[Q] HELP--Stuck On LG Boot Logo

I need help, my phone is stuck on the LG screen at boot, when I reboot to attempt getting into CWM i get the screen that says "are you sure you want to do a factory reset...." When I do so and factory wipe it goes back to the LG boot screen and doesn't go into Clockwork Recovery. Tried many times but no luck. I also tried connecting it to my pc and getting the LGNPST program but it doesn't see or recognize my phone as there is no way for me to connect it to USB Mass Storage.
Could I have really bricked my phone? I have screwed it up before but always able to get into CWM and turn on USB Mass storage, now I cant even do that. Any Help Please!!!
OOPS sorry i somehow posted this twice!!!

Would help if you posted what you've done to the phone. Since you only said what the problem is not what you did to it.

Hey thanks for replying. Ok here it is. I downloaded Rom Manager from the market that I bought previously for an HTC i had and from there somehow flashed a ROM and the rest is history. Stuck on LG

I downloaded ROM Manger since I got rid of it awhile ago since it didn't work and I have no idea how you could of flashed a rom through it since it'll just say you have to have clockworkmod on your phone unless you picked a different model like the esteem which is this phone but different model which would probably mess up the phone. But after you flashed the rom did anything else happen? Like did the phone work or just reboot and stay at Lg logo?

You know it was late last night and you just reminded me that I did use the Esteem ROM, and after that all it did was rebooted and stayed at the LG Screen, And whenever I try to get into recovery all it does is verify if i want to reset to factory and wipe data, then back to LG. I cant get any of my computers to recognize it on either XP or Win7...Im sorry I didnt say that my phone was rooted and running GingerVOlt1.3 with bk over clock kernel as well

Hmm try the Irc channel see if the people there have answers. http://webchat.freenode.net/ Channel: #lgrevolution

thanks i did that last night but im not sure how to actually use the IRC i tried clicking on several names and ask for help but no one responded. I appreciate your time though.

It's a normal chatbox pretty much you talk to everybody unless you click a name just say you have a problem and list what happened and everything somebody should be able to help you.

ok cool thanks im actually trying it now

Put your phone in download mode then try lgnpst.

Beamer,
Thanks for your help. Unfortunately this does not work either. I have tried holding the power button and volume down button several times all it does is take me to the factory wipe screen and after confirming just reboots back to the LG screen and stays there. I dont know what else to try. I have tried on my new Win7 X64 laptop and also on an XP desktop that always works but non of them will "see" my phone as a storage device or anything. Any suggestions???

UPDATE!!!
Wow, I thought I would give it one last chance by trying to get it in download mode on my XP Desktop and holly cow, it actually worked and installed the drivers, however when I start the LGNPST it goes to the EMERGENCY function and makes me install a phonebook recovery but fails. I dont know what do do or where to get the "PhoneBook" file in question. Any ideas???

How do you get into download mode?! I need this really badly becauae mine boots and says LG. I wanna just get it to work again. I can't view that website on my phone.

Alright, emergency mode is:
1) Pull battery
2) Put battery back in
3) Press and hold volume up
4) Press and hold power button while continuing to hold the volume up button
5) Hold through splash screen
6) Should now be in download mode

Mt,
Want to say thanks for all the work you've done and continue to do with the Revo. Its the only saving grace we have. Maybe you could help me out with this. I am stuck on the LGNPST when I put my phone in Download mode, LGNPST see's it as an "unknown" and only allows me to do a Phonebook Programing under the Emergency Tab, but when I choose the only Bin File and Only *csv. file it displays as error and stops. Im not sure as to what it wants me to do or what its trying to do. In the past I was able to just flash the VS910Ztot and be all done but now I cant even get that option. Do you have any Idea what I need to do??? Please any input would be greatly appreciated.

Hey I had a similar issue with this and the download mode and everything except I was able to get into recovery but it would reboot to fast to restore a full nand backup and I couldn't get the .dll to work either what I ended up doing and it fixed it was booting into recovery going into backups and restore then advanced restore and had enough time in recovery to restore just the boot so I did that next thing I knew the phone rebooted automagically like it had been doing but this time it went past the lg and into the gingervolt boot animation then I got a black screen so I manually booted into recovery did the same steps except this time I was able to advanced restore the system and it rebooted again when it booted up I had a black screen so I boot back into recovery and was finally able to restore a full back up never got an auto reboot so I booted up and the phone worked fine.

Droid 3 Stuck at M Logo - Bricked?

