Hey all i accidentally hit the OTA update "OK" button when it popped up on my screen. I've been deferring it for the past few months but my finger slipped and hit the "OK" instead of the "defer" and choosing a date to ask again.
I have a looping "Teamwin" logo and it keeps looping.. Cant seem to do anything. I've taken out the battery and then start it up but it still does the same thing.
Any advice, step by step to get out of this loop?
Thanks!
David
you can not OTA update with a custom recovery...time for a date with Odin.

Would you care to give me a link to do this with a note 2, droidstyle?
yep click the link in my sig...refer to section 1b. you can probably get away with using root66 so you do not have to reroot and unlock BL.
Also when you get back up and running I would recommend freezing SDM1.0 apk with a App such as Titanium back up pro and you will no longer get prompted for OTA updates.

hold on a sec, can you boot into recovery? If so you can probably wipe data and re flash the rom you were on.

if you had an updated firmware then that file wouldnt work for you. i also noticed though you put that file in the bootloader field instead of the pda field when you tried flashing it one of those times. that may have been a bad thing. you could try to flash the other file marked vramc from that thread.

Alright i flashed the bootloader and all seems to be fine. I got 2 tutorials mixed up so i though one was using bootloader as the ROM.

root66 works on all devices with the current firmware since it does not contain a bootloader, recovery, or wipe data. Sometimes it will cause a bootloop which all that is needed is to wipe data in recovery.

you need to boot into recovery and wipe data...if you can get into recovery the a full odin package will need to be flashed such as stock VRAMC3. However it looks like you figured it out.

You sure you didn't brick your device? I was under the impression doing battery pulls during the update process would mess up your phone.

I tried that. It keeps trying to do that damn update.
I've never taken an OTA on a Samsung device. In my experience there is a prompt that verifies you want to install after the download. IF it's the same here, I would THINK your safe to Odin.
If you can get to recovery, throw a ROM on your SD card and flash.

you have to poke a accept after it downloads
then it boots to download mode
if you like
you can revert stock to MDK wipes everything

flash to complete stock and re-root ??
Not sure how far out of the way you would like to go..
I downloaded the OTA and let it site on the stock MDK phone for over a day before I rooted and installed ota root keeper to test to see if I can restore root..with out bricking
I could of easily delete the fota cache where it downloaded to and frozen the propitiate file to stop the update

get into recovery and just flash a custom rom.
If you have titanium backup, use it to freeze SDM 1.0 and FWUpdate. This will keep the new software from downloading and keep the software update notification from appearing (provided it hasn't been installed by now).
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
best idea has been said, get that thing into custom recovery where the OTA cant install. try beating the phone as it tries to install and get it into download mode and see if u can flash a custom recovery though ODIN
What you can do at this point depends a lot on what has already been updated on your phone.
If the bootloader is already updated, then there's no way for you to load the older kernel onto it to get it ready to root.
What I'd suggest you do is to go ahead at try the rooting process.
Boot the phone into download mode and try to push the MD2 kernel onto it,
If the install tries to restart, it'll fail since you don't have the expected software, which hopefully will give you a usable system.
Then use motochopper to try to get "su" access.
If ODIN refuses to flash the MD2 software, it's probably the case that you've already gone past the point of no return (i.e. you've got the updated, locked bootloader) and you might as well let the update finish.
If you succeed, then install MDK and Voodoo OTA Keeper and cross your fingers.
Good luck!

DO NOT update to MJ7. You are very lucky to have gotten an MDK phone. Read the Hyperdrive thread, I believe flashing instructions are in the first post. With an MDK phone you'll be able to flash any Verizon S4 ROM, including AOSP builds, if you so choose.

is that the first page where says to
1. You MUST READ Through the Entire first page of the Thread
2.You MUST be ROOTED
3. You MUST have a custom recovery installed!
For Verizon Users
FOR MDK Unlocked Phones (TWRP/CWM)
1. Download latest Hyperdrive Rom version
2. Reboot into Recovery
3. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
4. Wipe cache and dalvik cache
5. Install Rom
6. Reboot (First Boot may take up to 10 mins)
7. Let Phone sit for 10 minutes
8. Reboot again
9 Enjoy!
As said DO NOT UPDATE. Read up on loki. Your phone is rare in that it still has the original software on it, its the only one that has an exploit to bypass the bootloader. If you update you could lose custom recovery forever.

Most likely the advanced reboot menu is active. Press and hold the power button. If there is a reboot to recovery, press it. If not, press reboot. If a new menu pops up, press recovery. If not. Power off. Now his the up volume button and press power until it starts up. Then let go of just the power button until some tiny blue writing shows up in the upper left. Then let go of the volume button and wait for the recovery to boot.
Then MAKE A BACKUP. Select that option and do it with the default settings.
Keep your phone plugged in.
Then install the V12 you downloaded. It's aroma so it will step you through.

