Ohh, where to start. Ok so first off let me apologize in advance if this has already
been posted but I’m a noob when it comes top posting in the forums. Been using
them for years to fix my problems just new to posting. Anyway, a few nights ago I
tried to flash the newest version of the T-Mobile AOKP rom (Kit Kat 4.2.2) onto my
AT&T I337 Samsung Galaxy S4 via the latest version of TWRP recovery. After
attempting to flash AOKP, TWRP failed the flash and had an error message that said
something about the phone not being able to flash a T-Mobile rom on an AT&T
phone. I then tried to flash the AOKP rom again and mistakenly flashed the Loki
kernel instead. I was currently running Cyanogenmod 11. After the Loki kernel
attempted to flash, it once again said failed and gave me a message that said
something about me losing root and asking if I wanted to reinstall superuser. I
agreed to reinstall superuser and used the option to reboot my phone once it was
complete. But….once the phone attempted to reboot my screen went black and all
my phone would do is vibrate every two to three seconds with a blank screen. I
pulled the battery, tried to put it in recovery mode, and download mode but nothing
worked at all. It wouldn’t charge, no battery icon, no LED. After messing with it for a
few hours and randomly pushing buttons I finally got it to go into download mode. I
was so happy. I decided I would flash (Odin) a stock firmware that I had already had
and used plenty of times. But…after flashing Odin would say complete and pass but
when my phone would reboot it done the same thing as before. Black screen and
vibrates every two to three seconds wont charge, no battery icon, no LED, still won’t
go into recovery mode but will still go into download mode. I’ve used every version
of Odin, used different USB ports, different USB cords, reflashed the stock at least
20 times now and still nothing. What have I done and how could I fix this issue. :crying:
Ohhh and before I forget, It may be worth mentioning that when I finally got it in
download mode I noticed it said that I had the stock Samsung firmware, where it
usually says custom when rooted.
I'm assuming you're on MDL firmware. If so Odin flash the stock firmware. You can get it at sammobile.com
You're probably hosed though, sounds like you've tried all this.
Doesn't work

First observation: nothing here says that he fixed it. If he did, which may not have happened, then he obviously didn't tell us.
I wonder if you really have the same issue. Did you read through the OP? Did your phone get where it is by doing the exact same sequence that he did? If not, and you want someone to help, you will need to give a detailed description of everything that led up to the issue you have, from the time the phone was operating normally. It would also be helpful to know what your phone was running before this happened.

So I'm really into Android developing, I'm always flashing and installing etc, but I got a problem now.
Phone information
LG G2 D802
Rooted
TWRP Recovery 2.7.0.0
Was running 4.4.2, found a kdz file on the internet and flashed it (no regular update from my phone)
What happenedI actually did something stupid, I received an application update from the LG Download Center (or whatever it's called) on my phone and clicked on it. I was planning on flashing Android 4.4.2 again because my firmware was not stable, and I thought this update could help me.
But no, after it finished downloading, I automatically booted into recovery.
What I didSo I tried to reboot and enter my OS, but unfortunately, I was stuck in recovery.
I did everything I could, wiping (Dalvik) cache, factory reset, flashed a new rom, restored Nandroid backup, but no, every time I booted, I got back into recovery again.
I only saw 1 option left, booting into download mode and flashing a new firmware.
I found the Netherlands 16GB kdz file for Android 4.4.2 (because I had a French one first), the one I was looking for.
Looked all over the internet, and all guides pointed me to this guide.
Tried it, but I got multiple errors, one of them was that my phone was not connected while I was at 15% of the flash process.
What happenedAfter that first flashing process, I booted up, but got a Security Error. After the Security Error was showing for 5 seconds, my phone shut down. This is happening every time I try to boot up.
I couldn't access my recovery anymore, nothing. Edit: I can access my recovery right now, and I tried this, but when I boot up I get the Security Error again.
The big problem right now is the Security Error! How do I bypass that?
So can someone please help me out!
Several phones/tablets of mine bricked and I always found a way to get out of it, but not this time, unfortunately...

