Hello everyone, I thought I've got a big problem here...
My nexus 4 originally crashed and stuck into a boot loop several days ago, and I flashed stock factory image(4.4.2), then it works again. After that, I imported my backup files into internal storage and using titanium backup restored my apps and data, unfortunately, crashed and boot loop again...So I flashed stock factory image again to find out what reason of this. After several restore from stock factory image, I found that my sms message and many mp3 files could lead to crash, after flash factory image, works fine, use it, reboot it ,fine, but after copy many mp3 files and restore my sms backup(about 2,000+ messages), reboot, stuck into boot loop... Now I try to flash stock image again, however, with no luck to boot my phone...
During my privious several times of flash stock image, it's always hard to boot the machine normally at the first time, I always try to wipe cache, factory reset in recovery even several times to manage to boot the machine normally.
This time when I flash stock image again, I just can't boot my nexus 4 anymore, even wipe cache, factory reset from recovery, whatever other tries...:crying:
Now I even tried several ways to flash stock image(4.4.2, which I used to managed boot up before):
1 Using the newest Nexus Root Toolkit: Boot into bootloader mode and click "Flash Stock+Unroot(soft bricked/boot loop)", everything says OK, however, it just can't boot and stuck in Google logo screen, even after I waited for 2 hours...
2 Using the flash-all.bat: Extract the .tgz image file into a folder which contains adb.exe and fastboot.exe, then execute flash-all.bat, everything reports OK, but just can't boot up, still stuck on Google screen.
3 Manually flash: Extract the .tgz and the .zip, put all files(including boot.zip, system.zip, recovery.zip etc) in one folder, flash bootloader and radio first, then "fastboot flash [partition] *.img", and everything says OK, just can't boot up and stuck on Google screen.
4 Manually flash using 3rd party recovery: Have tried to flash newest CWRP recovery and CMOD recovery separately first, then do manually flash as above.
I even do:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase system(or fastboot format system)
fastboot erase userdata(or fastboot format userdata)
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase cache(or fastboot format cache)
these commands before I try to do the four ways to restore factory image above, but nothing changed.
Now stuck on Google screen, what ever I wipe cache/factory reset how many times, it's just stucked... I even doubt if my flash memory was broken???
PELEASE HELP!

Flash CWM, wipe the partitions there (But not /boot or /persist, those will hardbrick if you reboot after wiping although I don't think it will let you wipe them), flash the latest radio (.98), and then flash a 4.4 ROM.
If that doesn't work, wait for more responses from others, then try this as a last resort. I suggest that you wait a few days, this can be dangerous
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/tutorial-how-to-unbrick-n4-t2347060
Follow carefully, and read multiple times before starting. Take it slow and don't panic if the process doesn't go as expected at 85% (Mine wouldn't reboot on its own for some reason, it kept erroring but it was fine and worked itself out)
It should put the phone on a complete clean slate for flashing
Thanks for your reply

Hi lopezk38,
Thanks for your reply! And I do as your instruction:flash newest CWM recovery, then factory rest, wipe cache, and under mouts menu format system/cache/data and firmware(but error), then flash a latest CyanogenMod image for nexus 4, with no luck, everything remains the same
However, I saw the link you provided to unbrick nexus 4, I'll read it carefully several times. At the same time, I'll wait for any other kind help that anyone can provide. If finally there is no other way to repair it, I'll go through with your link.
Thanks again for the tip!

Yeah /firmware was another that won't wipe, I just forgot to mention it. Best of luck
It sounds like you have faulty nand block (s). Before no critical parts of the firmware got written to it, so it developed problems when you wrote data to it. Looks like this time you didn't get so lucky, or more failed. If it's under warranty I would RMA it; if it's not, I'm honestly not sure what your best option is. Maybe get one that has broken screen etc, then do a logic board transplant. Good luck.

Hi, I've carefully read the link several times, and finally go through with it without any problems, and I could flash 4.2.2 stock images and do the 8gb to 16gb part to restore my phone to 16gb storage...However I found that I only can flash 4.2.2 image to make the phone boot up normally, with 4.3 or 4.4.2 image, it fails at boot up. Most important and sad part is, when the phone complete initial setup and install some software, it crash and can not boot again:crying: I've given several tries but the same result.
Finally, I made decision to sold it to buyer who needs only a good glass screen for replacement purpose... Farewell, my nexus4...
It first started this morning when my phone suddenly started rebooting while I was using it. Then I thought it as a ROM issue and flashed a new ROM over it. Everytime I try to flash something on system. TWRP Hangs and the phone restarts itself.
Tried repairing data, system partitions from TWRP, same thing happens. Bootloops when I try to repair data partition
Tried restoring nandroid backup. When it says flashing data, TWRP freezes and the phone starts bootlooping.
Can anyone help?
I have tried doing the EFS flash via adb from PC.
I'm stuck with the exact same problem since months.

