I have rooted many phones before without an issue, and during the root process for this phone, everything was going great, I flashed SuperSU zip in TWRP and rebooted, since it was the first boot I expected a decently long wait, after about 25 minutes I followed the guide's instructions for Verizon since it did say some Verizon users were experiencing long first boot times. I took the battery out like it said, put it back in, then proceeded to fastboot boot2.img, like the guide said. After letting it sit for an hour this time, I got the idea that something was obviously wrong. After multiple attempts with no success I tried to fix it myself. So far I have learned that on the fastboot screen it says my bootloader is locked again, even after unlocking it. I have tried flashing TWRP as a recovery, just to at least have a recovery boot, that does not work either unfortunately. So as of right now, all I have is a v20 that has no OS, a locked bootloader, no way of booting recovery, I can fastboot with no ADB, and its virtually a paperweight. If anyone has a solution to at least get back to Stock, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!
First off. It will say: Bootloader Unlocked: No
Thats normal. 2nd. you are not bricked. You have TWRP installed. You just need to redo some steps.
PM me. and I will help you.
Did you get it fixed?

In his case we needed to redo from step 3.
I managed to un-brick mines after returning sadly from the Sprint store.
First, get to the boot loader screen and try running thru the steps again, especially step 3. You need to make sure you have TWRP.
Use this link to make sure you can get into the different modes (Download mode, fastboot, etc) http://www.hardreset.info/devices/lg/lg-v20/
Once you can get TWRP to show up,then you are good. In the mean time I downloaded "LS997-deODEXd-signed"
When I got into TWRP, I transferred the file to my phone. Rebooted from TWRP back into TWRP and flashed the ROM.
During my reboots, I do get a message saying my phone is corrupt, blah blahblah, but I just wait a few seconds and it will boot up.
Hope this helps.
I had managed to brick mines only 3 hours after upgrading from my Note 4. It took me from 9pm to almost 2am to get it back up again. I can live with the message about my phone being unbootable until someone comes up with a work thru.
Bricked T-Mobile v20
I have rooted many phones before without an issue, and during the root process for this phone, everything was going great, I flashed SuperSU zip in TWRP and rebooted, since it was flash a new rom on it then i get boot loop with TWRP. so i decide to OEM LOCK again after that everything was stuck on my phone just boot loop with LG so any solutions please help me...... THx u for help me.
Kinda nerve wrecking to read about all these "bricked" phones popping up after trying this method lol.. Perhaps I'll just wait until a more tried and true way comes out...
Dirty Santa root is not for the average user who has a couple of experience in rooting.
You have to at least have background on Hard bricking phones to fully understand what you are getting yourself into
For anyone that isnt on sprint that has "bricked" their phone. There are kdz's that will allow you to reflash back to 'stock". Someone had an issue with the kdz, but it was an easy fix. If you failed the process, it can be restored. Just if it doesnt want to boot, just lock and unlock the bootloader...
If your phone doesnt have a kdz, I know TeamDev is working on a custom kdz for such phones. Don't bug him if it isn't finished as I type this.
Anyone that can't get into TWRP, or has failed the process. Either start back at step 3, or if you have TWRP installed but can't get to it, the manual way to get into TWRP is a pain.
Keep your back cover off and hold the volume down button for ease. Now press the power button and as soon as you see an LG logo, let go and repress the power button. Its tricky.... If you get the corrupted screen, pop your battery out and put it back in quick and repress volume down and power. Usually if Im quick enough the first LG logo will hang a lot longer than usual and that gives me time to enter TWRP. A factory reset screen will pop up. Hit Yes twice.
Please help urgent

What does that mean? Not for the average user who has a couple of experiences in rooting.
I've only rooted 2 phones, this is my 3rd (maybe 4th). I am on Sprint. Instructions worked fine for me. I did have one hiccup, but it was my fault, and I was able to root just fine. I've been running for a few months now.
I have not flashed any custom ROM yet, I'm going to wait for the next major version of Android to come out. The only mods I've done so far are Titanium Backup install so I can remove Sprint crap.

