TLDR: LGUP will just straight up not recognize my G5 no matter what. I'll give you five bucks on Paypal for a solution, if that means anything.

Hi guys, I try to avoid posting, but I've searched high and low for an answer and I really can't find it.
I've got a T-Mobile LG G5 H830, that I have recently rooted and installed TWRP on it. Last night, I decided to try changing a value in build.prop, stupidly without making a backup first and after I changed the value and rebooted, stuck at T-Mobile bootscreen, go figure. All I did was change a value from false to true for adoptable storage..
Anyway-- I tried factory resetting, I tried flashing that FLUENCE rom I found somewhere here on XDA, I've tried just about every thing I could, before I gave up and decided it would be easier to just revert back to stock and unroot. I wasn't really utilizing root for more than Titanium Backup anyway.
To the point; I've got the LG UP program installed, I've got the DLL for it installed and inserted, and the appropriate .tot file to flash it back to factory default. No matter what I do, no matter how many different COM ports I try, different drivers I've tried etc, I cannot get it to read my phone in download mode. ADB mode works in TWRP still, but this is driving me insane. The only other phone I have is a busted up BlackBerry Priv, and I want this phone working again asap.
If someone can shed some light on whatever the hell I'm doing wrong, it would mean the world to me.
Please.
P.S: yes I've tried just about every USB port on my computer, and I've tried restarting Windows many times.
you have tried jiggling it?
You know what? Hell, if someone finds me a working solution to my problem, I will personally paypal them five dollars. I just want this fixed. I've had LG G3s brick on me obnoxiously and then never come back from it, I don't know what it is about LG phones.. Samsung phones, Nexus phones, and basically any other Android phones I've worked on aren't nearly this hard to restore and repair.

Use the twrp restore file in the development thread it will revert your build prop back, and from there your phone will work again. Editing build prop is not advised on the H830 has been discussed on numerous threads even before root was established. At least it's only a soft brick .
Have you tried jiggling it perhaps?
so did @wolfu11 get the 5 bucks? his solution should have fixed it.

Not holding my breath lol. That's why I declined any of the root bounty.
Try manually pointing to either the lg drivers, or adb drivers had that same problem when trying to root H830.
Sent from my LG-H830 using XDA-Developers mobile app
IDK if u fixed it or not, but i have a simular issue where LGUP does not recognize my phone. i'm guessing it could be the buildprop could have broken it. i have factory reset my phone, but upon turning on wifi, the phone crashes and i need to factory reset. i am rooted and retain root. My guess is that changing the buildprop causes the phone to be unrecognized. I did backup my buildprop but its stuck in an encrypted backup. Thanks alot gooogle...
Same problem here
I am having the same problem but I never touched my build prop. I rooted and decided to install cm14. When i flashed, none of my partitions are mounting and phone would not boot. I put stock back on and flashed tot and tried mounting partitions and nothing. Now computer doesn't recognize it as well as it will not boot into recovery or android.
I have seen this and I think I fixed it by disabling one of the two, in device manager. 1st listed, iirc.

I used the search function in Root Explorer, but found neither "OTA_Supersonic" or "update.zip"
It must be in one of those folders that need root to view (right now I'm stock no root) like /data or something
DO NOT ACCEPT THE UPDATE FOR NOW ...MORE LATER FROM Matt, Ozzeh,Joshua and zule...

There's an OTA update we just got on the #EVO that breaks the root. Don't install it if you want to root.

