I found my phone stuck on google screen. My phone is not rooted. I can get to fastboot mode, but when i select Recovery mode I go into google screen again. What do I need to do, is there a way to copy all my files from phone to pc so I dont lose them when I reset my phone.
Try to flash recovery(TWRP) from fastboot then flash any ROM.

Connect your phone to PC with USB
Type the following commands
Verify that the phone is recognized
Code:
fastboot devices
To Boot to TWRP
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
If you are in TWRP go to 1) wipe
2) Advanced Wipe
3) select dalvik cache & Cache
4) Wipe
5) Reboot
If that didnt work I would recommend to install it.
To Install TWRP
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
To Reboot
Code:
fastboot reboot
Download TWRP from Here. Also any issues with ADB you will find help in the same thred

Hello everyone,
I am asking for help because my Nexus 5 stuck into bootloop suddenly. My phone is unrooted, bootloader in locked state, as I have never flashed any ROM in my phone. I am not keen on getting the files in my phone back but just want to use the phone again. I have tried many methods to restore my phone but still, I failed. I can go to fastboot and recovery mode. However, my phone is still in locked state, I could not flash any factory image into it using Nexus root toolkit nor put any rom files to sdcard. and I couldn't unlock the boot loader as it is in a boot loop. Do anyone got any ideas to save my phone, please help me.
P.s. I have already tried the following methods:
Method1 ( Failed because my phone is in locked state, cannot push any ROMs into it.)
-setup ADB, connect phone while its in recovery to adb.
-Download a rom for your phone (you can head over to XDA to look for rom and download one you like). Just download it to your pc.
-Connect your phone to pc using USB.
-Open cmd and enter the command adb push PathAndNameOfROMFile.zip /sdcard/. This will push the rom file you downloaded above to sdcard.
-Wipe your system, dalvic cache, cache and data (recommended, but not necessary if you downloaded same rom as previously installed on your phone).
-Reboot.
Method2 ( Failed because my phone is in locked state)l, cannot write any ROMs into my phone)
Semi-Case 2:
-There is some problem flashing some specific part.
-In this case, you can try flashing manually.
-Run these commands One by One in cmd/terminal (replace C:/ with path to where you extracted the official factory ROM archive):
fastboot flash bootloader C:/image-hammerhead-xxxx/bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio C:/image-hammerhead-xxxx/radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system C:/image-hammerhead-xxxxx/system.img
fastboot flash userdata C:/image-hammerhead-xxxxx/userdata.img
(Note: this command will wipe your device (including /sdcard), EVEN if your bootloader is already unlocked.)
fastboot flash boot C:/image-hammerhead-xxxx/boot.img
fastboot flash recovery C:/image-hammerhead-xxxx/recovery.img
(Skip the above command if you dont want to flash stock recovery and are sure that your current recovery is not corrupt).
Fastboot erase cache
-This will manually flash everything. Hopefully this time it should be fine.
If you can get into recovery try wiping your cache from there. Try more than once if it doesn't work the first time.

I have tried that for a few times, but a flashing recovery mode android logo appears after I wiped the cache.
Unfortunately you may have to unlock your bootloder and reflash the firmware. Not that difficult but will wipe your phone so you will lose any photos or data that you may have on it.

Thank you for your advice, I don't mind losing the data. I have tried unlocking the bootloader but when my phone is unlocked using Nexus Root Toolkit, it goes into boot loop and become locked again when I goes into fastboot mode.
I have a Koodo LG P500H. I am having a very hard time installing TWRP.
Firstly Play store doesn't work. It has this old thing called "Market" that has some apps, but not all. Market eventually gets updated to Playstore, but I can't even find TWRP manager. There was another app in the Playstore that I tried called ROM Manager. It said it installed TWRP for me. I restarted the phone, and nothing happened.
Restarting and Holding power/volume down/home will show a picture that seems to be some sort of recovery mode. But it only run for 1-2 seconds before the phone restarts itself. Nothing happens.
I tried to use ADB. But after rebooting the device it just restarted without ever going into recovery mode. So the flash command just get stuck at "Waiting for Device." Does this phone even have a recovery mode?
This phone doesn't support Odin.
I am used to using TWRP. Without it I cannot flash the phone into new OS.
And every single time I fail, the whole phone seems to have reformatted. So I have to enter in my wifi password and gmail again. All of that typing on a very small keyboard takes a lot of time. I had spent hours on this phone without getting TWRP working.
Please help.

