[Q] Help unbrick device

After installing Vanir, I don't know what went wrong !!! it was freezing then after trying to charge it, it bricked!!!!
I searched the forume and found major two ways
FIRST

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932123
i followed the info. correctly and stuck in the same problem the man in the thread have, I am stuck in LG logo
so i tied the second
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40174748&postcount=9&nocache=1
and i am stuck in installing " LGmobile Support Tool " because i am in windows 8 and it is not compitable with it. every time trying to install it seems not responding.
so i am stuck now and donot know how to unbrick it !!! no one tell me to set up win 7 because i donot have one

The LG support tool works fine on my Windows 8 64-bit version. Look for the thread on 'Flashing a KDZ with pictures' and follow it to the letter.

did u install gapps ? vanir installation never had a problem. about windows 8 x64 i can confirm the support tool is working because i had them some months ago ( now im on ubuntu x64 ).
and its not a good idea if on some little mistake u try go back to stock. the reason u tried flash vanir was to go away from stock. if u flash back to stock then in a few days will want to flash again a custom. so try again and do it right !
also dont take off battery. no need. maybe this battery trick is history. i never did that. i just long pressed power to reboot and then i just pressed a few times the vol down ( not hold ).

Try disabling any anti-virus first just to make sure that's not interfering. I've never heard of the proces freezing there before.

You did disable the Modem, right? And sometimes, the process seems to take a little long. You have to be patient.

mmmmmm.... if at the end u cant do anything and since, propably, your bootloader is unlocked , u can reinstall the recovery using the adb ( use cmd: adb reboot bootloader and then, when u are there , hit: adb install [recovery zip file path/name] ). eh the rest u know them so u dont need to use any kdz and tire urself with that boring procedure

The first thing to do if it sticks on the LG Logo is to boot into the LG recovery and do a factory reset - just to make sure. You often have to do this after flashing a new KDZ anyway.

HOW ?!!!!!!!!
when pressing power with vol+ it gives me the message " This mode is for data backup at service center. After removing and reattachment of battery press power key to reboot and keep using phone" so what how can wipe date/factory reset ?

Power and vol-, not+

i told you earlier at my post here , that you dont need to flash kdz and go back to stock if ur final goal is a custom rom. u could reinstall recovery using adb bootloader. nevermind -_- u just do things harder for u. bootloader is unlocked u cant unlock the unlocked. bootloader isnt locking again when u just force the stock rom in. there is another procedure u must do to lock it. u can install recovery ( if u havent ) and just install a custom rom
EDIT: you dont need this anymore but ill explain.
adb is used to force files into the device. its a way to communicate with the phone using the pc. u can use the adb to install whatever u like but if u are not sure that the thing u are trying to install is ok for the device, then u will have a problem.
so , since your bootloader is already unlocked, you can go in adb bootloader and force the recovery in.
open cmd:
Lets say i use the teamwin recovery. ill rename it to be easy and save it to desktop. my file is: recovery.zip
open cmd as administrator and go to desktop: cd .....[path to ur desktop]
1. adb start-server
2. adb reboot bootloader
3. fastboot fash recovery recovery.zip
thats it. 3 commands is 10 seconds work. u dont need to go back to stock rom to install a custom rom.

