I hit a wall with this issue. After rooting and trying to install a new rom, I am getting the security error on the LG logo. I can access updater with vol+ and insert usb, but I am stuck on how to restore anything or access boot menu. Any suggestions? The computer no longer seems to be able to access the phone as a device via command prompt.
Thanks in advance!

I searched but could not decipher a clear way to fix the problem. This is what I did to fix it.
Open LG Mobile Update (Make sure you have internet on)
Input MEID (located behind battery)
Connect phone to computer via USB in S/W upgrade mode (Vol+ then insert USB)
Let LG download and install phone recovery
NOTE: Recovery stopped at 4% install, but just leave it alone, and it will install correctly. It never went past 4%
NOTE: This will return your phone to factory settings like the day you got it, so you will have to re-root if you use this method.
There may be a way to fix this without losing root, but this was the only way I could figure out.

It depends on your internet connection. The process should take about 1 to 3 hours.

My LG mobile updater stops just at the end of "checking phone settings" the bar at the bottom shows anywhere from 10 to 15 seconds and stops counting. I never see a %. Is it doing anything?

Do you have a download link for the updater that asks for the IMEI? My LG Mobile Updater only asks for phone model.
Also, am I supposed to be doing a regular software update or "upgrade recovery" option?

bro make sure you have unlocked bootloader if you haven't
check the android development forum you will get scripts to put phone in fastboot.
unlock the bootloader
flash CWM recovery
download nanadroid back up for your phone model. from general section.
copy it to ext sdcard, and restore your phone via cwm reovery.
LG's flashing software is just pain to use. use CWM to restore your L9/

Connect the phone without battery to computer and install fast boot drivers for omap chipset. Again check the dev section " how to install fast boot drivers"
Unlock the darn boot loader
Flash CWM recovery
Restore via nandroid back .
Offline flash method is bit completed and may not work every time
After trying to restore a nandroid backup via CWM, phone is hard-bricked. Sent to service, where they changed (mother)board.
Just for those, who lost their faith (in LG9) - when you see 'security error' on each boot (like I saw yesterday) after flashing CWM on not unlocked bootloader and, after stock ROM flashing, you see dead android with exclamation heart outside - it is normal, and it is still OK - thanks to bootloader being locked
- u can use any good method to flash stock ROM back - I have used this program combined with official LG Mobile Supprt Tool
- I have turned phone off (by battery removing for a moment)
- kept Volume up pressed when connecting to USB - I had no message that any phone is connected - I didn't bother
- flashed stock (20o in my case)
- saw 'dead' android with its exclamation heart outside - bothered for a moment
- removed battery to restart phone
- I have found that all is working :laugh: back
- rooted with Kingo in a minute
- then a step u can omit - I passed the whole procedure again, as I'm faster then smarter
All done with W8/64-bit and my 10cm nokia usb cable, which I found the best in flashing when some longer or 'filtered' cables do not see the phone
I recently switched phones(both same model optimus fuel due to loose heaphone connection) long story short all my info is on 1st phone(important texts/phone numbers) I only have one battery to share between the two phones(wasn't huge deal!) I could just put battery back in my old phone if I needed info from an old text ect! today I put battery back in and tried to turn it on all it does is blink on and off the screen with Lg logo and security error comes up(won't go anywhere else??) can't understand how all of a sudden this happened sitting around with no battery in it nor was it jarred gotten wet ect?? any help appreciated call or text me at(814)493-7199 Jim thanks

Can someone answer what flashing does NOT mean.
1) It does NOT wipe your user data, correct?
2) It means fix the OS to make the phone start up (without affecting user data), correct?
3) I see people give advice to flash or use S/w recovery tool. But I need confirmation that it doesnt factory wipe or delete user data.
4) Or please tell me what method I should do to preserve the internal SD card, or harvest it, or if there is a way to connect the cord in a certain [phone mode] so I can download the data from a phone that wont start (logo loop).
Thanks.
Oh, you cited me and if u mean LG L9 - I do not remember exactly now, it was a short adventure. There is no general answer to your questions 1 - 3, it depends on the data organization in the system. As far as I remember it was OK for the given procedure, but not for sure . maybe someone else can help. And good but too late for you advice is to make copies of all important data and settings before u try to change anything in your system.

