Hello Everyone,
I pray all had a wonderful weekend. I am a frequent visitor to this site and love all the advice and work many of you do. Thanks for all the support this far!
I searched through the forum to see if I could find some similar issues but was unsuccessful at finding it. I currently have the LG V10 (LG-H901) by T-Mobile running 5.1.1. I was able to successfully unlock the bootloader via fastboot. I came across the issue when I tried to install TWRP-2.8.7.1-h901.img. It would go through fine on CMD but just would not go through on the phone. The fastboot menu would boot up strangely (After unlocking the bootloader) with the text all pixelated in a way. You are unable to read the words. The phone works fine. It happened to me on two phones so it must be something that I am doing incorrectly but just can't find it on Google or this forum. I apologize if I messed and and hate to start a new thread if its here but no such luck finding it. Anyone experience this before or might have some advice? Thanks!

If it happened on two phones. Then it's likely a step you are overlooking. The biggest thing you need to consider when working on a new device is making sure you have ALL prerequisites before flashing, fastbooting, adb, etc.
- Make sure you have LG usb drivers installed, then reboot your PC.
- Install ADB system-wide
- Turn on OEM unlock in your Dev-settings
- Make sure USB debugging in ticked AND you allow always for the connected PC.
Then start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/guide-how-to-root-lg-v10-easy-t3274699
Read Read Read Read and Read.
I will give this another try when I get home from work. I am pretty sure I did all that was said but like you stated seems I missed a step somewhere. By going through the steps here over again, even though I went through I might have gone through them already, would that cause any damage? If not I will just go through step one all over again. I did not get the instructions from here so I want to start from the very beginning with the link you posted. Thanks!

Thanks! I've made sure that's been on from the get go. Forgot I had class today so I am waiting to fly outa here to try this out. I will be sure to update this thread with my results. Any other advice is in the mean while is always welcome.
I first checked if all things above were checked off in the Dev options. They both were the Enable OEM unlock and USB Debugging. I then went in and tried the one click. It booted into fastboot fine but when it gets to the point where its suppose install TWRP the phone itself does nothing. CMD executes fine. The phone just stays where the screen tells you some of the fastboot instructions. From some other sites and videos online it suppose to install TWRP and you can boot right into it.
When you restart the phone you get the message that the bootloader is unlocked on the top left corner. I can't get to the recovery to see if it was even installed. Doesn't seem like it was.
This last step is killing me as I know once I get through this I am rooted. I can try doing it step by step again but feel like I will get the same results. Worth a shot anyways.
When I do "adb reboot recovery" I get a dead android with a red exclamation mark.

Wht Rom Are U Using

UPDATED. This will put you to STOCK 2.2! Using ODIN thanks to eugene373.
If you want stock and are able to get in to recovery and want a flashable rom. click here
This started as a thread asking for help, with the little help I got... and a little searching NOW this thread is to help other people who are having the same problem
ALSO its to show that a little searching on this forum, you will pry find the answers you are looking for.
EVERYTHING in here I found in the Bible, that is located in the development section.
This guide is for non hardware locked vibrants... if you are hardware locked check out this threadhere
First off you will need to get odin and the correct files.
I have packaged eugenes 2.2 pit and tar(md5) files in a zip along with odin. these are all the files you will need and you can download them here
(remember this is for unofficial 2.2 if you want Official 2.1 files click here )
s15274n (thread here) has everything you will need in his [Tips & Tricks] thread AND MORE!
so make sure to check that out and read the "EASY WAY TO GET THE JI6 UPDATE" before you go any further with my thread.
Georgegreco86(thread here) made this awesome image (below) and it works perfectly....
HOWEVER some times there are some complications that happen that i cover below.
TO GET IN TO DOWNLOAD MODE
I have found the EASIEST WAY to do this is:
1.pull the battery out of the phone.
2.plug usb into computer
3.put the battery back in the phone
4.hold in the volume up and down
5.plug usb in to phone
it should bring you to the download mode in seconds.
now you should unplug the usb From the phone..
make sure the battery stays in, and open odin.
now follow the instructions below.
1. Open Odin3_v1.0
2. Load .512 into the PIT placeholder
(In this case s1_odin_20100512)
3. Load *FILE.tar* into PDA placeholder
(In this case Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo.tar.md5)
4. Make sure COM port has a number in it
This means your phone is connected, if your phone is not connected make sure you have the correct drivers)
5. Press Start!
6. If you it all works your done... if not keep reading!