Well that sucks...
upload it so the devs can see whazzz up!
Here's a copy of the sprint hero ota that I got at the same time and it supposedly (not gonna test it) breaks root. I'm pretty sure it's really a super cool update to make are phones ten times better
Just got back home. Super glad I saw this thread. I had the guy at radioshack cancel the update when it came up (he had to turn phone on to complete activation, he said).
He mentioned that for the other 6 phones he did that morning, he let the update install

99% of the population is better off with the update due to the storage fix. Rooters are a tiny group of people, relatively speaking.
The guy at Sprint almost ran the update since they do have to turn the phone on to activate it, however since I didn't need anything else he just told me to make sure to update and told me how and even offered. I told him I'd get right on it as I go outside. But yea the OTA is probably best for most consumers buying this device (especially after the conversations that took place this morning) as just about everyone else there this morning just wanted to get the phone switching from various carriers from T-Mobile and ATT and just wanted it to work. There was like one other guy there who was pretty knowledgeable buying the phone outright like I was, but he claimed again he just wants the phone to work no jumping through hoops and knows about rooting but has no intentions to. The guy in charge was emphasizing to his staff to make sure to push the update. I just happened to luck out.
anyone got pre and post ota version numbers so I can confirm my unit hadn't been updated before handing it over? Thanks

I was running flipz stock got the notification last night at like 3am and updated. Not sure if it closed root access because I could still go into the recovery screen and navigate the menus to flash, wipe etc.

That sounds promising. Look at the rom version in the about section of settings. Does it end with a 1 or a 6?

are you able to type su thru adb shell or connectbot on the localhost after applying the OTA while stil using flipz stock with root ROM?
um i tested... OTA applied... Rooted, recovery, NAND backup... it all worked...USB debugging Enabled on plugin. Installed 64bit ADB drivers and boom!
no problem to fear the root loss
um crap... nvm apparently i didnt update...
i swear I downloaded, installed, restarted the phone to allow install... but it shows software number 1.32.651.1.
maybe because I did a factory reset? then that would mean that this update is rather a patch (ie like a cab fix)??
or did the update not apply?

I am very familiar with the process. Rooted, sideloading for apps is all done. I have flashed my device with JM2, JH2, and the 1.2 OC. Now when I try to flash it doesn't work. I tried last night with no luck. I decided to master clear the device since I was having issues and wanted to start back with a fresh device. Now after trying to flash the JH3 from JF6 with Unleash the beast it wont work.
I also tried flashing with one click root, and superrooter from a fresh Odin one click. Usb debugging is enabled, Odin opened and then get into download mode. So my process from when it would work is now not working haha? So beyond my confusion of what I might be forgetting can anyone think of something that might help? I didn't want to put this in the dev section since there is nothing specifically made up for odin 3, only odin one click restore.
Your drivers are messed up... grab the ones from the odin thread and reinstall with the phone plugged in and in download mode.

Reloaded the drivers and still get the message. Any other suggestions would be helpful.
Try un-selecting the other options? (auto reboot/time)
I had a similar error message when the "repartition" was selected. Just an idea...
Gave that a shot but no luck
I am almost resigned to the fact I might be stuck with JF6 until Froyo gets pushed out OTA (if/when that happens). I just can't believe it has me this stumped.
Can busybox, the older superuser, anything like that cause this issue? When I wiped back to stock I loaded Unleash the beast because I prefer the older superuser (ninja guy). When I first got my phone I did the adb code for sideloading after doing one click root. That process isn't different from what the guys that made the UTB and Superrooter update.zip files is it?
Well tried running Odin as an administrator and that didn't work haha. Worth a shot.
I dont really know if that could be the cause or not. Im actually having trouble wiping all the data from my phone (I have my own thread, but it could be related). I used Odin 1 click, I used the regular Odin and did everything manually, tried master reset, and also did a factory data reset. Tons of data still on my phone, though. I was contributing it to titanium backup, but it may be things installed from super rooter
Anyone else have an idea that I might try?
Now even Odin one click comes up with this message??? I am really baffled with this situation.
Update: Got Odin one click to work again, I wiped my user data through clockwork. After this reloads I am going to try and do sideloading via the adb codes rather then using UTB or superrooter to see if that makes a difference for me. Still could use any suggestion on what else people have tried in this situation, if you have been in this before.
Sweet life
Still stumped by this issue if anyone has any help for me. Also could this be moved to the new Q&A section. Thanks.

Do you use the Kies program and if so has it ran an update lately, I had it on my Win7 laptop and when it ran the software update it totally hosed up my drivers and I could not connect to my phone anymore...

