Finally bought my V30+ unlocked the bootloader, went to flash boombox and it didnt have connection to my VZW apn. So I went back to twrp and wanted to install DOT so I Wiped System/data/cache/dalvik and installed it, installed my gapps too. Upon doing this my phone turned off at the end of the gapps install and is only booting into twrp. Strait into twrp, only twrp. I do not have a back up to use, does someone? Does it work that way? Idk what to do I cant flash anything, as soon as I try the phone reboots. I cant mount data either. holding the volume down button does nothing when starting the phone it only goes into TWRP. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME, I was so excited today when I got my new phone, and now im here panicking.... Ive tried everything I can, I wish I could get into fastboot :'(
Wanted to mention that I cannot mount /data or /storage
Through a process of power cycling aroud 10 times, the phone rebooted to the LG Logo then bootloader unlocked screen then logo. Got fastboot back, booted into twrp, was able to access stock image. Flashing now.

If your on Verizon I would flash the vs996 rom in development. Just flash in twrp Have you tried to mount storage in twrp?
TOTALLY FIXED.
If anyone has this problem, make sure you hold the power and down button for a very long time, around like 20 secs is what I did. It was weird, no matter what I did I was stuck in TWRP. Im so glad the issue resolved, I was ready to kick the bucket too

Just read you will figure it out but if you want vzw visual voicemail or wifi calling I woud give that stock vzw rom a try. You can easily go back to us998 rom if that's what you have.

Yessir, up and running back on stock. I was heart broken and now I know I can get back if I ever screw up again lol. Def making a backup tho.
Its the US998, I really want to get BOOMBOX installed but for some reason could not connect to my apn (Verizon) when using this rom. Any idea why this would have happened?
Boom box isn't a Verizon specific rom.
Need to flash your modem files from your phone while it is working on stock ROM. Then edit APNs.

You're the man! I've tried everything else suggested for "unable to mount /data", this fixed it. I already tried formatting data to exfat then ext4, and power-cycling. Apparently twrp's "power off" button does not actually turn it off. After power cycling a few times with power button + volume down, my phone booted into a ROM I installed earlier.

I changed from an iPhone 4 in May to the Samsung Note. On my iPhone I would immediately jailbreak and install MyWi. In my research to do the same on the note I ran across a rooting tutorial for my device and followed the instructions http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-note-att-i717-root-without-increasing-flash-counter-61325/ (I am not positive, but I feel confident this is the one I followed). I installed Superuser and Titanium Backup, did a backup of ATT connection manager, then removed it. Tethering worked like a charm. This has worked and I had no issues until Friday June 14th.
On Friday, everytime I opened an app on my phone I would get a Force Close. I restarted the phone and watched as it repeatedly happened after every cycle. Believing that installing Droid VNC Server was the issue, the last app I had installed, I removed it successfully and included others I didn’t use. Upon reboot, I noticed the notification of App Updates and a missed call. Checked the application list and noticed that all of the apps I had just removed were still there. I have a ton of pics and videos and thought that I should back them up immediately before I deleted them, prepared for the worst. I was able to do that. I deleted them all, nothing in the gallery. When the phone crapped out again and rebooted, all apps and all pictures back.
I formatted the USB Storage, seemed to delete nothing and also showed the same amount of used space as before.
Time for a restore. I know now that the recovery partition is gone and so a Wipe/reset is fruitless. No problem. I know how to flash the rom. I used this method with Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330
Everything seemed to work successfully, but upon reboot I get the same app updates notification and the same missed call notification. The same frozen state my phone was in when the issue started on Friday. WTH!
I have everything backed up. How do I get back to stock? I could care less about the counter. I just want my phone to be usable again.

did you try wiping Catche and Dav?
Wipe Catch > Wife Davlik > Fix Permision, then reboot ..
see what happens ..
Not a noob, but here is where i am lost
I booted in to recovery, chose to Wipe/Erase . I see no option to Wipe Davlik except for in SuperUser and there it is a paid option, not sure where to find Fix Permission and then reboot?
I am assuming these are all options for CWM. I attempted to put CWM on an SD card last night and install from ZIP, but Recovery does not seem to see the SD card.
Are these options that are available for CWM, if so I will push through until I get it to work, but I have had no luck to this point.

no need to go back to stock .
try reflashing whichever ROM you desire...
its always wise to follow every little STEP given by the DEV .
to wipe dav you go to advance and it should be there..

I have attempted to Flash ROMs I don't desire just to move forward. They all flash and pass in Odin but on reboot I still have my default screen. Unfortunately, I want to go back to stock. I have done plenty of research and need something more to push on to the next thing. I am looking at phone and there is not an Advanced option in recovery. I have read there are options in CWM but I am looking at what I believe is the stock recovery options.

after you are rooted ,
you should have nothing to do with Odin.
and also, if you were stuck on your phone trying to boot up, chances are you keep downloading a bad ROM..
happen to me before..a ROM that was suposed to be 192MB,
would finish on 158MB
someone else may be able to help you get back to stock ROM..i havent had the chance to ever wanna go back to stock so i wouldnt know for sure.
sorry and good luck .

