XT1095 Marshmallow Won't Boot, Full Disk - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Stock Android 6.0 with stock recovery, no root, locked bootloader. Ran the device out of internal storage by writing too many files to the application's data directory. The device crashed and now it goes black after the boot animation. Able to get to the bootloader and recover menus. Lots of data stuck on the device. Any advice on pulling the files or getting Android to start again?

Try wiping the cache in the recovery menu.

Tried this already. Thanks for the suggestion!

Sorry, I didn't see that I your original post so I had to start at the beginning with the most simple suggestion.
Go to recovery and try to use the adb shell to copy off the data you want to keep. Maybe also try a backup from adb (I forget the command).
If you know of a program that is taking up alot of data in the data partition that you don't care about losing then you could try using the shell to delete that data file.
Otherwise, you may just have to factory reset and start over.

[Q] Battery Died - sdcard read-only, system read-only, and data read-only

Well I screwed the pooch on this one...
While browsing on the streak the battery died and after that I had force close issues for just about every user and system app on the phone. Normally that can be something corrupted on the sdcard from the shutdown and you can typically find the folder and remove it. The alternative would be running fix permissions in terminal, adb, or rom manager. That's not the case here (that I've found). It happens or has happened to me on my sgs before but not my nexus or g1 before that so I'm not sure what specifically triggers it. While trying to find the corrupted file I I tried to install Rom Manager but I can't get into the market despite clearing the cache. I can't install any apps at all actually - it will reboot the phone.
It seems to be a permissions problem. When the issue started like 8 hours ago the sdcard, system, and data were all read only. I fixed the sdcard by mounting to my computer and fixing the permissions in windows by changing the folder properties. I eventually fixed the system permissions (I believe) when I fastboot flashed the boot and system.img for the "performance fixes"; however, I can't for the LIFE of me fix the permissions of the /data and whatever else still is read-only. Flashing the system.img did change that to read-write though which was a major step in the right direction. Seriously, I've tried wiping in recovery (it says it works but doesn't wipe when rebooting), fastboot erase /data to name another attempt with no results after rebooting. It just doesn't erase anything like recovery, fastboot, and everything else doesn't have permission to erase, delete, or modify the data partition.
I can't install apps normally or adb.
I can't wipe data - I get errors in adb about it being read-only.
I can't wipe data in Recovery. It wipes, then reboots, with none of the data wiped.
I can't wipe in Fastboot using Fastboot erase /data - same thing as above.
I can't install root explorer only I'm pretty sure that won't work if fastboot doesn't.
I can't fix permissions using any method that I know of...
Is there anything I'm missing on ways to erase/format /data and everything else that might have this permission problem?
Logcat: http://db.tt/0bzhUQi
*edit:
So I also have root when booting amidst all the force closing (tested with titanium backup) I have but ADB doesn't. I can only get su with adb when I run OneClickRoot again and I get the "failed to copy rateagainstthecage to /data/local/tmp/rageagainsthecage. Read-only filesystem. Then says "unbalbe to chmod /data/local/tmp/tageagainsthecage read-only file system which is what I got also when I tried fixing the permissions for that folder. With that - I only have temporary root only in adb - fully rooted otherwise...
Same problem here cant save or delete. Very time I start up I get the welcome screen and I have to input all my info then all of my apps start to crash. I tried flashing the boot and system.img with fastboot but that did nothing so I decided to see what will happens if I erased all of my partitions (system, boot, userdata, recovery and cache) Fastboot reports back that my partitions all got erased but when I boot up (it shouldn't boot up because all partitions are deleted)it start up to the welcome screen and I back to the same problem that I cant permanently wright or delete to the internal drive
Ya - I'm at a total loss. Keep me posted on what you try and I'll do the same. I won't be able to mess with it until later today and not really sure of what I'll try next. As of now it's essentially worthless to use...
Sorry what will happen if you factory reset now and erase tablet storage? (option 4 with volume up +power button)?
At least you have almost nothing more to lose here right.
Otherwise the only solution I think is to wait for CWM recovery image to come out then...
Sorry that this happened to your DS7. I struggled with quite some issue with mine too, it is pretty annoying.
I tried that factory reset over 10 time. All of the same files that I had on the streak7 before this problem stay intact. Factor rest from the recover mode dont seem write to the streak7

+1. I even fastboot erased /data or attempted to. Seems like the command works but when you reboot everything is still there.
Found the other post which I didn't find http://goo.gl/xlO6y earlier.
I'm wondering if we tried setting permissions with adb with the mounts they're finding in this thread http://goo.gl/wOynl
I'll post back if I can find the chmod commands. That info might help though.
I tried fastboot -w to erase the data from the device. It boots with no force close issues now but I still can't wipe anything (still read only). I think I can install apps now though so hopefully I can install Rom Manager and Root Explorer to fix permissions and see what I can find out. Doubt it will work but hey, if I started out with read only sdcard, data, and system, and now have read-only data, that's progress I suppose.
I only have it for another few days before returning. I received the replacement yesterday and have to mail it back soon.

