We have a problem. I'm a bit rusty. I formated my phone (so there's no OS). I can't figure out how to put a ROM on here. I was on lineage 18. I didn't have call or text. Had internet. Anyhow, long story short.... I can boot into TeamWin. I can get to bootloader, download mode etc. I'm unlocked, S-on. What can i do to get an os on here?

I've been messing around with my phone, trying to flash CWM and CyanogenMod (to no avail), and yesterday something happened. I woke up, my phone was dead so I started charging it. It booted into the Stock OS (the one that ships with the G2--build D20010o I think). Shortly after, a message appeared on the screen about an update the phone was going to install (I'm assuming one that AT&T was pushing to my phone), and shortly after it powered down on its own. I have not been able to get it to boot into the OS since.
Before all of this happened, I rooted the phone with IORoot, tried to flash CWM (I think successfully), but was not able to install CyanogenMod, so I flashed an earlier build of the stock OS (D20010o), rooted it again (I'm not sure that I had to--I think it stated that my phone was already rooted), tried to flash CWM again (unsuccessfully this time), and I gave up. Then this problem occurred.
Every time I try to power on the phone, the LG logo flashes, and the screen stays on, but it's black. If I try to do a factory reset via the hardware buttons, I am able to see that screen, but as soon as I follow the instructions of pressing the power button twice, it says that it's initializing the reset, but then the phone's screen goes black again--not sure if the screen is on or off, though. The LED light is also not on during any of this.
I'm unsure what to do. I've had the phone for about 6 months, but I had not owned an Android before that--iPhone user for 3 years. I obviously did not do enough research or ask enough questions, but I would like my phone to be in a usable state. I would greatly appreciate any help that anyone can give me!
NEVER take an OTA with a recovery.
Use the lg flash tool to go back to stock

