hi got a customer with a mozart and they tried upgrading and failed now all i get is a pc with a usb connected to a phone, tried the update and also the microsoft fix with no joy. can anyone help thankx
Have you tried a hard reset?
whiles the phone is off, hold volume up/down then power on for a master reset menu.
thanks for your reply i tried all that nothing works
does the phone boot up to the usb mode, and dont do anything else, if yes, i think it's a failed upgraded.
you need to do a full flash to get it back to normal, if the master reset does not work.

grrrcan someone tell me how to fix this bloody phone
in the link posted, you will find info on flashing and the roms you need.
My Xperia Neo V does not turn on, just shows Sony Ericsson and is always doing a loop trying to start.
I've tried hard reset in 3 ways:
Volume Up + Power
Volume Down + Power
Back + Menu + Power
None of them worked.
I've tried using the PC Companion software to update, but nothing done with phone turned off.
I've tried installing a new kernel, but the phone is not recognized.
I do not know what I can do.
Is there any way to access the system folders in the internal memory via PC without turning the phone on?
Does anyone have an idea?

Hi,
This is my suggestion:
first download FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick
http://www.multiupload.com/Q103V01CV1
Follow instructions (if u familiar with updating with sony ericsson pc companion, this u can do)
Turn of phone, do not connect get.
Simple, start FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick, click flash. Choose loader.sin on the right. Then click OK,
Hold in back button while Now connect phone with usb cable.
See its flashing, wait till it's done, unplug phone,. try to boot up phone.
Hope it helps. Helped me when i play to much with phone and brick it.
Thanks for the help, but I have my bootloader locked.
Instead I used SEUS and managed to reinstall the software.
Now I have to root again, but at lest the phone is back
Thanks for the help

Great Main thing u back on track!
Tip: bootloader do not need to be unlocked to use that tool.
I used it to fix bricked, before i unlocked mine.
But i'll guess it has to be rooted
Have a great weekend!

The main reason for me not to unlock bootloader is to keep warranty.
Now that I have my phone back, sure it is going to be a great weekend

A few weeks a go I dropped my phone in some water. It appeared to be dead, so I left it off. After a day I turned it back on and everything was fine again except the volume up key was not working. Anyway I could live with that, in fact I lived with it so much that I all but forgot about it. That was until today...
I tried to flash a new ROM and something went wrong and I got stuck in a bootloop, no problem just boot into recovery right.... oh yeah requires volume up key :crying: Then I thought oh ok no problem I will boot into Custom OS flash mode and reflash a stock ROM with ODIN.... oh **** first stage is 'Volume up: Continue'. So I am stuck.
I have taken the phone apart to clean out the buttons but it all seems OK.
I think I know the answer to this ("No" or "Get your volume key fixed") but is there any other way I can solve this issue and flash any ROM without sending it back to my network or manufacturer?
use adb dude :highfive::highfive: when u stuck just type adb reboot recovery
u need to have android sdk on ur pc

Thanks for the reply. Is adb accessible from this situation? I did try it but when I did "adb devices" it didn't list my phone which lead me to believe that adb was not accessible in this situation (i.e. the phone must be booted up.
I think I have sorted it now, I went in to ODIN mode and hammered the volume up key about 100 times in quick succession, eventually one of them registered and it went into Download Mode, I have just followed the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458 and it looks like I have my phone back
I think until the volume key is sorted I might have to flash via ODIN.

i think stock kernel dont support adb on boot or in recovery
u can go into recovery from device in terminal just type : reboot recovery or i think rom manager has option to reboot into recovery or adb
and 99% from roms on xda have option to reboot into recovery when u press power button
JIG?

Hello guys i am pretty stuck on bootloop after flashing a new custom rom to my device, and my volume + (up) is no longer working, meaning i can get into recovery mode. Please is there anyway to fix this issue. I need this urgently
Hi there,
Some weeks ago, after many months of low space problems, I did a factory reset instead of deleting app by app.
But after that, I started having some problems:
Home button doesn't returns to Home, but it still works for mousing off the screen when it's off
Recory is missing
I give apps root, but they don't turn root.
The home button ... well, I can survive without. The Recovery... I haven't used it since I installed it. But the root is very important, as I want to use many apps but I need root to use them.
So well, let's try another factory reset. But nothing changes. So... let's change the ROM. But hey! I need recovery for that...
I haved tried many times to root or unroot the mobile, but it doesn't works. I have done it using many ways in Windows and Ubuntu, but nothing works.
Do you have any ideas about how can I fix this problems?

Instead of tweaking your device by rooting it or unlocking it.. I suggest you to repair the phone's software by PCC or SEUS!

To install recovery use xparts from playstore!
Or if your bl is unlocked then flash any kernel using fastboot! Every kernel with itself has an inbuilt recovery!

