Hello,
Last night I downloaded (from xda), and installed CM 10.1 on CWM 5.8.3.4...all seemed to go well, until I rebooted the system. Now my prime will not boot past the Eee Pad screen..I think it is because I didn't have a JB BL? But, I don't know how to get a JB BL.
I re-downloaded CM 9.1, and put it on m Micro SD card from my NOTE 2, but the Prime won't recognize the external SD in CWM.
How can I fix this?
Also, my PC will NOT recognize my prime at all, it doesn't even show up in the device manager...so I can do adb.
thanks!

You need access to fastboot and this is an easy fix.
Either try your prime in a different computer and see if you can get it to show up or it is possible that your cable is faulty and will need to get a new one off ebay.

Hold down power button and volume down for 10-15 seconds until you get to the screen where there are icons on it (wipe, usb icon etc)
Use volume down to go to the usb icon and then press volume up. It will say entering fastboot mode and freeze on your screen. This is normal and you are in fastboot mode. Now go to device manager and see if you have any devices there.

I just installed CWM Touch 5.8.1.8..now what must I do to get an OS back on here?
Thanks for your help too.....I never thought to try a new cord because the cord charged the prime fine...i figured it if the cord was bad it wouldn't even charge

Personally I wouldn't even use cwm on the prime. Can you please tell me what the numbers are up the top of the screen when you get to the screen with the icons. It will either start with a 9 or a 10. Also tell me where your nvidia logo is. Bottom center or bottom right when you turn it on.

what should I use? TWRP, or w/e its called haha...ill use either one, doesn't matter to me.
NVIDIA logo is bottom center
i have nothing on the device now...I wiped it clean...I actually got rid of CWM too..the only thing I can boot into is the bootloader now (with the USB symbol and WIPE DATA symbol)

You are on the ics bootloader at mo. Please take a look at this post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35419142&postcount=5
That will get you up to jellybean bootloader and jellybean twrp. Make sure if you flash Cyanogenmod afterwards you flash one based on jellybean bootloader. I don't think the official cm is on jb bootloader yet but the unofficial one is.

Okay, I am flashing the ICS TWRP...it seems like it may be "stuck" on the .bat file..it is just saying.... sending 'recover' (6340 kb)..it has been like this for 5 ish minutes now..
also, if it does install..how do I boot into TWRP? same as CWM?

That should only take a few seconds to flash. Once it works correctly you would go in the same way as CWM.
I don't like the fact that it has stuck mid flash tho.

It wouldn't go straight in. You would need to hold power and volume down and go in the way you would before.
there are also no numbers or anything up top when I re-boot..if I hold down power and vol- it goes straight into bootloader..no option to get into TWRP.

This isn't making much sense at the moment. The old way used to be to hold power and volume down and you would get a message saying press volume up within 5 seconds to get into recovery. The new way became that you had an icon in the same place as fastboot and wipe data that said rck and you would press up on that to get into recovery.
You are not even getting the press up to enter recovery any more before getting to the 2 icons ? I'm still a little bit worried about this flash failing earlier.
I have Sony Xperia Z2 with Cyanogenmod 12 20150305
I cannot boot into any recovery based applications, but the phones regular functions work fine.
I have tried with the phone off and the down and up volume buttons, I have tried with apps that reboot to recovery, I have tried with the advanced power button on CM, I have tried with adb reboot bootloader/recovery and I have tried by just trying to install an update from the CM Updater.
What do I do to get this into Recovery? Otherwise the phone is fine, but it now means I can never update the phone ever again which I am not happy about as this version of CM12 is not great.

Adb is android development bridge and it allows you to run commands from a computer. A command that may work is adb reboot recovery
Fastboot is a mode you can put your phone in to run commands from a computer. A command is fastboot boot recovery
Press camera button when led turns on when the phone boots.
All these methods assume you have working recovery. In the previously quoted thread, the last comment was a guy saying there is an issue with recovery in cm12.

If you can't get to fastboot your doing it wrong.
It sounds like your recovery is broken. I know how to fix your issue. It'll take 2 minutes. Here's a hint, iv already said it.

