FTM Mode and Bricked?? LS980 - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

FTM Mode and Bricked?? LS980 - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I've tried to hold off posting as long as possible and don't know what to search for to answer the question. I'll start from the beginning. I tried to flash a custom recovery after taking the OTA update to KK. I then rooted with IORoot and everything worked great. I used that Freegee app to try to flash TWRP 2.7 and it went into recovery, started flashing and then immediately rebooted. The Freegee app and other apps kept saying that I had the stock recovery even after multiple flash attemps. I then used the KK AutoRec tool because I thought that would allow for the custom recovery. After doing that, the phone was soft bricked and I was stuck in Fastboot. I used this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2477595 to reflash everything except PrimaryGTP because I couldn't figure out how to do the PrimaryGTP portion. That worked great and my phone would reboot, but it rebooted into FTM mode with NO software buttons on it. After multiple reboots FTM mode will not exit. Here is the log of the adb terminal commands

I then tried to flash stock TOT to start completely over because I thought that would work. This is the error I keep getting: (Picture below)
I then thought a factory reset would do the trick. I did that and it worked using the power button + Volume down method. It rebooted like normal as if it was completely stock yet the FTM mode is still on there. When I get into download mode and attach it into the LG Flash tool and that Firmware Update screen comes onto my phone, the box says:
Quote:
910K S0.0 AS0.0 B99 UHS
S U LG-LS980 04.4.2 Hrev_10
LS980ZVC_12
ROOTED
I have no clue where to go from here. Please Help

anyone know whats going on?

Just an update if this helps. I can make calls with the "Q-Slide" feature, but I still don't have software buttons. The phone activated just like it should have and it shows everything great and I have LTE but after multiple restarts it still goes into FTM mode and I can't exit the mode when the phone is off. I just so happen to get lucky and get into the setting menu and hit update PRL and activate, which activated LTE. So thats one step forward I guess. Does anyone know whats going on?? In the LG flash tools both the PID and IMEI read: NULL.

[Q] Bricked Razr M

I have a razr m. It came with stock JB. I safestrapped it. I later had an issue so i tried to fastboot it using DROID_RAZR_M_Utility1.10. It worked but then i got an error in fastboot. I tried RSD. I get an error failed flashing process. 1/19 flash partition "gpt_main0.bin" -> PHONE returned FAIL. When using the razr m utility i get "writing 'system'... INFOProtocol error (multiflash unexpected).

Any help? stuck in the same situation

bootloader is unblocked?

U have to decompress first with rsd and then extract happened to me but u r gonna need the fast boot files

Yep, if you can't get the utility to work, do through RSD itself. I've used the Utility three times in the last week, and have had no problems. Not sure why you're having issues.

i found a solution - my fastboot was outdated. This created a requirement for the windows version of the Razr M utility. RSD never worked for me

hi, can you tell me how you fixed this problem, im getting the error in rsd and when i use matt's razr m utility.

i cd'ed into the utility folder and ran the utility. If that doesn't work you can try opening the fastboot update file and manually sending the commands through fastboot.

From what I understand, you can edit the XML file inside the zip file and remove the line with got_main0.bin. Save it and it should install. No guarantees, that's just what I read.

i did that and it still gets the failure and same result, it reboots and i see the red M and it just goes black. a lil bit more info, I was getting fail on the maintance update, so i tried rebloated my phone, and it was still failing, so i did a restore using twrp from a backup, but the camera was force closing, so i did a system wipe using twrp and now i think i'm bricked. safe strap shows up but is disabled and gets no input. anyone can help?

Try manually flashing everything based on the files in the XML file and see where you get an error. Use the fastboot flash and erase commands based on lines in the XML file

What OS are you using on your computer to run the utility? Are you using the Motorola charging/usb cable? Have you tried a different USB port on your computer? Is your battery charged.

maybe your download file is corrupted ，try download it again , the toolbox should work under cmd mode, it's better than RSD
way.

hey guys. just wanted to come here to say that i had previously soft-bricked my 907, and using RSDlite in conjunction with the pertinent files from matt's utility (seems to need to be 1.20 ; 1.10 absolutely did not work) got my handset working again in like 10 minutes. additional details available on request, but essentially it was a matter of having the phone turned on in AP fastboot mode, plugged into a USB port, at roughly 90% power, and clicking "start" in RSD lite 6.14. JB 4.1.2 stock (i used the fb files from matt's 1.20 file, haven't really investigated whether or not this is a crucial detail). i was dealing with a totally useless phone during the moments leading up to this process having worked.

