I've been searching while at work trying to find someone with a similiar issue and have not met any luck.
I've tried the 2 different 1 touch root programs to no avail. I am able to unlock my device fine, but once it tries to push the img for CWM the Nexus 7 becomes unresponsive. It will lock up. The only way to get out is to hold the power button until it powers off.
After a few attempts with both 1 click tools I gave up and just decided to use ADB and do it myself.
What I can do:
lock/unlock the device.
reboot to and from the boot loader.
install apk's while in the Android OS
What I cannot do:
Push any file to the Nexus 7 while in the boot loader.
Once I try to push the img for CWM the device locks up, becomes unresponsive, and the fastboot devices command does not show any devices connected anymore.
Currently using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and OTA 4.1.1. I've tried numerous known working USB cords and the OEM cord. I've used both sets of drivers included in the 1 click root tools, the "naked" drivers, and the set of drivers that work for numerous devices.
I'm a complete newb with ADB and don't know much about it. is it possible to copy the CWM img to my internal storage and install it from the internal storage rather than pushing it over USB?
I'm currently at work, and do not have admin on this PC or I would try again and see if I have the same problem on a different system. Tonight when I get home I will try my girlfriends PC, and I do have a dual boot of linux I can try from as well. But if her PC and linux both fail I'm probably going to have to return it claiming I have display issues and get a new one.

Using root tool kit make sure you have stock ROM selected before you select root. Once you have stock ROM selected you should be able to root.

When using either root tool, as soon as the tool starts pushing the custom recovery over the Nexus becomes completely unresponsive. The device itself locks up. At this point it does not show up as a connected ADB device anymore on my PC. I need to hard power it off and reboot for my PC to see it again.
Both tools boot it into the bootloader fine, and both tools can unlock the bootloader fine. I can do it with ADB manually as well. But as soon as any of them start actually pushing the CWM img file over that's when the Nexus locks up. Volume up/down do nothing, power does nothing, my pc doesnt recognize the device anymore either. All I can do is hard power it off by holding the power button.
At this point I'm convinced it's either some strange issue on my PC, or the nexus itself. I'll know for sure once I try it again on my girlfriends computer tonight.

If what your describing is when you go to push custom recovery screen locks up should be black screen with Google on it then your computer says can't find device something like that. Mine did the same thing, in the tool kit upper left corner it ask for model type, make sure you have correct Android selected. I selected custom rom by mistake and it just hung there on the black screen. It should list custom ROM, Android 4.1, or Android 4.1.1 Select what you have and it should work....hopefully.

Unfortunately not. I have selected the right options. It freezes on the bootloader screen. It never even makes it to the boot stage. I've tried to flash a recovery permanently and temporarily boot from a recovery as well. It freezes either way.
Additionally if I boot to the boot loader, and select recovery it will not boot into the stock recovery at all... It just sits at the google splash screen with the unlocked padlock.

Hello all,
Any help with this would be seriously appreciated. I rooted my Nexus 10 a while back, maybe two years ago. I'm not very proficient with this stuff. Anyhow I decided to do the OTA upgrade to 5.0...I was concerned something would go wrong unless I went to stock first, but I read that the only thing that would happen is root would be removed.
Anyhow, the tablet appears stuck while booting. I see the Google screen first with the unlocked indicator on the bottom. A few seconds later is the Android logo on its back, a red triangle over it with an exclamation point and "no command" written below". It stays that way for a minute or so, tries to reboot and goes back to the no command screen. I can't even power off, when I try to do so it just powers back on by itself and ends up at the no command screen again.
I tried booting into recovery (power, volume up, volume down). My options from here are either Start, Restart Bootloader, Recovery Mode or Power Off. Every option I choose leads to the No Command Screen (except power off, which powers off). No idea what to do from here.
Any help at all would be appreciated. As you can probably tell I don't have much experience with this and just wanted to go back to unrooted stock. If you have advice, please be clear. I can follow directions well enough, just don't have much experience here. Thanks in advance.
Same here, bootloop.
Same thing here. A seemingly short download of Lollipop (even though I have 50Mbs internet). Installation, reboot, and now it loops endlessly. I can get to the bootloader or into Download mode, but that's all. Recovery mode just reboots. I was rooted and had TWRP installed. Other than that, I was running stock 4.4.4.
I've rooted all my devices, and installed various ROM's on several devices. I have the full ADB installation. I have the Nexus Root Toolkit installed. The problem is, the device will not show up under "Devices" on the computer itself. I've installed every USB driver there is (and uninstalled each one after it does not work, so no I do not have several USB drivers installed). Of course nothing shows up using "adb devices" either. Nexus Root Toolkit also cannot find any devices. I've read everything on this subject I can find, and there are no answers out there. Anyone have ANY ideas??
Thanks
Guys, if your device is connected in fastboot (try "fastboot devices") then you can flash roms or recovery (and then flash rom) from there. There are multiple threads with the same problems out there which were fixed. E.g: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-10/help/bricked-t2948546
In my example, I flashed TWRP recovery from fastboot, then installed custom ROM from recovery (official ROM failed to install for some reason). Try this, it might help.

