Bootloader is unlocked? Have you tried booting the phone into fastboot mode and using the fastboot command "fastboot erase userdata"?
[Nexus 5 General] till22:
Hi guys, I can follow all steps until "If you see READY!!, then reconnect your phone. Then "Waiting for Connection" text will appear in the COM41 window." The problem is, after waiting for the connectio nfor a few seconds, I get the following error:

[EDIT: Just to clarify - the device is still in download mode, the only abnormal thing is getting this error message, all the rest seems to be fine]

The reason I am trying to use this LG flashtool because I can't seem to unlock my bootloader the "normal way" with the command

fastboot oem unlock

If it interests anyone, here's what's happening:

"Quick" questions: I swapped an old phone for a 16GB N5 today. The device is bootlooping, so I can't enable USB debugging in the dev settings and I suppose it is not enabled. The N5 is in complete stock status, the bootloader is still locked - and that's where my problem is.

I can get to the bootloader and the device is recognized with the correct S/N. The command "fastboot oem unlock" triggers the yes/no dialog on the phone, but then it is stuck in "LOCK STATE - unlocked" with the message "erasing..." for a very long time.

I have tried different USB cables and 2 different PCs and waited 40 min / 60 min / 90 min / 120 min.

"SECURE BOOT" is enabled, I don't remember from my previous N5 if this is normal (in stock) or not. I can't enter the stock recovery neither by the way, this just results in a black screen (screen is turned on).

Does anyone have any ideas I could try? I have to admit I didn't do the research that would be due (because I'm studying for my finals), but a quick search suggested that it can take up to 1,5 hours, but without avail in my N5. I'm sure this can be fixed, but as I said I'm currently too lazy to check every possible option myself..

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] paulicu.andrei:
yes, is unlocked. I tried everything, flashing, erasing, formatting, nothing works. I think it's completely dead :(
[Nexus 5 General] audit13:
Can the other partitions be erased or formatted?
[Nexus 5 General] paulicu.andrei:
sometimes they can be formatted, but most of the time they don't. I noticed something strange. the phone is trying to boot marshmallow 6.0.1, stuck at bootloop, of course, but the bootloader version is HHZ12d, wich is from lollipop 5.0.1. I can't flash anything, only the boot.img.
[Nexus 5 General] paulicu.andrei:
update: I can boot into second bootloader, by holding down both volume buttons+power button when phone is switched off. from there, I can flash everything from stock image, but separately, not by running flash-all. everything flashes succesfully, but the phone is still bricked, partitions still cannot be mounted!
[Nexus 5 General] audit13:
So the phone bootloader remains unlocked after each reboot?

At end, are you erasing userdata, flashing userdata.img, booting directly to recovery after flashing userdata.img, and performing a factory wipe?
[Nexus 5 General] paulicu.andrei:
recovery is twrp, can't flash stock, can't wipe to factory state, can't mount data, cache and persist. the thing is, from second bootloader (HHZ11d), if I run flash-all.bat after succesfully flashing bootloader, the phone restarts back to the first bootloader(HH12d) and then nothing can be flashed. is there a way to delete the main bootloader, so I can flash only from the secondary one?
[Nexus 5 General] audit13:
The fact that the bootloader can't be changed is another sign the emmc is dead. Sounds like a motherboard swap is the only thing that will fix the issue.

I had a nexus 5 where the bootloader would sometimes remain unlocked after a reboot, sometimes not. Same phone would accept a new bootloader, sometimes not. I tried every version of mm and LP without success.
[Nexus 5 General] paulicu.andrei:
thanks for trying to help.
[Nexus 5 General] audit13:
No problem. We are all here to help each other. I recommend looking for a used nexus 5 with a smashed screen and a working motherboard. This would be cheaper than buying a new nexus 5 or motherboard.

Nexus 5 with a dead emmc is not uncommon.
[Nexus 5 General] till22:
You think I may have a similar issue? I posted the exact details a few posts back.

Sent from my N5X, excuse brevity
[Nexus 5 General] audit13:
When you connect the Nexus 5 to your computer, is the phone listed when you type the command "fastboot deives"?

What error are you getting when running the command "fastboot oem unlock"?
[Nexus 5 General] till22:
Yes, it is listed with the correct S/N. I can also use "fastboot reboot-bootloader" or "fastboot getvar all".

When I send the command "fastboot oem unlock" the N5 reacts as it should, I choose "yes", screen turns black for about 20-30 seconds, and then I am in the bootloader again with the message "STATUS UNLOCKED" and "erasing..." message, like this: click.