I haven't used kies since I first got the phone to put contacts in. But I just tried again to give it a whirl and got it to load the kernel. Hell if I know why it worked today compared to before hahaha.
A friend and I were trying to update his Wind LGP999 phone from 2.2 to 2.3. So we followed the instructions from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327929 and things were going good until we got to the connection part. The program continues to freeze and close and the phone is stuck on the s/w update please wait while updating screen. Now we've tried hard reset and even tried to reinstall V10G_00 but the program still freezes. I've been doing some research and unless I haven't searched enough I haven't seen any thread or post with someone with the same problem. So any help in this would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Done some more research and found How To Load a Custom ROM by David Cogen from The Unlockr and follower his steps and things seemed to work out pretty well but I still get this screen

You need to use nvflash to install clockwork recovery then you will be able to install whichever rom you want. There are a few threads out there showing how to install the recovery permanently.

Thanks for the post but I've already used nvflash to install CWR and have tried multiple roms and all have ended in the same way. I know I've been doing it right because I even followed the video from the unlockr to the T but at the end where he reboots I instead get the same screen in my earlier post. Is it possible I'm doing something wrong or maybe using the wrong roms?
Its most likely you are just missing a step somewhere. Try heading to the Hellfire rom help thread and read through there see if your missing something.... Usually this is a cut and dry process I don't see how its not working for you ...

Thanks for thee help I really do appreciate it. And I do believe I found the missing step, some where along the line I thought flashing and rooting where the same so when I flashed CWR I didn't root the phone before I started. And since I'm stuck on that screen does that mean I pretty much screwed?

Not at all. Just use nvflash rom for recovery. It will put completely stock tmo 2.3.3 . On phone, sorry no links. Search for that and it should give you a bootable phone. Then just nvflash cwm recovery and flash rom of choice. Don't forget to wipe data. No root required.
I dunno if mentioned before but when I used the method from these links http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327929 & http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473781 once I had gotten to installer update part it had a connection error which brought me to my present situation also now whenever i tried to repeat the process the program freezes and crashes.

No white LG logo? Or nothing at all? Which link were you following? If it was the first one, then you may want to try it again, I was in the same situation. Not even backlight worked, but I used the NVflash script again and it booted to T-Mobile official 2.3.3 unrooted. Did you hold the volume buttons the entire time?

Hi, I have a koodo branded Samsung galaxy ace 2 x, the model is gt-s7560m
Anyways I'll give my storry on how i broke my phone, it's kind of stupid.... and totally my fault. If i can fix it then i don't have to send it out... but i guess i might have to.
Anyways. I rooted my phone so I could delete the useless Samsung all shair and other stupid services like that from my phone, then i started to delete other stuff off my phone, it eventuly broke notifications, and i was no longer alertaed about texts.
The next day i desided to do a factory wipe from the phones menu its self.....NOT SMART. because i had changed out my launcher and deleted the orginal one it came with, so after it was done the factory restore i could only go in the settings... kind of useless. and when i looked at the apps i had installed, there were alot of apps at 0b,
now, I had!!! clock work recovery mod... but i never made a backup or anything.like a smart person should anyways I did a factory restore from there, and now my phone no longer has clock work recovery mod, and it informs me it must be conected to samsung kies now, and that failes to work. my computer sees it but cant conect properly, I've tried with a few diffrent usb wires and another computer, so thats not a problem,
now the phone still shows up in odion, and i can put it in download mode still, so where do i go from here?
I amuse my phone is totally empty
I feel rather stupid and well if theres a way to even get a custom rom on there that'd be cool.
Yeah.... im sorry if this is a hard task for someone,