I flashed LCA43 with adb sideload eefea3292b364b67db746dc4131713605b8e8f76.signed-platina-LCA43-from-LDZ22D.eefea329.zip and everything wents very well.
Now I am in tests and tomorrow I leave a feed-back of the new version.
Thanks.
I download Bits Watch Face from Play Store and I am testing with the new Android Wear LCA43.
For first impression Bits Watch Face is awsome, I like it, very cool.
What was your flash-process?
Unlocked/locked Bootloader? Stock Firmware?
My adb sideload command always breaks things at 61% with an "Installation Aborted" (Error 7) when it is verifying the Image.
Thanks for your help
My flash process is adb sideload eefea3292b364b67db746dc4131713605b8e8f76.signed-platina-LCA43-from-LDZ22D.eefea329.zip
Previously I am in pure stock with locked bootloader, and I flash the new LCA43 with windows 10.
When I flashed it stops two or three minutes in 61% than I continues to 100% without any breaks.
I think you must wait at 61% until process continues.
Try flashing it with another usb port for example.
FYI
The old technique of forcing an ota update still works for a stock watch: Make sure you have the latest android wear app.
1. Reset the watch from settings
2. On the phone, erase the data from the android wear app.
3. Connect the watch to the app
After the watch syncs, it will ask if you want to update.
I have tried, flashing stock and sideloading, no dice, reflashing stock and locking bootloader then sideloading, again no dice, unlocking flashong stock once more relocking and trying ota, nothing flashes when ota tries to flash the lint gets to 15-25% theb flips to the dead Android for around 30-60 seconds before rebooting.
i tried multiple cables, pcs and operating systems (win7-10 linux Ubuntu and debian) and multiple downloads from seperate sources, nothing seems to want to give me this update..
Any help would be appreciated

Thank you,it works
I have the new Android Wear 1.3 flashed at 28 hours ago and for now i am loving the new faces, and i like the battery optimization, in my case it consumes only 0.89% battery in one hour.
I have the screen off and micro off with an application.
LG G Watch have a new stable upgrade in my opinion.
Hi. What do you mean by micro off ?
Do you also keep fit off ?

Did for me right now too. Maybe try to boot into recovery mode and flash it via ADB sideload.
For the user that ask me I mute the mic with an apk "mute wear mic" that I download, I think that is free.
I upgrade my to 1.3 with adb sideload command and it work at the first shoot.
I have also ended up with the dead android and tried both sideloading and the regular installing from watch. Tried with restoring the watch to stock and locked the bootloader but I am still ending up with a dead Android image then reboot..

Yeah, it's weird. It's like I've lost recovery. I have flashed back to stock, locked the bootloader and try to go to recovery, dead android. unlocked bootloader, try to go to recovery from bootloader... dead android. I have used the restore tool to push recovery image on, everything says it went fine, try any method to get to recovery...dead android. I was able to flash the Mysterious Magic rom back on via his script with no issues, so not sure where the disconnect is, but for now I will stick with the rom since the battery life is great with that.
I've tried everything with no luck, LCA43 doesn't want to be installed on my watch.
I got the OTA, but when I press install it start installing until more or less the middle of the progress bar and then I get a dead android. I downloaded the OTA to do a sideload but it gets aborted at 61%. I formatted all the partitions and flashed the official images of LDZ22D, then tried both methods, with the same result.
Does anyone have the link to the official img? Because the OTA doesn't seem to work for me.

It's not "aborted" at 61% (or does it say Aborted?), only takes a long freaking time till it hits 100% from then on. Just wait 5 minutes or so once you see 61% on your CMD window.
Also I posted the update in a separate thread here, I think under General.

If I boot into recovery, I get the dead android, and ADB can't see my device when this happens, so I can't sideload your update file, so I tried installing TWRP recovery and installing that file from there, but it fails straight away from TWRP.
How did you get ADB to see you device when you have the dead android showing?
Thank you =)
Is there any way to make the ota flashable through twrp?