[STOCK][M][TMO] Guide H811 20i & 20o Bootloader Unlock + Root + TWRP

Note : This guide is for H-81120-I & H-81120-O the latest update any firmware version below it will cause hard-brick so be careful before attempting anything, i wont be held responsible.
As a user with less knowledge about Commands and all, i was searching for answers by reading threads here and there and found my answers though some time tricky and sometimes easy.
Also in reading those threads i found many fellow members stumble upon resulting Soft bricks and in some cases a Hard brick or can say making their beloved G4 a paper weight.
So i thought i must put some really easy steps in order to clearly guide people like me who are too noob to understand the sophisticated developers steps.
Another reason for this Thread is also i saw many people asking about how to etc after updating to 20-O update for our H811 MM.
Few things to Prepare before Start
1- Properly Install Drivers for your H811 Variant of G4, cant find them Install LG Bridge.
2- Read the Whole thread before starting anything.
3- Confirm that all requirements are full filled and your variant is capable of everything mention in the OP.
4- Enable Developer Option then inside it enable OEM unlock and Usb debugging.
5- Always use Command prompt as Administrator.
6- Make a folder name G4 and paste all the file required for the unlocking in it for easy access and remembrance.
7- For Safer side after unlocking the bootloader boot into TWRP from fast boot and do not install TWRP.
8- Flash your SuperSU after that boot into android and see if all works.
9- Again Via Fastboot boot into TWRP make a backup of everything working fine. Boot into android.
0- Again same Via Fastboot boot into TWRP and now install your TWRP image via TWRP install function. So if by any means this is the culprit you can still revive your phone via your backup.
Attachments to Download
1- Adb Package can be found Here.
2- Download the latest TWRP.img 3.0+ from Here . This file needs to be on your computer and external sdcard.
3- Download the latest SuperSu zip (2.67+) from Here [Thanks to Chainfire] and stick on external sdcard as well.
Since downloading is complete now simply unzip the adb folder (containing fastboot by default) and paste both the TWRP image file and SUPERSU zip inside it.
Now Hold Shift and Open Command prompt here.
1- Input command to see if your device is visible in ADB.
Code:
adb devices
if you see your device and the status is off line then there will be a prompt on your G4 screen waiting for approval, accept it and input same command now all will be fine.
2- Now input below commands one by one. ( All credits to Autoprime )
Code:
adb reboot bootloader ( This will reboot your device to Fastboot mode )
fastboot oem unlock ( This will wipe all your data )
fastboot getvar unlocked ( This will check your bootloader status: Should be successful )
fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-h811.img ( Phone boots TWRP ) Please put the full file name with .img extension or it wont work.
3- Now the Phone should be in TWRP install SuperSU from there which you have already pasted inside your external SD card.
4- Reboot to system and see if SuperSU is installed. In some cases First flash of SuperSU does not work if your case is same the again boot to Fastboot and from there boot into recovery, since your bootloader is unlocked no need to repeat the unlock OEM command.
5- Now for safer side follow the steps 7, 9, 0 mention in Preparation heading above.
Hopefully all will be in your favor.
Useful Links if you still fail
Kdz 20-O after download must be unzipped

Disclaimer: Nothing in this thread is my work, if i have missed any credit please do let me know i will add. I know several guides are available for same purpose so if any body finds it offending any rights can ask the moderators to remove this thread. The purpose only is to guide simple people like me to save their devices from getting bricked.

As by reading the thread many people are falling for permanent TWRP installation as its mention in the OP anyways for people not getting permanent Recovery follow below:
Boot to TWRP from fastboot Bootloader
When recovery comes up click Install >>>> then in the right below corner you ll see a tab for IMAGE >>> press it browse the recovery IMG which you stored in your SD card >>> swipe to flash >>> From asking where to install >>> select recovery >>> DONE.

Indeed needs to be in both but needs to be in the same Folder as Fastboot file, if not wont work.
beside will be cool if you add a NOTE about if they are in 20o they must stick with 20o base roms, if not they'll get Hard-Brick.

Guys,
If I read it right:
LG G4 must be on 20o (stock) to follow this instruction.
If it’s on 20i or below, it must be updated to 20o (OTA or whatever) first!
It might be obvious for you, but not for me.
Again, but better be safe, then sorry.

This is not specific to 20o. It's the same steps we've been using all along. Nothing new to see here.

problem with fastboot
Thanks you for helping:fingers-crossed:

problem with fastboot
Hi,
I am a newbie in xda. I am trying to root and install TWRP into my lg g4. I am using software version H81120o. I checked enable OEM unlock and USB debugging. I have downloaded lg driver though lg bridge and all the files from the post. However, I got two problem while installing the twrp-3.0.2-0-h811.img.
1st problem (stuck here and need to reboot also not showing h811 on "the list of devices attached" after typing command "adb reboot bootloader"):
C:\Windows\system32>adb devices
List of devices attached
LGH811xxxxxxxx device
C:\Windows\system32>adb reboot bootloader
C:\Windows\system32>fastboot oem unlock
...
FAILED (remote: Already unlocked)
finished. total time: 0.012s
C:\Windows\system32>fastboot getvar unlocked
unlocked: yes
finished. total time: 0.004s
C:\Windows\system32>fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-h811.img
cannot load 'twrp-3.0.2-0-h811.img': No error
2. 2nd problem(stuck here and need to reboot):
C:\Windows\system32>fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-h811.img
< waiting for device >
I checked online this problem might do with driver not up to date. Under device manager, my lg g4 is recognized under android device with android bootloader interface.
What should I do now?
Thanks you for helping:fingers-crossed:

This Root-Method worked like a charm... The only issue I'm running into is for the TWRP recovery to actually stick. When i manually reboot into recovery I get the little android guy with his chest open and the red triangle with the "!" in the middle.....am I doing something wrong by any chance??

