Hello all,
Any help with this would be seriously appreciated. I rooted my Nexus 10 a while back, maybe two years ago. I'm not very proficient with this stuff. Anyhow I decided to do the OTA upgrade to 5.0...I was concerned something would go wrong unless I went to stock first, but I read that the only thing that would happen is root would be removed.
Anyhow, the tablet appears stuck while booting. I see the Google screen first with the unlocked indicator on the bottom. A few seconds later is the Android logo on its back, a red triangle over it with an exclamation point and "no command" written below". It stays that way for a minute or so, tries to reboot and goes back to the no command screen. I can't even power off, when I try to do so it just powers back on by itself and ends up at the no command screen again.
I tried booting into recovery (power, volume up, volume down). My options from here are either Start, Restart Bootloader, Recovery Mode or Power Off. Every option I choose leads to the No Command Screen (except power off, which powers off). No idea what to do from here.
Any help at all would be appreciated. As you can probably tell I don't have much experience with this and just wanted to go back to unrooted stock. If you have advice, please be clear. I can follow directions well enough, just don't have much experience here. Thanks in advance.
Same here, bootloop.
Same thing here. A seemingly short download of Lollipop (even though I have 50Mbs internet). Installation, reboot, and now it loops endlessly. I can get to the bootloader or into Download mode, but that's all. Recovery mode just reboots. I was rooted and had TWRP installed. Other than that, I was running stock 4.4.4.
I've rooted all my devices, and installed various ROM's on several devices. I have the full ADB installation. I have the Nexus Root Toolkit installed. The problem is, the device will not show up under "Devices" on the computer itself. I've installed every USB driver there is (and uninstalled each one after it does not work, so no I do not have several USB drivers installed). Of course nothing shows up using "adb devices" either. Nexus Root Toolkit also cannot find any devices. I've read everything on this subject I can find, and there are no answers out there. Anyone have ANY ideas??
Thanks
Guys, if your device is connected in fastboot (try "fastboot devices") then you can flash roms or recovery (and then flash rom) from there. There are multiple threads with the same problems out there which were fixed. E.g: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-10/help/bricked-t2948546
In my example, I flashed TWRP recovery from fastboot, then installed custom ROM from recovery (official ROM failed to install for some reason). Try this, it might help.

Go to Fastboot mode (pwr+both volumes), Than select recovery after a while an android with Exclamation mark appears which is a stock recovery screen. To access the stock recovery menu press and hold power than press one of the volume keys so the menu will appear. Than do a factory reset and clear caches. You can than reboot and wait for boot animation to finish (it wont take long this time) and you will boot.
If this doesnt work you can flash a stock factory image easily from fastboot again.

I also had the same problem... I followed these instructions and now my Nexus 10 can boot normally (it took a long time to boot).
Only problem is all my data was deleted.... stup*d f*cking sh*t!!!!!!!
So this was I have done to create and to try and solve this issue.
I was running stock CM12 and wanted to flash a different ROMs, so I tried to unlock the bootloader and using "fastboot -i 0x1ebf oem unlock" and without restarting the phone, tried to flash 64bit TWRP recovery, after this the phone no longer booted, but TWRP was booting, with a lot of errors of not being able to mount "/data" and other partitions. So I downloaded the CM12 offical ZIP file to try and do a factory reset, flashed using "fastboot" with the file "flash-all.bat" and here is where the problem started, this process failed, I think because there is a "flash-radio.sh" file where the "fastboot" lines do no have the "-i 0x1ebf" and because of this (I assume it's this lol), this process failed and the phone no longer starts, nothing works, tried in windows, ubuntu and a MAC at work, nothing is able to see the phone any more, the only sign of life I get, is when I remove the battery and connect the usb cable, the red LED from the phone turns on, but the PC still does not detect the phone, followed a recommendation I found, to remove the battery, pressing and holding the volume UP button + connecting the USB cable + connecting the battery, all this whilst the volume UP button is still being pressed and also did not work, no signs at all of life =(
Not sure what to do more, any idea guys?
Can't return because I bought on eBay UK =(
I've successfully rooted my T-Mobile LG Leon, and I've successfully installed TWRP, but for the life of me, I can't get the phone to boot into recovery. I can RE-boot into recovery from TWRP manager, but I can't actually boot into it from a fully powered-down state. I've tried every combination of the power and volume buttons I can think of, and nothing ever works. Download Mode works, the factory restore menu works, but I CANNOT get into recovery. Is there a very specific set of instructions anywhere that I can follow?
EDIT: Okay, I finally figured it out: You need to actually select to do a factory reset, and it throws you into the recovery menu.
Yeah, it was because the stock recovery doesn't exist as a menu, when you're running stock and enter the adb command "adb reboot recovery" it will reboot to the "factory reset mode" and the actual file of this mode is stored on partition named "recovery". Choosing the factory reset option boots the custom recovery because it replaces the said " factory reset mode" and that's the trick.
You can access recovery from the powered off state by holding volume down and power on until you see the lg sign. Without letting go of volume down, depress on the power button before clicking it back in and holding both buttons in until you see twrp pop up.
If you reboot to recovery now, it''ll probally say secure booting error. Simply go to the Developer options and enable OEM Unlock and that'll make you boot to it
You boot in the download mode by holding the vol up 10 seconds and during this 10 seconds you insert the usb. The LG Leon brand screen will come on a minute then it will go into download mode. It says not to unplug until firmware is done updating. So I guess you should have your custom recovery or whatever before you do this. I have only got this far, and thusly it sits. All Dressd up with no where to go...haha