Welcome to the MDK master race!
Depending in which recovery you want to use CWM or Team Win. Most likely it has a recovery already installed, go to the power menu and pick recovery mode, you boot to the recovery.
You can update to the latest modem via the modem thread.
Rom build and baseband are different thinks when on the MDK version.
Like someone said here dont upgrade to any other version example MJ7.
The only thinkvyour ever going to need to upgrade to the latest greatest Rom/Android version is your recovery.

Hey folks. I've tried every search here & via Google that I can think of and the answer won't come to me. Here's the weird, surreal, but I assure you very current problem. I screwed around trying to install Jasmine 5.0 and it has bitten me in the rear-end. In order to fix a problem I had with it, I wanted to KDZ back to stock and start over. Unfortunately it won't let me do that. When I try to go into Download mode, it gives me a secure boot error, turns the screen black and flashes the LED at me multicolor-style. The only way to get out of that is a battery pull.
I can boot into Recovery just fine. I'm back on SkyDragon 4.4 as we speak, but not being able to get into download mode is what I'd consider a BIG PROBLEM, considering that's how you fix soft bricks. If I ever have a problem, I'm toast. Thus, my flashing days are pretty well over unless I can get this fixed.
I did find this from @bweN diorD :
bweN diorD said:
well it should be the aboot then. while testing, the only things that gave me a secure boot error were boot (which i just gave you) and aboot.
im not sure how you would install aboot, i dont have a flashable zip. maybe using terminal in twrp, but i have little experience to give advice on that.

Does that mean I need to figure out how to get 12B aboot & boot properly restored from the img thread? If so, does anybody know HOW one might do that? I apologize, but I'm VERY much at my wit's end here and can't figure it out right now. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Let me know if you need anyone to test stuff, I am up and running, can get into recovery and restore but again as stated if .tot is required I am in the same boat....
No worries, take all the time you need. Thankfully our devices are working.
We should probably just hold off on our flashing addiction until it's fixed.

Download mode fixed, @hsbadr will be along momentarily with a file to flash the same way you did J-5

Don't forget to delete the previous images from your internal sd
Works perfectly, just tested

So I have already restored back to Illusion, and I did that because I was getting an LGSmartCover FC in J-5 once I booted up. Can I flash this in recovery and keep my current setup or do I have to go through the install of J-5 again.
Again, thanks for the quick turnaround on this...
EDIT*** I think nevermind, I thought about it for a minute and just use the same install instructions but replace the contents of FixDownloadMode.zip??

Works like a charm! Thanks to you both - @hsbadr & @annoyingduck !!!! We would have been in a heck of a bind without your help.
you can flash this on anything....when we were testing J-5 we got a little over protective and decided to upgrade what the new download mode fix script installs to 23b images, which conflict with bumped recoveries. It didn't need to be done, so you should do this repair if you flashed J-5 either way - no matter what current rom your on, it won't effect anything other than download mode. Next J-5 will fix it for everyone. Basically bump requires KK aboot. Download mode requires aboot to match rpm,tz,and laf. Once those get upgraded to LP, download mode fails because of the bumped aboot. Turns out, we didn't need those images to get LP booting, so fixes are in the future.

