[HELP] LGC800 (myTouch Q) Bricked - Miscellaneous Android Development

About a week ago or so, my mom told me to root her LGC800 since my Galaxy Nexus is rooted and fully customized by me. I installed all the required drivers, my PC recognizes it well. I rooted the LGC800 with Super One Click, the latest one that doesn't require the ADB commands, and it rooted fine. Then I downloaded a recovery.img or boot.img and installed through Root Explorer. After that I installed ROM Manager and flashed the wrong Recovery and since that moment it stays stuck on the LG boot screen. I can only access the 3e Recovery (A [QWERTY] + F [QWERTY] + Vol Down + Pwr) and S/W Upgrade (E [QWERTY] + Vol Up + Pwr). At the 3e Recovery I tried doing a Factory Reset and, still, it won't go past the LG boot screen, I downloaded an update.zip and tried to install it and it didn't work, it says "Installation Aborted". I put it on S/W Upgrade mode and I then downloaded the LG Update Tool and it says phone or "Software Not Supported". Then I downloaded the KDZ Updater and the V10D_00.kdz file and it doesn't work. Either it's not the one for the phone or I don't know what's wrong. So I tried using the AndSDK file on my PC and so I open CMD, changed the directory to AndSDK and typed "adb devices" and it doesn't list any device. I put the phone in S/W Upgrade mode and still it doesn't list the device. But, I put the phone in Recovery mode and it listed it as LG_ANDROID_C800, so I typed "adb shell" then "su" to gain root access and it says "permission: denied". I tried to push files through "adb push"command and, again, "permission: denied".
The only thing I haven't done, not because I haven't tried it, is putting it in fastboot mode. I read it was pressing the Home button in the QWERTY keypad and Pwr, but when I try that it takes me to 3e recovery right after I press the Touch Home button, if I don't press anything at all it shows the Android with package and the arrow and it reboots, so it gets stuck in LG boot screen again.
I've been in the problem for about a week and I'm running out of resources. I only want it to be stock or at least stable. If anybody could help I would GREATLY appreciate it! Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:

I really need help on this. Any help would be appreciated.

[Q] Installed CM7 Beta & stuck on boot screen

Hi there,
I have a rooted and unlocked UK T-Mobile Atrix.
After following the CM7 Beta instructions up to this point:
While in Recovery install CM7 from internal storage
After installation select Data Wipe/Factory Reset
Then Wipe Cache Partition
Reboot system now
Watch awesome boot animation.
I rebooted, but have not seen the awesome boot animation (and I so want to see it) and am now stuck on the initial Dual Core splash screen.
I noted from a couple of posts in the CM7 thread that using Tenfar's CWM may be the cause of the issue.
Unfortunately I am unsure what to do now to fix my mistake and get a rom on the phone and boot it.
Please can someone help?
Thanks
Well...i got the same problem, maybe more worst....i`m stuck on S E logo for 7-10 seconds and after is rebooting again alone and again, i`m not able to go to xrecovery mode and as well i cannot to stay connected on my computer with the phone...is any chance to repair my phone or is time to drop on my recycle bin? Thanks!
I managed to find a solution (should have searched harder...) I followed these instructions here "code(.)google(.)com/p/atrix-dev-team/wiki/BackupRestore"
Flashing CWM Recovery via Fastboot
Download the latest CWM recovery from Downloads section (recovery-cwm-ext4.img)
Power off phone
Put phone into fastboot (Power + Vol Down Button)
Press Volume Up button to select Fastboot
Connect phone via USB cable
Open Command Prompt from your fastboot directory
Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (no quotation marks)
Type "fastboot reboot"
Followed by pressing volume down during the reboot, then pressing volume down repeatedly until Android Recovery appears on screen then pressing up. This allowed me to reapply the CM7 rom and all was good.
I'm not sure if this helps you Hellspawm, but good luck.
BLESS YOU! you helped out a noob in distress I had the exact same problem and it's fixed now.

[Q] HELP! ZTE RACER bricked after rooting!

