.... actually i think it was my fault.
I run a stock german t-mobile s7 wich was recently updated to OREO
I managed to install adhell 3 which worked fine as an adblocker. One nasty T-mobile app kept draining my battery so i decided to enable the app-disabler on the home screen of adhell3. Unfortunately this seemed to have disabled all apps , including all system apps. Now i am stuck in a bootloop.
Can anyone give me some guidance how to resurrect my phone?
I am in vacations right now.... and i would really appreciated having a working smartphone again...
Thank you in advance...
ok.... i can´t even factory reset it.....I can however go into odin mode...

Because you can't go into recovery mode when you stuck in a bootloop, following option should help: flash your stock recovery, TWRP recovery or any other recovery for your device you want via Odin. After Odin is done and after the screen goes off you have to imadiately press volume down, power and home button. Now you are in recovery mode and you can factory reset your device. If you don't have a PC near you, you have to wait until you battery is empty, charge it and then you can go into recovery mode and do a factory reset.
Thanks for the answer!
On my device i could somehow mange to enter the factory reset from the odin screen. But i have no clue what i actually did? Do i have to reinstall oreo now? If my google backup is older than the error i produced i guess it is save to reset the device from there no?

At first, I have to correct myself. I meant volume up, not volume down for recovery mode.
Factory reset from Odin screen? What do you mean? What did you do? And if you did a factory reset and can start and use your phone normally again, everything should be okay. I can't answer your last question because I have no idea.

You will have to wait until your battery discharge fully after that you can enter in recovery mode by pressing volume up, home button and power keys simultaneously. I have gone through this too.

You can wipe data/ factory reset after installing the stock firmware. Boot into Recovery Mode by holding down Power and Volume Up buttons together until the screen turns on. When the Samsung logo appears, let go of the Power button but keep holding down the Volume Up button until the device boots into recovery. In Recovery Mode, select Wipe data/Factory reset and select Yes on next screen. Select Reboot system now to reboot the tablet
So i flashed the device and it said passed. It rebooted but it's stuck on the samsung logo after it does the sound. I'm able to get into download mode any ideas?

Glad to have helped you out. Give a hit to my thanks button, if you don't mind.
I went out partying last night, woke up to a crack on my nexus 5 and wouldnt turn on but the led would flash red. I figured it lost its charge. Charge the phone for few hours, phone would turn on and off right away as if it still were not charged. It would than shut off but restart to a screen that said Firmware Update- Please wait while it installs- B100. Nothing would install, it would stay at 0%. So I held the power button and now, it only turns on to the google sign and keeps looping from there. I tried to turn it on in recovery mode but that doesnt work either. My phone was never rooted, bootloader never unlocked and I never put it in debugging. I dont know what to do!
so the ol' 3-button combo doesn't get you to the bootloader?
Yes, it does. Forgot to mention that.

I don't know what you did, but your phone is not bricked. Hope you have a recent backup. If you can get into the bootloader I'd try a factory reset in recovery. If that doesn't work then you're going to have to unlock the bootloader and try to flash the factory image. None of this may work as idk what you did to your phone, but this is what I'd do.
Is flashing a factory image/unlocking bootloader possible even tho I can't get into the settings menu to turn on debugging option?

Yes, adb and fastboot are not related.

Are there any guides you all might suggest that are easy to understand?
Ask your friends what happened last night. Sounds like a good party
==**Team Nexus 5 sucks.**==
-Underpowered battery for a 5inch 1080p screen that is non-removable. Weak generic antenna that drops signal. Worst speaker of any device on the market. Cheap plastic build

Alright, here. The catch-all solution: flash the factory image as in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701.
Just remember to cd to your adb directory, I made that mistake and almost fainted because I thought my device was totally broken when fastboot devices listed nothing.

I was able to flash everything and it seemed successful. But, I can only get as far as GOOGLE and than it keeps rebooting.

If that's the case it sounds like you may have knocked something loose internally when whatever happened that caused the damage to your screen. Possibly a solder point or a cable coming loose.
Opened up the back cover, looks like condensation.....ill leave it alone for a few days and try again.
Reset

Did u do another factory reset after last flash as this may need doing on some phones from what I've watched on good old YouTube...Good luck..
^Why would he factory reset when the phone is wet? You'll short circuit it that way..
The only method of a factory reset I've read about was turning on in Recovery, waiting for the little android, and holding Vol + and Power. Thing is my phone would never get to the little android, just loop on the GOOGLE introduction. Is there another method to factory reset?

Turn your phone off. Then hold power + vol down. It should boot into the boot loader. You'll see a "start" Then use the vol rocker to toggle to recovery. Once there push the power button. You should be in recovery. Then use the vol rocker to toggle to factory reset. Then use power to select it.

Thats the method I'm unable to use...I was hoping there might be a string of code I could type into a command prompt being that I can only turn on the phone into the boot loader.

Try
fastboot reboot recovery
Edit, sorry that's not going to work. Find the stock recovery image. Then try
fastboot boot recovery.img
So I was able to boot in recovery and factory reset, although the problem still persists. I will try and flash all images tomorrow. Thanks for all the help! Happy holidays!

Can you power it down? If not try removing battery (on your own risk) for 30sec then put back in and try to get into bootloader (Power button+ Vol Down).
If you get in try recovery or flash new recovery via fastboot.
The phone is stuck in a boot loop at the LG screen, and makes the annoying boot sound every few seconds.
I have tried to start in Safe Mode by holding down POWER and VOLUME DOWN until the LG screen hits, then releasing POWER and pressing POWER again. Instead of starting in Safe Mode, the Factory Reset option comes up. I have tried the factory reset but it does fix anything - the phone still is stuck in a boot loop.
Lastly, when I plug it into my computer via USB, my computer does not recognize anything (using both Mac OS X and Windows). I have tried installing the LG drivers from the LG support website on Windows, but they do not recognize the phone when plugged in.
How can I completely wipe everything and start from a fresh installation?
Thanks in advance
Does anyone have any idea on how to proceed yet? From my understanding, the phone is soft bricked since it is stuck in a boot loop. Starting in Recovery Mode (Power+Volume Down) doesn't work, instead the option for a Factory Reset pops up. Doing the Factory Reset does nothing. Should I try rooting the phone? Or should I try using the LG Flash Tool?
You need to return to stock LG firmware using LG flashtool
turn off your phone and connect your usb cable while you hold the volume up button to enter download mode
Hi jax256,

you're welcome, glad to help.
First, I was doing a full wipe in TWRP, But I realize I didn't back up my photos/Documents.
So I long pressed the power button to restart.
And now, i got a bricked phone...
Any one can help me?

But, I got stuck on the TWRP boot screen.
Also, I'm still available to use the fastboot mode.
Finally, I solve the problem by flashing the e recovery image,and then low level forma data.
Hope it helps for someone have the same issue like me.

Can you still have access to erecovery : volup at power with USB cable plugged. If yes you can try a recovery but you will loose all your data
Can you have access to fastboot : vol down at power up. If yes you can try to flash by adb by following instruction from discussions in the forums.