ok do i have to do a clean flash of jamison5.0 before i flash the fix or can i do a factory reset nd then flash the fix via twrp adb?
nevermind...i just rebooted to recovery and flash...download mode work and didnt have to reflash rom thanks @annoyingduck @hsbadr i was scared here because flashings an addiction
For the download mode fix you shouldn't need to factory reset. Heh, when I used it I was back on KK, booted into recovery, flashed the fix and rebooted straight back into the ROM.
with very little activity lately for the LGV20, specifically the H918 T-Mobile variant, I created a TWRP flashable package for the recent H91810q release. this zip flash every partition included in the latest KDZ package with the exception of recovery to keep TWRP. standard disclaimer applies, you do all of this at YOUR OWN risk! because 10q is not rootable, you need to be root'd before flashing this! failure to do so will probably cause you to lose root and/or lose TWRP! and worst of all, because 10q can't be downgraded to 10j (last version where you can still obtain root via dirtycow) because of Anti-RollBack, you're fscked!
NOTE1: you can find the partitions that will be flashed in the updater-script. to be extra cautious you can back up all of the partitions that will be overwritten with the following: dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/{partition} of=/external_sd/backup/{partition}.img.
NOTE2: boot partition has been modified only to remove rctd, nothing else so I consider this to still be stock
Instructions:
download H91810u.zip file listed below and put on microSD card
download your choice of root and put on microSD card, choose from either Magisk or SuperSU *Note: v12.0 of Magisk does not work with the LGV20 device in general and v14.0 is recommended.
backup any data from internal "SD card"
boot into TWRP (requires TWRP recovery to already be installed)
create a TWRP backup of the device
flash zip from microSD card by using "Install"
FLASH YOUR CHOICE OF ROOT - Flashing root is VERY IMPORTANT BEFORE REBOOTING!
reboot
profit!
Download:
H91810q.zip
old 10q md5sum: 8c2e76ded9759a63b1ffac86f3941649
new 10q md5sum: c7d4086b3a0a786d1501ef7e4ce22f32 - re-zipped in Linux for proper alignment
H91810r.zip
wrong 10r md5sum: 9e2e1f8c56079d7bf629ce5e375d7551 (this is actually the md5sum for the KDZ)
correct 10r md5sum: 194b2bc41aa6dbdd7b9a371392f7b930
H91810s.zip
10s md5sum: f187fdefe4c3612c5811e9fbeb0748c5
H91810t.zip - rctd and triton both disabled, previous versions only removed rctd
10t md5sum: b00c2f644b15eb15e459c48830caa5da
H91810u.zip - rctd and triton both disabled, previous versions only removed rctd
10u md5sum: f51b2b11a30dc448b0da0edc750bb587
Flashing Process (what flashing this zip does):
flash necessary partition images with the exception of recovery (to keep TWRP) from the KDZ
rename /system/recovery-from-boot.p to /system/recovery-from-boot.bak to prevent stock recovery from being installed on boot
wipes dalvik-cache and cache
BIG thanks to @McNutnut on guidance, as well as his script to put all of this together!
also thanks to @bullghost for the KDZ extractor (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600575)
@Tilde88 for the original updater-script template w/root (https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/us996-nrd90m-modded-notsostock-rom-v5-1-t3526542)

Dude, thanks for whipping this out so fast! (TWSS) I will get right on making a debloated rom from this. Is it ARB 1?
So I HAVE to flash root? Sometimes I don't flash root because of my gear S3 watch.
I just flashed but still showing 10p. But the kernel info shows Sept 12. So the kernel is updated but wondering on why it still shows 10p on software info @ about phone.

hold on, let me re-zip and re-upload. I had used two different methods to add the files to the archive so I'm going to re-do it all with one method

yes, this is ARB1 and yes, root is needed if you want to stay root'd
As you can see the updater script shows install 10p.

yep, for some reason using Windows to create zip files causes inconsistencies. I've zipped up everything in Linux this time and double checked the updater script to make sure everything is good to go and am uploading it as I type... I've already updated the OP with the new md5sum and the link should remain the same. I'll give a heads up once it's live
Ok thanks for your time. Appreciate it. ?

done! uploaded and downloaded myself to verify everything is the correct one. this should bring you to 10q for everything... sorry for the troubles of flashing again. don't forget to flash root just in case lol
No problem. No apology needed being you really don't have to do this for the community. Thanks again.
Sorry if I'm asking an obvious question but when did t mobile release a new update? I thought the latest version was 10p???
Flashed... All good!

First of be advised that this is anti roll back. Once on it you can't go backwards to other older roms. In reference to your problem you'll have to do a battery pull. Put battery back in. Now hold down volume down and power button at the same time, when you see LG screen release power button for two seconds then push again holding down power. During all this never release volume down. Now you'll get a reset screen with yes and no option. Use volume key to choose yes, twice..... This will get you back to TWRP. In your case I wouldn't even bother with back up but you can try again if want. What I would do is flash something else that I know works. Then decide from there what to do... Maybe redownload again. May be corrupt some how. I assume your on h918. Hope so! Good luck.

Well we really don't know if your system went to 10q now, so........ You can try again. On both, the backup or 10q. Since you know now how to get to TWRP with battery pull you can try both, see what works. Try backup first. If it doesn't work you may have system in 10q now being you backed up a 10k system may not work now. If it doesn't try q again. If that doesn't work then download 10p or redownload 10q and side load on TWRP from computer. Then flash again. These are steps I would do.. if someone tells you different then it's your choice. Different ways for different things.

so 10q is showing up. i am having issues with the modem i believe because i dont get tmobile recepetion and as soon as i put into airplane mode, the error message stops.
I haven't tried the 10p weta kernel yet but it may not work being this stock kernel on 10q is updated to the September security patch. May try later today.
First off, thanks for keeping my beloved H918 alive!. Thought all future dev for the V20 was dead.
Now a question. Any timeframe on a debloated version? Not in a hurry mind you, just curious.
