[General Questions and Answers] SHSuperEddie:
I have a question about download mode. Is it possible for my phone to get stuck on that screen? I mean- by simply putting it in download mode, is it possible for it to freeze, just connected to the PC, when nothing is running on it?

I ask because LGUP is giving me the model error I previously posted about even though I can see it recognizes my phone. And when I unplug the USB cable from my phone in download mode, is it normal for it stay on that screen?

The only way way to take it out of DL mode is to pull the battery. Is this normal? It doesn't seem like it, but I can't find any answers ANYWHERE.

I've seen numerous download mode tutorials (but none for my specific model, always newer LGs) and it looks to me that pulling the USB cable out on this screen should make the screen go black.

There's really no way for me to test if it's frozen either, yet I'm scared to find out if I attempted to flash it while not knowing if it's stuck!
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
Most things that people run using ADB can actually be run directly on the device, using a terminal app.
[General Questions and Answers] MeltingSnowman:
So I'd be able to at least look at the logcat without using ADB and without being rooted? It's a worse pain to setup wireless ADB than using it directly on a PC.
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
Yes.

You can do it manually using a terminal app, or using the app in my signature which has a GUI, and includes logcat as a method.
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
It could be that your download mode program is corrupted and that it crashed.

This is the kind of thing that is easier to see if you have a hardware (UART) console.

Using Putty as I mentioned and seeing if you can provoke a response is the first way to check for life.

Heck, even plotting "battery" current using an external power supply can tell you a lot about what's going on.

Monsoon Solutions makes a commercial power monitor. You can find one cheap-ish on ebay.

I have my own homebrew power monitor.

(To tell the truth, I don't even remember what device this is but it's showing something booting up over a period of two minutes.)

No, I'm not telling you, @SHSuperEddie that you need to buy one. It's just that somebody might be interested in this.
[General Questions and Answers] SHSuperEddie:
OK, thanks! I'll have to check out Putty ASAP... I certainly hope download mode isn't corrupt cause I don't know what I'd do then 😥
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
Well, it could be the LG utility, the LG driver, the LG downloader.

Do you have another LG device that works with your setup?

You don't say if you have access to normal Android or recovery or fastboot or ROM bootloader...

You could also do a "deep dive" with a USB protocol anaylyzer and see what/if anything is going on.

http://janaxelson.com/development_tools.htm#analyzers

I'm prejudiced in favor of hardware analyzers, that's why I own one.

Still, a (free) software analyzer can often tell you what you want to know.
[General Questions and Answers] SHSuperEddie:
I have another LG older phone, but the screen is broken.

What did you mean I would do with another LG device?

My phone went through a factory reset and now is too glitched up to make it through the initial setup screens with the setup wizard- makes it past a few screens, goes black, "set up wizard not responding", freezes- but yes, it still turns on and boots normally. I can't connect to PC or use Settings in the setup phase though.

Bootloader is definitely locked, this phone has no recovery mode I'm not sure what fastboot is, sorry...
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
It could be an actual hardware problem.

Have you tried all the ways of reseting holding different buttons?
[General Questions and Answers] SHSuperEddie:
Yes, I have. No button combos work on the download mode screen.

But otherwise, I can get the "factory reset?" screen by holding power and volume down, lifting finger off power when the LG logo appears then holding both again.

Let's say it IS a hardware problem as you say- how could I find this out for sure? And what could I do about it?
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
If it actually is a hardware problem it would be near impossible to fix.

It just seems strange that you can do a factory reset, it boots up normally and fails on some setup wizard page.

Normally, the Android subsystem is not really needed, but you don't have any ADB and you can't get to the underlying Linux-like level to see what's going on.

Have you tried trying to factory reset again? Is/was it charged enough.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you have the bootable "factory reset" mode, then,in my experienc, that means you probably don't have a stock recovery mode or a download/fastboot mode because it has been blocked/removed by the carrier that sold the device. This has been the case for the LG devices that I've owned that had the factory reset mode that you described.
[General Questions and Answers] SHSuperEddie:
If this was the case, is the download mode I'm seeing some kind of glitch that doesn't actually work?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I was referring to the "other" device that you mentioned, you said it didn't have a recovery mode, didn't you? Or am I misunderstanding? You have asked about or mentioned two different devices in your questions, right?
[General Questions and Answers] SHSuperEddie:
Oh, I must have written that confusingly, sorry.. I only told Renate that I had another LG with a broken screen, because they asked if I had another working LG device.

