First off, I want to say that I take full responsibility for this fiasco, it's my own fault because I didn't read the instructions well enough.
I bought a T-mobile G4-H811 in May, successfully rooted it and installed TWRP and all was well.
Last night I decided to install a custom Rom, and I screwed up BAD. I went with the Genisys rom and theme pair, but I didn't wipe the system before installing, and then I only installed the Theme without the Rom (i.e. I installed the Genisys 4.2 theme onto the stock Rom). Surprisingly, the system didn't brick. Instead when I booted back up, I got the error "Unfortunately, camera has stopped", and most phone functions stopped working: camera, audio and video files, youtube, even the dialer. It's got text messaging, web browsing, and that's about it.
I've tried wiping the system and installing the Genisys rom, no change. Also no change with the stock stock rom, and Resurrection Remix rom, exact same problem on all of them. Cyanogen gives install errors, and after I fixed those it just hangs on the boot screen.
I'm perfectly willing to accept that I've irreparably broken my device, but I'm hoping someone here has an idea of what I broke and how to fix it.
Thank you for your time reading this.

While I didnt do the same that you did, I had the same symptoms. They even carried over into 20i stock rom. I tried flashing the 20i KDZ and it didnt fix anything. I flashed 20p and everything was magically fixed.

hi, my friend called me on a different fone to walk them thru the process of rooting/twrp'ing an h811 using this as a guide ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epcXXkMPRWk ).
and it booted up fine and the touchscreen worked. so i suggested they also try cyanogenmod (11.12.2015 nightly). they booted into twrp and did a backup then factory wipe and installed the cm-12.1...zip.
they booted into cyanogenmod and the touchscreen worked. but the t-mobile lte internet wasnt working so they wanted to go back.
good thing they created a backup first...
so they did a factory wipe then restored their image. when they rebooted the got a message process system not responding and the screen doesnt acknowledge any touch.
we tried going into twrp and doing wipe dalvik/cache ... we tried re-rooting using the steps outlined in the youtube video ... but the same problem persists.
after playing around with twrp and wiping random stuff the fone eventually allowed them to unlock the screen but there was no t-mobile service and after about a minute the screen stopped responding while they were scrolling thru the app-drawer.
i think as of now the only os where the touch-screen works is cyanogenmod; is it possible that cyanogenmod/twrp broke the touchscreen or lte modules in android ?
i thought they were two different os's that used different software/firmware ?
suggestions ?
thanks,
It's possibly a corrupt backup file. I would use TWRP to flash the stock ROM & see what happens.
i assumed re-rooting would clean everything since it uses the send-command program (essentially dd's the whole disk) but i guess not.
we also tried installing the rooted stock rom using twrp but still no joy.
Re-rooting doesn't do anything to the rom or drivers unless you're doing the easy root using a system img file. Then you're pretty much replacing your rom with one that has superuser already on it. That being said, did you upgrade to the 10n firmware/bootstack? The easy root is for 10h firmware/bootstack so that could be the source of your issues.

I relatively had the same problem where I flashed CM and did not like it because it was buggy and so I restored an nandroid and the once working nandroid was plagued with errors of the touchscreen not working, the phone would freeze, system crashes... It ended up being caused by the fact that I did not flash the 10N bootstack update before hand. After I flashed the new firmware and then flashed CM; all of CM's bugs disappeared. I haven't gone back to stock LG software since CM works flawlessly and is now my dailydriver so I cant say for sure if it will fix the stock rom but It probably will since it cleared up all my bugs like the camera not working, videos now playing...
btw to get data working in CM go to settings/mobile networks/Access point Names/ then scroll down and click "T-Mobile US LTE IPv6" and that should fix the internet issues you have since it fixed it for me.
they didnt do anything with the 10n bootstack (i dont know what that is).
maybe cyanogenmod automatically does the 10n thing (how to manually go back to 10h) ?
i assumed re-loading the 5 gb .img file would bring us back to square-1 but i guess not.
also, how to know what bootstack they are running. i told them to check about fone but they told me nothing in there mentions 10n or 10h.
About phone > Software Info > software version will will say h81110n if on 10n.
Same here on Stock...
I have this running stock H81110n software, which I flashed using a KDZ. However, it only freezes up occasionally, and turning the screen on and off once or twice always gets rid of the problem. It's not bad enough for me yet to warrant any factory resets or tweaking so far, but the problem is there...
Hi,
my ASUS ME176CX currently is:
* rooted
* xposed
* able to boot "anything" (unsigned bootloader)
* using L-Speed
and is running UL-K013-WW-12.10.1.24
So fine so nice...but:
My charging rate drops from 0.5% each minute to 0.125% each minute.
APK-files I download from apkpure reaches the external SD-card as *.zip files, which
I first have to rename to install them (so the structure as such is not touched).
May be all this problems are a result of my experimenting...
I think it is time for the total reset of everything.
But what to take?
* UL-K013-WW-12.10.1.24 again ?
* UL-K013-WW-12.10.1.33 (I read about a sever impact to battery life, though) ?
* UL-K013-WW-12.10.1.36 ?
* the russian lite version of the 36er firmware (I read of not working audio/gps/camera with this?)
* anything else which I had not found while searching?
And: Since TWRP now is installed, I would flash whatever it is advisable to flash with that...
and overwriting the code of a running program -- in this case the flashing application: TWRP itsself.
At this point I need the help of some deep gurus, I think?
How should I flash what firmware to get "the most" (less lagging, more battery life) out of my tablet?
Thank you very much for any help!
Cheers,
Noriatell
PS: Does anyone has experienced any wearout of the internal flash due to write cycles so far?
i use .36 uk release and i havent got any issues with it, ive rooted and debloated (i dont know why people are banging on about a russian lite version, its just debloated aswell isnt it)..
Theres been no point really for TWRP so far, i dont know if a custom rom will be released anytime soon
Hi russy23,
thank you for your reply
One thing I didn't understand (language problem...I am no native english speaker):
"Theres been no point really for TWRP so far" means: There are no problem reported
so far flashing a official ROM with the combon of unsigned bootloader and permanent
TWRP?
Do I need to reflash the bootloader?TWRP again?
Sorry for the tutti frutti of questions...I simply fear to lock out myself from the tablet...
Thanks a lot!
Cheers
noriatell
Ive not lost TWRP after i reflashed the official firmware, so it must be a permanent recovery..
well we were given TWRP a while ago to flash custom roms and eveything has gone silent since, for me stock rom debloated is good

