I have an LG Stylo from MetroPCS. I have first I rooted, then twrp, following the Katana custom rom. Exposed came pre-installed. I attempted to install it. Next came the time to reboot the phone via exposed. Unfortunately I have oem locked, forgetting to leaving it unlocked. When I clicked reboot, the phone turned off but never turned rebooted past the LG screen again. All it will do now is keep flashing something like a secure booting error. There are numbers on the top left side of the screen flashing. I tried using the hard keys but it didn't help. What I did was when I turned the phone on I held the power and volume down buttons and when I saw the LG screen, I quickly let go and held them in again. This got me to the phone asking me if I want a factory reset. Normally by choosing yes, the phone boots into twrp but in my case the phone went back to the flashing numbers LG screen. I tried connecting the phone to a computer but when I plugged the phone into the USB it wouldn't show in my computer, even when I installed LG drivers. If I cannot fix this phone, I will have to pay a lot of money. Can someone please let me know whether this phone can really be fixed?

You are going to have to get phone in download mode and use the LG flash tool to flash it back to factory. Look here for guidance, but be aware this is for a boost model.
Thank you very much for your help. I'm just scared that the phone won't respond to another computer but I'll try. But I have another issue. My LG is one that has the buttons on the bottom. The only way that I know of trying to get the phone into recovery mode is to do it like I described before. But my phone will not go into my twrp.

Hi guys,
My nexus 5 power button got stuck inside though it clicks well from outside. Problem with this is that the phone reboots continuously. This is a common problem for nexus 5. I fixed this problem by replacing the power button unit on the motherboard.
But now, the phone boots on until the colorful dots circling (lollipop booting) and stays there forever without going any further.(i guess its a boot loop)
I have never rooted my phone or done any tinkering with it.
I have not enabled USB debugging unfortunately and now am not able to change that. At least i don't know how to from bootloader.
I am able to get to the bootloader and get it to unlocked state. But i am not able to flash any image as the bootloader reboots and gets locked again and then i get "flash write failure" for all the commands.
How do i get past this, or is my phone bricked for good?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Hi Guys,
This is the first time i have had to contact a forum as my new samsung S6 has really disappointed me. The device is stuck on the first screen and wont even boot upto samsung screen. I can only go into the download mode but cant go to recovery mode no matter what. I have tried flashing stock ROM but it has not worked and unfortunately i bought this from someone so cant even go into claim warranty. Please help me with anything that can be done to fix this.

Hi,
i put my phone on fast charging and the phone never started again. I had seen similar problem before where after fast charging my phone would restart once or twice with the entry screen facing blown up pixels and phone acting funny. But this time around after some resarts it just wont go anywhere ahead of the first samsung screen.

I have an identical problem as above. Unfortunately Smart Switch will not recognize the device. When I put in the model and S/N manually it tells me the S/N is invalid. Samsung has been zero help with this.
I can access the download screen by pressing vol down + home + pwr, and I have reinstalled the latest update (5.1.1) which I had installed 2 months ago, but it still hangs after the restart.
I cannot power down the phone with the pwr button.
I cannot access recovery mode nor get it to be recognized via adb. It simply does not move past the first screen.
I am overseas (Indonesia) and the local Samsung Repair Center will not touch the S6 Active (despite it being under warranty). Shipping it to the US service center is unfeasible.
Any ideas on what I can do to even just get it to recovery mode? I was hoping to perform a factory reset as I (luckily!) transferred all my important docs and images/vids off the phone. I'm willing to wipe the puppy clean and start over, if it will only let me!
PS: I don't consider myself a developer, but I do have plenty of experience rooting and moding phones, and ironically, this unrooted, legitimate, Knox-approved phone is only thing that has ever stumped me like this!
Update: I managed to get it to BEGIN the recovery boot process... It showed the robot with the spinning thing for a few seconds while in the upper left corner it says "installing updates...". After about 3 seconds the screen goes blank and it restarts at the Samsung S6 Active and hangs. Now when I try to enter recovery mode it cycles through like it is attempting to start recovery mode but just ends up back at the first screen again...
im facing the same problem, anyone can help us please ?
U can't flash stock firmware over old firmware, you've gotta wipe first, and since you can't get into recovery, flash twrp and format data it worked for me, and since you don't have warranty, it won't matter unless u wanna use Samsung pay, don't flash twrp if u want to keep your Knox counter!!! It'll trip it 0x1 hope I helped

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
I am curious what this whole kabam is...is it a kdz? If so, you can grab an emergency tool, put the phone into download mode (IIRC, hold down the volume down button while the phone is turned off and insert the MicroUSB end of the cable (with your PC on the other end). With the right settings on the emergency tool, and with the kdz loaded, you can flash back to stock.
At any rate, I would explain your situation over here (if nothing more than a warning for others, you should find your assistance there as well):

Hey thank you for checking out this thread..
I have bricked my phone, G FLex 2 LS996, unfortunately I can't get away from the boot screen. [The one with the LG Logo on it]
I tried using Kingo Root without knowing the consequences of rooting.
The only Solution I tried is wiping the data and going back to the phone's Factory Default settings which I did when going through the phone's hard reset.
I thought that would end my problem. Unfortunately, even after restoring the phone's Factory Default settings I am still stuck at the boot screen.
I have no knowledge working with mobile phones. So.. can I kindly ask for your help and guidance.. Thank you so much.

You need to flash firmware again. To enter download mode you hold vol up and connect USB cabel. Like here - http://www.hard-reset.mobi/lg-g-flex-2-download-mode/
Then you install firmware from LGUP software. Install phone drivers first and download right firmware for your model.
Here seams to be some stuff for LS996 - https://boycracked.com/2016/10/01/official-lg-g-flex-2-sprint-ls996-stock-rom/
Hope it helps
Hello everyone
Please help me
I have a Moto g Sylus 5g
I was following this tutorial https://www.getdroidtips.com/lineage-os-19-moto-g-stylus-5g/
to download a custom room for my Motorola device and then after I finished the installation of the room when I was on TWRP screen I've pressed recovery and then my phone went black screen nothing works..
But it didn't work. Now my phone is bricked. It's powered off and I can't turn it on again
It doesn't respond to anything
Pressing Powerbutton - Nothing
Pressing Power + Volume Up/Down - Nothing
Hold Volume down and connect to PC - Nothing
Connect to the Adapter for charging - only showing the Led light
ADB doesn't recognize the phone
Flashtool responds "Device disconnected"
So I can't flash back stock ROM
Please help me out. What went wrong? How can I fix it? Is it repairable or is my phone hard bricked?
Thank you for your answers
Hello friend, honestly I am new to this. In fact I'm looking for how to unlock my moto g stylus 5g xt2131-1 from metropcs to use it with a mobile operator in Colombia. But given your problem, and everything I've researched recently, I would say you could check this video:
in which revive a moto g8+, although it is a different version, it should work if you do the steps as indicated.
Join Electimons telegram https://t.me/electimonrel someone might be able to help.
Don't follow random guides and guides for other phones.
Yep my phone did the same thing. There is some glitch with TWRP for this phone that hard bricks the device. There are several posts here with the same issue. I tried what this video suggestion with every combination of contacts on the board. I bought an EDL cable as well and nothing would bring it back to life. I cannot recommend TWRP for this phone at this time.

Yes, Same. Nothing worked with it. I bought a new phone. I hope we find something in the future to fix it.