can't find "enable OEM" at all in developer options. have phone hooked computer, and on, it's sending and receiving. No OEM. Isn't there.
See, I'm trying to root this without using KingUser. Since I found that it was pretty easy to do from the very beginning with Samsung, and I just don't see any way to do it here. I can't get ADB Devices command to see the phone.

I think I have the same issue, but I rooted my phone using kingroot, I haven't tested the adb commands, I just want to use twrp but no luck, it says Secure booting error and I can't find OEM Unlock option in Developer Menu.

I got a good way to get it rooted with SuperSU. Ran a command window script I found out there. It worked and now I have SuperSU root. I also figured out how to get into recovery. It looks as though my phone is not the standard LEON that people are talking about here. It's got a few designations, and the T Mobile site advertises a Leon that seems very similar and is called by the name most are using..
Anyhow my LG Leon is designated as a H320. It also carries a v10 desiganation, v10b. The v10 is variable from a-h or a-i. It would seem that once it is updated to 5.1.1 android it gets upped, and becomes unrootable. Mine being a v10b was rootable, but it took me a while to get used to it, and make the command window work.
Unfortunately for me one of many things I tried before getting it rooted, was ADB fastboot. And since this told me to wait for too long, I pulled the plug on it and pulled the battery to get back into "normal" operations. Perhaps I should have waited, because after finding out a few things about the phone, I discovered the true way to get it into recovery:
The real way into recovery for my phone, is to (from power off state) hold the volume up, a few seconds, then plug the USB cable which is going to the computer into the phone. While holding the volume up until it comes to recovery. This will activate the recovery, (Now for me it activates that fastboot command line...and does nothing else). This was the bit of information I could have used from the beginning, that no one knows. All these places tell you to hold the power and volume up, and then let off power when the screen changes, but that never worked even once. You just hold the volume, and plug the USB from computer. This works.
For me it goes into a "FASTBOOT" header at the bottom of the screen that never changes.
I believe it does this because of my unsuccessful attempt to fastboot it before. And it does not have the right driver to get recognized in the computer. So I'm screwed as far as the recovery goes now.
It is rooted though. And it doesn't seem to have any alternate ROMS available anyways. so we're dealing with the loss of the recovery.
When I do try to use an app such as TWRP manager or CWM (ROM) Manager to reboot into recovery, I get a "boot certification verification -1" error instead of the fastboot line at the bottom of the startup screen and it boots normally from there. So many people asked about this "boot certification verification -1" and NO answers are available anywhere online. So that's where it stands for this phone right now.
Anyone know what driver I should use to get the thing recognized in the computer? I have downloaded a zipped fastboot tools, and it won't get recognized inside the driver manager as "android" only as "unknown device" so I can't use that route....I'm thinking about doing a factory reset to try to erase the fastboot attempt. That may not help though. Anyone?

I dunno, I have the H340AR, with this phones happens the same that with the Samsung Galaxy Ace 3, there are, 3G versions, 4G versions, regional versions, etc.. GA3 have 7275R, 7275B, 7272L, 7272T, I dunno, maybe if we could get a device tree for a H340 and an H320 we could make some TWRP and CM compiling, but I just can't figure it out how to make a device tree or even where to begin..
I successfully rooted my H340AR with Kingroot, it works like a charm. I haven't tried fastboot and I tried to install TWRP in this link https://dl.twrp.me/c50/ but I get that F error "Secure booting error". I guess I have my bootloader locked, so I'm trying to figure out how to unlock my bootloader.
I'm trying to contact with some developers and see if anyone can help me build a device tree.

