Bricked D802 - Download mode OK but NO recovery

Hi there,
1. Rooted my phone using ioroot
2. Installed TWRP using AutoRec
3. Rebooted into Recovery
4. Mistakenly wiped everything from my phone using TWRP
5. Pushed CM13 and GApps to my phone using ADB
6. Tried to installed both simultaneously using the TWRP queue option (CM13 first in the queue)
7. Phone rebooted, LG Logo displayed and went to constant black screen after 1 second
8. Can not access recovery mode anymore
9. ADB doesn't recognize the phone anymore
10. I still can access Download Mode using the Vol Up button and plugging the phone to PC using USB cable.
11. Can not install stock ROM using LG Flash Tool. It crashes when reading phone information
12. However the LG Support Tool seems can recognize my phone with Software Version: D80230C and it seems that the "Upgrade Recovery" button works in "Options" menu of it (but canceled it as it downloads 1.6 GB ROM).
So:
1. Seems that I have wiped recovery from my phone
2. Download Mode accessible
3. ADB unusable
Any possibility to push TWRP to my phone without ADB but with Download Mode?
It's new year holidays in Iran and there's no repair center open here.

Heya,
Got in a really huge pickle myself yesterday by installing a bootstack, plus I wiped everything as well. Lost the recovery and LG logo showed for a sec when booting. Fortunately I got it to work again and I'm sure you can too.
So here's what you do:
1. (may not be necessary) Check if your phone is in fastboot mode after the 1 sec boot logo and also if you connect your phone with the PC will you see a lot of partitions. If yes then get yourself the handy tool called SRKTool. Open it up, choose "4" to go to fixing options, then choose "5" to unbrick and choose your model. Next just look at what they write you.
2. Get yourself a "LGD802AT-00-V10b.....tot" tot file which you can find in the forum.
3. Watch the video explaining how the process works and also download the required files mentioned in the video description "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJtcPNklrfw".
4. After following the video you will hopefully have a working phone with android 4.2.2.
5. The rest is up to you; flash a KDZ Lollipop ROM and using SRKTool to root and put TWRP to use that or flash CM13.
To sum it up, there is a way out of this problem.
Good luck!

Nvidia Shield 2015 16GB stucked on Nvidia Logo after flash 6.1 - how to solve

Hey guys.
After the time I spent trying to unbrick my softbricked shield 2015 16gb, I decided to share how I was able to solve it.
I was on 5.2 and decided to update to 6.1 since the developer image was released and my previous upgrade from 5.1 to 5.2 with flashfire run so smoothly so what could go wrong??
After install lastest flashfire 0.73, I select all but data on the flash firmware package, and let it run.
I had my shield on 5.2 rooted and with TWRP as recovery.
After flashing vendor.img it restart and get stucked on the nvidia logo, and there was where
my problems started.
After 30 min I switched off and on again and same thing. Nvidia logo and nothing more. 1 hour after that I finally was able to go into bootloader mode.
I needed to use the default USB cable that came with the shield connected to OTG and USB on my computer. As soon as I connect the power and the led goes on I pressed the power button until I was
able to see the menu.
From there I was able to run fastboot. I reinstall every build and the shield refused to back to life. Flashed successfully but wont go through nvidia logo.
I enter recovery and did a reset assuming I had some problem with my data. No luck. I start to assume my shield has a hardware problem.
I downloaded both the stock recovery and the developer image 6.1, 6.0, 5.2, 5.1.
Tried to flash all of them one by one. Nothing worked. It complete the flash process but after reboot keep stucked on the logo.
Lots of time reading XDA and googling it I found a TWRP 5.1 flashable zip image, and in last resort I download it, reflash TWRP and flashed the 5.1 zip image.
It worked!!
I run the wizard as a new shield, and return to TWRP and flashed SuperSu 2.79. Rebooted, and install flashfire and run again the process with the 6.1 developer image.
This time flashed ok, and I finally get 6.1 rooted and working perfectly.
So resuming all the steps for those who dont want to read all
If you are stuck on Nvidia logo after flash 6.1
1 - Download firmware 5.1 zip TWRP flashable (search on XDA)
2 - enter bootloader on your shield hardware mode. Connect the OTG port on Shield using the default USB cable, and after connecting the power and the green light turn on press the power button until the bootloader menu appears.
3 - Assuming you already had the shield drivers and ADB installed on your computer, go to TWRP recovery or install it. I flashed TWRP 3.02 (once again search for it on XDA). fastboot flash recovery "twrp filename.img"
4 - Boot to TWRP and upload the firmware with the command adb push "firmware filename.zip" /sdcard/
5 - Upload also the SuperSu 2.79 binaries. adb push "supersu filename" /sdcard/
5 - from TWRP install the firmware and let it run. It will generate some errors but it will work.
6 - Reboot and complete the wizard.
7 - Reboot to TWRP (you can activating developer mode, and run adb reboot recovery from inside the androidsytem) and flash the SuperSU
8 - Reboot again and install the latest flashfire.
9 - Download the 6.1 developer image (search XDA for it)
10- Run flashfire and install the firmware package. Thats it!
Hope this will help someone

