I've been trying to flash my p768 for JB V20A VIETNAM. i used V20A TELCEL, MEXICO Before this flashing.
So I started flashing the KDZ file, followed all the necessary steps and finally when the process is at 15 percent, flashing stopped saying there is a problem with communication between cell phone and pc.
So i did the workoaround, remove the usb cable and wait for at least 10 secs and reconnect, then waited for all the drivers to install. After restarting the whole process it got stack still at 15 percent. Now I cannot get out of Software update mode even if I remove the battery and start the device again.
also i use Following method. and it dosent work. and at 15 percent, flashing stopped saying there is a problem with communication between cell phone and pc Again.
method:If you were on JB, the phone won't be recognized on "S/W Update" screen by the offline method. You must use the online method :
- Remove the lines you put in your "hosts" file ("127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com" and "127.0.0.1 csmgdl.lgmobile.com") then reboot your computer
- Connect your phone (on the "S/W Update" mode)
- Directly start "B2CAppSetup.exe" : it should detect your phone
- Click on "Customer Support" then "Recovery Phone" (see screenshot on http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2217710)
- Wait and pray... It can be long because it downloads the last KDZ file from official LG servers.
plz help meeee

forget about cwm,
hard/factory reset your phone ; turn it off, press vol- & home & power on
remove all lg drivers and software etc, reboot pc and install lg pc suit , try recovery from there

The LG Update Tool can install latest drivers for you: did you properly install them ? If your phone can start in "S/W Update" mode, the online unbricking method should work, that's why I think you have a driver issue. Did you also try on another computer with another Windows version ? (the most "driver friendly" version would be a Windows XP at least on SP2).

you need to install fastboot drivers twice, once before you run the omap4fastboot and again after running it when you see that mirrored fastboot text
i Was on JB V20A and i installed the root and the CWM and try to put cwm. to check if bootloader was still locked well it does.
and now im stock on L9 Security error.

This case is very simple to solve. When you try to install a custom recovery with your bootloader locked, the phone system detects it and give you a message of an error in security, like in your case. To solve this, you'll need to reflash your rom. By doing this, the KDZ will reflash the original recovery and you will be able to access your phone/recovery again.
Step by step:
1. You need to install fastboot drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119090
Turn off the phone and remove the battery. Download THIS and exctract it to C:/. Open device manager in windows (Rigt click on Computer > Manage > Device manager) and connect your phone without the battery to pc via USB cable. Look in device manager for a new hardware connected, right click on it and click in update drivers. In the window open, select "Search for software driver in the computer" and in the window open select insert C:\fastboot\usb_drv_windows, tick the option "include subfolders" and advance. A pop up window may appear asking you if you do want to install the driver, choose YES and the drivers will install.
2. Navigate to the folder you extracted (C:/fastboot) and double click on start.bat. It will ask you for administrator privileges, just say yes.
3. Select your phone model (2 for P760, 3 for P765, 4 for P768 and 5 for P769). It will ask you to turn off your phone and remove battery. When you done with that, press enter. It will now ask you to insert USB cable with the phone without the battery and after 4 seconds re-insert the battery. Onde you done with that, it wil return a message to press any key. In this step the fastboot drivers may be installed again. Don't worry, it's normal
4. Remove the battery again, wait a few seconds and re-insert it.
5. Plug the USB cable in the phone with the battery in and let VOL UP pressed. The phone will enter in SW Update mode.
6. Follow THIS to reflash your rom. A list of avaiable official roms of different models is HERE. Remember to only flash roms made for your phone model or you may get some issues.
7. You're all done I recommend using THIS TWEAK, the phone becomes more responsive.
*** If you flashed a JellyBean rom (V20X.kdz) you can easily root with THIS and if you want CWM recovery use THIS ONE ------ REMEMBER NOT TO FLASH ANY CUSTOM ROM WITH THIS RECOVERY BECAUSE I'M CONSIDERING YOUR BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED AND FOR THIS REASON, YOU CANNOT FLASH CUSTOM ROMS WITH CWM, IT JUST DOESNT WORK!!!
Hope it help you
It works!!

