Firstly safemode only allows core apps to run that came with the phone such as phone, calculator, calendar etc. that's why your apps wont open.
next for the massive data transfer I think you have a memory controller problem or a battery problem I suggest RMA or contact LG for repair
it also could be a rouge app that you install that is causing everything to crash.
Try transfer that large file on safe mode as it disables all apps except stock apps

The problem is safe mode does not work, i can launch any app on safe mode (see video watch?v=ycjK_333a70).
Is it critical?
Your bootloader is the oldest one available.
For me safe mode works without problem, ( I am using my AOSP KVT49L rom), but on Stock KOT49H I can start firefox but it chrashes. It does not work. however the apps missing from the appdrawer, but their shortcuts is on the homescreen. Some of them works and some of them crashes
I bought mine one week before crhistmas. I used it 100% on stock till february.
During that time I have not experiened any other the issues you have.
Hi!
I desperately address you today to ask you for help with my Huawei G615 (U9508; 1GB Version so it’s not Honor2/U9508B, but shouldn’t make a difference).
Problems:
- Phone won’t turn on (seems to be a bootloop).
- Phone won’t charge.
- Can’t find many of the needed files for flashing. So I need working mirrors or would appreciate uploads.
History:
Early 2013: Bought, standard Android 4.0.4 version, rooted by myself.
April 2015: Updated/Flashed to official (?) 4.2.2 with EmotionUI 1.6, rooted afterwards. Since then (not sure, maybe it’s unrelated to the update), I had multiple, annoying error messages when Wi-Fi got (re-)connected, but ignored it for months for not finding a solution.
Indeterminate timespan: State of battery charged wasn’t shown correctly, phone shut off too early. Used app “Battery Recalibrator” to fix this, needed some attempts but finally worked.
16th Feb. 2017 (Day X): Accidentally dropped phone (1-meter drop height, good TPU/silicon phone case cushioned it; no visible damage to phone or battery, no software-crash). Phone continued to work normally. Charged it to 100% before sleeping.
X+1: Phone was 99% after waking up, then suddenly 12%, shut down on 10%. Showed 0% afterwards, plugging it in to charge didn’t help. Despite charging it says 0%, powering on (only possible when charger plugged in) leads to bootloop (Huawei Logo, Android Logo, Huawei Logo (because it restarts)). Decided to put the phone on the cool window board over night without charging it.
X+2: Tried again to turn it on, after many attempts it magically turned on. Worked for the whole day, I still tried to flash the phone to get rid of my other Wi-Fi error log problem (and to prevent other possible problems by doing a fresh new start), didn’t seem to work. Charged it to 100%.
X+3 (today): Phone was already powered off when I woke up. Still can’t turn it on.
What I also tried continually:
- Tried charging with different power adapters or directly from USB. Still 0%.
- Tried wiping cache, wiping/factory reset.
- Flashing it to official 4.0.4. and 4.2.2., seemed not to work because it was over after some seconds, but the SDROOT/dload folder is ~1GB (although it said it worked, see spoiler).
Spoiler
When in recovery and choosing “apply update from external storage”, and then “dload” it says it failed to mount /sdcard (E:; “no such file or directory”).
Then error to open /sdcard/dload (“no such file or directory”)
Then
“Install from SD card complete.
cust copying files.
copy cust files succeeded.”
But as I said, that's possibly not true that 1GB gets copied in some seconds.
Status now (as I remember from Day X+2 when it worked):
- 4.2.2
- EmUI 1.6
- Android system recovery <3e>
- USB-debugging should be turned on (not sure) and phone should be rooted (Superuser was still installed after wiping, but it said it needed an update, so it might not fully work).
- Kernel and other software stuff: Can’t remember, can’t turn on the phone. And don’t know what they all mean tbh, I’m glad I know a little about the differences of Android official and custom ROMs and what a recovery is (and that I may need the Chinese recovery for flashing I cannot find online).
Further Details:
I personally don’t think the fall caused my problems because it continued to work for the whole day and the drop was cushioned. What I suspected: It could be an extreme case of the battery charge status problem. The phone thinks the battery is still 0% although it’s not. So it shuts itself off. Or the bootloop is caused by faulty software/ROM, although I didn’t change anything before the problems appeared.
I’ve read through several manuals and now get some sense of the topic, but I still don’t know everything relevant. Also, most of the links to important files are dead.
In addition, a problem I have is that despite reading through lots of threads, they require me to have a working phone, but mine is stuck in a bootloop.