Really really stuck in recovery..

Hi guys
SO Ive tried a number of things.
Im currently stock in recovery or fastboot.
It happened after I applied a substratum theme on 8.1 Resurrection Remix and I restarted the phone because it froze on applying the theme.
No mater what I do I always end up in recovery.
Things tried so far:
Everything besides ext. Sd wiped numerous times before and after reinstall.
Full restore including everything (bootloader, recovery, cache, all the restore options you can use in TWRP aka the full monty. based on Fulmics 4.2 ive used to restore beforehand)
Full reinstall of Resurrection Remix
Full reinstall of Fulmics
Reinstall of TWRP
Reinstall of MElina TWRP
Each and every reinstall and restore takes me promptly to TWRP just after the LG logo..
My question is, how do I fix this?
I have full access to both fastboot and recovery

Lgup and uppercut clean flash

Thanks do you know how I get Windows 10 to detect it as a LG handset not just ADB or Bootloader interface? LG USB drivers are installed.
It does recognize it as portable device. (probably MTP mode as I have full access to)
Edit 2: I discovered as soon as I plug in USB on the PC the phone boots up and into TWRP even if I've turned it off prior to that

So I thought locking the bootlooker was a good idea.. Apprently not as I now can't get past "Your device is corrupt" screen.
I can almost boot into bootloader until the last confirmation "delete userdata screen" after where it goes back to "your device is corrept" screen..
Can get into iMEI display screen - Never seen that one before

Power off your phone and when the screen turns black press and hold vol up and plug in your usb cable. Your pc must find your G6. Then download a stock rom and flash it with lgup and uppercut.

Phone bricked after installing LinageOS 17.1 - System UI Crashing

Hi,
Today I tried to install LinageOS 17.1 on my Huawei P10 lite (at start, still completely Stock Rom).
Unlocked bootloader following procedure in https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-lite/how-to/p10-lite-bootloader-unlock-june-2020-t4113315, worked great.
Installed TWRP following https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-lite/development/recovery-twrp-huawei-p10-lite-t3953890 ; also here, no problem.
Then I tried installing LinageOS following this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-lite/development/rom-lineageos-17-1-huawei-p10-lite-t4064115 . Here I ended up with the Linage OS System UI that constantly crashes, restarts, crashes again etc.
This problem is mentioned in the same thread but none of the solutions seems to work for me.
I tried to downgrade the TWRP to the older 3.3.1 and then redo the entire installation procedure => No success
Then I tried wiping and formatting all the caches/data that was mentioned during the thread + re-executing the entire installation procedure => Still no success.
Can anyone help me?
What could also be relevant:
In TWRP I cannot seem to copy data to the device, whenever I try to do that via the File Manager (I am using Linux Mint 20) I can see the device and its internal storage but transferring data is horribly slow (it would take 5 hours 45 minutes to transfer a 3 MB file) or just fail. I also tried this in a (virtualized) Windows 10 installation with the same results.
When earlier today (before having installed LinageOS) I tried to transfer files, it worked very well. Also, I tried it with multiple USB cables just in case it might have been a faulty cable.
Pushing a file via adb push doesn't work as the device shows up as "unauthorized". The installation of the patches (magisk, los_patches_warsaw, opengapps etc.) I did using ADB Sideload which seemed to work nicely as well - really making me thing that the USB transfer issue is not hardware-related...
Furthermore, I know this is a noob question but anyway: the procedure says "flash los_patches_warsaw.zip". How exactly should this be done? Copying the file to the internal storage from a PC (which I cannot do, see above) and installing it via TWRP Install? Flash via Fastboot (to what destination)?
Tx in advance!

