I have a Evo 3d, hboot 1.50 latest radios, prl, pri. I had OMJ's latest Rom, and used Flash Image Gui to flash a custom Kernel package; I flashed Tiamuts "Tiamat_E3D-v1.1.0-Sense" http://downloads.tiamat-dev.com/8x60/110/Tiamat_E3D-v1.1.0-Sense.zip, and rebooted, then my phone was locked up on just the HTC screen.
I can still access the Bootloader, and Fastboot, and Recovery. I tried rolling back to my nandroid backup, and also reflashing the stock kernel through recovery (as the Rom won't ully load), and now all I get is a black screen after the HTC logo, and the phone is responsive to power and capacitive buttons, but no display at all.
Tried full wipe, and reflash of OMJ, even CleanRom.... Just black screen after HTC logo.... Any Ideas ? With Bootloader, Fastboot, and Recovery, you'd think I could unbrick, but no luck.
I'm sorry... I'm not a complete noob, I've been on the scene since early TP2s, and always rooted and custom rom’ed my Evo 4g.... Please help guys. Thanks in advance.

Since you're on the HTC unlock method, in order for the custom recovery to properly work, i.e. flash all partitions including the kernel/boot partition, you have to access the custom recovery differently than the traditional method.
The proper command and method to access the custom recovery in order for the HTC unlock method to grant it write access to the kernel/boot partition is through fastboot. The full command is: fastboot boot c:\cwm-recovery.img . Once you've temporarily fastboot booted the custom recovery, you can then properly flash a ROM or restore a nandroid as both will be allowed write access to the kernel/boot partition.
Appreciate your support in using my application! Hope that helps!
Deleted my own question. I think I found a thread where it will be more appropriate.
Like joeykrim stated, you must access the recovery from fastboot to be able to flash kernels, nandroids and what not from recovery if you used HTC's method to unlock you phone. You are not bricked. It is fully fixable.
I have Clockwork Recovery flashed, always have (the only version compatible with Hboot 1.50, v4.0.1.4). I still have full access to the Bootloader, Customer Recovery, and Fastboot. But despite reflashing a fresh Rom (2 in fact), full wipes, reflashing boot.img with stock kernel; all the phone will do is boot past the HTC screen, vibrate, and the screen goes black. Capacitive buttons are responsive, and so is the power button, just no display. ...... Idk what else to Flash to get this phone booting again, any ideas ?
I had same problem I have 1 file name PG86IMG.zip I don't remember from where I downloaded 1st Iplaced this on SD root folder and turn on phone with volume down and power button and it care of everything
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App

You arent bricked if you can still get into fastboot, recovery, etc. I would recommend using this app called Flash Image GUI on the market, it's only $0.99 and I am (as we speak) flashing ziggy's dual core kernel. Oh wait my phone rebooted now. Its fast as all get out and my WiFi works (yay). But like I said this method is the EASIEST way to flash kernels!

I think the file you're referring to is the RUU (ROM Update Utility) file which can be placed in the root of the sdcard as PG86IMG.zip and flashed to competely reload all stock software (radios, system, kernel, etc) on the device.
These files are available at http://goo-inside.me/shooter/ruu.

Seems as if there is some issue with the display. If you confirm you have adb access to the device, I would think the issue lies in the android /system. If you don't have adb access, I would think the issue lies in the kernel/ramdisk.
Either way, if you want to eliminate both issues, reflash my Stock ROM - [ROM] joeykrim-original-1.2.0 Odex *Stock Rooted 2.08.651.2*, which will reload the stock kernel and the stock system with only adding in root access. I run this ROM as my daily ROM and it works great for keeping the phone stock but allowing root access.
Make sure to access the custom recovery through, fastboot boot c:\android\cwm-recovery.img . If you load the custom recovery through adb reboot recovery, or bootloader and selecting recovery from the menu, the HTC unlock method will not grant recovery write access to the kernel/boot partition.
Worse case, my stock ROM with stock Kernel doesn't resolve the display issue, you should flash the stock RUU files at http://goo-inside.me/shooter/ruu . If that doesn't resolve the issue, you'll prob need to exchange/return the device as it would seem to be a hardware issue.
Hope that helps! Good luck!
I am a new Transformer Prime user, but not new to Android. My Prime is stuck on the initial "ASUS" splash screen (with NVIDIA logo).
I got my TFP yesterday and decided to put CM10 on it to see if it would fix the lag I was having (came with JB 4.1.1). Since it came with JB, I knew I couldn't use nvflash so I used the ASUS unlock tool which worked fine. I then downloaded TWRP 2.4.1 and flashed the JB blob file via fastboot.
Upon entering TWRP for the first time, everything seemed fine. I went in, did a backup (which I subsequently deleted by mistake) and wiped cache/dalvik/data/system and installed the official CM10 nightly. After flashing, I wiped cache/dalvik again and rebooted.
EDIT: So I flashed the Unofficial CM 10.1 here on XDA and it is now booting. So is the official CM 10 not for our devices with the JB BL?
Official CM10 nightlies are still made for the ICS bootloader, as you discovered. Until they update, you're better off downloading the unofficial builds here.

