Hi,
I was using my LG G2, on the phone with my wife. After the call, I saw it say Powering Down.
That was it, no more phone. Everytime I boot it goes into recovery mode, if I try the hard reset buttons on the back, it goes through the motions, then when I boot, it goes straight to recovery.
if I try a factory reset in TWRP, nothing happens again, just it deletes all the data & goes back to recovery.
If I try to go into download mode, I dont get download mode, it goes right into recovery.
Is there anything I can do with this?
Thanks,
Rich
Sounds like the OTA update got downloaded and installed. I've accidentally done that twice since December. Try this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696

I can't turn on the donwload mode, reboot to system, even flash something.
Any ideas?
you have to fix bootloader,maybe you must use JTAG box for it.good luck
Problem solved
OK. I "magically" rebooted to download mode and flashed cwm via odin.
In the morning I was hurrying and didn't write everything here. The recovery was working, the theme was for bigger resolution and I've just seen part of the screen. Before I chose in ROM Manager to reboot to twrp so everytime it booted, it was the twrp. I took out the battery, then put it again, turned the phone on and hold the combination of buttons to get to dwnld mode. I hold it and hold and after 3 reboots I've seen the dwnld mode screen. I was never so happy

I hope you learned a lesson here today. You cant just flash sh*t to your phone.
The "soft brick" is maybe my new tradition. Earlier I had SE X10MP and I've also softbricked it. That was my 1. Android phone and I didn't know how to fix it. After some time I knew much more about Android and my device. Then I noticed that I could fix it myself. In service they just reflashed the soft. That was everything xd
I am trying to get back to Stock Recovery need to warranty out my phone for a hardware issue. I have tried many methods listed in different searches and nothing works.
I used Flashify to drop TWRP recovery on my phone and it works great, but when I went to restore my Stock Recovery, it reboots and with no recovery? I get the recovery cover page "Factory hard reset" after pressing the Power key twice, I get a blank screen and have to do a hard shutdown. Factory Recovery doesn't seem to install. I can reboot and re-install TWRP Recovery and it works fine, just can't get back to "Stock Recovery".
Ideas or directions would be very helpful.
Thanks.

You can easily get back to 100% stock with stock recovery to make Verizon happy.
Search this xda thread for VS98027A_05.kdz and put it on your phone with LG Flash Tool 2014.
Just follow the recipe exactly and it will work first time.
Hello,
Today, while I was using my phone, it restarted itself and has been stuck at a boot loop almost entirely since then. It has successfully booted up 2-3 times but will usually restart itself within 30-45 seconds of booting and then will be stuck in a boot loop again. When it has started up its usually after it has been bootlooping for a while. I'm rooted and using xTreme Rom v2.0. I have had occasional random reboots here and there before but the phone always booted right up again without any issues. I haven't done anything with root/recovery since early September.
I've tried doing a factory hard reset without any luck. My phone booted up after I tried the hard reset and it was like the reset didn't happen. I can't boot into TWRP. I can boot into download mode and I tried to reset using kdz. It got to 100% but the the phone restarts and is back in the boot loop (then the lg flash tool gets an error and force quits). I've tried removing my sd and sim cards, I've tried swapping to a different battery, I've tried leaving the battyer out and letting the phone cool down. Nothing is working. I have noticed that when the phone is going to boot up correctly the full LG animation plays. When the phone is going to boot loop I only get a static LG Powered by android image.
Any suggestions?
Since I tried to rest using kdz I can't get past the boot loop...Device also isn't recognized when using adb
edit: It booted up once this morning and went to the initial set up screen, like the kdz worked. But about 30 seconds-a minute later the phone locked up, rebooted and has been stuck in a boot loop since.
That's weird..
So the KDZ goes through all the way successfully.
Phone does the update all apps etc.. and it still boot loops after a while?
Which ROM version are you updating it back to?
My phone just did the exact same thing. I'm also on the Extreme Rom. Everything you described is my experience too. When I use the LG tool it goes all the way through and reboots the phone but just keeps bootlooping. Did you find a fix? I've tried everything i can think of. Probably going to take it in tomorrow and get warranty on it.

I used the following method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848
Download the correct KDZ file to flash back to and follow the rest of the instructions. You can also look at this video tutorial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXO2SHqBiNk
The one you'll want to try is "Normal Flash"
"CSE Flash" is a full wipe that deletes all data.
Mine was weird where it told me my phone disconnected, but the progress bar was still continuing. If that happens to you, don't hit cancel, let the progress bar finish to 100%
Hey guys
Samsung Galaxy Mini 5570 is a pretty old device now and definitely not worth to talk about, but It's for my aunt and she said i HAVE to fix it otherwise she will kick my butt.
This is the whole story:
Phone was running a very low android version (it was 2.1 or something) that i could barely install apps on it (Just installed WhatsApp), I decided to upgrade it to a higher version so i could install other applications like Line and Telegram for her, so basically i had to flash CWM file first because it was required, I flashed it using this link:
http://www.droidthunder.com/root-install-clockworkmod-cwm-recovery-samsung-galaxy-minipop-gt-s5570/
They said flash the cwm file and factory reset your phone but i flashed the cwm file and rebooted my phone without factory reset, everything was working fine :good: but i decided to follow the instruction so i rebooted into the recovery mode and factory reseted my phone (by my phone i mean her phone, but i'm gonna say my phone instead) and guess what, it never booted up again. stuck on Samsung logo.
But i could go into the download and recovery mode, so basically i followed this instruction:
http://www.droidthunder.com/update-samsung-galaxy-minipop-gt-s5570-android-4-2-1-cyanogenmod-10-1/
which is from the same guy, I flashed it using recovery mode and flashed gapps too, everything went normal without any errors. So i rebooted my phone and ............
a black screen poped up, I was really worried because i couldn't boot my phone, nor could i go into the recovery or download mode. I don't know if i could or not but the only thing I'm getting right now is a black screen or a backlight.
The only thing that seems to be working is when i hold Power+Volume UP button, my laptop can detect my phone (as Samsung CDMA Technologies) but can not flash anything using Odin, it stucks on "setup connection" message. Nothing else is working, I tried:
Home+power+volume down
Home+power+volume down+volume up
Power+volume down
Power+home
etc
I also tried a hundred different ways like completely uninstalling the drivers (with or without kies) pulling battery out, try those key combination while battery is out and reinsert battery while holding them but nothing is working.
I found this article yesterday which is for unbricking the hard bricked phones, but ADB can not detect my phone:
http://www.engineerthink.com/blog/2015/11/how-to-unbrick-hard-bricked-android-phone/
Please help me guys, And do not suggest me to take it in Customer Service because i would if i could.
Thanks in advance
Hello there,
I've just found my old GT-S5300 from back in the day, and I tried turning it on to eventually use it again.
The issue is that when turning on, I get the usual "Welcome to GT-S5300" screen, and it tells me to "Touch the Android to begin"; when trying to do so, my phone doesn't let me go to the next screen to connect to Google and all the miscellaneous steps that come later. The touch screen does react, I can change the language/type a number in emergency call, the Android flashes when I touch it but it doesn't let me go to the next step.
I have tried factory resetting/wiping cache & data but nothing does it, I keep getting stuck on the same screen.
I even tried flashing a custom ROM and the stock ROM, but it seems my phone can't read the SD card I insert in it, I don't know why (32GB, works on other devices).
I have CWM Recovery installed so whenever I go to Recovery mode I have the CWM Recovery menu which appears.
Before burying it in my closet, my phone was indeed rooted.
Do you have any idea if there is a way to use this phone again? Thank you!
