[Q] One Week trying to save a P920 and Failed [ Help Appreciated ]

Hello Everyone,
So I've been dealing with a P920 for the last 7 days trying to Flash it and it's not working.
1- Device is booting to Android but all applications are crashing ( unexpected error com.x.x ) force close.
2- I tried LG recover mode, phone flashed but once successful and rebooted, same error upon loading desktop.
3- Tried rooting the phone with SuperOneClick2.3 ; Rooting successful, upon reboot, rooting is lost
4- Downloaded KDZ original firmware V21A Europe based from lg-firmware site and used offline installation ( shttps + modified host file etc..) . Installation successful and flashing is OK; rebooting = same error on startup.
5- Downloaded firmware V10B and flashed it successfully. Rebooted, phone version is still showing V21A !
6- Rooted phone + installed CWM -> successful, rebooted, it's gone.
Now this is the first time since 10 years that I get into such thing and the device is getting me on my nerves.
Any idea or advice is much appreciated!

Well
Looks like a hardware issue. ROM, RAM, Internal memory. U need to find a way to delete partitions and re do them somehow. Have no idea if there is a software for that. I had it for my SGS. It should help.
Just repartition whole internal memory.
UPDATE:
Here you go ! Good Luck ! and tell us did it worked for you

Remember not to switch internet with external memory or u will brick it totally!

Great, I will give it a try thanks.
Do you think I will have to delete all partitions and create them again ? or I should only specific ones ?

Have no idea. Try to make some research I don't want to give you wrong answer. Should be only one where rom data is, but I'm not sure.

Hello MinedSafe; As I mentioned earlier, whenever I root the device and reboot, it's not rooted anymore. It is not possible to install CWM ( changes are not applied )
I have managed to root the device and tried the parted command, I get command not found.
I have noticed that once I get into the stock recover and wipe everything, I do not get the first welcome screen to setup the device, it's booting with the same error.
I have started to lose hope. Device is no longer under warranty

Have you try to recover it from LG mobile support tools ?

Yes, I tried, it downloaded 404 MBs and flashed the device. When it boots, it still goes into the menu as if i have not done any update. No first setup screen and the crashing application error shows up.

I think i have the same problem!!! and i cant format data.

It looks like the partitions are damaged or eprom/rom ( no commands ) memory is gone. So the only way is to send this to LG service where they can upgrade/rapair with their 'hardware' tools. If you try on you own you might get to a stage where even they wont be able to fix it.
What kind of software you where putting in to it ? Froyo or GB ?

Another person, so its now more likely then when upgrading the partition table was screwed up. It could be a mistake in addressing the memory when flashing.

2.3.5 Europe open V21A !
So basically this is what we call " bricked device " ?

Yep, sorry to say that. Depends on where you live, but the cost of repair should not be to high.

Is someone here know what is the adress to send my phone to get fix in europ?

[Q] I used Root uninstaller to remove bloatware, but the apps are still lingering.

I semi-bricked my Optimus One earlier today, but fixed it via KDZ and the India rom fix..
Re-rooted..
and used Root Uninstaller to remove the Bollywood bloatware like I did before..
only this time, all the apps I uninstalled, are still showing in my installed list, but with the "SD card" icon..
they're NOT on the card, I made sure of that..
but idk where to find them in the filesystem..
they're taking up space that I don't really have, y'know.
how would I go about remedying this?
(I'll post a screenshot later, when the site will let me.)

It's possible that your root didn't take or the system partition didn't get remounted RW. System Apps reside in /system/app . User apps reside in /data/app .

The root did take, I confirmed that.
and the files are not in those locations..
heres the screenshot of what one looks like in app list..

I'm at a loss then. I've never experienced the issue you are facing. You rebooted after removing those apps? Are you using some kind of *2SD script?

Yup, I rebooted.
no, I'm not using any scripts or anything..
The only thing I have my phone doing that it "shouldn't" is the root.
am I going to have to re-flash it, and try to remove them again?
Also, the apps in question are not in the list when I go through Root Uninstaller again.
I'm guessing there's something better than RU, but I just don't know what it is yet xD

Possibly as a last resort. Do you have a custom recovery installed? If so, try wiping cache and Dalvik cache and then reboot. The reboot will take a few minutes as Android will need to rebuild the caches.

I can understand that. Did you use ROM Manager to try and install recovery? I've written a tool for Windows that can flash recoveries via fastboot and fastboot mode. If you're interested, it's called Android Flash Recovery and a link to it's thread can be found in my signature.

What version of Android is on your device? 2.2 is Froyo which is old baseband. 2.3 is GingerBread which is new baseband.
Download my tool. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled on the device. Complete instructions are in the download archive. It's up to you tho.