I've had this issue as well, what I did was disabled dm-verity and forceencrypt using https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389 after flashing system in fastboot and then I flashed los_patches_warsaw.zip from SD Card (MTP is broken in older twrp, use 3.4.0, also try this at your own risk).

Thanks. I solved it in another way meanwhile.
I reinstalled the stock recovery (which I was able to do by choosing the E-Recovery option in the "your device's bootloader has been unlocked" screen after startup. It reinstalled the stock recovery and ROM.
After that I installed the image from OpenKirin (it didn't need TWRP - even more, only the stock recovery is supported if using OpenKirin), and then it worked like a charm.
Just one thing, I cannot find how to update the OpenKirin installation except for flashing it via Fastboot (no option to auto-update). I wonder if it is even possible?

I think it's only possible by dirty flashing it, also a little correction for my last post, I meant internal storage not micro SD card.

it's a shame the original LOS 17.1 thread is closed.
My experience with WAS-AL00 (china version) on macOS:
After I flash LOS 17.1 ROM, "fastboot reboot recovery" doesn't reboot the device into recovery. Then I unplug the phone, and reboot into system, I came across system UI crashing constantly. After managing to get through to the main screen. Plug the phone, "adb reboot recovery", then flash los_patches_warsaw from microsd card (you need to copy the file to a microsd card and insert it into the phone). Then reboot system, this time the screen is black. only long press power button show three options "power off", "restart", and another one i don't remember. @KinteLiX 's method didn't work for me.
Then I tried stock recovery with openKirin (worked), Twrp 3.4.0.0 with openKirin (also worked, even though they state that only stock recovery works with their ROMs).
Last I tried twrp 3.4.0.0 with AOSP 10 from @DarkJoker360. It works.
Note: after flash the ROM, power off the phone, and long press three buttons volume up, volume down and power at the same time, and you will boot into twrp. If it shows update fail, then reboot and try to get into erecovery and wipe data/factory reset and then power off, long press three buttons simultaneously and you will be able to boot into twrp, if not, wipe data/factory reset again in erecovery (I accidentally found out about this. before this I was unable to boot into twrp after flashing any ROM, "fastboot reboot recovery" doesn't work). then do as the thread shows.
update: making a call doesn't work with AOSP 10 on my device.

The system crashing should come from the integratet AOD overlay....there should be a solution to solve that issue but i didnt rember the correct way how to. Just search in the p10 lite forum here on XDA.

Root, flash recovery and custom ROMs. Only for LG G6 H872 (20g original firmware)

This is a much easier way to flash a new recovery and custom roms. Besides using a PC / USB cable for unlocking the bootloader, all the process can be done straight from your device.
IMPORTANT: This procedure is only valid for LG G6 H872. Other G6 variants will end up bricked. All partitions will be wiped, this means that all the files needed must be saved to your external SD. It’s been tested with 20g firmware.
Prerequisites:
LG G6 device with original Oreo 20g firmware and fully charged
External SD card
Download and install su98.apk, Root Checker and Flashify
Download this specific TWRP version and save it to your external SD
Download Magisk and save it to your external SD
(Optional) Download latest TWRP to flash A10+ custom roms and save it to your external SD
0. Backup everything
1. Unlock your bootloader, otherwise you will brick your device. You can follow this guide.
2. Disable Google Play Protect (from PlayStore) or you won't be able to go on with the next step
3. Install su98.apk, open it and tap INSTALL NOW (leave the checkbox blank)
4. Install Root Checker and open it to verify that your device is rooted
5. Install Flashify and open it to flash TWRP (recovery_h872_20180813-1.img)
6. Turn off the phone (at this point, if the phone boots to Android you will have to start over from step 3).
7. Reboot into recovery (press and hold Volume Down and Power buttons together for a few seconds. When the LG logo appears, release the Power button while keep pressing the Volume Down and then press the Power button once more. Once you see a white screen, use Volume keys to choose "Yes" and Power button to select the option, you will have to press “Yes” twice).
8. Once in TWRP (be patient, takes some time to load) a “decrypt data” legend will appear. Press cancel. Then swype to allow system modifications. After that, go to Wipe / Format data and confirm by typing yes.
You are now able to flash any Stock ZIP (not KDZ). If this is your choice, remember to flash Magisk after flashing the ROM. If you want to flash any other custom ROM, jump to the next step.
9. Still in TWRP, flash Magisk to keep your device rooted
10. Flash the latest TWRP. Go to reboot options and tap Recovery
11. Once in the new TWRP, wipe system, data, dalvik, cache
12. Flash Rom + Gapps + Magisk and reboot to system

