located on c:\
otherwise you need to give the full path to your recovery.img, i.e.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img

for showing me the way also i'v been like this since last week reason i didn't ask in the first place is because i thought it was already answered already and i searched but couldn't find the right answer
but thanks to a guru like you i fixed it .
Edit - testing phone , seems to be doing something at the g1 screen.
Edit 2 - i think it might be ... bricked , hold on.
Edit 3 - got it into recovery lets see from here.
**** it tomorrow i get a new phone anyways time to put this demon to sleep
ok i am not going anywhere can't get lift off .

i have amonra recovery in a zip file if you can flash it via fastboot?

I can try that but if i can get into fast boot (is it the little balltracker thingy and the power button? if so i think my fastboot is broken because it just shows a blue light with no signal of the screen on )
What i have try'ed is that wipe script ohsaka-super-wipe <- and i am trying to get SenseLX v3.1 to run but all my attempts just lead me back to the recovery screen for some weird reason
also don't know if this info will help at all but i got a 16gb sdcard and getting another one soon just hope it's better class
Hold on let me see something
also i flashed my hboot alot of times so maybe it's something with that.

well it's hboot mode but different... hboot is used to flash .img files.. fastboot is the same but diff button to power on and as long as you have fastboot drivers installed you can flash zip files via fastboot, power on device by holding back+power
here's a guide to install adb/fastboot driver on windows vista/7 if thats what you have...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124916
EDIT: o wait so you do have recovery? you said after trying to install rom it brings you back to recovery?
what radio/spl do you have? you need 2708/2825 & 0013d

yep i have it, also following guide gonna report back in a few minutes
Edit - i got both hboot0013d-signed.zip and radio-2_22_27_08-signed.zip in my sdcard meaning i might have flashed them already so i don't see why it should be taking me to recovery
edit 2 bad hboot / E:missing bitmap Progress_empty/fill code -1 2x didn't wanna risk the real brick so i didn't install it.
Edit 3 E: - blah blah blah failure at line 3
well its' back to the drawing board for me..
and well fastboot don't work (camera button + power button don't do anything)
Now would'ya look at that it started working to an htc screen doing something alright
it hates me i swear.

lol when you get to the hboot or fastboot screen what does your device say? can you find out what radio and spl you have?

[GUIDE}How To Flash Stock ROM With RSD Lite

Do it at your own risk and read it carefully!
I combine the guide for ICS and JB flashing.
- Download the latest driver for Windows HERE and for Mac HERE.
- Download RSD Lite HERE.
- Download stock ICS HERE
- Download stock JB HERE
- You need to open the zip of the rom and find xxx.xml. Open it and notice line like . You should remove both lines to avoid error at flashing. Or you can download my modified xml for ICS HERE. For JB HERE. Replace your original xml.
- Install drivers and RSD Lite to your PC.
- Make sure your battery at least 80% before we proceed.
- Turn off your phone and press both volume keys and power on. You'll enter bootmenu options. Choose AP Fastboot by scrolling with volume down and volume up to select.
- Connect your phone to PC and your PC will detect and install the drivers automatically.
- Open RSD Lite and click ... beside filename. Browse to your ROM and double click it. A menu will popup and choose "uncompress and start flashing".
- It will start flashing once it finishes uncompressing.
- Sit down and relax.
If you want to replace stock recovery with CWM,you can do it by replacing THIS over the original one inside the zip. Thanks to skeevy420.
Note : You can't downgrade if you are on JB to ICS via RSD Lite. With an unlocked bootloader,you can do that with fastboot.
Screenshot added to second post. Thanks a lot to devilsking.

Ha ha. Finally U did it . and now I found an useful guide of how to flashing stock firmware :">. But it's better to add screenshots then make ur guide more clear so I will help u to finish it. Anw, Thank you bro
1. After download required files, open stock rom (*.zip) and you need to find the xml file with name of firmware:
{
"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"
}
2. Open that xml file with notepad (I recommend Notepad ++) and delete 2 get var lines then save it:
3. Open the fastboot mode (Turn off your phone and press both volume keys and power on then select by volume +, scroll by vomlume - or )
4. Open RSDlite, select firmware with edited xml and let it decompress then flash.