The problem is when I reboot into fastboot (adb reboot bootloader), the phone will go into "phone off battery charging mode". It never actually goes into the bootloader.
Ok I did the following and it seems fastboot and TWRP works now. Be sure to enable USB Debugging on your P500.
1) Fastboot tutorial (I did everything here. I hit "ok" on the LGMDP 1.5 tool as needed. Do not wait till the countdown timer goes to zero.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15122833&postcount=100)?
FastBoot Tutorial
1. Please download this (or from here) file and unzip it in to any folder.
2. Start LGMDP 1.5 tool with the phone connected (you need to have USB drivers installed) and click on Select Port
3. A separate window should appear like the one below
Just click connect
4. Another window will take shape (LGE Mobile security) with lots of options (links)
Click on the first upper right Browse and select the folder in with you have unzipped the files. You will get some errors that some image, table or headers are missing. Just click OK and in the end everything that should remain selected is Partition Table, APPSBL Image Header and APPSBL Image.
Now just close the window (click on x)
5. Now you are back on the main window and here you'll have to click on Download
6. You are almost done and from now on everything should go on automatically.
NV Backup
Autorestart in Emergency\Download mode and upgrade the files (you selected on step 4)
NV Restore (the last step) Do not disconnect the USB cable until the restore is done
Wait for the phone to restart in normal mode (your current rom).
That should be everything you need to do to get fastboot enabled.

2) Install PdaNet+ (This was the only thing I did in this tutorial. It fixed the usb driver and the fastboot can then communicate with my PC.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350733
http://pdanet.co/a/
(Note: On top of Partition Table, APPSBL Image Header and APPSBL Image in step 4, I also selected the TWRP image file as my RECOVERY image. Not sure if this make a difference. )
(Note 2: I think you can also get the LG drivers here.)
3) Restart, hold down power + home to boot to the fastboot. Or in ADB type adb reboot bootloader.
4) Open ADB (while phone is still in fastboot mode) and type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (after downloading the TWRP image, renaming it and moving it to my ADB root folder. I am using TWRP 2.8.0.1 here.)
5) Type fastboot reboot
6) After the phone restarts, type adb reboot recovery. TWRP runs for me. Power+Home+Volume Down (3 button combo) also works now. (Previously this would reset the phone.)
Hey Man, im glad it worked. I could use your help.
I bricked my phone and need the restore file, Do you think you could make a backup from TWRP and upload it?
I would be super grateful.
Thank you.
Here is a zip with CM11, twrp 3.0.2.0 and Gapps for CM11.
Its the best rom I found.

Hi. What is your "brick" like? Does your TWRP still run? If yes you can just copy a custom OS into your Microsd card and install it from your Microsd.
You can also use ADB push to move files from your PC to the phone.

If you TWRP doesn't run, you need to install that first. Do steps 3 and 4 in the above post to boot into bootloader and install TWRP.
3) Restart, hold down power + home to boot to the fastboot. Or in ADB type adb reboot bootloader.
4) Open ADB (while phone is still in fastboot mode) and type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (after downloading the TWRP image, renaming it and moving it to my ADB root folder. I am using TWRP 2.8.0.1 here.)
Hi,'
I think I disabled google app on my nexus 5 (stock android) and since then my phone is stuck in boot loop. (My phone does not go past logo of marshmallow rolls or message saying starting apps 10 of 10). I have very important data that is not yet backed up and I need them to be recovered.
From various threads, I did following in recovery mode
1. Wipe cache option under recovery menu - as it was mentioned, that it would not delete any user data on my sdcard. (No help, still stuck with boot loop)
2. In recovery mode - there was an option to mount phone memory and I did that. My phone shows a message at the bottom of the screen that it is successfully mounted. But I am not familiar how to proceed further or to recover data from my phone.
My phone is running stock android and I think I have not disabled USB debugging. I am not familiar about ADB, but can follow your guidelines and execute them. When I connect my phone to windows laptop, I see my laptop trying to install the MTP device driver, but fails saying unable to find the driver.
I need to recover my data and Any help is greatly appreciated.
Is your bootloader unlocked? I'm guessing not.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using XDA Free mobile app
If the bootloader is unlocked, you could flash twrp and then mount the data partition from twrp. If the bootloader is not unlocked, you could try pulling the data from the phone using adb commands. Was debugging enabled in the rom?
I have not unlocked my boot loader. Is there a guide to use adb with stock android?
Only if you enabled debugging in developer options.
Today, I installed 15sec ADB installer and booted my device in to recovery mode by pressing power and volume keys.
Then under recovery menu there was an option called - Mount / System. I selected it by pressing power key and from ADB ran adb devices.
No devices was listed, when I ran ADB devices.
But I saw another option in my phone recovery screen - Apply update from ADB.
I got a message in phone - "Now send the pacakge you want to apply to the device with adb sideload filename".
Now, when I execute ADB devices in my PC cmd prompt, I see my device with its serial number.
then I tried to use ADB Pull /sdcard/ to recover files from PC command prompt. But I got a message - saying error closed.
Am I doing the right things? Can you guys guide me to recover files from this point.
My bootloader version is HHZ20h. Product - Hammerhead.
I noticed from below link a user has had luck with sideloading a launcher. Has anyone here tried it ? will it affect my data on phone?
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=64773#c22
Any guide to sideload google search app in recovery mode?
Have you considered side loading the OTA from Google? https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota Directions are on the site.
When you get to this point
(But I saw another option in my phone recovery screen - Apply update from ADB.
I got a message in phone - "Now send the package you want to apply to the device with adb sideload filename".), you send the ota zip. (Adb sideload <name of zip> ). You have to make sure the zip file is in the folder with adb files.

