Hello all!
last month i had a strange death zones on my screen, so I decided to send my phone to get it repaied, but first I needed restock.
I had CM11, CWM, unlocked BL.
First, I used "all in one [p880]" to restock recovery and lock it (option 7 and 5)
Second, I wanted to flash system by s/w and relock BL.
and now I'm stuck without system becouse s/w fails allways. sometimes it dosen't start, sometimes it starts by "start upgrade". If I press normal web upgrade test and get info, it or freezes (need to restart program) or says, there is no device. I tried reinstalling drivers, tried flashtool, that fails on 17th second, and leaves no log only thing in log is result failed.
now, i can't run system, even stock recovery, only "s/w upgrade" and notice, that BL is unlocked... is my phone empty?
anyone have idea how to force it to flash? i need a phone, it was only I had...

Hey all,
I have a problem with my lg p990. At this time, I am trying to figure it out whether is a software or hardware problem. I have searched each and every forum to over come this problem but went in vain.
problem:
1) lg p990 shows lg logo and goes blank.
2) when vol down and power is pressed the phone goes to s/w upgrade screen.
steps I tried:
1) I have used smart flash to flash my phone to stock ROM.
a) downloaded the stock ROM and flashed with smart flash. The smart flash says process complete successfully and the phone restarts and shows lg logo and goes blank.
b) I tried to flash different stock ROM with the smart flash but same result.
2) I tried using the lg update tool (offline procedure since lg blocked it).
The lg update tool successfully completes the update procedure and tells
the phone will restart. The phone goes to restart and the phone shows lg logo and goes blank again.
3) Last but not least, I tried to download the custom ROM.
a) I downloaded the ClockWorkMod recovery by using nvflash
b) after successfully download recovery image, wipe cache/factory reset/wipe cache partition/wipe dalvik cache.
c) copied ROM in the root of the internal sdcard (connect the phone-->mount it-->copied the ROM and Kernel--> installed the package--> says installation complete-->reboot phone--> the phone does not get pass through lg logo and stays blank. I have waited for 30 minutes but no luck.
I don't know what else to do. After I tried all the steps, the phone just powers on and shows the lg logo and goes blank but the menu,home,search button still lights up. I also resetted the phone but still same problem persists....
Any help would be greatly appreciated otherwise I have a paper weight worth $350.00
I had the same problem as you face here.
I tried everything NV-flash, smartflash, you name it, no luck. Then I did a emergency repair in the LG updater.
Start the Updater, select "emergency repair", make sure drivers are installed.
Battery out, press Volume Down and connect.
Enter IMEI and S/N and repair program starts.
I had to do it twice, before it finished. I maybe had a bad USB connection or cable, but after "S/W update" showed up in screen on second attempt, I reinserted battery and it went very smooth.
Let it boot.
And then root with NV-flash and you are back in business with normal GB partition table.
I can recommend Tonyp's CWM 6.0.1.5 touch for NV-flash, when you have finished rooting.
It took me 45 minutes, with a not too good internet connection.
PS.: I did not try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1715272
but since I could not call up NV-flash, I did not want to spend even more time trying.

Exact same issue here...
You found a solution yet ?
My lg stuck on logo.I use this http://www.modaco.com/topic/335474-25-mar-nvflash-stock-rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15032011/
and i use this for clean stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264289.
I just got and m8 from Cl, it was cheap and I was told the phone had a software issues so I took the plunge.
The phone seems normal, its pack o apps and you can play with it, then I decided to do a factory restore, but it failed (after the reboot it goes to a error screen showing a phone with and exclamation mark)
I tried the same from hboot, same result..
Tried to unlock bootloader, it appears to work but after boot the phone I still the same (loked and with all the user info intact )
Tried to erase the user accounts, it works, I can do a new setup of the Google account, but after restart the phone goes back to the initial state (user accounts are back)
I am not sure what's going on, but it looks like if the memory was protected and after every reboot it goes back to the original state.
Any suggestions of what to do? I am starting to see of there is any way to get warranty thru htc,
Thanks in advance.
The phone is in 4.4.2, can't take updated (it reboots itself on the process)
The phone with the exclamation point indicates the stock Android system recovery is installed. You could try and install TWRP recovery, at which time you could install a custom ROM. My only other thought is to run the RUU for the latest system update. If that doesn't straighten out your issues, something else is going on. Hit the link below and follow the instructions for the manual system update. This is the non-HK RUU. If you need the RUU for the HK version I can post it, also.

Thanks, I tried to install twrp but it fails, the bootloader is still locked and won't unlock, is there a way to install twrp without unlocking bootloader?
Will give it a try with the RUU, when tried to update thru fastboot it fails, it starts to do all the file checks and it just send you to the "press the power button message" , but no update was perform.
You might give this a try to get your bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed. There is no way around it. You have to unlock the bootloader first before you install TWRP.

