My LG-E970 (AT&T) will not boot. What happened was FreeGee had an error part way though and I did not think anything of it. I had already successfully rooted my phone hours earlier and all seemed to be working well. I turned my phone off for the night and when I went to turn it back on it would not boot. It went into what it called "Demigod" mode, from which I can access Fastboot, but the recovery appears to be broken as well. I have tried accessing Fastboot to re-flash the recovery but neither Fastboot or ADB can even find the device. I've tried every USB driver I can find and nothing seems to help. Device Manager shows when it's connected under Unknown Devices and it names it Android, but ADB and Fastboot don't see it. All I can see on the Fastboot screen is the following information:
FASTBOOT MODE
PRODUCT_NAME - mako
VARIANT - mako 16GB
HW VERSION - rev_10 (168)
BOOTLOADER VERSION - MAKOZ10f
BROADBAND VERSION - N/A
CARRIER INFO - NONE
SERIAL NUMBER - 003fa9505095f3a5
SIGNING - production
SECURE BOOT - enabled
LOCK STATE - unlocked
Any solutions would make me incredibly grateful. I have tried everything I can think of and I hate having to ask for help, but I see no other choice at this point.

I hope you backed up your EFS. Mine was borked by the broken FreeGee that I ran the other night.
I was able to install a custom recovery from Linux by adding a udev rule and restarting the udev service. (Unlike Windows nonsense, this doesn't require a complete new packaging of the driver.)
If you're willing to tackle some Ubuntu (which is easy), I can give you a step-by-step to getting a custom recovery on your phone. It will probably work even from a live CD without even having to install Ubuntu to your harddrive.
Have you read and tried about the LGNPST method of flashing the TeenyBins and installing TWRP recovery ??
I think it should work , as I had the same issue as of today and with the help of those I was at least able to install TWRP recovery. Haven't tried flashing any ROM but I think it should work.

I have two identical nexus s phones.
Phone 1:
- has no usb connectivity, and thus can't be used with fastboot or adb
- unlocked bootloader
- stock jellybean
Phone 2:
- rooted
- has CWM 6.0.3.1 installed
- stock jellybean
I've taken a backup of phone 2 and want to flash it using the stock recovery on phone 1. I'm on OS X.
I've found a couple threads on this but they're all leading to dead ends. One used a utility called unyaffs, but the CWM file format has changed to use hashed blobs so that 's not going to work.
I've also seen a couple posts saying that CWM had a "soon to be released" option to create an update.zip file, but I don't see that option. Those posts are from last August. That sounds great if it existed and the image could be used with stock recovery.
All I really need to do is flash the bootloader from phone 2 on to phone 1 (I previously flashed the wrong bootloader on phone 1 which led to the loss of usb, which is what I'm trying to fix.) I tried zipping the correct bootloader image from the google download page and installing from stock recovery but it refuses to flash that image. (Not sure if fastboot images can be flashed in recovery mode?)
Argh, need a little help here.
Thanks in advance.

ok your post isnt making sense. first of all how did you flash thethe wrong bootloader to phone 1? and when you compare the phones bootloaders, what is the bootloader version number for each one? so what youre saying is that phone 1 will never give you an adb connection at all, even when youre booted into android? when you plug phone 1 into the computer from within android what happens? and when you boot phone 1 into bootloader and execute fastboot mode then connect it to your computer do you see anything when you run the command ./fastboot devices? or ./adb devices when youre in adb mode on your phone? if your computer can see phone 2 and not phone 1 at all via usb then there is likely a problem with the usb port on your phone 1. you should be able to boot directly into fastboot mode by holding vol up and power button while powering on the phone, then it should take you straight to fastboot mode where you can then connect to the computer. remember to put the phone in fastboot mode then connect sometimes the computer wont see the phone if it was already plugged in upon entering fastboot mode/