It just stays like that and the phone doesn't react to any command from the PC anymore, I have to press VOL DOWN + PWR for it to reboot into the bootloader.
[Nexus 5 General] audit13:
When you reboot the phone, is the bootloader locked again? I see it says "unlocked" in the image.
[Nexus 5 General] till22:
Yes, when I force reboot the phone to the bootloader again, the bootloader is locked again.

I tried to unlock the bootloader on 2 differenct PCs with different USB cables and waited quite a long time (longest one was about 3 hours).
[Nexus 5 General] audit13:
The emmc is damaged and I know of no way to fix this issue using software. I still have a motherboard that allows me to unlock the bootloader and it says it is unlocked but it relocks itself at reboot. The phone was running a stock LP ROM and it is stuck at the screen with the spinning balloons.
[Nexus 5 General] demonr6:
Is there a way to get the stock Lollipop for this? Ever since we updated to Marshmallow on my wife's device the thing is almost constantly rebooting. We can pinpoint the problem to the update and nothing else. I have reset to factory and cleared the cache like some suggest and went to the extent of a tear down last night to clean the power button but fail. The only thing left I have not tried is the battery but it is barely two years old and I don't want to throw money at that when we know the problem started with the stupid update of the OS.

TIA
[Nexus 5 General] audit13:
You can flash back to stock LP if the phone has an unlocked bootloader.

http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/guide-nexus-5-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t2507905

I have upgraded 10 nexus 5 phones to mm via ota and none of them have experienced random reboots.

You also try reflashing a stock mm to see if it still happens. Could it be an app that is causing the reboots?
[Nexus 5 General] paulicu.andrei:
can anyone post a link with a nandroid backup here? or pm me one? I want to try to push some files via adb, maybe I can mount partitions again using TWRP. I know I can get serious damage doing that, but at this point there is not much I can do, and I am willing to give it a try!

Anybody managed to install the LG driver on W10 ?

I have followed the instructions and all I get is battery charging icon and the phone is recognized as MTP Device.

no LG Mobile Serial Port anywhere to be found (yes I installed the driver first exactly as in the guide)

Firmware d821 on nexus d820?

I have a Nexus 5 d8020, the problem is that where I live does not support the use of 4g.

Can I install the firmware + dll d8021 withou problem or is this not possible?
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
There is no difference in firmware. It's the same factory image for either device. It's a hardware difference between the different devices.

So can i flash it without problem?

I'm sorry, I did not understand perfectly.
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
Yes you can. But it isn't going to help you with your 4G issue. There's different hardware between the d820 and d821 which allows different bands.

Hi

well i have one specific reason, actually before going on to lg flash tool I tried with fastboot, but there is no luck when i flash it throws back with failed to flash like that, so that's the reason i end up with fastboot.

[Nexus 5 General] emmagata:
On my LG Gpad 8.3 fastboot devices returns a "?". I cannot get any flash method (fastboot, LG Flashtool, etc) to work. IF I type "fastboot boot boot.img" (with the boot.img in the current folder) the tablet will boot up as if it's doing an initial setup but the touch screen doesn't respond. It's got some smarts because screen rotation works as does the cover sensor (when open and close the display goes out and comes back on) and it knows it's charging.

Hi there, I've been having trouble with all forms of flashing and factory reset with my nexus 5, and on this, it gets to around 100s and then says userdata erase Fail. then at 200+ seconds it will say 'we can't communicate' and the top bar will change to red and say Download FAIL!! Any idea why this error keeps being thrown for me? when using adb shell i also have trouble looking at the filesystem for userdata.

try fastboot format userdata or format data inside twrp, if it wont work then you probably have a fried emmc

Recently tried to flash a blacked out version of Google Play Store, used TWRP, after reboot, i opened up the play store and it closed on me. I deleted the blacked out version, install play store again and still closes on me. I googled the "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped" error, tried all the suggestions but to no avail, cleared data, cache, rebooted into recovery, cleared cache. The store will open up, but as soon as i hit update on any of my apps, it closes. Did i trigger something in my phone when i tried to flash the backout version of the play store? I even installed from a backup in Titanium and it also closes after i try to update any apps. I do have a nandroid backup but dont want to resort to that just yet.

Now is the time to use the nandroid backup.. or titanium backup user apps and reflash. This is the reason you make nandroid backups so you don't have to waste hours trying to fix silly issues like this.

After the 4.4 kitkat update there was Samsung's keyboard support to use Emoji. How appreciative.

However, this over write and views all the emoji on their owns. Very intricate and clumsy and too complicated. Very tiny and makes it hard to optically make what it is. Note has big screen but the main point of emoji is the impact. Making Big face but instead they play shrunk down twist.