IF YOU RUN IN TO PROBLEMS!
If your phone is not connecting to odin.It might be because you need the correct drivers, thanks to TGA_Gunnman they are located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929.
I was able to just let the computer search for them and with a few clicks, had the drivers installed.
To install the Android USB driver on Windows Vista for the first time:
1. Connect your Android-powered device to your computer's USB port. Windows will detect the device and launch the Found New Hardware wizard.
2. Select "Locate and install driver software."
3. Click "Next." Vista may prompt you to confirm the privilege elevation required for driver installation. Confirm it.
Freezing on "cache.rfs"
searching on google i found a website called fractionalphones.com, the post was about this and it said what i had to do was reboot my computer and hit F8 (just keep touching it) and when it gets to the "safemode screen" arrow down to "Disable Digital Signature Verification"
Also a problem Some people had was the usb port used...
So if it does not work try a new port!
Use oclf. Remove the lag fix first, then ant other optimizations you may have clicked, then ext 2 and finally root. I had to do this to send back my phone. Now the ext2 takes awhile so be patient.

It wont let me remove the lag fix, v2 says i dont have the lag fix installed
and v1 says "you only have 346MB free on RFS, but 364MB used on EXT2. You must free up some space"
and then it tells me i dont have enough to install either v1 or v2 of the lag fix
BUT my quadrant is 2000+ so i know its installed.
i saw the other tread about this but it didnt really tell me much.

LOL, One of the reasons I suggested Odin. It'll "just work" even if you have the lagfix (at least it did for me). Make sure you backup everything on the SD card that you want & tell it to repartition. If all goes well, everything down to the internal SD card has been put back to stock.
I know when I did the lagfix, I had a PC app that just ran ADB commands in a batch file (basically). After a week or so it got unbearably slow and even the remove lag fix that came with it wouldn't work, so I used Odin to go back to stock.
--------
But, I think what it's complaining about is you need to free up ~20MB of space in order to remove the lag fix. Since it needs to move the files that it put on the ext2 partition back to the RFS partition, it needs at least that much space before it can move the files & then delete the ext2 partition.
bumping because I figured out what I was doing and I think this can help a lot of other people.
I'm trying to do the "Odin back to stock" process but I'm having a little trouble. I've got all the files and opened Odin etc. I entered the .pit file and the .tar file. Auto-reboot and f. reset time are checked. I click start and I get "<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)"
What am I doing wrong?

Odin isn't recognizing your phone. You should double check that the drivers are properly installed. Then, make sure Odin is on and click Reset if need be. Put phone into Download Mode and then plug it into computer.. A yellow box should appear at top of Odin, which let's you know you're successfully connected.
Hope that helps!

Try re-downloading the files and doing it again, maybe you got a bad file or something? This should work and if it does not... like I said I'm brand new to this, I had a problem figured out how to fix it and figured share the info, if it does not work for you, hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in.

You don't need to send to HTC for repair. More likely than not, we can fix it. If not, then yes, you send to HTC.
Okay, I can't read chinese, which makes things difficult.. but all the answers will require the user to be able to read some english anyways, so...
First: What did you do before the issue happened? Did you try to install the RUU? Were you going for s-off? What EXACTLY did you do before the issue.
Second: What happens when you turn on the phone while holding the down volume button? The feedback I see from people having this issue, it seems most are able to access the bootloader..
Third: Did you google "4 exclaimation marks htc"? There are a LOT of answers out there that may help you, and I have yet to find anything that says your device is bricked..
As this is the first time I have seen someone have your issue the most important question is "WHAT DID YOU DO BEFORE ISSUE".. so we can make sure people do NOT do that! The community can probably help if you can work around the language barrier a bit.

I'm still willing to help, especially when someone has a unique problem.. I think it would be helpful to know what he did before the issue happened, that would help more in troubleshooting or keeping the issue happening for others. This is the first time I've seen someone with this issue.

