I flashed one ROM and the phone got bricked. The phone turns off immediately after shwoing the Mi logo.
Please help. I don't want to lose all the data on the storage!
I want to restore without wiping storage.//
I just flashed the global ROM on my Note 3 today(over a vendor ROM).
Just follow this tutorial: en . miui . com/thread-235865-1-1.html (the site seems to be down right now, hopefully it won't take long)
In the MiFlash program, right before you start the flash process, you'll have 3 options at the bottom: "flash all", "flash all except for storage", "flash all except data and storage". I guess you'll choose the 3rd one.
Good luck!
PS: When you get at the part when have to install the phone drived(around the middle of the tutorial) your device may already have the driver installed and you will not be able to find it in the Windows Devices Manager at the place shown in the tutorial. If this is the case, just jump over that step.

LG C800
Device will not enter fastboot.
Can't get into recovery mode.
Each time it boots it hard resets. There is an unofficial CWM Recovery Rom on this forum from chui101 which is for this exact phone, but I have as of yet not had any luck in getting the phone to take it.
So far i've tried Flash_image recovery.img (renamed chui's CWM recovery file to recovery.img)
Doesn't seem to matter what I do the phone starts(LG on screen), resets (the LG goes away for a sec then comes back), does a hard reset (a white box with an arrow pointing out of it an to a little android), again resets the phone one last time for a "normal" boot.
I've tried a few different things to try and flash anything overtop of the stock recovery but nothing works. It seems like very early in the bootstrap is a command to do a hard reset and anything that gets put in AFTER that command is ignored. (And the phone hard resets and anything else it was supposed to do is gone.)
Device is rooted with SuperSU.
Phone is fully functional except that it hard resets every boot, and if its plugged in when off it doesn't go to a charging screen, it starts the phone 100% up.
Adb devices CAN see the phone.
I CAN get into Download (sometimes called Emergency) mode.
"reboot recovery" doesn't do anything but reboot the phone as described above.
I can't afford a new phone guys, so I'm over a barrel at this point.
i'll pay whoever provides meaningful help in getting this thing fixed.
You should start fresh. So, flash the stock rom FTF of your phone, then the phone should boot up normally. Then you could either root it and install a CUSTOM recovery, or flash a pre-rooted custom kernel that already contains a recovery. From there, just flash the custom rom you want
Just press thanks if I helped, no need for money
stock rom FTF?
From the factory?
I'd love to do that. But am bewildered as to how when every guide I've found says use fastboot -- which doesn't work on my device. And every guide without fastboot thus far has not worked. I've been reading 10 hrs a day for the last 3 days looking for a solution to this.
If there was a way to completely wipe the entire phone and then install stock rom I'd be glad to do it.... I have found no such guide... only those to replace recovery. (not a 100% clearing as if it came right off the line with no software yet installed)
Additional information:
mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/recovery-from-boot.p-bak
Spits out a "No such file or directory" error
I don't know about you, but for Xperia Devices there is a PC software called Flashtool to flash stock roms and custom kernels and stuff from the PC. There should also be a software like that for your device. You just download the stock FTF for your phone (just type in google "download stock FTF for LG C800") and flash it in Flashmode that should be working
One more thing, this issue is not called bricked
press thanks if i helped
There is an LG tool but it says current software is up to date.
Other option is run recovery, which just reboots the phone as is.
No, this software I am talking about is not made by LG or Sony in my case. It should be a general tool for all LG devices. it should root, flash, install busybox, etc......

LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL ?
Thats the one that so far doesn't work.
the one named:
KDZ_FW_UPD_EN ?
He doesn't appear to support GSM phones. Plus I hit "Read info from phone" button... it gets almost everything -- correctly -- then crashes.
IT wants kdz files... looking for them now... chui has a dl link for the stock recovery but even though its a few mb it looks like only a zipped folder hierarchy with no files.
Slightly mis-read. still not finding any "generic" flashing software
trying octopus now....
crashed....
run as admin..... ah... you need their hardware which is hundreds of dollars...
Flash image gui, phone is not supported.
ok, a couple cyanogen dev's have both told me i'm screwed. Imma try for the rest of today and then just never turn it off again.
ok, paying lg to fix it... anybody guess what that will cost?
Try flashing CyanogenMod on your phone as no stock firmware is avaiable currently for your phone cyanogenmod shall fix the problem and you should boot normally (first flash CWM)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752704 - flashing cwm recovery (do it!)