Normally I would get into fastboot by turning the phone off, turning it back on and then repeatedly pressing volume up when the purple light comes on. This does nothing and the phone just boots like normal. I have also tried holding power up, pressing it sooner, pressing it later, volume down, both, both and camera, camera... anything and everything.
Alternatively I would get to fastboot with fastboot.exe by the command fastboot reboot. All that does is turns the phone off, it never comes back on and my cmd is left saying < waiting for device > forever.
If I turn the phone back on after doing fastboot reboot, it just boots up like normal.

Ok so so all the above answers are....
... DRUM ROLL....
Wrong
You get into fastboot by turning you phone off, holding volume up(or down not sure from memory) and plugging a usb cable into your phone. The led light will stay blue and you can release the volume button. BTW the other end of the usb cable goes into a computer. Once you have successfully booted into fastboot you can run fastboot commands.
I think the only way you can recover now is restore the sony ftf, relock bootloader and unroot your device.
Sorry about the sarcasm, your just wasting everyone's time if you don't understand the basics.

This actually the correct way to get into Fastboot.
As o0 Matt 0o sugested read this for the basics.
The kernal CM uses doesnt have a good recovery like TWRP in it. If you can boot into to your ROM (CM) install this app and use it to install the recovery then you can boot into the recovery by "Turning the phone off, turning it back on and then repeatedly pressing volume up when the purple light comes on".

Ok good to know. By the way now you know how to booting flashmode. This is the other volume key to fastboot.
I hope you understand flashmode and fastboot now and how they differ from recovery. If you listened to me with an open mind last night, you could have fixed your problem I 2 minites.
I am 100 percent positive you could have fastboot a new recovery or kernel to fix your issue. You wouldn't have lost your data or anything and you'd be up again in about 2 mins.
Help yourself by learning the basics and understanding the key terms first. I think someone else also said I was right about fastboot.
alright guys, so here's the story. just yesterday i bought a brand new lg v10, got it home and the first thing i did was root the device and used ADB to load TWRP following the instructions here on SDA to a T for the ROOT/RECOVERY setup. and it worked. all was fine and dandy, the first time i booted into TWRP via ADB after root i got in, flashed a debloated ROM + xposed and again, everything went fine.. loaded into the OS of the new ROM, went through setup, turned on USB debugging, clicked always allow this computer, installed xposed app yadayadayada. I then, using ADB again, loaded into TWRP. i created a backup there just in case something went wrong with the changes i was about to make and once the backup was complete i loaded back in to the OS. at this point i thought i had done everything right and was confident that if i made system changes that didn't work out i could just flash the phone with TWRP from the backup i made. right? WRONG! ...apparently... so anyways, i made my first change, which was to use a NONROOT app called texdroider or whatever to change my DPI (as i have done with a couple phones previously without much issue) but i didn't take into account that stupid second screen... making the DPI changes system wide, as i'm sure those of you that know this phone are aware, causes the systemUI to crash with an error.. making the OS unusable.. so i tried to load into TWRP by holding the volume down and power button.. but instead it just booted me to the factory recovery.. not TWRP... the phone is unusable within the OS, i can't get the phone to connect to adb to boot into twrp as i had previously, i can't seem to get the phone into download mode, and i can't boot to TWRP and the OS is junk at this point.. but it DOES say on the "LG" screen that the bootloader is unlocked so i'm really hoping i'm not completely out of luck.. but i am not sure what to do at this point. does anyone here know of anything i can try to get into a custom recovery at this point? if i could get into TWRP my SD card in the phone has a backup, the original image, not to mention i could pull the SD card and add anything i need via my pc and then boot back to twrp etc etc and i would have no issue fixing the phone... i really don't understand what i did wrong or why i can't boot to my custom recovery but i'm at a loss.. i'm just looking for a way to force the phone into a custom recovery... or restore the original factory image.. if you have any advice at all i would really appreciate it.
Thanks for reading
**UPDATE** this may or may not make things much easier... but I got download mode working!! so at least there's that, still no custom recovery and i'm currently looking for a KDZ or TOT file to flash via lg flash tool... hopefully that makes things easier..
When you say you got to the factory recovery, what was that, an Android on its side or something asking you to factory reset your device? If it was the factory reset screen, if you select yes and then yes, it will take you to TWRP if you have it installed. If you don't it will factory reset your device.