Thank you so much. Yes my P769 BOOTLOADER definitely is locked and I can't even root it with all methods provided in xda, I use exactly your method to get my L9 back to life -- although I have to flash it back to original stock but at least it's BACK! Thank you so much. I saw some other people have the same issue but they can't make it work, hopefully your answer shed the light to ALL!
security error just use the lg pc suite and remove the lines or the host put recover via recovery and put your imei and it will start to download the stock Rom

I tried this method and the offline kdz method and here is the trouble I am having.
1. With this method I do everything perfect the device shows up for a couple seconds then it disappears so I cannot go any further.
2. With the offline fix I followed the OP to the letter and when I get to the part where I click on "normal web upgrade" I open it and start the upgrade as stated in the OP and nothing. I get the retry or cancel internet warning and ignore or close it and it will not even try pushing the file.
Anyway I have tried 2 different machines to no avail I am wondering if anyone has had a similar problem and fixed it?

Didn't work for me! But I tried another method and that saved me from a lot of steps.
Just install the driver and the latest LGMobile Support Tool
Start your phone in Software upgrade mode... Power + Vol up
In the LGMobile Support Tool click on Options and then Upgrade Recovery
Put your IMEI in the option that pops up
Wait for the miracle!
It worked for me ... NO MORE LG SECURITY ERROR

cant install fastboot drivers windows 10
http://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua
I have just successfully completed all 3 steps in the title and would like to compile the information so that more people can report more success. Many thanks and all credit to the threadstarter of this guide, the devs of the amazing Flashtool, and the dev of this newly created TOUCH version of the TWRP recovery (finally!)
Code:
DISCLAIMER:
[B]Your warranty is now void. [/B][U]DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.[/U]
I am not responsible for bricked devices, bootloops, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war,
or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
Please do some research if you have any concerns about any of the steps in this guide before performing them!
YOU are choosing to make these modifications,
please own your actions and don't be a baby about it.
Bootloader Unlock (instructions taken from this guide)
0. First check if your phone allows unlocking by dialing *#*#7378423#*#* , when Service Menu opens, go to Service Info, then Configuration; scroll down to read Rooting Status.
If "Bootloader unlocked" says yes, skip to the next section on Root.
If it says no (unlocked allowed), great, proceed on to next step.
If it says no (unlocked disallowed) or something like that, I'm sorry, unlocking won't work on your phone. Lodge a complaint with your mobile provider for locking it.
Getting the unlock code (skip to Step 5 if you already have it)
1. Go to Sony's official bootloader unlocking website.
2. Select Xperia M or M2 in the dropdown.
3. Follow all the steps (including *#06# to note your phone's IMEI number)
4. COPY the unlock code and paste and save it in a text file on your desktop.
Ensuring Flashtool recognises phone
5. Download Flashtool here and install it.
(To apply the 0.9.19.10 patch, install 0.9.19.8 and replace x10flasher.jar with the one from the patch. Default install folder is C:\Flashtool , don't change it)
6. Open Flashtool, connect your phone via USB. (Make sure USB Debugging is enabled in Developer Options). If Flashtool warns that ADB driver is not installed, go to the Sony website to download them. If Flashtool recognises phone, skip to Step 11.
7. Unzip the Sony drivers into a folder.
8. Boot into Advanced Startup on Windows and disable signed driver enforcement (I'm sorry, you have to Google this for your specific Windows installation)
