Bricked T Mobile LG V10 ? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello I'm new here . Here's my situation. I have the T mobile Lg V10 64GB. I was doing a update through LGUP. I was about 60% done when I lost usb connection and it failed. I went through the process again and it completed successfully or at least that's what it said. The phone now keeps booting into TWRP. I tried to format data at first got error can't mount cache also same result when trying to wipe cache, system ect. after formating data 3 times the error went away and was able to format data without errors as well as wiping Cache System ect. I can install roms via TWRP and they say completed successfully but after reboot its still booting into TWRP. I tried using stock TOT and KDZ files through download mode but get error 0x2000 TOT anti rollback version is smaller than device. I found a stock one with root and TWRP built in. This one does complete but phone still booting back to TWRP. I also tried to flash images through fastboot. but I get remote connection failed or something like that. I can use reboot boot loader and fastboot oem unlock and saiy bootloader is unlocked but all other commands return back remote connection failed. Please any suggestions would be appreciate. I brought this phone brand new 2 mths ago.

Help With Completly Messed Up H830

My H830 was rooted with recovery with Nougat 20c. I hit the notification for the new update by accident and didn't properly cancel out of the process. The result was a boot to recovery. Any attempt to reboot to system brought me back to recovery.
From recovery, I attempted to flash 20a, wiping the system partition before the flash in the attempt to install 20a clean. The system partition was wiped, but 20a did not install, though the flash came back with a success message. The system partition remained empty.
My next moves were attempts to use LGUP to load the 10d Root TOT file and the 10j stock rom. Both attempts failed at 10% in LGUP with the following error:
Error: Error Code = 0x2BC,
Invalid command response
code = 0x80000202
My phone is now stuck in Firmware Update, which is where it boots after removing the battery and restarting.
Is there any way to fix this, or did I make all the wrong moves leading me to brick that I need to pay off for the next 23 months?
Any help accepted.

Have you tried the most basic one: LG Bridge? It has error recovery something (which I used once for my H850)

If you can still get into twrp, you need to format data not wipe before booting into bootloader. I had the same problem on my H850 with Twrp recovery loops. From bootloader, use LG up to upgrade to 20a stock kdz.

LG Bridge did it. Repaired recovery with stock with the option you mentioned and it downloaded 20d. Brief scare with an "Error" screen on the phone at 80%, but it installed fine. Now I only have to downgrade to 20a and do Recowvery to get Root back.
Thanks!

TWRP errors when trying to restore boot - bricked phone

I've bricked my phone and am in need of help!
What I've done:
Unlocked bootloader with a code from DC-Unlocker then using minimal ADB and Fastboot to unlock
Flashed TWRP 3.1.1
Installed Magisk
Took TWRP backup - but I was unable to backup Data (I believe this was due to encryption - recovery.log shwed errors initially on Bluedorid files)
Wiped data with TWPR to try and do a factory reset
This is where my problems started and now I cant restore boot with TWPR the error is "No such file or directory"
I can ADB pull my recovery.log which says
Read info file, restore size is 12444160
Restoring 6 partitions...
Total restore size is 4512MB
I:Restore filename is: /external_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS/L5NDU17B18000539/Stock V7 2018-06-23--16-58-45/boot.emmc.win
I:Restore file system is: 'emmc'.
I:Restore file system is: 'emmc'.
Restoring Boot...
Error opening: '' (No such file or directory)​
I can restore OEM recovery and do a factory reset but it hangs at 99%
power down then it goes back to factory reset and goes to 100% - message "Reset Successful!"
but... then it gets stuck in a boot loop
I've tried downloading other stock ROMS and extracting and flashing images via fastboot (Boot, cust, product, recovery, system, vendor, version)
I've tried Huawei Multi-tool but I lack the Userdata.img disk image
I've tried flashing Resurrection Remix N v5.8.5 For Honor 9 (STF) but without success, although the TWRP install says it is successful and the vendor.img flashes fine.
I've tried extracting UPDATE.app files and putting them in sd_card/dload and then 3 button resetting
I've tried the above in external_sd/dload (not sure why - desperation)
I've tried looking on as many threads as I can find on XDA but with no luck
I can always get to fastboot, flash TWRP or OEM recovery, I can also run ADB commands via Putty (in command line they display strangely)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I am at a loss an quite frustrated, and have been working on this for maybe 15 hours now.:crying:
LOL, Stop your mumbo-jumbos.
I guess you'r still with nougat partitioning because you're using a pretty much outdated twrp.
So just dload flash a nougat 'service repair firmware' from the same region you're firmware is actually, and not any random update.app you 'made' yourself.
For this you'll need a micro-sdcard (or usb-otg) exfat formated :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/firmware-huawei-honor-9-stf-l09-stock-t3696892
Fixed!
Thank you, I think I even saw this thread but for some reason did not download the file, also the exfat formatting tip was excellent. I owe you a beer!
Can I always use this method to go back if I totally destroy things again even If I update to Oreo?