I have used Root Uninstaller for 11/2 years on my Optimus V. The Uninstaller doesn't work that well.
I just use it because it auto saves all downloaded apk's, every version. I have to manually delete any saved versions.
Great when an update to an app is borked, or too slow of a data connection to re-install Titanium Backup after a ROM flash (I go to folder on SD card and move TB apk to root of SD card, then install).
Try using Link2SD
It has worked flawlessly to delete any unwanted pre-installed apps from ROM developers and Google Apps.

fastboot is a little weird. Boot device into fastboot mode, but not connected to PC. Then connect to PC after getting into fastboot mode.

I think I've seen something like that before. I think it's when the APK is gone but the cache, dalvik etc for the app is still there.
If you haven't yet done anything hardcore to your phone. EG: Reflashing.
And can still boot into your ROM then you might wanna give Clean Master a go.
It's here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cleanmaster.mguard&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
It's got a Residual Files cleaner which might get rid of the files that are causing your problems

So, Fastboot before hooking up the phone, gives me a driver searching Windows update for "Android"... I'm guessing that something is missing, yes?

Clean Master didn't help at all, "Residual Files" only searched the SD card, even though the apps in question are taking up system space.
Thanks anyway Cranky...
might use that later for future uninstalls though.

Yeah, the driver from LG.
Go Here.
Scroll down to Manuals & Download, Software Update tab and then "Install the USB DRIVER"
Just get the driver, don't worry about the LG Mobile Support Tool. That's for updating the stock ROM.
Officially but there are no official updates since GB.

[Q] Nexus 5 Bootloop

So let me start by saying I am 100% a noob, and I have read many threads trying to get to the bottom of my problem to no avail. I am sorry if there is a solution for my problem somewhere, I've been working on this issue for 24 hours and have yet to find it.
My girlfriend was apparently using google maps on here relatively new phone (running 5.0.1) and it crashed. Upon restarting it was stuck on the coloured dots screen for several hours. She has not installed any third party apps, only those from the playstore and not too many of them at that.
I tried factory reset and received a bunch of errors about failing to load the E:// or something like that. The phone still would not boot up.
I downloaded minimal fastboot thinger on my windows 8.1 laptop and tried to flash a new image of 5.0.1 on it, IIRC I received errors about E:// again
Got Wugfresh NRT and tried TWRP wiped all (still saw some stuff about E:// failing to mount and such) then tried to unroot flash stock with soft brick/bootloop checked.
Still bootlooped for over an hour when I started it up.
Tried flashing 4.4.4 instead. It worked. Phone booted up. Gallery/Camera do not work however at this point. Tried updating to 5.0.1.... phone restarted bootloop for 8 hours and counting.
Flashed 4.4.4 again, Followed Full Driver Installation Guide in NRT exactly. Tried Flash Stock + Unroot with Device is on/Normal checked this time instead. Now it has been colored dots screen for about 20 minutes.
So I can load 4.4.4 but no matter how I've tried to install lollipop 5.0.1, it stays on booting screen forever.
What do?
Thank you so much in advance and apologies for being a noob.
EDIT: More googling today. Looks like my E:/Persist partition is corrupted or something, trying to figure out how to repair it right now.

If I can bet it must be a corrupted persist partition. Lollipop will not boot if its gets corrupted but kitkat will do. If you could tell what is the actual error you see in twrp or cwm recovery then we could identfy the actual problem. But I am 90% sure the mount error is about persist partition.

I'm actually looking at that right now! Downloading Java and Android SDK atm. Of course still a little shaky on a couple terms in your guide hopefully I can sort it out. Really confused as to how Google Maps on a vanilla nexus 5 could corrupt a partition like that, its all google endorsed and official. They should be fixing my phone not me lol.

Thanks for the offer. I'll try on my own and get back to you maybe tomorrow if I can't get it down.

Alright so I am definitely having problems running adb shell. even if I change the directory in cmd to my adb.exe location (android\android-sdk\platform-tools) I keep getting the error adb shell is not a recognized blah blah blah....
NVM got it working. Whenever I get frustrated enough to make a post I end up finally finding a solution.

ALRIGHT I have Lollipop up and running thanks to your guide on fixing persist partition. Thank you so much! Question: I have a nexus 5 and it does not have an sd card. I'm not sure how to proceed in doing the steps you described involving mac addresses. I did use a hex editor and make those files, but not sure where to put them in my phones internal storage, and how to direct adb to said location. Any help with that?

Just copy them to the root of your internal storage, then follow the guide.
I mean you just open the phone's internal storage from your PC and you dont open any folder. You just copy it there.
The guide is for nexus 5, but some people refer to the internal storage as sdcard too. I know it is a bit confusing. Thanks to point it out. I will make clear in my guide now.

AH I see ok I will do that tonight. Ran in to another problem though it may be related to the mac address thing I haven't done yet, not sure how that all works. The phone randomly restarts every few minutes and it won't connect to the carrier either. Also if it matters I left the boot loader unlocked for now until the phone is working properly, if that affects anything.

