Need help...
Was messing the around with the screen density in the buildprop.. after reboot, "systemui keeps FCing" making it unusable and I cant do anything. Attempting to do a hard button combo to go into stock recovery but cant seems to get it to work.. Googleing tells me to, hold volume down and power till the LG logo, release power and rehold again.. it just reboots again.. holding all 3 brings me to a korean menu that I cant read.. holding up and power brings me to a recovery menu that I think only the service centre can use, there's no option in there, only asking me to reboot.
Any kind souls please....

I've been trying to get into my stock recovery for some time now trying all sorts of button combos but to no avail. Previously I had the g2 and when it updated from jellybean to kitkat, the combo for entering stock recovery changed however, this new combo doesn't seem to work on the G Pro 2 either
You should be able to revive your device back to stock using the LG pc Suite however, after tampering with the system, it is often necessary to perform a factory reset after the pc suite has done it's work which will need you to enter stock recovery.
If you are completely stuck, I would suggest restoring your device using the pc suit and, all being well, your device will boot sufficiently for you to perform a reset through the phone settings menu. If you are really lucky, it may boot properly and you may not need to perform any reset however, it would still probably be a good idea to do so.

I had tried everything.. Even adb command to reboot into recovery. It just brings me to a broken Android with red triangle. I am starting to think there is no stock recovery built in that is accessible to users..
I am now at the service centre. Well the guy can detect that its rooted.. voids warranty.... But will try to see if he can help to reflash the firmware.. If not have to change hardware and will be chargeable....... Fingers crossed. He did say users are not able to access the recovery..
Guys.. Until there's custom recovery, pls dun mess with it.....
That is really bad. I am stuck at bootloop and unable to reach the recovery mode. I wonder how entire web just talks about a hardreset process that doesnt even work

Glad you were able to get your phone back. I have some positive news. I am trying out a recovery method as we speak. Using the LG Software update & USB driver tool I found the option for a update recovery. So I gave the IMEI and it prompted for a connection to the device which wasnt there as the phone is stuck in a boot loop. So I thought if it is going to restore the firmware from PC ( and not OTA) then it at some point of time will take the phone to download mode. So I just put the phone in download mode and VOILA it recognised the connection. And right now it is downloading the recovery firmware. The firmware being downloaded is around 1.5GB which is exactly what size I expected it to be. I have my fingers crossed. Just hope it goes through fine.

As I mentioned in an earliar post on this thread, you can usually get the device into a booting state using the lg pc suite. You will probably have to perform a factory reset but, hopefully, after using the tool, you can access the software factory reset in the settings menu. From past experience with other lg devices, it can often help if you run the recovery more than once in the pc suite.

Hi Bob,
Yes I think the same option is there in the LG PC Suite as well. But unless you do what I have tried to do it wont recognise a device that has not booted yet. Devices soft-bricked or bootlooping wont be recognised by the PC suite for recovery. But thanks for the tip. I'd keep that in mind and see if it'd need another factory reset after recovery. But it seems like it will be a hard reset done by the recovery happening right now

Good luck. If no joy just try the pc suit. I'm fairly sure I had a success on my old g2 with a similar problem to yours. Can't remember exactly what I did but I kept trying things and eventually the pc suit recognised and sorted my device. Perhaps try to adb reboot recovery with the pc suit on screen??
PC suite and the software update thing didn't work for me. It just refuse to recognize my device. Hope things work out for u!

Thanks. I was able to revive my phone. No loss of apps and data. Just the root was lost. Can you tell me what issues you have witnessed after such a recovery that made you to do a factory reset? The phone looks fine at the moment but wonder if it'd end up in a boot loop again.

You shouldn't have a problem. I just like to have a clean start and to make sure that there are no alien files left from my previous tampering.

It went all smooth. I'd like to shout out to all LG G Pro 2 users to make a note of this method and try it whenever they soft-brick their phones.

Hi there,
I am in the same situation, I can not do the factory reset in any way was mentioned here (pc suite, lg update) in the forum, because there is no connection between the pc and the mobile.
Where you from anyway and which mobile service did you take your phone, how much was the service cost?

