hi thankyou for replying. basically all im able to do is get into apx mode (nvflash), stupidly i decided to test the thing that i found where the phones with the unlockable bootloaders(23400) could use the chinese kdz v20a and id stumbled across that we could apparently unlock the bootloader. although we had the it saying it was unlocked we had the problem of the system acting otherwise, so i dumbingly thought right if its not actually unlocked i shouldnt be able to remove the bootloader and done the command fastboot erase bootloader and now am stuck in this position
i have backups of of the main partitions( APP and SOS LNX) ect but not sure if useful) and the problem is currently im getting usb write failed with nvflash
i cannot boot into s/w mode or recovery although sometimes i can connect to my pc and it says that a usb composite device cannot start
thankyou for replying i deeply appreciate it
There are at least two ways to get into SW, with or without battery. Did you tried both? Pressing vol+ instead of vol- gives you another mode, you tried? Try them all after re-install the drivers and with LGFlash Tool. Select all ports and see if you have communication.

hmm... as I know you full-bricked your device ...
you need to enter download mode by an external action (from PC) using ''usbboot.exe'' to load two files that will turn on your phone into download mode by the command :-
Code:
usbboot <2ndstage> <image>
for example (for LG-P920 (LG Optimus 3D)) :-
Code:
usbboot p920-aboot.2nd p920-u-boot_fastboot.bin
then flash the bootloaders :-
Code:
fastboot flash x-loader x-loader.img
fastboot flash u-boot u-boot.img
this will force the phone into download mode or fastboot . by fastboot flash bootloader and by download mode flash *.DZ system .
but the problem is ...
we don't have these two files (*.2nd & *.bim or *.img) those are nessesery for this process .
I don't have the skill to port/make/compile them ..
Try contact a good Tegra 3 Developer so every CPU family has its own files to boot .
If your device was from OMAP44xx family I could help you because the files are exist , but Tegra 3 ... it's a little new .
Good Luck
there is some u-boot.img and x-loader.img for the p880 here in the forums.i have my normal boot.img ect and even the contents of sys and the dev folder alll backed up also back nandroid backups if any of them would be useful.
thankyou OS_HACKING you have at least give me something that i can look into and a glimmer of hope. if i manage to fix it i need to learn to not meddle with the phone and leave any hacking to the pro's. really gutted as my phone is like my right arm,its with me 24/7 and im usually always on it.. ive had to use my old acer a500 of my daughter for now and its such a big change
@RuedasLocas
yeah mate ive tried both methods, the only thing apart from apx mode is occassionally it says there is a device that cannot start when connected to pc,.thankyou also mate i appreciate help from you both

In mine (V20A), APX doesn't work.
It was already hard to do something in V10x, in V20A the device is not even recognized...
Probably the best change will be using (or try it) LGFlash Tool or Official B2CApp to flash a V10x version, and probably the best
will be a V10A.
Don't forget to check if you're using the correct .dll.
Check if you have the latest drivers:

http://www.4shared.com/file/ZSMf2x6n/LGUSBModemDriver_Eng_WHQL_Ver_.html7
Goog luck on that. :fingers-crossed:
my pc finds it in apx and installs the drivers , also i can get it too recognise there is a device there for nvflash, i think that i would have to use Wheelie along with nvflash. when ive tried one way to revive my phone with nvflash it stated that the partition couldnt be found. which i guess is because im using the flash.bct and flash.cfg from ICS Bootloader which was extracted a while ago, il need to get them from the jb bootloader
ive got the u-boot.img and x-loader from our phones if they are needed
if not i guess il just have to save money to buy another 4x hd.i cannot see myself loving a phone as much as i like the 4x
thankyou
ive done some more looking around and trying different things, and it seems to even have the chance to get anywhere il need the following extracted from jb, the flash.cfg and the BCT and bootloader.bin. i found an nvflash that didnt give me the unknown device error but it stopped at it couldnt find the partitions mentioned the current partition table i was using(it was from ICS which i think some partitions was named different