Nice,bro.. I'll edit my post and insert your pictures when I'm on PC. It will be better with pictures. Thanks,bro..

To expedite things a bit, you could also add to the OP to change the md5sum of the fastboot's recovery.img and replace stock recovery with Epinter's CWM. Don't have Windows to test so I'm not sure if it'll work, but it should. That way they don't have to "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" afterwards.

Thanks,bro.. so after replacing stock recovery.img,we'll end with epinter's cwm instead of stock? This is useful for those who don't want to do fastboot cmd things. I'll add it soon. I'm on my Photon Q right now.

Make sure your harddisk has at least 3gb free space. Try reflashing it.

This is nice, thank you.

Works Great For Me
now i have a Motorola Atrix HD with Bootloader unlocked and Recovery but when i try to put a new Rom in the Phone Dont Put the new Rom overwrite the Rom in the AT&T Rom (try with Batakang Rom) if i try with Cyanogen or another dont give Me that Problem ?

Um what?
Sent from my JokerMATRIX HD MAXX

Did you mount /system before flashing Batakang? For roms intended for flashing in SafeStrap, like Batakang, to flash in CWM you must mount /system first.
You know what they say... Once you go Android, you don't go back. Flashaholic for sure.

Hi
Follow the instructions mentioned on this website and your good go ... I bricked mine last night trying to figure out how to switch network bands and used this one to get my device back and going
Hope it helps

How to flash CWM Unoffical???

Hi,
I downloaded CWM unofficial 6.0.32 from this forum, but I'm new and I have no idea what to do with it. I did successfully root my phone that's all I've done to it.
Thanks!

You use fastboot commands. There's a tutorial skeevy just made in general.
Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX

I'm sorry, but I'm getting stuck
1: I installed the sdk replaced the files with the updated ones provided.
2:checked adb devices from command promt and It sees my device.
3: ran adb and it successfully starts
4: I then rebooted phone into fastboot Power+Volume down and adb reports device not found.
5: pull hair out.
I'd appreciate a sort of idiots guide because I'm getting no where fast and I've read and read, but they don't explain much that's the problem.

Do you have the lastest motorola usb driver installed?

1. :good:

3 :good:
4 You're in fastboot mode....adb won't recognize your phone....that's normal...
5
use the command "fastboot flash recovery cwm.img" from inside the folder with cwm.img. Or move the fastboot executable and the recovery image to C:\ and do it from there...Win can crap out when/if there are too many characters in the path...
Also, right click the fastboot executable and set it to run as admin. Might have to disable UAC as well....don't ask me how, I don't know...google it.
//I'm cereal, ya had to rename the SBF because in the home directory the path + sbf name would be too many characters for Win to work with and the flash would fail....

No idea, but here's what I did to install cwm. download safestrap apk, boot to safestrap recovery, hit fix permission, go back to cmd prompt, fastboot flash it,
edit: try enabling "usb developer/debugging mode" before booting it into fastboot?

You might have a picky motherboard. Some front-side ubs ports won't work for some odd reason for some users. Use a usb port on the back of your pc.
Out of curiousity, did you try flashing a fastboot with rsd before you started doing this? And if yes, did it finish completely?
Also attached is a zip to flash CWM from SSR (maybe...SSR might block the command) and a fastboot modified to only flash CWM. Both are untested but worth a shot.
EDIT: Any one of you windows users care to chime in? Ya'll know I don't run it. I'm kinda runnin outta ideas here....gettin down to the just use linux reply...