The lock state of the bootloader does not matter, but this random reboots after a few minutes is something to worry about. Your phone should not do that after formating persist partition.

[SOLVED] Nexus 5 32Gb won't go back to full internal storage. Tried everything!

So after a few weeks after the launch of the Marshmallow uptade, I flashed the stock image with fastboot using a Mac and everything gone flawlessly, until I saw my internal storage. My 32Gb nexus became a 16Gb model.
I search in EVERY Forum I found on the internet, and I have good skills on recovering android phones with software problems, all the "how-to's" I found were with very easy instructions, but NONE of then worked for me.
Ive tried EVERYTHING I found on the internet. Do a factory reset, tried to resize the partition using TWRP, flashed manually all the partitions, flashed the stock image again and again many times, flashed customs roms, tried to erase the userdata, cache and system partitions tons of times using flashtool on windows, mac and linux and NOTHING worked. In all the process my phone started with no problems, but my internal storage stayed 12,55gb. My Bootloader shows 32Gb model, the IMEI on LG database shows 32Gb model AND the logic board indicates a 32Gb model... I really don't know what to do! Anyone can save me???? Thanks!
In advance information, I followed every step on this guide at least 10 times, and didn't work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
I was thinking in the possibility of an custom Userdata partition, only for the 32Gb model, that I can flash manually or a program, like GParted, that I can manually resize the data partition.
I'm really desesperate here, so sorry for any english mistakes, since I speak portuguese, or any dumb idea.
Thanks for any help!
-------------------------------------- FOUND THE SOLUTION! ----------------------------------------------
After WEEKS trying to realize what the hell happened and rethinking every possible form to regain my full storage, I've found the solution.
Fiddling with the partitions on the phone, i learned that there is a partition on the system, that "informs" the userdata that the phone is a 16Gb or a 32Gb variant, and it's called "Primary GPT".
I realized that the guy who sold to me, recovered the phone from an brick it suffered, but he used a 16Gb model GTP partition to reinstall the bootloaders and the system, so, no matter how many different process I tried, I would NEVER recognizes the 32Gb, because THIS partition was telling the system that it was a 16Gb model.
(Little of a noob explain but that was the way I got it...)
So all I had to do was use this thread to reflash the correct GPT partition:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...-unbrick-nexus-5-stucked-qualcomm-hs-t3043301
And then, reflash the complete system image file, and after the boot, my phone recognized the 32Gb internal storage again!
Thank you guys for the effort in sorting out any way to help me, I hope this thread can help someone else facing the same problem in the future!
Peace!

Did you flash the userdata.img file too?

Tried everything I could do... Flashed userdata partition, erased the partition with fastboot then entered in recovery mode (stock and custom) and then format the userdata from there, doing that by doing a factory reset and wiping cache partition and nothing...
Any other idea what it could be?

Unfortunately, I have no idea why this happened or how to fix it as I only have the 16 GB version.

seriously guys, anybody to save my day?

Have you tried factory reset and wiping cache from STOCK recovery? That always works for me.

Try using flash-all.bat in Windows. Part of the stock favor image. Make sure to take backup before doing it though

Had this happen once and had to factory reset from stock recovery like he said above. Worked like a charm!

There is no toolkit, even knowing its a bad idea to use those things but, since Im out of options, anyone can tell me one that can help me?
Thanks guys btw!

I had this problem with a couple devices on lollipop, typing the command below in a terminal fixed it. Reboot afterwards.
su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0

can you explain what is the function of this line? Tried here and everything stayed the same
Thanks!

Damn... that's weird.
Is it possible to format userdata? Like, for example, "fastboot format userdata"? I don't really know, just shooting in the dark by this point now.

I believe it's a way of restoring data or storage to it's original configuration. Also had this problem on my 32gb N5 early on, unfortunately I can't remember what I did that time to get it back.

Yes, I did this process three times I think, format userdata and erase userdata, none of then resolved the issue

I tried this code using the terminal on the phone, rebooted and the storage stayed the same, I'll try to do the same process using adb shell from my windows computer, since I have the "light"version of adb and fastboot installed on my mac and the adb shell comand is giving me the "offline" error...
I'll get back here with any updates.
thanks in advance guys! Hope this comand works! :highfive:

Well... Tried with my windows computer, and next with my Mac, with the command line given and.... Nope. Nothing changed.

I know it's not great but if your desperate....
I've always done things manually but there comes a time when your willing to try whatever to fix your phone as they don't come cheap, so if I could recommend a toolkit that has saved my ass more than once and has worked flawlessly for me every time maybe it could help you too.

