soft bricked and screwed over - LG Optimus L90

for reference I am using windows 10 home x64
I saw quarx had a cm13 build for the l90 so i downloaded it, flashed it and whatnot. it didn't detect the sim card... okay no problem, i'll just reboot to recovery and reflash cm12.1. I was wrong, it wiped out twrp and installed the stock recovery. Not a single driver I try works, fastboot just loves toying with me. no matter what command i do, (unless it doesn't affect the device) fails with
"Failed (remote: unknown command)"
I zeroed out my laf to enable fastboot, but cant fix that without fastboot accepting commands.
And to top it all off, the phone no longer boots to anything but fastboot... Reeeeal [email protected]#ing convenient
please help..

What L90 model (variant)?
Download mode isn't available either? If you can't enter download mode, I think there are some commands for d405 and/or d415 that allows you to load fastboot img locally using adb. Or you can try the hardbrick unbrick tutorial (needs disassembling the phone).

Same boat
Hey, I am in the exact same boat.
Phone: LG D405n
OS: CM12.1
I had CM12.1 installed, TWRP Recovery, and V20a unlocked bootloader .
I installed Xposed and now Cyanogenmod just is stuck in a boot loop and cant get to recovery either.
I cant even flash the original software since my PC gets a blue screen as I install the LG Driver. Error is lgnetandmodem.sys or something.
If I uninstall the driver the phone can connect to the PC but then LGMobileSupport Tool doesnt detect it.
What on earth do I do?!

Re-installing the latest drivers should fix the BSD on Windows, or you can try flashing kdz using another operational system or computer.

@LaDY Vengeance

Just a heads-up. Upon attempting to fix with the softbrick tutorial I found, my device refused to accept any kind of commands. I gave up. Others may be in different circumstances and may be able to fix it using said tutorial

Phone is essentially bricked

Okay, I have the HTC One for Sprint. I flashed it using TWRP 2.5 and I can only currently access the bootloader.
I accidentally wiped everything off my phone and when I plug it in my computer sometimes recognizes it has HTCONE or as Android Device, either way I cannot send files over using adb sideload. Gives me the error that there is no device.
Currently my device somehow also got "unrooted" in the process. I am looking at the phone not being able to transfer any roms I want over to install a new OS nor can I restore it to the old OS.
Is there anything I can do?
PS: I did install the drivers and other devices. If someone can please help me even over teamviewer it would absolutely make my day. I have been troubleshooting this device for about 30 hours straight now.
Since you can access bootloader, you'll probably be ok..
What happens when you try to access recovery?
what happens in "fastboot usb" in your bootloader when you command
Code:
fastboot devices
If your device shows just do
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
Download one of these recoveries (since you have the Sprint version) <- this will get you into recovery if you're not already able to access it..

Well I have the recovery since thats the only one I can access. Thing is though neither of my computers can recognize the device and I cannot send the rom necessary to boot the OS.
I can access the Bootloader and I can access the Recovery. I cannot access the memory on the phone in order to send files over
Have you tried flashing the RUU? Hopefully this can help:

important part is getting the phone working again then worry about unlocking bootloader
Can always try flashing a custom ROM using an OTG cable if you've wiped the OS. I always wipe my storage and OS when I do a clean install and then flash the ROM straight from my flash drive ... Obviously you'll need to fastboot a custom recovery, if you are able to.

im going to try the method you linked me
When you're in recovery do adb devices. If it shows your phone you can sideload a ROM.
AT&T HTC One
GPe 4.3
hi bro, that happened to me as well, i have installed usb driver but adb cannot detect my device. I was running windows 8 that time but when i used windows 7 adb was able to detect my device with no issues and i was able to transfer custom rom zip file to it. I dont know if that could help you but i'm just sharing my experience.

I can access the bootloader and the recovery (switched to PhilZ touch) and sideloaded a couple roms but NONE of them work. One of the roms boots up and goes in a restart loop after hitting the front page (no icons on the screen just top bar) Even the stock version of htc one for sprint didn't work it kept resetting my device.
I tried using the RUU also but it gives me a bootloader error saying it cannot be restored after a few minutes of loading.
Well every rom so far attempted has been a dead end. CM, AOKP, all have booted and started a restart loop. I am not sure if its my kernal or anything else.
I just need some help. What I did notice is that even if the devices were working I had no cell signal. Someone please help lol

Where are you getting these ROMs from? Have you tried the ones in the Sprint HTC One forums?