Unlock bootloader LG G6 - H872
Root LG G6 - H872 without PC
Special thanks to Man Stevo for sharing this!!

LG G6 H872 back to stock Oreo 20g
IMPORTANT: All partitions will be wiped, this means that you must backup everything otherwise you’ll lose everything stored in the phone.
Prerequisites:
LG G6 device fully charged
USB cable
LG Mobile driver installed
Patched LG UP installed in the right folder (otherwise your device will not be recognized)
LG G6 H872 latest Oreo firmware (20g)
0. Backup everything.
1. We are going to flash this using the patched LG UP. Place the files in C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP. You can't just unzip it anywhere and run it, it will not find the model file.
2. Boot to download mode (power off your Phone. Plug one end of the USB cable to PC and while holding the Volume Up button connect the other end of the cable to your device. Release the Volume button once the device boots into Download Mode. To exit the Download Mode, press and hold the Power button until the device reboots)
3. Open LG UP and wait until the device model is recognized. Then choose partition DL
4. Pick the H872 20g KDZ and click start / ok
5. You’ll now get a list of partitions to flash, check them all and click start / ok
6. You may get a warning about additional modified partitions. Ignore it, and click ok
7. When the process is finished, the device will reboot
If the progress bar reached 100% and the device got stuck in the pink bootanimation, follow these steps:
Unplug the device and turn it off by holding Volume Down + Power (keep holding them down until it turns off)
Once the device is off, press and hold Volume Down and Power buttons together for a few seconds. When the LG logo appears, release the Power button while keep pressing the Volume Down and then press the Power button once more. Once you see a white screen, use Volume keys to choose "Yes" and Power button to select the option, you will have to press “Yes” twice.
The phone will now restore factory defaults and reboot to system
IMPORTANT
In case camera crashes when opening or you get an IMS error, you'll have to flash H87211h_00_0406.kdz (same procedure as above from step 0 to 7, just changing step 4 where you need to pick H872 11h KDZ), reboot to system (until you finish the initial wizard) and then flash H87220g_00_1228.kdz (again, same procedure from step 0 to 7).

Reserved

Works like a charm. Thanks
FYI, Going back to full working stock need to return to Android 7 firmware 1st (H87211h_00_0406.kdz); otherwise, you will get camera and IMS error.
Questions:
Does SkyHawk Recovery support stock firmware as TWRP can't backup and restore stock properly.

Worked here when getting back straight to stock 20g, but good to know for those with issues.
I didn't test any custom recovery to backup stock, so I don't know about that.
Thanks for reporting!

Has anyone else used this recently? I cannot get the phone to boot to recovery at step 7. I've tried:
1) press vol- and pwr until the LG logo appears, release power, and press it once more
2) same as 1) above, but pressing power button multiple times to get through the "your phone can't be checked for security stuff" warning
Both times, it just boots straight to Android.
EDIT: Using adb reboot recovery worked!

Yeah, it works @zolotiyeruki
Check the vídeo in the first post for more details with the whole procedure.

To follow up on this, I believe it's flagged because it is the exploit to get root that is seeing.
So it seems it's getting recognized by the anti-virus correctly and it's the desired functionality of the .apk.
(Anyone feel free to chime in to correct this if it's inaccurate.)

Download latest Magisk APK, rename it to ZIP and flash it through TWRP.