Motorol Moto G 2nd edition XT1608 UK - STUCK ON BLACK BACKLIT SCREEN

Hi all.
Had a moto g for a while and had no problems at all, until yesterday: WhatsApp crashed and said do I want to restore the history - I chose yes, and then it looked as if the app crashed, a black screen appeared
Turn the phone on/off and after the boot process has finished (android/motorola logo) the phone is once again stuck on the black screen -
Tried clearing the cache from the recovery mode , I've tried using fastboot and flashing the ROM back to 4.4.4 - but had absolutely no success
It was suggested to install ClockWordMod recovery or TWM, and I did this using fastboot, fastboot says it's complete and ok, but then everytime I go to recovery mode I have the lying down android saying no command, and the only place I can get too from there is the normal android recovery screen , I've tried reseting the factory defaults, clearing cache , but I can'#t get anything to work
Any help/advice is really appreciated - does anyone know why I cant boot into clockwork recovery after having flashed it successfully according to fastboot?
Thanks
Mark

You just can flash the factory firmware (stock) and relock the bootloader using mfastboot v2. It will fix this, I had this problem two times and the process above got me out of it. Also if first flash gives errors like partition and fallthrough, you will have to flash the commands once again. It will completely restore your device to normal.
Press thanks if this helps.

Ive been looking at fastboot/adb -I had tried flshing back to 4.4.4 using fastboot also tried recovery roms like twrm
I'm not really sure how to do what you describe above , I cant find the stock firmware....I need UK 4.4.4 -- the links i come across are always dead
iyou got a link?
thanks!

You don't need the files for UK. Files for any other country will also work. Here's a tool how to restore to 4.4.4, and there are the images for UK too, I just checked, the link is working. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2983295

But why you want 4.4.4 firmware, haven't you yet updated it to 5.0.2??
And if you want the factory firmware image for stock 5.0.2, it's here -> https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bzr0qvz6uRerOGRfOEptU2p0ZkU
and
also you'll first need to update your bootloader to lollipop then you're ready to go.

It's because your bootloader is updated and it cannot accept kitkat now and you will have to flash the 5.0.2 over this bootloader else you'll get these errors(black screen) again. Atlast what you need to do is to flash the stock 5.0.2 firmware via mfastboot v2 and you'll get back your device fully working.
These are the commands ->
Code:
------------------------------------------------------------------|
Moto G 2014 Stock 5.0.2 Restore Script
mfastboot.exe oem lock begin
mfastboot.exe flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot.exe flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot.exe flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
mfastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
mfastboot.exe flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot.exe erase modemst1
mfastboot.exe erase modemst2
mfastboot.exe flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot.exe erase cache
mfastboot.exe erase userdata
mfastboot.exe oem lock
mfastboot.exe reboot
------------------------------------------------------------------|
And if the link I provided doesn't work then try searching for these two files
1. Motorola Moto G 2014 Stock 5.0.2 Factory Firmware
2. mfastboot v2
You can easily get that on XDA, after you download, just unzip the firmware file in the mfastboot's folder and then in cmd flash above commands.

If last time, on your phone, you used Lollipop, then it's 5.0.2 and if KitKat then it's 4.4.4, simple.
And you'll need mfastboot2

turns out the problem could be more than i thought..when i try to wipe user data/clear cache i get failed errors on the phone
..while it says the phone has been flashed successfully it never works
i guess this has something to do with the fact cant erase user data/clear cache
other people have had the same issues and no fix reported beyond getting a replacement

what errors are you getting now...
are these (failed to validate system image/ fall-through from normal boot)??
If these are the errors you will have to re-flash the commands given above(as I told you in previous post).
I had same problem twice yet, and fixed by this process, so I can make you sure that you too should try again, and report the news here. I am here to help you.

Try using fastboot to boot philz cwm temporarily.
Fastboot boot Phil'srecovery.IMG
(or whatever its named)
Then use philz to format your partitions. Assuming twrp is installed already, Reboot to enter twrp. then use twrp to format partitions. Install ROM.

I cant mate, everytime I install it it says successfu;l but when i reboot its not there..I think there's a problem with the motherboard oe eeMC memory as when i try andwipe user data/cache it comes back saying failed
so I guess it cant write to the storage which is why i cant get TWRP to work
any ideas what to do here? fastboot says everythings worked..but clearly hasn't as cant get into TWRP or CWM even tried flashing stock sand nothing..but fastboot - w shows errors
reading on here people suggest its to do with the eeMC, itsa almost like the storage is set to read only

Did you try booting into philz with the command I gave you yet? Doesn't install, just boots the recovery image.

