[Q] Tmobile D801 will not boot FIXED

Just switched over to Tmobile from Sprint and before even signing into google i went ahead and tried to root my phone. Rooting was a success. Used Flashify to flash twrp recovery. Downloaded rooted stock D80110G rom and began debloating it (like I did with the Sprint version) and then booted to recovery, wiped twice, flashed and reboot. Well, now it will just keep rebooting back to recovery and thats it!
I still have access to download mode
still have access to custom recovery
Did not do a nand backup unfortunately
cant mount in twrp because computer no longer recognizes phone!
shows up under unknown devices as LG D801
Tried the stock recovery using LG Flash tool posted in generals but ran into the "can not update because of your device policy" or something like that. Reinstalled and tried it again many times, even switching languages and countries (the last step)
Tried using the ubuntu method posted by partager.info but even ubuntu does not recognize the device. Matter of fact nothing even happens when i plug the phone in.
Tried reinstalling drivers, tried on 2 different laptops (one windows 8.1, one windows 7, and an ubuntu usb boot) and my desktop computer (windows 8.1) and am just unable to mount using twrp because none of them recognizes it!
tried using the adb sideload but twrp just stays trying to load adb sideload forever and adb terminal cant even find the connected usb device.
Tried factory reset but that just takes me to twrp.
I've redownloaded the rooted stock rom and left everything as is. I'm assuming I just need to get it onto the phone somehow so I can flash it.
I have an otg cable but not quite sure how to work it wit twrp or if that's even an option; I've just purchased it.
I feel like I've exhausted my options. Anything else I can try?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Should've just used Titanium to debloat instead of trying to do a fresh install! I know I know
Figured it out! not sure how to delete this thread now

Hey sorry, I haven't been on the site for a couple days.
I used the flashtool to go back to stock. Had to enter download mode and work from there. The big issue I was having was a driver issue. Uninstalled every driver related to android and then reinstalled after a restart and that did the trick. For some reason android phones are giving me a lot of driver issues on windows 8.1
follow these steps here but make sure you read a chunk of the thread as the steps in the main post are not complete

After 10 hours of failing finally side loaded lollipop

I've been trying to sideload the lollipop ota since yesterday and after 10 hours of failing, I've finally got it running. The problems I got during the period including adb driver errors, recovery errors, and my USB ports problem.
Here are some tips for the other if facing a lot of problem sideloading the lollipop ota zip.
-Use Windows if possible. I tried using Ubuntu but adb won't work correctly. Even sometimes it works, fastboot fails. Use Windows and install the drivers needed namely Google USB Driver. It can be found on Android official website.
-Plug your device directly to the motherboard. Etc. back USB port. My desktop defective front USB ports caused me the most time as Windows/Ubuntu won't work correctly with them. Windows shows USB malfunction.
-Custom recoveries won't work. I tried twrp and cwm. They won't work. They show incompatible build fingerprint/user release keys. Flash stock recovery. I tried wugfresh but can't figure out how to use it so I have it up and flash with adb in Windows. Of course you need to install the drivers properly.
-If adb/fastboot can't detect device in os/bootloader/sideload/recovery/whatever mode, most probably drivers aren't installed correctly. Google the problem and you'll find solutions to it. It's out there and you can find it.
-Check the index thread in the general forum for useful tools/image/utilities
-Sideloading is quite easy if you have drivers installed correctly assuming you have no hardware problems (defective USB port)
Those are most of the problems I faced when trying to sideload ota. Hope this helps those who are facing same problem as me.

Sounds like you need you need to save what every data you can if you can through recovery to maybe an OTG adapter.. Then go ahead and Completely WIPE your Nexus. Follow the instructions and download the Android Lolipop LRX31P image, and all the other files needed to properly root your device.. Flash to Stock+Unroot, then once finished reboot and put in your email and settings, download all your backed up apps.. Then once finished, then go back to the Nexus Toolkit by Wugsfresh, and use the tool to root the device, it will put your device into Booloader/Fastboot, and let it do its thing.. Make sure you have USB debugging selected..
If you have a custom kernel on your current rom, it will not sideload.. if you made any changes, if its rooted it will not OTA.. You need to flash to Stock Android 5.0 and go through the motions.... I was on Carbon Rom 4.4.4, and went through the paces, and gave me no issue.. It just takes about 5 or so mins at first boot.. So if it seems to hang.. don't worry.. Just let it do its thing, put in your email info and there you go.. The tool is dummy proof.. even if you soft brick the device, you can use the Advanced Utilities while manually booting into Fastboot/Bootloader mode..
Edit: also make sure you have the correct ADB drivers.. The took kit has those drivers, just follow the instructions, and you should have ADB, or you can flash manually through fast boot if you select your device as soft bricked.. I had the same problem when I first tried to side load an OTA..
Good luck

Oops you misunderstood my post. I've done sideloading 5.0 and its running now before i post this thread. This thread i created is meant to give help to those who need it. Everythings running good for me right now. I successfully flashed stock recovery through adb and after that sideloading ran smoothly. Those problem written above is those problems i faced during it and now i already solved the problem and 5.0 is already running without full wipe. Thanks anyway

Because of how Lolipop handles file location, I recommend doing a complete factory reset/wipe..
But if its working for you.. Thats alright.. But Android 5.0 handles the SDcard Location in a different area.. Something to do with the multiple profile ability I believe.