I did everything but can't seem to get TWRP installed

Thanks a lot for this write up. I have been trying for about 2 weeks to root my g4 and it worked finally, So many thanks to you

same problem here but I just now got it working...sort of . I still can not make anything come up except the factory data reset when I use the phone volume and power button.
I thought it might be just that I wasn't coordinated enough so I downloaded this small app to do a recovery reboot.
After I installed the app and used it, I got the little android guy with his chest opened with the red triangle. I took out my battery, put it back in and booted my phone with the power button.
I then connected my phone to computer via usb and went back into adb and opened TWRP and installed the twrp-3.0.2-0-h811.img again but this time I looked around a little more first, and noticed a setting to either install in boot or recovery partition. I selected recovery partition (neither were selected) and installed it. Now I can boot to TWRP recovery with the app I installed but still nothing but factory data reset with the volume and power buttons. I can live with this for a while until I can maybe find a solution.

I had the same issue but when u get into twrp make sure the IMG is in your SD card and to permanently have twrp installed go to home and press install.. Choose from image and install hope this helps

In regard to booting into TWRP recovery with just the power and vol buttons, I just read this on another thread:
It boots into what appears to look like a default LG G4 factory reset page. For me, i clicked reset, and then yes, and surprisingly it brought me to where i wanted to go. TWRP Recovery.
I tried this and it worked for me as well.
I had been there before and tried it and it did a factory reset after I had spent an hour or two tweaking my phone, I was not a happy person. This time I did feel almost positive I had TWRP installed correctly and did not have nearly as much time spent getting things set up like I want them on my phone...It was still scary pressing that reset button and yes button.
If you don't have TWRP (or maybe some other recovery) installed it will factory reset your phone. I just thought I would share this and what happened with me. Do it at your own risk.

TWRP, Root, Xposed k4 note with 6.0 M.M simple and 100% success with all files in 1.

Hi friends today I am going to tell you how to root k4 note which have Android 6.0 (M.M).
Many members have already given this process but in some place the needed files are missing and some other place the process is not explained clearly. So to slove this I have made all in one file and given the process as simple as possible by me.
This process have worked very fine for me. Rooted 8 k4 notes without any problem.
Read all and follow. And do it on your own risk. I am not responsible if anything go wrong.
First of all I would like to introduce myself ( I know it's not necessary but to some of them to believe my work )
Myself is Kaushik. I have been using XDA since 2 years but never opened an account and replied in posts. Now after learning a lot I thought I should also start replying. May be I am a junior member here but not truly a junior member.
I have flashed more then 250 mobile of all brands. And thanks to XDA my success rate is 99.7 %
Thanks to XDA to making me local gadget guru. Now here every one believe that if even service center also fail to slove some software problems but at last kaushik will surly pass.
OK now let's see how to root.
(This will void your warranty)
(Phone will factory reset, which means all of the apps and data will be gone, not the internal sd)
(To root Lenovo K4 note you need to first unlock the bootloader. See below to know how to do it )
1. First download the two files from the links I have given.
All files needed to install twrp and root are in one zip file. Link is below.
https://mega.nz/#!D8MAwSzK!BYSzl4FGE_dbLy5wwzS0lbwSSNbelB7eMmfwdQjDoos
Usb ADB drivers for k4 note. Link below.
https://mega.nz/#!281yHDoI!iuIynHRqf8ui7IffStBhwrJvHJ4NBn1eExy_MYpr13o
Now to unlock bootloader.
2. Now in your mobile go to 'Settings' / 'About Device' / press 7 times on built number to unlock Developer options.
3. Now go to Developer options and click on 'OEM Unlocking' and press enable.
4. Next enable the USB debugging.
Your bootloader is now unlocked.
Now in PC extract the downloaded files
5. Install lenovo adb drivers ( it is in the link I have provided ) on your pc
6. Go to adb folder and press and hold shiftkey and right click with mouse. Select open command from here.
7. type adb reboot bootloader You need to authorize the pc if not done already. (The phone will boot onto fastboot, you can see small fastboot written on the left corner of the screen once the phone boots)
8. Now open adb folder and open 'unlock_bootloder'. A message will be displayed in mobile to press volume up key to continue. Press volume up key. A message in pc cmd will display as press any key to continue. Now press any key.
9. Now in cmd type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
A message will be displayed as done.
Next part is very important
10. After its done press volume up and down button together with power button. Once you see the lenovo white screen, release the power button, release the volume keys once the screen goes black, wait for few minutes till you boot into the new custom recovery.
To avoid black screen set brightness below 30 in twrp settings. ( Not so important if don't understand how to do it )
11. Now the recovery allow modifications by just swiping and the goto mount and tick system and go back
12. Now go to advance, then file manager, then system, and delete the file named, recovery from boot.p ( if you are facing problem plz see point 14. )
13. After done do back and flash supersu.zip. (it is in the link which I have provided)
Now you phone is rooted and the supersu app will appear in the app drawer.
14. If you are facing problem with file manager flash aroma file manager ( it is in the link ). It will open in twrp. Now go to system and delete recovery from boot.p.
If you do not delete the said file again stock recovery will be replaced. If it happens so again you must repeat the steps from step 1.
Next to install xposed after boot up install xposed.apk (app is in the link)
Next flash xposed zip file. (Zip in the link )
Please don't forget to hit thanks if it helped you.
It will make me post more and help others.
Thanks
Regards
Kaushik.

