Got a brand new vs980 from Verizon with stock OTA 24A on it. I rooted and then used the KITKAT 24A OTA FREEDOM file from this thread to try and install TWRP 2.7. It ran, asked me if I wanted to boot into recovery. I chose yes. It appeared to have worked fine. However, now my phone just gives me the ERROR: boot certification verify screen. I've tried to get into download mode, but it never makes it past the first screen (dots). It never makes it to the screen with the progress meter and the usb icon. It seems to be properly bricked. Is this thread my only hope?
C'mon guys, this is a crisis. On my way to work this morning i had to listen to the radio! Like, with commercials and stuff.
Any luck? My phone is doing the exact same thing. I can't get into download mode or fast boot. The LG sign pops up, the error flashes for less than a second in the upper left hand corner then the screen goes blank and does nothing else until I hold the power button for 10 seconds or power button + volume down key, then it just repeats the LG sign and message all over again. We're screwed brotha

I have a VS980 and I have an issue where I cannot get it to do anything. I spent all kinds of time looking through forum after forum to find an answer. Nothing has helped. The problem:
I try to get into Download Mode and I get the LG Security Error message and reboots and repeats. I plug in the USB cable without touching any buttons it powers up and loops. Going into recovery only gets me to the LG Rooted Hard Reset and nothing else.
I am at a loss as to what to do now. I see there are threads that say that it is easy to get the Security Error fixed but it requires the LG Support Tool but that tool does not recognize my phone cause it is constantly booting. Other threads tell me to get it into download mode but I get the security error and reboots. I can no longer get into fastboot. And I don't have a custom recovery that I can get into it seems.
I can power the phone off by holding down the power key and letting it reboot a couple of times and it turns off. Nothing else seems to work.
Any ideas?
Ever since receiving an OTA update a few days ago, my phone was never able to successfully reboot again. Instead, it does exactly this when I turn it on: Samsung logo appears when booting, then the At&t logo with the word "installing..." or "updating..." along with a loading bar at the bottom appears. The loading bar reaches 100%, but then it will say "update failed", and it reboots and the same process happens again. I've let the phone run on it's own for several ours to see if it'll ever snap out of the loop, but it just stays in the same never-ending cycle of constant rebooting and updating. My phone wasn't rooted and worked perfectly fine before the update, so I suspect something went wrong while it was updating. I tried pressing the home, volume, and power buttons in attempt to initiate a recovery boot and do a factory-reset, but nothing happens. And I've tried replacing the battery, SIM card, and micro SD card, but there's still no change. I still am, however, able to set it in ODIN mode, but I'm not sure what to do since I'm not techie/literate. Please help, I don't know how to get my phone properly working again.
Hey guys,
I have a rooted Note 3 from verizon on the hyperdrive rom. today I got a message from SUbinary (something like that) that there was an update and that I need to reboot to update. So I just clicked okay and my phone restarted. However since then I'm stuck in a boot loop with the blue message in the upper left corner saying "recovery loading.." with the note 3 white logo appearing. Then the phone vibrates twice and comes back to the same screen. I don't see the custom/lock picture like I used too. I've tried multiple times to take the battery out but no luck. I can't seem to actually enter the recovery panel at all. I've tried holding the home/power/volume up but it just starts the boot loops again. Not sure what to do. I just want to the phone to work but it seems like a hard brick?

If you soft brick then u can only access download mode and if you hard brick then you need an expert. The problem is that verizon and at&t have locked bootloaders. Safestrap recovery is usually used there.
Can you reflash safestrap recovery via Odin ?
This link might be helpful cause im not so used to safestrap only know the basics.

If you cant access the recovery and only download mode then you have soft brick and need to reflash stock firmware.
I have the ATT model g2. it was running android 4.2.2 and i rooted. i got an OTA notification yesterday so i unrooted it, and uninstalled busybox. and went ahead with the update. now, my phone does not turn on. you go to turn it on and the lg logo flashes for a second or two, then a black screen, if you look closely you can tell that the screen panel is still lit, but nothing shows up. It will not boot to download mode, and it does boot to the (stock LG recovery, i never had a custom recovery) recovery, but when i hit the power button 3 times to do the hard reset, i get the black screen again, and no boot. when i connect it to my computer, it gives me a bunch of popups saying that i need to reformat a drive before i can use it, somewhere around 15-20 of them? ive run out of ideas to fix it. any and all help is appreciated. would really like my g2 back, im back to my old phone which was a nexus 5 that has a terribly cracked screen, and i really like to get the g2 back rather than having to pay to get my screen replaced.
I recently purchased a Samsung S7 Edge for practically nothing that is bricked. I'm trying to fix it so that I can use it. I have some experience fixing phones, although I'm not having any luck here. The phone won't simply turn on as normal. The only time it does is when I hold the power and volume down button. It seems buggy when it turns on (screen doesn't display anything) and eventually loads an "Encryption failed" error. When attempting to boot either Recovery or Download, the phone will display the prompt about how it attempting to boot into recovery for about two seconds before the top quarter of the screen flashes white and completely shuts off. Any suggestions?
