Help With Completly Messed Up H830 - LG G5 Questions & Answers

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!

LG Tribute 5 | LS675 lgup error

Im trying to install the stock rom for my boost mobile lg tribute 5 but when i start lgup and begin the flash process. the program stops at 11% and throws out. Error:userdata unmount success. I have no idea what that is, and i cant continue any further my phone is stuck in download mode and i cant upgrade the firmware because of this userdata thing what the hell is that?
Can you get into the stock recovery? If you can perform a factory reset through that and try again. userdata partition might be missing.

Bricked T Mobile LG V10 ?

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! I'm In some kind of bootloop. I can access fastboot mode, and download mode.

I have the T mobile H901 Like just about everyone else. I got it with android 6.0 and I wanted to root it. Now i didn't really know what to do, so I tried following some guides on here. I got my bootloader unlocked, but TWRP would not install, and I kept getting some "unknown command" error. So I installed this via LGUP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/root-android-6-0-h901-t3382819
That gave me twrp, but I could no longer boot into system. From there I tried installing stock 6.0 .zip files, Installing .kdz files through LGUP, but nothing was working.
So then I tried this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/development/rom-v10h901v20estock-customized-t3360240
I installed the V10_H901_V20L_Update_P1.zip, then the V10_H901_V20J_Stock_Custom_2e_FULL-signed.zip both though TWRP 3.0, and followed the rest of the instructions until I got to: "Once in Fastboot type this command "fastboot oem unlock"" BUT my phone already WAS unlocked. So I (not really thinking) typed "fastboot oem lock" and then it said "erasing data" like it was supposed to. But after that, I can do longer get into my recovery, Boot to system, and If I don't enter fastboot OR download mode, It stays in a bootloop where it says: "boot verification fail!! - Cause : MISMATCH_SIG_LEN
Please if anyone could help I would be so happy.
EDIT: I should also mention that when I try and flash the stock 6.0 rom with LGUP (The "H90120e_00_0316") It gets to 9% and fails with the error: Error Code - 0x2000, TOT antirollback version is smaller than device version.
OK I fixed my phone by using LG Bridge firmware update while my phone was in download mode. The only problem is NOW I can't root. I hope someone can get a Nougat root working.

Working with some Korean friends on that now. No promises but early testing is progressing well. Hopefully it works for 20 & possibly 30

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.

Probably bricked LG V30, need some help

Hey there,
it seems like it's a very bad day for me. After some problems with my psyche, which is nothing new, i decided to flash a new ROM. This is what always makes me happy, try out new features and just messing arround with the system. Turns out, today i messed to much but i think it shouldn't... Here's what i did and happend (coming from RR 7.0):
-downloaded Superior OS from https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/post-t3909765
-downloaded the GAPPS package (first time with AROMA)
-moved both files to the SD-Card
-backed up my data, wiped system, dalvik, cache, data, internal storage
-installed the Superior OS zip
-installed the GAPPS zip
This is where it all got messy. The zip didn't finished, it stopped after 2 seconds and the H930 rebooted directly to recovery. There was no screen with the LG standard boot screen, it went straight to recovery. I rewiped everything and i got an error message which said: can't wipe data partition because device or resource is busy. I tried to repair it via wipe > advanced > selecting data > change or repair filesystem and tried to resize, repair and change file system. it always returns the error that it can't mount the partition. After the script, TWRP returns script succeeded, but fails to mount /data.
If i try to install RR 7.0, the script returns E3004: This package is for device : v30,joan,h930; this device is .
After all, i can't restore the backup i had from AOSP extended. I tried to flash the following two files TWRP-JOAN_H930_OPEN_EU-21w.zip and H93020R(TWRP).zip which started with the error E: Legacy property environment did not initialize succesfully. Properties may not be detected.
TWRP Version: 3.2.3-7
I would appreciate any help on this topic, even if i'm one of the xda profits who don't really gives a thank to the threads an just tries out until my devices work as i want them to do (i'm just honest). It's not because i don't appreciate the work of the dev's, they do really nice work which deffinetly is too much for myself to do. I'm just a messy person when it comes to interpersonal relationships. I'm sorry for my kind of awkward english, that's how i am...
I don't have a lot of knowledge about programming itself but i know how to use adb and fastboot, since i had some issues with my HTC one M7 on which i wasn't able to restore the IMEI due to too much messing arround. I think i started a thread about it, but i got it replaced even with a custom rom installed for free which will be my driver for the next couple days.
Kind regards
mrstupidus
I'm still new to this phone but, can you use LGUP to reinstall stock. Then just start over.

Thanks for the reply,
i would if I could access download mode (forgot to mention it), seems like i'm not able to since the device only boots to recovery, the LG V30 bootscreen never shows up.
It seems like my device data is corrupted or lost, since different scripts in TWRP report that I have no device number. Also if I shut down the device trough TWRP, it boots to TWRP again and makes no attempt to shut down. I haven't tried to access download mode, I had to go to bed for work today. I still have to go tomorrow but one night without sleep will be worth it.
As far as I remember I have a backup of my EFS lying around, I will try to flash it this evening. I'll keep you guys updated if I find a way to get my v30 working, since it could help others too.