To boot into recovery from power off, you hold volume down & power. When you see the LG logo release and press power while continuing to hold volume down. Then as said above, it come up as a factory reset, select yes each time, and it should boot into twrp, providing you installed it correctly.

it was a screen asking me to do a factory reset, i click yes, it asks to confirm, i click yes again and then it "successfully" factory resets my phone... it shows the android factory reset symbol that its resetting, then says that its "optimizing apps" and goes through that whole process.. but when it finally loads the "welcome" screen (so i know for a fact that some sort reset has taken place) i get the same "systemui has crashed" error and the OS is unusable and won't connect to my computer.. idk why i can't access TWRP.. i booted to it 3 times before this happened, though never by the hardware buttons on the phone.. everytime i booted to TWRP i had used ADB to boot to TWRP.. what makes me the most sad is that i have a nandroid backup on my SD card... but i can't flash it without recovery.. which i can't install on the phone without getting into the OS..
is there any way to install TWRP or even boot to a temporary TWRP so that i can do so? if i can flash my nandroid i'm saved.. if i can get into a custom recovery i'm saved.. if i can find a .kdz file to flash, i'm saved... if i can get my phone to be recognized by my computer/adb i'm saved.... there simply has to be a way to unbrick this phone...

well i seem to have somehow NOT installed TWRP correctly because it just proceeds to factory reset my phone.. which for some odd reason doesn't reset the DPI... leaving me stranded... is there any way to get ADB to see my device in its present state? my computer makes the device recognition noise when i enter download mode and i can see it in device manager but not my computer or ADB
I've had this phone just over 2 months but I'm not positive, is download mode the same as the bootloader on this device? If so, fastboot commands should work, and you can flash TWRP again, or do 'fastboot boot TWRP_filename' and it will boot TWRP temporarily.
Oh, and the factory reset just wipes your data, but otherwise doesn't restore your system to factory state. That's why your dpi change remained.

dude.. then what good is a factory reset?!? like seriously... and yeah, i tried that but i can't get adb to connect in download mode.. the device doesn't show up when I type "adb devices" like it did when i first rooted it. ... and i thought i followed the instructions exactly as it was laid out from this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/guide-how-to-root-lg-v10-easy-t3274699
i think somewhere in there i must have missed something and ended up only booting into twrp temporarily.. which is certainly possible since i never boot to twrp during that initial process from the hardware keys or soft keys.. always through adb.. the phone was already plugged in.. typing the command was a couple keys away..
is there anyway to get TWRP on to the phone now? or am i screwed :'(
Well, it is a factory restore for the average user, because the average person isn't modifying their system. But no, I'm sure you're not screwed. If you're in the bootloader you can't use adb, you're already past that step, so you can skip to the fastboot part. What happens when you type fastboot devices? If the phone shows up then you can either fastboot flash or boot TWRP..

No problem buddy, and sorry for the confusion. You want to be on the bootloader screen, so here is what you can do: turn the phone off(or remove the battery if you have to, and put it back in), plug the usb cable into the computer only(not phone), hold volume down on phone, plug the usb cable into the phone. That should get you into the bootloader, and then you should be able to fastboot flash or fastboot boot TWRP.
Waiting for a resolution to this thread!

I'm pretty sure others have come through this exact situation unharmed (I've pretty much read every thread here.) so it's only a matter of time before you get this figured out.
Here's hoping it's sooner than later.
Sorry I can't offer more besides encouragement!

from what screen should i be attempting this? hold volume up with phone off and plug in to computer to enter download mode? should i try it at the factory reset screen (volume down plus power)? those are the only two screens i seem to have access to.. in download mode my pc/adb just doesn't recognize the phone.. it doesn't show up as a proper device like it did before this whole thing and in that factory reset mode i get nothing.. the download mode seems like its built for LG and runs from different drivers because in device manager it shows up with an error code that it couldn't start the device (this was not the case when i was using adb to unlock the bootloader and then using the bootloader to boot to TWRP..) what am i missing?
and hey, thank you so very much for taking time out of your day to help me. I really do appreciate it.