I managed to access recovery. And I installed a ROM, hoping that it could repair easily all my problems, plus upgrading my phone at the same time. I installed this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880321
I downloaded all the .zips I saw, and thinking that I could merge all them into a single one, I did. I though that this was the way to do it.
I did a backup of the phone, and erased cache, dalvik and did a factory reset. I installed the merged .zip, and after reboot:
The phone boots, the "Sony Ericsson" screen lasts for a few seconds, then I get a black screen for a few seconds, and the "Sony Ericsson" screen appears again, to dissapear, and keeps looping indefinitely.
I have been trying for a while, but I'm unable to boot the Recovery or even the Download mode. Maybe I don't know how? What I do:
Press power until it boots, wait until Sony Ericsson logo appears, start pressing Vol Down again and again <-- This worked for me earlier for accessing recovery before installing the zip
Hold power, home, and Vol Down (When doing this, after each 10 seconds (after the Sony Ericsson logo fades away, the mobile vibrates shortly, like when powering it off)
Hold power, home, and Back
Hold power and back
Hold and Vol up
Have I bricked it? How could I repair this for installed each zip one by one?
Guess that by now, I'll have to search my wristwatch.
To Enter Recovery:
You have to press back key again and again while booting(on Sony logo appears).
To Download mode:
Power off the phone.
Then plug the usb while pressing back key.
To Fastboot mode:
Power off the phone.
Then plug the usb while pressing menu key.
To Install a stock rom:
Download a Stock rom.
Then flash it via Flashtool.
or
Use PC Companion to repair.

This was the solution. I though that it was some ****ty software that wouldn't work properly, but I have to say that it's intuitive, and have repaired my phone without problems.
Thanks a lot. This have returned my phone to the state of after-buy, which is why I did the factory reset that made so much problems. Thanks!
alright guys, so here's the story. just yesterday i bought a brand new lg v10, got it home and the first thing i did was root the device and used ADB to load TWRP following the instructions here on SDA to a T for the ROOT/RECOVERY setup. and it worked. all was fine and dandy, the first time i booted into TWRP via ADB after root i got in, flashed a debloated ROM + xposed and again, everything went fine.. loaded into the OS of the new ROM, went through setup, turned on USB debugging, clicked always allow this computer, installed xposed app yadayadayada. I then, using ADB again, loaded into TWRP. i created a backup there just in case something went wrong with the changes i was about to make and once the backup was complete i loaded back in to the OS. at this point i thought i had done everything right and was confident that if i made system changes that didn't work out i could just flash the phone with TWRP from the backup i made. right? WRONG! ...apparently... so anyways, i made my first change, which was to use a NONROOT app called texdroider or whatever to change my DPI (as i have done with a couple phones previously without much issue) but i didn't take into account that stupid second screen... making the DPI changes system wide, as i'm sure those of you that know this phone are aware, causes the systemUI to crash with an error.. making the OS unusable.. so i tried to load into TWRP by holding the volume down and power button.. but instead it just booted me to the factory recovery.. not TWRP... the phone is unusable within the OS, i can't get the phone to connect to adb to boot into twrp as i had previously, i can't seem to get the phone into download mode, and i can't boot to TWRP and the OS is junk at this point.. but it DOES say on the "LG" screen that the bootloader is unlocked so i'm really hoping i'm not completely out of luck.. but i am not sure what to do at this point. does anyone here know of anything i can try to get into a custom recovery at this point? if i could get into TWRP my SD card in the phone has a backup, the original image, not to mention i could pull the SD card and add anything i need via my pc and then boot back to twrp etc etc and i would have no issue fixing the phone... i really don't understand what i did wrong or why i can't boot to my custom recovery but i'm at a loss.. i'm just looking for a way to force the phone into a custom recovery... or restore the original factory image.. if you have any advice at all i would really appreciate it.
Thanks for reading
**UPDATE** this may or may not make things much easier... but I got download mode working!! so at least there's that, still no custom recovery and i'm currently looking for a KDZ or TOT file to flash via lg flash tool... hopefully that makes things easier..
When you say you got to the factory recovery, what was that, an Android on its side or something asking you to factory reset your device? If it was the factory reset screen, if you select yes and then yes, it will take you to TWRP if you have it installed. If you don't it will factory reset your device.

