It seems that some people were able to revive their phones using it, so it might be useful.

This will fix no boot logo problem after 2.1 update (maybe this method will also help to restore "dead" phones):
1. Install LG_Android_Driver Ver 1.0
Code:

2. Download and extract KDZ_FW_UPD flasher
Code:

3. Download ROM (.kdz file) and place it in the flasher folder. You can find some ROMS in this thread:

4. Press "volume down" key on the phone and connect usb cable.
5. Open Windows Device Manager and disable LGE Android USB Modem in device manager.

6. Run "KDZ_FW_UPD.exe" (run it as administrator if you are using Windows Vista/7).
7. Set "Type" to "3GQCT" and open your firmware file.
8. Set "PhoneMode" to "CS_EMERGENCY".
Some information about phones modes:
DIAG - standard flashing mode for phones which are turned on.
EMERGENCY - mode for flashing phones in Emergency (Download) Mode.
CS_EMERGENCY - same thing, but appears to be for non-working phones.
9. Press "Launch software update" to start update.
10. As soon as your phone turns off with sound and animation in the screen you can disconnect it (or continue waiting, but you only will get an error):
11. Now turn on the phone and do a hard reset (On the lock screen simultaneously press and hold the volume up, home and search buttons. After several seconds you will see hard reset dialog). If you want, you can now flash using "DIAG" mode.

Thanks a lot, very useful.

Thanks for this wonderful tip

i followed your guide and i get the LG screen (second one) and it just hangs there.

To downgrade to KitKat, download the following file to your PC and extract with 7zip or WinRar: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952608110
Boot your phone into download mode. This is done by powering the phone off, then holding down vol- and power at the same time. Connect the phone to PC with USB. You have to flash all four files with Odin as shown in the following image:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Please be aware that this process will erase any settings, data, and media saved to your phone's internal storage and restore it to its original factory condition, now on KitKat. This process also takes a long time (at least 5 or 10 minutes) and will cause your phone to reboot on its own, and to boot into stock recovery at least once. It is important you leave your phone alone while it is doing so, and definitely do not disconnect it until it boots into the KitKat setup wizard screen.
To apply the security patch, you will now have to flash two files in stock recovery (vol+ and power). First download and extract this file: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891196 it should be named 2400258.cfg. You need to rename it update.zip (yes, this involves changing the file type) and save update.zip to your external SD card (it will not work if it's on internal storage).
Finally, you need to download this file to your external storage and flash in stock recovery: https://www.androidfilehost.com/user/?w=settings-dev-files&flid=37222 Please note this file has already been renamed update.zip. They must both be named update.zip for them to work; since this can be potentially confusing I'd advise you to either save them to different folders, or delete the first one after you're done with it.
Follow these steps and you'll be back on KitKat, with that all important security patch. Good luck :good:

HTC One (M7): Encryption was interrupted and can't complete (no external SD card)

I've shut my phone off before going to bed a few nights ago, then when i woke up, i turned my phone on and all i after a default lockscreen is this message :
"Encryption was interrupted and can't complete. As a result, the data on your phone is no longer accessible. To resume using your phone , you must perform a factory reset. When you set up your phone after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your Google Account."

( i just borrowed this image from another forum as i cant get a screenshot of mine)
if i stay on this screen i can shut my phone off an on and the volume rocker still works, but the only other option i have is to click the RESET PHONE button.
doing so however only gives me the Android System Recovery mode with the ff options and results i get:
1. reboot : if i choose this, the dead android guy just flashes off and on and i can no longer shut my phone down. have to drain the built in battery to shut it down and try another option.
2. apply update from adb: prompts me to sideload a file.. no idea how to do this.. and i believe usb debugging might be required and i recall my usb debugging mode was off before this issue happened.
3. apply update from external storage : the htc one has a built in sd card (apart from the internal phone storage), and i have no update file on it, nor do i have a way of copying one onto it.
4. wipe data/reset : did so, after which, will need to select reboot option, and will just give same result for option # 1 as above..
5. wipe cache partition : same results as #4.
6. apply update from cache: no idea how to do this either.
i would desperately want to recover my files from the built in external storage. but i'm crossing my fingers anyone can help me get the phone fully functional. factory state will be fine. help please..

Anyone who can help? Thanks

[SOLVED] Stuck on stock recovery, adb/fastboot/flash from sd wont work

Solved: This thread may be deleted, sry for bothering you.
I wasnt aware of how to get into fastboot from the stock recovery: Turn off device (Hold down VOLUME UP, VOLUME DOWN and POWER at the same time for a few seconds), remove SD card (in case there's a ZIP that will get auto executed) and boot into bootloader (VOLUME DOWN and POWER for a few seconds).
Old post:
Hello Community!
I'm stuck on the stock recovery with neither fastboot nor adb recognising my device and flashing from SD card giving me "check cid failed, Invalid operation".
How did it come to this:
Tried out Costum ROMs (Linage & Carbon),
restored old backup with TWRP
thought I'd wanna see the stock ROM,
flashed boot image and stock recovery according to this guide
thought it would be a good idea to reboot
regret the last part cause stuck on recovery.
What does it look like atm:
When I turn on the phone, it will stay in the booting screen for some time (white background, "HTC powered by android"), go black, go booting screen again and then go stock recovery (black background, red rectangle with exclamation mark inside)
So I hold VOLUME UP and press POWER, which gets me here:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Tried them all, check cid failed, invalid operation.
When connecting to PC, Windows gives me the devices recognition sound, but adb and fastboot act as if no connection:
What else did I try:
Uninstalled HTC drivers, reboot, install HTC sync manager, uninstall sync manager but leave drivers.
tried different ports and cables as well as SD cards
I don't get why it won't flash from SD card. I tried with different TWRPs in zip, rar and img format, named them 0P8BIMG.* and 0P6BIMG.*
When there's no SD card inside it gives me an error, so it does recognize the SD card.
Last but not least about the bootloader: I locked and unlocked the bootloader shortly before this all happened, so I guess the bootloader is unlocked. However after all I'm merely a noob in all of this, so what do I know.
Any unbricking suggestions?

Mi A2 - Failed to boot - after system update

Hello everyone, yesterday morning, Sunday 12/15/19, the system message "restart the device to make the system update effective".
So I do as I have always been.
The phone, an Mi A2, goes into bootloop and then a white screen appears on a black background with the title:
"<!> Failed to boot"
"Press the Volume keys to select then the Power button to continue.
RETRY
POWER OFF "
Choosing "RETRY" verifies bootloop 3 or 4 times and then the recovery mode screen appears which says:
"Can't Load Android system. Your data may be corrupted. You should get the message you need to perform at factory data reset and erase all user data stored on this device."
It gives me the choice between:
-Try again
-Factory data reset
Choosing "Try again" returns the same routine as when "RETRY" is selected In the previous black background screen, bootloop and then the black background white screen described at the beginning.
I MUST ACCESS AND SAVE THE VERY IMPORTANT CONTENT. :crying:
I have all the photos and videos of my newborn daughter. I usually backup but this inconvenience suddenly caught me.
I surfed and I saw that many people found this problem after an update .. but I never found any solutions. I called the Xiaomi center in Novara indicated by the site but they told me that they only serve as a collection center to send to the assistance in the company Xiaomi, saying that the assistance resets the phone to restore its functioning and does not save the data. I tried to start the fastboot, the device is recognized by the PC and shows the locked bootloader. The program MiFlash asks me to start to install a set of drivers and then immediately generate an unhandled exception and crash.
Attached the images.
Can you help me? I do not know what to do..