Stuck in a pickle ( D415 fastboot)

Hey guys long time personal device modder and lurker here, I've seem to have bricked my girlfriends phone, and she is currently not very pleased.
I attempted to unlocked the boot loader for her D415
from this tutorial here http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-t-mobile-l90-t2836457.
did the first half of the guide ( adb ), I wasnt able to get reach fastboot from lack of fastboot drivers, but after reading another thread turns out her d415 was unlocked already. I rooted the phone with towelroot, installed TWRP from I think rom manager, booted into recovery from terminal emulator, made a backup of the phone using TWRP and installed cyanogenmod 11.
Now everything worked great with the phone, but she wanted Gapps. When I installed Gapps from TWRP half of the Gapps werent there ( the play store was missing ) , and a google plus notification repeatably kept popping up. So I decided to restore the phone with the backup of the phone I made earlier and reinstall cyanogenmod. Once the restore was complete it was booted into fastboot. At first her phone wasn't being recognized, I found the drivers for fastboot, on this guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/general/guide-fastboot-l90-d415-t2827825. I can communicate with my phone from fastboot but that's it. I tried using fastboot to install the cyanogenmod and stock rom but I got a 'error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt" from each rom
So any help would be appreciated! Sorry for the long post, I didnt wanna leave out any details that could help!

I'm not quite sure if your guide can help me, I'm only able to communicate with the device via fastboot, I can't reach download mode either . Thank you though
Flash recovery in fastboot. Install a system in custom recovery.

I don't think I can enter recovery by holding down buttons on this phone, I think the only way I could reach it is from a terminal emulator or TWRP manager? So what would flashing a recovery do ? because wouldnt I still be in flashboot?
Sorry only being stuck in flashboot is weird.

Bricked my L70

I really messed up my L70-D320. I was installing Cynagenmod 13 with adb sideload cm-13.0-20160114-NIGHTLY-w5.zip
Update crashed and now there's nothing, No TWRP, No bootloader, No fastboot
The only thing that's still working is ADB. Trying opening a shell in adb will give adb /system/bin/sh failed: no such file or directory.
Tried this Unbrick trick with Linux, but unfortunately that's also not working.
Looks like the partition table is damaged.
Somebody an idea to get it back a life?
Hello.
I think you've posted in the wrong forum: this one is for L90.
Anyway, what is usually suggested for L90 is these cases if you still can put your device in download mode is use LG Flash Took to flash stock ROM kdz.
Sent from my LG-D410 using XDA Free mobile app
Sorry for the wrong forum.
There's no download mode anymore, keeps stuck in "Press volume up until you see the download screen"

Lg up tool Device model unknown?

My g4 is in a state of half alive half dead.
I explained in another post my issue.
Seemingly people say lg up tool is now the only method Unlike the old flash tool method to unbrick or kdz stock is this Only cause of 6.0 firmware?
When i plug in phone to pc in download mode Lg up tool shows device model as unknown. And says please select a device model which theres no butons to do that.
Lg flash tool 2014 won't flash 20i kdz it errors out connection upon extracting kdz software at around 80% Even leting it sit don't work like people say to do
Ive tried 10n kdz also that says software upgrade in progress fails at 9% then says unplug phone from pc and retry.
There is no Com in the download mode screen at any point.
All i did by mistake was fastboot oem relock bootloader Whilw rooted and on micromods Rom ONLY cause i wasnt sure if that' was the cause of the failed Flash tool errors. Now i have secure boot error 1003. Now I knew that was a No no with Nexus phones but i suspected Lg kdz over writes all that stuff.
Theres gotta be a way with one of the 2 tools Or a way to adb re unlock the bootloader and maybe salvage my Underlying twrp recovery and O.S

Or how can. I fix the unauthorized on adb i think the problem is in my phone i tried diffrent computers windows 7 and 10 any help will greatly appreciates thanks

Did you try USB 2.0, if you a have a USB3.0 port it causes problems,
does your G4 serial starts with serial 505 to 510 and harware 1.0 ? those seems affected by the hardware flaw that makes boot loops
I read somewhere in here that serials 601and upper have the bootloop flaw fixed
Anyway, if you have an SD card installed, with the phone off remove it
and try again without the SD card
sometimes that helps
looks like G4 is a unstable beast
I did the same thing, I still haven't gotten adb working again but you can boot into recovery via kernel auditor. Or do a factory reset via the hardware keys and it will take you to twrp.
Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk
I'm stuck at pretty much the same juncture. Kernel Auditor requires root to function (which we both seem to have lost) and the hardware buttons/factory reset just do that then boot me back into the rom. I also assume it's something with the phone since it reads "unauthorized" on 3 separate machines. Any other thoughts guys?
Also it has become apparent that although I fastbooted into TWRP initially, it did not stick. Leaving me with stock recovery, and clueless how to flash a recovery without ADB access.
@oogsaggie this what i did to get it fixed just download LGUP, put it in download mode, download the 20i KDZ file, and go back to stock 20i. and then root again make sure you permanently flash twrp move the twrp. image to your phone and flash iy from twrp

@COCODRILO45 Ended up doing exactly that. Wish I had seen your post earlier, but regardless great minds and all that stuff. For future reference I think COCODRILO45's solution is the most painless way to go. Cheers!