To boot into recovery from power off, you hold volume down & power. When you see the LG logo release and press power while continuing to hold volume down. Then as said above, it come up as a factory reset, select yes each time, and it should boot into twrp, providing you installed it correctly.

it was a screen asking me to do a factory reset, i click yes, it asks to confirm, i click yes again and then it "successfully" factory resets my phone... it shows the android factory reset symbol that its resetting, then says that its "optimizing apps" and goes through that whole process.. but when it finally loads the "welcome" screen (so i know for a fact that some sort reset has taken place) i get the same "systemui has crashed" error and the OS is unusable and won't connect to my computer.. idk why i can't access TWRP.. i booted to it 3 times before this happened, though never by the hardware buttons on the phone.. everytime i booted to TWRP i had used ADB to boot to TWRP.. what makes me the most sad is that i have a nandroid backup on my SD card... but i can't flash it without recovery.. which i can't install on the phone without getting into the OS..
is there any way to install TWRP or even boot to a temporary TWRP so that i can do so? if i can flash my nandroid i'm saved.. if i can get into a custom recovery i'm saved.. if i can find a .kdz file to flash, i'm saved... if i can get my phone to be recognized by my computer/adb i'm saved.... there simply has to be a way to unbrick this phone...

well i seem to have somehow NOT installed TWRP correctly because it just proceeds to factory reset my phone.. which for some odd reason doesn't reset the DPI... leaving me stranded... is there any way to get ADB to see my device in its present state? my computer makes the device recognition noise when i enter download mode and i can see it in device manager but not my computer or ADB
I've had this phone just over 2 months but I'm not positive, is download mode the same as the bootloader on this device? If so, fastboot commands should work, and you can flash TWRP again, or do 'fastboot boot TWRP_filename' and it will boot TWRP temporarily.
Oh, and the factory reset just wipes your data, but otherwise doesn't restore your system to factory state. That's why your dpi change remained.

dude.. then what good is a factory reset?!? like seriously... and yeah, i tried that but i can't get adb to connect in download mode.. the device doesn't show up when I type "adb devices" like it did when i first rooted it. ... and i thought i followed the instructions exactly as it was laid out from this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/guide-how-to-root-lg-v10-easy-t3274699
i think somewhere in there i must have missed something and ended up only booting into twrp temporarily.. which is certainly possible since i never boot to twrp during that initial process from the hardware keys or soft keys.. always through adb.. the phone was already plugged in.. typing the command was a couple keys away..
is there anyway to get TWRP on to the phone now? or am i screwed :'(
Well, it is a factory restore for the average user, because the average person isn't modifying their system. But no, I'm sure you're not screwed. If you're in the bootloader you can't use adb, you're already past that step, so you can skip to the fastboot part. What happens when you type fastboot devices? If the phone shows up then you can either fastboot flash or boot TWRP..

from what screen should i be attempting this? hold volume up with phone off and plug in to computer to enter download mode? should i try it at the factory reset screen (volume down plus power)? those are the only two screens i seem to have access to.. in download mode my pc/adb just doesn't recognize the phone.. it doesn't show up as a proper device like it did before this whole thing and in that factory reset mode i get nothing.. the download mode seems like its built for LG and runs from different drivers because in device manager it shows up with an error code that it couldn't start the device (this was not the case when i was using adb to unlock the bootloader and then using the bootloader to boot to TWRP..) what am i missing?

No problem buddy, and sorry for the confusion. You want to be on the bootloader screen, so here is what you can do: turn the phone off(or remove the battery if you have to, and put it back in), plug the usb cable into the computer only(not phone), hold volume down on phone, plug the usb cable into the phone. That should get you into the bootloader, and then you should be able to fastboot flash or fastboot boot TWRP.
Waiting for a resolution to this thread!
I'm pulling for you from the cheering section. (otherwise known as afraid to do it myself section!)
I'm pretty sure others have come through this exact situation unharmed (I've pretty much read every thread here.) so it's only a matter of time before you get this figured out.
Here's hoping it's sooner than later.
Sorry I can't offer more besides encouragement!

@ngoblirsch Along with the information provided in these suggestions and what you have said, you need to reinstall your LG/fastboot drivers on your PC while in fastboot mode

OH DEAR GOD THANK YOU!!!!
I spent all damn day yesterday trying to figure out how to get to the bootloader on this phone.. everything i read online said to hold volume down PLUS power while plugging it in and it was NOT working lmao. dude, thank you so much. after i read that comment here it took me about 30 seconds to connect to adb and boot to TWRP. This thread can be listed as RESOLVED!

Well I appreciate the encouragement, it sure seems to have helped! Issue has been resolved. ended up that i just didn't know the hardware key combination to get to the bootloader/fastboot mode without being already connected to adb. nothing that i could find online said to hold volume down while plugging it in to a computer. as soon as i was able to do so i connected to adb and it was a breeze from there; I am now back with an OS AND a customer recovery properly installed on the device!! I will be hanging around these forums for as long as i have this phone so i'm sure i'll bump into you guys! absolutely love the community here on XDA, you guys are freaking awesome!!