And how can I extract that?
You tried ADB? Maybe (if it works of course) pushing those unsecure img to unlock the EUR-XXX can bring it to life somehow...
I'm really out of ideas.
I tried APX with several drivers but the only thing I got was a bluescreen and a computer crash... device remains unknown
I think that nvflash for our phone needs some encryption keys (SBK keys) and AFAIK nobody has founded what they are so far. They may be Imei or sn dependant. So I think you can't use nvflash and maybe its better to send device to LG service if you can.
thats what wheelie is for, also id have thought that if the bootloader could be erased from within fastboot wihtout an sbk and, which isnt as low level as nvflash wouldnt it be different,
remember i dont have a bootloader thats signed with an sbk or communicates to the fuse, i know that on the transformer (tegra 3) they had the work around of something to do with wheelie

from what ive read when you fully unlock your bootloader like yours its possible that theyve blocked nvflash, mine was done with the chinese kdz and i had it saying unlocked in fastboot getvar all but it wasnt saying unlock in S/W or within android its self
i think skydev managed to extract the bct ect from the bootloader so il ask him if he still has them or if not then how to extract them
ive managed to get the bootloader.bin. i think i should able to progress when i have the others, adb doesnt also work mate, as the bootloader is at the very beguinning of all processes except nvflash
could you look and see what your odm files say, they are in sys/firmware/fuse/ i think, thankyou
another thing that il look into is someone mentioned about enabling jtag or write access by bridging two points inside the phone, this would obviously be the last thing when all else fails i just need to look in the lg service pdf for the schematics

thankyou mate, as i said from when i first come to the lg 4x part of xda forums, your a good bloke, always helping people as much possible
after some more thinking,im struggling to understand why if the bootloader was unlocked could we not use unsecured boot and dexters cwm on the chinese kdz, and why was it saying unlocked in fastboot getvar all but saying locking in android and no unlocked text in S/W mode
what else apart from the bootloader can give the error of boot image signature error, and if the bootloader wasnt unlocked would it be possible to physically delete it, or could it have told whatever was saying it was unlocked that its erased while its actually not been but all link to it erased
i mananged to find my sys folder which i copied to my pc and noticed a difference in our odm_reserved files, which i think is to do with bootloaders
yours is
0x00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000040000000c0
while my odm_reserved was
0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000008000000000
not sure exactly what that means but strange
------------ does anyone known of what the load address and entry address is about,
bct file: flash.bct
booloader file: bootloader.bin
load addr 0x300d8106
entry addr 0x300d8106

Probably will be enough the correct driver for APX mode on v20a, than with nvflash try to rollback whatever you made.

ive tried to root my HTC ONE but failed.
i followed all steps and everything seemed perfect.
installed BMP driver, HTC driver, HTC Sync, got adb.exe AdbWinApi.dll AdbWinUsbApi.dll fastboot.exe from qbking77
i am already HTC Dev user so just logged in and got token successfully.
finally i saw 'unlock bootlaoder?' screen on the last step, selected 'yes' and rebooted.
but my device is still locked.
ive tried all process once again but 'unlock bootloader?' screen on the last step doesnt appear on my device anymore....
i got token again and again but all of them didnt work.(even first one doesnt work anymore: unlock bootloader screen doesnt appear)
ive tried re-lock my device with this command: fastboot oem lock
my device re-locked successfully(RE-LOCKED appeared on the top of screen at bootloader menu)
and then, i tried to unlock again, 'unlock bootloader?' screen successfully appeared on the last step.
i selected 'yes' and rebooted
BUT IT IS STILL LOCKED.
i followed this step a couple of times but nothing worked.
i dunno what the problem is...
i didnt have any errors on entire step to unlock.
anybody can help me to unlock my device???
u guys can check out my device information down below.

Here you go buddy - follow Mike's guide here - works fine , all I had to do was choose a different custom back up than the one posted in the guide and not change the name to recovery.img , but leave the one you select as named - like recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-m7 , so your final command line would would read fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-m7 , see the guide and you'll understand what im on about
you can search XDA for the custom recovery you want and also have a look here

My phone has no network and it says no sim card. After further investigation it appears that this is because the IMEI number has just gone, it doesnt exist on the phone. It is standard I have never changed software so have no idea how this could happen. Tried factory reset but nothing works. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your guidance...I have tried both option but it get stuck in middle somewhere and not able to flash the kdz file.
So at this moment LG Mobile support tools not able to cross 10% in firmware update process and stops due to some error.
With KDZ update tools, same situation....and device can connect to adb terminal no other recovery mode options.
So using adb terminal is there any chances to do some fix ?
I think I have currupted my boot loader during installation of third party recovery software without doing boot loader unlock option.
Please guide or suggest any other try.....