[Q] Restoring apps gone wrong - now rebooting constantly? plz help

Hi there
I've unfortunately gotten a faulty devices and I'm suppose to get it switched with a new device. (another story about not being able to make calls, scrathing sound etc)
I've rooted my phone and it worked flawlessly, but today I wanted to un-root and would install the apps i've removed with root explorer. Therefore I downloaded a system/ dump and tried restoring the "app" directory in system/ with root explorer. This resulted in random force closes
Then I used "adb" su to copy all the app files from sdcard (where I copied the files from the dump) to the system/app directory. After a while it was done and I type reboot... [Bricked?]
Now the phone keeps rebooting. Getting the LG logo with sound and afterwards the LG logo with progress bar... then rebooting...
I need help

Try to hard reset, turn off your phone press volume - and power.
Thanks for the response... When I press power+volume down, the "unpacking box with android person" appears for a 20 seconds or so... the reboots and I'm back to rebooting constantly
When I try pressing volume down and home key/returnkey I can get in to S/W update mode, but I cant get the ADB to work?
Other suggestions?
That's why its a bad idea to delete stock apps in the first place when we don't have custom recovery yet.

It wasnt a problem when deleting them, and the phone was alright... it was when restoring through ADB it went wrong... I need a suggestion to get it fixed not an "I-told-you-so"
Yeah... sorry... i was kinda an ass.
But sadly I'm all out of ideas.
Maybe if we had a service manual (not user manual)

Can you connect to phone by adb?
You need to clear dalvik cache.
Hi Doc
No... unfortunately I cant get ADB to work....
I can get into S/W update mode, but ADB doesnt work. I can get the Factory reset to begin too, but it just gets into the reboot circle again.
If there was just a way to get into ADB mode I could push every single file again
Damn... I hope it isn't bricked for good
If HR doesn't work. Just return for warrenty.
Cause if it reboots that a corrupted boot.img
Try to see if you can get alist of apps installed on phone.
If superuser.apk is not in there, return it for warrenty.
In one of the reboots I think I had a glimse of a connection thru ADB acouple of times. I had approx. 10 seconds before rebooting again.
Did a list... and guess I saw a dir called "root" but didnt have time to get into the system/app directory...
If we can't find a solution I think I'll try to return the phone and hope for a new one without any question asked
Have you tried putting it in sw update mode and running the LG update tool?
http://www.lg.com/dk/support/mc-support/mobile-phone-support.jsp?countryCd=dk
Might do the trick
Yes I've tried the LG update tool. It says it has a new update, but the current firmware version doesn't show, and when I'm trying to do the update It aborts and says that the phone cannot be updated...
I just tried the Factory Reset and you can abort the reset when the "unpacking box" is showing by pressing the home key. Then you get into the 3e recovery menu... But there no way to select an option. Would have tried to wipe cache partition and data/factory reset. In the text it only says "formatting DATA:..., Formatting CACHE:..., Formatting MISC:..."

There in no way to restore you phone now because we don't have any tools that's work with optimus 2x.
Bring it back to retailer and say that phone is just not booting and you want a replacement.
Edit: Well... discount the advice below for the time being... I've found myself in the same position and the commands below don't work.
My phone is also now useless...
I replied to your thread over at MoDoCo, and although the thread has gone off track it does have Paul's attention.

Oh dear.
I tend to agree, whilst it will be recoverable it could be very time consuming.
A factory reset will wipe cache and dalvik cache, so that's not your problem.
Neither is boot.img your problem, that will be intact.
However, if you can't get a console (via adb or terminal) you're in a difficult position.
Try issuing the 'stop' command in your brief adb window to see if you can preserve the shell.
Code:
$ su
# stop
If you can then try and mount /system rw
If you can do that then you can possibly self recover... by carefully and selectively adding files to /system/app/, rebooting and trying, again and again.

