I recently rooted my Lg G stylo (Metro). I was messing around with the Clockwork Mod Recovery. Long story short, I had to reboot into recovery but I keep getting a "Secure Booting Error" "Error code 1003". It keeps restarting over and over again and the same message keeps popping up. The screen doesn't pass the logo, it just shuts down after the error message shows up. repeat
There is no way to access the homescreen or anything. I trying to factory reset by holding the VOLUME DOWN + POWER KEY. It works. I get a menu that says Perform a factory reset , [Yes/NO]. When i click yes, the reset begins but after a while it shuts down and continues to repeat the same message. "Secure booting Error". "Error Code 1003". I have also been able to acces download mode where the screen would say firmware update/Usb. But idk what to do after that. Im pretty sure its not bricked since it still turns on.
Did you unlock the bootloader before you rooted or did you use one-click rooting apps to root your phone?
I have the same problem

As a new owner of an LG G Stylo MS631 (the Metro PCS model) I had the same issue just yesterday when working with GameTheory's Katana ROM and he pointed out that when the Secure Booting Error Code 1003 shows up it's because you have to go into the Developer Options (tap the build version 7 times under Settings - About phone - Software Info, back out two steps and then find the new setting just above About phone) and check the box next to "Enable OEM unlock" - this doesn't unlock the bootloader but it does allow you to use tools like TWRP without hassles or some of the reboot to recovery apps.
If you're getting the error and you can't get past it in any respect, you're going to need to flash the factory KDZ to get it truly useful again. That's what I ended up doing because there simply was no other way to get recovery or anything else working.
Flash the KDZ back to pure stock, go into the Developer Options and enable that option (Enable OEM unlock) and then go about rooting/flashing TWRP/etc.
Good luck...

Hello, I just soft brick my MS631 this morning. I had the phone rooted perfectly fine withthe katana ROM. Then, I stupidly use the reboot recovery option that is baked into the ROM withough developer options enabled and OEM chec (I forgot). Now, I get the looping Secure Booting Error 1003. If, I do the factory reset step (hold power and vol down) I get to the factory reset options, but when I select YES, it'll go through the loop again. HELP please, as I A) cant afford another phone right now and B) don't want to go back using my Windows 640 LTE phone with MetroPCS.

I did a similar thing. Go to HERE and follow GameTheory's unbrick guide. If you have problems downloading the KDZ like I did, then try getting it HERE
I actually did GT steps right after this post. Im now back on Katana and learned from my mistakes lol
I accidentally used king root without developer mode enabled
I also bricked my phone to the point of it being unusable. I am running on boost mobile and I am using android marshmallow 6.0. My phone said it was rooted after using the 1 Click root app and I went to start it and it now says 'security ERROR MODDED 1003'. I am stressed out at this point and I have reset it via developer menu about 3 times to no avail. I am familiar with rooting and roms but I'm not really used to using code. I'm stock everything and I am running on Boost mobile. If anyone can find a boost rom for me to use it may be possible to put my phone in download mode. I do have an sd card if it is needed to load a zip on. Please help me get my phone booted again! I believe a sprint KDZ may work but I can not find one for download anywhere. Thanks !
This may happened to me too. I am on the Boost version as well. I used the king root app to root the phone then I tried to install the adaway app. When the app told me to reboot the phone, I clicked okay but I hit the secure bootloop. I didn't even try to install a recovery. How do I fix this?!?!?!

What if you cant get the phone to do anything outside of the boot loop?

So I rooted my sister's optimus v about a month ago. Today she installed a battery mod app from applanet and as soon as she chose which battery mod she wanted she had to restart her phone for the changes to be applied, but when rebooting the phone it would only get stuck in reboot. So I tried to start it up in recovery and got the blue screen that says fastboot mode started. I looked that up online and found a fix to it but I need it to go into emergency mode to fix it that way and it will not go into emergency mode, any combination of keys only takes it to either the blue screen with the fastboot mode message or it just reboots and gets stuck. So now what do I do? I really need to find a way to fix her phone. Thanks in advance to anyone who tries to help.
try to turn on the phone & use LGMobile update tool. That should recognise the phone & install original lg fw

I managed to finally get the phone into emergency mode. I had installed the LG mobile support tool and installed all the drivers and tried to go that route but it kept telling me I only had one of four drivers installed, even though I have installed several drivers. After all of that I had finally got it into emergency mode so I went back to trying KDZ. I'm supposed to select the rom where it asks for the KDZ file right? But when I go to browse for the rom file it doesn't show up in the folder I put it in. I've rooted 4 phones and have done so many other things with them and never bricked one, was always able to figure out everything I did and never had to ask any questions but I can't figure this out to save my life and it is driving me crazy. I do really appreciate you guys for the suggestions and thanks to your suggestions I have gotten this far.
Hey, I have the same problem. I rooted my phone then I installed that battery mod app on applanet. I installed it then when I had to restart my phone for it to apply it just got stuck and kept looping the reboot screen where it says "ANDROID". Did you get ur fixed yet?