Hi! Sorry about this rude way but I am in an emergency situation.
I have a ZTE RACER with Android 2.2.2 (official ZTE Frimware) which it keeps rebooting at the splash screen.
Before that, I did a root using SuperOneClick 2.3.3 by Shortfuse. After following the instructions (USB debug, plug-in, root) I've rebooted the phone normally (NOT with adb), and when it got after the ZTE Logo (the first one, not the splash screen and not the Android logo). The animation goes a little and freezes for a few seconds, then restarts automaticly (but not entirely, just repeats the splash screen) and reboot. Rance and repeat! I tried to unroot, but the app hangs, restarting with adb and nothing happens. adb restart command doesn't help that much. What should I do to fix it?
Additional info:
Phone recives adb commands normally.
Possibly Superuser app was leftover before unrooting and rooting again (yes I already did root, but superuser stoped working properly afer app and su files update)
Can't go to FTM Mode, ROM Manager gave me a broken CWM.
Unsure If I can install CWM manually since SD doesn't seem to get mounted.
Phone Info:
ZTE-RACER
Android 2.2.2 (FROYO_P2XXGV_V1.0.0_B2)
CWM 5.0.x (Installed with ROM Manager. Broken.)
Carrier: GR COSMOTE (that's unknown carrier for you.)
Thanks for any help.
P.S.: Does anyone here is greek and has a ZTE RACER with the official 2.2 upgrade? I need the FTM Mode.
From what you have said, it seems like you are in a soft brick not a hard one. This means that there is chance of recovery but you have to be very careful.
You weren't rude so don't worry bout that.
You may want to try a hard reset.
Now that we have identified the problem, you have the ability to try and find it yourself at least.
It is possible to manually flash the generic default 2.2 and this will restore your device.
or
turn off your phone and then press power button and volume up button.Programing will open and there is a option of reset and restore.By using volume button go to reset and restore option and then press power button and home key programing will start and your phone will reset.
Hit thanks if you found this useful.

For the first one, I don't know how since the only way I had was to reflash it with the 1-Click Update (I did that on my ZTE MF636 3G Modem).
About the second, you mean that I must use the adb command, or I just hold it down without connecting it (I am newbie to the Android), but thanks for the help. I'll keep you posted for the results.
(NOTE: 1-click update is the offline frimware updater made by ZTE.)

Logo appears but... I still don't get it.
Was that for CWM? Or for the phone?
CWM is broken by the ROM Manager. After installing, I tried to get in, but it got frozen to the Android logo + the red led is on. (Temporal brick).
Should I flash a working CWM to the phone?
Anyone?
If there is a working CWM recovery .img file for your device, flash that using fastboot.

a) I am not sure if it works but for sure it doesn't come from ROM Manager.
b)Where do I find fastboot and what's the command?
Anyone, please?
I think you get it when you install the SDK, along with ADB. You put your phone into fastboot mode, plug the USB into your computer, and use fastboot flash_image to flash the .img file to your device's recovery partition.
If you can boot your device into fastboot mode, search for "Android Flash Recovery" by Bill.Weckel (Windows only). That'll be the easiest way.

This command doesn't work. Is it fastboot flash recovery [image_file]?
Will somebody please help me out!
Here is the thread for Android Flash Recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827723
Doesn't work! It does detect it, but it can't flash it (on normal boot only. On recovery/bootloader it just getting bricked). Any other options? Or I have to send it for reflashing?

[Q] Red Triangle on Android Man

I have a Xoom WiFi on Android 4.1.2
I was trying to Unlock, Flash Recovery, Root and then Flash a Rom. I have Flashed on my phone a couple of times so I am a little familiar with the process.
I did the following:
1.
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot
2.
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery "name of file".img. (the file i used was "recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-wingray.img").
3.
Once you have verification on your device that this has been flashed, reboot your device by holding volume up + power.
Then 3 seconds after you see the Motorola logo, hit volume down. You should now see "Android Recovery" in the top left corner. Hit volume up to boot into recovery.
This is where things go wrong.
Upon reboot,
I press down volume upon seeing the logo.
It then says Android Recovery.
I then press up volume.
then it says entering Android Recovery Mode
reading ODM Fuse:1
Then the Green Android man shows up with the red triangle.
It sits there for a while then boots into Android normally.
I have been searching for a solution since this morning. Everything I found about this has not helped.
Earlier in the day I did Flash a different Recovery so I think I have two. I installed the ROM manger app. It shows two installed.