So if the message on the screen matches your problem, that must mean that you are like other members of recent. it means you don't know how to use this wonderful creation called a search and need to create pointless threads.
took me all of 5 seconds to do what you didn't do. I mean even if you had typed what you think the screen showed, the auto fill feature would have pointed you in the right direction too

thank you for responding, but i have been searching for days but i hadnt found this thread thanks a lot. and here is another problem: i have a folder named fastbood in c:/ which contains fastboot.exe, adbwinapi and adbwinusbapi.dll but in the cmd screen i failed to do what im supposed to do.
2: Located in the folder where the files are.
i dont know what that means
i guess i did it but it says waiting for device, so the computer doesnt recognize my device
You also need drivers.
All of that has been covered already. Did you search?

yes mate i have motorola device manager, as far as i know this the same thing right? just like samsung's kies
i really did tons of search but im almost hopeless. guys who have the same problem did solved it by just taking device to fastboot but mine is not going in that mode. when i plug the device its charger it says same problem and also says battery too low to flash. so im just gonna go and buy a new battery

now even if i have the necessary drivers (which come with motorola device manager) pc doesnt recognize my phone
also now my phone now says svf.... failed to boot... entering nflash recovery.... battery too low to flash and screen stays like this and phone gets heat (so we can say it's alive?)
The phone has been alive this whole time. I don't know why you said "hard brick" in the title, this has nothing to do with a hard brick. (Do you even know what a hardbrick is?)
You will need to charge the battery using another phone or an external charger. If you feel confident enough, you could try the trick where you strip a USB cable and connect the wires directly to the battery. (No idea what I'm talking about? Time to use search again.)

not hard brick? oh thank god, i said so because the phone does nothing
yeah i searched it before and its calldd factory cable, i havent done it yet but i tried usb jig which was a failure. no one owns an atrix around me, so i just need a external charger and right now im onto it
guys, i really appreciate your helps, im very glad to have you here thanks a lot. i will post here the results
man i told you, it's hard brick i guess.. because i charged the battery a bit then i opened the phone and the problem is the same again, it says entering nvflash recovery in about half a second screen goes black

Here is short explanation what hard brick is:
Hard bricks are more or likely that you won’t be able to fix it. If you get a hard brick, your phone will not be repaired, there will be absolutely no way to without sending it to the manufacturer. This could be from wiping the entire system without flashing a rom, no way into recovery and no way to get it back. This could be also caused from bad installation files, or turning off/removing the battery from your device during the first installation or boot up sequence. Sometimes you can fix a hard brick, but more often than not your device is going to be broken. This is a fix that is required by the manufacturer of the device. Honestly if you get this, it may just be simpler to go get the device replaced instead of even trying to fix it. HOWEVER make sure you go out and read about it, typing in the exact problem and doing lots of research for your specific device as there may be some hope for the device somewhere.

Exactly. try it with sudo, just in case (sudo is for run the command as root, with full privileges).
From there, you can go several ways

i typed just dmesg and there were several lines with words but nothing about the phone. lets say i found a jtag machine or whatever, can it recover my phone?

JTAG depends heavily on your ability to solder tiny surface mount components. Good luck.
hi all i have purchased the Lenovo Tab 2 A8-50F and i have tried everything to root it and cant find a custom recovery for it anywhere..
EDIT::: finally got it rooted with twrp go here for a full guide on how http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/root-twrp-lenovo-tab-2-a8-50f-mt8161-t3226130 enjoy
can anyone shed any light on the subject..
SPECS:
MODEL: Lenovo Tab 2 A8-50F
CPU: MT8161 QC 1.3ghz 64Bit
DISPLAY: 8inch 1280*800 IPS
MEMORY: LP-DDR3 1GB
STORAGE: 16GB
OS: Android 5.0.2
thanks in advance..
EDIT: i have found the source code here http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/tablets/a-series/a8-50-2/downloads/DS102968
if anyone is intrested in jumping on the boat with me and trying to get this rooted let me know..
UPDATE::::
here is how to unlock the bootloader>>> THIS WILL WIPE THE DEVICE TO FACTORY SETTINGS
first enable usb debugging and make sure oem unlock feature is enabled in developer options.
download the minimal adb (attached)... Extract to desktop or wherever and then run MINADB.exe
in the terminal type adb reboot bootloader you will be rebooted to a black screen which says Fastboot Mode....
now in the terminal type fastboot oem unlock
press the up volume button when asked and WAIT
when its done it will show a menu of boot modes dont do nothing and in the terminal just type fastboot reboot
bootloader is now unlocked.. i am still working on rooting i am trying to find a way to dump the recovery and boot partitions but its proving extra difficult due to permission problems..
I'm in the same boat. I tried everything. I don't think there's a method available for this device yet.
well i am working on it i have done alot of work on new devices and manually figured a root method out.. firstly i need to try and find the source code for our tablet then i can try to get an unsecure boot image then other things will follow on from it..
I believe the source code is on lenovo's website. Idk if that's what you're looking for. http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/pro...,_tablet,_workstation_and_thinkserver_support

