I did adb push but after doing it when i unplugged the phone from my computer several Force Close came up then i rebooted my phone then the MYTOUCH Tmobile logo start up screen came then the HTC logo came then my phone will shut down. I tried to start my phone again the same thing happen. I did Hboot and tried recovery from there but it didnt work. I tried Factory Reset but it failed. I go to clockwork recovery mode if i do backup and restore or factory reset nothing happens. Does it mean my phone is gone? Is there anything i can do to fix it? Please anybody help Does this mean my phone i bricked

Are you clicking the trackpad to make the selection? I ask because some people have tried using other buttons to select and then thought their phone was bricked.

Are you using the trackball to make selections in clockwork?

Great minds think alike. Hopefully that was his only problem. I have to say though, there's something pretty funny about someone thinking their phone is bricked because they're using the wrong button to make selections in recovery! I'm not making fun of anyone, but it does make my chuckle a little.

If the ROM still won't boot, I would wipe data, cache, and Dalvik-Cache, and then flash the ROM again (assuming the zip is still on your SD).

Wipe each item once. I think the new recoveries wipe everything when you select 'data', but do the other items just to be sure. Dalvik-Cache is under the Advanced section.

Thanks a lot. My phone working now!

Hi thanks a lot for your help. Your Track pad solution is golden. My phone is working now. Take care and keep helping people

Glad I could help.

Haha I feel for you OP I had this problem at first (came from an EVO didn't have a trackpad) so I was confused. Didn't take much before I realized it was the trackpad inside. My new problem is my trackpad broke lol. So now I can't select anything (in the OS or in the Recovery) somehow I got the power button to work one time while I was in recovery (little white writing even came up like it does when you flash a rom that said "power button select enabled") never got this to happen again though, any ideas?

Yes a new rom should fix the problem!!
Or a reboot will fix the problem too!!

Thanks for the feedback.
I got an update from her. When I told her to do a hard reboot, she told me that it got stuck on the logo. I'm gonna check it out later. But if that'd be the case, what should I do then?

Okay, as of now, we're experiencing boot loop. I'm not able to access the phone settings. Is there a button combination I need to press in order for me to be able to access the "settings" Thanks

Hold home button while booting and you should

Go to wipe cache and click yes.
then go to wipe data and click yes.
then go to advance and wipe dalvik cache and click yes.
go back using power button and reboot!!!
That shuld solve the problem!!!

TWRP stuck on "Updating partition details..."

I'm running TWRP 2.4.1.0 on rooted Andriod 4.2.2. I was looking into how to upgrade to 4.3 since TWRP prevents me from getting the OTA upgrade but in the process of making a system backup in TWRP, I pressed the square button by accident (next to the home button and the back button). Whatever that button is caused TWRP to get stuck and it now displays, "Updating partition details...". I tried the power button but I get a TWRP lockscreen. Unlocking the lockscreen causes TWRP to return to the same window indicating it is updating the partition details. How can I get past this and has TWRP damaged my pre-existing data?

Well, I took a leap and did a power button long press. I had to keep the button pressed while unlocking TWRP at the same time and I got my Nexus to boot. So, I don't need help with that after all!
Figured I'd provide an update in case this happens to anyone else.

Nobody helped you but you helped me!!!
same problem and I made as you!! SOLVED!!!
Thank you!!!

just hit the little square button again and TWRP will come back.
No need to reboot via power button.

Just ran into this a minute ago, needless to say this thread helped!

I just had the same problem as well using twrp 2.6.3.0 on transformer prime 64gb. The problem is that it won't let me make a backup, tells me there is insufficient space when there is more than enough. I am back in recovery and hit menu and back at the updating partition details screen. Any ideas what I need to do so that I can make a backup?

How much free space vs used space do you have? Is it possible that there could be a lot of space left but not enough for a full backup? Also, have you tried any 3rd party apps to determine disk usage just to compare with what you're seeing in settings-->storage? There's a list of them here... http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/free-storage-space-android-device/

thanks for this info, i also was on message "updating partition details" on my nexus 7 2013 flo 16b.
so solution click on the same icon works perfect...
very thanks

What does this button actually do anyway?