Boot into bootloader, select recovery there, once the screen turns to the LG logo instantly swipe from left upper to right lower corner as fast and often as you can, after a few seconds you should see a menu on the stock recovery screen. Then select the adb sideload option and send it from your PC via "adb sideload zipnamegoeshere.zip"

No luck, tried it, booted into the bootloader, selected recovery and once the screen turned to the LG logo, I swipe from left upper to right lower corner as fast and often as I could, went again into the dead android screen and ADB still unable to see the device.
Isn't the swipe from upper left to lower right, to boot into the bootloader? I can do that, but whilst booting into recovery, from the bootloader, it just goes to the dead android.
Also tried to do a factory reset to the watch, cleared the data of the Android App on the phone, connected the watch and update fails when the progress bar is at about 20%
if any one could get their hands into the full ROM file, that would be awesome.
Any other ideas are welcome =)

Pls help me root my zte obsidian running android 5.1 Model NO. Z820

yeah same issue here all say that it cant after like 10-15 mins its just like nope sry
have you used this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...oolbox-android-one-toolkit-one-click-t3030165
Yes, I tried. Its not working.
Is there any other way. I am desperate. It doesnt allow to move the Apps to SD card. There is no way. Locked in 4GB
I have a z820 in need of root as well. I've tried everything, including the link up there, and so far.....nope. Nothing. No apps to SD for me either.
Zte can't root for ****!!!!
I'm so mad because I really tried everything even a computer won't let me tried everything there to like why would the make a zte that can't even move your games or pictures or music to your SD card knowing danm well everybody gone need like we only got 4g that's nothing so what are we so posted to do delete stuff that we like.to trade for the other that we really don't need **** I'm pissed right now I know y'all are to but if anybody finds something please send me the info or con me by [email protected] thank you:good:
Needs update
This Phone really needs an update, it reboots and sucks, we can't even get into fastboot or anything to try to unlock the bootloader someone needs to make this possible because who in the hell uses only 4gb of storage, apps are so big and you can only download like 3 apps then you have to get rid of something if you want another app and its dumb so please someone..HELP US :crying:
Throwing my post up here so I can follow. Need root bad on this thing. I am using lite versions of every app. Lol
Same problem w/ ZTE obsidian..tCan't move to SD card. Anybody figure somethcing out yet?
I've gotten Kingroot to attempt to root it once and the results varied. Usually got 16% but the highest was almost 30% but I can't even get kingroot to even root it anymore.
The phone is not going into fastboot at all. I think the bootloader is locked. The phone will never be rooted.
I might of found a way, but it's untested so, proceed at your own risk, I am not responsible if your phone becomes bricked.
Enable developer mode and tick "OEM Unlocking" in the developer menu
Download SuperSU update zip from Chainfire's site and put it on your sdcard (internal won't work)
Power off your phone and hold power and volume up
Select recovery, wait for the android with the lid open to show up
Hold power and volume up for a couple seconds and let go
A menu should pop up, if not try again until it does
Select "update from sdcard"
Select the SuperSU zip
Let it flash the zip (shouldn't take long)
Choose reboot
See if SuperSU is installed and test that it works
Again, this is untested and would need a couple of people testing it to make sure it works flawlessly, so if this worked, please post that it did.
Nope. Thank you though.

You have to hold down power and vol up for like 2 seconds when you get to the dead android, then you'll get the recovery menu.
When I try to install the update package, I get 'opening update package' followed after less than a second by 'installation aborted'.
I powered down from the Developer Options screen with OEM unlock turned on when trying to update - it appears to turn off during boot as it is off again on restart.
Any suggestions? I looked at the logs that are visible from the recovery screen but they did not seem to have anything useful. Are there logs I can retrieve via ADB to see what the issue is?
My phone has build B18.

OEM Unlocking is always on for me even after restarts but I haven't tried to flash SuperSU yet. You might wanna get a logcat while doing it and post it here to see if anyone knows what the problem is. I have an older build of the phone (B03) but I dunno if it matters or not.
EDIT: Also every new Kingroot build allows you to attempt to root it for like 2 days and then it just can't for some reason but the thing with 18% still happens.