I was trying to downgrade the phone to ICS using the factory image from google. I picked the wrong image from the google site (picked soju, needed sojus) and flashed it using fastboot. As soon as I flashed the wrong bootloader the USB connection stopped working so I didn't flash the radio or os. I no longer can connect to the phone using fastboot or adb, usb debugging stopped working. The USB debugging option is set in developer options. So, trying to get the phone working now without USB. Hope that makes sense now. :good:
I have searched a lot on google and xda and havn't found an answer to my issue. Either I'm searching for the wrong thing or I have a very unique problem.
My basic problem is on two Nabi 2's I can't access the bootloader in order to be able to fastboot TWRP (or any other recovery). It just perpetually hangs.
Both tablets boot just fine. Both tablets are on 1.9.37. Both tablets can be factory wiped via the stock recovery.
Both tablets were rooted via TWRP 2.3.3.0 a few years ago in order to install gapps. I wanted to be able to upgrade the tablets to JB when it came out so I used Nabilablite to "return to stock". I followed all of the prompts and it appeared as though everything worked as desired. I downloaded the OTA update told it to install and never looked at the version again...I just assumed it installed. Handed the tablets back to the kids and everyone was happy. Apparently all I did was flash the stock recovery because they are still rooted and have gapps after several factory resets.
Now (a year later) I have realized I was a dufas and didn't actually effect the change I wanted.
If I hold Vol+ & Pwr buttons it loads to the recovery/boot menu with "boot normally" "fastboot protocol" "recovery kernal" and "forced recovery". If I boot normal, the tablet works fine but I can't update via OTA.
If I choose fastboot protocol it just hangs...for ever...HOW DO I FIX THIS!?!?!
If I choose recovery kernal it loads the stock recovery but still wont install any update OTA or otherwise, even from the sd card.
If I choose forced recovery nothing happens, it also appears to just hang.
If I hold Vol- & Pwr button the nabi logo flashes then the device turns off.
If I hold Vol+ & Vol- & Pwr buttons it appears to be the same as just Vol+ & Pwr.
With the tablet on and fully booted I can see it via ADB. I tried using the adb restart bootloader. The tablet reboots but then just hangs never actually loading the boot loader...
I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2587543. But aicjofs mentions seeing a bootloader issue once before.
Usually when it hangs at the Nabi logo it means you don't have the USB cable plugged in or that the fastboot driver is not installed.(Check device manager and see if fastboot driver is installed/no exclimation point). If that's not the issue then it's the bootloader which I have only seen one person have that issue. Depending on which OTA's you have ran there was an update to a Jellybean bootloader so it's possible. That can be fixed with nvflash or placing the bootloader blob in the staging partition.
Also you can always get recovery back without fastboot in Android by dd'ing the recovery over.
For example if the recovery image is on the internal SD
dd if=/data/media/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/SOS
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have NO idea what dd'ing the recover over is...
Thank you for any help fixing this.
P.S. I have a 3rd tablet that I also used TWRP 2.3.3.0 on to root and install gapps with. I did NOT use nabilablite on that tablet to return to stock. Yesturday I used fastboot to flash TWRP 2.6(something) to flash a JB OTA update which worked fine. It was also able to download and install every other OTA update all the way to the most recent KK with no problems...