Have you tried Claiming Warranty?
try doing a re flash of recovery, because your issue will be to get your recovery working properly or else you cant remount anything else.

I flashed TWRP 3.0.2,3.0.2-2,3.0.2-3
Loads of it. Tried doing full stock + unroot from Nexus toolkit. That usually fixed all my problems Everytime I was in dire problems like this.

I've never used that toolkit. Since day 1, ive used skipsoft android toolkit. just keep on trying. Does it crash at all when doing backups?

Well in your case what I would do is a backup,
Then wipe, flash custom rom. Use phone til reboot.
If reboot, flash stock IMG. Use till reboot
If still rebooting, then come back. I guess I never asked.what rom.your using

it doesn't boot at all.
It bootloops
I have the exact same problem. Last week upgraded to 7.0, root, stock room, viper4arise audio and EX kernel and that's it. while taking pictures it froze then that boot loop, somehow I managed through a combination of flashing factory image through fastboot, locking, unlocking, reflahsing, to get it to boot normally, then yesterday I was taking pictures again and it refroze then bootloops. Now I am able to fastboot factory images but it doesn't get me out of the bootloops, and in TRWP same as you, I cannot flash anything on data or system. Repairing the file system doesn'T change anything, I did like on other threads also and flashed factury, restored nandroid then flash factory but the restore on TRWP always hangs up.
I was wondering if there is someone knowing the adb dd commands to impose the raw copying back of the restore ? Maybe that would work.
Did you try wiping system under wipe > advanced in TWRP?
In twrp, can you open a terminal and check the results of this (basically, doing a full read-only test of your flash)
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/dev/null
I tried to update to the latest pure nexus rom and ended up in a boot loop. I think i still have my data on my phone and would like to get my phone working without loosing it. I cant do anything in TWRP because i cant get past the password, so I'm hoping i can flash a rom while in the bootloader and get into the phone so i can backup my data and fix it. I made a twrp backup prior to this, but i cant get to it without the twrp password. I've tried default_password and password with no luck. I'm happy to pay someone to login to my computer and fix the phone or I can meet someone it south Florida.
Thanks for the help.
Go to Google's factory images and download the one that matches the software you had installed. Manually flash the system and boot images to your phone. Also wipe the cache for good measure.

Flash it via fastboot
Http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
I took some inspiration a while back from the old Nexus 5 Dead or Alive recovery script, and rewrote it for the 6P.
I've also updated the images in it to reflect the latest(7.1.1) for the 6P as well.
Just run the script with your phone plugged in, and in the bootloader. Even if the device won't boot properly, this script tries to force it into the bootloader and recover. It will wipe all user data, but the phone will be in exact factory condition when it completes!

Enjoy!
I got the phone booted with pure nexus but lost all my data, all well.
Hello. I just purchased an unlocked LG V20, model US996. I'd like to install Lineage OS on it but cannot get past setting up TWRP. I've followed the instructions I found at the following site (http://www.droidviews.com/install-twrp-root-lg-v20-us996/) and everything seems to be going well. I'm using Minimal ADB and Fastboot, my device is recognized by both ADB and Fastboot and all of the commands appear to work properly, even the flashing of TWRP. However, every time I try to reboot into TWRP, the device loads up the factory reset screen. If I go through with the factory reset, it does not boot into TWRP either, it actually goes through with the reset and I'm back at square one. Does anyone have any advice on what else I can try? I am a a bit new to this, but I think I've followed all of the steps properly. I've even unlocked the device through LG's website.
I tried following the instructions posted at "https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/h918-recowvery-unlock-v20-root-shell-t3490594", but it references "https://github.com/jcadduono/android_external_dirtycow#running" which appears to assume a level of technical prowess that I simply don't have, so I wasn't able to follow this. and it didn't detail specifically how and where to run some of the commands.
Thanks in advance!
Did you wipe data? You have to do this to remove encryption. Otherwise it won't work.
I didn't wipe data. I thought I do that in TWRP which I cannot get into. Or does it need to be done prior to booting into TWRP? If so, how do I do that? Thanks!

