So two days ago my phone started to act up, first it rebooted while I was in the Play Store for no reason then when it rebooted it kept saying "Lockscreen has stopped working" and wouldn't stop doing that. I tried pulling up a backup I made on TWRP (Rooted) but it just did the same thing and wouldn't let me open the settings app when I had the chance. Then I did a Factory Reset but it just made things worse, it booted it up but when I had to choose a language it rebooted and kept doing it. After that I did a full wipe and went I tried to reboot it said I had no OS and now I'm stuck with just TWRP. And I have just found out earlier today that my bootloader is locked. So what could I possibly do? Thank you in advance for those who are able to help.

Yes I have and It does not do anything, I tried unlocking it manually and with a toolkit but no results. Also I have pushed CM11s to the phone and tried to flash it but no luck.

I was stuck in the same situation, unlocking via fastboot just rebooted and did nothing, however I managed to unlock the bootloader by flashing this in recovery...

The the device came in today and when I turn it on The Google logo comes, turns off and restarts for a boot loop. I even did a full restore using the recovery toolkit like swoggers and even then no luck. I was able to install twrp with no issue. Anyone have the same issue ?
Thanks
Anyone?

I had problems AFTER I installed TWRP, but before that it booted just fine.
My problems started after unlocking the bootloader and installing TWRP. Try wiping as much as possible (except System) with TWRP. I read somewhere it's a problem with the cache partition. I also went into "Mount" in TWRP (I think that's what it's called) and mounted System. I'm telling you all this from memory, not sure exactly how I fixed it, but eventually I was able to turn the phone on.
Hopefully this is the reason you're having problems. It'd be frustrating to have to try and get another one from the Goog.
I went to bed last night, did what I normally do, set my alarm and turned on sleep tracking. I woke up this morning to find that my phone had booted back into TWRP. I rebooted and found that after the LG screen it goes directly into TWRP which had replaced factory reset using bump. I tried to restore the phone using a saved backup and that didn't work. I tried to wipe it then restore and that didn't work. I am afraid that my phone is a lost cause and that I cannot get a replacement due to it booting to the TWRP screen every time it is turned on. The phone had been working fine for the past week since I had installed TWRP. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do or what might have caused this?
Look in the lg g3 international forum there is a fix there your phone tried to flash a ota update

Sounds awesome thanks.
All the times that I tried to it to flash a ROM itself it doesn't do it but it does it by itself.
Here is a link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2908290 after you fix it freeze software update with titanium backup
I cannot get the first step to work. ADB cannot see the device. I tried installing the Google USB Driver but that didn't work and TWRP ADB sideload doesn't work either.
EDIT: I put the zip on my phone using MTP and flashed it using TWRP but it still stuck booting into TWRP.
EDIT 2: Tried one more time again after flashing my backup ROM. Now it loads.
I can't help more on a road trip sorry
Try this, worked for me
Go to this website and do what ot says. http://forum.xda-developers.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=57453756 this should fix it. I had the same issue and this worked :good: sorry if im late.
Urgent help reqd
randomly my nexus 5 restarted
google came on screen and now only those four animated circles are showing up and the phone doesnt go further
went in bootloader but cant wipe cache, cant format, or anything else from there.
usb debuggng must be off as far as i remember
trying to flash through sdk manager. have downloaded image. but stops at "waiting for device" in cmd and it doesnt go any further than that. even tried doing it manually through cmd.
when the phone is connected it is showing the drivers but it isnt installng and can see the yellow exclamation.
manually downloaded the drivers and tried installing manually but shows drivers are up to date.
uninstalled driver and reinstalled but same issue. it is connected to usb 2.0.
now how do i get it to work?
I have tried all the options i could search for on this forum but none of them solved my issue.
Is the bootloader unlocked?
How do i check that?
Ok got it
It is locked
How do i unlock?
I checked some unlocking bootloader threads but they all require usb debugging to be on.
My phone is not starting at all so i cannot do that
How do i go about it now
Tried nexus root toolkit. It isnt detecting the device.
Unlocking will wipe you device.
Google themselves have a guide on how to flash, not sure why you are using toolkits.
Also, you will wipe your device, if you haven't already. Make sure you have the right drivers, make sure you get the device to come up under "fastboot devices"
Already tried all methods mentioned by google or xda.
If you read my initial post my phone is not getting detected as well but shows installing drivers when connected but the installation fails.
Manually install the correct drivers.
Tried that but i get the error that you already have latest drivers. But its not detecting the phone
Try removing the drivers and reinstalling
Also, try different USB ports and cables.
Did all of that a number of times. Still no luck
Other phones are getting connected and detected just fine.

