I tired unlocking the bootloader, and after 7 hours, decided to give up. So I flashed/rooted v20d and installed CWM through the app. The app said it was successfully installed. I clicked reboot to recovery, and it rebooted normally. No recovery. Then I rebooted it myself, and the leds don't blink on the front to enter cwm...All I want to do is get into cwm, flash the .zip to fix the touch screen, and call it a day. Please help me..
I have cwm backups I took this morning of my old set up, but that was on v20f. My plan originally was to root 20d, flash the zip, get the ota update to 20d, and restore in cwm. Please help...
UPDATE: Managed to hard reset and get into recovery...

Ok I have a problem I flashed bulletless Rom 2.5 like I always flash roms I rebooted my phone into recovery (CWM touch) did a factory reset/wipe then I flashed the rom and everything went great I rebooted my phone and the rom booted and I went through the set up. I didnt really like the rom so I rebooted the phone with the advanced power menu into recovery but when I rebooted the phone it just hung at the white HTC screen so I thought no big deal I'll reboot the phone into bootloader then Recovery and try flashing it again but when my phone boots into bootloader and I select recovery I can see a quick glimpse of the recovery screen then the phone reboots and just hangs on the white HTC screen again??????
I tried reflashing the CWM touch from fastboot but that didnt fix it
So I tried flashing the regulat CWM recover from fastboot but still no go
Then I tried to flash TWRP recover and when I boot into that I can see the splash screen for it but then the phone reboots and hangs on the white HTC screen

Your phone isn't bricked.... Just soft bricked.
Just restore a previous backup from hboot>recovery.... Make sure u restore using the same recovery you used to backup with... Just to be safe. That may mean flashing a new recovery through fastboot.

I ended up unrooting with odin and rebooted to ics 4.0.1? Phone is now back on stock rom. I will root it once more and back up the phone this time. Thanks for the help.
I started having this problem after rooting and installing custom rom. It does not matter which rom you install. The only fix I have found is to unroot and return to stock..
Once you root and install your rom the phone works fine, until you reboot. Then it just hangs at the padlock screen. You have to pull the battery and reboot into recovery, format, and reinstall the rom, or go back to stock... HELP!!!!!!
When originally rooting did you let supersu update and select normal?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
I did update, not sure about selecting normal. I don't remember seeing that option. What does the normal do?
You need to select normal when updating supersu when you open the app. And what recovery are you using? Have you tried installing goo manager and installing the script which is twrp that has auto loki.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Yea, I installed TWRP from goo.. I will root again and make sure I check normal.
I don't see the Normal setting. Could you point it out..
Ok... I'm a D.A. Both times I rooted, I missed the step of downloading SuperSU and updating it during the Root process. Thanks Black Hat.. Everything should be good now.
You're welcome. Let me know how you turn out!
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
I spoke to soon.. No Joy.. I managed to get it to reboot one time. Now stuck at Custom Padlock, again.
i'm actually having the same issue. i followed the directions to root using the pre-release kernel and odin. i updated the SU binaries and selected Normal when it asked me. after that i installed the custom recovery using GooManager. now when i install a ROM and reboot it hangs. wonder whats going on. hopefully someone can help us out

I wonder what's going on. If you're missing a step or something. Idk I've installed last night upon release. Rebooted a couple times. Didn't have an issue. When I wiped. I wiped data system cache and dalvik twice. Then installed the rom and rebooted. Restored my apps and settings. Let it settle for a sec and rebooted again. Didn't have any issues.
People that are stuck at padlock screen. You're using the latest twrp autoloki? Can you get back into recovery even though you can't get past padlock. And how long do you wait at the padlock?

i installed TWRP using GooManager. it said it was version 2.5.0.2. yes, i can get back into recovery. and the padlock screen stays there indefinitely. i am in the process of odin-ing back to stock so i'm gonna start over and we'll see how it goes. hopefully this resolves it. can't live with Stock TouchWiz.
EDIT---
yes, i hit normal and flashed back to stock kernel from the pre-release.
So it booted fine once. How long were you in it? Did you install anything or configure anything or did you install boot it up. And reboot and notice it won't come back up and hangs?
Because I've been told X posed doesn't work yet even though it's in the rom and if you install it. It'll soft brick and you'll need to dirty flash or reinstall.

Done all of that. Rerooted twice! I'm getting frustrated with it. I am now back to stock with no problems.. But yea, I was able to get into recovery after pulling the battery. :crying:
So i finally unlocked my bootloader on my p769. After i unlocked it i went to recovery and restored my backup to a 20F T-mobile P769 rom (yes i know this was stupid, I should have installed recovery via fastboot while I had it open). My touch screen is borked and I have no recovery set up.
Things I've tried:
To turn on USB debugging, the backup i restored does not have a homescreen so I cannot access the settings to turn it on.
The KDZ offline flash method, but it always stops at 15% even though i've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers countless times.
"Upgrade recovery" via the LG software tool. It gets to the part where it downloads the file and even after 2 hours it doesn't download. My hosts file did not have LGs IP when i tried this.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? Is there a button combination to force my phone to go to fastboot mode? Or can i got from s/w upgrade mode to fastboot mode? This is really frustrating.
Alright so i managed to turn USB debugging on, but i have no root or recovery. Is there anything I can do from here?
EDIT: managed to get root and installed busybox the correct busybox. i can't seem to get the recovery to install though (im using the l9 recovery installer APK. It says the recovery is installed but it won't reboot into recovery and the LEDs dont flash when i power on the phone). My phones touchscreen is still borked.
That LG software tool never worked for me and I never used it. Find a kdz uploaded and keep the phone on. No sw mode. I've been reading a lot of stuff on here about u boot and adb. . .never did any of that with other phones but I haven't bricked this one either to test any methods. I'm rambling. . .let need know what happens.

Even if your bootloader is unlocked you still have to install a ROM that is made for your phone. Just go to backup/restore then restore from sd and pick your backup. Good luck!

I am on the MJ9 radio flashed via Odin, rooted and unlocked bootloader. Have TWRP recovery and just flashed and set up Trents B7. Was having issues with colors and didn't have a lot of time to play around with it to get it where I wanted so I went to restore Alliance 26 back on and noticed that when I swiped the go bar, it stuck and then rebootet into recovery.
I have tried several times to wipe data and TWRP or Philz wont let me. I can boot back into the rom and it is working but whats wrong with my recovery?
I even Odined TWRP and then tried Philzs thrroigh Odin hoping I just needed to reload my recovery.
Any help would be appreciated.
