[Q] MAGLDR not loading

Some months back I installed Dynamics ROM v2.1.
Yesterday I wanted to flash the newest version 2.2 on my Omnia 7.
But I'm unable to enter the MAGLDR screen with volume down + power button + camera button.
It gives a faible vibration when it tries to enter the MAGLDR menu but the Samsung Omnia 7 logo just keeps standing there.
After a few seconds the logo disappears and reappears.
When I release the buttons the phone just loads the currently installed ROM.
Same with the Download mode; Although when holding volume up + camera button, then inserting the usbcable I'm able to enter download mode.
Anyone experienced this before?

Thanks Anaheiim,
I managed to install the MAGLDR v2 again with updating samsung usb drivers.
Altough it works, the only way I can get into the menu is:
- remove battery
- insert battery again
- hold volume down + camera button
- attach usbcable to phone
Then after pressing the back button I managed to get into the MAGLDR menu.
Without the USB cable I cannot get it to work, but at least it is working again.

I will give your ROM a go aswell. I think I did try one of your beta versions some time ago.
Can't recall the reason for switching back to dynamics, though.

I have sorted out what the exact issue is, the camera hardware button needs to be pressed really hard.
It seems to not always register when I press it.

[Q] Bricked lgp700 after flashing cm 11.0

Hello,
I am very new to rooting etc. I rooted my phone a few days ago, unlocked bootloader and tried to flash cm11.0 with rom manager (cwmg) following this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2521239
Unfortunately I didn´t understand the instructions well, so after wiping caches, instead of doing a full format I did a user data etc format (which i now think was a factory reset). Tried flashing, didn´t succeed.
Anyway, when I try to switch it on I only get the lg logo and then the batery charging thingy When I try to go to recovery mode with volume up power and menu button, my phone goes on a loop of lg and cyanomod logos untill infinity ( Have to take off the battery). Tried to use heimdall (as i have a mac) to flash kdz back to it, but phone was not recognized. On my pc tried the same, but again phone not seen. I can see it on my computer as an unrecognized external usb but cannot explore. Any ideas on what to do??
thanks in advance

As soon as you plug your USB into your phone, hold down the volume up (+) button and the power button and release them after holding them down for about 2 to 3 seconds. Then, install the USB driver for your phone with the LG Mobile Support Tool. Secondly, download and install the LG PC Suite program and last but not least, download the KDZ program. Install the correct firmware for your phone and make sure you select 'EMERGENCY' from the list on the top right of the KDZ program. Select your downloaded firmware file and start the program. If everything worked out, the program should crash after it's done and your phone should reboot. Disconnect your phone from the computer if it doesn't reboot and try to boot it up again.
You can find all of these programs along with tutorials on how they work by searching on either XDA or Google.

did forcing recovery/download work ?

the phone off usb in and buttons did it work ?

Actually didn´t work,I have drivers already, LG PC Suite program , and KDZ. Problem is my phone is not detected by pc, so kdz unzips and then says : phone not detected, with or without battery...doesn´t go into recovery mode with buttons, just lg and cyanomod logos...
I don`t know if this can b fixed.....How can you flash anything if it´s not detected....
I´ll give it a try again tomorrow, without trying to enter recovery mode....but tried lots of buttons combinations and wasn´t working

Press these buttons
volume +
,volume -
home button
together with the power button
release all buttons except power button when you get a vibration
release the power button immediately after the lg logo has appered
this should let you get in the recovery menu

Stuck in CWM Bootloop LG E610

Hello everybody. May I introduce myself: I am the noob of the day.
Today I tried to update the android version of my LG Optimus L5 aka E610 by following this guide:
androidteen. [cant post proper links as a new user] com/lg-optimus-l5-e610612-android-4-1-2-how-to-root-and-install-custom-recovery/[
And it worked! Yeah. But then I had the marvellous idea of letting my phone download an official update through the main settings.
And after that my phone shut down to reboot and I became captive to the everlasting limbo of Coldworkmod- Recovery.
Now, everytime I restart my phone I end up in the CWM-Recovery Mode. If I want to use one of the hotkeys to enter the download mode or to execute a hard-reset the display gets stuck on the LG-Logo.
Since I can use the CWM-Mode, I tried to fix the problem by "zip-flashing" some "exitrecovery.zip" from my external-sd-card. But nope, nothing happened. Then I thought- hey lets update CWM. And I was able to update Clockworkmod itself to version "v.6.0.4.7". But I still end up in the CWM-Mode after rebooting.
If anyone knows a solution to my problem, please I need your help, because I am not well versed in this world of cell-phone-dystopia.