Yes, I actually have. Didn't mention it, but after I did that I booted and got an LG logo and below it was a text that said 'Security Error' After like 5 seconds the security error goes away and my phone shuts down. I can only enter download mode right now.
I'll edit my first post with this info.
Thanks for the help though!
Edit: I find a way to access my recovery again because at first I couldn't but I figured out that the code in the thread you linked was a bit different than the code I entered at first.
So I used the code you gave me, but now I get the Security Error again!
Hi mate, just like you i downloaded that damn OTA today and messed up my phone, but in my case was because i had totally forgotten it was rooted and had custom recovery installed :silly::silly::silly::silly:
I followed this tutorial to fix the boot secure error http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 and it worked like a charm except for download mode wasn't working at all.
After doing some research i found this post http://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...ricked-lg-g2-stuck-twrp-no-download-mode.html and got download mode (apparently) working again but Windows didn't recognize it at all so i couldn't use it to flash the .kdz stock firmware.
In the end i just flashed a custom aosp rom and got my phone back to life but the download mode issue it's still there and it's bothering me quite a lot.
Any suggestion is welcome.
EDIT: Don't download the recovery from the post, instead look for the latest version (2.7.0.0) because the one posted there (2.6.3.2) might corrupt your partitions

Thanks! But does my internal storage get whiped? Will all my pictures etc. be gone?
And the first thred removes the security error right? And after that I can just boot into recovery mode (I can boot in recovery btw) and flash a new rom? Just wanted to know this so I don't go through all that trouble for nothing
Edit: You know I can enter both download and recovery mode right?

Nope internal SD remains intact, basically what you'll be doing is pushing the right files into the system partitions and yes, in theory you should be able to flash a new rom.
Even if you can boot into recovery you should do it if you're getting that error, and after that you can just push a ROM file to flash (i'll assume you know how to do it) and btw let me know if you decide to flash a stock based rom instead of an aosp like i did.
Good luck with that :good:

Perhaps you might consider sending it in to lg if you still have warranty. But I'd you don't, there are services on eBay/ Craigslist that can help you.

Okay, I've searched the forum for several hours but there's just too much here to make sense of.
My phone is a SM-G900W8 brought home June 19 this year.
Stock Lollipop 5.0 pre-installed.
Code:
Baseband version: G900W8VLU1BOC1
Kernel version: 3.4.0-4100894
Build number: LRX21T.G900W8VLU1BOC1
SE for Android status: Enforcing, SEPF_SM-G900W8_5.0_0002
KNOX version: 2.3
Rooted using CF-Auto-Root (this file), Custom recovery is Philz Touch 6.57.8 klte.
Both of these were in place early on and haven't caused any problems.
Everything was working perfectly fine until last night, when I tried this trick (in first post), rebooted, and now I'm stuck at the splash screen.
Nothing gets me out except a battery pull.
I've tried:
Button combo volup - home - power to go to recovery; this does nothing from the splash screen (actually even pressing and holding down power does nothing), and after a battery pull it won't boot into recovery either.
Booting into download mode (success! yay!) and using Odin to re-flash Philz recovery. Reboot doesn't go into recovery, as stated above.
Just waiting, at various points in the process (while in splash screen, while turned off) to give a chance for things to happen if they just needed time.
So now I'm able to get into download mode and use Odin but from there I don't know what to do next. Flash the bootloader? Okay, but there are so many links...which one do I use? Of all the specs I've gathered, why didn't I find that out?
Can somebody help me please?
[EDIT: Solution and links, for SM-G900W8 users who might be looking for help]
I finally managed to boot into recovery by leaving the USB cable connected to the computer while pressing volup+home+power, a last-ditch trick found in deanr1977's very helpful thread "Read before flashing a Rom (Tips for new & old)"
Links to the firmware for this specific model can be found here, or if you just need a piece:

factory reset. Then flash stock rom. if you cant boot into recovery try the latest twrp. It works if its still not working then flash stock firmware from SAMMOBILE with odin. it will work then
Thanks for the reply. The problem I'm having is knowing where to download the files I need to flash - because there are so many threads here for so many different models of this phone. Believe me, I've looked, and keep turning up everything BUT W8
I'm tired and frustrated and need my phone functional - can you point me to a post or a thread with the latest version of TWRP that I can flash with Odin?
[edit] Sorry about that - I found the thread. I'll give that a shot and see what happens.