EDIT: OOOPPS. I didn't see this was in the XDA Assist section. I'm not suppose to answer questions(I was just searching for Nabi questions and didn't notice this was XDA assist), dedicated XDAers just point you in the right direction in this section. Please ask the question again in the Nabi2 section and I'l come help you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nabi-2
This might help answer some questions http://forum.xda-developers.com/nabi-2/general/nabi-information-t3229119
If it just hangs at fastboot protocol then the USB connection isn't good or fastboot driver isn't installed most of the time. Can you verify fastboot shows up in device manager?(I know the 3rd tabet worked OK) .
Nabilabite doesn't do anything that should change the bootloader, and fastboot should still work as it did before.
dd'ing recovery over means that you use the root access you have in Android to flash the recovery partition instead of using fastboot. IT's just another way of getting the TWRP recovery on the tablet.
The stock recovery won't install the OTA because when you added Gapps it changed some fies and the OTA sees those files as invalid and will fail.
Forced recovery always looks blank screen. It's waiting for you to give it a bootloader to run(beyond the scope here).
You should be able to get back on track once you have TWRP loaded. It's one of 3 things. Bad USB connection, fastboot driver not installed right, bootloader damage. Check the first 2 issues despite the fact the 3rd tablet had no such problems.
One of the XDA smart guys fixed my error of posting this in the wrong section.
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate and have installed and re-installed the drivers several times. When the tablet's are fully booted ADB has a good connection and sucessfully sends the command to reboot. So I don't believe there is a driver or USB cable error...
When the tablets hang on the fastboot protocol my computer makes the usb connecting noise but fails to install the drivers...
When I hit forced recovery I hear the unrecognized USB device sound...
These two things make me think I don't have the proper drivers installed...but I don't understand how the driver's work when the tablet is booted but not when trying to access the boot loader.
It appears as though I'm going to have to try the dd method if you are able to point me in that direction please.
EDIT: Now I'm thinking I really DON'T have the fastboot drivers installed. I just plugged the 2nd tablet that hands on the fastboot menu and fastboot failed. I also booted the tablet completly, the adb driver's installed correctly but the fastboot driver's did not...I have installed the 64 bit driver's included with nabilablite. I can't find any actual other downloads. The 15 second ADB installer didn't change anything...

Hi,
I decided to try to root a recently acquired Moto E (XT1526/5.1) and got it unlocked easily enough by following directions online. I have downloaded the motorola usb drivers, TWRP, Android SDK, SuperSU, and tried different versions.
After following the unlock guide, it says DEVICE IS UNLOCKED. STATUS: CODE 3
I open the command prompt in platform-tools and enter fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (file was renamed), and it shows it's sending recovery OK, writing recovery OK, and finished.
After that things don't progress, and there are options that I can scroll through:
Restart Bootloader...
Power off...
Factory Mode - resets it to fac settings I think
Bar Codes...
BP Tools?
QCOM?
Bootloader Logs...
Start - does the warning that it's unlocked and then starts the phone.
Reocvery Mode - flashes the unlocked warning and nothing else. It goes back to fastboot flash screen.
Guides show it going to TWRP screen after running the command prompt, and then options to load up files.
Am I missing something?
TIA

Decided to install it on my desktop. While trying various files, my laptop accidentally got hit with Chromium virus. It looked like all required files were there, but kept having problems with a couple of those sdk files (tools/platform tools).
I'm still getting the following error:

And once again the Android SDK Tools and Android SKD Platform-tools that are under Tools (preview channel) are unchecked. Not sure if they are needed.

I believe I have downloaded and installed/reinstalled everything 2 or 3 times. I have followed the guide here while reading and watching the video. I googled for other guides to fill in any information I didn't understand or see clearly. That was before I made this thread. I was hoping there might be something that is commonly overlooked. Phone seems to be ready, so I am assuming it's on the pc side. I read there is a way to do it with just the phone, but I'll try one more time on my laptop since that's what I have to work on today.

How to Install TWRP Recovery and Root MOTO E
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Jh-O2LGL3Y
OK, it is done.
Took a couple days with several hours of clicking, and checking settings, and reading and researching, and watching videos, and downloading, and installing/uninstalling, and restarting, but it's now rooted! Way too much time wasted even though it was raining and the gf and I were just watching movies for a lot of it. She kept asking me why I'd waste so much time and remind me I had a perfectly fine iphone nearby. Today I finally got to the point where I had given up. I figured something was screwed up with the phone after that reset on my computer.
Some highlights that may or may not be helpful for the next moto e rooter:
USB debugging was somehow switched to off a few times after I turned it on. Might have been after resetting phone, but who knows exactly.
I set screen to stay while connected via USB.
I removed all the apps I could and took out the sd card.
Kingoroot stuck at 66% many, many times, and then phone would restart. Research showed it may be accessing the wrong ADB instance or something. So I uninstalled SDK, fastboot, Minimal, etc. Anywhere it could have been hiding. Even did a system restore to last week the day I reinstalled windows. Didn't help one bit. Which is to also say... there are a half dozen or more legit options. Try different ones if you are relatively confident you followed directions the 1st 10 times.
Ministro didn't have moto e in their data base.
Finally back to XDA after checking a dozen videos (I have to admit I was completely dumbfounded and was mad at the whole process). I found XDA Kingroot and right away it worked, but it needed permission to allow apps that were not certified or some thing. I can see how people would think this is so easy. If I had started with this, I'd never have had to ask for help here. Btw, was this my problem all along? Did I miss that in the instructions or was it something else possibly? I don't remember if I did that before since it was 3 days ago.
So far I am thoroughly impressed with the this moto e. I paid $40 for it on a whim and now that I can remove a bunch of bloatware and customize it a bit, I think it may be a good gateway into android devices.
Thanks for looking and all your suggestions.
I've been in the same boat for weeks, thank you. I thought I had already tried KingRoot, but must have not, as it's working now and I have root and twrp installed, http://www.kingroot.net/ . Thanks again !