you can solve your problem restoring stock firmware throught KDZ
but did you tried to flash a rom into cwm?for example if you have 6.0.4.7 you can try to flash cm11

Yes, I tried to flash Cyanogenmod 11. My phone says that the installation was sucessfull, but I'm still trapped in CWM.
And I KDZ doesn't recognize the phone, because I can't get into download mode.
=(

have you tried ?

cons: no root and no CWM

[Q] Stuck in boot-loop and recovery mode doesn't work on stock android

I have a Samsung galaxy note 4 with stock android. My phone shut itself off while I was listening to pandora, and when I tried to turn it back on, it got stuck rebooting.
It gets to the Samsung splash screen, and no further. Even when I try to enter recovery mode using volume up + power + home, the splash screen appears with 'RECOVERY BOOTING..." in the corner, but it just reboots again.
I have tried turning the phone off completely using the power button, then turning it on again. I have tried removing the battery, letting it sit, and trying to restart again. I have tried charging it to see if that was the problem, but it's not. If I use volume down + power + home, I can get to the custom OS options, but I have not rooted my phone, so I don't know what the 'continue' options does.
How can I get my phone working again?

Turn off the phone. Enter download mode instead of recovery (volume down + home button + power) and open Odin on your PC and under AP add your .tar file (via Sammobile) and hit OK in order to get stock Touchwiz on your Note 4 again.

hi
firstly ,
If you cannot "factory reset " in recovery ....then and if nothing else works ? and you don't want to take phone to service provider /Samsung service centre .............
last resort is to( but you have to know what you doing !!!!)
is to reflash your device /phone current stock ROM,(that you were on),with Odin /pc..laptop
If you are unsure "how to flash ?" i suggest to Google /search for an straight forward video ,on web /Youtube ?
if so and you can get into download mode ( phone off ,pull battery..... insert battery , volume down + power + home button ) When in download mode ,volume up again and follow normal procedure to flash your stock ROM with Odin
Remember ..that above to flash stock Rom with Odin ,you don't need root.
Also ,in your post above you refer i quote......
"I can get to the custom OS options, but I have not rooted my phone, so I don't know what the 'continue' options does"
i think what you actually mean that you can get into download mode ,???...................
and the volume up is when you" ready " to flash your device and connected to pc/laptop with Odin ...
Also make sure if you know how to reflash ..... that before reflashing with Odin ,you have ticked correct boxes in Odin( .....and how Odin works )
Bottom line ...if nothing else works ,
a reflash of your correct phone ( current stock ) Rom you were on ,should fix it .
good luck

Cannot enter recovery mode after updating CM13 nightly

Hey guys,
I feel totally stupid for writing this post but I'm actually out of ideas how to get out of my situation. Also I didn't find any comparable topic here on xda. So let's hope you can help me and a big thanks in advance!
First of all i have a flashed D802 running TWRP and CM13, which worked well the last weeks. I thought about updating to the todays nightly as it is already a few weaks since I did my last update. I downloaded the nightly via the CM downloader and started the installation with running phone. It rebooted into recovery mode and installed the nightly without any problems. After the installation was completed the phone automatically rebooted and this is where the problem starts.
I am stuck in "bootloop?" at the CM logo. It is not automatically restarting after a while but just loading and loading and nothing further happens. I am not able to enter the recovery mode via the factory reset (Pressing Vol Down + Power, releasing after the lg logo appears, pressing and holding the power button again).
This never happened to me and as I am not able to enter TWRP I am not able to install a previous release or a backup. What am I doing wrong this time and what can I do?
Thanks for your support!

have you tried flashing a stock rom?

Actually I don't really know how to do this when I'm not able to enter the recovery mode? Is there a certain way to do this?
In the meantime I managed to enter the recovery mode / TWRP via a mode I don't know how it is called. I pressed vol down + pw btn, released after the LG logo appeared and pressed vol up + vol down. I guess my userdata is deleted by now, which shouldn't be a big deal but I am getting redirected to the recovery mode. I tried to install the yet working CM13 nightly but it has the same problems now.
Now I have two questions:
Does anyone know which part of the system is broken now / which part I need to update in order to get my phone back to life?
Is the download mode working if my phone is rooted? I am able to enter this mode.

yes you can enter the download mode: turn down your phone, press and hold volume up button and connect the usb cable, release volume up when your screan shows dowload mode.