It's called Nexus Root Toolkit and its by the developer wugfresh. Try this if you'd like, if not I hope you find a solution. This kit has everything you can think of that could help you with rooting, or returning to stock and relocking. Best of luck with your journey!

The wrong size memory issue, 16 Gb instead of 32, is an old issue. It can be solved by booting into the stock recovery then clearing cache and then doing a factory reset. Note, this will wipe your device.

what kind of a backup? a twrp one? i cant lose data i need to save it. look ive already had this once and someone helped me when this encryption thing was broken and it worked out. please i need to save my data like photos and everything in the internal storage
here i can describe what i did again
hello. here is what i did: i downloaded the official 9.0.7 rom to my phone, went to recovery, wiped everything apart from internal storage. then i installed the rom, after that twrp and then magisk. when i booted into system it worked but i got stuck on the screen that said "checking info". it went on for 3 minutes and then it said "there was an error communicating with google servers please try again later". i tried it 5 times nothing changed and i know this is a common problem that won't fix by itself so i went into recovery and tried to restore a backup that i created, but it didnt boot into system instead it said that my device was corrupt and booted back to recovery. ive had encryption enabled and because of that all the files were unreadable and my blu spark twrp didnt ask for a password. now i cant flash from my phone but when i try to flash the official rom from my flash card then i do twrp and then magisk and i try to boot into system it just sends me back into recovery every time no matter what i try and because of encryption all my files on the phone are unreadable. what to do?

You could try using the adb pull command to pull the contents of the folder or folders with your pictures from the phone to your computer. Then, if you have to do something that wipes your internal storage, at least you'll have the pictures. You can do this with your whole /sdcard or any folders in it if you need to, not just for pictures.
You might not be bricked as badly as you fear. Try this:
Make sure you have the latest version of TWRP, which is, I think, 3.3.1-3. The current blu_spark version might be fine, too, but people were having problems with a recent version of that.
Boot to TWRP.
Install OOS 9.07.
Flash TWRP.
Reboot to recovery.
Flash OOS 9.07 again.
Flash TWRP again.
Reboot to recovery.
Flash Magisk.
Reboot to system.

I think you can't do nothing for save your data, but situation is less serious than i was believing... You can copy with adb pull command but data will stay encrypted... Now you have to
1) FORMAT data, not WIPE but FORMAT
2) reboot to recovery
2a) now you can use MTP from recovery and copy whatever you want from your PC to device
3) flash oos 9.0.7 then TWRP, reboot recovery
4) again same thing, flash oos 9.0.7 then TWRP, reboot recovery
5) to avoid this problem again now i suggest you to flash latest magisk and then oos_noverity for disable force encryption (link to 3d down below)
6) reboot system
6a) if everything is going on right side, your phone will reboot twice before startup android
7) Check your google photo backup, if you had left it default, you can have your photos back
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/tutorial-decrypt-flash-rom-pie-oreo-roms-t3838643
With phone decrypted you'll never go through this problem again and you can downgrade security patch too without lose nothing

Why don't you just boot to the other partition (A/B partitioning is directly benefiting situations like this)?
Why are you wiping system when you are upgrading, just dirty flash? Which 9.0.7 zip did you download, incremental or full?

guys i did something through adb i launched it and now the system is there and everything is gone it says 115 gb free out of 116 please tell me isnt there a method like fbi uses to restore formatted hard drives even after theyve been wiped out? theres supposed to be a way to do it like fbi does with criminals hard drives they still restore them? please help im having a mental breakdown right now my heart hurts bad im shaking im dizzy my hands are shaking too that phone was my life

A) read my previous post....
B) "guys i did something through adb i launched it and now the system and there and everything is gone"................. yeah, going to go with a hard no on that.
B1) what did you do in adb
C) FBI here, "KÄDET YLÖS, HOUSUT ALAS!" - translates roughly to "hands up, pants down" - want to buy my book? https://kauppa.intokustannus.fi/kirja/kadet_ylos_housut_alas/
Once again, did you try booting to your other partition (A/B)? Or have you probed your hardware so hardly with software softly that you have 115 gb free out of 116..... sounds like a issue even fbi cannot solve now.....
Should have just paid me for letting you know how to upload pictures before that chain of events.
Then maybe you wouldn't have been shaking and dizzy from using your hands so much (not sure what you were doing... doesn't sound safe, it's not even a week before November), but I would call a doctor.
EDIT: I would sell you FBI/NSA tool from my friends in Estonia... but if you are just going to "i did something in through adb, ..." it, will not be worth your while.
Plus you never paid me for telling you how to upload a picture to a forum, maybe practice that before restoring encrypted data......

i was busy trying to do something as other people recommended. what was it exactly that you were offering? patching from otg had no effect as it still didn't boot me into system but instead back into recovery. and patching from the phone itself was impossible because of enabled encryption it couldn't read anything. yet you had a way to restore things without losing my data?