I tried to install OTA update and did the reboot. But it did not help.
Can anyone provide me a launcher that I can sideload in recovery mode? Reading from various threads, I think my phone is in this state because I disabled the google app, which is also the launcher.
Thank you

How to perform this flash without wiping my user data? Any guide for it?
Download the stock image from Google that matches the rom currently installed on the phone, extract system.img, boot phone into fastboot mode, and type fastboot flash system system.img at the command prompt, and reboot.

Boot ur phone in fastboot mode (From power off to vol down + power), then connect it to the pc and install latest_google_drivers for nexus devices, ull need to manually install them, after that ur fastboot will recognize ur device.
From that type fastboot devices, if u see ur device connected u simply need to get into the commands that the other user gave to you, i u are lucky ur device will boot.
if u had unlocked bootloader the thing was easy as installing twrp 3.0.2.0 and backup all ur data via MTP

I can download the ROM through LMSA, but not flash it.

Fastboot performs this operation, but then rebooting gets me back into TWRP again.

Tough one! Try this. It will wipe your data partition, though.
If it will let you, power down the tablet for about 10mins. Then boot into TWRP. Go to "Wipe" and swipe for Data/Factory Reset. Reboot.
If the M10 still won't boot, in TWRP re-format Data (by typing 'yes' under Wipe->Format Data), and wipe cache and Dalvik Cache. I think dalvik is under Wipe->Advanced. Factory reset again. Reboot.
As an absolute last resort, you might try fixing permissions in TWRP under "Advanced". But I don't think that's going to do much, because you haven't booted the ROM successfully yet.
Hope one of these works for you. Let us know what worked for you. If nothing works, PM me and we'll try some other things.

I followed the instructions but on the last step of rebooting to system the device restarts, shows the Lenovo logo then it goes to a black / blanks screen. It appears to have shut down. I must hold the power button for several seconds before it wakes up (or restarts?) and does this all over again -- shows the Lenovo logo then black screen.
For the record the device was already rooted with Magisk. I was just trying to do a TWRP backup but found /data mounting errors so tried following steps 6 & 7. At the moment the device refuses to boot up. I am unable to get back into Recovery Mode. The ONLY thing i can do is get into FASTBOOT mode and issue commands from CLI.
The following hardware key combos produce the same results -- tablet turns on to show the Lenovo logo, after a few seconds the screen goes black (the device appears to have turned off):
x Power key
x Power Key + Volume Down
x Power Key + Volume Up
x Power Key + Volume Up + Volume Down
** Release of keys is done once Lenovo logo appears
Any ideas?
UPDATE
I went ahead and performed: fastboot flash boot boot.img << the boot.img was the earlier patched magisk image i used to get the rooted working tablet.
After performing the above the tablet turned on and is now showing the Lenovo logo however it does nothing else --- it remains on the logo forever. I am able to get into TWRP recovery. I went ahead and wiped Dalvik, Cache, and Data. Rebooted to System but still it is stuck on the Lenovo Logo.
The device if fully charged.

You could try recovering the tablet with LMSA. See this post. You'll lose all your existing data and setup on the tablet, though.
Not sure what went wrong for you. Do you have a TB-X605F with Snapdragon 450 SOC? The existing TWRP is only for the SDA450. I'm working on one for the M10s with SDA429.

Thanks for the response. Yes mine has the Snapdragon 450. I will investigate the LMSA. Been messing around all day but made no progress -- not even QPST is working out.