However, the device I'm trying to fix is the one with no recovery mode, at least not one with any other option besides factory reset.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I don't know your device, but you should search for "Tool to disabling demo mode on MediaTek devices", I know that some exist for Vivo devices, just take it as an example.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
You mean that your device isn't booting to other mode than TWRP screen? To enter to Odin model it's just a matter of, to be sure that your device is completely off, and from there trying the buttons' combination.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Can you boot into safe mode via button combination?

A factory reset should not have caused a problem with the system partition. Could it be that the device was rooted before you did the reset?

What was your reason for doing the reset? Did you attempt to flash something then encounter some kind of issue then did the reset in an attempt to fix the issue caused by what you flashed?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I don't understand, for what, you are trying ADB commands? The files you're supposed to edit, you can put them again to the root directory, using a custom recovery, or a root app file explorer, but keep in mind that you need, first to unlock the bootloader, and that some debug builds don't admit/respond to some ADB commands, and finally, that depending on the structure of your system/super partition, it shouldn't get unmounted.

I guess that probably the easiest way to get it, is searching for some app, that can do the task you are asking for.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
What would be the purpose to convert to a flashable ROM?, anyway, you have all the images available, at any time, to flash them back, using SPFT or other tool.

There are many good GSIs that are ready and quick to use, you just have to search for one that suits to your likes, and flash it to your device, always that your device can be unlocked.

And since A10, you have the native option, available in developer options section, to load a GSI already made by Google, say, that there is an app that can easy the task https://github.com/VegaBobo/DSU-Sideloader
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Usually, not to say always, none button combos work on the download mode, the way you are trying to use, buttons only work to power off device.

Download mode, as you're saying, in Qualcomm devices is the Q9008, so called EDL mode (there are other "useless" modes though, like diagnostics, and more).

Only, passing through, the off state, you can go to other mode.

Be sure that you are, pressing the right buttons, and in the right timing.
[General Questions and Answers] SHSuperEddie:
Yes, I can. I've tried to go through the setup process in Safe Mode, but nothing seems to change, it still freezes.

It was definitely not rooted. I was using the phone (without a SIM card) as an extra media and storage device (it was a hand-me-down, un-used phone).

It was starting to act very glitchy with all the Google apps, to the point

where it was freezing non-stop, so I removed all google apps from

and it didn't freeze anymore, but still maintained some google glitches somehow, like random popups of a "Google Play store has stopped" that wouldn't go away till I restarted it. Also, no matter how much I cleaned up internal storage, it was constantly out of storage room.

AND it started having a bad battery drain issues.

I read factory resetting can solve problems like these,

so I did it, thinking it was safe to do, and now setup wizard crashing is keeping it from getting past the setup stage. I don't get it!
[General Questions and Answers] SHSuperEddie:
Is the download mode screen supposed to disappear when I unplug the USB cord? Did you see my post about that? I really need to figure out if the reason LGUP won't work is because of download mode being stuck.

Is it even possible for download mode to be stuck??
[General Questions and Answers] PaveKoo:
Still trying somehow to get that auto power function working...

Among that one old guide which you gave https://www.lilitab.com/blogs/news/...ablet-to-turn-on-when-connected-to-wall-power

There is adb commands....

Or the another way what I tried is that file editing with some root explorer app in my tab.... no success...

I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted my tab.

I haven´t found any app what still works.. there was like NoMoarPowah and some other, but those didn´t work anymore...
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yep, all of that behaviour before the reset sounds like the hardware failing due to age or the internal storage being too full, but, the reset "should" have been able to solve the full storage, unless the problem was in the system partition to begin with, factory reset would not have been able to wipe the system partition or fix any errors in system, it can only wipe user data. It could be that the emmc and/or battery are compromised.

