For no apparent reason my phone decided to kill itself yesterday. Phone will not boot and not stay in download mode long enough to flash the kdz file. Nor will it stay in TWRP recovery mode long enough to flash another rom or restore nandroid backup. it will just go to black screen of death after about 5 seconds.
I don't care if I cant recover my phone to a working state I just want to get the pictures I took on my family vacation I just came back from before my phone died. any suggestions? TIA!
my phone was on xtreme rom (if that helps) thanks again!
Did you get it going? I'm having a similar problem on stock rooted. Haven't flashed in months, phone just died while playing music.
My only idea is to check if the photos saved on your sd card (if you have one). Check the seriel number on the box your g4 came in. If the first three numbers are 505 then its possible that your motherboard is no good.
The 505 stands for the manufactured date.
5=month
05=day

Ok so if the answer to this question is already on this forum I searched for a hour and if you could drop me a link that would be great. Last night I flash v10k onto my LG thrill with no hiccups. The only problem is I want to go back to V20p because it changed to a O3D and all I can get is 2g edge service. So this morning I attempted to flash V20p and everything was kosher until it said there was a connection error. "Disconnect phone remove battery..." So i figured I needed to get the phone back into download mode in order to continue. The phone isnt bricked, however, I cant seem to get it back into Download mode to try again. Ive tried everything (that I can think of). Restarted my computer wipe all my phones data... My end goal is to have either v10e or the v20p. So I'm open to any routes to this end. I've read about doing a nandroid backup but all the links are dead. I've already decided I'm going to get the Galaxy Nexus and sell this phone if I can ever get it back to stock or semi stock. This is the second time I've had this connection error the first time it was during the update to GB and that time it bricked it. At the time I thought it was a faulty data cable, however, this time I was using a gold plated gigawire and it still did it... This coupled with the ghost call issue almost costing me my job(the reason for trying to go back to froyo) My experience has been buggy to say the least. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.

So you want V20P or V10E?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II w/ DUAL BOOT: AOKP / MIUI
I really want V10e if its possible but If not then V20p will work.
I am having similar problems when I try as well. I have tried 5 or six times but tells me something about the b2c not loaded or a connection to the internet. Every time I hit "normal web upgrade test" it throws up a pop up and wont let me proceed any further. It has worked for me twice before, I got the no connection pop up and ignored it, but its not working this time. I set everything up the same from instructions on Acidhazzard rom web site. Please help...
I had to change the port back to 80 and put the orig host file back in the ect file just to download the bc2app then change it all back it worked the first time when i flashed v10k... idk i would delete the lg drivers and everything then start from scratch if i could boot into download mode.

I have been starting...
From scratch. I download the LG flash package and go from there. It does it every time I try. The times I got it to work, I would just hit cancel or OK on the pop up and then hit the OK button I was wanting to hit real fast before the pop up could come back up. I thought it may be a Windows 7 issue (cause I have seen people talk about it) and tried win xp yesterday. Same things happened.
Im running Xp and Im having the same exact thing happen. I got it into download mode finally idk what was going on but now I just keep getting the communications error Ive tried the whole process (each one is like 5 errors) like 3 times now. If it keeps popping up before the update even starts then your probably need to change your small server port from 80 to 9002.
fixed
Somehow after getting the com error 100 times with the flash tool I noticed it had changed my model number back to P925 (I don't know how it did this) I then decided to chance it (after I changed the host file back and changed the port back to 80 and closed the small http server) I went through the LG support tool and clicked start update. After about 20 min of uncertainty during the update and another 5 minutes of self-loathing after getting a bootloop on the at&t screen... I did a hard reset and cleared all data and wah-la... I got it back to V20p. But the flash tool wouldn't flash the v20p for me.. So if I didnt somehow get rid of the P920 model number and back to the P925 model number I don't think it would have worked the way it did.
So here's my problem. I think I've bricked my device. Don't know if it's softbrick or hardbrick, but either way my phone just does not boot up. The only instance it works is when I remove the battery and try to charge the phone, it shows a picture that it didn't find a battery. All of this occurred while trying to unlock the bootloader. Something similar already happened to me like a month or two ago, but I was able to flash stock KDZ using the online LG Support Tool. Anyway, the part where it all messed up is probably the aboot.bin file, although I'm quite certain I flashed the right file for my device. Also, installed CWM recovery, and after restarting the device it just won't boot at all, not even the software upgrade mode or anything. So my guess is that something is wrong because of either a wrong aboot.bin file for my D405N or the custom recovery. I tried flashing stock KDZ, but I couldn't get my phone into software upgrade mode. Also, tried doing a hard reset, but an LG logo didn't even come up. The battery is at least half full. So is there anything I can actually do in this case? Any help is appreciated.
P.S. Yeah, I did post in another thread (though I didn't create it), but I'm quite desperate with this. Either I fix it myself somehow, or I'll have to take it to the warranty.
EDIT: Took it to a repair. Should be done in around a week. Got an old Samsung Galaxy Mini as a replacement.