Hey guys,
I just recently got a refurb Droid 3 after my old one had the backlight go out, I hand't had a chance to bootstrap it and put ICS on it. But I was able to get it rooted. I restarted my phone today and ever since it has been stuck at the M logo screen and I've tried everything I can find to remedy this.
I updated this morning to the most recent OTA update (5.7.906 I believe) and then rooted it.
To fix the issue I've tried a few different things. I tried Pete's SBF to 5.7.890 but I was getting an error about the cbt.bin file. I found that with the recent changed to 5.7.906 you aren't able to directly flash over it to go back to 5.7.890. I then found another post on here which had a script to go back to 5.7.890 from 5.7.906. I ran that and still had the same result.
Any other ideas or anything that I am missing?
I can get into fastboot, I've been using the scripts with moto-fastboot. Normal boot is just leaving me at the M logo, booting into recovery yields the same result.
Any help would be appreciated since I have no clue what else I can do at this point...

seems like a soft brick... should be fixable...
With the phone off, hold me, then the power button... then go down to BT TOOLS and select it ( volume up is the select button _ so when u do that it doesnt go to it?

I don't have a BT Tools selection. I do have BP Tools though. I selected it and it just sits there on the M logo as well...
I've tried a few of Pete's scripts with no luck so far (worked on the old Droid 3 when I put it back to stock before shipping it back).

Your 1 Click SBF ran fine and completed without errors but I'm still getting the same result, stuck at M logo.
Is there something I could be missing which is making it not boot that most SBFs don't include? That's the only thing I can think of at this point.

okay right after you use the 1click sbf
go HERE
download the. 906 update
place it on your external sdcard..
reboot into STOCK recovery and install the update
reboot
try that

I'm fairly certain that could work, if I could ever get into the Stock recovery....I'm not able to boot into anything. Going to try a few other things, if nothing else works I'll just take it in and see if I can get yet another warranty replacement.
Thanks for the responses, if you have any other ideas just let me know.
I think the main thing that needs to be addressed is that I need to be able to get into recovery and then I will be set to fix it. Right now it just sits at the M logo for Recovery (and any other options from the boot menu).

OTA issue

Recently I was having issues with my phone so I flashed the stock firmware and rerooted my phone. I hit to accept the OTA update by accident, and now I'm stuck in CWM recovery. I looked at other threads and the koush driver is not working, and when I try PDAnet's it thinks my phone is HTC and will not let me change that. I also cannot go into download mode, whenever I try to it just goes back to CWM. So ADB isn't working, nor is download mode. If anyone else has had issue with this and can help I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Do you still have any ROM files you can flash on your device? I had an issue just like this, and luckily I had a rom zip still laying around on my phone.

That won't work, he's probably stuck in a boot loop from taking the ota. There is a thread somewhere in xda that will help you out with this.

Use the lg flash tool. Its a sticky in one of the g2 forums. Just to double check, your phone was connected to your computer when you rebooted correct? I think you jeedbto hold volume button up as well to get into download mode.

[HOWTO] Upgrade to marshmallow, dowgrade to ZV6, and Fix Status 2

Well guys i was having problems as most of you guys saw on the the unoffical TOT thread but thanks to @autoprime for mentioning LG UP i was finally been able to get past status 2
Disclaimer:
I am not responsible with what happens to your device when using this program.
DO NOT TRY TO FLASH BACK TO ZV5/ZV4 OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
ATTENTION: DO NOT TRY TO FLASH BACK FROM ZVB TO ZVA OR BELOW BECAUSE OF A NEW ANTIROLL BACK PATCH.. AGAIN IF YOU DO YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE
Requriements:
-LG UP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803
- TOT Files:
Android Lolipop 5.1 ZV6 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-g4/development/restore-sprint-lg-ls991-zv6-tot-t3213196
- Micro USB cable from phone to pc and Drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-drivers-t3127648
Steps to downgrade
1. First download and install LG UP from the thread BOTH MSI files.
2. Now put your phone into download mode via holding down the volume + and plugging it in to the usb.
3. Fire up LG UP and at first it may say UNKNOWN on the window so what you wanna do is disconnect and reconnect wait a few seconds and it should work.
4. Now it should say LS991 and select it and click ok
5. Now on the window select your ZV6 TOT FILE and select UPGRADE
6. On the bottom of the window there should be three dots click on them and find your tot file.
7. Click start.
8. After that your phone should start progressing
9, Should restart and work.
10. If it dosent make sure you factory reset!! (Hold down volume down and the power button and power then go the factory reset and wipe it)
To fix status 2 error
Thanks to @autoprime
1. flash zv6 and get stuck at blue screen.
2. power off phone and close lgup.
3. boot into download mode again.
4. this time.. instead of using LGUP.. use LG Flash method.
5. make sure you set LG Flash to use "Board DL" at the bottom of the screen where u select dll and tot.
6. should be able to flash either zv6 or zv9 using LG Flash (with Board DL option).