Have you tried going into download mode manually with the hardware buttons?
Press and hold the Volume Up key on your LG V30.
While still holding this button connect your phone to the USB cord on your computer.
The download mode should now be displayed on your device.
You can release the Volume Up key and resume the update / downgrade operation.

You are going to have to have to flash boot and system via fastboot:
* Download the ROM you want to flash and extract it. It will have boot.img or boot.image ... boot.something (depends on the ROM), and system.SOMETHING.
* Open an elevated command prompt in the directory you extracted the ROM in.
* From TWRP choose reboot / bootloader. If it wants to be a PITA and reboot back to TWRP, then you will have to wait till the phone dies and then use the vol down + plug in the USB cable method
* In the command prompt type:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot boot boot.img
Obviously replace boot.img and system.img with the names of the boot and system files.
To solve your /data issue (and you might want to do this first actually):
While in TWRP
Code:
adb shell
umount /data
umount /sdcard
mkfs.ext2 /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata
Repeat those two umount, and that is umount NOT unmount, until you get an error. If it isn't unmounted, when you try to format it, mkfs.ext2 will throw an error.

Thanks a lot too for you're effort's, this really helped me out in a unecpected way
So here's what the issue was: a corrupted Gapps package. It failed to install and was still active in the recovery while the recovery "rebooted" (it just flashed off and started again with no normal boot between, kind of awkward to explain). The Phone itself never really rebooted into recovery, i have no idea how that happened. The /data partition was still in use from the Gapps script, but the script wasn't visible anymore and i was able to use the recovery as normal. So i ended up with an error everytime i tried to install a zip, restore a backup or wiping the /data partition.
Something i forgot yesterday in the spiral my mind was, forcing the phone to shut down via holding the power and volume down button. I then booted to recovery and i was able to wipe the /data partition. I then tried to install RR and the script suceeded with no error, then the Gapps package with AROMA and i was at the same point as yesterday. So forcing the phone to shut down and back to installing RR now without Gapps. I'm now going to install a .KDZ to start from the original firmware, so i can update the whole firmware and then moving on to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP and a rom with the working Gapps package i have
Thank's a lot for the help
Regards Simon
PS: I hope i will be more focused the next time i encounter issues with my phone and myself, this thread probably put's me in the place i deserve :silly:
That's crazy, I made the exact same mistake you did just now and I was just about stumped on what to do.
Thanks for saving me from a small panic attack, the Power + Vol (-) did the trick.

It'd be better if you provided the roms and versions you were using.
In between tho, try flashing the last US998 rom you used again but in refurbish mode instead of DL. I had an almost similar bootlooping issue last night and 2nd refurb flash got it to stop.

Why would you try to convert LS998 to H930? North America variant should only be cross flashed to other North America variants, when using LGUP. Through LGUP, you can't completely Frankenstein a North American phone to a non-North American phone and at the worst you will have a brick.
You need to read the Frankenstein instructions on how to convert LS998 to US998. You either didn't flash US998 Nougat first or you didn't do the Master Reset step in between Nougat and Oreo:
ChazzMatt said:
FRANKENSTEIN - CONVERTING ANY NORTH AMERICA V30/V30+ (except T-mobile H932) TO US998 OREO
SHORT VERSION:
1) Go into download mode (power off completely, then hold volume up button while plugging in USB cable)
2) THEN open patched LGUP and flash NOUGAT US998 to DL PARTITION. In the pop up box "Select All". Use the attached patched LGUP in this post.
3) Master Reset (post 101)
4) Flash Oreo US998 in LGUP UPGRADE MODE. (Make SURE you are choosing Oreo US998 and not accidentally re-flashing Nougat US998 again!)
(For bootloader unlock purposes, use the US998 KDZ versions with pre-July 2018 security patch: 20a or 20b. You can always update to newer US998 firmware later, AFTER bootloader is unlocked.)
5) DONE.
NOTE: For Canadian H933 to convert to US998, @cre4per says you have to use DL Partition for both stages (Nougat and Oreo KDZ)

Those instructions work for all North American variants -- except T-mobile H932 -- but were written specifically with screenshots while me personally doing Sprint LS998.

Refurbish has its uses. But to be honest I think you just didn't follow the Frankenstein directions. Master Reset stabilizes the bootlooping when flashing US998 Nougat before then flashing US998 Oreo. Has worked for everyone for over a year.
Unless the phone you got which you said was already Chinese Frankensteined was messed up due to whatever they did to it.

Honestly, i gots no idea how they did it and didn't really care at that point. Just needed to get the phone working again.
I actually did the master reset. Several times in fact. Never worked once. Longest it'd hold is for me to input wifi pw. It was the only other thing i could get to other than download mode.. I got the refurb step from either this or the WTF thread. Someone else had the same problem and refurb was their fix. Just so happens same for mine.. So, yeah..
I figured it out,but bricked that one lucky I have a spare and I didn't brick that one....but it wasn't de lg up our software. Through the process of reverting electricity went off in the process of flash and now is on black screen oh well
Is there a way to fix the bricked LG v30?