yes for other devices.. and i am hoping to find a way on this device but first i need a way to get a custom recovery working on it.. mtk droid tools is a handy place to start and its the best i had it wont root it but it sent me here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38337401&postcount=5 which happens to be an intresting read..
I too read up on that forum, but I'm not that well versed in Android development lol
lol... well its not so straight forward being that our tablet has a mediatek 64BIT processor.. when i owned the htc desire 510 (uk) it was the first phone with 64bit architecture but i was part of the community that managed to get it rooted after some gruelling hard work.. bad news is that this tablet will probably take quite some time crack.. :/ but i am working on it and i will post any progress on rooting it here..

Any luck with this? so frustrating cant get it rooted, cheers
Same here. I have only had my Tab 2 A8-50F for about a week. I am really liking this tablet. For the price it preforms rather well. Only thing keeping me from making a solid decision to keep it is the lack of Root. If I can't root it I might have to start looking for another device
what is so special about this tablet that it wouldnt be able to be rooted? geez.
I am working on a root but its taking longer than normal being the device has 64bit architecture and our chipset is unsupported across most mediatech tools out there oh and the fact it runs lollipop... Instead of thinking there is something special about it try an help yourselves by testing what is already out there and remember most root tools get updated often so keep an eye on them an keep trying until I can come up with something... I am working on it but these things take time when you have a full time job and 2 children t look after... Happy testing an if you find anything you think may help post it here or pm me... ???
Just got this tablet today, updated it from 5.0.2 to 5.1.0
Good device although the latest OTA (Aug 15) has some UI issues/bugs:
Squashes apps in landscape (most evident with Material Design apps like Play Books, Drive)
Completely breaks Lollipops notification bar coloring, just remains Black or changes to White (Google Translate is a good example)
Strangely the Chromecast icon now shows up permanently in any app that has support, never did this before.
Also, I didn't notice before whilst on 5.0.2 but 5.1.0 now has a "OEM unlocking - Allow the bootloader to be unlocked" toggle in the Developer options menu, is this any use?

ok so i have bricked my device hahaha although i have found out how to get it into preloader mode and it shows in device manager as an MT65xx preloader so if someone could follow this guide and backup there boot and recovery images i would be very gratefull and by providing the rom dump i can get mine unbricked and also get root easily..
could someone please do this for me out of good spirit and to help get root who ever follows the guide successfully at the link below and can provide the files i need will get full credit when it comes to releasing root and recovery..
(you must unclip the back off the tablet and remove a metal plate to unplug the battery befopre putting it into preloader/meta mode..

Re-Opening Thread, this guide can be used for any new Samsung phone, not only Note 7...
Welcome everyone,
I hope you all are good, well maybe not if you're here because of your phone got bricked...
So many people seems eager to Root their new Samsung Device (including Me) and My Phone got bricked...
To All who have Bricked their Phones...
Here is How I fixed it... (I have only tried SmartSwitch, other methods are provided if you know how to use them and please do this at your own risk) :fingers-crossed:
***SamFirm Method - Deprecated
1. Go to Updato Samsung Firmwares... and search for your device ex:SM-P585 ...

