Lg g2 no os at all

Hi!
First I tell you how I recently messed up my LG G2 D802.
I hadn't had a custom rom for ages and now I wanted to have one (This wasn't the first time. I've done this a lot earlier). I had always had root access, but not custom recovery. So the first thing was to install one and I chose to download Rom Manager from Google Play, and then install ClockWorkMod. So, when I was installing the custom recovery I came up with a problem: something went wrong during the installation (I have no idea why). When I booted the device, white letters and numbers appeared on the top left of the screen, saying something like: "boot certification error" and numbers like "[780] [800]" and so on. The screen went black and the phone didn't load the OS. So I was shocked of course because I had never had such a problem.
So, desperate for trying everything to find the solution, I tried tens of ways to try to fix the problem. Finally I read about thing called SRKTool. So I used it and ended up having TWRP on my device, and no OS at all. I tried to flash CM12 and CM12.1 (downloaded from the official site) but nothing works out. TWRP says that flashing the ROM is succesful but when rebooting the system it doesn't load the OS but it comes back to TWRP Recovery mode - WHATEVER I DO. I can't enter the Download -mode at all. I tried hard reseting (Power + Vol - keys), but once again it boots to the TWRP. I can't understand why the TWRP fails to flash the ROM even though it's saying the process was successful. Or maybe this problem is much more internal - and permanent.
After tens of XDA developers' threads I'm writing this here because I'm in need of help. I want to bring my G2 to back in life. I'm out of ideas. Can you help me? I tried to flash the stock firmware but guess what happened? The installation failed, and the device booted back to TWRP. So all I'm able to do is to use the TWRP Recovery. I appreciate your help. Thank you.
(Ps. I'm sorry if I break the rules by writing a new thread. My problem just seems to be so unique that I couldn't find help anywhere.)

If you have access to twrp than you can do what ever is needed
what twrp version douy you have?
enabel MTP, so you can copy from PC

The solution is easy. Download the stock rom for your model and install it with otg cable. The reason cm12 is not booted is because you need jb bootloader or caf bootstacks.

The current version is 2.8.7.3. Should I try other versions?

Did you solve the issue? Or is it still not allowing you to get into your F/W?

Hi!
I tried to install TWRP version 2.6.6.3, but it fails to flash it so I'm stuck with the version 2.8.7.3. All I'm able to enter is just the recovery mode. I can't enter the download mode so I can't flash the stock firmware.
Currently I'm out of ideas. I can't flash any OS, the TWRP fails everytime and creates errors.

Try flash bumped kernel like lp dorimanx then flash bumped bootstak then lp rom like cloudy or stock. Or google this: lg g2 unbrickable now xda ...that work for me

You'd think with all the other posts about problems there'd be something here by now.
Always thank those who are helpful...and just ignore those who aren't.

Mine happened when I wiped Internal storage from twrp. This caused the phone to only see 4gb of internal storage. Came to xda and it was suggested to flash back original boot.img. once that was done 4gb issue was fixed and the radio was gone.
I did indeed try every solution offered (thanks again for all the effort, DrakenFX and others). But, I've come to the conclusion that this is not going to get fixed until XTE releases US images. For other people's sake I hope I am wrong, but I myself decided to proceed with the exchange where I bought it, as I was right at the end of my 14 days (newegg doesn't seem to give the 30 days that xte does). I may be out of an Axon 7 for a while, so for now I am on my amazon ads, Blu R1 HD (with ads defeated

Is there a guide to go back to stock for the A2017G?
i'm on B02 with root and the bootloader still locked.
Like to go back to stock now that ZTE is working on an update to give the A2017G an unlocked bootloader.