Recowvrey process wipes data, but you do it again in twrp.
If you can't get into twrp, start the Recowvrey process over.
Worst case get the kdz file and use lgup to flash back to stock and start over.
Hi,
I unlocked the bootloader of my H870, installed TWRP 3.1.1.0 and SUPERSU. Everything was working great untill I decided to restore my system defaults to make a fresh start with my G6. After choosing the option to restore system defaults, my phone rebooted and it booted into TWRP. I rebooted my phone and it kept doing this all the time.
I decided to look for a stock ROM and flash that ROM.
I succesfully flashed the "LG-H87010f-Flashable.COMPLETE.zip" ROM (from autoprime's post) trough TWRP. But this did not work. I even wiped all the data from my phone (even system) and flashed the ROM again; still nothing.
Before having this issue, I had the same Baseband version, Kernel version, Build number. Only the dates and the Software Version are different.
I had the V10b-EUR-XX Software Version installed on my phone. I see this is the 10f version. I guess this should not be a problem right?
After this I took these steps solve this issue:
1. Downloaded new LG Mobile Drivers (LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.2.0)
2. Downloaded and installed LGUP. LGUP doesnt recognize my phone as a LG G6 and this method did not work for that reason.
Fastboot mode is working on my phone; I can reboot my phone trough the commandline on my PC and things like that . However, my PC is not recognizing my phone as a LG G6 device in Fastboot mode.
My PC recognices my phone as a H870 when in TWRP. In Fastboot mode it recognices my phone as Android Device.
3. Installed LG Bridge for more drivers; did not work either
4. Downloaded Uppercut, but it doenst work without LGUP.
4. Looked all over the internet to find a Stock ROM in .zip or .img format; found nothing
5. Downloaded WindowsLGFirmwareExtract-1.2.6.1 and tried to extract the H87010d_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0327.kdz file. I extracted it into .bin files, but they were not usable. After that, I combined these .bin files into a system.img file. But that .img file was bigger then 5 GB and for that reason it was not usable to flash trough Fastboot or TWRP.
7. Looked for other methods to obtain a H870 Stock Rom, including another extraction method, but I cant figure out how to do this.
I have spend countless hours on this problem, but I cant find an usable H870 stock rom to flash my phone with.
Is there someone that can help me out with this problem? Im willing to donate some € if someone helps me to get my phone working again.
Really hoping for a kind person to help me out and provide me solution for this issue.
Thanks in advance
Try formating data in TWRP(not factory reset) then flash the 10f complete zip. Trying to perform a factory reset from within Android could have possibly messed up your data (due to TWRP being installed instead of stock recovery) so a full data format is needed.
Lgup most likely doesn't detect the phone because you wiped system. But flashing the complete zip should have restored system.
In the future make backups in TWRP to restore later.. or flash a kdz with lg bridge or lgup without wiping system first.

Thanks for your reply. I have already formatted data in TWRP, but im still having this problem . It seems like something is preventing my device from starting up. I have flashed several ROMS on other devices, but never experienced something like this. Is there something else I can try? Can I flash the stock recovery and flash the stock ROM? I got the feeling TWRP is causing this issue.
If its possible to flash stock recovery, where can I find it?

Flash the complete zip then boot into download mode and flash kdz. Lgup should see the device as a g6 now instead of unknown device. If lgup isn't seeing any device at all (including unknown device) then your setup is off.. missing drivers or something. If that doesn't work.. idk.

Don't factory reset using the in phone option. You can only do this through twrp's option. To fix this you'll need to boot through the hard side, using power and volume down until the lg logo appears then release power for 1 sec and then repress keeping volume down pressed. Confirm yes twice on the white screens to get to twrp. Once in twrp then reset again and reflash the system. Then using twrps img installer flash your twrp img(make sure it is on ext sd) again. Then reboot.

I just booted this way and rebooted my phone without resetting or flashing anything. Im so damn happy lol. I still dont understand what happened and why my device was actling like this. But I learned a hard lesson; backup, backup and once again: BACKUP. And dont Factory reset in Android!

Probably because you already did all the flashing prior to. Glad it worked. This happened when I first got my V20 and was stoned not thinking. I reset using the in phone option and it caused twrp bootloop. I too learned the hard way.
Had the same issue, fixed it, thanks.
My phone kept doing this booting into recovery no mattery what ROM I installed.
I got into twrp by holding volume down and selecting yes on next 2 white screens....but now this message appears all the time.

Great tip @Swizzle82! It allowed me to restore my LG G6 after bootloop. It had not been detected by PC, and this hardware reset helped!
Hi, all
If I understand, and to sum up :
I rooted my LG-G6 few weeks ago, and intall TWRP. When OTA wants to install official update, the reboot stops in TWRP mod, so ... failed :-/
Is the solution to flash through Uppercut/LGUP with a .kdz file, without risk of brick the phone ?
Thx
