I have been reading everything I can find and tried to figure it out myself but the more I read the more questions I have and the less sure I am about trying any of the things I have read.
My problem is with an lg tribute from the company called Textnow. My friend ordered the phone from them and was having some issue she decided to try to fix by doing a factory reset which caused it to be stuck on the Lg boot logo. I tried booting to recovery to fix it. The recovery was TWRP. I was under the impression that Twrp was a custom recovery program that was installed after unlocking boot loader. Best I can tell is the phone was already rooted by the company. Does this sound right?
I messed with it for while but couldn't get anywhere with it because I haven't any knowledge of rooting except what I read . I noticed it kept saying something about simulating actions and figured that out but now after trying to back up and restore and poking around that it says there is no os , I was hoping someone could help me figure out where to go from here as it isn't my phone and I would hate to damage it although my friend keeps telling me to just try whatever no big loss because she can't use it like it is so. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone,
I am stuck in a very frustrating dilemma with my Nexus 5 and need help very badly. I somehow managed to delete my entire OS using TWRP. Now my phone is constantly stuck on the Google logo screen. I am able to get into the bootloader screen, but any further action from there only takes me back to the frozen Google logo screen. I have spent the last several hours researching this issue and found many, many forum posts about solving this same issue, but I either don't understand the things people are suggesting or what I am able to understand, does not work for my phone.
So far I have messed around with the Wugs Toolkit thing but not sure what is right step for me considering almost everything requires me to go into my phone settings to mess with the USB debugging mode....since I cannot even boot my phone I am obviously unable to do this step.
I also have read about pushing a ROM file onto my phone but I'm not quite sure how to do this and how I know it even worked.
Please, can anyone give me any pointers/step-by-step guides? Thank you so much...

1) don't use toolkits
2) USB debugging only works in Android anyway
3) just adb push a ROM to /sdcard and flash it. All you need to know is in my signature

Hello Everybody!
I would like to kindly ask you for some help regarding my Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500 phone. The phone has been locked in a network and further more, in the last months has experienced the autorestart issue. I have read other threads here (before posting this one) and I have seen that other people experience the phone vibrating and continuing to restart in the first two screens. Also, if battery had been taken out, when putting it back in the phone would restart.
After reading the possible solutions here, I have hoped that installing a new ROM on the phone might solve this problem. I have also installed the CWM-based recovery and I believe I have managed to root it. (I am not an expert, but I have managed to root before two Samsung phones after the instructions given here - everything worked flawlessly).
However, yesterday, after obtaining a successful install screen from the version Inspiration_Rom_V18_Kitkat_Edition.zip downloade from this forum, I am stuck with my phone in the CWM-based Recovery v.5.0.2.8 screen. I have tried to install other ROM stable versions from the forum but I seem not to be able to get rid of this screen.
Might I want to add that the phone escaped the former rebooting issue, the battery and the power button seem to work fine now. For example I can shut the phone down, I can restart it, if I take the battery out and put it back in, it will not automatically start. Is there still hope? Have i bricked it?
Please advise and excuse me if I have written anything stupid,
Vlad

Thanks so much! Succeeded! I have access to my phone again and it is rooted.
However, I did not get rid of the VODAFONE ROMANIAN NETWORK LOCK.
Can I also do this at home?
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
Need help on pixel boot loop, version 7.1.2, i have been searching for hours, found answers that give me hope and some that dont. please someone help!!!
Hey guys, im extremely new to this rooting and stuff, however, my son seemed to think he is a professional ( he is not and doesnt knoow much more than i do when it comes to this stuff) my understanding is that he was attempting to root the google pixel using this way youtube.com/watch?v=iQQF3b1ttp0,which is from "HIGHONANDROID" from what i am aware , there has been nothing added to the phone like what most ppl are saying so to my knowledge supersu or twrp neither are downloaded onto the phone. he tells me he went as far as "fastboot flash unlock?" than attempted the "fastboot boot boot-to-root.img" the phone restarted went as far as google logo with black line accross than restarts all over. which it is now continually doing, it did show the warning about the thing being unlocked and what have you so he tried to "re-lock" it by doing a "flash lock?" if that makes any sense?? litterally got the phone 2 days ago can anyone please help me out. and please please dumb it down. My knowledge is quite limited with this stuff. thank you in advance.