Go to Fastboot mode (pwr+both volumes), Than select recovery after a while an android with Exclamation mark appears which is a stock recovery screen. To access the stock recovery menu press and hold power than press one of the volume keys so the menu will appear. Than do a factory reset and clear caches. You can than reboot and wait for boot animation to finish (it wont take long this time) and you will boot.
If this doesnt work you can flash a stock factory image easily from fastboot again.

I also had the same problem... I followed these instructions and now my Nexus 10 can boot normally (it took a long time to boot).
Only problem is all my data was deleted.... stup*d f*cking sh*t!!!!!!!
I've successfully rooted my T-Mobile LG Leon, and I've successfully installed TWRP, but for the life of me, I can't get the phone to boot into recovery. I can RE-boot into recovery from TWRP manager, but I can't actually boot into it from a fully powered-down state. I've tried every combination of the power and volume buttons I can think of, and nothing ever works. Download Mode works, the factory restore menu works, but I CANNOT get into recovery. Is there a very specific set of instructions anywhere that I can follow?
EDIT: Okay, I finally figured it out: You need to actually select to do a factory reset, and it throws you into the recovery menu.
Yeah, it was because the stock recovery doesn't exist as a menu, when you're running stock and enter the adb command "adb reboot recovery" it will reboot to the "factory reset mode" and the actual file of this mode is stored on partition named "recovery". Choosing the factory reset option boots the custom recovery because it replaces the said " factory reset mode" and that's the trick.
You can access recovery from the powered off state by holding volume down and power on until you see the lg sign. Without letting go of volume down, depress on the power button before clicking it back in and holding both buttons in until you see twrp pop up.
If you reboot to recovery now, it''ll probally say secure booting error. Simply go to the Developer options and enable OEM Unlock and that'll make you boot to it
You boot in the download mode by holding the vol up 10 seconds and during this 10 seconds you insert the usb. The LG Leon brand screen will come on a minute then it will go into download mode. It says not to unplug until firmware is done updating. So I guess you should have your custom recovery or whatever before you do this. I have only got this far, and thusly it sits. All Dressd up with no where to go...haha

can't find "enable OEM" at all in developer options. have phone hooked computer, and on, it's sending and receiving. No OEM. Isn't there.
See, I'm trying to root this without using KingUser. Since I found that it was pretty easy to do from the very beginning with Samsung, and I just don't see any way to do it here. I can't get ADB Devices command to see the phone.

I got a good way to get it rooted with SuperSU. Ran a command window script I found out there. It worked and now I have SuperSU root. I also figured out how to get into recovery. It looks as though my phone is not the standard LEON that people are talking about here. It's got a few designations, and the T Mobile site advertises a Leon that seems very similar and is called by the name most are using..
Anyhow my LG Leon is designated as a H320. It also carries a v10 desiganation, v10b. The v10 is variable from a-h or a-i. It would seem that once it is updated to 5.1.1 android it gets upped, and becomes unrootable. Mine being a v10b was rootable, but it took me a while to get used to it, and make the command window work.
Unfortunately for me one of many things I tried before getting it rooted, was ADB fastboot. And since this told me to wait for too long, I pulled the plug on it and pulled the battery to get back into "normal" operations. Perhaps I should have waited, because after finding out a few things about the phone, I discovered the true way to get it into recovery:
The real way into recovery for my phone, is to (from power off state) hold the volume up, a few seconds, then plug the USB cable which is going to the computer into the phone. While holding the volume up until it comes to recovery. This will activate the recovery, (Now for me it activates that fastboot command line...and does nothing else). This was the bit of information I could have used from the beginning, that no one knows. All these places tell you to hold the power and volume up, and then let off power when the screen changes, but that never worked even once. You just hold the volume, and plug the USB from computer. This works.
For me it goes into a "FASTBOOT" header at the bottom of the screen that never changes.
I believe it does this because of my unsuccessful attempt to fastboot it before. And it does not have the right driver to get recognized in the computer. So I'm screwed as far as the recovery goes now.
It is rooted though. And it doesn't seem to have any alternate ROMS available anyways. so we're dealing with the loss of the recovery.
When I do try to use an app such as TWRP manager or CWM (ROM) Manager to reboot into recovery, I get a "boot certification verification -1" error instead of the fastboot line at the bottom of the startup screen and it boots normally from there. So many people asked about this "boot certification verification -1" and NO answers are available anywhere online. So that's where it stands for this phone right now.
Anyone know what driver I should use to get the thing recognized in the computer? I have downloaded a zipped fastboot tools, and it won't get recognized inside the driver manager as "android" only as "unknown device" so I can't use that route....I'm thinking about doing a factory reset to try to erase the fastboot attempt. That may not help though. Anyone?