Did you try this:
VOL DOWN + POWER
when LG logo appears release booth keys and wait 2 sec then
VOL DOWN + VOL UP
you should get factory reset screen
Hi, well it looks like i have probably hard bricked my phone. After updating to nougat i decided to do afresh clean install. I wanted my phone to as if i had just bought it and came with nougat/emui 5 installed. So i did a factory reset from within the settings menu. But then i thought i would completely erase everything and start from the latest build before nougat, so emui 4.1.2/ marshmallow. So after wiping all the partitions in twrp and then doing a volume up + power to do complete factory wipe followed by using the three button method to install the B130 UPDATE.APP in dload folder on my sdcard, all worked as expected. The update completed at 100% and then rebooted. So there i am waiting for my phone to boot to start the setup process as i have done dozens of times before...BUT...my phone will not boot to the initial setup wizard. It just stays stuck on the Honor logo pulsing animation for ever and ever and ever!!!!!!
So i do the volume up + power button to get to stock recovery and do factory wipe and cache wipe as well. It works as expected so i reboot and once again use the 3 button method to install the update.app on my sdcard. That works as expected and at 100% says its succeeded and reboots. Once again i wait for it to boot to the initial setup wizard but....ALAS...it stays on that DAMN pulsing Honor logo. Ive tried rebooting it several times, redoing the factory wipe and install several times, but nothing. Ive gone into fastboot mode (volume down + power) to try and flash the boot.img and system.img ive extracted from update.app but get the error message -- remote: command failed -- and the same if i try to unlock bootloader. Obviously its not going to work because my bootloader isnt unlocked and nor can i got in to developer settings to enable oem unlock and turn USB debugging on because my phone wont boot past that bloody honor logo.
The only thing i havent done yet is to use eRecovery but i dont have broadband and i doesnt seem to work over public wifi! So i will go to my friends tomorrow and use their broadband and hopefullly eRecovery will download/restore the latest firmware. The only other thing i can think of is to download the original nem-l51c432B102 that came with my phone when bought, extract the update.app file and replace the B130 i have on my sdcard dload folder at present.
Sorry for such a long post but i wanted to expalin evrything in detail to hopefully resolve my problem without going backwards and forwards with questions and answers and taking for ever.
So ANYONE and EVERYONE who managed to read the whole post, if you have even the slightest idea of how to get my phone working, please oh please share it with me. Also my phone is still under warranty so if i needed to send it to a huawei centre to get it fixed would they do it and do it for free??? because eseentialy all i did was a factory wipe/reset and install a frmware and it goes KAPUT!! thats not my fault right????!!???
Thank you to one and all for any wisdom you can share.
please....please.......help???
So sorry for my original long post people, i simply wanted to give as much detail and info as possible because being vague doesnt help anyone. It seems that might have worked against me.
Please,please any suggestions would be appreciated to the N'th degree! I have tried everything i can think of and i am truly desperate now. I dont understand why i cant get it to work...
I can go into stock recovery and wipe the cach and do factory reset and that works fine, no errors.
I can hold the 3 buttons down to install the firmware package(ive got update.app from B130 build) and that works fine, gets to 100% and says 'success' and then reboots, with no errors.
But either way the phone refuses to boot past the honor logo boot animation and ive left it for hours hoping,praying, it will work after the 32nd time...
I can access fastboot but that is useless because my bootloader is not unlocked and i cant get to developer options to enable 'usb debugging' and 'oem unlock'. So i just get error message 'remote: Command Failed' with any command i type.
But thats madness, i cant comprehend why it wont boot because everything seems to work!?!
There has to be a way to get my device functioning again.
I am pulling my hair out, i am at a complete loss, it doesn't make sense. PLEASE ANYONE ..... please help....
Thanks HONOR-able enthusiasts for any help, no matter how small!
Ok, this is hard to explain.
My phone was original a honor 8 from china, then 2 years back I made the rebrand to european version lrd09 6.0 , then I flash to emui 5.0 nougat. I was perfectly fine with that over 2 years, I live in argentina and it never ask me for update.
Now I am on vacation on italy (europe), and one update was available, I update my device, first update 400 mg file, all ok. Then a next update was available of 700mg, I did not thought it could have been a problem because my phone had a european version, so I did it.. and it enter in boot loop until it enters the recovery, I try to download latest version and recovery but it does not work.
How can I recover my phone? I guess I let one image version of emu5 when everything worked fine in my computer and not sure if in my phone too.
But now I dont have twrp working, only the original huawei recovery, it has bootloader and I guess the rebrand stays.
I love my pictures with this phone, and this was my first day from my vacation, I want to cry
The only solution that I can think off, is to buy a new honor8 or something with similar good camera and price, then use that and back into argentina try to recover my phone and sell one of the two.
There is another solution?

Wow, that it would be way more simple that I imagine, thanks for answer.
So.. I need to do this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFM64qW7Wsw
What it does the option wipe cache partition does? it may help?
If I wipe data, I lose my pictures located in the main memory card? Or these remain in the dcim folder?
Or for that I need Android Data Recovery and cross fingers?
If i make a factory reset, then I can update my honor in europe to emui5 without this happening to me again?
The fact that it has the bootloader, it may block me to do this?