Ok first of all..always remember search button is your friend..you wouldn't need to post also if you search once.
ok now second, dont worry your phone is not dead and its very much possible to revive it. Ok start from here http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-S7560M.
I wont tell you how to flash from Odin as you can easily search here and there are several tutorials here on that.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189539
Important thing to keep in mind is this. Don't cross flash a rom not meant for your phone. and even if u do make sure you dont overwrite the bootloader or preloader of your phone. As long as your phone will get detected by usb,your phone can be revived.
happy flashing
Wow, well i wasent shure what that samsung site was about but figured it out on my own with out the guide. odin aint hard to understand besides where to put what...
There was no koodo file so i took telus, (telus and koodo are the same) it seemed to work fine
any ways, its almost all done installing, I hope it works, its been like 4-5 days now,
Yeah I'm no good with search....
.... Anyways, It flashed properly and my phone actualy booted woah..... Awsome!!!
well atleast i have my phone back... .
anyways is there a custom for this phone? thats another think i have a problem finding, ... and the ones i find, they have dead links,
GT-S7560GSMH dead - please help!
Friend gave me GT-S7560GSMH to change rom in his telephone. I changed to CM11 4.4.1 but it was problem with camera it was taking pictures 90 degrees angle. Then I decided to try to flash other rom. But I try first change the recovery since there was some problems with recovery. So change to other version of CWM or TWRP or something else. I flash through CWM some recovery zip file and after that the telephone became completely dead. No any signs of life at all. Trying buttons for download mode and recovery mode, removing and put battery back, nothing at all, no signs of any life. Please tell me there is any way to resurrect the phone? To bring back to life? It is not my phone. I wish I could give back living phone not a dead phone. Hope to hear any help from you. Thank you,

Please pretend than I am a not particularly precocious ten year old who needs to make this phone as if I just took it outta the box. I have searched here and around the web. All I find elsewhere are paid download sites or 3 hour downloads and here I can't make heads nor tails out of the volumes of impressive information in these forums.
I do have PC skills, and this is my first smart phone and getting it rooted and the recovery installed and all that wasn't too tough back when I got it 15 months ago. It appears restoring it back to stock is quite a bit tougher.
I have to see if incoming calls still don't work when the machine is totally stock. Is there a way to do this without a 3 hour download and a masters in computer science? I sure would be most grateful for any help with this.
Thank you.
You can simply do "Rescue firmware" via Smart Switch.

Thank you sir! I will have a look at this a bit later tonight when possible.
This won't work with Teamwin recovery right?
I have none of the boot options in this video. Not that I don't appreciate it.
I have none of the boot options in this video (TeamWin). I also have totally different options in SmartSwitch. Not that I don't appreciate it. It doesn't have an option to search like the video says and already has an upgrade in there. I deleted my google accounts like it said and now I have this:

Root will mess up the mobile phone, but the whole point is getting rid of root and fixing the mobile phone. . Again, it's not that I don't appreciate the help, but this is what I've been going through. None of the instructions I find match what I have,.

I appreciate that sir, but like I say, I never get step 4. It doesn't exist for me. As soon as I click the device initialization tab I get this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If I proceed, I get this:
It tells me the update may fail if it's rooted and being unrooted is one of the goals of this. It also says that the mobile phone function may not work, but it's exactly the mobile phone function that's not working now and I've been trying to fix. That's what started this whole thing:

You won't do anything on TeamWin.
1. Open Smart Switch on PC.
2. Turn Off the phone. Press Volume down (not up) & Home button & power button. When you see the warning screen, just press volume up once. If you see "Downloading" screen, plug into PC
3. Do "Rescue Firmware" via Smart Switch.
Thats it.

Well they had to write that, because if something happens during flashing it is not their fault, and you have been warned.
You can also uninstal supersu, and download that same fw Smart Switch would install from another internet source, and it will probably be a painfully slow download, but that is up to you.
I cannot guaratee you that Smart Switch emergency initialization would solve your phone issues, but it is the way to unroot and for the phone to become officially stock, offcourse knox will stay tripped if it was tripped during rooting (and probably is, unless you are on 5.0.2. and were using ping pong root).
I used Smart Switch emergency a lot, and it was always succesfull, just follow instructions, connect your phone in dowload mode when it asks for it, and there should be no problems getting to stock.
...I saw just now, in your other topic that you have fixed it /thumbs up!