What I want:
A clear, new phone software. Doesn’t matter which Android version or if official or custom ROM. Just want a working phone without the Wi-Fi error, so a fresh new start, a clean flash.
So: How do I do it, and importantly, where can I find the needed files?
(Even though I might buy a new phone next month, I want this one to be fixed so I can gift or sell the phone.)
Software I already have:
HiSuite, HuaWei_USB_Driver.exe, Android SDK, dload-B115 (folder, should be official Android 4.0.4), dload-B703 (folder, should be official Android 4.2.2), cm-10.1-20131006-EternityProject-hwu9508.zip (CyanogenMod 10.1 from Eternity Project); already rescued my data, so I’m ready to wipe.
Software that might be missing:
Chinese recovery, fastboot mod (what for?), CWM (what’s this, what for?), TWRP (what for?).
Many thanks in advance!
EDIT:
As recovery mode (Power + VolumeUp) works and the phone can be on for hours when in this mode (as long as it's plugged in), I assume that it's not the battery but a soft/firmware problem.

Good morning.....
At&T Samsung S7 G-930A(verified - bought from AT&T and checked on settings / internal)
Anyone else having issues recently? Latest update seems to brick the phone.
I tried many different firmware versions, but only TB1 seems to allow it to load and proceed through installation. Tough to find, but here is link.
https://mega.nz/file/xt4l3AgK#cfzcMT...LN8QqN7tqrp0Ew
from Ryzir
Even after updating to latest firmware, clean install, caches wiped, and minimal use......phone still runs hot and seems to restart.
I recently changed battery and was able to get further than before (actual loading and use of android on phone), but phone still restarts intermittently (about every 10 minutes).
Is the phone just broken? or is there a potential software fix?
Hi All,
The phone was problematic even after Reset(s) to factory condition. It used to reboot randomly launching apps, etc. I made all the Google Play updates successfully but the Samsung updates ( phone settings ) always failed.
Then I decided to use 'Samsung Smart Switch' ( Windows + Android Utility ) ( Official Downloads ). When I used the utility, it found some 2GB firmware update for the phone which was never listed from within the phone settings. I was quite hopeful but while making updates, it got hung at 'Preparing software environment for updates' for 2:30 hours. My computer's fans were running like anything so i got afraid & disconnected the phone. Probably, I halted the firmware updation in the middle & now I understand that. Since then the phone is almost unusable, rebooting every few seconds.
Undoubtedly, I am ready for the hard work & want to get my phone back to the usable state but am totally unaware as what are my options.
I also want to know the possibilities of getting it back to the usable state anyway.
Thanks for all the help & information!
A Firmware flash from Download Mode & ODIN did the trick. Thanks to the forum!
Hi,
I got "new" phone, model as per title. It appeared it's been previously rooted and has Magisk installed. Poor creature selling this to me has no idea about those things and he got it like that from his friend in different country.
As this is replacement of my personal phone, after I sunk S9+ and decided to break up with "S", I have not much eagerness to experiment.
Current firmware (as what phone shows) is V30c-KOR-XX seems based on Android 11.
I'd leave as it is but... Google Pay doesn't like the fact phone is rooted. I have no issue with that phone is rooted but with that I can't use Google Pay.
Additionally, despite setting EN-US as language I see lots of Chinese or Korean or Japanese "letters" here and there - not causing any more issues than esthetic. I'd prefer to not have it so probably to load phone with some different firmware. Would be lovely if that could actually have "Polish" (as I am).
Also, I tried to get to "recovery" and phone does not react to Power+Vol Up - please correct me if that's not the right combination. When I used Magisk to reboot into Recovery then I see "No command" message...
Magisk is current - 24.1 and same "app".
So my options would be:
- fixing what is currently (ignore not having Polish on it) and making GPay works
- loading some factory firmware and unrooting it
- loading something different which would also allow to make GPay to work
I'm not complete noob, and got years of Linux exp as this is my only OS I work on. Also I was playing with rooting, firmwares and kernels but that was age of Samsung S2 and S4 when I did it last time, therefore I know many things changed and some might be easier some harder to do. Additionally, this is my first LG as somehow I always had "S's".
What I'd like to ask community here is to help me determine exact (versions, links) software I possibly could use and provide some guidance on how to do this "these days".
So to make things easier, I will ask questions:
1. What firmware should I load and how (preferably using Linux)?
2. How to fix (if necessary) "missing" recovery ?
3. How to make GPay running if suggested firmware is not factory one?
To be clear, I don't mind using current firmware loaded on phone if I can make things work. Less work is better for me as I can't be left without phone for longer than a day.
