LG C800
Device will not enter fastboot.
Can't get into recovery mode.
Each time it boots it hard resets. There is an unofficial CWM Recovery Rom on this forum from chui101 which is for this exact phone, but I have as of yet not had any luck in getting the phone to take it.
So far i've tried Flash_image recovery.img (renamed chui's CWM recovery file to recovery.img)
Doesn't seem to matter what I do the phone starts(LG on screen), resets (the LG goes away for a sec then comes back), does a hard reset (a white box with an arrow pointing out of it an to a little android), again resets the phone one last time for a "normal" boot.
I've tried a few different things to try and flash anything overtop of the stock recovery but nothing works. It seems like very early in the bootstrap is a command to do a hard reset and anything that gets put in AFTER that command is ignored. (And the phone hard resets and anything else it was supposed to do is gone.)
Device is rooted with SuperSU.
Phone is fully functional except that it hard resets every boot, and if its plugged in when off it doesn't go to a charging screen, it starts the phone 100% up.
Adb devices CAN see the phone.
I CAN get into Download (sometimes called Emergency) mode.
"reboot recovery" doesn't do anything but reboot the phone as described above.
I can't afford a new phone guys, so I'm over a barrel at this point.
i'll pay whoever provides meaningful help in getting this thing fixed.
You should start fresh. So, flash the stock rom FTF of your phone, then the phone should boot up normally. Then you could either root it and install a CUSTOM recovery, or flash a pre-rooted custom kernel that already contains a recovery. From there, just flash the custom rom you want
Just press thanks if I helped, no need for money
stock rom FTF?
From the factory?
I'd love to do that. But am bewildered as to how when every guide I've found says use fastboot -- which doesn't work on my device. And every guide without fastboot thus far has not worked. I've been reading 10 hrs a day for the last 3 days looking for a solution to this.
If there was a way to completely wipe the entire phone and then install stock rom I'd be glad to do it.... I have found no such guide... only those to replace recovery. (not a 100% clearing as if it came right off the line with no software yet installed)
Additional information:
mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/recovery-from-boot.p-bak
Spits out a "No such file or directory" error
I don't know about you, but for Xperia Devices there is a PC software called Flashtool to flash stock roms and custom kernels and stuff from the PC. There should also be a software like that for your device. You just download the stock FTF for your phone (just type in google "download stock FTF for LG C800") and flash it in Flashmode that should be working
One more thing, this issue is not called bricked
press thanks if i helped
There is an LG tool but it says current software is up to date.
Other option is run recovery, which just reboots the phone as is.
No, this software I am talking about is not made by LG or Sony in my case. It should be a general tool for all LG devices. it should root, flash, install busybox, etc......

LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL ?
Thats the one that so far doesn't work.
the one named:
KDZ_FW_UPD_EN ?
He doesn't appear to support GSM phones. Plus I hit "Read info from phone" button... it gets almost everything -- correctly -- then crashes.
IT wants kdz files... looking for them now... chui has a dl link for the stock recovery but even though its a few mb it looks like only a zipped folder hierarchy with no files.
Slightly mis-read. still not finding any "generic" flashing software
trying octopus now....
crashed....
run as admin..... ah... you need their hardware which is hundreds of dollars...
Flash image gui, phone is not supported.
ok, a couple cyanogen dev's have both told me i'm screwed. Imma try for the rest of today and then just never turn it off again.
ok, paying lg to fix it... anybody guess what that will cost?
Try flashing CyanogenMod on your phone as no stock firmware is avaiable currently for your phone cyanogenmod shall fix the problem and you should boot normally (first flash CWM)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752704 - flashing cwm recovery (do it!)
Flashing cyanogenmod (requires usb debugging on)
First to put the cyanogenmod rom in the sdcard use adb push - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929
Page 1 (Pre Requisites - http://droidnoob.com/update-lg-c800-to-android-4-0-4-ics-via-cm9.html
Page 2(The actual flashing part :victory - http://droidnoob.com/update-lg-c800-to-android-4-0-4-ics-via-cm9.html/2
Probably will fix the problem....
hi techmasta,
I'd love to flash cyanogenmod, but the phone never enters fastboot to flash anything. The first link you posted says to use fastboot. I can't do that. The phone doesn't goto fastboot, it runs its recovery first.
EDIT: if there is a way to force it while the phone is in download mode that could probably work.
secondly, I've spend more than 40 hours on this issue, mostly reading forums but still a great deal on google.
I'm pretty unhappy with google as neither of those droidnoob forums ever come up. And believe me, there isn't much out there referring to the lg c800 so they should have!
Hello,
Well this is my first time posting here. And my first time rooting a phone, I've rooted tablets before.
I bought an Lg Optimus MS769 and that same day I rooted it. I used this tutorial to flash the v20f T Mobile ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085344
After that my phone didn't look like Metro anymore my phone loaded like if it was a T Mobile one. I wanted to install CWM and a custom ROM but in some tutorials it said that I had to have unlocked bootloader which I didn't. After going through some tutorials somehow while using the R&D Test tool my phone got stuck in the S/W mode and would not go anywhere else. The only thing I was able to do was turn it on and off, no hard reset or anything. Now when I try to redo the tutorial I used to flash my phone it stops in step 11 when the phone update tool is updating. It just says that my phone is not connected, that I have to reconnect it and click restart to resume update.
Does anyone know how to get it unbricked and back to "normal"? I'ved tried fastboot and that seems to be the only thing I can do with my phone. But all it does is go to a black screen with the lg logo and it's inverted. After doing this it turned my S/W upgrade mode inverted too! I did noticed that the logo in the S/W upgrade mode was green and now when it got inverted it turned blue. Maybe this was my imagination. I don't understand fastboot though because I can't do anything there, I press all buttons but nothing happens. I try fastboot from this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119090 and when I get to step 14 I don't know what they mean by installing the drivers again. When I try to it just says they are up to date.
So can someone tell me in detail what to do? That way I don't spend too much time trying to figure out things because I'm short in time with work and school. Thank you and here a few pics of what my phone looks like the places where it appears on my computer.