Hi all,
I am currently experiencing a bootloop on my Chinese Axon 7. Some of you regulars may have seen me asking in other threads because I've tried to fix it myself, but I've kind of run out of options. Sincerely hoping one of you can help me out!!! I'll buy the winner a beer or 2, haha!
Back story:
Was on B07 with root (tenfar's tool) with locked bootloader and had some issues with the ROM. Like vibrating when I opened the camera and battery drops. So I decided to upgrade to B09. Placed the OTA on SD card and went to: Settings -> update. Worked fine. So I connected it to my PC and made a dump (tenfar's dump tool) of my recovery and boot and stored them. Then I ran the Tenfar's tool, the B09 version and it went like the last one. But when I booted I didn't have wifi, and other issues came up. So I thought: did I make a mistake? So I read it again, checked the COM port again... all checked out. And used Tenfar's tool again. After that it didn't even boot anymore! It plays the nice boot animation and then gets stuck on the end screen with all the pictures.
So after that I restored my dumped recovery.img and boot.img. This is when I knew something was wrong: it still didn't boot! I reset data/cache in the stock recovery: no boot. Still stuck at the end of the boot animation.
What I've tried:
- Flashing the stock B09 update.zip with TWRP.
- Flashing the stock B09 update.zip without updater-script 'assert' and 'get-prop' line. TWRP says 'update.zip is corrupt'. Doesn't install.
- The I put it on SD card and internal memory and tried updating it with stock recovery: 'sorry you cant sdcard upgrade'. That's all it says.
- ADB sideload stock recovery: 'cannot load update.zip'.
I tried different ADB versions, Windows and Mac, different drivers... I tried formatting SD card as FAT32.. Tried different SD card.. Doesn't make a difference.
TWRP log says it can't pass the Zip verification when I try that. If I turn that off it says re.product.name is wrong. But I checked build.prop and updater-script. It's the same! But somehow TWRP comes up with a different one. Also tried removing getprop and assert lines from updater-script. But then it says: ZIP file is corrupt.
TWRP log after trying original, stock B09 flash:
http://pastebin.com/cJivE2TK
Build.prop: moved from /system with TWRP:
http://pastebin.com/b6rryc2n
Build.prop: ro.product.name=P996A03
Updater-script:
Code:
getprop("ro.product.device") == "ailsa_ii" || abort("This package is for \"ailsa_ii\" devices; this is a \"" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "\".");
assert(getprop("ro.product.name") == "P996A03");
But TWRP log: ro.product.name=cm_ailsa_ii
So, yeah, I've been trying on and off for the past couple of days in between work and travelling. Got a back-up phone so it's not that bad. But I really like this phone! It's just been such a pain in the ass the past few days...
I tried researching online and reading all the XDA posts. It is my fault this has happened and feel such a newb for not being able to fix it myself
Many thanks in advance!

Dear All,
ZTE Axon 7 A2017 (Chinese version) Stuck on Bootloader mode.
Device after power on will Stuck on ZTE logo even power button press longer also will Off and came back to square one and the only way to power off is via selection on bootloader page via volume button which consists of Recovery mode, Power Off, Bootloader and some other mode which I can't recall.
History of this issue. Please bear with long story.
Manage to install MM ROM with B13 via sd card installation via update software in phone setting. follow by Unlocked bootloader and Install TWRP 3.1.1.0 then try few different ROM until one day when I use Xiaomi flashtool my PC crash half way through during flashing resulting in device with Pure Chinese ROM and TWRP also got corrupted, when I said corrupted because I install TWRP 3.1.1.0 but when I go to Recovery mode it shows TWRP 3.0 something. with this corrupted TWRP when I try to install ROM it will show loading but end result is NIL meaning same ROM nothing change.
Until this stage I never did a TWRP backup because all this while the ROM is Not my type of ROM from this junction when I boot back to TWRP and I did Advance Wipe most of it except external sd card thinking that I may be able to install fresh TWRP but my Recovery TWRP is residing in phone storage resulting in No more TWRP recovery software. next thing I did was I connect phone to PC and ran adb fastboot tool to detect device and managed to detect device in recovery mode and I make decision to Locked back the bootloader and did just that and Locked bootloader is Succes and it also Erased everything during the process.
To cut short the story after Locked back bootloader only Bootloader mode is accessible and when I connect to PC and enable Recovery mode (Black screen) and EDL mode (Black screen) from Windows PC Device Manager COM port able to see Qualcomm 9008 for this 2 mode.
I must admit after few days of trying to resolve this Stuck Bootloader issue I almost give up.
Then I remember this Woodo magic by jcadduno which recommends XM flashtool version 2016.08.30.0 but unable to flash after trying few version Xiaomi flashtool and the very latest and I mean from Xiaomi Flashtool webpage http://xiaomiflashtool.com/
version 20170425 that break the ice and finally able to load A2017U ROM because this US ROM my phone No Network detected.
From here onwards I unlocked bootloader and install back TWRP (Installation of TWRP via Axon7toolkit) because of Network issue since I got TWRP I install back A2017 ROM but still Not satisfied because Chinese ROM certain Apps having issue because of Google services and I chance upon this Conversion A2017 to A2017U ROM (Hybrid ROM caused ROM is US and Modem from Chinese Modem)
that I'm stay put right now and my phone now is A2017U model.
I hope this experience can help others with similar Stuck bootloader and those who wish to convert A2017 to A2017U ROM.
below is the link that I described Woodo magic.

Cheers.