Unfortunatly, there only nougat 'service repair firmware' available publicly as far I know.
So, for now, you can only use this when on nougat.
When on oreo, you should use HuRUpdater with oreo's Twrp.
Or if you're oreo device is really messed badly, a paying app called DC-Phoenix then HuRUpdater.

Nokia 1 TA-1056 ROM issue

Hello everyone, after a long attempt at unlocking the bootloader i finally got it, i flashed TWRP and got a prompt for encryption password, and my password wasn't working and i also tried default_password,so i read that the format data option will decrypt the phone and people said wouldn't do anything to system, so i did it and now everytime i reboot it boots straight into recovery no matter what i try, it will also boot into fastboot, so i tried to find a stock ROM for TA-1056 but couldn't find it anywhere, the only the i found was a single ROM for the TA-1060, can anyone help? i really appreciate it!
Completely Bricked
Me too need a stock rom of ta 1056. Please help if you could manage to provide a helping hand... ?
I had the same issue like yours, looping in twrp. then i tried to flash it with a so called stock rom from net, guess what it went completely bricked and I donnow what to do. ??

It's simple. just get the stock recovery (and boot, optional) to flash it with fastboot and go to recovery and wipe it and you'll be ok.
and also using the twrp on this phone is not a great idea to wipe.
if you wanna wipe. please use "fastboot -w" to wipe the phone while bootloader is unlocked. or stock recovery to wipe.
Because twrp built this recovery with only formatting option was ext4 to /data and /cache. So the phone cannot operate properly. Which leads to fake failed decryption notification.
Data partition must need to be formatted under f2fs format.
And finding rom for this phone is pretty easy. Just find some nb0 file for this phone (any variant of this phone should work) and extract it with "nb0 extractor" and then flash it with SP Flash tool by mediatek.
That's my way. I don't know how will you do. But normally you only need the nb0 file and then flash it with OST LA (Nokia's flash tool based off Intel's SUT L1/L3 tool).
My Nokia 1 TA-1047 stuck at Nokia logo screen
Hi guys, sorry I'm newbie so after a long time surfing for solutions, I couldn't solve my own problem. That's why I come here to ask for your supports
Firstly I unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP and rooted my device and enjoyed it. But after decided to wipe (factory reset) this phone with TWRP, and my problem began...
1. I got stuck in TWRP loop booting. After that I tried to fastboot system.bin, cache.bin and recovery.bin from Stock Firmware but it still hung at Nokia logo booting
2. I still kept trying with SP Flash Tool, Miracle Box but there was still no hope:
- SP Flashtool v5_1548 gave me error: BROM ERROR: S_BROM_CMD_STARTCMD_FAIL (2005)
- Miracle Box 2.27A told me there was an error (i don't remember the code) occured in the location (i can't remember its code either)...
Anyone can solve it please help!!!! I love this phone much and as of now still suffering day by day since I can't do anything with it.
Kindly appreciate any suggestion and solution.
Thank you all!