9. When Windows has restarted, go to Device Manager, click on the ADB Interface item with the yellow questionmark, click Update Drivers, Search Manually, Have Disk, and then open the folder where the Sony driver inf is. select the ADB inf and install it. Warnings will pop up but install the drivers anyway. When done, the yellow questionmark will be replaced by something normal.
10. Verify that Flashtool recognises phone by connecting the USB cable when phone is on. You should see information about phone kernel and ROM version.
<Congratulations for making it this far>
Setting up Flashtool for use
11. With Flashtool open and phone connected, click on Devices in Flashtool menu > Check Drivers.
12. More information will pop up. Under ADB Devices, your phone's serial number will be stated (something like 10 digits and letters). Copy that serial number.
13. Go to %USERPROFILE%\.flashTool\mydevices .
14. Create a new folder in here and rename it to the serial number.
15. Open the serial number folder, create a new text file and rename it "ulcode.txt" (without the quotes).
16. Open the text file, paste your bootloader unlock code, save and close the file.
For step 16, as a precaution, copy and paste the serial number folder inside registeredDevices too. I didn't test which folder was being used by Flashtool for the unlock.
Actual unlocking of bootloader
17. With Flashtool open and phone connected, click on the BLU button. Follow all instructions. One involves VOL UP, the other involves VOL DOWN (for fastboot), please take note to do both, it's not deja vu.
18. When you have done so correctly, Flashtool will pop a small dialog with your IMEI and unlock code already pasted inside.
19. Take a deep breath and click unlock.
20. Check in main window that bootloader has indeed been unlocked.
21. Unplug the USB cable and boot your phone to check that everything should be normal.
CONGRATULATIONS, YOUR WARRANTY IS NOW VOID. :laugh:
Installing TWRP recovery (with touch capability but NO external SD card mount yet as of 13 Nov 2015)
0. Make sure your bootloader is unlocked before proceeding.
1. The download link is from the M4 Aqua Marshmallow Site, scroll to the bottom. (XDA thread is here)
2. Download and save the recovery.img file anywhere you like.
3. Copy and paste recovery.img to C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib .
4. Install the recovery using fastboot using the instructions based on this website (thanks and credits to Shyam Karnani):
Flashtool comes with its own ADB interface so we don't need to install any new ones or the bloated Android SDK.
a) Open a command window inside the folder C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib (shift-rightclick and select "open command window here")
b) Connect phone to the computer using the USB cable.
c) type "adb reboot bootloader" (without quotes) in the command window and press enter (if asked to allow USB debugging in the phone screen, touch ok)
d) when the phone has entered fastboot, type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (without quotes) and enter. Check that there are no errors produced by the flashing.
e) type "fastboot reboot" and enter.
The phone now has TWRP recovery but NO ROOT.
To boot into recovery
1. Simultaneously press the Power button and Volume down until your device vibrates.
2. Quickly release the Power button, but keep pressing Volume down.
3. When you see the TWRP screen, release Volume down. You have now successfully entered recovery mode.
(Instructions from Sony Developer website)
Rooting using SuperSU
0. Check that you have flashed a custom recovery. If not, please refer to steps right above.
1. Download SuperSU from the official website.
2. Connect your phone and transfer the zip file to the INTERNAL storage (because no recovery can mount external SD card yet as of 13 Nov 2015).
3. Power off phone and boot into TWRP recovery.
(An info dialog will popup asking if you want to keep read-only for /system. I chose NOT to keep, but need someone with knowledge to explain if read-only will block rooting procedure. It will, right?)
4. Touch the Install button and scroll to find the supersu zip.
5. Install the supersu zip. When done, clearing cache/Dalvik is optional (can be done using Titanium Backup anyway once you have root).
6. Reboot system.
Enjoy your root! :good:
Good work, but is it for the M4 Aqua E2353 only?