I'll try that in a minute just grabbing the Philz recovery image
hope this works

YotaPhone2 206 stuck on Powered by Android logo SOLVED

Since yesterday my YotaPhone 2 bricked. It is YD206, bought from China. I did nothing special - AlwaysOnDisplay kind of hanged up (with some artefacts on it ) and after I went to reboot it just went into boot loop. It was with marshmallow (I bought it that way - used). I tried power and vol+ - it just continues to restart and shows Powered by Android pic. Now I can only put it in download mode (power and vol-). Tried to flash it with yota-flash and 4.4.3-S01-003-CN1.0.3.32a.zip firmware - no success. Everything went just fine, but it reboots again shows powered by Android and in some time phone reboots and shows the same. I succeeded to load TWRP Recovery (twrp-v5.img). I wiped it out - no change at all. I tried to flash the system.img with different sizes - still no luck.
Guys, I'm really stuck here, so any help is appreciated! Cheers

I think, I'm experiencing the exact same issue with my YotaPhone YD206. It was on the 5.0.0-RU-1.1.134 firmware before the blackout happened.
This is a description of the issue on my side. Could you please confirm if it is the case with yours? I read many threads but found no solution.
The EPD display is stuck on the same screen from the weather widget.
After powering off the device, it shows the "Powered by android" logo and ends in an endless bootloop (auto-restarting each 10 minutes).
The phone can be put into the "Downloading Mode" without problem, and fastboot can also detect it:

Would you like to flash userdata[Y/N]:

First of all 10x for your reply!
1>>> AlwaysOnDisplay of my phone stuck on a page of a book I was reading.
2>>> Same here: After powering off the device, it shows the "Powered by android" logo and ends in an endless bootloop
3>>> Yes, the phone can be put into the "Downloading Mode" without problem, and fastboot can also detect it:
4>>> All flashing attempts went without any error. I tried with CN, RU and APC fimwares. Tonight Im gonna try with HK. I even tried manually to flash every partition with fastboot (https://forum.xda-developers.com/yotaphone-one/help/y2-bootloop-to-recovery-t3509883) - still the same result. Tried to install the official Marshmallow through TWRP - no luck at all. Tomorrow gonna open the phone and disconnect the battery for a while - will post here what the result is.
The interesting part is that installing TWRP is not possible on all firmwares uploaded on a phone. It works for sure with 4.4.3-S01-003-CN1.0.3.01a
Cheers!

Hi and thanks for your reply!
By the way: Are you able to boot it into recovery? Mine can't.

C:\Program Files (x86)\yotaphone_flasher>fastboot.exe boot twrp-v5.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.497s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.020s]
finished. total time: 0.517s
After that it loads TWRP 3.2.0 by itself.
Note that with my phone it works only with CN firmwares. Right now with 4.4.3-S01-003-CN1.0.3.32a). Best regards!

No luck again - I disconnected YP2's battery for some time, but the phone still acts as before. I plan to test all available CN firmwares and to use 'fastboot -S' command for system.img with 512M chunks and 256M chunks. Will let you know if there is any progress. Cheers!

I've run out of ideas and I'm thinking about to return it to GearBest.
Thanks anyway for the updates and the work!

Hi guys, as far as I remember when playing around with flashing my yotaphone is that sometimes it makes a difference if you first erase and also that the yotaflasher tool does not always do this completely correctly.
So sadly it is better to understand what is going on, then do it yourself and tweak it until it works.
I used my own scripts so I could control what was being flashed instead of having to always flash everything.
So try extracting the firmware yourself and then flashing every part with an executable bat file.
Userdata should be erased also to make it work, so try to get a backup for that first if you can.
here are the scripts that I used:
To make this work, you need to extract the zip file manually to the firmware folder of your yota_flasher folder and put the bat script also in the yota_flasher folder.
Code:
fastboot.exe flash modem firmware\radio\NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot.exe flash modem firmware\radio\NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot.exe flash rpm firmware\radio\rpm.mbn
fastboot.exe flash rpm firmware\radio\rpm.mbn

fastboot.exe flash persist firmware\persist.img
fastboot.exe flash persist firmware\persist.img
fastboot.exe flash cache firmware\cache.img
fastboot.exe flash cache firmware\cache.img

Edit: fixed some badly copy pasted edited code
Edit: Changed code to flash most files 2 times just to be sure.

10x for the reply, but I still have no luck. YotaPhone continues to act like a brick. All of bat file commands end with status OKAY, still phone goes into boot loop. Just one little correction:
Code:
fastboot.exe flash aboot firmware\recovery.img
should be:
Code:
fastboot.exe flash recovery firmware\recovery.img
Cheers mate!

