Hi
Yesterday I got my axon 7 and it worked perfect.
Now I was wanted to change the language
So I downloaded as file that in my language
And I tried to install him .
And it worked by the adb software when the axon connected to the computer
So I went to the application in my phone and changed it to my language after USB debugging and developer option is worked
Then the phone was changed to my language and crashed
Now the axon just show the start logo and stuck in restart loop. so I tried to do few thing through your forum , but nothing helped ..
I also cleared the cache through recovery mode but it also didn't help
Its like the axon can't upload the operating system
Thanks a lot for who will help me here.
Also if it possible to send money through PayPal
And if it's legal I will send 30$ to the first that will help me solve this problem
Can you share the link to the file you downloaded ?
Is it compatible with the version of your phone ?
If you can enter in recovery it's enough to save it.

Yea the reason it happened is because I installed wrong adb language on my axon through USB debugging and external app
Now it possible to get into recovery
I just don't know what to do next
I tried few things but I always keep getting errors
You can try to install TWRP.
You will have a lot of option.
There is no option to restor the phone in the official recovery ?

I tried to use twrp but the computer doesn't recognize My axon
You need to install driver first...

I tried but after the install the drivers and cheak them in the device manager in my computer
The name of the driver was London marshesll something
And not what I saw in the guide - adb something
And it didn't recognize my device
I wrote also adb reboot bootloader
And it gives me error massage
I would be more then happy to give someone 30$ now..
Just that my axon will work
Did you root your phone, or just use ADB to sideload a file? If it's wasn't rooted/unlocked, then a factory reset should take care of it, as nothing done via ADB in that setup would impact the system partitions.
If you used the unofficial bootloader unlocking, then you'll have to follow other people's restore guides.
As @TeutonJon78 mention, a factory reset will do the job youan boot to stock recovery using adb
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Or doing it manually,
- Completely Power off your device
- Press and HOLD Volume UP and Power button.
- once you boot to recovery just use your volume buttons to navigate FACTORY RESET.
- Reboot System
holding up and down at the same time. get to fastboot mode it says secure boot: enabled and device state: locked. then i entered to recovery mode, and press on "wipe data/factory reset" (said it was successfully finished). then i pressed on "reboot system now". still its stuck on the zte logo

I will be honest man. I bricked mine too. Everybody has a step by step guide that they say works. I followed them step by step. They did not work. I have an RMA open on my phone and fedex is taking it to ZTE. Use the warranty. Until Zte puts online the full factory images for us to use there is no real way to fix these things.

I know how to help you if you can tell me which bootloader version you have? Did you unlocked it? did you use Tenfar's method to root it?

Were you playing around with the rooting/unofficial bootloader? It should be very hard to actually brick the device without doing those things, and nothing a factory reset shouldn't fix.
If one's playing around with unofficial modifications, then they should take all precautions to make sure to know how to recover the device before hand. There's still a lot of moving pieces between potentially faulty TWRP bugs and no image file.

Did you let it sit for awhile? First runs after a factory reset can take up to even 10 minutes to boot fully. If it still doesn't work again, check if the recovery menu has another option like wipe cache/davlik, which maybe also needs to run if they have a bug in the recovery code about resetting data. If you hadn't touch anything using the tools on this forum, and none of the factory reset/wipe data/wipe cache stuff helps, then you probably have a faulty phone. Just sideloading an app shouldn't be able to corrupt a locked system partition.
The OP of this thread hasn't yet clarified if he was just sideloading files on a normal system (which should be totally fixable unless his phone has an actual flash problem) or if he had been tinkering with other things first.

The factory reset made my phone lose it's IMEI. Everyone said follow this certain guide. After following that guide and getting more help after that I had an AXON 7 that wouldn't turn on at all. Without full factory images from ZTE I won't touch the software. ZTE can fix it.

Which guide did you follow? A Factory reset form within the stock software or stock recovery shouldn't cause that problem at all, as it should only be wiping data, cache, Davlik, and potentially the "media" portion of the internal storage.

same problem here and cant find solution ...
I had the same issue. when you press to reset button when the phone boots it should reboot and for a short time go to recovery and try to write some commands, right? if it does like mine did then what i did to fix it was boot up the phone and wait for the page saying encryption unsuccesful to popup and on the computer have the adb reboot recovery ready to go so when you press the reset button and the recovery menu pops up press enter on the computer before it goes away and it should send you to the regular recovery menu. from there you should go back to wipe and press the format data button where you have to type yes to erase everything. let me know how it went.
you will have to reflash the supersu but it should now be working like it should
Flash the latest su and your fine.