The logcat I am familiar with is in ADB. The only way I can find to access the phone from recovery with ADB is to select the flash from ADB option, which puts the phone in sideload mode where you can't pull data off. I was unsure if trying to load the ZIP that way would brick the phone so I haven't tried it.
I also tried using Fastboot and it doesn't recognize the phone at any time.
Is there another way to capture what is happening with the update?
I tried selecting restart in bootloader from the recovery menu with the phone connected to the PC. It stayed at the ZTE splash screen for over 10 minutes but neither fastboot nor ADB was able to communicate with it. I tried various key combinations without effect and finally ended up pulling the battery. Maybe it just froze up during boot for some reason.
I have tried every one-touch root I can find, none of them work. All the manual guides start with unlocking the bootloader - which I can't find any info on for this model. Based on the partition info, it's definitely locked: it has 27 (!) partitions including names like seccfg and oemkeystore. Is this normal for a lollipop device?
Hi everyone,
I am having a strange issue here. I updated to MM Beta using the Local Update Method. Update went fine, told me everything was ok.
Well, as soon as the screen turned on, I noticed that nothing was ok. The Honor logo appears, then it goes to System boot and stays there.
I didn't unlock the bootloader neither did I root it, which means everything is still original.
My problem now is, I can't do anything in the sense of:
Not possible to do a rollback, Install Fails
Not possible to install a Full Official Firmware UPDATE.APP, Install Fails
Not possible to use fastboot to flash images of course since I did not unlock it
Not possible to use the USB HiSuite Recovery method (Connect to USB and power on while pressing volume+) because it reboots instantly after showing me the "Download Update" button
I tried with several different Versions of the Firmware for PLK-L01, but nothing seems to work.
I already wrote an email to the Honor Support, but of course it will take time to answer and I don't have any other phone right now.
Should I unlock the bootloader by using the Code generated by the Huawei Website? If yes, how can I retrieve the information if the phone is not booting?
Or should I do something else?
It looks like nobody was or is in the situation I am, because everyone was able to resolve. I tried already everything that I could search and think of.
I appreciate if someone takes the time to help me since I ran out of Ideas.
And of course
Merry Christmas to everyone
Well I called support, and of course they want me to send them the phone.
Does anyone have experience in flashing the extracted firmware directly to the phone?
If I am able to unlock the bootloader, is it worth it trying? Or am I going to screw up stuff even more?
unlocking the bootloader may not help you* - and if you're sending it back, it will help you even less!
you can only flash boot, system and user from Huawei bootloader, it's a sh!t bootloader to be honest, you'll have modem and other bits from the MM flash.
did you place the rollback onto an sdcard in a directory called "dload", insert the card then do the "three button combo"?
turn it on holding vol + / vol - and power, keeping them held until the firmware updater is displayed - it should then force the downgrade.
this leaves you with an unusable phone so you then need to place the UPDATE.APP from B121** in this same sdcard directory and do the same again
You can then do B121-B140 via local update on the working phone..
* - actually unlocked bootloader saved me, flashed B121 system and user and rollback package worked
** - possibly B100 and work your way up

Yes, did it. It always says Failed to Update.
Neither the rollback, nor a complete Firmware works. I really don't know what to do.
On the phone they told me that it is normal that this happens, so I am quite questioning the quality of the Update service of Huawei Honor.
Still they want to cover it over the Warranty, but it will take a lot of time. And I seriously need a phone ASAP.
Any other advices maybe?
Thanks for the support anyway :good:
So, I was able to get my phone to boot back by unlocking the bootloader and flashing the B100 Firmware (Like described here)
The phone booted finally, the only problem is the Sim card not being recognized, probably because of the MM MODEM.
Now I will try to flash another full Firmware to see if I am able to get the modem back.
Otherwise I was thinking of flashing the TWRP recovery and creating myself a flashable MODEM from the UPDATE.APP of the B100. Will that work or is it influenced from the bootloader too?
the bootloader has limited end-user commands i don't think you will be able to flash "modem"

Thank you, I was able to recover my phone completely in the end with a different approach.
I just used and flashed the B130 Full Firmware through the Vol+ Vol- Power combination. Even though it said it failed, it actually works flawlessly. The phone works even better than before.
I was scared I would not be able to recover it, but with an unlocked bootloader and the right tools, everything is possible.
So thank you again @sminki, and thanks to all of the XDA Forum members who published tools like Huawei Update Extractor and the single firmware files.
:good::good::good::highfive:
that's great news, welcome back!
Hey guys, I've got a very weird problem with my phone which started just after I updated to MIUI 13.. It turns off by itself randomly.
It does it while browsing, texting, etc.. and even when locked. No matter if its charging or on battery. The only situation it doesn't turn off is when playing games, benchmarking or any other heavy task which is very weird as I thought the battery might be on its way out but it doesn't make sense if it works fine with heavy tasks...
The device is 3 months old but recently I replaced the display and the warranty is void now obviously, so I can't use that..
What I tried so far:
- Factory resetting, nothing changed
- Tried with the OEM safe mode, nothing changed
- I downloaded the same update again and flashed it throught the OEM recovery, nothing changed
- I'll try to make a clean install of the ROM when im able to unlock the bootloader which is of course after 7 days
Could it be a hardware issue and.. what it might be? The phone is working absolutely fine besides that random shut off - perfomance is the same, battery life is the same, no freezes ..nothing.
The other issue im experiencing and I've read alot about this is that my touch screen sometimes (rarely) is unresponsive. It just freezes, the phone is alright but I can't press on anything..
If it is software issue, how can I resolve it? Should I clean install the 13.0.4 rom or older?
edit.. i don't think it is actually shutting of but rather the display going black and unresponsive to any buttons as to restart it I must hold the power button more than 10 seconds
And also, I'm new to the forum, sorry if i posted this in the wrong section and excuse my bad english, I'm not a native speaker. Thank you
it's a firmware bug....do clean flash and pray it disappear..do fastboot clean flash