I'm at the same screen, got there a lil different then you but along the same lines. I've switched out roms alot with no issues, but after flashing jellybean, i haven't been able to boot into recovery by power + vol down button. So i tried going into goo manager to boot into recovery and since then its just sitting at the first screen with this device is unlocked in the top left corner and nv in bottom left. When i hold the power button to reboot it, it just comes right back. Even when i let the battery die and try'ed it after that its just the same thing. Is there any hope out there for me?

Can you access the stock recovery menu? If you can, you might be able to flash a custom recovery using fastboot.

I am also stuck at this screen. I have access to nothing including adb, fastboot, recovery, bootloader, and everything else. All I did was use the asus bootloader unlock apk, fastboot flash recovery clockwork.img, boot back into android normally, and then I reboot into the bootloader wiped data, and now it is stuck.

Same here. I unlocked it and flashed CWM. For a while I used the tablet without any custom rom nor any problem, however it just stopped booting suddenly. I dont know what to do.

same here as well so at least you guys arent alone does show up as an apx device but not sure how useful that could be at the moment its just a paper weight just need someone to write an automated recovery from apx mode to flash the appropriate files if thats even possible
Exact same problem. Still no fix?
Just developed the same problem after installing Androwook2.2. Flashed the JB bootloader, then flashed the rom, after completing the initial Android setup the tablet started to download updates, which then froze. The screen stopped responding to any inputs, only the power and volume buttons did anything, but wouldn't restart it.
I hit the reset button with a pin which allowed me to enter recovery, which also didn't respond to screen touches, another reset button hit and there's now no USB connection in bootloader
Another restart and I can't get into bootloader either.
So no recovery or ADB = paperweight unless someone finds a solution

Your problem was different to theirs and you have been fixed in the Androwook thread. Yours was caused by the pad firmware not installing properly the first time and freezing your screen and buttons.
I have the same problem...

Hey guys I need some help. I have a Verizon Galaxy S4 with NK1. I rooted it by flashing back to NC5 and then rooting then flashing back to NK1, that part worked perfectly fine. I then wanted to install a recovery so I used the CWM app and thats where things went wrong. After doing so it said it did it successfully but when I clicked boot into recovery so I can install CM12 it did not boot into recovery it instead booted straight to the Odin screen with the Android logo in the middle and below it saying "Downloading", and also has the text in the top left corner.
I am hoping someone has an answer on how to fix this.
Thanks!
Also to add onto that I am able to boot up my phone normally its not that its stuck in a boot loop where I can't get past that point. It only happens when I try to go into recovery mode that it take me to the Odin screen. When I do the steps for booting into Recovery it shows the samsung logo and then the blue text that usually comes up in the top left corner flashes for a millisecond and then the screen transitions to the Odin screen
No cm based roms & only safestrap for custom recovery. Spend some time reading what you can & can't do to your phone

