I really wish I had acquired root in a stable and reliable way but it looks like this is not going to happen for me on the P10 VTR-L09C432, so this post is about Resetting the phone.
After unsuccessful attempts to acquire root (I know Magisk is supposed to work, but it left me an unstable system), I had to restore the phone. TWRP Restore left me with a brick. I tried several unbricking methods (this Guide did not work for me), but the only one that worked for me is the one with HWOTA. In case this can help someone else who ends up in the same place, I thought I'd share my experience.
The method is outlined here but for reinforcement here are the basic steps and some extra details.
- You will need to download all three firmware files. I downloaded the latest ones for my version (VTR-L09C432). There are several ways to download these files, you can research that separately. In my case I used FirmwareFinderRewrite.exe from the "Firmware Finder" package but did not find that intuitive to use at all.
- These three files need to be renamed according to the naming convention in the article, and to be copied to a HWOTA folder on your SD card. For this, if you are bricked, you will probably need to remove the SD card from the phone, copy the files via PC, then reinsert the SD card into the phone.
- To reset the phone, there are two steps in HWOTA and one step in EMUI
- To run HWOTA, you run the update.bat file on your Windows machine (possibly as Admin, not sure)
- First step with HWOTA: you boot up your phone in Fastboot mode (connect USB, long press Volume down)
- Second step with HWOTA: boot up your phone in TWRP (unplug USB, Power until vibrate, then quickly press Vol Up then release power, keep holding Vol Up till TWRP appears), then plug in USB. To boot in TWRP you have to hold your breath just right, make sure to ask in the forum if you are not getting the key sequence right. For me, once I get the vibration from holding Power down, it takes probably about half a second at that stage to press Vol Up THEN release Power. You have to keep holding Vol Up.
- The EMUI step: once HWOTA has done its work and you reboot the phone, EMUI will offer to do a factory reset or a Wipe. I did the Wipe step first then the factory reset.
Good luck!
I didn't work for me, because one of the requiments was "bootloader has to be unlocked".
I finally tried this and it worked!!

I tried running the update.bat as admin, but just opens and closes automatically, I can´t even read what it says.
Hmm, how about locked bootloader and FRP? Will it work?

I'm afraid I made of hard bricked my note 3 ( yes I know this may be hard to do)... I tried installing clockwork mod and rooting my N900-Canadian Version. I am now a continuous loop in which my phone is trying to continuously go into boot mode not the actual startup screen. ODIN is not detecting it because it's not starting up. I cant put it into any other mode either. What do I do?

i think your device have been soft brick, just with boot loop or loop on recovery, if you use philz's recovery version, you can flash a zip file to resolve the end of this problem, i don't know what recovery version that you're using. Now, you must take your device return the time you begin with the tools like kdz tool, or flash tool on lg devices.

Thanks for the help.. It's was actually a soft brick then but now my device wont turn on. Can't enter recovery mode at all. It's a hard brick. I've seen a post where they explain how to perform an unbrick but I'm not sure if I need a specific debrick,img file for my N900w8 to mount on my micro SD card. Can you help me out?

Thanks a lot! I'd like to try doing it myself before I resort to sending it off somewhere. But if worst comes to worst I'll do that. There has got to be a way to fix this
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..

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?

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 pulling for you from the cheering section. (otherwise known as afraid to do it myself section!)
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!

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!!

Ok, I just want to know if my phone is hard bricked, or if I still have a chance...
I tried to install an update (121 to 170 for plk-l01) on my rooted phone, with local update. It didn't worked, twrp show errors everywhere, and after turning off know i can't access the recovery. when I press on vol+/- and power for 10-15 second, it vibrate but nothing else.
Is there anything I can do ? my phone isn't recognized by my computer, by the way...

Try to boot into fastboot (phone turned off - connect with data usb to the computer - vol down + power on). Extract rom which is currently installed or higher (for your respective model) and flash from it:
fastboot.exe flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot.exe flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot.exe flash cust CUST.img
fastboot.exe flash system SYSTEM.img
Reboot.

That is what my phone is doing, I tried to upgrade to marshmallow though with no root!! I put the zip in the dload folder and went through the upgrade process everything went through the phone rebooted and now its dead. Blank screen and if you hold power after a few seconds it will vibrate but that is it. I presume its hard bricked? no matter what combo of buttons I press I cannot get it in to fastboot.

ok I'm looking for a solution for hours now... so I just lokked how works our phone and I think the trouble must be in the preloader, because I can't even make my phone being recognized by any computer and I can't access to recovery.
I found this :
http://www.droidgyan.com/soft-brick-vs-hard-bricked-vs-broken/
Which could help. I'll leave that topic on for some days (if it could help someone) and I'll open a new one to know if there is any easier solution ! thanks and good luck.
I sorted mine, it was only 2 days old so I got it replaced by the shop I bought it on. I would say it was something like a pre loader from what I saw. I have never bricked an Android phone and I must have had 15-20 of them since my first HTC Magic and before that Windows Mobile which again I messed with tons reloading with all sorts of ROM's!! These phones are wayyyy too sensitive to being messed with, I always remember though that you never mess with the boot loaders, but it looks like these updates do to get it bricked to that point.