Many Thanks
I feel so stoopid... Thanks. Maybe some of us should not be cut loose with neat toys

Still curious as to what that button actually does.

SOLVED!!!!! After an OTA update, I keep on booting into TWRP. Running WETA.

Hi All! I have an H918TN running the latest WETA (software version J). This morning I awoke to find an OTA update available for install (It must have happened overnight. Don't know why it appeared and don't know the size). I installed it and now I keep booting into recovery even after wipes and re-installs of backups and full installs. Nothing I've tried so far seems to work. Anyone know of a solution or link to one? I have access to ADB/Fastboot (still shows device) and the "J" KDZ file. For the record, I've tried "Restore v20 to 100% Stock (!!even for bricked devices!!" but LGUP (Version 1_14_3) says it doesn't recognize the model. TIA and later.

No offense brother, but that's an after the fact solution. I was going to open a new thread to describe the update. Not likely, for now. What I need is a solution to my problem. Sorry if I sound pissy, but I didn't need this freakin' update to screw up my phone. Most importantly, I should have known not to update a custom with a stock update. Dumb mistake.

Not yet. Try LG Bridge->Software Update->update-error-recovery. I tried but my notebook only has 2gb memory and a 25gb SSD. Unfortunately, LG Bridge is looking for 10gb of storage (Internal. You can't use external for some friggin' reason) to download the file, etc. which I don't have available. Follow the instructions in the thread "Restore v20 to 100% Stock (!!even for bricked devices!!" in "LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion". Good Luck!

The update probably didn't even install.
It should have just triggered a TWRP bootloop.
Easy fix.
Power off or pull battery for a sec.
Hold vol down and power button - as soon as you see LG logo - release and immediately re-press power button only while continuing to hold vol down.
Factory reset screen will come up if you did it right. Use vol down to select YES twice to factory reset. ( It won't really reset anything but the recovery boot trigger ).
You'll end up in twrp. Just select reboot system and profit.

You're the man! Worked like a charm. LG Bridge said the update was triggered but failed on a partial install. That's just an FYI, not trying to rain on your parade. In any case, thanks again and your thanks-o-meter just jumped up a notch!

Don't worry man, it was me just being pissy. My apologies. You were right. I should have disabled auto-installs. All's well now though.:good:
As for what it is, I have no idea. Since it had already downloaded I also don't know what the size was. Maybe a new security update or possibly 7.1.2. In any case, I'll wait until WETA gets updated. Not going back to stock.
Regards, JT

LG update requires stock recovery to install updates. You have twrp in place of stock so it can't do anything but throw you into a recovery loop.
If you had done the factory reset before restoring backups and stuff you should have seen no changes in your phone.
The update files need to be deleted from your fota folder or you can end up in the twrp bootloop again.

I re-installed WETA and the update reappeared. The files were supposedly downloaded, but not installed. I canceled the install and blocked all notifications as well as stopping auto-updates. I checked the fota in cache, per your advice, but found not a thing. Not sure where it could be. If you have any suggestions as to where it might be, I would appreciate it. Thanks for the advice.

Found it! Right in front of my freakin' eyes. Wasn't in the fota folder, as I thought, though it was in cache by its lonely self. Used ES File Explorer Pro and found the size to be 148mb. Looks to be a security update. If anyone wants it, and understand I have the T-Mobile variant H918TN, I'll try to upload it.

May all that is good and holy bless you. Google kept giving me results to do ADB stuff that was giving me "no such folder" or somesuch error after typing out long strings of stuff I wasn't confident I typed correctly (being dyslexic)... even tried plugging into the computer and copy-pasting what was supposed to be the fix so my dyslexia wouldn't be a part of the problem and nothing for over an hour of me getting more and more snappish at my kids interrupting me. This fixed the recovery loop in a couple seconds. I don't care if I have to redo everything on the phone (it's new anyway, stupidly accepted an OTA update of CM14.1 nightly just as I was about to be done setting the darn thing up). Now I can chill with my kiddos a bit until bedtime then mess with the darn phone again without worry that I'll screw something up by forgetting where I was in the process.
Bless. You. Muchly.