[Q] Phone state won't change no matter what I do

Quick SUMMARY (see details below if you've got some minutes to read!)
-> I need HELP!!!
-> Phone is rooted stock GB with jb hboot unlocked bootloader and TWRP v2.2.0, also superCID.
-> Problem is phone apps keep force closing and won't retain any change I make after reboot
-> Last installed program was ROM Toolbox
-> Steps already taken include: Reboots, Fix permission, Wipe (ALL), ROM Update using Windows, RUU using SD card.
Details
I have a Vivid with Stock Gingerbread (Rooted, Bootloader Unlocked, Juopunutbear hboot, SuperCID S-OFF, TWRP Recovery v2.2.0)
I recently removed the SD card on my vivid to use on another phone (SGS III) and when I returned the SD card and started my vivid, I tried using the file manager (ES Explorer) and it force closed, following series of other apps force closing.
I restarted the phone and the force closing didn't stop. I tried uninstalling the most recently installed app (ROM Toolbox) thinking it might be the culprit and nothing changed. I rebooted the phone and noticed every time I rebooted, the phone goes back to the state (installed apps, settings and every other thing) it was before I removed the SD card.
I installed Titanium Backup to make a Backup and flash the phone, but it kept force closing and after several reboots and attempts, it installed but couldn't acquire root.
I restarted to recovery to fix permissions and cleared cache and dalvik cache then rebooted the phone. No luck!!!
I eventually decided to wipe the ROM and do a fresh RUU install. I wiped system and data using recovery but when I restarted the phone, it booted to the (pre-SD card removal) state and was still force closing.
I tried installing ICS using the RUU from att and I got an "Error 155" on the way. I also tried installing the RUU using PH39IMG method with the SD card, it goes through the normal install process and when the phone booted, it's still the same state it was that it takes me to changing nothing.
I've tried all I know and it seems the phone is "write-locked" as it won't retain any change after reboot, suggestions to what I can do to fix this weird problem please.
I am not so sure...

No it didn't. I only used the sdcard to copy some files to the sgs3 and I still could access the sdcard on my vivid through Root Browser in ROM Toolbox.
hardware maybe
Interesting... One thing you could do is enable USB debugging, and save a logcat showing your phone hitting some of these FCs so we can see what is causing them.
Once USB debugging is enabled, simply boot your phone, plug into your computer via USB, open a command prompt to where you have ADB tools installed, and type "adb logcat > log.txt
That will stream the log from your phone into a text file. After you get one or two FCs, on the command window hit CTRL + C to close the console, and save the log. Then post it as an attachment here.

Thanks ess.boyer. I've been busy over the past few weeks so just saw your reply now.
The phone is in a pretty bad shape right now, I managed to drop it and the screen is shattered so I can't touch the screen to use it.
But I put it on and did the log. Please find attached.
Thanks for wanting to help!!!
So I think the install is probably botched. I'd recommend wiping EVERYTHING and reinstalling from RUU (maybe try a different RUU even).
However, first, please try wiping your cache and dalvik cache. Most of the errors are from not being able to find symbols in dalvik.
Also, are you restoring apps using Titanium backup or some other such program? If so, that could also be an issue. If you have, and wiping cache & dalvik cache don't work, you may want to try wiping /data entirely, and NOT restoring apps before you can confirm that the FC issues you were seeing are still there.
Give the cache & delvik clean a try, and if that doesn't work, please attach a similar log so I can confirm you're seeing the same issues, then we can go from there.

Please see my steps already taken.
I've wiped cache and dalvik, I've installed RUU thru windows, I've installed RUU from SD card. But whenever the Phone boots up, the phone state does not change at all (all apps are as they are, all settings are as they are).
I even tried to lock bootloader, remove superCID. Just a reboot and it all goes back to what it was.
Thanks

Hi all. Phone is rooted and unlocked. Have twrp installed. Made a twrp backup, downloaded a new ROM (aosp). Wiped phone as in op, flashed new ROM & gapps. Upon restating, phone asked for password. I'd made sure that I'd got rid of security seetings before making backup. Tried to reinstall backup, phone boots into startup screen, then again, asks for "to start android device, enter your password". Please help.
Try deleting this file in twrp using the file manager.
/data/system/locksettings.db

Hi many thanks....but when I go into file manager, there is no file for data????
I think I've killed the phone. Any way of completely wiping and starting again?
The 3 buttons at bottom of screen. When I press the right button, message I get is:
Failed to decrypt data.
Unable to decrypt with default password. You may need to perform a format data.

Glad you came here, it is simple to solve this.
1. put your device into bootloader mode
2. connect your device to pc via usb
3. install minimal adb and open command prompt in that minimal adb folder.
4. enter command - fastboot erase userdata
5. solved. but sorry, it will wipe your internal memory too.
you can even try wiping data with twrp, but it'll usually won't work at this stage. so follow the command. cheers.

Try to format data instead of wiping, either do it within TWRP (Wipe > Format Data > type "yes") or fastboot:
Code:
fastboot format userdata
Please note that all data is going to be lost, in case you didn't make a backup yet (if it's even possible to do it, since it says that data is corrupted).

i already did that on accidentand deleted everything even the backups
Something similar happen to me. I was in twrp and was performing a full wipe(not factory reset), I installed RR, kernel, and then when I was installing gapps, the phone rebooted, and when I tried anything, it said e: legacy property not found( or something similar) and would not boot to system, would not flash anything, wouldn't boot to bootloader, but I was able to transfer files and use adb so I plugged into the computer and used adb reboot fastboot and booted to bootlaoder, now everything works

Backups are supposed to be stored outside the device you make a backup of, keep that in mind for future