I am stuck in a position where I can restore my nandroid backups but get Error 7
when trying to reinstall any Rom on a2017u I was able to fix the unlocked bootloop
by the EDL method. The Rom's are the same as the backups. I think I tried to role back to B29 Causing the bootloop) and have had problems ever since.
Should I try flashing A2017Uv1.1.0B32_Bootstack_by_DrakenFX since the Rooms are all B32?
The B15 and B19 Nandroid's still Restore fine.

Hello all,
i don't get onto forums very often but i thought this was a nice one to add to. i've rooted a few motorolas, a few ztes, a cat; i've also bricked those ztes, cat & a few samsungs. i'm dealing with two Axon7U's; one is factory MM-b29, the other is N-b35.
while screwing around with TWRP, i bricked the b35 (the b29 has been bricked for a month at this time) after i had it almost perfected. by perfected i mean a custom recovery & root user access fully acquired. with DrakenFX's {YOURS; thanks so much. i'm learning to get along with linux} extensive files created to save people from themselves i was able to unbrick the b35. albeit its CELLULAR DATA became unhinged; that's something i could've lived with except it was a loaner and had NO CAMERA! it's camera (along with the ability to push both volume buttons at once for say EDL mode...) was damaged having been beaten across a steering wheel several times. so with my newfound unbricking superpowers i decided to take another crack at the b29. managed to get it unbricked but couldn't get it setup with both TWRP & SuperSU without losing one, the other or, both. at times it didn't even boot up. i was doing pretty much everything cited above for reasons 'why'. best way to learn is by trial & error (if one can afford it).
the b29 is rooted right at this moment; i'm working on it as soon as i leave this posting. i used Axon7_EDL_Tool. i used Axon7root. i used MiFlash. i used Fastboot. I used ADB App Controller software too. back & forth i fought for three days mostly due to downloading glitches and i prevailed. i manipulated a stock OTA full system update.zip by happenstance and it Auto_Updated over itself. in other words it already had the same ROM installed. i don't know what it tested to realize it needed to update to what it already had. it didn't have CELLULAR DATA either. just like the b35, it broke somehow while flashing TWRP or SuperSU. funny thing is it still wanted to update that same ROM after it did. while perusing the system update setting(s) i noticed it had downloaded N-b15 and it wanted to update b29 AGAIN! i opted for the Nougat update. it did alright and appears to have fixed it's CELLULAR DATA too. i haven't looked at it since but i'm confident i can gain root user access with a minimal amount of effort.
The main problem i've had with dealing with bricked devices is the age of the file downloads. most of them are simply GONE!, expired links and whatnot. if i'd had a clear path say from a custom recovery and rooted boot image of my factory version or the path that leads to it, i'd have been fixed up long ago. i've found partial 'paths' if you will that almost get me there but no quite all the way. flashing images & zips through fastboot are different from their counterparts entered through TWRP or Emergency Download Mode which of course are both different too. three different ways to get into one's phone makes it almost impossible to keep them perfected.
i'm not sure i did what i'm supposed to regarding this thread. Thank you DrakenFX for your time & knowledge; you've saved my old Axon7!

Hello all update;
b35 Nougat phone is retired. b29 managed to update itself to b35 7.1.1. however, its CELLULAR DATA is still broken. i haven't managed to figure out how or where it's broken so i cannot fix it.
what i'm trying to do now is flash Magisk instead of SuperSU and using a TWRP version 3.0.3-1. heck i've used all of TWRP's versions in my efforts to reacquire CELLULAR DATA.
crazy part is the phone knows its CELLULAR DATA carrier and freely displays all of its hookup info. this is very frustrating.

How to unbrick my ZTE Axon 7 mini b2017g

Dear Seniors.
I am facing great hardship because my phone is stuck at boot logo.
No booting in recovery mode to flash another rom.
I did unlock bootloader of it by using tuliptool with success. After that i flashed custom rom in it. after reboot it is happening that.
Please suggest to recover it.

Did you flash twrp after unlocking? Did you make backup of stock ROM? Perhaps find a version of the factory firmware and flash that.

Dear I have no backup and i flashed TWRP recovery.......
It is to aware you that i did relock bootloader now my phone is working properly. but i am unable to enter recovery mode. !!!
Now my phone is running android 6.0.1 B02
But i am failed to root this rom uptill now due above mentioned problem.

I found software update notification but when i update an error accruing while update. (This update not compatible with this device"
In easy words......... my recovery.img has been corrupted. I have no idea to get rid of this situation.