I'm having the same issue right now, although at least you have managed to get it into emergency mode. How did you do it?
The other issue I'm seeing is that there is no .kdz for the Optimus V LGVM670. I found a .cab file that is supposed to be the newest update, but not even sure that will work with the the kdz manager.
It was my sister's phone and I had the same problem with kdz. Had the cab file so couldn't use it with kdz. My sister left her phone with me for a few days to try to fix it and when I couldn't she took it home and managed to fully brick it to where it would do nothing at all so she had to get a new phone. I got it into emergency mode by holding down the volume and it was either the back button or the home button I pushed at the same time, can't remember which. As I held those down I plugged in the USB cord that was connected to my laptop and it went right into emergency mode. Just make sure you disable that LG modem in the device manager on the computer before doing anything because my sister forgot to do that and that is how she fully bricked her phone. Good luck to you guys and if anyone figures out how to fix it I would be interested in knowing how you did it.

hmmmmm, I don't remember completely how I did it, but there was a very helpful guide floating around XDA. I bricked my Mom's Optimus one as well . I actually had to go to the LG support site, type in my Phone serial number and find a list of all the firmware available. From there I right clicked the page and got the page source. From there I got my firmware and I entered it in the KAZ or LG B2I Agent ? - Dont quite remember. Anyways, it ended up working out for me, but I accidentally flashed the German firmware, but in the end, everything was all good LOOL.
I hit a wall with this issue. After rooting and trying to install a new rom, I am getting the security error on the LG logo. I can access updater with vol+ and insert usb, but I am stuck on how to restore anything or access boot menu. Any suggestions? The computer no longer seems to be able to access the phone as a device via command prompt.
Thanks in advance!

I searched but could not decipher a clear way to fix the problem. This is what I did to fix it.
Open LG Mobile Update (Make sure you have internet on)
Input MEID (located behind battery)
Connect phone to computer via USB in S/W upgrade mode (Vol+ then insert USB)
Let LG download and install phone recovery
NOTE: Recovery stopped at 4% install, but just leave it alone, and it will install correctly. It never went past 4%
NOTE: This will return your phone to factory settings like the day you got it, so you will have to re-root if you use this method.
There may be a way to fix this without losing root, but this was the only way I could figure out.

Do you have a download link for the updater that asks for the IMEI? My LG Mobile Updater only asks for phone model.
Also, am I supposed to be doing a regular software update or "upgrade recovery" option?

bro make sure you have unlocked bootloader if you haven't
check the android development forum you will get scripts to put phone in fastboot.
unlock the bootloader
flash CWM recovery
download nanadroid back up for your phone model. from general section.
copy it to ext sdcard, and restore your phone via cwm reovery.
LG's flashing software is just pain to use. use CWM to restore your L9/

Connect the phone without battery to computer and install fast boot drivers for omap chipset. Again check the dev section " how to install fast boot drivers"
Unlock the darn boot loader
Flash CWM recovery
Restore via nandroid back .
Offline flash method is bit completed and may not work every time
After trying to restore a nandroid backup via CWM, phone is hard-bricked. Sent to service, where they changed (mother)board.
Just for those, who lost their faith (in LG9) - when you see 'security error' on each boot (like I saw yesterday) after flashing CWM on not unlocked bootloader and, after stock ROM flashing, you see dead android with exclamation heart outside - it is normal, and it is still OK - thanks to bootloader being locked
- u can use any good method to flash stock ROM back - I have used this program combined with official LG Mobile Supprt Tool
- I have turned phone off (by battery removing for a moment)
- kept Volume up pressed when connecting to USB - I had no message that any phone is connected - I didn't bother
- flashed stock (20o in my case)
- saw 'dead' android with its exclamation heart outside - bothered for a moment
- removed battery to restart phone
- I have found that all is working :laugh: back
- rooted with Kingo in a minute
- then a step u can omit - I passed the whole procedure again, as I'm faster then smarter
All done with W8/64-bit and my 10cm nokia usb cable, which I found the best in flashing when some longer or 'filtered' cables do not see the phone
I recently switched phones(both same model optimus fuel due to loose heaphone connection) long story short all my info is on 1st phone(important texts/phone numbers) I only have one battery to share between the two phones(wasn't huge deal!) I could just put battery back in my old phone if I needed info from an old text ect! today I put battery back in and tried to turn it on all it does is blink on and off the screen with Lg logo and security error comes up(won't go anywhere else??) can't understand how all of a sudden this happened sitting around with no battery in it nor was it jarred gotten wet ect?? any help appreciated call or text me at(814)493-7199 Jim thanks