No problem buddy, and sorry for the confusion. You want to be on the bootloader screen, so here is what you can do: turn the phone off(or remove the battery if you have to, and put it back in), plug the usb cable into the computer only(not phone), hold volume down on phone, plug the usb cable into the phone. That should get you into the bootloader, and then you should be able to fastboot flash or fastboot boot TWRP.

@ngoblirsch Along with the information provided in these suggestions and what you have said, you need to reinstall your LG/fastboot drivers on your PC while in fastboot mode

I spent all damn day yesterday trying to figure out how to get to the bootloader on this phone.. everything i read online said to hold volume down PLUS power while plugging it in and it was NOT working lmao. dude, thank you so much. after i read that comment here it took me about 30 seconds to connect to adb and boot to TWRP. This thread can be listed as RESOLVED!

Well I appreciate the encouragement, it sure seems to have helped! Issue has been resolved. ended up that i just didn't know the hardware key combination to get to the bootloader/fastboot mode without being already connected to adb. nothing that i could find online said to hold volume down while plugging it in to a computer. as soon as i was able to do so i connected to adb and it was a breeze from there; I am now back with an OS AND a customer recovery properly installed on the device!! I will be hanging around these forums for as long as i have this phone so i'm sure i'll bump into you guys! absolutely love the community here on XDA, you guys are freaking awesome!!

Glad you got it fixed, and welcome to the V10 device and forums!
Hey there,
I installed CM13 on my OP2 a few days ago and it worked fine.
Today I accidentally restarted my phone into the fastbootmode and wanted to exit. So I kept holding the power button.
Well, it shutted down. But I can't start it anymore. If it's not charging nothing happens by holding the power button. If the charging cable is plugged in, it vibrates after a while like usual and then the OnePlus Symbol appears for about half a second and then the phone dies again.
Can you guys help me out getting my phone up again?
By the way: I'm completely new with rooting, flashing & xda, so please help me if I've done anything wrong :angel:

Did you rebooted to Fastboot mode just after flashing the ROM or you were already on CM13? it's not possible that you brick your device just by enter in fastboot mode something happend but i'm sure there is a solution

I only rooted it for the installation of CyanogenMod. In the Developersettings, the root is deactivated.

The cmd says nothing. It skips a line and waits for a new input...
Before CM13 I was on OxygenOS 2.1.1 (not flashed)

Look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/general/assistance-solutions-tips-tricks-t3335469
Sounds like another case of stuck volume button, like other people that has had just this problem with stuck in fastboot.
hello,
I bought a CN version of gt, I unlocked the bootloader and changed the rom. Then I got again in twrp and pressed on reboot - then my phone bricked. It is not responding, and when I connect it to my pc, it connects and disconnects every 10 seconds while the cable still plugged in.
I don't know what to do, I spent 400$ on something that I can't use...
thanks.

You can reflash the rom with realme flash tool。（https://androidmtk.com/realme-flash-tool) ----Sorry for making a mistake earlier
Have you tried it?

Try to get into fastboot mode first . Your situation seems to be that the ADB driver is not fully installed
you can find it on google

try vol "down" +" power" button, if it'll go to recovery stable you can use adb commands
or
vol "up"+"down"+"power" (3 buttons in total) and when you see chinese letters just relesease them. if its succesful, you'll see bootloader menu

You probably only have EDL mode active. I think only MSM Download Tool will help you. However, but this is a paid service.
This is my opinion, but maybe someone more experienced should have a say.
Try to press three buttons (vol up- vol down- power) during 40 seconds aprox....
May only use 9008 mode.
I solved it. The only solution is to pay to someone who got msmtool.
This problem happens when you flash another rom through twrp on gt, it erases the recovery of the phone and then when the phone is trying to go to recovery it becomes bricked .
If you want to avoid it use the commands of adb and fastboot through the computer (not through the phone itself).
I paid 15$ to @hoangzk9 he solved the problem.
Big thanks.

As I know that realme gt dont public the flash tool so we need contact to the services to get they help.
Same with you, I have some problem when I tried to flash twrp to realme phone. No luck and my phone became hard brick. But you can send an email to eu services of realme, they can help without any paid.
Good to know.