Fastboot your phone, select option 5.
Fastboot again , this time use #1
type
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Remove the battery, unlpug the usb cable, press the volume+ and connect the phone to the computer. You should see S/W upgrade mode, Place the battery back in your phone. Try flashing with R&D Test .

What do you mean by select option 5 and then #1? When I'm in fastboot I can't do anything, its just the screen, no options show and nothing happens when I i press any buttons. I tried to do what you said and this what it looked like. When I go back to R&D the same thing keeps happening. It says there's problems communicating my phone with the pc.
This is how I fastboot it and how I did the fastboot erase cache like you said

I used the new fastboot you said. Well this got my inverted s/w upgrade mode fixed. Now it is normal and the little s/w logo is back to green. When I try to do the phone update it stops once again at 15%. The first time I flashed the v20f I had this problem but instead of going straight to s/w mode to upgrade the phone I had to just connect the phone and put it in lg software mode. When I did this and ran the update it automatically set my phone in s/w upgrade mode. But since my screen is only stuck in s/w I guess that is why it is failing the update. When I do run the fastboot at the end it takes me to the "yours" folder. Is there any files i can download and put in the yours folder and run them through the fastboot to maybe get the phone unstuck in the s/w upgrade mode?
Well I feel a little more relieved and thanks for your help.

I put all those commands then tried to do it again. Now it stops right at the Analysis part saying that USB cable and my phone are not connected. Or something it gets all the way to the Update part and also stops at 15%. After I did those commands I went again to do the faboot option 5 then 1 and tried it again and the same thing keeps happening. I even tried doing option 7 because my phone came with jb already and still no luck. When it is updating the phone does shuts off("disconnects itself") and then turns itself back on. I don't know if that is normal.
On the R&D test tool. What should the work directory be? I changed it at one point, is it the same as where you have the kds file in? The first time I did this I had phone mode in emergency and then I see another video that says that phone with v20f should keep phone mode in DIAG.

In fastboot, did you choose option 5 to flash x-loader & uboot as Lelus said? Most user with JB need to do this before R&D tool can detect their phone in S/W update mode (and get pass 15%).
For DIAG mode in R&D tool that will work only when you can turn your phone on and put it in LG software mode.
Last option please try to use LG mobile support tool to recover your phone. And to do this you must remove some lines added for offline flash from hosts file because it need to download file from LG server.