Hi all, i have a similar problem
this morning my n5 boots into "optimizing apps", but stops when reach around 15/20 apps and reboot (3 or 4 times)...
Now, only keeps in android animation like useruser12.
I can see my data in TWRP, battery 95%...
I wipe cache/dalvik... nothing
I reflash the kernel (ElementalX 6.17), still nothing
Any ideas?
PS: latest news. After make a backup, I made a factory reset and restore a system-boot-cache partition from old backup. Now the phone boots but i hate lose all my data xD. I want try to solve my problem using my "corrupted" backup for avoid losing data. If that fails, I can always restore this functional backup. Any ideas again?
Used the nexus root toolkit.managed to unlock bootloader but immediately the device reboots and goes into the bootloop again.
Tried the flash stock + unroot function as well which detected my factory image and everything went smooth till it came back to unlocking the bootloader and rebooting the device after that and again went into the bootloop
Though i have installed the drivers, on reboot windows 7 automatically starts installing the mtp usb device driver but fails. Manually downloaded the drivers and installed as well.
Still its not worked and whatever i do it comes back and get stuck at the bootloop.
Any expert can give a solution? Thanks
After unlocking the bootloader, does the bootloader relock when the phone is rebooted? If it does, the memory chip is defective.
Phone doesnt reboot completely.goes into a loop after the google logo and doesnt go further.
If i switch off the phone midway here without it booting up and then restart the bootloader then its locked again.
But what i read was that the process of complete reboot needs to finish and i need to turn on usb debugging. So is it because of that the bootloader locks again?
Anyways, this what im facing

Lucky that you could do a factory reset. I wasnt even able to do that from the bootloader.

Sorry, i did it via TWRP.
If the bootloader relocks itself upon reboot, it's the memory chip that is damaged.
Hello, I need serious help with my phone.
So, after a long while of having my phone rooted, and had a case of boot loop with twrp, I decided to go back to stock os and hung up the root days. I thought i did it right by getting a stock os and flashed it, and it worked for couple months, until yesterday.
My phone keeps going into Cyanogen Recovery, I tried rebooting so many times, once it did boot up to OS, but it went back after i restarted phone or it died.
Now I can't no longer get back, I thought factory resetting will work but it didn't. (Tried both wipe cache partition and Full factory reset option from the recovery) I found unroot your phone toolkits, thinking it could help fix my problem and just unroot/ give me back to OS (I wished i found this before flashing that custom stock rom).
But the toolkit doesn't work for me, it finds adb devices, but it cant find fast boot devices, because my phone cant even go into fast boot.
I tried manual, and the option from the recovery, it keeps going back to recovery. I have an option for apply update, and then apply from ADB, that was the only way for my pc to recognize my phone from adb devices. Any clues on how to fix?

Will try, Ill respond back if anything happens!
Hmm I'm still having trouble because, I can't get into fast boot for some reason. It's keep going back to Cyanogen recovery. It has the option to reload into bootloader, but goes into cyanogen recovery again.
There is an option in dev options, uncheck the "update cyanogen recovery" and flash twrp again

So I was testing custom roms yesterday but decided to go back.
My old lockscreen pattern wasnt working so i googled it and deleted lockscreen.db
After that the phone booted corrctly but after i choose language it gets stuck on just a sec screen.
I tried reinstalling the rom but nothing seems to help.
Any ideas or how to just skip the setup wizard?
You probably messed up your encryption , wipe data and do a reset factory then.

I faced this problem and solved it by factory reset without flashing twrp after reset
Sorry for bad English