[General Questions and Answers] SHSuperEddie:
Ah, Ok. If it is the battery, would putting in a new, fresh battery solve the issue with setup? Or is it screwed now that I factory reset? What is the emmc?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The emmc is the internal memory chip, if it is failing, there is no point continuing forward. It is the same scenario as a hard drive failing in a PC, with the exception that on PC, you can just replace the hard drive, but, in android, it isn't so simple. The only repair that can be done in that situation is to unsolder the chip, replace it and reflash the firmware or replace the entire motherboard.
[General Questions and Answers] SHSuperEddie:
Is there any way to tell which it is for sure? Or if it's both for sure?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The behaviour that you described before the reset is typical behaviour of a failing emmc.
[General Questions and Answers] KlutzyBubbles:
Unfortunately i cant turn it off, holding the volume down and power button restarts it back to the splash screen. Holding the power button does nothing. Letting it run out of battery then plugging it back in also has the same result, even if i hold the button combinations it still boots into the twrp screen and gets stuck.

If odin is the only way of recovering from this does this mean my device is bricked and i should just get a new phone?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
No, you always can power off a device, it could be a timing issue, press the two volume buttons + the PWR one.

Also, in TWRP there is a very short time, that you can ADB to your device (even if it is in frozen screen), prepare the CMD with adb reboot bootloader, and once you see the TWRP screen, hit on it. Repeat the operation if needed, it should work.

Pay attention to this, when you press the dedicated buttons, the device, always go to a power off state, at least for 2 or 3 seconds, you have to get this short time, to change the combination buttons (be ready before that happens)., from this short 3-ish seconds, you have to send it to download mode.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Download mode is not that, here you have a reference about

, this mode is to flash (by force) any firmware on a device. Flashing the newer firmware may fix the issue.

Is it your device attached to some carrier?

Bootloader is unlocked?

Did you try to enter to recovery/fastboot/factory mode, following some tutorial?

And are you sure that you did it correctly?

Can you update what you did, prior to this issue appeared?, to can figure it out what was the cause of this.

Is it your device from second hand?.

any guidance appreciated and apologies if wrong thread ,

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Instead of trying to add "clear all recents", try using a 3rd party launcher that has that feature.

Or, there may be a setting that you need to enable in settings to enable the "clear all" feature in recents. Your device probably has the feature tucked away somewhere that you aren't seeing it

Flashing is what I've been trying to do to fix the setup wizard crashing issue, but LGUP (even with Uppercut) keeps on having this error View attachment 5767083

and I was told it could be due to download mode failing/being stuck, yet I've never heard of download mode being stuck and unable to flash even a bricked phone.

To answer to your questions:

-my device is attached to MetroPCS.

-bootloader is locked.

-I've seen factory mode, but the only option on it is factory reset

-Is fastboot and recovery mode different from factory mode? If so, then I've never been successful with entering those, though I've tried.

-Which issue do you mean? The setup wizard crashing after factory reset?

-No, device was untouched.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Ok guys, bought a new Moto G Stylus 5G(2021) XT2131DL. Activated it, enabled dev options, waited the 3 days to enable OEM unlock in dev options, booted to fastboot, fastboot OEM unlock data, got the device id string, entered it in Motorola unlock site, says it isn't eligible to unlock the bootloader. There is a thread here with others with the same model number and carrier that were able to unlock the bootloader and flash a Magisk boot.img but that was last year sometime. I turned off auto updates so I still have its factory installed firmware so I know it isn't because the firmware is newer or updated since I activated it.

My initial and current build number is RES31.Q2-11-66-10. I connected to Motorola"s flash tool and it saw it as XT2131-1 instead of XT2131DL, I downloaded that firmware, it says it is global and has a build number with the same RRES31.Q2-11-66-10 but the rest of the file name is different compared to the rest of the file name of the exact build that is on the device. Would modifying a copy of my exact build to match the firmware that the Moto flash tool found allow me to use the flash tool rescue option to flash without unlocking bootloader. Or could I modify the file that flash tool downloaded and flash it with the rescue option?

Any suggestions, I'm no Moto expert but I'm pretty sure I did all the steps right so I don't know where to go from here, nothing that I find when searching shows anything with this model/carrier being unable to unlock bootloader and flash Magisk boot.img. From what I understand about Moto, I have to unlock the bootloader to evev flash the firmware, which never made sense to me because it leaves devices that aren't eligible for bootloader unlock no way to flash a stock firmware to repair problems.