You mean internal storage? I dont think nexus devices have an external microsd slot. Thanks for the suggestion anyway. I will do a factory reset if problems starts to bug me.

Yes internal storage.. and yes a factory reset would correct that problem..
That just defeats the whole sideload thing, where you could just do a Titanium backup first, restore Data only when needed. Just install the factory image, and restore the Titanium back up... not the app, but the Data becaus the app will crash.. Its the easiest way to save your settings in your Launcher and your apps..
Its too much trouble to sideload when your rooted, with a custom Kernel.... you wasted 10 hours, when it could of taken less than 10 mins

Luckily i was using stock kernel. Ive disabled root beforehand and the problems i faced was all on the pc side. Evrything should be easy if my pc doesnt show so much problems. And i like to take challenges so i chose to sideload haha

Samsung Galaxy S4 IG9505 Boot Stock-up Problem

Hi everyone,
I just want to ask for tips and recommendations to resolve my problem on my phone. I used TWRP to root the phone but failed and i also used kingo root apk apps on it but still failed. But after that, my phone just shut down and when i open it, it no longer boot and stocked in the samsung logo blinking. I tried KIES and ODIN apps to recover my phone in download mode but my computer didn't detect my phone. I tried also to wipe-up data using the TWRP progam on boot loader. I am not sure if was able to enable the USB Debugging on my device. What i want to try is if i can install the firmware of my phone using the TWRP but i just dont know what to do or what i needed to download. i downloaded the stock firmware of the phone but when i tried the TWRP to install it, it didnt work. I already go to the repair center but they just did what i did and they also failed to do. Please help me guys. I know that lots of members here are generous and willing to help each other. Thanks

Hey there,
First off, you can't flash stock firmware through custom recoveries. It can be done only with Odin or Heimdall.
Second, make sure you use the back USB ports of the computer and also try different windows versions.
Wiping data through recovery doesn't help because root apps are usually installed on the system partition.
You could probably flash a custom rom on it. It will at least get the phone working again. You can go from there.
Good luck.

Thank you.
Is the USB Debugging Option has nothing to do with the computer to detect my phone. The technician told me that they will replace the USB female socket on my phone because it was defective. I will spend much on the replacement yet i'm afraid it might not still work. The idea of installing a custom roms might work as you have said. I will try that.

The computer should detect your device no matter what. I mean, how else would you transfer files between the two, since USB debugging is disabled by default.

HELP Order of steps of total new set up GT-I9505

Hi XDA Community!
I can find information to about almost single topic, but the big problem is, i dont know where exactly to start with and the correct order of all of these steps.
What i wanna do is, like on a pc, format the whole phone, delete everything and set up a custom rom and root the phone.
My first step was trying to root it because i dont know if the root is related to the OS or to the phone kernel.....
I tried the CF-Autoroot procedure from XDA-Forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219803 but i experience the same issue as many other users. When i click start the process starts, but gets stuck immediately when it comes to the imaging step. Then i get no response from my phone or Odin anymore, the bar wont process for hours.
I tried different USB ports, same result. But i can exchange data from phone OS to pc via USB without problems !
So im kind of thrown back now and i dont know what to do or where to start. Can anyone help me ?
5 Years ago i cooked a rom for my Sony Xperia X1 and put it on my phone without any problems lol, and now with Samsung i get only problems.....

If you want to put a custom ROM on it you only need to flash a custom recovery.
This can be done, also, with Odin.
The only other steps are with ADB or root.
TWRP have install instructions (for all methods) on their site.
One important thing is that you also have to take your device model into consideration. Some models (AT&T & Verizon) have locked bootloaders, which make the whole process of rooting and flashing a pain in the butt.

My phone is NOT locked. But my question was the correct ORDER of these things to do. Please read my question carefully. What I do first and what comes next ? I also want to root my phone for full acess

I read it and I told you.
If you want to put a custom ROM on it, you have to flash a custom recovery First!
Recovery and root are two independent things. The only reason to root first would be if you want to backup your apps and data of your current ROM.
Custom ROMs are pre-rooted
Otherwise flash a custom recovery, put the ROM zip on your microSD card, boot into recovery, wipe the phone, flash the ROM.
And don't forget about gapps.
Since you said you've already flashed ROMs before, this shouldn't be anything different from what you did before.