HELP ! Fastboot doesn't recognize my device
s230 update brought a lot of issues thus I downgraded to s218 & now on s219. I am able to get adb to recognize my device but not fastboot. Therefore I am unable to unlock bootloader!
When I type in " adb reboot bootloader" or click on the "unlock_recovery.bat" file provided, I get booted into a dark screen where "fastboot" is written at the bottom left & the command prompt window says < waiting for device> & I am stuck there until I reboot my phone.

I got the same problem. I found out the recovery file he linked to was that of a single SIM Nokia 1 (TA-1060) mine is a Dual Sim Nokia 1 (TA-1047)
I downloaded the TA-1047 original firmware (I googled it)
I used it to reflash boot and recovery. Then redid everything using this time the right original recovery.bin from the TA-1047 firmware and it worked

Android Downgrade
I'm planning to buy this phone but I don't like the software. Can I install Android Kit Kat on it?

Hi! I have soft-bricked Nokia 1 ta-1047(recovery bootloop). How can i unlock bootloader without checkin OEM unlock in dev settings? Thks!

Hi! I had some trouble understanding the instructions. Step 1 worked without a hitch but I ran into some problems in step 2. I'd be really grateful for some help.
Do I copy the text in the link, paste it into a .txt file and then save it to "ftsab.mt6735" in the Minimal And Adb Fastboot folder on my pc?
Do I press cancel when twrp asks me for a password? Or do I need a password? I pressed cancel.
When I go into "mount" in twrp and click on "vendor" do I then go the command window on my pc (from the adb fastboot folder) and type "adb push fstab.mt6735 /vendor/etc/fstab.mt6735"? This is what I did and it might have come with an error I'm not sure.
What is the backup of boot for? I guess it's just a safety measure. For some reason I couldn't do that because it said something about encyption (I think, unless I'm getting mixed up with before) so I had to skip that step and go onto flashing the recovery. The instructions now say "flash stock recovery as boot (you can get stock recovery from here)". Is the stock recovery the "recovery.bin" file and do I put that in the adb and fastboot folder? I did that and typed "fastboot flash recovery recovery.bin" in the command window. Was that right or not?
The instuctions say "restart the system" Is that from the twrp menu? I restarted the phone via twrp but it didn't restart into stock recovery it restarted into the normal operating system. I knew then that I'd done something wrong. I then turned off the phone and tried accessing the stock recovery by pressing the volume up and power on and it started in twrp! Am I getting confused? Please can someone help me! Thank you!

If you're phone booted fine into system and you can access twrp then just flash magisk as you've done ok and the phone and twrp are working

How to "flash stock recovery as boot" ?
How to "flash stock recovery as boot" ? I went to fastboot mode and flashed recovery.bin then rebooted to recovery and it showed "no commands". No options were there.

Thanks. But I'm still not sure. I confess I'm a novice. I actually ended up bricking my phone because I went on to do something wrong. I'll get another phone this week to try and root again, hopefully successfully this time. Isn't the step to make a backup of the boot really important because we have to flash that boot near the end? I thought it was necessary. I also wonder whether I should have typed "fastboot boot recovery.img" instead of "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" because the instructions say "flash stock recovery as boot"? Edit: Perhaps I'm wrong again

Did you manage to get a backup of the boot?