Glad it helped.
So I decided that I try and get TWRP to run on this phone. After researching, I followed a guide using stock firmware and a modified batch file. Phone is working, but wifi/4G/data isn't. I did all the basic trouble shooting and nothing works so I decided to just try install TWRP/supersu. The problem is that ADB isn't working again. It works when phone is on and shows up in adb devices, but not boot mode. Fastboot shows the device. But ADB doesn't show the device while in boot mode and it's not working.
I updated the drivers in the device manager.
I tried minimal fastboot and 15 second adb.
Reinstalled motorola drivers.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thx!

First of all adb doesn't work in fastboot mode. It only works when the phone is up and running.
Try
fastboot devices
If it shows up your device's serial no. then you're good to go, everything's working fine.
I didn't got what's you're exact problem is. Pardon me
Will you explain what you did before your wifi stopped working.

Thanks for that information. I thought I saw adb devices command working in fastboot mode in one of the videos so I thought that was the problem. I thought adb needed to root the phone.
In order of what I've done with the phone so far:
Sent/got codes and unlocked moto e.
Turned on developer options and USB debugging.
Was then unable to get TWRP or the other cw something to work using the command fastboot flash recovery (file name) or fastboot boot... commands.
Gave up and installed Kingroot and everything worked fine.
Decided to try to install TWRP and superSU since kingroot had worked. I read that the phone needed to be flashed back to stock to do this and watched/read a couple of guides. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759495
I used the following named file:
SURNIA_ACG_LTE_5.1_LPI23.29-30_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC
The phone was changed back, but data doesn't work. I can't access wifi because as soon as I switch it on, it switches back off. 4G, etc is not working either. So after trying to figure that out I decided to just proceed and put TWRP/superSU on the phone.
I powered off the phone. Powered into fastboot mode connected the phone to my computer.
I opened Minimal fastboot folder and shift/right click to bring up the command prompt.
In the command promt i typed fastboot devices and it shows my phone.
I then type fastboot flash recovery (file name or renamed to recovery or renamed to TWRP or I click the actual file and drag it to the command prompt) and then hit enter.
It says it's doing stuff in so many seconds, but after nothing happens. The phone doesn't reset like some of the videos. If I reset it, it powers on, but not into the TWRP screen.
After that I did more reading and found out that adb doesn't always play nice with windows 8.1 and that you might need to force other drivers to make it work right. I did this next and was going to try all the available options from universal naked driver later, but there were no motorola drivers.
Then I came here and learned something new. ADB devices command doesn't work when the phone is in fastboot mode so that has no effect on installing twrp...
Right now I am considering trying to install the other stock files I have access to:
SURNIA_ACG_LTE_5.1_LPI23.29-20_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC (20 instead of 30).
After that I am out of ideas if it's not the adb problem. Might kingroot again and go from there.
Ok after researching, it seems that LTE file may not work on sprint and there was success using the boost file from
http://www.filefactory.com/file/6be...XI22.50-14.8_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
(2 hour dl make that 5+ lol)

I'll try that next to get the wifi working and then figure out why it won't root.
Thx!