So here's the thing. The rom you downloaded from internet (about 2 GB) or ripped from your phone and reflashing from flash tool will NOT WORK.
The first reason you can't flash the ROM was:
You got into flashing mode but you didn't do the right way so it failed the downloading DA for the phone. Try again and it should work (Don't go into fastboot mode)
2nd reason:
Because of the unsupported chip that MiracleBox read. It said the phone was 6573 or something while the phone chip is 6737M.
So the app will create the wrong version of the scatter for the phone. Leads to the flash tool app downloading the wrong command and Download Agent for the phone makes the phone can't be flashed.
You need to get the official nb0 file for this phone (TA-1060 or 66 should also works, mine was TA-1047. Since it's a universal ROM so any variant of the phone can also work) and then extract the ROM. Then you can get the scatter text file from that nb0 ROM and then flash it over flash tool (version 5 recommended, version 3 more likely not work).
Remember to look at line with partition "metadata" and then edit "boundary_check" to false.
PLUS:
If you flash it with your own dumped EMMC rom or flash it by dd-ing the partition in recovery will kinda work. But when you update the ROM over OTA (Google Play services's System Update app)
It will most likely bootlooped the phone when it's trying to verify the 2nd partition of the same recovery or kernel flashed into the phone (https://source.android.com/security/verifiedboot) and flash the updated one.)
So flashing from official ROM is mandatory.
And you can flash it over Intel's (Nokia modified) flash tool app SUTL3 (aka. OST LA) but I can't get it to work so you just stick with Flash Tool v5 from MediaTek and you'll be good.

The nb0 ROM (Security update around May 2018): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XqwEAGG7GMaspzV2J_yzCxnRei8zsOJd/view
(Source: https://romprovider.com/2018/09/nokia-1-ta-1060-firmware/)
nb0 extractor, requires java installed (If extracting hurts your hard disk performance aka. frozen or lag. Don't worry, It actually works, DON'T DO ANYTHING. It will notify you once it's done.): https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/tool-unpack-repack-nb0-rom-t3495091
Smart Phone Flash Tool from MediaTek: https://spflashtools.com/
My fixed scatter file that actually works from nb0 file: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1gRoADGHBm4vIAw3NeDyc_h9QWj12XUrC
And don't use twrp for wiping the phone. Use "fastboot -w" to wipe or use stock recovery.
TWRP will wipe the data parition but in ext4 format and make the phone bootlooped. We need f2fs in order to make the phone's /data partition run correctly. (Unless you know how to make the phone not having encryption flag when booting up every first time. Or modify TWRP to wipe the /data partition with make_f2fs and not make_ext4 app. Or using make_f2fs in recovery to directly wipe /data partition over terminal, the actual partition is in /dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.msdc0/by-name/userdata.)
Or you just do this (I'm not tested it yet): Google "twrp f2fs format"

Thanks for your comment. I have recently bought that version (TA-1047) and I see that is more complicated to root it securely than I thought… Your comment gave me hope to try it. So, could you please say me if it is posible to do it without breaking it? I will read your comment when I have more time but I thank you for it!
As I see there is only stock rom for TA-1060 version, but as you say it is posible to recover it in case of breaking it, isn't it?
Thanks. :fingers-crossed:

It's really easy to root the phone actually. Just unlock bootloader, install twrp recovery and install magisk.
And if you broke the phone's ROM. Just bring it to Nokia. Or flash it by yourself with the ROM I linked above by SP Flash Tool software.
Anyway the ROM is universal. So any variant of the phone can be flashed. (Proves that the elabel partition has 5 certifications images for 5 different models)
Just take sometime and read my words there.

Many thanks! At the moment I achieved to root it with twrp. OEM unlock > installed twrp > fastboot -w > magisk.
At the moment all is okey but I have not been able to unencrypt DATA partition (I have done fastboot -w, but with no success, I have not tried TWRP format because of your advice). That's the only point I can complain about.
I hope I do not have to use the stock rom to unbrick, but I have your advice if I do.
Thanks again!