Ok, I tested, it complete the factory reset to the 100%, then I reboot, but the boot loop continues
The factory reset I did, it is possible that the smartphone have go back to the chinese lrd 00 version? impossible I guess, it should have returned to the factory european version that it had with emui4...
So not sure why this did not work.
I have heard that the Chinese variants which are rebranded to L09 gets stuck in a bootloop after a certain EMUI 5 update. I guess the same has happened with you. Before I can help you any further, can you confirm if your bootloader is unlocked. To check it, if your device is powered off, hold down your volume down button and immediately plug the device to a computer. If you're in a bootloop, hold the power button for a force reboot and as soon as the screen goes black hold down volume down and connect your device to PC.

Hi, thanks for helping me, ok. I did what you ask me.
After doing that, it show me a white screen with the android robot image and it said:
FastBoot Rescue Mode
Please connect usb to your computer and open hisuite (i dont have hisuite in this notebook)
In red: Phone Unlocked
FRP unlock.
I want to tell you that I check the memory flash card that I have in the honor 8, and like I thought, there is an image that I did with the twrp, but I guess I dont have twrp anymore.
Maybe many things that you told me, I will not be able to do it until I return from my vacation, because in this PC, I dont have android studio, or hisuite, or all the plugins that I remember to use when I rebrand this phone.
But maybe I can do it anyway. I dont remember if I have to download the whole android studio to install TWRP.

Nah, you don't need to install the whole Android Studio just for ADB/Fastboot. Grab the installer (I made) from here: https://github.com/hackslashX/ADB-F...ster/versions/adb_fastboot_installer-1.0s.exe
Get Huawei 32-bit drivers: https://github.com/hackslashX/ADB-F...master/versions/drivers/huawei-drivers-32.zip
Get Huawei 64-bit drivers: https://github.com/hackslashX/ADB-F...master/versions/drivers/huawei-drivers-64.zip
(You only need one of the above drivers)
With all utilities installed, you can now easily flash TWRP.
For firmware, please tell me the complete build number for your device i.e. FRD-L09XXX (what are those three Xs).

Thanks for the links and info.
Although I am not sure how to know the build number, I guess the update to emu5 was something like 431.. or something like that, but I am not sure, I did this two years ago.
I need to know the build number to install TWRP or recover my phone?
If it is bricked, not sure how I can access to the build number.
I need help. My Huawei Y6 Pro 2019 (MRD-LX2) EMUI 9.1.0 C636E7R1P7 won't boot and tells me "Serious problems occured when the device boot, you are recommended to do factory data reset". How do I get past this without doing a factory data reset? All of my precious data is in here
I've tried doing "Download latest update and recovery" and booting it to fastboot rescue mode and recovery it with HiSuite but no luck.
Any solutions to this before I go to an Authorized Huawei Service Center?
Pardon me for my English
you could try miracle box... but I don't even want to go close to that tool...
and if your device bootloader is unlocked I think your warranty is voided

My device bootloader isn't unlocked and I'm using Stock ROM.
Can't believe your issue comes out of the blue. You must have applied something before.
BTW:
If you can access the phone by means of ADB you can do a Factory Reset at your own without wiping phone's user-data

I just forgot to charge the phone and its on a low battery percentage when it updated.
I'm just a noob , what do I type in with ADB?
Good day fellas.
Today I played around with my old Phone and somehow deleted the bootloader. It only boots me to the eRecovery therefore not able to use ADB/Fastboot. It doesn't matter if the Phone is unbrickable but I wanna keep playing around with it. I do not have the option to Factory Reset or use the Emergency Backup meaning the bootloader is pretty much gone. Is there any way I can unbrick this phone? I tried every possible combination of keys but nothing works LOL. I also cannot use "Download lastest version and recovery" due do the phone being unable to find my Wifi (but can find any other Wifi in my house xd). Any idea will be tried out no matter if it requires disassembly since this phone is already disassembled because of the lld-testpoint method to unlock the bootloader lol.
Edit: Somehow was able to get into TWRP althrough eRecovery is on there. Strange. Got into TWRP by pressing factory reset. TWRP also isn't able to boot into bootloader and justs shuts off my phone

Pretty late response but I'll try to help you. First of all, this is Non-Lite forum, so you better ask in P20 Lite forum. Second of all, look up "IDT Huawei P20 Lite", idt is tool from HiSilicon that let's you flash board firmware on your phone, but you will have to disassemble your phone to access testpoint for this method. You have to find your idt firmware online, so good luck!