Latest twrp from https://twrp.me/
Philz recovery from https://mega.co.nz/#!oVNz0T6C!VII47M...MpQIN2b-PEUYN8
Best Stock firmware 5.0 BTU from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/44413/G900FXXU1BOC7_G900FOXA1BOC7_BTU/
Enter download mode and Flash either one of the recoveries and Clear dalvik cache, clear cache, format system, format data and then factory reset. After that boot into odin mode directly and flash the Stock Firmware.
note: in Odin uncheck "auto reebot option" and after flashing recovery when the odin shows its done wait 1 minute disconnect usb and pull out battery then turn it on if your phone says "Recovery is seandroid enforcing" wait for 3-4 seconds it will go away and recovery will boot up.

Now, I just want to check: this is for the G900F; will it make a huge difference to my phone? Can I restore my data directly from the backup? I thought what I needed is the exact stock rom that was installed on this phone when I got it so I've been looking everywhere for the G900W8 firmware. I do intend to play with tweaked ROMs in future, but today's not that day.
Finally managed to boot into recovery after flashing TWRP - read a tip somewhere about doing the keypresses while connected to PC via USB. Currently running a nandroid backup before moving on to all the wiping/formatting steps - at least then if something else goes wrong I've got the latest data. :victory:

i am sorry the tools i mentioned are for 900f model. Here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900W8/ you can find firmware for G900W8. Just factory reset format dalvik cache, cache , data and system and flash your stock firmware in recovery. There are many different firmwares available with the exact bootloader and modem but they are carrier specific. I don't know which carrier you are on (if any) so just go through the list and download the firmware you were on, flash it. I will highly recommend you to backup your EFS and modem folder aswell just incase anything goes wrong and u flash the wrong firmware.
Oh! Oh! I found it! The stock ROM, as well as the kernel and the modem! So, next question - should I flash all three or just the ROM?
(God I feel like an amateur right now...Thanks so much for helping me out here dork997. :highfive: )

no prb, Okay if you download the rom from sammobile it should be in a .zip format extract it once and it will give you a .tar.md5 file which you have to flash in odin (this file has bootloader+firmware+modem) if you have 7zip or other such programs it will give you option to re-extract the .tar.md5 file but you dont need to do that just extract the downloaded zip once. and flash it in odin (make sure you factory reset and do the formating steps before flashing it....flashing rom over an old rom has caused some issues for me in the past so i always factory reset before but people also flash without factory reset or formating, choice is urs.
And I believe you've just answered my question. I'll hold off on flashing kernel and modem but I did back up everything, just in case. Wiping/formatting now; crossing fingers that things will go fine from here.
(My carrier is in my userinfo under my name, btw. )
Edit 'cause we keep posting at the same time: Hells yeah, I know how to flash, I've done it tons of times, just never run into this problem or had a device with so many variants so I'm just not used to asking so many questions, is all. I sincerely appreciate you guiding me through, and hope this will help others with this device in the future.

you can not flash an ota update with root and custom recovery. if you search the honor7 forum, you will find dozens topics related to this problem.
for further help, you will have to provide us with more information.

i had the same problem. i fixed it by flashing the stock recovery back on to my device (go into fast boot mode by holding down the power untill its turned off completely hold the volume down button then plugging it into your PC while holing the volume down button then wait till you see a white screen with the android logo)
I think the previews version was PLK-L01C432B121, I don't know the new version but came just 2 days ago
i followed this guide:

now my phone is working
thanks for the help
Hi folks,
i have had many devices and virtually customized every one. Now i have really done it, i bricked my phone.
I did happily flash the new march updates for the 910F, some dr. ketan, just the usal stuff. However, now my phone boot loops in and out recovery. To be precise, it starts after successfully flashing with odin (does not matter if repartition with pid files or full nand erase...):
- it tries to enter recovery (blue text at the top)
- it fails (nothing happens), then it goes black, it vibrates two times and
- restarts with trying to enter recovery (endless loop)
No getting out. Removing battery and starting normal does not work.
Download mode and flashing via Odin and Kies "does" work, but changes nothing....
Does anyone have ever had similiar issues and or fixed this?
All thoughts are welcome.
Greetings from germany...

try to flash only the stock recovery.
If it fails, flash the last stock with pit file + factory reset on recovey, if wou're again in bootloop
I did the same thing on my note 10.1
"your partition is corrupt. Would you like to factory reset your device?"
it is still here in bootloop..

