philz bootloop

I am having this same issue. everything was going fine with it when I booted into recovery from rom toolbox, but the first time I booted into philz with the power vol up and home it looped and I cant get out of it. This TWRP method that you mention what version of TWRP should I dl and please someone help soon my phone is out of commission.
[LG Optimus G Pro] droidbrain:
I successfully installed TWRP 2.6.1.0. Not sure oif it is related but when I try to flash the cm11 zip file it says "no MD5 file found". It still says the flashing was successful. I then flash the pa-gapps file and it says "successful".

so I reboot to system and i get the "secure booting error. Cause: Device Unlock, so Boot Successful" then it boots right back into TWRP.

Please help.
[LG Optimus G Pro] luisoman2000:
did the flashing take a few seconds? are the files you are flashing on the SD card? if the answer is yes to both, you need to move the files you want to flash to the internal storage, then flash them. Personally i prefer CWM to flash and go back to TWRP if i ever get stuck on a recovery bootloop(reboot to system, fix root when prompted).
[LG Optimus G Pro] fosunite:
I did fix that issue without his files.

What you guys might need is a command which should put your phone on usable state.

In this case of a bootloop into recovery you just need 6 steps.

1. Download the aroma file manager. It has a build in terminal console. Get this one here:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2231581&d=1378202418

2. Place the zip file on anywhere you like. On external sd it s easier to find. Let s put it on the root of external sd.

3. In the recovery please flash that zip file from step 1

4. After aromafm has started, press menu->open console .

5. A console appeared. Type this command all at once:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc bs=1 count=1088

6. Confirm this command by pressing enter. You see something displayed about copied with 1,1 kb or something. That was its process. To reboot your phone type in the console:

reboot

And confirm this by pressing enter again.

Info1: be sure that you didnt cause this boot loop by applying the OTA update from LG software update. If u did, the only way is to flash back with kdz!

Info2: Also if you flashed something what has caused an error loki ifying it and then bootloop, dont panic, use the command and flash something else working.

This command is handy, so write it down on paper or memorize it:.

Info3: If you enter the recovery by using POWER+volume up , ofc u need to enter the mentioned command in step 5 afterwards:::. Else you ll get a bootloop to recovery again.

Info4: If you are using philz touch recovery and have the aromafm zip file: Rename this file to "aromafm.zip" and place this into your external SD card into the clockworkmod/aromafm/aromafm.zip This way you can doubletap your recovery screen in philz touch and start your aromafm in a faster way.
[LG Optimus G Pro] droidbrain:
When I flashed zip it went into file manager and I had to acess the terminal from the menu. After the command string was entered I did get the 1,1 kb file message. When I tried to enter reboot, I got sh: reboot: not found. I exited console and closed file manager. It put me back into twrp. I then reboot back to system but I got the same secure boot message and back into twrp.
[LG Optimus G Pro] fosunite:
What did u do before u got in a bootloop?
[LG Optimus G Pro] ricco333:
You don't reboot from the console, you exit the console and also exit Aroma file manager back to CWM and then you just reboot system from Philz CWM and that should end your bootloop. Done it a bunch of times and always gets me out of the bootloop.

Erik
[LG Optimus G Pro] droidbrain:
I was installing the OTA ATT update. When the phone restarted it booted into twrp been stuck there since. I can get into download mode but thats about it.

---------- Post added at 05:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 PM ----------

That is exactly what I did. Only boots into twrp.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ricco333:
Then your problem is not the recovery, your phone is booting to recovery only because your ROM fails to boot. Try installing another ROM using TWRP to see if it fixes your problem.

Erik
[LG Optimus G Pro] droidbrain:
I have tried multiple roms and have had the same problem. The only rom that seemed to be successful is the one attached to the link in the beginning of the thread. Except it still gave me the secure boot message and booted into twrp.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ricco333:
What I would do in your case is restore back to stock using LG Flash Tools and then start over with FreeGee and install the recovery from there and see if your trouble clears.

Erik
[LG Optimus G Pro] fosunite:
Read info1 from my post.

U aplied the update and then u cannot boot. So u must flash kdz back to stock.
[LG Optimus G Pro] droidbrain:
How do I do that?

Better is that u should read this topic on the OP in the following link:

bootloop brick

hi all, I got a LG e980, had the 10p update, rooted it with vroot, used freegee to unlock the bootloader and install twrp recovery, then i had put some files in the internal storage for flashing....

then i realized my sd card wasnt reading....

tried various methods to see why the sd card was not detected, then i thought it was a problem with the recovery.... so i flashed philz recovery instead, and did a factory reset, install beanstalk, install gapps, and then rebooted to system, and instead, it rebooted back into the recovery...

took out the battery, inserted it again, powered up the phone, and again it rebooted into recovery....

Now, if i download these files, how am i to use them in the recovery? when i click "Install zip from /sdcard1, i get an error that there is no valid folder or file, and sometimes, it just hangs on recovery.... it used to hang on twrp recovery too....

so literally, the phone is bricked as I cant put anything in the internal storage, the recovery wont read the sd card, and i cant reboot into download mode as i get some facory hard reset... then it says to press power key to confirm, go to press it, i get a secure booting error.... so, dafaq is wrong with my phone?
[LG Optimus G Pro] electrojas:
So I recommend that You download madmacks TWRP v.2800 lokified. that has sd card fix. Place on internal sd with a pc. Let it bootloop into recovery and flash it. Should solve prob. Also I think there's a file browser in Philz not? I'm not sure but you may be able to either mount ext sd from philz or browse files from Philz and copy/paste to internal. Flash TWRP. Reboot and you should be straight. Good luck
[LG Optimus G Pro] KennyWRX:
I knew that applying the OTA on a rooted/non-stock device is a no no, BUT, does the same apply if you do the OTA update before rooting, installing recovery, and flashing rom, etc? Thanks
[LG Optimus G Pro] fosunite:
As long as you dont root, u can do the ota update. But if u root and then do the ota update, u brick your device and then u have to flash kdz.
[LG Optimus G Pro] t3chwizard:
Go to this link and download the file. It is a zip that fixes the boot loop without having to flash a different recovery. http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=52542763681632861392 it is not a direct link, you must click the download button at this link to download the file. Keep the zip file on your phone and just flash it every time the boot loop in recovery happens.