It was happened like......the phone was working ok with latest official updates V20A and suddenly lost the IMEI number so Mobile network also. After some try finally I have done factory reset..but it was not working as expected...some time it has shown IMEI but lost also...tried many time factory reset but not worked...so tried with LG Mobile repair under upgrade and recovery option but it was failing at 10 % everytime. So thought lets intall new ROM so decided to install cyanogonmod so for preparation rooted phone and installed CWM recovery ....as doing all this first time so may be forgot to unlock the bootloader so after installation of CWM recovery phone has not booted and also not going to recovery menu. After that under upgrade mode tried to burn KDZ file using LG mobile support tool but that also not working.
So now the situation is, the can only go in to firmware update mode and some time getting connected to adb terminal.
So now is there any change of BL repair through adb terminal or the only option remain is visit LG support....?
Please guide....

Did you downloaded the files??
Install Drivers and follow the steps properly,
this should work for you to keep connected,
One more thing run drivers and flashtool as administrator, I already PM you.
Still having problems, please let me know.
If your phone is still not booting, I am afraid that you bricked it.

I finally made it to flash TWRP with a flash tool I found via a doogee-blog, a official doogee Q&A site and a blog on doogeemobile.
Why do I have to verify so often?
EDIT: I had a look at my documents, got the flash tool from dogeemobile.com and the TWRP 3.0.2 from needrom. You have to pay attention that you use ROMs for the particular processor of the maxpro (MT6737 M). SU from here of course. :good:
HTH
Why do I have no verification to do any more??
still cant do it
messing around for a week and still no sucess.
flash tool says !sucessful! but i reboot and get stock recovery - not what i expect (twrp)...
also cpu-z says is mt6735- but if i try that one i get :
chip type not match
targetef use value 0xA4020000
but it works with mt6737 - it just dont reboot into that other loader....
any ideas
mlcrip co uk/DooGee/i1.jpg
also tried both x5pro and x5maxpro...
(TWRP-Doogee-X5-MAX-PRO.zip)
(TWRP_Recovery_X5_Pro.rar)
dev enabled, usb debugging, oem unlocking on,
also yes, i do imediately go for bootloader (volume up while turning on)- doesnt work no matter what.
UPDATE:
DooGee X5Max_Pro MT6737M (Android 6.0, 20161123, kernel 3.18.19+)
i sorted it. turns out i had to use x32TWRP (fund it here somewhere on this site)
MT6737M_Android_scatter.txt (plus image come with it)
SuperSU-v2.78-SR3-.zip
also i randomly went for adb commandline to 'unlock rom' not sure if it was necessary, but wont hurt.
so if any noob wanna easy way,
1. 'minimal adb and fast boot' to unlock rom (few cmd commands and you done)
2. start flash tool, set CORRECT scatter file (MT6xxx- if you set wrong model it will give you error popup)
3. set DOWNLOAD ONLY' on drop down box. press DOWNLOAD button.
4.REMOVE BATTERY off your phone. Plug usb cable. youll get 'sucess' pop up window. close the flash tools. disconnect phone but keep it OFF!
5.pop in the battery. press volume up+on button.
at this point you should get some proper user interface, not the black screen with some letters (stock bootloader) something went wrong.
what you should see imediately once you turn it on- just google TWRP images lol.
techbeasts.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/TWRP-Recovery.bmp
also all files needed (incl flash tool) i dropped here:
one by one (in case if someone needs scatter file or something)- or inside 'all' folder- all tools compressed into rar

I'm going to root my phone. First off the why? I recently discovered PlayStation remote play and use it on my computer. I was excited to use it on my phone but then found out only Sony phones work I guess... So I read somewhere don't remember, that if I root my phone, I can add Sony files to rooted phone to allow it to use PlayStation remote.
1st phone is moto x 2nd
2nd phone zte maven 2
First phone I use for an actually phone 2nd one is brand new never used.
So I heard I need to use adb and something else I believe. Can someone help me? Once again main reason PlayStation remote play