Please follow the Root Method mentioned in the 2nd Post of LAIOT thread . You can easily find it within the Development Forum , or my signature.

Sent from my GT-I9505
One of the files link is broken.
The requested URL /atftas/OEM/Motorola/XOOM/Xoom-Universal-Root.zip2 was not found on this server.
I have another problem.
Now I have two devices. If I unplug the Xoom it still finds emulator 5554. What is emulator 5554?
Thanks
Jim
I got around the emulator 5554 problem by using the -d option. I followed everything and all went fine. I installed the app Root Checker Basic but it says Sorry! this device does not have proper root access.
All steps completed with no errors.
I guess I'm stuck again.
Jim
I flashed back to stock. Did all the steps again and the same thing.
I tried several more times and it still would not work.
I went to another site and downloaded the root.zip and it worked this time. The root file on this site would not work for for some reason.
The Android man with the red triangle problem is also gone. Not sure what fixed it. I assume that it was because I flashed back to stock and used a different root.zip file.
Thanks for all the help

Honor 8 Can't Download Firmware, Can't Flash, Bricked? [Solved]

Hi, after trying unlock my bootloader, I couldn't get into recovery mode without "Your phone cannot be trusted" getting stuck on my screen.
I re-locked the boot loader but now when I go into recovery it says "Data Partition is corrupted please format" then it asks me to connect to a wifi network which then just shows errors everytime the password comes up.
I tried to turn on USB Debugging to ADB sideload a firmware, but I can't because the phone has been resetted; if I try to enter a wifi password the keyboard doesnt show it's just the google voice (which doesn't work) with no options. If i skip the wifi option it just goes on the google login and gets stuck on "Checking Info".
Any solutions to the problem please?
EDIT: I just re-unlocked the bootloader and now its permanently stuck on "Your device cannot be trusted, booting now" regardless of what buttons I press during startup
EDIT 2: I fixed it, it was long and complicated but I got it to work, here's how.
1. When flashing TWRP, I realized I was flashing the TWRP for EMUI 4, so I flashed TWRP for EMUI 5. (Make sure Bootloader is unlocked)
First have all the adb/fastboot drivers, for windows shift + right click the folder and click "Open Command here"
Make sure the twrp img file is in the same folder as the adb folder.
On the honor 8 phone, if it is stuck like mine, turn the phone off and then hold Volume Down + Power Button until the download mode is on the screen
Type "fastboot flash recovery (twrpfilename).img"
Once it's done, turn it off and then hold power button + volume up AND volume down at once till TWRP comes on
(Continuously hold it, if the "Your Device cannot be trusted" screen comes on release)
2. (Make sure internal storage and data are backed up externally for this)
Reset system, data, cache/dalvik, and internal storage
3. Download Update.zip and the second .zip from a website on google, search Honor 8 Manual Nougat and click the link from smartstocknews (I can't post links) but do not follow the steps from that website, and also download GAPPS from open GAPPS. Make sure ARM64 is selected and not ARM as well as 7.0
4. After wiping, mount the Honor 8 by connecting it via USB to a computer, and press "Mount" on TWRP
Upload the both update.zip and update_data_full_hw_eu.zip and GAPPS ARM64 7.0 to internal or external storage
5. Exit mount and go to install, install the zips in this specific order and do not reboot in between
A) Update.zip
B) Update_data_full_hw_eu.zip
C) GAPPS.zip
6. Reboot after GAPPS is done (it might show already installed, if that's the case then it's alright, reboot anyways)
Download the 70mb package for firmware downgrade and the latest marshmallow firmware from your regional huawei's website.
Extract the small package and put the .app file in a folder called dload on the SD card and insert it in your phone.
Boot by holding volume + volume - and pressing power, holding all 3 buttons until the phone vibrates.
The package will flash and afterwards you repeat the process, this time using an .app file from the full marshmallow firmware.
The 70mb package installs not matter how messed up your file system is, and makes your phone ready for the MM firmware. This process brings any brick back to life. Good luck.
I too was trying to root my FRD-L04 and apparently used the wrong TWRP because now I get...
Code:
Unable to open ' ' to wipe crypto key
Unable to wipe Data
Unable to format to remove encryption
Failed to mount /data (invalid argument)
and I cant get the keyboard loaded so I can log into my wifi when I do a factory reset. I really have no idea how best to attack this...my phone is bricked I can get into TWRP 3.0.2.0 recovery, sideload, and fastboot (i think). I am currently downloading the stock ROM for my device and will try to sideload it.
I feel I need to fix the data issues thought before trying to load the ROM as I dont think my data partition is working at all now. Does anyone have any suggestions or a step-by-step guide on how to fix my bricked phone?
I've tried all sort of things today but no matter what, I cant get a keyboard working so I guess that means I'm screwed....
EDIT - my phone doesnt have a insertable SD card so I cant fix things the way the above poster suggests.