Heya XDA,

Over Winter break I put together a little app called CenterClock and it's now free on Google Play!

As the name implies, it changes the position of the status bar clock from left/ right to the center. What makes it unique is that it does this with the flip of a switch! No more need for custom firmware, Xposed, etc. (although if those are already an option they're likely more efficient).

It also offers the ability to change the color and action when clicked, so now you can launch the camera instantly from the top of your screen.

Please hit thanks and/ or rate it on Google Play if you like it, and let me know if you run into any issues.

Hello,

My LG G2 charging cable seems to not be working anymore.

I also have a bunch of random chargers/cords (some in better repair than others). Does anyone know a relatively cheap plug/cable to buy?

I'd like to just buy 5 or 6 of them to have and just have a standard one in the house, since I have 3 Nexus 7 tablets, 3 phones and various other things that charge with Micro USB.

Thanks!
[G2 Accessories] khaytsus:
http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charger-Samsung-Android-Devices/dp/B00DVH62J2

It'll charge two devices at about 1.6A or so, one at around 1A, the rest around 800mA, not sure about total real-world current if you're charging a bunch of devices at once.

But for me, it's perfect. I'm usually just topping off my G2 and Nexus 7 as I go to bed, and have other cords dangling out for my kids Nook Color, wifes Nook Touch, etc etc.
[G2 Accessories] gorillaz1:
That's not bad, I wish it was just all Android, instead of apple and android.

Is there a particular cable that works best for charging?
[G2 Accessories] khaytsus:
Nah don't worry about the crapple part of it, every port on it will charge at the "rated" speed with a normal USB cable on an Android device. In reality, it's about 80% rated from what I've seen, so like the 2.1 I've seen 1.7 out of, but that's not bad. I've charged my OG Note, LG G2, Nexus 7 2012 etc, all charge fine. Not as fast as their stock chargers, but the G2 charges at 1.5-1.7A so it's more than fast enough.

No special cable needed, you don't need a "charging" cable for sure. But there's a whole thread about the best cables to use for the G2. It's very picky about voltage sag, and cheap or very long cables it will drop down to a slower charge regardless of how much power the charger can provide. You might look at that thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2460881) if you're having specific issues or want to pick up a specific cable.

I haven't had any cable problems myself, except for connectors being too loose or too tight (G2 connector is weird).
[G2 Accessories] khaytsus:
BTW, I've been watching the last few days, and this charger does output higher output, it's just the G2 is kind of weird.. It'll ramp up and down what current it'd drawing, or something.. Like 1800 one second, then 1000, then 1200, then 1600, etc.. I realize that the reading has whatever the device is using removed from it (2000 in, 200 used = 1800 reading) but the G2 uses like 20mA idle, so..

Anyway.. I've seen as high as 1960mA according to Android Tuner.

[General Questions and Answers] Muthzer the One:
Well hello again :)

At the moment I have a little problem.

When I'm in a building I realized that my network becomes unstable cause of the permanent switching of network e.g. from G to E or from 3G to H etc.

I noticed that my connection stays stable when I'm on lowest bandwidth of preferred network

E.g. when forcing 2g it's stable as long it's on G and when forcing CDMA it's stable as long it's on 3g.

Normally I solved this problem with the dialer codes for Android, but since I'm running beanstalk on 4.4 they don't work anymore. With that I was able to disable hspa or edge and force the phone to stay on g or 3g.

Now I'd like to know if anyone has an idea how to force that without dialer codes.

After my research I'm of the opinion that it'd be possible by changing something in the build.prop data

However wasn't able to find out how.

Help would be appreciated :confused:

Overall Performance is good as always but when dragging down the notification abr it seems to stutter a little. This also happens sometimes when switching between homescreens. Opening Apps however is smooth as butter.

No lag experienced on mine, but I keep the phone pretty simple in what I run.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spartanier7:
Don´t get me wrong. It´s not that it really "lags", just the naimation stutters from time to time. It´s really only the notification pulldown animation. Everything else is buttery smooth. Even the pulldown only stutters sometimes. But I think I´m making a fuss here. I think it has to do witht he fact, that the light dims when pulling down since its seems to be better when using a dark background or doing it in settings etc. And that little stutter when the phone is busy I think is bearable for a 199 bucks phoen :P

Try a hard reset (you mean the one from recovery?) only if your lags are so untolerable and you really can't cope with them. Factory reset and hard reset are quite similar. If hard reset does not solve, you should try reflashing the firmware. Or just try not to be too aware of the lags (again, unless they're actually very bad) :D

Absolutely no risks, I just meant that your situation could even not change after the hard reset, so I was suggesting, before deciding to lose all your data with the hard reset, that you should be sure that your lags are unbearable.

If you don't mind about losing your data and set up all from the beginning, then give a try with the hard reset!
