[Q] Help! Stuck in bootloop/adb not working - General Questions and Answers

I have the LG G2 D800 (AT&T), my phone is completely wiped and all I can do is get into TWRP and ADB is not recognizing my phone. Is there any other way I can push files to the sd card (it's non-removable)? I'm not sure exactly what the ADB sideloader is in TWRP or how it works but even if I try to run it, it never gets past "Starting ADB sideload feature....."
Thank you in advance for your help :fingers-crossed:

In TWRP you can go to "Mount", select "sdcard" and then Mount USB Storage.

When I try to mount USB OTG, error message unable to mount '/usb-otg'

And when you are in TWRP you can't access the device via ADB right? So my only suggestion is to put your phone into fastboot.
To do that go into TWRP->Restart->Bootloader. In your computer check the device with "fastboot devices".
I'm not very familiar with fastboot, so you need to search a little for this. Good luck

I'm running v2.6.3.2 and the only options are to boot into recovery or system, system just stays on the LG logo though. I was hoping there would be a way to use the ADB sideload feature in TWRP or use the terminal commands

Ok I was able to use this terminal command to restore the stock ROM
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
and everything is working, never again will I underestimate the importance of backups!!

yes thats work fine thaks

Tried the terminal command since I havea similar problem. It seems it extracted some files but i still cannot load the stock rom. Are there any steps I am missing?
I have the same phone and the latest version of TWRP installed. ADB is commencing but not starting.

Hi Guys!
I forget to make backup and now there is no ROM install in my LG G2 LS980. I am currently using TWRP 2.7.0 recovery. The problem is USB-OTG not mounting and i think because of this issue i also can't able to install ADB Drivers as in PC device manager there is no drivers showing their even i tried Universal ADB drivers. Can anybody help me how to install ROM in my G.2 The ROM which was installed in my phone was Cloudy G3. I tried almost every trick and procedure but failed to recover my ROM.
Kindly help me in this matter. Thanks in advance
Regards

Just download the ROM you want to install, reboot to recovery, plug the usb cable and type "adb push (rom name).zip /sdcard/" in a terminal/console window on your PC - without quotes. You need to have installed adb, if you don't have it already just search for an installation guide with Google.

Answer by Motorola Support:
"We regret that after unlocking the bootloader and subsequent modification of your terminal software warranty is voided.
Also, in your specific case, we could not guarantee that your phone can be repaired. If the PCB has been damaged, the cost of repair would exceed the value of the phone, and therefore it would be irreparable."
put a usb otg with the rom in it and flash so it will be fixed!

Just flash stock ROM via bootloader.
Get a rom flashable zip then you can "adb sideload" the file to recovery!
device not found

Well i tried to flash the rom in your way but it is showing an error message: device not found and when i tried to find my device through adb device command... it is showing zero devices attached... pls help and revert asap
You can also try flashing a stock ROM via mfastboot or fastboot commands.
I don't know if this will be any help but sometimes even though adb recognizes my device it says device not found/device offline.
I plug the phone in and type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" it reboots to bootloader and everything works from that point on.
bro,i my adb it shows *cannot read 'sideload'* then what should i command

I know this is an old question, but just to share my experience, me too coincidently deleted OS from TWRP. I tried using ADB, but it was not detecting the phone. Then I copied custom ROM (CM 12.1 in my case) to USB drive, connected it with my phone using USB OTG and flashed the ROM. It worked like a charm

my problem got resolved.........
actually driver was the only problem which was not allowing ADB to detect device in RECOVERY mode, though device was detected in FASTBOOT mode
So I reinstall the driver to get ADB Interface installed in system> device manager
and then followed your remaining steps i.e. 6 onwards
Thanks a lot again.....

[Q] oneplus one stuck at boot menu and ADB sideload refusing

hello everybody,
so my phones speakers stopped working and I couldn't fix them so I went to twrp recovery and executed a factory reset. This resulted in the device hanging at the boot screen. I then spent half an hour trying to get the drivers working and when it finally saw the phone and I wanted to sideload the 33R zip it just gave me this long list with possible command (see screenshot attached).
in fastboot it's not seeing the phone for some reason
I have access to the following:
TWRP Recovery
Fastboot
Any idea on how to get my phone working again?

First on your PC try typing adb devices it should return the device serial number in the command prompt.
If it does then in TWRP click advanced, ADB Sideload, then swipe the blue arrow.
Then on your PC command prompt type adb sideload "ROM/File Name.zip" without the quotes.
It should load from there.

Try uninstalling the ones you have and installing this one.

Good luck man, I've got to get back to work.
I know the adb push "ROM/File.zip" /sdcard works because I tested on my phone prior to posting.
One last thought is your SDK might need to be updated as well.

Currently trying it on my laptop which has a fresh reinstall, removing the drivers completely will take too long.
Your driver saw it as a google galaxy nexus adb Interface, when I used adb devices it didn't see it.
EDIT: when I go to reboot it says that there is no os installed so yea...
Another Edit: I will try this driver when I get home and report back. OnePlus adb drivers windows
I managed to fix it using the oneplus one toolkit by manudroid

Help! Deleted EVERYTHING on ZTE N817

Okay, so when trying to flash CM ROM, I stupidly ended up wiping EVERYTHING in the "wipe" option. Trying to recover it, I tried sideloading the file through ADB, but TWRP would disconnect off the PC and say failed (TWRP version 3.0.2-0). Pushing a ROM zip won't work, as the phone only connects to the PC as ADB Sideload mode ('error: closed' is what it would say), and nothing else would work except sideload. I no longer have a working OTG cable, as my last one broke on me a week ago. The PC will not connect to phone on the 'Mount USB' option from TWRP. Plz help! I'm running out of ideas. I did make a backup (using Online Nandroid Backup, no it wasn't a zip) on the SD card, but TWRP will not read the SD card on my device. Note that the only thing I have is TWRP; no bootloader, no Fastboot, no nothing. Just TWRP.