Thank you, I'll try when the bootloader is unlocked.. Meanwhile, I'm really worried about this being a result of the screen replacement? Could that be the issue? The screen works absolutely fine, keeps 90hz refresh rate, no glitches or artifacts.. Should I bring the phone back to the shop where I changed the display?
I confirmed that this is indeed a software bug. After factory reset, I kept the mobile data and wifi off so it can't update the apps and for 2 hours there were no signs of the problem UNTIL i turned the WiFi back on, the setup finished, updated the apps and my phone crashed in 10 mins. No idea which app causes this or why, but atleast its not hardware related. I'll try to reflash the 13.0.4 through OTA again and see if the problem persists.. If so, i wont have phone for the next 7 days because of the bootloader lock.. Thanks Xiaomi

flash with fastboot.. i think it's possible even locked..
Factory default and not restore apk, the problem could be any apk that did not work on miui 13.
Its not possible to flash with fastboot on locked bootloader. I tried several times it just refuses anything. I also couldn't manage to manually sideload OTA rom in recovery and I wouldn't risk it through the updater app because of the crashes..
I left my phone overnight with data turned off and it never crashed again.. I hope this get fixed after the clean flash because I really like MIUI13 and don't want to roll back
Same here. No any response from MIUI yet.
My Weekend is Trash. and my Data broken.
MIUI 13 Lockscreen Crash!
Hello guys, after I got my bootloader unlocked, i tried flashing several ROMs both china and EEA with MiFlash (clean all option) and it still crashes the phone randomly... I don't know what to do anymore. The only time phone can sit turned on without crashing is in fastboot and when booted but plugged in to computer (idk what is this about).. What should I do? I'll try to downgrade to 12.5 EEA stable with Mi Flash but is this clean install or should I do it with twrp?

Fastboot only
Im stuck in bootloop after downgrading to MIUI 12.5 EEA (the version i was on previously before miui13) via fastboot. The phone restarts after the boot logo and no matter which ROM i reflash it doesn't go beyond that.. Any advice? Tried factory resetting after flash but no result
Guys, no matter what I do, i cant bring the phone to life again. It reaches the MI logo, stays there for 10 seconds and screen goes black. I tried flashing EEA, Global, China, many versions all through fastboot. They flash with success, no errors at all but when rebooted it is stuck at the boot logo... Please help! I can still boot to stock recovery/twrp and fastboot. What can I do???
MiFlash log
I just tried the services of the telegram guy who does EDL flash over teamviewer. The flash finished with success but the same problem still persist and not only that, now It goes straight to fastboot without a chance to even boot in recovery...

Thats what I did, it never turned on until yesterday. A miracle happened and the phone booted but after 5 mins it crashed again... Wtf might be the problem with it. The only time it doesn't turn off is when its plugged to a computer with switched on debugging. I can't wrap my mind around it, are there any crash logs that I can read? Logcat doesn't show anything in help
please help me. after miui 13 ota update my phone is restarting every 10 seconds.
when it is in homescreen everything is here,but the message from android says update is finishing and automatically it restarts.it is stock rom,no bootloader open,
All original
i have data,that i want to save,but i cant. is there a way ? Maybe from recovery or fastboot or anywhere? But first i need to transfer the data to the laptop
I have the same problem, after doing anything that can make the phone hot if I block it it restarts but if I don't block it it continues to work fine so if you find a solution I would like you to tell me
I gave up on this phone already. Xiaomi quoted me with $250 for new motherboard. F*ck this phone and never buying this chinese crap again