Thanks a lot for the help, nothing has work so far, the phone keeps having random reboots and every time it comes back its like it load an old backup, havent been able to do a firmwware upgrade (from android over wifi, fastboot, or windowsPC).
Is there an utility to test hardware? (possibly memory)
thanks
At the end I contacted HTC support and after some test I was told my phone was still under warranty and I got and RMA (great service)....
Thanks a lot for the help...
Good evening, everyone.
Few hours ago, my N6 randomly shut down and not booting up to the system. I tried to re-install the factory image for 5.0.1 but I got stuck at bootloader screen. I tried every options available from bootloader screen(Start, Recovery mode, Restart bootloader etc.) but it performed nothing but coming back to the bootloader screen. When I tried to use 'Nexus Root Toolkit' to install new system and whenever the process was trying to initiate the process, it is giving me same error message 'FAILED <remote failure>'
What can I do from here?
I appreciate your attention.

If your bootloader is unlocked, you should be able to either flash the stock factory image, or re-flash each partition separately through the tool-kit. Since you're getting remote errors with the toolkit, double check that you have the right drivers installed, the tookit and a search on the forum should help with that.
did you already try :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/guide-flash-factory-images-nexus-6shamu-t2954008
Don't want to raise any alarms already but I shut mine down on Sunday night (Unlocked/ Rooted/ custom kernel & rom) in order to boot in Recovery and flash a new kernel version and:
1) The sdcard looked empty, it read ~ 26 GB free (I had no more than 20 gb free before reboot) and no folders whatsoever.
2) The phone was stuck at the Google logo heating up but going nowhere.
As I said don't want to start assuming things but the phone randomly going "nuts" and losing all data is scary... I had to spent my entire day yesterday flashing stock 5.0.1 back and re-setting up everything. I followed the guide posted above (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/guide-flash-factory-images-nexus-6shamu-t2954008 oh, go with Method 2 and it will work fine).
Out of curiosity how does your SD look like from recovery? Oh, but then you say you can't even boot to Recovery. Which recovery do you have? (I had/have TWRP 2.8.3.1 ). Anyway to repair it you only need to be able to boot into Bootloader properly I guess.
Hi Guys,
I was trying to update my Z1(C903) to Lollipop, but weirdly I wasn't able to boot into my recovery to install the pre-rooted rom. Every time i tried to enter into recovery, the phone would just vibrate and then proceed to boot the OS(I have dual recovery installed). I tried to reinstall the recovery but to no avail so I tried to flash stock FTF (14.4.A.0.157) but the process was struck at "flashing data" for a long time and I idiotically unplugged the phone after couple of hours!! And now my phone boots and i see the sony logo and next screen says "Software update failed. Connect your phone to computer and try again" And I'm unable to flash any FTF and the process still gets stuck at "flashing data".
Help me out guys as I badly need my phone for work!! Thank you!

you definitely can't enter recovery now, cause that partition would have been wiped now. try flashing again.
Hi !
Mi cellphone worked well for one month and yesterday began restarting by itself, I tought It was a problem with the button ON; but today it gets worst, the phone doesn't restart to the menu home, it just keeps turning on in "Bison" and then it turns off, and again "bison" and turns off, here a link
I can't use the recovery mode because the times i reached it the phone turns off; there's a mode to block phone's turning off? maybe using some buttons?
Please I beg you, help.
i have got the same problem with my bison also ,on one month it was work properly bt nw restart it self every 4 seconds
can you give more information? Did you unlock the bootloader? Did you install another OS? Did you use Magisk?
Or was it a stock image with locked bootloader? And failed on its own? Its possible there was an OTA update but I cant tell with the info you supplied.
Hi, I just update the software from the provider (i think is a OTA update, a normal update).... and then the problem appears, it takes a few of days to show the bootloop; i dont do anything else.
Now im triying to flashing the rom but it's SO ****ing difficult, because the phone restarts always, but not completely.
I tried to use the default recovery mode, but the phone restarts...
I was thinking about some file to block the bootloop while flashing? it that possible?
Using the flash i just do download, and to finish the process it left just 3 files: supersu, cache and userdata, but it restaaaaarts :C ... i tried the option "upgrade firmware" but formating stops at 88% XD
I was thinking about a full format, it could be worse, no?

YES, after that loop of boot problem,it came in normal after flash by SP flash(firmware upgrage),, then problem arose again,flash secondly by SP flash(formart all and download),this time it start normal but with another problem(TEE and google unwriten key,lost of IMEIs),i decide unlock bootloader and root it by magisk (follows umidigi comunity tutorial)bt all fail,it remain loop of booting it take more than 1mins show bison last log before start and shotdown again,,,off botton respond very slow on power on.
My Bison had this same infinite boot loop problem and I found out that the problem is in the short-circuited power switch. You have to open it and disconnect the flat from the side buttons to test
