Hi guys, so yeah as the title says, my son got himself a blade last week and has locked himself out the device with "too many pattern attempts" ( he has no google account :S ) i was gonna do a reset in bootloader/recovery mode but i cannot get there.
I have spent all last night trawling the web looking for a work around for this to no avail. When i power up the device with volume - held i get a FMT logo in the middle of the screen, when i power up the device with home and volume + it just boots through to the google account details screen, which when i enter any google account details and hit enter it goes nowhere (heard that this is a bug?) i also have tried calling the device and tried to get in that way. Im getting seriously pissed off with it now lol, can anyone help or throw some info my way? thanks in advance.
You could try boot into Fastboot and then flash ClockworkMod Recovery via that. Then you could wipe data and flash a new ROM.
Also, do you know whether the phone is Gen 1 or Gen 2? Is it a San Francisco running on 2.1 i.e. with no modifications?
Dunno which gen it is bud, yeah it's a san fran and im pretty sure its running 2.1 and it is totally stock, no mods on it at all, i dont have the first idea on how to get into fastboot on the blade, i barely know my way round my own phone lol.
Switch off the phone . Then hold volume up and press power button . Then it enters into fastboot mode. U don't see a seperate title for fastboot mode, but it shows the same splash screen as long as it is in fastboot mode.
Once in fastboot mode, install zte USB drivers (if on windows pc). Then connect phone to of with USB cable. Now using the command prompt and adb tools, u should flash the recovery.img file which u should download seperately for ur corresponding Gen.
The fastboot command to flash recovery is
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
Alternatively u can flash a TPT which should give custom recovery AFAIK.

Then it should be 2.1 and Gen 1.
I think a TPT would be easier in this scenario.
See here: http://android.modaco.com/topic/337798-gen1-to-gen2-tpt-upgrade/
Thanks a lot for the help guys, but im too chicken to mess around with it lol, the wife is just gonna take it back to orange tomorrow and see what they say, if no luck with them i will look more into it, thanks again

try vol down and power and try the fastboot devices command

Can you explain the fastboot devices command a bit further please. I get no response from phone when I try the button combinations
sent from My Delorian
ok first boot your phone into fastboot by pressing the power and camera if your phone is doing what i think it is doing it should look like it hasnt booted e.g. black screen then plug your phone into your usb and use command prompt or terminal if your on ubuntu and navigate to your folder that has the adb.exe and fastboot.exe
e.g. mine is
cd C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Downloads\adb+fastboot\adb+fastboot
them type
fastboot devices into command prompt that will tell you if your phone has connected into fastboot mode
http://androidforums.com/optimus-gt...2-cyanogenmod-6-1-android-2-2-here-gt540.html
I have been following this tutorial and have just typed in fastboot.exe -w and it is now saying erasing user data, in the flashing cynogen mod section, it has been going for a while i am not sure how long it should take
when i typed fastboot devices it came back with ? fastboot and nothing else
when you get the ? mark your phone is connected and you are good to go at flashing fastboot roms.

Hi,
Please help out
Was using your Nexus 4 rootkit.. Everthing was done and phone was rooted .
Now i wanted to update the CWM. I chose the option 11 boot or flash .img files to device. I chose the cwm mako version
and decide to flash it.
Now i am asked options such as boot, bootloader, radio etc.
Here I choose Boot..(This I think I have done wrong.)
Now. Phone only boots to recovery... No matter I with on , Off I cannot go anywhere.. I go directly to CWM.
I tried your toolkit again and this said Phone needs to go in adb .. It says waiting for device..
I cannot also mount the SD card so that i can put some images in the phone...
Hence I cannot do anyhting
Plz help.

if the nexus had external SD card things would have been easier. I could have just used my SC card reader..

I don't know man. With what you have said there is no reason you shouldn't be able to get into your bootloader. If you can't you might be screwed. I flagged your thread in the RC forum. Hopefully some of them will stop by with some other ideas.

I am now trying the ADB commads.. in the thread you provided. Lets hope something good comes out..
Till then anyone else can help , will be appreciated.
Can you do
Fastboot flash recovery (name).img
Then fastboot flash boot (boot).img
And then access recovery? If you are in recovery img pretty sure you can use adb. Just a suggestion.
Whatever is in your boot partition (recovery in your case) will be booted when you turn the phone on. This is why you see recovery.
Edit: you cant get into bootloader *at all?* no fastboot then?