Make sure your on charging mode and you have adb debug enabled
send the adb reboot recovery command as soon as the twrp connects to the computer. as soon as you hear it connect to the computer it should work if your drivers are working.

What screen are you stuck in? Do you have adb up and running?
Same as before Encryption unsuccessful. I was able to do the trick, got into two and wiped data. Then rebooted to system and it went right back to that screen. I've tried 100 times or so to get back into twrp with no luck. I hear the computer recognize the device when it goes into twrp for 2 seconds after you click reset. Not sure if that means add is up and running or not.

Well it booted then got stuck on the lg boot screen again. Adb does not recognize my device, can only boot into Fastboot. Fastboot does see my device, tried lgup, lg bridge, and lg update none see my device, tried relocking bootloader after oem lock bootloader rebooted said my device was corrupted and shut itself off went back into Fastboot unlocked bootloader again and back to the same lg screen help?
This did not work for me, my phone reboots back into TWRP whenever I install a system image it still gives me the encryption message.

Had the same problem and could not for the life of me do the adb thing. Someone here stated something that I thought I'd try: Press volume down while plugging in the phone to get into fastboot. In a command window issue "fastboot oem lock" (this will relock the boot) > Let the phone reset and you'll see the "Phone corrupt message" > Plug the phone in again to do a fastboot and issue "fastboot oem unlock" > Take the battery out let the phone boot and BAM-E WHAM success!
btw. I followed the steps here to do the whole root thing with Android . how (google "how to root the v20")
I think the "data" wipe did this and according to this site it's not a necessary step so skip it.
This option works!

I go my T-mobile LG V20 H918 on 11/23/16 and sure enough, I followed the same thread as listed above where it added the step of "data wipe" crap. I was caught in a bootloop, where phone kept bootlooping back to the "reset to factory." The other method of entering the adb command at the right time was more frustrating than anything. (I never got it to work). I spent all day yesterday trying to get this phone working. I re-read (x30) the above thread and on the first attempt it worked. I did not get the "Phone Corrupt Message," but I went ahead and entered the "fastboot oem unlock" and the F#$king phone finally reboot to the setup initial screen. It wiped everything, but having a phone working rather than a nice $800 paperweight, I wanted to kiss SkyHusky for sharing this simple method. YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!
By the way, since I am a glutton for punishment, I followed the steps to root again. After flashing the SuperUser, I rebooted to System. I was at the initial setup screen. My phone is rooted, has TWRP, and SuperUser! As soon as I got the phone working, I went back to TWRP and made a BACKUP!!!!
It is amazing that every time I f-up a phone, I can always come to XDA and get a solution. THANKS GUYS!

No problem!! Also I forgot to add I only rooted afterward and didn't try to install a ROM or anything. I would think you risk danger with some ROMs without that decryption thing turned off. So maybe in the short future there will be better fixes.
Hey guys, my phone d802 just wont boot, it powers off mid boot, its not even a bootloop, I've tried everything and it just doesn't work, the only thing I want at this point is to recover my files cause I already got a new phone, here's what I've tried and failed:
1) Getting into recovery: I have TWRP installed I just can't get into recovery, I tried all the possible button combinations to get into recovery and no one works. The VolumeDown+Power (wait for LG logo) - release - press both Volume Up and Down -> gets me into the factory reset setting, but from here if I wanna proceed I have to delete all user data, which is exactly what Im trying to recover, so this wont work for me as I dont wanna save the phone just the files, some people say you can press power button 3 times from this screen to get to recovery but doesn't work for me.
2) Download Mode: I can get into download mode but then it says "Firmware Update" "Do not unplug the USB connection until blabla..." but it stays at 0% all the time. My pc recognizes the device but doesn't allow me to access files and ADB doesn't work from here, the LG Tool can upgrade the phone to OG firmware but the phone doesn't have enough storage for the update, so the tool prompts me to delete files, which I don't have access to, so im screwed.
HELP! I just need a way to get into TWRP so I can transfer my files to the PC after which I dont care if the phone explodes, someone help me!

That's not correct. Don't worry. After pushing the factory reset you can confirm it and the phone will boot into TWRP.