That's weird. If you unlocked the bootloader and install adb/fastboot (must be latest version. Older version will not recognize the phone, download platform-tools from google dev site, don't download adb tools off XDA) + Nokia's driver from emulated CD drive (every time you plug the phone to computer with official rom, you'll see it) properly then it should be able to work.
You need to check the fastboot device driver Device Manager (devmgmt.msc) and see if the driver is properly installed yet.
You can only use "fastboot -w" once the bootloader is unlocked. And booting up the phone. It will say the bootloader is in Orange state.
You need to unlock oem bootloader from developer settings when the stock rom is there. And in fastboot too
Here is how you unlock it:
Enable oem unlock from dev settings
Then reboot to fastboot mode (bootloader)
Do this:
"fastboot oem key "serial number string converted to md5, not imei strings" "
"fastboot oem unlock"
Volume up
Then you are actually unlocked the bootloader.
Unlock from developer settings only will not do the trick. It only allows you to have ability unlock the bootloader in fastboot.
If you stuck on the Encryption unsuccessful screen. Try wipe it with stock recovery or "fastboot -w" (if you properly unlocked the bootloader)
If you think you can't do anything anymore. Just flash the ROM provided you above.
If you need the extracted ROM for SP flash tool and the fastboot driver. I can link it to you.
Most of all drivers will automatically install off Windows Update if you're on Windows 10 (except the fastboot driver, and yes. SP flash tool drivers are also provided by Windows 10 too)
Also. You should update the phone to the latest software update when flashing stock rom too. Because newer builds for this phone is compatible-friendly with GSI rom (Treble ROMs like AOSP Android 9 or 8.1 by phhusson)
Updates on Android 9/10

Nokia might harden the security of the device so you can't use Magisk on stock rom.

LG G5 (H850) unbricking

After successfully unlocking my device's bootloader, rooting and installing TWRP - by following this guide - I decided to flash LineageOS14.1 - or at least attempt to. I didn't flash the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip file, but everything seemed to be working OK, until I booted into LineageOS, where it demanded a password I've got no damn idea about (nor do I remember ever setting - hell, I had just disabled the secure startup option). Since I could actually browse my SD card, I tried rebooting into recovery, which didn't help, as did my attempt at flashing no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip regardless if I selected to keep the system write only (I assume because the DRM thing already got triggered?).
I then attempted to flash a KDZ file (it was either H85020D or H85020A from here) which gave me an error (I don't remember the exact code - I'll update later). And so I managed to get myself stuck on download mode. Pulling the battery doesn't help, Every time I try to use LGUP it comes back with the same error. I tried reflashing twrp and unlock.bin but I still can't get past download mode.

If you can get into TWRP still, I would try wiping the system and data. Then instead of LGUP, use uppercut (I'll link you to that if you need me to) to flash a KDZ to go back to stock

[Solved] Reinstall Stock on Huawei Mediapad M3 (All Partitions Wiped)

Hello,
I made a mistake when rooting the tablet (BTV-W09), I think related to using HiSuite to restore a backup which then basically left me without a working OS, since I needed to input an unlock code with no keyboard.
Long story short after trying many methods like "dload" via sdcard with firmware finder files or using HuRUUpdater via TWRP all I have right now is a completely clean tablet, no OS installed, all I can do is
1. Boot into fastboot but adb doesn't work I assume it only does when OS is installed, so this is completely useless for me. Also of course HiSuite doesn't recognize the tablet here or in any other mode whatsoever.
2. Boot into upgrade mode but it fails to flash UPDATE.APP from sdcard/dload. I'm using the same exact firmware I was using before this fiasco.
3. Boot into eRecovery but I don't get any options to factory reset, never did (and of course after wiping everything that's gone I guess if it ever could be enabled), I can only "download from internet" but it ALWAYS fails with getting package info error or something like that, apparently it's common for people to get this.
4. Boot into TWRP, but I cannot flash update.zip, it fails with "update package from zip failed"
I have the bootloader unlocked of course. And SDCard is working, 100% functional, no errors.
Is there any way to flash stock firmware on this thing or is it a paperweight now.
Thanks for you time
HuRuUpdater did the trick as explained here. Not sure if the NANDROID backup restore was necessary prior to that, probably yes as all the partitions were cleared.