Which firmware have you tried and where did you get it?
and I also added a line to erase the cache
Code:
fastboot.exe erase cache
you did that too right?
And regarding recovery, with marshmellow with twrp ( found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70206915&postcount=49), i noticed that you have to release the power button when the phone shows the android logo while still holding the vol-up until it goes into recovery. So procedure is to reboot the phone by or while holding power+vol-up buttons and then release the power button when the android - text shows but keep holding vol-up.

Thanks guys!
Same here. All of fastboot commands end with status OKAY (including erase cache), but the phone still stuck at boot.
I tried with the Chinese firmware, version: 4.4.3-S01-003-CN1.0.3.32a, which I downloaded from ftp://fw.ydevices.com/ while the site was still alive.

Well I think the only option is to try another one.
Here is one link with all roms: https://forum.xda-developers.com/yotaphone-one/general/firrmware-files-one-files-onedrive-t3633138
unfortunately you have to download them all together :/.
Here I uploaded the chinese firmware files that are working for me(, i just tested):
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_Z57M1pKWRubG1ycDk1aVJuWXM

One more important thing. Try doing:
Code:
fastboot.exe oem unlock
It seems that the phone gets relocked when flashing probably the boot.img(not sure about that).
AND try running every flash command twice! For twrp recovery for example, it did not work until I ran it twice without restarting. Strange stuff.

Still no luck - I tried with tomgaga's firmware, erased the cache, replaced script for flashing tsg with a one that flashed rpm. The phone still goes into boot loop. I tried tomgaga's advice about pressing vol+ & pow and when 'Powered by Android' logo appears to let go pow - all that in order to enter recovery mode. It jsut keeps rebooting with 'Powered by Android' logo. Still with all CN firmwares I can load twrp recovery image.
I have to say how happy I am that you guys participate in that thread and keep it alive. I have no doubts that in the end we will succeed unbricking this wonderfull phone. Cheers

One more thing - when I try with command:
Code:
fastboot.exe oem unlock
phone just reboots in that well known 'Powered by Android' bootloop. I guess it have to do something - maybe show 'Your OEM is now unlocked' or something. Best regards guys!

Ok this might sound stupid, but could you for certainty check that your buttons are functioning correctly by booting some normal recovery using fastboot and then see if vol up, down, and power work consistently as expected.
And when you say it goes into bootloop, do you mean that it shows the yotaphone animation for a while first?

Hi guys,
same behaviour here for:
Code:
fastboot.exe oem unlock
It reboots and nothing happens after 'Powered by Android" logo.

Booting into recovery via fastboot also not possible. I don't think that the buttons are defect. At least booting into "Downloading mode" is possible.

For my device, it means that it shows the very first "powered by android" logo, no Yotaphone animation. After 5-10 minutes it reboots and this happens continuously, till battery runs out.

How to you try to get into recovery using fastboot? And what happens then?
And you can also try flashing the russian lollipop firmware:
I uploaded it here:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_Z57M1pKWRuSm5LTXhBYzJfS00
it includes the hybrid modem by default, but the russian and chines radio files are included too.

And one more thing, it seems I did not include a line to flash the persist partition, for me it worked without, but you could to try that too:
Code:
fastboot.exe flash persist firmware\persist.img
fastboot.exe flash persist firmware\persist.img

Hello,
did you solved this problem?
I have the same problem as you. Only "powered by android" and restart. Power and - button ->downloading, power and +button -> nothing
The EPD display is stuck on the same screen from the yota reader, bootloap every 10 seconds. Between every restart lcd display flash with blue color.
I didnt make any firmware upgrades or anything else with software, phone didnt fall down...
Thanks for help

Unlocked bootloader Phone stuck in bootloop

I successfully unlocked my bootloader last night. I went through the process of patching the img file through magisk to root and flashed it via fastbooot. I have been stuck in a loop since. I can still get into fastboot. I have tried Smart Assistant and RSD but they wont detect my phone.

You need to wipe everything with fastboot commands. Then flash stock again. Also there's no need to do any of that anymore to get root. Just flash the latest magisk in TWRP next time.

Thank you for the reply
Should "Fastboot erase" wipe it all out?
do you know where I can the correct stock room for XT1962-1?

Extract all files from stock zip and run flashall.bat file at command prompt with phone connected in bootloader mode. This will flash and erase all to correct retail stock at Lolinet mirror
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/river/official/RETAIL/

Flashall.bat file
Extract into adb folder (same as all files in stock zip file)

Install TWRP and then flash Magisk 20.2 and Magisk Manager APK

While patching the boot.img for your first installation, did you choose "Preserve force encryption" in "Advanced Settings"?