Remember Next time Unlock Bootloader before Installing CWM.
I have an AT&T Note 3. I was rooted using the KINGO app, but returned my phone to stock several weeks ago and the rom shows official and the knox count is 0. I am running the stock AT&T Note 3 Android 4.3
The other day, an official AT&T android update was pushed to my phone. The update bricked my phone and now I am unsure if I can even recover what was on my phone...or at the very least get it running again. For now, I am without a phone.
When I can get the phone to power up, the phone attempts to "Recovery Booting" (this is displayed in blue letters in the top left corner with the galaxy Note 3 Logo in the middle). It tries to install this AT&T update following the recovery wording when powering it on normally and when using Volume UP/Home/Power . The update progresses towards 100% then "completes" sometimes, but then the screen goes black and the phone does not start back up. I have to remove the battery for a period of time and replace to get the phone to do anything
I can get the phone to go into download mode (Volume down/Home/power), but my phone did not have USB debugging turned on the last time I was able to access the options, so it is not recognized by kies/odin, etc!
Even though their update caused the problem, AT&T wont help me (over the phone or at the store) as my phone is over a year old...their solution is to buy a new phone and plan as they say they can't do anything to fix the phone.
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Can you get into recovery?..if so try to factory reset then maby you will be able to power up get to developer options and turn on debug so you can use odin...other option..I have heard of some doing this..go to Bestbuy Samsung counter..ask them if they have the odin tool. If they do they may be able to get you up and running.

Don't worry bro.
Just follow this post to put your phone back to stock and get it rooted again. My phone used to brick and I went through it.
Follow the steps carefully, and you'll get your phone back.

(While I was in a rooted DOK2 FW - Tmobile SM-910T3)
So heres the deal, trying to walk around I wanted to mock my location but was interrupted and placed my phone in my pocket which "locked" the bootload.
I managed to flash the stock image and unlocked the bootloader loaded TWRP and restored from my backup
Now this is where hell starts. It looked fine until I rebooted my phone.
Symptoms:
On a reboot the phone will not turn back on after I opt to reboot my phone
At this time the phone will not turn back on (i noticed this when i rebooted while plugged in the charging light was not on) I pull the battery for a few minutes to turn it back on
When I power the device back on sometimes it is stuck in the Bootloader Screen (unable to get into recovery and download) so I need to pull battery wait and turn back on
When the device does boot I can get into recovery and download mode on when it boots properly
Sometimes its stuck on the tmobile screen and I need to reboot it.
When the phone is operational it will occasionally lock up and I will need to wait a few minutes before the device is able to respond.
Any ideas what I can do? I had thought flashing a stock rom (from sammobile) would fix the boot issues
As of now:
I've recently flashed to the new Tmobile marshmallow stock via odin. I am still seeing these symptons. I'm currently installing the Maximum Overdrive Rom hoping it will fix some issues
Still seeing some of the same issues. Stock romantic and a deflated romantic did nothing. Is there a way to reflash a bootloader?
I'm having the same issues....I have odined back to stock dok2 twice....I think the pe3 bootloader files are floating around the forums somewhere...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67514260&postcount=4
When my N4 boots up I occasionally get the emmc boot error...I brought it to tmobile and explained the issue to the rep. She brushed it off as being my battery. I know its not my battery as its a 3 month old 10000mah zerolemon. So I'm going to just limp this phone along until its time to jump to the Note 7. I've been flashing roms since the golden era of windows mobile/palm os days and on android since my G1...And some rookie rep who doesn't even know how to put a phone in recovery or download mode tries to brush it off as the battery.... My girl has the sprint note 4 and hers did the same thing, she took it to a store the rep ended up giving her a fully functional refurb... (which is the right thing to do if the phone has emmc failures) Anyways I hope you have better luck than I've had
i had the exact same issue as you guys started 2 months ago got worse overtime now my emmc is dead it wont write anything or even go into recovery or download i had tried all types of roms stock firmwares even took the phone apart swapped the power button and bought a new battery now my memory is dead and i can actually say its the emmc chip, seems to me these note 4s are starting to die i bought mine when it first came out in 2014 kind of feel ripped off but best phone i ever had imo
I got an unlocked note 4 last week and have been fighting tooth and nail to restore it to stock while waiting for batterys to get here for it.
What I know about it. Previoius owner put TWRP on it and flashed it with Resurrection Remix ROM.
I want to return to stock because I cant get my Gear Fit 2 to work with this rom.
All info I can find on the phone points to:
N910TUVU2EQI2
Trying to load a stock rom it with ODIN gets me to the tmobile boot screen and nothing, will sit there for 40+ mins until the battery dies. Smart switch says it isnt compatible with the phone keis wont connect(in download mode)
I can put TWRP and RR back on it with no troubles
Omg. I left it plugged in when we left 10 hours ago, got home posted and went to check it. Was on the setup screen. Guess it needed a few hours to figure things out? Mods you can delete this or leave it for laughs