Well, it was a lot easier on my Sony, even cooking the rom was a first time success. Here im struggling really hard since i feel im running around in circles, not able to proceed...
First of all some details to my phone:
Android 5.0.1
API Level 21
Bootloader I9505XXUHOJ2
Build ID LRX22C.I9505XXUHOJ2
Java VM ART 2.1.0
OpenGL ES 3.0
Kernel armv7l
Kernel V 3.4.0-5978264 (I9505XXUHOJ2)
Root No
Thing is, every source tells me that I need TWRP or a different custom loader to flash the ROM. But i cannot install it since my phone isnt rooted and the ODIN root-method fails for me, since the process stops right in the beginning at the recovery.img, like its hung up. I tried everything from different USB ports to disabling windows firewall and enabling USBdebugging in the developer settings of my phone... Still same result, no sucess....
Is there any way to do this via Kies ? What should I do ?

There are 3 methods to flash TWRP:
1) Root and Flashify
2) Odin
3) ADB
Since rooting with Odin doesn't work, maybe you should try flashing recovery with Odin.
Have you tried a different version of Odin or a different Windows version?

Need support on 7.1.2 for Y5 2017 mya-l22

I have successfully booted the rr 7.1.2 rom from 4pda on my device every thing seems very well except in performance its much slower than the stuck firmware , also i have check the antutu score and it get lower by 10k points , i have check the gpu with another app and the working percent was stuck at 0%
So if any one could help fixing the hwc , kernel , hw coding and decoding,, it will make the device fly again

I have been trying to get this room to work but failed everytime, because of the encryption.
Everytime I get decryption successful but something went wrong. As far as I understand the encryption should be disabled on this ROM completely, but I can't get it done. I tried reformatting data to ext4 but that didn't work.
Edit: The problem was that I was using Magisk as root solution. I tried with the provided SuperSU and it all worked.
My device runs well with rr. I only notice the performance issue on startup, right after but the phone is very slow.
I noticed that there is no swap memory use in this ROM, while in stock there was a deal memory partition.
I'll try to figure out if we can enable it in this ROM. That might improve performance.

Don't mean to hijack this thread but im desperate. Im trying to root mt MYA L22 but can't seem to find the right instructions. Posted here two times but no one is replying. Could you tell me how you unlocked bootloader on your phone? I already have the code from Huawei website. I am stuck at the cmd prompt when i type "list adb devices" from a cmd prompt opened through the adb and fastboot folder that ive downloaded. It says adb devices attached but shows nothing after that, basically an empty list. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not sure which post you saw, but I think my post on there were with an other device and yes, I have never bricked a device unrecoverable (yet).
That said, you will always be taking a risk when rooting or trying custom ROMS.
Then again if you never take risks you won't get anywhere. The question is how much are you willing to risk. In this case are you willing to risk your phone for the extra possibilities you might get when rooting it
First think you need to do before modifying anything is learning how to backup and restore.

Thanks JudgeDread. Yes, I've rooted several phones in my life time. I understand the risk, but I tend to research about that particular rooting method with my phone before going ahead and doing it. I feel like the rooting method for my phone is particularly more risky, not because of what I read but rather from what info I am NOT able to find. Did you have a Huwaei Y5 2017 MYA l22 that you rooted successfully without issues? Can you point me to the instructions? That thread is a bit confusing.

Yes exact same model, rooted and after several tries custom ROM.
I unlocked using the official method and then flashed TWRP in the recovery partition.
The difficulty was to get back into TWRP after rebooting. So I would advice to immediately install a root solution. I used Magisk. While root works without problem Magisk modules will only work if you use the f2fs workaround.
I am now running Resurrection remix (Android 7.1.2) without many issues. Only every now and then a forced close of the system UI.
It took some time to get it running. Because I used a different root solution the provided on the same page as the ROM. So on install use the provided SuperSU. After install you can change of you want.
Also the patches are needed. I still have bad videos on YouTube but haven't looked into the issue much yet.

hi , good news for Huawei y5 2017(MYA-L22) users.

Also the patches are needed. I still have bad videos on YouTube but haven't looked into the issue much yet.

Thanks again for replying. Unfortunately though, 80 percent of what you just said flew over my head
I am not an expert but I can follow instructions! Any step by step guide on how to root it? So far I've gotten the unlock code from Huawei. I downloaded the ADB and fast boot folder and launched from that folder the cmd prompt. I type in "list of ADB deviced" and below comes an empty list. Please share what you did.