Hi, I have that same phone H340AR LTE. I rooted it with Kingroot and also tried to use TWRP to gen into recovery and got that Security error. I only pulled out the baterry and turn it on again so it booted normally. I made a factory reset because I read that it could be a problem of OTA firmware update. Then I installed TWRP and BusyBox again and tried to get into recovery from TWRP option. When I did that, it showed up the Android lying in his back with a red triangle. I pulled a out the battery again and yes, it seems very dumb and simple but it worked and could reboot the phone.
However, I can't get into recovery from TWRP yet. I read that the problem with us not being able to unlock the bootloader(we don't have the OEM option) is because Leon has Lollipop 5.0.1 and OEM is for 5.1.1

when i pressed factory reset all it did was to a factory reset even though i flashed twrp.img successfully... help?
lg leon h345 lollipop 5.1.1
This device has a locked bootloader. If you flash a custom recovery on it, it will not boot into recovery, but will report a security issue. You will lose all recovery functionality, including factory reset, adb, fastboot. If your phone fails to boot, you have a brick.
I just tried to flash a new rom onto my XZP, and upon rebooting from TWRP, it didn't load the rom. Just boot looped. I restarted and tried to get back into TWRP with pow+vol down, but it still boot loops doing that and it doesn't vibrate on the boot like it did before. It still just gives me the "device is unlocked and cannot be trusted" but that's it. No Sony logo, or TWRP. I tried using the "adb devices" command but nothing shows up. I cannot find out why. In device manager on Windows 10, it shows up as "Android" under unknown devices, but I can't find a driver that actually works. Anyone know what to do?
Which rom did you want to flash? Looks like you did something really wrong dude. The best you can do is just flash a stock rom with "Newflasher". You can get the with "XperiFirm". The correct device drivers are ready to download on the Sony developer website. Here are some informations about drivers for XZP and other devices.
Maybe you can get the drivers working, then flash TWRP again and do what you planned to do. But I really recommend to flash a stock firmware instead.
Did you also try to power down the handset with the Vol+ and Power buttons? If you hold them for 3 seconds it just restarts the phone, but holding the Vol+ and Power for 6 seconds turns the phone off completely.
first of all sorry for my english
i have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0, and of course like anyone else in this forum, i want to have stock android installed on my device. I have once tried this before with my Sony Xperia Z and it worked flawlessly. So that means that i have a little experience on the process. I approach it using the common method which is using fastboot and adb command. But later i found out that i can install twrp with a software called Odin. Here's where the problem came. I followed the instructions on the net, but the feedback i got was something like "bla3 installing recovery bla3 nand writting! bla3 resetting bla3 res ok! bla3 PASS!" The status box always shows "RESET!" for a few minutes then "PASS!" But twrp still isnt installed. I think that the software tried to install it but then it resets it back to default... Please someone help me trough this
my device condition
- missing oem unlock
- cant get fastboot to work (didn't detect the device in device manager while in fastboot)
- not sure if it's unlocked or not
- cant get into stock recovery after tried to install twrp with odin ( stuck at samsung logo with some writings on the top left corner)

Before you install twrp, disable auto restart option in Odin. When you have done, do Power + Home + Volume Up to make it shutdown and immediately to to recovery (if not shutdown do volume down then when screen shuts immediately put up).
The system removes twrp so that's why it happens.

First of all, thank you for replying, but that didn't change anything. I made sure that I followed the instruction on the web including untick auto reboot. But I realized something yesterday, HOW does the software manage to "communicate" with the tablet??? Because when I clicked start, there's something happening on the tablet screen, so that means that they had successfully communicated to each other in fastboot right??? But when I used the manual way, my pc can't communicate with my tablet in fastboot mode, because when I typed in "fastboot devices" i got no result and when I tried "fastboot flash recovery" it just says "waiting for device" so that means that there's something wrong with my driver right? device manager looks fine and i made sure that the driver is installed (samsung usb driver) but it still won't do anything when i typed in any fastboot command. But somehow Odin managed to communicate with my tablet??? idk why