Glad you finally got it figured out...I must have gotten really lucky as I also got the dreaded 2 the first time but after uninstalling and reinstalling everything I was able to get around it...I am bookmarking this for future reference. Thanks again for your and @autoprime work.

Thank you! You are a savior! I'll try to do it once I get home and update my post.
Finally, a sigh of relief. My phone is back from the dead!

Just tried this and it still didn't fix status 2. I get the error, but instead of continuing on the phone, it stops. It just hangs at 0%. I guess I may be sending this phone into LG (praying that they will fix it). I cannot afford a new one.

I have status 2 still.

Weird well I DONT remember what I exactly did sorry guys

Got my phone working did the steps 1-7 above but used zv6, then I went back to the flash tool and used the zv9 tot, board dl and it went through swimmingly.

Im going to update everyone that you CANNOT FLADH BACK TO Z5 OR ELSE YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!!

Where does the ZV9 tot file come from?

just got the ota notice this morning. i assuming its MM. is it pretty simple to downgrade back to zv6 (what phone came with stock). u have used lg up for fix bad flash but not comfortable with the lg flash method. aka open a comand window in lg root folder (method) is there a another flash method in case i get this "error 2"
thanks in advance.

So, tried downgrading to ZV6 from ZV9 and get stuck on Sprint boot image looping. Any suggestions on how to get it to boot correctly?

Has anyone successful downgraded back to ZV6 from ZV9?

So to be clear did you had ZV9 and did a successful downgrade to ZV6 using your steps??

Well, yes, kind of painful since I got stock on the Sprint Spark boot image (no boot loop, just the image) . So the painful part is that I needed to do a factory reset from factory recovery (lost everything )... but it then went ok.

That did it. Can confirm it works, followed all steps in the downgrade section and effectively it got stuck on the Sprint Spark image, had to go into recovery mode, select wipedata/factory reset and reboot phone. Im back from ZV9 to ZV6.

Worked for me too...on ZV6 now and going back to UltraPop.

Already have stock mm. Can I still root it? Where do I go? I'm fine with zv9. Or has root not been figured out yet..

worked. downgraded stuck on spark, then factory reset. working and updating as we speak
thank you

I have been able to flash back wards and forth using both flashing tech. Using LG UP and the old flashing way. Don't know why it worked but it did. Also pulled out as soon as the phone hit 100%.

LG G4 H811 (T-Mobile) bricked

Good morning,
I recently decided to attempt to root my LG G4 and install a custom ROM. I was able to unlock the bootloader and boot TWRP, but at this point I received an error when I tried to install the Cyanogenmod ROM that I had downloaded.
At this point, my phone is a brick. If I turn it on normally, the LG screen comes up and stays. There is a message in the upper lefthand corner saying that the bootloader is unlocked.
I am able to boot into download mode. I have tried using LGUP and the LG Flash Tool 2014 to flash the original kdz but I get connection errors with both approaches.
Any ideas what my next course of action should be?
Thanks in advance!

Mine is doing the same thing and I am getting errors on 9% on both versions of tools version 2014 and 2016. No one has an idea why? I have done this unit before what out any problems!

Use lg up and the newest kdz (20o). Manually enter download mode and then start lg up. Also you might have to download and install lg drivers onto your PC.

This is what solved the issue for me. I simply had the wrong KDZ. The 20o is the one I needed.

My lg g4 got the fault in the system where it stuck in the bootloader and all I did was us lg up and kdz 10n and the phone didn't boot but I was able to return it and get a phone because when you do that your deleted everything off it and making it to where it was when it came out of the box

One small thing you might want to try first. Open LGUP with your phone connected in download mode. Choose the kdz file you want to use, then CLOSE LGUP (leaving the phone connected). Then reopen LGUP and the kdz file should still be selected. Then click Start.

Have you try booting into download and open LG Bridge, software update and follow the steps it tells you?

Mine randomly restarted and entered a boot loop on the way into work today. I couldn't enter recovery. I just let it loop. When I checked it when I got to work about 30 minutes later, the screen was dark and I figured it had died. It was booted to my lock screen. The weird part is that all of my "recent apps" were still open. I'd taken the battery out several times. It now reboots without issue. Perhaps I slipped into an alternate universe where my phone didn't die on the way to work. #mandellaeffect

Hello,I got trouble connecting the LGUP. It tells me the device model is unknown so I can't choose it.I guess it's because I edited the build.prop:crying: Could you tell me how to rescue my phone?