it means dirty santa root got a high posibility rate of bricking a device compared to other root methods for other devices and if you have no experience in bricking phones before then you're screwed if it happens to you
Actually, if you follow the directions, almost none of the problems create a true brick-- which means unrecoverable. For most of the cases, you might get a soft brick, meaning you have to back out, use a KDZ to repair it or reflash something else, or start over from scratch and try again-- but usually (maybe with some help from here) you can pull the phone back into a usable state.
I would hazard to guess for the vast majority the process works fine, maybe with a hiccup, but I've not seen many reports of a truly unrecoverable brick from this method. It's complicated, yes, and you need to be ready to read a LOT to understand what's going on, but it seems pretty difficult to end up with a $700 paperweight with this.
So i have been trying tonroot my sprint lg v20 and everytime i try and go to the phone on mobile terminal to enter id
Then enter the apply patch /system/bin/atd /storage/emulated/0/dirtysanta i get this message and i cant go to step 2 to boot into recovery
Any help would be appreciated: i have a sprint v20 and i wanted to know if i have to flash the stock sprint rom or can i just flash lineage rom following this guide? I have it running on AT&T and i want to keep it on AT&T...
can you please assist
Could you help out, please? I don't believe I have hard bricked my LG V20 H910. However, I have read and tried all of the unbrick info out. It seems my screw up is unique. I completed dirty Santa then went to flash a custom. in the boot between that. I get a black screen and cant do anything even download mode will not come up. My PC does make its usual noises when i connect or disconnect, but my phone does nothing.
Ok, I managed to brick mine too. It's a VS995, it was running stock 1AC. I used the LGUP tool to downgrade it to VS99512A, and then did Dirty Sanata and TWRP. After booting into TWRP I decided to try lineage OS with Android 8.0, I did not make a backup of the Stock ROM, which was very stupid. Lineage OS 15.1 flashed but I had no cell service so I panicked and instead of wiping it in TWRP and using the backup of stock I should have created, I just opened LGUP and tried to downgrade it back to stock VSS99512A. Well LGUP said it worked, but when it went to boot it would hang at the Verizon logo with 4 pastel dots. Device manager could see an ADB device and I could connect to it with ADB. So I did and read the logcat. I could see it was trying to update as part of the rollback, but it appeared that some components from Android 8x could not be "upgraded" to Andoird 7.x. There was a repeated error about failing to update SQLite instance version from 3 to 1.
The one feature that could fix this is if the refurbish function worked with any of the VS995 KDZ files we all have access to. But alas, none work instead we only get the upgrade function... or so I thought. Somewhere in my search for the past 2 weeks I found a modified LGUP https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/guide-patch-lgup-to-unlock-features-t3652222
**Please be warned what I did was absolutely ****ing stupid, and it was sheer luck I didn't screw anything up.**
From what I can tell if you only flash ("LGUP Upgrade") the KDZ from the same model it never clears the partition it just adds to it. My problem was there was stuff from lineage OS 15 stuck on one of the partitions that was making the rollback to stock fail because it kept saying it couldn't update the SQLLite DB from 3 to 1. So no "upgrade" within LGUP would work because the upgrade function does not clear internal storage. But the link above is to a version someone modded so you can force a partition update from any KDZ onto the system. So I started playing around with forcing KDZs from other models onto my VS995, and I noticed when using the Partion DL function with non-VS995 KDZ files it would say something about the partition changing. All I can assume is that the partition layout is so different on each model and it forces LGUP to re-partition the storage.
**Again I state for the record this was stupid, and I'm only fortunate it worked.**
I forced Partion DL of H91510d_00_VTR_CA_OP_1110.kdz, then H990N10b_00_OPEN_HK_DS_OP_1017.kdz, then back to VS99512A_06_1114_ARB00.kdz, then when it booted it gave the Verizon hello, and moved on finally but the setting service kept crashing while it was trying to load the Secure Boot screen. So I yanked the battery and went into the boot menu and did the Factory Reset function, and it worked.
Lesson learned, always make a backup and don't be so hasty to use tools that aren't fully functional (LGUP).
Perhaps what I've done may help others, maybe I've found out how to reimage or unbrick our V20s. Or maybe I just got really stupid lucky.
Help!
I have an unlocked A2017G that won't boot into any Stock Android or as far as I can tell anything. It just shows the screen "your device software can't be checked for corruption, Please lock the bootloader'". I wanted to get rid of this display so installed a recent patch_unlock.zip file via TWRP
But since then I haven't been able to get it to Boot past the screen listed above.
I am able to install TWRP 3.1.0 via MiFlash Ok via EDL.
TWRP runs OK but I haven't been able to get the phone to Boot. I've tried Nougat B1 Europe.
Any ideas? would be appreciated even if I need to go back to earlier MM stock to start.
I hope someone can help?

Thanks for your help. I'll try what you have suggested when I get home.
Since you can get to TWRP, use the thread below to get your phone back. I had the same issue on a u version vs a g, but this will be the quickest and easiest way to get your phone working again.

Your solution solved all my problems. Thank you.
Hi there.
So I'm using N6P for a year now and updated to 7.1.2 is I'm not mistaken . My N6P is fully stock with locked bootloader , no tweaking etc.
Was casually browsing through my phone suddenly it restarted and into went into a bootloop. I can only access the bootloader. I have tried going into recovery mode which just starts the loop over again.
I have researched just about everything and tried a lot . I just cant seem to get it working .
I really want my personal data on it , its quite important . If there isn't any more choice, then I will be forced to wipe it but until then any suggestions? Please help , thanks .
By the way , my warranty just expired a week ago so luck is surely not on my side .

Sorry to hear about that. I had the same problem with my modded 6p and had a full backup on my pc and was still under warranty so it worked out fine for me. Unfortunately for you you are most likely not going to be able to fix it even from wiping it. I had the same problem and because I had an unlocked bootloader I was able to do much more than you could with flashing stock images. If you can't enter recovery then you most likely have a brick and can't fix it. I'm not sure if there is a way via adb and fastboot commands with a locked bootloader to retrieve data but I'll let you know ow if I find one. What kind of data do you have? Google usually syncs things like your photos and apps downloaded will be saved in the google play store. I hope this helped?