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. Click on the desired firmware & write down the PDA, CSC, Phone and Product Code...
3. Download SamFirm from SamFirm...
4. Open Samfirm Enter device model, select manual & input the PDA, CSC, Phone and Product Code...
5. Click Download...
6. Open Odin and select AP and select the downloaded software image...
7. Enter Download Mode on your device...
8. Flash the Software Image...
Hopefully it would work... I'll Post screenshots Soon...
***Updato Method - UPDATE - It's the Best Way - Recommended - Sammobile Alternative
1. Go to Updato Samsung Firmwares... and search for your device ex:SM-N930 ...
2. Select & Download the software image...
3. Open Odin and select AP and select the downloaded software image...
4. Enter Download Mode on your device...
5. Flash the Software Image...
Hopefully it would work... I'll Post screenshots Soon...
***Sammobile Method - Not Recommended - Very slow Connection - Image Corruption chance High
1. Go to Sammobile Firmware... and search for your device ex: SM-N935 ...
2. Download the software image...
3. Open Odin and select AP and select the downloaded software image...
4. Enter Download Mode on your device...
5. Flash the Software Image...
Hopefully it would work... I'll Post screenshots Soon...
***SmartSwitch Method - No Longer Works
1. Go to Samsung Smart-Switch Here...
2. Download smart switch, open it and hit emergency recovery, then device initialization, enter "SM-XXXX" or whatever is after S_-____ and hit search...
In my case I put SM-N930FD, that's my Phone - Enter all CAPS ON...
3. Enter S/N on the back of the phone... Smart switch will try to fetch the ROM if available...
4. It will tell you that everything will be deleted and sign-out from google accounts... but you can't do anything so just proceed...
5. Then it will ask you to enter to the Download Mode or Odin Mode ( Vol Down + Home + Power ), continue ( Vol Up ) and connect your phone via USB to the PC...
6. Smart switch will start downloading the Image to Wipe the phone and reinstall the ROM again...
Unfortunately, I don't have a screenshot of this as I already have done all these steps... but it's nothing but a small window showing progress of download and install...
7. Leave the phone, Don't play with your PC... You can Pray or go do something good so that when you're back, the phone would be fresh as if you just bought it...
Unfortunately, I don't have a screenshot of this as I already have done all these steps... but it's nothing but a small window showing Device initialization complete, Hit OK and you're done...
It will take time but Hopefully, it fixes your phone as it did to mine...
Updates:
Update 16th Feb 2018:
SmartSwitch Method no longer works, Samsung has removed it...
Update 25th July 2017:
This is not related to Galaxy Note 7 anymore, it's a solution to any Samsung Phone...
Update 2nd October 2016:
User azzicles reported that in Odin you need to check update bootloader to succeed...
Great work putting this up together, But Should've posted in the guides section as this more of a guide rather than a Development thread.

Thank you,
I am still new to XDA and I wished to help those who bricked their phone...
When I bricked my phone, I was so sad that I'd have to wait for loooong time till I am able to fix it....
So I have done a bit of research if it's possible to do it through Samsung SmartSwitch,
after all when you boot your bricked phone it tells you use smartswitch or contact service center...
when I fixed my phone, I felt relieved and Wished to share my discovery to make those who bricked their phone relieved as well...
So I put the thread here...
If the admins see that the thread should be put in the Guides Section, then hopefully they'd tell me how to move it there...
Thank you for taking to time to post the solution.
Will this work with T-Mobile version? When I enter my S/N in SmartSwitch, it keeps erroring out when I click "search" and then SmartSwitch immediately closes... Any help, much appreciated!

SmartSwitch Works with All Samsung Note 7 Phones and it's the safest tool to unbrick your phone...
The thing I noticed about SmartSwitch is it's case sensitive and the S/N at the back of your phone is tricky to the eye as it's small and light reflected easily could make you input it wrongly...
Revise what you Entered, better write it on the paper and count the characters...
The only error it would display is something like "Your phone is not supported yet" or "phone software not available" if your input is correct...
As I understand, you are stuck at step 3...
Please let me know if you still have issues, I'll do my best to help you...
Does it fix your missing recovery?
And no offence, please do not use so much color fonts in the post. It makes your article so difficult to read. Some of the colored sentences are even not import.
Using just bold, underlying, red , will be ok.

None taken, The reason I use colors is to highlight the important words in my post or reply... :angel:
Anyway, It will wipe your phone clean and re-install the phone software ( Recovery + ROM + Partitions.... Anything that got corrupted but not Odin or download mode)
So yes it will fix the missing recovery & The Phone will be as if you have just bought it... :good:

when you input the S/N, it locates the phone region, it searches for the latest firmware and installs it... Not the exact firmware that originally came with the device,
if say 6.X.X update rolled out then smartswitch will install that instead of the 6.0.1...
Patch Updates are done through the phone, they don't change firmware version...
