but now i dont have nova or cwm recovery ;/

try hard reset (search for it )

Download LGMobile Update http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111771 in this Update Kit. Then turn of phone, pull of battery and press and hold Vol+ button and plug in USB and then in LGMobile Update click on "Custommer Support" and Recovery Phone. Write your IMEI and click check. It can take a lot of time because it will download a new firmware.

nah, keep on holding that volume up then plug in the USB. have you installed the USB drivers?

Turn your phone off. Use eRecovery! Turn phone on then repeatedly hit Vol Down key then do factory reset. If no luck use KDZ updater.

yes, i plug usb cable to device with holding vol+ and 'sw upgrade, please wait...' screen appear. I tried again few minutes ago with kdz updater and via lg mobile update phone recovery and no luck. Phone is rebooting (black screen with blinking touch keys) when installing software on 90% ;/ of course installing software goes to 100% and says its completed and ok, but phone reboots on 90% ;/. I have installed all drivers, i tried on my laptop (win7) and my dad (win xp).

so maybe its normal, but really...i've tried a couple of times with kdz and phone recovery by lg mobile and still the same, black screen, blinking touch keys. And i dont have eRecovery any more beacause i flashed stock s/w but it dont work ;/

that's a big hello of a problem.... I jonno what else u can do... if I were u then I would flash it again and again... then maybe for the customer care center... although I think ur warranty is being voided so u will not be able to repair it for free... let's hope for the best and let us know what happens next... best of luck...

Przykro ki kolego, nie naprawisz tego sam. Musisz odeslac telefon do serwisu LG w Mławie...
Sorry pal, you can't fix it yourself. You must send it to LG service centre in Mława (Poland)...

+1 for this. Flash and flash. Try upgrading to V10E via KDZ. Me thinks it's a bootloader problem. Does LG SECURITY TEAM appears or not?
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium

yeah..i flashed this several times...with kdz updater and by lg mobile update->phone recovery. I flashed 10A and 10E...results the same. I dont know how LG SECURITY TEAM looks like but i didnt see anything else besides LG LOGO--> Black screen with blinking touch keys and just Black screen with blinking keys (even without lg logo). I give up with this, there is no hope for this phone i think, today im sending this to the service. Thanks for helping me i will certainly write here what happend if i get phone back

I also stuck on the same thing
Really for that reason i hate LG Black

Soft brick ??!!

hey guys,
I think my phone is bricked . I was trying to install a second rom with the help of Mithun's Rom Switcher (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425946) and when I tried to flash it it said no errors BUT when it shutdown the device didn't boot at all.
th thing that DON'T WORK is my display and my LED(it has to become purple before entering recovery), I already tried to connect the phone with flashtool doesn't see my device
the things THAT work are the LED(when I put in charger), hard reset with vibration(power + vol up 10sec) and hard shutdown with vibration(power + vol up 15sec)
please help me get any rom/recovery back
For the record I have a LTE version Xperia Z (C6603)

my communication with flashtool is restored(windows 8 driver reinstall resolved the communication) but I'm still unable to flash something.

Try SUS. You might lose everything but at least your phone will work.
Whoever said it can't rain all the time never went to England.

Flash cannot fix sds .
Suggest factory restore via recovery fails then its a new motherboard .

can you please provide me with a link of which i can buy a mobo ?

samsung s3 mini bring

Hello there,
I have the GT-I8190 model. I cant get it to boot from recovery (as the phone is totally bricked). I' ve tried the hard reset method (with the volume buttons etc.) and nothing happened. I have tried the Odin method - nothing there - as well as the flashtool method. The phone is unrooted with no unlocked bootloader.
I know there are a lot of posts refering to this problem, but I have really tried everything.
Any suggestions please?
Thanks a lot,
Maknis.

T-mobile - Note 4 keeps rebooting even after updating to new firmware.

Hi Guys,
I have used my T-mobile Note 4 for years since it came out. I have replace the batteries once, but like a month ago when there was an update my phone keep restarting and turning off. I then had to get another phone because of that I still cant get it to restart even after I bought a new battery, updated the firmware. can some one guide me the right way to do this right. I think I am not doing the flashing the right way.. with oldin, and the correct firmware. after I do that I get this installing updates andriod show and it stops and reboots again. please help. thanks
- this phone was never locked before
- Replaced the battery once
- one day when there were a bunch of apps that needed update with probably 35% battery I let it update and after that it kept rebooting
- So installed the twrp recovery.tar.md5 from here that didnt help
- So then from sammobile I downloaded the latest firmware and installed it, that didnt help too
So the question is can I just wipe the whole phone and start fresh? -

Follow these instructions and hopefully it will work.
Charge your battery full before begin
1,Download latest stock firmware
2,open odin options and check on "nand eraseall"
3,choose AP upload firmware and flash firmware.
4,after firmware flashed go to stock recovery and do factory reset.
5,reboot and wait 15 to 20 minutes.
Done.

download and install this using odin
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24651442761499080
if that didn't fix Im afraid you have to do the factory reset using TWRP factory reset or android recovery reset

Thank you for your response, unfortunately this didn't work for me I did install the latest firmware , but the phone doesn't go to the stock recovery mode for some reason and keeps rebooting. it does say Recovery booting... but it shuts off. so I have no way to do that even if I keep pressing the volume up, power and the home buttons pressed then release the home and power and keep pressing the volume button.

So I tried this yesterday evening,
- I did install the latest firmware which was suggest in by one of the comments above :
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24651442761499080
- then flashed it with philz recovery and did the factory reset and rebooted it but no luck.
- when restart the phone, its shows the Samsung note 4 logo then shuts off.

im afraid to say that your note 4 might bebroken now. If you go to the note 4 reddit, this has happened to many people and has something to do with the solder degrading after a few years iirc. Best thing you can do is buy a motherboard replacement for around 60 on eBay if nothing else works. I have replaced 3 note 4 motherboards for people i know that this has happened to.

- Ran into another issue where I am getting this 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.'
- For some reason the Oldin froze and I had no way to stop the download process.
- I tried using Kies to install the recovery but cannot, I did look for SM-N910T ...but nothing.

^^^This. I just had to replace our two Note 4 after years of service over the last two months. Same symptoms as yours. It is most assuredly hardware related.
Even "better", from the two replacements sent by TMo, one failed within the week. The replacement just abruptly shut off and doesn't turn back on unless the battery is removed for 20 min. or so.
However, once it turns on it freezes. Try to boot to recovery, it freezes before even loading it up. One time the screen display even corrupted on me.
So, tldr, it is time for a replacement MoBo. Good luck!

You have a bad battery, replace with this one dont buy off the eBay they are fake
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072KJRJ45/ref=psdc_7073959011_t4_B06XV8JSKK

The new battery may initially help, but it sounds suspiciously like the mmc is beginning to fail. Wakelock app set to option 4. Only thing that worked for me.
