lg mytouch c800 bricked?

hi im pretty new here a friend of mine gave me her lg c800 mytouch to try and fix it for her.. not sure what she did she said she rooted the phone and the root was successful but i have a good idea that she doesnt know what she was doing..i will post a pic of the error screen im getting. but it says
E:Cant find misc
E:cant find misc
Finding update package...
E:unknown volume for path [sd:/download/adb_fastboot_and_other_tools.Zip]
E:Cant mount SDCARD:/download/adb_fastboot_and_other_tools.zip
Installation aborted
facory reset failed
restart factory reset..
now im far from a pro at this i know a lil more about computers and Ios devices..but ive rooted a few phones and to me it looks like she unzipped adb fastboot on her phone from her sd card??
ive tried holding F..A..vol down..and power..Nothing..
ive tried volume up .volume down and power still nothing..
BUT if i hold E..vol UP and power it brings me to a white screen that says S/W update
the big problem is the phone wont stay on long enough to do anything on the computer it stays on 3 sec. then reboots to same screen (computer says phone is unplugged) then phone just keeps restarting.
but the phone WILL stay on when i put it on the S/W update screen..but computer wont recognize the phone at all on that screen
ive tried the adb and fastboot commands but the phone wont stay recognized..it will recognize the phone and say thats its in recovery mode but when phone restarts it dont see phone no more..
well thanks ahead of time if anyone has any input or solution
and hopefully all this will make sense to someone lol
i think this pic will work.. if not ill try again
any ideas please?? or am i completely out of luck?

...do you mean that you can successfully communicate with the phone over USB, but you only have 3 seconds? What way is the phone recognized? Is it visible to adb/fastboot?

Yes In Adb device list it shows the phone and then says recovery..but after that I don't have enough time to type any other commands ..the phone is also recognized in "my computer" as removable device then when the phone restarts seconds later it says device unplugged ..and just keeps restarting on its own till I remove the battery...I just read on the forum in a post that Adb will recognize the phone if it's off but I remove the battery and put it back in and plug in USB and phone turns on and keeps restarting won't even let me turn it off!! I'm losing patience with this thing lol
But I don't get why the error mentions fastboot? Not my phone so if it's not fixable I don't really care but I'm just the stuborn type when it comes to fixing electronics ..again thanks ahead of time to anyone that helps cuz I'm completely lost on this one
Have you tried timing it to send a quick "adb reboot recovery"? If you can use fastboot, you can tell it to boot off a new, custom recovery img, without actually flashing it.
i have the same problem

i used an app on the market to remove bloatware. i removed slacker and the app stated that after two reboots that everything would be fine and the app would be gone. after one reboot the phone has the same screen this gentlemans lady friend has. it looks like the app its looking for is no longer zip aligned properly. someone told me to rename a recovery image the error message to trick the bootloader into thinking the missing app is there. hes an app dev so i figured he knows whats what. ive tried everything the gentleman in this post said and more. hell i have two of these phones and rooted the other and made a backup of that phone and dragged the backup to an sd card and rebooted to see if any of the backed up system apks would trigger a successful reboot but to no avail. i have all the drivers i need and adb commands but nothing works because the phone doesnt stay connected to my pc long enough for anything. please reply with some knowledge. ive been scouring the web for at least a month. i was so happy when i came across this. i actually became a member just to post about this erroer (look up diabolus ae in the forum search field. my post is about 3 days old with a better pic of the screen message. i bought a galaxy s II but i want to give the lg to my son. please help or respond:cyclops:

Normally, if you want to flash a custom recovery through fastboot, people will tell you to run 2 commands:
fastboot flash recovery nameofimagefile.img
fastboot reboot recovery
Since you don't have time to execute those 2 commands, you can tell it to just boot from the .img file, without flashing over your current recovery. (This is actually proper form, as you can test if the .img file works properly without damaging your existing recovery.) The way you do that is to 1st copy a recovery .img file to the root of your SD card, then execute the following 1 command:
fastboot boot nameofimagefile.img
Since you only have ~3 seconds, type the command in, and wait for the right instant to hit enter on the keyboard. If the command is successfully sent to the phone, it will reboot into that .img.
See if that works for you. Good luck.