You can connect to ADB but the adb push command isn't working when you try to move the ROM.zip to the device?
Get a new OTG cable.
The nandroid backup you made should have been done in TWRP and stored on extsdcard instead of the online backup, online backup is crap because it only works in certain conditions, it's useless when the device can't connect to a network.

Yes. ADB commands other than sideload will say 'error:closed', and ADB Sideload will just end up making the phone disconnect. At this point, I may HAVE to end up getting a new OTG Cable.

Try rooting the device and then use the Stick Mount app, if your device has the hardware to support OTG, that should enable it, but if your device does not have the hardware to support OTG then it doesn't matter what you do softwarewise or what you modify, it has to have the hardware or it can't do it at all.
Things like this are why I'd never buy or own a ZTE device of any kind. Relatively soeakibg, they are all junk.

Any ADB commands other than Sideload will just respond as error:closed, as the computer only reads the system when in ADB Sideload mode. However, when trying to sideload a ROM, the phone will disconnect and say failed, while the computer stays on xfer: 0.00. Maybe I could get some instructions to fix that? Maybe a bad TWRP version?

Sideloading a ROM won't work.
Try
adb reboot bootloader
If you can boot to bootloader or fastboot you can try finding the firmware for another device that has all of the exact same hardware components that your device has then try fastboot flashing it or extract the separate .imgs from the firmware and use the fastboot commands to flash the boot.img and system.img.

Did you ever get the TWRP for this? I have it in my dropbox pm me.
The issue were running into is that the TWRP on this model can't see the ext sd. The backup is 1.5 or 2gb which is usually too large to fit on the internal SD
Slacker is working hard at modding the Fstab file to make TWRP see that storage. Any ideas please let him or I know([email protected] or here )
I'm also working on an EquiMods custom ROM for this. Bare bones battery saver, switchable to performance when needed.
Anyone know if and how these can be overclocked?
I have a deodex rom done for this phone and also should have the working twrp recovery by morning. The cm11.0 ive been working on is almost done. I hope Everytime i flash it to phone i get white screen. Also im going to install xposed on it in the morning. I think i found the fix for that to work
Any news on this? I can't find anything that works with this phone. I have adb sideload working, but that's pretty useless from what I understand.

They obviously got something to work since there are members in this thread that have TWRP installed on their devices, that means they can at least root the device but I doubt there are any ROMs for this device.

No OS... TWRP won't display files on otg/sd

I had a bit of a problem with CM and it kept saying trebuchet had stopped working. (This is after the phone had been running fine for a whole year with CM. Then the phone kept restarting and saying trebuchet had stopped working and it would constantly restart until it calmed down. I decided to install and alternative launcher but the problem didn't totally go.
Thereafter I decided to delete trebuchet from root and boom the phone never calmed down and kept restarting. Eventually I tried restoring factor settings and it says now that there's no OS.
I had TWRP installed before but now when I've tried to install the latest one, it doesn't show any files on the OTG. I've put twrp on the SD along with a rom as well but nothing shows at all.
Can someone help in simple terms?

Use adb commands to flash TWRP (Put your TWRP image in the same folder on your pc as your adb and enter each command separately):
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (latest version is 3.1.1-0-peregrine, remame it to twrp.img - if that doesn't work rename twrp to recovery.img and try that).
fastboot reboot
If that works, restore you last known good working backup or try re-installing your stock rom.

Install or re-install your Motorola Device Manager on your pc from this link: https://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en/solution/MS88481
Check in your pc Device Manager to see if your device is connected and recognized properly when you plug in the USB cable.
In the folder where your adb and fastboot files are, open a command prompt and enter adb devices to see if the phone is recognized now in adb. If it is, proceed as suggested earlier.

shows up in device manager as android usb device, Still not showing on adb
I managed to get the device to finally track on with adb. It tracks fine now. However I can't seem to flash a rom on regardless of whether its OTG or sideload...

Go to this link (https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/rom-stock-motorola-4g-lollipop-rom-t3142816) and download the correct untouched rom for your phone model and transfer it to your sd card or internal memory.
Then try this command: fastboot boot recovery.img or fastboot boot twrp.img
and follow the directions exactly in the op in that thread to flash the rom.

Absolutely no idea how but I managed to get one of the CM roms sideloaded and even though when i chose to reboot it said no OS. I've got it going, however I've forgotten to put gapps on so I'll try that now. Later on I'll try sideload stock rom or something and see how that goes. Thanks for the help so far! :good:

The problem with CM roms is they're not really being updated anymore - just one of the problems I have with a lot of custom roms besides the bugs, etc., etc.
If you're hell bent on a custom rom, I would check out this one: [ROM][OFFICIAL][Peregrine][7.X] LineageOS 14.1 at https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/rom-cyanogenmod-14-0-t3469103
Lineage is the new go-to from CM. I personally would go back to stock first, however, to ensure everything is restored properly before installing it.
It's being updated regularly currently.
I just had a old CM rom downloaded from before hence I went to that lol. I'm trying lineage for now but I've also downloads the stock ROM. Whatever will keep the phone going