How do you know the partition is corrupt? I think i already did a factory reset by repartitioning with the pit file. Corrupt partitions i tried to fix by nand erase in combination with repartitioning... this did not help.
I have the same problem, only problem I got some text with red+blue+yellow color, what I did was flash a stock ROM ( SAME ROM I HAD BEFORE ROOT FAIL) and it worked (like)

thank you very much. i do not understand your first sentence......btw. i can get into download mode...(just if you meant "can not")
Update: I have virtually flashed every rom > 5.0. No success, no difference. Everytime the odin flash procedure is successful (in all variants, with pit, with nand erase, etc...), but the phone loops everything (normal start, recovery) besides the bootloader.
only new thing i noticed: allthough binary status is official, the device status is and stays custom not matter what i flash.
anyone? anything?
Did you try to flash the stock recovery yet?
Also, what did you exactly flash to cause this?

yes i tried stock recovery already. not sure what caused this. i do remember that i had some problems with 4.8 debloated and then i wanted to flash the hole corresponding stock package as clean base. somewhere in the middle this happenend. i am not quite sure, but maybe, maybe flashed cf-autoroot to this march update. but i am not sure if this was before, after or initially.
however,...what really bothers me, is that there is absolutely no indiciation for an error during the flash process. odin and kies, everything completes just fine, just booting does not work. that's why i fear, that this is just an ugly coincident and the problem is caused by some failing hardware.
maybe and immensly undclocked kernel (odin flashable) could start my phone. because something is still working, when the bootloader and the nand writing is working just fine.
does anybody know how to get a really granpa speedy kernel, or how to make it?

Hi folks,
i have had many devices and virtually customized every one. Now i have really done it, i bricked my phone.
I did happily flash the new march updates for the 910F, some dr. ketan, just the usal stuff. However, now my phone boot loops in and out recovery. To be precise, it starts after successfully flashing with odin (does not matter if repartition with pid files or full nand erase...):
- it tries to enter recovery (blue text at the top)
- it fails (nothing happens), then it goes black, it vibrates two times and
- restarts with trying to enter recovery (endless loop)
No getting out. Removing battery and starting normal does not work.
Download mode and flashing via Odin and Kies "does" work, but changes nothing....
Does anyone have ever had similiar issues and or fixed this?
All thoughts are welcome.

Used to happen to me all the time. What I used to do was, after flashing the rom, connected it again to odin, flashed the cwm recovery 5-6 times and then used to give it a try. Also ,after trying this, flash the bootloader-modem file and pretty sure your phone will boot(This is optional)

I was having also huge bug with dr.ketan rom at first was working flawlessly and 1 month later my phone wouldn't charge at all or recognise any charging cable.
Good thing is you can enter download mode (odin )
That means your phone is only soft bricked.
Flash SM-910F pit file + Latest stock firmware in odin mode all together in 1 flashing process...dont forget to mark repatriation in odin when using pit file.
When you got pass on odin and phone reboot and you see Samsung logo...fast take battery out and wait 1 min , put battery back and hold combo to enter stock recovery and do factory reset.
Good luck :fingers-crossed:

Thanks guys. I tried yesterday some stuff, nothing was working and i finally got it dead as a stone! Nothing was working anymore. However, i took it to the samsung service center. They were irritated, that they can't get it on at all! ... However, i am curious, how they handle it and how much they want for a repair attempt/or replacement.
Just for info. I did all the things you proposed. Nothing worked. I think this was just a coincidental hardware failing. If you flash all the time, there is a chance that you do it, while something is dying!?
i keep you updated! Thanks for now...
Corrupted eMMC? Probably! Please let us know what the service centre said ultimately and how much they charged you.