Razer phone 2 MR3 build posted on dev site

MR3 build as posted
https://developer.razer.com/razer-phone-dev-tools/factory-images/

These instructions assumes that you have platform tools and the Google ADB drivers installed. If you need instructions for that, look here:
Google ADB Drivers & Androind SDK Platform Tools instructions
To do an upgrade/dirty flash do the following:
Extract the Zip, If you dont want root, skip to step 8
Copy boot.img to you phone
Open Magisk Manager app and Install > Patch Image
Copy "magisk_patch.img" from your phone's Downloads to the folder you extracted the ROM to.
Edit/Copy the flash_all.bat (or .sh on Linux/Mac)
Find the lines 54 & 55 with:
Code:
%fastboot_cmd% flash boot_a boot.img
%fastboot_cmd% flash boot_b boot.img
Change them to:
Code:
rem %fastboot_cmd% flash boot_a boot.img
rem %fastboot_cmd% flash boot_b boot.img
%fastboot_cmd% flash boot_a magisk_patched.img
%fastboot_cmd% flash boot_b magisk_patched.img
Find line 71(73 if you did the steps above) with:
Code:
%fastboot_cmd% erase userdata
Change it to:
Code:
rem %fastboot_cmd% erase userdata
Save the batch script file
Reboot your phone and hold the 'Volume Down' button until your phone boots into "Fastboot Mode"
Run flash_all.bat or what ever you named it, It will reboot your phone twice, the second is when it is done and booting into android.

They finally did it LOL.
Hope Android 10 or even 11 on their update roadmap.

ah! finally I can upgrade without losing all my data.

No luck...
seems like it didn't like the replacement for the magisk_patched.img
went back to fastboot mode, flashed MR3 without root, basically skipped to step 8 directly, that worked well.
booted into OS in like 15 sec.
it kept all my data, nice.
Now I need to figure out how to root it again, so i can keep using Titanium Backup and many other Apps that only works with root.
*** after a while ... ***
Alright
flashed latest R14 arter97 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/razer-phone-2/development/arter97-kernel-razer-phone-2-t3914996) kernel img to boot a and boot b
this gives me access to TWRP
picked up latest version of Magisk https://******************/
booted to TWRP
flashed Magisk root.
now I'm back in business with Titanium Backup, etc...

Hi!
I just wanted to share my experience performing this steps.
I dirty Flashed. In short, everthing worked, with a minor hiccup. After rebooting the first time, it said encryption unsuccessful, so I rebooted to TWRP and flashed f2fs_fstab.zip and vold_mod_arter97.zip that I had copied before to the phone (not being sure if I'd need them), rebooted and everything worked!

I see a bunch of errors like:
"Flashing is not allowed for Critical Partitions"
or
"Erase is not allowed for Critical Partitions"
are those normal errors?

Yes, it happends when the partitions are locked for flashing, you should be able to unlock them with the following command.
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
I didn't had to do this for these steps to work for me though.
Cheers.

is there a changelog for the new mr3 build?

Hello everyone,
I tried to dirty flash it easily through fastboot (flash_all) as per razer instructions and now I seem to be stuck in a quasi-boot loop.
Devices reaches system and after two seconds it pops the window "Power off - shutting down" and it reboots. After rebooting, I get a similar to bootloader interaction saying that boot failed and that i should wipe userdata, which I do, with no effect.
Sometimes, after I tried flashing MSR2 and 1, i get an interaction saying that android.process.acore stopped working and then it powers off.
Safe mode didn't help either. Any suggestion? I need to RMA this one for a screen issue and I wanted to wipe everything installing the system from scratch, I don't think that they will accept it as is.
Thank you for your help!

Safe mode didn't help either. Any suggestion? I need to RMA this one for a screen issue and I wanted to wipe everything installing the system from scratch, I don't think that they will accept it as is.
Thank you for your help!

I was flashing those, but none of the recent ones worked. I had to flash the very first release, 8.1 MR0 (litterally tried all of them backwards).

Unable to get to fast boot
If not in the right location please direct me. I'm at quite aloss I've been extensively reading the forums to root my razer phone 2. I cannot get windows 10 to recognize the phone in fastboot in cmd prompt while in bootloader, it will recognize the phone while it's on and adb works. Once I give the command for adb reboot bootloader it has the phone reboot to boot loader but fastboot won't detect. I've tried updating the drivers and it still shows android with the question mark circle. I know it must be something simple I'm overlooking. Please can anyone assist?

I've had this same issue. I think it's something with Windows 10 Update 2004. What I ended up doing was getting a usb drive and making a boot disk with FWUL on it. Which makes a live linux disk with all the tools you need.