Yessir I installed it, what would be the next step?
Read how to use it. If you installed the recovery (not just the apk), reboot your phone and you'll see the screen and directions how to enter ss recovery.
From there you'll be able to wipe your phone.
Not sure how it'll work with you trying to install cwm. If this doesn't work, odin'ing back to stock and starting over might be your next option (unless someone else can suggest something)
Aslo, if you're stuck in that boot, you can pull the battery,
then hold the volume down, home and power to get the the download screen,
choose restart the phone
this worked for me when I was in a boot loop
This won't fix your recovery mode issue though, but you'll be able to use your phone in the mean time
Hi, my G3 (vs985) was running 24b, rooted, and I installed TWRP Manager and installed a custom recovery. all went fine until I got a secure boot error whenever I booted to recovery. After tinkering and thinking I found a possible solution, I used autorec which gave a Success in installing twrp, and booted back in to recovery where I got a into an LG Security Error and would continue switching between the logo and the security error screen. I was still able to get into twrp through the factory recovery menu and going to factory reset which sends me to twrp. I tried restoring a backup I had previously made, and that went successfully but now my issue is that I'm stuck in a boot certification error with the light blinking blue and red and I am unable to get into download mode, but am still able to get into twrp and get into my phone's files. I don't trust myself anymore, and would absolutely love some guidance on this. If I do try to go to download mode, and I connect it to my pc, my pc makes the noise as if it were connecting, and the phone vibrates, but the screen turns black and nothing "seems" to pop up. I can try to answer any questions, I am somewhat new to this. Thank you in advance!
EDIT: The error I'm currently getting is:
"Secure Boot Error
Cause: Boot Certification Verify".
I'm guessing that you used the 23C autorec which put the wrong bootloader on the phone for 24B. From TWRP. I'd create a backup in TWRP, dirty flash JasmineROM 8.0 (in other words, no wiping), then you should be good.
I had this yesterday. Did the same thing.
I finally resolved it by getting back into TWRP from the OEM recovery, Full System Wipe menu item. TWRP allowed me to mount the storage on my computer and flash SkyDragon 5.0. I still can't get back into recovery, but at least the phone works better than stock Lollipop.

Boulder, I'm not sure I understand what you wrote, twrp is recovery, so if you can flash using twrp are you just unable to access it ...it must me installed on your phone? I haven't flashed using the computer in a long time, so it's not really fresh in my mind what you did. If you power down your phone, then hold the power and vol down button simultaneously, it will reboot, release buttons, then as soon as you see the lg logo, press the power/volu down simult. again, and it will take you to a screen that gives you options you can choose using the volume up/down keys to navigate and power to choose a button. Wipe cache would take you into twrp if it is indeed installed on your phone. If you can access twrp however you did previously,you can flash a zip file of twrp (I use 2.8.7.0, I think it is the newest, it is newer than what was in autorec that I tried last night). Wipe davalcik/cache after you flash the twrp zip and reboot your phone and you should be fine....although I think you may actually have twrp already (hence 'recovery"} based on what you posted. Good luck.
I did flash the 23C version of Autorec into my 24b phone. This gave me the Security Error bootloop.
Eventually I was able to get into LG stock recovery with the volume down button. Magically, hitting Factory Wipe brings me to the hidden TWRP. From there I flashed base SD5.0. In Android, I installed the Autorec 24b apk and reinstalled TWRP. This again security looped.
Now, I can't even access LG bootloader or TWRP. Even the QuickBoot app fails to boot to revovery. But, the phone works, so I don't want to break it further. Might just wait for a development upgrade to SkyDragon.
Hello,
I got a little problem with my lg g5.. I've unrooted my phone for a couple weeks ago to try and update to the latests version of android but I'm stuck at the part of updating.
Currently my phone is running android version 6.0.1 but I've seen that there is a newer version and I would love to install it on my phone but the notification that is popping up every day is nog working.
Hope somebody can help me.. Im really bad at this kinda things.
Do you have TWRP installed as a custom recovery? If so I understand your need to flash the default recovery img or updating from the phone will fail on reboot.
Check our autoprime's all in one guide that might help you troubleshoot and restore your phone to MM or N

Is there a way to check what custom recovery I've installed? It's been a while since I rooted my phone..
Turn off the phone or remove the battery. Then, hold down the volume down button and then the power button. Keep them both held till you see the LG logo, then release the power button and briefly press and hold the power button again. If successful you should see a white, factory restore menu. Use the volume keys to navigate and the power button to select yes on both the two screens. NB if you do not have a custom recovery this will factory restore your phone-so make a backup. If you do have a custom recovery, it should boot up e.g TWRP
From here you can flash the default boot loader img and then update ota

When I restart my phone and use those keys my phone is booting into the white screen where I can go into factory restore.. Do I need to install a custom recovery first?
Once in the white screen, to see if you do have a custom recovery installed, you need to select yes on both screens to enter the custom recovery. As I said before, if you do not have a custom recovery (such as TWRP) you will factory reset your phone and lose all settings so make backups first.
Before all that though, how did you root and into it your phone- that will give me an idea as to if you have a custom recovery installed

Flashed the SuperSU with TWRP, it's down below at the tutorial page.
Now I only need to know what I need for the stock recovery and how I can update my phone
For the stock recovery, I have 6.01 10E stock recovery here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3j5Gs11w3EqVzNwa0h3b2tVWmc/view?usp=drivesdk
Hopefully that should work. If not, you can extract the recovery image from the full zips on autoprime's all in one LG g5 post.
Good luck
Hope I will get it working xD Thanks for your help!