This is truly one of the worse phones I have ever had when it comes to root and such. My frustration over what, for a unbranded unlocked phone that *should* probably SHIP with root, this phone has and is putting me through is super high.
That being said...so I flashed the new 3.1.0.0 recovery. Before doing that, I had just tried to Unbrick the phone with flashing B162 image with 3.0.3.0...so now the phone is totally frozen in the "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted..." screen. Nothing I seem to do can get it out of this mode.
I want to install the rooted b378 boot.img file I just downloaded, but am unable to find the button commands to get the bootloader loaded. Does anyone have any suggestions in somehow trying to save the day with this damned phone?
much thanks in advance.
EDIT: So I got the phone in bootloader mode by pressing vol up/vol down/power and inserting the usb cable...i flashed the rooted boot.img and twrp 3.1.0.1 to both recovery and recovery2 and now i can get into recovery. I feel like I may actually have a chance now to fix this damn thing...
So can anyone point me in a direction where, from this point with the new recovery loaded and the modded boot image installed, where i can get this phone working?? ill use ANY ROM it dont really matter at this point...
Don't worry. It's really easy, once you know what to do, just realy easy to screw up if you don't. If your phone is a mess just roll back to android 6 using the procedure i described above. Once your phone works, update to nougat and install twrp and root following this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/twrp-t3566563

I pretty much have the same issue. No keyboard showing, just the stupid voice thing, and the Bootloader is Relocked. How did you get it fully unlocked. I can't get it. I guess let me get that resolved first (the bootloader) and I can try to go from there. Please help me.
UPDATE: Never mind I fixed it. I'm not really for sure how either but I think it mainly was just persistence.
Didn't work
Hello, so earlier today I tried to install RROS newest version in hope to get magisk/unrooting my phone because I'm addicted to snapchat and I rooted my phone with SuperSU earlier but didn't know u can't login to snapchat after that. It failed idk why, (I followed instructions very clearly and searched info from internet before doing that) causing me to brick my phone so when I booted it, it only showed black screen. After couple hours not finding way to get into twrp with my circumstances I managed to flash boot, recovery and system images, I tried to reboot and see what happens, (just in case, I kinda knew I didn't had ROM installed at the time, I also was hoping RROS to boot) nothing happened expect my phone got stuck in boot screen for booting EMUI, which was not installed obviously. Again after couple hours I stumbled to your post and managed to finally get myself into TWRP, I followed again ur instructions and everything was going fine, no erros, not anything. When Gapps was finished installing, I rebooted and again it just got stuck into booting screen. I did press and hold Power button, vol+, vol- and got myself into some kind of ROM installing screen, (hard to explain I don't exactly know what is name of it) and no it wasn't Huawei erecovery screen (Power button & Vol+ and no it didn't work me either saying that "getting package info failed") so in that ROM installing screen it just was stuck at 5% installing, and now I don't know what to do. My phone got locked again and I'm stuck at booting screen.
Note:
I don't have SD Card, should I get one and install stock rom?
Sorry for being kinda unclear but I'm tired it was 7 hours ago I got my phone bricked and have surfed on the web finding for answers ever since.
Also as you might notice, yes, I'm new to modding devices etc but still I'm not totally noob. Please help ASAP.
[SOLVED] So after hour of watching netflix as depressed teen I tried to reboot my phone again just in case, got stuck in booting screen. Then I held Power Button + Vol+ and got myself into EMUI stock recovery mode, I chose wipe cache partition and wipe data/factory reset, after that I rebooted my phone, it was stuck in booting screen for like 2 minutes but then it actually finished booting and now my phone is again functioning and god bless locked & unrooted.
