Phone isn't starting - LG Optimus 4X HD

Welcome! I wanted to upload cm-11-20140405-NIGHTLY-p880 nightly to my phone. I used all in one i rooted it, applyed update from ADB, reboot system, downloaded ROM Manager and installed CWM Recovery. I threw CM and Gapps and wanted to do factory reset but unfortunatly i can't turn on recovery. Now when i turn on phone it stops on LG's logo. When i want to recovery it shows "boot image signature". Can anyone help me?

Die you unlocked the bootloader too it sounds you didn't you could try to fix this by flashing stock back with kdz flasher

I tried to upload V20B.kdz using software update, but the phone was not founded though that i plugged him. Also when i plug the phone to computer or to wall it shows this error and the phone is just restarting all the time. Is there a chance to let my phone live?

In addition to installing the latest drivers, you should hold VOLUME DOWN while plugging in the USB. This will let you enter S/W upgrade mode from where you can go back to stock.
One more thing, I suggest you use this method to get back to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2682146 Fast and easy. Next time make sure to have the bootloader unlocked before trying to flash a custom recovery. Good luck!

1- Wrong section.
2- You do not give any info about what is going on.
Have you used Odin before? Did you have USB debugging enabled? Have you tried other USB ports on your computer, or other computers if available? What happens when you plug your phone in to a computer? Do you have the proper drivers installed on your computer?
Going "only" by your topic, if that's truly the case I can only recommend that you build/use a jig. Otherwise we need more info.
Thanks...
I have been flashimg ROMs using Odin first, but recently after flashing Axura I noticed that I couldnt see my device on a pc (i tried a few) and then when I tried to flash odin, I was unable to.

You have been around awhile it seems so give more info so people can help. You never answered any of my questions. It could be as simple as your drivers messed up. But since you aren't really saying what you have done, what the phone does when plugged to the computer you aren't going to get much help.
ok!
So I have been regularly flashing roms without issue. Loaded drivers onto two different pcs without issue and was able to odin every time. Was also able to see my internal and external storage cards from both machines (one is xp, other w7).
I have flashed quite a few roms recently including flashing directly over a rom (phoenix rising 1 to 2) using only CWM. I did this because I couldnt get, my pc to see my device. So I am not sure of exactly when it went wrong.
I reinstalled the dirvers on both pcs
But that didn't help. Phone just charges. I have tried to ' restore' to stock but phone just hangs on bootscreen, but I was able to reflash 2.2roms usings CWM.
interestingly I have had real difficulty getting into download mode. Also, if I use rom manager to install a rom it says I have an error getting into download mode. I can only get in via cwm. I generally cannot get in with the 3 key method. And I van never get in,from the enhanced shutdown menu. It just reboots.
Sometimes when I try to boot I get stuck for a bit on the battery charging graphic, except it sgows an empty battery (when it isnt).
Sometimes ro get it to boot I,have to plug in usb power even if battery charged.
Finally when device is off and I plug it in to charge, it boots up.

*** UPDATE ***
For no reason I can fathom, all of a sudden my PC sees my Captivate. the ONLY thing I did was using TITANIUM I did a re-backup of all my apps. It did something but I dont know what.
lol happen to reboot your computer in between then?
Btw.. there are a TON of posts (including the Q&A sticky) that shows you alternatives on how to get into DL mode on your phone.
The search button is your friend - all you have to do is look for "bricked"
Actually I didnt reboot...
and guess what, after an hour of seeing my captivate, I went into DL mode to run Odin FINALLY and all of a sudden it stopped recognizing the captivate. once again USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED!!!
my issue isnt getitng ito DL mode, its getitng the PC to recognize my device.
anyone???
Sorry man, I am at a loss as to why your computer just up and stops recognizing the connection. I would back up your internal sd to your computer when you are/if able to get it to connect again and get a new one because something has to be defective with the phone.
Edit: You never answered one posters question about a different cable. Do you have one to try? Is the cable you are using the OEM Samsung?

All gone wrong.

Something really gone wrong for me here and have a feeling I have a brick.
1. Flashed ROCKET ROM-V19-XXLA4 from external sd using CWM.
2. Flash was confirmed rebooted.
3. Got Bootloop (Rocket Logo)
4. Could boot into download mode but PC not seeing device.
5. Removed battery for over 1 min.
6. Still no difference, the device just cant be seen. Even after reinstalling the drivers. via Kies trouble shooting.
Anyone have any ideas??

