I bought an LG G3 a few days ago, and I rooted it with no problems whatsoever. However, a few hours ago I followed a tutorial to increase the max volume which involved editing the mixer_paths_qcwcn.xml or the mixer_paths.xml file (depending on the model), but what that tutorial failed to mention was that I needed to change 644 permissions. So now I have a boot loop (stuck on the LG boot up screen), I've tried holding the volume down and power key down but no luck, help me with what to do please!

Okay, turn off the phone. Then hold the volume up button whilst plugging in the USB cable to enter download mode.
Now just flash your stock ROM
P.S We must get your phone back and working IT'S AN LG G3 and thats all I needed to hear:crying:

Thanks for the reply, excuse my apparent lack of knowledge, but I don't know where to get the stock ROM from, and neither do I know how to flash it onto the phone. It's a D855 model by the way

I used the 1 click root on this device and now it's bricked.
It seems that the stock firmware is not available, or at least I have not been able to find it.
Is there anyone who knows how to return this phone to stock?
Also, If I take this brand new (1 day old) back to AT&T and request an exchange due to the phone not working and being stuck at the logo, will they exchange it or test and find out it is rooted and bricked ? Am I out of luck? Suggestions?

try this and see if it will give you a firmware to download. some time there is one, some times not. if you get a firmware, then we can work on figuring out how to flash it.

Thank you replying.
I don't have access to the OS since it is stuck and that is an android app. I do have the imei and other info though, but I have searched everywhere for the firmware and it is not released for this device. Apparently it is an AT&T exclusive.
In any case here is the OS Version 5.1.1
and SW Version H44312g
I posted on another thread in which other users had the same issue and they seemed to resolve the problem, but it is not very clear to me how they did it and they are not very interested in helping either.
Sucks being without a phone.

Hi! Thanks for providing the link and replying.
I checked the IMEI and it returns the following:
Not Available: KDZ format firmware for print LG LS980 and ATT LG E980
THat is strange because this is an LG Escape and the LS980 is an LG G2 and the E980 is an LG Optimus G Pro.
In any case it seems that there really is no firmware available for this phone unfortunately.
I have a paper weight, if it wasn't for google hangouts on my computer, I would not have a phone at all.
Is there any other possible way?
I wonder if the guys on this thread can step up and chime in, but I have sent them private email and all to no avail : http://forum.xda-developers.com/gen...5-1-1-ota-failure-t3175001/page3#post63862368

Are you able to enter fastboot mode? Or adb during boot (sometime it launch during boot, even if the phone bootloop) ? If you are, maybe you can ask someone with the same phone to make a dumb of the system (with the command line and dd) and flash it using fastboot?
Or, if possible, use adb yourself to copy a dumb of your system to see what's wrong and maybe fix it and flash it again.
It's just some ideas, i can't promise you that should work .

Hi,
You should use a computer with the fastboot utility, you can find more explications here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277112
With a system.img from an other device you can use "fastboot flash system" and give the img as parameter (warning : it's very useful tool, but can brick your phone if wrong used, don't do this until you are confident enough with it).
To make a dumb of a system from an other device, you can use adb or a shell utility and do : "dd if=/dev/block/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system of=/storage/emulated/0/system.img" on the other device (need root) and copy the system.img to your computer.

more than likely, charge you for a new phone. if it was as easy as flashing some new firmware, we could do that, we have the tools they use.
when it wont come on, i dont know if they will just send it back, send you a new one with a bill, or call you to see what you want to do.

I have a potential fix for this problem however, xda rules won't let me post a link to the fix that I used. Maybe pm me for details.

No one had tried yet as far as i know .
For me i didnt get an answer for restore back if i bricked my device with this method . so its kinda riscky for me as i dont have another device to use if i bricked mine .
Seems like there's a compile files in the link directry to the h990 if bricked.
There is a kdz available for the h990 single sim so just try it. If it doesnt work then let me know and ill see if i can help. But you can restore to stock using the kdz

Hey everyone. I rooted my Honor 8 yesterday using the following guide: https://www.xda-developers.com/honor-8-root-twrp-and-xposed/. Everything seemed to work fine at first, but soon my Bluetooth refused to turn on at random and apps constantly crashed (either on startup or when switching between them). It got annoying very quickly and after searching for hours and not finding any real solution, I decided root wasn't that important to me and I'd just unroot my phone and then hard reset. After using SuperSU's unroot function, my phone turned off and rebooted. But when it got to the blue screen with the honor logo, it froze. Nothing does anything. No matter which buttons I press/hold down. It's just stuck on that screen. I'd love to take out the battery, but with these new phones, it's sadly built in (who ever thought that was a good idea?). It's been this way for close to an hour. ADB doesn't recognize it anymore. The only way my PC seems to recognize it at this point is through the Device Manager, where it shows the yellow warning sign. Under Properties > General it reads "This device cannot start. (Code 10)". I've tried a few different things but none of them have worked. So this is where I'm at now. I'd hate to lose this phone since I just got it three months ago. I would really appreciate any sort of help, because I'm grasping at straws.