Can someone answer what flashing does NOT mean.
1) It does NOT wipe your user data, correct?
2) It means fix the OS to make the phone start up (without affecting user data), correct?
3) I see people give advice to flash or use S/w recovery tool. But I need confirmation that it doesnt factory wipe or delete user data.
4) Or please tell me what method I should do to preserve the internal SD card, or harvest it, or if there is a way to connect the cord in a certain [phone mode] so I can download the data from a phone that wont start (logo loop).
Thanks.
Oh, you cited me and if u mean LG L9 - I do not remember exactly now, it was a short adventure. There is no general answer to your questions 1 - 3, it depends on the data organization in the system. As far as I remember it was OK for the given procedure, but not for sure . maybe someone else can help. And good but too late for you advice is to make copies of all important data and settings before u try to change anything in your system.

Can someone answer what flashing does NOT mean.
1) It does NOT wipe your user data, correct?
2) It means fix the OS to make the phone start up (without affecting user data), correct?
3) I see people give advice to flash or use S/w recovery tool. But I need confirmation that it doesnt factory wipe or delete user data.
4) Or please tell me what method I should do to preserve the internal SD card, or harvest it, or if there is a way to connect the cord in a certain [phone mode] so I can download the data from a phone that wont start (logo loop).
Thanks.

I had rooted my T mobile LG G2 yesterday, loaded TWRP today - THOUGHT I had created a back up, then loaded Titanium (free-so no freeze).
Was cleaning up the bloatware and was doing fine, until (yes, I know I'm an idiot) I deleted "Home" and everything went black. Finally got back to TWRP and there is no saved ROM to restore and it gives the error message that it can't locate the storage.
So I can't recovery through TWRP, the adb doesn't recognize any device and I can't do a factory reset... anyone have any ideas of how I can fix this?
Thanks in advance and please don't revoke my learner's permit. :

I googled LG G2 emergency mode 15 different ways and finally found "GRUB", but it says it not available anymore except FTP, which obviously I can't do.
Sorry for being the noob but could you be a little more detailed on this, as this is my first android root and consequentially my 1st destruction of my phone. I literally have 2 days experience gained from 'attempting' to understand the whole process. :cyclops:

Thanks again. I had already followed this thread, but when I entered download mode, a firmware update started. Stopped immediately at 0% and gave me a "rooted" in red letters at the bottom.
Then found this video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6SGWR0hGg4 and realized that I should proceed anyway. Got to the same point he did at 8:00 but when undid and reconnected the program continued. My just keep saying the phone wasn't connected by usb.

Turns out I didn't have the correct usb drivers on the computer... finally got it back up and running, so thanks for the input. Now I have to make sure that I back it up CORRECTLY this time on TWRP.

Needs update
This Phone really needs an update, it reboots and sucks, we can't even get into fastboot or anything to try to unlock the bootloader someone needs to make this possible because who in the hell uses only 4gb of storage, apps are so big and you can only download like 3 apps then you have to get rid of something if you want another app and its dumb so please someone..HELP US :crying:
Throwing my post up here so I can follow. Need root bad on this thing. I am using lite versions of every app. Lol
Same problem w/ ZTE obsidian..tCan't move to SD card. Anybody figure somethcing out yet?
I've gotten Kingroot to attempt to root it once and the results varied. Usually got 16% but the highest was almost 30% but I can't even get kingroot to even root it anymore.
The phone is not going into fastboot at all. I think the bootloader is locked. The phone will never be rooted.
I might of found a way, but it's untested so, proceed at your own risk, I am not responsible if your phone becomes bricked.
Enable developer mode and tick "OEM Unlocking" in the developer menu
Download SuperSU update zip from Chainfire's site and put it on your sdcard (internal won't work)
Power off your phone and hold power and volume up
Select recovery, wait for the android with the lid open to show up
Hold power and volume up for a couple seconds and let go
A menu should pop up, if not try again until it does
Select "update from sdcard"
Select the SuperSU zip
Let it flash the zip (shouldn't take long)
Choose reboot
See if SuperSU is installed and test that it works
Again, this is untested and would need a couple of people testing it to make sure it works flawlessly, so if this worked, please post that it did.
Nope. Thank you though.

