[Q] Potentially bricked phone - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys.I am writing here cause i am in need of help.
I got a Lg g2 from a guy that seems tried to root the phone but didnt finish rooting.The problem for me is that i cant assign any google account to my phone.I tried new accounts,existing,tutorials about hosts files editing with root explorer and so on.Root explorer gets stucked when i try to open hosts file in text editor so i cant do this.I tried flashing new rom but when i enter download mode it automatically turns on some update which : says "Firmware update" and the percentage doesnt move at all for hours.I have installed superuser installer app which i cant remove from the phone and i think that has something to do with my problems(not sure tho).It cant get the rooting finished through twrp cause it says that files are missing and obviously i cant use the google play option cause i cant assign any account in my phone.I tried factory reset several times and it didnt work.Also tried to delete superuser installer with root explorer but it got stucked again and closed.
Please help me fix my phone!
Regards

Try TOTing back to stock and starting all over again.

Root and Lag Fix Problem

Ok, so I rooted my phone yesterday via "one-click root" and worked like a charm. I deleted alot of bloatware and used info in a thread here in the forums as far as what to remove (Kindle, MobiTV, Amazon Mp3, etc But I also wanted to do a lag fix. I came across a guy that had a lag fix that I wouldn't have to use a pc for that was just a update.zip file that I would install. I followed his YouTube video step by step and had NO problem all the way up until I rebooted my phone. When I did so, my boot animation disappeared and my phone went BLACK! I contacted him and he had me clear user data and sd files and clear cache from the recovery screen. Now when I try and start my phone everything boots up but when I get to my homescreen I can't stop getting Force Closes and this is what the messages say:
----------
Sorry!
The process android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. dumpstate_app_201008310134_android_process_media.log has been saved. Use *#9900# to copy out log.
----------
AND when I try to open the Web it says:
----------
Sorry!

----------
And same for Gmail App when I try to open it.
And they won't stop popping up. Barely long enough for me to open ANY apps.
I don't know much about rooting yet but I know I probably need to re-install firmware or something that includes ALL the bloatware including the apps I removed with my Root Manager. I just need advice or a solution or something because its deffinatly making me mad!
Thanks for all your help!

i had that exact same thing happen to me, but that was when i tried to revert back to non-lag fix. something errored out during the uninstall and i got exactly what you got, a ton of fc's. my solution was i flashed my phone back to factor stock using odin.
probably other solutions, but i chose the cleanest route, maybe not quickest.
Not sure if you would have enough time but you could try Fix Permissions on the Rom Manager app if you have it. If not you could try ADB pushing the APK and maybe you could open it before all the FC's. I have had that help before, but like said above quickest and easiest will just be to start over. Apply the lag fix first this time (you were probably already thinking this ) they seem to work better that way without any of these problems. For me at least
I have no idea where to start! I am brand new to this rooting stuff so I am LOST! REALLY lost! What is the first step for me? Do you know of anyone who can walk me through this?
It appears that more than one lag fix was applied. Start from a clean rom and start again.

S7 Edge AT&T Root Problems

I've tried various root methods without success, last one worked BUT was unable to access the play store, "my files" section or the basic package installer, making it imposible to disable the knox security log for the notification issue and everytime I successfuly root it I can install busybox, supersu and root checker but beyond that I am unable to proceed further. When I restarted the phone it stays stuck in the att boot logo while vibrating from 2-3 times on a loop.
From that point on I have to wipe memory/cache and start all over again...
I Started up the phone without supersu but even that it has factory reset, there is lag from the phone.
anyone help?
I'll post device info
there's also a problem I found myself trying to fix the first problems after rooting it was a "dm-vareity verification" problem, son't know if I spelled correctly but that was basically what it said
Thanks In Advanced. :laugh:

Google Play Services crashing

Hello,
I have a T-Mobile LG V20 first off.
I installed TWRP and had to wipe the device to get rid of the encryption thing, so it would work properly. I flashed SuperSU back on and restored my phone with TitaniumBackup. Ever since then I am unable to play any music and when I try Google Play Services crashes.
I have tried clearing the app's cache, all data and installing the latest APK. Nothing is working, please help.
I also tried this method but it says the file is corrupt, maybe that is the issue.
"I have got an alternate method who have rooted their phone. Install ES explorer (or any file manager with root permissions). Go to device/system/priv-app/gmscore.apk. install the gmscore.apk. this solved my problem which even persisted after a hard reset also."
I would post this question in the root thread. (That is if you used jcadduono method to root your phone)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/h918-recowvery-unlock-v20-root-shell-t3490594/
I just added it to that thread. Do you have any idea about it?

Phone still saying rooted after putting stock firmware on

So I rooted my phone following information on this site/a video guide from youtube (I dunno if I'm able to post links but I can PM if you need to see what it had me do etc) so I did a fresh root with TWRP, RMM bypass, no-verify encryption, magisk. All worked great the phone was rooted etc, I then stupidly removed google play services to try get an early date APK which caused issues so I thought a wipe with TWRP would fix the issue but the startup wizard wouldn't work, so I then removed startup wizard via TWRP got back into the phone and put the new version of play services on, yet still had issues so I got the default firmware for my model at samsmobile and put it on via odin - all worked great phone booted fine etc but some apps said a boot was detected, so I made sure to go into developer options and make sure the OEM was locked, did a wipe via the default options when holding power>bixy>up however some apps still say the phone is rooted.. I checked with a rootchecker and I pass the safety and it says no boot detected. So I dunno what the problem is? The only thing I did see was when I did the wipe this came up
"remove failed dir '/system/carrier/ATT/priv-app/AttIqi_ATT' (no such file or diectory)
e:[libfs_mgr] is_dt_compatible(): firmware info was not valid: '/proc/device-tree/firmware/android/compatible: no such file or directory"
Really dunno what to do from here.