Bricked, stuck in TWRP and adb issues also

Hello there, recently I tried to get TWRP for my LG G2, and I kept trying over and over again to where my phone's booting got stuck in a loop and began making a lot of drives. Luckily, I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 and got to the point where I could get into TWRP. The problem is, now I can't boot up into the normal rom, which I'm guessing has been erased through TWRP and my own stupidity. So I have no roms to flash either, and in addition, my screen is screwed up, and while I can navigate TWRP, I have a very hard time doing it. Also, whenever I plug my phone in to my computer, it just shows up as 'g2' in the device manager, and is an unknown device. I have tried adb sideloading a rom but it always gives me 'error:closed'.
So let's round that up since I kinda rambled there.
Screwed my phone up by trying to get TWRP and it ended up booting in a loop and making a ton of drives.
Was able to fix this and am now able to get into TWRP, but the touch screen is going crazy and I have a hard time navigating TWRP
Whenever I try to use adb with my phone, command prompt says 'error:closed'
The device manager calls my phone 'g2' and thinks it's an unknown device.
I swear, if anyone here can help me get this phone to where it's booting up correctly again, you are incredible.
Thanks!

[Q] Having problems when trying to ROOT Moto G LTE x1040

Hi, I'm relatively new to this forum and I've been trying almost all day to root my phone...
First, I had problems trying to get a working recovery (they just crashed to random colors/or loaded fine and then rebooted like nothing happened). Tried with CWM Recovery but it seems this model is not supported atm, tried with TWRP v2.8.3.0 and also crashes... ATM the only custom recovery that has started without going haywire is TWRP v2.8.0.0 (at least for my phone).
I prefered using 'fastboot boot recovery.img' before 'flash' since it's the first time I'm trying to root a phone. The recovery mode starts okay and I also placed the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip in the internal storage before hand. I try to install the .zip file and all goes well, no errors and a blue 'Successful' message. This is where the 'root' procedure fails. Since you can reboot or go home to check other stuff I just tried rebooting the first time and it asked me that I had a SuperSU in the device and that if I wanted to install it to have root. I obviously swiped to install it and it displayed for a split of a second the window from before and just shut down and rebooted...
I tried several other methods to try and root my phone after this failure, but none worked. I checked again if trying this procedure would serve a purpose but I got the same thing always. But since I saw the process so many times I could see for a moment a red line saying something like 'E: failed to copy su binary to /system/bin (...)' but couldn't read more because it was a split of a second there xD. I googled this weird error and I found that my /system is in read only state and not writtable... But to change it to writtable I need root too it seems <_<)
So, any help? I'm sorry if this long text makes someone just look away but I don't really know how to explain my problem in more simple words xD. Any help will be appreciated .
EDIT: Forgot to say that my phone has its bootloader unlocked already and it has USB Debugging enabled.
Moto G LTE x1040
System version (as my phone says) 21.31.1.peregrine.retla.retla.en.01 entcl
Build: KXB21.14-L1.56-1
OS: KitKat 4.4.4

[Completed] Recovery mode is gone, Factory mode is gone, help me XDA you're my only hope...

So here is a string of steps I've already been through in trying to save my bricked Nexus 6: [Can't post outside link yet...]
Basically I got the 'your phone is corrupt' message from google and it kept forcibly shutting down. It would not boot up so someone suggested I side load a rescue OTA. At this point recovery existed and I went through all the steps and had it installing, only to fail mid-way through (~52%) and give me a 'read error' on my command prompt. I started the whole process over again just fine and it got to 73% before 'read error' failing again. I thought no big deal, I'll just keep doing this until it gets to 100%. Nope, recovery is gone. I cannot get there anymore. I start into Fastboot mode and scroll to recovery and hit power and it just goes to a new Fastboot screen and keeps flashing every time I try to select it. The Bootloader logs give me a 'failed to validate boot image: ret=-1' message and says 'Boot up failed.'
I can't find a single guide online that doesn't require recovery mode to work. At this point I don't care about my data and just want to get this phone working again before I throw in the towel and pay Motorola $175 for a refurb. I'm just barely over a year too. The Nexus 'expert' gave up and blamed the memory and maybe he is right but I wanted to run this by you guys first. This phone was completely stock and unrooted.
The only reason why I feel there is still a chance is because when I connect USB my computer reads it as an Android Device in Device Manager with 'Android Bootloader Interface' as a sub device. If the computer can read it, isn't there a chance that some kind of software exists that can forcibly load a new bootloader onto this phone without recovery? I'm 'competent' with computers and android phones but I haven't rooted or done any custom stuff in years so I'm at a loss for what's out there.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me, even if it's to tell me I'm SOL.
Ok so far I have tried to load a custom recovery but that requires an unlocked bootloader. Then I tried using a toolkit to flash stock as a soft-bricked device but that also requires an unlocked bootloader and I can't unlock the damn bootloader. You know, I thought I was just playing it safe by leaving this phone as-is instead of playing around with it but it looks like I screwed myself by doing so.