You have to hold down power and vol up for like 2 seconds when you get to the dead android, then you'll get the recovery menu.
When I try to install the update package, I get 'opening update package' followed after less than a second by 'installation aborted'.
I powered down from the Developer Options screen with OEM unlock turned on when trying to update - it appears to turn off during boot as it is off again on restart.
Any suggestions? I looked at the logs that are visible from the recovery screen but they did not seem to have anything useful. Are there logs I can retrieve via ADB to see what the issue is?
My phone has build B18.

OEM Unlocking is always on for me even after restarts but I haven't tried to flash SuperSU yet. You might wanna get a logcat while doing it and post it here to see if anyone knows what the problem is. I have an older build of the phone (B03) but I dunno if it matters or not.
EDIT: Also every new Kingroot build allows you to attempt to root it for like 2 days and then it just can't for some reason but the thing with 18% still happens.

The logcat I am familiar with is in ADB. The only way I can find to access the phone from recovery with ADB is to select the flash from ADB option, which puts the phone in sideload mode where you can't pull data off. I was unsure if trying to load the ZIP that way would brick the phone so I haven't tried it.
I also tried using Fastboot and it doesn't recognize the phone at any time.
Is there another way to capture what is happening with the update?
I tried selecting restart in bootloader from the recovery menu with the phone connected to the PC. It stayed at the ZTE splash screen for over 10 minutes but neither fastboot nor ADB was able to communicate with it. I tried various key combinations without effect and finally ended up pulling the battery. Maybe it just froze up during boot for some reason.
I have tried every one-touch root I can find, none of them work. All the manual guides start with unlocking the bootloader - which I can't find any info on for this model. Based on the partition info, it's definitely locked: it has 27 (!) partitions including names like seccfg and oemkeystore. Is this normal for a lollipop device?
Oh guys, I badly need your experties. Just as I have in the title, I have a rooted Meizu M5 Note. I rooted the phone believing that I can do much more if it is rooted. But in 6 months of trying to understand what I can do with this said rooted phone, I realized now that there are not much to do with it... Probably because of the brand, so I decided to unroot
The rooting process was from here: giving me error so if requested, i'll give the link.
I have an Android build 7.0.0.0
So here is my issue:
In the same site, I found that I can unroot.. yes, UNROOT the rooted model of phone using superSU by going to its Settings and clicking unroot (or Unroot all something..). It took a bit while, so I decided to restart the device. Yes, while SuperSU was trying to unroot my phone.
Upon restart, it now could not boot.
I allowed 30 minutes, the screen only shows Flyme logo with a spinning circle. So from here, I made up my mind to perform the factory reset/restore:
Turned off Phone > Press and hold Power key + Volume Up... until I reach the screen with options to:
-Update system.
-Wipe data.
I selected Wipe data, for it will reset the system settings. It will now show the
"Wiping data.
Please dont turn off the phone, or it may fail to boot"
It will only last for 2 seconds - and will then again reboot and stop in Flyme logo with a never ending spin below.
_________________
It was already the factory reset, which I thought should help, but it wont work.

Things I tried:
- Used ADB to flash an offcial update rom from the flymeos.com, but the ADB Flashtool would not read the device because the USB Debugging is turned OFF.
- Googling any possible solutions, but cannot find any - nor any known programs that will allow me to read the not booting phone.
- Fast boot or safe mode, which only wont proceed.
- The Recovery Menu (the un-clickable one) must be locked by the manufacturer.
Can anyone please tell me:
- Is there anyway I can access the phone's drive so I can put the Update zip folder, which will help me to use the 1st recovery option "Update system"??
- Do you have any software that can help me enable the USB debugging when the phone wont boot at all??
Thanks guys..
All the help I can get will be best appreciated.
I tried posting this to forum.FlymeOS, but no one seems to have any interest on helping.
It is now you, that i think can help.
This is my Only phone, and cant afford to lose it...
Same issue with my Meizu M5 Note. I tried a tutorial on how to unlock it's bootloader. But after going through the first step, the SP Flash tool showed some error on how it does not turn on our go recover mode or anything... In really sad
Somebody please help!