Hi russy32,
I flashed the 36er ROM...and got an error at the end...but it rebooted fine (so far...did made extensively testing right now, though).
I had to reflash SUPERsu and xposed, but this seems to be quite normal...
Do you know, what triggers this error (Saying "Error flashing <filename of ROM>.zip") ?
When reflashing the 24er ROM there was a problem with a check in one the scripts, which has to be removed by hand before flashing...
I currently dont know of any similiar with the 36er ROM. And that failure was right in the beginning of the process and the ROM.
Is there a way to check whether I am on 36er ROM now (something which is for sure, since the "About" is only a copy of a string...)?
Cheers,
noriatell
If I remember correctly I got an error when installing..but everything was working well after..I installed it through adb. The only way I know to check version is the about section

Bad news...
To get a clean install without error I wiped cache, system, Dalvik-cache and system and reinstalled the ROM.
I got errors and a bootloader-loop (stuck in the "Intel" logo).
Now the tablet is charging...I need new power for the next steps.
TWRP is still working.
What had caused this?
How can I get back a clean boot?
Post edit:
I have reapplied my nandroid backup of the 24er ROM. It works so far (It boots). But I have
back the problems I described above.
Question remains:
How can I get a clean install of the 36er ROM?
Cheers,

So the other day I took the plunge and decided to flash cm14 on my H811. Everything went perfectly well. Camera worked, flashlight worked, calling worked. Then I decided to flash Gapps as is customary and when I booted up again I had perfect access to the play store and the Gapps that I wanted, but now the camera doesn't work (just shows a black screen and then crashes), the microphone doesn't work (tried in several different applications), the calling doesn't work and neither does the speaker. I returned to stock marshmallow kdz using lgup and the same problems happened on the stock software.
Any suggestions? Perhaps I wiped some important files the phone needs when I did a wipe in TWRP?

do this cleaning procedure. and even after clean. do a KDZ make sure refurbished optin is ticked.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/turbo-cleaning-proceure-h811-t3417606
I went ahead and updated from 20i to 20o using the organic built in method from the phone. It worked wonders and I'm glad to say my G4 is now running CM 14 flawlessly!
I successfully rooted my droid (that came with lollipop), using this guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-t3292684
installed twrp backed up the stock OS and installed resurrection remix lollipop rom. I did not install any different modems or radios as I planned to stay on lollipop.
Everything worked great yet after a day or two the display/phone would appear to lock up. I can press power, the display doesn't come on and when (usually) moving the the volume up/down I do hear sounds. Sometimes at this point it will reboot by itself, other times I have to reboot it.
When it comes up it goes through the android is upgrading thing, and sometimes works fine after, sometimes not, regardless eventually this problem repeats.
Thinking it was perhaps RR I tried straight Cyanogenmod, and eventually the rooted stock OS, both have this same problem.
I've tried using it with very minimal installed in the way of apps, same issue.
I've tried saving the log to SD to peer at later, but going through it I don't really see anything obvious to show what the problem is.
I"m wondering if there's a problem with the phone itself (it's a refurb) and am considering unrooting it and returning it.
Anyone seen this or thoughts on what might be the issue?
p.s.
if you happen to have a good link handy to an unrooting guide you might shoot it my way thanks.
thanks in advance!
What versions of the other ROMs did you use? Lollipop also, or Marshmallow? Nougat? For rooted stock ROM did you upgrade to Marshmallow? None of the Lollipop ROMs are supported anymore, so hard to answer for those.
There are ways to grab logs after a reboot, but here's another suggestion...
I use Auto Reboot app (needs root) to schedule a reboot my phone every day while I'm asleep.
This seems to keep the cobwebs cleared out, so the phone runs better. I know you want to find the issue, but maybe it's an accumulation of apps not releasing RAM orb something. This might help prevent that.
thanks for the reply