Does anyone know how to turn this off? I can see all Google hangout emojis' on hangout but once used on the chat windows,samsung's own pop out. Is there anyone find a way to switch this option on and off. I don't use samsung keyboard anyway. Miss using hangout ON the phone itself.

Samsung likes to add more features and pack a lot on new devices and then take away all the most and better features off on new devices.:eek:

[Zooper Widget General] MrBiggzz:
*Question: Is there a way to mix or change fonts?*

Reason why I'm asking is if I have text on an arc I can save a lot of real estate by using something like icomoon and use a font representation of a battery rather then spelling out battery.

The other side of this is as text grows and shrinks using a static image would not work since it would have to grow and shrink with the text.

Example:

View attachment 2680281

Is there a way to say B

And .. if I can't do that can I include a bitmap image instead?

That part of the layout read as follows right now :

Battery #BLEV# - #NWOC# - #NCCONNS#

Trying not to get so ahead of myself if the options are there.

Thanks for your efforts in answering!

- Dave
[Zooper Widget General] kwerdenker:
No, it's not possible to change the font for certain text parts. Only for the whole Text module. Also it's not possible to inline a bitmap into a text module.

here's the solution

on your root of device; you'll find pim.vol file; copy it on ur sd card (i tried to copy it on my computer but it didnt let me) so copy it on sd card ; reflash your fone; and copy it back to original location (overwrite new pim.vol when u flash it)

easy>>huh?

Thanks sooo very much! one more thing! Reflash my fone? do u mean soft reset? or just sync it? then u say to recopy it and then overwrite the original? plz explain...I'm with you so far as copying pim file to my storage card... :)

thx for your patience! lol
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] meschle:
Re: reflash?

Reflash means update rom - thats what the first poster was about to do. So if you ever update your rom or hard reset your device (i.e. return your device to factory condition) you have a backup of your pim.

Also you need to rename the new pim.vol to pim.vo before you can restore the backed up version as it wont overwrite that file using total commander file explorer etc...

Hello all !!!

For a long time now i've been reading and enjoying XDA forums (with several devices along the years) :)

i guess it's finally my time to post a question i haven't been able to figure out :eek:

The story goes like this -

I had a sudden death syndrome , (unfortunately my /efs folder wasn't backed up ).

My phone was stuck on boot.

At first i tried to wipe cache/ dalvik / factory reset as i thought it's some other regular problem solved by the normal means :).

i also couldn't restore from backup (with an error message i don't remember). anyways i understood i had to backup my /efs folder so i switched to twrp . did a backup with it to the efs folder which i think was corrupted (it size was 0 MB).

what i did next was to flash a stock rom and restore efs with twrp (hope i was wrong and it wasn't corrupted) (the twrp still says its 0 MB).

now my phone is with twrp and stock and is still stuck on boot.

what can i do next? how to get it back running - and then i guess my imei would be gone ... ??/

thanks!

(I have an i9300 which i bought on ebay an i dont know the original stock:( )
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Take it to a reputable repair centre who can recode your efs, without a valid efs backup there is nothing you can do.

Sudden death syndrome means a dead motherboard, you don't have that although your emmc chip might be damaged.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gap12:
Thanks for the quick reply!!

would recovering my efs be possible if my phone can get only to recovery/download mode ?

What exactly is this?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mpegger:
Seeing as how the $640 price tag for the T-Mobile M8 is only that price with a plan, and I intend to use it on prepaid, I cannot get the M8 from T-Mobile without a $100-$150 price hike, and that's before taxes. :mad:

As I travel alot outside of the NYC area, I will more then likely (if Sprint is any indication) encounter various areas that would require all the radios T-Mobile supports in order to have the fastest data speeds possible at all (most) times. I have read that the AT&T version should have full support of the T-Mobile radios, however, they have a radio disabled (in rom? hardware?) and it won't support

all

the T-Mobile radios, and that the Google Play version is based on the AT&T hardware.

So I am confused on which M8 I should get to have full radio support for T-Mobile networks. Google Play? Unlocked? Straight from HTC/unlocked? If the AT&T based hardware has the radio support, and can have it re-enabled with a future patch, will it even matter which version I get now?:confused:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pudgewack:
I can not find the link, but the Google Play Edition and the TMO version should be fully compatible with TMO. Both those versions have access to the AWS band for HSPA.....there is talk about being able to unlock the AWS bands on the Dev, unlocked, and ATT versions, but as far as I know, it has not been confirmed yet.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mpegger:
I remember a thread like that too. The posters were not 100% sure if all the radios were unlocked, which is what I was referencing in my OP. I don't want to get the GPE just because it "should" support it, I want it to be 100% sure it fully supports every frequency that T-Mobile uses (even if it has to be unlocked to do so).