I dunno, I have the H340AR, with this phones happens the same that with the Samsung Galaxy Ace 3, there are, 3G versions, 4G versions, regional versions, etc.. GA3 have 7275R, 7275B, 7272L, 7272T, I dunno, maybe if we could get a device tree for a H340 and an H320 we could make some TWRP and CM compiling, but I just can't figure it out how to make a device tree or even where to begin..
I successfully rooted my H340AR with Kingroot, it works like a charm. I haven't tried fastboot and I tried to install TWRP in this link https://dl.twrp.me/c50/ but I get that F error "Secure booting error". I guess I have my bootloader locked, so I'm trying to figure out how to unlock my bootloader.
I'm trying to contact with some developers and see if anyone can help me build a device tree.

Hi, I have that same phone H340AR LTE. I rooted it with Kingroot and also tried to use TWRP to gen into recovery and got that Security error. I only pulled out the baterry and turn it on again so it booted normally. I made a factory reset because I read that it could be a problem of OTA firmware update. Then I installed TWRP and BusyBox again and tried to get into recovery from TWRP option. When I did that, it showed up the Android lying in his back with a red triangle. I pulled a out the battery again and yes, it seems very dumb and simple but it worked and could reboot the phone.
However, I can't get into recovery from TWRP yet. I read that the problem with us not being able to unlock the bootloader(we don't have the OEM option) is because Leon has Lollipop 5.0.1 and OEM is for 5.1.1

lg leon h345 lollipop 5.1.1
This device has a locked bootloader. If you flash a custom recovery on it, it will not boot into recovery, but will report a security issue. You will lose all recovery functionality, including factory reset, adb, fastboot. If your phone fails to boot, you have a brick.
Hi folks, This is the first time I need help from this excellent forum.
Something weird happened. I was updating apps from Google Play and when Titanium (Pro version), came up my phone crashed. I'm not a total noob, Unlock, Root all of my phones. No I never flashed other ROMs
I've tried everything to unbrick my phone (Nexus 4, 5.1.1., unlocked and rooted, factory ROM).
Now my PC doesn't recognize my phone, it's stuck on boot screen, can't boot into recovery, (error 10), no Fastboot, no download mode, I can't do anything. I've unbricked my phones many times before. Can't install MTP device driver including other drivers. This one has me stumped. Been at this for 4 days.
Can't sideload. Power and other buttons don't work to boot into Recovery, Fastboot etc,
Obviously, can't do a "battery pull" on Nexus 4. Tried the 15-second power button trick to simulate battery pull and other button tricks. Can someone help?
I've searched the web for days, tried all the tricks.
Can someone help?
Cheers!
What buttons are you using for fastboot mode? What when you power it off, then while pressing volume down button, press the power button?

That's the thing. I've tried all the button combos. The problem is my PC doesn't fully recognize my phone so I can't access or push fastboot or ADB. It shows up in device manager but that's it, nothing else. The phone goes only as far as the boot animation and stays like that for days. I've soft bricked my other phones before but was able to repair them.
I get fastboot not found, ADB error 10. I've never seen anything like this. I also get an MTP driver error.
It got bricked by a Playstore app update then when Titanium backup pro came up, that's when it crashed???
I have a Nandroid backup on my pc but it's useless.
Thanx, I hope someone can figure this out. I'm running stock ROM, 5.1.1, unlocked and rooted.
I'm using Nexus Root Toolkit but can't push fastboot or ADB, because, like I said, it doesn't show in my computer???

Try using a friends windows laptop/computer and windows will most likely install drivers on it for you then use nrt to fix your phone from fastboot could also be a bad USB cable or bad USB port though

As far as I have seen, Nexus 4 can not be bricked You can even remove the bottom 2 screws to remove the battery, it is not so difficult (I can say that as I have replaced the battery, power button as well as back of the phone on multiple occasions)
Also try what @[email protected] has suggested.