First you must unlock bootloader from official motorola site.
Google unlock moto x 2014 and do it.
Second you must download adb and fastboot to your pc.
Third with adb flash twrp.
And last flash supersu with tuttorial from xda .
Keep walking.
Thanks. Any chance you can attach links for downloads for PC and also files. If u can add tutorials I can follow those too. I have rooted couple times before but if I do the moto that's my actual phone and I don't want to mess it up. Will it mess with my plan or screw me over in any way? I've only done phones I don't use.
Thanks again for any help
So Ive been reading and need a little help.
1. I have moto x2014 (is it pure edition?)supposedly. (It's at&t white front wooden back 8gb. Believe 5.1.1) I need to know so I can do the first step.
2.downloads to adb and fastboot for PC? I was hoping someone had a link so I know I don't download anything bad.
*Edit* I used this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118
3. How to flash? And need the zip packs/files for twrp and SuperSU? (Which I put on root of SD card?)
*Edit*
Also by doing this will my phone operate the same?(no extra step to put kernal/os on?) I just want to know how to root and add Sony software to use the app. Thanks again for anyone's knowledge
*Edit*
I'm having a tough time navigating the forum, thank for the help people

Thank you I will read and try. And as far as if I root the zte maven 2 I would just get the drivers for zte and switch the product name in command lines correct?
First off thanks for your help and anybody else who may contribute.
ive been trying to listen and follow lol. anything with (...) is stuff
i added
First you must unlock bootloader from official motorola site.
Google unlock moto x 2014 and do it.
(the link you added brought my to a page i click next and tryed to sign up
it said i had an account so i signed in with the email on my phone an then it
brought me to a page that wasnt available. So do you have another link or is
there something im missing. im having trouble unlocking it)
Second you must download adb and fastboot to your pc.
(i downloaded
*minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4.2_setup application
*motoroladevicemanager_2.5.4 application)
Third with adb flash twrp.
(few things.
*adb is just command prompt right?
*flash? i know means install sorta of. do you have command line?
*the link had three things to click on
1.this was on white screen
58337e4962e12d37f740a417601db4e3 twrp-3.1.1-0-victara.img
2. twrp-3.1.1-0-victara disc /image file
3. twrp-3.1.1-0-victara.img.asc /asc file)
And last flash supersu with tuttorial from xda .
(once again, flash? im assuming i just need command line like,
adb install supersu.apk.
*also files i downloaded were
1. update-supersu-v2.76-20160630161323 /compressed zip
2. root-boot-6.0-xt1097-mpes24.49-18-7 /compressed zip)
***So is there any files im missing to root?
How do i unlock my bootloader or whatever it is? (link didnt work for me)
What is flash?(i think install)
it says my device does not qualify to unlock bootloader. so yea I don't want to give up but that killed my hopes. I can get into fasboot flash mode and have boot mode selection menu and it says device is still locked. I got the link to work and used fastboot oem get_unlock_data used their program to have same layout for unlock code and it says your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking. if anyone can help thanks

Some variants of the Moto X 2014 cannot be unlocked. Put the phone in Bootloader Mode and:
fastboot getvar all
Copy and save all the info into a Notepad file, then go to the Moto/Lenovo Forums here:

What model do you have my friend?
Fot the tutorial ...
First unlock bootloader and install twrp.
All other you can flash them from the twrp recovery and i mean supersu and many more.
From adb can flash stock rom clean.
hey gus I did that command and made a save file in notepad. so just post it?
and pap I believe xt1097
according to ur link gus my phone is not unlockable becaue my cid was 0x001. so yea I guess im giving up thanks guys for your time. im really bummed because I modded and rooted things in the pass and this by far has been the hardest. I figured I could do it manually or a custom firmware would help. if I install twrp somehow as a recovery is there a way to root of that? I just don't get y I cant unlock bootloader. I understand that I cant, but don't get how there isn't a way around it. once again thanks people. this is a bummer...........................
is there any way to get unique_key for the command line?
fastboot oem unlock UNIQUE_KEY
im so annoyed right now that i cant unlock this phone. its ridiculous that i cant unlock it, like seriously please help from anyone. i dont know y i cand get the unique key to unlock my phone. can i call motorola to ask for it? or at&t? i just dont get y i cant unlock it with any method. i know there is someone out there who can help, please spare me some time and help me i beg of u.
u think this will work?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/root-bootloader-unlock-att-xt1097-5-1-t3309889