Of course, that's what the title says lol. I cannot vouch for the other models.
I think the instructions can be modified, like for example different serial number for different model.
I'm having problem after clicking the BLU button, I'm doing what it said "Unplug USB cable, power off, hold vol down, connect USB cable" but will have an error USB not recognized, check flashtool screen it said usb debugging is off, make sure your not in MTP, I already turn usb debugging on. I'm stuck here.
btw I disable signed driver enforcement already and installed the ADB, but still no luck
Running OS windows 10
help please, :crying: if you can make a video it may help. thanks!
Everything went well for me thanks a lot.

Same issue with alvind27
Same issue as alvind27 has there been a fix yet.
my model is the same as yours
Works fine with my 2303
Great tutorial. Thank you so much. I forgot many things since someone has stolen my Xperia S. Root revived this phone. Android 6 + root is great future but now I am happy with that, too.
Working on my E2303. If someone has problem then he/ she has to learn more about it. Just follow steps slowly and everything is gonna be fine.
I had the same problem but also on windows 10, flashed in a windows 8 computer without any major issues.
I have a problem. Me appears seen, how can I fix?

Stuck at Bootloader Unlocking...
Hi, I have a problem here. I have the E2353 Xperia M4 Aqua and use the mac version of Flashtool
I've followed every step from checking whether or not the phone's BL can be unlocked (it is allowed) to putting all the necessary text files in the "mydevices" and "registeredDevices" folder. Problem is when I press and hold the VOL Down key and plug the USB in...nothing happens, it's just stuck there at the instructions screen while I keep holding the down volume key. I expected to see the Bootloader Unlock Wizard but it doesn't appear
Is there something I missed? What should I do?
Worked on e2363!
I managed to work on my E2363, though at the beginning I had problems and errors (when using fasboot to record TWRP.img got the error "unable to record the image").
In step 0, i got YES, but the error I mentioned persisted.
So did all the steps again (assuming in step 0 I would have gotten "no") and worked, the TWRP was recorded.

Hello there,my Wave 8 HD+ stuck in android boot logo. I downloaded the wave8hd_20151105_v1.8 update thru wireless update and install, it says error in installing:
E:error in /mnt/internal_sd/adupsfota/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
My tablet is now in recovery mode and cant move highlight due to no volume buttons available,i can only select the "reboot system now" option.
Any other alternative for volume button so that i could just do the factory reset??
I also followed the detailed instruction on bluewave website on how to update the said Tablet thru PC but to no avail.
i emailed both the Telecom Company from where i get my Bluewave Tablet and the Bluewave Customer support but until now they stiil haven't replied yet.
thank you very much for your immediate reply.

hello, jho_zep, thank you so much for your reply, i am now able to move the highlight to select using my mouse, but still when i try to update from ADB, it tells me to send package to the device etc.. and i also tried to press the power button, it wont reboot the system, it would only shutdown the system.. another thing, i still cant get rid of the system update. " installing system update" then error comes in, my android is down.. i tried wipe date/ factory reset, still nothing.
Thanks in advance
Do you already solve your problem? because I have now the same problem as this.
I have pressed the wireless update then it restarted and it says an Error status 7.
I don't know what to do and how to deal with this problem.
can you help me?
My nextbook tablet rk3026 has a partition named metadata that holds the recovery boot commands. You could possibly try to wipe it and do a factory reset. I don't think it actually gets mounted so you would need to find a file the same size as the partition and dd to it. Or back up your system with rockchip flash tool then using a hex editor replace all data in metadata image with zeros. Obviously be careful. Here is a tool download with included guide credits to finless at freaktab(not sure if he is here at xda) for posting it.
http://freaktab.com/forum/developme...p-your-rk-device-rom-with-the-new-rk-2-1-tool
as always BACKUP and know if you don't do it correctly you may get a brick.
thank you for the response Destructos. but that solution won't help for my freakin weird tab 33gt HD+.
I get frustrated now
Problem solved
first thing to do is make sure that you have already installed the rkchip_usb driver in your computer.
What are the requirements?
1st of course your Tablet and Cable Connector
2nd Finless ROM Flash Tool v1.37
3rd Rokchip BatchTool v1.7
4th the update image/firmware for your Bluewave 8 HD+ that is downloadable from their official website
Steps:
1. off your tablet and connect it to the computer
2. open the Finless Rom Flash, uncheck all the boxes
3. turn ON your Tablet (be attentive) and while the blue screen is starting you may NOTICE that the ROM FLASH TOOL detected your device, it says "RKAndroid Mass Storage USB". when you have read that, press immediately the "Reboot Flash mode" and your device will in black screen. but ROM Flash tool still detected your device as "RKAndroid Mass Storage USB "
4. Open the Batch Tool, (you must know how to use it) find your image, then you will notice that the CONNECTED DEVICES below have color green, in that case you may now Click UPGRADE. wait for a minute and booooom, you device is functionable again.
have a feedback if it is helpful.
P.S.
before I go to that steps, when I am stuck in RECOVERY MODE of my device, I Click the Recover from BACKUP then my tablet restarts and it turns to BOOTLOOP and repeatedly saying NO COMMAND.