I used platform-tools-v16 and Universal_Naked_Driver_0.72 to flash stock room and unlock bootloader... worked fine. Maybe this helps...
Hi, just bought a phone for my son secondhand, it's going to be sold again if I can't fix this! The phone was sold cheap as it had software issues (of course) so I figured I could fix these and get it going (install custom recovery, ROM etc). I'm slightly stumped at the moment, so maybe you can help me.
The phone's defaulting to the bootloader screen, lots of info on this but the key thing I noticed was that it says 'the device is locked status code: 2'.
Clicking 'start' takes me a 'warning unlocked bootloader screen' then it runs through the 'hello moto' startup screen and back to bootloader
Clicking 'recovery' - there is definitely no working recovery on it, I just a get the dead robot with 'no command' underneath.
Clicking 'Factory Mode' allows me so far through the startup (after the bootloader unlocked warning), and you can get so far through setting it up, but because the battery is so low (it's permanently on with the bootloader when plugged in) it never seems to charge up enough, and either way the screen freezes at or around the final setup steps and then it reverts back to bootloader. I thought if I got into developer options and security, I could enable the USB debugging, OEM unlock etc, but no go there.
I've installed Motorola USB drivers but it doesn't seem to be registering on the PC (Windows 10).
There is some suggestion on other forums (less reputable!) that the locked status code may mean the bootloader has been relocked, but this seems contrary to what the phone is telling me.
Any ideas welcome, thanks - it's a lovely phone, just not much use at the moment.

OK, some progress, I have now unlocked the bootloader, so have the UNLOCKED Status Code:3 which is good, unfortunately has not yet helped with my issues. I can't use ADB, but MFastboot tool is working, so can run commands from that (hence me getting to that stage). Tried reinstalling firmware, may try and do this again now bootloader unlocked....

I have now managed to flash stock firmwares using Mfastboot tool, but hasn't unfortunately fixed the boot up issues. However, I have now worked out how to access the recovery, by reading other posts on different Motorola phones:
boot to bootloader, power+vol down
in bootloader select recovery using the volume up/down buttons, press power button to select
phone boots into 'recovery,' showing the dead android with no command
at this point hold down the power and volume up, then release volume up but keep power held down
phones boots, by magic, into android recovery, where you can factory reset, wipe cache adb sideload and install from SD card
I now need to try and get a flashable recovery to sideload, as the attempts to flash it don't work for me. The OS I seem to be on is reteu 7.1.1, so I will try and go for a lower version, and see if that allows me to flash the custom recovery I desperately need.
But....things are improving slowly....:laugh:

I have now managed to flash stock firmwares using Mfastboot tool, but hasn't unfortunately fixed the boot up issues. However, I have now worked out how to access the recovery, by reading other posts on different Motorola phones:
boot to bootloader, power+vol down
in bootloader select recovery using the volume up/down buttons, press power button to select
phone boots into 'recovery,' showing the dead android with no command
at this point hold down the power and volume up, then release volume up but keep power held down

Never try to downgrade using stock firmware.

OK thanks, I read that, but didn't realise it was a thing....should I be able to sideload a custom rom using ADB?
Hey all, I recently flashed a new rom on my phone, which required me to factory reset my ticwatch I'm order to reconnect.
Upon doing to the first time, everything seems to have gone well, but had trouble connecting to the device. So I ran another factory reset. Since that one, I've been stuck in a boot loop.
I see the "device software can't be checked for corruption" screen for about 20 seconds, and then it vibrates, screen turns off, then I see the same screen again. And so on.
I tried letting the battery go to nothing and trying again, seems to be the same issue. I'm letting it charge and bootloop for now in case maybe I just don't have enough juice to make it through boot.
It is rooted, with custom ROM (followed a guide on this forum somewhere about half a year ago, was running great) and TWRP installed (at least it was, I've been unable to get to the recovery screen since the boot loop started). Cannot see it in adb ever in this process.
Anyone have any other suggestions? I remember the Samsung notes had a special USB tool that would bridge a couple pins to immediately go to recovery, is there a similar option here?
Can you get in usb mode,or fastboot or recovery maybe?There is solution..dont worry.I ghuess adb dont work,but you cant go to fastboot mode and boot twrp image and get in twrp recovery..in twrp recovery you need backup file..If you cant do that,we are going to another solution..
Yeah, I can't - via any combination of button holding - get into any booted mode. No recovery, no fastboot, nothing. If anything, some buttons seem to make it circle boot faster .

,Yeah tough situation,and when you connect it to pc in that "broken mode" -boot loop and open adb shell on pc ,comand adb devices or fastboot devices,does it show device?When you screwed boot and you have twrp there must be option to get in twrp.One trick more go to manage devices in pc find your device if unknown you right klick on it,update drivers,manually,and then choose android,then android adb install device.

I tried adb devices, but not fastboot devices, thanks for the idea, I'll give it a go.

Maybe it wont work,but if doesnt,we figure out something..Bootlop is not the end of your device..
No go on either command. Nothing shows up.
I'm half wondering if it's my battery at this point. I think I'm getting a new watch for Christmas anyway, so not a huge loss. But happy to keep trying if anyone else has any ideas.