I tried the last released CM lollipop snapshot, as well as the last nightly.
For RR it was last released, "ROM OS Version: 5.1.x Lollipop"

Yeh I've been saving it to the SD so I can view it after a reboot, I've looked at 4 or 5 of them after the problem occurred and at least to me nothing really stood out

Yeh I expect it might periodically need a reboot but if it's just unpredictiably locking up or rebooting on its own it's not very usable.
I think I'm just going to have to try to unroot and return, maybe I'll go with a LG V20 as I don't want to have pay to re-root another one of these and possibly have same issue. Also the whole pay to have some app do something secret to my phone does leave me a bit uneasy.
Kind of a bummer as I'm actually pretty impressed with this device, fast, good battery, takes nice photos, only drawbacks for me are no removable SD and lack of LED notification, but I was willing to live without those given how good everything else was.
thanks

FWIW and in case it helps you or someone else, I seem to have fixed mine finally, here's what I did.
First I installed latest twrp (mod 4) https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=39562 (there's a thread on this twrp if you want tor read on it). That in itself didn't fix the issue but did finally let me format and got rid of an 'mkfs.f2fs: invalid option -- r, ERROR=1' type error I used to get.
I installed this stock zip from twrp as described in thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/development/rom-su4tl-49-100-stock-t3390041
It would never actually boot it would shut my phone off not long after showing the boot screen, and I'm not sure if doing that was necessary or not.
Taking some suggestions from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/help/help-request-custom-rom-phone-unlocked-t3767070
I dug up the last official CM 13 snapshot:
https://www.google.com/search?q=cm-13.0-20161221-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO3Y5-quark.zip
sha1: 9a219dd487c27e51b0c5c4922812838f394099c5
Wipe and installed with no gapps and voilà it would boot consistently. Without reinstalling I tried installing pico gapps and it would still boot though it took maybe 15 mins initially.
I want Nougat so I wiped and installed lineage-14.1-20180612-UNOFFICIAL-quark.zip from https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-maxx/development/rom-t3494646 again no gapps and it also booted fine, whereas previously it would hang on booting. Without reinstalling ROM I tried installing opengapps nano and it would just hang.
I could then no longer get it to boot again, so I reinstalled CM13 no gapps, which booted fine, wipe and install lineage-14.1-20180612-UNOFFICIAL-quark.zip no gapps, and now it boots fine though currently it's taking a while.
I should perhaps note I took twrp backups inbetween steps whenever I had a working boot, (ex before installing gapps), but once the phone went back to hanging on boot, those restores didn't help. Only reflashing CM13 seemed to clear things up.
My ultimate goal is a LOS ish Nougat/Oreo ROM with no gapps using microg, and running tmobile, I'll see what I end up with.
Hi guys, I have a OP3 which is running on 3.1.2 Marshmallow.
I always get a notification for system update to 4.5.1. I've tried downloading and installing the update but after the first boot my OP crashes/gets bricked. There is only a Linux penguin logo that appears no matter what button you press.
From there I always have to follow the mega unbrick guide and get my phone back to working with stock recovery and 3.1.2.
I've tried side loading the downloaded file as well.
Then I've tried installing .zip file of 5.0.1 via TWRP, still no luck. it still bricks my phone.
Am comfortable rooting my phone, my bootloader is unlocked. I don't care too much about keeping root after updating my phone to the latest version, I would be grateful to anyone who can point me towards the proper full ROM files of 5.0.1 along with any firmware files that may be required.
And the exact process of when to flash the firmware and with/without which version of TWRP. I am ready to completely wipe and clear data.
in simple words I just want to update from 3.1.2 to 5.0.1. The simple downloading and updateing from the OTA update doesn't work.

I though of running a diagnosis check by dialing *#808# and looked up Charger option, it shows the battery as "itech_3000mah"
is that original?
I had given the phone to repair for water damage to a professional service chain (Not OnePlus, some company here called Yaantra). I've heard from talking to an official repair person of OnePlus that fake batteries are not possible for OnePlus.
The battery works absolutely alright, charges up nicely and I get decent SOT. Can't complain at all.