I'm just gonna go back to not having root after this, haha. It was just something I wanted to try, I don't need it that much. I did a factory reset and will now get my most important data back on my phone (thankfully I have a backup). Still, thank you so much for your help. I don't know what I would've done without you. I "Thanked" all your posts here, which is the least I can do.
Notice: before doing it, make sure your phone bootloader is unlocked or it won't work
This will require you to find a matching full ROM. To find your matching channel, go to Settings > About Phone > Software channel
Lookup the first two letters and find the matching ROM there
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/river/official/
If your phone channel is "US Retail", download RETUS (retail US)
After you have downloaded the full ROM (you should keep the full ROM in case you want to revert to stock unrooted), unzip and get boot.img. Copy the image to your phone and use Magisk to patch the image. After that, copy the output image to your host computer.
Now turn your phone off, press and hold power + volume down to enter bootloader, connect your phone to host computer, and enter
Code:
fastboot flash boot
Press space once and drag and drop the output image file to command window.
If everything goes well, restart the phone and confirm it is rooted with Magisk
Now you have rooted G7
Nice solution. Did not even need TWRP for this either.
Seems to be oversimplified. I'm sure this makes perfect sense to those that go through the root process often or at least recently.
Unfortunately I'm not one of those. Last device I rooted was about 5-6 years ago.
I'll be doing my homework on the new tools and procedures while waiting for a more detailed step-by-step guide.
Thank you for your efforts and at least I know that root is possible.
Please can you guys make the steps easy to understand...some people here are new in this method.... Thanks
Question
What will my mirror be if Software Channel says Amazon?

I don't think Amazon version allows you to unlock the bootloader
Alternative method: look at the appendix of model on the box and find a matching one

I was able to unlock mine from amazon, it was XT1962-1 and said software variant amz and software channel amazon. For root I did have to flash with stock rom. The steps I took are listed in moto g7 questions thread. Look for amazon in the title.
I just picked up a G7 to play with today.
@mingkee I'm assuming these are similar to the Pixel devices when an OTA is sent we can just reflash the Stock boot.img and then take the OTA and re-root using the same methodology above?

Yes, as long as using correct boot.img
I tried with G7 Play - Channel
Did not work. These errors occurred in the prints.

You should be good. The bad key error is normal. What happened on reboot?

Don't worry about the error.
Install Magisk Manager and required components and that's it.
Keep the original boot in case to get OTA, but you should get updated full ROM and get updated boot and patch and flash again

Rebooted normally. When it starts, the screen turns completely black, and bad key is written in the upper left corner. It restarted in the same way.

Can you explain this better? Did not quite understand.
This method works flawlessly. Thanks for the tip.

Boot.img should match ROM version or you may have trouble booting.
New OTA has been released for US, but it's recommended to wait for updated full ROM in order to regain root.

Did not work.
My bootloader is unlocked.
The boot.img image is correct.
I did it step by step and it did not work.
I do not get root and magisk says that it is not installed.

Did you patch boot.img?
my moto g7 non variant river phone channel said "US Retail", but the required rom info was under River/Official/Retail, not River/Official/Retus. When I tried Retus, it bootlooped until I flashed Retail. FYI for anyone encountering same issue.
mingkee said:

Yeah. I copied the patch boot to my computer and flashed with adb.
My software channel is "reteu2" and the software version is PPW29.98-28.
Under river/official/RETEU/ I cannot find a suitable software version. Is my version not available there?
Hey guys,
My device doesn't want to boot in the right way.
I've flashed RUU with the same version as before to see if this is the solution but nothing changed.
It boots till the welcome assist, like it was a new phone. That's okay but I can't get further this point.
It wants me to turn WLAN on and connect it. But there is no possibility to turn WLAN on?
I think it's because my memory is crypted and can only be encrypted by connecting with my google account. Is there a way to delete that cryption on my memory?
Or do you guys know how to activate WLAN with cmd or somehting like that?
I need really help here, I don't know what I can do any further. Do you guys think TWRP should be an option?
Thanks in advance!

I can turn on to allow apps to scan for wifi. Then press the butto to go back and the phone turns black except the watch upper right and the lock upper left side.
Then after 2 minutes it stays at either at the welcome screen or just back at the screen I've sent to you.
I've had also one time the message that the applikation android settings crashed and if I want to sent the report to HTC. But this was just one time.
I still think it's a software issue. But it has to be outside the firmware. Maybe my bootloader is not working correctly. What do you think about that?
Wow thats a good one,,, have you tried various other ruu that are compatable with your phone? What is the ruu version you tried
? oreo? nougot?

I've just tried this one:

I do not have tried other versions cause I wasn't sure which ones are matching my phone. I'm downloading this version as OTA right know with R1 special.
Just to give OTA update a try and maybe that R1 fixes my problem.
Is that a pie ruu? Where you on pie? Can you list your cid,,mid?

Yes it is. Yes I was already on this stage. I never had problems since I tried to restart the phone. It just booted one more time but I had to restart again. Since that day it doesn't boot anymore.
yes I can tell you.

at the download mode screen just type fastboot getvar all

I also see from that screen that your bootloader is locked which pretty much leaves other solutions impossible.

Yes I first have to connect to laptop. I'm at work and don't know what they think when I'm rooting my phone at work. But so what
I'll give it a try.
Yes I know it's locked but I have nothing against an unlock. Just did it not cause everythin was working and I was really okay with the official software.
If you can give me an advise how to unlock I can do. No problem.

If you were unlocked and rooted you could try to downgrade to oreo or nougat, at this point with it being locked thats impossible. Hopefully someone else has more knowledge than me and can give you better advise. Maybe keep trying different ruus.