It just boots TWRP and nothing more. The reset will be skipped. I know the phone says it's going reset itself but it won't. Normally the factory-reset button combination opens the pre-installed recovery which performs the reset. But it's gone since you flashed TWRP. The factory reset can now be done with TWRP.

Hey guys.
Recently got a 2nd hand s5 and tried to clean it so i could start new. As far as i know the phone is STOCK and hasnt been rooted at all. I also dont think USB Debugging ahas been enabled but more on that later. So i booted the phone into recovery (pwr+vol up+home) and selected the 5th option "wipe data/factory reset." This seemed like it was completed sucessfully so i rebooted the system. Upon this first restart the phone would not go boot past the samsung logo.
I tried all the options on the recovery menu but nothing has worked.
I have tried to install TWEP but without developer access odin fails
I read that flashing a stock firmware to the phone does not need dev access. However the spam download pages I get always time out before the 1.4gb download finishes
I am not too familiar with rooting phones so i am cautious to try anything else. I have read other solutions and will prepare them incase nothing else works
I have a G900FXXS1CQB4 and can provide any info that i can get to on a softbricked phone
Any information/advice/abuse would be welcome
First, you should consider that the first boot after factory reset takes 10-12 min., so be patient. But it should not take more than 20 min.
Second, you did not say what S5 variant you have. The truth is written in Odin (Download) mode in the "Product name" line.

My HTC U Ultra suddenly froze past nigth, then it rebooted... and never came back, it won't go past the HTC logo over and over. I am not able to enter in recovery mode either, the only thing I can do is, by pressing both volume buttons and power, entering in what seems to be fastboot menu. In that state I can send the phone fastboot commands (no adb commands though) but If i try to wipe it it says "unable to do in s-on" or similar. I was pretty happy with this phone, and spent a few bucks in a new battery not two months ago.... anything I can do?
Thanks.
PS: I failed to state that the phone is stock, not unlocked or rooted.
If it has just happened out of the blue and you haven't been doing anything with your phone, have you tried a simple reset? (Press and hold volume down and power button until your phone vibrates - Usually about 20 seconds for me)
If not, and you are struggling to get into recovery etc, see if you can follow the method in the thread linked below if you are currently on stock rom!?
(Not sure if this would delete all your data or not, so perhaps only use as a last resort....)

Reset doesn't work, and the other procedure didn't work either.
If I leave it plugged to the charger, it will fall into an endless reboot loop. Sometimes (few) it will end up booting, but If i try to do something with the phone it doesn't respond and reboots again.
Thanks.
As you can send fastboot commands, can you flash a recovery.img (i.e. TWRP), and then wipe cache and dalvik/art to see if that helps, but if not, flash corresponding rom to that which you already have?

I tried that, too, but didn't work. If I do a fastboot devices it detects the phone, but if I do a fastboot getvar all it doesn't give me any information, it doesn't admit adb commands, when I try to flash a rom or a recovery, it fails, I suspect it needs to have the USB debugging enabled, but I can't enable it in this state.
As I said before, if I leave it plugged to the charger, It will randomly end up booting (it can happen in the third loop or in the 50th), but it will freeze or reboot again in few seconds.
Ah I see, if you haven't got USB debugging enabled then I am unsure how to help sorry. Have you got your media backed up, or stored on micro sd? If so, might have to bite the bullet and do a factory reset. Sorry I couldn't be of any help. Maybe someone else would be able to help you further?

The data is not a problem, every important file has been backed up.
Regarding factory reset, since the device won't go to recovery, I can't see how can I do it.
-- Edit --
I noticed that when the phone is cold, those few times it boots, it lasts a little bit more (a matter of seconds) until it freezes again, so I tried to leave it in the freezer for a few minutes, and tried to boot it, and had enough time to do a factory reset. The factory reset worked, because now, when it boots, it goes straight to the intial setup, but keeps hanging after a few seconds. I suspect that the internal memory was somehow damaged, I don't think there is much left to do...
Is it possible to skip setup in order to get to settings and enable USB debugging so you can install a recovery?
If you can, then it might be an idea to try performing a repair of all the partitions and install a fresh ROM... Just to ensure it isn't a hardware issue!!

Click to expand...

I can't see how to skip initial setup... and I don't have time enough to go through it, the phone will hang in 30 seconds or less. At this point, I really needed a working phone, so I bite the bullet and bought a new one... I will deal with the old one later, or I might sell it for parts.
Thanks everybody for the help.
No worries, enjoy your new phone