Hi RAZOR, I read your story and it looks like it's not ALL big problems there. I'm willing to help you with that, if you want send me a PM and we talk with GTalk (give you it there), but let's see...
I would plug my cellphone on the PC (hope it works like my Xoom, as they are very similar in some points - Xoom is GED, N4 is Nexus...)
(You said it is booting on recovery), now I would use adb to continue easily...
If you are on Windows:
1 - Open a cmd
2 - cd to adb place
3 - now type adb reboot bootloader, then it would go to fast boot
Now you flash the images you downloaded
On Linux
1 - Open Terminal
2 - Download LAIOT (my tool on signature ) (only to get adb and fast boot ready for use)
3 - Now open terminal and type adb reboot bootloader, then flash the images you downloaded with fastboot
If nothing this work, send me a PM and we'll talk

I had a field day this morning with my phone also when trying to flash the stock image back. Finally got it working. The only similarity we had is that I could not mount my data or sdcard either after flashing the stock image.
However, I WAS able to get into fastboot. Should you be able to get into fastboot then RE-LOCK and UN-LOCK your bootloader and everything should work again (fixed my data and sdcard mount issue). I was then able to boot into Android and carry on.
Fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem unluck
Or use the Toolkit.
My only other suggestion would be to take off the back case and try pull the battery (haven't seen it done and not even 100% sure it can be). Maybe the battery just needs a time-out from the phone.
Hope that's some useful information for you.
Good luck.

This all still sounds very strange. Wish we could help you get it working but it doesn't look like any of the suggestions have helped. To bad you don't live in the same area as me I'd offer to try and help more.
If you're within the 15 day period perhaps Google can RMA the phone...

2. wait for it to go into charge animation
3. unplug, then press power button to boot, immediately press vol up + vol down.
4. hopefully you booted into bootloader mode (rinse and repeat steps 1~4 if you can't get to this point)
5. chose recovery (if your recovery is corrupted, repeat steps 1~4 and do fastboot flash recovery cwmxxx.img)
6. from recovery choose restart system
if you can't get to step 2, because N4 has a bug with battery capacity, plug your phone into AC charge and let it charge for a few mins. then restart from step 1...

Ok as far as I have herd there is no way to rescue a bricked nexus 7 using NVflash if there are no Backed-up Blob files on it. If you just ended up in apx mode without doing anything to its bootloader then it is probably out of charge or needs to have a particular button combo to sort it out
if on the other hand you corrupted the bootloader and after that the device is in a sleep of death then you have hardbricked your nexus 7 'apparently'
good luck
No Custom Bootloader

Ok if you want to know about how to set up a link between the NVflash tool (on your computer) and your new n7 just use the following proceedure here www.androidroot.mobi/pages/guides/tegra3-guide-nvflash-jellybean
As far as your old n7 is concerned if it is definitely hard-bricked and you have not made a backup using NVflash before the brick then there is no known way to save it with only a computer and n7 connected via USB however there is a slim chance your old n7 might just be in a state where it can't access the bootloader because of some power shortage or incorrect button states so do keep trying the key combos and recharging etc because there are a lot of stories of people who escaped using this random strategy. Normally to get into apx mode one would press all three buttons at once so to get out you could do the same so it is worth a try
BTW I have one more trick up my sleeve, if you download WugFresh's toolkit for the n7 (make sure its 2012 edition) then you could try pressing the 'reboot bootloader' option in the advance options menu in the lower left.
good luck

So i was trying the new beta for PA android and when i was on recovery wiping as usual, the wipe process just froze there for a while, i decided to leave it till it worked again but to no avail it didnt budge at all, so i commited the ultimate sin, and powered it off by holding the power button...
when i tried again tu turn it on the tablet would go thru the google with the padlock screen and then show me a black screen with a little logo of clockworkmod and a version number below, the screen itself has no use since no matter what button i press it does nothing, other than that the tablet keeps rebooting after that.
when i try any combination of buttons to access either the real recovery or the bootloader the tablet just plain ignores that im trying to turn it on, just doesnt work, it just turns on if im not pressing anything besides the power button.
to sum up to all my problems i would love to keep trying and see if at anypoint it will turn to bootloader, i havent seen the notification of the tablet being charged... meaning that i dont know if it has enough battery to last me the remaning ideas i had.
So in a nutshell
-no bootloader
-no fastboot
-no recovery
-cant tell if battery or not
Please if anyone knows how to fix or at least get me to a bootloader i would fix everything else, but i really need the guidance here
Have you tried another charger and cable? A simple idea, but not one to over look.
Without bootloader menu or recovery, not much you can do. I'd work on getting into one of those first. Not much you can do until then.