Flashing cyanogenmod (requires usb debugging on)
First to put the cyanogenmod rom in the sdcard use adb push - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929

hi techmasta,
I'd love to flash cyanogenmod, but the phone never enters fastboot to flash anything. The first link you posted says to use fastboot. I can't do that. The phone doesn't goto fastboot, it runs its recovery first.
EDIT: if there is a way to force it while the phone is in download mode that could probably work.
secondly, I've spend more than 40 hours on this issue, mostly reading forums but still a great deal on google.
I'm pretty unhappy with google as neither of those droidnoob forums ever come up. And believe me, there isn't much out there referring to the lg c800 so they should have!
I rooted my Tmobile LG k330 using kingroot and then unistalled it and replaced it with superuser. A couple weeks after, my camera stopped working and I couldnt even access my gallery at first. Wait.. It gets better. My sms starts continually alerting me that it has stopped and I had to use titanium pro to freeze the app so it would stop flashing . Eventually I uninstalled it and installed a non stock version from the playstore. All well and good but I have tried every trick out there on how to get my camera to start working again but every technique out there never worked for me. First off, superuser stops working and says that I have no bootlaoder on my mobile and the site it sends me to is of no use and is confusing to figure out how I lost booloader in the first place. Back to my camera.. So it says that it is unable to work even with other playstore camera apps bc another app was using camera but no matter what forum advice out there tells me to do to find out what maliscious app could be the culprit and even through process of elemination tactics using safety mode I cant locate the real issue. My software update wont update. It goes to restart and as its almost half way through installing it reads error and freezes so that I cant even do a hard reset. Im at the end of my ropes and dont know what to do. No factory reset bc of uninstalled stock with no back up. Cant I somehow reinstall stock apps from lollipop through a particular site? I would would wipe everything on my mobile just to return it to its original function. Is there a way to flash an LG Software system with the same original bootloader and stock apps thatI originally had on my phone
Hello, Damian0402.
I do not know what to say in regards to the camera / SMS suddenly not functioning. I'd assume that means you tampered with them or perhaps something else you installed tampered with them at some point (although that's moot at this point and really no sense in discussing it, unless it happens again).
Flashing the phone to factory stock:
I'd suggest you visit this link, download the image for your phone ("K330" f / h / i / j / k / L -- Which?): https://mega.nz/#F!sdwRDLbZ!yPOiRPv5QJS_9I4hzL4ptQ!YBRwWazA
You need to look up exactly what K330 image you need to flash with. I use MetroPCS and is listed as "m" in the software under "About" in my phone, but I actually run the "MS330 10i" shown in that website. Try Googling everything about your device.
Tool to use:
I can not say beyond a doubt that this will function with a T-Mobile version, but I have no reason to doubt it!
You can use the "LG UP" software to flash the stock ROM firmware (found at that link; The KDZ file is ~1GB or more).
You'll want to download the Lab v1.10 version of LG UP: https://www.mylgphones.com/download-lg-up-software
On the right panel, you'll see "LG USB drivers" hyperlink. This'll ensure you have the proper drivers.
Initiating "download mode":
Power down your device completely. Press and hold the "VOLUME UP" key; While holding the VOLUME UP KEY: Insert the USB cable (it should already be attached to the PC).
The phone will automatically power on and the "DOWNLOAD MODE" image should appear, nearly instantly. After this appears: Release the VOLUME UP key.
You should be able to place the phone down and run the LG UP software. You need to select "UPGRADE" (not "refurbished"), then locate the KDZ file (bottom right corner of the program is a vertical "3-dot" image; Used to navigate to your *.kdz file).
Merely hit "START" and wait about ~300s (~5m). The phone will reboot itself. You can exit the program at this point by pressing "Exit."
That's all.
Regarding Kingroot / Kingoroot:
I'm not entirely sure I trust those "one-click-root" programs. There's nothing harmful about them, however: You should be informed that you can root your own phone WITHOUT those programs!
Tools you'll need and use:
TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project)
SuperSU (SuperUser; The same type program Kingroot/KingOroot install)
ADB (Android Debug-bridge -- Which Kingroot uses remotely I suspect)
This is a thread I wrote last night; I use the MetroPCS variant, but the steps are identical: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k7/how-to/guide-lg-k7-ms330-concise-tutorial-t3722050
You should be able to use the TWRP listed in the forum post (LG K7 (M1)). You might want to NOT erase/flash recovery partition first. Just live-boot it. If it works: Great! Decide if you want to flash it.