Moto G (falcon) - Recovery img problem

Ok, I've been reading around the forum for about a week, trying to solve a problem with an original moto g (falcon). Basically my cousin got the moto g a few years back, and I, in my ignorance, tried to root the device for him. What I can remember was oem unlocking the bootloader with Motorola's unlock code through their website and adb. then my cousin freaked about the warranty warning on the boot animation, and decided against it. So cut to now, I'm a little more experienced, the phone's years old now, and he'd like to refresh it with a new rom, which I suggested, trying to help him. So forgetting what I'd originally done those years ago, I started the process of rooting the phone, installing a custom recovery, to hopefully put a lighter rom on it for him.
OK so it's a UK Retail on tesco mobile, moto g xt1032 running Android 5.1.
in bootloader menu it says "Device Locked status 2", dunno what this is in relation to.
first I checked the bootloader was still unlocked, and adb said it was. so I tried to use CF-autoroot to finish the job, but there was issues. it restarted the phone into fastboot mode, but when the script started, pc end did nothing, on the phone it said, "flashing unlock" and just sat there for 10-15mins doing nothing (i left it the time, just incase it was doing it).
So i read a little more, and found because i'd already unlocked the bootloader, I could just flash a custom recovery and root from adb? so I downloaded the latest twrp and tried. I was unable to do so. it said the partition wasn't the right size? should have documented it, but really didn't expect to run into any problems.
So I restarted and tried to do my usual fallback, and flash the factory image and start again, But couldn't find a source for the specific img, and tried to keep fighting on.
So I noticed that the phone wouldn't respond to adb or fastboot once in fastboot mode, when in android with usb debugging, no problems, in fastboot, didn't show up as adb devices?
I tried booting into the recovery from the bootloader menu, and got a no command. So there isn't a recovery, and I can't flash a new one? if i could find the stock recovery, I would try that.
so apart from deleting all his apps and settings, I hadn't solved the problem at all, and had to leave the job there as I couldn't find a solution.
I know this isn't the most detailed, but I've done this with quiet a few phones now, and felt I was pretty competent. I see everyday as an excuse to learn more, and like to think I have humility. So, I'm assuming I did something those years ago to damage the recovery? I'm running out of ideas, and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction?
I've lurked on xda for years, and learned so much about this kind of thing through my past experiences, but I'm stumped this time, and feel obliged to resolve the problem, as it was me who caused it.
TL DR
Can't flash recovery, no command when I try to open recovery, trying to either factory image back, or root/custom recovery it.
any insight would be much appreciated.
Hi. I just rooted and installed CM13 on an old XT1034 about two days ago. I am also sort of a ROM noob, I have ROMed a few devices, but usually but following strict step by step guides I have found here on XDA. Over the years I have some minor understanding of the process now.
I also got the "No command screen" when trying to get into TWRP recovery. The issue seems to be that if you reboot via ADB and the ROM launches it will automatically rewrite the recovery to the stock one, and when you try to go to recovery from fastboot, it gives you the "no command" error. Apparently you can get to the stock recovery from there by a hardware key combo, something like holding up vol for 10 sec then a quick press of power (I can't remeber the exact key sequence or what forum I read it in). If it does this you have to reflash TWRP again. This issue is mentioned here (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_falcon) in step 8 about installing recovery. What I ended up doing was after the flash of TWRP via ADB, I manually powered down, then manually bood into fastboot by holding volume down and power, and selecting recovery. This was a bit fiddly and I had to attempt it a few times but eventually it worked and TWRP installed.
The issue with the phone not being recognized may be due to incorrect drivers. I had no issue with this because I installed the official driver package from Motorola. It is available in their website in the developer section. I don't have the URL right now.
Hopefully this helps, for me CM13 Official has been an a stable fresh start for this old device.