Yeah ive tried 4 other chargers, and nothing new, i know that the os itself takes care of the charging as does the recovery in some cases, but since i have non i dont know if its gonna charge at all or not and trying doesnt sound really appealing since i should save battery in case theres a solution and needs battery power

if you have enough battery and can get pc to see is thru adb. you may be able to fastboot a new rom onto the device. You can from pc Request device to go into bootloader or fast boot from the PC..
This is your only shot.. I Would suggest borrow a friends Nexus 7 Full Battery . If you do not know how to do any of this . Use skips root kit and use the unbrick or factory reset. it will force your device into fast boot and flash a new rom.
Good Luck

yeh i know how to use the skip toolkit, yet i hope i have enough battery for the test, because the only friend that i know owns a nexus 7 left the country a few months back, so the battery sounds like its gonna be hard to get. Anyways, as u were saying theres a posibility that while the tablet is rebooting and rebooting it might be able to be found on the adb devices? and use the fastboot, cuz if thats true u would be the hero ive been waiting for...
imma check and tell u later,

Hi All,
I hoping some kind soul will guide/lend a helping hand here?
Here's my problem, I own an LG G2 d802, running kk4.2.2, rooted via towelroot.
Today I decided to for the first time to delve into the world of custom ROM's and what a mistake it was
Basically I downloaded TWRP for d802(img), gapps(d802 version), and cm Resurrection Remix and then I made the fatal mistake of using Flashify to flash TWRP to my phone and rebooting. After doing this I can no longer enter download mode, recovery mode, and when I try to go to either I get the ERROR: boot certification verify: secure booting error.
When I i plug my phone into my computer (drivers & LG support tool installed) my computer recognizes my device, however it displays around 10 or so removable drives i.e f, g, r etc and lots of messages appear saying i need to format them before they can be used and Support tool doesn't recognize my phone as being connected at all
I have searched lots of threads and now realize that Instead of using Flashify I should have used Autorec(lesson learned), I have also searched for possible solutions and the only
one which looks remotely viable is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
My only problem is I have LG G2 d802 32gb model and the files in the above guide/solution are for the LG G2 d802 16gb 10a and even then if they was the correct files I think i would still have a very hard time following/using the files to make my phone live again and also have no knowledge/exp with Linux distro's.
I am a total noob/idiot and don't have a clue how I am going to fix my phone and have pretty much pulled out whats left of my hair in despair!!
Please help me.
Kindest regards, Dark.

I am literally going insane now is there no one here that can even be so kind to say if the above is even the correct way for me to go? or point out a way which may be better or a step by step/link to things I need?
I really don't have the exp/confidence or knowledge to be bale to know if its correct or not and really don't want to make things worse by trying something that may not be right
Can find threads and websites which have similar type situation but all seem to have slightly different to my own as most can seem to have download mode or still be able to boot their OS but i cant do either.
is this below method any use for my situation?

You say in your original post you're running KK 4.2.2. 4.2.2 is Jellybean not KitKat, so which one are you running exactly?
If you didn't use AutoRec your bootloader should still be a Kitkat Bootloader since AutoRec's job is to downgrade your Bootloader to Jellybean.
There are 2 ways to access Recovery Mode on a G2 depending on the current Bootloader.
Method 1 (Jellybean Bootloader)
Turn G2 Off. Hold PWR + VOL DWN, when LG Logo appears let go and hold PWR + VOL DWN.
Method 2 (KitKat Bootloader)
Turn G2 Off. How PWR + VOL DWN, when LG Logo appears, let go and hold VOL UP + VOL DWN.
Do either of those work?

Well since you can't access Recovery Mode, you can't access Download Mode and your receiving a Boot Error, It sounds like your only option here is to follow this tutorial.
As for the files you need, you have a 32GB D802. Download this .7z package and extract it. You'll find all the .img files you need. Now follow the tutorial .

No worries hope everything goes well If you're unsure if any commands just send me a message or post here.
Note: It's nice to hit the "thanks" button under my posts if you are thankful Saying thanks without clicking the thanks button is like a slap in the face .

Quick update just before i commenced with the tutorial , i once again tried the key sequence for Download mode and recovery mode and to my surprise got a different result to yesterday!
I now can do factory reset which wouldn't let me do yesterday , have started it but now worried as its been the little green android man with blue spinning cogs in his chest for about for 15 minutes now and fear i may have made things worse