I hope this solves your issues! Also: TWRP / ADB can be used to create a FULL backup directly on your PC without using the phone's internal memory or external memory at all. Which is awesome if you have an 8GB (uncompressed) backup file to make.
My two cents: Rooting the phone yourself with ADB/TWRP/SuperSU is a very fun, interactive and easy process!
Hi all, I am stuck.
I got my Mate 10 Pro (BLA-L29) and wanted to install LinageOS 15. I followed the guide here, rooting and everything went fine. I installed LinageOS 15, the most current build then, via fastboot flash system systemXXX.img. The process went well, the phone rebooted. But since then its stuck in eRecovery Mode. It offered me the "factory wipe" option on the first time, since then I get the options of Rescue (which times out or can't find the files), Shutdown and reboot. It also shows a "this device is not to be trusted" splashscreen during boot, including a link that leads to a 404 on the EMUI-OS-Site. Sorry if that has been asked already i did not find much regarding eRecovery.
I managed to install TWRP, but strangely it still boots into eRecovery. I can force it to boot into TWRP, but it simply will not switch away from eRecovery.
So, what are my options?
1) wait and see, try new versions of LinageOS.
2) use the firmware finder to get the original firmware (any pointers about which one? I'd go for the earliest 8.0 for the BLA-L29?) But how can I get it to the phone since its not an image and the phone does not have a SD-Card? Can I mount it via USB?
3) Get rid of eRecovery or force a switch to TWRP - is that doable?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I did a lot of custom firmware back when I had the first Desire, but since then I used Blackberry or other, non-rooted devices. I want my control over my OS back.
Thank you in advance, let me know if you need any more information.
Ok, if anyone else needs help:
This helped me, I got back to the Mate 10 Pro Stock ROM
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/root-updates-rebranding-unbricking-t3701970
Important: after flashing, you need to remove the USB-cable, otherwise it will just boot into recovery
I wanted to sign in to Snapchat but apparently, that doesn't work if you have root.
I then uninstalled the Xposed Framework and ignored it saying I should wipe dalvik cache (I now know that's stupid but I don't have a recovery or some option to do that rn)
Next, I went to SuperSu and did the full unroot.
After that I was told to reboot and now I'm stuck at the picture you always see before the bootanimation starts.
I'm looking for something like Titanium Back to get really everything saved and from there on make my phone boot again, stock rom is good enough.
I have access to a Windows PC which doesn't recognize my phone via USB, a big enough SD Card.
However, I don't have a custom recovery installed and when I try going to the stock recovery, it just says "No Command".
If I boot into fastboot, the phone acts as if everything was the way it should be while my PC still doesn't recognize it
Also, I can't remove the battery on this phone but making it go empty doesn't help either.
We´re talkting about my Umidigi Crystal 2/16 Version <-- The 2/16 is a different version!!
And it was running stock rom which was Android Nougat.
I´m not that experienced whith these things, you might have guessed it.
Thank you for any help though.
Hello, I am new here and I made a huge mistake!
I purchased Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (LTE) literarally 1-2 days ago and I wanted to root it, I had my smart phone rooted which did not have Knox protections, it was as straight forward as flashing TWRP and use Magisk via instructions I followed.
I make use of "Root" privileges a lot when using my device, I find it very important to my daily life so I decided to risk rooting it, after doing so my tablet was showing 2 errors, that its not using official samsung software and that the boot loader is unlocked, when I unlocked the boot loader using OEM Unlock everything went fine, the option was greyed out and checked afterwards.
During the boot process, it reboots 2 times and it shows a integrity error, integrity and some very long number, I am assuming its a integrity check? I have the exact matching firmware, so I flashed back the stock firmware and... the "not using official samsung software" warning disappeared, it boots me into recovery mode, I choose "reboot" and the device goes to boot looping with the same error.