I can have no access in the udev/ etc.... Can you please explain the following steps how to do it? is it a linux command that needs to be done on a linux running computer or does it works on Windows too?
i was indeed happy that it completed the backup to my external SD Card made with Magisk a patched boot image, but doesn't seem to be rooted after all, what next? it says every time Magisk is not installed do i have to flash it in minimal ADB
Sincerely

Rooting this for now is a gamble there is only 1 stock ROM to flash and it's for the UK single SIM varient of the Nokia 1 only thing you can have is root and twrp and maybe flash a gsi but most of them are still buggy if you can flash stock and stay that way untill further development.

Hi, try holding the power button for a few seconds and then releasing it and pressing volume up.
For the record, I managed to root my ta 1060 phone. Thanks everyone. I think I had a problem initially because twrp asked for a password due to phone encryption and I ignored it. I managed to bypass that password screen by not rebooting after flashing twrp, instead going straight into twrp and following the instructions.
I've now got a problem getting usb otg to work. I've added the files android.hardware.usb.host.xml, handheld_core_hardware.xml and tablet_core_hardware.xmls. It's showing as enabled in all the app checkers but Usb Otg Helper says E: Mount directory could not be created, E: This app will not work, OTG mass storage not supported?, NTFS write support failed(no fuse). That's not a topic for here though. If anyone can help, can they pm me please

No, when I found it asked for a password I realised I shouldn't have rebooted the system and so I wiped the data and flashed twrp again and no more password.

My TA-1066 is basically dead. Unlocked, doesn't boot into recovery, flashing the ROM fixed it last time this happened. Now it doesnt. In a bootloop with the NOKIA logo.
Help would be really appreciated.

Question IDK Redmi 10S

Hi there.
I wanted to root a Redmi 10S device. Bootloader was also opened. The flash went during fastboot mode, then after the fastboot reboot command, the device restarted, but it only shows "Redmi" and the word android at the bottom. I tried to access recovery and fastboot mode, but powr+volD only restarts the device and only the Redmi inscription is visible.
I don't know what they call this state in which the device is.
If there is a suitable link on the forum, I would appreciate it.

Hi there!
What did you flash excatly?
I mean, did you flash the whole phone, or just a patched boot image?

Then, you don't have to flash the whole phone again, just flash back the original image, and try rooting with twrp and magisk zip file (rename the apk file from magisk.apk to magisk.zip, and then flash it in twrp)
If you can't install twrp, or something went wrong, take a full backup from your phone (like using google's backup service, and Miui backup--> it 'll save the backup to internal storage/miui/backup/AllBackup) and then ypu can reflash the phone with mi flash tool, but don't lock the bootloader back, and after flash, you shuold enable oem unlock in developer settings.
One quick question:
Did you enable oem unlocking in developer settings, before trying to flash the modified image?

yepp, enable oem unlock. But fastbootmode is required for all operations. But fastboot mode doesn't work.

What do you mean it doesn't work?
Can't enter into fastboot mode?

Can't enter fastboot mode. The device only shows "Redmi" lettering. If fatboot worked, I could have done it already. power+volume down, the device just restarts and shows "redmi".

Hmm..
And if you holding the volD and power buttons together for a longer time?
Like a min, or sth
I had a similar situation, but after a few tries it went into fastboot mode

it just restarts, as long as I press and hold volume down+power, if I don't press it, it just shows the redmi text

Hi there the forgive my on my bad english and text.
The Only thing u can do is restoring the firmware by using brom mode, Look it up or follow the steps i'll give u....
First keep in mind brom works best Without the batary conected . So remove the thin cover plate at the back u can loosen it with heat , after removing the cover move all screws and remove the housing so u can disconect the batary at the mainboard .
Next u will have to install the Vcom drivers according your chipset mediatek etc.
For the Vcom drivers and install of it u can follow https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-16640.html
U must download or allready have a firmware file in fastboot format , Open up SP Flash tool and go to optionsd and select connection, click the w/o battery option and close it. Open your scatter file and than click on download . Insert your phone wile holding your volume down or up , with my device a redmi note 10s it was the up and down to getter for it was flashing the rom. this should flash your device back with a working fastboot and working rom.
Hope u will succeed...

I can unbrick the device at any time. There is another problem. An incorrect boot file is probably being copied. After TWRP you will never enter android again. But TWRP also only loads up to the subtitle. I tried a lot of methods. Now I will try google p ex. android and make it root.
But, if someone can recommend a device intended for gaming, but easy to root, then I will buy one

If you can root it easily, then the expensive one is good for me! Normal root was not available for typical gamer phones for years. If I buy something for which root may not be available, then I'm wasting my money...