Yup I even did it again to test it. In fastboot I pick option 5, then option 1 to erase cache and then when I run the R&D tool It passes through analysis and download just fine. When it reaches the update I notice that at 4-5% the phone turns itself off or disconnects itself and then it connects back and reaches all the way to 15% and after a little while being on 15% it says that there is no connection between my phone and computer, to reconnect it and press restart to resume update.
The Lg tool makes me choose the phone I got and I picked the metro pcs ms769 and downloads the drivers. I tried doing the tmobile p769 but they only have the t mobile p769bk and when I choose that one it says files not found when downloading. So i proceeded with the metro pcs ms769 once I connect my phone and its detected I go to options and upgrade recovery. It then automatically finds my IMEI number to start. Like on the R&D tool I get past analyzing pc settings and download even though the download takes about an hour. When I get to the update it stops around 4% after the time elapsed reached 3 and a half hours I just closed it.
When my phone first got stuck in S/W mode I could unplug it and it will still be there, even when I turned off the phone and took out the battery. After a while now it only turns on when it is plugged in into the computer, if it is unplugged nothing happens when I try to turn it on.

If lg tool doesn't work , nothing probably will, unfortunately you might not be able to restore your phone. I remember few people in same situation. Hopefully the warranty will cover it.

Hello akwlb,
First of all I will say just one thing that is don't lose hope, OK. Now listen to me carefully. I have also faced exactly same situation. I was using my LG L9 P765 with stock JB V20A ROM, Unlocked Boot loader and Touch CWM(Custom Recovery) installed on it. Apx. A month ago I got a notification from LG that a newer version of ROM is available to download. I got excited and downloaded that update and installed it, without thinking that I have installed Custom Recovery not the Stock one. So phone goes off to install updated and restarted, LG logo appears and then CWM screen. I thought that it’s a normal issue, so I turned phone off and started it back but again same thing happened. After that my phone never booted up. For next 10 Days I tried every know trick that I know about rooting and flashing. I searched the whole XDA Forum, Thousands of other forum & sites but no luck. I was facing worst situation than you, coz m having connection error on LG flash tool, no ADB working, no fast boot working. so at the end one day I was trying different tricks on l9,I flashed some "omap" drivers form LG Optimus G forum, I flashed those drivers successfully, the phone goes off and it never turned on after that, no any response to pc, no power on. So I ended up with a fully bricked L9. After all of this I have only one hope left and that was Warranty. When nothing left to do, I took my Phone to LG Service Centre. I told the LG Service Guy that "A few days ago I got an update notification, I updated the device, but it never booted up again". Service Guy took my phone and connected it to his computer, but there was no response. He tried several other tricks but L9 didn't responded any one of them. So the service guy issued me a Service Job Card saying, “Collect your phone after 10 Days, I have to change its mainboard". I asked him whether this will be done under warranty, he replied "YES". After 10 days I visited the LG Service Centre and collected my L9 in 100% working Condition, without paying any penny. So my advice to be take your device to Customer Care. Don’t worry about ROOT, even your device is rooted, may be LG guys not goanna repair it under warranty, but it is sure that those guys defiantly bring it back to normal. May be they charge for the repair of device, but it should not as high as you are not able to pay.
:victory:SO THIS WAS MY STORY HOW I GOT MY L9 BACK, EVEN AFTER TOTALLY BRICKING IT UP:victory:
THE ONLY THING GOT CHANGED IN MY L9 WAS IT'S IEMI No.

I recently went to unlock my phone via Z3X box, my phone was on 4.3 they said to downgrade to 4.1, I followed the steps using Cygwin Terminal in making a custom firmware, I flashed it via Odin and it passed, however was stuck at the Samsung Logo, no usally in this case I would boot into recovery and wipe data and cache, however my Home Button does not work, so I used my Jig to force in to download mode and flashed stock I747m 4.3, went to boot and same thing stuck at the Samsung logo???? any ideas what's wrong here???

Tried to factory reset after the 4.3 upgrade? Sounds like you might have borked your EFS partition with the z3x box, if a reset doesn't help...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471421
Some info from there might be helpful if you are still stuck. I know it is for the Note 3, but many of the same ideas apply, though the mount points are most likely different thus you can't just copy and paste those commands and hope it works (might even make it worse if the partitions are that different).
Is the Home button broken or just stopped working after trying to do this stuff?
Yeah the Home button just doesn't work when you press it that's why I needed the Jig to get in to Download Mode, and the phone was fine after trying with Z3X box it didn't do anything with Samsung tools because I was on 4.3 it started when I created that custom firmware and flashed it, haven't been able to get it to boot since that even with Stock Firmware..
Think you might need to check out this thread then:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549068
Sounds like an issue with the downgrade / bootloader deal. No Home button sounds like it might really cause some issues here though. Owning a repair shop, I'm pretty familiar with the S3 construction and it's pretty rare that the Home button stops working. Has it been repaired or gotten wet or something?
the phone was water damaged I just replaced the main board with a new one and the phone was fine minus the Home Button, and I have tried the SD card thing about 3 times now and it doesn't do anything???
My wifi kinda stopped working,so i restarted the phone. When the phone restarted it got stuck on bootloader and i cant move past it. I tried normal powerup,recovery all of which led to bootloader menu again and again with the same error "hab check failed,failed to validate boot image".
I tried flashing it with fastboot following this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52772182#post52772182
To know the android version i typed this command {mfastboot getvar ro.build.version.full} for which i got this {Blur_Version.23.201.3.condor_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03}
so i downloaded this firmware {XT1022_CONDOR_RETAILDSDS_5.1_LPC23.13-34.8_cid7_CFC.xml} the one which i could get.
then i ran those commands,heres the screenshot of those commands and the errors i got:

My wifi kinda stopped working,so i restarted the phone. When the phone restarted it got stuck on bootloader and i cant move past it. I tried normal powerup,recovery all of which led to bootloader menu again and again with the same error "hab check failed,failed to validate boot image".
I tried flashing it with fastboot following this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52772182#post52772182
To know the android version i typed this command {mfastboot getvar ro.build.version.full} for which i got this {Blur_Version.23.201.3.condor_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03}
so i downloaded this firmware {XT1022_CONDOR_RETAILDSDS_5.1_LPC23.13-34.8_cid7_CFC.xml} the one which i could get.
then i ran those commands,heres the screenshot of those commands and the errors i got:

Don't run the commands manually, use the .Bat file.
Might work
My Lg G5 (Tmobile) keeps on rebooting to recovery mode (TWRP) no matter what rom I flash. I tried using LG Up software but no matter how many times I install the driver phone is not recognized. Firstly I flashed Fulmics ROM then I installed LineageOS (Cyanogenmod) after that phone was working fine for a while till I saw an update and tried updating it to new nightly version. Please help me out if anyone knows how can I fix this issue.
You probably need to put the phone in download mode and then try LG up otherwise try pushing a rom that works through adb

Also make sure you use autoprime version of LGup

I am sure this method would fix it but I already returned my phone and got new one as I had 1 year warranty. I bought it from T-mobile and I locked the bootloader before turning in the phone so it doesn't look like I was trying anything fishy. Now instead of phone going to twrp each time it goes to boolop saying "device is currupted and won't boot". It won't go to recovery mode no matter what I do and hope I don't get charged from T-mobile saying this and that.
However, I am really grateful to all of you great people who tried their best to help and you sir actually threw me a solution but I was too impatient to wait for it. I know this method will work no matter what as I had been using this tool for my G2 in old days and fixed the worse bricks where I had to openup the whole phone take battery out and stuffs like this. I was looking for this method found everything but LG tool asked me for .dll file which I couldn't find anywhere and decided to give up on it...
Thank you for your help and now I know I am not going to be bricked anymore as I have this method to work with in future issues and am her waiting badly for Xposed to be available for Nougat.

Good to hear that, You are welcome,
And as you mentioned about "device is corrupted and won't boot", that's because you locked bootloader. And as you were using twrp which means modified system partition so phone said that. But you can still go to download mode and use the method to make it live or can try unlocking bootloader to start twrp.
I experienced similar situation. I thought I had to send my phone for repair. As I was able to put the phone to download mode, I used uppercut with downloaded kdz file from LG G5 development thread and restored my phone. I didn't use my phone for four days thinking that I had to take to a phone shop or send to service center. But after careful reading of unbrick tutorials, I brought my phone back to life. Now I can play flashing anything as I am confident that I can easily unbrick my phone.

A few days ago I got my G5 H830 and came with version 6.0.1 h83010i, looking for information on how to install custom rom, I read the post to install the .TOT file to be able to install TWRP and through this the Custom Rom, until there is Everything okay, I did everything right, but then I decided to go back to the Rom stock, on the night of that same day I saw that when I reboot my cell phone it stuck on the LG logo and it had some color pixels damaged (but no screen Damaged, if not because of small brick) then force a restart and continued the same, I did factory reset by stock recovery and then normal start, I went to sleep leaving it in 100% battery, and when I wake up in the morning the cell phone It is off, when I turn it on 5% and I get scared, then I wanted to go back to custom rom to leave those problems behind, but then when I install the TOT again and install the custom ROM it will restart half installed and any rom that installed it would stay Stuck and the LG logo and a bootloop until when it was flash the kdz several times until the cell did not want to ignite more, the pc does not recognize it or anything, I need help with this.