I planned to unlock my Mini's bootloader this weekend. After reading this post, I decided to act later until the root cause has been figured out.

Several people myself included have been able to use tuliptool to successfully unlock and root the device.

mine is hard bricked too. but I think it is worse than the case listed on the op.
if you want to hard bricked these are the steps:
follow the procedure to install the Spanish ROM 6.1, than another android m b12, than finally the android seven......use tulip tool and install twpr fine, root ect. amazing ROM.......buuuuut......I lost my IMEI somewhere in this process, and the original FTM which had a small menu changes to another static one, without the menu.
I needed this menu to open the com port to fix the IMEI. than I had the brilliant idea to re-flash android M via twrp (without modifying the zip file to remove the recovery, something I knew so well from the older axon mini).
results:
-lost twpr because the stock ROM wrote over it,
-cannot boot the OS because I flashed android m but the phone had the aboot 7.
-i now have a brick
I need a genious to sujest something to bring it back to life........sh....t...sh...t.....sh...t
any chances I could inject aboot7 via ADB through my dead recovery which somehow the phone recognises? ADB shell still seems to be working
thanks

Error E3004 when trying to install any ROM on Samsung J5 (2015) SM-500FN

What I have:
I have a Samsung J5 (2015) SM-500FN which ran out of storage and basically hung itself up. There is no data I want to recover, but I want to install either a stock ROM or (preferably) something else like Lineage - I just want to get a usable phone again.
My problem:
I have tried to download *many* stock ROM
s from reputable sources like SamMobile (for this specific phone, but trying different release dates and country codes) but every single one of those ZIPs is corrupt, even when downloading from a different computer.
Flashing with ODIN anyway gives a FAIL result and a device that cannot boot, not even into recovery: It gives a green screen with the text: `An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software.`
Ironically, the Smart Switch software just says this device is not supported. The older Kies3 software lets me enter the exact model# followed by the serial# - but then it says this device is not supported. So neither Samsung software is usable, but I can still use ODIN.
Even with the phone in this broken state, I can install TWRP again. So it is not completely bricked. I boot into TWRP and copy a LineageOS ZIP file to /sdcard, but when I try to install that, the TRWP console says: `E3004: This package is for device j5nlte,j5nltexx; this device is .` Note how it doesn't appear to recognize that this device is indeed the model j5nlte!
Android.SE says that "E3004" means my TWRP is too old, but I use `twrp-3.1.1-1-j5nlte` which is currently the newest version for this phone.
I would also like to try a factory reset, but that requires the stock recovery which won't boot (see step 2 above).
My question: How do I get out of this catch-22?
It seems that if I could just get around that E3004 then I would be fine. But I have found no ways to trick the installer into ignoring that error.

Flash an updated twrp .IMG file which you can extract from the file here j5nlte (TWRP)
Just flash the img in twrp and reboot to recovery
Then with the updated twrp try flashing the rom again

THANK YOU! This did the trick. May I ask: what is the origin of that TRWP image? How could I have found that on my own?

No problem at all, glad all is working for you now. Happens all the time with people having the wrong recovery its no big deal but a lesson learned is always make a backup in twrp before going tinckering around with things or keep a copy of a rom, that you know works, on your SD card.
From the bootleggers pie rom thread.
The Dev of that also builds his own twrp for all j5 2015 models.
he's a really great guy to have supporting our j5 community

Stuck in Bootloop no OS, please help.

Hi guys,
I have been reading similar threads and trying to find a solution but could not find what could help and ran into other issues. Hope someone can help me fix this.
I was trying to flash a custom ROM. had the device unlocked and installed twrp using adb.
It was a mistake to not back up. I tried to flash the firmware + extendedUI rom + magisk. Only magisk gave some error.
tried to reboot and got stuck in bootloop. Entered Twrp tried to do it again so wiped data,system,cache and then realised my folder with the rom disapeared. So now no OS and not sure what to do.
I was trying to use adb sideload to push the new zips on the device but the sideload just disconnects at 8% Understood that might drivers might be at fault. . Been trying to find and update drivers and might have done some mistakes there, as chose to update unknown device automatically with device manager and now it disappeared as well.
I read about recovering with Miflashtool but got confused whether thats the right way.
I would prefer to install a custom rom like the ExtendedUI or AOSPextended.

Hi guys,
I have been reading similar threads and trying to find a solution but could not find what could help and ran into other issues. Hope someone can help me fix this.
I was trying to flash a custom ROM. had the device unlocked and installed twrp using adb.
It was a mistake to not back up. I tried to flash the firmware + extendedUI rom + magisk. Only magisk gave some error.