I had the same problem today, but it worked when i did this:
- Volume down + Home + Power
- Do not press continue yet
- Open Odin
- Connect it to the computer
- Choose Continue on the Note
Now the computer should install two new drivers (modem and another one), and then the phone will pop up on the computer.
Odin is seeing :- 0:[COM4]
Thanks so much really thought I'd bricked it. Forgot all about Odin A Beer and a thanks to you both.
Just a note, not sure what went wrong but I had to flash a full stock ROM including the Modem, Code and Multi to get it working again.

[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

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???

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.

[Q] xperia sp stuck on boot animation after restarting again and again

hi i am new here. yesterday i flashed existenz 2.0 rom on sony xperia sp. All went right. then i flashed boot animation on it . then i restarted but it stucks on animation. now nothing is happening i have tried charging it but i think it doesnot do charging in switch off mode, so it starts again and does some charging then on animation it stucks and charging stopps and then after some time it drains the battery and gets swiched off. Then again this process continues. it is not going into recovery mode, flash mode , fastboot mode.
so if you can help me in this situation. pleeassssse
Sounds like a pretty bad bootloop does your PC recognise anything when you connect it? You need to go back to stock or at least to a working ROM. The long and short of it is to fix it you are going to need adb, recovery (if you have a nandroid backup) or flash mode. If you can't get any of them I think its bricked

Any idea how much charge is in the phone? I think you will have to keep trying to get into fastboot or recovery try power and then vol up/down or camera depending on what your recovery is I can send you a full nandroid backup of stock if you need one. You need to break into the boot cycle get into recovery (i am assuming you have installed a recovery on this device) timing will probably have a lot to do with it.
Programming is a race between engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.
make sure to use the stock sony usb cable as i think flashmode doesnt work well with other usb cables. also try the other usb ports on your computer. technically,you should still be able to enter flashmode and recovery.
no idea about charge?

Note 4 Dead after Update won't power on

I recently did the latest update to my T-mobile Note 4 upon updating the phone, the phone was in a constant boot loop and finally installed the update to the device. Upon installing the new software update to the phone it began the reboot loop and eventually started up I received one text message and it began to loop again and now it will not turn on. None of the button combinations will turn the phone on it is not accepting a charge either. I put the battery in another note 4 and it works fine and shows 79 percent of the battery is charged. What can be done to get the phone to wake up out of it's current state most of the pictures were salvaged with drop box, but it did not update from a family funeral yesterday with several pictures and those are important. Has anyone had this issue before and what was done to fix it?

A few questions I would ask to be able to help would be:
Which baseband/bootloader/version were you on and which upgrade was your Note IV attempting to install?
Are you rooted or stock?
When you say that it bootlooped a bunch and then "finally installed the update", was that with no user interaction at all? seems odd to me for a bootloop to repeat and then randomly work.
If I were you and after pulling battery for 30 seconds doesnt work and holding down home+power+volume up, then try plugging it into a USB port on your computer and see if it recognizes it. Make sure your PC has latest samsung usb drivers.

All stock the last update performed was for that security hole android had on the android 5.1.1. What I mean is that during the install the phone kept restarting and restarting and then it installed the updates and went to the home screen. When it reached the home screen it showed me one text and I went on charging the phone thinking it was normal woke up this morning the phone was off yet the battery still has 79 percent when placed in another note 4 phone. I tried plugging into the pc the phone isn't recognized because it does not turned on it says unrecognizable usb device and I installed the latest samsung drivers as well I've tried those button combinations as well as pulling the battery. I'm wondering if the update corrupted something prohibiting it from booting it doesn't take a charge either when connected to the wall it's almost like the phone is in a stale state.