Okay dude first of all get rid of those videos (no offense to youtubers).
Check if your device shows up in adb devices. (When phone is on)
Check if your device shows up in fastboot devices (When phone is in fastboot mode)
If both of them shows positive then your setup is fine. Now move on to next part.
Get the right stock image for your device.
Go to your about phone in settings and match with your build/build number. (or give me a screenshot of your about phone and I'll find it for you)
Avoid using any kind of batch file(If you don't know what's there inside) and try to flash manually one by one.
After that flash your twrp recovery.
When this is completed use volume buttons on your phone to get to "Recovery" options in fastboot mode then press power button to boot into recovery.
You'll successfully boot into recovery then from there flash SuperSU. Avoid using kingroot.
The reason your wifi/data stopped working is because of the wrong boot.img(kernel). Since you've flashed the boot.img of same phone but different variant, you were able to turn on your phone. If it had any wrong boot.img your phone wouldn't have turned on anyway.

Thanks! The devices shows up when on as ADB and in fastboot too. I had to take a break when the kernel download took 8 hours, but I think I got the file that will work to fix the wifi issue. I can't mess with it til I get home tomorrow, but I will read and follow all advice.
For the previous poster, I did do the admin rights and did rename TWRP file to recovery... I aslo tried many other combinations, but will keep it in mind for all further attempts.
Appreciate the help so far. I almost left it with the kingroot, but it was bugging me that I couldn't get it to go. Hopefully I'll have good new tomorrow.

Device shows up in both instances.
It's stock now and the wifi works. Flashed it back to stock by following Mdkcheatz guide here:

I'm stuck where I was when I first started this thread. I've set my account up as administrator. Developer is enabled and so is USB debugging. I downloaded 2 different TWRP Condor files (3.0 and 2.7). I tried both and renamed them recovery just in case.
I confirmed the connection:
fastboot devices
I try to flash it with the:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
It says:

OKAY [ 0.359s]
writing 'recovery'...

I'm running windows 8.1 (64 bit). I read that some people had had problems with windows 8. Kingroot worked through the app store. It has been flashed with various stock kernels and that usually takes a few minutes so I don't think it's doing much in half a second. I'll research a bit more, but I think it just a bad combination of this version phone and windows 8.1.
I started the phone after this last attempt. Are there any files in internal storage that I should look for?

Flashed the wrong recovery dude. You're flashing twrp of condor.
Here's this might work for you : http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=10398#downloads
After done flashing. Open recovery mode and flash SuperSU.
Also I don't think there's any problem with windows 8.1
As long as you're opening cmd with admin rights and adb/fastboot commands are working for you everything's fine.

Just in time for Easter! You are correct. TYVM! I'm in TWRP and have to see about read only option again (read about it a week ago, I think it said to leave initially). SuperSU is next and then off to the races.

Be sure to flash the latest SuperSU (the systemless one).
Here's the direct link:

I am on v2.65. Should I use this version? I checked root and it's rooted, but I needed to use no bloat app (instead of free titanium) to remove some apps. Is that normal? I thought once rooted and set up, I would have complete control. Some apps seem very invasive so I haven't grabbed many yet. I have some questions about apps, etc., but will probably research and ask in another forum if needed.
Thx again for all the help and pointing out my mistake.
I had TWRP installed and all was good. Then I tried an OTA update. Update failed and now I can't get into recovery or fastboot. When I try it stops at the 1+ logo with Fastboot Mode written under the logo. This happens if I try Volum Up + power button or adb reboot-bootloader. Device is listed with ADB but won't show up for fastboot.
How do I get back to stock recovery and get the update installed?
Thanks!
Is fastboot installed properly on your PC?
Drivers?
If not and you get it working, you can use fastboot to flash a new recovery. Otherwise read ahead.
Does your phone boot? Is it rooted?
If so, you can try to flash a new recovery via tools like FlashFire, Flashify, Rashr, etc.
If none of those work for you, you can try the un-bricking methods.
I've had my Oneplus 2 hardbrick 3 times on me so far. The solution was to put the phone into a Qualcomm QHUSB_BULK mode, installing unsigned drivers in Windows, and using Chinese software to push recovery files to your phone.
For my first two hard bricks (My phone wasn't responding to anything - it would just show up in the device manager when plugged into the PC). I was able to write the stock recovery and boot files onto my phone by using Method 1 from this OnePlus Forums thread: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...ck-guide-for-a-hard-bricked-oneplus-2.347607/.
I was then able to boot to recovery and dirty flash my OS without any data loss this way.
The last hard brick was much worse and required me to completely reinstall everything on my phone via one of the other methods (I used this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/general/oneplus-solution-hard-bricked-device-t3183449 and ended up with H2OS, which I then replaced with OOS 3.1.0) - if it comes to that I would recommend checking out the other methods in the OnePlus Forum link below to hopefully avoid going through H2OS - but if not, this one worked.
Also, for updates: You'll need to to reflash (dirty flash) your rom first (this is to unroot/undo any modifications you made to the system, otherwise the OTA will fail) and then flash the OTA. You should be able to use TWRP for this.
Thanks for the reply. Got fastboot working on a different computer.
Phone boots just fine. Not rooted. Just can't access recovery mode or install updates
I tried loading stock recovery (as per this thread) with no change. Thinking I'll have to treat it like it's bricked. Would rather not have to wipe phone though, but doesn't look like I have much choice .
For the past two days I had faced the issue of connecting the device in fastboot mode. Mobile is working fine, loaded with latest firmware OTA updates from OnePlus.
I would like to install TWRP on my mobile but the device is getting detected in the fastboot mode. Tried various steps, reinstalled adb & fastboot as well as OnePlus drivers nothing works. However my mobile is being detected in the adb mode. If I run the command adb devices, it displays my mobile serial number but in fastboot it just sits at the waiting for the device screen.
After a lot of googling, xda search & Oneplus forums search, nothing found. Then I tried reinstalling the adb interface drivers manually, where I have noticed that Win10 installed the latest drivers adb drivers updated in the month of Sep16. Here I have selected the older version driver which was released in the year 2014 and installed it successfully. I run the fastboot devices command again Voila... It worked. no restart, no rebooting the phone. Immediately worked.
Lesson learnt : - Always do not use latest drivers, sometimes try the older drivers if something is not working in your phone.

Hello everybody,
I recently installed the Nokia X20 2022-08 update for Android 12 and rebooted my phone. Everything seemed fine, until I started to enter the PIN of my SIM card. After entering the 4th digit, the screen froze and nothing responded. I waited roughly 20 - 30 minutes, and the phone still did not respond. After that I gave my phone a reboot and it's been in a boot loop ever since hanging forever at the Nokia screen (it passes the Android One screen).
After a while, I rebooted my phone to the bootloader, unfortunately I do not have a recovery option (likely due to the fact that I've never enabled USB Debugging and Developer Options?) I only have the options:
- Reboot into bootloader
- Boot
- Power Off
- The command adb devices does not show the device while booting
- The command fastboot devices does not show the device while booting
- The command adb devices does not show the device in the bootloader
- The command fastboot devices does show the device in the bootloader
- Is there any way to get my phone into recovery mode in the current state?
- Is there any way I can get USB debugging enable, so that I can use adb (instead of just fastboot?)
- Is there a way that I can get the recovery option in the bootloader so that I can recover my phone?
Or is the situation hopeless and will I need to send in my phone for repair?
I've got the android-tools installed on my Linux machine?
Probably stupid question, but have you tried the keys: Power and Volume+ while powering up?
That should bring you into recovery mode as far as i know.
When I press the power and volume up it just keeps rebooting With the volume down combined it goes to the boot loader, but there's no recovery option there either.
Did you try to boot without any SIM card and SD card?

YOU'RE OUT OF LUCK, IT'S EFFECTIVELY FULLY BRICKED UNLESS YOU BRING IT TO THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE.
HMD's known for blocking people out of bootloader unlocking, and even if you beg them, they can't anyway (they released incomplete bootloaders for their retail units.) I'd say "call Hikari_Calyx" or something, but I don't think he can help with this issue.

what's your model, then? Those kinds of phones from Nokia/HMD are never able to enter fastboot/recovery mode though.