Why is it, when I do this, my tablet can't be detected by the software? I'm stuck on recovery mode. When it's on the blue logo, still does nothing.
I can only see my device when I look for it on Device Manager under Android Phone. Why is that? It doesn't show the "Other Devices". I've installed the driver but to no avail, still fails me. Please help. Thanks!
hi guys, i have had a fun xperience(see what i did there) lately, i decided that was fed up with my sony only being stuck on oreo, so i decided to flash the rom, my only problem is i never got that far and i'll tell you the steps i took, the phone still boots into flash mode and fastboot, but there's never been a gui for those, at least on mine...
step 1: unlocking the bootloader, used adb reboot bootloader and booted into fastboot, again no interface, then i typed in all the info on unlocking bootloader from sony website, got the bootloader open... only after trying flasher, from 0.9.16.0 to the newest.... nothing worked... but i did get it open
step 2 : when i turned on my phone it gave me device unblocked and not secured powering on in 5 seconds, that hasn't gone away.
step 3: i tried uploading twrp to the sony phone(i tried looking for one, but one doesn't exist for my phone, just not that important i guess.) but i managed to find one on xda forums, or atleat what i thought was a twrp, the file however was old and corrupted, so when i tried loading it, the phone took it and just got stuck on sony screen.
step 4: i went online, found emma for sony installed it ran it, but then it told me no services available for phone, all info still showed up.
step 5: downloaded sony flasher tool first version to latest went into flashtool installed all the drivers with the signature enforcement off didnt work.
step6: downloaded my software from xperifirm and got the files loaded, when i went to install the file via fastboot i got the device in flashmode but driver to old error, so i tried downloading the usb drives from sony official page made no diff...
step 7: tried newflasher it just died after like 10 tries i gave up i didn't know if it would work anyway.
step 8: tried re -adding the files from the xperifirm but nothing happened. it might be slightly worse.
step 9 : i then tried companion, but it told me bootloader unlock so it can't do anything.
step 10: tried the adb commands nothing
step 11: i am now trying to download a vm windows 7 install the drivers on that and plugg in the phone maybe by some miracle it decides to read the driver as current.... if it fails then i have no more hope, i have no money, and nothing else, so i beg someone anyone plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz help save my life.... i like a challenge but lord sony why do you hate me us much
so i finally found a way to run a custom rom..... i figured out a way to flash the sony xperia xa 1 ultra with a custom rom.
so i began my journey by trying to you know, update to andriod os 11 ,becuase why not, if a company can hold you at randsom by locking os software updates then i should be able to say, ' you know i bought the phone with my money, not stolen money so why can't i enjoy it'... boy was i an idiot...
so as i said step by step my phone bricked so i looked through some stuff... and then my eye caught a step by step website, the flasher version the guy was using was 0.9.24.4.... so i uninstalled the new version and installed the version i needed. just search for it you'll find it... i installed the drviers from the c:/flashtool/drivers/.....exe file just the flash tool driver and nothing else. i ran it, loaded my firmware .ftf file and plugged in my cable. it didn't give me a driver to old response.... i ran the flashtool and a few seconds later i got the message turn on your phone. success....
now a few things just in case.... the beep from the holding up and power button is not to boot recovery mode it's to force a restart incase the phone freezes also the three beeps shuts the phone down nothing else the g3212 doesn't come with a recovery mode.... sony you suck... stop making phones becuase you have no idea what your customers want or design your own os but plz all you do is screw things up even more, this is my opinion... the only way to get into fastboot mode is via a usb and volume up+power button.
to get into flash mode is volume down + insert usb don't press power... especially when blocked, becuase then it'll turn on and then you have to disconnect the battery... also the unlocked device thing after unlocking bootloader doesn't go away. i checked
when trying to unock the bootloader of the g3212...
step 1 : search in google how to unlock sony xperia ax1 ultra, you'll get a developers.sony web link click on it and scroll down to the bottom of the page where you'll find how to ulock bootloader.... click on it.
step 2: do exactly what the page tells you and use the first imei number....
step 3: type *#*#7378423#*#* into your keypad... it'll bring up a services menu, then go to service info>configuration>rooting status as shown on the site... it should say bootloader unlock : yes
step 4: don't download the whole usb drivers thing it didn't help me i doubt it'll help you.
step 5: download android sdk tools from https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
step6: head to your phones settings>system>about phone tape the build number repeatedly 7 or 9 times. until it says you're now a developer. go back once and into developers options> turn on oem unlock and press yes or confirm or whatever also turn on usb debugging.
step7: connect the usb... you don't have to power off your phone at least i didn't. please don't blame if something goes wrong i'm just trying to help...
back on your computer
step8 :inside the extracted platform tools folder. where the path is click and type cmd, when the cmd launches type adb reboot bootloader. your phone should turn off and then a blue led should come on, you're in flashmode.
step 9 : then type fastboot oem unlock 0xyour imei number
how to find imei number and unlock code...