I haven't tried kies I tried smart switch though and the phone wasn't detected I'll try kies as well. I'll be back with an update appreciate the help.
Kies didn't work because the phone can't be recognize by the program the computer makes a noise knowing when the phone is connected but the screen on phone doesn't turn on I can't even get it to boot up or accept a charge and the battery is nearly full given that I put it in another phone to check. I've tried even starting the phone up with no battery using direct charger as primary source but it didn't work. I'm not sure how the update fried my phone, but I'm going to be losing some important pics drop box didn't sync yesterday during a family funeral.
That is just really ****ty luck. They say there is always a small chance that flashing anything can cause epic partition disasters. If kies is detecting it but saying it's unable to connect then I'd say the phone is toast. You might be able to get Odin to recognize it and reflash the entire ROM, but that would obviously destroy any data you had on the device previously. Might look into doing an adb pull or backup but being realistic with expectations, I'd say the chances of them working considering what you've done is minimal.
Since you're on stock anyways I'd just go warranty exchange it if you can. Not worth dicking around with Odin if you are stock.
Sorry I couldn't be more help but I would take this opportunity to seriously get yourself a cloud based automatic backup so you don't have to worry about these things anymore. I had something similar happen to me and I lost all my data and now it all syncs to my ex_sdcard and Dropbox haha..can never be too sure

The last time I flashed software using odin I didn't lose any of my information it stayed on the internal memory and was there still. It truly is sad they roll out an update over air and it bricks your phone makes no sense.

A few questions I would ask to be able to help would be:
Which baseband/bootloader/version were you on and which upgrade was your Note IV attempting to install?
Are you rooted or stock?
When you say that it bootlooped a bunch and then "finally installed the update", was that with no user interaction at all? seems odd to me for a bootloop to repeat and then randomly work.
If I were you and after pulling battery for 30 seconds doesnt work and holding down home+power+volume up, then try plugging it into a USB port on your computer and see if it recognizes it. Make sure your PC has latest samsung usb drivers.

I have gotten the phone to turn on randomly it turned on and is now regularly turning on however it is still in a bootloop will not allow me to enter recovery I can enter custom OS have tried to root but it flashes and does not stick with phone for the custom recovery I'm not sure what I can do now that the phone turns on any suggestions?
When trying to root or enter recovery I get recovery is not Seandroid enforcing set warranty bit recovery and boot loop
Have you tried connecting it to kies again to see if it will repair the corrupted flash? If not, Google your bootloader and Odin flash the full stock firmware

I have a t-mobile 910T note 4. I will try kies again not sure what my bootloader is or was I'm just trying to do what ever i can to preserve the data on phone will flashing stock again delete the internal I know with root with my other note 4 it didn't. This phone was never rooted the over the air update boot looped the phone
I would definitely try using kies or even adb from command to see if you can pull the data from it. Flashing a full firmware will wipe all data Yeah so I'd use that as a last resort

On this forum I have found just the bootloader available to down load if I download the full rom is it going to wipe the internal memory here is the link I'm referring to http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/development/mirror-stock-tw-t3260858
I think I might have it figured out just need clarity on if flashing just the bootloader will do the trick I also got a set warranty kernel on boot last time as well.
If it were me I'd install the following:
Twrp custom recovery : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347792887
Make sure you have latest drivers from Samsung. Flash twrp and see if you can boot into recovery and then either wipe cache or flash a bootloader zip from there. At the very least you could pull files from it once in recovery

If that doesn't work then I'd read this guide on adb setup and commands. It seems daunting at first but incredibly useful

Sorry I'm a bit short on explanation I'm just short on time. If you need anything more specific in terms of clarification don't hesitate to ask.

I would visit your local tmobile store and have them look at it. Besides smartswitch they have a program they can run and possibly restore your phone before it gets totally borked up.
This could help justify rma with Samsung.

My phone was dead. I used the original note 4 cable and it worked like a charme was able to odin to stock (new firmware) and root. I dont see any way out other than loosing all data

This is what I see when I flash the root or recovery every single time. I know if I can get the recovery on the phone I can get the pictures on to my pc because I had a phone that was android locked that I did myself and rooted recovery and was able to get the pc to see and transfer files to pc so why is it showing this image am I doing something wrong?

They don't have that machine any more I use to work at t mobile that machine was a joke by the way I'll be able to get a replacement it's the funeral pictured that are most important to me they didn't sync to drop box for some reason and that's my main reason for trying to get the phone working. I've flashed everything I've been told to flash I still get the boot loop and the stupid se android reinforcing set recovery or set kernel etc currently it's recovery if I try to initiate recovery via the buttons it just boot loops