Sorry, should have also mentioned that I can't boot into Download Mode. I'm assuming there's no .kdz file for AT&T, and the other method in that link requires Download Mode. :/
A Moto G4 Play xt1609 Verizon phone. Locked bootloader.
What I can do:
Boot into bootloader (From now on will be known as BL)
This is actually the default boot. It doesn't loop (anymore). Instead, it goes straight to this. The same goes for recovery. Attempting a Vol up or 'recovery mode' from BL. Turning the phone off will have itself turn right back on.
What I've done:
Taken it off the side of the road caked in mud
Bag of rice
Taken it apart and gotten dirt out
Sodded a connector for the battery to make contact with
I am physically attached to this phone by now
Got it into a boot loop
Got into BL
Flashed STOCK rom files (nothing else as BL is locked by Verizon)
Before the stock flash, it would default into a bootloop. Same for recovery. Now it defaults into BL, so I know I've made progress. I can't tell you what the previous owners did to get it here. I can only tell you what I'm working with.
Again, both normal and recovery boots into BootLoader. Phone auto reboots into Loader.
PLEASE tell me theres a thing to do next. I want this thing to live again!
Does fastboot recognize the device?
So here is my predicament, I got a warranty Axon 7 replacement. Was going through the procedures to get everything setup. I got everything done and flashed RR. Booted up RR and then hit the "Enter Password Screen", which I remember from my first time the data partition needed to be reformatted with a new file system. Here is where my idiot self screwed up. I accidentally chose the system partition used xfat 4 and now TWRP won't load back up. I have one of those devices where EDL is not longer accessible from the hardware keys, it boots into DFU mode instead.
Things I've tried:
- I've tried getting into EDL mode from fast-boot modifications, It simply reboots normally and the whole system is frozen
- I've tried Re-Flashing TWRP using the Axon 7 Toolkit and it freezes on the TWRP load screen. Any solution to completely re-flash stock software includes getting into EDL mode, which I'm unable to do with the hardware keys. (My old Axon 7 gets into it just fine still)
- (update) Tried to flash a new TWRP image via fastboot as well. It's still frozen on the TWRP load screen.
Things I can do
- Get into Fastboot
- Get to a Twrp loading Screen
- Sit on the ZTE logo or unlocked boot loader screen at startup
If anyone can be of assistance, I'd greatly appreciate it. I really do love this phone! If you need more info just ask, I'm happy to provide it. Generally I figure these things out when I screw up(which has happened more often than I care to admit) but I'm honestly stuck here and at a loss of what to do to fix this issue. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love your help!
UPDATE/EDIT - I figured out a solution! I pulled a factory Image from the EDL Files and pushed it via fastboot. I'm not back into TWRP! Wahoo!
Hello everyone, just wanted to say a quick thanks, after successfully rooting and installing custom roms on two phones thanks to the information on these forums, third time turns out to be a charm and I managed to hard brick my new P10 lite.
The situation right now:
no charge light, no combination of buttons will do anything, phone is dead and will not boot or vibrate.
my computer will recognize that a phone is connected, for example Hisuite will pop up when i connect the phone, and in device manager, it shows Lemobile android device and the submenu says Android bootloader interface.
how i got here:
i was trying to install lineage 14.1 from this haky86
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8...m-lineageos-14-1-huawei-p8-lite-2017-t3649292
but before i did that, i used this guide to install twrp and supersu:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/twrp-how-to-root-p10-lite-t3617418
everything went fine, on the stock operating system i had root and system was running.
when i installed lineage, i lost root and couldnt figure out how to get it back. so i used this guide to restore the stock system and was going to try again from the beginning.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-lite/help/original-service-rom-huawei-p10-lite-t3688097
however, when i tried to reinstall lineage for the second, third and fourth time, i kept getting stuck in a bootloop with the lineage animation. it seemed to me that i needed to flash the vendor image, and i found a guide on xda how to do it, but it wouldnt let me flash to the vendor partition. (sorry, i dont recall the exact error and i cant get there anymore :/)
so in massive frustration and desperation, i tried to use this method:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8...uide-unbrick-huawei-p8-lite-2017-pra-t3713574
which i know is for a p8 and i never should have tried to install it, but it went through the whole download process and at about 50-60% on the recovery the phone went black and never turned on again.
i have read that perhaps disconnecting the battery for a few minutes might help? or is this something that dc unlocker can help with?
any advice would be greatly appreciated. if more information is needed, please let me know.
Hi,
Have you tried completely turning off your phone (pressing on/off button for roughly 20 seconds) and then booting into recovery (pressing Volume Up and Power key simultaneously for rouhgly 10 seconds)?
Best,
Kenny
Thanks for the reply, but as I said, no button combinations elicit any response. The only sign that the phone is not completely dead is that it will be recognized by my computer as an android phone, but adb (for example) says no device is connected.
lineage gives you bootloop due to wrong data partition format
bricked my p10 lite several times same ending
only way that always gets the phone back to life is flashing lineage, i took haazan's one
BUT BEFORE flashing the lineage 14.1 zip check partition format is ext4
when back on lineage and stock ROM is wanted boot into twrp and re change format to f2ts or how it is named and flash the stock zip
unbricked
edit:
saw your second post too late
if the phone does not response on any button(s) maybe adb sideload command for change partition format and then sideloading the lineage zip is a way?
I have a similar problem, I have a custom rom (Elemental) but I flash another custom rom, it was normal, in the reboot it not turn on, only is in fastboot mode, i flash original system, cust, boot, and another but it is the same, help me please
So, i have dusted off my old Z2 tablet, and wanted to update it to LineageOS 15.1. iam following the guide on Cyoanomods site. (Cant link, since i am a new member)
I have "rooted" it with sonys own guide. No problem there.
I have installed the ADB and fastboot on my pc. Can connect to it no problem.
Boot to bootloader via ADB no problem. Then i try to flash TWRP to recovery , it says OKAY to both sending and writing.
But the device just boots as normal, no matter if i use the reboot recovery command or by using the devices buttons. Just a standard recovery seems to happen.
The only strange thing i can think of is that the flash goes fairly fast, both tasks finishes in 1.6 seconds. Dont know if that is normal.
Tried to search around almost all day, but nothing gets any clearer. Found something that TRWP may not even work on the xperia units since it uses some other kind of boot partition.
Any ideas?
hi possla,
I have also just brought my Z2 tablet out of the sink and now I want to flash it with LineageOS 15.1. First, a question, do you have a current link to LOS15.1 for me?
Apart from that, I still remembered my fights with the tablet a few years ago, I flashed TWRP for backups, but when I flashed a new system it did not work with TWRP, so I have the CWM recovery 6.0.4.6 (Touch) on that Flashed tablet, so it worked fine, just try it.
If you had a LOS15.1 link for me it would be great, thanks in advance!
Greeting Torsten
Z2 tablet

Same problem for the past 2 years
Shut the device down. Switch it on. Wait until the led turns green. Now hit a volume button several times
Hi, i don't know if other thread's members encounter the same problem, but for me there is no light during boot form the device. Maybe it's only on this device but i can't get the solid green light during ADB mode. In this case i'm unable to enter Recovery Mode too after flash several times ...
