Another brick? Please help!

I followed this tutorial (2nd post down), got some errors during the process and failed to complete it.
Now my phone hangs on the vodafone splash screen on boot. I think it is empty - without a rom.
However, it will boot to recovery and the bootloader fastboot.
Is there anything I can do to fix it or is it just a brick now?
Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers,
Flitar

boot into recovery and perform update with some rom
you will need to have some external device to write your microsd

If you get to a modded recovery image, you can run adb
1. Run "adb shell".
2. Once you're connected, remount the microsd card (it the os is broken it doesn't mount it automatically, at least on my phone) by running "mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard"
3. Run "exit" on the terminal, so you can go back to your desktop computer.
4. Copy an update file to the sd card using adb, for example: "adb push [name_of_the_file] /sdcard/update.zip
5. Run the update from the recovery menu.
6. Reboot.
If that doesn't work, and if you did a nandroid backup, you still can update using fastboot by using the image files from the sd card (wich, by the way, you can copy from the phone back to the pc by using the command "adb pull [remote_file_name] [local_file_name]

Thanks you guys!
Sorted, phone is fine now.

can you boot into recovery?
just mount from recovery and place a ROM zip inside your sd card
Flash the ROM and Flash the appropriate kernel from fastboot
Be sure to wipe 3x

as in choosing that option so that u can connect your Phone's SD card with your PC so if u have a ROM, u can paste it in your sd card and then flash afterwards

boot into your bootloader
than select recovery and press the power button
if you in your recovery (e.g. twrp)
go to mount sd (or sth like that)
if you connect your phone to your pc it will be shown as a removable device, or mass storage under computer
paste your rom you want to flash into the root of your storage.
then unmount your external storage in twrp.
than go to install and you should be able to select the zip you pasted before.
than flash this zip.
after flashing the zip, boot yuor phone into bootloader and press power when you have "hboot usb" selected, so it switch to "fastboot usb"
extract the boot.img from your zip you have flashed and paste in the android folder (where fastboot adb etc is located)
than open the command line there and tipe in
fastboot flash boot boot.img
erase cache
reboot
good luck

well by formatting you'll delete everything on your sd card
Just press the skip option if it comes up

yes i tought so..no skip option..computer just cant read the device memory..

then format it

problem solved!, i formatted the phone storage with windows and then installed everything. thank you so much for the guidance!!

"CM Lockscreen has stopped" turns OPO into bootloop, how to backup /sdcard to pc?

"CM Lockscreen has stopped" turns OPO into bootloop, how to backup /sdcard to pc?
I got the "CM lockscreen has stopped" message, and now my phone keeps rebooting. I can put the phone into stock recovery mode and maybe fastboot mode(yet to try). All i wanted now is to backup all my files in internal storage before "sideload" the older firmeware(33R) to fix the phone.
I just learned how to use adb and fastboot.
in stock recovery mode------> apply update-----> adb, only "adb sideload mode" is allowed, i can't use adb pull command in here.
Question is: How to backup all the files in internal storage(/sdcard) to my pc.
should i just sideload the older firmware and fix the rebooting issue first?
but i am worrying this method won't works or the internal storage will get formatted.
Thank you

Just flash a custom ROM using TWRP. Your files won't be erased from internal sd card.
No need to use fastboot. Don't forget to wipe in twrp.

But i didn't install TWRP on my phone. To install TWRP now, i think i have to unlock the bootloader first, but this will wipe all the data(including internal sd scard). Am i right?

Thanks for replying ....
Trying now, had tried install "15 seconds ADB Installer"
and running the cmd.exe with code "adb reboot-bootloader"
however result = "error : device not found"
Possible reason that i could think = my pc unable to read / detect / access my p725 when it No System ?
Will keep trying later, thanks ^^

This is not how you must use the adb sideload feature. Follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559200

Had tried to did the same thing @ first post, including installing the LG drivers (hope it including my LG p725)
http://hexamob.com/driversen/driversen-driversen/download-android-usb-drivers-for-lg/
Also did following
1) Your phone is rooted and up and running in custom recovery (CWM,)
2) You have proper drivers installed in your Windows (Samsung ADK + LGUnitedMobileDriver_S50MAN310AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.10.1)
3) You have USB debugging enabled in the phone (Yup, did it before rooting the phone)
however .... in the CWM recover, still didnt show out "adb sideload" & the cmd.exe still showing "error : device not found"

How to install rom after full wipe and without sideload success

Hi,
I want to install the Noble Nougat Experience 4.5 so the first I did was to copy the zip file into the download folder. Then i booted into revovery (twrp 3.1) mode, wiped all but internal storage and did a format data but the zip file was lost (I think format data was one step too much?!) . Then I tried with adb sideload but I alwyas got the error "can't load xy.zip" so I tried a random zip file from desktop and this was loaded properly. Now iam stucked in recovery mode with no OS and no idea how to get the zip file to install it.
Can someone help me please?

Hi,
connect your s6 to your computer in TWRP go to Advanced the ADB Sideload then swipe to start sideload
After that press Cancel.
your device must appear in your computer as MTP device so, move "Noble zip" file to your device And flash it.
Regards,