So, maybe I am a newb. I have followed the instructions to install CWM on my device and it even says it was successful. I am doing it from ODIN. See the file I downloaded here. Says it was successful but holding the volume up and then power button. NO CWM.
I am truly frustrated but I want my phone back. Can someone link me to the stupid people posts so I can get my phone working again?

You now have a custom recovery(according to Odin). The problem is, you're doing the wrong key combo as stated above. You can also go to the market and grab FJ's power tool. You can boot into recovery directly from the app. Good luck.

Still having issues. Here is the deal.
I have the phone in Download mode
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dnk6ekjqp9vddev/2012-06-19 19.40.01.jpg
I load the CWM Recovery in the PDA box. Start the flash, get a pass. All looks good to me.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5q4hayf35mm26wr/odin-success.PNG
I immediately attempt to access CWM Recovery by holding the power, vol+ and vol- and still get the default recovery
https://www.dropbox.com/s/d176blydonlvrlu/2012-06-19 20.13.42.jpg
I am so confused as to what I am doing wrong.
Unfortunately those pics aren't loading for me. Try again with the pic of recovery and the file you're flashing. Thanks. If you still have stock recovery then maybe that's what you're flashing in error.
Try volume up + down and power button. When phone vibrates, release power button but keep holding volume buttons until you are in cwm.
I would use Odin to flash cwm touch recovery from pda, then load a rom via cwm. Using that method you don't even need to root because it's all done at bootloader level and root is built in to the custom rom you flash

to enter download/odin mode from a power off state hold power and volume down. To get to a power off state, pull your battery.
If you can't get to odin mode...I have no idea how you can fix that.

If you can't get the phone to do ANYTHING. Not even odin or recovery modes. What other options would you expect there to be?
You can try to get it to do whatever it does when you press the power button while attached to your computer to see if you can get ADB to recognize the device. If so you could potentially force it to go into recovery.
I understand that but I still don't see why flahsing a wrong rom completely disabled the phone

Lol even if you don't understand, your phone still isn't going to work. If you can't get into Download Mode or Recovery, You can send it to get Jtag repaired at a number of places. This is signifcantly cheaper and they can unbrick your phone.

In you first post it sounds as if you did in fact wipe everything, including your then existing ROM. Best thing to have done at that point was to use adb to push a ROM to your phone, reboot back into recovery using adb and install the pushed ROM. Even if you wiped all content of any kind, you should be able to us adb to install factory img, stock ROM, etc.
P.S. all of the above is probably still an option- using adb to restore, get into bootloader etc.
Hi guys - I've been an intermediate rooter / tinkerer since the (HTC) G1 days, so I'm feeling very noob right now.
i have a stock rooted vs985 (Verizon G3) on 12b with TWRP recovery. I'd found a link that said Cloudy G3 was working with this version, so i tried installing it, unfortunately in the aroma installer I think I selected the int'l variant. Now, all my phone does is go to recovery. I've tried flashing other roms, restoring back ups, wiping everything and doing the same, no luck. I can get to TWRP and download mode, but I don't have a viable computer option to go the way of LG Flash Tool or the like.
Any options I can use ON my phone via TWRP?

Hopefully someone else will correct this if I'm wrong, but without a computer, no - I don't think there's anything you could do to fix that. Maybe you would be able to use a computer at the library, or use someone else's? You really need to flash the 12B KDZ, or 10B KDZ first if you want to root again after.
Sorry for the bad news, hopefully you or someone figures something out.

In the meantime, have you checked to see if it will still go into Download mode? With the phone off, press and hold the power button and while doing that, plug a USB cable that's already plugged into a (PC normally but maybe it can still be tested with a charger adapter?), plug it into the phone and the phone should turn on into Download mode. If so, then hopefully flashing the KDZ will sort it all out.

Hi all,
I recently got a new Axon 7 (A2017U) and wanted to root it just like my old G3. I tried following DrakenFX's instructions (Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/wip-axon-7-root-bootloader-unlokced-t3441204), but I got lost. I ended up with a password being requested at the android startup screen. In a panic, I clicked Format Data when I got back into TWRP, that made it worse and I went into EDL to see if that might help. Eventually I got back into TWRP and that's where I am now, desperately trying to get my new phone working again. All the threads I read only add another layer of confusion. Would someone be willing to walk me through the steps of fixing my phone? I really don't want to RMA/have $400 to go down the drain. I'd own you a big one.

Hi,
so you have access to the TWRP. Thats good. Do you have access to a stock ROM from your manufacturer? In case yes, you could simply flash the stock.
For this, the rom has to be on a SD card or on the internal memory of the phone.
In TWRP go to "Install", than navigate to the file and swipe to install (it comes a zip file).

I am far from being a pro. I once had the problem that I was caught in bootloop and could not install a new rom. But I was able to re-flash TWRP (via Minimal adb and fastboot) and than everything was fine.
Maybe someone else can comment on that. On your own risk...