Hello.
If you just want to get into recovery mode, open terminal emulator.
Type
'su'
Allow it and type
'Reboot recovery'
Without '.
Works under cwm.
If this doesn't work.
Use smart flash tool.
(Quoted) ⬇
After flashing your phone should Boot into recovery.
Dont forget to do always a factory reset. If not -> bootloop
radkor said:
SmartFlash Tool completly erases device memory during flashing.
Phone will make Factory Reset at first boot after flashing!
You can upgrade and downgrade. You can downgrade from V20N too!
This also will remove phone lock if you forget unlock code or pattern. (phone lock, NOT simlock or network lock...)
This method doesn't need internet connection.
If you want to flash an LG P970H download correct ROM from link below.​

ok it seems there is also an other way to enter recovery:

it should boot straight into recovery.

Cant you push recovery through adb/fastboot?

Do you still have cwm and the custom ROM on your phone? If yes, simply download quickboot or rommanager from playstore and hit reboot recovery.

Hi guys,
Tried the two methods from DuffBoon and wash beer - no luck.
I think there is something wrong with gapps as it gives an error when I try to download smth from Google Play- so no option to load any new app.
I go into terminal emulator, input 'su' and have superuser rights, than punch 'reboot recovery', it reboots but no recovery at all.
My diagnosis is CWM and gapps is broken somewhat; SFT or another method is not working for that reason.

But your system is still working? There is an adb flashable cwm recovery from redy06 somewhere here. Google:
Xda cwm touch redy06
And youll probably find it. You can flash it with the device on. There also is a reboot recovery script in the pack, so you can check if it works or not.

Any method to restore stock rom via 9008 mode? please help.

I think download mode is also broken.
Please let me know if there's any way to recover the download mode.

and I got a message to re-lock the bootloader.

After that, I checked several guides and tried.
but now, never can't boot and can't use LGUP.

Any method to restore stock rom via 9008 mode? please help.
PS :
I think download mode is also broken.
Please let me know if there's any way to recover the download mode.

I'd suggest looking at this thread. Also, the screen telling you the bootloader is unlocked is normal, when you have a device that has it unlocked, you *always* see it when you boot up.
cheers

Very thank you!
but Unfortunately, it didn't work for me.
I forgot what i did, but maybe I modified xbl_a, xbl_b, etc.
and try below method it didn't work, too.
I've touched too many things....
I'd like to know if there's a way to force the use of LG Flash Tool or something like that.

Follow this post. (Don't speak Spanish so have no idea what the above video is doing, can't help there).
Essentially, when you flash an image to a partition it doesn't belong in, you run the risk of overwriting into nearby partitions (because image is bigger than partition size). If you do that, then the only solution is what's in the post above. It basically restores the entire device using qfil. Because when you start overwriting partitions (and possibly the partition table), there's no way of knowing what is messed up and what isn't.

You are my hero!! So many thank you!!
I've only tried 3 and 4.
download mode has come alive.
btw, why my v40 has fail to install twrp?
my system is LMV409N(SKT)
Maybe I should give up custom rom for a while.
many thanks!!!

good that it worked. Follow this link and in the folder find boot_20n_magisk.img and use it (assuming you're on kor 20n), use qfil to flash it to boot_a and b.
It has both magisk and twrp in it. Remember, after flashing it in qfil (save original first of course), you need to hold vol - and pwr for a few seconds (until u hear windows chime meaning disconnect), to exit qfil.
But! and this is important, we don't want the device to boot, we want to go directly to recovery. So keep both buttons pressed but when LG logo appears, release pwr and then re-apply it, which then goes to recovery.
in recovery, u have to format data, then reboot recovery and flash dm_verity.
cheers

Thank you very much for your follow-up.
I succeeded in entering the twrp.
But I got screen asking password, there's default password or something?

There's no password, you just cancel out of that but be sure to do the 'swipe' to make it modifiable. The key after that is to format data, then reboot recovery and flash dm_verity, then encryption won't exist and no longer asked for pw.
cheers

I think everything's finally settled.
I'll try my best to enjoy the v40 now.
Thank you so much for your help.