Yeah I've tried countless things but it all comes down to me not being able to access recovery. Please do let me know if you do find one thanks . I have some very important docs as well as images in it that I need it badly . I disabled that sync feature as it took very long (for me) to back up all the media. Guess it was a big mistake ....

Bootloop here too
Just tried to upgrade 7.1.1 (unlocked usb debugging enabled) to 7.1.2 using Skipsoft Toolkit. Upon reboot, it just keeps going thru the graphic animation. When I connect it it says 7.1.1 detected.
I am going to try again to upgrade it. Seems like it's working. problem is it says detected system is 6.0.1 now.
Hey, it also says it takes a while for the first boot, so I may have gotten all 21st century and impatient on it.
I also tried a factory reset after freaking out that I had laid a brick...
At least with the skipsoft toolkit I was able to communicate with it!
Here's hoping!
---------- Post added at 04:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 AM ----------
Well, although I can get to twrp, I am unable to do anything else. I can't find any clues that are up to date and it's a bummer
Didn't need to be a TWRP expert; just booted into recovery mode, selected the latest factory stock image and flashed it. back to a working nexus 6p and all i gotta do is re-root it, edit the build.prop to enable wifi hotspot (I'm on ATT) and all is groovy. Muchos props to mark and skipsoft toolkit!
Yesterday I also got a bootloop. My smartphone hovered and went into reboot. So it did not boot. It reboots. In the recovery he does not go.
Same here but with stock recovery
I am in the same exact situation. No root, everything stock and warranty expired a week ago. Coincidence..?
I have been able to enter the stock Recovery Mode, but from there I can't execute adb commands, only list devices and sideload..
is there anything else i could do from Recovery Mode ?
Thanks

Yes. If you haven't wiped/factory reset yet, you can load a newer OTA image from Recovery. Same or older OTA will not work. Set the device to update from ADB and then send it from PC. If you have wiped the phone, obviously the OTA won't work. This will work with a locked bootloader and no usb debugging enabled.

HI
Can you please send a photo? I could help you better :highfive:
hello there, I am having a problem with my Huawei P8 Lite, few months ago I Unlocked it booloader, Installed Twrp Recovery, Root it and then Upgrade it to
Marshmallow Stock ROM, EMUI 4.0, Build No. ALE-AL21C185B188, I am sure it was Offical Build,
When I bought it Box Packed, it was on Lollipop stock ROM, EMUI 3.0, Build No. ALE-AL21C185B188. On Marshmallow it was running smoothly, I did change the BootImage or Animation, but it was lacking some features, like Camera Fuzzy and no guest mode or so, then i installed Xposed to get more Features, and I guess then Substrance theme, there it got problem, so tried to reinstalled the ROM again after totally wiping. I just reboot it once I guess after flashing the ROM it just turns on show Boot Image, no further booting, just stuck at the screen, I tried again and again wiped it flashed it. But no Use, fortunately I boots into Twrp Recovery and Fastboot mode also, so I am sure there is absulotely a way to get it worked. But obviously I m not the engineer so I am calling u Guys to Plz help me Out. I tried whatever I could understand, I tried to get help from my local fone mechanics but they also just couldn't figured it out, as they are casual android dudes, not got intact with EMUI's. I would be very thankful if Anyone of uguys help me sort my problem, will b waiting for urs advisory and informative response.

Hi, I'm hoping to find some help with rescuing a TB-x304f that will not boot past the bootloader. I was trying to root it and got TWRP installed but when I flashed SuperSU it will no longer boot to the OS. I've tried booting the stock recovery and doing a factory reset and it says it is completed but when I reboot it just keeps going to the bootloader and choosing Start to load the OS doesn't make a difference, it reboots back to the bootloader. I've downloaded TB-X304F_S000038_170703_ROW_QFIL.zip and tried using QFIL but it fails with

I also downloaded system-tb-x304f-s000038-sparse.img that I found in a thread and flashed it using ADB and it said everything completed successfully but it still just boots to the bootloader.

QFIL is such a pain to work with. I was in a similar situation with my TB-8704V, and spent days trying to work with QFIL and TWRP.
But the simplest solution is to use the 'Lenovo Smart Moto Assistant'. It's such a powerful tool. The firmware can be downloaded and flashed with a few clicks. The tab was back to life in a few minutes. The way it worked, seems like it also used the edl mode. I don't see any reason to use QFIL on a Lenovo device again.

suhridkhan thank you, you are a lifesaver!!
Lenovo Smart Moto Assistant worked perfectly! It's crazy that after some hours of searching I came across QFIL, Lenovo Downloader, MiFlash, Qualfast but never saw anything about Lenovo Smart Moto Assistant. Thanks again and hopefully this will benefit other people in my situation!
