Hello all,
I attempted to flash lollipop on my G2 last night and for whatever reason, that didn't go well; after a supposed successful flash, it booted into fastboot and that's all I had access to.
So I researched a bit and thought I'd erase/flash a lollipop aboot.img and laf.img. now, however, I'm even worse off:
If I try to boot the phone with it plugged in it gets stuck at "LG", but if I boot it without it plugged in I get back to Fastboot. Fastboot will respond to commands and I can send files but it wont erase or flash, it just sits there waiting for device even though the download will respond with an "OKAY" and the phone's screen will show that it is receiving the flash /erase/boot command.
So, it's sitting here without completing the command and I'm a bit lost, any advice would be quite appreciated.
-Jacob
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ok, so i rooted my LS980 from day 1. A week later, I dropped my phone and cracked half my screen Regardless,the phone was working fine for a month or so. Then..... Along came the LS980ZVA update.... My phone kept telling me that the update was downloaded and ready to install. I kept ignoring it of course.
So one day, after work, I pull my phone out of my pocket and it begins to boot, stays alive for a minute or so(with zero signal and no touch input), and then begins to boot loop. I assume that my phone managed to update in my pocket, so I tired to boot to TWRP and restore a backup. This only sent my phone back into the bootloop
Next, I tried restoring my phone back to stock with the LG Flash tool. Long story short..... Half the time while in download mode, my phone will say it's rooted and the other half will say unrooted. And now im STUCK WITH STOCK RECOVERY!!!! I managed to get usb debugging enabled and can change my PC connection mode before it loops, but so far no rooting method works and I can't get any ADB commands to work.
Every time I issue an adb command it returns "error closed."
I can get into download mode, stock recovery, and can manage to get the phone to stay booted for a maximum of around two minutes or so...
What can i do!!!???!?!?!?!? My software still says i'm on on ZV7 firmware.... What can I do with stock recovery, no remaining nandroid backups, no adb, and a bootloop...? Maybe there's a solution utilizing linux...?
Any help would be sooooooooo appreciated!!!
Hello, I fear I have bricked my nexus 7 (2012 wifi unrooted) and lost all of my data
What Happened?
Play store would crash on startup so I went to restart my tablet.
When turning my tablet back on it gets stuck on the four circles loading screen and does not load any further.
What Have I Tried?
Firstly I went into recovery mode and tried "wipe cache partition" as recommended elsewhere. This changed nothing
Then I tried to flash 4.4.3 on in hopes it would replace potential corrupt files (whilst also getting an early update )
I used this guide cultofandroid com/63876/install-android-4-4-3-nexus-5-nexus-4-nexus-7/
It failed. When running flash-all.bat (with -w removed) it would be stuck on "waiting for device" and my tablet would also be idley waiting to receive files.
I thought that my laptop could not 'see' my tablet but think it actually could because I tried restarting my tablet whilst it was plugged in still, and command prompt showed some messages (unfortunately I didn't take note and cannot remember what they said!) whilst it was restarting
State of tablet now
I now cannot even get into recovery mode
When I turn my tablet on the normal way it loads to a screen which shows the "Google" text in the center of the screen, an unlocked padlock at the bottom, and the fastboot options top right (clicking them does nothing)
When I turn on my tablet on into fastboot mode and try to get into reovery mode I get an error message in the top left of the screen saying "Booting failed"
I'm out of ideas.
Is there any way that I can get my tablet back working normally with all my data safe?
Thanks for any and all help/suggestions
Don't go into recovery mode, just leave it in fastboot mode and run the flash-all.bat.
(The -w might be needed, as it reformats your partitions. Yes, all your data goes but if there are faulty sectors, this is the only way)
Thanks, I left out the -w but it completely wiped the tablet anyway. Better than having a brick.
Before I assumed you couldn't flash with out getting into recovery.
For anyone else doing this be patient. The command prompt looks like it has stopped a couple of times but it hasn't. Its only finished when it says 'press any key to exit' (took 4-5 minutes for me).
Also when it reboots your tablet it takes a while and actually reboot mine 2-3 times before it loaded up.
My 2012 N7 is stuck in a boot loop. It is stock 4.4.4 and not rooted or bootloader unlocked.
Sometimes it will hang during the boot animation and start over, if it makes it through a complete boot I get about 10 seconds before it reboots again, sometimes a random app will crash before that (usually TV) but not always. That means I can't make any system changes (turn off MTP, usb debugging), or if I can do it quickly the changes don't persist or there isn't time for my PC to update the drivers.
I have tried restoring through the recovery mode multiple times, that didn't take.
I've tried using WugFresh's NRT v1.9.3 to use its "Flash Stock and Unroot" feature and after downloading Google drivers so it can talk to it during fastboot mode I was able to get it to attempt to flash both the 4.4.4 factory image and 5.0 factory image. None of those worked either, I think maybe because I can't get the USB debugging working. The process goes very quickly and spits back various FAILED (remote: Bootloader is locked.) and nothing happens, just sticks at the bootloader screen. Even tried to unlock the bootloader via the NRT in case that would work, got as far as the option to unlock the bootloader and erase everything, that didn't take either.
Every thing I've tried so far just keeps giving me constant reboots with all my apps and data still there. The Android laying there with his chest open is mocking me now and I'm stuck on what to do next. I need help or a point in the right direction, please I am running at my wits end with the blasted thing.
problem that came with it is the bootloop when i try to (re)start the device. The phone flashes the OnePlus-logo for half a second, vibrates, and starts again, over and over. The only way to get the phone out of the loop is by pressing POWER + VOLUME UP and booting into fastboot. Then i can do all the fastboot-commands on my PC, but i can't get into the recovery or flash anything because the bootloader is locked. Trying to 'fastboot oem unlock' only results in the device restarting and getting stuck in the bootloop i mentioned before again.
I managed to get the phone to work a few times by executing 'fastboot continue', which either starts to show the charging battery symbol or booting up like normal (about a 50% chance I'd say).
ADB commands can then be executed, but I'd need a way to flash a ROM without going into the bootloader or recovery, which seems to be impossible.
Update problem solves if anyone gets this follow the guide below.
The solution was simple i followed the guide below and it bought my phone back from the dead.

Hi All,
I got my friends phone that is stuck in Crashdump mode and wont boot to any other like fastboot or recovery any Idea how to fix it ?
Never encountered anything like it so I have no Idea how to fix it.
Get MSM tool running on your computer. The phone can be showing crash dump mode. Connect phone with USB, hold down all three buttons. Might take a few tries but the tool should recognize the phone and flash the stock rom and lock the bootloader, then just do whatever steps you like from there.
Hello, I am facing the same issue. Initially I can fastboot and select the Start option. It helped to boot into the system successfully without any issue, but few minutes later it happend again and now I cannot even boot / fastboot the phone. No response after press the power button. May I know what should I do? Can I recover my data? Thanks.