I just hard bricked my Honor 7 the same way. Is there really no solution? Other China-Phones are pretty much unbrickable, since you can always fix it via the preloader. No such luck here? Back to the shop and hope they actually replace it? While I admit it was stupid to just hastily start the OTA while having twrp and not stock recovery (no root, though), this is a terrible design flaw on Huaweis side.
Anyway... any hope or no chance?
i just hard bricked my honor 7 PLK-L01
it the same thing it is doing . not recognized by the computer
tried all the combination of buttons. but no hope

Need urgent help please
@Idiocrate try to boot into bootloader mode just by pressing Vol DOWN button and simultaneously connecting it to a PC, don't press Power button, if it boots into it, then follow the method given by @piskr in third post.
Hi.
Long story short I hard bricked my LG V30 (I never thought it would happen to me, lol). I have no access to TWERP, download mode or fastboot. I only get the "no command" message.
Reset button dance doesn't do anything except go to no command.
Is there any last resort or should I sell it for parts (as it's in perfect condition otherwise?)
It's the H931
Kind regards,
ZabbenW
You said that you have no access to recovery or download mode, but, just in case and before you do anything risky, verify that you've tried the following exactly:
To enter recovery:
1. Turn off the phone by holding down the power button for several seconds.
2. Hold down the Volume Down and power buttons simultaneously.
3. When the LG logo appears, release just the power button and then press and hold it again.
4. Continue holding both buttons until the "Factory data reset" menu appears.
5. Choose Yes twice. With TWRP installed, it will enter that rather than perform a factory reset.
To enter download mode:
1. Turn off the phone by holding down the power button for several seconds.
2. Hold down the Volume Up button.
3. While still holding it down, connect the phone to a Windows PC with a USB cable.
You can now run patched LGUP on your PC and flash a KDZ.

That's what you need to do. It's somewhat involved, but at least you're not risking anything: The phone is already bricked
Sorry, this is completely unrelated from the current topic but I reallly need help..I tried to flash a rom on my HTC but thr preloader got corrupted xo my phone go hard bricked. Pluging the phone into a computer just shows a red led and the computer shows nothing in device manager.
I tried uninstalling the MTK Preload VCOM driver and reinstalling it but that still didn't work.
Even pressing volume keys while connecting still gave nothing.
I also tried disconnecting the battery and reconnecting the phone to the computer but still nothing.
If there is anyone, please help me.....
I need to unbrick my phone................... I am begging, please help me.

This is a forum for the LG V30. You should look for help in whichever forum is for your HTC (or for the most similar model):

That's what you need to do. It's somewhat involved, but at least you're not risking anything: The phone is already bricked

Oh wow thanks so much!!!
Hi everyone, I followed this guide here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/v60-bootloader-unlock-and-magisk-root.4358785/ to root the phone with magisk. Everything went great up to the last point. I rebooted my device and I am currently stuck at fastboot mode as my device can't normally boot into stock rom I had before I tried to root it. Should I just flash stock rom on the device? How should I do that? I am still an amateur and can't figure it out by myself. My bootloader is unlocked. Any help would be much appreciated. Flashing backup boot images doesn't help.
Just put your device in the download mode. Here are the steps for you:
1. When you are in the fastboot mode, choose to turn off the device by scrolling though the options (via volume up/down key and then pressing the power button to select).
2. After the phone is off, keep the volume up key pressed and insert the USB cable into the device. Make sure the USB cable is attached to a computer before plugging it into the phone. This will put you in the download mode.
3. From there you flash the relevant firmware using LGUP.
The case is outdated, I managed to upload the firmware via LGUP
Hi everyone.
I have a similar problem. I wanted crossflash to EU.
When I was ripping and deleting the contents of the partition, the phone lost the usb connection and after reboot it fell into a loop. It does not report for usb and I can not turn it off. Is there anything else that can be done to save him? I erased the partitions FTM, Modem_A, Modem_B, SID_A, SID_B, OP_A - not OP_B.
I have a backup of them
I'm sorry, my english is bad.
You have two options depending on which one is available to you:
1. If you get into the QFIL then try to restore the deleted partitions. It is quite possible that other partitions have also got affected due to abrupt disconnection resulting from power failure.
2. Maybe you can get into the download mode. It will be tricky. Press and hold the volume down key and the power button till the phone restarts. Once it starts, press the volume up key and insert USB cable (that is already connected to a computer). Once there, re-flash the firmware.
Thank you for your help. I was able to start the phone in download mode and upload the firmware via LGUP.
Hello! I didn’t root anything, everything is stock. at some point phone just crashed and now it is stuck in boot loop. i was able to factory reset it, but nothing changed, it keeps rebooting. LV600AM
The problem, in your case, becomes complex because AT&T does not release firmware publicly (that you could just re-flash the phone with). How were you able to factory reset the V60 phone? Did you get into the settings menu and reset it from there?

i was able to use power/volume down feature to get into factory reset menu, wipee everything, but nothing changed. it just keeps rebooting till battery runs out
I hope someone here could share with you a full AT&T V60 partition dump. Failing which your only option is to have AT&T restore it for you.