I was following this tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s6-lite/how-to/howto-unlock-root-galaxy-tab-s6-lite-t4132289
But there are some things I skipped, here the exact steps I took:
Unlocking Boot Loader:
Followed all the steps from 1 to 4 but I skipped the 5th step entirely, the step where it asks you to mess with firmware date and twrp, I did none of that, I will mention that when I was looking for stock firmware to download before doing anything, I was not able to understand the CSC so I didn't know which firmware to exactly use until a software update came up which told me the exact firmware, I accepted the update and download that stock firmware, because my firmware was updated I didn't think that following the few steps of the step 5 would've done everything as I was already off the path.
I didn't do the 6th step as I just checked of the OEM Unlock is greyed out and still checked in the "developer options" section, I assumed that it was a success, not to mention the boot loader unlocked warning that was showing up and yes, all the data was erased and was forced to go through the setup process again as expected.
Root the tablet:
1. I have downloaded the firmware as it says not just for the purpose of rooting, the firmware that the software update told me about, this is the firmware I downloaded, the firmware is a exact match, everything is matching: https://samfrew.com/download/Galaxy__Tab__S6__Lite__-LTE-__/xs5l/SEB/P615XXU3BTI3/P615OXM3BTI3/
2. I follow all the steps from 2 to 11 from here.
3. When I reached step 12, I went to download mode and I look for any messages regarding it only allowing for official samsung images, but I saw no such message, didn't really pay attention to anything else, I just glossed over things, considering there was no such message I assumed that KG/RMM state was good, don't know what it was but it might not have been "prenormal" because there was no message regarding official samsung images, from here I falshed the boot.tar file like in the instructions, that lead me to my current problem I mentioned at the very start of this post.
4. There was no step 13 as I can't boot into android due to "integrity" error I have, right now I have my tablet turned off (thank god I can do that) via the recovery that shows up after flashing stock firmware.
Addition Info:
1. I don't have any data to lose, if I need to do a factory reset or something of that sort, I have no problems doing that.
2. As I mentioned at top, I do have a stock firmware downloaded from this link here: https://samfrew.com/download/Galaxy__Tab__S6__Lite__-LTE-__/xs5l/SEB/P615XXU3BTI3/P615OXM3BTI3/
3. The tablet is: SM-P615 (Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (LTE), I bought the LTE so I could use it as my phone)
4. At the download mode, the OEM (Boot Loader) state is set to NO and the FFS (I don't remember if its FFS exactly at the moment, something FF I believe, I don't want to turn on my tablet at the moment) was set to NO.
5. The KG (No RMM mention that I could see anywhere) state is showing up as "Checking..."
What do I need to do to fix my tablet? do I need to wait for 7 days? if so how do I do so, like does leaving my tablet off count or not?
PS: I am a self-thought experienced low-level windows programmer, I've been doing programming for over 10 years now, never have worked with Android development but I can attempt to build something from source if necesarry, I know very little about Linux OS as I purely work with Windows and use Windows for everything including servers.
I have done some research regarding that "integrity" error and I can't find any screenshot in google images that matches how it looks on my screen, but there are a lot of them quite similar to it, which basically says "verification failed, factory data reset your phone", in my case I don't have that message, it just says "integrity", but when the boot looping stops and shows that failure I do have 3 options, "try again" and "Factory data reset" and the 3th one I don't remember, I am suspecting that this could be my problem! I believe the samsung just changed the way that particular message is shown (visual change), so I just need a factory data reset and it will work, most likely with the rooted boot.img file! I will attempt this after a few hours of this reply, I may have panicked too early.
The issue has been fixed
Well this is surprising, I was about to do the factory reset but before doing so I decided to flash the same magisk patched boot.img file, when I flashed I saw seeing those 2 warning messages as expected, I was expecting for it to fail after 2 boot loops so I can do the factory reset as intended but on the 3th boot loop the tablet booted up! I was brought at the android setup screen, once I was done with that I checked the OEM Unlock, it was still checked and greyed out, downloaded Magisk Manager and to my surprised it worked! Magisk Root latest version is installed and working, it asked me to allow magisk do some "additional setup", the tablet booted up perfectly fine after that "additional setup", I check root privileges using "Root Checker" and it worked, I have root privileges! I most likely have panicked too soon, sorry for wasting your time! Hopefully this post will be useful to someone in the future looking to root their tablet.
My assumption of what happened: When I flashed the stock firmware AP a second time so I can turn off my tablet, it most likely did a factory reset without me knowing, so when I flashed magisk again before letting it try boot up again, the tablet booted perfectly fine because factory reset has already occured, which brought me to the android setup screen.
